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

Hello, my undeadly darlings.
It's Teresa, your resident ghost host.
And do I have a treat for you.
Haunting is crawling out from the shadows, and it's going to be devilishly good.
We've got chills, thrills, and stories that'll make you wish the lights stayed on.
So join me, won't you?
Let's dive into the eerie unknown together.
Sleep tight, if you can.
Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Where we start with Yee?
Well, let's start with opening, not opening.
Miami-Dade says they are not planning to reopen the beaches anytime soon.
So the mayor there has not made an announcement on how and when they'll reopen.
But he did say during a virtual town hall,
opening beaches is not in the works at all.
So that's not happening anytime soon.
You said that's when?
Now, that's Miami-Dade.
So Miami Beach, all of that is not going to be open. I'm confused.
I thought the other day they said all Florida beaches were open.
That wasn't true?
That was in Jacksonville.
Oh, just Jacksonville.
They recommend that beaches in Miami-Dade not reopen at this time.
Okay?
You know, different places in Florida look at different places in Florida with the same disgust that a lot of other people do.
So Miami kind of looks down on Jacksonville.
Miami looks at Jacksonville and says, oh, the ghetto.
You know?
So I get it.
Now, certain businesses in Georgia can reopen at the end of the week, according to the governor, Brian Kemp.
Here he is.
Well, I can tell you, I don't give a damn about politics right now. These are tough decisions,
but we also got to think about the effects on our economy and on these individuals from a mental
health perspective, from a physical health perspective, and literally for people being
able to put food on their tables. And I believe that this measured approach has got us to the time to trust our people
to keep going after and beating this virus, but do it in a way that is responsible.
It's very hard to trust Brian Kemp.
So, this appears that restaurants can open on April 27th.
They think that some businesses can reopen as early as Friday, like gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, hair and nail salons, estheticians.
Now, he did also say that this will likely increase cases of coronavirus.
But he said that they're better prepared than they were over a month ago.
They have the hospital bed capacity and the community knowledge and a lot of things in place.
It's too soon, man.
Very important to note, too, that Governor Brian Kemp didn't even know that asymptomatic
patients could spread the disease a couple of weeks ago.
So I don't know how much he knows about the virus now.
I do say this.
I hope Georgia, I hope they reopen and I pray nothing goes wrong.
I pray that they can handle it, because if they do and things go right, that would be
a test for a lot of the rest of the country.
So, yeah, I think it's too soon, bro. I think it's too soon.
It's very dangerous to be playing with people and not honestly know and not have a vaccine.
That thing is spread like wildfire like it did before. And we'll be back in the same situation. It's too soon.
Well, the governor of South Carolina is allowing some businesses to reopen.
So that's going to be starting today. Retail departments, sporting
goods stores, flea markets will be allowed to open at 20% capacity. Businesses in Tennessee
are allowed to reopen on May 1st, according to the governor there. In Illinois, the governor
is considering reopening parts of the state on a regional basis. And the Jacksonville mayor,
as far as reopening the beaches, has said the community is responding well to guidelines.
And therefore, even though that governor, Lenny Curry, I mean, that mayor, Lenny Curry, did draw criticism over the weekend for reopening the beaches too soon.
He said he has been in constant contact with law enforcement and mayors who have been strong in the face of national, international news running sensational headlines without understanding our city.
So question, are all those other states,
are they talking like Governor Kemp,
meaning that are they saying things like the hospitals can handle it?
Are they have the necessary things in place to handle cases rising?
Do they feel that way?
They haven't said it in that way.
They haven't said we expect more cases.
I think the goal is to not have more cases, I would say.
But it's impossible, though.
Like, if you said...
Impossible.
Well, not increase cases.
I wouldn't say you would want to increase cases.
You wouldn't keep them down, I would assume.
Impossible, though.
That's what Brian Kim said.
Brian Kim said, you know, he expects an increase in cases,
but he said they have the capacity to handle it.
So that's what I'm saying.
Do the other states feel that way too?
Because if you're putting people out there with such a contagious disease, it's going to be an increase in cases.
Absolutely.
And there is no cure.
There's no vaccine.
So you're playing with people's lives saying, no, we'll be able to handle it.
No, some people's bodies can't handle it.
You have a lot more deaths.
Don't play with people's lives.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Love to hear what you think if you live in one of those places.
Get it off your chest.

If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Phone lines are wide open.
The number again is 800-585-1051.
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 Laudonia.
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.
The Waikana tribe own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh, my god.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets. We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
And we're losing daylight fast.

working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.
It's a family-friendly podcast.
Yeah, you heard that right.
A podcast for all ages.
One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.
I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it.
Make sure you check it out.
Hey, y'all.
Nimany here.
I'm the host of a brand new history podcast
for kids and families
called Historical Records.
Historical Records brings history
to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me
Did you know, did you know
I wouldn't give up my seat
Nine months before Rosa
It was called a moment
Get the kids in your life
excited about history
by tuning in
to Historical Records
because in order
to make history,
you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Angel.
Hey, Angel, get it off your chest.
Hey, Angel.
Hey, guys, good morning.
Good morning.
I just watched the battle last night.
Uh-huh.
What you thought?
I think that it was, I really enjoyed it.
Like, I had a good time.
I was catching them all.
But Uncle Teddy could have left that Foxy Brown song
and that JV song.
Because on the solo, he played the Remember the Time. I was like, dang, Uncle Teddy could have left that Foxy Brown song and that Jay-Z song. Because on the solo, he played the Remember the Time.
I was like, dang.
I think Remember the Time was going to be his last joint, though.
But Foxy Brown is a classic.
That's a smash.
Yeah, I would have definitely played that.
I would have left out the whole, though.
But Foxy was a smash.
Yeah, I didn't expect him to get a round off Foxy.
But he did.
I wouldn't have played the Jay-Z record either, though.
I think they might have their own favorites, too.
Say who what? I don't think nobody. I mean, me personally, I don't have played the Jay-Z record either, though. I think they might have their own favorites, too. Who what? I don't think nobody...
I mean, me personally, I don't think nobody won.
I think it's a matter of preference.
I think Babyface got it.
I don't see how you can say that.
I don't see enough rounds going to either one of them to say
that there's a decisive winner.
A lot of those songs could have been draws.
A lot of those songs could have went either way.
I think Babyface got it, man.
The last four out of five songs was strictly,
it was straight went to Babyface.
I think Babyface got it.
The last four out of five?
I think like four out of five songs, yeah.
So you telling me, okay, let's look at these.
So last four out of five.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
Okay, so.
Yeah, Ma, Ma, Ma.
He played Dangerous.
He got Ma, Ma, Ma, Red Light Special. Yeah. I get at the face. Superwoman. Okay, so Yeah, My My My He played Dangerous We got My My My
Red Light Special
Yeah
I Get At The Face
Superwoman
I Get At The Face
Rump Shaker
Could be a draw
Or you could give it to Teddy
I Get At The
I Give It To Teddy
But it could be a draw
I Make Love To You
I Get At The Face
Yes, that's four out of five
The last four out of five
With Ted Face
No Diggity
Versus the
Whitney Houston
That was the last song
Well, we don't know what the last song is.
I think the last song, I need you to remember.
We don't know what the last song was.
But the last song that they battled, four out of five went to Babyface.
I think Babyface had it.
What do you think, Mama?
What about the other 15?
We can go back and forth.
A lot of them were tied.
But the last four out of five was, in my opinion, the deciding factor.
Because it was pretty close until the last four out of five.
And he just smashed it.
I think it was a draw.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, this is Vanell.
How you doing, radio family?
Good morning.
Hello, radio family.
Get it off your chest, mama.
Everyone is talking about getting back down in the economy.
But, you know, you choose your own battle.
If you want to go out there and expose yourself,
it's on you, because I would take the same precautions. You don't have to jump out there
to the stores. You can still watch it yourself. Everyone's like, oh no, open it up. I'm in South
Carolina. Our governor is opening up stuff today. That is true. And it's a minimum, how many people
in the store, are you going to have a designated person at the door to dictate how many people
coming in and out? They haven't
been doing it, so it's not going to be any different.
So to me, you're just putting people out
there. You're putting yourself out there
actually. You can stay in the house. You can continue
to quarantine yourself. I'm a police officer.
The most, what they're not talking about
is all the domestic stuff that's going
on. We get more cases of that
than we do of this corona. It is
ridiculous. We have had so many
child abuse, domestic
and stuff going on. I mean,
11 calls in one night.
So it's just... Yeah, I've been hearing that.
It is really terrible.
And I mean, I've been out here since 2 o'clock
this morning and I'm still going.
So everybody needs to choose their own
vitals and think about what your
decision is. The mayor can't pick your choices for you.
You pick your own.
Protect yourself.
That is very true.
That is a nightmare to be locked in the house with an abuser.
It is.
It is.
On my turn.
I'm sorry.
There's more abuse going out here.
And when I say 11 cases in one night, not even that is the children.
These children are crying to get out of the house.
The little boy told me just yesterday, can you just please take me to school?
Because my daddy don't bother me when I'm at school.
How does that feel?
Oh, have mercy.
That's awful.
And I just, it's really sad.
And people just keep saying, the corona, corona, corona.
It's not just the corona.
I mean, everybody's talking about corona.
What about these other people's lives?
It's really serious out here.
These people got to understand it is really serious.
And I give all you blessings to stay inside and protect your own families.
Don't be listening to what the mayor is saying.
Absolutely.
Take care of your own life.
Absolutely.
I have blessings for all you all.
Y'all be safe and take care.
Be safe.
All right. Thank you. for all you all. Y'all be safe and take care. Be safe. All right.
Thank you.
Thanks for your work.
That gives you a whole nother perspective on what's going on in some people's households.
Yeah, we talked about that a couple weeks ago.
My attorney friend in South Carolina was like, yo, that was early.
He had like six cases already.
And this was like early, early in the quarantine.
Get it off your chest.

I'm darling. I'm darling.
Hey, what you doing, man?
I'm darling. I'm calling you.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
800-585-1051.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this? You.
What's good, Envy? What's up, Trav? What's going on?
Ain't nothing much.
