but today we just want to give you guys some money.
Let's be clear on that, though, because a lot of people may be new to The Breakfast Club.
We've been doing this for a few years.
It's usually a 24-hour radio time where the Breakfast Club stays on for 24 hours.
And, you know, we call up, you know, everybody from, you know, our industry folk to athletes,
you know, people that listen to us every day.
They donate, and we usually take this big lump of money and just give it to one organization.
Correct.

Project 375.

To random people.
And we have, let's go to line one.
What's her name?
Jerrica.
Jerrica, good morning.
Good morning. Peace, Jerrica. I love the name Jerrica. I's her name? Jerrica. Jerrica, good morning. Good morning.
Peace, Jerrica. I love the name Jerrica. I got a homegirl
in Chicago named Jerrica. I've always liked that name.
It's just a dope name for some reason. Jerrica.
Now, Jerrica's from Memphis.
Shout out to our family at K97.
Now, what's going on, Jerrica? Tell us
your story, mama. What's going on in your life?
Hello, my name is Jerrica.
I'm 21 years old. I'm from
Memphis, Tennessee, of course.
And I really wanted to enter this contest because I thought it was a great opportunity to actually just recognize my business.
I've been working so hard. I go to Paul Mitchell School, Memphis. It's a cosmetology school.
I've been working really hard, busting my butt, trying to start my own business.
The Wigging Out by J. Monet Collection is targeting women and kids who suffer from hair loss conditions and diseases such as alopecia.
Kids who have cancer, women who have cancer, or even the women and kids that's recovering, you know, and gaining their hair back from their chemotherapy.
You know, it's people like that that want affordable, quality wigs.
And, you know, I actually worked in a breeding supply, and I met a lot of women and kids who suffer from hair loss conditions.
And most of them, you know, they were ashamed.
And the reason that this project is so important, as well as personal, since I was six, I, too, have suffered from the condition called alopecia.
And it's very, very rare, but it's vicious, you know.
And growing up where I'm from, you know, it's easy to get picked on.
It's easy to lose your confidence.
And like I was saying, you know, it's easy to customize wigs for people that have that confidence.
You know, you see it all the time on Instagram.
The ladies, the Instagram influencers who get their wigs up, but it's different when you have to customize the wigs, you know, for the people who
are actually dependent on that wig
for that confidence that they don't have.
You know what I'm saying? So let me get this.
So you're a single mom, you have a two-year-old.
You're trying to get your business
off the ground, but it's challenging because you
got to work, so... I respect what you're doing, too,
Jerrica, only because, like... You want us to bless you
so you can bless others. That's right.
Thank you. And I respect what you're doing because, you know, like... You want us to bless you so you can bless others. That's right. Thank you.
And I respect what you're doing because, you know,
I love the fact that you went to Paul Mitchell School because there's a lot of cosmetically challenged people out here.
You know what I mean?
And you are helping them out tremendously.
How much do you need, mama?
Honestly, I'm going to be modest, y'all.
Honestly, I'm looking at, like, $10,000.
Jerrica?
Yeah.
Now, we looked in the pot.
So, we got to spread the love around this morning.
We can do 10% of $10,000.
Okay?
We ain't got that much now, Jerrica.
We got $1,000.
We got a rack for you.
We're just going to stack your way.
Is that good?
Is that a start?
I am happy with that.
Trust me.
Okay.
We're now $9,000 away from your goal.
All right.
Good luck.
Make the GoFundMe a lot easier.
Okay?
But we're going to give you a rack.
All right?
Okay.
I'm so excited.
Thank you, Breakfast Club.
Thank you, Jerrica.
All right.
Well, 800-585-1051.
We're going to take more of your calls and give out some more money.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Yep. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy.
Listen, man, we doing Change for Change.
Now, if you're just joining us, if you're new to The Breakfast Club,
Change for Change is something that we do every year around this time.
We've been doing it for the past few years.
First year, we raised over $800,000 for the Gathering for Justice movement.
The year after that, like a quarter million dollars for Brandon Marshall's Mental Health Initiative Project 375.
The year after that, last year, we raised $800,000 plus for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
Now, we know things have been rough for people this year, so to be asking y'all to donate money felt kind of stupid.
It felt ridiculous. So what we did was shake down a few corporations to get a bag,
and we're giving away that bag of money all morning.
Because y'all are always calling up here, giving us your cash apps
and telling us y'all need a little change for something.
So we have it for you.
Now, we got Sharma on the phone.
Hey, Sharma.
Hey, Sharma.
What's up, girl?
Good morning.
Sharma.
Sharma from Miami.
The 305.
That's right.
All the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
How crazy are you on a scale of one to gunplay?
How crazy are you?
Probably gunplay.
Now, Sharma, tell us what you've been doing during this pandemic.
Well, I work at a vitamin, a couple of their shops.
So kind of been keeping America healthy, you know,
making sure they have all those immune builders.
It's been a struggle to kind of, you know, pay the rent, you know,
cars, all that kind of stuff.
So how much would you need for your rent and for your car?
How much would you think you need to kind of get things
back on track?
Like
$3,000. I'm a little behind.
Charlamagne.
How much you need? $3,000.
$3,000. What y'all gonna do?
Let me consult with some people. Tell Eddie to come here real quick.
Hold on one second.
Hold on. Let's see what we can do. Hold on.
Hold on.
Give it to him.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
We've had a conversation behind the scenes.
We had to check the piggy bank just to make sure.
Sharma.
Congratulations.
We are giving you $3,000 from the Breakfast Club.
Happy holidays.
We had to make sure we had it.
We had to check the piggy bank.
We had to go to the scraps.
And we pulled it out for you. That's all. We got it for you, Sharma. So $3,000 for you. Sharma, tell them we had it. We had to check the piggy bank. We had to go to the scraps. And we pulled it out for you.
That's all.
We got it for you, Sharma.
So $3,000 for you.
Sharma, tell them they got it.
They got it.
They got it.
Well, Sharma, congratulations.
I don't like that little evil laugh you're doing, Sharma.
You make me think that you're Weed Man about to be a very happy camper.
I'm sorry.
I snuck away from work to answer the call.
Well, good.
Sharma, think of yourself right now.
I should have said $20,000.
I'm sorry. My bad. I'm kicking myself. But, good. Sharma, think of yourself right now. I should have said $20,000. I'm sorry.
My bad.
I'm kicking myself, but that's okay.
I'm greedy.
I just don't need me to get by.
We had that anyway.
But, Sharma, we appreciate you.
Pay your rent.
Save your car.
And good luck, all right?
Thank you so much for being an essential worker.
Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Bye-bye.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling
apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own
country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's
surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 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 owned 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.

