What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Man, I read your book, man. I like it. Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. DJ, I want to get on your side and not be able to change the tide. Come on. Why?

I mean, come on, man. How, man? You're not going to change the tide. Solomon, you're not going to change the tide. You're goddamn right I'm not going to change the tide. I'm going to tell you something. My daddy ain't teach me much or nothing that was good, but he definitely taught me how to change the tide.

I'll tell you what, then. I'm from New York, and if you're in New York, there's a tire changing place on every corner in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan. Those places cost money. They're actually pretty cheap. They're cheap. They're like $5, $9, like $9 to change a flat.

I don't think y'all understand how bad people do it out here in these streets. I really don't. It's $5, $9. If you ain't got $5 to change a flat, you'd be surprised, bro. If you ain't got $5 to $9 and you driving'd be surprised, bro. If you ain't got $5 to $9 and you're driving, you in trouble.

I feel you, man, boy. I mean, you come to NASA, you know how to change tires, and we can swap airfoils. I'm good. I got AAA, bro. And now with Uber, what? Like I said,

only thing about AAA is sometimes they take a long time to come. I'll say that much. You end up waiting for hours. Sometimes it does. Hello, who's this? This is Anayo. Anayo, get it off your chest.

Oh, I wanted to talk about 50 Cent stealing my show power. Oh, wow. They on their sixth season, bro. It's almost over. You're a little too late, right? Yeah, you should have been brought this up. I understand all that, but going through the process is hard. You know, I was sitting up here going through the process is hard. You know, I was

sitting up here going through the court system with it and they keep pushing it back. So did you present your show to him and he stole your idea or what happened? Yeah, in 2013 I presented my show to him. He wanted to, it wasn't a show, it was a book called The Drug Game Street

Politics. And so he wanted the book but i said i email it and when i email it because you know you got to have paid portrayals when you deal with uh entertainment and when i emailed him he was like all i all he said was thanks we'll get back with you and then nothing else happened and then next thing you know once i got to the third season whatever and um and i started going back i was I was like, wait, this looks familiar. So once I got my lawyers in there, I was like, look. Because you already know what you write.

And I was like, yeah. Did you have the same characters? Did you have a ghost and a Tommy? Were they similar? How were they similar? The similar things is the twins, instead of a white, instead of Tommy, it was a Puerto Rican. And then, like, you know, the DEA agent, she was finished. Like, a lot of stuff, they kept the same.

You know. Well, I'm going to tell you something, man. You're a hell of a writer. And 50 did a great job with your book. Have a nice day. Have a good one, man. Lorenzo! Yo, what's going on?

CJ and V, what's going on, CJMV? What's going on? What's up, bro? Get off your chest Hey, listen, Charlamagne, dude I'm right here, sir Yo, what's going on, Charla? I'm blessed black and highly favored

What's happening? Yes, sir Yes, sir Good morning, YouTube But listen, I want to know what's going on Within the past few years, like 10 years Why everybody got so damn sensitive over everything? Man, you can't say nothing online.

You got to watch what you say. I be feeling like sometimes, you ever heard of that? Like you be seeing in movies, like when people put in movies like that cryo sleep, I just feel like doing something like that. I go to sleep for like 10 years, I come back and be like, yo, what's going on? Well, everybody's so fake politically correct.

You can say whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? You just got to deal with the consequences of what you said. You know? And? Well, everybody's so fake politically correct. You can say whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? You just got to deal with the consequences of what you said. You know, and I think that everybody's so afraid of like these social media mobs and being attacked that they be walking tightropes and walking on, walking on thin ice because they don't want to be attacked by the mob.

But there's so much access now too. Before social media, we weren't hearing what everyone had to say about everything. Now everybody's voicing their opinions and sometimes they're saying things that maybe they regret saying or maybe they're not saying it in the right way. Sometimes they're putting it out there to get overanalyzed by people. They only regret when they get attacked.

That's understandable. That's cool. But you know what I'm saying? It's like, let's say it's Charlamagne. He don't ever post his kids, but he posts his kids, and he does something with his kids. You know, right away, oh, my God, he shouldn't be doing this, this and this and that. Like, come on.

Yo, mind your business. Yeah, I agree with you. Everybody's so sensitive. Everybody's so soft nowadays, but it's just the way society is. Bro, say whatever you want. Who gives a damn? Let the mob attack. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. 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 Laudonia. I it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. 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.

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.

You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's good, MV? What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, man. Yo, I actually met you in Miami for the, with Cesar. When the lights went out, you remember that joint? That just sounded crazy.

This guy is kinky, boy. You gotta watch these videos. We had a real estate seminar in Miami, and the power went out. What if you just said, you know, in the lights, when you were teaching me how to flip stuff? Nah, I'm trying to flip, but not that stuff. Oh, my goodness. Go ahead, brother.

Real talk. Envy, like, the last few weeks been crazy. So I had two jobs. I work from home. And I left one of them thinking, like, let me really invest in real estate. Then come to find out my government job, it canceled my joint. So now I'm like, is this a sign?

Do I really go forward with this? Like, I've seen you mentor, so I'm trying to see what's good. Yeah, I got about three kids right now that I'm actually trying to help to get into some cribs. You being in Miami makes it very difficult because I'm in New York, New Jersey. I can fly anywhere. I can fly anywhere. I can fly anywhere. Like, I'm ready. All right.

All right, thanks. Hello, who's this? This is Ty from Harlem. Hey, Ty from Harlem. Get it off your chest. Yeah, basically, I just want to kind of give myself the donkey of the day for being too stressed. Long story short, you know, New York girl, city girl, I'm supposed to know it all.

City girl. I dated an older guy. Yeah, city girl. And when dating an older guy, he's 45 to my early 30s. I have two children. So my kids went away to school for vacation. I mean, went away for vacation to New York at May,

the end of May. And he went through a situation. The only way I could help him out at the time was, you know, I didn't have the cash, but I allowed him to basically pawn a 50-inch TV and my son's Xbox One with the intentions of him getting it out the next week. You let him pawn your son's Xbox? Yeah. And you ain't get it back?

No. The next week week he was supposed to get it out, so when he got paid, it went from, you know, a check was short, so from one story to another, I asked him for the paperwork to get it out myself and it turned into arguments and turned ugly, so I

stopped dealing with him. I went to New York, you know, got my kids, came back down, so he's trying to get back in where he's sitting. And I'm like, well, what about my kids' things? You know what I mean? Like, you never replaced it. That's cool.

And he's like, oh, I have $145. That's not an LG Smart TV and an Xbox One. You know, I gave it to you to help you pay your rent and come to find out you were, you know, doing things I didn't know about. And speaking of geeking, that's why I left you alone. And you're 45 years old. You know what I mean? So I took myself in the behind, you know, lesson learned. But it's still messed up because I feel like now this dude is like playing reverse and

it's like, oh, well, you know, your mouth and you're rude and disrespectful. You're like, I still ain't got my kid's Xbox. Thank you. And this is why I'm rude and disrespectful. You're like, I still ain't got my kid's Xbox. Thank you. And this is why I'm rude and disrespectful. You know, I found out, you know, I guess Molly is the new thing in Orlando. It's the new crack to me. Molly's the new thing?

Nah, Molly been around, boo. It's crazy that got you pawning your kid's Xbox, though. City Boys up 1,000. It's very crazy that the D got you pawning your kid's Xbox. Basically, I was And um I thought I was helping him out And you know it didn't work out that way What's crazy is

He didn't have any of his own things to pawn Nope No he was renting a room I took it out of his room Getting back on his feet How do you explain that to your child? Why are you dating a crackhead anyway? He's not a crackhead.

He's a mollyhead. How do you explain that to your child, though? After the fact. You said what? I didn't know what it was until after the fact. I'm not from here. I don't know anyone. How do you explain that to your child, though?

Honestly, I didn't explain. I said the TV broke and it's in the shop. You lied. And what about my Xbox, though, ma? Yeah, it broke. Everything, I still water. It got in the TV, the Xbox, and it'll be back this Friday. He's probably so sad.

