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.

Allow me to introduce myself. DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. Boy, y'all have came a long way. I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does, and y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh, my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy.

Yes, you are. All I do is read about The Breakfast Club. Really? Every morning. That's good. You guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of bed. I'm like, uh, what happened at The Breakfast Club today?

Get your ass up. Hey. What happened to Good Morning USA? Hey! What happened to Good Morning USA? Guys, can you hear me? Yes. Can you hear us? Good Morning USA! Hey, what's up, guys?

Good morning, Charlamagne. Hello? Peace to the world. Hey, can you hear me? Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Toronto. Hey, can we start that over? Can we start that over? No, it's done.

No, do it again. The moment's gone. All right, here we go. Good morning, USA. Hey, fam. We ain't got Charlamagne? I don't know what's wrong with y'all, okay? You guys got to get it together.

Well, it's Friday. All right. You didn't say good morning, Toronto. I'm about to. You said it, though. But good morning, Toronto. Fix, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix. Now, I'm not going to front.

You can't ask for a do-over and then only do certain parts over. Because there was nobody else with me, just me and you. You know, I'm not even going to front. Shout to all the teachers out there. We appreciate you. But you can't give these kids homework like this. Because you and I both know when you give them classwork and you give them homework, the parents got to do it. And I don't have no problem.

Hold on now. You should not be doing your kids' homework. I'm not doing the kids' homework. I didn't say that. All I'm saying is it's a lot. So, you know, I got five kids. I got one in college, one in high school. Those two are on their own.

They got to figure it out. But the seven-year-old, the six-year-old, and the four-year-old, yo, this is difficult. So, you know, of course, they go to a new school and my nanny, I had my nanny for like six, seven years. She went back to her country, Ecuador.

So, you know, me and my wife, I had, you know, we're doing everything, everything, everything, everything, cooking, cleaning, everything until we find a new nanny. So I have to get up extra early. It sounds like rich people problems,

I'm not going to lie. Yeah, it might be, but this is difficult because I ain't used to this. So I had to get up extra early. This sounds like rich people problems, Zambie. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, it might be, but this is difficult because I ain't used to this. So I have to get up early, an hour early to cook breakfast. So you know we're on air at 6, so I'm up at like 4.45 cooking breakfast. And then my son told me he didn't do his homework. So I was like, all right, we'll knock it out. No, there is no knocking it out. This is a long homework.

We've been doing homework since 4.45 to just right now when I had to click in. But nobody told y'all to have five kids. I didn't think the school was going to be like this. I didn't think it was going to be virtually. I'm kidding. My goddaughter was at my house yesterday and she told me that she's in college now. She's in her second year.

She told me that they're giving her six hours in one class. Six hours of homework. That's, that's too much. That is way, like, look, like this, like, look. You see all this? You see all this? You see I had to help him cut all these things? Oh, shoot, I just dropped one, damn it.

But anyway, yeah, I had to have to do all of that. Like, this is a lot of work. Like, this virtual learning is no joke. We got to figure it out. I don't know what we have to do. Oh, I understand the kids got to learn, joke we got to figure it out i don't know what we have to do oh i understand the kids got to learn but we got to figure it out and if you're a parent out there you probably feel like all the parents imagine all the parents without nannies well that's me right now i don't have a nanny that is me and then gear has to drive them to the school

which is a 30-minute drive oh i want my goodness. I want to sympathize, man, but... And then my kids, they get bougie on me. So I try to make them Froot Loops. I wonder where they got it from. You're right. Look, we just going to make Froot Loops and milk. My daughter was like, I want bacon. I'm like, your dad's not cooking bacon right now.

You're going to have Froot Loops and milk. I want bacon. Irma cooks me bacon. I'm like, well, Irma, she's not here anymore right now. You got to have Froot Loops and milk. I want bacon. Irma cooks me bacon. I'm like, well, Irma, she's not here anymore. So you got to realize that. You just got to eat this little bar and this PDA show, and we got to go to school. All right, well, that's my problem.

I'm sorry, guys. Yeah. Well, today is the 19-year anniversary of when 9-11 happened, too. I just want to also show our respects this morning as well, first and foremost. Yeah. 19 years. Where's Charlemagne? Does anybody know?

No idea. Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, man, what do you think? If you had to guess, what are we talking about this morning? I don't know.

I've been doing homework. Are we talking about teachers and homework? What are we talking about? Well, we are, of course, going to talk about Donald Trump. But then I want to talk about this store that is closing, and this has me really upset. It must be Barney's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue,

Neiman Marcus, or Bergdorf. One of those. But we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, since you, I just want to tell you you were wrong when you said that, I said I was disappointed about a store closing and you thought it would be Barney's, Bergdorf's, Saks.

It's actually Century 21. Oh, that's another one. That was a good one. I used to be able to get all the kids' clothes from there for a great price. What was that homegirl that used to work there? Heather. I used to get my own clothes from there. Damn. Yeah, that used to be a come-up store.

Damn. Remember, that's where Envy went to go see Heather and buy some white jeans. No, that was Charlamagne that went to buy the white jeans, but go ahead. Oh. Well, they are going to be closing all stores after filing for bankruptcy. So I was really upset about that. I was just in Century 21

last weekend. So who knew that was coming? I mean, a lot of stores are closing because of this COVID thing. And people, I mean, the government got to bail them out. Like these stores are closed

and these stores have been around for years, you know, decades. And, you know, people can't get out and shop. People don't have money. You got to help people out. I know, man, that's tough. All right. Now let's flashback to the audio that we played yesterday.

This was Donald Trump at a press conference talking about the comments that he made to Bob Woodward when he was being interviewed 18 times. He got interviewed for this book, and it's called Rage. It comes out on Tuesday, and here he is saying that he did downplay coronavirus. I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down. Yes. Because I don't want to create a panic. You know, it's a very tricky situation.

It goes through air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don't have to touch things, right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that's how it's passed.

And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than your strenuous flus. Yeah, and I don't know why you would downplay that. Like, I still don't get it. Like, you tell people the truth

so they can prepare. You don't lie for them and they don't know what, I still don't get it. Like, you tell people the truth so they can prepare. You don't lie for them and they don't know what's going on and they get sick and die. You tell them the truth. Did you say he was lying? Because yesterday he denied that. Why did you lie to the American people and why should we trust what you have to say now? That's a terrible question and the phraseology. I didn't lie.

What I said is we have to be calm. We can't be panicked. Of course I didn't. Of course I didn't. No, no, no, no. And then you went out and told the American public that this was just like the flu. What I went out and said was very simple. Listen, I want to show a level of confidence. There was no lie here. You have to remember, I put the ban on China. So obviously, outwardly, I said it's a very serious problem.

That doesn't mean I'm going to jump up and down in the air and start saying people are going to die. Yeah, he's a liar. He's a politician. He just says what he wants. He says what he says, what he can remember. I'm starting to think that some of these guys are so old they don't even remember what they say. No, I didn't say that. He played it for you. That's crazy. All right. Now, he also tweeted out Bob Wood would have my quotes for months if he thought they were so bad or dangerous.

Why didn't he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn't he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic. How was he going to save lives? Because he admitted downplaying it after he downplayed it. So it's kind of over. Now, another audio clip that they played was him

denying white privilege. Do you have any sense that that privilege has isolated and put you in a cave to a certain extent? Is it put me and I think lots of white privileged people in a cave and that we have to work our way out of it to understand the anger and the pain, particularly black people feel in this country. You know, you really drank the Kool-Aid, didn't you? Listen to you. Wow. No, I don't feel that at all. Solomon, you there? Yes I am

We just played the Donald Trump saying That you drank the Kool-Aid Yeah it was stupid In the next hour we'll get back into All of that and we'll also talk about Football because football is back And that is your front page news Alright get it off your chest

800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. You know where I'm at. Teachers, I love you, and I appreciate the job that you're doing, but you're sending home too much homework. Like, it's a lot of schoolwork and homework, and especially with virtually learning. I've been doing it all morning long.

I've been up since about 445, 430 doing homework, and this is crazy. It's only been two days. I ain't seen neither one of my daughters bring no homework yet. Well, my kids need to go to that school because they've been having homework. Remember, my kids started last week. But this is a lot, bro. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a lot.

Like, a lot, a lot. But anyway, get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out.

Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months

before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? This is Charlie Trest from Jamaica, Queens, living in Jacksonville, Florida. Hey, Queens, get the money.

What's going on, brother? Get it off your chest. Not much. I want to say I'm black, blessed, and highly favored. There you go. All my peoples. All the good sides of all my peoples. I want to give a shout out to a special lady in the Bronx.

Her name is Marie. I hope she have a wonderful and blessed all my people. I want to give a shout out to a special lady in the Bronx. Her name is Marie. I hope she have a wonderful and blessed day at work. Okay, special lady. That's nice. That's nice. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Patrick from Miami.

