No, I don't want no damn coke.
I don't do drugs.
I'm sure we can find something.

in here this time of morning?
There's 20 other white people.
I'm sure there's some cocaine in here.
Nah, I don't want no drugs.
Just drink a green juice. Yeah, I'm making my green drink now. Drink some green juice, you know what I'm saying? Put a little kale, a little cocaine in there. Nah, I don't want no drugs. Jeez. Drink a green juice.

Nah, she's doing mine right now as we speak.
You got to get some sleep, bruh.
I did.
I keep telling y'all, base your life around sleep.
Yeah, I tried last night.
Well, I had a show in Boston last night.
Shout out to the good people in Boston, Jammin' 94.5.
Drop one of Clues Bond for Boston, damn it.
This is officially our full week we've been in Boston.
Mm-hmm.
I was out there last night at a club called Cure Allows.
They showed us a lot of love in Boston last night.
The place was packed.
But, you know, it's a four-hour drive.
Mm-hmm.
So when the club's over at 2 o'clock, you got to drive back here,
and we got to be on the air at 6 o'clock.
Why you didn't fly?
What flight do you know leaves at 3 in the morning?
Oh, yeah, you're right about that.
So we had to drive back.
So we drove back so I could make it on air on time.
So shout out to the good people at Boston.
So I'm a little tired.
You must have left a little before 3.
Yeah, a little before 2.
I left about 2 o'clock.
All right.
About a four-hour drive.
I got here like maybe 10, 15 minutes ago.
All right, well, you're here.
I'm not going to sit here and complain with you.
We got an action-packed show this morning.
Who we got coming?
First of all, a part of the IHOP mafia.
He's got a book out right now called Bare Bones.
Bobby Bones will be here this morning.
Drop one of Clues Bomb for Bobby Bones.
Bobby Bones.
I've been listening to Zac Brown band all morning.
Okay.
Have fried chicken turned up to ignorant levels.
That's one of their records.
Okay.
You're in your country thing today.
And then since, you know, we're the king of trash morning radio.
Well, I wouldn't call us the king of trash.
Like, that's a little too far.
The king of trash morning radio.
Okay.
We're bringing in the king of trash TV, Jerry Springer.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
All right, there we go. And. That bomb was a little weak for Jay. Let's do, Jerry, Jerry. All right, there we go.
And.
That bomb was a little weak for Jay.
Let's do it again for Jay.
All right, one more time.
Drop one of Clues' bombs for Jay.
There you go.
There you go.
Jerry Springer, damn it.
He's worth $75 million.
Oh, yeah.
All you girls in here look alive.
All right?
Yeah.
All right.
And also we have the guy who's having his Bad Boy Reunion concert this weekend in New York.
And he just kicked it off. He's actually selling
tickets. I think they go on sale this morning.
If you want to get tickets across the country,
Diddy will be joining us. Never heard of him.
Puff Daddy, Sean Combs,
Sean Diddy Combs, Sean Puffy Daddy.
I don't know the guy. Whatever you want to call him, Diddy will
be joining us this morning. You can drop a bomb for Diddy.
Drop one of Clue's bombs for Diddy. I give Diddy
a lot of help, but let's be clear, Diddy is a legend
in every sense of the word.
So we got a packed show?
Unless we don't get tickets for this damn concert.
We don't get tickets for this damn concert. Well, I don't know.
I'm just going to drop Diddy's legendary status down a little bit in my mind.
You might have to because I haven't seen any tickets.
And it's looking light out there.
The only thing I got was a bad boy flight jacket, okay?
Yeah, I got that too.
I want to wear that to the concert, but I can't go to the concert if I don't get no tickets. I did get a bad boy hat too. They gave me a bad boy hat. Did you get your bad boy flight jacket, okay? Yeah, I got that too. I want to wear that to the concert, but I can't go to the concert
if I don't get no tickets.
I did get a bad boy hat too.
They gave me a bad boy hat.
Did you get your bad boy hat?
Absolutely not.
And I got people
who came into town
for the concert
and I'm like,
I don't know why y'all came.
I don't got no tickets.
Yes, they did.
Yes, they did.
Wow.
So we're going to see
this morning, Mr. Combs.
Yeesh.
All right.
Well, let's get it cracking.
We got to do front page news. You know, here. Yes, we got to do front page news. You're not going to slack off, okay, just because. Yeesh. All right. Well, let's get it cracking. We got to do front page news.
You know what I mean?
Yes, we got to do front page news.
You're not going to slack off, okay?
Just because it's Friday.
All right.
I know everybody's out there riding in their cars thinking, damn, it's Friday.
I don't really got to put in maximum effort at work today.
But no, I like to end the week strong.
We're all going to end the week strong at our respective jobs, okay?
All right.
Well, let's do it.
Thanks, G.
A father and son are arrested for keeping a teen chained in the basement. We'll tell you about that. Okay. All right. Well, let's do it. Thank you. A father and son are arrested for keeping a teen chained in the basement.
We'll tell you about that.
Okay.
Also, Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is not qualified because he's a beep.
I'll tell you about that when we come back.
She didn't really say that, but I think that's kind of exciting.
Hillary is stating obvious this morning.
All right.
And we got to tell you about the Egypt air flight that went down yesterday.
So keep it locked.
Front page news is next.
Front page news.
Front page news is next. It's the Breakfast. Front Page News is next. Front Page News. Front Page News is next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on, let's go.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Terrible way to start off a Friday, by the way, with that slow-ass song.
Oh, that's how I feel right now, though.
I ain't gonna lie.
That song is absolutely driving in the car, and it's not even raining, and your windshield
wipers are gone.
That's that type of record.
Yeah, well, that's how I feel as well.
Go vacuum something.
Perfect song.
Now let's get into some front page news.
The last night the Cavs beat the Raptors 108-89.
I don't even know why they continue to play this series.
I mean, I know that the next two games in Toronto,
they just want Drake to sit courtside,
but this series is such a wash.
Like, it's disgusting.
Now Hillary Clinton spoke about Donald Trump.
She has some choice words for Donald Trump.
Let's play the audio.
We're getting the audio.
We don't have any audio?
No, we do.
Do you think that Donald Trump is qualified to be president?
No, I do not.
The kinds of positions he is stating and the consequences of those positions are not just offensive to people.
They are potentially dangerous.
We have seen how Donald Trump is being essentially be a recruiter
for more people to join the cause of terrorism.
Hillary is absolutely right.
But I mean, more importantly than that, I'm a stern believer in,
you know, having some type of experience in whatever field you're
getting into. But if you don't have experience,
you can learn on-the-job training. But the
presidency of the United States of America
is not a job that you can
learn on the fly.
Right now, a father and son were
arrested yesterday for keeping this 13
year old chained in a basement.
Now, she was chained in a basement allegedly because
she wet the bed. And after she wet the bed, they brought her to the basement. Now she was chained in a basement allegedly because she wet the bed.
And after she wet the bed, they brought her to the basement.
They shackled her ankles
and left her basically down there. She was
there for long periods of time.
She was there for a year in total.
And I guess they would bring her back upstairs
every once in a while. Who is the 13
year old girl to them though? They just said
she's a relative. They said
they had other kids and the other kids
were actually there
and they were home cared
so homeschooled
so the kids were all there.
All those kids
were placed in foster care.
The girl,
the way she got away
is they would let her upstairs
to eat every once in a while
so when they went jogging,
I guess they were exercising,
when they went jogging
and they put her back
in the basement,
she found a spare key,
hid the spare key down there
and she got herself out.
The young girl don't have no family?
Like, nobody was wondering where she was at?
I guess she's with relatives.
Maybe they're raising her.
I don't know.
Jesus Christ.
God bless that little girl.
No.
That sounds like a Lifetime movie in the making.
And lastly, the Egypt Air flight.
Parts of the plane wreckage are found.
They still don't know what's going on.
They say the plane was carrying 56 passengers
and 10 crew members when it left Paris. They still don't know what's going on. They say the plane was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew members when it left Paris.
They really don't know.
They just said it disappeared from the radar Thursday as it flew, which would have been about a three and a half hour flight.
They said it kind of just went off the radar about an hour and a half.
And when it got to Egypt airspace, they're still trying to find debris and see if anybody's living.
All right.
God bless them.
It's Friday morning.
Can we please talk about something positive?
Jesus Christ. You talk about something positive?
Jesus Christ.
You talk about, you know,
people being chained up in basements and planes crashing.
Do you have anything positive
to say to the people, sir?
Huh?
That was front page news.
That's all I have.
Listen,

Means no worries.
