Bullets.

Good morning, USA! week how does everybody feel out there when i ask that question nowadays i'm really asking because i want an honest answer you know what i mean because none of us are the same

because i really truly want to know how you feel mentally emotionally spiritually how are you dj
envy i'm doing uh pretty good you know what i'm doing great right now. So right now I'm broadcasting from Cabo out in Mexico.
And the reason being is, you know, my mother, my mother-in-law passed away a week ago.
And I didn't want that to be what my wife thought of when she thought about 20th anniversary.
So we made these plans.
We had to cancel a couple of them and I begged her to come. She didn't want to come. But now that she's out here, I think it was actually better for her to grieve because she's by herself. There's no kids. There's no phone call. She can just really take it in and really, you know, really think about it. And, you know, we go through everything and, you know, the highs, the lows, the emotions. So it's been really really really great for her and you know and just the way to you know step
away for a couple of days just away from the world and you know because we're not on our phones out
here we're just kind of just enjoying life so it was pretty good so we're out in Cabo so it sounds
like a good little mental health retreat yeah absolutely absolutely recharge what about you

And they had a competitive cheerleading competition this weekend in Orlando, Florida.
So I was I was down in Orlando. You know, I'm a cheer dad.
Yeah, you're a cheer dad.
What do you do during the downtime?
Because if you are a parent and you have to take your kids to these events to travel, there's a lot of downtime.
What do you mean?
I sleep.
I lay in the bed.
What are you talking about?
I was on the couch.
I was watching the NBA Hall of Fame ceremony.
I was watching Z-We this weekend.
What else was I doing?
I mean, whenever we was in the crib, we was in the crib.
I went to the licking, though.
They got a licking in Orlando.
Drop on the clues box for my man, E-Class.
What's E-Class?
Sue, to everybody that listens to us on 104.5, the beat in Orlando. I went the clues box for my man E-Class. What up, E-Class? Sue, to everybody that listens to us on

That was about it. Other than that,
yeah, I was walking around
Disney World
doing my chair dad thing.
Did she win?
Did they get the first five?
Yes, they placed
one, because she's on two different teams. One of her teams
I think placed, they tied for second she's on two different teams. One of her teams, I think, placed.
They tied for second.
That's what it was.
Yeah, they tied for second.
Oh, okay.
We'll drop a bomb for her.
Man, that's a lot of practice.
That's a lot of dedication.
So drop a bomb for her.
What up, Yee?
You back?
Yes, I'm here.
My battery was dead.
Oh, my goodness.
Good morning, Yee.
How are you?
I'm doing well, thank you.
I spent this weekend just doing
some work stuff. You know, I have this coffee shop
that I'm opening, so I was dealing with a lot
of stuff with that, but it's exciting and
you know, I had a little photo shoot for Whole Foods
because they're doing our coffee in stores
in the New York City area.
Okay. So that's it.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Chris Rock will be joining us this morning
chris rock he got the number one movie in the country this weekend i saw that's right yes and
y'all know i love a good horror movie so that's part of the saw series that's right we kicked it
with him on friday so we're not gonna be able to talk about number one movies but we spoke to him
friday and also uh coach jesse's joining us right yes coach jesse Coach Jesse and Dr. Amun. And, you know, I'm big on every now and then making sure you detox your body.
A lot of people going on vacations, doing different things.
And sometimes you need to just give your organs a break.
So we'll talk about that.
And the vaccine, because there's all these new CDC regulations.
All right, we'll get into front page news next.
Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Mm. Mm. Mm. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
What's happening?
Good morning.
Let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
Well, you know, today you got to do your taxes if you hadn't done them yet.
Now, they had extended that tax deadline until May 17th.
And there's some exceptions, though.
If you're in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana,
because of the storms in February, the IRS
did extend the federal tax deadline for those
residents until June 15th.
And if you've got some stimulus payments,
you do not have to pay taxes on that. Just FYI.
So what's that mean?
If you've got PPP, you don't have to pay taxes on it?
No. I didn't say PP. That's a loan.
What's the stimulus payment? Oh, the stimulus.
The STEMIs. Okay, the $1,450 check.
Got you, Rachel.
I meant to say STEMI.
Yes, I know some people don't.
Now, so I wonder what PPP,
did you have to pay taxes on that?
I wonder, did they send,
did the IRS send people who got PPP loans or something?
Well, that would be for small businesses, right?
But I'm sure.
And they didn't extend that debt.
Because you're supposed to be using that
for employees and your businesses.
So I'm sure if you have to pay your employees,
they got to pay taxes on it. But I talk to your accountant yeah so all you scammers
out there who don't actually have businesses and created those fake llcs don't try to duck the irs
okay it's impossible they coming and if you need to file for an extension also make sure you do
that as well but remember when you do file for that extension you are going to still have to
pay interest if you owe money on your taxes all right are you ready
for the playoffs as we're trying to figure out what two teams from each conference will be
the numbers seven and eight seeds and we'll find that out tomorrow the charlotte hornets are going
to be playing the indiana pacers and the wizards will be playing the celtics also the spurs against
the grizzlies and the golden state warriors versus the lakers that's right i'm not gonna lie
lebron was dead wrong when he said whoever created the play-in tournament should be fired the play-in the Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors versus the Lakers. That's right. I'm not going to lie.
LeBron was dead wrong when he said whoever created the play-in tournament should be fired.
The play-in tournament, you know, it gives the games,
the last games towards the end of the season,
it gives them a lot more meaning because yesterday was a fun,
fun day in the NBA.
Just to watch.
Yes.
It's fun to think about who your top picks are.
And congratulations to the Knicks too. Yeah. Congratulations to the Knicks. Oh picks are. And congratulations to the Knicks, too.
Yeah, congratulations to the Knicks.
Oh, man.
Drop on the clues, boss, for the Knicks.
Oh, man.
It's been a while.
Oh, man.
What are they at, number four?
Number four seed.
Salute to Worldwide West and just salute to everything the Knicks organization has put
together this year because nobody expected them to win.
What'd they win?
41 games, I think?
Yeah, something like that.
41 games this year?
Yeah, 41 and 31, I think, was their final record. final record something like that but yeah nobody expected that this season so salute
to the knicks yeah salute to the knicks all their hospitality has to change but you know um
no no i'm being honest like i love i grew up on the knicks i love the knicks but
the hospitality of inviting people and the way they make people feel has to change it
like you know i go to both Knicks games and Nets games
and just being in New York, the
Nets arena and the Nets organization just
treat you better and I hope that that changes
with the Knicks. Well, listen, hurt people hurt people.
You know, the Knicks have sucked for a long time
so maybe they was taking out a lot of that trauma
projecting that trauma on
people they shouldn't have been projecting that trauma
on, you know what I mean? But now that they're winning,
maybe they'll be in better spirits over there.
You're right.
At MSG.
You're absolutely right.
All right.