Shout out. Real fast. What's up, Miami? Florida's on a check in. I miss Miami. Yeah. But, I mean, you can post all these videos on Trump about him just being honest, his true racist self. But you still have his mindless zombies that's going to follow him.

That's a fact. That's a fact. I feel like that's part of white privilege, too, because when you do try to talk to him, they act like they don't know. You know. They deny it. They know what's going on. And they're not all white. There's some black people, too, that are in denial. Oh, yes, there are some lost black people. I had a word for them, but I do not want to say that on the radio.

But, you know, they live in the house, okay? Are you saying they're house Negroes? That's what he's saying. Yes. Yes. And actually, I live in Miami. So you have a lot of confused Hispanics down here. Yeah.

Because they look white, they feel like they are white, you know lot of confused Hispanics down here. Yeah. They look white. They feel like they are white. You know? Our board office is like that. Stupid. Don't say that. You know? No.

But the thing is this. The thing is this. All my Black Lives Matter people, all these people that are fighting for justice, I need all you guys to go to the polls. You all need to go to the polls. I agree. Everybody got to vote. By the way, what you're saying is true.

That's the only way you're going to beat this person because you can't shame the shameless. And it's funny to me how the media continuously tries to shame the shameless. You can't shame Donald Trump. It don't even matter. You can play all those clips and do whatever you want. You can't shame the shameless. You got to go to the polls if you want this guy out.

Just remember, he said that he could go out to go to the polls if you want this guy out. Just remember, he said that he could go out to Times Square and shoot somebody and nobody would do anything. And that's literally what he's been doing his whole presidency.

Shooting us in the face and nobody says a word. Well, I was in Times Square yesterday. I think he could definitely get away with that now. Times Square is a mess. Well, God bless. All right, brother.

Have a good one. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you you too, bro. You too. All right, brother. Have a good one. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

It warms my heart every time I have a black male client. It's just so amazing that they're taking that step. I think we should definitely normalize that more.

Definitely. And I did have a question for Charlamagne. I did want to know how to be on the Black Effect Network as a guest co-host, talk about mental health, or just as a guest, period. Oh, we can make that happen. I have a couple of

mental health mindfulness podcasts that I partnered with. My girl, Debbie Brown, with the Dropping Gyms podcast, and Michelle Williams, she has the Checking In podcast. Yes, yes. Yes, absolutely. I would just love to give my, you know, two cents, four cents, 16 cents on mental health and what I've observed. Leave your info with our producer, Daniel.

We definitely need as many mental health experts checking in with us as possible. Yes, sure. I would love that. Thank you guys so much. Have a good one, mama. Absolutely. Therapy is very important. I got therapy today. All right.

Live Service, right? And I'm not going to say his name because he's already getting attacked out here for being Paul Patron and touching dogs and stuff. But there's a whole liar out here in the street. A whole liar out here lying on Angela Yee for absolutely no reason.

I didn't understand that. Who lied on Yee? Did I miss this? I'm not saying somebody who just lied for no reason. Like, this is already bad being a liar. But being a liar for no reason, I hear this lying on Yee. You bald-headed liar. Something's wrong. What are we missing?

Tell us. You going to fill us in behind the scenes or what? What's happening? No, it was on the podcast. It was on Lip Service. We were talking about it. For some reason. Okay. Well, tell us if it was on the podcast. It was on lip service. We were talking about it. For some reason. Okay.

Well, tell us if it was on the podcast. Who was it? Joe Budden, you bald-headed liar. What did he say? Did I miss this? Can somebody tell me what's going on? No, in a room full of people, he told people that I'm addicted to Adderall and that I pop Adderall all the time.

You pop Adderall? I've never to Adderall and that I pop Adderall all the time. And I was like, you pop Adderall? I've never taken Adderall in my life. And he told L'Oreal that, but there was a whole lot of people in the room. And she was like, Angela's never taken Adderall. And he was like, no, she takes it. I know for a fact. And she kept trying to explain, no, that's not true. I'm with her all the time.

And he was telling everybody. I don't know why he said that. And you want to tell the truth. When I was at Yee's first birthday party, the first time I went, that man was, I said allegedly, but I know a n***a that's on coke.

He was coked up the first time I ever met him, bro. All right, all right. We don't know that that's true, Trav. Exactly. I know a n***a on coke. He was coked up. Oh, God.

All right, y'all. Bye. All right, Trav. Bye-bye. All right, y'all. Bye. Don't leave without me. All right, Trav. Bye-bye. All right, Trav. You use Adderall? Trav always stirring it up, man.

You use Adderall? Like the messy bottom he is. I've never used Adderall in my life. I would tell y'all. You know, I don't have a problem with that. Well, what is Adderall? I don't know what Adderall is. What does it do?

It's what they use if you have, like, ADD. And a lot of times people, like, pop that so they can stay awake. People use it to lose weight. But it's a prescription medication. Oh, you don't use it, right? Where would you get that from? I would hope a doctor if they prescribe it to you. I meant hit the lie.

I meant to lie. You know, I don't know. He didn't get the doctor. Where does one get Adderall from? Goodness gracious. All right. All right. Get it off your chest. All right. 800-585-10 right. Get it off your chest.

All right. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest now. We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes. Killer Mike. People were upset with him yesterday, and he explains why he did what he did. All right.

We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. Holographs. Gossip. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

Holy gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

All right, be clear. This is Envy's team. That's not my team. I'm a Giants fan, but continue. Liar. Didn't your neighbor play for the Jets and you all was hanging out and you was going to the Jets games? Scott Bart, yes. Bart Scott, yes. And Michael Vick played for the Jets and you all was hanging out and you was going to the Jets games? Scott Bart, yes. Bart Scott, yes.

And Michael Vick played for the Jets for a little bit too, right? Okay, so you are a Jets fan. No, I didn't. Oh, no. I'm not, but I support my friends. Bart Scott lived in the neighborhood and my wife was hanging out with his wife, so we went to support. But I am a Giants fan. Everybody knows I'm a Giants fan.

Envy trying to distance himself from this guy because he was in on this scheme. Go ahead, you go. What scheme? Envy like, please don't tell on me. So Josh Bellamy has been charged for his role in a $24 million pandemic loan scheme. Those PPP loans, baby. So according to the complaint, they're saying that the scheme involved at least 90 fraudulent applications for PPP, most of which were submitted were worth more than, everything was worth more than $24 million. And a lot of those got approved and funded. So they paid out at least 17.4 million. And they said he has his

own company, Drip Entertainment, LLC, where he got a PPP loan for $1.24 million. And he also purchased more than $100,000 in luxury goods. He got some Dior, some Gucci. He spent some money at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. And he withdrew over $300,000. Well, he won't be the only one going to jail for those PPP loans. Trust me, it's a bunch of y'all right now sitting around thinking you got a blessing from God, but y'all forgot the devil got a kingdom too. And I promise you, just like most drug dealers,

you better live it up now, Bob, because you about to fall. And also, if you're going to get that type of money, at least buy something that might appreciate with value. No, God damn. Don't do that either. You can flip. I heard somebody say you I heard somebody say, yeah, well, use that and buy real estate. You cannot buy real estate. I heard T.I. say that yesterday. I'm telling you guys. I didn't say real estate, but buy something. No, T.I. did yesterday.

T.I. said something about buying property. You cannot buy property, okay? Read the guidelines, please, because you will get arrested. It's supposed to be for your business. It's supposed to be for your business. You cannot flip it. You cannot say, yo, I'm going to flip it and then put it back. No. They watch where that

money goes. What if balling is my business? What if stunting on these F***ers is my business? Bro. I'm making it my business. I'm telling people out there, you cannot. If that's your business and you got a PPP loan for that particular business, then yes. Yes. Also, these PPP loans can't be as hard to

get as some people make them out to be. Because, damn, I heard folks complaining about not being able to get loans, but I can't tell. Bro, they're getting millions. Like, not even like, okay, there's $100,000. They're getting $17 million. This business wasn't even active. Are they checking? Goodness gracious.

All right. Now, the NBA is supposedly investigating a Rockets player, Daniel House Jr. They said he let a female COVID-19 testing official into his hotel room inside of the bubble. So the NBA players, as you know, they've been isolated in a bubble to prevent the spread of coronavirus. I didn't see the problem with that. She is in the bubble. She's testing everybody, right? So if she's in the bubble, he stayed by the guidelines.

There's no woman safer to sleep with in a situation like that than the woman that does the coronavirus testing. Just want to throw that out there. Yeah, I don't know. So you can't hook up with anybody in the bubble? I don't know. In the bubble. I don't see what the problem is.

