They spoke on how hard it is to get the group together, Bobby Brown movie and more. Also Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to a drunk driver that hit radio personality 'Big Boy', but what makes it even more crazy is that the drunk driver is a prosecutor!

The world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. What the hell is this, man? I'm glad they put y'all together. Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over The Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ and me. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday, and today is a very exciting day because Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike, I like the girl. Who cares who you like? That's right.

Turn to your mama. Turn to your aunt. Turn to your grandma. Maybe your great grandma in some cases, and tell them that Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike of New Edition, BBD, and Bobby Brown Solo Success will be here this morning. Yes. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't even feel like, I don't even want to talk to anybody who I have to explain who Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike is.

You know what I'm saying? It's just certain things. They should know. I mean, they should know, but a lot of them don't. The kids probably. But certain things in the black community, if I say, you should be able to repeat. Like if I say raindrops. Drop top.

Yes. If I say Ronnie. Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. That's all I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? That's how you got to G-check your fellow brothers and sisters sometime and make sure they up to par in their blackness. Well, you know that new edition movie, once that came out on BET, I think that helped a lot of people out. A lot of kids who might not have known who new edition was.

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. That's right. And Ralph. Yeah, and Ralph. And Johnny. Well, I mean, they're in the group. And Ralph and Johnny. They're not coming,

but we'll discuss all that, I'm sure. And Ralph and Johnny not in that line. Why weren't they in that line? Why didn't they just say Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike? Well, Johnny wasn't there at the time. Johnny got added to the group later. Yeah, Ralph, he's not going to say his own name. Johnny got added to the group later. Yeah, Ralph wasn't.

He's not going to say his own name. Yeah, Ralph was talking. That's weird, though. Ronnie? Nah. Ricky and Mike? Yeah, Ralph was the

one singing it. Yeah, he was singing it. He was saying, I like the girls. And he was like, anyway, you should know the song. Yeah, yeah, okay.

So, okay, Ralph wouldn't be speaking in a third person. He's not going to shout himself out. Right. All right. Well, we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about?

Man, there's a hurricane headed toward Hawaii, and we'll tell you the precautions they are taking there. And Donald Trump, he's trying to distract you. We'll tell you what his big thing that he's petitioning for now. It's not a big thing at all. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Shout to Chicago. Shout to the Chi-town. I'm actually broadcasting from Chicago. I had an event here last night. So shout to everybody in the Chi that listens on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, one of the homies

texted me last night and said, yo, Envy just G-checked me in the club. I was like, what? I was like, that don't even sound right. Oh, yeah. What did you do? I mean, you know what I, anyway, that's inside information. Let's get into some front page news. And I'm in Atlanta. I'm in Atlanta, but we would love to hear that in front page news. No, you wouldn't.

No, you wouldn't. What happened? I shouldn't even have said that. I know. I sent you. I told you. What is wrong with you? Oh, I thought something else happened. Okay. No. Envy's always strong with you. Oh, I thought something else happened. Okay. No. I think he's always checking somebody. Go ahead, Yee. All right, well, let's talk about this hurricane that is headed toward Hawaii.

It's going to be a Category 4 storm. Right now, they are telling residents there to get ready to have supplies ahead of that hurricane lane coming. They're saying that could make landfall in the coming days. I was looking at video footage. You can see the supermarkets, the shelves are empty. Everybody's getting their supplies together. And they're saying that could land sometime in the next 24 hours. Yikes. I know.

It's such a scary thing to know that that's coming and to have to prepare for it. But it's good to know because then you can get out of there, but you never know what to expect. Should we pray for Hawaii now? Or do what we usually do and wait until after the disaster happens? No, we should start praying now. I think we should be praying now that the hurricane doesn't hit instead of waiting until it hits and then everything's terrible and then saying pray for Hawaii.

Right. Well, you never know how bad it's going to be. So they're saying there's strong winds. The primary threats will be rough surf, coastal erosion, heavy rainfall. Even if the center of the storm does not move directly over the islands, they're expecting 10 to 15 inches of rain with isolated amounts greater than 20 inches. So that could lead to landslides and that could lead to flooding as well.

All right. Now, Donald Trump, he is upset at ESPN for the decision not to televise the national anthem. He had a rally in West Virginia. And here's what he said. You're proud of our country, and unlike the NFL, you always honor and cherish our great American flag. It was just announced by ESPN that rather than defending our anthem and defending our flag, they've decided that they just won't broadcast when they play the National League.

We don't like that. Donald Trump needs a new play in his playbook. That call out the NFL whenever new info leaks that could connect him to Russia collusion is getting old. And if you fall for that distraction, you're an idiot. ESPN has already said that decision is consistent with how they've handled that situation in the past few years.

They haven't been airing the national anthem anyway. Who cares? What about Michael Cohen possibly calling out Donald Trump for collusion with Russia? What about that? Okay, let's keep our eye on the ball here. Now, CBS Sports also does not plan to televise the Star Spangled Banner either, which is the same thing they've done in recent years also. And Fox Sports said the network plans to show the anthem

only during what it considers to be very special broadcasts like Veterans Day and Thanksgiving and during the playoffs. The fact that y'all are falling for this distraction is unbelievable to me. Like, I wouldn't even be releasing statements on any of that. I'll just be asked. My statement would be, well, what about his collusion with Russia? And what did Michael Cohen possibly dime him out? That's what I'd be talking about.

Right. Well, he's not a big fan of Michael Cohen. And Donald Trump has now admitted to paying these women to not give any information, the women he's had affairs with, but saying it didn't come from his campaign fund. So now he's saying he did nothing wrong because he's the one that refunded the money out of his personal money. Donald Trump said that was my money. Okay. I paid for those hoes is what he said. Jesus Christ, man.

Drop on a Clues Mom for Trump. When he says little gangster lines like that, I'd be like, wow. How can he get away with that? And he's the president of the United States of America. It changes the whole story he was telling before. That's why his base loves him, man. His base don't care. Why?

Because of stuff like that. They don't care. Like, that's not illegal to do what I did. It was my money. It wasn't campaign money. I've been a billionaire for a long time. All right. All right. Well, that's was my money. It wasn't campaign money. I've been a billionaire for a long time. All right. All right.

Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, a bad morning, or maybe you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it. Pick up the It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. You better have the same energy. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is B-Mod from the Metro, man.

803, what's happening? Get it off your chest. Yes, a couple days ago, I went to the Beyonce Jay-Z concert at Williams-Brice downtown. Now, Beyonce's beautiful. Obviously, she's wonderful. But Hov got to stop trying to look like this young rapper, man. Like, you got the resume, man. We know, like, you don't got to make it seem like you're 27 and you're about to drop Reasonable Doubt again, man.

Why do you think Jay-Z's trying to look like he's 27? I don't get that vibe from him. Well, one of the parts of it is that he's growing his hair out now. He can do that. I don't got no problem with that. That's a young thing, but that kind of adds to his hip trying to make himself look young again. Man, no, man. Hold on.

He's got a good hairline and he wants to show it off. What's wrong with that? That's a rarity. If I was 47 and could grow my hair out, I damn sure would. Hell, I'm 40 now and can't grow my hair out, but I would if I could, god damn it. Usually people cut their hair when they try to look younger. They cut their hair and cut their facial hair. Jay just let his hair grow.

He does it all the time. Hold the proven, though. I'm just saying, like, at the end of the day, if you look at Snoop, Snoop keeps reinventing himself. He got the reggae album, and he got the gospel album. Snoop ain't trying to be this full-fledged rapper no more. Yes, he's still rapping. Jay-Z's not a full-fledged rapper no more either, sir.

