You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts
Starting point is 00:01:25 that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or? Breakfast Club, bitches. I'm glad they put y'all together. Y'all are like a megaforce. Y'all just took over everything. Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown. I've officially joined The Breakfast Club. Say something, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:01:54 I'm with it. The world's most dangerous morning show. Breakfast Club, bitches. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it with your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Block.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Hello, who's this? This is Fred. What's going on? Fred, what's popping, man? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, first off, I'm really tired of this whole COVID stuff going on, man. Like, it's really pushing a lot of stuff back for myself. Keeping me away from my kids and their mom and that together and stuff. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:02:29 that's really hard on me right now. The only thing I can do right now is just FaceTime them and, you know, talk to them on the phone. That's really good. That's really a lesson with me. Now, how much of a FaceTime father were you before, though? I mean, I FaceTime my kids down there every day.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I get to work. When I'm on my break, I FaceTime them right before they about to go to bed. When I'm about to go on my lunch break at work, I call them. I'm at home. I'm FaceTiming them, telling them how much I love them and all that. But the only thing that's changed is you don't get them on the weekend? I can't get them on the weekend. Yeah, basically, you know.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Okay, okay. We try to work through it. It's also the COVID. It's also putting back my competition. What competition? It's a bodybuilding competition. I've been dieting and training for this dang competition for two damn years now. Well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:03:25 That'll be back when everything opens back up. At least you're taking care of yourself. How's your diet now that you're at home? You said, what, uh, you? Are you able to work out at home still and keep yourself up? Yeah, but it's the whole workout ain't the same. He wants that competition.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's a whole different feeling. You know, you can get way more weights in, better reps in, all that. You know, you got all the equipment that the gym gives at home. You know, I got my little weights, dumbbells, resistance bands, and air rollers and all that. There's nothing like this. The most important thing about the home workout is the most important thing about any workout, and that's the diet.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Because it's so easy to snack and get back in the carbs at the house. Like, you really got to watch your diet at the crib. Yeah, you know, I still be on that. You know, I stay in my yams and my vegetables and stay weight, weighing myself out and meal prep. But at the same time, you know, when're doing this consistently and then you finally want to just go to Buffalo Wild Wings or get a good old steak dinner.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Your confidence gets pushed back again. You just like, ugh. Well, at least you're safe and at least your kids are safe. At least you're safe. I can't believe he's going to Buffalo Wild Wings for steak dinners. What is going on in the world? Good morning.

Starting point is 00:04:54 How are you? How's the comedy going? I'm very good. I'm old. My blood type's O positive, so I'm at low risk, but I wash my hands and all that stuff. But listen, I've been writing mad jokes here. I got a joke for you. You ready? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Ready. What do you call... Hello? Go ahead. We're ready. Thank you. What do you call the COVID-19 virus with a death rate of 2%? What? The Corona light. Thank you.

Hey, Kiara, get it off your chest. I just want to say that when you guys go to the grocery store, don't come in there with an attitude because that just makes everybody's job harder. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:42 That's right. To everybody who's helping y'all because when y y'all coming out with an attitude, don't nobody want to help y'all? I agree with that. And I'm always extremely appreciative when I go to the supermarket and I see people who are working and stocking the shelves and checking people out and making sure the self-checkout is working well. I'm very grateful and appreciative to see everybody at work.

You're giving out free jewelry that people can use for life, though. You know what I'm saying? When you walk in the room, you can dictate the energy of the room by the energy that you're giving out.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

Starting point is 00:10:48 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Ali from Jacksonville. Ali, what up, bro? Dubon! Already. Hey, listen, I got a question for y'all. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And I just want to hear your opinion about this. It's amazing how white people could call black people the N-word. It's not a big deal. Black people could call white people crock-ass crocker. It's not a big deal. But when somebody speaks their opinion about the LGBT community, that's a big uproar. And that's just somebody speaking their opinion about that.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I'm just trying to see what's the big uproar. If everybody have their opinion, let them speak their opinion. If that's what they want to do, let them do that. They should embrace that's what they are, and it's cool. It should be a big, dramatic uproar. And I just want to hear your opinion about that from both of y'all. Well, white people say the N-word. It is an uproar.
Starting point is 00:11:41 It definitely is. I don't know where you are. Yeah, it is an uproar. Not really. Yes, it is. I don't know where you are. Yeah, it is an uproar. Not really. Yes, it is. People definitely have gotten fired for that. It's not an uproar like the LGBTQ community. What the hell is the LGBT?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Now, that cable package you just talked about is way worse than the basic one. Now, the basic one is LGBT. I don't know why you just got rid of the G. Well, I don't know the alphabet, man, but I just want to hear y'all opinion about that. Like, when Booster said his comment, it was a big uproar. When whoever said anything
Starting point is 00:12:14 what really got me was when Wendell Williams had to apologize for what she said. It's like, come on, man. You can't have an opinion about that? Well, listen, here's the truth to the matter. You got to know who you effing with. You know what I'm saying? You slap somebody in the face, they might slap you back. You slap somebody else in the face, they might punch you and knock you out. You slap somebody else in the face, they
Starting point is 00:12:30 might pull out a gun and shoot you. You got to know who you're dealing with. That's all. And be ready to deal with them. Yeah, I just don't get it, man. Everybody should have their own opinion. There shouldn't be a big deal about it. If that's what they choose to do, that's on them. Let them embrace it and move on.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So listen, why is this the first thing on your mind in the morning, though? No, it's not. I just can't get it. No, yes it is. Yes it is. Have a good one, bro. But why does it matter how other people live their lives anyway? If it doesn't affect you, if you're not part of
Starting point is 00:13:01 the LGBTQ plus community, why does it bother you? Hello, who's this not part of the LGBTQ plus community, like, why does it bother you? Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name, bro? Hello. Money-making Mitch, how y'all doing? Money-making Mitch, you ain't making no money right now.
Starting point is 00:13:15 You ain't making no money in a recession. You crazy. Cut it out, Charlemagne. How you making money? Tell me how you making money. By giving proper advice on how people should be really clean in their house. That's enough money for me to educate these people. Oh, you finessing. Of course. If you really, really, really want to kill this coronavirus,
Starting point is 00:13:36 all hospitals and everybody's home, just start from the sterilization room. Start from the bathroom. Then work your way out. Everything you use in the bathroom, you can use around your whole apartment. Every hospital that's scared, they have training. Sterility is important. So if you just expand your sterilization
Starting point is 00:13:54 department and make the whole hospital sterile, then everything, every item, every equipment, every instrument can actually be used properly. Money-making Mitch, let me ask you a question. People actually paying for this advice? Of course they are. every instrument can actually be used properly. All these numbers... Money-making Mitch, let me ask you a question. People actually paying for this advice?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Of course they are. Cleaning the bathroom? Cleaning your bathroom actually... I agree that you have to do sterilization, but you do know that it's transmitted from person to person, right? Exactly, but it depends on how many people are in your house and do you have a team that's doing sterilization. This is a family.
Starting point is 00:14:23 This isn't people from next door coming into my house. How are you making money off this? Yeah, I'm confused. How do you make money? Oh, you're talking about financial money. I don't need financial money. I don't need no finances. I'm fine. Financial. What other money is there? Yeah, my money's there, but financially
Starting point is 00:14:40 I'm fine. But the other money is the other important money that is information. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is currency. You mean, I get what you're saying. You know, so that right there alone, I'm saving lives by telling people I served in the military 17 years as a
Starting point is 00:14:56 medical officer. I've done all forms of surgery. I've been in so many different situations and we treat every patient. Now, this is the coronavirus. We treat every patient as if they were HIV. Now we and we treat every patient. Now, this is the coronavirus. We treat every patient as if they were HIV. Now we have to treat every patient as if they have HIV, Corona and all these other
Starting point is 00:15:11 symptoms. That's pretty dope because now you have to stay on top of sterility for the rest of your life. You understand? This should be an awakening call. Thank you, brother, for calling, man. I don't understand, but to you know, to each his own. You talking about that type of money?
Starting point is 00:15:28 You talking about financial money? What other money is there? He meant currency, that's all. Oh, currency. Hello, who's this? Hi, guys. It's Maribel, one of the Kelly girls. Hey, one of the Kelly girls.
Starting point is 00:15:41 How are you, Maribel? Good. Uh-huh, guys. It's been a while. Thanks for taking my call today. Not kidding. What's it called? I've been waiting, and no one's been taking my call.
Starting point is 00:15:54 How are you, first of all? How are you and the Kelly girl quarantining? It's terrible. I'm bored out of my mind. We're bored out of our mind. You guys are quarantining together, right? Yeah, we are. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And, I mean, she, well, my sister's keeping up with school, and I'm just kind of doing my own thing, kind of trying to figure out life. Just floating. This is a good time to figure out life, though. This is a great time to figure out life. It is. And that's been on my head. Like, it's just been trying to figure out life.
Starting point is 00:16:26 But it's fine. That's good, baby. And we're glad you're safe. Y'all can stay healthy, all right? Yeah. Oh, shout out to Dante on Top Flight Security. Top Flight Security. Tell him salute.