Yeah, that means you got tested. Yeah, she got tested. She's there every day. When you get in trouble in the bubble, do people say your bubble got burst? Come on, give me a little rim shot. What? What? What do you want to rim what?

What is a rim shot, man? A drum. Oh, God. Wow, you kinky, boy. You kinky. Sounds like some trouble in your bubble that you want burst. Yeah, some trouble in your bubble that you want burst. Yeah, some trouble in your bubble. A little brown bubble.

Tia Murray says that she will never forget being denied a magazine cover. And this was at a time when their show, Sister, Sister, was better in the ratings than Friends. Listen to what she said. It was around Sister, Sister days, and the show was extremely popular. We were beating like in the ratings friends. So my sister and I, we wanted to be on the cover of this very popular magazine, um, at the time. And it was a teenage magazine. And we were told that we couldn't be on the cover of the magazine because we were black and we would not sell what year was that i don't know she didn't say the year but you know i guess

you have to think about the time frame uh-huh i think about that though the black people don't sell if they're on the cover of a magazine the magazine won't sell and they tell you that's the reason. That was a lot of people's mind frame. I mean, even with movies, they wouldn't put black people in blockbuster movies because they said black people didn't sell internationally. Not all black people. And that's why Kevin Hart says he'll only do a movie if it's going to be internationally released. That's a fact. All right.

Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? Yeah, since we just talked about sports, let's talk about sports. We'll give you some updates, and then we'll talk about football, because football returned last night.

All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee with the General Insurance.

Accidents, violations, no prior insurance, even missed a few payments? Don't worry. The General covers you when others won't, and they accept most cars and drivers. Give them a call at 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. Yes, Mara Brockett will be joining us in a little bit. Good morning, everybody. The creator of the greatest show of all time, Girlfriends,

will be here. You should put some respect on her goddamn name, Envy. Yes, you could actually watch. I didn't get a chance to finish. Say what I was saying. You could watch on Netflix now. Yes, Girlfriends is on Netflix right now. Eight seasons, right? Yeah, show us your DVDs. Come on, show us your DVDs.

You know what you want to show us. Come on, let's see. Here we go. I know you got it right there. Hold on now. You walk around like that DVD. Like my daughter walks around like a blankie. So I can get rid of all of these. This is the complete season.

Not even open. Okay, keep that fresh. These are the rest of the seasons, you know what I'm saying? Girlfriends. One of the greatest shows of all time. All right. You heard me. Yes.

All right, well, let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? Well, since the gang's all here, let's talk about NBA scores from last night. The Lakers beat the Rockets 110 to 100. The Nuggets versus the Clippers is today. So that is going to be game five. And the Clippers are leading that 3-1. Yeah.

And last night, football came back. The Chiefs beat the Texans 34-20. Yeah, ain't no social distancing going on on that football field, by the way. I turned that game on last night, and everybody's standing close to each other on the sidelines. It wasn't really a lot of people in the stands, but ain't no social distancing going on in the NFL games. But didn't they all get tested?

Yeah, they all get tested. But, you know, the fans are there, and I like to see the fans there. Even though the stadium wasn't packed, it's just good to see the fans there. They're cheering. It's pretty dope. Yeah, it could only be 22%. Mm-hmm. If all them football players and all them coaches got tested

and they all negative, Corona ain't real, bro. Just want to throw that out there. Ain't no way. All right. And tonight, the Celtics versus the Raptors in that series is tied 3-3. So it's game seven. Yeah, that's going to be a great game. All right. So what happened with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans?

Well, during the National Anthem, the Texans opted to stay in the locker room, and the Chiefs did link arms for the National Anthem. Chloe and Hallie performed the rendition of the National Anthem, and they honored George Floyd and Breonna Taylor on their shirts. Also, Miami, when they're going to be playing, they actually released this video about ending police brutality and justice. Listen to this. If we could just right our wrongs, we wouldn't need two songs. We don't need another publicity parade. So we'll just stay inside until it's time to play the game. Whatever happened to the funds that were promised?

All of a sudden we got a collapsed pocket? The bottom line should not be the net profit. We need owners with influence and pockets bigger than ours. To call up officials. Inflict political power. When education is not determined by where we reside. And we have the means to purchase what the doctor prescribed. And you fight for prison reform and innocent lives.

And you repair the communities that were tossed to the side. And you admit you gained from it and you swallowed your pride. And when the courts don't punish skin color, but punish the crime. Until then, we'll just skip the long production and stay inside. Yeah, I love the message of that, but the bars were kind of weak. Stop it, stop it. I thought they were about to say one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Shut up, man.

Hey, stop it. They kept it simple, and their message basically lets you know, like they said, when they play, they are going to stay inside for the national anthems. Why'd they have to rhyme, though? Couldn't they just say, like, who wrote that? They didn't have to rhyme. I don't know who wrote that.

You know everybody wants to be a rapper. Come on, Christ. All right, and just so you know, they didn't have to rhyme. I don't know who wrote that. You know, everybody wants to be a rapper. Come on, Christ. All right, and just so you know, the Breonna Taylor case is set to go before the grand jury, so they are going to present evidence from the fatal police shooting where they killed Breonna Taylor to a grand jury as early as next week, according to sources familiar with it.

I actually saw my son yesterday, and he was, I ran into him, and he was telling me that it's going to be interesting to see what happens next week. So we are praying that their family, Breonna Taylor's family, does get some type of justice. Drop on the clues bombs for the good brother, my son, and until freedom.

I love what they've been doing in Kentucky. They've been out there for, like, weeks, you know, trying to get justice for Breonna Taylor. But I don't have no faith in this system. I just don't. I hate to be the pessimist here, but I don't have no faith in this system at all. Why would I have faith in this wicked, corrupt ass system? I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, though, but I don't see it.

Not with that attorney general. He loves Trump too much. And again, let me remind y'all, today is 9-11. It's been 19 years since 9-11 happened. So again, I always want to make sure that throughout today we are thinking about

those people who lost their lives and the families who have suffered, the firefighters, everybody who... Yes, 9-11. So 19 years ago. Yeah, I got to check. You know, that reminds me. I got to check on a friend.

I have a friend who gets very down and depressed around this time of year because he lost his father in 9-11. So hit him up. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, tell them who's going to be joining us, Charlam your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, when we come back, tell them who's going to be joining us, Charlamagne, because you're so excited. I can see it all in your face. Don't lift your butt up like that. I can see you excited. I was like, let me just stand down for this interview. Let me tell you something. We are celebrating the 20-year anniversary of one of the greatest shows of all time, Girlfriends. Okay, drop on the clues box for Girlfriends drama. And the creator of that show, Mara Brock Akil, is about to

I don't know where Envy went, but we have a very special guest in the building right now. She is celebrating 20 years of one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Mara Brock Akil is with us. Good morning, queen. Good morning. I am so happy to be here with you guys.

Oh, my God. This is, I mean, what, would there ever be a celebration without a girlfriend without you? I would hope not. I need to just sit back. You jump in there too, Ava. I hope you're a fan too.

I hope you, I hope you. I am actually a woman, but you know, I just. I am actually a black woman, so there's a lot of themes and topics I can relate to but I know I feel like I can't even compete so you know I am in this though okay good good good and for girlfriends since you guys are going to put all the seasons on Netflix this weekend we're actually the next uh episode of my podcast very dedicating to some of the topics some girlfriends like what would you

do if your man was wearing a girdle a waist trainer because envy wears waist trainers i know he's not here right now but we actually have he did get a waist trainer at one point and then started bike riding with it on and that's how he managed to lose a lot of weight it works i mean you know and it's funny it's funny how you with women, you know, girdles, I mean, that's what we were calling it in the episode, I believe. You know, it has such shame around it for women. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, to your point, now that it's a waist trainer and you can be out in the public, you put it around your T-shirt, ride your bike, and everybody's like, oh, that's cool. You know, it's like, no. It's like, no.

I want to get some dirt though, Mara, because last time- How much do you want? How much do you want, Angela? That you had the movie written already. So now that you have this deal with Netflix, is there talks in bringing that movie? This is exciting because my Netflix deal was,

you know, the mothership of Netflix is so big. My deal for an overall deal was happening on this side of the mothership and Strong Black Lead getting these 90s sitcoms. Let's just give it up for Strong Black Lead. I mean, for them to say, we are going to get our culture and we're going to put it on. We're going to put it on the big streamer out there so we can all enjoy this. Fantastic. So in terms of a movie, I'm open. We're going to put it on the big streamer out there so we can all enjoy this. Fantastic. So in terms of a movie, I'm open.

I told you guys this before when I was on the show. I'm open. I'm here. And everybody knows it's there. They've got the algorithms. They've got the analytics. If they want it, they got me. I'm right there. But I also have to, I just have this amazing new deal.