The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy.
We're doing Change for Change.
We're doing Change for Change different this year.
If you're new to The Breakfast Club, Change for Change is something that we do every year, same day, same time.
And we've raised over $1.7 million for three different organizations over the past few years,
the Gathering for Justice Movement, Brandon Marshall's 357 Movement,
and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
But this year didn't feel right to have people, you know, call up donating money for us to give to one organization
because we know everybody out there is having some financial struggles.
So we decided to shake down some of these corporations, get a bag from them, and then
just give the bag to y'all.
Yes.
And, you know, normally we do do rumor report here, but today we just thought it was important
to make sure that we spend all this time giving away this money that we've gotten from these
organizations.
So I think we have someone on the line right now who we're about to bless.
Candace. Candace.
Candace Banks.
Hey, boo.
Candace got money in the banks.
Y'all calm down.
Candace, good morning.
How are you, Candace?
Good morning.
Y'all got me excited at work.
We got you what at work?
Y'all got me excited at work.
Okay.
Charlamagne excited at work all the time.
So, you know, it's change for change and you did send in your story,
right? Yeah. So,
what's your story, Mama?
It's just basically like
me and my
mom was going through this little
phase that we had and
you know, it's like bills
you know, kind of piled
on top of each other, you know, and
now it's like we well, I'm going from, you know, kind of piled on top of each other, you know, and now it's like we, well, I'm going from, you know,
check to check to try to get everything back together.
So it's slowly working.
Let me read what you sent us.
You said, hi, my name is Candace Banks,
and the reason I need help is to pay some bills off.
Before the pandemic, I was working 40 hours a week.
Since the pandemic, I'm only working 20 hours a week.
So the check that I receive, I have to manage buying food,
getting gas to go to work, paying my light bill,
and keeping money for when we run out of food again, which is hard.
I'm trying to move because of mold.
I have due to not having a good tenant and maintenance,
but that's why I need the help.
I do not want to end up on the stripper pole.
Help me.
See them put the stripper pole and stuff there.
Yeah, all that, all that.
Candy, how much you need, Candy?
How much you need?
I mean, I just need enough to, like, get us to where I can.
Give us a number now.
Talk to the universe.
Tell the universe what you need.
I mean, I don't, you know, I hate asking for stuff, so I wouldn't, I don't, like.
Candace, come on now.
What about a stack?
Give us a number.
What about a stack?
Give us a number.
Give us a number.
Give us a number. I mean, a thousand Give us a number. Give us a number. Give us a number.
I mean, a thousand will be fine.
A thousand?
A thousand?
I don't know.
I'm going to give you a thousand.
Envy is going to give you a thousand.
And Envy is going to give you 500 because she's cheap.
What about 2,500, mama?
Hold on.
First of all, y'all stop acting like this is your money.
It is our money.
Pepsi.
Tell me it's not our money.
How about $2,500, Candace?
$2,500.
Oh, my God.
That would be awesome.
Okay, so $800 apiece.
I'm going to give $800.
Envy's going to give $800.
Yee's going to give $900.
Does that equal $2,500?
No.
It does, right?
It does, but it's not $8,000.
No, that's right.
You want that?
You want $2,500?
That's awesome.
Oh, my God. That would do me perfect. All right, Candace. We're going to give you $2,500? That's awesome. Oh, my God.
That'll do me perfect.
All right, Candace.

