And I also want to ask, you guys talk about Nicki Minaj a lot in your rumor report, but you guys don't play her music. Why don't you play her music? Well, I have control over what I talk about in the rumor report,

but we don't program the music on the station. What song should we be playing? Well, I don't play music neither. I'm just asking, what song should Radio be playing? I mean, she has a lot of new songs I would chance to rap her. She remixed the Baby song. That's hard. I just love to hear her song in the mixes or anything.

I would just love to hear her more. All right. Hello, who's this? A.B. Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hello, good morning, DJ A.B. Angelique.

Good morning. Good morning. All right. So, a couple years ago, I was living with my ex-boyfriend, and he had a light bulb in my name. Uh-oh. So, yeah. I happened to move out, but I kept it in just light door in my name. Uh-oh. Yeah. I don't have to move out,

but I kept it in just for the time of my life. I kept it in my name. Of course, he didn't pay the bills. So now I can't get the lights in my name. So now here, two years

later, I ran down to him and me and his girlfriend had got into an argument over the situation. Reminds you, I was arguing with him but she wanted to jump in. First of all, the reason why he owned me is not because I wouldn't have sex with

him while he was with her. So for her to come at me, I'm like, my girl, you better thank me because if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have you with him right now. And you wouldn't have had no lights. Exactly. Thank you.

So who paying the light bill now? I don't have magically have lights. I don't know how. I can't get it in my name. And it's crazy. They're like, how are you going to do this to me? I just got a child. I was going to say

nice to you because I want to have a sister because you had a girlfriend. Can I give you some advice? You going to pay for a light bill? No, I'm going to give you some advice. Oh. Okay. He's never going to give you that money back.

Nope. So no matter how much you try to harass him about it, all it's going to do is be stressful for you. So you just have to chalk that up as a loss and figure out how we're going to move on and move forward past this because all you're doing is putting some more stress and burden on yourself. You have to chalk it up and chalk him up as a loss and he out how we're going to move on and move forward past this because all you're doing is putting some more stress and burden on yourself. You have to chalk it up and chalk him

up as a loss and he's a loser. Have a good one, mama. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Damn, damn, damn.

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Drew. Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Man, I'm just happy to be out this morning, man. You and me both, brother. Yeah, man, you know, just thanking the Lord and shouting out my family, my wife and my kids. As long as we keep going on my way to work this one.

Y'all have a blessing. You too, my brother. Hello, who's this? This is Jules Jim's 100. Hello. Jules Jim's 100. Get it off your chest. You sound like a cigarette. It's early. It's early. I didn't have tea yet. Well, what's up, mama? Get it

off your chest. You having a great day so far? So far, it's a great day. So many blessings. I do have a jewelry business. It's called Jules Jim's 100. So many blessings. I do have a jury business. It's called D&J 400. But every single day, I think about my brother that is in jail because of police brutality over for 10 years. Every single morning.

He's in jail because of police brutality? How'd that happen? He was about 15 years old, and he was jumped by police. They put him to jail. They had him sign papers, and he didn't even have. They took him to jail. They had him sign papers and he didn't even have his parents with him. Damn. Oh my God, I'm sorry.

So they basically forced him to confess to something that he didn't do. Correct. Gotcha. I'm sorry about that, Mama. And we can see how that can happen as if we've seen it happen many times. That's awful.

I even went to go visit him and the police wouldn't let us visit him. Is that illegal? He was just f***ing and he was over jail for 15 years. Man, well,

I'm so sorry, Mama. Well, I'm glad you heard my story and my brother's story so I'm very happy about that. Okay. Well, thank you

for calling to vent with us this morning. Thank you so much. Have a good day. You too. Hello, who's this? This is April. Hey, April's this? This is April. Hey, April, get it off your chest.

I want to spread some positivity this morning. I want to thank the Breakfast Club for getting me through my past three years. I work in Arkansas, Trump country. Not a lot of people look like me. So I just want to thank you guys for getting me through the past three years. So basically you're saying we're the only black people you get to hear from every day. Basically

that's the reason why I'm with y'all. Thank you. That black effect is real. So like I decided that I needed to make a move to get up out of there and I finally found a way out. It's a very toxic work environment.

So I'm still working on my business until I can afford to move on. Okay, mama. Well, keep working, all right? All right. So you guys can visit my Instagram at S-E-M-P-A-Q dot com. And to Lee, I would love to send you some samples. I created a feminine emergency kit for men, children, people.

What do you mean? Why you got to add something to it? Why I'm talking about Detroit? Yeah you mean? Why you got to add something to it?

If you need to hit us up right now, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. What up? One of the owners of Brooklyn Chop House.

Yes, indeed. Also a name that rings bells in the music industry. For a long time. A friend of all hours, Don Poo. What up? What up? What up? You were just mentioning to Cameron

shortly the other day. Cameron was saying thank you because you gave him some money when he needed it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So back in the days when Cameron was first coming out, I recognized that talent. And I was actually trying to sign him, but I So back in the days when Cam'ron was first coming out, I recognized that talent. And I was actually trying to sign him, but I was late to the game. He had already signed his deal.

So I said, you know what? I'm developing another artist. Can you help me do a few records in the studio? So he said, I bet. So him and Jim Jones came through, and they helped me develop this hot record. We did this record, Baby, Baby, Baby, and a couple other joints. And, you know, I recognized them first. So, you know, I was shocked when I

heard it. I was like, oh! That's nice. He shot the video. Who was the artist? Pretty Boy. It was actually Gav. Shout out to Gav. You turned Cam on to the franchising business too. I mean, he was inspired by a lot of stuff that I was doing.

So he was like, you know, let me try a couple and do a couple of things, too. So that was dope. I feel that because, first of all, let's be clear. Don Poole is from Brooklyn. Absolutely. And represents Brooklyn to the fullest and has a great musical background. Just in my veins. Finding Foxy Brown.

Absolutely. At an early age. Talk about Foxy because she was really young. I remember when she first came on the scene with LL Cool Brown. Absolutely. At an early age. Talk about Foxy because she was really young. I remember when she first came on the scene with LL Cool J. Absolutely. So shout out to Gab

and Anton. So I used to have this barbershop called Moods in Brooklyn and a lot of artists used to come through. You cut hair

or you just owned a barbershop? No, I just owned a barbershop. I had a few barbers. You had a lot of things going on. I had a few things. You know what they say about people that want

barbershops? Yes, you know what that is. Trying to hide some money. Jesus Christ. Y'all going to create the man like that? It's 30 years ago, man. It's 30 years ago. He's here now.

I'm here now. We had the barbershop and Biggie used to come through and Shine used to come through and then a lot of people from the neighborhood used to get their hair cut. So they recognized I had this affiliation with a lot of artists. And then I was on the road with Biggie, really, you know, cutting my teeth in the game, learning the management game. You know, supporting the management team by running with Big and then became a friend with him.

And then, you know, Ant and Gav was like, yo, why don't you check my sister out? So I, you know, listened to her and I said, yo, why don't you check my sister out? So I, you know, listened to her and I said, you know what, we're going to rock. So we, you know, did some demos and then next thing you know,

we got a break on LL's record, I Shot Ya. And then, you know, that blew up and then, you know, Bitten Wars began and then she ended up getting a deal. We did this record with Jay-Z,

Ain't No. We toured for like, we went on a weekend tour every weekend. It was Jay, me, her, our team, Irv Gotti, Damon Dash was just rocking. The record blew up, and then she put out an album, and the rest was history. What did it take to make a superstar back then compared to today's time? Well, it was a little different back then. We didn't have the social media.

So it was a lot of mixtapes. It was a lot of, you know, doing verses on other people's records. We did a couple of verses. We did this joint with Case, Touch Me Tease Me. We did a couple of records. And then those records turned into videos.

And then the next thing you know, you know, we were out there. And, you know, she could spit. She was different. She had that, you know, tone. And then, you know, next thing you know, we just blew up, put out the album, and went platinum. Whatever happened with Foxy, though? Like, because, you know, she had a great album.

Absolutely. And she had another album that came out, and then it just seemed like things just dwindled off. Yeah, she kind of, you know, she was doing her thing for a while. She did actually put out three albums. And then, you know, she's a mom now. Shout out to her and Baby C. And she just fell back a little bit. And she had an issue with her hearing.

So she just kind of fell back. But hopefully we're going to see or hear from her soon. Still keep in contact with her? Yeah, I speak to her from time to time. I see her brother still be at the restaurant too. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shout out to Gavin. Yeah, they always come through and support.

So they've been big supporters as well. That means a lot when you still have great relationships with people, I think, who you came up with in the game. Because we see people fall out all the time over things. But I see you all the time still rocking with the people that you've been with for decades. Yeah, I think it's just a testament to my relationship with different people in the game and people that are not in the game. So, you know, it's just good to have those relationships because you just never know

when it's going to parlay into something else. You know what I thought about just now, even when it comes to artists, I think the reason, like, a Foxy Brown can still be mentioned today and people will still recognize her is because of all that hand-to-hand y'all did back in the day, like actually going to meet

people and touch people. I don't think you can develop that connection with social media. Yeah, you're right. It was a little different back then because we actually had to go on the road and touch everyone versus you making a post and then everyone seeing it at the same time. You reach a lot of people faster, but you're right.