Starting point is 00:19:51 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. Kelly Rowland. The Godiva chocolate coffee goddess. What's up? How are you Chocolate Coffee Goddess. What's up? How are you? Good morning. What's happening? Good morning. This crazy pandemic.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Uh-huh. How are you holding up in this pandemic? You've been looking amazing and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you. Those first two, three weeks in quarantine, I was learning how to cook and Titan was baking cookies and brownies and stuff every day. I was like, I can't be doing this every day.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I got caught up. I almost got that quarantine 15 and then I had to get my life. How much did you gain? I gained 20, but I lost it though. How much did you gain? I gained at least almost 10 because he was, I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:20:48 he was baking cookies. I have a friend of mine who barbecues, and I love barbecues. So she kept bringing barbecue over here because it was like a comfort food. You know, in a time where it's just so much uncertainty, you want some comfort food. That's exactly what I was doing. And we started making pasta. I learned how to make pasta. I was like, oh, I got this down.
Starting point is 00:21:04 So I made it every other night. Uh-uh. You ain't going to have me. So what's your specialty in the kitchen? Right now, it is the pasta. I've got the pasta down. I made trout and salad. And I just learned how to make oxtails.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Really? Really? Really? Yes, yes. A Jamaican homie showed me how to do it, so I got it. So now we know why the bikini pic came, because you had lost them 15 and you was feeling good about yourself. She said 10, Charlamagne. She said she gained 10, Charlamagne, 10.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Now, how's the baby doing? How is the baby now? Because baby's what, five, six years old? She said 10, Charlamagne. She said she gained 10, Charlamagne, 10. Yeah, I gained 10. Now, how's the baby doing? How is the baby now? Because baby's what, five, six years old now? Right now, no baby. That's not a baby. Mine is still cool. My baby's mine.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I got a six, five, and a three. They're my babies, but go ahead. No, but Enzi, he's not a baby no more. The way he talks to me, Titan is watching documentaries. Like, he is just his own little person, and it's the coolest thing to watch, and I'm just mad I didn't go back-to-back like you
Starting point is 00:22:11 told me. I told you back-to-back. Have another one. I'm mad I didn't go back-to-back. They keep each other company. They in there with each other. They play all day. They only come to me when they gotta eat, and when they gotta go to the bathroom. Other than that, they don't bother me at all.
Starting point is 00:22:27 They just do, well, they bother me in the morning sometimes. But other than that, they're good. Yo, that's the hard part is because, like, me and his dad are his playmates. So it's like, Mommy, can you play with me? And it's the sweetest voice. You can't be a jerk and say, oh, no, or whatever. Like, I have to, like, really, like, stop what I'm doing and have kind of, like, shifted my schedule to, like, around his wake-up time.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You know what I mean? And we've quarantined, like, really tough with another family. So he has his best friend that comes over that's about it. You know, Kelly, I was watching you on Mother's Day, and I was watching you post, like, all your friends and all of y'all have become mothers now and I was like how has motherhood changed the dynamic of your crew? Um, we can
Starting point is 00:23:12 just sit down somewhere, drink wine and watch them play. Word, word. I mean, I think it's really um, I remember when I had Titan and Solange made this post that just made me boom cry. I actually looked over all those and I was crying that day too because it's really awesome to grow up with someone that you've been knowing since you were nine years old or younger.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I know for some folks out there, and y'all get to share life together. That's really a blessing. And I didn't take it for granted. And whether it was women that I knew on my story or women that I didn't know, I just wanted to post mothers. Like, you know what I mean? And it just, like, some of them I've known for a long time and watched grow up, and we've probably done some crazy shit together, but now it's just like we've grown.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And motherhood is a blessing for sure. All right, we got more with Kelly Rowland when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:24:17 We're still kicking it with Kelly Rowland. Charlamagne? Kelly, how do you know when a pick is not a thirst trap? Because you said the bikini pick wasn't a thirst trap. How do you know when it's not? Oh, y'all know. That was's not? Oh, yeah, no. That was a play on words, Charlemagne. Damn.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Got you. Okay. As you take a drink of water. Okay. Exactly. So it did its job, because I saw Rick Ross jump in the comments. What did Rick Ross say?
Starting point is 00:24:40 He said, you got a bright future. That's what he said. What? Did he say that for real? Yes. No, Tim posted, he said, every night I got to prove my love. Do you remember that line from, oh, my God. Was it the five heartbeats?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Was it the five heartbeats? Every night I got to prove my love. I was like, boy, please. He didn't know you were going to post that before you posted it? Or did you be like, I'm about to post this? I'm going to tell him. So what did he say? And how does he feel when all these guys are making these comments like Ross and all?
Starting point is 00:25:18 What is that conversation like? That little glitter like every night I got to prove my love. That's real. That's real. That's real. That's why he got to go out there with them golf clubs. He mad as hell. He stressed out. Then he come back in like, okay, I'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:25:36 What if he blocked you from that? No, no, no. I ain't going nowhere. Tim is my bestest friend. Charlie ain't seen us together. Y'all have seen us together. Yeah, I seen you guys in Houston in the club. What if he posted a thirst trap?
Starting point is 00:25:51 Tim would never do that. What if he put on some gray sweatpants, no shirt? You know, the gray sweatpants pictures that guys do. Oh, the gray sweatpants shirt? I don't think I would care. Don't give him no ideas. Yeah. Don't give him no ideas. Yeah, don't give him no ideas. What if he created an OnlyFans account?
Starting point is 00:26:10 What if he created an OnlyFans account? Wait, wait, wait. Hey, Tim. You gonna put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture? He said, what? You gonna put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture? He said, I ain't don't want to put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture?
Starting point is 00:26:27 He said, I ain't thirst-tripping like you. Me? When the album dropping, Kelly Kel. I don't know. But it is coming. 2020, this year. Wait, wait, wait. Can I just Are you afraid? I'm doing it. 2020, this year. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Can I just say something here? I can say something. I'm paying for everything out of my pocket. Okay. I'm paying for everything out of my pocket. So I'm trying to be smart about everything. About my songs, everything. But I'd like to do a video.
Starting point is 00:26:59 When the hell am I doing a video? I don't know. Oh, wait a minute. You're not on a label? No. Oh, I didn't know that Oh, wait a minute. You're not on the label? No. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. You're just with Roc Nation. Roc Nation is managing you still or partly managing because I know hubby manages. Roc Nation is
Starting point is 00:27:14 managing, yeah. So it's just like really, you know, tricky with, you know, us wanting to do videos, but it's definitely like, man, it ain't gonna happen for a while. But you know what? I've seen people do creative things right now as far as figuring out how to do a video
Starting point is 00:27:30 like G-Eazy had people send in different things and he filmed his part and you have so many people that you could get some really dope content from if you wanted to film something to figure it out. And I did have my assistant hit him, so we'll see what happens with that.
Starting point is 00:27:45 So we got to make sure. I love finding new things and giving people an opportunity. Sounds good. One more thing. Have you seen that old Destiny's Child clip that's floating around the Internet and y'all just talking about all type of birds and s***? Were y'all high in that video? No.
Starting point is 00:28:04 You know good doggone well we were not high enough. It sounded like y'all high in that video no you know good doggone well we were not it sounded like y'all was high though no no that was the 13th hour of the day where i remember they put on our schedule like this whole by the way the reason why we were i feel like truly we were such successful international successful internationally internationally because we put the work in over there. We'd be over there for like seven days in eight different countries and literally just like have interviews all day. And that was the 13th hour of wherever it was where this gentleman's accent was, because I don't remember. It was definitely a blur. And he was asking us all these questions.
Starting point is 00:28:46 So, yeah, when you ask somebody, what kind of animal do you want to be? I hope he ever like, you know, that's not happening. Like, we were deliriously out of
Starting point is 00:29:00 our minds. So, no, I mean, it would definitely probably sound cool to say, yeah, man, we were, but we were not. Far from that. We were just delirious. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:11 It's Kelly Rowland. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we are talking about Eva. She was on Wendy Williams' show, and she talked about her child and changing her child's last name. Let's hear it. Sterling, like everybody else.
Starting point is 00:29:42 She changed her name this past year. It was, we went through a lot's hear it. Sterling, like everybody else. Yes, we legally changed her name this past year. It was, we went through a lot to do it, but. How much more before the actual process is done? Well, the name change is illegal, so now we have to go through the adoption process, and I mean, he's making it a little bit easier for us, acting
Starting point is 00:29:58 crazy in the public. Well, I guess Life Jennings seen that, and he didn't like that too much, huh, you? He said, I think this is so whack changing your daughter's last name from her father's to somebody else's, especially when the father tries to see her. The daughter don't have anything to do with their beef. And what kind of man allows that ish piss me off. So we're asking 805-85-1051.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Is it acceptable to change your child's last name? What do you think, Charlamagne? I mean, I got to know the context of the situation. You know what I'm saying? If you're doing it just out of spite, just because you don't like your baby daddy because he don't want to be with you and you got a new man now, that's whack. But I mean, if you got a deadbeat daddy.