It's Friday.

Why are you mad, Mama?
Because my direct deposit was only $54 today.
Wow, you must have went to work at all.
God, what happened?
No, I went to work.
I had to take two days off, but I had to borrow money against my check

Apparently.
Okay.

Hello, who's this?
Hello, who's this?
Yo, yo, this is Miguel checking in with Duval County, baby.
Tell them why you mad, bro.
Man, I'm going to tell you why I'm mad, man.
I just can't understand why these women got a whole
aisle of stuff they can freshen up with
with the stinky poong poong
and they continue to smell bad.
Man, I went down with somebody the other day
that smelled like some backyard trash, man.
Yeah, but you ain't stopped, though. I bet you kept
on licking. Yeah, I bet you still hit it.
Yeah, man. Well, there you go.
Listen, I hate guys that do
that. That's like watching reality TV and complaining about it.
Like, you can't complain about it and watch it, okay?
Oh, man, come on, man.
I got to complain.
They got a whole aisle.
I mean, us men ain't got an excuse about something big or something small,
but they got a whole aisle where they can freshen up.
Well, now your breath stinks, okay?
What you going to do?
And you ain't even telling her that her poom-poom stinks,
so you really ain't as real as you think you are.
You talking behind her back right now calling the radio station. I ain't going to do? And you ain't even telling her that her poom poom stinks, so you really ain't as real as you think you are. You talking behind her back right now calling the radio station.
I ain't going to lie, I still went down.
But I had to wash it up afterwards, but I had to bring it out there, man.
Come on now.
And you're not used to getting no vagina,
because if you was really used to getting vagina,
you could have walked away from that stank one.
You're right, but I had to still get it off, though.
You know how it goes.
No, I don't know how it goes.
All right, bro.
Tell me why you're mad.
805-85-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
You can call us at any time.
Or maybe there's an imposter in the room where you work at,
and they say that that's your co-worker,
and it's not really your co-worker.
I'm trying to figure out who this girl is here.
I don't know who this little suspicious-looking woman is sitting by us
with this 24 inches of weave in her hair.
I got three bundles.
Three bundles?
That's Brazilian, right?
No, actually it's Peruvian.
Peruvian, okay.
Body wave.
Three bundles of Peruvian.
You're right, it is a Brazilian body wave.
Okay, about 30 inches long.
You know too much.
It's not 30 inches.
She got her shades on.
She got a little tan.
Okay.
Let me get it together.
You look like you ready for a Mona Sky Young show.
Tell them why you mad.
We got rumors coming up, E.
Well, we're going to talk about the BET Awards

All that and more.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.

Now, when we come back, Bobby Bones will be joining us.
My brother, Bobby Bones.
Explain to the people who Bobby Bones is.
Bobby Bones is a nationally syndicated radio personality for iHeartMedia.
iHeartMafia dropped one of Clues' bombs for that.
He is the voice of country music.
Yahoo!
One of my best friends out here in these streets.
And he's got a book out right now called Bare Bones.
Wow.
Yeah, it's going to make the New York Times bestsellers list.
But he's a great guy, great individual.
He's pretty funny.
He's got a great story.
He came from nothing.
And now he's on top of the world of country music.
So this is like a morning show mashup, okay?
All the Bobby Bones morning show listeners,
all the Breakfast Club listeners,
we're coming together this morning.
Should I get some country music ready then?
You don't want to play no Zac Brown band?
I ain't got that in my cigar.
Fried chicken, baby.
How about Dear Mr. White Man?
Cold beer on a Friday night.
I got the LL Cool J version.
Dear Mr. White Man.
Nah, we cool on that.
All right, Bobby Bones, when we come back, keep it locked. It's Mr. White Man. Nah, we cool on that. All right.
Bobby Bones, when we come back, keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Local Morning.
That was Drake with One Dance.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
My brother, Bobby Bones.
Bobby Bones.
How come we didn't get a book?
Me and you didn't get a book.
You only gave one to Charlamagne.
We think it's racism.
It's not racism. Because I bring in the books. I got 30 books for both of you didn't get a book. The only gay one is Charlamagne. We think it's racism. It's not racism.
Because bring in the books.
I got 30 books for both of you.
15 each.
Okay.
15.
Nice.
The racism.
Let me ask you guys a question, though.
Okay.
And so, now, us, it's a bunch of white people talking about racism.
You're white?
It's not the same.
Right.
I didn't know you were white.
So, yesterday, the whole Blake Lively thing comes out.
Where she's like, L.A. face, Oakland booty.
And everybody says, ah, it's racist.
She can't say that. And I said, well, Sir Mix-a-Lot, that's like the Wiggles Oakland booty. And everybody says, ah, it's racist. She can't say that.
And I said, well, Sir Mix-a-Lot, that's like the Wiggles of hip hop now.
Like, you can't look at Sir Mix-a-Lot and go, that's my opinion.
That's like Kidz Bop and hip hop.
Right.
So.
I think you overcomplicated it.
It's just, it's a rap lyric.
Okay, but.
LA face, Oakland booty.
If a rich white girl says it, is that racist?
No.
I said no too, but again, I'm white.
So everyone's like, you can like, who are you to judge?
If she said Nubian white queen eyes, black girl ass, that's different.
They would get upset with that.
L.A. face, open booty, no.
L.A. face, what does that mean?
No black girls in the hood don't look good?
That's what they would say.
First of all, L.A. face could mean Mexican.
All right?
Because there's more Mexicans in L.A. than anybody.
I don't think that's what she meant.
I don't think she meant L.A. faces Mexicans.
I didn't even think race when she said that.
I was like, race?
Is this a race issue?
But I'm not as sensitive as most people are.
Well, I am as sensitive, but I wasn't sensitive to that part, in my opinion.
I came in today feeling like I had to start a beef with somebody so I could sell books
and get on every internet and have a-
You're not supposed to tell when you do it.
No, no, but see, that's why I don't do it right.
Who you going with?
I told Angela, I was like, let's start beef today.
Get ready.
I got excited.
I said, sure, let's go.
So I was like, sweet jean jacket.
That's how we beef.
I was noticing your shoes.
There was sheepskin inside.
You got sheepskin though?
I get no memes for that one.
All right.
Speaking of beef, one thing about Bobby that I like, he's probably the only radio personality
who's been physically attacked as much as me.
Yeah, I got, like, a gun to my head at a station event.
For me, it was...
It didn't feel real.
Like, when I had a gun on me, it felt like an after-school special.
And that's what I wrote, because it...
I even got pistol-whipped, like, twice, hard, right in the side of my head.
Like, bam!
Bam! And I didn't feel it. So, what happens is I go up, and I'm in a car. Okay. I even got pistol whipped like twice hard right inside of my head. Like bam, bam.
And I didn't feel it.
So what happens is I go up and I'm in a car.
I'm going to a radio station event.
And a guy comes out and says, how much money you got in there?
And I'm like, well, I had none.
I was broke.
And so I said, I don't have any, but you can have what I have in.
And he takes a gun and pushes it right up into my temple.
And so he pushes it hard. But I don't feel it because I'm like,
this doesn't seem real.
This isn't real.
I'm out of my body experience.
And I'm looking at his eyeballs and he's like,
how much money you got in there?
And I write about this.
I don't remember my PIN number.
Like, and I swear to God,
I had 30 bucks max in my account.
I can't remember my PIN number.
That's what you told him?
Yes.
I'm like, dude,
I would give you all my money
if I could get it out.
And he takes the gun and he goes boom and nails me in the side of the head with it.
I don't feel a thing.
He goes what's your pin number again?
Right, and I didn't know it.
Boom, hits me again.
So he didn't get it.
He ran out of my wallet, had a girl with me.
That was the funniest part of the story when you was like she reached for her purse.
She was like why would you reach for your purse at this time?
She tried to hide it and a guy from the other side
came with a gun
in the other window
and stuck a gun
in that window.
Yeah, she tried to hide
her purse.
I got a gun to my head.
Yeah, and then I got jumped
out of the radio station.
The pistol weapon,
was that a black guy
or a white guy?
A black guy, yeah.
You know what he said?
And I don't say this that often.
I've said it before
but it just isn't worth the trouble.
He actually said
how much money you got
in there, white boy.
So I was targeted.
My race.
My skin was my sin.
That's what I said.
It happened that morning.
He assumed you was rich because you was white.
Right.
And he couldn't look at my car.
I was driving like a 97 Pontiac Sunfire.
Like, there was no assuming I was rich.
I don't know about that.
He thought he was a college kid.
He was like, well, he got some money.