Jay-Z's got television and movie production deals. Jay-Z's got businesses. Jay-Z's not a full-fledged rapper. Jay-Z's a business, sir. And if he does, who cares? That's what he enjoys to do. He's not doing it for money. He's doing it because he really enjoys it, bro. But thank you for calling. Hello, whoZ. He's a business, sir. And if he does, who cares? That's what he enjoys to do. He's not doing it for money. He's doing it because

he really enjoys it, bro. But thank you for calling. Hello, who's this? What's up, Envy? Hey, what's up, Trav? Hey. Hey, Trav. What's up, Charlamagne?

What up, sis? This backdoor entry is getting old, man. Just wanted you to know that. Trav, people, somebody thought that you were instructed to call here yesterday

and slander Joe Button. I have this psycho that found me on Instagram and I blocked him. He made another page. He just continuously keeps writing me, telling me that Charlamagne paid me to call up there. And I knew Joe was having a Spotify deal. Yeah, I'm like, that is a crazy. Like, first of all, salute to my man Joe Button for his Spotify deal. Why would I call somebody...

Why would I pay somebody to call up here and slam the Joe Button? Like, I knew his Spotify deal was getting announced yesterday. Like, come on, man. Stop it. And on top of that, I wasn't ... Well, no, I did slam the Joe Button, but I do love Joe Button and I love his podcast and I didn't call for nobody to cancel him or nothing.

All I said was he played with the LGBT community, so I was going to play with his community, the S.T.E. community. The S.T.E. community. That's what somebody said to me yesterday, too. They was like, you revealed yesterday that you listened to Joe Budden's podcast. I always listen to Joe Budden's podcast. Well, I'm sure he's coming on The Breakfast Club next week, so you guys can talk to him then.

Right. You can call up and talk to him, Trav. We'll get you to call up. Well, I want to clue Vons with Joe Budden. No. He actually loves that he got a Spotify deal. That's good. And I love them all now.

That's a good call. I want to call and talk about my brother, man. I was talking to him yesterday, and he finally got a radio. I told you how he locked up. Okay. My twin is locked up for 30 years. Well, he did four now, so he's doing 26 more. But he's going to give him a shout out on the radio. I was he did four now, so he's doing 26 more. But let me give him a shout-out on the radio.

I was going to say the justice system is very, very flawed. They gave him a felony at the age of 17, and I actually watched how when you first get a felony, you're trying to get a job where you can't even put on an application where you apply for Burger King that you got a felony just so you can work at Burger King, and they find out that you got a felony, and they still can work at Burger King, and they find out that you got a felony, and they still fire you from Burger King,

where they wouldn't hire you anyway. And they're just watching him apply and apply and apply and get turned down, get turned down. And it makes you do stuff, you know, as you get older, to try to get money and try to take care of your kids, where they finally catch you doing something and, you know, give you a bunch of years, more years if he would have murdered somebody.

I'm not... It's interesting. I never lied about that when I was growing up. Like, when I used to grow up and I used to, you know, give you a bunch of years, more years if he would have murdered somebody. I'm not... It's interesting. I never lied about that when I was growing up. Like, when I used to grow up and I used to, you know, go fill out job applications, I never lied on my felony thing. I still got jobs. But that's good.

You did that in different places. Some people might not get their opportunity. Yeah, you never know. I don't think people care about, in the music industry, about felonies, depending on what felony it is. I'm not talking about no damn music industry. I'm talking about Taco Bell. I'm talking about a telemarketing place. I'm talking about Taco Bell. I'm talking about a telemarketing place.

I'm talking about a clothing store in the mall. I'm talking about a warehouse called Industrial Acoustics. I'm talking about no damn music industry. What are you talking about? Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Didn't your sister fire you from Taco Bell? She did after two weeks. Had nothing to do with my felony record.

So you didn't have to fill out a, um, yeah, you didn't have to fill anything out for her to see? Yeah, you work for your sister, damn it. That's why you got the job. I definitely filled out an application for Taco Bell. I would have fired you too. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? My name is Tenayla. Hey, Tenayla, get it off your chest. I'm mad because I got to wake up 5 in the morning just to go to school. Ooh, girl, listen, 5 in the morning, I'm already headed to work. How old are you? I'm 13. I don't want to hear your little young ass complaint, girl.

I wake up 4 o'clock every morning. I've been waking up 4 o'clock every morning for 8 years. But why do you have to get up so early? Because I got to get ready and stuff. And then that's when I got to take the bus. Well, congratulations for having a life. And remember, the early bird gets the worm. Remember that.

Because in a couple of years, you're going to have to really work, and then you're not going to like that. So just enjoy your high school and your junior high school. Enjoy that now. Okay. That's right. And like Yangelie said, the early bird gets the worm, but it has nothing to do with you because you're not a bird,

and you don't eat worms. Hello, who's this? Hey, y'all. It's me, Salem. Good morning. Hey. Hey, Salem. Get it off your chest, mama.

Hey, okay, so I wanted to leave a little PSA announcement. I was getting trolled on the internet, I mean on Instagram the other day, saying how I shouldn't be dating black men from the original men in my culture with that stupid mindset. And I wanted to let them know, just because you live with your parents, and I'm sure your daddy want to kick you out, and I'm sure your hairlines were seedy. You shouldn't hate on, you know, original women wanting to date black men. Like, I was getting horribly trolled. It was so annoying

just because my preference in black men. But Eritrean women are black. I mean, they're African, but they're black. They're just basically trying to say that black men are they're going to cheat on you. They're going to leave on you know, they're just saying ignorant stuff, but I wanted to say that, but since I am talking about Instagram, can I tell my other people to follow me?

Yes, you can, baby. Follow me on Instagram, y'all, at S-A-L-E-M-E-S-A-Y-A-S. Let me ask you a question. Do your followers go up when you call into the Breakfast Club? I think so. I think it does. Just because of you, though. But, Charlamagne, you know how the other day you did say you don't like Jeremiah?

His name is Jeremiah, guys, not Jeremiah. Whatever his name is, I don't know. Mr. Unrecognizable Face, yes. Okay, I have records. You know, I love you, Charlamagne. You know what you said. I saw, I was listening to her radio. Let me pull the records.

You said on January 4th, 2017, on the episode, the gang is out here that you liked his music. I do like his music. I just don't know what he looks like. Really? Nope. He looks like a creative player on NBA 2K right before you add any features to him. I am done.

Stop it. Thank you, mama. I love y'all. Love you too. We love you back. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

And guess what, guys? What? Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. I like the girl. Who cares who you like? Cool it now. Alright, BBD and Bobby Brown will be joining us next hour. And we got rumors on the way,

Yee? Yes, sir. Yes, I mean, let's shout out Joe Button and his podcast. We'll tell you what deals he's been landing. Also, what would you do if you thought your flight was about to crash? We'll tell you what Post Malone did when he thought that perhaps it might be the end. He said the N-word. No, he didn't.

Let that fly for the coach at one time. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's get to these rumors.

Let's talk Post Malone. 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.

Well, we told you about the emergency landing that the flight that Post Malone was on had to make. It was a private jet going to London from Teterboro in New Jersey. And he said that he actually sent out a group text. He didn't do one by one individual messages, but he sent his text to his family and friends just letting them know that he loves them. And he said that we took off. Apparently

there was a sensor in the back that flipped out so we landed. Then we took off again and we just heard the tire pop. So he was preparing for death? He thought he was going to actually die? Yeah, I guess. Yeah. It was an emergency.

Yeah, when things like that happen, they saw smoke coming from the plane and everything. So anything could have went wrong. You don't know if you're on a plane, a small private jet like that, and you see smoke coming, and there's an emergency landing. You never know what's going to happen. Why don't you send out a text? Yes. Yeah, if I was Post Malone, I'd have trolled the internet one good time before I died. I'd have just tweeted out,

Nigga. That would be the most emotionally conflicting thing ever if he would have died in that plane crash and that was his last tweet. I would hope that he would rather tweet his friends and family, I mean, text his friends and family and tell them that he loves them. Pretty much.