The connection and touching people and going to London and getting on London radio and doing all those things was, you know, it was a more personal connect when it came to, you know, artists and then, you know, individuals in the music business. Now, you've always had an entrepreneurship spirit. I want to know where that came from because, like you said, you had the barbershop. You also had the club in Brooklyn. Absolutely, Club Rain.

Club Rain, which was infamous. I remember going there, and I actually even DJed there when I used to halfway DJ. Absolutely. I remember you coming through there. But, you know, a lot of my inspiration came from my parents. You know, I watched them, even though they weren't entrepreneurs. But, you know, I watched how they worked, you know, saved up and did what they had to do for their family, for our family. And then at the same time, at the age of 12, I was packing bags in the supermarket.

So I always wanted to make a little extra change. And that's why I was making change technically back in the days. And then, you know, I watched Puff do his thing. I had a lot of inspirations and a lot of images of business owners and entrepreneurs earlier on and I said to myself, you know what, that's kind of what I want to do. Start my own business,

do my own thing. From what I grew up with, I didn't have a lot of them but I had a few. There was a few business owners I knew. There was the negative guys. There was the street guys that I kind of identified with earlier on but at the end of the day, it was the business people I knew. There was, you know, the negative guys. There was the street guys that I kind of identified with earlier on. But at the end of the day, you know, it was, you know, the business people I respected

and, you know, took that energy and, you know, always wanted to own my own business. So what came first, the music or the club? The music came first. So I had the barbershop first. Then I got into the music business after that. And then I ended up opening a club later on, like five years after that.

That's a tough business, by the way, the club. Oh, very tough. I was in and then out. But we had a good run for about a year. Shout out to my partner, Diamond. Rest in peace to him. That was my partner in the club. What year was this?

This was 2003 to 2007. And you could see anybody in there. Yeah, yeah. It was like a hot Brooklyn joint. Lil' Kim, Maino, Raekwon, just random on random nights. Absolutely. Everybody come through, show love. So it was a good little run.

And then after that, I started to get into more of the franchising business. All right, we got more with Don Poole. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Don Poole, owner of Brooklyn Chop House. What happened with the firm? Were you involved with, did you create the firm group? Was that your idea? It wasn't my idea, but I ended up being a part of it. So that was Nas, Foxy, AZ, Nature, they kind of, and Carmega. They kind of, you know, got together and formed it.

We just, you know, were the executives behind it. You know, Steve Stout, myself. I remember seeing your name on the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. got together and formed it. We're the executives behind it. Steve Stout, myself. I remember seeing your name on the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We helped put the whole thing together because every artist was signed to a different label. So it was a little difficult to kind of put the album together,

but it ended up being on Columbia and then we all executive produced it and put it together. And it came out under the tutelage of the great Dr. Dre. Was that difficult? It was definitely a process navigating through all the politics of all the labels because all those artists were hot,

so I think every label wanted to have that album on their label. But Nas was kind of like the leader of the group. So it ended up kind of going through. That had to screen your relationship with Hov at the time too, right? Because of Hov and Foxy's relationship? Because I always heard that Hov didn't necessarily agree with Foxy being a part of the firm. Yeah, because

at first they were talking about at one point Foxy, when she first came out she was really hot. So there was talks of a Bonnie and Clyde album, you know, it never really materialized. But then she also had a relationship with Nas, right, from, you know, earlier on. And they decided to do this. They talked about doing this album, but then it actually, you know, came to light. So, yeah, and then, you know, Nas and Jay didn't really see eye to eye. But, you know, it was, Foxy was kind of like that hot artist that, you know, both teams kind of, you know, wanted to, you know, work with.

And, you know, she did big records with both of them. Now, what about your relationship with Mary? You helped Mary with her? Yeah, yeah. I actually was executive at MCA and, you know, I formed a relationship with Mary through working with her on a couple of albums while I was there. And we became great friends. And even on the outside, after I left, still to this day, we, you know, we do deals together, work together. It was great working with her. Co-executive producer. she's the executive producer, by the way, great, great legend, legend. So it was just like a blessing to be able to work with her

and be able to have some success with her on that No More Drama album back in the days. It was, you know, took me to another level. You signed Shine too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened was Shine was coming out of a barbershop and he was like, yo, you Foxy manager? I'm like, yeah, who want to know?

I'm like, yo, I'm Sean. He was like, and I'm nice. So he pulled out the black notebook and starts just rhyming and spitting for two hours. So I'm like, oh, yeah, L, I need to sign you right away. You had nowhere to go, huh? Huh? You had nowhere to go that day, huh? No, no, no? I didn't move.

He had me stuck. Did you think he sounded like Biggie? Because I remember when he first came out, people used to be like, who is this? Absolutely. His tone was, you know, it was a little after Biggie had passed, so his tone was similar. His style's a little different, but that tone, he had that

deep tone, so I was like, bro, you're nice. So he was like, yo, what we doing? So I ended up signing him to my production company, and then I did a deal with Diddy with Bad Boy, and then the rest is history. You had no reservations being that he sounded like Big? And Big was your man?

I did at first, and everyone did at first, but his style, I just knew he wouldn't be like him, right? His whole style, his whole movement, his whole, you know, his swag was totally different than what Biggie was. And, you know, his subject matter still was, you

know, and I felt that Brooklyn connection, just like Big from Brooklyn. So his, you know, that Brooklyn connection, that whole thing, everything he was spitting was just, I just felt it. So I said, you know what? We're going to run with this. How do you avoid having to take a side

in certain situations, right? Because we talk about the Jay-Z versus Nas, and then it was Lil' Kim versus Foxy, but you could navigate between those crews of people. Did you ever feel pressured, like I have to? No, not really. I think there was a lot of that out there in the media,

but for me, a lot of these people are my friends and still my friends today. So, again, I don't know if it's my relationships with everyone because I was on a roll with Big before I had Foxy. So I had a relationship with Kim. And then Kim and Foxy were friends. So after

the hype and the media and, you know, who's better in a competition and everybody starts to pit people against each other, that's what happens with those relationships.

But, you know, the relationships behind the scenes, like I was never, you know, beefing with, you know, their side. They would never

beef with me. It was all about, for me, it's business. Right. Nothing personal. This is all business. How did you initially, for me, it's business. Right. Nothing personal. This is all business. How did you initially, like, get the finances to start all of this stuff? I mean, it was just me investing, working hard, and putting, you know, putting my money,

putting my money behind my name. You know, I bet on myself. You know? So, you know, the barbershop wasn't hard. You know, it was doing a barbershop. Then it was getting on the road. Then it was the music business. Then I did really well in the music business.

Then I transitioned that into franchising, then franchising into my own brand. So, you know. Yeah, let's talk about it. We didn't talk about the franchising. Yeah, so we want to really, so what I did was I got an opportunity after I had the club to do, to franchise Papa John's Pizza. So a friend of mine came to me and said, I have this opportunity.

And I partnered up with him with a 16-store deal in New York City. Dope. So we ended up opening eight. And then I got the opportunity from there to open up IHOPs in Brooklyn. And then we ended up opening those IHOPs. And today we have three IHOPs in Brooklyn. And then we end up opening those IHOPs. Today we have three IHOPs in Brooklyn. So I took the development deal for the whole territory

and then from there I had an opportunity to do check-ins. So I opened up a few of those. But I want to say that there's definitely a lack of participation from on the minority side in the franchise community as a whole whole so i'm getting

together with a you know a few wall street guys i met through brooklyn chop house down the financial district to kind of put a fund together to support and to um invest in entrepreneurs and you know minority-owned franchises for people to get into it because it's hard to navigate through. People don't have the information. It's the information. So people don't have the information, and I have the information, and people ask me all the time, how do I start a franchise? How do I get in? Because, you know, it's everything from site selection

to being approved financially to having experience already. So it's a catch-22 sometimes because a lot of franchisors want you to have the experience and the capital to do it. Correct. And the two usually don't mix. Sometimes you have people with capital with no experience.

And some people with experience that's been in the food business or food and beverage for a long time don't have the capital or can't get access to capital and finances. So we're trying to create something that puts all those things together for a long time and don't have the capital or can't get access to capital and finances. So we're trying to create something that puts all those things together and give them the information to connect the dots

to where to go from business services, accounting, to lawyer services, to negotiating leases, to finding locations, to dealing with franchisors, to dealing with the franchise, the actual franchise agreement, you know, to understand all of the parts and pieces that you need to navigate through

and to successfully start a franchise. Because it's there. It's just having, like you said, having the information and the knowledge. Doing it similar to, you know, what you've been doing, giving people the knowledge. Alright, we got more with don pool when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning 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 Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. What up, y'all? It's DJ MB, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Dom Poole, owner of Brooklyn Chop House. Charlamagne? How difficult is it to get in as a franchisee?

It's a process. So it's not a one, two, three, like you just sign up and you're in. It's a process. So you have to get approved. You know, you have to qualify. So those are some of the things that we want to kind of share,

get that information out and share that the opportunity is there, give you the information on how to do it. But it takes some time. You know, it could take six months to a year to get qualified. And then, you know, another, you have to build your restaurant. You have to find a restaurant. You have to negotiate a lease.