And ain't no front page news today, babe. Nope, nope. No front page news, no. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. And ain't no front page news today, babe.
Nope. Nope. No front page news, no rumors, no donkey, nothing.
Nothing, because we do change for change.
This is the time of year we do change for change.
We've raised $1.7 million for three different organizations over the past three years,
but this year we're doing it different.
That's right. We're giving you guys money.
I know that a lot of you guys are effed up because of pandemic, COVID,
coronavirus layoffs,
furloughs. So we're trying to help you
people out. Everybody that rides with us, we're just trying
to help. It doesn't matter what your situation
is, if you lost your job,
if you need money to pay your bills,
or whatever it may be. We're just trying to help
everybody out. We got a little bit of rent.
We got a nice little bag.
It's a nice amount. It's a nice amount.
It's a nice amount. And it's also the holidays.
And so we are aware that this is also a difficult
time for some people with the
pandemic. And then if you have kids
or if you've been having some
financial difficulties, we just want to help.
You know, people call up here all the time
and, you know, they want us to help and they give us
their cash apps. And, you know, I come out of pocket
a lot and throw things in people's cash app.
So me as well.
Today is your day.
Don't miss your blessing.
All right.
Well, let me shout out to the sponsors, Pepsi and New York personal injury attorney, Michael S.
Lamonsoff, the bull.
That's right.
So the Andrew Yang to Andrew Yang.
Andrew Yang gave five grand.
So he zoomed in.
What?
Last week.
Last week.
He threw five grand in the pot.
Right.
I'm glad he did that because I damn sure forgot to give you all the information.
I forgot to send him the information.
No, we were already on top of it.
And just so you guys know, if you need some food assistance, whyhunger.org.
You can go there.
You can go to feedingamerica.org.
Those are just some organizations that help provide food for people.
All right.
Now, when we come back, we're going to talk to a young lady that,
this is the lady, her house burned down, right?
Her house burned down.
Lord have mercy.
She was on her way home.
She has a child.
And when she got back to the crib, her house was on fire.
She lost everything.
You know, could you imagine?
Your clothes, your pictures, your important valuables, all that gone.
So we're going to talk to her when we come back.
She sent us an email. So we're going to break off a little bit.
So we'll do that when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now it's Change for Change where we're actually giving people money this morning,
and we have a young lady on the phone.
Trina, good morning.
Good morning.
Trina.
Trina from Milwaukee.
How you doing this morning, mama?
Fine, and you?
Now, how you pronounce your last name, Trina?
It look like millions from what I'm seeing on this paper.
I know.
Everyone always says it's millions.
Millions.
Missing an L.
Yes.
Okay, missing an L.
L and an I.
L and an I.
We thought your last name was Millions.
We were going to ask you for some money.
I did that when I ran for Treasury before.
It said Trina Mill is the name so close to Million.
Now, Trina, I'm going to tell you something.
I love Milwaukee.
Salute to everybody that listens to us on V100.7.
I really do got a lot of love for Milwaukee.
They're the first city that ever syndicated the Breakfast Club.
That's right.
You saw Milwaukee.
Tell us your story.
So, October 4th, I had just got off work,
and I was on my way to my boyfriend's mom's house
because he was staying there for a week
because his mom went out of town,
and he was taking care of his sister.
So we were there for a week because she was disabled.
And then I was like, okay, your mom's not back yet.
I'm ready to go home.
He's like, no, she's supposed to be back.
I'm like, well, I'm going to go home.
So I took my baby.
She's nine months.
I took her, and I was like, I'm going home.
I'm going to get in my bed.
I'm ready to eat.
And as soon as I started going home, the fire trucks kept pulling me over
because, you know, you have to get by, so I had to keep pulling over to the side.
And I'm pulling over as I'm driving home,
and then I get right to my main street where I have to turn down,
and I get pulled over again because they have to go by again.
I'm like, okay, I know they're going to a barata property.
I'm not thinking they're going to my place.
So if I get closer, I'll see the street is blocked off.
And I'm like, I live down this street.
And the man's like, I don't care.
I'm still not thinking it's my place.
It's still not registering.
So I parked the car, and i grabbed my baby's car seat and i
walked to the corner because my house is literally one major um uh building away from the street so
i started walking and it's my building i'm like what is going on it's like the fire started outside
i said dude i haven't been home in a week i just want to lay on my bed it's cold outside my baby
is right here we can't go home so i'm like frustrated i'm taking all my anger out on my bed it's cold outside my baby is right here we can't go home so i'm like frustrated
i'm taking all my anger out on my boyfriend because i'm like we just lost everything you
know this year i was working towards building my credit i'm getting a house next year that's what
i kept doing and then i got hit with this curveball and he's just like what are we going to do like
i'm working to build things up and now i didn't know it was expensive to be homeless.
Like, it's expensive.
Like, I thought people who didn't have a house was just like, get to buy the newest shoes, get to do this.
No, we spend like $100 a day to eat.
I'm working just to make ends meet for the week, not even to save nothing.
Like, it's just costing us more and more and more, and it's just been so frustrating.
My dad's like, I know you want to give up, but it's going to work out.
It's going to work out. I'm like, I know, but I'm up, but it's going to work out. It's going to work out.