Starting point is 00:30:32 What about if it's a deadbeat daddy? The dad's not around. The dad is not taking care of the child. I have no problem with that whatsoever. By the way, the son of the daughter shouldn't want to wear the name of a deadbeat. Yeah, I don't know either situation, but, you know, with Kevin McCall, I mean, we all know Kevin McCall has problems mentally,
Starting point is 00:30:50 but it does seem like he is trying to take care of his daughter. It seems like he goes to court. I just don't know. I don't know if he's abusive. I don't know. You know what I mean? But in a situation, if there is a deadbeat dad, and I'm taking it away from that situation,
Starting point is 00:31:01 if the dad is not in the child's life, and he's not even helping no way whatsoever, no, I say change that name immediately. What do you think, E? Well, legally, if a woman wants to change her children's last names, she either has to get consent from the biological father, and if he doesn't give consent, he can object to it,
Starting point is 00:31:19 and then she has to get a petition and then go to court, and he can show up to court and say he doesn't want that to happen, and then the judge has to decide. so that's how it goes down legally but i do feel like whoever um is the father if the mother chooses to do that and the father is causing issues or he's not in the child's life we're not holding up his responsibilities and he's not really a dad and if the last name is zimmerman you definitely want to change that you don't want to walk around with that last name goodness gracious hello. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:31:46 Sheila from Jersey. So what do you think? Is it acceptable to change your child's last name? No, I don't agree with that. Okay, go ahead. No matter how much you don't like your kid's dad, or no matter how crazy he might act, or no matter what he does,
Starting point is 00:31:59 changing the last name is not going to change the DNA. It's not going to change who the father is. So you have to get over that. And on top of that, like, you're falsifying an image of somebody that's not true. Like, that's not her dad. And if one day it doesn't work out between you two, now he legally is her dad, and that's not really her dad. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Like, it's just stupid. It's petty. It doesn't make the other person your dad. They would have to actually adopt the children so that the kids aren't adopted, even if you're married, right? No, but I'm talking about, like, the image that you're portraying to your children. Now, what if your kids are like, I want to have the same last name as you and my dad, you know, the stepfather? Well, I mean, that's a choice that they have to make, and the two parents should come to a, you know, to a middle ground with. That would be their choice. But if they're not old enough to make those type of decisions, just saying that because
Starting point is 00:32:48 whatever the situation is, you know, like some kids, they grow up and they're told this is their dad, this is their dad. And that's what they think, you know, like. Okay. What if the biological father is absent from the children's life? Me personally, I don't agree in that. My father was not in my life either, and my mother still maintained
Starting point is 00:33:09 our last name as his. I mean, I guess that would be up to the child when they grow up to decide if they want to do that or not. Okay. Thank you, Mama. I just wouldn't do that. Okay. Hello, who's this? This is Boom from Dayton, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Hey, is it acceptable to change a child's last name? I think it just really depends on the circumstances. You know, my daughter, her father is not in her life and has never been in her life, which is fine, but she still has his last name. And I don't tell her, like, bad things about her dad you know she can find out on her own just like my mom told me about my dad but um i don't think a name defines a person now if you have you know someone new in your life and they you want to spend the rest of
Starting point is 00:34:01 their life with you and you know you know you and your kids are a package deal. And if that dad is not, you know, in that child's life, I don't see a problem with it being. But, you know, then you got these bitter baby moms. You know, you got these, you know, baby moms that, you know, couldn't change the man's life with a child. And, you know, being used as a tactic to attack. Right. You know, so, you know, a baby is not a pawn, you know. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:34 So whatever that child's name is, leave that baby alone. Okay. But, you know, I think it is also like, as we always talk about women taking the husband's name after marriage, I think for kids, if you live in a house with the mom and the stepfather, and that's who you know is your dad and you call him dad, you might want to have the same last name. Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Nathan out of Orlando, Florida. Good morning, Ashley.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Good morning. What up, bro? Peace, King. Is it acceptable to change a child's last name, brother? Nah, nah, brother. I don't think it is, man. I want to share and expand. I'm glad you got picked up.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I actually had an ex-wife who tried to do that to me. And I would like to use her government, if that's okay with y'all. Just the first name, please. Sandra. Okay. I don't know. South Carolina. Child of Maine.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I already know. You got you a nice country-ass dad. Yep. Tried to do that to your boy. And I think that's hateful and disrespectful to a man. I don't think another wife should do anything like that. Were you in your child's life? Are you in your child's life?
Starting point is 00:35:31 I am in my child's life. I love my kids very much. I'm a Virgo. You already know how we do. That's right. Love our kids. Okay. Take care of our home.
Starting point is 00:35:37 So what happened? Did she try to do it legally and then you blocked it? She talked about trying to do it. She got a lawyer to try to do it, and then I, you know, kind of paid a little bit of money out there, and, you know, they dropped the whole thing. Okay. All right, well, thank you, brother. So what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is that every
Starting point is 00:35:53 case is different, though, and there's no one-size fits all when it comes to family. So I think whatever decision you make, it always has to be in the best interest of your children and not in your own selfish best interest. The moral of the story is y'all better stop picking who y'all meet with like y'all rolling dice in the back of a moving goddamn pickup truck. OK, that's what y'all better stop doing.
Starting point is 00:36:15 All right. Take care of your kids. Exactly. When you lay down with these when you lay down with people, man, you know, think about spending the rest of your life with this person because you never know. This person might give you a disease you can't get rid of. This person give you a baby or better yet you might grow to love this person and be married to him the rest of your life either way that's all forever just pick the right forever when you're dealing with these people okay all right we got more coming up next we're the breakfast club the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest on the line. Friends in the room.
Starting point is 00:36:47 D.L. Hughley. Welcome, sir. Hey, man. I'm glad y'all still made it. I'm glad y'all all right. We all right, right? We haven't left the house. I don't know about you.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Oh, yeah. Well, you know, here's the thing. I go to work and I come back. Because we're doing the TV show and the radio show. So I'm the only dude I know that would build a set during the middle of a coronavirus. But, yeah, we go to work every day. Now, of course, even though I work with my daughter, I haven't hugged her in three weeks, three months. But, you know.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Really? No. What precautions do you take? You put a mask on? Yeah. A mask, gloves, the whole thing. Except when I'm broadcasting, then I don't. But other than that, when we're shooting, other than that, we just kind of.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I think I just I'm really sad because even though you see the deaths going up, this drive. And I understand it because ultimately your answer can't just be everybody stay home. But it's just sad that the fact that it's the people who are dying that the American population are not uncomfortable with. Old people, black people. And black people. Poor people. Yeah, I mean, you know what?
Starting point is 00:37:54 The one thing we'll never run out of is poor black people or poor brown people. So I figure they figure we're expendable. You know, it's a crazy deal. We had the same thought because I said that I saw you post this on Instagram. And literally, like, I might have posted it seconds after. But I said, you know, America's economy is an omelet. And poor people and black and brown people are eggs. And they don't mind breaking a few eggs to make that goddamn omelet.
Starting point is 00:38:17 The one thing they'll never run out of is poor black and brown people. That's the one thing we have. And old people, like, if you look at who's coming down with diseases, primarily people in prison, people who work in meatpacking plants or in close proximity, old people, and black and brown people. And America's like, man, why should I not
Starting point is 00:38:36 have a mall open because the undesirable, the people that we have to figure out where to warehouse are dying. And I think it's really America's real life nature selection of the purge. Who do you trust and who do you listen to when it comes to what's going on during this pandemic? Because I was watching your show and I was watching you talk about Dr. Fauci and talk about Donald Trump. And basically, Dr. Fauci is a co-defendant, right, for Donald Trump because he's not stepping in.
Starting point is 00:39:08 He has to be. Ultimately, you know the kind of people who listen to that man. And he needs to be challenged directly. And I think when a man like that tells you that, well, first off, I didn't mind him saying, you know, them ingesting disinfectants because the bleach is perfect for the Trump supporters because it works great on whites and it's hell on colors. So it's a...
Starting point is 00:39:31 But when that man... He wasn't in there when he made that particular statement, but look at all the statements that took flight that he later on went on other avenues and then tried to correct as opposed to doing it right there. The oath he took was not to an administration. The oath he took was to do no harm.
Starting point is 00:39:52 And he does harm when he sits there and he lets those things happen. And what he wanted to avoid was him being silent, and he has been. And I think it's just cowardice. I think you're a doctor. Anytime somebody – what happened to the other disease that he touted? The other drug that he touted? Hydrochloroquine or whatever that is. Hydrochloroquine.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Hydrochloroquine. If you spend the last few weeks listening to the president, look how many people would be dead. Like literally just listening to him. So you can't be the greatest nation in the world when you can't listen to your leader, when they go, no, don't listen to him. So you can't be the greatest nation in the world when you can't listen to your leader, when they go, no, don't listen to him. And you sit there and say it, and you're an accomplice, you just let it happen.
Starting point is 00:40:32 It's insane to me. And I think that he has been able to manipulate, you know, senators and congressmen, and now the medical establishment, and I think it's to America's detriment. Now, what do you think about Joe Biden right now? And, you know, because right now it's either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. What are your thoughts on Biden? Well, I can't wait to vote for Joe Biden. I'm going to wait.
Starting point is 00:40:55 No, I wouldn't risk my life, you know, going to the mall, but I would vote for Joe Biden, I'm telling you. And this whole Tara Reade thing and whether he did what she said, America in four years ago, three or four years ago, I'm telling you. And this whole Tara Reid thing and whether he did what she said. America in four years ago, three or four years ago, decided that sexual assault was not that sexual assault was not. You could not be excluded from the presidency for being a sexual assaulter. They already said that. They already said you grab all you want. You can do whatever you want. We don't care about that.
Starting point is 00:41:28 So I don't care about it now. If you didn't care about it it then let's not make that a prerequisite for being the president right now and i think ultimately if you look what america needs more than anything else is somebody who pays attention to science and more than anything else they need somebody who's empathic somebody who gives a if people are dying not one time has this dude said, I'm sorry. Not one of his hotels is open to take coronavirus. Nothing. Nothing. Not one modicum of sympathy or, listen, in America right now, before we're done with this conversation, thousands of people would be dead, and this nation doesn't look like it's mourning at all.