How old is he? My son, he's 14, his first year of high school. Oh, my goodness. At least you're right. You gave yourself donkey of the day. My daughter is sick, so I have one hollering about YouTube TV and the other hollering about his Xbox,

and I'm just like, oh, I'm going to get it out the shop. Well, don't worry. Your son, in a few years, he'll be doing the same thing to some poor woman, using his D to get what he wants. No, he will not.

I'm determined. That's why I'm putting it on blast. I want you to stop falling for these dudes. You have to really be careful who you deal with and pay attention. That's why I'm putting it on blast. I want you to know, stop falling for these dudes. You have to really be careful who you deal with and pay attention. Let's just learn, never pawn your child's,

never pawn your child's items for a man. How long you been with him? Never, ever, ever. How long were you with him? That's a lot. We were dating for like, only like four months.

Four months too long. Hey, pawn it for penis. Have a nice day, okay? Damn it, man. Keep it locked. We have more coming too long. Hey, porn for penis. Have a nice day. Okay. Damn it, man. Keep it locked. We have more coming up next.

It's the breakfast club. The breakfast club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the breakfast club. Now, if you just join us,

we're talking Takashi 69. Now he's facing 47 years to life in prison. If you were Takashi 6969 would you snitch? let's start off with you Ye I mean first of all I wouldn't be in that situation because I wouldn't be running around like that doing the things that he did

but yes I would I mean that's my point I'm not a criminal so I don't do things I don't try to plot on getting people killed or shot or anything like that

so I wouldn't be there but if I was I'm not no street person. So I'm going to keep it real. But he figured it out. But see, but this is the whole thing. Like, you know, I hate you. You hate me.

I'm supposed to hold it down for you and do 47 years? And all these things that you allegedly did, you stole from me, you knocked off my baby mom, you kidnapped me and all that, and I'm supposed to still hold you down and take the street code to the death?

No way! Yeah, it's not happening. Well, first of all, there's no honor amongst thieves, all right? So you knew who these people were before you decided to ride with them, Tekashi. And I don't expect Tekashi to stick to the code because he wasn't built from the code. And there's been real live street guys who have snitched. So why wouldn't Tekashi 6ix9ine? They shouldn't have expected him to stick to that code.

They should have anticipated this. And, you know, I don't know because one thing I think Tekashi isn't taking into consideration is the impact this is going to have on people around him. When you snitch, he's sending a lot of people to prison. And what we fail to realize about those people he's sending to prison is they also have people too. So now you put your whole family in

danger, Tekashi69, because you want to play. And this is what happens when you play. And we've been telling you for the past year and some change that you was going to either end up here or dead. And it's a good chance you still may end up dead because of what you're doing currently right now. But obviously, it seems like he doesn't care about

his baby mama. So the only thing it seems like he cares about is his mom. So I think I heard they moved out already. And I guess he's like, look, as long as my mom's good, I don't know, he can't hide. Like, there's no witness protection with a big 6'9 on your forehead. Although you could get that tattoo removed. By the way, he may not make it out of prison. That's the other thing.

It's a reason that they have him away from all the other inmates and stuff right now because they know that he's an informant. They don't like rats in prison the same way they don't like pedophiles in prison. I would say if you worked with Tekashi and you knew, like, he's not really this street dude, they should have never included him in a lot of those activities. They should have just let him be an artist because I feel like they should have known when it came down to anything.

He was allegedly funding it. This is just as sad as the Tupac, man. Because Tupac ran with the Bloods for two years. Two years. Ran with the Bloods for two years. Ended up getting into a fight in the lobby with some crips. And now, look. You understand what I'm saying?

Like, yo, man. Y'all, like, yo, just be yourself at the end of the day. Blass! Hey, what's up, C, the guy? Well, good morning, sir. How are you? Now, what would you do, Blass? Hey, good morning. What's up, DJ?

What's up, bro? What would you do? Would you snitch? Nah, man, I wouldn't snitch. Woo! So you would be cool with doing 47 years in prison? Would you snitch? So you would be cool with doing 47 years in prison? He said he's not snitching. You're on phone saying stuff, so you're going to jail.

He's definitely going to jail. So you would do the 47 years because you're keeping it real. Well, actually, 47 years is the minimum. Yeah, that's the minimum. 47 years because you're keeping it real. Well, actually, 47 years is the minimum. Yeah, that's the minimum. 47 years of life. Hell no, we won't tell. What happened to the person that shot you? Oh, the people that was with you on them.

I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not going to sit here and act like I understand what you're saying this morning. I don't even understand. I feel me. You feel me every two sentences. Junior, would you snitch? Nah, I ain't snitching. That's just based off how I was raised and everything.

Like, where I'm from, when you snitch, you get snitched. So if you running with a gang and everything go the wrong way, you feel me, you got to take that fall. You can't do that about it. So, Junior, you going to sit for 47 years? Yeah. I'm going to sit for 47 years. Or more.

Maybe life. 47 is the minimum, buddy. Yeah, I know 47 is the minimum. It's tough, but you saw me. That's what you did to yourself. You can't be all ass screaming gang, gang. You gangsta. That's why when 50 got on that get the strap, he said, I am not gang, gang.

You didn't know that until 50 today. You didn't know that until 50 today and then you were a DJ drama. 50 always been that type of dude, man. 50 always been that type of dude, man. Even though he a troll, too. I ain't mad at y'all. I'm not mad at y'all for not snitching, but I don't believe in here, yo. I don't believe in here.

People say that until they get in that situation. 800-585-1051. We're talking to Kashi. If you was in his situation, would you snitch? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

My body is D-E-J-N-V-A-N-G-E- DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking if you were in Tekashi's shoes, would you snitch? As I'm telling you, don't ask me to commit no crime with you. Don't have me involved in nothing because I have nothing to do with nothing. And I'm a good citizen. Tekashi is doing exactly what we know he would do in this situation.

But if I was in Tekashi's situation, I don't know if I would be so quick to snitch only because he's putting a lot of people in prison and those people that he's putting in prison, they have people. And Tekashi has people on the outside that he wants to protect, like his mom, like his daughter.

He's putting them in grave danger. They're coming for his mom and daughter anyway. They already were regardless. Witness protection. I mean, he's looking. How old is Takashi? 25? Witness protection protects Takashi, not his mom and not his daughter.

But he got to move more. Like, he don't have that kind of money. He's spending money on lawyers. All I know is, weren't they already targeting his mom and his family? That's what I'm saying. And he had to already pay for security for them. So regardless, they're still going to do that. He could be in there until he's 75.

Okay. Yes. Hey, I'd rather my daughter grow up, you know what I'm saying, and live a great life than have her potentially be the victim of gangbangers because I was out here telling and snitching. But she still might not. I'm just saying, it's not as easy a decision for him to snitch as people think it is. I wouldn't have, you know, I would have to think about my family on the outside.

Roderika. Hello. Good morning, Mama. Good morning. I listen to y'all every day. I love y'all. Thank you. Now, what would you do if you was Tekashi69, Mama?

He should go to jail. He chose that lifestyle. He put himself completely in that situation. Like, he had a chance to do something amazing but because he wanted to pretend like he was down in the streets he allowed all that to happen when he brought all those people in his

area, you know? Okay. So you say you wouldn't snitch? No. He has nobody to blame but himself. Okay. You know, if you live by the gun you die by the gun. That's a fact. Ron.

Yes, sir. You snitching Ron? Nah, he can't snitch because he got to save his career. For one, morally, morally he should. His career, Jim? His career. He won't come out until he's 75. There's a possibility.