What's going on, Envy?
Hey, Trav. How you doing,
boo? I'm good, boo. How are you?
I'm doing good. What's going on,
Char? Hey, sis. I feel like you're about
to say something stupid and young, but go ahead. How you doing, my mom's going on, Char? Hey, sis. I feel like you're about to say something stupid and young.
But go ahead.
How you doing, my mom?
You good, sis?
Mama.
I'm talking to you, Charlamagne.
Oh, you're talking to me?
Oh, you never called me mama before.
That's a new one.
But listen, I'm calling to talk about, so Ashley Yee, you have brought yourself, like,
maybe a couple weeks ago.
And I saw Timberland and Swift
talking about Dr. Dre and Diddy
and I honestly think
that a better matchup would be
Missy versus Diddy
not only for the music
just personality wise
just energy wise
just like being on live together wise
and I just feel like Dr. Dre
is going to be like
he's going to need a lot of help
he's not going to be
as entertaining
as Missy versus Diddy.
I want to see some of our women
represent like crazy.
Also, Missy Elliott
has some crazy back catalog.
We know with her own crew.
And then...
You need to see Diddy
and Dr. Dre.
That's the matchup.
FYI though,
why do they got to be entertaining?
Why can't they just
let the music talk?
Yeah, Dr. Dre and Diddy
both will be amazing.
It just helps.
I think that's the battle.
We have 500,000 people watching you.
It just helps to also have some type of entertainment.
There's some type of back and forth.
You know, going back and forth.
And not the type of entertainment like Teddy Rowley.
Like this type of entertainment.
Oh my God.
Say if it's a draw and then somebody gets you way more hype about their song Teddy Raleigh. Like, this is a whole epic spell type of entertainment. Oh my God. But Dr. Dre, watch your mouth.
Say if it's a draw
and then somebody
gets you way more hype
about their song,
it might make you
lean towards something.
Yeah,
I don't like stuff like that.
He's a legend.
He's a king.
But Missy and Diddy
would be better.
But all right, y'all.
Dr. Dre was on,
he actually FaceTimed
Teddy last night
on the line.
And he said he's not,
he's not interested.
He said he don't know
if he's interested or not. He said he don't know if he's interested or not.
He said he don't think this is for him.
I think they should do it, man.
I think that would be great.
Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now, we got rumors on the way, E?
Yes, let's talk about this Michael Jordan documentary
and the numbers that it did in the first night that it came out, the two parts.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Yes, Michael Jordan still putting up those big numbers.
Now let's talk about The Last Dance,
the first two parts of his highly anticipated docuseries on ESPN.
Now, it aired on ESPN and ESPN2.
On ESPN alone, it broke all kinds of records.
It drew 5.7 million, and the second episode followed with 5 million.
But combined on both networks, it averaged 6.1 million viewers that's huge numbers for that
for ESPN absolutely now the docuseries won't net him any money because he's actually going to be
donating all that money to charity so all of the proceeds that he will receive which is estimated
to be around three or four million dollars will be going to charity so remember those numbers in
20 years because we will uh pull them up and compare them to LeBron
James documentary when his comes out 20 years from now.
That's just the way we are as a people.
All right.
Now, Idris Elba is under the gun from people, and that is for saying that we should quarantine
a week every year.
Listen to this.
I think that the world should take a week of quarantine every year just to remember this time and remember
each other. Other species use it, it's called hibernation, but it does remind you that the
world doesn't tick on your time. Yeah, I didn't understand why everybody was so mad.
I don't see the problem. I don't understand like, you know,
the fact that this happened, the fact that we lost so many people, but the fact that it brought
a lot of families closer. So, I mean, I didn't see why people were so upset
with what he said.
It's not a great experience for everyone.
It's great if you're staying in a really nice home,
if you're still getting paid, if you're comfortable,
but it's a nightmare for some people.
So I guess for the people who are going through it,
they said nobody wants to be reminded
about the coronavirus.
It's just Elvis needs to take his own advice. And, you know, some people agree. And I think you would agree if
you're comfortable and you're not going through some type of tragedy. But if you are, it's not
a great time. Yeah, but I think I take what he's saying as, you know, isolation is a form of self
care. You know, sometimes you do need to disconnect. Sometimes you do need to just be with
your family. You do just need to be away from everybody for a week.
I do it all the time.
So that's what I took from it.
And then I also thought that, you know, the fact that they said it healed the earth.
They said it was healing the earth.
Some people were on Twitter saying, get a grip.
People can't afford to just stay at home for a week.
And some people do have to work and make money.
Some people were saying, do you think those poor people who live in tower blocks with sick kids running crazy would want to do this?
You fool.
So listen,
if you're having a struggle right now,
it's not fun.
And some people,
some people,
some people are just pessimists
and they will see a problem
in every solution,
everything.
Like you can't,
you can't even argue
with people like that.
I think it depends on your situation.
Like we had the police officer
call this morning
and talk about all the domestic violence calls for those people remembering coronavirus time
as a nightmare. And they might not want to do something like that. So it just all depends on
your situation. All right. Now, Birdman has offered to pay the rent for New Orleans residents. He said,
I would like to offer to pay everybody's rent for the month of May for those who are in need
and residence area of uptown New Orleans, where I was born and raised at.
And he said,
I would like to support us and accomplish this.
And he also shouted out Q93 shout out to our girl Uptown Angela. He wants them to help out.
He spoke with Angela as well.
And he said,
our mayor will help support this cause mayor Cantrell.
And also he wants to thank the hospitals on the front lines,
risking their life to save lives.
I want to thank everybody that works with
the Gladys and Johnny Foundation
and my company, Cash Money Records.
That's a blessing.
Dropping the clothes bombs to Birdman, that's a blessing.
Yeah, coronavirus isn't a fun time
for people who can't afford to pay their rent.
So I'm sure, you know, again.
Now, Dwayne Johnson.
Y'all know that's not what Idris meant, though.
We gotta stop doing that
We know Idris didn't mean it like that
He wasn't talking about that
I know it's not what he meant
But I think that it is also
Important to be empathetic to people who aren't
In a great situation like you are
Who aren't comfortable living in a nice home
I think he was empathetic, I think he was looking at it from a different angle
From people, mental health and for people
Staying together as a family and
Helping this country as far as they said, the pollution
rates are down and all that other stuff. That's what I think he was looking at. I don't think
he was looking at it like, oh, if you ain't got no money, stay in your, in your, in your
shack. No, that wasn't, I don't think that's what he would, he meant by at all.
Well, he also, he said that he was talking about like hibernation, how some animals hibernate.
He's right. Your therapist tells you that all the time. Your therapist will tell you to disconnect.
Your therapist will tell you to just take time to yourself.
Your therapist will tell you to get away for a couple of days.
Like, they got mental health breaks that job.
Yes, 100%.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
What are we talking about?
We are going to talk about certain states are going to be reopening and certain counties in those states will give you some of the breakdowns
on who's planning to reopen soon. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is the
Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We
are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well,
Donald Trump is temporarily suspending immigration into the
united states he said he will sign an executive order doing that as the nation is battling the
health and economic effects of coronavirus he said it's done in the light of the attack from
the invisible enemy or the coronavirus pandemic and to protect u.s. jobs. All right, and as we're talking about coronavirus,
let's talk about certain places that they are saying can reopen.
Now, certain businesses in Georgia can reopen at the end of the week,
according to the governor, Brian Kemp.
Here's what he said.
Well, I can tell you I don't give a damn about politics right now.
These are tough decisions,
but we also got to think about the effects on our economy and on these individuals from a mental health perspective, from a physical health perspective, and literally for people being able to put food on their tables.
And I believe that this measured approach has got us to the time to trust our people, to keep going after and beating this virus, but do it in a way that is responsible.
Yeah, that makes me nervous.
He said, I believe we'll be able to stay on top of it.
If we have an instance where a community starts to become a hotspot,
then you know I'll take further action.
But right now, I feel like we're in a good spot to move forward.
Yeah, that makes me feel nervous, man.
Yeah, it's just hard to trust Brian Kemp.
Brian Kemp didn't even know that asymptomatic patients could spread the disease.
So I don't know how much he knows about the virus now.
Yeah, that makes me nervous, man.
I don't think they know what they're doing.
They're just doing it for the money, which I understand.
But there's a lot of people that's going to die.
There's going to be a lot of people that's going to be killed by this
because they're opening up for the money.
And a lot of those are elderly.
I agree with you, but just to play white devil's advocate,
I'm going to say, okay, let's give them the benefit of the doubt
and say they've been studying this for the past few weeks, every day.
They know more about it than us.
You know what I mean?
And I think one of the biggest issues that we faced with corona
was the healthcare system simply couldn't handle it.
You know, it's just not enough beds.
If they say they got it under control, maybe they do.
It's like playing Russian roulette with your body. You don't know how your body's beds. If they say they got it under control, maybe they do. I doubt it.
It's like playing Russian roulette with your body. You don't know how your body's going to react to this. They don't know.
Just a couple of days ago, they said we had to wear masks.
Like, they're figuring this out every day.
And not to play with old, elderly people.
You still got to wear masks, though.
When they reopen Georgia and stuff like that,
it's still going to be social distancing rules in place, and you still
got to wear masks and all of that. Bro, they're talking about
restaurants, theaters, private social clubs, restaurants,
barbershops. Like you're not wearing a mask in a private social club. You're not wearing a mask
to get a haircut. You're not wearing a mask to certainly. Are you crazy? But you do have to
follow social distancing guidelines and you do have to screen employees for illnesses
and all of that. So like in South Carolina, the governor is allowing some businesses to reopen,
but they'll be open, for instance, retail stores, sporting goods stores,
department stores, flea markets.
They open at 5 p.m.
They opened yesterday at 5 p.m.
and they opened at 20% capacity or five people per 1,000 square feet.
So they're just trying to make sure that they do it kind of slowly
to get back into business.
And masks about to be the new thing.
I'm not talking about them N95 masks.
You see all these designer masks
they already got out.
They already got Versace masks,
Gucci masks, Louis masks.
These niggas are going to have
their masks on.