Starting point is 00:42:00 It doesn't look like it gives a f**k at all. I agree with you, D.L., but I don't think none of them care. And the reason I don't think none of them care is because at the end of the day, all of them care about the bottom line, which is the economy. Now, how they present it may be different. Some of them might be straight up with you and be like, hey, mother******* is going to die. Others might be like, that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:42:18 What's happening? But you know what? Let's reopen. But that's not too much different than us. Like, literally, I care about the economy, but I know things got to get back. It's unsustainable to have people warehouse or shelved in their homes. But ultimately, you have to have people – when you ask to leave people, you've got to at least care about them.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Right. I mean, like, you know that if you take a drug, it can hurt. Even if you give a vaccine out or you issue a drug, for some people that drug may be detrimental. It may cause them harm. But it doesn't mean you don't try to do the best you can for as many people as you can. Who has he done the best for? Literally.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Who does he care about? Rich people. He doesn't even care about his own people. Literally, he'll sacrifice them. You literally have somebody every day. People are dying and all he talks about is he stood up. When he did the Lincoln, the interview in front of Lincoln, mother******, you talking about
Starting point is 00:43:14 how bad it was in front of a mother****** who got shot. Got a shot. Got his head blowing off. He got shot. Alright, we have more with D.L. Hughley. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Roll another one.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with D.L. Hughley. Yee. What do you think about people discussing, quote, holding your vote hostage because they want to make sure that... Don't say people.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Diddy. Me. Yeah, but there's a lot of people that are agreeing with that. So people are saying that. And a lot of people agree to anything. There was a lot of... If somebody said they were Jesus, a thousand other people would take up the call. So that's
Starting point is 00:43:56 stupid. But it's dumb. Black people are dying from this. Black people. So maybe... And Puffy's statement was irresponsible and deadly. I'll tell you this. Black people are dying disproportionately from this. We are. Us, our grandfathers,
Starting point is 00:44:12 our mothers, our fathers. So maybe what we get right away is somebody who isn't concerned that we are dying. Maybe we get to f***ing survive. How about that? How about take that, take that. How about we survive? How about we get somebody that we're dying by the dozens and nobody gives a f*** about it. How about that? How about take that? Take that. How about we survive? How about somebody that we're dying by the dozens and nobody gives a fuck about it? How about that? How about I pick somebody who at least will pretend to give up?
Starting point is 00:44:33 I have to respectfully disagree with you, DL. I think that I don't think there's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote, because let's be clear. Black people aren't dying because of coronavirus. Black people are dying because of systemic racism. The underlying conditions of systemic racism that America has laid down for decades and decades and decades that nobody from any government, any particular party has helped us with. All they've done is contribute to the systemic racism that exists in the black and brown community. So it don't matter if it's coronavirus, cancer, diabetes, whatever the next disease is going to be, we're going to always be vulnerable until we change that.
Starting point is 00:45:08 And you know what we need to change? Participation. More people didn't vote than did. More people didn't vote than did. And maybe what we need to ask, and if you're going to make an ask, what is it we all collectively want? There you go. You can say, I've got to get something for my vote. But if you're something, there should be at least collectively things that we can all collectively want. There you go. You can say, I got to get something for my vote, but if you're something, there should be
Starting point is 00:45:26 at least collectively things that we can all agree on. But if your ask is different than my ask, then we don't, neither one of us get quite what we want,
Starting point is 00:45:35 then we say, I won't participate. Listen, us not participating is the best thing in the world and it contributes to what we go through
Starting point is 00:45:43 right now. You have to participate regardless. It doesn't matter in terms of the resources that are allocated. It matters now. So even if we are poor and we're in the situation we're in, our educational situation, the prison system, is as much a lack of participation on our part and showing up on our part
Starting point is 00:46:01 as any other factors that we have to deal with. We already know they don't want us to do it. But to say to me that I'm just going to sit there and nobody's doing anything, so I'll just sit here. You know, in a movie called The Edge, he said that most people die of shame, and that's inactivity. And us doing anything,
Starting point is 00:46:18 us doing nothing, is the proper solution? I don't agree. I agree with you, but I would say this, though. I would say this, though. You know, you look at it like this. I don't want people to feel like, well, the blacks will vote for me because I'm better than Trump. That's not a reason to vote for somebody. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:34 And that's my only fear. Like, I feel like when we put that pressure on Joe Biden a little bit, then all of a sudden he did lift your every voice. He came with the black agenda. You know what I mean? And I feel like we have to continue to put pressure on people and make sure we get what we want because now it's not. We're not just voting for you because we don't want to vote for Trump.
Starting point is 00:46:52 We want to vote for you because we feel like you're going to do something for our people and our kids and our community. What do we want? Collectively, what do we want? What is it? I would like to see some form of economic justice. We know this country is never going to give us reparations but like to see some form of economic justice. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:47:06 We know this country is never going to give us reparations, but it can be some type of equity plan. It can be some type of equity plan that we put money into these poor and disenfranchised communities to make the schools better, to make the housing better, you know, to make the hospitals better, to give people access to better health care. That's a level of specificity. I think proper and adequate education for all of our children. I think that our women, that we shouldn't have inadequate health care. I think those are asked, but just to say in a nebulous way that you've got to give me something. It's so nebulous.
Starting point is 00:47:37 It's like a woman telling you, make me happy without giving you any guidelines. Right. You know you've got to eat that pussy, DL. any guidelines. Right. You know you got to eat that DL. Goodness gracious. Goodness. But you know, if you look at the pandemic, let's be honest, right? There's some people that have saliva coming out their
Starting point is 00:47:55 mouth because they know how much money they're going to make. If you have money, you rich, the white people, they're making millions and billions off this pandemic. But it's us that have the small businesses that are never open again. That is us that can never pay our mortgage and not be able to, you know, we'll lose our mortgage and lose our cars and not be able to go to school because we can't afford it.
Starting point is 00:48:14 So how do we help ourselves? That's what I want to know. We got to help our own. That is the specificity that will help us. But just saying I'm not doing this to you is a big thing. You've got to ask them for what a quiet mouth don't get fed. Now, what you feel that mouth with is what we're arguing about.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Listen, you're absolutely right. It's amazing that the very people who are now essential workers are the very motherfuckers we were trying to send off. Like, look at the people who are dying. You're absolutely right. It's disgraceful when I watch them point a camera at a thousand kids, children, who stand in front of Michael Jordan to get Michael Jordan at the mall.
Starting point is 00:48:52 What about the people who open the fucking mall? What about the people that... Because we put child-proof caps on medicine just for dumb-ass kids. But when I watch a white person in the United States walk around with a guy without a mask on, children do what they're supposed to. I just don't understand how, at one point, you'll arrest people
Starting point is 00:49:13 for not social distancing, but you won't arrest two white men to slaughter the black man. All these are reasonable acts, but to say unless you do this for me without a level of specificity is a nebulous thing. I don't understand that. We need their ask that we should all
Starting point is 00:49:30 as black and brown people be able to agree. I agree with that. I think that, you know, what Diddy did wrong, what he did wrong was he said a black agenda, but he didn't specify what it was. If you're going to ring that kind of alarm, you should have something ready to go right then and there. That I agree with. Now, D.L., one thing that I've been saying that I really pay attention to is who is also going to be working with you.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Who's going to be the vice president? Who else are you appointing to positions of power that I know that I can trust? So who would you like to see as vice president? I mean, I think there are any number of people. But ultimately, it's a political calculation because if you pick the senator and then that seat becomes vulnerable, then you erode some of your power. Like, so there are – first off, I wouldn't like to see Amy Klobuchar. I just – No.
Starting point is 00:50:14 No. She makes white women go, hey, hey. Yes. And people gave Kamala hell for her record as a prosecutor. Go look at Klobuchar's record as a prosecutor. I think you're absolutely right. I like Kamala as a, I had my questions with her, and I actually got a chance to talk to her and have my questions about her.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I think she would be excellent. I think Elizabeth Warren, despite the fact that I think she would be excellent, but that does pose a problem of having a vulnerable seat. I think people are talking about Stacey Abrams. Now, I don't know her governor. I don't know what she has done in terms of governance. But the bottom line is, when you're making this more so than any other vice president, a nominee, a vice presidential selection, people, it's kind of like a literal cosigner, like kind of like he needs somebody that galvanizes
Starting point is 00:51:02 people. So this is probably the most important vice president to election. I would say that that is one of the instances where we see what he thinks about the people who are supporting him. And I think the one thing that is readily apparent in this whole thing, I don't think a woman should be vice president. I think a woman should be president. Because if you look at the land by women,
Starting point is 00:51:21 less of them are dying. Their economy is less than shambled. And I think it's ultimately time to dispel the notion, even the cities that women run, they're people. Because I think there's a modicum of empathy and common sense that men have ceded
Starting point is 00:51:36 that women have not. And I think whoever he picks as vice president needs to be fully capable and ready to be president day one. That's right. Joe Biden might die at any moment. Yeah. Vice president needs to be fully capable and ready to be president day one. If something happens. That's right. The Joe Biden might die at any moment. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:49 It's possible. Every one of the people running for president looks like they are under the more than none of them should be outside. None of them. Especially, especially with the coronavirus outbreak. They keep talking about it. It kills elderly people.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Well, what are y'all? Oh my God. In the Congress, I'm going to go back to where you better stay your old ass home. Alright, well, don't move. We got more with D.L. Hughley. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with D.L. Hughley. Now, D.L., have you seen the Jordan documentary, Last Dance? And how do you think about the fact that he is around his team? And are you like that around your team? I think that his single-mindedness was something that we all,
Starting point is 00:52:39 and ultimately, I think that everybody embodies some of that. But I think that Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan primarily because of his great work ethic. But I don't think he would have been beloved in the social media era. Like when we know everything about you, we know what you did, we know what you said. Part of any measure of greatness is what you're up against. And what he was up against was not the backdrop of social media. So I think what he did in terms of his single-mindedness,
Starting point is 00:53:06 but I thought what he did to Scottie Pippen was bullsh**. If we didn't know, like, then if you do your teammate your supposed ace like that,
Starting point is 00:53:14 where you're not supportive of him, people would have a different affirmation of that. They'd be like, hey, nigga, you out. That's out of pocket. So I think he was
Starting point is 00:53:21 a great athlete, and I think that you have to have, he was a great athlete, a less desirable human being to me. I thought he was – I didn't like how they was tiptoeing around race on the episode when they was talking about why they was attacking Michael Jordan. Like, y'all know good or what, there wasn't care about no gambling. That was a powerful black man.