I'm like, I know, but I'm just so tired of getting hit with things
that's supposed to make me stronger later.
Like, no, I'm just tired.
And he's just like, it'll get better.
It'll get better.
Well, Trina.
I've been hearing it on the radio.
How much you need?
How much you need, Trina?
How much you need, Trina?
Actually, the crazy part is that yesterday before I got the phone call,
I had just got approved for a place.
And a man was like, as soon as you can come in and bring us the money,
the keys are yours.
How much is the money?
It's $9.65 security and $9.65 deposit.
Nine what?
$900?
Yeah, $9.65.
$9.65 security, $9.65 deposit.
See, the $1,900, around $1,900.
No, it's about $2,000. Let's round up. Come on, $2,900. Around $1,900. No, it's about $2,000.
Let's round up.
Come on.
$2,000?
About $2,000.
All right.
So listen, how about we do this for you, Trina?
We give you that $2,000, and since it's the holidays, we throw an extra $3,000 on top
of it.
How you feel about that?
Yeah, how you feel about that?
$5,000.
How you feel about $5,000?
$5,000.
That's going to make me cry.
I've never asked for anything, but that's really going to make me cry.
You better not cry because you know you just put that mascara on and you're going to look crazy.
It's called mascara, not mascot-tara.
I don't wear makeup.
There you go.
Well, congratulations.
You got $5,000.
Five racks for you, Trina.
Oh, my God.
Five racks.
Thank you.
And then let me ask you a question, Trina.
How's your credit?
I actually just got it.
I just got it up to $636.
All right, we're going to fix your credit.
We're going to get you in the $700s too, okay?
Okay.
I'm going to make my guy fix your credit for nothing for free
to make sure your credit's in the $700s.
So next year this time, we're going to be talking about your place
that you're going to be buying.
Now, Trina, you make sure.
Happy holidays from the Breakfast Club.
That's right.
And, Trina, you make sure Envy does that to you for free
because Envy will be like, well, listen, it's going to be $3,000.
All right?
So you have your $2,000 to get you up,
you pitch your place,
and then you got to give them $3,000
to get your credit out.
Don't let them do that to you.
And make sure Embi don't take your credit
and buy a bunch of other things with it.
No, I'm not.
I don't fix the credit,
but I got my credit guy.
The credit dude's going to fix your credit.
I'm going to call him,
make sure he does your credit for free,
and make sure next year you got a place to live.
Thank you.
All right?
Hold on, Trina.
Okay. All right, well, we got more money to give away now you. All right. You hold on, Trina. Okay.
All right, well, we got more money to give away now.
We've been talking behind the scenes about Jeezy and Gucci.
So I think we should just do a little mini mix.
I ain't going front.
That's excitement for the night.
Oh, now what you about to say?
The same thing I've been telling you ass for the past week?
I'm not going front.
Although I know Jeezy will win.
I think Jeezy's going to win.
Gucci got records.
Gucci got a lot of records.
The reason I forgot
is because I said,
Charlamagne,
send me some of the Gucci records
because I'm going to play
and do a mini mix.
And how many I sent you?
A lot.
I sent you like 20 off the top.
Listen, the thing is...
But they was all bangers.
They wasn't like,
you forget so many records.
You really forget.
And Jeezy is one of my
top seven favorite rappers
of all time.
I always say that.
If you've been listening
to The Breakfast Club for years, you know I've always said that. But Jeezy got joints. The only difference between Jeezy is one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time. I always say that. If you've been listening to The Breakfast Club for years, you know I've always said that.
But Jeezy got joints. The only difference
between Jeezy and Gucci is Jeezy has
better bodies of work. Jeezy got two classic
albums and two really great albums. The Recession
TM 101, the Classics, Inspiration
and 103 are the great records. But Gucci
got 108 albums and mixtapes.
He's got a lot of great songs.
There's a lot of things that you just forget, like Wasted,
right? You just forget that's Gucci's record or steady mobbing with with Gucci and Wayne like you forget Gucci's dick
I mean Gucci was on a member Gucci with the pills that record
It's the Breakfast Club good morning. Good morning everybody is DJ envy Angela ghee Charlemagne the guy It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela
Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast
Club. It is Breakfast Club Change
for Change where we are giving people
money. Usually, this day
we raise money to give to an organization
to help the organization, but today
because of COVID, the pandemic, we
want to help you guys. So we're trying to help as many
people as possible. You know, over
the past three years, we've raised over
$1.7 million. That's crazy.
For three different organizations.
That is amazing. $1.7
million we've raised for different
organizations over the past three years.
So as you just said, you know, COVID
got everybody in a financial bind.
So it just felt weird asking people
to call up here and donate to give
to one cause when we could just
shake down one of these corporations get a bag and just give it out to people that's right you
know what i mean yeah so shout out to pepsi too we want to thank them for stepping up to the plate
to make sure that we had some change to give away to y'all and i do also want to say that the
entry's closed um online so for a lot of people that are sending messages to our personal emails
or on Twitter, that's not how
this works. It has to be vetted.
Alright, well we have Lakeisha on the line. Lakeisha,
good morning. Hi, good morning.
What up, Doe?
Hi.
What you need some money for?
A lot. Just my tuition for
school mainly because that's something
that I have to use
as a priority other than bills.
Now, Joe Biden allegedly
said he's canceling all student debt.
So I don't know if we need to give you any
money for that right now.
Yeah, that has to
pass. You can't just do that. Let's
get ready. What are you going to school for?