All right, well, businesses in Tennessee
are allowed to reopen on May 1st,
according to the governor,
Governor Bill Lee there.
And so he said our economic recovery group is working with industry leaders around the clock so that some businesses can open as soon as Monday, April 27th.
These businesses will open according to specific guidance that we will provide in accordance with state and national experts in both medicine and business.
In Illinois, the governor is considering reopening parts of the state on a regional basis.
And Jacksonville, the mayor there has said that it was successful reopening the beaches.
According to the mayor there, Lenny Curry, the community is responding well,
and he's been in constant contact with law enforcement and mayors
who have been strong in the face of national, international news,
running sensational headlines without understanding our city.
So he said the limited beach reopening is the first step in returning back to normal.
I just hope that all of these states' health care systems can handle it.
I just hope that their hospitals don't get overran, overcrowded.
Like, to me, that's the biggest issue.
If they say they can handle it, we about to see because we don't believe you i don't all right dr anthony fauci is also talking about major league baseball
they could play with fans in stands he reiterated that they would have a shortened season with games
played in one or a handful of cities without any fans but then another version of his plan
would limit the number of fans in a stadium, seat them spread out to observe social distancing rules
and make sure that they are wearing masks.
See, is it dangerous or not?
Because the way y'all see, two weeks ago,
everybody had to stay home or we'd die.
That's what I'm saying.
Go to baseball games, the barbershop.
Nobody knows.
Which one is it?
Okay, you can't be playing with my emotions like this.
Nobody knows.
What if we're going outside or if we're not going outside.
Okay?
We halfway.
We halfway.
One foot in the house, one foot outside.
We confused.
So we doing the hokey pokey?
Yes.
Didn't we just have Dr. Fauci on last week,
and Dr. Fauci said that if they did bring back sports,
it would be with no crowd.
Now, four days later, it's with a crowd.
He was just on Friday.
We just had him on.
Jesus Christ.
That's what I'm saying.
This thing changes so much. They don't know.
Right now it's just a money grab. They're trying to get money
back into the system, but you're going to wind up
killing a lot of people.
Alright, now another issue people are having
is calls to poison control
centers. Those calls have skyrocketed
and that's because of cleaning products.
People are cleaning everything
and they're having
exposure, reported exposures because of that.
So exposure among children under the age of five consistently represented a large percentage of total cause.
For instance, a preschool age child became dizzy, then hit her head on the floor after she ingested an unknown amount of hand sanitizer.
She was taken to the hospital and had a high blood alcohol level, three times the legal limit of driving.
It was an intensive care.
Yes, a second case involved a woman who soaked
her produce by filling her sink
with bleach, vinegar, and water.
After hearing on the news she should clean her groceries
before eating them, that combination
created toxic gas chlorine
and she could not breathe
after that and had to call 911 and get
oxygen therapy. So So she's fine.
She recovered, but there's a lot of
calls now to poison control centers.
Yeah. We're scaring
ourselves to death. Like we're so in our heads.
We have so much anxiety around, you know,
catching coronavirus from, you know, things being
on surfaces that we're actually killing ourselves
behind it. Yeah, and I understand it.
I understand it because we're so scared
that we're making out.
We have all these things in our house now.
We're not putting it back up, and our kids are getting to it.
I put some hand sanitizer in my three-year-old's hand the other day.
This was about three weeks ago.
And the first thing she wanted to do was smell it and touch her face with it.
And it almost went in her eye, and I had to grab her hand fast
because they don't know, and you have to train them and explain it to them.
But I have so many things around the house, wipes, sprays, and all that.
You got to be extra, extra careful when you got young kids.
I let the record show.
My cord came out my headphone, and so when I put it back in,
all I heard them say was, she wanted to put it in her face and touch it.
And I was like, what?
That's what I heard.
I was talking about my three-year-old, sir.
What were you talking about, though?
Forget it.
All right, well, that is front page news
Now phone lines are wide open
Let's talk for a little bit
800-585-1051
Last night babyface Teddy Riley
Over 4 million people were checked in to watch that battle
What did you think?
Who won?
Let's talk about it
And I saw a lot of people had to watch on their 400,000
Over 400,000
But I saw a lot of people had to watch Oh all together probably All together it said over 4 million Watch on their 400,000, over 400,000.
But I saw a lot of people had to watch.
Oh, Altogether probably.
Altogether said over 4 million.
Swissbeast said over 4 million people checked in.
So they actually told you you had to go on your laptop.
A lot of people were having issues trying to log on to watch it.
So, you know, that's how many people were on.
Yeah, I couldn't actually check it out on the phone.
It was freezing.
So I had to download Google Chrome.
And then when you pop it, when you... To go through a lot, right?
I had to go through a lot last night to watch it.
I didn't really get in until I think the end of the third round, beginning of the fourth
round.
But it was well worth the wait, man.
And it was a great battle.
But let's talk about it.
Who won?
800-585-1051.
I think Babyface won.
I don't think it was...
I don't see how you can say that.
The last four out of five
Babyface took, and I think a lot of the other ones...
Last three out of five.
Last three out of five, Babyface. Four out of five, bro.
Three out of five. We'll go through it, and we want you guys
to weigh in also and see who you think
won the battle. Okay. Alright, let's talk
about it. 800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club. Come on.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in for the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking the Babyface-Teddy Riley battle last night.
They said there was over 4 million people that checked this battle out.
It was very hard to get it in at first.
I had to download Google Chrome, then from Google Chrome,
log on to my Instagram, and then find it.
But once I did that on Google Chrome, it was clear.
No problems.
I didn't have problems.
I mean, it froze every once in a while,
but it was absolutely positively way, way, way, way better.
That's a game changer for Instagram Live, by the way.
If you can watch it on your computer,
you can mirror it to your computer, you can mirror it
to your TV then, right?
Correct.
Word.
So what did you guys
think of the battle?
I thought it was
a great matchup
between the two of them.
First of all,
my friends,
we have a high school
group chat
and they kept on,
I had probably like
a hundred back and forth
text messages
while everybody was
watching the battle
at home.
So it was really fun
for us to have
those discussions,
but it was a tough one.
It was really, really close according to my scorecard.
It wasn't a shutout at all.
Nobody said it was a shutout, but who did you give it to?
You had to give it to one person.
Who are you giving it to?
You know what?
I'm trying to add mine up right now while I'm sitting here
because I never added it up.
I just did it round by round.
Some of them were really hard for me, though, to decide.
Yeah, I thought it was a battle of two heavyweights,
two gods. I thought it was, you know, two
brothers who got all their infinity stones.
And if I'm being totally objective,
because, you know, I'm an Uptown Records, Teddy Riley
type of guy. If I'm being totally
objective, I don't think anybody won.
I'm being honest. I don't think anybody won. I think it was
too close to call. And I think with both those
brothers, it's a matter of preference. Now, there are
four rounds I clearly give Babyface. That was round 11, Jay-Z, City, and I think with both those brothers, it's a matter of preference. Now, there are four rounds I clearly give
Babyface. That was round 11,
Jay-Z, City, and Mine versus
Bobby Brown, Rock With You. Not even
close. That's Bobby Brown. Round
15, Deep versus Johnny
Gill, My, My, My. Not even close.
That's My, My, My. Round 16,
Red Light Special.
I forgot what song. What song?
They played Janet Jackson, I Get Lonely. Babyface got that one. I give that the Red Light Special. I forgot what song. He played Janet Jackson, I Get Lonely.
Babyface got that one.
I give that the Red Light Special.
Michael Jackson, Jam.
Superwoman got that.
No, no.
Round 19, I say I'll make love to you,
boys and men, over Michael Jackson, Dangerous.
Can't just give Jam over Superwoman like that.
People love Jam,
especially because they think of the movie Space Jam.
That was a lot of people's record.
I'm not your Superwoman. I didn't really like jam but not just i didn't i jam ain't my favorite record either but i'm just talking about impact of record
jam was a big but that's teddy's different record superwoman is way in my opinion by the way
and again like you said, it's opinion.
You know what I mean? So you can't tell anybody, no, that's wrong.
It really is just your opinion. Like what song
meant more to you? What song do you
think sounds better to you?
I could easily give the first
10 rounds to Teddy Riley.
If I'm leaning into what
my preference is. You can't do that.
Why not? SWV
right here versus Tony Jackson.
Can we talk?
I'm ready.
Do you know what he was playing against those records?
He played Keep Sweat, Make It Last Forever.
Johnny Kemp, Just Got Paid.
Foxy Brown, Get Me Home.
Guy, Piece of My Love.
That's what I said.
I think these rounds are too close to call.
I give it a split decision.
I don't see a clear-cut winner in this.
Why?
Even when you guys say Red Light Special beats I Get Lonely,
I used to love I Get Lonely.
See what I'm saying?
So that's a hard one for me, but I love both those songs.
But I Get Lonely, that was my joint.
But even if the majority was tied,
the ones that weren't tied was a clear landslide.
No. Blackstreet Deep versus Johnny Gil, My, My that weren't tied was a clear landslide. No.
Blackstreet Deep versus Johnny Gil, my, my, my.
That's a clear landslide.
Yeah, there's something that was a clear landslide.
There was only like maybe three.
Yeah, but then you can say that about Johnny Kim Just Got Paid versus The Whispers Rocksteady.
I love The Whispers Rocksteady, but I'll go with Johnny Kim Just Got Paid.
Right Hair versus Love Should Have Brought You Home.
You wouldn't lean towards Right Hair with that one?
Make It Last Forever by Keith Sweat versus Babyface Soon As I Get Home?
You're making me high versus Rum Shaker.
How do you even put those against each other?
That's what I'm saying.
Some of those are tied.
I wouldn't say Rum Shaker.
Some of those are tied, though.
Some of those are tied, but the ones that weren't tied, I just give it to Babyface.
But let's go to the phone lines.
A lot of people on the lines.
800.
No, a lot of them was tied, but the ones that weren't, I land on the baby face.
Well, let's go to the corner.
I don't think anybody won.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, Envy.
Yee.
Show me the guy.
What's good?
It's Keith from Albany.
Keith, what's up, brother?
Keith from Albany.
What's happening?
What's good with y'all, man?