Starting point is 00:53:39 That's what they do to you. They tear you down. Right. But you can't expect people to involve that when that's never been your conversation, man. Like, he also wants the Republicans by a tennis shoe. If you want somebody to get your back, you got to get theirs sometime, too. You got to be involved in the struggles that matter to other people so they don't be involved in your struggles. You can't just, everything can't be about you.
Starting point is 00:54:01 And I think that that's what's going on. But I'll tell you what, I've been watching spectacular documentaries. Spectacular. John Coltrane and Lee Morgan. There's some dope things. And I watched Tiger King. Let me tell you something. When I learned from that, if you pet a tiger long enough, eventually you're going to want to f*** a dude.
Starting point is 00:54:18 That's what I was like. What? I don't understand that. That's all you got from that? I threw out my Detroit Tigers hat. Are you f***ing with me? Oh, man, DL, you are crazy, man. You know what I was going to say to you, DL?
Starting point is 00:54:44 I was going to say, what are you going to do without stand-up for the next few months? How are you going to stay sharp? Well, you know, I get to do the radio every day. But this shit literally writes itself. I was watching Jerome Adams, who was another, that whole Surgeon General dude. Because the one thing that I hate is every time something happens, even though the international pandemic is raging, every time
Starting point is 00:55:09 something happens to black people, it's always our fault. Like, it's our fault. Like, everybody else is dying, but you are f***ing yourself. When that dude said he started drinking and smoking and alcohol, I'm like, well, f***, you can't make me stay home and tell me I can't drink and smoke and do drugs.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But it's been hard, too. But I'm learning. well, you can't make me stay home and tell me I can't drink and smoke and do drugs. But it's been hard, too. But I'm learning. Look, I baked cookies last night. You did? Regular cookies or weed cookies? I've been cooking for my old lady. Yeah, for sure. So when is the last time you've been home for this long of a period of time, D.L.?
Starting point is 00:55:41 Never. I just tell her that last night. I'm like, I'm waking up with the same woman. What kind of thing is this? Who does this? Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. You better stop. You'll get your ass in trouble. I don't know why you shut up, suck it out of the phone. D.L., cut it out.
Starting point is 00:55:56 We don't do that. Black men don't cheat. Come on now. Stop now. I know she's sick of you, D.L. When they open this world back up, how long is it going to take you to go out and really start doing these shows again? Hey, man, listen, the last show I did
Starting point is 00:56:11 was three days before they closed. I was in Texas, in San Antonio, three days before it closed down. I think ultimately it ain't going to be entertainers do what they do, and I think that even when they open it up, there's a certain, like, you dig your gig and you want to be saved, but at a certain, like, you dig your gig and you want to be saved.
Starting point is 00:56:26 But at a certain point, you itch to be what you were. And so it'll be more a question of when people feel comfortable coming out. But for me, this is what I've been. Pandemic or not, this is who I am. And so I just, I can't wait to be on stage and say the things that I say and do the things I do. But I want more than anything else for people to feel a sense of safety. I think everybody wants normalcy. I think it's something that's a bridge too far.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I don't know that we'll ever have that again because we have a memory of what things were like. But I think a level of safety where people feel more secure. And I think that despite political differences, there are people who actually seem to care about, like your governor seems to give a ****. He seems to give a ****. Yeah, he does. I think our governor seems to give a ****.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I think Whitmer and Michigan seems to care. So at least having a caring, sober, thoughtful group of leaders, I think will contribute to people feeling safer. And then that contributes to getting back to a similar sort of life we recognize. She might be vice president, too, Governor Whitmer. That's what I'm hearing. She let a redneck call the governor. She on Flint.
Starting point is 00:57:42 She's up. I got that. One more thing before we go, D. Yesterday, everybody jumped on Tyra Banks, all that old shit she said on America's Next Top Model. To me, that is the dumbest shit in the world. And the reason I say that, it's like I was speeding on a highway. The speed limit used to be 70.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Now it's 55. But you're sending me speeding tickets from 20 years ago. When the speed limit was 70, I was doing goddamn 70. It's actually what they did with Eddie Murphy's Raw. That s*** was funny, and then we gave things by our prism of today. And if we're gonna do that, let's go all the way back. Let's not just do things like that,
Starting point is 00:58:16 but I think you can't, like I said, prisoner of now bulls***. I think we are. It's the whole thing I was just speaking of. It's collective. Be who the f*** you are. Be how you feel. Obviously, there are going to be consequences, but this whole notion that we all have to think
Starting point is 00:58:32 alike and we all have to think things are wrong. I remember when Snoop said what he said about Gayle King. I didn't think he was calling everybody names. I didn't think it was everybody. I thought it was her, but there are people who hear that and go, I feel bad. Well, my f***er wasn't talking to you.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Like, why do I have to, like, it's when black people say, when a black dude, it makes us all look bad. No, it makes that n***a look bad. I don't know. But, you know, but there is also nothing wrong for taking accountability.
Starting point is 00:59:03 If you feel, you might feel like, you look at it from somebody else's point of view and feel like, you know what, I get it. Because sometimes that does happen too. Empathy is different than taking it on as a martyr. Empathy is different. Like, everybody loved Jesus. Wasn't nobody holding with that cross. Ain't nobody did that. That's right.
Starting point is 00:59:18 So, empathy is different. But now we have this whole mindset where we don't have, and it's a false one because if you had told me and I feel like you called me a name, I don't then commensurately feel like you owe me money when you make money off of your creativity. So I just think individuals are individuals and people say things that are out of line and casting people off and judging them for what they've said in one moment. Even with Puff said, as angry as it may be, he's done a lot of great shit too. So it's not that. But I think you've got to be who you are. And that's why I dig this space.
Starting point is 00:59:56 As dangerous and precarious as this is, I love this part. Like I was telling my wife, I said, I am nervous, but I feel more comfortable in a situation like this than I, than I almost ever had. Absolutely. Well, definitely. Thank you for checking in. We appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:00:13 And if we will, if we learned one thing from you today, we learn, get rid of all your Detroit tiger gear and hats and everything. That's, that's one thing. Don't pet no goddamn tigers, bro. It's a bumperster. I'm telling you the same thing. Don't pet no goddamn tigers, bro. Let me tell you something. It's a bumper shirt. Pet a tiger, f***ing dude. I'm telling you, it's the same thing. I can't.
Starting point is 01:00:30 See, I can't. You're going too far. Hey, no. He got a point, though. Because after Mike Tyson, remember when Mike Tyson had that white tiger? Shortly after that, he made that statement. He said, I'll f*** you till you love me. He told us he said that to another man.
Starting point is 01:00:43 There you go. I think we should leave right there. Yeah. Well, Mike Tyson, he said, I'll f*** you till you love me. He told us he said that to another man. There you go. I think we should leave right there. Yeah. Well, Mike Tyson, he said it. That's a symbiotic relationship. And D, I'll make sure you give our love to Jasmine and shout out to your hairline, by the way. Your hairline is amazing. Yeah, you see it.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Tell Charlamagne to take his hat off. Tell Charlamagne to take his hat off. I'll take mine off. Charlamagne, take your hat off, bro. Take your hat off, Charlamagne. I don't follow the crowd. Neither does your hair. Neither does your hair, Lauren. All right. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:01:13 You're horrible motherfuckers. It's D.L. Hughley. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the day donkeys of the day i'm a democrat so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed question so like a donkey now i've been called a lot in my 23 years but donkey of the day is a new one donkey of the day goes to nfl commissioner roger goodell now if you look around the world you have a bunch of white people
Starting point is 01:01:50 who are going out of their way to prove that they love black people and not just black culture all right everybody wants to have conversations about ridding the world of systemic racism everyone wants to discuss creating a new system because we all know the system of white supremacy does not work for everybody look i'm on record saying um you know ain't no good gonna come to america until they do right by black people period poo god has given america the opportunity to right his wrongs god has given america the opportunity to reverse his bad karma so i'm not upset at the white folks and white companies. I see tweeting and posting memes, doing videos like Roger Goodell did because Roger Goodell has the right idea because one of the first ways to reverse bad karma
Starting point is 01:02:34 is to write a letter or call those who you have wronged in the past. So that's a good first step for Roger. Okay, I'm going to let you hear what Roger had to say and then I'm going to use Roger Goodell as a moment to teach because these white folks at these corporations need teaching. Let's hear it. We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black people.