He would think about trolling at that time. He's a kid. When are they not thinking about trolling at that time. He's a kid when they're not thinking about trolling. He's not a kid. Kanye might be facing a class action lawsuit and that's because one of his fans was upset. We guys remember all the Life of Pablo nonsense where he tweeted out, my album

The Life of Pablo will never never be on Apple and it will never be for sale. You can only get it on Tidal. Of course, that didn't happen. A lot of people went and got Tidal after that. They said the membership grew from 1 million to 3 million in the months that followed. Maybe not necessarily

just from that tweet, but some fans feel like they might have subscribed to Tidal just because of that. So now there's a whole lawsuit. We don't know if it's going to be a class action lawsuit or what. First of all, T title is better than Apple. That's just my personal opinion. You know, I have both, but I prefer a title.

But why is that his problem? Just because he said his album was going to be exclusively on title. That shouldn't be his problem because a bunch of fans went to sign up for title because of Kanye? Right. Well, it could be a class action lawsuit. I know sometimes y'all get those notifications. It's like a big, thick envelope in the mail where they're like, whatever your phone carrier is, it's a class action lawsuit.

So he could do something like that because they're saying this does fall in line with grounds for class action. That's when a group of people affected by the same injury brought on by a product or action can collectively sue a defendant. How is that an injury, though? Just because you signed up for title. It's an injury to somebody's pocket pocket though? I don't know. That sounds crazy. That sounds ridiculous, man. But individually, people probably wouldn't even get that much money, but it would probably hurt

because it's a lot of people. All right, Joe Button, congratulations to him. His podcast has landed that deal with Spotify and of course, you know, his Revolt TV show is coming. Drop on a cool bomb for Joe Button. Here's what Joe Button had to say.

We are gathered here today for the state of the culture. In this digital age, there is an endless need for information. With more information comes more understanding, more acceptance, more unification. We are here to bridge the gap between the streets and the boardrooms, between the trap house and the penthouse, from the young lils to the older OGs. There's a need for more correct information.

There's a lot of misinformation out there online now. Shout to Joe, too. Yeah. Joe Button's show for State of the Culture and now. Shout out to Joe, too. Joe Button's show for State of the Culture and Revolt is going to be starting on September 10th. And his deal with Spotify kicks in September 12th. So you can hear his Joe Button podcast exclusively on Spotify. It'll still be available video on YouTube, but you can hear that exclusively on Spotify. And, of course, his whole back catalog, 175 episodes already is available to stream on Spotify as well.

Yeah, I think that's dope. And let me apologize. Let me apologize to Joe too because I didn't believe him. Oh, what you apologizing to Joe for? No, because when he told me he was giving up rap,

I doubted him. I was like, there's no way you're going to give up rap. He's like, no, I'm done with rap. You know, we were talking in the barbershop.

He's like, I'm done with rap. I'm not going to rap again. I'm going to this new platform. I'm not rapping anymore. I was like, yeah, all right. But he really did it. So I'm proud of Joe. I shout to Joe, man. I think it's to rap again. I'm going to this new platform. I'm not rapping anymore. I was like, yeah, alright. But he really did it. So I'm proud of Joe. Shout out to Joe, man. I think it's dope. He did his damn thing. I think it's dope for Joe. It gives hip-hop podcasts

legitimacy, of course. And Spotify wants access to the people Joe has access to every week. And I'm happy that podcast content is being looked at as legitimate content. You know what I'm saying? Everybody level up. Create content the way you want. And if corporate wants to partner up with you, you know, partner up with what you're already doing, cool. If not, F them because everybody getting to their bags on their own.

All right. Now, Kodak Black is turning down some big money to perform right now because he's going to be working on some music. You know, he was locked up for seven months. Now that he's out, he's getting all of these offers, over $100,000. So, so far, he's turned down $125,000. Labor Day in Tallahassee. The money's coming in good, but he's working on some new music. So right now he's not

doing any of these performances. But it looks good for Kodak Black now that he's a free man. You wouldn't go up the street just to grab $125,000? Tallahassee? Tallahassee right there. He probably could get more. He probably could get more somewhere else. Yeah, but he's right there. Two seconds from home.

Miami, right? What codec live in Florida? He's from Fort Lauderdale, I believe. But yeah, so he lives in that area. He's from Florida. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. And we got to say welcome and good morning to our newest family member, KBBT.

San Antonio's number one for hip-hop and R&B. Welcome to the family, 98.5 The Beat in San Antonio. This is huge. I love San Antonio, and I can't wait to go back. Listen, San Antonio, I know y'all lost Kawhi Leonard, okay? Right. But now y'all have The Breakfast Club. That means nothing as far as it comes to the Spurs,

but it sounds good coming out of my mouth, doesn't it? No? All right. Oh, no. No. Well, we're really excited to be part of that family, so there you have it. Absolutely.

Yes. All right. Well, shout out to San Antonio, and when we come back, Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike, I like the girls who care who you like. Yes. New edition. Well, that's a new edition. BBD girls.

And I'm doing a mix this morning, so you can start getting in your requests for your favorite Bobby Brown joint, your favorite new edition joint, and your favorite BBD joint. So get your request in right now, all right? It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special or we got some special guests in the building. A room full of legends right now. One of them has never been here.

I like the sound of that. Bobby Brown! What up? What's going on? So now it's Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. Yes, RBRM. Has this collective come about because Ralph and Johnny own the name New Edition?

No. This came about because we just want to go on tour. We want to embark on something different. We want to add another child to New Edition, which is the mother of all of us as individuals and as groups. And so we just added another baby to the pot, you know, RBRM. We're looking forward to getting out there on tour, man. The tour that you went on before, how was that tour?

Because I know at one time I went on tour, it was good. And then I heard there was rumblings. Were y'all all good or there was problems still? When you're rocking with the guys that you've been rocking with most of your life, I mean, it's a marriage. Right. You know, it's family, and sometimes we all agree, and we're all on the same page, and sometimes we're not.

Right. You know, this might be a little controversial, but honestly, like, you know, thank God for BBD. Thank God for Bobby Brown. And the fact that we're able to come together because, you know, if we didn't have this, if we didn't have these other entities, these other groups, you know,

I don't know what we would do. We would just, we'd kind of be assed out. You can't sing Candy Girl by yourself. Right, right. What is there to argue about? You go to stage, you do your soul, y'all can just split up. Man, if it was

that simple. I don't know if y'all saw Colony Bad's performance. Exactly. I mean, you hear about it all the time. You hear about groups breaking up, getting back together. You know, everybody from Jodeci to 112 to whoever it is, maintaining, getting everybody on the same page in the group

is really challenging. But you figure when you're young, it's ego. But now when you get a little old, you be like, it's about the check. I got to go feed the family. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

And it shouldn't be about that, you know? And that's what we think about. We got families. Like you said, especially when the bar is set so high, the new addition story, right? Generations of people that weren't attached to us initially right now are waiting to come see us. Right. So you're right. In one sense, it doesn't have to do with the ownership of the name, but

it does have to do with differences. You know, the reason why all six of us are not sitting here right now. Why do Ralph and Johnny own the name New Edition? I think it was sitting out there, Charlamagne, and we was all focused on so much other stuff that I don't think people even realized it. As important as it was, it was just

an oversight. They trademarked it. Someone caught it, boom, boom, boom. We found out about it later. But we're dealing with that now. I just feel like if you're going to trademark a name, that's something that all 60-year-olds should have been involved. All 60-year-old names should be on there. Actually seven.

Actually seven. Because he gave us the name. He thought of the name. Right, right. So I saw when you posted that basically you were going to sit down with everybody and get everybody back on the same page, right, when the tour fell apart at first and you guys were supposed to go on tour and perhaps do some more after the new edition movie. Right.