I know we talking about the battle.
We talking about the battle, so I want to give my opinion,
but something else just happened, man, that I really need help with.
Well, we only got time for one thing, sir.
Oh, man.
Well, I'm stuck in my girl bedroom right now because the ex-boyfriend is knocking on the window with rocks.
Oh, my gosh.
We talking about this battle right now.
Easy, easy, easy call.
It was a landslide with babyface.
We already noticed.
But hold on, what's going on?
So what are you going to do?
You're going to just stay there and hide?
She just went to the gym.
I'm wondering if I should go out and fight this dude.
It depends how you look.
Does he look like he worked out a lot?
When's the last time you've been in the gym?
When's the last time you've been in the scuffle?
Sir, you are self-quarantining right now?
This quarantine got me a little fat right now.
He just came home like last year.
Tell him you
got corona, bro. Don't do it.
Tell him you got corona.
Tell him you got corona. Start coughing, bro.
Yes, man.
Cough and run. There's no way.
He just came home. You better not mess with him.
Sir, you're laying on the couch. You haven't
been working out or doing anything and he just got home. What you better not mess with him. Sir, you're laying on the couch. You haven't been working out or doing anything, and he just got home.
What kind of Tuesday is this?
I need to know why you think Babyface wanted a landslide, though.
Landslide?
Come on.
Why y'all be disrespectful for no reason?
Listen, man, Sharla, you just got to accept the fate, man.
The only person who could beat Baby is Quincy Jones.
No, the only person that could beat Babyface is in jail right now for touching girls.
That's the only person
that would be a close battle
with Babyface, all Kelly.
There's no way you can look
at this list
and say this is a landslide.
Like, that's just stupid.
That's just stupid commentary.
I wouldn't say landslide,
but I say Babyface won.
But let's go to the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
We'll take your call some more.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I know it now. I know I'm late. I know I It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
That Kano thing, you know what that is?
Call me.
And your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about the battle last night.
Babyface versus Teddy Riley.
You know, I'm not going to front. It was a great battle.
I had a great time last night.
Let's go to the phones, see what you guys thought.
800-585-1051.
Hello, who's this?
Adrena.
What did you think, Adrena?
It wasn't a landslide, but Teddy Riley took it.
You think Teddy Riley took it?
Okay, there you go, Teddy Riley.
I'm scoring mine right now, so let me see.
Definitely.
Babyface had the music that makes you want to have a baby, make love.
Teddy Riley had the music that you want to make love, you want to get it in,
you want to get up and get jamming, and you want to go back and get
it in again. Okay. Yeah, I mean
Teddy can do both, you know what I'm saying?
Like, Teddy's the guy. You need both of them, right?
Because Teddy got the records that you listen to in the club
and on the way home, but then when you get home, you might
throw on some Babyface, but you might throw on some Teddy
too, because you're putting on some Peace of My Love,
you're putting on some Let's Chill.
You definitely are. You're putting on Make It Last
Forever. Are there any songs
You thought should have been played
That didn't get played?
Hell yeah
End of the road
Teddy's Jam
The Keith Sweat joint
I'll give all my love to you
I also heard that
They were supposed to do
You need me baby
They were supposed to do 30
Somebody told me
They were supposed to do 30 each
That was going to be like a surprise that they were going to each do 30
I don't know how true that is
I don't think Babyface got the patience
To sit there for 30 songs with Teddy Riley
This is such a clash of styles
You got a very patient person in Babyface
And you got somebody who clearly has ADD
In Teddy Riley
It was such a clash of styles
How do you go to show versus two occasions?
You can't score that, man.
That's a tie.
Let's go to the phones.
Hello, who's this?
Laryn.
Hey, Laryn.
Hi, Laryn.
Did you watch the battle last night?
Did you see the battle?
Yeah.
Who'd you think won?
Babyface by a landslide.
When is this landslide?
Now, even if you think Babyface won, tell me how by a landslide.
I mean, Babyface just had a better mood with the music.
Teddy Bradley had a nice range, but Babyface's mood was better.
But when y'all say landslide, that means 15 to 5, 18 to 2, 17 to 3.
See, I'm trying to do my score right now,
and I have so far Teddy 5, Babyface 3 for the first eight.
I'm trying to finish it.
All right.
Well, thank you, Mama.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what up, Dottie?
Hey.
Hey, what's up, bro?
What's up, D.
Teddy Riley, Babyface.
Who you think won that battle last night?
Man, can I first say I was thoroughly entertained,
and I'm going to say it was really too close to card.
And then they had some technology issues trying to get the hashtag pinned
and whatnot so that was that was hilarious but Teddy Riley he had a lot
of songs that I didn't know he produced like the show and you know a couple
other ones with babyface he does he was in his bag all night with ballads yeah
yeah he was a lot funnier than I thought, man.
Babyface, he had some comical moments.
He did.
Very sarcastic.
So who would you give it to, brother?
Man, I'm going to say again, I'm going to give it to Teddy
just because I didn't think he had all that in his bag.
Like the Michael Jackson connection was real dope
when he came with some stuff with Babyface.
I mean, you know, he can't really beat himself.
But I'm going to say Teddy Riley, me perfect. Okay. Thank you,
brother. Hello, who's this?
Good morning. It's Kia. Hey,
Kia. Good morning. Good morning.
Who do you think won that battle last
night? Babyface, Teddy Riley?
Well, first of all, I think
we all won just to be able to
watch history. Absolutely. You
get it back.
Absolutely.
But technically speaking, if I had to choose,
I personally like Babyface catalog better.
So I would go with Babyface.
And his shade is like phenomenal.
See, that's why I said it's a matter of preference. I think the battle was too close to call.
I don't think anybody necessarily won.
I just think it's a matter of preference.
You know what, too?
Thank you for calling.
It's also age, too.
And the reason I say age is because, you know,
if your parents weren't playing a lot of these records
and you're a little younger,
you might not know a lot of the Babyface records.
But you definitely know a lot of the Teddy Riley records.
Man, my daddy sniffed mad cocaine to Babyface records.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that was a different era.
I mean, that was the cleaning music at my house.
This is how tough it is.
I just did my scorecard, and I have it at two of the songs were a tie,
and I have nine for Teddy and nine for Babyface.
Yeah, I've seen that scorecard.
Billboard had a good scorecard.
Billboard had, I don't know how they got 25 songs, though.
No, they had more than 25.
They had, like, 13, 10, 2.
I'm like, what records are they listening to?
My goodness.
All right.
Well, 800-585-1051.
We're talking this
Babyface-Teddy Riley
competition battle
last night.
Who do you think won?
Call us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's Topic Time.
Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Last night was an epic battle, an epic competition.
I loved it so much.
Babyface and Teddy Riley.
And it was just an amazing
competition just to hear some of those songs.
And I was telling my wife
last night when I was watching, I said, it's crazy
the people that you grow up listening
to and grow up loving that you can actually
speak to them. And that's with Teddy Riley.
I've done so much with Teddy Riley in Virginia.
It's just amazing to see both of them.
And they were both geniuses last night.
And the stuff that they created and made.
The thing I don't like about the battle, because I think the battle was too close to call,
what I hate is people bringing other antics to judge a battle.
I'm talking about homegirl Kendra last night, Kendra G.
I'm like, Kendra, what do you think about it?
She was like, babyface won.
I said, why?
Because Teddy wouldn't keep still, and he would get up doing Babyface's songs,
and his sound was messed up, and his Wi-Fi was messed up.
What that got to do with the music?
And I think a lot of people do that.
I think a lot of people look at the memes and all of that stuff like that.
I'm just talking about strictly music.
That battle's too close to call, man.
Yeah, well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
What's happening?
This is Avery Washington.
How you doing?
What's up, Avery?
Talking about it last night.
Who did you give it to? Man, Avery? Talking to Battle last night. Who'd you give it to?
Man, I ain't gonna lie to you.
After listening to Teddy,
I went ahead and downloaded his album, bro.
Okay, so Teddy.
Which one?
I'm gonna go with Teddy.
Teddy got a bunch of albums.
It got the word guy written in color.
I don't remember.
My brother.
I'll fight you right now.
I'll come through this room and fight you.
You don't want your Uncle Charlie to come through this room And fight you You don't You want your uncle Charlotte
To come through this room
And fight you
That's the name of the group
It's a history lesson
It's a history lesson
How old are you?
Hey bro
I'm 47
Oh you should know that man
You're 47
Hang up on that man
You're older than me
Hang up on that man
What are you talking about
47
Come on man
I'm sorry
It's the one that got the name
Guy on the colors
No no no
That's Guy man Goodness gracious Oh, man, it's the one that got the name Guy on the colors. No, no, no.
That's Guy, man.
Goodness gracious. I think the album was called Guy also, though.
Yeah.
We should have known it was Guy.
That's not Teddy Riley's album, but let's go to another caller.
Hello, who's this?
Havig from Mobile, Alabama.
Havig, we were talking about this battle last night.
Who would you give it to?
I'd give it to Babyface off the rip. Why? Because I'm an R&B right, V, we were talking about this battle last night. Who would you give it to? I'd give it to Babyface off the rip.
Why? Because I'm an R&B cat,
man, and Babyface used to help people
out and make love. Teddy, too, though.
Teddy got some joints.
He did.
He has his own personal connection.
Okay. All right. Thank you, brother.
Hello, who's this?
It's V. V, what's up, bro? We're talking
Babyface, Teddy Riley. Who'd you give the win up, bro? We're talking baby face Teddy Riley.
Who'd you give the win to last night?
I gave the win to baby face.
Why?
He had the best hits.
So you got him.
I don't see how people can say that with such confidence.
That what?
He got the best hits?
Like, just say that so nationally, like, Teddy wasn't playing hits?
No, that's...
Now, see, I would say this, right?
Like, both of them are geniuses.
It also is in what record you play.
Because there's a lot of records that I don't think Teddy should have played.
Like, I don't think he should have played the joint with Hov.
I don't think so either.
I don't think he should have played Hov.
I don't think he should have played Blackstreet Deep.
Blackstreet Deep, no.
Especially against Ma Ma Ma.
No.