You have to build a restaurant. You got to open a restaurant. You have to staff the restaurant. You have to hire people. You know, it's just. That's the hardest part, like, because a lot of these restaurants, they don't cost a lot to open. Right.

It's just getting through all that paperwork. Right. Getting through the paperwork and then have access to financing, you know, because you know, that's the holdback a lot for, you know, a lot of entrepreneurs is finding the access

to capital as well. So, you know, I want to try to open up some doors. You know, anybody out there want to holler at me? At Don Poo Music. And I will say Don Poo Music? And I will say Don Poo is very accessible. When I decided I wanted to do the Juice Bar, the first thing I did was call Don Poo and be like, do you have some time to sit down with me?

I just wanted to talk to you about some things. And a lot of things I said I was going to do, I did end up doing. And one of the main things that Don Poo said was a lot of people will come to him and ask him for advice, but then they don't act on it. Absolutely. And that's been the biggest thing. And, you know, you reached out, you know, you were opening up the juice bar and you reached out like, hey, you know, what do you think? I'm like, oh man, your own, doing your own business in that location, in that area and

made total sense. So a lot of people, you know people don't follow through after they reach out, which is I can't I don't know why, but it takes that determination. It's hard to take that first step for a lot of people. It's hard to take that first step for a lot of people

because a lot of people are in that comfort zone. It takes I applaud all you guys for diversifying and all of the things that you guys are doing. And that's the key, being diversified. That's the biggest thing when I talk to most people when I do the seminars. The biggest thing is they're scared to take that first step. So if there's, let's say, a thousand people there or four thousand people there, you'll probably get five percent that actually will go towards and try.

The other just hold that information. And I'm hoping that one day they'll get it and be like, you know what, let me just try, because most people are just scared to take that first step. You know what the problem is, too? A lot of times when people are having these conversations with other people,

it's the finished product talking to somebody who hasn't even started the process. Correct. And so they're looking, I want that now. But it's a process to get to the right pool, to get the, even if you don't know what you're talking about, to get the envy. You know what I'm saying?

It's definitely a process, to get to the right pool, to get the, even though we don't know what you're talking about, to get the envy. You know what I'm saying? It's definitely a process, but I think if we give them an example for them to look at, you bring the new person that just did it, right? For them to look at, like, and have them give their testimony on what it took for them

to take that first step, then it feels like, oh, he's like, you oh, he's like me. He's not Envy. He's not too far gone. That's easy for him. He did it. I'm hearing, but he did it.

If you get testimonies from people that just signed up, that just did their first closing, did their first restaurant, did their first first one, then it becomes a lot more, you know, it connects. It connects a little better. So what's the better hustle, music or the food industry? Well, it gives me a chance to diversify

the food and beverage and the hospitality business, but you know, my heart is in music, so it could be, but music heart is in music. But music business, for me, has been a rollercoaster for many people. There's been a few people that's mastered

it. That's a few that's been able to just keep it there. But for me, I just wanted to diversify. And I think they're both, depending on the times, they're both good. And you got a book coming out called How I Hopped. Yeah, depending on, you know, the times. I think they're both good. And you got a book coming out called How I Hopped.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I hop, baby. Yeah, so a lot of the businesses that I've been in, so from hip hop, it's basically based on hip hop, I hop, and chop, which has hop in it. Revolency hop. So, yeah, so it's basically how I navigate my entrepreneurial journey through, you know, these different industries and how I've been able to navigate and really to inspire and to actually give information on starting your own business and taking that first step.

And, you know, going from, you know, navigating and diversifying your portfolio into having, you know, seven streams of income, which is what we all kind of shoot for. Well, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it so much. And just know Brooklyn Chophouse is open for lunch, too. So a lot of people are trying to figure out where do I go for lunch or where do I come if I'm coming to visit New York? Where's a good place to go hang out? You never know who you might see at Brooklyn Chophouse.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is on vacation, and I can't think of nobody that I wanted to talk to more this week than this man at his head right now. Tank his head, God damn it. I'm on this, man. I'm on this, man. I'm on this, man. We have some new album promotion.

I'm on this, mother. Because there is an album out, Ele this Cause there's an album out Elevation It's an album out Yes Elevation Oh That's what you was doing On lip service

Promoting I was trying to promote my album And his tour He's on tour with Fantasia And my tour The tour that I'm on with Fantasia It's her tour But I'm on tour with her

We're doing really well Robin Thicke The Bonfire It's going really well Well you're always on tour You have no shortage of money Well no I do dates But the tour is different really well. Robin Thicke, The Bonfire. It's going really well. Well, you're always on tour. You have no shortage of money. Well, no, I do dates,

but the tour is different. Got you, got you, got you. You know what I'm saying? Where we actually line it up, package it, promote it, just a different kind of thing. You're one of the few R&B artists who stay on the road.

Yeah. I mean, me and Genuine. Got you. Genuine is always on the road. I don't know how he does it. Well, forget all that. How many d*** do you have to sell? And that's the problem with this. I don't know. We got everything out the way. You promote it out on the road. I don't know how he does it. But forget all that. How many d*** do you have to suck? And that's the problem with this.

I don't know. We got everything out the way. You promoted the album, the show. Now, how many d*** do you have to suck to be gay, Chase? I don't know. First of all,

this is the problem. She did this. Okay, tell me. Break it down. I only saw the edited version. We were talking about lies. Right, L'Oreal said that she was with this guy

who was a liar. Right. And you said if you that she was with this guy who was a liar. Right. And you said if you tell two lies, then you're not a liar. Well, I was saying that he hasn't become a liar. He said he only lied twice

about those two things. I said, so I'm not sure if he's a liar yet. He just felt a need to lie about those two things. Was he lying about sucking?

No, and then Miss Angela says, well, what about if you suck a dick? I was like, well, how did we get here? No, and then Miss Angela says, well, what about if you suck a d***? I was like, well, how did we get here? Like, you could see my disposition.

I didn't like where this was going. So why didn't you stop it, Tank? I don't know. I just started talking. The thing about Tank is that Tank always

wanted to prove his point, right? I wanted to prove, I didn't want to back down. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So now I'm like, now I'm trapped

in between two d***, right? I don't know what the d*** is going on just right here in the hard place. And as Biggie said, you find yourself with two d***s and no chick, you'd be in some serious d***.

You in some serious d***? Yeah, so you was with three chicks, four chicks. So I don't know. Like, I'm not an expert on how many d***s to get there. So you was just talking. Well, also this too.

I also was speaking from what I feel is a behavior standpoint, right? Okay. If you participate in an act, that doesn't necessarily make you part of that thing. But if you do it twice. I don't know if that's what it takes. If you do an act twice. I don't know. You said it twice.

We were talking about it twice. He said if you're a construction worker and you do it two times. I did construction a couple times, but I'm not a construction worker. But you could be. But I'm not. I've never reverted back and said, I've never said construction worker and felt good to me. It should be on your resume. If you commit murder twice, you're a murderer.

If you do it once, you're a murderer. If you rob two banks, you're a bank robber. Well, but see, we're talking about something different because we were talking about, or I'm talking about the exploration process of trying to find yourself sexually. If you suck two b****es in your life as a man, you may not be gay, but at the least you're bisexual. At the least you were. Were gay? At one point. Because that's like saying if you...

If you don't continue that behavior. Right. At one point, you were that. So being gay is a habit. Being gay is... It's a choice. Well, not a choice, but it's a lifestyle. It's not always a choice, but it's a complete lifestyle. Got you. You don't get to dip in and dip out.

It's a real war going on in terms of how people are born and how people live. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? So you just don't get to dibble and dabble in either you are or you aren't. You can't snack on the d***. You have to have a steady diet. Now, what if you were, what if, say, you are gay, but then you engage in heterosexual activity?

But that happens, too. Right. So does that mean? Because I know a lot of gay men who kiss girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they don't consider themselves heterosexual. Like, no, I'm gay. Isn't that vital?

I don't know. So why did you start the conversation? She did. Why is she always talking about things we have no idea? I'm trying to defend my point. I am trying not to back down.

It's four women against one man. I don't want to lose. So for the record, I don't know how many s**ts it takes. You know what I learned? I don't know.

You got to stop defending liars. And that's what the whole moral of this story is. Stop defending liars. No, Angela. When we're talking about some different s**t, you got to stop bringing up s**ts. Oh, yeah, that is true.

But you only brought up one s**t. You came with two. Because the lie had to do with two. I was trying to win the lying argument. You stop this s**t. I got to help him out. I think that states should have a three suck law. So I think if you suck three d***s, just like you got the three strike law,

then you got to register as gay. Listen, I think, as I go back to, there's an exploration process. And this speaks to the double standard. Women are allowed to explore and play and do all of these things. And they don't get boxed into a thing. And I think for men, there's a scary thing as it pertains to being gay. You know what I'm saying?

That's the scariest thing for a man to feel like it's been put on him. I think it's a lot of nuance, though. I don't think that people are necessarily tripping off the fact of being gay. It's just the fact that your whole life you've been taught same-sex relationships mean that you're gay. So you

said somebody did it twice but said they're not gay. So that's really just defying everything people have learned through our lives. Like, what do you mean that's not gay? It does throw you off, right? But it still speaks to an act versus an existence. Got you, got you. You know what I'm saying? And maybe

that was just too much for the internet to, you know what I'm saying, to break was just too much right for the internet to you know I'm saying to break down at one time Stopped and just to clarify you didn't say you were gay people saying Twice Information came to me like tank was on Angelique's podcast. I had a group chat. It was like Tank was on Angelique's podcast saying he sucked two bitches. I'm like, what? I have not.