If he ever comes out. But what I'm saying is that the same reason why he is who he is is because of them people. The same reason he can brag and go to Chicago and do all that stuff he did is because of the same guys that he's snitching on. He didn't have no credibility. They were his credibility. So why would he have a career if he's snitching on the people

that gave him credibility? That's why he's saying he was staying in jail. If he snitched on them, he's done. He's done. I mean, he can't make any more music, especially street music. See, I disagree. This is society right now. Well, he's done. He's done. I mean, he can't make any more music, especially the street music. See, I disagree. This society right now is so crazy right now. He'll make another record and say, you know, yeah, I snitched because they said this,

and then people will love him again. It just seems like that's not what it is now. The girls, the females, because the men definitely, half of the men don't rock with him now. The kids rock with him, but half of the men who do the no snitching and the non-snitching, half of them don't rock with him now. The kids rock with him, but half of the men who do the no-snitching and the non-snitching, half of them don't rock with him now. Yeah, but I think he has a lot of suburbia fans that don't really live by the cold,

so I don't think they necessarily care. I mean, I got three sons, so I'm definitely in an argument about 6ix9ine every day. You know, I got three teenage sons, so I go through with every day about this guy. Right, and they didn't come from the same place that you came from, and they don't care. They just like his music and love the fact that he trolls. And yeah,

they don't even understand. Yeah, you're not going to win that argument with them. So they don't care. They don't care about the street code. Man, they pull up all type of facts, all type of stuff offline. See? And the more you try to argue with them, the harder they're going to go for him. They still going to listen to Tekashi 69. That's how I used to sound when I was a kid,

arguing about what... All you got to do is be like, you know what, I like Tekashi too, and then they probably won't like him no more. Exactly, exactly. You're absolutely right. Thank y'all, man. Y'all have a great day. You too.

What's the moral of the story, if there's a moral? I don't think there is a moral of the story. The moral of the story is you turn out to be what you pretend to be. And guess what? Gangsters, right? Most gangsters end up in the position that Tekashi 6ix9ine is in right now. Either jail or dead up in the position that Tekashi69 is in right now.

Either jail or dead. And a guy like Tekashi69, who was never about that code, is not going to follow the code. And he's going to end up snitching just like he's doing right now. All right, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. Keep The Breakfast Club humble with Slander The Breakfast Club. Tell them be humble.

Sit down. The truth hurt don't. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Slander, The Breakfast Club. That's right. We need the humbling. You know what I'm saying?

We like to do this every now and then just to keep us humble. You know what I mean? All right. Well, let's get to it. Kelly. Good morning, guys. Hey, Kelly, who you want to slander? Charlamagne. Why you want to slander Charlamagne?

I'm a fairly new listener. I've been listening for about two years. And Charlamagne has been open and honest about what he went through as a child in terms of his sexual molestation. And, you know, I wonder if maybe you need to explore that a little deeper in your therapy because out of the three of y'all, Charlamagne, you are the only one that makes so many over-the-top sexual references about man parts, about doing things sexually that most people don't even

talk about in the privacy of their own home. And I wonder if it's because you have residual issues with what happened to you because it's very cringeworthy to listen to you make so many over-the-top sexual references. You do talk about men, but a lot. That's a valid point. Yeah, that's a valid point. You do talk about men, but a lot. I'm not even disputing her.

I think she might be right. All right. Well, thank you, Kelly. Did you hear anything this morning? Not this morning. So I was kind of be right. All right. Well, thank you, Kelly. Did you hear anything this morning? Not this morning. So I was kind of rooting for you this morning, but, you know, y'all not off the air for another 45 minutes. You must have just got in the car.

You didn't hear when I told Envy that just because a man tells you to get on your knees like you used to, that might not be a reference? I did hear that. Okay. That was kind of mild compared to how you used to talk. That is right. Did you hear how he told Envy he was going to fill in his face? I didn't say that. Okay. That was kind of mild compared to how you used it. Yeah. That is right. Did you hear how he told Envy he was going to fill in his face? I didn't say that.

No. He did say that. That didn't happen, ma'am. But thank you, Kelly. Hey, Jason. Good morning, Jason. Hey, what's going on, Envy, Angelina, Liggy, Charlamagne. How y'all doing?

Hi, Jason. What the hell you just said? Who you want to slander? Charlamagne. I think he a closet homo. Everything y'all talk about, it comes back to some closet homosexual stuff. What's up with that, Charlamagne? Like what?

Give me an example. What's in my closet? Give me an example. You tell me just like this morning. I was talking about the rest of Westbrook. You talking about what? Maybe he was gay and he told him to get on his knees. Yeah, it had nothing to do with anything. What are you talking about what made me? He was gay and he told me to get on his knees. Yeah, it had nothing to do with anything.

What are you talking about? Right. Because I don't understand why people just jump to the conclusion that that meant slavery just because a man tells another man, get on your knees like you used to. Well, that's the conclusion Russell Westbrook jumped to. But why'd you go to the homicide? Homicide is murder, sir. It's homicide.

Oh. Oh. Thank you, sir. Oh, my God. Thank you, sir. It's homicide. Oh. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Robert. Hi. Hey, Robert. How you doing?

I'm good. How you doing? I'm good. Who you want to slander? Uh, DJ, I got a slander today, man. Why you want to slander me, brother? Man, I recently started following you on Instagram, man, and all your posts, that is a different call with the same hoodie on every time, man.

He got it on now. What hoodie is it? What does it say? Is it my God versus my enemies? Yes. I love that brand. I wonder why. I love that brand.

I love that brand. Tell him where he can buy it. Yeah, but you can go to bodyofgod.com and you can get your own. You know, my dad said that the same. Do you own any other clothes? You wear that same hoodie all the time. It's a uniform. Why do they think it's the same hoodie?

It's different colors. Exactly. It might be the same. It smells the same. No, it's not. Juan. What's going on? What's going on?

Juan, what's up, my amigo? Hola. Hey, what's up, my Dominican brother? No, you're talking to me. I ain't Dominican. I'm 97% West African Dominican brother? No, you're talking to Envy. I ain't Dominican. I'm 97% West African, sir. No, I'm talking about DJ Envy. He knows Spanish first off first. See you, papi. You better embrace that, man.

Who you want to slander, papi? How you doing, though, man? I just want to say what's up to you guys. I look at you guys every morning, man. Y'all funny, shout out to me and the guy. I got love for you, man. You keep it funky all the time, and that's a good thing. Well, thank you, sir, but this is slander to Breakfast Club, so we can't... I'm about to slander y'all, man.

I'm slander Abby because he's not embracing his waffle, man. He's not embracing that waffle. He does embrace it. He eats them all the time. I don't know. He don't hold us down, though, man. He be letting Charlotte's man bug him with that, man. I'm not Dominican, man. I'm black. You soft as pancakes, Envy.

Why you don't embrace your Dominican side, man? All right, Papi. Como esta usted. Hey, Solomon, I hear it every morning. I'm like, why you ain't embracing it, man? Just embrace it. No worries. You know you got that size behind you?

Yeah, it's almost springtime. He'll be out here with the white jeans. He'll be full-blown Dominican by summer. Como esta usted. All right, peace, Papi. What? Hasta luego. Why you calling him Papi? I don't know. D! Yo. Who you want to sl style instead. All right, peace, Papi. What? Hasta la... Why are you calling him Papi?

I don't know. D! Yo. Why you calling me Papi, bro? I didn't call you Papi. Why did you call him Papi? It wasn't for you. He definitely called you Papi, D.

This is a slander, man, because I think you're really gay, man. I really think you're gay. Wait. Because you always... What is up with y'all? You're always so sensitive, bro. Why are you so gay? Wait, now, hold on.

You're so gay. What does gay have to do with being sensitive? What's wrong with being sensitive? There ain't nothing wrong with being gay, but damn, bro. You always got to be so sensitive. Why are you so goddamn sensitive? Charlamagne, bro. Charlamagne, bro.

I love you, bro. But you look like a one-hour wallet, bro. A one-hour wallet? Yes. I'm gay, but he's not. He's not looking a water wallet. Fix everything about your face, bro. That's all I'm going to say.

And I'm going to go back there. Real talk, though. Real talk. Yo, you need to stop playing some real shit, man. Some real stuff, man. You don't get paid to play real music. Don't stop doing that, man. You know what I'm saying?