He should have played, instead of Blackstreet Deep, he should have played
Don't leave
Don't leave me girl
Yeah for sure
Please stay with me
Tonight
Yeah you're right
But you know
It's one of those things
They pick their own order
On the records they like
You know
So both of them
Have catalogs
Both of them are just great
And it was just great
To see the battle
And I congratulate
Both Teddy Riley
And Babyface For a long career And everything that they don't could you just imagine those
publishing checks that still come in all the time from teddy riley's michael jackson to everything
that babyface does that's that's just you imagine what type of babyface is that's what that's what
really shocked me about this whole battle babyface is an old sneaky player yes he is babyface the
type to walk he the type to walk up
to you in the street and be like, what's up, young
man? How your mama doing? Knowing damn
well you know how my mama doing because you see her
every other night. Yes. All right, I know your type,
Babyface. Babyface is the type to keep
your mama's refrigerator full of groceries.
I like that. He's very snarky.
Very. He's a little devil you.
I'm telling you, he'll pull out a straight razor on you too now. He's straight switchblade in that burgundy velvet jacket. I'm telling you He'll pull out a straight razor
On you too now
He straight switchblade
In that burgundy velvet jacket
I'm telling you right now
Babyface the old player
Who laughs at your young ass
Because you was in the club
Buying some young girl
Drinks all night
And then he pull up
In the caddy
At the end of the night
And the young girl
Jump in with him
And he just looks at you
And said
Tell your parents
I said hi young man
And drives off
He a little sneaky one
But it was good
It was definitely I loved loved it, man.
Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee.
What are we talking about?
Yes, let's talk about squash and beef.
This person has already squashed some beef,
and now he's planning to squash a big one.
All right, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
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. Yes, so Timbaland and Swizz,
after the amazing battle between Babyface and Teddy Riley,
the verses that they had last night,
they're getting ready for what they think could be the next big battle,
and look at who they called on.
Dr. Dre, I need him to know that we need him and P. Diddy.
We need that.
Pay-per-view for the COVID.
Let's bring the two kings in and give back to the people.
Diddy and Dre, what do y'all think?
I would love to see that.
I mean, yeah, it would be entertaining,
but you'd face the same thing that you would face with like
Teddy and Babyface like it's such a difference
in styles you know what I mean
like Dr. Dre don't have the R&B catalog
that Diddy
has so what happens when Diddy plays
Toto Can't You See but then Dr. Dre
plays Gin and Juice you know what I mean
but then you got Dr. Dre can go from
the NWA Diddy can go to Uptown
but that's leaning more R&B.
Then then he got the Death Row, the Aftermath, you know, the 50 Cent, Eminem.
Like it's a lot, but it's just like, I don't know.
It's just a weird clash in styles.
But it'd be good though.
And I just wonder how they would do it.
Is it everything Bad Boy?
So does that mean everything under the Bad Boy umbrella,
whether he produced it or not?
Or is it just records he produced?
You know, but I would love to see if they can figure it out.
I would love to see that.
Yeah. And I think it's evenly matched because, you know, I mean,
it's well documented that, you know, both of them, they produced by committee.
You know, Dr. Dre has a lot of people in the studio with him,
whether it's Scott Storch, Mailman, Daz, Diddy has the Hitman, you know?
So I think that's a good match
But it just seemed like such a clash in styles
Like I don't know what are you doing Diddy plays Faith Evans
And then Dre plays Tupac
Like oh that would be kind of wild too
See you're starting trouble
Why would you do that
I didn't I just thought about it when I said it
Well okay so also just so you know
They are going to have a ladies edition of Versus
Coming soon so I'm waiting on that because I want to see some women representing.
So I hope that'll happen.
And it could be a woman against a man.
It don't have to be a woman against women.
But I do want to see that.
All right, now.
Mary J. Blige versus anybody.
I bet none of y'all Negroes want it with Mary J. Blige.
How about that?
Mariah Carey.
Mariah Carey.
Yo, Mariah cool.
But I'm talking about Mary versus any n***a, any woman.
You got a penis or vagina, step up to Mary.
I bet you don't got the b***h.
Nobody got that catalog.
Mary, come on now.
Dwayne Johnson and Issa Rae are going to be executive producing
a scripted backyard wrestling series for HBO together.
So that could be interesting.
It's going to be a half-hour series that centers around the creation of a backyard wrestling league. Sound compelling to you?
It sounds like it could be funny.
I love Issa, but no.
All right. And Wiz Khalifa, you know, he put out a new EP for Smoke Day, as y'all know, because yesterday was 420. Hope you guys had an amazing 420 yesterday.
So he also did a 20-minute
DJ set on Weedmaps Hire
Together Sessions From Home
live streamed event as well. So
make sure y'all listen to
Wiz's new project. Okay.
Because nobody better to smoke to
than Wiz. And Alex
Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez,
it looks like they're taking steps to buy the New York Mets.
That's really exciting.
That'd be great.
Wow.
Yeah.
So they had emerged as a potential suitor to purchase that team.
Two months ago, the Post first reported that.
And now it looks like they are taking those steps to make that happen.
Doesn't J-Lo own a piece of the Dolphins now?
Her and Marc Anthony?
Or am I tripping?
I'm not sure
Yeah, I'm not sure about that
But, you know, I think that would make a lot of people want to go to the Mets games too, don't you think?
Well, Mets are doing actually good right now
But, you know
That's still good marketing
I mean, the MLB in general
Absolutely
You know, they wanted to get their marketing up
So I think that would be amazing for the Mets
How are the Mets doing good right now?
Well, they were lashing.
They were lashing.
Because Mets stank it up for the last couple of years.
He said the team is doing good now.
The team is doing pretty good now.
The team has a lot of great players right now.
So the team is looking good.
All right.
French Montana is planning to squash his beef with 50 Cent.
Now, first he talked about squashing his beef with Jim Jones.
It started because of Max B.
You know what I'm saying?
Max B being my best friend.
And when you have a friend like that, you take on their problems. So we was reminiscing on times
that we ran down on each other. We was reminiscing on times that, you know, we caught each other
slipping. It was just nothing but laughs and war stories. And then he talked to Speedy Mormon from
Complex about potentially him and 50 squashing their beef.
It's happening in about a week or two.
And I'm just gonna go and talk,
talk about, you know,
talk about what the people want to see.
Let's break the internet again.
Frank, be honest though.
How much of that stuff was real
versus how much of it was you guys
just kind of, you know,
messing around with each other?
I feel like with me and 50,
it was when you go watch a wrestling match, when you go watch a boxing match, when you go, it's like it's competition.
Don't you love to see it?
I do.
I actually do.
The reason I love to see it because all of those guys are violent and like it can lead to violence.
I mean, you know what I'm saying?
So the people around them, the people around them are violent.
So, yes, I do like to see that because that can go either way.
And I'd rather see them be peaceful, man.
Everybody got time to be beefing?
For what, man?
Well, it doesn't look like Ja Rule and 50 Cent will squash their beef anytime soon.
Ja Rule was talking to Kenny Burns.
And here's what he said about why they can't do a versus battle.
It only really, like, one was a little bit sideways.
But all of the rest of the battle's been, yo, I respect.
And that's the way Swiss and them want it.
So me and this, you know what that's going to be.
You can only deal with him one way.
And that's why I said it can't be done.
Because you've got to talk dirty to that.
There's no way I can sit across and we can be casual, cordial.
Because he won't do it.
If he would do it, I'm cool.
I don't have a problem with that.
First of all, we got to keep reminding people
they fist fought Ja Rule and 50 Cent.
There was a stabbing.
There was a shooting.
There was a shooting.
Like they're never going to like each other.
And they stopped trying to make them like each other.
This isn't just some typical Instagram beef. These guys shot each other, stabbed each other, fought each other and they stop trying to make them like each other this isn't just some typical instagram beef these guys shot each other stabbed each other fought each other it's on for life with
them okay i would love to see them go back and forth on that battle though it would be entertaining
so much though i ain't gonna be happy they're not fighting each other on site they was on a plane
a couple years ago nothing happened just be happy they're not jumping on each other be happy it's
just about memes and laughs right now.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
I would love to see them go back and forth on IG, though,
just for one good time, just record for record.
No, you wouldn't.
Just go back and talk.
It's too personal.
It's too personal.
It's nice to see Babyface and Teddy who get along with each other,
clearly respect each other.
I don't think that would go well.
Yeah, you're right.
Exactly.
They tried to kill each other. Come on, man. But they can't kill each other through the phone. They. I don't think that would go well. Yeah, you're right. Exactly. They tried to kill each other.
Come on, man.
But they can't kill each other through the phone.
They just got, you know, just be too personal.
It don't matter.
It's too personal.
We're not doing this for your entertainment.
We're not doing this for your entertainment, man.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Well, who are you giving that donkey to, Charlamagne?
We need George Stephanopoulos from Good Morning America
to come to the front of the conversation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
He's very socially irresponsible, and he's exactly what a bunch of us dread
and fear during this COVID-19 global pandemic.
We'll talk about it.
All right.
We'll get to that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest on the line right now. Michael Rubin.
Welcome back, sir.
Good to be here.
Glad to see you in person, but good to see everybody on Zoom.
The only thing that benefits The Breakfast Club of being on quarantine is, you know,
we don't have to wear Philly 76s gear once a week.
Nobody said you didn't have to.
I don't have any more.
I don't have none at the house.
Right.
I saw you.
I thought right away you were violating the spirit of our agreement.
You should be in sixes merchandise every day. I saw you and I thought right away you were violating the spirit of our agreement. You should be in Sixers merchandise every day.
I know right away I was giving you a pass because of the very unusual times.
But I feel taken advantage of and I expect you guys to be in Sixers merchandise every day, including you, Angela.
I wasn't there when you guys made that deal.
Oh, now you weren't there.
We're a team.
Teams stick together. Like, no, you weren't there. We're a team. Teams stick together.
Like, teams stick together.
So, you know, if your team makes a decision,
you got to be with them for better or worse times.
You know, you're a phenomenal instructor.
That is not true.
I saw the last dance last night.
Scottie Pippen was ready to go, god damn it.
Okay?