And then, yeah, I got jumped going to the radio station.
I had 11 death threats.
Why did you say jumped, though?
There was only one guy.
One guy that actually...
I almost got jumped.
Hold on.
If you get a weapon
and you get attacked
from behind
without someone
knowing you're coming,
that's getting jumped.
I don't care if it's 11 people
or one person.
We call it jumping.
We gotta be more than one.
More than one person.
So then what is that called?
Bobby almost got killed.
Oh, God.
Well, listen,
here's what happened.
I'm walking up the radio station, and I ran,
and people gave me a lot of crap for running.
They gave Charlamagne credit for being flat for running, too.
I didn't even think about it.
I kicked off my, what do you call it, my cheap skin shoes.
I kicked off my cheap skins, and I ran as far and as fast as I could,
but he had a knife, and he knew who I was.
He said, hey, Bones.
And so I turned around, and he chased me all the way up, probably 80 yards or so.
We watched the tape back, and all the way through, like, a back alley, he's chasing me.
He had rubber gloves on his waist and a big knife in his hand.
I don't know.
Damn.
It sounded like wax.
Why would somebody want to kill you?
I don't know.
Like I said, I've had love and death threats.
Was this all while you were doing country music or what?
No, I was doing, it's going to sound crazy right now, but I was doing like hip hop.
I was doing hip hop.
I was doing hip hop in top 40.
It wasn't even that.
It's just, you know, now, you know,
I've done sports and alternative hip hop
in top 40 and I'm at home in country.
Like that's, that's how I'm from Arkansas.
That's where I'm the most home.
So hold on, the guy with the knife,
was he black or white?
He was white.
So did you say something bad about Eminem
or something while you was doing hip hop music?
Like what happened?
No, I think he was just...
He tracked me for like four days. He sat out front.
We watched surveillance. I don't think it was
anything I said. I think I was an easy target.
Let me give you a word of advice, Bobby. Next time you're getting chased
by anybody, don't run into an alley.
Stay in front of the station in a public place.
That's a scary movie.
Don't run into the alley.
I ran the first open hole I saw.
It wasn't about an alley or nothing I just ran toward an open hole
So yeah
After that did you get security?
Yeah
You had a big white guy there
The company made me
Yeah
A big white guy
Like ex-DEA agent
Gun
Karate
You don't have security
I mean wax
Wax is my boy
But I keep a white man in a suit
That can leave me
Pop somebody every now and then.
I feel like a douchebag having someone with me, but the company's like, because of insurance purposes,
and you've had, you know, I think 14.
I got ripped off the air by the Secret Service once because someone created a profile that said they were going to,
I don't even want to say it on the air.
Kill the president.
Okay.
Yeah.
And they said I called them.
The N-word. Really? Yes. And so they pulled me off the air. I did not. okay yeah and and they you and they and i they said i called them uh about n word really yes
and so they pulled me off the air i did not and they said someone created a profile they pulled
me off the air put me in a room put paper up on the windows and i thought i was going to guantanamo
it was like is i'm out like they had convinced me i'd done it i was like i didn't know what i said
but and then they said someone had sent that via email i was like i knew that and they should be
able to track that down and know and they did said someone had sent that via email. I was like, I knew that. And they should be able
to track that down
and know who did it.
And they did,
but they had to do
their due diligence.
Like, they treated me
like it might have happened.
Do you not like the president?
I love the president.
Oh, okay.
And they bulletproofed
the radio station
that you worked at.
Yeah, there's bulletproof
glass up front.
That's like G-unit shit, bro.
There's its own security now
all because,
listen, I don't get on the air
and talk about abortion
or talk about,
and I don't talk about polarizing issues.
I just try to be a human.
You can't be human in country music.
Country's very conservative.
Yeah, I was going to say,
I didn't know country music was so much crazier
than it seems like any other genre from these stories.
First of all, you guys act like country music people
aren't even real humans.
You act like we're all living on a farm in a barn
eating our hay.
It just seems like peaceful.
I don't know.
The first time I met Bobby, I thought Bobby was going to have a cowboy hat on and cowboy boots.
I told him that when I saw him.
She said you refuse to do that.
And you know what?
That's racism.
Like right now, that's racism.
No, that's country musicism.
Because even if you were black and you were a country music artist, we would think you would have on cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.
That is true.
The one reference that Charlamagne always makes to black country artists.
Darius Rucker, baby.
And he doesn't wear a cowboy hat.
He doesn't do any of that.
Right.
By the way, that's not the only black country artist.
There's more?
Yeah.
Really?
No.
Cowboy Troy.
And Taylor Swift.
And Taylor Swift.
Yeah.
All right, we got more with Bobby Bones when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was future
Drake Jumpman.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Bobby Bones
in the building.
Now, Bobby Bones
is a radio personality.
He does Country Mornings.
He's also our brother
at iHeartRadio,
our family member.
Now, Charlamagne?
You grew up in the Clintons, right?
Sort of.
My grandma was best friends
with Virginia Clinton.
So growing up
in Hot Springs, Arkansas, they live right next door to each other.
So that means you're voting for Hillary.
I'm not voting.
You're not voting at all?
I don't feel like I can stand in a place and talk and give an opinion about both of them,
which I have a lot of likes and dislikes for Hillary and a lot of dislikes for Trump,
but I don't feel like I can vote and give a partial opinion.
So I don't vote for him.
You like Trump at all?
No, we had some issue like six, seven months ago.
Tell them what you did, Bobby.
So I remember this.
So Trump had Make America Great Again.
Right.
He still does.
And I have a clothing company.
And so what I did was I looked for that.
I was going to buy a hat to make fun of.
And I saw that there was no trademark.
He didn't trademark his clothing line. So I bought it.
What kind of businessman is Donald Trump?
Dude, seriously. That's what I started saying on the air.
And I was like, Donald Trump, I will sell it back to you for $100,000
for St. Jude. You sold it too cheap, bro.
I said, and that's what I do.
And then I started getting calls.
People start whispering that to you. And I was just talking to people.
Nobody sued me. But we started, we made a deal
and he got it back.
But they left it wide open.
How could they sue you though?
It's his fault.
No, no.
You can sue anybody
at any time for any reason.
It doesn't matter.
And that's kind of
what they're known for
a little bit too
is bullying people
by just going out.
I'm just going to sue.
I ain't got the money
to be sued by Donald Trump
even if I'm in the right.
So I just want to get out of it.
But yeah,
it was a real knucklehead move
by his staff.
And he gave all the money
to St. Jude's? Yes, all the money that we got from it, which I can't say how much it was. But yeah, yeah. So I just wanted to get out of it. But yeah, it was a real knucklehead move by his staff. And he gave all the money to St. Jude's?
Yes, all the money that we got from it, which I can't say how much it was.
But yeah, we gave it all to St. Jude's.
So it was good.
It ended up being a headache, but good.
Now, I love your story because from the beginning, you knew exactly what you wanted to do with your life.
You knew you wanted to be in radio since a kid.
Yeah, I wanted to be in radio.
I wanted to be a stand-up comic.
So that's always, I had to have a safety net.
So that's always what I wanted to do.
So, you know, from five years old So that's always, I had to have a safety net. So that's always what I wanted to do. So, you know,
from five years old,
that's what I started doing.
You know, with me,
I grew up, you know,
like a lot of people
listening right now,
like a lot of people
listening to my show,
I have a dad.
My mom was a drug addict.
You know, she died of overdose,
you know, drug abuse
in her 40s.
She was 15,
so it wasn't like,
I mean, I didn't grow up
some trust fund kid,
you know,
the opposite from it.
And so for me, it was, I got one goal and'm going to do everything I can to get to that goal.
And I knew early because there was really no other way out except hard work.
So that's what I did.
That's what I'm trying to do now still.
You know, where we come from, I think where all of us come from,
there aren't a lot of people that are told they can do things.
Fire it up.
And so I think that's what I'm trying to do right now is let people know that you can. I mean, look at me. Look at you. Look at us. We're the kind of people that go, you know, if we can do things. Fire it up. And so I think that's what I'm trying to do right now is let people know that you can.
I mean, look at me.
Look at you.
Look at us.
We're the kind of people that go,
you know, if we can do it,
then a lot of you guys can do it.
All you got to do is kind of put your head down
and push and continue pushing.
Now, I love what you did
when you started doing country music radio.
And people weren't very accepting of you at first.
At first, still.
But yes, for the most part, yeah.
But I mean, you're very successful now.
But at first, it didn't seem like they would welcome you into that fold.
You didn't have a background in country music.
None of your co-hosts did.