Like, you know the concept.
Last thing I want to talk about, man, I want to try to challenge, I got an artist that

No gold stars for this guy.
Does he ever before?
Because I can't see people clapping for him.
There's some footage of him
performing on YouTube.

Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning. My name is Jay.
I'm calling from Atlanta, Georgia.
Good morning, Jay, from ATL.
Good morning. Get it off your chest.
I was calling this morning because I'm a brain aneurysm
survivor. It happened to me back
in June of 2012.
I had to have three brain
surgeries and all of that. I got my
stents and my coils gone. Everything
is fine for me. But when I
called to talk to my healthcare
provider and my neurosurgeon,
they wouldn't talk to me because they hadn't seen me since
2017. So they told't seen me since 2017.
so they told me to call the cdc i called the cdc and they didn't have any information for me all they could tell me or give me was information about people who had a stroke now i almost had
a stroke but that didn't happen all i had was the aneurysm so nobody can give me good information
as a mistake for me to take it so So I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to tell you either because
we're not doctors. But I do want to
I get it. I get it. I get it.
I was just hoping maybe since y'all have more
contact, maybe I have more info.
Somebody that could lead me
to get the real help that I need.
Because I don't want to take it and God forbid if it happens to me.
You know, Coach Jessie who's joining us,
she had actually a brain aneurysm too.
Well, throw your information out there.
Maybe, you know, somebody will contact you.
My information on Facebook, not Facebook, but on Instagram is UR underscore Jigganess.
J-I-G-G-A-N-E-S-S.
And question, were there any symptoms before you had a brain aneurysm?
I know they say it's usually not, but did you feel any different?
Headaches, anything?
No, I felt it when it popped.
But it sounded like it was like, you know how you crack your knuckles?
Yeah.
I felt like a little snap like that.
And the next thing I know, my whole entire body just got ridiculously hot.
Wow.
And I couldn't do nothing.
But like I said, well, it took them two surgeries just to find where it burst.
And then the third one is when they finally was able to put the stent in the coils.
Wow.
We thank God that you're here with us because that could be awful.
Absolutely.
I know that's right.
I don't want to hold y'all up forever, but Ms. Lee,
I wanted to say thank you for everything that you do
and I wanted to ask you if you could check
out East Eats in Detroit.
It's my cousin's restaurant.
East Eats.
East Eats. Okay.
I sent that to you in your DM.
And Charlamagne, Father's Day is
coming up. First of all, congratulations
on your doctor. Dr. Charlamagne.
Thank you.
I wanted to see if maybe you could send my husband a book for Father's Day.
Yeah, that's easy.
I sent him a few.
I sent him Dr. Rita Walker, Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health,
and I sent him Tamika Mallory, State of Emergency.
Hold on so we can get your info, okay?
Yes, hold on.
I'll get your ad and stuff.
Get it off your chest.

Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and
unblock me. We'll tell you who is asking
for Nicki Minaj to please unblock her
because she didn't do anything wrong.
Nope, Charlamagne might have ruined that one, but we'll get into
it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Be part of a great colonial tradition.

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,

And we're losing
daylight fast.

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 Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests
and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've
hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt
the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally
that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment
of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Young Miami.
She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Young Miami tweeted out, can you unblock me on Instagram at Nicki Minaj?
And then she said, I'm not obsessed, desperate, none of that.
For real, I just asked her to unblock me.
I ain't do-ish.
The F.
And she also responded to a user who said she looks delusional.
And she said the only thing she's delusional about is D and my money.
And that's that so people don't understand why nikki has her block on instagram but they did bring up
in the comments an interview with young miami on the breakfast club where she was asked about
cardi versus nikki you know your label mate qc he said he wouldn't work with nikki because of the
beef with cardi so would you work with Nikki? I just want to stay away from
that question. I don't want to get into that.
But I am team Cardi.
City Girls is team Cardi. Cardi support the City Girls.
Absolutely. You know what I'm saying?
We don't have to ask. We'll just wake up
and it's a tweet about the City Girls. She really loves
the City Girls. She support the City Girls.
What am I missing with that though? I mean, Young Miami
didn't say anything bad about Nikki. She just said
she'd rather stay away from the question.
And then she said Team Cardi.
I don't see it.
I don't know if that was in your...
Yeah.
She tried to avoid answering that,
but she did want to make sure that people know
that they are Team Cardi,
and Cardi had done the song twerk with them around that time.
So I'm sure she felt a way
because they know each other personally.
And in the second half of the video by the
way she did they do
show an interest in
working with Nicki
and so they do want
to work with Nicki
Minaj
she did on Breakfast
Club she said that
mm-hmm
why we ain't play
that part then
let's add some
context to the
situation
yeah she has said
that so
yeah because people
don't hear that side
I only seen the clip
broke around with
with DeCharlamagne
asking about
exactly
you should have
played the other clip too.
My thing is,
even if they did
have an issue,
folks can't evolve.
Folks can't change their mind.
They're both mothers.
She'd probably see
the world different.
She'd probably be like,
why the hell
we got Patti B.
I didn't hear anything
that disrespectful about
when she was up here.
I didn't think so.
And then the Neighborhood Talk
posted it and said,
y'all give Young Miami a break.
It was the label pressure.
Now, her and Young Miami
responded,
no, not at all. I said, I'd rather stay away from a break. It was the label pressure. Now, her and Young Miami responded, no, not at all.
I said, I'd rather stay away from the question.
Cardi gave us one of our biggest songs
and supported me through everything I went through.
When everybody told me I couldn't do it,
she was in my ear telling me I can,
and I'll forever love her for that.
It's nothing personal.
That's it, and that's all.
That's what I took from it.
And I mean, the fact that she said,
I'm going to stay away from that question
lets me know she did not want to disrespect
Nicki Minaj in any way, shape, or form. I even have it come off like she was disrespecting Nicki in
any way shape or form now Nicki in the meantime went live and she had to respond to rumors and
Azealia Banks really hyped this up that she was addicted to cocaine and that she was because she
was sniffling while she was on live and here is what Nicki Minaj had to say about that rumor
that's just never been my drug of
choice. I do take Allegra every day and also I have to take Allegra now sometimes twice a day.
Yes I've said lyrics like keep the snow white I could buy a bottle of bundle. I'm talking about
weight. In fact I've only ever even seen coke in bricks. Since y'all want to know my drugs and all of that, just listen to my music.
Popping them things to go up and smoking Los Angeles Bud.
I say s*** like that because that's what the f*** I'm actually doing.
It's been a crazy season as far as allergies because I don't have allergies,
but I've been stuffed up crazy, which is crazy.
And Nikki's right.
Nikki ran with a lot of people that push major weight,
so she would know it.
Boy, you a snitch.
She said it.
All she said was she only saw cocaine and bricks.
That could have been in movies.
You're right.
You are a rat.
Well, she rapped about it before.
She has.
It's entertainment.
It's Nikki.
Nikki ran with all the drug dealers.
You're right.
It's entertainment.
Let me shut up. Shut up, Nikki. Too late. Anyway, right. Nicky ran with all the drug dealers. You're right. It's entertainment. You are.
Let me shut up.
Shut up, Nicky.
Too late.
Both of y'all.
All right.
Well, anyway, the whole point is she's not sipping cocaine.
You're an eyewitness.
Allegedly.
All right.
Now, Romeo and Bow Wow, in the meantime, are y'all here for this Romeo versus?
No.
With Bow Wow?
No.
Now, Romeo was on Fox Soul on his show, The Mix, and said this.
If Bow Wow do a goddamn battle and it's not with me, don't do it.
I'm just saying. So if Bow
do a battle, I'm open for it.
Listen, I love Romeo and I
love everything the Miller stand for. Salute
to my guy Romeo, but Romeo cannot
see Bow Wow in no musical
verses at all.
Y'all gonna stop acting like Bow Wow
don't got some slaps.
Now Bow Wow responded, you sure youaps. Yeah, they don't have 40 songs between them.
Now, Bow Wow responded, you sure you want this smoke?
I see you calling me out.
You sure this is what you want to do?
And he put hashtag versus.
I don't care how y'all feel about Shad Moss,
but y'all ain't gonna disrespect Bow Wow.
Bow Wow got slaps, okay?
Now, Romeo replied in his Instagram story,
regarding this versus talk, I've gave this man Bow,
aka at Shad Moss, I've gave this man bow, AKA at shot Moss,
his roses since we was kids and even reached out myself multiple times to
celebrate him and our era together in a creative way.
I could put my pride to the side.
If it means doing something positive and bringing back nostalgia for a dope
ass generation.
Now,
if you think this is smoke,
my brother,
we could hit up Logan Paul and get on one of those boxing tickets.
You know me in real life,
bro.
We ain't kids no more.