Starting point is 01:02:58 We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the National Football League, believe black lives matter. I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much needed change in this country. Without black players, there would be no National Football League. And the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff. We are listening. I am listening.
Starting point is 01:03:38 And I will be reaching out to players who have raised their voices and others on how we can improve and go forward for a better and more united NFL family? Well, the first player he has to reach out to is Colin Kaepernick. If he doesn't do that, it's a half-assed apology. You have to personally apologize to Colin Kaepernick. You also have to admit that he was blackballed. And if it wasn't a strategic, intentional blackball, when they noticed no owners were attempting to sign him, nobody at the top intervene to say that's wrong. Make sure he plays. OK, I got a question for the NFL.
Starting point is 01:04:15 How many black people on the board of directors of the NFL? There's only one black GM in the NFL. The NFL got three black coaches, zero black owners, but players make up over 70 percent of the league, 70 percent of the league, but zero percent of the NFL. The NFL got three black coaches, zero black owners, but players make up over 70% of the league. 70% of the league, but 0% of the ownership. If you want to dismantle white supremacy, you want to change systemic racism, how about dismantle that good old boy mentality in the NFL, Roger Goodell? Not to mention, I don't like people getting no light bulb moments in the NFL because Colin Kaepernick rarely talks, but he talked at the beginning of this peaceful protest a few years ago and he told you exactly why he was protesting.
Starting point is 01:04:48 So no way Roger Goodell or anyone else in the NFL could have missed that. Let's hear what Colin had to say for the millionth time because I finally think y'all are listening. I mean, ultimately it's to bring awareness and make people, you know, realize what's really going on in this country. There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust, people aren't being held accountable for, and that's something that needs to change.
Starting point is 01:05:11 That's something that this country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all, and it's not happening for all right now. When there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, and this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand. There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically is police brutality. There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. You know, I have great respect for men and women that have fought for this country. I have family, I have friends that have gone and fought for this country
Starting point is 01:05:42 and they fight for freedom. They fight for the people. They fight for liberty and justice for everyone. And that's not happening. Simple, simple. And for the record, if you wonder why black people have a problem with patriotism, it's because we know the creeds in America don't fully relate to us. Freedom, justice, equality. That's not fully for black people. Liberty and justice for all. Nope. It's liberty and justice for white folks. We know that. So how can you expect us to feel patriotic when this country has shown us time and time again that the rules for white America don't apply to black America? But I'm not here to talk about that supremacy, that you want to abolish systemic racism, well, then pop the hood. Let's see what's in this engine, because if there's no black parts underneath that engine making that cargo, then you are a liar. OK, if you love if your love for blackness isn't reflected in your place of business, then all these corporations are full of it. Okay. Your corporation is full of it. If your love of so-called blackness isn't reflected in your
Starting point is 01:06:49 place of business. All right. Don't scream black lives matter. If you don't have a lot of black hires, okay. Using the hashtag black lives matter is great, but what type of black economic opportunities are you providing for black people? We don't need, I love black people, tweets and memes and videos. Those are great. They make us feel good. But what about things that make us actually good? Okay?
Starting point is 01:07:12 I love seeing massive donations. I want to see more massive donations from these corporations with no strings attached. All right? I'm about all that from these corporations. But if you have a corporation and you know damn well your business doesn't reflect the Black Lives Matter stuff you're preaching, then shut the F up forever. Okay, don't let Black Lives Matter turn to Black Lives Marketing for some of these corporations,
Starting point is 01:07:32 because that's all it is. This is marketing and promo for so many of these companies. But we're not going to let y'all tweet and just walk away. We got questions. How many black people work at your place of business? How many black people have senior roles in your company? How many black people on your board? what does your black representation look like i personally feel like if black people make up 13 of the population we should have 13 representation
Starting point is 01:07:54 in all industries via equity ownership involvement do you have black people at your company who are outperforming the white people but the white people still make more money than the black people why is that? Until that changes in these corporations, then guess what? Corporations, you are still practicing systemic racism. Period. Poo.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Please give these corporations and Roger Goodell the biggest hee-haw. You can't even use the term unconscious bias no more. You can't use that term anymore because you are awake. You are conscious. You are very aware of what's happening out here in these streets. And you want to change things? Simply look at your highest.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Simple as that. White America. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Oh, yes, ma'am. Thank you, brother. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, brother.
Starting point is 01:08:44 What is that? What is that? I'm just trying to confuse you. that donkey today. Oh, yes, ma'am. Thank you, brother. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, brother. What is that? What is that? Just trying to confuse you. That's all. You're doing a good job. All right. We got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:08:53 The Breakfast Club. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Cookie. Cookie! Cookie from out of Florida, Broward County. I know you talking about us, Charlamagne. I don't know what you're talking about. What's up, Cookie? All right, Cookie, what's good?
Starting point is 01:09:27 What's your question for Yeezy? Okay, my question is, me and my husband, we rap. Like, we spit bars. Like, we really got bars, man. But we up there in age. We've been spitting for a long time. We 32. And we just wondering if we should keep trying.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Are you any good? You want to hear me? Yeah, go ahead. Let's hear it. Let's hear good? You want to hear me? I got one. Yeah, go ahead. Let's hear it. Let's hear something, Cookie. All right, you can hear it. C-double-O-K-E.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Now, you don't know me. Yeah, you may see me, but you can never beat me. And you can never beat me in a hip-hop battle. Soon as you see me, fool, better skedaddle. Survive with a paddle. I'll swim through the river. Meaning I can make it through whatever life the ****. I make it quick, but every time I speak rhymes,
Starting point is 01:10:04 that's your man on my hinds Cookie Black is a dime Yo, I love the comedy rap, yo You really made me laugh The comedy rap is dope This is Ask Yee Yee, what do you think? So, Cookie, a couple things here
Starting point is 01:10:21 Have you made any type of progress With your career as a rapper? I've performed a couple places I mean Have you made any type of progress with your career as a rapper? I performed a couple places. I mean, I performed at the Hard Rock a while ago. It was big. Well, at the time I was working there, but we did like an employee talent show, and I won both times. I won both times, though.
Starting point is 01:10:39 I performed at a few places, you know, locally and stuff like that. Now, keep it real, Cookie. Have you been going really, really hard to pursue your dream? Been trying, yes. You know, get knocked down a couple times. You know, we went to an event in Orlando, and it was like, oh, you know, people not really check for older rappers right now. I'm like, yo, but I've been doing this for so long,
Starting point is 01:11:03 and it just so happened that some opportunities are coming out right now, I'm like, yo, but I've been doing this for so long and it just so happened that some opportunities are coming out right now. You know, where you can, you know, this artist showcase and this artist showcase and um... Have you been recording music in the studio anywhere though? Yes, you can go on the Instagram at
Starting point is 01:11:19 GruEntertainmentLLC. Man, just tell her she sucks and to get a job here. I just want to say, I don't think that being in your 30s is a reason to not pursue your career as far as being an artist. If you're really great at it and if you go really hard at it. You know what I'm saying? I think sometimes people want things to happen and they do a showcase here and there, but they're not going super hard. Because people who really want to be in this industry have to really live, breathe, eat, sleep it, like do everything they can to make it happen. So that's why I was asking you, are you doing everything that you can? Have you been going really hard or is this something that
Starting point is 01:11:53 you've been doing kind of, you know, here and there, but not really pursuing? Yeah, I've been trying to go hard. I really have been trying to, of course, you know, with my age, you know, I eventually had children and stuff like that. But I still, I think I've still got bars. I'm still ready to put in the work. You don't. Nah, I don't suck, man. You do.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Learn to trade. You know what I'm saying? Do you have a job? Yeah, I got a job. There you go. Get another one. Work, baby. I just don't want you to use age as an excuse.
Starting point is 01:12:21 We know an artist right now that's putting out his first ever album. He's in his 40s. You know what I'm saying? So I don't want you to use age as an excuse. We know an artist right now that's putting out his first ever album. He's in his 40s. You know what I'm saying? So I don't think that's ever. He's good. Exactly. Steven, the white man in the room said, but he's good. Because you're talking about Jay Electronica.
Starting point is 01:12:34 He's good. So what I'm saying is. Hold on. So you're saying I'm not good? Oh, my God. That's what you've been saying for the last seven minutes. I'm clocking out of this conversation. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Well, listen. Give everybody your Instagram. Everybody is going to weigh in and go and look at your music that you have posted and let you know what they think. This is a great opportunity for you to get some feedback. That's right. Give them your Instagram so people can go tell you the truth. Oh, man, I'm hurt, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:12:56 What is it? Groot Entertainment. G-R-E-W Entertainment, LLC, man. I love you, though. I love y'all. I listen to you every morning. I'm hurt right now, though, Charlamagne, but it's okay. Well, I don't think you can judge it just based off of that. I love you, though. I love y'all. I listen to you every morning. I'm hurt right now, though, Charlamagne, but it's okay. Well, I don't think you can judge it
Starting point is 01:13:08 just based off of that. Yeah, Charlamagne didn't hear no music. He hasn't heard no music. He just heard... So what'd you think of that freestyle you just heard from her, Andy? What'd you think of what you just heard from her? I was listening. I was listening. Y'all are so full of s***.
Starting point is 01:13:23 I was listening. Y'all are so full of s***. Why? I wasn't listening. Y'all are so full of s***. And that's why she's going to waste her time for the next three, four years trying to write. She could have just had an off day. Okay, sure. Cookie the Black Widow. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Okay, let's keep it going. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Local Morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:13:50 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Portia. I'm calling from Charleston, South Carolina. Hey, Portia. 843.