Y'all can always complain about, oh man, we tired of hearing the same stuff. He play the same whack stuff. You whack for that. You ain't got nothing for Yee? I love you, Yee. You laugh like a four-year-old little girl and you need to fix your whole laugh.

As a matter of fact, just go to Disneyland. Go to Disneyland. Experience something new for your life. Okay? I liked it. I liked it. I liked your slander this morning. Go to Disney World. Experience something new for your life, okay? I liked it. I liked it. I liked your slander this morning. It started off strong.

I don't mind laughing like a four-year-old. Ended a little weak, but it was strong. All right, bye, man. Slander the Breakfast Club. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket 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 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 gonna 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. We got some special guests in the building.

Yes, sir. Now, we all have seen Central Park 5. When They See Us. When They See Us is the name of it. I call it Central Park 5. That's what I know. And now these two young men, the story was based off of your lives. Yes, indeed.

So, Yusuf Salam and Corey Wise. Welcome, fellas. Yes, sir. Can I ask y'all brothers a question? Do y'all feel seen yet? I think now is, yeah. we're on a different plateau now. This happened to the formerly known as Central Park Five, right? But this is what's happening to black and brown people all around the globe.

That's right. And so America is this petri dish of, you know, I call it the criminal system of injustice. That's the best thing about social media and everything that's going on and creating movies and Netflix and all these outlets. I grew up in it. So I lived it and I experienced it being from Queens and we've seen it. And we've seen the effect of media

as Donald Trump took out. But then you forget about it. Like, lost it for I don't even know how many years. 20 years? 30 years? 30 years. And now the fact that it's back and now it can be documented in something that we can look at all and see how the judicial system really affects us and takes advantage of our youth. You think about how those ads that Donald Trump took out

also harmed the whole situation. Like, that should have been illegal, of him asking them to bring back the death penalty, and, you know, he still hasn't admitted that he's wrong. Not at all. But you know what's crazy about that, right? This ad, this ad was taken out two weeks after we were accused. We weren't even, we weren't, we hadn't even gone to trial yet.

And so they looked at us and said, oh, yeah, Corey looks like a rapist. Yusef looks like a rapist. Antron, Kevin, Raymond, you know what I'm saying? What do the rapists look like? Right. A black man? A black man. A person with this skin color, if they're accused, they're not accused.

They're actually the culprit. And that's the biggest problem of the criminal justice system. They look at people and automatically cast judgment. This man took out $85,000 of his own money to pay for these ads to run in New York City's newspapers. That was a lot of money then. That's a lot of money now. A lot of folks don't have $85,000 sitting in the bank. You know?

And so for him to do that, it gave a nod to everybody in darkest place of society to then think about what can we do to these guys? Pat Buchanan started writing about Corey in the papers. He said, let's take the eldest one and hang him from a tree in Central Park. Wow. Now, you look at the series, and you realize Corey wasn't even, one, he wasn't even a suspect. Right. And two, he became the magic that freed us.

He went down there for the support. He came down there for me. Right. You know? I mean, and that's such an honorable and noble thing, man. I always have this guy's back right here, man. He ended up getting more time than all of y'all, though. You know? I mean, and that's such an honorable and noble thing, man. I always have this guy's back right here, man.

He ends up getting more time than all of y'all, though. I know, of course. He did a more 14. Tell him that I go down there.

He got more time than all of y'all. I'm riding with my ass in it just with the fuck on. But it's not even anything that you anticipate could happen,

right? Because before that, you're not thinking, okay, I'm going to go down and see what's going on, and then I'm going to end up somehow getting accused

of something, because I'm sure you knew he didn't do anything wrong also. You know what the real law is? The real law is white supremacy, white male dominance. That's the only law that is recognized in America. I say it all the time. Old white men have been

the parasites of this country. They're the problem with this country. Every fucked up law even now from the abortion bill to everything, it's because of old white men. Talk about it, man. That's what it is. And that's a problem. But see, one of the most beautiful things about this

is that we survived this. He did almost 14 years. Corey, what did your parents say when you went down there and they said you had nothing to do with this, but you coming down here for your friend? What did your parents say at that time? Well, they said you had nothing to do with this but you coming down here for your friend? What did your parents say at that time?

Well, she didn't even know that I was there. She just heard that I was there. But by the time for her to catch up to me, I was already gone. On the island. I get the feeling, Corey,

that whenever you, you know, I even see you on TV and stuff, it's like, it's still hard for you to talk about this stuff. To a degree,

but at the same time, it becomes therapy to me. You guys all watched it together for the first time, right? Yeah. But that was one of the hardest things, I think, to watch because there was already the assumption that we already knew what everybody went through. I said, you know what, shoot, my time was like this. Corey's time probably was like that as well. And then when we saw it and we got an opportunity to see Corey's portrayal in this awesome film when they see us, it blew our minds. Like he was in real hell.

We was in paradise. I mean, that's how I describe it. I was in maximum A security youth facilities he was in gladiator school everybody knows Rikers Island around the globe right I mean so pretty much as I found myself

learning from the documentary up to now this would be what I was feeling from him when I was inside after having me learn it from the documentary with Trump being in there, I said,

ah, now I understand where my slugger was coming from. And that's hard. Because it was like, you know, you said one day, recently, you said, this right here was Donald Trump placing a bounty on our heads.

That's right. And all of the hell that he experienced, all of the fact that he had to fight for his life for real. You see what I'm saying? Shoot, you say that you this is life after death for you. You say that that Corey died in prison. Oh, yeah. You see what I'm saying? So even the emergence of who Corey is now is like, I've heard him say, man, he's fighting for the Corey that couldn't fight.

He's fighting for those Corys. Do you forgive everybody involved? The woman, the prostitute, the officers? People say forgiving is the best therapy or things like that. Do you forgive? No, not, no, no. Word. I'm with you.

I'm with you. I'm with you 100%. It was pretty much, as of lately, when they showed the new 30 years later, 2020, I didn't find myself looking at all the players involved. And even she didn't have nothing to do with the rest of it. All she had to do was just hear about Reyes Mateus and keep it moving. But she stuck around for the rest.

I'm talking about the victim herself. And when I found myself getting the extra from her, as far as the lawsuit and everything and from Supreme Court she was like well I feel like they the judge should have waited I said I I I I I I I this has nothing to do with you you got your little money just have nothing to do with you you already found out who violated you my state of, keep off of that. Don't get extra with that.

Because our hands are not on your dining room table. Don't put yours on ours. Damn, these people here are so prejudiced, man. You just, as far as they're concerned, in their eyes, you just belong on welfare. You stay on welfare. So long story short from that, you know, as far as all the knockouts is concerned,

I get it from the world's famous picture with Ali, and I think Sonny Lister is on there, and he was on the grill. So that's what the movie is doing to the system. It's knocking everybody out. It's knocking them out, and it's taking them out. As I find myself learning, the district attorney passed away before his 100th birthday. So I was glad that he overturned it and took it to his grave with him. Because if he ain't overturned it, it'd been about at least another 30, 40 more years for another district attorney to overturn the case.

So I was just, wow. All right, we got more with Yusuf Salam and Corey Wise. 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, if you just joined in, we're kicking it with Yusuf Salam and Corey Wise. What was the first thing you guys did when you guys got out? My my first day out i tried on all my old clothes i could still fit it i put on a triple fat she wasn't a collar it wasn't his style and my sister saw me she was like yo don't wear that it looks good but don't wear it i literally had the triple fat goose with the fur on the collar and i'm checking myself out in the mirror like man i'm gonna wear this you know what i'm saying and then i came across this right here i came across a box of letters that i had never seen before a lot of them had no return address but they were sent to us we all we all received

this stuff but then i picked up one and as i'm reading it i realized my mother had received this type of stuff while we were first arrested and she had been dealing with the prison of what it's like to be free, like be a parent and have a loved one in prison. Right. That was a hard thing.