You actually did a whole campaign.
I launched a whole negative campaign against myself.
I didn't tell the company, which they didn't like.
And I bought the biggest billboards you could possibly buy in Nashville.
And all they said was, go away, Bobby Bones.
I said nothing about it.
Right.
So the news was covering it.
They're trying to track down who put up all these negative campaign boards.
And I didn't tell anybody for three years.
And they investigated artists and record companies, people I was having like feuds with.
And so it was me.
I paid my own cash, built a shell company, put up all this negative press.
I felt like one, it's going to make people wonder who is this guy?
Because I was new. And two, maybe people would people would be like hey man why are they picking on
him yeah why are they picking up bobby bone that could have went it could have went really bad yeah
really bad it was a risk if they'd have found out all my credibility would have been blown all right
but uh they didn't find out and i got to tell it myself so i got lucky now uh your nicknames you
have some great nicknames growing up yeah hobby bob Hobby Bobby. No, wait. First of all.
Hobby Lobby Bobby.
I used to work at Hobby Lobby, and the name tag said Hobby Lobby Bobby.
You know what Hobby Lobby is?
No, what's Hobby Lobby?
You've never seen Hobby Lobby?
It's like a craft store.
So you go Hobby Lobby, you get like a picture frame, you get like a button, like a baby toenail, like whatever you need to make a project.
Anything for a diorama.
Like arts and crafts.
Arts and crafts.
It sounds like a bodega.
No, no.
So I worked there there and I was excited
because that was like my first paycheck job.
You know, where I wasn't doing maintenance.
So I had a name tag
and it said Hobby Lobby Bobby.
And I had no idea until I started.
That could have been your radio name.
I'm like a garbage pail kid.
And then I signed a hip hop deal
one time and my name was Captain Caucasian.
Captain Caucasian!
And I named myself that
to be fair, but I don't call myself
that anymore. We heard some of your rap before.
We actually have a premiere on your record.
And you know what? That was not fair because
you can't lead something by going,
here's a white boy because
that's the first words out of your mouth
and he's a white boy. You lose
all credibility if the first words
are he's a white boy. No, no, no. People hear he's a white boy to the bars you lose all credibility if the first words are he's a white boy. No, no, no, no.
People hear he's a white boy, the bars and such.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
And listen, it was a comedy song, too.
I wasn't trying.
I'm not trying to win a source award, right?
And all I know is all the.
The source awards are not around anymore.
They don't exist anymore.
We're bringing them back, though.
Shout out to Londell.
Maybe a BET award.
Whatever.
So anyway, but I do appreciate that. Listen, I listen to you guys every day. Like, you have no idea. How, Bobby? You're on the radio. He's an hour back though. Shout out to Londell. Maybe a BET award. Whatever. But I do appreciate that.
I listen to you guys every day.
You're on the radio.
I listen to you guys
and I watch your clips every day. This is my
favorite show. I tell Charlamagne that. You guys are my
favorite show period. To be on the
show is a real honor for me.
What you guys do, you guys are changing the
entire scene, the culture of hip hop.
What I'm trying to do over in the country, you guys are already doing hip hop. As much respect as I can give you guys, I give guys are changing the entire scene, the culture of hip-hop. You know, what I'm trying to do over the country, you guys are already doing hip-hop.
So as much respect as I can give you guys, I give it to you right now.
Hold on.
Let's talk about this other nickname, though.
T-Bone.
Oh, boy.
Because that's an amazing story.
T-Bone.
That sounds sexual.
Best thing with a little boy.
I was a little boy.
How old were you?
Wait a minute.
Easy.
Here's what happened.
I was 13 years old, and I played football.
And so, you know, I played football all growing up, football and baseball.
And so they had us wrestling.
And I was wrestling another kid, and my shorts ripped open.
Can I say erection?
Yes.
Erection while you were wrestling with another boy?
Are you straight?
You haven't been hip-hopping right now.
Say pause, Bobby. Say pause. I'm straight. But, yeah, as hop a while, but right now say pause, Bobby.
Say pause.
I'm straight.
But yeah, as I was 13, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
What made you hard, Bobby? All I know is I didn't even know and I looked down and I was like, oh, and everybody's laughing
and running away.
Is that an erection?
And so, yeah.
That's so crazy.
I mean, when you're 13, if you touch my shoulder at 13.
Even if you're another boy?
It doesn't matter.
Even if it's a wall.
A wall.
I mean, if you touch my shoulder right now.
Listen, I've already tried to get Angela before at like iHeart Festival.
I thought you were drunk.
Oh, you shot your shot with Angela?
I did.
Really?
Wow.
For like two years in a row and she was having none of it.
What did he say?
What was his line?
Why did you turn him down?
I thought he was kidding.
See? Really? That's my game. Everybody, Yee? I thought he was kidding. See?
Really?
That's my game.
Everybody thinks I'm always playing.
And then when I ask, I'm like, oh, I thought you were kidding.
Whatever.
It's all good.
That's a radio power couple.
Both of y'all are single.
It's all good.
Like, no kids.
That'll be great.
I don't think he's single, man.
What are you talking about?
Hold on.
So, Yee, what did Bobby say to you?
I need to know what Bobby...
What was his game?
It wasn't...
His game was that he had no game.
I have no game.
Right.
That's what he said to you?
That game does work, though. That's a line. That's okay. That's why I'm used to it. His game was that he had no game. I have no game. Right. That's what he said to you? That game does work, though.
That's a line.
That's okay.
That's why I'm used to it.
He did say something to me about you.
We're doing business together.
I was like, ew.
I was like, ye.
He just expressed interest.
I was like, ye.
I was like, what's her story?
What's her story?
He was like, yuck.
That's good.
It would have been worse if he was like, yeah, go for it, everybody.
I tried.
I tried the hardest I could try.
It didn't work.
I move on.
All right, we got more with Bobby Bones when we come back.
Let's get into a country joint.
What country joint you know, Charlamagne?
Let's say Zac Brown band, Fried Chicken.
Nah, let's just do J. Cole.
Nah, it's Friday.
It's a Friday, man.
Cole B on a Friday night.
Throw on some Zac Brown real quick, bro. I ain't got no Zac in my Serato. I got J. Cole, though. it's Friday. It's a Friday, man. Cole B on a Friday night. Throw on some Zac Brown real quick, bro.
I ain't got no Zac in my Serato.
I got J. Cole, though.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was J. Cole, no role models.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We have Bobby Bones in the building.
He has a new book.
What's the name of his book, Charlamagne?
The name of the book is Bare Bones.
Really great read.
You know, Bobby, you grew up
in a poor and disenfranchised area. Do you
still feel poor on the inside?
As much money as I make, I'll always
be a poor guy that has money for my
whole life. Like, my biggest struggle
was, and this is not, you know, we all
have struggles, but for me, mentally,
I still overpay my bills by like 10 bucks
a month. You do? Yeah, because I'm afraid
that I'm going to be poor again and not have a job.
And then I need a buffer.
I need a month or two months to be able to kind of bounce back and get back on my feet.
So I still feel like that same kid that grew up.
But you have so many different things going on, you know, aside from radio.
Yeah, but it could all stop tomorrow.
You know, you are doing your comedy.
You're doing your music.
And you have your production company also.
Yeah.
All that stuff is happening.
It could all not happen tomorrow.
I don't know if it could all not happen tomorrow,
because I think the reason you diversify
the different things you do,
if one thing doesn't happen, you're good,
because you have 10 other things.
But if the radio thing dies, it all dies.
That's the head of the snake.
That's not true.
That's a fact.
That's the head of the snake.
I feel that way, too.
And I appreciate iHeart as much as I possibly could.
I love them, because without them,
I wouldn't be here.
Without them, I wouldn't be friends with you guys. Without them, I appreciate iHeart as much as I possibly could. Love them because without them, I wouldn't be here.
Without them, I wouldn't be friends with you guys.
Without them, I wouldn't write a book.
You know, so it's out and we'll see what happens.
But let me say this.
I say that in all, you know, just being as transparent as possible. Like, I consider Charlamagne one of my best friends in all the media.
Like, and I have like two friends, right?
And so, like, we talk on a regular basis and
charlotte may text me and he goes hey what happened i said i don't know i think i just
did something bad and i gotta find a million dollars for it and he sent me a whole page i
wrote about it in my book of all crying emojis laughing so hard and as everyone else i mean it
was hurting like they were coming hard like charlotte was the only one that was like this
is what legends are made of.
You're going to get through this.
And on the other side of it, you're going to look back and go,
I got fined a million dollars and I'm still alive.