No, I take everything on my own.
Take everything on my own.
All right.
That's right, Lakeisha.
You let them know you got four kids.
You're going to school for nursing to be an essential worker to help other people.
I think you deserve it.
Now, Lakeisha, on your email, you said you need $1,000.
Yes.
That's all?
Yes.
Just $1,000?
You got four kids.
You want to, oh, you wanted $1,000?

Does that work?
Yeah, that'll work.
$1,500 is good.
Okay, I like that.
All right, $1,500.
I know you asked for $1,000, but we're throwing a little $500 extra.
And what I love about Lakeisha is she's like, I know other people need it.
She's still thinking about other people
at this time.
That's crazy because my kids made a poem yesterday
and told me that.
That you're always thinking of other people?
Yes.
That's a beautiful thing, Lakeisha. Well, we're going to send you that $1,500
for the holidays and you enjoy. You have a great
Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. And keep in mind,
we gave you way more. God bless you.
That's right. And keep in mind, we gave you way more than your baby daddies have ever given you.

Okay.

All right.
Now, also, tonight is the versus battle. Oh, man. Gucci Jeezy. Okay. Yes. Alright. Now, also, tonight is the versus battle. Oh, man.
Gucci, Jeezy.
Okay.
This is going to be an epic one. First of all, y'all know
Jeezy's one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time.
Okay? Been telling y'all that
for years. But I'm just letting you know,
don't sleep on Guwop.
Guwop got records. He does.
Guwop got joints. Envy told me earlier this
week it was going to be a wash.
I did think that at first.
You know what I mean?
And I think he feels like that because, you know, Gucci called his dog a punk.
Shout out Chuck Norris.
Shout out to Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris was hurt by that.
Chuck Norris did say.
It was like a wash.
I was like, as much time as you spent down south, Envy, and you don't know the records that Gucci got. But shout out to Chuck Norris did say... I was like, as much time as you spent down south, Envy,
and you don't know the records
that Gucci got? But shout out to Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris
says it's on site. Just
throwing it out there. Shout out to Chuck Norris. I had to
hold him down. But anyway, nah, you know what it is?
Damn, so Jeezy gotta worry about Freddie Gibbs and Gucci
gotta worry about Chuck Norris.
This is too much distractions tonight.
It's a lot going on.
You forget about a lot of the records that Gucci has.
No, you forgot.
I did.
I tried to tell you.
There's some joys, but it's going to be interesting.
But I mean, listen, I think Jeezy should pull out the win.
I think Jeezy got it.
It's the entertainment factor, too, though.
The internet.
If Gucci plays the truth tonight, if he starts that off,
the internet's going to lose its mind.
We might not even get
to the other 19 songs.
I'm just saying.
But Gucci's
very disrespectful.
You know,
Gucci could,
you just never know
what Gucci would do.
Gucci would pull up
to the venue
with a coffin.
Like,
you just never know
what Gucci would do.
No,
I don't think
he'd do all that.
The truth is enough.
Yeah,
I guess you're right.
But we'll see.
That happens tonight
at what time? I don't know. Do we even know the time? 8 o'clock. Oh, I guess you're right. But we'll see. That happens tonight at what time?
I don't know.
Do we even know the time?
8 o'clock.
Oh, 8 o'clock.
Okay.
So you got Jeezy.
That is not happening at no 8 o'clock.
You got Jeezy.
Yeah, I mean, I think Jeezy has better music,
but I just say it from the entertainment standpoint.
And for what Versus is,
I'm not going to sleep on Gucci in this situation.
I got Jeezy.
He's an entertaining person.
And once again, if he plays the truth tonight, the audacity of him to play that record. I got Jeezy. He's an entertaining person. And once again,
if he plays the truth tonight,
the audacity of him
to play that record
in front of Jeezy.
But Jeezy's over there.
I'm sure Jeezy already
knows he's going to play that.
That's, that's, that's,
he got to watch his temperament.
You got to keep his head
when that happens.
Jeezy will be good.
I'm sure he'll be on defense
and know exactly how to come
right back with another record.
He should just go hits.
Just go hits.
He got a lot of them.
Go right into it. I'm the realest in got a lot of them. Go right into it.
I'm the realest in here, y'all.
Go right into that.
Now, who you got, Yee?
I told y'all this already, Jeezy.
But, you know, I listen to more of Jeezy's music
and know his songs better, so.
I'm from New York.
What that mean?
They not?
What does that mean?
I mean, I think
that in Atlanta
and in the South,
there's a lot of
records that weren't
songs that were
played on the radio
or singles that
people know from
Gucci, and I don't
think that I grew
up listening to that.
It's not like what
we heard in the
clubs.
I feel like Jeezy
got more songs that
was popular
nationally.
I can see that.
I think also Jeezy was signed to Def Jam and Def Jam is such a New York label
so it was more pushed in New York.
Atlantic?
Def Jam is a New York label.
It feels and breathes New York.
Did you just say Atlantic sucks? I'm sorry.
Wow.
No wonder they didn't donate the change.
Shout out to Def Jam.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay, guys.
I didn't say it, you did.
Well, let's come back and give some more money out.
All right, we'll give some more money back.
Of course, we're giving money away, so just keep it locked.
And it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Today is Change for Change.
Now, usually what we do is we ask you guys for some money,
and we like to raise as much money as possible
and give to a different organization each year.
Over the past three years, we've raised $1.7 million
for three different organizations,
the Gathering for Justice Movement,
Brandon Marshall's 375 Movement,
and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
So we've raised $1.7 million for those three different organizations over the past three years.
So this year we want to do-
But right now we are in the midst of a pandemic, so we want to make sure that we can help other people out and give you guys some money.
So we have been fortunate enough to get some donations from some corporations like Pepsi.
Shake these corporations down.
That's right.
And I also want to point out that I know a lot of people are in need.
And, you know, right now there's a lot of resources for you.
If you need rental assistance, if you're facing homelessness
or food insecurity assistance, there's a lot of organizations for that.
There's the Coalition for the Homeless New York,
Community Service Society of New York, Catholic Charities of New York,
Food Bank for New York City.
We'll be giving you some of that
information throughout the morning as well. There's
City Harvest for food as
well. And also shout out to Andrew Yang.
We got Andrew Yang's money, right?
Did we get his money? Yeah, Andrew Yang gave a bunch of money
too. Yeah, he gave
five racks. Yeah, he gave five racks. He threw it into the pot