This letter right here, just to kind of give you an idea of my reality when I came home, this letter says to Yusuf Salam, this letter is to let you know that your name has been placed on the list of enemies of society by the Citizens Army New York City branch. You made a decision when you became one of the pack that decided that Central Park was your arena and decided to attack and violate honest citizens who happen to be in the park.

Now, this is the part that's a kicker. So just remember that even 20 to 30 years from now, some of us will never forget. And maybe the one time that you don't check your back is the one time that somebody might just be there to say hello.

Wow. And so you think about where we are in the country, in the Donald Trump, this is Donald Trump's America. This is an America where... I read the rest of that? Yeah, absolutely.

That looks like this isn't a racial level. What is it then? I mean, at the rest of that? Yeah, absolutely. That looks like this isn't a racial level. Yeah, yeah. What is it then? I mean, at the end of the day, people chose sides. They've always picked sides. And we've been the ones that they've already said, you know what? We're expendable. Absolutely.

I thought you were a mutant animal with no conscience. But this was sent to all of us. Now, Corey, what was the first thing that you did when you got home? I found a roof over my? Try to find a roof over my head. Try to find a roof over my head and just pretty much

from there, just try to find me. Went to my mother and went from there, went to my brothers. My brothers are on my brother's spot uptown. He couldn't deal with me. I was just scrambling. town. He couldn't deal with me.

I was just scrambling. You said he couldn't deal with you because you still had that jail mentality. Could have been. He's just not used to having a kid around him. I don't even know. I'm hammering, but as

I was hammering all the negative coming from him, it was just building me up. Okay, some way, somehow, I got you. And, you know, I just... There's... It was rough. It was rough for me to get where I'm at today.

You took a lot of loss in prison, too, right, Corey? You lost your assistant and the girlfriend, right? They both died. Did you ever get a chance to your assistant and the girlfriend, right? Yeah. They both died. Yeah. Did you ever get a chance to properly grieve either one of them?

No. You know, I guess my only way of grieving would be just watching a movie. Mm. That's why I don't watch it like that. So when I do watch it, it becomes brand new to me.

And then when it becomes brand new to me, it makes me want to look at my brother's head and just punch him in the shoulder. I mean, but that's real talk. Because at the end of the day, his pain came from the decision

that he made to come down to be my ace in the hole. Right. Like, you know, not understanding anything about the law, a lot of times now, if we see somebody being arrested or something like that,

we like, yo, we know our rights. You know, we start talking to the cops. But Miranda says you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law if you fail to remain silent. And so not even not even being wise enough to understand the chess move that was being played on us. You see what i'm saying right and i and it's so crazy for me because i feel so um i'm i'm this is my brother and i'm indebted to him in a way that is indescribable right because not only did he make the decision to come down but when you see the when you see the series,

you realize that people aren't built the way he was built and still is built, right? They came to get him at one point. He's in his cell and they said, hey, man, get ready. We're going to your parole hearing. And he's like, no, I'm not going. They're like, you're not going. He said, no, if they don't want to hear my truth,

I don't want to waste my time. Like, imagine if he. He said, nah, if they don't want to hear my truth, I don't want to waste my time. Like, imagine if he would have said, let me just say anything to get out of here. Right. The story never would have been told. We'd have still had this cloud of suspicion over our heads. He bumped into the real dude that did it. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I look at it from a more spiritual perspective that everybody that was supposed to be players in this was in the right position. When you bumped into that dude, what was your mentality then? Because it had to be, I'm going to kill this. If you kill him, you won't be able to confess. But that got to be the first thing that's on your mind. Like, you got me here. I came across Reyes when I was sitting in the day room watching TV on the island.

He came through. He was beginning to talk about his rap sheet, what he did. So I'm looking at him, and I recognized a few other officers that was behind him. And I'm like, you know, the thought came to me one time,

could he have something to do with this hair? But that was it until we fought. We fought in the day room about TV. Because I was about to watch Video Music Box at the time. Ralph McDaniels. There you go. And we fought. Nice to have a scarf from him.

Thank you, Reyes. And long story short, I had a quarter to him upstate in Auburn. I guess rumor got to him. Wise is in the area. He's in Auburn. I guess rumor got to him. Wise is in the area. He's in the building. So Reyes sees me on the basketball court. He comes my way. So when he comes my way, he goes, you Wise?

I said, who want to know? It's me. It's 13 years later, by the way. So I'm like, oh. So he's just talking. Wow, you still got the score on your face. So he's still talking to me. you still got the scar on your face. So he's still talking to me. So you can say about the next day,

I had went to breakfast. It was a heavy gray cloud in the mess hall. Everybody was looking at each other, but more so, it felt like 90% looking at me. So I'm going to grab my breakfast and get out of here because I ain't trying to eat no down here. You walked in the chaplain's office.

I said, huh? So I went down. It was my mom. Picked it up. And she was just hysterical. I'm like, what's up? She said, you know, the guy who you ran,

that ran into you up there where you at, he loved you so much he cleared your name. I said, huh? He cleared your name. I said, huh? He cleared your name. I said, okay. And it was just good.

He said, how you want to do this? I said, I'm ready to come home or whatever. So I had to come home on parole. So I came home on parole. It was just good. It was just a beautiful feeling. Right. All right, we got more with Yusuf Salam and Corey Wise

when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast feeling. Right. All right, we got more with Yusuf Salaam and Corey Wise. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined in, we're kicking it with Yusuf Salaam and Corey Wise.

Charlamagne, how did it was the picture of the story change your life this far? I think in a good way because she was able to take this story that all of the negative players, meaning like the system, she was able to take the story and turn it inside out so that people can see the humanized version of us. To understand what was really at stake. That we didn't deserve that. That we literally had a huge chunk of our lives taken away from us and a lot of us do and here we came back and we were able to survive somehow you know a lot of us didn't know the details either right and the details was the stuff that they didn't want you

to know on purpose because they wanted people to think just like the jogger right they wanted everybody to think including the jogger that they had They wanted everybody to think, including the jogger, that they had done their job. Right. Case closed. We solved this case. Right. But they were so invested with this case.

And here it is. All of our families, all of the people that were supporting us, was like, you got the wrong guys. These guys didn't do it. You had Kevin Richardson, who was picked up that night with Raymond Santana. No forensic. I mean, they had Kevin Richardson who was picked up that night with Raymond Santana no forensic I mean they had Kevin saying that she scratched him right there's no forensic evidence underneath her fingernails like no skin from Kevin is underneath her fingernails there's no evidence

that anybody was in the park near this woman but yeah you're painting this picture like you got the right people and because they got stuck with that lie, there could have been a young pregnant Latina woman who was his next victim. She could have been alive today. Absolutely. Her unborn child could have been alive today. Absolutely.

That's why I never understood. I'm like, wouldn't it benefit the community for you to actually go get the right person? Exactly. Instead of any person? But this is America. This is how the justice system always operates. You know what I'm saying? And if they do get the right

person, right? The right person. I mean, if you happen to have a name like Dylann Roof, right? And they come and get you. You get some Burger King. They take you to Burger King. You know, they catch you alive. Right. And the crazy thing is that he would have never confessed, right? If Reyes

would have never said it was him, you guys' names might never have been cleared. And you got to think how many people are still in that situation who didn't commit a crime in jail. And then it's not even just once you get out, you have that record, but people really believe that you are a rapist. Yeah. If Reyes wouldn't have had Governor Pataki at that time,

his state of mind was for his parole board. If this guy here don't comply with his programs, the parole board was allowed to hit you past your max. I said, huh? So anybody that had a serious case going on and they had refused to special program it, the parole board just had to hit you past your max. I came in there with five to 15, so my time would have been 15 and life.

They raised me on the other side. That's the crazy part. And then you got out and was still on parole. Yeah. Even though... When I came on parole, they was thinking about throwing the ankle bracelet on me. And they said, I think we did, I think we did hit something on, on the radius coming forward.

So, we won't, we won't let that, we won't just leave that alone for now. No, we ain't gonna give you no brace today.