I'm so excited. I've got some other stuff to write. I got other things to do. And so when they're ready, they'll knock on my door or they'll pick up the phones and I'll be there. You know what I wanted to ask you about Tyler Perry, right? And he said that, you know, that as far as doing his shows, that he writes everything himself. He wrote the whole season himself. What are your thoughts on that? And do you think that as a creative yourself, have you ever written like a whole series on your own? Do you think that collaboration is more important?

I just want to know how you work personally. I believe in one vision, many voices. That's how I've always worked. I think part of my job as the creator, as the showrunner is to be able to articulate, this is what this is about. Then my biggest job, Angela, really is to be able to articulate this is what this is about then my biggest job angela really is to be a good listener to hear the best ideas for the greater good of the of the show i remember when you guys maybe remember that the four episode arc that we did

kimberly elise um yes yes i took that to the writer's room. They were like, what? I remember Kenya Barris was one of the first ones like, guys, this is a comedy. And I'm like, yeah, and we're going to figure this out because this is what's real and this is what's happening. Yet we are surviving it. Yet we are dealing with it. How can we be a part? How do we give back to the culture? How do we take ownership of a story that is hurting black women? The numbers that I think still now, I haven't checked them as of today, but back then the numbers were hurting black women the most. And I believe that statistic still stands. And so, oh no, we're going to take care of black women. We're going to bring this to, we're going to bring this to bear. And yeah, we're going to figure out how to be funny. So we found fun ways to talk about very tough subjects. Because even when we did the Wigger episode, you know what I'm saying,

that was a betrayal. But knowing that's what we were doing, I'm proud of that. I'm very happy that we were really, you know, able to go there and not just keep the comedy just, but I'm pumped. Was there ever a time the network shut down an episode because they felt like it would be too racy or they were like, I don't know if we can adjust this because we've seen other series where people are like, oh, this episode never came out. We saw Black-ish. They put out an episode that never came out previously. Was there ever a topic that they were kind of scared to touch? This is a fun one, Angela.

I'm very proud of this one in a lot of ways. So give me two seconds. Black women's sexuality. So I came into wanting to write Girlfriends. And at the time, most Black women characters on tv and we're also talking about music videos so music videos were huge at this time and so the the idea about black women's sexuality was you are a hoe you are groupie you're more in that category or on television because they weren't writing our interior lives you're saying so that you didn't have a personal

life you were just the judge or the asexual judge the that you didn't have a personal life you were just the judge or the asexual judge the person you don't know who they were sleeping with so it's like there's this vast void between asexual judge and the you know the the black the black woman yeah thanks so i come into the series with that on my mind that our sexuality is not going to be demonized and it is going and we need to shift and we had a lot of shame around that no we are sexual beings and that doesn't make us a hoe so there was a joke run that we did but i actually won this fight and um but it was a joke run where the girlfriends were talking about what they wanted and And it was all in great jokes, right? It wasn't direct,

but it was like what they wanted for pleasure. And it was all, and so those jokes got flagged in the script. And funny enough, I knew they were gonna get flagged. And you might remember this. There's another joke in the same script where the William character talks about his blue balls.

And they howled during the run-through about this joke. It was so funny. It was so funny. But they didn't say anything about it. So now I'm in the note session, and they're like, nope, get rid of this, get rid of this, get rid of this. And I had that sucker in my back pocket. I was like, okay.

First I argued it, just like I said, hey, this is their empowerment. And when women are empowered by their own sexuality, by their choice, they will A, be responsible. They will show up. They will buy the condoms. They're not gonna wait for a man. They will take care of themselves when they own their sexual choice.

Sex positive, right? And then they were like, mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, take it out. And then I was like, okay, well then when we're taking out blue balls too. So when basically I said, so basically yeah, yeah, no, take it out. And then I was like, okay, well then, when we're taking out blue balls too? So when basically I said, so basically what you're telling me, this is like, this is all a note session with executives.

So what you're telling me is, so jokes about sex when it's for the pleasure of men, they're okay. But when women have their own choice of pleasure, then that's not okay in 2000, whatever it was. And they turned red and they were mad. And then it was like, so then it got to agents. You know what I'm saying?

We were still talking about it. It was more like, fine, you won. And it was more like that. And I was like, thank you. All right, we have more with Mara Brock O'Keele. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Mara Brock O'Keele. Now, Charlamagne. You know, Mara, you don't get the credit you deserve for not just being a creative, but for literally reviving networks through your work. Like, you did it with Girlfriends on UPN, the game for CW, being Mary Jane

with BET. Is there rewards for that? Does that get you like green lights in Hollywood forever or what? Well, it gives me a good Netflix deal. I finally got there, but you know, I will be, I thank you for A, saying that.

I'm very proud of it. And you know, you know, I want to be, I want that to be known. I want people to see that because that took a lot of work. And I'm proud of that. It also launched a lot of careers by holding the door open, not only launching the door, but holding the door open. A lot of people got a chance to develop, which is another, is one of the biggest assets, is time and experience.

So that we can develop voices that can carry on the baton and you know you can have the insecures of the world so the rewards are in that the rewards are in in seeing that we were able to do it and we sustain it and the careers we were able to build and to be honest charlamagne i took a lot i take a lot of pride both me and celine do we take a lot of pride on the many jobs the job creation that we were able to do for people to put roofs over their head, to send kids to college, to all of those things are in this moment for me. So that would be the validation that I, you know, there are times when I feel sorry for myself when I'm ego tripping and I want some hardware, maybe I want somebody to call my name. I want somebody to

be celebrated in the way of an Emmy or things of that nature. Those are still goals of mine, but God has a plan, and I'm hoping that, and I'm still in the game. So I'll get there. It's going to be interesting because I have a feeling Girlfriends is going to break a lot of records on Netflix as far as viewing. You do? Yes. I like when you talk like that. I really do. It's going to be interesting to see how people

just come back around to you for lack of a better phrase. You are a validation to something, a fight that I said. I said, black men are going to show up for this show. They were like, because there were times when they wanted the guys to be a little sillier on the show, like sort of taking pot shots more. I said, no, this is the guys to be a little sillier on the show, like the, you know, sort of taking pot shots more at men.

I said, no, this is not going to be a male bashing show. And I think a lot of black men were worried it was going to be. Because I always said that the women are as, they're going to be as great as the men are great. We have to make great challenges for them. So anyway, that was one of my theories. And the fact that you're a big fan and your girlfriend now now your wife, said sit down and watch it. What made you stay? What are some of your favorite episodes?

What did you see that made you girlfriend's number one fan? I think because it was very relatable because it seemed, like at the time, it seemed like now. You know what I mean? Like they weren't corny. You know, like you would hear like the hip hop lingo and the hip hop conversation. And for me at the time that that cut through what was on was on TV at the time. And then it was the depictions of the women, of course, because you learn so much. But the brothers like William, because William was somebody who people might consider corny, but he wasn't.

He had a great job. He had a lot of women, beautiful women that he was. I know, Keisha Sharp, I mean, Monica Charles Brooks. Yeah, and then like Darnell was like the working class black man who was really trying to do right by his family. And you know, I just, I don't know, it's just relatable on so many different levels. Oh, thank you. William was my ode to, you know, a lot of black women were saying, there are no good black men. And I was like, we have to take ownership for a lot of the brothers we are overlooking.

Just like you were saying, Omar, you don't get enough credit. I don't think the brothers get enough credit for the good fathers that they are, the good, you know, the good boyfriends and the husbands that they are. You know, I don't think that we talk about that enough and we keep promoting one narrative all the time and so you know the dog you know that was you know

and so yeah we've run into dogs you can say we we gonna have some of those but there's a lot of good brothers and we just don't talk about them you know kelsey kelsey grandma he was the ep on girlfriends and that girlfriend got made at a time when I would assume it was harder to get a black show like that made. So how was he, as a white man, a good partner? What was the benefit? Well, and here's real simple. So he was huge.