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?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
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

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.

Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

We raised over $1.7 million in the last three years.
That's right, for the Gathering for Justice organization,

mental health organization.
And last year was the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
I feel sad, though, because this is making me think about Chadwick Boseman, because Chadwick Boseman was here this time last year was the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. I feel sad, though, because this is making me think about Chadwick Boseman.
Because Chadwick Boseman was here this time last year.
Actually, this, what's today?

Yeah.
It might have been the same date last year.
And he gave away $100,000 for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
I think he donated every year.
I think he did.
I'm not sure.
I don't know if he donated every year.
But he was up here.
He was here.
You know what I mean?
He was in the studio and he donated $100,000.

It's very important to keep telling people
that for the past three years, we've raised
$1.7 million from various organizations.
Meaning raised.
We always have callers call in, give a dollar, give $5, give $10.
We have artists give large sums of money, and that's how we get to these big sums that we're able to give to these organizations.
But today, we're just giving our listeners, our supporters money.
And we have Alexis on the line.
Alexis from New Jersey.
Good morning, Alexis.
Good morning. Talk to me, Alexis. Good morning.

I'll just be trying to see if your mom or them named you after the car.
That's all.
Alexis, what part of New Jersey are you in?
What?
I'm in Middlesex County.
Okay.
What's your story, mama?
Let's talk about your story this morning.
So, basically, it's a little emotional, but it was last November.
I was in a major car accident.
I lost my left below the knee, my leg.
No, man.
Wow.
Yeah.
I have a three-year-old son who's amazing. When I was in the car accident, I didn't really know, like, obviously I was unconscious on it.
I didn't know, like, until three days later what was actually happening.
And they basically just said, like, your leg is not, you know, it's dead, basically.
And you're not going to be able to walk on that leg so you're gonna have to
amputate it so oh my goodness they did and i was in a huge depression and you know i was really
depressed and i couldn't couldn't pick up my son my parents were taking care of us for a long time
finally i got my prosthetic leg and i had no, you know, hope at all that I was going to be OK.
I had no hope to be like at all. And I just started walking. I was doing so well with the prosthetic.
I remember the first time I picked up my son. Wow. It was just I finally signed up for school. I'm in beauty school now.
I go to Pro Beauty Academy in Edison.
I love it.
It's something I've always loved to do.
So it's kind of like something, it was really bad what happened to me,
but it kind of like turned around my life too.
Your medical bills are crazy, I'm sure.
They're insane.
Wow, and then your son's daycare while you're in school.
It's like $800 a month.
Oh, my goodness.
Mom, what do you need, Mama?
And I'm a single mom, too.
How much do you need?
Well, first of all, she needs a lot.
I'm sure she needs more than we could actually give.
What would help you right now?
Yeah, I think, how would you like, let's
just say $5,000.
Oh my God.
That would be
amazing.
I think we could do $5,000 for you, Mama.
$5,000.
That's the least we can do. I mean, you lost the leg.
Oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
I wish I could do more.
Is that good, Mama?
Thank you so much.
Thank you guys so much.
Now, we have your Cash App.
Do you mind if we put that out there?
Because, you know, somebody might say, you know what, let's throw a little something extra in there just in case.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Thanks, guys, so much.

damn. You know what I'm saying? That's the least we could do. I mean, God damn.
You know what I'm saying?
It's wild.
She lost a whole leg?
Ugh.
I heard that.
I heard somebody saying, I don't know if it's true or not,
but somebody sent me a meme this morning saying that Boosie might have to get his leg amputated.
You saw that?
No.
Yeah.
I hope not.
I hope not either.
Wow.
All right.