Just, every two weeks, just come through until we tell you not to come through no more. That's all right. I'm looking at all

them letters, man. Somebody said they wanted to castrate you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. When did, did that ever stop? That hate mail?

I think it changed. I mean, I feel like there's a lot more supporters now than there were back then. Even when we came home from prison. It wasn't popular to be one of us. We took that Central Park jogger brand and we rose to the occasion and was like, yeah, we're one of them.

You know what I'm saying? And so we took it and made it like a cape for us. You know, a superpower superpower whereas there was a lot of folks who even to this day i'm telling people about donald trump and they're like nah he's not like that your eyes you your eyes are lying to you because we've seen all kind of other stuff that has been going on but this right here he did this yeah and in here he he says something like, and this is kind of like, after you read the bulk of it, he says, criminals must be told that there's civil liberties in when attack on our safety begins. If through the 13th Amendment, they're looking at black and brown folks, it clearly states that we can turn you back to a slave for the punishment of crime.

And so if they're looking at black and brown folks as the criminal element, then who is he talking about? The R, civil liberties, is the constituents that don't look like us. What would you say to Linda Fairstein now, if you could say something to her, for her to hear?

I guess I would just say basically thank you for saving my life. I don't know how my life would have turned out. You know what I mean? What do you mean by that? Because she put me in a bad situation. And at the same time, me being a kid, I don't know how my life would have turned out.

I would have graduated from high school, college, work. I guess she just put easy money in my pocket. But I'm messing up. Yeah, but she took away a lot of your life, my friend. You know what I mean? There's no price on that. When I spoke before and I said we were all placed in this case on purpose, the beautiful thing about this is that for us to be survivors,

for us to realize that we have comeback power, that we came back from sudden death. You know what I'm saying? You look at a person like Linda Fairstein and you realize she, Elizabeth Lederer, the officers that were involved, the media that wrote the story in a way that made sure that the public opinion was swayed to make sure we got convicted all of those people were working for evil yes without even realizing it like you here you are you're trying to get ahead in life like in the series uh one of the attorneys comes to linda ferristein and says you know can you at least give them a fighting chance right and she says this is not about law anymore. This is about politics. So they're talking about whether you live or die. They're talking about building their careers off of our backs. What I want people to understand is that look at where we are now, 30 years later,

nobody would have ever thought that this truth would have came out and that everybody else that was involved, not only are we trying to find out what went wrong with the Central Park jogger case, but we're trying to figure out what other cases did they did they do this to as well? That's the collateral effect of this. All right. Well, we appreciate you guys so much for coming through because that was an incredible series.

Go to a young woman named Tijah Russell. Tijah is 29 years old, and she's from the great state of New Jersey. Drop on the clues box for New Jersey, damn it. Now, before we talk about Tijah, let me ask y'all a question out there. When the last time you got stood up? When is the last time you told someone you wanted to take them out and didn't show up?

When is the last time you told someone to come over and you fell asleep on their ass? I have homeboys now who are not married, not in a committed relationship, not part of this faithful black male community, and they tell me stories like this all the time, especially when we out of town. Women come to

the hotel and be downstairs in the lobby for hours because said individual has fallen asleep on their ass. Every time I hear stories like this, I feel for those women, because to me, this is a different level of disrespect. All right. If a man calls you over and tells you that he fell asleep on you, he's either a lying because he was going through his phone and decided to call a couple of different chicks

and whoever got there first is who he's with. Hence why he is not answering for you. RB, you just don't excite him like that, okay? You're not falling asleep on a woman you are really excited to see. In fact, that adrenaline rush you get from seeing or being around a woman you're into is going to wake your ass up, all right? You got a woman coming over, you get excited, all right? You think you're going to get some ass, so you go hop your ass in the shower, and that shower going to wake you up.

Then you're going to lotion up, throw on some basketball shorts and a fresh T-shirt, spray some cologne on, roll up something, smoke, pour you a glass of something, and wait for the young lady you called over to arrive. Okay? I fell asleep. You fell asleep? How boring was your box that the thought of you coming over puts a man to sleep, all right? So yes, ladies, you should feel extremely disrespected when you come to see

a man and he tells you, I fell asleep. You wouldn't feel disrespected, G, if that happened to you? Yeah, I'd be annoyed that I came out of my way. And that's exactly what happened to Taja M. Russell. Now, according to the New York Daily News, Taja was the side chick, all right? That's the New York Daily News words, not mine. All right? Taja was this young man. She was visiting side chick. And the young man told authorities that he asked Russell to come to his house for sex.

But he fell asleep before she arrived. Just respectful. When Taja got to the man's house, she called him eight times. Eight times. But he didn't pick up. After eight phone calls, she allegedly texted the man, I see you want to die. Yes.

Followed by, you wasted my money to come out of here. And then around 4 a.m., security cameras saw Maja knocking on this young man's door, and he still didn't answer. So, ladies, when this is over, rewind and listen to what I said about a man disrespecting you. The level of disrespect this young woman, Taja, received is four in the morning. You got there and called eight times. You knocked on his door and he igging the hell out of you. Not to mention you already his side chick.

What else is there to do, especially after you sent him the I see you want to die text. Well, you got to attempt to kill him. Let's go to News 12, New Jersey to see how Taja and Russell handled this situation. A woman is accused of setting a man's home on fire after she was invited over for a late night rendezvous. Police say this month, 29-year-old Tasia Russell went to the home on Barber Avenue. NorthJersey.com reports the man fell asleep, did not answer the door. They say that's when Russell set the home on fire.

The man was taken to the hospital with burns and smoke inhalation. Tasia was determined to have a hot date. All right, remember when I told you that if a man falls asleep on you before you get there, that means the thought of your poom-poom makes him sleepy? You out there giving out that boring-ass box? Well, I think Tasia realized that in her mind, and she was not leaving that house that night without the word fire coming out of that man's mouth.

She wanted that word to be used to describe her vagina, but she didn't get that opportunity, so she decided to set his crib ablaze. Okay, I'm going to be honest with you. Other than her having an arson charge and an attempted murder charge and being held without bail, I kind of feel him. All right, see, let this be a lesson to you fools.

All right, stop standing women up like that after you done wasted their time, energy, and money to come see you. All right, it's disrespectful and just not right. But ladies, don't be like Taja. When a man doesn't value you, doesn't appreciate Stands you up Don't do what Taja did Even though it hurts not to react Alright, don't do what Taja did See, I know you really want to work this out

But I don't think this man is ever going to change Alright, when you do but they don't I just think it's best you go your separate ways Alright, sometimes you have to ask yourself Why should I stay in this relationship? When you're hurting, baby You ain't happy, baby Plus, there's just so many other things you got to ask yourself, why should I stay in this relationship? When you're hurting, baby, you ain't happy, baby. Plus, there's just so many other things you got to deal with. So I just think that you should let it burn.

All right? Please let Remy Ma give Taja Russell the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. I might put something on her books. Wow. I might just buy some M&M's or something, some peanut M&M's or something. You dumb. I might put something on her books. I might. I might just buy some

M&M's or something. Some peanut M&M's or something. My goodness. I feel her pain a little bit. Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now. It was very literal and true to her words. Word of the month. That's what you get for having her hot ass out at 4 in the morning. Alright. We got more coming up next. We're the Breakfast

Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ MV Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Shante Wayans. Welcome. Hey, what's up? Thank you for having me, man.

How are you? How has your life changed since They Ready, comedy special hit Netflix? Man, finally getting recognized. And, you know, it's just been amazing. I opened up a lot of doors, a lot of opportunities. My tour is starting,

you know, trying to develop some stuff. And my fan base has grown so much. Tiffany Haddish handpicked all the comedians on there. So what's your relationship

with Tiffany Haddish that she said, okay, she's dope. I got to get her on. I mean, Tiffany and I, we've been friends for over, like, I want to say like 12 years. And, you know, the beauty about Tiffany and our circle

was we didn't have beef like that. You know, a lot of times, like, you know, people feel competitive and so forth and so on. So Tiffany and I, it was just always that relationship where it was like, yo, game's open for everybody and we want everybody to win. Now, with the last name Wayans, do you have a lot of pressure being a comedian?