He was the only person to say that to me.
And I told him that a hundred times.
It's the truth, though.
You got fined a million dollars.
Well, Charlamagne's fine is the funny out of anything that's horrible.
Especially if it's something that happens to you.
You could be on the bridge right about to jump,
and he'd be like, look at your shoes!
You got to tell the listeners what happened.
Bobby accidentally hit the emergency alert system.
Was it an accident?
Which went to the White House.
No, it came from a story, because what happened was he was watching the baseball.
I thought it was a good bit.
No, he was watching baseball, and right when he was about to, I believe, hit a home run,
it went right into the emergency thing.
So he reenacted that for his listeners.
You just didn't know you couldn't do that.
You didn't know you couldn't do that. You didn't know you couldn't do that.
It set off alarms at the White House.
I have no comment, but you guys are talking about something that's very familiar.
Anyway, I got fined.
You know what?
It wasn't a million dollars.
It was that I let people down that had trusted me.
It was people like Bob Pittman and Rich Bressler and Jennifer Limegruber.
There's people that have taken me and us and said,
you guys are the guys, and I feel like I let them down.
But you didn't know.
It wasn't a mistake.
Like, you wanted to hurt somebody.
I was ignorant.
It's my fault.
If I'm ignorant, it's my fault.
But now all you guys got to take a test every year because I'm an idiot.
We don't have to go through that.
Yeah, Bobby Bones went through that, so hopefully we don't have to go through that.
But it made me respect the company more because I'm like,
they know Bobby's not an asshole.
They know Bobby made a mistake, and they're standing by Bobby.
Right.
I respected that.
And I appreciate it.
And when I mess up,
I hope that they stand by me too.
Because I'm like,
well, you're making
some of Bobby's issues.
That's it.
That's it.
And if he don't,
guess what I'm saying?
Racism.
All right.
Now that I'm thinking back
about Bobby Bones that I heard,
I think you just asked me
to sleep with you or something.
Really?
I would never ask a girl
to sleep with me ever in my life.
That is not true. I mean, that's 0% true, but would you? I think you just asked me to sleep with you or something. Really? I would never ask a girl to sleep with me ever in my life.
That is not true.
I mean, that is 0% true, but would you like to?
He might have asked you if you'd like to.
I was asking.
I can do anything on a microphone.
Right, as long as you're on the mic.
It's off the radio.
For sure. Tonight, right over in Tribeca.
That's where I am if you want to come hang.
Which hotel?
Off the mic.
Okay.
Okay.
Which hotel?
Okay. If there's somebody you should
sleep with, yeah, I'm saying
Bobby wouldn't be a bad choice.
Clean. Completely clean.
You've probably been single
digits as far as girls body count.
Five. Five in his whole life.
Really? Yeah.
Five. So you're not very
experienced. Yeah, you got me there.
I'm not going to. You got me there. I'm not, I'm not gonna lie.
I got, I've had, I've slept with five girls in my entire life.
Or do you not count some people?
No, no, I count everybody.
And I've only ever had sex with, like, serious girlfriends.
Here's the reason.
One, I don't want to get a disease.
Okay.
Two, I can't have a baby.
My mom had me when she was 15.
So I look, and that, to me, in my head, it holds.
Like, I hold that.
I'm like, man, you know, now I'm in and I can, I can, but still it's there.
And I don't want to mess with some girl's head too.
Like I don't want to sleep with someone.
And it's just a human, I don't, you know, I don't want to have someone, you know, fall
in love or I don't want to fall in love with somebody else and not be able to go forward.
Hardcore.
So that explains.
Like count, times, numbers, steps, all that.
You don't even tell people you love them.
I've never told a girl I loved her in my life.
Really?
I had the best girlfriend,
two, three of the best girlfriends ever.
I never told them.
What do you say when they say I love you?
I kiss them so their mouth stays closed.
I was a virgin until my 20s.
Like, when did you leave your virginity?
Eight.
I got molested by my cousin's ex-wife.
That's right, you told me that.
You're right.
So you watch a lot of porn or no?
No, none.
None.
Zero.
Like, nothing moral.
Just, I don't want viruses on my computer.
Like, I spend too much money on my computer for there to be a virus on it because I watched
some clip.
Right.
So, no, yeah, none.
I mean, if it was just like in the air, I'd watch it.
You just use your imagination.
Yeah.
Or my, you know, five girlfriend experiences.
Or Kate Beckinsale.
Like, that's like my dream.
This is my last question.
You don't really describe in the book how you learned business.
Because growing up in Arkansas, poor, I didn't really see anything that would make me say,
okay, this guy's got a background in business.
But you actually owned the Bobby Bones show early on.
Yeah.
How did you know to do that?
And I still own part of it, oddly.
I didn't know to do that.
I don't know anything. I didn't know to do that. I don't know anything.
I didn't know anything.
I fail because I continue to try to reach outside my box.
And, you know, that's what I tell people constantly.
Like, reach out the box and fail and fail and fail
because eventually one of those failures is not going to be.
And that's the one people remember you for.
I mean, I tried for 34 radio jobs.
I got three in my whole life.
I mean, that's not a good batting average.
Every day, I just, it's a grind,
but I love it. I love what I do, and
I appreciate you guys for what you
guys do. I try to be a
trendsetter. I try to follow, like you guys,
like, man, you guys got to lock down completely.
So, it's good. Things are good.
The book is out. It's doing great.
There's a lot of humiliating stories, a lot of
stories about trying to make it out of
what's like half country, half hood.
I'm proud of it. I didn't know if I would be.
I was scared it would come out. I didn't know
what kind of backlash I'd get from my family, quite frankly.
Thank you guys. Really appreciate it.
The Breakfast Club is by Bones out right now.
Morning everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. It's Friday!
Yes it is. Yes it is. I don't know exactly what that means, but we're excited about Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. It's Friday! Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
I don't know exactly what that means, but we're excited
about it. Oh, you know what that means.
What does it mean?
This guy got a white van, I'm telling you.
You got a white van, man.
You got a white van and some rubber gloves.
I'm telling you.
You gotta watch this guy. Let's get to the rumors.
We're talking fat jail.
Listen up. It's just to the rumors. You know what that means. We're talking Fat Joe. Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, we talked about Fat Joe on ESPN's Highly Questionable and how he revealed who Biggie
was talking about in that song, I Got a Story to Tell.
Check it out.
You were very good friends with Biggie.
Story to Tell. Who was it about? Give us the nick. Like, you're a Story to Tell. Check it out. You were very good friends with Biggie. Story to Tell.
Who was it about?
Give us the nick.
Like, you're the closest we're going to get to this.
Well, the guy, I could tell you, but I don't want to be disrespectful.
But it was about Anthony Mason.
Rest in peace.
Oh, Fat Joe.
Well, I didn't know that.
Did you know that?
I had no idea. I didn't know.
I'm just glad Biggie had his gun because Anthony Mason
was a goon. Anthony Mason would have been the top goon
in all 50 states. He was big as
hell. Well, now Fat Joe kind of feels
like he maybe gave up too
much information because here's
what he had to say about revealing
who that New York Knick was.
I regret saying that.
I didn't know. I don't know if it was. I regret saying that. I didn't know.
I don't know if it was my place to say that.
You know what I'm saying?
And I just knew about it so much.
And I didn't realize nobody else knew.
Like, I thought everybody knew.
Nobody knew.
I thought everybody knew.
Fat Joe, I'm going to tell you,
we don't regret you saying it.
I love the fact that all the OG hip-hop artists, they really don't care no more.
So sorry.
They're telling things that they would have went to their grave with.
That's why I like listening to Nori's Drink Champs podcast, because they just be talking now.
And I love it.
And they just talking, and they got to backtrack and explain what they really meant.
Or say that they shouldn't have said it.
Diddy and Ho, we need you all to start speaking.
Start slipping up, all right?
Ho ain't going to say nothing.
No, that's never happening.
Ho ain't saying nothing.
Okay, so there was a Whitney Houston hologram that was supposed to make its debut.
Now, I'm sure you guys saw this all over the internet yesterday.
Some people thought it wasn't real, but it was Christina Aguilera performing with Whitney's hologram.
Now, that was supposed to be a duet that was going to happen on the season finale of The Voice.
It was supposed to be a surprise, but that surprise got ruined.
That doesn't look like Whitney.
Right. I'm watching it on Revolt TV.
It looks nothing like Whitney.
You can see what that hologram looks like.
I'm not going to say it don't look nothing like Whitney.
It don't look like her. Look, when they get a close-up again.