He was like keeping the lights on at Paramount. So meaning like if Paramount had a, had any sort of losses, Frazier was the one, it was, it was writing big checks. I mean, I'm saying it was holding it down. So I met him at that stage in his career, right? He had a deal, um, like he would, and he didn't have any shows that year. He didn't, he didn't sell anything. And I was, we were kind of on the late, my development was backwards. In fact, UPN came to me and said, Mara, we would love a companion piece for the Parkers. I know Moesha and Parkers were already paired, but they were having success

with the Parkers and they thought they were maybe going to switch nights and they wanted a companion piece. So what would you do? And I basically pitched them girlfriends, but I didn't have a studio. It doesn't typically happen that way. Typically you have a studio partner and then you and the studio partner go pitch to the network. I had a network, but had no studio. And Kelsey at the time had nothing. He hadn't sold anything in the marketplace. And so he still had money on the books, you know a studio if kelsey wants to do something he could be like hey i found something let's get this in and and and this is what i love about kelsey he was very he was like it's already sold yeah i'll take that meeting it's like i don't have to do anything and and then um it was so i do I really do appreciate the fact that he said yes he could

have said no he could have just said hey I'll sit out this year but he didn't and that's how and so because he said yes and if that's all Kelsey ever did I am so thankful for that yes you know I'm saying because to come through you know to you know and that was even funny Kelsey Grammer this they got people's attention too Kelsey Grammer show about black women what is this so just sort of kept following the um the rolling rock so to speak and it was a blessing and to quote what he said about you just now he was talking about he was asked about girlfriends and he talked about how the show was going to go on strike, people were going on strike, all kinds of

issues, and he said he thought it deserved a proper send-off, and he talked about Tracey Ellis Ross being on Blackist, and then he said, Girlfriends movie would be fun, but you would have to get Mara Brock, Akil, to write it, and I'm not sure she's available right now because she's working on other projects. That was really nice

to hear. I heard that same quote, and it was really, it was beautiful to see. You know what I'm saying? After all this time that people can have, what is that quote you guys can help me with? People may not know what you did, but they only feel. Remember how to make you feel. And so it's nice to have that, a good feeling, you know what I'm saying, after all this time, and so I'm excited about that.

I just feel like it's such a no-brainer I mean I would assume Kelsey would have to be involved in if y'all did a mini-series right or a movie or something but it's like now you got Kenya Barris who was a writer on Girlfriends who's huge in Hollywood, Tracee Ellis Ross yourself, you and Kenya at Netflix I feel like it's a no-brainer for Netflix to do. You and Kenya in a room should be able to make that happen in two seconds. Yep. They didn't bring it up yet. Nobody brought it up. I haven't brought it up yet.

I just got my, again, I just got there. I just got there. Let's see what they're doing. I'm there to, I am there to build new content, and I'm excited about that. I got to do that. But, like, it should be a no brainer, Charlamagne. It should be a no brainer. It's also the thing to do in January with Fox.

So you have both of those. How does that work? We're working that out. No, no, actually I do. I I'm, I'm waiting to hear even about that project. I was, I had so much fun. I will say you were asking about my writing process. I did, I did write the, um, the pilots

for that Fox series. And so it's in a holding pattern. Like a lot of Hollywood is in a holding pattern. I mean, COVID has the pandemic. It has had a ripple effect through as a bottleneck of, of a lot happening. So I'm in that, um, I'm on the tarmac and seeing what will happen with that. But my focus right now is at Netflix to build something new. So that could very much happen. So we'll see. I am excited for this weekend. We'll be watching Girlfriends.

Everybody will be watching. If you haven't seen it, then you got to start from season one. But for everybody that is a huge Girlfriends fan, and there's so many of us, I know we'll all be revisiting this and getting it trending and making sure that we're continuing that conversation. So congratulations on the deal. Thank you. Thank you. And I hope everybody makes it an event to watch girlfriends this weekend. Like I am in my house, you know,

I hope you, I, they have watch parties and, you know, I'm having one too. I'm gonna have a little IG. I call it my IG precinct. I'm gonna one, too. I'm going to have a little IG. I call it my IG precept. I'm going to do that, and I think it would be fun to see who shows up for that. At 5, I'm going to go on IG Live with Strong Black Lead. I'm so thankful to them. And then at 6, I'm going to live tweet the first two episodes. So I'll put it out on my gram.

I'm a little behind on my posting, but I'm going to put it out there, spread the word. It's cool. You're busy. You show up. You guys show up. Come and holler at me. Why not? We pull up.

Mara, thank you very much. You have a great weekend. You too. Thank you, guys. Really appreciate you. Thank you. You stay well. Stay healthy.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. All right, so I was telling y'all about this Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion that's going to be happening on HBO Max. And it was 30 years since the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air debuted. Is that crazy? 30 years? That's a long time. All right, so something that we

did not think we would see anytime soon is the original Aunt Viv and Will Smith. So they posted a picture together. Janet Hubert is her name in real life. And that's their first time sitting down on camera together in 27 years. Okay. I'm here for that. I might have to

get HBO Max. I don't think I have HBO Max. I need to get it because the Bone Docs is on HBO Max as well. I need to get that. But I would watch that special. Yes, I cannot wait. But you know, Janet Huber wrote about her relationship with Will Smith and how things just went left in her book. Perfection is not a sitcom mom.

She also says that she was demonized after her departure. She played Aunt Viv in the first three seasons and she left in 1993. Is it colorism to say the dark-skinned Aunt Viv? Because that's what people say. Um, I mean she is darker than the other one. So I guess

that's, you know, maybe you could say the original Aunt Viv. The original Aunt Viv. There you go. The original Aunt Viv. I like that. I like that better. And since we're talking about colorism, let's talk about Tyrese. All right, Tyrese is on Uncensored on TV One. That's going to air on Sunday. I know y'all will be watching. Are you guys on it?

No. Mm-mm. All right, well, he talked about his own experiences with colorism. Listen to this. I had never felt a piece of handsome. I have never heard compliments throughout my childhood. I caught every joke in the dark skin community ever. I was black, burnt, tarp. I was blurble, black and purple. I just never felt attractive ever. Well, I think

you should call Envy more. You know, Envy will absolutely tell him how handsome he is. Envy loves dark chocolate. And furthermore, what if you put that out there and people just shrug because they don't really find you handsome? You ever thought about that? You can't force folks to call you handsome. Sometimes you just got to accept the fact that you're black and ugly as ever. Yeah, but you know, sometimes you got to tell people things to boost their confidence. Like, you know,

if Tyrese called me and I know he was hurt and he was down, yeah, I would say, bro, you're handsome. Just like you. I say it to you all the time because I know you don't feel that way and I know it hurts your feelings so much. So, I'd be like, yo, Charlamagne, you're handsome, bro. I don't, I don't, I don't, I do feel handsome. I feel amazingly fine. Okay? Sorry. Alright.

First of all, I'm too fast, too fine. That would be the name of my movie. Too fast. Anyway, I sympathize with him for that, though, guys, because growing up, it has to be hurtful to be hearing people say those things about you, and that's how people end up having issues with the color of their skin when you're young and you get teased about it.

For real. I mean, it's not what he's fishing for compliments a little bit. No, no. issues with the color of their skin when you're young and you get teased about it for real i mean it's not like he's fishing for compliments a little bit no no i'm if that's his experience i'm not going to tell somebody that's not what their experience is but tyrese is a handsome man so so why we don't feel sorry for all the slander tyrese catching out because tyrese get way more slander in his adult life i'm sure well i feel bad for him as a kid as an adult you know he doesn't get slandered for his looks he don't get slandered for his looks he gets than his adult life, I'm sure. Well, I feel bad for him as a kid. As an adult, you know. He doesn't get slandered for his looks, though. He don't get slandered for his looks. He gets slandered for his looks.

Yeah, it's not because of his looks. He don't get slandered because of his looks. As an adult. Oh, are you crazy? Pull up that meme when he's crying, saying, what more do you want from me? Yeah, but that's because he's what he's being. That's not about his looks.

That's not about his looks. And I will say, Tyrese handles it very well. He does. Right now. It could be more than one dog skin, brother, bald head, bro. I'm just telling you that. You ain't got to be the only one. Remember when he wore those boots?

Those boots? The way he did the interview with Big Boy, right? Them boots look crazy. No, those weren't boots. Those were hard bottom shoes with the Adidas tracksuit. Oh, whatever they were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said, I felt sorry for him when he was a kid, but as an adult, he deserves it.

Shout out to Tyrese. Shout out to Tyrese. I like the fact that he has a good sense of humor still through it all. So I can appreciate that. Until you tease him too much. Until you tease him too much. He didn't call me in Solomon a couple times. And we didn't post that song with CeeLo.

Oh, man. We might get a text today. We got a problem? That's y'all group text. All right, now let's talk about a new show that's coming. Now, you guys know I like the Real Housewives. I love the Real Housewives of Potomac. I don't know if y'all have been watching this season,

but it is a pretty damn good season. And shout out to my girl, Leah. She's on the Real Housewives of New York. Well, there's a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that is premiering on Bravo November 11th. And let me just play you on this trailer and then I'm gonna break something down for you. I am a purebred pioneer Mormon.

Oh, here it goes. I'm Jewish and from Chicago. I'm actually Pentecostal. We are Jewish by heritage. Mormon by choice. Oh, Lord have mercy. It is a very big deal that I'm no longer Mormoncostal. We are Jewish by heritage, Mormon by choice. Oh, Lord have mercy. Woo! It is a very big deal that I'm no longer Mormon.