He wasn't getting paid what he was supposed to.
Did you see that last night, Michael Rubin?
I didn't watch that.
I'm going to watch it today during my workout.
I'm excited to watch it.
I heard it was spectacular.
Everyone was texting me about it.
So, it's awesome.
You hate other teams that much that you can't even watch something in historical context, Michael?
I'm going to watch it today as soon as I go do my workout.
I was working on the all-in challenge last night night calling people, pushing like crazy, which I've
been doing 20 hours a day.
Alright, good point. Yeah, I saw you
on CNN yesterday with Kevin Hart talking
about the All In Challenge.
Yeah, well, you go with Kevin, everything always goes smooth.
I called Kevin and said, Kevin, I've got this idea.
I want to do this All In Challenge
where we challenge every athlete, every celebrity,
every artist to go all in with some incredible
experience and have all that, all these items and experiences auctioned off where we challenge every athlete, every celebrity, every artist to go all in with some incredible experience
and have all these items and experiences auctioned off
and have all the money go to different charities around,
you know, feeding people.
Called Kevin, called Meek.
They ruined my two first phone calls.
And Meek said, I love this.
I'm donating my Rolls Royce Phantom.
I was like, that's pretty cool.
And then Kevin said
he's going to make
somebody a movie star.
So without those
two first phone calls,
it probably wouldn't be
an all-in challenge.
I see that Rolls-Royce Phantom
current bid is at $320,000
so far for the all-in challenge.
And I see the number one
so far right now
is for $775,000.
And that is for a game jersey
and dinner with Tom Brady
and a Tampa Bay home opener.
That's a huge deal.
It is.
And the great thing about what we did with this
is the original idea was to get each artist,
a celebrity or athlete to take an incredible item,
an incredible experience and us auction off.
Then we said the problem with that is
we want to get the whole world participating in this.
So then we created these sweepstakes
where people could just donate as little as $10 or $25 for the chance to win an incredible experience.
So Kevin Hart's movie is an example.
You donate $10 or $25 for the chance to be in his next movie.
You know, everyone, millions of people donate $10 or $25 if they can afford to do that.
What was the most surprising thing you've seen somebody give away so far?
I'd say the most surprising call,
honestly, and they were my first two calls,
my most surprising call was me, because my original
idea was to do it only with athletes.
When I called me, 10 minutes after the idea popped
in my head, I said, hey, what do you think about this idea
of doing it with athletes? He said, yeah, but why wouldn't
you do it with artists and celebrities? You'd be so much bigger.
Right. I said, it's a good
idea. He said, okay, well, I'm going to go
on. I said, great. And I thought he said, I'm going to donate a, well, I'm going to go on. I said, great.
And I thought he was going to say, I'm going to donate a watch or I'm going to go to someone's house and do a concert.
He said, you know what?
I bought this Rosewood Span two years ago.
I'm like, I don't feel like it's appropriate to have it anymore.
I'd rather help feed kids with it.
That was probably the most surprising.
I think having Tom Brady's – so Tom Brady having a $775,000 bid, it shows how much people want to help.
It was incredibly valuable, the jersey and his shoes for his first game in Tampa Bay.
And to go to dinner and work out with him afterward.
It's interesting to see so many people say they want to help make a difference.
I was telling you guys, Yo Gotti came up with his tour bus.
That was dope.
So there's been some pretty incredible things people have done.
And I know people are,
a lot of people call me to say,
here's what I'm doing.
What do you think?
There's so many amazing things that have already come.
And so many amazing things more to come.
We've already had like,
I think 160 people,
six days into this have already gone all in.
And these are generally a list,
you know,
celebrities and athletes.
So it's been
incredible so far but i think we're maybe 10 of the way into it so far and where's this money
going because i saw kevin put a million dollars like yesterday when y'all was on cnn kevin was
like look i got a million dollars on top of what i already gave where is this money going exactly
yeah it's one of the four leading um kind of so first all, the thought process here was there's so many people
that are going hungry from this pandemic,
whether it's kids used to go to school
and count on that meal at school,
and now they don't have that meal,
whether it's the elderly that were counting on meals
being dropped off, or to be honest,
the tens of millions of people
that have recently become unemployed,
so 100% of the money received
is all going to different food organizations,
organizations like World Central Kitchen, Feeding America, No Kid Free. So it's the four leading
food organizations. I see you raised over $13 million so far. So that's a pretty amazing thing
in just a few days to have raised. Do you have a goal or is it just okay when everything's auctioned
off, that's it? Yeah, so no, we have a a bold goal so we were trying to not let the goal get out but we sent the deck out to
people telling them as they were kind of as we're getting people excited about going on the goal
the goal we put our deck was 100 million dollars the largest digital fundraiser ever was 58 million
dollars so our goal is to raise 100 million dollars and i want to meet or exceed that goal
um you know for me the great thing thing is you really have the best actors,
artists, and athletes in the world coming together to help defeat people.
And to me, that's exciting because we're all kind of joining together.
Now, I wanted to ask a question.
We talked about the Michael Jordan, the Last Dance documentary,
and one of the things that everybody's talking about was Scottie Pippen
and the fact that he signed a bad, well, I wouldn't say a bad deal,
but a low deal, and of course his worth went up.
Seven-year deal he did.
If you guys did a deal with a player like that
and you knew that his worth was up,
do you think it would be smart to renegotiate early
because you want that player to feel happy
and you want him to be happy where he's playing?
Or is it one of those things, hey, you signed a contract, you're on your own?
At the end of the day, if you want to have the incredible talent,
you probably can't pay everyone the maximum that they're worth.
So it's really a question if you have people
that say, hey, I'm more interested in winning championships
than I am in maximizing my contract.
And everyone's different, by the way. Some players are going to say,
hey, look, I really care about the money
and I want to maximize that. And they're
right for feeling that way. And other people say,
hey, you know what, I care more about collecting rings.
I'd say, think about, as an example, Patrick Mahomes.
You know what he made this past season?
How much?
Less than a million dollars.
Wow.
That's not a good example, though, Michael.
It's only on his second year.
Here's my point.
When he does, when he gets his $30 million-plus contract per year,
the rest of the team's going to have less money to spend.
That's my point.
At the end of the day, you still have a cap.
So one of the real advantages
is if you're going to get an incredible rookie
who makes a huge difference under a rookie deal,
that's helping to make the rest of the team better.
But I think it will be difficult for the
Chiefs to be as good when you have
Patrick that's currently making a million dollars, making
$30 million plus a year. That was my point.
All right, we got more with Michael Rubin. 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 Michael Rubin.
Yee.
So, Michael, what would you like to see happen
for the rest of the NBA season
as people are trying to figure out
where are we going next?
Are we going to delay this?
Are we going to come back?
Are we going to play without an audience?
What do you think should happen?
Everyone is like, look, this world needs sports back as soon as possible.
The country needs sports back as soon as possible.
But you just can't do it until you can do it in a way that's safe for the players and their families.
Also do it in a way that's safe for fans.
So I do think if I had to give you my prediction, I think sports will come back without fans before they come back with fans.
I think that's a good thing because I think we're all watching, you know,
games from 10 years ago, and we're excited to watch these games.
So we're all craving for sports in our life.
So I don't think it's realistic.
I think right now it's going to be difficult until there's a vaccine
to kind of go back to status quo.
I can tell you one interesting little stat.
So I looked yesterday.
So Fanatic started selling licensed masks in the NBA only with all the proceeds going to charity on Friday.
The amount of people buying these masks, we've had 80,000 people buy masks in three days.
So I think the new norm between now and when the vaccine comes is half the country, three-quarters of the country is going to be walking around with a mask outside.
And so I don't think things are getting back to normal
until you have a vaccine.
And I think that we need sports in our lives.
You've got to find a way to get sports back as quickly
as you can do it in a safe way.
But I think you're trying to tie it to needing to have fans there
would make it take longer to get sports back.
Michael, what about players?
Because I saw C.J. McCollum say that players,
he said like a large majority of the NBA is living check to check.
What would y'all do for players if players were having financial problems?
Yeah, so first, I got to tell you, it's a very,
the first thing is it's a very mixed issue for how players feel.
I mean, you hear players in all sports.
You set basketball aside right now.
You hear players in all sports have a very divided opinion of what they want to do.
I mean, I've talked to stars in the NFL, stars in each of the different leagues,
and some people are like, hey, look, I'm X, I'm going to get back right away,
and others are just like, I don't want to leave my family.
And so that's a little bit of a complicated issue to start with
because you'd want it to be something where there is a lot of unity
and there's not today.
As it relates to players, look, you know,
because of my ownership in the Sixers, the league has always, you know,
it's best for the league to speak about anything between what's happening
with the league and the players.
Gotcha.
And I just want to talk about what Drake is giving away, by the way,
for the All-In Challenge.
Let's discuss that because that is like a really amazing prize
to be able to do all of those things.
So can you break that down, what Drake is offering?
Yeah, Drake is amazing.
So Drake's playing, and I'm sure a lot of people have seen videos of it.
His playing is, you know, I've seen a lot of nice plays.
His playing is pretty spectacular.
He's got a 767 that's outfitted in the coolest of ways.
And Drake is going to have people.
He's going to basically have his plane bring you to California, to L.A.,
to party with him for the weekend.
So you're going to get to go on-air Drake.
You're going to get to party with him for the weekend.
And he's been great about this.
As soon as I told him the idea he's like I love this I want
to help people let me call for something crazy that's dope oh my god I love I love everything
you're doing with the all-in challenge I've been seeing you on different outlets saw you on CNN
MSNBC I'm looking at you now and it's one thing bothering me there's something behind you that
says pancake learns the alphabet what the hell is that okay Okay, so that's very good awareness. My girlfriend is going to be thrilled that you actually
picked that up.
She's telling me it's in the videos.
So first, my friends,
I have a group of friends that we all banter
with each other. So everyone always calls me Pancake
because I'm weighing like 200 pounds
versus 170 I should.
So I've been nicknamed Pancake
just as people making fun of me for being out of
shape and pudgy these days.
And the true story, and I actually did this once on Instagram.