I haven't. I just want to be clear. I'm just telling you, it's like a game of telephone. By the time it got to you. I was like, Tank said what? Yeah. I'm like, why would he just randomly volunteer that information? I don't like it.

I don't like it. No, it's not. And then, you know, I heard you say yesterday, like, what does it have to do with homophobia, right? Yes. And it's crazy because when people are in the comments and everything and they're throwing gay at me, they're not throwing gay at me in a sense of, oh, he's different but still special. No, they're throwing gay at me like rocks in a Chinese protest. Got you. You know what I'm saying? In an effort to try to tear me down.

You know what I'm saying? I agree with that because I looked at it. They're not speaking in a sense of oh, he's just not like us. They're like, no, he's damned. I hope he chokes on the s***. That's what they're doing. And so I think that part is wrong. If you're still choking on s***, you need to suck more than two. I don't do that.

If you suck more than two, you have experience. I don't have no experience. I can understand why you would choke on it if you only did it twice. I don't understand. I don't understand, gentlemen. I'm not falling into this s*** again. Listen, I get called gay all the time. I've said some wild stuff in the middle of just talking conversations. Listen, I've said some wild things.

I've worn blouses before. Yes, I've been in it. You were in here with your legs up. I was in here with my legs up. We've had this moment, right? Talk about back to the blouse. When you wear a blouse? I'm saying some shirts just don't always come out the midsection.

That's not the point. Pink? I was about to throw somebody else under the bus. They do it too, but that's not what I'm going to do. Who else wears blouses? I'm not saying a blouse. I'm just saying a silk shirt that's open kind of shows your breast area up here.

Your chest area, Tank. Breast sectionals. Breast sectionals. Men don't have breasts. Tank, you're not helping yourself right now. I beg to differ. I beg to differ. Wow.

How did all this happen? It tastes like the men I've seen. But I don't think it was homophobia though bro How is it not? I do think you received some homophobia No not some A gang I think a lot of us just wanted to know Well what is considered gay

They didn't want to know what's considered gay They wanted to consider me gay They wanted to change the whole story. Because you even said that, because you even thought that. Yeah. You're gay. Yeah, I can see how people would think that. That's how you got it.

It's not a fair assessment of me having an opinion. Now, it's a clip. Now, people who did their due diligence and went and watched the video, there was clarity for them They're like oh I get what he's saying Not that I have to agree with it But I do get what he's saying Alright we got more with Tink when we come back

Don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning Good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club Now yesterday Tink stopped through I was on vacay And Charlamagne and Yee got a chance talk with him. Let's get back into that interview, Charlamagne. You can call Gabe more now with this, or when you was up here talking about

how much you like to get your ass eaten. Which I agreed with you on. I think this might have been, this might have took the cake. This might have took the cake. Because at least with the salad tossing thing, you know what I'm saying? Like, the d*** hadn't gotten involved. You know what I'm saying? Like, the s*** hadn't gotten involved.

You know what I'm saying? I think once the s*** got involved, then it became a whole different level. Man, I can't wait to see how much Dick tweets how he chops this up. This is going to be so good. It's going to be so bad and good at the same time. I got to have an album out. Well, Tank, one more question. If you have sex with a man twice.

I don't know. I don't know album out. Well, take one more question. If you have sex with a man twice. I don't know. I don't know. I've never had sex with a man. I don't plan on having sex with a man. I don't know. Angela. You know, he's going to be yelling

two d***s at you in the street, right? Two d***s? You know that's coming, right? His album is out right now, though. My album is out, man.

Elevation. Oh, Elevation. Elevation. I don't even know. This is wild, man. He's supposed to be here for me, man. I was with you, but I'm going to tell you something. That was a good conversation.

But it sparked a lot of good dialogue. Well, if people listen to both sides, it'll spark good dialogue. Yes. And I like it because I think it does expose a lot of people's fragile masculinity. Absolutely. Because, I mean, like, if you're sitting around with four women, why can't you have that conversation? Even though you were sitting around with some guys,

why couldn't you have that conversation? Well, I mean, then they bring up a bunch of things like, oh, so it makes sense that he performed at Gay Pride and all of these things. I'm like, you got on a pink hoodie now. They'll say that. Well, I mean, saying the Laurent made it in his color. I mean, which way are you going? I'm just a fan of humanity.

You know what I mean? I feel like we all are different for a reason. And those differences shouldn't separate us and shouldn't make us hate each other. You'd be amazed at the things you're teaching our black men and you're helping our black men and

you're helping with this white supremacist agenda. What are y'all talking about? Yeah, I saw some of that too. Like, you guys are pushing this agenda. No, I made a joke about... Right. What's the best joke you saw about yourself this week? I saw a picture

with me and a bag of sugar. I love sugar. Sugar in the tank is great. You should play off that. It was, I'm not going to do it. You should play off that.

No, I'm not going to. You could write a whole record about fragile masculinity and toxic masculinity. I am not, I am not here advocating for anything other than my album

and love each other. Yes, but that's part of the love. I can listen to your music. Your music throughout the years has always been about embracing the divine. What's the hook? The divine feminine. On the toxic masculinity song, what's the hook?

The divine feminine is the sweetness, right? And you're in tune with your divine feminine energy. I'm, I'm. The sweetness is the sugar. Nope. The sugar in the tank. Nope. Come on, bro.

No. See, I gotta be in. Nope. Come on, bro. No. See, I got to be in some of these marketing meetings, man. No, you do not need to be in none of my marketing meetings. Listen, did you write Slave for Life Jennings? I think you wrote that record. I did not write that record. I do, because you defended that. You defended those lyrics.

I know y'all got a song together. No, I didn't defend his lyrics. I defended his creativity. Right. You have the right to be together. No, I didn't defend his lyrics. I defended his creativity. Right. You have the right to be creative. You have a right to be creative. That is true. I didn't defend his lyrics.

There have been slave references and all of these things since in the hip hop world and all of these things and nobody was mad until a guy actually put melody to it. That's not true. Because Lil Wayne, it's not necessarily a slave reference, but when he said beat that ass up like Emmett Till or beat that pussy up

like Emmett Till. Beat it like a cop. They played the record. No, radio bleeped that line. It was a top ten record. Yeah, but radio took that line and on streaming services now, that line ended up.

Even if they took the line out, the line is in the song. There was no outrage. There was no outrage. No, there was. It just wasn't no social media back then. It didn't stop the record from doing anything, dog. But they took it out.

They took that line out. They didn't replace it with another line. They split it. Right here it goes. Right here goes the other line. And when people sang along with the song, they didn't stop singing right there. They said the line. But they still took it out. It didn't stop the record from performing well in all

of these outlets. But it was a good record. If anything, if that record was, if there was so much outrage surrounded around the record, they shouldn't have played the record. But it was a good record. So you're saying if it's a good record, you could say. It's not a good record. Why is it not a good record? It's not a good record.

I told Life that when he was here. It's just not a good record. So you're saying if it's a good record, you can say whatever you want in it? Are you saying that if it's a, the reason life's not playing is because of the content? Because I'm saying it's not playing because it's not a good record. I think that if the problem is content overall, then whether the record is good or bad, it shouldn't be played if we're going to set a bar.

Got you. You know what I'm saying? At the time, Lil Wayne was burning on fire. There's not going to be a Lil Wayne record that nobody's not going to play. But as we speak to the content side of it, if we're measuring content on the same bar, on the same level, then if it's damaging, if it's, you know what I'm saying,

if it's in that space, you can't play it. You like that Life record? Life is a great artist. He's made great music. Let's be honest, Tank. Do you like that record? Just sonically. Forget the content, just when you hear it.

I am not going to say that that is Life's best record. Okay. I'm not going to say that. That's all best record. I'm not going to say that. You know, when Fantasia was up here, she was talking about getting married and what made her decide, okay, this is what I need to do with myself in order for me to accept this love. What did you need to do for you to be able to accept the love to get married? I had to accept myself, you know what I mean?

Because I had been married before, and I didn't want to make the same mistakes. And so a lot of me getting to the point of finally saying that I'm ready was getting over the fact that I had failed. And when I finally came to terms with, you know, the idea of that, I can do it. I can do it.

I can be better. I can do better. I owe her better. That's when it, you know, came full circle. That's interesting because I learned that lesson from my fathers and my uncles. You know what I'm saying? Like watching all their relationships not work out, like their marriages ending, divorce and stuff like that.

So when you're a man and you're wilding and engaging in that kind of behavior with your significant other, you're like, yeah, I don't want it to end like that. But you actually went through it. Because I'm a first generation of everything that I am. So there no blueprint for me like i was just thrown into the fire you know i'm saying i'm 24 years old with a hit record touring the country newly married new baby you know i'm saying so girls throwing their panties girls throwing everything on stage yeah you know i'm saying and so i just wasn't equipped mentally or physically. I was a kid. That's smart, though.

Yeah, I didn't have it. And I just, like I said, I wanted to be better for this moment. Did you know that then? Did your emotional IQ get higher as you got older? It got higher as I got older. The more I went through. No, I was young and dumb. So back then you probably was cheating a whole lot and then telling your wife what?