I was raised Mormon. But I'm converting to Islam. As-salamu alaykum, bitches! There's a lot of misrepresentations of who's friends with who in this circle. Don't wave your finger! She hates my guts. Do you think you're a homewrecker?

Lisa accused me of being a swinger. I don't judge you. I don't care enough to judge you. All right. Everybody is interested in one character, and that is Mary Crosby. The problem is this, okay? She allegedly married her late grandmother's husband, Robert C. Cosby. She married her late grandmother's husband.

So he must have been filthy rich. Yes, and that's how she inherited multiple successful family businesses. So according to reports, her grandmother was married. She took grandma's husband? Yes, that was her grandmother's second husband. She white or black?

How old was she? I'm assuming a lot older, but let's see. Her grandmother passed away at the age of 65 in 1997. And at the time of her death, her estate included a restaurant, a daycare, a radio station, and other businesses. And so Mary Cosby then married her late grandmother's husband, Robert, in 1998, right after her grandmother died.

They've been married for 20 years. They have a teenage son together. But there's also some family issues because there's allegations that Robert Cosby had something to do with the death of his ex-wife. So she married her grandmother's husband? How many years are they apart? This is crazy. And they've been married for 20 years. So how old is she now?

She got to be 40. He got to be 80 or something like that. Right. So anyway, that premieres on Bravo November 11th. I'm watching. And if you listen to that trailer, it already sounds interesting. I think we might be looking at this the wrong way. How do you know she didn't leave that husband for her granddaughter in her will? How do we know?

I don't know about that. But it's crazy because they got married a year after her grandmother died. He might have been in the will. And then people are accusing him, so we shall see. All right, well, I'm Angela Lee, and that is... No, I'm saying Annie's probably filthy rich, so they're just keeping the money in the family. No, but you don't marry your grand—that's like your grandfather, bro. That is your grandfather.

It depends what his bank account looks like, how much money he got ye. You are a bird! I just told you all the businesses that he actually— Yeah, I mean, a restaurant, a daycare, a radio station, other businesses as well. So, he got it. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss E. Charlemagne, who you giving that donkey to?

I need Skip Bayless to come to the front of the congregation. I'd like to have a word with him, please. Okay. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. The Travis Scott meal just dropped at McDonald's, featuring the juicy quarter pounder burger with lettuce, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and bacon. All with medium fries and a drink for just six bucks. Don't forget the barbecue sauce. Price and participations may vary.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey, keyhole, Donkey of the day I'm a democrat so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed place donkey of the day now I've been called a lot in my 23 years but donkey of the day is a new one

donkey of the day for Friday September 11th goes to the infamous Skip Bayless you remember Skip Bayless who used to be on First Take. Now he's on Fox Sports with Shannon Sharp. Now, Skip Bayless is a sports critic, not a sports analyst, not a sports pundit. He's a sports critic. He may say otherwise, but all I do is hear him critique other players.

Not a lot of analyst talk at all, just a lot of critique, which is fine. I love a great critic. Some would say I'm one myself, but like most critics, eventually they say something that pisses people off. It's a thin line between critiquing and being offensive, and Skip Bayless is a habitual

line sapper, okay? He goes over that line quite often, and he overstepped the line yesterday when he had an opinion about Dallas Cowboy quarterback Dak Prescott discussing his struggles with depression and anxiety. Let's hear what the good brother Dak Prescott had to say. All throughout this quarantine and this offseason, I started experiencing emotions I've never felt before. Anxiety for the main one.

And then, honestly, a couple of days before my brother passed, I would say I started experiencing depression. Didn't know necessarily what I was going through, to say the least. And hadn't been sleeping at all. But for one reason, one night, I slept the best I've slept, missing probably 10-plus calls from Tad, and giving my dad enough time to come in my bedroom

and tell me what had happened. And so I woke up, probably the best night of sleep I've ever had in 2020 from the worst news. As much as you want to ask why, as much as this, I mean, I know my brother. And as we said, he had a lot of burdens on him. He had a lot of tough things. And my sense of saying that is it showed me of how vulnerable we have to be as humans, how open we have to be, because our adversity, our struggles,

what we go through is always going to be too much for ourselves and maybe too much for even one or two people, but never, never too much for a community or never too much for the people in the family that you love. Now, anybody who listens to The Breakfast Club for years knows I am a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan. I can't wait to watch us play the Rams this Sunday night. But if you listen to the breakfast club, all my brilliant idiots podcast, and you also know I've talked about my struggles with anxiety and depression.

In fact, I wrote a whole book about it called shook one anxiety playing tricks on me. That book is actually more of a journal that I was keeping while going to therapy. And I share a lot of my lifelong struggles. That's not a book plug, by the way, it's just letting you know that I've dealt with anxiety and depression so long and I had to document it. Okay. I go to therapy once a week, usually Thursday or Fridays

at three. I have a sacred purpose coach, Salute to Yachty out there. I walk around my yard barefoot. I hug trees. I do breathing exercises. I got the Calm app. I got CBD. OK, I got I got gyms, the stones. I charge my crystals by the full moon. All right. Salute to my sister, Debbie Brown and Karma Bliss. The moral of the story is I do whatever I got to do to stay mentally healthy out here. Period. OK, I totally understand how Dak feels. I had two friends commit suicide in June, weeks apart. Rest in peace to Jasmine Waters. Rest in peace, my man Shaquille Carty from Anguilla. And it didn't hit me until August.

Okay? And when I said I had two dark-ass weeks in August, Lord have mercy. If I hadn't been doing the work on myself all these years to know what that was and why it was and more importantly how to deal with it no telling how that would have turned out so when i say i overstand what dak prescott

says he's he was going through i totally overstand what that brother was going through okay but one person who didn't have any sympathy for what dak was going through and didn't overstand i seem to understand what dak was going through was fox sports' Skip Bayless, okay? He had this to say in regard to Dak Prescott revealing his struggles with his mental health. Let's listen. I'm going to ask our audience to feel free to go ahead and condemn me if you choose as cold-blooded and insensitive on this issue. I have deep compassion for clinical depression, but when it comes to the quarterback of an NFL team, it's the ultimate leadership position in sports. Am I right about that? You are commanding an entire franchise. What's the roster now? Is it 53 still? 53, but I think they got like 15 practice squad guys.

But you're commanding a lot of young men and some older men, and they're all looking to you to be their CEO, to be in charge of the football team. Because of all that, I don't have sympathy for him going public with, I got depressed. I suffered depression early in COVID to the point that I couldn't even go work out. Skip Bayless, let me be the first to tell you, shut the F up forever. Do you know that yesterday was National Suicide Prevention Day? Literally yesterday, okay?

I saw Shanti Daz post that, you know, but it was. It literally was yesterday, National Suicide Prevention Day. When you made those comments, it was on National Suicide Prevention Day. You see how the universe works? The universe wants us to have this discussion, okay? People like you, Skip, you cause folks who may be dealing with depression and anxiety to kill themselves. Seriously, rhetoric like that causes people to kill themselves. See, the reason I talk about my mental health struggles the way I do is because, one, speaking about it is a form of therapy for me and it helps me feel better about myself and two I want other people especially black people like me to know that they are not alone so when someone like Dak Prescott who

millions of kids look up to because he's the black starting quarterback for the greatest football franchise of all time the Dallas Cowboys nobody can dispute that during a topic like this when that brother decides to be vulnerable and let everyone know what he's going through, that gives the rest of the village strength. It might make someone on the ledge say, oh, Dak deals with anxiety. Oh, Dak deals with depression.

Oh, Annie went to go get treatment for it. Oh, he went to a therapist. Maybe I should do that too. But then here comes folks like Skip Bayless with the lame-ass, age-old take that having mental health issues is a sign of weakness. By the way, that's one of those old patriarchal ways of thinking that has to be deconstructed. Like men are taught to apologize for their weakness, and women are taught to apologize for their scrimp, okay?

F all that. All right. When I feel like crying, I'm going to cry and tears are not signs of weakness. Tears are signs that you've been strong too long. And maybe it's time to talk to somebody when Dak Prescott says, cause he put out a statement on the Dallas Cowboys website. He responded to what Skip said. And he said, being a leader, this is Dak Prescott. I love these words. He said, being a leader is about being genuine and being real. If I wouldn't have talked about those things to the people I did, I wouldn't have realized my friends and a lot more people go through them. He also says, I don't care how big a person you are. If you are not mentally healthy and you are not thinking the right way, then you are not going to be able to

lead people the right way. Drop on the clues bombs for Dak Prescott. Every single word he uttered was true. Okay, Dak, my brother, no true words have ever been spoken. You are a true leader. You know why you're a true leader? Because great leaders don't tell you what to do. They show you how it's done. And that's what you are doing right now by sharing your anxiety and depression with the world. Two things I want you to take from this donkey of the day. Okay. Number one, this is a prime example of why you have to be careful who you share your weaknesses with because some people can't wait for the opportunity to use them against you. Okay. And number two, the only way we will eradicate

the stigma around mental health in the Black community is to share our stories. We have to share our weaknesses and our difficulties because that can be more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes. Please let Remy Ma give Skip Bayless the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb. All right. Don't disrespect my quarterback, okay? Salute to Karen Stivel.