People thought I was drunk and messed up in the head, which I was not at the time, at least.
I literally never learned the alphabet.
Like, I knew it as a kid, and then I forgot I can't do the alphabet.
So it's a big joke that goes around.
So when people ask me to do the alphabet, I literally get to, like, the middle of it, and then I just don't know the rest of it.
What do you mean?
Let's try this now.
You're telling me that you're a fucking billionaire who doesn't know the alphabet?
Let's try this now.
Hold on.
I swear on everything I have, I cannot get through the alphabet.
And I will do it for you just to demonstrate that anything is possible,
and you can be as dumb as I am and still be successful. All right, let's do it. Go. I'm going to do it in sign language while you do it for you just to demonstrate that anything is possible. And you can be as dumb as I am.
You'll be successful.
All right, let's do it.
Go.
I'm going to do it in sign language while you do it.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, O, Q, R, S, T.
Oh, my God.
He's right.
And so I basically, so my girlfriend made me fall for making fun of me.
And I'm also trying to teach the alphabet.
Of course, I thought it was cute, and I said it out there,
but I've never actually studied the book,
and I'm refusing to learn it now because I think it's a great message that you can actually not know the alphabet, which I truly don't.
I did this on Instagram when I first went on.
My friends were like, sing the alphabet.
Everyone always makes fun of me because everyone knows I don't know the alphabet.
And I'm like, I don't need to learn the new alphabet.
You know, I put my mind into doing it.
It's not a new alphabet.
It's not a new alphabet.
It's not a new alphabet.
It's been around.
Yeah, it's not like, I mean, listen.
When I was a six-year-old kid, I was working,
and I was like, I was selling stuff and working at my ski shops.
And I just, like, I got caught up in business.
And, you know, I kind of left that part of my life.
But I actually think there's a good message there.
Because you know what?
If I can literally barely make it out of high school, I didn't go to college.
I really don't know the alphabet.
And there's so many things about my brain that are so screwed up.
But, hey, you know, we can come up with an idea like the All-In Challenge
has started.
And you got to use your strengths and what you're good at and then put aside
what you're bad at and just build a team around you.
That's the way I've built my whole life.
Your nickname is Pancake?
He just explained it.
I mean, I have a couple friends.
By the way, one of the guys I started the All-In Challenge with,
so one of my best friends is Alan Tish,
and he's actually a person who named me Pancake.
We were in Vegas one weekend, and I, like, maybe had a few too many drinks,
and I passed out with my pal self, and they looked at me,
and they said I looked like a big pancake.
That's how I got named Pancake.
And now everyone likes it.
So Pancake, I think, has gone pretty far.
Michael, from now on, when I see you
with rappers, that's your nickname.
Pancake. Whenever I see you with Meek Mill,
Jay-Z, I'm going to say,
there go Pancake.
That's your nickname.
You can pour some syrup on him. Pancake's definitely the top five to respond there go Pancake. No, you're not. That's your nickname. You can pour some syrup on him.
Pancake's definitely the top five to respond to.
My goodness.
Well, Michael, we appreciate you for checking in,
and thank you for all that you're doing, bro.
We really appreciate you.
We do.
Yes, thank you, Pancake.
I look forward to being back in the studio with you as soon as we can.
Hopefully it's sooner than we're all thinking,
but I can't wait until we can all be together again.
Absolutely.
All right.
It's Michael Rubin. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
She's spilling the tea. This is
The Rumor Report with Angela Yee
on The Breakfast Club.
Well, R. Kelly is trying
to get out of jail during coronavirus
and at first, prosecutors have said that he has the means to escape the country.
He's already made more than $200,000 in royalties just this year.
But his lawyers are arguing that he owes almost $2 million to the IRS, so he has no flight risk at all.
Now, he does fall into the vulnerable group to contract COVID-19 while behind bars.
So according to his lawyers, things have gotten
exponentially worse. As a matter of
fact, just an hour ago, Bossett put up
an exclusive saying that an inmate
tested positive on R. Kelly's jail floor
and right now the facility is in
the grips of a serious outbreak.
What do y'all think?
I think that what R. Kelly has
to be looked at as a
violent sexual predator.
I agree.
Some people shouldn't leave you a murderer.
If you're a violent and if you're a pedophile, yeah, you got to sit.
Yeah, I can't.
You think he's a flight risk also?
No, I don't think he's a flight risk because I don't think he has the money to be a flight risk.
But I'm just saying it's like, yo, at the end of the day, you're an inmate.
And it's a lot of other inmates
who are in there for non-violent
petty offenses. They should be
let go. Not R. Kelly.
He's in the back of the line.
Non-violent,
non-sexual offenders. So,
I don't know if he fits that bill at all. He
definitely doesn't, clearly. Alright, Mark
Wahlberg has hinted at another collaboration
with Jordan brand.
He said there may be something else in the pipeline.
So he showed off his own Air Jordan 4 Wahlberg sneakers.
They first were made in 2018.
They were never sold in stores.
He said he only has two pairs left.
I wonder how much that's worth.
Last time I checked, they were like $12,000, if I believe.
But I'm glad Mia and Mark are pretty cool right now. So Mark, if you're
listening, I'm a size 10.
I'm a size 10.
I would think that a lot
of Jordans will appreciate and value because
it is documentary over the next five weeks, right? I would think
the stock on Jordans would shoot up. Don't you think?
Yeah, the only bad thing about Jordans
and yes they will, is a lot of the old ones, they
fall apart. They turn yellow. So
with those sneakers, if you hold them for a long time,
it's not like basketball cards or
jerseys. It's not worth it.
Either you wear them or you sell them fast because they
will definitely... And they said you can't keep them in the cardboard
box, right? Didn't they say? Yeah, you can't keep them in the
cardboard box. That yellow that they have,
that turns it yellow.
It's difficult.
Alright, now let's discuss TV
during this quarantine. So it looks like they're trying
to plan a bachelor and quarantine spinoff. You know, right now they have either canceled or
postponed the bachelor shows because of coronavirus, but now executives are throwing around the title
bachelor and quarantined and they're trying to adapt to the times. And so what would that look
like? They said it wouldn't be as simple as just retooling things.
They've played around with a few different things
like getting some of the cast members in Mexico
to film in isolation, like 20 cast members.
The problem is that you can't have the crew out there.
So right now what they're trying to figure out
is people shooting their own content at home
if they can't physically be together.
So I don't know what those dates would look like.
But what I do know is that TLC is planning a show just like that.
It's called Find Love Live.
It's a new show that they said is going to be on their late night lineup.
And it's going to help single people find their future partner from the comfort of their
couch.
It was scheduled to start earlier this month.
And now they're saying it's going to be a remote production starting in May May 10th
okay they're gonna get this they'll get this TV money right now so all right and VH1 is launching
their new series to catch a beautician with Tamar Braxton and Johnny Wright so they just revealed
that's going to premiere Monday May 25th on VH1 with back-to-back episodes and Johnny Wright is
Michelle Obama's former hairstylist he'll be on the show with her also and it's a 20
episode series. They're going to come to the rescue of
clients whose hair has been botched
by a beautician from their past.
I'll watch that. I don't know if you guys will
but that sounds interesting to me.
Now Drake, that
tootsie slide is still going and that
dance challenge, I don't know if y'all saw
the video of the Masaka kids.
They're offeringans from Uganda.
Absolutely.
They're dancers.
They killed it.
And they posted their own rendition
and then Drake actually shared it
on his Instagram story
and it blew up in that manner also.
The kids' rendition already
was gaining traction on TikTok,
on Twitter and IG.
Drake noticed it, reached out,
asked if he could post it on his page
and then he did
and the kids were crying tears of joy at that gesture afterward.
And they spent the next day celebrating and all of that.
And they said a lot of people have reached out trying to figure out how they can donate,
donate clothes, donate other items.
They've gotten hundreds of dollars in donations.
And they've also gained more than 120,000 Instagram followers.
So that's a dope thing.
That is dope. All right. And they've also gained more than 120,000 Instagram followers. So that's a dope thing.
That is dope.
All right.
And Steven Jackson on his All the Smoke podcast tells a story about leaving his ex-fiance at the altar on the day of their wedding. So he's talking about everything that happened.
And it has to do with prenups.
Now, just to put it into perspective, he wanted to actually have his pastor do the wedding.
But she wanted to have the one that she chose.
And he had been trying to get her to sign this prenup.
She kept saying she would.
She kept putting it off.
And then here's what happened.
My nanny come back in there with a spook look on her face like she still ain't signed it.
I'm like, well, I ain't getting married then.
She was like, oh, and so look.
So the preacher says, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Don't make a drastic decision.
I think you should just let God handle it.
Me, as a pastor, I don't believe in prenups.
Now I know why she was fighting for you.
You don't believe in prenups.
I ain't getting married.
As that's going on, Steph Marbury grows crazy.
Hell nah.
Mike Bibby walks.
Are you serious, Steve?
F*** out of here.
So, wedding off.
Wow.
First of all, salute to Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes.
I love all the Smoke Podcasts.
One of my favorite podcasts to listen to right now.
Well, yeah, I feel Steven.
You got to go with your gut.
You got to go with your instinct.
I feel like that business should have been handled way before they got to that point.
But if he was trying to handle it and she didn't want to handle
it and she waited until they got to that point and he had a feeling in his stomach that something
wasn't right, I can't be mad at him for that. Yeah, she should have had her lawyer look at it
because a prenup is a contract. You can agree to whatever you want. And she could have, you know,
marked it up however she wanted. They could have negotiated before it happened and then it would
have been smooth, but it didn't
work out. And I can't fault him for that either
because if she would have said from the beginning
I'm not signing that, I'm not signing that, they could have
been had that conversation. I gotta go listen
to that podcast because I would like to know how he feels
about her now. Like does
he still love her? Does she still love him?
Like I would love to know what
happened after that situation. Alright, and
Travis Scott is headlining a Fortnite concert.
It's going to take place across several days this week.
It's going to be all over the world, kicking off in the Americas on April 23rd.
There's so many people on Fortnite who are also fans of Travis Scott.
So makes sense.
He'll also be debuting a brand new song.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee.