I mean, of course. You know what I'm saying? It's been like my whole life with that, but that's why I tried to take the journey of just trying to make a name for myself and not use that last name to, you know, put me where I'm at now. What's wrong with nepotism, though?

Nothing, but I just had a problem with it. You know what I'm saying? I just always, it's like that search for identity, you know? It's the way people treat you, you know? Because stuff wasn't really working out for me. Like, people would be like, yo, just go to the club and be like, you Shante Waze. And I'd be like, I'm Shante Waze. They'd be like, so?

So, you know, only if they was there would it, like, really work out for me. You said sometimes they'll be like, Shante, we got this role for you, but we just need you to get... We just need you to show some d***s, you know? Some words. Can I say it? Well, you know, you just got a lot of... Show some d***s. I was gonna say we need you to get Damon Wayans. I thought it was a little bit of a fit. That's what I thought.

I didn't know that. I thought your family be asking you to show d***s. No, no, no. I thought you was talking about, like, the people in the networks and stuff like that. That was a setup. That was a setup. That was one of your jokes. I didn't catch it either.

I should have let her finish the sentence. Who asked you to show me? You get it. Those are the things I was getting to. It's like, you know, if you want more roles and so on and so on, you got to be sexy. You know what I mean? Go in there and show your stuff because that's what people was into.

Oh, we're glad. And I hope that the industry is changing now. I mean, yeah, with Lena. And they're still not just saying, show me your tits for real. No, no, no. It's just, you know. I mean, I literally, like, I went to do CBS Diversity. And I had, you know, I had this agent that was just like, girl, you need to do this.

You need to dress up. And I went in there. And the crazy thing was, like, I knew a lot of people in there. So they can see the uncomfortability. I'm just sitting here with this somewhat cleavage. And it was just so. You had a dress on, but you were still like. I had my boy pants on and I tried to show like this.

Give them a little something. But then knowing people you like, you know, it's uncomfortable. Now for Christmas and Thanksgiving, right, when you have family dinners, do you gotta prepare yourself for family dinners? Like, I gotta write this because I know they're gonna get at me and I gotta get at them back. Does it work like that? You don't know what you're gonna get. You know what I'm saying? You're just gonna get a lot of different octaves

of laughter and people like trying to one-up each other. That's what's dope about those type of things. Even my grandma would try to chime in on certain things. But if you bomb, that's been like our best open mic. Because if you bomb, everybody on that block going to hear that laugh. Right. That sounds like a special right there.

Yeah. Thanksgiving with the Wains. Right, right, right. Where do you land with the Wains? Like how are you with Wains? Like what are you? So my mom is a sister. Okay. You know, what are you? So my mom is a sister. Okay.

You know, it's 10 kids. My mom is a sister. A sister of Kenan and David. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotcha. But yeah, that's why. I'm your uncles and aunts. Yeah.

All right, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you ever want to do anything else, though, just because of the pressure of being a star in the entertainment world? I actually didn't want to be in this industry until I moved out to California. So I was into computers. I tried to go to Seton Hall for computer science. And then I just felt like I was taking another year of high school.

And I was like, I'm out. So I went to Cali and was able to find computer work in there and working on the sets and stuff like that. And then I found comedy and fell in love. Now, you said you came out the poor side. I did come out the poor side. What is the poor side of the Wayans family? Poor side means... There's no poor side. No, no found comedy and fell in love. Now, you said you came out the poor side. I did come out the poor side. What is the poor side of the Wayans family? Poor side means... There's no poor side.

No, no, no. It's struggle. You got to understand, it's a huge family. So it's not like poor where we was like, you know, trying to scrape up stuff, but we lived in the project still, or you know what I'm saying? Like, I got a car for graduation, but we didn't move out to a mansion. You know what I mean? So it's like, I just had a nice car in front of the projects.

But didn't all of the Williams come from like We all came from the projects. But you know, it's just, listen, it's a big family. They got kids. They did a lot of stuff for us. They gave us work. They did all that stuff. But everybody didn't have that type of money. So it wasn't one of those things

but one of them make it, everybody make it. It's a lot of people. No, no, no. She still got a one of them make it, everybody make it. It's a lot of people. No, no, no. She still got a car for graduation. Right, right, right. No. What kind of car? Doors.

Back in the day, look, you right. It was a Ford Explorer. That's nice. It was actually new. New and used. No, new. Brand new. Brand new came in.

It was, you know, in the yard and stuff like that. But, yeah, no. It's not one doesn't you know one makes it everybody it's like you have to also want this this industry this all this stuff so wherever position they try to put you in you still have to move forward and you know not everybody was um you know wanting to be a part of this world or you know so on and so on you've been in some movies too i have you know i had uh you know i had a little cameo in Fifty Shades.

You know, I said, bitch, you smell like s***. That was my line in that. Bitch, you smell like s***. That was my line. That be the hardest thing, though. Like, I went and auditioned for that. And, you know, I auditioned in front of my uncle. And I was supposed to.

How old were you? Oh, shoot. When did that come out, man? Don't tell. I ain't gonna tell you my age. Well, you had a 40th floor and that was a dope card in, so. Yeah, yeah. We all in the same age bracket, I'm assuming.

No, no, you right, you right, you right. No, no, no. So you was young saying, bitch, you smell like s***. No, no, no, no, no. I was probably like maybe late. 30s? No, shut up. I was late 20s, late 20s.

Okay. But yeah, I was late 20s. Late 20s. But yeah, I went and auditioned. I went in with a skirt and all this stuff. Because we went in for a big part. What was the girl's name? Jenny got the part. But I went in. I did all this stuff. My uncle was like, you did good. You did good. Did I get it? He was like, I got something

else for you. How long did it take you to learn that line? I was trying to make the best of that line. So I literally was sitting there like, did I get it? He was like, I got something else for you. How long did it take you to learn that line? I was trying to make the best of that line. So I literally was sitting there like how many ways, how many, you know, it's like also trying to stay in the camera. You don't even have to say nothing as long. I was like trying to lean on Kelly's shoulder.

And they just kept going, Shante, could you just step 15 steps to the right? So yeah. Do you tell them when anything's whack? Like, are you okay to be like, that movie wasn't it? Or, you know,

I watched a stand-up that didn't hit like that. Definitely. I mean, you know, us being on the road, you know, and stuff like that too was, you know,

you go back and forth with that. But I think, I think it's always different when you know people. You know what I'm saying? So you,

we know our humor, and we know where we're trying to go with it. And so I think we're honest. We're very honest with each other, but we also have a different type of humor that we just get instead of, you know. What'd they say about your special when they saw it? They loved it.

They liked it. They said, you know, Uncle D hit me up and said, you know, I thought it was a good representation of, you know, that, and you spoke your truth. And, you know, I'm proud of you. And pretty much everybody said that. One of my uncles tried to give me punch-ups. I was like, I shot the special already.

Tried to get you punch-ups? Punch-ups, yeah. He was like, you know what you can do with this joke. I said, it's already over. Which I'm going to do with Keenan. Nah, Keenan's just dope, though. Like, I literally was like, why wasn't I coming around you a long time ago to get these punch-ups? Because he's freaking brilliant.

It's interesting when you have that ecosystem of successful people, though, because you can lean on them. But then on the other side, you feel like, I want to do it myself. Yeah. You feel like, I guess, you're with them, so to speak. Like, they respect you more, I guess. Well, my family is very much like that. They want you to work, you know, and they want to see that you want it. Alright, we got more with comedian

Shante Wayans when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with comedian Shante Wayans. Yee. You said you almost slept with a man by accident on the special, too.

Oh, yeah. Well, you know. She should have just. My goodness. Jesus Christ, Yee. What is wrong? You should have started with on the special. Right. You said.