Karen Stivel actually got me a football autograph by Dag Prescott. Not just Dag Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and a bunch of the other Dallas Cowboys. She got me that a couple years ago. Oh, God. But this isn't about the Cowboys. She got me that a couple years ago. Oh, God. But this isn't about the Cowboys. This is about team mental health right now. I thought it was.

I mean, no, it's about team mental health. It is always about the Cowboys, but it's about team mental health as well. And I just encourage everybody to do what you have to do to stay mentally healthy. And don't let anybody tell you that you're weak because you are sharing your difficulties and your struggles. Yes, I deal with anxiety. Yes, I deal with anxiety. Yes, I deal with depression. Yes, I go to therapy. Yes, I have a sacred purpose coach. I do whatever the hell I have to do

to keep it together. And I am proud of myself for such. Alright. Well, thank you for that. I think I met Jack Prescott. Did I? You did. You was on vacation. I think you was in Hawaii. No, I was in the Bahamas. You were. Yes, you did. I was in the Bahamas. I? You did. You was on vacation. I think you was in Hawaii. No, I was in the Bahamas. Yes, you did. I was in the Bahamas.

I sent a picture. I sent a picture. Somebody was like, there's Dak Prescott. I was like, oh, he plays for the Cowboys. I took a picture. I never forget that picture because he was shirtless. Shirtless? Look at you. He was shirtless. That's all you remember.

That's why you'll never forget it. Envy replied, nice. I remember that. He said, I always remember that picture because he was shirtless. You were kinky. So where do you want to go? Where do you want to go? What's the topic today?

I think back to bed. Where do y'all want to go next? So I was asking y'all this behind the scenes. We were talking about Katie Holmes. She has a new boyfriend. He's a chef, Emilio Vitolo Jr. And so there's been pictures of them all over the internet. But who knew that he already had a fiance who he was living with?

And they have a dog together and everything. And she apparently found out, allegedly, that he was dating Katie Holmes the same way we found out by seeing the pictures posted. And so now the story is that his fiance had no idea he was dating Katie Holmes and he broke up with her via text message. Is that rude? Do you think that you have to break up in person? Hell yeah, that's rude. You can't break up with somebody through text.

They were living together and that's his fiance. I don't know how cuffed his fiance is. Okay, she might be a whole gangsta. But part of me feels like this, right? I feel like if you're about to get fired from your job, do you want to have to actually go into work and get fired in person? Wouldn't you rather they let you know while you're at home? Don't bother coming in.

This isn't working out. Some jobs you have to come in though, because the HR has to walk you out with that little box. I'm serious. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Is it rude to break up with somebody through text?

I think it's foul. Has that ever happened to you? Yeah. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now.

Yeah, I talk about it in my first book, Pillow to Post.

My ex, she was real violent. Beautiful girl. Green eyes. Gorgeous. And I had to break up with her my ex, she was real violent, beautiful girl, green eyes, gorgeous. And I had to break up with her through the text. She went to work. I stayed home, pretended I was sick, packed up all my clothes and cleared it. When she came home. It sounded like an abusive relationship.

Yeah, she was. She was very violent. I love her to death, but she used to like to fight. And I knew she would have bleached my clothes She did it before So I knew it would've happened again So I waited till she went to work Yeah See that's what I said

If it's somebody violent Then I get it Then yeah you gotta do what you gotta do But if it's a relationship And you just over And you just tired You gotta show them some respect But if they violent

And you know they gonna Throw some hot grits on you Or bleach your clothes Or try to run you over That's what I just tried to tell y'all. You don't know, man. You got to know what type of person you're dealing with, what type of weapons they got in the crib.

Don't go to the house when they boiling something. Okay, that boy that boiled something might end up on you. All right, well. Hello, who's this? This is Dave. Dave, what's up, man? Your phone sound a little crazy, brother. Man, this is T-Taz Mitchell, man. Your phone sounds a little crazy, brother.

So he got a breakup on text. Yeah, you definitely got a breakup on text. Wait, what happened? I can't hear you. Actually, I broke up through an edible arrangement. What? You broke up through an edible arrangement? Come on, man. What'd the card say?

What'd the card say? I'm done with your ass. Have these pineapples and stick them somewhere where you can't find the milk. Why did you do that? What happened? What happened? She was out here sticking around with these people. That's why she left in and left out.

She should have replied back to you. I'm going to feed these pineapples to the next man so his tastes better than yours. That's what Charlamagne would have wrote. I had to get rid of that. She was just too much. You miss her? No, not at all. You miss her right now. Don't lie to me. He says that's how he do.

Sometimes I think about it from time to time. And I think about where them damn pineapples went. I can tell you where the pineapples went. You know where they went. Nice pineapples. In her next man's stomach. It probably did, but...

You never know what's y'all going to make. That's a good idea. I'm going to find out what happened to them pineapples. You better not. Oh, don't do it.

Don't do it. I ain't going to lie. If I was here, I would have sent the message like, hey, we said thanks for the edible arrangement. We enjoy the fruit.

You know, this is horrible. I didn't think of that. I just said it. We enjoy the fruit. You know, this is horrible. I didn't think of that. I just said it's eating me. Bro, leave it alone. Don't you go back over there. You gave her new man some energy. You know,

the fruit's giving him energy. And I forgot about them pineapples. They said they make the poom poom smell better. Yep. You did a good deed, man. I would have posted it on Instagram,

like me and my new boo eating pineapples from my ex-boo. You like Dr. Dre giving his ex-wife charity money. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? This is Nassily. Good morning. Good morning. Now, we're talking about breaking up over text.

What are your opinions? What are your thoughts? My thoughts that it's okay. Right now, it's the times of coronavirus. Quite frankly, if we have something to talk about, we need to go ahead and just get that now. You could FaceTime though still with coronavirus. I mean, we could set up a FaceTime date and we could talk about it after the fact. But like, let's not let this thing linger.

You know, like just speak your truth. Just let it out. I'm with you. By the way, you just gave everybody a great idea because if you don't have the heart to break up in person, you can just break up over text or voice message and blame it on coronavirus, social distancing. I mean, like, I don't want to spread any extra germs.

I care so much about you. I just need to let you know what I felt. That is so foul. Thank you. I just need to let you know what I felt. That is so foul. Thank you. I love it. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is just make sure your girl can't fight. That's the moral of the story.

That's the real biggest varying factor in whether or not you want to break up in person. Is it going to end with you getting busted upside your head with something? If so, you might need to do it over text or voice message. I think voice message. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, Cardi B got somebody arrested, and I say for good reason. All right.

We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. The Breakfast Club.

If it's somebody violent, then I violent then I get it then yeah you got to do what you got to do but if it's a if it's a relationship and you're just over and you're just tired you got to show them some respect but if they violent and you know they're gonna throw some hot grits on you or bleach your clothes or try to run you over that's what I don't just try to tell y'all you don't know man you got to know what type of person you dealing with, what type of weapons they got in the crib.

She was just too much you miss her no not at all but sometimes you miss her right now don't lie to me sometimes sometimes i think about it from time to time i can tell you you know where they went nice pineapples man's stomach it probably did but you never know what's y'all are making That's a good idea I'm going to find out

What happened to them pineapples You better not Oh don't do it Don't do it I ain't gonna lie If I was here I would have sent the message like Hey we said thanks

For the edible arrangement We enjoy the fruit You know This is horrible I didn't think of that I just said it They're eating me Bro leave it alone.

Don't you go back over there. You gave her new man some energy. You know, the fruits give you energy. And I forgot about them pineapples. They said they make the poom poom smell better. Yep. I would have posted it on Instagram, like me and my new boo eating pineapples from my ex-boo. You like Dr. Dre giving his ex-wife charity money.

Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? This is Nathalie. Good morning. Good morning. Now, we're talking about breaking up over text. What are your opinions? What are your thoughts?

I thought that it's okay. Right now, it's the times of coronavirus. Quite frankly, we have something to talk about. We need to go ahead and just get that now. You could FaceTime though still with coronavirus. I mean, we could set up a FaceTime date and we could talk about it after the fact, but like, let's not let this thing linger, you know, like just speak your truth. Just let it out.