Whatever I could tell her. You know what I mean? You lucky to be with me? No, no, no. I've never been that guy. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. You know what I'm saying? I was always the, I got to hide it.

You know what I'm saying? Which makes you feel like a piece of shit. Well, back to that. Yes. I was a liar. How many lies? One or two? I'm just asking. How many lies was it, Tink?

It was Lying at that point Was the lifestyle But, you know, like I said You gotta learn And you gotta grow And you gotta do better You know what I mean?

You just have to Or you won't Or you won't get the most Out of what's supposed to be yours Alright, we got more with Tank. 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 Tank. He was here yesterday. I was on vacay. So Charlamagne and Yee got to kick it with him. Charlamagne.

So you got a song on the album called WWJD. I'm assuming that's What Would Jesus Do. What Would Jodeci Do. What Would Jodeci Do. Yeah, Kanye's doing the gospel album. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm doing the R&B album. Damn. You feel what I'm saying? What Would Jodeci Do, Tank? What Would Jodeci Do? That's a tough one. Now, see, that intrigues me.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's that song. Yeah. Produced by Harmony. Written by... You don't write your own music, Tank? I thought you wrote your own music. No, I write most of my music, but I don't mind getting a song from somebody who's written the dopes. It's my guy.

He's going to be so mad watching this interview. He newly ripped now. He probably don't want you to shout him out after hearing about them two s***s this week. City High. Oh, okay. Ryan Tobey. That's my guy.

That's my bro. Forgive me right now. Ryan Tobey. That's my guy. That's like my bro. Forgive me right now. Ryan Tobey wrote that record. He brought it to me. I said, this is a smash. What would Jodeci do, though? In what situation? Like, what is this concerning?

Well, the song is constructed with a bunch of Jodeci moments in the song. Ah, s***. You know what I'm saying? So it's a lot of lyrical and melodic tie-ins. Can we play that? Yeah, of course you can play it. Absolutely. Let's play all of it.

It's Freaky Friday. Play the whole album. Play the whole album. It's Freaky Friday. That's the only reason. That's why I'm here. Oh, okay. What's Dirty about?

Dirty? It is about being dirty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. After When We, I felt like we could go one more level. Wow. Above When We. Without completely, you know what I'm saying, being all the way out of pocket. There's one more level we can get to.

After Dirty, there's nowhere else we can go. You know, I heard a dope song that I don't think it's released yet. It's you and Duval and Jacquees called Nasty. Yeah. They should have put that out this week. Right after your comment. Come on, Duval. Drop that.

Drop that nasty Duval. It's a dope song. Like, I'm a fan of Duval. I love what he's doing. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, the idea of him throwing on some slacks, tucking the shirt in, and singing, you know,

and singing some grown R&B. Yeah. Have you heard his R&B song, Droppin' S*** Off? Yeah. You should jump on that too right now. I'm okay. Yeah. I don't want to be associated with anything. I didn't know that really was a song. I don't want to be associated with anything with that word in it. With s***. I'm not saying

that word no more. So if Dick Sporting Goods come to you right now and Dick Sporting Goods say we want to give you an endorsement deal, you're not going to take it? No. I don't believe you. No, not right now. See, now you have fragile masculinity. Now your masculinity has been very fragile. Well, look at what I've gone through in the last 24 hours.

It's not my fault. No, stand on them d***s, man. No, I will not. Stand strong. No. Why are you doing this? What does your wife have to say? Why don't you talk about my album?

What does she have to say about all this? She doesn't like it. What does she say? She doesn't like it. What does she have to say about all this? She doesn't like it. What did she say? She doesn't like it. What did she say? Because her DMs are filled with, your man is sucking. That's what's going on. That's what she has to deal with.

Are you sucking him with him? That's what she's going through. Oh, my God. That sounds disrespectful. That's what's going on. It's really hard out here, man. Oh, my God. No need to say that in a conversation about s***. We know it's hard out here.

I just took my Seamoss. All right, man. And Amari Hardwick's on the album a couple of times. Yes, it is. What's their affiliation with Amari Hardwick? That's my brother, man. Y'all look like y'all could be brothers for real. Yeah.

I've even taken pictures as Ghost. You know what I'm saying? Wow. Oh, my God. You, Amari, and Michael Jai real. Yeah. I've even taken pictures as ghosts. You know what I'm saying? Wow. Oh, my God. You, Amari, and Michael Jai White. Michael Jai. I get that, too. I get that, too.

And I advise the girls, you're a ghost. I'm like, yeah. Can I take a picture? Sure. Let me take a picture, and hopefully later she'll find out that I'm tanked. But I think he's just extremely gifted, man. His mixture of spoken word, the poetry, the rap, the way he does that, I think is really, really dope. It's interesting when you hear him because we know him so much from seeing him on Power.

And then you see him doing the spoken word and the music and you're like, oh. Because at first it's like a hard transition in your head. That's how I think for Jamie Foxx at first as a comedian and as an actor. And then seeing him sing, I feel like they have it a little harder to break down. Well, yeah.

People don't take him serious. Yeah, because people are just locked into a thing and that's, you know, people get selfish. Like, that's the only time they want to take you out of the box.

You know what I'm saying? And use you is when you're doing that thing and when you're done with that they want to put you back in the box. You know, but, you know, I just wanted to use

my platform to give him the space and freedom to be all that he is. That's Tank, man. I think we got enough from Much Dank to make a great video. And yeah, your album's up. Say something nice about my album. I haven't heard it yet. If this is

entertaining as the conversation you had on lip service, though, about them two d**ks. It's a really good album. It's my best work yet. No, that's important. And you have so much great work, so that's something to live up to. You know people are going to be listening. I'm very happy about this.

I'm extremely happy about this. You can't tell me nothing else. We're about to play What Would Jodeci Do? right now, so you can introduce that. Oh, let's play that. Yeah, What Would Jodeci Do? Harmony, Ryan Tobey. I'm just a singer on this one, man. Very inspirational. Jodeci do right now? So you can introduce that. Oh, let's play that. Yeah, what would Jodeci do? Harmony, Ryan Tobey. I'm just a singer on this one, man. Very inspirational.

Jodeci was one of my favorite groups. Helped shape the fabric of everything that I am musically. Let's lock that in. What would Jodeci do if they were approached

with a question like they got on lip service about a dick? Jodeci probably getting up and leaving. But that's just saying. Jodeci getting up and leaving. Well, thanks for staying. Jodeci getting up and leaving.

Man, I'm out. I ain't got time for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are we doing? Because in those times you weren't, you didn't talk about that. Yeah.

This is 2019. Now you can talk about anything. Right, you can. You can. And you should be able to. Yeah. Yeah.

It's take. It's the Breakfast Club. Why are you looking at me? 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's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road

portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my

popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.

It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Breakfast Club. Yes. Donkey of the Day goes to a man named Hansel DeBartolo III. He's 37 years old, and he legally changed his name to Sexy Vegan.

I'm not making this up. This young man named Hansel DeBartolo III legally changed his name to Sexy Vegan. If you're watching Revolt, you can see Sexy Vegan on the TV. Now, I can make this the shortest Donkey of the Day ever and give him the biggest hee-haw right now for illegally changing his name to Sexy Vegan, but it gets worse. Well, in the case of Donkey of the Day, it gets better. Now, two things you need to know. Number one, you may know who Sexy Vegan

is. He got slightly infamous back in the day when he appeared on the Dr. Phil show and it turned out like this. I am the beautiful vegan messiah. It's a song. I didn't say I was, and she knows it. I was just like my dad.

Ten luxury cars. My dad told me I had the same name as him until I legally changed it. My mom did not bail me out of jail when she knew I was innocent. I'm liberating over 70 billion pigs in cages so small they cannot move for years. My mom's a sociopathic piece of s***. I have the highest score in hot or not history. I got 9.99 out of 10 after 327 women rated me. Let's see your talent.

All right. Let's see your f***ing talent, you ugly piece of s***. Okay, stop. Hey, hey, look at me. Let's see your talent. No, hey, hey, no, you need to look at me. I don't have to do f***ing s***. Okay, take him out. All right, sexy vegan, ladies and gentlemen. No, you need to look at me. I don't have to do f***ing s***. Okay, take him out.

All right. Sexy vegan, ladies and gentlemen. Sexy vegan. Now, number two. We all know what the word dog means in our culture, right? You have had tons of rappers with dog in their name. Most famous Snoop Dogg. People use the term down south a lot still in reference to your homies, your friends, your partners.

You'd be like, that's my dog. All right? I don't use the word dog because I think it's just God backwards. I would rather say peace God to my brothers as opposed to what's up dog, but I don't knock anyone who does it. Do you, dog? I also don't think anyone immortalized it as much as DMX did when he made the classic tune

Get At Me, Dog. Turn that up a little bit. The Urban Dictionary says dog is your best friend, your friend to lean on, your companion. So all my slang impaired people out there understand what I mean when I say my dog. Okay. It's safe to say that you would never hurt your dog, right?