Always.
Now, listen, it's very important to note that when we do Change for Change,
we usually raise money.
We have our artist folks and our athletes and, you know,
different corporations donate money.
We've raised over $1.7 million over the past three years
to give to three different organizations.
So this is really a change that we're actually just giving away the bag.
Right.
It's a different time right now.
We are all facing things that we haven't faced before.
So we just want to be part of the, in the position to help people.

victims and try to
end sex trafficking in the Atlanta area.
I'm currently
in school for HVAC training.
I just started, like, last
month. What kind of training?
HVAC.
Heating, ventilation, AC.
What school though?
Altair's Career College.
That's dope. That's a really essential
business right now. So I'm happy
that you're doing it. You're going to do well.
Yeah, that's what everybody keeps telling me, man.
I've been looking into it, so that's why I joined into that.
So what you need money for, King?
You need a car.
He said he need a car because he's helping an organization to try to...
He works for a nonprofit.
So he's going to trade school.
He got to take the bus every day.
So he needs a little bread.
I respect it.
I want more people to go to trade school, man.
I keep saying that trade school need to be free, especially in the hood.
You know what I mean? The brothers don't know
how to use their hands no more, but they don't understand
them plumbers, the engineers, the electricians,
people that put air conditions in
that do the cars,
the heating, they make so much money.
Shout out to Lincoln Tech too, man.
And I do want to shout you out too for working
to help end sex trafficking and helping
these women out and men out who are being
trafficked. I think that's amazing that that is something that matters to you.
So shout out to you for that.
So what you need, King?
What can we give this brother this morning?
What do we got?
I mean, anything.
Anything will help.
That's why I wouldn't be in pinky nothing.
I didn't know how much I was giving out.
Anything will help.
What do we got for him?
A stack.
A thousand?
A thousand dollars.
Will a thousand help you on your journey, brother?
Yes, sir.
All right.
Well, we're going to send a thousand dollars your way.
Woo!
You can pick up a used car.
Or you can put down on a new car and pay a low monthly rate.
Because the cars right now are very inexpensive.
I don't know why, but money's cheap and the leases are very cheap.
I appreciate it, man. All right. Good luck leases are very cheap. I appreciate it, man.
Alright, good luck, brother. Thank you.
Alrighty, man. Alright, change for

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Yes.
Good morning.
It is change for change today, and it's a little bit different this year.
Instead of us raising money to donate to corporations, we are actually donating to you directly.
That's right.
And Envy, you are giving away some of your personal money today, right?
Now, you know, actually, we've probably gave up a lot of the money up here
because I don't think the heat works up anymore.
So I don't think we paid any bills because it's cold.
Well, we ain't supposed to be up in here.
You know what I mean?
The way they looked at it was everybody's at home quarantined.
Oh, that's what it's going to be.
So you're fending for yourself.
Wear your goddamn jacket.
But listen, we've given away $1.7 million over the past three years,
the three different organizations, the Gathering for Justice Movement,
Brandon Marshall's Project 357,
and last year the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, okay?
But as he said just now, we're not raising money this year
to give to one organization.

I don't know if it's safe to go to Seattle.
I'm going to tell you how you get out of that.
You tell her that, number one, the coronavirus,
being that the coronavirus is here, Santa got a quarantine.
That's right.
So he ain't going to be able to make it for Christmas.
And y'all can't travel because of the coronavirus,
so y'all can't go to Florida.
So y'all have to figure out something to do right at home in the
Chuck. Okay? Yeah, that's

Now, I got a serious
question. What is Geechee?
It sounds like it's patois.
It sounds like it's Caribbean.
All I know is something in the mouth.
Where did this come from?
It ain't nothing in the mouth.
Why did you just say that?
Because that's all he says.
Geechee Gullah Culture.
That's why I can't wait until the International African American Museum opens up in Charleston, South Carolina in 2022.
I was actually on a call about that yesterday.
I can't wait until the museum opens up and then I can actually take people down to Charleston.
We're going to have field trips.
Take them down to Charleston so y'all can really experience and feel the Geechee Gullah culture.
All right.
2022.
International African American Museum.
You see.

If you just joined us, it's change for change.
Yes, it is.
You know, every year we do this, we give away money.
We raise money and give it to an organization.
We raised over $1.7 million.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I actually like this way better.
No disrespect to all the organizations we've raised money to,
but, you know, you give $800,000 to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
The reason I love that is because that goes to scholarships and other things for a whole bunch of different people.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, I guess when you give money to these organizations, they're all helping various people.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Either way, this is good.
But I just think in the timing of this this year during the pandemic, being able to help out individuals and to hear their individual stories, I just wish we could help more people.
Yeah, it just feels more personal.
You know what I'm saying?
Just giving the money directly like this.
All right.
Well, we have somebody else on the line that we need to give some money to.
What line is this?
Two?
Hello, who's this?
This is Keyron.
Keyron from Houston.
What up, brother?
I'm good.
How are you, Envy?
We're doing good.
We're doing good.
Now, you know, what's your story?
What's going on in your life, bro?
Well, I was laid off due to COVID.
I've been an accountant for the last several years.
So now basically I've just been on unemployment.
Death ended.
Applied for food assistance.
Of course, they denied if you get unemployment.
So I've just been trying to live, maintain my house, pay car notes, utilities, food,
just things like that.
Okay.
Okay.
You got kids?
Yes, two. Two kids. You got kids? Yes, two.
Two kids.
You got a wife?
A girlfriend, yes.
You got a girlfriend?
All right.
Okay.

She's a teacher.
She's a teacher?
Okay.
She's at home virtual learning?