Well, that's the point. You shouldn't get close-up on the hologram.
Just keep it like that. That's cool.
Yeah, like that looks good.
You got to treat it like a woman is when she don't have makeup on.
When a woman don't have makeup, she don't want the camera all in her face.
Just don't get all up in Whitney's face.
She doesn't look like Kerry Washington.
Well, anyway, it appears that it's not going to happen now.
There's no longer going to be that hologram performance.
On The Voice, they said that they just weren't satisfied.
The hologram simply didn't look like Whitney.
And they thought Christina Aguilera did a great job.
But until technology catches up, they didn't want to Whitney. And they thought Christina Aguilera did a great job, but until technology catches up,
they didn't want to use that hologram.
Plus, it kind of leaked out and spoiled the surprise.
Everybody saw it already.
I mean, did Tupac's hologram really look like Pac?
It was close.
Or was it just the abs and the tattoos?
Probably just the abs and the tattoos.
It was way closer to that.
And you know, they are developing this Biggie hologram as well now.
Are they?
Yeah, absolutely.
In accordance with the family and the
estate and all of that. So we'll see how that
turns out. All you gotta do is put Rick Ross in there.
Alright, and he does not look like Biggie.
Stop it. Suge Knight is so
afraid that his parents are going to die before he's
released from jail. He is actually trying to go see
them. Now his 74 and 77
year old parents are in pretty bad shape
and so Suge has filed new documents.
He wants the judge to allow them to visit him in jail.
He wants phone privileges so he can speak to them.
He said he has been just completely cut off from his family.
He hasn't been able to see his sister, his six-year-old son.
He had no idea he would have no communication.
So he is actually begging to be allowed to see his parents.
Next week, they'll rule on that request.
We'll see what happens.
All right. I mean, you know, this is a on that request. We'll see what happens. All right.
I mean, you know, this is a thing called prison.
You don't really get too many privileges in there.
That's one of the reasons you shouldn't go.
Well, that is your...
Do things to cause yourself to be there.
Rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
All right, Ms. Yee.
Charlemagne.
Yes.
Who you giving that donkey to?
Very interesting because I always tell y'all that the donkey energy is contagious.
So if you're around a donkey situation, it could cause you to do donkey things.
And this is one of those situations.
I need a man named Jonathan Lowe to come to the front of the congregation.
He's a TV reporter in Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd like to have a word with him.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the Day, ask Jungle Man.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question.
So like a donkey.
Keyhole.
Donkey of the Day.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one.
Yes, Donkey of the Day for Friday, May 20th, goes to a TV reporter in Arizona named Jonathan Lowe.
Now, Jonathan works for KPHO in Phoenix,
and he was out reporting on a local news story involving Patrick Zane Thompson,
a father of four and former college ball player
who admitted to putting his family's dog in a smoker
because God or the devil, one of the two, told him to.
I can't make this kind of stuff up, people, okay?
Thompson got upset because of a T-shirt his 17-year-old daughter had on.
In fact, he thought the T-shirt had something to do with the devil,
so Thompson made his daughter take the shirt off
and go with him to the barbecue smoke in the backyard,
and he threw it in there and burnt it.
Now, by the way, something similar like this happened to me when I was younger.
My mom had bought me a Washington Redskins sweatshirt
with Mark Rippin on the front. He was the quarterback.
I put him at the time and my father, a diehard Dallas
Cowboy fan, took it in the yard
and burnt it. So that isn't too strange to me.
But what makes this story strange
is when Thompson went back in the house and told
his kids he had to make a sacrifice
of a male. Yes, Illuminati
all through your body. Blows like a 12
gauge shotty. A male sacrifice had to
be made. So Patrick went and took the family dog,
a small white poodle weighing about 15 pounds.
He broke the dog's neck.
He strangled the dog.
And then he told his family he had to put the dog in a lake of fire.
A lake of fire wasn't available.
So the next best thing was the barbecue smoker.
When police officers inspected the smoker,
they found the dog dead inside of the barbecue smoker.
Now, keep in mind, Patrick Thompson isn't even donkey of the day.
But I want you all to understand that energy is contagious.
You have to avoid the unhappy and unlucky.
Energy is never lost or destroyed.
It's merely transferred from one party to the next.
And when it's strong donkey energy at work, you have to stay away or it can infect you, okay,
and cause you to make dumbass decisions.
And this is what happened to today's donkey of the day, Jonathan Lowe.
See, Jonathan Lowe is a TV reporter.
And he went to report on the Patrick Thompson story as any good reporter should.
But Jonathan Lowe, he ended up getting arrested.
Yes, the TV reporter Jonathan Lowe who went to report on the dog getting barbecued ended up getting arrested.
You want to know why he got arrested?
Why?
Because Jonathan Lowe must have ate something bad.
He must have tasted a little bit of the dog that was in the barbecue.
And it caused him to take a poop right on the front lawn of Patrick Thompson's house.
Okay?
Okay, right on the front lawn.
Listen, man, if you got to do a number two,
you just better wait until you get to a safe space.
But Jonathan didn't wait.
He took a poop right on Patrick Thompson's lawn.
This is the TV reporter reporting on the story.
So he was arrested on charges of public defecation while on the job.
Okay?
According to reports, Lowe chose to use the front yard of a residence
to relieve himself.
An onlooker from across the street called it in the offices.
They approached him.
He said he had to relieve himself, and they arrested him.
He was charged with public defecation.
That's a class one misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 or six months in jail.
Now, if I was Jonathan, I would have just pooped in the dude's house.
Never in my life have I ever thought about pooping on someone's lawn.
Have you, Yee?
No, never.
And you love to pee outside, but you've never pooped outside.
I've never done that.
Envy, have you ever pooped on somebody's lawn?
No.
But both you and Envy have pooped in your pants.
I have sharted on myself twice in my life.
So I don't know.
If you had to choose, would it be in your pants or on the lawn?
In the pants.
In my pants.
Never in my life have I thought about doing it on someone's lawn.
That's like pooping in a gas station bathroom.
That's just gross.
This has never crossed my mind simply because I know better
and because I've seen Friday,
and I never want something like this to happen to me.
What the hell are you doing back here?
From over here, it looks like you're taking a s***.
Hey, back here taking a s***.
But Jonathan Lowe, I just want you to put one hand on your stomach
and listen to these smooth sounds from the Hamilton's real quick, okay?
Oh, my goodness.
You are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yeehaw. Well, thank you for that donkey today, Sean. the day. Hee haw.
Well, thank you for that dunking
Well, since we are the king of trash
morning radio, let's just
bring in the king of trash TV. Jerry!
Jerry! Jerry!
Jerry! Jerry! When we come
back, Jerry Springer, keep it locked.
Oh man, that's the Breakfast Club.
Come on. That was
Missy Elliott.
Get your freak on.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now we have the ex-mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the building with us today.
That's right.
Please don't get up. Former soldier.
That's right.
News anchor.
Yes.
Now the king of trash TV.
Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry!
Now, Jerry, which one of these guys used to be a woman?
Oh, you used to be a woman.
That is a fact.
The beige guy used to be a woman.
That blue spaghetti strap dress you had with the red pumps.
Yes.
I knew it.
Turn me on.
Jerry, glad that you're here today, man. Jerry, it's a good thing you're back today.
Glad that you're here today, man.
Hey, thanks, man.
But, you know, the funny thing is they do call you the king of trash TV.
How proud am I?
But you have such a polished background.
Like, you know, former mayor of Cincinnati, like Envy said, news anchor.
Like, how did this happen?
I was drinking.
No, I, well, you know, know my interest i wasn't trained to be in
entertainment i mean that just happened i mean i fell into that you know because i went to law
school and i was in politics my first job was with bobby kennedy out of law school and then when he
was killed i started practicing law and then i was still pissed off about the war in Vietnam or whatever.
This was back in 1970.
So I ran as an anti-war candidate for the U.S. Congress, and that led to me ultimately being mayor and all that kind of stuff.
So, yeah, my background and my real interest, passion, are much more political than that.
But then I got a job.
NBC hired me to anchor the news in Cincinnati,
and I did that for 10 years, and that company owned talk shows.
Phil Donahue was retiring, and so they assigned me.
I mean, that's how I got the job.
I was assigned because I was anchoring the news.
They said, Phil's retiring.
We're starting a new talk show.
You're going to host it.
I was an employee.
I heard you were supposed to be an imitation of Phil,
like even down to the glasses, the hair. They wanted you to be just like Phil. Yeah, well, I was going to get a. I was an employee. I heard you were supposed to be an imitation of Phil. Even down to the glasses, the hair. They wanted you
to be just like Phil. Yeah, well, I was going to get
a facelift, but I decided to have
Face off. Yeah, but I decided to have my
body lowered. It's cheaper.