You wouldn't hurt your dog, right? No. You know, you wouldn't hurt your dog. Never. I love my puppy. What you want for your dog, you want for yourself, right? You can't call someone your dog if you inflict pain on them in any way. So what if, you know, I told you that the sexually, sexual, sexy vegan, what if I told you that the sexy vegan sexually assaulted his dog?

What do you mean? Well, that's the allegation. The sexy vegan is accused of assaulting his partner, his dog. Let's go to YouTuber Isaac Butterfield's page for the report, please. A face-tattooed man who legally changed his name to Sexy Vegan has been charged with sexually assaulting his dog. Sexy vegan whose real name is Hansel Marion Di Bartolo III. Can I just say, this is all allegedly. I don't want to get sued by his very rich parents. Hansel Gretel, sexy vegan, was busted in West Hollywood on Thursday over a video he allegedly posted on social media

showing inappropriate behaviour with a pit bull, prosecutors said. Detectives found a video on social media showing inappropriate behavior with a pit bull, prosecutors said. Detectives found a video on social media of the suspect performing an act of bestiality. The faces up to one year in county jail if convicted, the attorney office said, stressing the case was still being investigated. Oh, they met an actual dog. How did I miss that? I read this in the New York Daily News this morning, and I didn't think anything of it. I just profiled the guy.

He's white, and he had tats all over his face. Is he really a vegan? He had an urban glare, okay? I saw it say he sexually assaulted his dog, and then I got busy doing other things. I didn't realize the guy was literally penetrating pit bulls. All right, sexy vegan was hound humping. All right, mating with mongrels. Loving on Lassie.

Skeeting on Scooby. Hey, Scooby. Where are you? My first thought when I heard this story is this is exactly why I don't eat meat. I mean, why I eat meat. All right. Wow. Okay.

This is exactly why I eat meat. All right. You stop eating animals just to fornicate with them? What kind of logic is that? They say it takes a different level of consciousness and compassion to stop consuming dead animals. So what level of consciousness and compassion does it take to fornicate with one? I have so many questions. Is there a relationship between Sexy Vegan and the dog?

Were they a couple? Did he at least give her some Happy Howie's doggy treats before he gave the dog his bone? All right. I was told that Sexy Vegan loved this animal, and it wasn't just sex. But when we reached out to the dog for comment, he said this. He don't love me. He just love my dog's style. Now, Sexy Vegan is pleaded not guilty.

His bail is set at $35,000, and he could face a year in county jail. I have nothing else to say about this. All right, some donkey of the days just sell themselves. If Sexy Vegan is listening, I just want to tell you, keep your head up, and I would like to play a song for you and your barking ass bae. Alright, I'm going to flash back to my quiet storm days. I used to do

the quiet storm in Charleston, South Carolina 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Z93 Jams and Hot 98.9 introducing love songs. This is Charlamagne Tha God, Thug Love Status. This is Charlamagne Tha God, Thug Love Status and this joint is from me

The sexy vegan And his barking ass bae It's Paul Anza With Puppy Love And they called it Puppy Love Oh I guess I'm in love. Need to move

from canine comfort yet? Please give Hansel DeBartolo, aka Sexy Vegan, the biggest he are. Beep! Ah! Beep!

Ah! Now, there's somebody in this room who likes canine comfort, but I'm not gonna say no names. Oh. Shh, don't say that. Does he have a labradoodle but I'm not going to say no names. Oh.

Does he have a Labradoodle? I don't know what kind of dog he has. Steve! He grabbed the microphone. I didn't say nothing. I hit dog will holler. I love my dog, man. Not that much.

You thought they said that they wish they would have never created the Labradoodle. That was bull-ish. And they called it a Frankenstein. That was fake news. What's the craziest thing you did with your dogs? I just, uh, we go to the park and stuff, but he's listening right now. I just want to give my dog Fritz a shout out. Hey, Fritz,

if you're listening right now, I'll be home soon. What? Wow. A roof? Alright. What are you doing to that Labradoodle? Doodle love with the Labradoodle. Alright. Jesus Christ. Alright, man. What are you doing to that Labradoodle? Doodle love with the Labradoodle. Alright. Alright. Jesus Christ.

Alright, well, thank you for that donkey today. I don't have time for this level of whiteness anymore. Make sure you follow Steve so you can see him in his Labradoodle. Yeah. Alright, we got more coming up next with The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. My name is DC Yo Fly. Uh-oh. Carlos Miller. Hey. And Chico B. Hey.

We're in The Breakfast Club. We done made it to The Breakfast Club, bro. Y'all have y'all moment. Go ahead. I've been here before. I've been here before. I'm going to be honest with you. I did not realize Chico ain't never been here before.

Yes, you did. I really did not, Chico. It's a shame that y'all both keep telling him I've been here before. I've been here before. I'm going to be honest with you. I did not realize Chico ain't never been here before. Yes, you did. I really did not, Chico. It's a shame that y'all both keep telling him he's been here. He keeps telling you he hasn't. You're my partners, though. Like, I love these motherfuckers. It's a damn shame we never been up here. That is crazy.

You could have come up here for at least exclusive online content or something. At least to stand in the window like them and look like something. Get some content for the YouTube page. Now, what made y'all want to do the 85 South thing? Because, of course, y'all met on Wild N' Out, I'm sure. What made y'all decide this is the threesome that could do 85 South? The three... You got to watch your mouth, Shaka, man.

I know you write books and all, but your words... This is the thing. Keep trying to slip in all of these things in your windows. Show them that you always pick the wrong thing to say. You ain't writing no book right now, Shaka, man. The threesome. The trio. The trio. Chill, bro. He had to say threesome. You ain't writing no book right now, son, man. He always say the trio. The trio. There you go.

You ain't writing no threesome. This is a brotherhood. Exactly. There you go. The brotherhood. The brotherhood of three. What made y'all want to get on this train?

I know I'll start. We met on Wild N' Out. You know what I mean? We knew each other. Me and Los knew each other prior to wild and out but you know it was just an idea that los always had we always scheming about things that we can do to kind of you know further our talent and just show the world more about you know what it is that we do individually and as a unit so los was just like man i'm great make a

podcast and we're gonna make this thing go so you know he wanted us to be a part of it and that's just the way it went. They say y'all don't play in the show when y'all go on tour. Y'all just go out there and whatever feeling y'all got. I'm gonna tell y'all how we used to do it, right? We used to have a structure.

You know, like how y'all used to... A structure. A structure. You said structure. You gotta put a K in it. It's a structure. You know how y'all used to have a paper you know exactly what you were gonna say.

You know your key type is what you were gonna do. We just had to figure each other out first. And then we used to have a piece of paper, you know exactly what you were going to say. Your key type is what you were going to do. We just had to figure each other out first. And then we used to have a piece of paper in the first two, three shows. Even with the podcast podcast, we would just go at it. Now, we don't have no paper. We going off each other's comedy and we're going off the vibe

because we know each other's scrimps already. All we got to do is press record and we be like what you do today? And it's on and popping. What did you see? It's on and popping. What did you see? It's on and popping. Taylor went to the show, right? And Taylor said, there's one of y'all that has no filter, doesn't care about anything, will go left or right.

By the way, that's all three of them. That's all of us. Nobody. That's all three of them. You get the levels of, you know what I'm saying, just of stupidity. I don't give a f***ness. That's what it is. It's just stupidity.

You got me, the young wild, ain't no telling. You got to watch him. Chico, he in the middle between the young and the wisdom. So he be like, I want to go to D.C., but I can't. I got to change my life around. I got to tell him. You know what I'm saying? So it's the mix.

You know what I'm saying? And then he intelligent like a mother******. Then you got the OG, the wisdom, who done been through everything. Oh, look. And he sit there and still tell you that your grandma's still a freak. She's still a freak.

How do you think your uncle got here? Carl, how your mom and daddy feel about you talking about their sex life? Well, my mother passed away, so she don't give a damn. My father ain't having much sex,

so he just living vicariously through me. I mean, I was talking about my father last night. He come to the show. I heard. Drink up $200 worth of Hennessy. But I just got one of those fathers that's like,

it don't matter how successful I get, he's still going to be a n***a. He's going to try to holler at some young... I got to kick him out of every show. That's the cloth that I came from. You damn sure kicked him out last night. He definitely did. Definitely did. But he enjoyed his help before he got put out.

So you let him travel with you? I take him places. Okay. But he has to leave early. He had no food time. So you let him travel with you? I take him places. Okay. But he has to leave early. He had no food. What'd he say on the phone? Oh, the girl was taking a picture on the phone. She was like, your camera's smudged.

He was like, smudged? You talking about my phone like it's nasty, young lady. I said, man, this is an OG playoff right here, man. I'm so excited, man. You're talking like my phone. You're talking like my phone. You're like, I can let my phone. That's a nasty word. What's the biggest transition y'all had to make since getting some celebrity?

I think for me it's just understanding that the reach is greater now. So the decisions that you have to make don't just affect you anymore. So, you know what I mean? But now you got to understand that your reaction is going to cause a shock wave throughout everything that you got going on because people are looking at you to either try to get something from you or either your fans or whatever it may be. So you have to be real selective about who and what you give your energy and time. Let's note that DC said Chico is the smartest.

You said you what? Damn who I represent. I'm slapping their ass. F***. She f***ing with me. Well, you got accused of being mean-spirited You found your man yes, I'm just saying. It's been years? Yes. Is it plans? Oh, and you brought me plans? No, I have a boyfriend.