Yeesh. Why can't I say it in my order? You almost slept with a man by accident. Like, what? That was my drinking thing. You know, when I'm drinking, I get really flirtatious. And I want kids. So, I mean, I literally sit here and wonder, like, do I want to spend $30,000, $40,000,

or can I just take it real quick for the team because I already had it? That's a good business mind. That goes to the college funds of my kids. I'm not mad at that. Thank you. Thank you. No, but I wasn't having sex. I wasn't having sex with dudes, but I would go up to them and be like,

you handsome, like in my hoodie and stuff to them and be like, you handsome. Like, in my hoodie and stuff. I'd be like, you really handsome. They're like, you don't get your boy ass away from me. Right. Get off of me.

Did people ever be like, man, she ain't really, she not really a lesbian. She just acting like that. You know, all dudes think that. It's that one stud they caught on Worldstar.

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

Now you got every dude thinking they got a shot. Thanks. She said on the special too that I was trying to f*** her out and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

Yeah, I love how you... All this out of context is so crazy. I'm not a comedian. She got a job. Because we went from talking about smashing a boy and now you just said you were trying to f*** her out. Because we went from talking about smashing the boy. Now you just said you was trying to **** out.

No, no, no. So the joke is that, you know, I turn straight. I said, I remember waking up cuddling with this dude. And he's like, oh, you don't remember last night? And I was like, no wonder it felt weird trying to **** you out. Oh. So that's what she was trying to. You know what the joke is.

You the one that get on there. You know what the joke's in. You bad with it, boy. You the one that get on there. You the egg. I'm trying. You the egg on social media that take that. Do you stay away from anything on your show when you do comedy? Is there anything? Because the world is sensitive now.

She just thought you was trying to eat his ass up. By the way, you can though. No, she didn't. No, you didn't. You said what? You eating his ass up. Eat the booty game? Eat his ass.

That's all. Man, I'm not eating no dude's ass. That sound wild. As soon as I said I ate his ass, I ate his mouth. I like to eat it out better because I still feel partially gay. You know what I mean? It's like. We call it boy box.

Yeah, boy box. Yeah, I can't eat no boy's, no booty. I'll be looking at women sometimes like we got to get it together. So I can imagine a man's butt. Right. Cause that always smell worse somehow.

Yeah. Did you, you ever done it, Andrew? No, I'm not a butt eater. I attempted it, it just,

but you know what else? I don't like my butt ate, so I think because I don't like it. I get my butt ate, but you can't kiss me after. You see how small it is? You can't kiss me after.

It does tickle just a little bit. Wait, they can't kiss you after? No. Well, what kind? You can't kiss me after. It does tickle just a little bit. Wait, they can't kiss you after? No. Well, what kind of incentive is that? What do you mean? So now somebody eats your...

Now y'all can't even kiss? All right, maybe after I ejaculate, then they can do it this way and don't have to go back into kissing. You're not ejaculating your... No, I'm talking about after I... I'm not messing with you anymore. I'm just sitting here amused by this.

So go ahead. And how do you tell a woman if she eats your... and she's waiting for you to do her, how do you say no? Listen, the real thing is when sex goes down,

we all do stuff that we probably won't mention. Right. My soulmate's a butt. He talks about how much he's butt. No, that's... I mean, that's cool. Yeah, you my wife's butt

all the time. Well, that's your wife, though. You're supposed to eat every crevice. Well, he's not randomly eating butt. No, I mean, that's cool. You my wife all the time. Well, that's your wife, though. You're supposed to eat every crevice. He's not randomly eating butt. Yeah, I ain't eating random ass. No, but that's what I'm saying. Like, if you just you remember the whole eat the booty gang? Yeah, one time for Trick Daddy. Yeah, if you got the whole, if you doing

it like that, then that's something different. Because I feel like. Just running around eating random. I just, I mean, and I like going down. So if I fell in love with eating booty, yeah. So basically, you ain't found that one yet.

This microphone need to be changed. You ain't found the one yet. I'm f***ing booty before. Oh, okay, okay. Yes. So she's the one then? We not together anymore. Hey.

So that's why I'm very particular about my butt eating. Yeah. Because people use that as a way to get at you. You know what I'm saying? You can't eat my ass.

So this is going to be a girl that pops up and be like, she ate my booty, she's talking about me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably like two, three of them.

We're not going to talk about that. We're not going to talk about that. Ain't that the worst when you start popping? Now everybody want to talk about what you used to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's going to come out

in the interview like, what? Shante ate my booty. I'm going to get out at the interview like a... Oh, my goodness. Shante ate my... I'm going to get a... I was trying to think of a better word than me. A whole shade room post. Yeah, bitch.

Shante ate my... Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. I love it, though. So what else is coming up next for you? Now, after the special and going on,

so you have the tour. Yeah, I'm doing a house arrest tour, which we got a show out here September 26th at the Gotham Comedy Club. Who's on house arrest? Well, me. It's part of my thing because I don't really like going

outside and stuff like that. I'm a homebody, plus too much stuff is going on in the world. You got super things. I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do. It's so much energy outside that I need to come home and feel like I'm at peace, and that's like my safe haven. How are you a comedian and don't like to go out?

Why you got to go out? I feel like you got to go to comedy club. You got to see the world. For what? That's the problem with people. Everybody gets all these. No, no, no, no, no. People, I'm in this phase of my life where I'm trying to heal myself

and get my stuff together. And I've learned that if I live the way, everything that's happening to me right now has been based on how I changed my life and my patterns.

So I don't have to go out seven days a week. I can go out four days and I need a day or two to myself and maybe for the chick that I might be talking to. So all, you know what I mean?

But you need that. Come down. Gotcha. What else are you doing to help you heal? In therapy? No, not therapy. I just. Gotcha. What else are you doing to help you heal? In therapy? No, not therapy. I just, I'm doing stuff like I just met my dad for the first time.

Wow. In May. And that was like years of me just having, being angry and, you know, feeling all this stuff. And so I met him and it turned out to be an amazing time. How did that happen? Well, you know, I got drunk and I called him and all of a sudden the next day he was like, I booked my plane ticket and I was like,

what plane ticket? And he came out and he stayed for two weeks on my studio in my studio apartment. And yeah, it just worked out. Well, he called me on my birthday, didn't say happy birthday, but then he came and baked me a cake, even though he spelled my name wrong.

It was like seeing all these things of him trying. Right, right, right. It felt really good. Did y'all hash out all your differences, like why he wasn't there? That's what's dope about him. I literally was asked. I filmed it. I had a little vlog that I did, but I haven't edited it yet.

But I literally was able to ask him, like, yo, what was up with why you do that to my mom? And he was like, yo, your mom's beautiful, but, you know, them hoes is out there. I was like, I feel you. I feel you. He got light eyes, you know. He had the curly curls and stuff like that back in the day, so, you know, it was

dope for him to be honest and try. What did your mom think about all that? You know, my mom is all for me trying to better myself. You know, to be honest, I've witnessed, like, abusive, you know, her being in abusive relationships and stuff like that. So to even hear that my dad didn't do that was kind of, like, already an opening of, like, relief, you know.

So she's excited. She's happy for me and, you know? So she's excited. She's happy for me. And, you know. Was it painful? No, I really feel like everything happens for a reason. And the fact that I got to see him before he passed and, you know, get that together, I'm happy. I know your uncle's probably like, yeah, f*** that.

No, they like, yo, you got a whole new 15, 20 minutes right there. Everything becomes a joke. It doesn't even matter, man. Like, that's new material I get to work on. It's hilarious. This dude, he was, like, taking me to get ice cream in the park. He was, like, trying to relive all these years. You're a grown-ass woman.

I'm a grown-ass woman. I was in that swing. I was like, you got me. Grown-ass dude. It was all love for me. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. It's Shante Wayans. Make sure you watch.

She's going a little crazy and my shit's in the other way or something. It curves back or to the left or to the right? To the left. That's why you wrote that song. To the left, to the left. Oh, no.

Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