Body lowered.
Now, since you're such a political guy,
what do you think about Donald Trump?
All his supporters come on your show for years.
Oh, no.
Those are the type of people voting for Trump.
No, I tell you what, I was thinking of running against Trump.
And because if I ran for president, they really would build a wall on the border.
Because you'd have to build a wall to keep Americans from trying to get out.
Because everyone would be leaving.
Springer, Trump, we're out of here.
No, I mean, you know, I have nothing against him personally,
but he has no business being president of the United States.
I mean, I, ugh, no.
But you're a fan of Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, I'm a Hillary fan.
I really love her.
I think she's great.
And I loved Barack Obama before that.
He was the greatest president we've had in my lifetime.
Why do you think people don't like Hillary?
Well, the people that don't like her, it all has to do with charisma issues,
not with, you know, we've never had anyone run for president
who knows as much about the presidency as she does
that hasn't been president before.
In other words, if you think she's never been president before,
who's as knowledgeable?
I mean, what issue could you talk to her about,
about anything taking place in the world,
and you're going to know more than Hillary?
Nobody.
Hot sauce.
Yeah.
If you're just talking about, well, yeah, on hot sauce.
If hot sauce is the issue, then you wouldn't vote for Hillary.
Other than that, she's, yeah.
So anyway, so I really wanted to be president,
and I think if Trump's president,
I think people are leaving the country.
I don't know. I never knew you was from the UK.
I was born in England. I left when
I found out I couldn't be king.
I was really pissed off.
But I left when I was
five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was born in a subway
station. Really? Yeah.
No, that's true. It was during the war
and women in their ninth month would
spend the nights in the subway stations,
because those were the bomb shelters.
And I was born at 11.45 at night, so to this day, whenever I hear a train go by, you know, I get all scared.
I get all scared and everything.
Wow.
I didn't know that.
Now, what show stands out to you from the Jerry Springer show?
They're all stupid.
But you guys can pick something that stands out.
What was the worst? Yeah, what was it?
Well, the one I always say,
people get,
I mean,
the guy who married his horse
was the craziest show.
He married his horse.
I thought you said horse.
Horse.
Oh, no.
That's on every day.
That's a different show, yeah.
Was it a female horse
or a male horse?
A female.
But I think the horse was gay,
so we don't know.
It was a gay horse.
That's a gay horse.
So we don't know.
But no, the guy, we did a follow-up show because the horse left him.
She left him, yeah.
Said he was hung like a man.
I don't know what that is.
Got you.
I mean, if you're a female horse and you start dating a male human, it's like, eh, the penis ratio don't add up.
Well, you'll be happy to know I came out against it.
How much of Springer is scripted?
None of it.
Really?
Well, I'm not allowed to knowed? None of it. Really?
Well, I'm not allowed to know what the show's about.
Really?
So you see me carrying that card around,
but all the card has on it
are the names of the guests.
And then I'm supposed to ask questions
that you would ask sitting at home watching
and then make jokes.
So we all don't know together.
Right, because if I knew what was going to happen,
then I'd have to fake looking surprised.
So I really don't know what's going to... If I knew what the show was about, then I'd have to fake looking surprised. So I really don't know what's
going to... If I knew what the show was about, I wouldn't come
in. You remember the first
fight on the Jerry Springer show? Yeah, actually it was
about the Klan. Yeah.
We had some Klan people
and people in the audience
charged and we didn't have any security
because whoever thought there'd be a fight on a talk show.
Wasn't even Steve then. Yeah, no.
And that's why we hired Steve.
I mean, the next day we realized, you know, this could be dangerous.
So we, you know, we got security.
See, I feel like early on the fights were real,
but then they kept it going because it bought ratings.
Because I remember being in school and everybody would be talking about,
you got to go home and watch this spring show.
They'd be fighting on there.
And I'm like, fighting on TV?
Well, they're still doing it.
A lot of markets cut away
at certain points from the fight.
But if you're there, they're still fighting.
Because it feels like there could be potential lawsuits,
but I guess people have to sign a waiver.
Yeah, all the things are signed. Plus,
there's really good security there.
So you may pull someone's wig off.
as far as you go.
That's really it.
Anybody ever hit you? No, I'm pretty much of a wimp. but that's really it but yeah no one really
anybody ever hit you?
no I'm pretty much
of a wimp
when it looks tough
I'm out in the audience
you do
you go all the way
to the back
you go all the way
to the top of the audience
plus I wear rented suits
I can't afford
to have them ripped up
do you ever stay in touch
with any of the guests
that were on the show?
have you seen our guests?
I mean
maybe you want to follow them.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, hey, hey, let's stay in touch. What's your
number, man?
I'm telling you, most of your guests,
I guarantee you, are Trump supporters.
I hope not.
But, well,
either that or they don't vote.
Yeah, but are they voting now because
Trump's talking directly to them. Nobody's ever talked to that demographic before.
Look, what's wrong
is I don't know personally what he
believes, but what the
message is, it appeals
to our worst instincts.
It appeals to, you know,
there's a reason why all these white supremacist
groups are supporting him. There's a reason
you know, I mean, it just
the idea of picking on people because of their
race or their religion or where they're from,
it is so un-American. I mean, the whole
concept of saying, let's make America great again,
that is totally what
America is not supposed to be about.
So, I mean,
it's just horrible. You know, our
symbol is a Statue of Liberty, not a
wall. You know, I mean,
we've gone around the world saying, tear
down this wall. Let people be
free. And what are you going to do? Have America be
a fortress? I mean, it's
horrible. It really is.
I don't think he'll win. Okay, well, we got
more with Jerry Springer when we come back.
Keep it locked.
That was Rihanna with Work. Morning
everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
Jerry Springer's in the building.
Now, Jerry, did you see the interview with Hillary Clinton up here?
Did you like it?
Yeah, I thought it was great.
I mean, you know, this is God's truth.
What I said when I saw it was, this is what America should see as her.
Because too many people think that she's just stiff and everything's political.
But she was just relaxed with you guys.
I mean, because if you know her personally, you know she's really warm.
She's funny.
You know, and look, she's not naturally a campaigner.
And you can't teach somebody that.
I think it's because she's overqualified for the position
and she knows it. So it's almost like I really have to
campaign and tell y'all that I'm the best person for this job
amongst these guys. And some of her jokes might come
across as inappropriate in the wrong
setting because everything is very
overanalyzed. She's not a natural
politician. But in terms
of knowing what the job is about
and the tough decisions, you know, if I'm
looking for somebody who's really cool
or whatever, fine. Then I'll find
someone. I'm not looking for someone who's cool
to be president. I want someone
that, when you go into a bank
and someone's
handling your account or whatever,
you don't care if they know how to sing
or if they're great dancers. I want
someone who can watch with the money that's in the
bank. So when I hire a president, I want someone that knows something about world affairs, knows something about the country.
Do you think people have an issue with the fact that she's a woman, too, really?
Well, there's still some that do.
There's still some that do.
But, you know, whoever thought we would have an African-American as president?
So barriers are coming down, and I think she'll bring down the next barrier.
But you know, Barack made it kind of hard for Hillary
because Barack was cool. He was totally cool.
So now we want a cool president. Exactly.
It's very hard to follow him if that's what
we're looking at. But I think we have to separate
you know,
showbiz, pop culture
from the presidency. That is a very
important job that, you know,
I don't care if you can dance.
Just know how to deal with world issues.
Absolutely.
Were you surprised at the success of Steve Wilkos?
No.
That's why we gave him a show.
We produced that show.
He signed to you.
Pardon?
He signed under you.
Yeah, your production company.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, NBC Universal.
But, yeah, we produced his show.
And, yeah, he's a real cool guy.
In fact, his wife was our executive
producer. Oh, y'all keeping it all in the family.
They met on my show. Really?
Oh, we're totally incestual.
This is real. I feel like
your show missed the internet wave. I feel like
your show was going viral before there was such a thing
as going viral. Yeah, well, that's
true, because
it's 25 years old, so when we started,
people weren't on. We didn't have cell phones when the show started.
So, yeah.
But when people used to complain about what's on my show,
what are people putting on their phones every single day?
You know, whether it's Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, whatever.
It's all, it's nothing more salacious than,
our show is not more salacious than what the kids are doing every day on the phone.
We heard a rumor that you actually have a flip phone still, like you don't have a new phone.
Stop it, Jay.
Rumor?