You like your booze? It ain't plans. Because you know that's who we were talking about in the car. I'll be all, Angela, yeah, you had her. She be giving me, I'll be like, give me all that. She be sitting on that motherfucking radio all motherfucking day, and that bitch will just be right. Don't nobody say Angela.

You name like Webby. Angela Lee. Angela Lee. You heard how he said Charlamagne's name? Huh? Charlamagne. Charlamagne. Charlamagne.

You keep all that over there, you. All right? Charlamagne. Webby, my favorite breakfast club interview ever. Because he don't answer no questions. Webby, what you doing? Mike, we just doing it, Mike? No kids, Mike. Mike, no kids, Mike. That room smell

like pee, Mike. Yeah, but the album coming out, boo gonna be straight. Boo straight. I told the boo yesterday. This is funny, but I always come with the question like he says. Tell me a little bit more about the room. Like, how did you guys set it up and everything? Come on, Andy. Alright, we got more

with Carlos Miller, Chico Bean, and DC Young Fly from MTV's Wildin' Out. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, from MTV's Wildin' Out, we have DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Carlos Miller in the building.

Now, when you guys are roped to somebody, are there rules to it? Oh, just don't talk about nobody. To my dead family. Yeah, dead family. It's always. Now, when you guys are rogues to somebody, are there rules to it? Oh, just don't talk about nobody. To my dead family. Yeah, dead family. It's always. Or kids, right? I would say don't talk about kids. Kids, your kids.

Your kids can get it. Really? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Your kids can catch it. Kids only get it when they're walking to it. Like, say, if I rogues you, if I'm rogues you, right, and your child just come out of nowhere, he got a little walk. You like, oh, y'all got a little

stupid ass walk. He just come out of nowhere. You like, oh, that's on the line. You like, hey, I'm like, boy, I see. I just can't

act like I don't see on the line. So I get you and your little boy. But I ain't gonna talk about the little boy until he walk through. He gotta walk

in the line of fire. Exactly. And he's just so happy to see it. You know what? How do y'all feel when people come at y'all kids? Because Chico, I be seeing your little girl online.

DC, you put your little girl online. I know they be trying to get y'all. My little girl bald head. I see it first hand. Shout out to my son. You ain't seen my son? I ain't never seen you post your son. My son?

Yeah, because my son don't like that. He at the age where he be like, don't do that. Don't post that. Yeah. I don't want to be on there. I posted a picture of him one day and it got like 10,000 likes. He was like, I'm cute, don't do that. Don't post that. I don't want to be on there. I posted a picture of him one day, and it got like 10,000 likes. He was like, I'm cute, ain't I?

I got you all them likes. I was like, boy, chill out. But my son, he's about to be 10. He don't want to be popular or none of that. He just likes to chill, play his game. He don't want all that. I think that posting her now and being able to navigate that energy with her while she's with me will help her when she gets older. Because social media and all that are going to change.

It's going to be old by the time she grows up. So I want her to be trained to not pay attention to opinions of people. It's not real. You go up under your comments and somebody can say anything to you, but it's all what you decide to dedicate your energy to. So I'm just teaching her that you got the power to let people affect you on a day-to-day basis. And you put her in your sketches, Chico, brother knowledge. Oh yeah, definitely, because it's fun.

Hilarious. She into it. It's funny. She into it. That's what she wants to do. She expressed like, Daddy, I want to be in a play. I want to do this. So I'm like, well, do it with me so you can get all the nervous energy that you may have and all of that because when she's doing something with me she don't feel any great father yeah and she's just like i'm with my daddy so i'm gonna do whatever so i just think that me being in

her life and allowing her to be able to get all her dreams off and do whatever she want to do while she with me is gonna make it easier when she get out here amongst strangers does she watch the podcast and stuff do they watch the podcast uh nah. You never be, you won't be, man, we keep you watching everything. Like, Daddy, what's a condom? Oh, nah. Yo, that's a light question for my daughter. I know what my little girl looks like, man. It's coming, fly.

My little girl looks just like this mic right here, man. Grow some hallow, bald head girl. How old is she now? Lee, man, too old to be bald head. Leave the baby alone, man. I've been telling you, man. Every time she wake up, I be like, bitch, look, your hair ain't growing. You go back to sleep.

So what kind of questions are your kids asking? It's so much, because they online all the time. But it's not nothing too graphic or too hard. So you've got to really explain, like, well. Yeah, my son, he a boy, so he see stuff, and he just act like he don't see it. I know I'm doing a good job as a father because he told me one day, he was like, Daddy, boys don't kiss. I was like, yeah.

See? Equal opportunity. Equal opportunity. I hear iHeartMedia. I ain't saying that. equal opportunity I hear iHeartMedia I'm not f***ing up you ain't saying that we about to we about to

switch we about to switch it back up ladies and gentlemen welcome to the breakfast club you got hair growing cream sit in my way

start talking like the white man that happens but yeah that's where we live. Why has Wild N Out worked for y'all, but not necessarily other people who may be funny? Like somebody like Jess Alaris,

she didn't necessarily shine on the show. How did y'all figure it out? What you mean she didn't shine? She shined on the show. You know, everybody just took their own, you know what I'm saying, opportunity and did it, you know what I'm saying, how they ever want to do it. Because Wild N Out worked like this, bro. It's like, you got to be a part of a team.

It's different when you're a comedian and you can get your laughs by yourself and you're used to doing your own thing, but like, can you be part of a team? Can you set up a joke for somebody else? Can you be the joke? Do you know how to play off somebody getting a joke off on you? So a lot of that, a lot of

those things come into play with Wildin' Out. And then, you know, it's a lot of people on there. So a lot of people are a lot of those things come into play with Wild N Out. And then, you know, it's a lot of people on there. So a lot of people are just looking for their niche and they never find it. And they just want to be funny all the time. Exactly. I just told myself like after my first season, I just told myself, really I learned after my second season

because my second season wasn't probably my best season out of all my seasons. You feel me? It was kind of more so I seen what they tried to cut me up, make me look like, you know what I'm saying, like I'm getting clean. But then I was like, oh, wait a minute. You know what I mean? That ain't me.

I had to go in there and rough my hair up a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yours was looking just like the microphone. Just like the microphone. You know what I mean? I'm like, wait a minute. Why people try to change you, DC? It wasn't that.

It was just more so like I felt like the game tried to change me too fast. Before, it was like, hold up, let me find my place in the industry. You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, okay, me just being me is where I'm at instead of me just trying to elevate. Learn with the game. Don't let the game outgrow you just yet. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm learning with the game. And then after my second season, it was back to action. You know what I mean? It's just like how you said, don't really care about getting to laugh all the time. Can't you be the joke? Make fun of me every show so I can be on TV. Right. And the

platform is wide open. One thing people don't realize about Wild N Out is you don't always have to be talking to be funny on that show. So many ways. That's a lot of ugly people on the show. The platform is wide open. Get the camera going across.

Wide open. That's the thing about the show. There's no structure to what you can do in regards to the comedy that you want to present. For example, the old school battles that me and him do. That was just something that was organically that we just did. Hey man, you bet you don't want to do this. And that's

the thing. You can do whatever you want to do. You just have to find a way to make it work within that system of being on there with a whole bunch of other people because everybody want to get on there and become the star. But it's not really structured for there to be one star. And the big star is Nick Cannon. It's a Nick Cannon Presents. After that, everything else is, you know, team oriented.

So you can find your way. Your ass is an employee. Yeah. Nick Cannon presents. Nick Cannon presents. Practice. Yeah, do y'all practice or rehearse? Practice what?

Rehearse as far as on bottom out. How? Practice what? Nah, y'all just go there and just practice. But how can you rehearse it? How can you rehearse comedy? It's improv, right? Unless it's a stand up.

It's crazy because you came on there. You know we don't rehearse. We in the back kicking it. I mean, I was sectioned, but I thought maybe y'all rehearse like y'all do the family reunion. No, no, no. Some people need that. You know what I mean? Some people, and that's another thing about Wild N' Out.

A lot of people come in and don't get the structure and try to do comedy like they're doing on their phone and all that. But there is no edit and delete when you're shooting live TV. But you got to understand that Wild N' Out is TV. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, they go getting people, and then they put them on the show. But you got to understand, when that thing say action, the lights get to moving like this and shit. People being there, wilding, wilding. Don't put me in there like that.

Oh, shit. Oh, they real. They're TV. All right, we got more with the cast of MTV's Wildin' Out and also the 85 South podcast. Carlos Miller, Chico Bean, and DC Young Fly. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club from MTV's Wildin' Out. We have Chico Bean, Carlos Miller, and DC Young Fly. Charlamagne? How do y'all feel about Nick Cannon's stand-up? Say what?

I mean, damn. How do y'all feel about Nick Cannon's stand-up? What you mean? His comedy. What you mean? Just in general. I'm just saying. He's great.

Yeah. Okay. You thought we was going to say something bad about Nick? You stupid a**hole. You thought we was going to say something stupid about Nick? I didn't say anything. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Nothing bad. I didn't say nothing bad.

I have a question. No. He ruined it. He made up that. What are you talking about? Hold on. Say it again. Rich Brown.