I mean, by the way, you just gave, you just gave everybody a great idea because if you do if you don't have the heart to break up in person you can just break up over text or voice message and blame it on coronavirus social distancing i mean like we i don't want to spread any extra germs i care so much about you i just need to let you know what i felt that is so foul thank you i love it what's the moral of the story's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is just make sure your girl can't fight. That's the moral of the story. That's the real biggest varying factor in whether or not you want to break up in person. Is it going to end with you getting busted upside your head with something? If so, you might need to do it over text or voice message. I think voice message. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes. Cardi B got somebody arrested and I

say for good reason. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Well, people were very critical of Kirla Mike for a meeting with the This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, people were very critical of Killer Mike for a meeting with the Georgia governor, Brian Kemp. Governor Kemp tweeted out today, Marty and I had a great meeting with Killer Mike. We discussed how small businesses and the music industry are weathering the pandemic, the value of our skilled trade workers and our fight to end human trafficking in Georgia. We look forward to seeing him again soon. But he got a lot of criticism because of the optics.

And Killer Mike responded to all that criticism. You know, people have a lot of issues with Kemp for stealing the election and for voter suppression and all of that. What were you going to say, Charlemagne? I was going to say, F all those fools coming for Michael Rinder. You know what I'm saying? If black people don't know who out here frontlining for us by now, then God bless them.

God bless them. Okay? Everybody more worried about their perception than actual progress. Like, come on. Y'all know who Killer Mike is. Who blacker than Killer Mike? Killer Mike, one of the most blackest black men I know. He banks black.

He buys black. He has several black businesses. He employs black people. Hell, yesterday while they was on Twitter tripping, he was feeding 300 black people, I believe, with the Bankhead seafood truck. So man, please. All right. So somebody had asked Kerla Mike on Twitter. So you are talking to Kemp on the behalf of your community. And he responded after I saw counsel from community activists that I know and have worked with over 20 years, black judges and lawyers, black business leaders and my neighbors. I absolutely did. I pay taxes

in Georgia and own business there. I'm checking up on my dollars at work. I also meet with my city council member, state rep and mayor. I suggest all Georgians do the same. He said only time will tell as far as if he's going to fix any of the things that he discussed. He said, I plan to keep doing what was on the t-shirt I wore. We all must. Some of my issues, blacks in Georgia having more than 2% of state contracts while making up 35% of the state. Black men and boys getting free trade school versus building more jails. A justice system that deals with children's trauma versus jailing them. You need better issues.

Yeah, and they don't even know what Mike and Brian Kemp talked about fully, but they have an opinion. And people keep saying, oh, well, Brian Kemp suppressed the vote against Stacey Abrams. Well, he's still the governor of Georgia, so you're not supposed to engage with him? That makes no sense to me. And by the way, if you're worried about Brian Kemp suppressing the vote, why are you not worried about Joe Biden

who wrote the 86 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing or the 88 Crack Laws or the 94 Crime Bill? Y'all ain't got no problem running to speak to him or voting for him in November, so don't tell me about who Michael is meeting with. If there's anybody i trust in a room full of vultures it's michael randy that man is a true leader all right and listen if you're talking about ending human trafficking and you're going to sit down and have a meeting i would meet with anybody if that's going to help yes all right now cardi b since we're talking about politics she actually

says on her live that she hired a private investigator to arrest a teenage Trump supporter who actually put her address out there. Listen to what she said. Let me tell you something. It gets so intense that a Trump supporter posted my address and encouraged people to dox my home, to put my house on fire. I literally hired a private investigator and served them with a roar And arrest this boy Mind you this boy was a f***ing teenager His parents were f***ing shook I am not mad at that at all

I love it You wanna put my address out I got some money to hire a private investigator Cause you know the police ain't gonna really do nothing about that So you gotta hire somebody And she got that kid arrested I want all social media agitators to get arrested and sued. I am sick of these people being able to say anything they want to you online,

get their ass locked up, sue them. And them private investigators are good. They'll find out the address of the people. They'll find out how much money in their bank account to see if it's worth suing, all kind of stuff. Yeah, I just had to hire one. I just had to hire one the other day that got me all the information I needed. Yesterday got it in like 10 hours.

I got a lot of intel on all my enemies. Trust me. Trust me. You know, I had a bad issue with a stalker and this person was sending all kinds of food deliveries and stalking everywhere that I went and, you know, doing all, and putting my address, my parents' address online.

Get his ass. So it took a while, but they found the person and, you know, found her mom too. It was like, and she kept on posting pictures under a fake page on Instagram and changing it. But she had herself as a white man, like with a gun. But the detective actually told me it's probably a black woman who's doing that because they say it's usually the opposite that they post as like their profile picture. And it was, it was a young black girl who was in college,

but she did have some mental issues. But this was something that went on for quite some time. And it was, you know, she was threatening my friends online. She was posting all kinds of stuff, calling people, getting people's numbers.

I caught one like that too. She was a black woman. She had mental problems, mental issues. And we found out who she was. She used to come to the post office near my house and send packages to my house from the post office, basically telling me, you know, send it to the station, but basically telling me, I know where you live. And we caught her and we spoke to her mom and she just had mental problems. We didn't arrest her or anything like that. I wonder if it's the same person. All right. Now, Alicia Keys has started a fund to support small businesses owned by African Americans. She wants to raise $1 billion. So she did announce the details of that initiative in

an open letter to Billboard. And she also agreed to perform at the NFL League's kickoff event for the 2020 season. The reason that she did that though is because they are contributing to her new endowment fund. So that's why she did it. I respect it. Drop on the clues bomb for Alicia Keys. I love it. Alright and we got a shout out to Mulatto. So you know she's

a freshman, a double XL freshman and they've been releasing the freestyles and her freestyle she actually flirted a little bit with Fabio Foran listen to this I don't gotta rap about sex but it was way too good not to brag on I ain't even high school rapping yet but if Fabio want to then I ain't gonna pass on yeah bitch I get my mac on he tricking I skip him like bad songs I just tried to hunt it on jury during the pandemic yeah my money that long and the whole time he was smiling, he was hype.

It was cute. That's dope. She popping out, too. Her records are really doing well. Man, I was in Atlanta, and her records ring in the club. Yeah. I want to drop one of Clues Bond's for my little niece, LaPortia. She hit me yesterday and said, I can't trust that your other nieces are keeping you informed

on the girls to watch out for. So I'm going to do that. Mulatto, a.k.a. Big Lotto. Yeah, shout out to Big Lotto. So I'm going to do that. Milato, a.k.a. Big Lotto. Yeah, shout out to Big Lotto. And she said Lotto is actively fighting to combat colorism in her music video. She writes all her own raps and won and turned down the deal she had on the rap game. So thank you to LaPosha for keeping your old ass uncle in the loop.

All right. And Netflix viewers are calling for a boycott. And that is because of that movie Cuties. Now, remember we talked about this. It's a French film. And there's 11-year-old dancers twerking, dancing seductively. At first, it was an issue with the artwork that they used for the movie because it's very suggestive.

And as we're fighting trafficking of young girls and girls going missing, putting something out like that is, it's disgusting no matter what, because there's some disgusting people in this world. Well, now that movie has been released and people are very upset. There's a warning for sex and nudity and a trigger warning for the content on Netflix.

You got to do all that. Maybe it's not a good idea to release it. Yeah, I haven't seen it, but what about them shows? Like, it's some show my daughter watches all the time. It's about cheerleaders or gymnasts or dancers. I can't remember what it's called. My daughter watches it, too. Something, something, something mom or cheerleading mom. Dance mom.

Dance mom. There you go. I mean, I don't know what Cuties is about, but it seems like it's in the vein of dance moms. I don't know. I don't know, but they, you know, they already apologized just for the inappropriate artwork. They said it was not okay and, you know, updated things. So if they have a problem with the artwork from the movie,

then they'll probably have a problem with the movie. Right. Speaking of which, I'm going to hug my kids real quick before they leave for school. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. Yeah, I got my kids up out of here. All right, shout out to Revolt.

And I also just want to shout out to, I have a new coffee company that just launched, and the first thing that we're doing is a whole voter registration, voter awareness campaign. So up until the election, all of our tins are going to be about that. It's called Coffee Uplifts People Cup. And you can get it at brooklynroasting.com.

I'm going to reach out to you HBCUs because you HBCUs, you know, we support and we got to support each other. We always talk about black owned and black owned businesses. Like Angela said, I mean, we have a water company. You know, we should be taking some of our water companies to support now. And I want to see Positivity Water and some of you HBCUs.

My positive note, man, going into the weekend comes from Don Miguel Ruiz. You know I love Don Miguel Ruiz. He's one of my favorite authors off of the Four Agreement, the Fifth Agreement.

But Don Miguel Ruiz says, We are not good enough for ourselves because we don't fit our image of perfection. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being what we wish to be or rather what we believe we should be. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being perfect, but we should. Breakfast club, bitches!