So how did you guys all get back on the same page? How did that work? That was just more or less a cry from the fans. I mean, we got some people that really been with us from day one. You know, those are the button girls. And they really felt like with their children, like bro was saying, they wanted to bring their kids to the tour. And just with the fall of some of the things that didn't happen,

that should have happened, I just want to let them know, just hold on. We done seen this play before. We're going to figure it out. I know y'all want it now, but it wasn't meant to be now, but it definitely has to happen. Because if we don't do it, then it leaves our legacy with an empty chapter. I would love for all of y'all to answer this question, starting with Bobby. Do you think that y'all dropped the ball after the new edition movie?

I just think we didn't capitalize on everything that we could have capitalized on. There was so much out there. There was so much money, so much that we were supposed to do after the movie. I play a major part in that not happening, but at the same time, I'm thankful that I was able to take my time with what I wanted to do and what we were going to do.

And fortunately, you know, we're here now, you know. You said you dropped the ball. How did you drop the ball? What made you not want to jump in and do it? Well, I just, you know, I was not in the frame of mind to go out on tour or be performing. You know, I had other things that I was working on, you know, and it just wasn't the right time. Right. I would say, bro, in the basketball term, we definitely turned it over. Answer to your question, yes.

And same thing, we definitely dropped the ball, but you can't force anyone to pick up the phone to return the calls right you know to come to the meetings yeah yeah that definitely dropped the ball man when you um think of not very many times in a career or in life do you get the chance to reset and reset again and reset again right and for the movie to come out so good to not have the full participation of all six of us is disappointing. But ultimately, the four of us sit here, you know,

and we look to continue the legacy of New Edition. You know, RBRM is not a new name for New Edition. Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike is just that, you know, four guys from New Edition. Like Mike said, we're going to get back to New Edition at some point. Are y'all going to do New Edition songs on tour, or y'all just? Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

Have you guys all seen the Bobby Brown story yet? No, we haven't. I haven't seen one scene. Right. Only thing I've seen. I've seen... Only thing I've seen is what everybody else has seen. Listen, I've seen about four or five scenes that

I'm sitting there engaged, just intense, just wanting more. I read the book, and I tell people all the time, Bobby Brown, Every Little Step, one of the best books I've ever read in my life. There's no much so that I... I don't know if BET can handle it. I don't know. I think it needs to be rated R or something.

Yeah, probably so. But I think we did a good job with calming it down. It's still raw and gritty, but it's made for TV. In your book, you got a story about Janet Jackson. Oh, gosh. Can we talk about your relationship with Janet? Is that in the movie? I believe so.

I believe so. I believe so. I haven't seen the full cut of the movie yet. I wanted to wait to watch the whole movie with, you know, the world, you know. I didn't want to spoil it for myself in the book everybody talked about the story when you go but I was right he threw Janet out of a hotel room naked people call you the king of R&B you consider yourself the king army no IB? No. I'm the king of stage.

You put me on stage against anybody and I'll whoop their ass. Even now? Yeah. Sorry, guys. No kidding. Hey, yo. I be rocking with them. Do you still get that feeling when you're on tour, when they perform?

You know what? Let me jump out there and show them what I got. Does he still do that? No, not with them. With them, it's something different. Yeah, Bob, no, I added to you. When it's our turn, we don't f*** around either. And we say it loud, too.

Bobby, one of the greatest moments on stage of yours to me, and they play it all the time on the internet, when you was dancing and you dropped some type of substance out of your pocket. It was my watch off my wrist. It wasn't coke? No, no. It was my watch off my wrist. Oh. Why would I walk on stage with coke in my pocket? Yeah. You know? It might melt. You didn't miss a beat.

Well, you didn't miss a beat, sir. I ain't trying to mess up my high later. Yeah. It might melt. Right. All right, we got more with new addition and BBD, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. That's right, BBD and Bobby Brown in the building, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. That's right, BBD and Bobby Brown in the building. Charlamagne? Now, is there a problem between you and Ralph, Bobby?

No, there's no problem between me and Ralph. There's no problem between any of us. We just have our times, you know. All brothers have, you know, difficulties with each other at one point or another. But there's no problems with us. So will they be popping up on some dates perhaps like a couple hearing it had the moon furniture just fight you know I know you're grown but still you got feel those last time he's a little creaky now it was Mike and Johnny in Detroit in the lobby. Recently?

No, that was a few years ago. I wish I could play that movie. That's nights four or five. Yeah, exactly. We can't wait. Him with the furniture. I'm going to hit you with some furniture. Exactly. And like Mike said, so listen, you know, we pushing for nights four and five.

So that's why we don't want to come in and just give you all the details about who said what, who did what, whatever. Oh, because one wrong word in the interview, you won't talk to Rob and Johnny until he's 20. Right. You know, we found out from the new edition movie that Ricky had a problem with drugs. Was there ever a point where drugs became a problem for the group as a collective? Nah, nah. I mean, we smoked weed and drank. That was probably the most we did as a group together.

We did a lot. A lot. We did a lot. We did. I once rode the quickest joint in the world. Where? In the back of the bus. We were sitting in the back of the bus and we was, you know.

Bobby rode sloppy blunts. I was like, come on, man. Get out of here with that shit. Come on, Ron. You got to get Ron that s***. Rob, you got to get Rob. Rob rolled the best one. Rob rolled that mother f***er. Yeah, let's go. Right, right.

Hands down. I was sitting in that bathroom going, no, wait for Rob. Rob was spitting that mother f***er that way. It didn't go this way. And honestly, when we put it in the movie, we was trying to tell BET, let us be us. But they was like, yo, we can only Put so much of this That and the third Just so much

People didn't know Until the movie Y'all didn't know About y'all individual Nah because During my You know Battle

With cocaine And pills And everything else It was like On that down swing When we wasn't working Which actually played a lot In the reason You you know, why I use so much. You know, I was just like depressed and full of anxiety and not knowing where the next check was coming from.

And that was just how I started to deal with, you know, all of those issues. Were you shocked, Bobby, that Ricky had a coke problem? Yeah, I was extremely shocked. I didn't find out until, you know, until later on. And he's probably one of the reasons, you know, that I stopped when I realized that, you know, if my big brother, you know, developed a problem because of, and I felt because of me, you know, because of, you know, what I was going through, I just felt bad, you know. But we work with each other now and we hold each other up.

Why did you feel like you were responsible for his drug problem? I don't know. You know, just me being gone and me being away and them dealing with what they were dealing with, with Ralph and Johnny. I just thought, you know, I don't feel I was the reason he did it. I just felt bad. Did you ever regret leaving and going solo? Did you ever regret that?

No. How could you? How could you? How could you? Not whatsoever. Because he came right... That was supposed to happen. The depth of New Edition became deeper when Bobby left the group.

You know, like, not only was it Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike, and then on Candy Girl were saying each other's names, but when he left the group, you really started to see the personalities of the individuals in the group. And then Belle Bib de Vogue got formed. Boom. Bobby, let me ask you this for your kids. Did you have to explain to them, like, before the book came out, before you do this movie,

just everything that happened, like, have a sit down and say, okay, you're going to see a lot of things that you might not have known. Yeah. I mean, you know, part of the reason for doing the movie is to show my kids my life, you know, is to teach them, you know, what their father has been through. You know, I don't want to hide anything from them. And one day they pop up on the Internet and see something strange about their father and not know about it. What did you think of Pusha T's album cover when you seen Pusha T's album? I haven't seen it. And it's just disgusting that, you know,

they don't have enough sense and enough respect for people that they do shit like that, you know. Kanye knows. No, wait, wait. Kanye don't know better. So I'm not even really worried about it. I don't even want to give him the time of day. You know, when you read your book, Bobby,

you realize all the losses that you've suffered. Do you ever think you'll get to a space where you aren't in grieve mode? Or are you always in grieve mode? I'm working on that. Actually, I work on it every day. You know, you never stop missing the person you love, you know, the person you lost. You never stop missing them.