Okay. Nick Cannon. Okay. I thought I was about to say Burn It. You ain't gonna mess up my opportunity to get a clear coat on my skin, Charlamagne. You tripping. What about his music? I'm trying to ruin it.

Huh? What'd you say? Hold on. Wait a minute. What'd you say? What about his music? I'm trying to ruin her. Bro, name Chappelle. What'd you say? Hold on, wait a minute. What'd you say? What about his music? Yeah. It's the Beatles.

Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon. Don't do that. It's the Beatles. Prince, R.I.P. Nick Cannon. So Nick rap better than you? Don't do that.

Huh? Nick rap better than you? What? He's great. Exactly. What? And that's the thing. He's cold.

We make the jokes about Nick, but that's what makes Nick so great is that, you know. He can take the joke. He can, but he can't. He'll be like, cut it out. Make a lot of money off that music. You're f***ing up the brand. But Nick is the type of dude that he got all of the jokes that we tell about him, but that's the thing that make me, you know, so appreciative of him.

It's like, if you a boss, you can put somebody on, but it's the thing that make me, you know, so appreciative of them. It's like if you a boss, you can put somebody on. But it's a difference to put them on and stand next to them while they figuring out the process. And that's what and not only that be the brunt of the joke when they figuring out the process. Like, man, over the years, how many times have we cooked Nick on the show? I think I done cooked him too much. That's why they done kicked me off. They editing you out now? They kicking me off.

They talking about shit. They like, don't even come back next year. You laughing, but I'm dead ass. I was saving that to say that. They done kicked me out.

It ain't that. They kicked me out. They done kicked me out. Call them, be honest now. Breaking news. They called me, they was like,

we love you, but we don't want you. Swear to God, call them. Swear to God. Call them, Chico, is he lying?

No. Nah, he not lying. Tell them. DC? No. The show is about towear to God. Call him, Sean. Chico, is he lying? No. Nah, he not lying. Tell him. DC? No. The show is about to end, man. Come on, man.

The show is about to be over. They kicked me off. You said that thing about boys kissing somewhere, didn't you? They picked you up and said, look, get on the sidewalk. I think it was when I told Nick he was lame as hell for going on a date with Mariah and her new dude. And then I feel like it was all downhill after that. I said it and then it was just,

I was just, the vibe changed. He was like, ha ha. And it was that. They can't just kick Carlos off now. Come on,

we need an explanation. I think it was the white people. The white people, I never really, they never really loved me like that over there.

I feel like it's too much s*** to have that grown man need to have a sit down because I'm the little brother that go, I went to the source. You feel me? Any problem, any solution, I'm confrontation. You know what I'm the little brother that go. I went to the source. You feel me?

Any problem, any solution, I'm confrontation. You know what I'm saying? I go look the confrontation in the mother's eyes. And what do you say? What do you say when you ask them? Basically, they need to have a sit down, man. That's all that is. Put Nick on the phone, man.

Let me tell you something. Put Nick on the phone so I can watch this interview. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You about to call him? Yeah, we're going to call him right now. I can't believe they're doing this to my boy. He going to get this settled. There's some bulls**t here now. It is.

This is the breakfast club. He done waited to the breakfast club. He was up here waiting. I just can't wait for that one question. Los, where you at? I'm not there. Nick. Yo. What's up, my brother? Now listen, we got all our partners in here right now.

We got DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, And Carlos Miller. Like how you said my name last. Now, Nick, is there an issue between you and Carlos? Carlos done told me you done fired him. Yep. There ain't nothing happening. That's my man for life.

So why he not on the show no more? How I'm fired from your man? Is he lying to us? He lying to us, Nick? It's a bunch of people that ain't on the show no more. Y'all know how these white folks work? Oh, blame it on the white folks. God. Tell us. Blame it. It's your show. But, Carlos't on the show no more. Y'all know how these white folks work. Oh, blame it on the white folks.

God. Toast? Toast? It's your show. Carlos is one of the main people on there that I tune in for. Carlos, I love Carlos. I don't know how the negotiations work and how much people get paid and how many episodes and all of that. We ain't talking about that.

But if y'all want to talk about the money on air. We ain't talking about the money. We not talking about the money. It's the job. You got to get the job. Then talk about the money. He said you fired him and replaced him with Cat Williams on the Wild and Not Tall. He didn't say that.

I didn't say that one, though. I didn't say that, but. Carlos said you ain't never want to be on the tour. You ain't never heard me say that. The **** who you had answering the phone called me one day about a flight and was like, well, you need to find something else to do. And I ain't heard from y'all since.

Damn. Yeah, I heard you say you ain't messing with that tour. That is some bulls**t. I ain't never said that s**t. You took that that somebody said. So it's just miscommunication. I ain't never say that.

Because I don't handle the money and all that. As long as my money is right, I get to it. So the thing with having all I know is they said Carlos wasn't messing with us. I'm like, all right. Nick, we love both of y'all. You know damn well. I think you need to have a conversation with Carlos on the low

because he a little hurt. I couldn't believe what he was saying on the breakfast club this morning. Shut up. He didn't say anything crazy. He didn't say nothing crazy, man. He didn't say nothing crazy, man. Don't let this s*** shout a name. Carlos, you want to be back on Wildin' Out?

Yeah. Nick! Nick! Come on, bring Carlos back to Wildin' Out, Nick. Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Real s*** situation. Nick! Yo. Nick, didn't I tell you I'd take a pay cut for my dog to be back on the show? He did. He pulled me to the side.

Now, you know what's crazy? I used to sleep with an older woman, and she would pay me, but I didn't ask her for money. She was just taking care of me because I was her young boy, and you made me think about that just now because she used to like to wear heels and step on my lower back. Yeah, see, I don't know. He used to tell me to, like— If she stepped on your lower back, bro, she stepped lower than that, bro. No, I stepped on my lower back.

Die. With high heels on. Die. That didn't hurt? He has even offered me $1,000 to do him, y'all. Okay. How much did she pay you to step on your little baby? The most she ever paid me, she used to give me like $3,000 at a time.

I was her little young boy. She used to do it for like the food. She used to give me food, too. She used to give me Twinkies. She used to give me Twinkies and bags of chicken and a Ziploc bag to take home. Bags of chicken? Mm-hmm. Okay.

That's great. Shout out to Dawn Dixon. She invented Flat Out Hills for that purpose. John John. What's up, man? What's some creative Australian things you did to make money? F***ing had to get into a nine-year-old

lady before. A 90-year-old lady? Yeah. How much she pay you? She pay like a hundred feet at all. It was back when I was a little younger

though. 150, that's it? How she convince you at 90? What did she say at 90 years old? What did she look like, man? I didn't need the money.

It wasn't as bad as you think though. She was hot? How did she come to you? How did she approach at 90 years old? What did she look like, man? I didn't need the money. It wasn't as bad as you think, though. She was hot? How did she come to you? How did she approach you? Like, baby, I need a little favor, man. He said she was hot.

Well, I had went to play for a job at a little temporary reserve, you know, and she was out there working. She looked young to be this age.

To be 90. How young did she look, bro? How young did she look? 80? You said what? How young did she look? 80? You said what? How young did she look? Well, she could go for like, she was five.

Now what? Oh, what a lady. So you're talking like like Cicely Tyson beautiful because Cicely Tyson is up in, Cicely Tyson 94 and she's a beautiful woman so she was in that vein

is what you're saying. Well, I wish she was black but she wasn't black. Oh, you disgust me. You had expired mayonnaise. What did you do? You just had regular missionary sex? No.

I ain't. She couldn't handle it right there. So I just had to give her, you know, just do the s*** and it was over. She asked you to do it? Yeah, she paid her. What did she say? You got to tell me her exact verbiage. What did she say to you, young boy?

Well, we got to talking. I really came at her because I was trying to get some money. I already know what she was on. How did you figure that out? Did she have bitches? Did she have on her teeth? That's a gift I got. So y'all tried to have sex, but she couldn't handle it because, you know, at 94, it don't work the same.

Nah, nah. She just couldn't handle it. I was a little too rough for her. She dead? Yeah. Did she take out her teeth and perform oral on you? Oh, man. Yes, she did.

Oh, I knew it. Oh, you're disgusting, man. John, you're disgusting. Is she dead now? Yes. I'm sure. I'm pretty sure she is. I mean, I'm 32 now, so.

Okay. How did it feel with those gums rubbing on you? Don't talk about a dead woman like that. What? I'm asking. Oh, man. Did you **** still? Yeah, I ****, but I ain't ****ing it, though.

I would like for you to know. She was real good, man. I think she did it before a lot. Yes, she was 90. That wasn't her first rodeo, sir. John, John, you disgusting, man. I think you're going to heaven. I think that act alone got you into heaven, my brother.

But you did everything else. Who do you think I am? Goodbye, John John. What's the moral of the story, man? I don't know. There's no moral of the story. It's just that there's some people out here doing some strange things for some change out here in these streets, bro, bro. Goodness gracious.

All right. I'm sitting here trying to think what that 90-year-old pom-pom would be like. You still thinking about that? There's got to be guys out there with those kind of fetishes that only want to think what that 90-year-old porn porn would be like. You still thinking about that? There got to be guys out there with those kind of fetishes that only want to sleep with an old-ass woman, right? They do. They have a whole porn category for it. What's that called?