Starting point is 01:14:02 What's your question for Yee? Okay, so I have a question. Basically, I've been dealing with some sexual harassment at my job with my supervisor. So I took the appropriate steps, went to HR, even talked to a lawyer about the situation. But it seems like they're not trying to let this manager go. So I was like, what's the next step? What should I do from this point on? Should I just find another job? Should I keep pushing the issue? Because I feel like, what's the next step? What should I do from this point on? Should I just find another job?
Starting point is 01:14:26 Should I keep pushing the issue? Because I feel like he's retaliating. You feel like he's retaliating, you said? Yes. Like, give me some examples. Basically, like, he tried to put me on third shift without telling me, which was
Starting point is 01:14:41 one thing. Another thing, he nitpicks at little things that he claimed I'm doing wrong because I'm an industrial technician, so I work through maintenance department. Seeing that I'm one of the girls with a bunch of guys, he just kind of nitpicks at me for little things that I feel like it's not even serious to nitpick over
Starting point is 01:15:02 because he never did before until I went to HR about him. Okay. So here's a couple of things. First of all, you said that you've complained, right? Yes, I went to HR twice. And so their response is what? We're going to work on it. We're going to work on him.
Starting point is 01:15:19 We're going to try to figure out how we're going to make you comfortable by being here because we know you're not. But that's pretty much it. And they're dragging their feet about letting them go or, you know, what are they going to do with the supervisor? I had proof that he did that. Right. Text message and everything. So you have all of this in writing and you've emailed them and they've responded via email. I highly recommend you get yourself a lawyer.
Starting point is 01:15:43 That's when they take things seriously. Okay. And you should not ever have to work under those circumstances. You should feel safe and protected at work. If you go to HR with a complaint and evidence that somebody is doing this to you and making you feel this way at work and you're uncomfortable and you're feeling belittled, then you need to make sure that you take those matters into your own hand
Starting point is 01:16:01 because you have the power to do that. Okay. Well, I'll probably just go back to the attorney I was talking to. She told me that the only way she can take my case is if the job was to fire me or there was no changes moving forward. So because there are no changes, I'm just going to go back to her. Yeah, absolutely. And it sounds like you have a legitimate case.
Starting point is 01:16:21 You have these text messages. Plus, I think you have to keep a record of what's been happening at work since you've been complaining to HR and all the things that he's been, every detail that you can get and anything that you can get in writing as evidence, you should try to get. Okay. And make sure you send those emails. Make sure you show what their responses are. Present all of those to a lawyer. You definitely have a case. And I think this is great because you don't want this to happen to somebody else. So it's great
Starting point is 01:16:46 that you spoke up. You've done what you're supposed to do on your part. They haven't done what they're supposed to do on their behalf. So now it's time to move it to the next level. You ain't got none of your cousins that can come box them anymore? I mean, I do got cousins who want to come box them up now, but listen,
Starting point is 01:17:02 it's like, I don't, this is a white man, so I don't want white people to get knocked out for that now. Man, I ain't, I ain't care if you're a white man now. That man ain't got no business trying to feel on your bunkie
Starting point is 01:17:11 at work now. Yeah, he be trying, talking about, you want to touch my tattoo and all kind of stuff. Kway! He want to touch the tattoo.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Well, you damn right, you are not getting, none of your family's locked up over this. Well, I need your cousin to come punch our co-worker in the mouth too. Charleston Gullah 843 all day yeah 843 I'm with you girl I know it has to be tough
Starting point is 01:17:45 for you to go to work every day under those circumstances and not feel like anybody cares I'm so uncomfortable every day and it's like I left work today
Starting point is 01:17:53 just to get away took a sick day just to not be there with them yeah that's a terrible feeling so you have to nip this in the bud
Starting point is 01:18:00 and let them know you ain't gonna keep this going I have the power over you and I'm gonna make y'all look crazy. Exactly. And thank you, Charlamagne. I love you, though. I love you more.

Starting point is 01:18:51 Hello, who's this? Good morning, Giovanna. Uh-oh, what's the matter, Giovanna? Why you sound like you're whispering? I'm whispering because my college student is home. Okay, okay. And I don't want him to hear my question. Oh, boy, mommy freaky.
Starting point is 01:19:04 All right, let's go. Yeah, DJ and the happy anniversary. My husband and I will be celebrating 24 years of summer too. Wow. In our 20s. Congrats to that. Yeah, same to you. Same to you.
Starting point is 01:19:15 So, my question is, I don't know how you deal with all those kids, but what to do now that these kids are home when you're trying to get freaky with your husband? Do you have any idea do you have any... Do you know why you sustain these long-term marriages? Because y'all do all kinds of crazy stuff, you know, but we're trying to figure it out. How many kids? Just one, just one, but... Okay, and he's home from college.
Starting point is 01:19:40 He's graduated last year, thank goodness, but, you know, with everything going on, his grad plans didn't work out. He was supposed to relocate to California. He's home with us. We have a condo and can't get down the way we usually get down, you know? So is he ever going outside? Is there someplace like an outdoor space? Not right now. And we, you know, normally we'll go to parks, but parks have been closed.
Starting point is 01:20:06 We don't want to get arrested because he's essential. I own a catering business kind of, you know, in the public eye. I don't want to be, you know, known for anything scandalous, but of course. Y'all be going to the parks, getting freaky. I like this. No, no, no. She said. We have.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Hold on. Yes, they do. Not now. freaky. I like this. No, no, no. She said. We have. Hold on. Yes, they do. Not now. Not now. Not during this. Not now, of course. Everything is shut down. We try to be safe. As I said, my husband is essential.
Starting point is 01:20:34 I own a catering business. Shout out to the small business owners. I fed the front line. Still doing my. What's the name of your catering business? Let's plug that, too, while we're on here. Oh, thank you. Impa Mama Signature Recipes.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Hmm. I'm in Cliffside Park, but I work out of a commercial kitchen in Englewood. So Englewood Hospital, holy name, T-Neck, feed the front line. We're still doing more. Now, Giovanna, let me ask you this. Doesn't your son have to go to sleep at some point? Now that he's home, not really. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:21:04 You know these older kids. They're on FaceTime all hours of the night. You know, and we're not quiet. You know what? You know what I think is fun? You need to have sex quietly. Quietly? Yes, and that actually is really fun, but it doesn't normally happen,
Starting point is 01:21:20 but it's actually very exciting when you know people might. My husband's louder than me, actually. Wow, Mama, you're putting in that work. You're going to have to cover his mouth while you're doing it, but it's actually something really fun about trying to be quiet while you have sex. And that might just be something y'all are going to have to do.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Just be careful, quiet. It is exciting. We're going to try. Mama, Mama, Mama, can I be honest with you? I have ideas, especially from DJ. What do be honest with you? I need some ideas, especially from DJ. What do you do with all those kids?
Starting point is 01:21:48 We live in a condo. Well, first of all, first of all, the kids go to sleep. The kids go to sleep and then the older kids... The older one, exactly. But the older...
Starting point is 01:21:54 He knows what's going on. You don't think he having sex? She don't want him to hear that. Nobody want to hear their parents having sex. Thank you, Angela. The kids don't want to hear that. Put a lock on that door
Starting point is 01:22:03 and you and your hubby go in. He's not going to walk in. He's not walking in. Don't worry about it. He'll put his headphones on and you and your hubby go in. He's not walking in. Don't worry about it. He'll put his headphones on and he'll be in this video game. Let me tell you what else you can do.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Let me tell you what else you can do because you said the headboard. I'm glad you said that. Put a sheet on the floor and have sex quietly on the floor. We have carpet under the floor under our bed. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Well, listen. Put a sheet on the floor. Put on some music. Put the TV on, whatever you got to do. Mama, don't even worry about your son. You know, my daughter came into me. She came into my room the other morning and was like, guys, you know I don't go to sleep at 12 o'clock, right?
Starting point is 01:22:37 You know I hear everything that was going on. And you know what I said? I said, well, you know how you got here, right? And then she just walked out. It is what it is. My daughter's 18. Your son, as he graduated college, he got to be in his 20s. He understands.
Starting point is 01:22:49 But listen, I just want to say, you just need to make a fun game out of it. Put that sheet on the floor. Tell him, all right, we got to be quiet. Turn on some music kind of low and just have sex slowly and quietly. He's a grown-ass boy, mama. He's in your house. He's old enough now. You and hubby get freaky.
Starting point is 01:23:09 He doesn't want to see his mother's face. His father come out smiling, but he doesn't want to see me come down and make his avocado toast after I didn't serve him. Avocado toast. I hope you would wash your hands at least. Yeah, all kind of. Oh my God. Washing my hands and everything, but okay.
Starting point is 01:23:27 We'll try the sheet on the floor. Thank you. Oh, Mama, get your freaky ass on. Who cares? Hey, Emmy, this is Ask Yee. She wanted advice, and my advice is have some fun with it. It's a different time. It's a different era.
Starting point is 01:23:39 She don't want her son to hear, but that sheet on the floor and have fun trying to be quiet. Quarantine sex, maintaining the long-term marriages. You gotta do what you gotta do. Mama, I haven't worked out the best thing yet. And every time he makes a little noise with his mouth and he starts getting too loud, just cover his mouth and be like, hey, you gotta be quiet.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Mama, nah. And let me ask you a question. When you find out what to do with the bed, help me out with the bed, because I haven't figured that out yet. My bed be squeaking. We haven't figured that out, man. We haven't figured we've used WD-40. We got the purple mattress and everything and it's still.