Virtual teaching.
They're back in school now.
Tech kids kind of send everybody back.
We didn't really.
Okay.
They were like one of the first states.
So, yeah. Okay. So,'t like one of the first days sold.
Okay.
So how can we help Keyron this morning?
What do we got for Keyron?
So you figure the car knows about, what, $500, $600?
You figure monthly food is about $500?
I think his car knows about $623 a month.
$623?
Okay.
It is.
Okay.
It is?
It's $623?
No, actually it is.
Oh, okay. He read the email.
I ain't read no email.
Oh, because that's exactly what it is.
All right.
Well, what about $1,500?
Can $1,500 help you out, brother?
$1,500 would definitely help.
All right.
So we're going to send you $1,500.
$1,500 for you, Kieran.
All right.
I appreciate y'all.
We got you, King.
$1,500.

800-585-1051.
We got more money to give away before we get up out of here.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
You know what we've been doing today?
We've been giving everybody money.
Today is Change for Change.
Usually we raise money for different organizations.
We raised over $1.7 million in the last three years.
But today it's all about you guys.
That's right.
I mean, you know, it's a blessing to be able to raise money like we have the last three years
and give it to different organizations.
Gathering for Justice was one of them.
Project 375, which is Brandon Marshall's
mental health initiative, was another.
And the Thurgood Marshall College Fund was the third.
But it feels really good to just be reaching out
to people all morning long and just blessing them.
You know what I mean?
Being able to be a blessing to others.
A blessing to be a blessing.
We have somebody on the line from one of your favorite
places in the world, the Bronx.
Good morning.
Good morning, Al.
What's your name? My name is Azarel. Hey morning. Good morning, Al. What's your name?
My name is Azarel.
Hey, Azarel.
Azarel.
What's your story, Azarel?
How's everything?
How are you holding up?
I'm trying to hold up the best I can.
I'm a truck driver, and before the pandemic, I was working at least 60, 65 hours a week.
And after, you know, everything, a few months in, I got down to 20 hours.
I'm trying to hold everything together, but my biggest thing
is my rent. I'm down maybe $500
and I'm trying not to get evicted.
I have a 15-year-old daughter and
I don't want to put her through that. I've been
homeless before and I know how it is. It's horrible,
but that's the last thing I want to put my daughter
through. Let me ask you a question. I thought
truck drivers were still doing good
during the pandemic. I know they're
about to go on strike in some places, I heard.
No, we're not about to go on strike, but it's just like we're not getting the hours that we were before
because, you know, the industry is tearing.
Wow.
And you don't want your child to be homeless because you've been homeless before.
Very understandable.
Are you in your truck now?
I am.
Can you blow the horn?
Man, shut up, man.
What is wrong with you?
Don't blow that goddamn horn for that grown man.
Don't you do it.
Please.
Yeah, but go ahead.
Blow the horn.
There you go.
There you go, Emmy.
He's so hot.
All right, all right.
I think it's terrible.
I think it's terrible that Envy asked you to blow anything before we about to give you
some money.
That is horrible.
That is just bad.
It just sounds horrible.
I said, blow the horn to the truck.
Now listen,
you know,
the craziest people in America
come from Florida,
in the Bronx.
That's a fact.
But your story is very touching.
What do we have for her this morning, guys?
A thousand dollars.
Nah,
I think we can do better than a thousand.
Two thousand.
I think we can do better.
Three.
I think we can do better, man.
She's talking about being homeless
and not wanting her daughter to be homeless, man.
She don't want to put her daughter
through the stress of being evicted
and having to find some place to live.
She's a single mom, bro.
$4,000.
$4,000.
You got to give her
an extra $1,000
because she's from the Bronx.
Okay, you're right.
$5,000.
And y'all know
how much rent is
in New York City, period.
So $5,000.
How does that work?
Thank you so much, guys.
I really appreciate it.
Don't you go spending this in one place now.
I know Christmas coming up, you in the Bronx,
y'all there drinking that damn eggnog with the lick in it.
What's it called?
Coquito.
Coquito.
All right.
Don't you go buying up all the Coquito in the Bronx now.
Coquito.
Not Coquito.
Whatever.
Coquito. Whatever.
Okay.
What are you telling me?
Oh, my bad.
$5,000 for you, man.
Thank you so much, guys.
$5,000 for you.
We hope you have a great holiday, okay?
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
All right. Thank you.
Hold on, okay?
So Coquito, so what's the frog?
The frog is?
Coqui.

What the hell is a frog?
Is it a frog? It's a frog in Puerto Rico. They make that noise. It's Coqui, not Coquito So what's the frog? The frog is Coqui Coqui What the hell is a frog? It's a frog?

Well, congratulations to her.
She picked up $5,000.
And everybody else, we will see you guys tomorrow.
We gave away all our money.
Shout to Pepsi.
Shout to the Bull.
Michael Lamisov.
To Andrew Yang for giving us $5,000 to give away as well.
And listen, man, it's a blessing to be a blessing.
You know, like my man Killer Mike says, if all of us do a little,
none of us got to do a lot.
You know, so I feel like we did a little something today.
We hope that we could, you know, relieve some stress that you brothers
and sisters is feeling this holiday season, all right?
All right.