You never stop thinking about them. So I just try to think positively about them and think about the good times and keep them in my heart. They're always around me, so there's no reason to grieve when you have loved ones that you lost. You don't grieve for them. You feel happy for them. Now, with R&B music now,

what do you think of R&B music now, I should ask? I think it's coming back. I think we have a lot of great soul singers out there that are male and female that are bringing love back into music. It's just the radio. The radio is playing song after song that don't have no meaning, and it just drills into kids' minds. And if you're

not playing music about love, then kids aren't going to know about love. We have to start building their minds with love and care and not with all this booty shaking. Right.

That was good. That was good when we did it. That was good when we did it That was good when we did it You know what Bobby said? Like y'all used to make those kind of records Bobby used to make those kind of records But your actual life was the opposite It was both

It was definitely both We made Poison I'm not gonna be a hypocrite I'm not a hypocrite But at the same time, I have kids. And I want my kids to listen to the type of music that I've listened to when I was growing up. Love songs and things that make you want to dance. And for us, there was a balance, ultimately.

I think life is about the correct balance. And when you're getting too much of anything that's not good for you, you see the result of it. We definitely need that balance of love and R&B infused back in the game because, man, hip-hop and almost southern influences squeezing a whole lot of s*** out from pop to country and rock and roll,

you know, for that matter, when you think about the culture. But when we was 20, that s*** was hot. Right. Slapping the ass was the hottest s***. And that's what we were doing. I think

it's out of our league because to be in his shoes, I can't really relate. You know, I know it's a great question, but I don't have a good answer. That was a great answer. That was a great answer. It's a great R&B song, but it ain't got a good answer. That was a great answer. That was a great answer. That was a great answer.

But it ain't got a great answer. I like Kelsen. We had a joint, but damn, I wish we would've kept it. But he wrote a joint for BBD, I knew it.

Yes. Hell yes. That was mean. What happened? Then more politics with the writer, the producer, his man,

and his man's man next to him. It was just, you know, you know how it get. That wouldn't have played out well, especially because everybody would have kept going back to y'all running on points. It was hot, though.

It was hot, though. Charlamagne, you're a s*** for that one. All right, we got more with Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike. That's right, BBD and Bobby Brown. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We have Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike in the building. Charlamagne? Bobby, you and Mike Tyson still cool? Yes, definitely. That's my brother. Those are some great stories. It seems like y'all could have your own buddy movie.

Oh, man. Based off y'all life when y'all was young. We would be super cops. Me and Bobby, super cops. What's the craziest Mike Tyson story? Oh, man. Wow. We were in Cleveland, and it was after a concert.

And he pulled up at the hotel, and he had his Lamborghini truck. He's a little tipsy, you know. And I'm like, you know, I got to bring you home. And I'm not tipsy, but I'm not sober. Right, right. So he lets me drive. He lets me drive. And me and him in a Lamborghini truck in the snow in Cleveland, Ohio.

We get stuck. And we on the side of the road, me and Mike Tyson have to walk. I don't know how far we had to walk to get back, but we made it back to the hotel and we didn't know where we left the truck. So we had to have the police find the truck. We had to get it out of the snow and all of that. But it was just crazy that me and him was walking in the snow.

And this was Celebrity with Celebrity. Celebrity with Celebrity. Yeah. Y'all did that a lot, though. Y'all used to leave cars all over the place. Yeah, I did. I did. How many cars did you leave?

Just leave them? Just break down and leave them? I mean, when I go to a city, I might be on the bus or in a limo, and I didn't really like riding in limos, and I might see somebody drive up in a nice Benz or something, and I'd get out, and I always kept cash on me, so I would get out and offer him cash and buy the car and drive it around the city while I'm there

and leave it at the airport or leave it at the hotel. You know, Bobby is also the reason Mike Tyson lost his first fight to Buster Douglas. Wow. Because they was wilding together. We was wilding in Japan together the night before. And I kept telling him to go to sleep. I kept telling him to go to bed. Didn't want to go to bed. No, I'm trying to tell him to go to bed. He didn't want to go to bed.

No, I'm not sleepy. This guy's a bum. I'll be right back. Watch. I'm coming. I'm going to walk in the ring. I'm going to knock him out, and then I'm coming back to the party. What was the conversation like after he lost?

It was not good. Not good at all. I cried a lot. I mean, straight grown man ass cry. And we didn't talk for a while until, you know, we didn't talk for a while. He blamed it on you? No, he didn't blame it on me. No, no.

How could you? I mean, if you didn't take your ass to sleep, you didn't take your ass to sleep. Why did y'all talk to him? No, it was just, you know, we just went separate ways, you know, different ways. That jam, Bobby. Now, how are you guys all traveling on the road? Do you all have separate buses this time? I mean, we're still figuring that out.

We're still figuring that out We're still figuring that out Come on I got a lot of kids Bob likes to bring his own family So he'll have his own bus And I think Ron's gonna bring the kids And the wife out too I'm gonna be squeezing them on our bus

So that's the part we're trying to figure out So what bus you riding on? I'm riding on the Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike one bus that's coming off of the tour budget that everybody's paying for. So what bus I'm on? You're going to be on this bus. I got four. Right.

Well, then you need your own bus. All right. Man, I think y'all should have had this figured out already. We're trying to figure it out. September 6th. Right. And we're still on that You're not riding on that bus

You're riding with the crew You're riding with the production crew The VAT show comes on September 4th and 5th For Bobby Brown September 6th Ontario We're in New York We actually doing how the interview started Cause that's the shit we was supposed to do

What? We was supposed to go on the road January 28th, 2017. Yeah. Right after the movie. That's what we really wanted to do. Yes. With the album, the tour, and all the paperwork that was waiting for signatures. Right.

You know, with the dates scrolling down or up during the commercial. Come on, man. That's the layup. Yeah, you're right. Let commercial. Come on, man. That's a layup. Yeah, you're right. Let me tell you something, man. That still hurts. Yeah, it does. Like, it hurts when you think about it.

When you think about all the money that slipped through our fingers. I don't feel like it's gone, though. I feel like y'all been in this game for 40 years. Like, I'm not mixing. But wait, but wait, but wait. He's been asking all these damn questions. Don't look at him. Ricky did some research after the movie, right?

Out of the top ten albums in iTunes, we had seven. Wow. So that meant the single shits, the shits they made up. Oh, this is the new edition hits and the new edition remix hits. Right. We had seven. The deal was we was including all seven of them on one album. And we was going back to

record zero. So all that paper would have been on one album as opposed to people searching and finding. That was all ours for the taking and that's a part of what the movie is about. All the money we didn't make. So we could have made all of that back in those three days.

That's what he's heard about. He was a generation that got to see New Edition. Right. They had no idea. Exactly. Like my daughter. My daughter, she plays New Edition now. Wow.

And she's 16 years old. Wow. I grew up on it. So it's crazy the fact that she would have went to that tour. It would have been 70-year-olds to 15-year-olds. Right. Down to some kids on Instagram that was three and two years old. Now, Bobby, let's get back to some bulls**t.

Did you press Usher back in the day? Huh? Did you press Usher? It was a rumor that you pressed Usher. Like, you ran up on Usher back in the day. No, no, no, no, no. I mean, that's my little brother. Right.

Yeah. Where'd you get this rumor? I don't know. There's always a rumor. That's from somewhere. Yeah, I forgot where I heard that at. But there's always a rumor you ran up on Usher. Oh, no. Hell no. Nah. That's my a rumor. That's from somewhere. Yeah, I forgot where I heard that at, but there's always a rumor you ran up on Usher. Oh, no, hell no.