up in your lifestyle.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
You wanna rock, rock, rock, rock, rockin' with the best.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Where we startin', Yee?
Man, well, y'all know I've been watching this whole Bill Gates, Melinda Gates divorce and everything that's going on with them.
So now there are other reports coming out.
And one of them is that Bill Gates had a lengthy affair with an employee at Microsoft.
And that woman wanted his wife to know she wanted changes to her Microsoft job.
And she also asked that Melinda Gates read the letter that she wrote.
So we don't know if that really happened,
but they had a sexual relationship allegedly over the years.
I did not know that Bill Gates had hoes.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
And couldn't control them.
She writing letters.
If Bill Gates can't control his hoes, there's no hope for anybody.
All right. I mean, God damn, if a couple hundred billion don't control his hoes, there's no hope for anybody. All right.
I mean, God damn, if a couple hundred billion don't control your hoes, what will?
All right.
They also said that he was also seeking relationships, allegedly, with company employees.
And, you know, they said there was a thorough investigation.
They said they did provide extensive support to the employee who raised the concern that he sought to initiate an intimate relationship with a company employee in the year 2000.
And so on his behalf, you know, they're saying that there was people that are, quote, insiders are weighing in on things that they have no idea about.
So what they're saying is these stories are false.
That situation was over 20 years ago.
And the claim of mistreatment of employees is also false. That situation was over 20 years ago and the claim of mistreatment of employees is also
false and that the rumors and speculation
surrounding Bill Gates' divorce
are becoming increasingly absurd.
Absurd? Absurd.
Absurd. Absurd.
Yes. Okay.
There you have it. Right now his net
worth is, by the way, $144
billion. $144 billion.
A few billion should be able to keep some side chicks quiet, Bill.
Lord have mercy.
He's probably cheap as hell.
That's probably what this is all about.
Okay?
Right.
Because there's no way that your side chick should be saying anything.
She shouldn't even be living in America.
She like Valentine's Day.
You didn't give me nothing for Valentine's Day.
All right.
Get this letter together.
All right. Get this letter together.
All right.
Organizers of New York City Pride have banned the NYPD from participating in the parade in June and all the related events.
And they're trying to reduce their presence on scene. They're saying that their appearance has threatened members of the community.
According to a statement that was released Saturday, New York City Pride seeks to create safer spaces for LGBTQIA+.
At a time when violence against marginalized groups and trans communities has continued to escalate,
the sense of safety that law enforcement is meant to provide can instead be threatening and at times dangerous.
Interesting. I mean, it could work.
I mean, I read that they have private security they hired and they have volunteers that will be, you know, holding things down.
The only thing I community leaders. Yeah.
Only thing I'm concerned about is that, you know, the LGBTQ community is targets of hate crimes often.
And now that this has been announced to the world that they won't have police security, I feel like folks might try to target, you know, them in this moment.
But but also they do have security. I feel like folks might try to target, you know, them in this moment. But also, aren't the police trained though?
They do have private security.
They do have community leaders.
And police will be there, by the way, to control the traffic and other things like that.
They're just not going to have that huge, large scale presence.
But aren't they trained to look for bombs and look for certain things and people carrying certain things?
I thought that's what they specifically are trained for.
I would think the city would do that anyway,
though, right? I mean, even though they're not
working the event, they would still, like,
I would think, try to secure
the area to make sure there's nothing crazy going on,
right? As far as bomb threats and stuff. I would
think so. I don't know.
Alright, now, more than
80% of gas stations in D.C.
are out of gas, as well as 58%
in North Carolina, 48% in South Carolina.