Starting point is 01:24:08 It's still mine too. The mattress. What the hell is a purple mattress? It's a label. It's a type of mattress. Do you have an air mattress? No, we don't have,
Starting point is 01:24:16 no, please. We bought some air mattress. We tried that back in the 90s. Who came up with that? She tried to play you. Angelique just tried to play you, mom. She's going to tell you
Starting point is 01:24:23 she got an air mattress. You're a grown ass woman trying to play you like youique just tried to play you, mom. She's going to tell you she's got an air mattress. You're a grown-ass woman. I'm trying to play you like you're some little young cop with an air mattress. Wow. I have a... Wow. You're disrespectful. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:24:35 I have a... Wow. I actually have an air mattress as a spare mattress in my house in case I have company. And I'm like, okay, here's an air mattress. So sometimes people come... You can hold something? You can blow up. You here's an air mattress. So sometimes people come and then they go. You can blow up. You can use the air mattress. In the 80s, no. I don't know if that's going to work.
Starting point is 01:24:51 And it's actually, it's a pillow top air mattress and it's very nice. It's late automatically. Yeah, I have that for guests, but I don't think that's going to work. Mama, go in. Don't worry about him. Okay, I'm going to take your advice. Go in.
Starting point is 01:25:06 He knows. He understands. I know you know, DJ and V. Long-term marriage, you got to do what you got to do. That's right. Sometimes you got to stick. That's right. Or stick your face out the window.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Let her be hidden from the back. That way, if you yell, it's outside. You go in. You get freaky. Then my neighbors. I've already had notices under my door from my neighbors. That's the last thing I need is for them to see my hanging out the window now too.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Why your so long and hanging out the window? Not long, but you know, to stick my face out the window. That's going to come next. Oh my gosh. Well, have fun with it. Get on that floor and have some next. Oh my gosh. We'll have fun with it. Get on that floor and have some fun.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Thank you. Good luck, mama. And sustain these long-term marriages. We out here doing it too. There you go. Black love. Black love.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Black love. Don't do your catering straight from doing what you do with your husband. Just make sure you wash your hands, shower. We don't want any extra DNA. That food will have
Starting point is 01:26:04 more love in it, boy. All right. Thank you, mama hands, shower. We don't want any extra DNA. That food will have more love in it, boy. Alright, thank you, mama. That ain't love. That ain't cream, either. Alright, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Starting point is 01:26:20 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Eva. She was on Wendy just joined us, we are talking about Eva. She was on Wendy Williams' show, and she talked about her child and changing her child's last name. Let's hear it. Sterling, like everybody else. We legally changed her name this past year.
Starting point is 01:26:34 It was, we went through a lot to do it, but. How much more before the actual process is done? Well, the name change is illegal, so now we have to go through the adoption process, and, I mean, he's making it a little bit easier for us acting crazy in the public. Well, I guess life Jennings seen that and he didn't like that too much. Are you? He said, I think this is so whack changing your daughter's last name from her father's to somebody else's, especially when the father tries to see her. The daughter don't have anything to do with their beef. And what kind of
Starting point is 01:27:01 man allows that ish piss me off. So we're asking 805851051, is it acceptable to change your child's last name? What do you think, Charlamagne? I mean, I got to know the context of the situation. You know what I'm saying? If you're doing it just out of spite, just because you don't like your baby daddy because he don't want to be with you and you got a new man now,
Starting point is 01:27:18 that's whack. But I mean, if you got a deadbeat daddy. What about if it's a deadbeat daddy, the dad's not around, the dad is not taking care of the child? I have no problem with that whatsoever. By the way, the son of the daughter shouldn't want to wear the name of a deadbeat. Yeah, I don't know either situation, but with Kevin McCall, we all know Kevin McCall has problems mentally,
Starting point is 01:27:40 but it does seem like he is trying to take care of his daughter. It seems like he goes to court. I just don't know. I don't know if he's abusive. I don't know. You know what I mean? But in a situation, if there is a deadbeat dad and I'm taking it away from that situation, if the dad is not in the child's life and he's not even helping no way whatsoever, no, I say change that name immediately. What do you think? Well, legally, if a woman wants to change her children's last names, she either has to get consent from the biological father. And if he doesn't give consent, he can object to it.
Starting point is 01:28:09 And then she has to get a petition and then go to court. And he can show up to court and say he doesn't want that to happen. And then the judge has to decide. So that's how it goes down legally. But I do feel like whoever is the father, if the mother chooses to do that and the father is causing issues or he's not in the child's life or not holding up his responsibilities, then he's not really your dad. And if the last name is Zimmerman, you definitely want to change that one. You don't want
Starting point is 01:28:32 to walk around with that last name. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Sheila from Jersey. So what do you think? Is it acceptable to change your child's last name? No, I don't agree with that. Okay, go ahead. No matter how much you don't like your kid's dad or no matter how crazy he might
Starting point is 01:28:48 act or no matter what he does, changing the last name is not going to change the DNA. It's not going to change who the father is. So you have to get over that. And on top of that, you're falsifying an image of somebody that's not true. That's not her dad. And if one day it doesn't work out between you two, now
Starting point is 01:29:03 he legally is her dad and that's not really her dad. You know what I mean? Like, it's just stupid. It's petty. It doesn't make the other person your dad. They would have to actually adopt the children so that the kids aren't adopted, even if you're married, right? No, but I'm talking about, like, the image
Starting point is 01:29:19 that you're portraying to your children. Now, what if your kids are like, I want to have the same last name as you and my dad, you know, the stepfather? Well, I mean, that's a choice that they have to make and the two parents should come to a, you know, to a middle ground with. That would be their choice.
Starting point is 01:29:34 But if they're not old enough to make those type of decisions, just saying that because whatever the situation is, you know, like some kids, they grow up and they're told this is their dad, this is their dad, and that's what they think. What if the biological father is absent from the children's life? Me personally,
Starting point is 01:29:54 I don't agree in that. My father was not in my life either and my mother still maintained our last name as his. I guess that would be up to the child when they grow up to decide if they want to do that or not. Okay.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Thank you, Mama. I just wouldn't do that. Okay. Hello, who's this? This is Spoon from Dayton, Ohio. Hey, is it acceptable to change a child's last name? I think it just really depends on the circumstances. You know, my daughter, her father is not in her life.
Starting point is 01:30:26 He's never been in her life, which is fine, but she still has his last name. And I don't tell her bad things about her dad. She can find out on her own, just like my mom told me about my dad.
Starting point is 01:30:41 But I don't think a name defines a person. Now, if you have, you know, someone new in your life and they want to spend the rest of their life with you and, you know, you and your kids are a package deal. And if that dad is not, you know, in that child's life, I don't see a problem with it then. But, you know, then you got these bitter baby moms.
Starting point is 01:31:11 You know, you got these, you know, baby moms that, you know, couldn't change the man's life with a child. And, you know, being used as a tactic to attack. Right. You know, so, you know, a baby is not a pawn, you know. Right. So whatever that child's name is, leave that baby alone. But, you know, I think it is also like we always talk about women taking the husband's name after marriage. I think for kids, if you live in a house with the mom and the stepfather and that's who you know is your dad and you call him dad, you might want to have the same last name. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:31:43 Good morning. This is Nathan out of Orlando, Florida. Good morning, Angela. Good morning. What up, bro? Peace, King. Is it acceptable to change a child's last name, brother? Nah, nah, brother. I don't think it is, man. I want to share experience. I'm glad you got picked up. I actually had an ex-wife who
Starting point is 01:31:58 tried to do that to me, and I would like to use her government if that's okay with y'all. Just the first name, please. Sandra. Okay. I don't f*** South Carolina. Try the name. I already know. You got you a nice country-ass guy. Yep. Tried to do that to your boy, and I think
Starting point is 01:32:14 that's hateful and disrespectful to a man. I don't think nobody should do anything like that. Were you in your child's life? Are you in your child's life? I am in my child's life. I love my kids very much. I'm a Virgo. You already know how we do. That's right. Love our kids. Okay. Take care of our own. So what happened? Did she try to do it legally and then you
Starting point is 01:32:29 blocked it? She talked about trying to do it. She got a lawyer to try to do it and then I kind of paid a little bit of money out there and they dropped the whole thing. Okay. Alright, well thank you, brother. So what's tomorrow's little story, guys? Tomorrow's little story is that every case is different, though, and there's no one size fits all when it comes, brother. So what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is that every case is different, though,
Starting point is 01:32:47 and there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to family. So I think whatever decision you make, it always has to be in the best interest of your children and not in your own selfish best interest. The moral of the story is y'all better stop picking who y'all mate with like y'all rolling dice in the back of a moving goddamn pickup truck, okay? That's what y'all better stop doing, all right? Take care of your kids, man. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:33:05 When you lay down with people, man, you know, think about spending the rest of your life with this person, because you never know. This person might give you a disease you can't get rid of. This person might give you a baby. Or better yet, you might grow to love this person and be married to them the rest of your life. Either way, that's all forever. Just pick the right forever when you're dealing with these people, okay?
Starting point is 01:33:22 All right, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. Tell them you got a positive note. Yes, man, for everybody out there that's, you know, doing a little. So we all don't have to do a lot. I just want you to know that act as if what you do makes a difference because it does. Breakfast Club, bitches! We all finished or y'all done?