Nah. That's my little brother. What did you think of Jay-Z's line when he said, to be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now? So it's tough being Bobby Brown. To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now. I didn't hear that. I never heard that.

You got some s***. Really? Yeah. What does that mean? What did he mean? To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now. I think he was just talking about the ebbs and flows of life, the ups and downs of life.

You gotta take the good with the bad, basically. Oh, okay. That's nice. That's pretty clever. Yeah, that's clever. I get it. Did you guys have any hard feelings with each other after the new edition movie came out and you saw?

Because I know you guys sat together to come up with the script, but then actually seeing things play out, seeing how people felt, seeing other people's point of view, was there like some tension after that? Look at me, Mike. No, I... Did you have any tension?

There was a couple things in there that I didn't know happened that I'm still not sure if I believe. Right. Wow. Does that have to do with Ralph? I'm not, you know that I'm still not sure if I believe. Right. Wow. Does that have to do with Ralph? I'm not, you know,

I'm not going to say it because we're pushing for nights four and five. I think y'all need to get all this out of the way before y'all get them fours and fives. Exactly.

Exactly. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Well, tickets are on sale right now. Yeah. They're going to be in your market. Definitely get your tickets. We appreciate you guys for joining us, man. They're going to be in your market. Definitely get your ticket.

We appreciate you guys for joining us, man. Bobby, you ain't never pressed no comedians for going too far with Bobby Brown jokes? Nah. Never? You know what? I got a great sense of humor. And my attitude is this.

If you don't walk up on me, then you don't get these, you know? But if you walk up on me, then we're going to handle some business. There's going to be some furniture moving in that mother******. Bobby was one of the early people to rock with the Breakfast Club, too. There you go. Salute to Ralph and Johnny.

Ralph and Johnny cut the bull****** so everybody can get back together, please. Let's do this. Let's do this. Charlemagne said it. It's the Breakfast Club. It's BBD. What up, T? Bobby Brown. What up, T? Bobby Brown.

What up, T? Hey, Ronald, Roman. Love y'all. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. My ad libs were fired just now.

Y'all didn't even hear them. They were horrible. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Eminem. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Eminem sat down with LL Cool J on LL's Rock the Bells radio show. And they talked about a lot of different things.

Eminem talked about meeting Dr. Dre for the first time. He talked about some of his major influences Eminem talked about meeting Dr. Dre for the first time. He talked about some of his major influences like LL Cool J himself, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Ice-T, and the Fat Boys, people that influenced him as he was coming into this hip-hop game. In addition to that, he talks about why he decided

to become a rapper. It's just something about the music spoke to me. You also didn't really have to be able to sing. It just felt empowering, and it just felt like, I don't know, it just spoke to me as a kid. Like, I wanted to be like you. Something about the energy, and you could just say what you want to say,

and you could talk about your life, and you could talk about s*** that bothers you, and all that, you know, I just, I don't know, something, I just gravitated towards it. And I never strayed from the first day I heard a rap song. Eminem is definitely a gifted rapper, though. You have to give him that. Like, you know, a lot of rappers aren't gifted nowadays.

They just can rap and, you know, do some melodies over a beat. But Eminem's actually gifted. He's skilled. Now, he's so skilled that the song Stan, actually now the word Stan is in the dictionary with the definition of what a Stan is because of Eminem. And he talked about coming up with the concept of that song. Because even though he was fans of a lot of other

artists, he couldn't understand being a Stan. If you were walking outside the venue after a show, and then you saw some fans, you took some pictures, there's always going to be somebody that you don't have a chance to get to. That was one of the things that I started seeing. It was my first experience, really, with it.

It was like, what the fuck is this? And people wanting me to sign shit, I don't get it. It's a signature. I didn't understand it, and I think it was a combination of what I was going through at that time and experiencing fame for the first time and all that stuff. Stans have always existed, though, right? He just gave it a name. I guess for him, you know, when he was young, he didn't understand, like, you know, and

he became famous himself. He just didn't get it. I'm sure it's a crazy adjustment from where he came from and to how quickly he escalated. Here's what else he has to say about Stans. When I got that beat from Mark 45 king with the dino hook on it i was just like put your picture on my wall like that's what that's what i did as a kid like how i felt when you first came out run dmc first came out late just my my entire room walls were covered up to the ceiling with pictures and i put put myself in the shoes of, like,

worshiping you and worshiping Run-DMC and, like, thought, like, how can somebody worship me? Well, you know what I think it is? You know yourself. Like, Eminem knows himself, so he probably never feels worthy of that stand-up. Like, you know how your farts smell.

You know how you blow up the bathroom. Like, you know all the little intimate details about yourself. Why would you love me so much? Did you know what I just did in the bathroom? Yes. Okay. Alright, for all the Lawrence Hive people out there, and I'm talking about the show Insecure

because Lawrence is no longer on the show, aka J. Ellis in real life. Well, now it's been revealed that he has a new gig that he's doing. He's going to be starring opposite Tom Cruise in the new Top Gun Maverick movie. And that's going to be in theaters next year, July 12th. So congratulations to him. See, he's busy. He's booked him busy.

Drop on the clues bombs for Jay Ellis. Been doing that movie with that 97-year-old white man who still look like he's 36. And another congratulations to JoJo Simmons. He got engaged to his girlfriend who also is his baby mom. So congratulations to them on that engagement. Now, recently, JoJo Simmons was just on The Breakfast Club along with Angela Simmons and Vanessa Simmons, his sisters, talking about growing up hip-hop.

And we asked him about getting engaged. Here's what he said. Are you planning to get married? Of course. I mean, there's nothing really else for me. Here's what he said. Are you planning to get married? Of course. I mean, there's nothing really else for me to do. I know that's who I want to be with. I know that's the mother of my child, and I love the healthy home,

and it's great for me. Don't rush it. Oh, definitely not rushing it. It took me 16 years. You know what's so crazy? They trying to rush me. The whole family trying to rush me. I'm not trying to rush you.

She's amazing. If you want... Let's drop one of the clues, Bonds, for JoJo Simmons. Sounds like he's moving into this nice, safe, gated community called the Faithful Black Male Community. You know, it's a gated community. All we ask is trust.

You know, keep your grass cut. You know, it's very safe in here. Very safe. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to this morning? Oh, man, I need this dude named Michael Pedersen to come to the front of the congregation, man. He hit our boy Big Boy from the back, man, and we need to talk about that for after the hour.

Whoa, all right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkeys. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat.

Did she get donkey in the name, please, Debbie? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. This is the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, August 23rd goes to a prosecutor with the L.A. County D.A.'s office, okay, who's been on a leave of absence since January 1st, 2017,

and his name is Michael Pedersen. Now, I don't know why Michael has been on a leave of absence, but Michael clearly is dealing with something. The reason I know Michael is dealing with something is because on Tuesday around 2 p.m., Michael was driving drunk through the mean streets of Calabasas, California. I repeat, around 2 p.m. Michael was driving drunk through the mean streets of Calabasas, California. You know Calabasas. The hood of such goons as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian,

Kris Jenner, Justin Bieber, Drake, just to name a few. Well, another resident of that neighborhood and quite possibly the biggest goon in them all, my man, the radio legend from the West Coast, someone I grew up admiring and now it's a privilege and honor to call him a friend, Big Boy! Drop one of the clues bombs for Big Boy, damn it. Well, Big Boy was driving through his neighborhood,

minding his own damn business, and then this drunk, at two in the afternoon, and Cali-faced man named Michael Pedersen rear-ended big boy from the back. All right? That sounded crazy. Mm-hmm. Might as well keep going.