Even though the Colonial Pipeline is up and running after being shut down for six days, some gas stations are still struggling with shortages.
That fuel pipeline is the largest in the U.S.
And after those cyber attacks shut it down with ransomware, now they are back open.
But it does take a while for all the fuel to get back through and for it to be transported.
And while they have made substantial progress and fuel has begun flowing to most of the markets it serves,
they said, you know, it's going to take a little bit of time for that to get back to normal.
And some gas stations are still struggling with supply.
You know, it flows at just five miles per hour.
So it could take days or even weeks for that gas and diesel and jet fuel to flow through to most places.
Damn.
Where's Daddy Yankee when you need him, Drubbles?
Where's your guy at, huh?
We need some gasoline, bro.
What's going on?
What's happening?
That was horrible.
Huh?
Terrible.
That was horrible.
It was a dad joke.
You know what I'm getting at?
No, it was a Daddy Yankee joke.
It was a dad joke.
Oh, my God.
Even worse.
That one was better than the first one. No, that was worse. No, that was better. Yankee. Oh, my God. Even worse. That one was better than the first one.
No, that was worse.
No, that was better.
That one made me nauseous.
All right.
And again, just one more reminder, guys.
Taxes are due today in most places.
So unless you're in, what is it, in Texas, there's only a couple of exceptions.
That's Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
Those states were hit hard by the storms in February. So those tax deadlines are extended till June 15th.
But for everybody else, you've got to pay your taxes or at least file for an extension.
Do not ignore it. Do not avoid it. Just making sure you guys do that.
I mean, you can ignore the IRS all you want. That don't mean they're not going to come for you.
OK, just because you ignore a problem doesn't mean they're not going to come for you.
Just because you ignore a problem doesn't mean it will go away.
All right?
And the IRS is triple that.
Whatever.
Just because you ignore the IRS does not mean that they're going to go away.
They're definitely not going away until they get what they want.
That's right.
And with interest.
If you don't give it to them on time.
And penalties.
That's right.
Play with them if you want to.
Play with Earths if you want to.
Yeah, don't mess with Earths.
And you know,
there's a lot of complications this year,
so if you still haven't filed your taxes, just make sure you look and see
what you don't have to pay on.
Make sure you see
what kind of relief you're getting.
You know,
all kinds of things happening with taxes,
so make sure y'all file properly and correctly.
If you got that STEMI,
you don't got to pay taxes on stimulus payments.
That money is tax-free. The PPP wasn't no STEMI either. Okay?'t got to pay taxes on stimulus payments. That money is tax free. The PPP wasn't
no STEMI either. OK, you go into prison. All right. That fake PPP you got because of that fake LLC.
You go into jail. So don't think the PPP was a STEMI. OK. And your first ten thousand two hundred
dollars in unemployment benefits will be exempt from federal income tax. Just FYI. So you know
that, too. So make sure you know what provisions are available.
If you're eligible for certain exclusions,
look all that up.
Make sure you know what exempt means.
I have a feeling that the people who are doing these PVP scams don't even
know what exempt means.
Probably not.
Probably not.
All right.
Well,
that is your front page news.
And also shout out to Jermaine Cole,
J Cole.
He finished up.
He had his first game over the weekend.
Of course he plays for the Patriots Basketball Club.
He had three points, three rebounds, and two assists.
Yeah.
J. Cole's had one of the best rollouts for an album that I can remember in a long time.
And it's all rooted in things he loves.
That's right.
Music and basketball.
That's it.
He gave us the interlude, the documentary, the announcement that he's playing ball in the BAL.
Slam magazine cover.
Drops the album. Album fired. And two days later, he's playing playing ball in the BAL, Slam magazine cover, drops the album, album fired, and two
days later, he's playing pro ball
in the BAL. Africa.
On ESPN. Man. That is right.
Phenomenal rollout.
Alright, when we come back, Chris Rock will
be joining us. We'll kick it with Chris Rock, so don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Is your