And that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, shout out to Revolt Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you,
Miss Yee. Now, shout out to Revolt. Revolt, we are back on television. So shout out to you guys.
We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Get your request
in. Let me know what you want to hear. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
on the line. I got a call a couple of days ago about a brother who's a doctor out in Florida
and wanted to talk about some of the things that was going on.
So shout out to Donovan, who used to cut my hair back in the day.
He put me on the line with him, and we have the brother on the phone lines right now.
Dr. Ashby.
Good morning, Dr. Bernard Ashby.
How's it going, brother?
Good morning.
Good morning.
How y'all doing?
How y'all doing? Thanks for having me. Peace, King. Peace, Dr. Bernard Ashby. How's it going, brother? Good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing? How y'all doing?
Thanks for having me.
Peace, King.
Peace, King.
Now, you ain't even want to talk because you got a mask on while you're talking to us through
Zoom, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, basically, the reason why I have the mask on is basically I'm trying to promote
Mike Matthew.
So, a couple of my friends and myself have the mask on challenge.
Essentially, we're just trying to encourage people to wear masks.
We want to normalize it.
So one of the asks that I have from all of you guys is to try to wear your mask,
sometimes online, possibly.
But basically, it's another opportunity to promote different brands,
black businesses, but also teach the community to wear their mask
because we're actually shifting from the lockdown phase to normalization.
And one of the parts
of normalization is wearing
everyday masks, especially if you're in
any closed space. Yo, I just told
my homegirl that because we was texting back and forth.
That is going to be the new normal.
I don't care how much you believe in God.
All right? You still got to
protect yourself. Absolutely.
And there's a lot of businesses that won't even let you
come inside without a mask on. So I
think that is a good
policy right now to enforce as well.
Yeah, and it's best to look at other countries.
I mean, a lot of the countries that have been
successful with this virus or who have
experienced similar viruses in the past
have worn masks. And there's
quite a few studies, one in particular that shows
mask use decreases the spread of the virus
by 70%. And with the disproportionate impact of the virus in our communities,
we need to take every precaution to decrease the spread of the virus.
And masks are just one example of doing that.
And it's easy to do.
And the mask does decrease you receiving the infection, does decrease the spread of big droplets.
The smaller aerosol droplets, not so much.
And that's what you need the N95 for.
But those are really needed for folks like us who are in the medical industry
when we're taking care of COVID patients.
NB, I see you. I see you.
Now, I wanted to ask about that.
Now, I understand that we got to protect you guys, right?
But now, when we go into Trader Joe's or Stop and Shop or BJ's or Costco,
and, you know, there's been cases where people in those places have contracted COVID-19.
So am I not supposed to wear one that I know will protect me and wear something that might not protect me?
Because, you know, like, so what do you tell those people?
Because people in those places have coronavirus.
Listen, man, you know, do what you need to do to protect yourself and your family.
That's what I tell people.
Now, you know, the hospital, you know, they need to do their job and protect us.
That's their job.
That's not your job.
So if you can get your hands on N95 masks, by all means, do that.
And let the hospitals and the big businesses worry about that.
Because, you know, they fumble the ball and they need to figure that out.
And honestly, you know, we're actually getting active for a lot more PPE.
But that's not your problem.
Where should we wear the mask?
Because I saw you had
yours on just now
in the building.
Like, do you take them off
when you get in the building
or do you,
when do you wear,
just outside?
Anytime you're in the building,
you should have your mask on.
And anytime you're going
to be in close proximity
with somebody,
meaning less than six feet,
you should definitely
have a mask on.
Now, can you reuse these masks?
I know a lot of people say some people say you can reuse them, and some people say you can't.
Can you reuse the masks?
Here's the issue now.
Basically, those masks are not supposed to be reusable, okay?
They're supposed to be really one-time use or, you know, one scenario use,
and you're supposed to dispose of it because the virus particles can get on the mask and actually contaminate it.
And so a big reason why folks are not really getting the benefit of the mask is that they then take the mask off, touch the virus, and then, you know, touch other things that still end up with the virus.
So essentially, the N95 masks are really supposed to be used when you're taking care of sick patients and you have a gown, gown gloves on and you take everything off and then you kind of throw it away and i just want to give a a particular um
dedicated time to glove wearing there's a lot of people out there wearing gloves not a good idea
because really spread the spread the virus and and you know a lot of folks you know they you
know they have their gloves on and they're doing things like using their phone and whatnot,
and actually the gloves spread the virus more efficiently than your hands do.
The virus actually sticks to your hands better, and so if you actually just wash your hands frequently,
that's a better way of avoiding the virus than wearing gloves.
The only time you should be wearing gloves is if you're taking care of somebody with the virus
or doing something specific like making you know, making food.
But use a glove, take them off, clean your hands.
I'm glad you said that because we've been using gloves to open packages.
I put on gloves like I'm going to the ATM machine today.
I'm wearing gloves.
Like you say, that's not a good idea.
No, not a good idea.
It's better just to keep your hands clean.
So have your Purell on T-Zec, all right?
Uh-huh.
And y'all swag these things out as well.
And you can make your own Purell at home with some aloe vera and some alcohol.
So, you know, we got to be, you know, we got to use continuity here.
And this is what I'm trying to communicate to our community, man.
Like one of the things that I've really noticed is that our government,
our leadership has failed us, and it's our time to step up
and really look out for each other.
So now I'm really trying to use this platform to promote the village mentality.
What have you been seeing out in emergency rooms in Florida?
How bad has it been?
How are people surviving?
And what can people do to make sure that their immune system is strong enough to fight this disease?
Yeah, thank you.
So Florida's getting hit.
Florida is expected to peak sometime in early May.
So it's happening here.
And as everyone saw, our governor, our leadership,
let everybody do their thing during spring break
and still go to the clubs and whatnot when the virus is here.
And the virus is here way back since the Super Bowl.
And you know how many people were here since the Super Bowl.
So that's a whole other issue.
But the point is that Florida did not do such a good job,
and that's what we're dealing with now.
In terms of what you can do to protect yourself and improve your immunity,
I mean, nothing replaces good lifestyle.
And that's a tough thing to ask somebody who's working 95, check to check,
you know, raising families.
It's easier to preach to people and tell them, you know, do better.
But, you know, anytime you, you know, move your body, you know,
exercise is incredibly important. And watch what you eat, but you, you know, move your body, you know, exercise is incredibly important.
And watch what you eat.
But preserve food, sugar, carbs, all that stuff.
You want to minimize it.
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
And I just kind of keep it there.
Well, Dr. Ashby, I got to push back on you a little bit because you know that the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
So you talking, you asking Florida to use logic and common sense.
Florida, Dr. Ashby, come on
my brother. You know better than that.
Speaking of Florida,
let me rock my gator mask.
You look like
you're ready to get profiled.
Yeah, I love it.
That's the real thing, man. And shout out to
my boy from Philly, DeMarco.
He basically, like, when I was
promoting the whole mask, he was like, listen, man, you're about to get people shot.
Because, you know, like, if they see a black brother rocking one of these masks, like, people are going to, you know, feel a certain way and want to actually, you know, do something to him.
And that's an example of structural racism, right?
That's something that I would never have to consider for my normal, everyday patients who are living in, you know, senior citizen communities.
But when I'm talking to, you know, young black men, black and brown men, they got to worry about things like racial profiling.
And if they wear a mask, people get scared. And so that's the real thing.
But at the end of the day, like I had to choose the public health concerns over the, you know, the racism of our country.
But that's the real thing. Well, Doc, we appreciate you
protecting the man. Yeah, and where do you buy the
masks from, Doc? Shout out to your
girl. What's the website for those masks you're showing?
So, Body by Val. You know, you
follow on Instagram. You know, she works
at Flo Rida and
did some work with Fubu, but, you know, she's
giving out a lot of these to a lot of
doctors, myself included, and
she just kind of hooked me up.
Well, doctor, thank you for checking in. I appreciate it, man.
And be safe out there, doc.
I appreciate you. Thanks so much. Thank you, Dr. Bernard Ashby.
All right. Well, shout out to Dr. Ashby
for joining us. If you want to see the full interview,
you can just hit up our YouTube page.
All right. When we come back, we have the positive notes.
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. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Shout out to Michael Rubin for joining us this morning.
Also, Dr. Ashby for stopping through and just telling us what's going on in Florida
and what we should be doing now, too.
I wanted to offer, like, we could have somebody come and be a guest host
on The Breakfast Club for their auction, but I was like, no one might not bid on that.
People would have bid on that, definitely. i remember i said that about a week ago we should do somebody co-host on the breakfast club i thought that'd
have been dope i thought that'd be really good if no one bids on it we got to do like the ten dollar one
oh you know what salute to um salute to dr ashby i actually posted uh I actually posted a bunch of young
black doctors, not just doctors, but people
in the healthcare workers.
They all did the mask on challenge.
My homegirl
Amber, salute to Amber, South Carolina's
own. She's
studying to be a psychiatrist and she sent
it to me and I just realized Dr.
Ashby started this challenge.
The mask on challenge.
You're trying to minimalize people wearing face masks.
Yeah, I thought you knew that.
I did not know. I posted it because my homegirl Amber
sent it to me. Salute to the homie Amber.
Amber and Dr. Ashby
and Dr. Ebony,
Dr. Julia Carter.
It's a bunch of them. It's just all black healthcare
workers and they all
doing the mask on challenge. Salute to them. It's just all black healthcare. Yeah, healthcare workers and they all doing the mask on challenge. So salute
to them. They're just trying to
and I think they said they're trying to
they're standing together to end the disparity.
That's what they're doing.
So it's a mask on campaign. It's an attempt to
help reach the younger generation to build awareness
and show solidarity in our community
by wearing the mask. So salute to all the
black healthcare workers participating
in that.
All right.
All right, well, you got a positive note for us?
Absolutely, man.
With this quarantine, this self-isolation is probably, you know,
showing you how peaceful your life is
when you don't have to be around
certain people, places, or things.
So I just want to tell you a quote
from Albert Einstein.
Stay away from negative people.
They have a problem for every solution.
Breakfast club, bitches!
Y'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?
Bullets.