Michael Pedersen smashed big boy's ass in Calabash. All right? Not a little bump from the back either, okay? Michael Pedersen's car was badly damaged, so he had to be going at a high rate of speed. Now, sadly, drunk driving happens every day, B. I don't know why we have to continue to tell people not to drink and drive in 2018, but we clearly do because that message

is not getting through to people enough. And although drunk driving is always donkey-worthy, that's not the reason Michael Pedersen is getting donkier today. The reason he's getting donkier today is because of what he continued to do after he hit Big Boy from the back. All right?

Let's go to TMZ for the report. Scrape from Big Boy's mouth. Before your cameras got there, before the sheriffs got there, I tried to attack him. And that was just one of them things where when I got out the car and I saw how intoxicated he was, I was like, man, this man is trying to keep me from going home to my family. So when I went at him, my buddy Jose and two other gentlemen stopped me. And I'm glad they did,

because that would have became the story or that would have been on my karma, so on and so forth. And it's not like I had to calm down. I immediately calmed down. I was just done. Then when he brought the bottle out, I was in disbelief, bro. I could not believe it. My man said, sorry. Like, waved his hand and said, sorry, bro. I was like, sorry, you know, but he just kept drinking. That guy was going to crash into something, man. I thank God that me and my buddy Jose, we took it.

Because there's this elementary school that's right there. There's family that cross right there. I mean, he literally knocked us through the red light all the way through. Damn. That's crazy. Michael Pedersen hit big boy from the back. Why does that sound crazy? Let me reword that different.

Michael Pedersen hit big boy's car from the back. Yes, there you go. Vehicular doggy style. Caused all that damage to the rear in a big boy's car. And what does Michael Pedersen do? Pulls out a big vodka bottle and kept drinking. Jesus Christ. Even though I know he's wrong, I kind of feel him.

He going to jail anyway, so if drinking means that much to you and you already drunk, why not keep going? Pass out in the cold tank, get some sleep, wake up with a headache, eat, go back to sleep again, wake up sober and bail out. Why not? Now, when cops finally did arrive on the scene and they finally got Michael out of the car, his pants fell down to the ground.

Okay? He must have thought he was hitting something from the back for real. All right? Why the hell did your pants fall down to the ground, Michael? And after his pants fell down on the ground, he too fell on the ground. So it really was no need for big boy to whip his ass because the vodka clearly had already done that. I don't understand

the need to drive drunk in 2018 you got uber you got lyft it's crazy to me that we grab our phones for everything else okay fight breaks out grab your phone and record it on the toilet doing the number two grab your phone and go to instagram about to eat a great meal grab your phone and take a picture of it if you are drunk why not grab your phone and call someone to pick you up instead of grabbing your car keys to drive? It's that simple. Never make permanent decisions on temporary feelings, and being drunk and wanting to drive is definitely a temporary feeling

that leads you to a lot of decisions that you can't take back. Please give Michael Pedersen the biggest hee-haw. Jesus Christ. Did you call big boy to make sure he was alright? I texted him yesterday. Did he hit you back? No, he didn't hit me back. Oh, so I guess you guys are not friends. Alright, well, thank you for

that donkey of the day, sir. Yes, sir. Did you hit him at all? Yes, I actually did. Oh, okay. Did he hit you back? No, he didn't. All right, then. I guess y'all not friends. Ask E is next.

This is what y'all are arguing about. The man got in a car accident. Y'all arguing over who's friends with him? What is wrong with you two? 585-1051. Ask E is next. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? This is Ebony.

Hey, Ebony, what's your question for Yee? So I have a baby father. He lives in D.C. I live in Houston. He hasn't seen my daughter in a long time, but he gives me child support. But it's not through the state or anything. He gives me $1,000. It goes slowly to her daycare. But he falls off.

Like, he won't call her for, like, a month. And she's three. She's to the age where she's dealing with emotions. Like, she'll say, you know, why doesn't my father pick me up from school? You know, things like that. So, you know, if I don't answer the phone for him after he's disappeared for like a month, then he threatens not to give me money. What should I do?

Well, I think number one, you don't want somebody threatening and holding that over your head because that's his child too. So that money's going to his child. It's not him just giving you money. It's paying for the responsibility of being a father, which clearly he's not that responsible when it comes to it. He does send money sometimes. Are you against putting him on official child support?

Well, my issue is I'm scared that I make good money. He makes really good money. I'm scared that if I, you know, go through the state, then they'll only give me like $300, which won't pay for her education. I have her in a really good money. I'm scared that if I, you know, go through the state, then they'll only give me like $300, which won't pay for her education. I have her in a really good school and it's like $1,200 a month. Are you scared that perhaps he might just stop paying because you said something? Does he pay you every month? Yeah, he pays me every month on time.

It just comes straight out of his chest. All right, so it seems like you have a good situation financially at least. He's on time. He pays that, so you don't need to put him on child support. The main thing is that you want to make sure that he's more involved in your daughter's life. Yeah, but I can't force him. You know, I can't force his family. I can't do anything about it, but I don't want him dipping in and out of her life

because emotionally that affects her, and I have to deal with her asking questions, and I don't want my baby to hurt over a man or think it's okay to, like, that affects her. And I have to deal with her asking questions. And I don't want my baby to hurt over a man or think it's okay to, like, chase a man. Of course not. Or she'll be like, let me call him, you know? And I don't want her calling him. He needs to be calling on a consistent basis. I think that the best thing that you can do, because it shouldn't matter who calls who if she wants to reach her dad, as long as he answers the phone and speaks to her, that might get him more in the habit of wanting to talk to her.

But maybe it's a situation where you guys set up a specific time where he makes himself available to talk to her and that doesn't work? No. Is he responsive if you send him a text and say, hey, would you mind calling your daughter tonight because she's asking for you? Will he respond to that?

It's hit or miss, you know? It's just whatever is going on in his life, whatever he feels, it's not consistent. Right, and you're right. There's some times where she FaceTimes him, you know, on her iPad by herself, and he won't answer the phone call, and he knows it's from her iPad.

It's not me. All right, so, I mean, I think, and I'm sure you've explained this to him because you sound like a very rational person who's doing the best for their daughter. But you know what you do need to do is just make sure you keep those lines of communication open with your daughter and always explain to her that you love her, that her father loves her, that sometimes he is busy doing things, but that he does want to still speak to her. So she always knows that she's loved and you need to let him know, even if it's you just sending him a video or maybe he can make some videos that you can give to her so she could see her dad sometimes even if he's not answering the phone just hey i

love you very much daddy's gonna call you if there's things that you can do to make it easier so that she knows that her father loves her and of course that her mom loves her because you don't want her to feel a way about this later on in life this does affect kids but he's got to get more on point and you're right you can't force somebody to get more on point. But you can't control the narrative of how your daughter feels about herself and about knowing that she's loved and knowing how great she is and that this is nothing that reflects

on her. Okay. I know it's disappointing. And we can't understand why would anybody not want to be in such a beautiful child's life the way that they should be. She's so beautiful. And you just make sure that she knows that. And that's going to be his issue that he has to deal with. And all you can do is hope that he gets better

and make sure you keep those lines of communication open on his part and do what you can and keep on encouraging him to step up. But ask him to do those things. Ask him to record some videos so that if she wants to look at them and know that she's loved and get that reinforcement, that she can at least have those on hand. Okay. We're going to pray for these fathers out here.

We're going to pray for them. We are going to pray for them. All right. All right. Well, Ebony, we appreciate you for being a great mom. Thank you. All right. Ask Yee.

800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit Yee up now. I feel like that. It's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy and Angela Yee. Charlam I feel like that. It's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Ye, 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this?

Hi, my name's Mimi. Hey, Mimi. What's your question for Yeezy? I have a childhood friend, and back in the day, he used to date my best friend. And here we are, like, 20 years later later and he's showing interest in me but it's kind of weird because I've always seen him as a bro. You said you've always seen him as a bro so you don't like him? I don't know I'm like I don't know I don't know like it's starting to grow on me here we are like a year later but I just don't know. And he dated your best friend 20 years ago?