Stop it.
Is that a rumor?
Don't you do it, Mr. Springer, don't do it.
Oh my God.
Wow.
You're like a drug dealer from the 90s.
Yeah, but you laugh, but let me tell you something about this phone.
You can't pocket dial anyone.
I could be, we're here in New York, right?
I could be in New Jersey, and if I dial your number, you could hear me.
I mean, that's what phones are for.
That's a phone.
That's what he's saying.
That's what this does.
So basically you're saying you're not into the texting and the social media and all that stuff.
You don't need all of that.
Well, I may need it, but I don't know.
Well, first, I look at the letters on the damn thing,
and they're not alphabetical.
They're out of order.
Yeah.
How can you text?
Where do you find the letters?
That's like a hot dog with nothing on it.
It doesn't go A, B, C, D.
They got an A, and then there's an L, and there's a V.
So you can't put any apps on that phone?
No Twitter, no Instagram, nothing.
No, but if you talk loudly, they can hear you.
A flip phone is like a hot dog with nothing on it.
Hello, it's Gerald.
How are you?
Gerald.
How is it being Jared?
Is it like, because you've been a star for a long time.
I'm not a star, I'm an astronaut.
Do you get groupies?
Well, among senior citizens.
Oh, when I hit the nursing homes, turn me on.
Turn me on.
I thought he was going to say turned up.
If someone's walking in with a walker, they can't run away fast on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Turn me on. Someone's walking in with a walker.
They can't run away fast enough.
You sound like Bill Cosby.
No.
What are you talking about?
They can't run away fast enough.
No.
Well, because they're on walkers.
No.
No, I'm old.
I mean, you know.
You know, every...
Yeah.
You weren't always old, though, Jerry.
Your penis was working at some point in your life.
Oh, but still works.
I'm sure it still works.
It still works, I'm sure.
Is that what they call it?
I was wondering what the hell is that thing?
That's what
it is. Oh my
word. Have you ever
had beef with Maury?
Like you and Maury had beefing or something like that? No, no, no.
No problems with your talk show?
Zero. Y'all like the Tupac and Biggie
of that trash TV thing, I guess.
Pull up one of them or something?
No, I don't.
Look, my show's stupid, so anyone who says it's stupid, I say, yeah.
And?
Do you want me to do it?
Yeah, and I'm not a confrontational guy at all, so I don't have arguments with anyone.
But I don't see Maury that often, but every time I see him, he's totally nice to me.
Right.
Yeah, so everyone's totally nice to me. Right.
Yeah, so everyone's always been very nice.
You would think with such a controversial show, no one's ever in my face.
I mean, never.
Not like, well, very rarely.
If you ask me to come up with an incident where someone was mean to me personally,
it never happens because it's show business.
See, in politics, people can really get to hate you because they hate what you stand for.
But when you're on television, nobody hates you.
If they don't like the show, they don't watch it.
You don't go around and say, I hate someone because I saw him in a movie and I hated the movie.
It's a little different in the black community.
The reason I say that is because we'll watch things we hate just to complain about it.
And I say the same thing.
If you don't like something, don't watch it.
Exactly.
That's why God gave us remote control and these flip phones.
Right.
Flip phones.
We appreciate you joining us.
I didn't know you were from Queens, too. I didn't know you grew up in Queens.
Kew Gardens.
I went to PS99, Russell Sage Junior High, Forest Hills High School.
Wow.
And I got stood up for my senior prom.
What was her name?
I'll just give you the first name.
Phoebe.
She's probably dead now.
Phoebe.
Hold on.
She's outside right now. We're going to bring her in. No! Phoebe Hold on she's outside right now
No!
Phoebe come here
So she stands me up for the prom
And you think she's not
Kicking herself now?
Do you ever go on her Facebook to make sure
She's still doing bad?
I don't know
Here's the thing I'm still not over it
There you go Jerry
It's the day before the thing. I'm still not over it. There you go, Jerry. There you go, Jerry.
Yeah, it's the day before the prom.
Right.
Okay, I've just gotten a new suit.
I'm going to, what is it, a tuxedo?
Tuxedo, yeah.
So she calls up the day before.
She says, Gerald, I'm not feeling well.
How do you know what you're going to feel like tomorrow?
There you go.
So now it's my senior prom, and I wound up having dinner because my parents felt so bad for me that mom and dad took me to dinner at the Turnpike restaurant on Queens Boulevard in New York.
Jesus Christ, what a loser story.
It was.
So you didn't go to the prom down there?
I'm sitting there and I had meatloaf.
Oh my God.
Mess, but that was my senior prom.
You didn't have a cousin or somebody you could bring as a stand-in?
Well, that would have been my first date.
This is God's truth.
I had no dates in high school.
I didn't start dating until college.
I made up for it.
There you go.
Caught up.
That is God's truth.
I did not have a date in high school.
You let them know you're worth $75 million now, Jerry.
Okay?
More.
Jerry's like a little more than that.
A little more? No, I'm just looking at it. Did $75 million now, Jerry. Okay? More. Jerry's like a little more. A little more?
No, I'm just looking at you.
Did you say, do I want a loan?
Yes.
You uttered those words.
Yes, you did.
You said, do I want a loan?
Yes, you did.
I did say, do you want a loan?
Yeah.
Seriously, go to the bank and get a loan.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Jerry.
Jerry.
Jerry.
Jerry.
It's Jerry Springer.
It's the Breakfast Club. Goodinger. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Yeah, we're in the studio watching Puff and the Family on the Today Show.
Salute to Diddy.
He did a great job.
Salute to Mase, one of the top three corniest people breathing.
In 2016, Mase got to evolve, man.
All those dances he was doing in the 90s look corny on stage now,
but God bless him.
Wish him the best.
Well, let's get to the rumors because after the rumors, I'm doing a B.I.G. mix.
Of course, tomorrow is his birthday.
So midnight tonight is his birthday.
We're doing a B.I.G. mix.
Let me know your favorite B.I.G. joints.
But right now, let's get to the rumors.
We're talking to BET Awards.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, the 2016 BET Awards nominations have been announced.
Okay, this is going to be airing on Sunday, June 26th live.
Now, let's discuss who you guys think should win.
Best female R&B pop artist.
Adele was actually nominated in this category.
Mm-hmm.
And Jad today, Beyonce,
K. Michelle, or Rihanna? I'm gonna always say
Beyonce, because I'm a Pinkett Smith,
Winfrey Knowles, Carter. Pop?
R&B or pop?
This was last year? Yeah, this was Rihanna.
Did Rihanna's album come out last year? Yeah.
Antique came out last year or this year?
I don't remember.
I don't know what the months are that
qualify. I don't know if it has to be from 2015 or if it's up until, you know.
I just know that Beyonce should win.
But Beyonce album just came out like a couple weeks ago.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I mean, it comes to a point in time, a lot of these people that are nominated,
it's really just Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Right.
Like, you know.
All right, what about Best Actress?
If you had to give it to Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson,
Tracee Ellis Ross, or Viola Davis?
What?
Yeah, I kind of ignored you.
That's like a range.
What I get is all TV, I guess.
Say it again.
Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington,
Taraji P. Henson, Tracee Ellis Ross,
or Viola Davis?
Taraji.
I mean, my first instinct was to say Tracee Ellis Ross
because I love her on Black-ish.
But Taurasi, they love her in
Empire, too.
I ain't mad at none of those.
Now that's a tough one.
Best movie? Beast of No Nation,
Concussion, Creed, Dope, or Straight Outta
Compton? Creed.
For me. It's hard
between Creed and Straight Outta Compton.
I like Creed and Dope the best out of all of them.
Creed made me cry, but...
Straight Outta Compton
was a great movie, too, though.
I teared up a little bit,
but I love Straight Outta Compton.
I'm going with Straight Outta Compton.
I'm going Creed.
I think I might have to say...
I don't know.
That's a tough one.
All right, and by the way,
since we're talking about Creed,
Floyd has a $50 million offer
out to Conor McGregor,
so we'll see if that's gonna happen.
He wants to fight
New Year's Eve in Vegas.
What's he gonna do with Creed?
Boxing. Boxing. Oh, all right. You didn't get the segue? All right, and that is going to happen. He wants to fight New Year's Eve in Vegas. What kind of thing? Boxing.
Boxing.
Oh, all right.
You get the segue?
All right, and that is your rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
All right, let me know your favorite B.I.G. joint, of course.
Okay, okay.
Biggie's birthday is tomorrow.
Drop on the clues bombs for B.I.G.
Let me know what you want to hear.

It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on, let's go.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