Well pretty much like they dated like, childhood until their adulthood. But the scandalous thing about it is that, you know, they was together for, like, 11 years. And then some s*** hit the fan. And we found out that she had been cheating on him for eight years by that 11th.

But that's still your best friend? It still is. And we've talked, and I've talked to her about it, and she don't care, but I don't know. But you care. I do care. And it's crazy. I've talked to her about it and she don't care. But I don't know. Like, I just don't want to. I do care.

And it's crazy. I care, but neither one of them care. Well, if you, I'm not sure if you have apprehension about dating him because of the situation or if you're just not attracted to him. I see what you're saying. And that's what I don't know. Right. Like, are you trying to make yourself be attracted? You said he's growing on you, but it doesn't seem like you like him.

What is it that makes you even want to consider it? Well, he's a good dad. He's a good provider. He's good people all the way around. It's just, I don't know. And you've got to think for the years that they were together, I was always accused of sleeping with him, and I never did. Now, she might say she doesn't have an issue, but 11 years is a long time.

And I understand that she cheated and did whatever, but that is still supposed to be your best friend. No, I feel that. And I definitely understand that. But the thing is, too, is like. It just sounds like a messy situation. And it doesn't feel like you think that's your soulmate and you fell in love and you really want to date him. It feels like you're just considering it because it seems interesting.

But why invite all that drama if it's not something that you're passionate about? No, I feel you. But there's truly no drama either. Me personally, like, he's a good person, but I never knew all these years he's actually like me. Don't force yourself to date somebody that you're not feeling like that just because you feel like,

okay, he's growing on me. You should do it if you feel like I really am attracted to this person and I can see your future. Don't just do it to do it. So if you want to admit that, yes, I really like him and I want to pursue this, then pursue it. But it does seem like the way you're expressing it to me

doesn't seem like you're that interested. I see what you're saying. Also, well, can I say something about the VMAs? Because that whole Rifa thing was pissed off. You're not even that interested in him. See, now you're talking about the VMAs, which, by the way, had the lowest ratings on TV. All right.

Well, hold on, mama. Hold on, mama. And VMAs suck like that? It did have the lowest ratings. But it did do well, like, online. And that could also be how we consume television nowadays. You know, a lot of people look at things online instead of actually watching it on TV. I only see clips what they want to see, you know?

You know, they only see what they want to see. Because I only wanted to see a couple of acts. I wanted to see Cardi B. I wanted to see Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott Because I only wanted to see a couple of acts. I wanted to see Cardi B. I wanted to see Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott. I only wanted to see a couple of people. But anyway, that was Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice,

you can call Yee. Now we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Charlamagne's boy, Pete Davidson. We all know Ariana Grande wrote a whole song about him. But find out what she has to say about knowing that he is the one. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.

With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, like he says, New Dog is always reinventing himself. And now he has a cookbook coming out. It's called From Crook to Cook. And that's going to have some of his things like baked mac and cheese, chicken and waffles, also some drinks like gin and juice.

Of course, he has his own formula for that. It only makes sense. And he has that show with Martha Stewart as well. So, I mean, why wouldn't he put out a cookbook? Yeah, salute to Snoop. I hate that term reinventing himself, though. Maybe Snoop is just multi-talented. And just as he grows, we get to see more of his talents.

Right, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that you're reinventing yourself. You know, this is not probably something he would have did when he was 17, 18 years old. Yeah, because it's called growth. Because he's still Snoop at the end of the day. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's always doing different things. So nothing wrong with that.

Now, let's be for real. Bruce Jenner reinvented himself. If you ask me, that's growth. That's what he wanted to grow into. Oh, okay. All right, Kim Kardashian is considering possibly doing a spinoff show with who? Kanye West. All right, so apparently that's something that they've been discussing and talking about.

You know, they had Kourtney and Kim take Miami, and why not? I mean, I'm sure Kanye would love to do something like that. Seems like he's been in the spotlight a lot lately. Nah, I'm not interested in that. That's not the kind of growth I want in my life. You know what I mean? I don't want to see Kanye West on reality TV. It depends.

It does depend. I would actually like to see Kim more in Kanye's world than Kanye being Kanye Kardashian. You know what I mean? But then again, it might be dope. I feel like we see Kim in Kanye's world all the time. She's at all the album listening sessions. Yeah, but we don't see the making of it. Like going to the factory, see how he's making the sneakers, seeing how he's designing this stuff,

seeing how he's being a dad. Not the other BS, but the real Kanye. I would love to see that. Yeah, but then again, it might be interesting to see Kanye as Daddy Ye. You know what I'm saying? It might be good to see him as Daddy Ye around the house. Husband, father, Ye. It could be interesting.

All right, so you say yes now to this. I don't know. I don't know how I feel, to be honest with you. I'm being honest. I really don't know how I feel. I see, because you went from that to yes. All right. Who is the world's highest paid actor with you. I'm being honest. I really don't know how I feel. I see, because you went from that to yes. All right.

Who is the world's highest paid actor who made $239 million last year? You know who that is? The Rock. It's actually George Clooney. Now, the bulk of that money

that he made came from his $1 billion sale of his Casamigos tequila brand. See, I don't like stuff like that. I don't like numbers like that. from endorsement deals

in other movies as well. Because if you say who's the highest paid actor, I'm thinking that they're getting paid off movies. But then when you talk about the business acumen, that's a whole different ballgame. Right, well, actually, The Rock is number two on the list. Who's number two? The Rock. Yeah, because The Rock is the highest paid actor in Hollywood as far as what he gets per film. Like, George Clooney, you cheating with your billion dollar tequila deal.

I can't even think of a George Clooney movie that came out last year. Yeah, but that's like we talk about hip hop artists who's the highest paid and we take into consideration all the other ventures they have. Like Sirach played a lot in Diddy, making a lot of the money that he's made outside of music. So why not to get into consideration? What was George Clooney's big movie last year? Anybody know? Nope. I didn't know that he made $239 million, though,

so congratulations to him, though. That's still a big deal. All right, and Ariana Grande, she talks about Pete Davidson and how she found healing after everything that happened in Manchester, after that tragedy that happened a little over a year ago. But she's very exciting for her wedding plans with Pete Davidson.

She sat down with Michael Strahan on ABC News, and here's what she had to say about knowing that he was the one. I just thought he was so cute. The only thing we said to each other is just like, hi, and the three just like worked together. I was like, I'm going to marry that man. Cuts to three years later. He just ticks every box and just gets better every day.

How did you know Pete was the one for you? I mean, it's just like a feeling, you know? That's so cheesy. Like, people are always like, when you know, you know. And you're like, oh, yeah, whatever, okay. Did you listen to the Pete Davidson song yet? You know I listen to Pete. It's only a minute long.

Drop on the Clues bombs for Pete Davidson. You know, that's the only song I listen to on the whole Ariana Grande album. I went straight to Pete Davidson's record. It's literally only a minute and 15 seconds long, but it don't matter. All right? He's got a whole minute 15 song named after him. Pete is laying it down like it's never been laid down before. Okay?

Not Big Sean. Not Mac Miller. Young Petey D. All right. Well, best of luck to them. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss E.

Oh, it's going to be a slow song. Maybe it's going to be Can You Stand the Rain. Can you stand the rain? Okay, what about you, Charlamagne? Oh, man, I got so many of

them. I mean, Cool It Now comes to mind because when my daughter was one or two years old, that was one of her favorite songs, Cool It Now. Mr. Telephone Man? I love if it isn't love. You know what I mean? I like You're Not My Kind of Girl. Pick one! Uh... I mean, let's

go with Cool It Now. Why not? Alright. You're gonna have to play if it isn't love, so you can't tell me to pick one, because you're gonna play at least three that I love. Alright.