A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.

Kaperburg. 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 warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
Bullets. We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line.
Chris Rock. Good morning.
Yes. What's up?
Well, listen, I'm excited to have you on today because, you know, I'm a huge...
Horror movies are my favorite genre of film.
And so you're doing Spiral, right?
And so you were a big fan of the whole Saw
franchise. Yes, yes. I love the Saw franchise. I love to see people like boiled in oil and like
put in the traps. And like, I think we need more traps. More traps. Yeah, I think we need traps in
life. I think we need them in court. I think they'd be a good deterrent.
We need traps when a man is cheating.
That way if something happens, we could put his thing in the trap.
And then we'd be like, if you try to put your, yeah, that'd be a good one.
Right, Chris?
Yeah, we need for women cheating too.
Now the first 10 minutes of the movie is intense.
It's disgusting and intense.
So what makes you like scary movies so much?
You're from the hood, so you shouldn't want to be scared anymore.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Angela knows what I'm talking about.
When you're in that theater together, it's not even about a scary movie. It's a scary movie with a bunch of people.
It's like an experience like no other.
You know what I mean?
Because you all get scared together.
No, no, no, don't open that door.
Don't open that door.
It's so fun.
It's like going on a ride.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's like going on a ride.
I love it, man.
I love it.
So for most people that don't know, explain what the movie is all about besides being scary.
Because it's not just a, it's a little bit of everything in the movie.
It's a little bit of everything.
It's, I mean, how do you even explain Saw?
Saw, it's like the bloodiest episode of Law and Order you've ever seen.
Okay?
And I'm the cop investigating the crime,
hunting down this serial killer,
and I'm a serious cop,
and at the same time, I'm funny,
and, you know, it's a good ride.
Sam Jackson plays my dad in it,
and he's, you know, he's Sam.
He throws down, you know?
He's a method actor,
so he insisted on having sex with my mother, which is odd.
But I went, you know, she agreed.
So we're OK with it.
How's everything been with you with COVID?
Because I know at one time when it first started, he was like, look, Chris Rock is serious about this COVID thing.
If any interview, he's shooting outside.
He doesn't want to be inside.
He wants, you know, they said you were very serious.
So how are you now with COVID?
Are you starting to come a little bit?
I'm, you know, I'm vaccinated.
I'm, you know, they call me Two Shots Rock, you know.
I got my Moderna and, you know, I might even get the Pfizer as a backup.
What about Johnson & Johnson?
Would you get the Johnson & Johnson?
Yeah, Johnson & Johnson, the food stamps of vaccine.
You know, it's interesting because now the CDC is saying that if you are vaccinated, right,
you can go out with no mask, no social distancing indoors and outdoors.
Are you still, are you comfortable with that?
You know what?
I still, I'm going to carry the mask.
I mean, it's like a weird policy because it's like we're on the honor system all of a sudden.
You know, it's a lot of people still ain't vaccinated and they still, you know, I don't
know what's up with people not wanting to get vaccinated.
I don't know what's in there. I don't know what's in with people not wanting to get vaccinated. I don't know what's in there.
I don't know what's in Froot Loops.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what's in a lot of stuff.
You know how many drugs I've bought at strip club bathrooms?
How many times you haven't used a condom?
Yeah, like, oh, I'm having sex with a girl I met a half an hour ago at Freaknik.
I'm not going to take a vaccine.
I've done far more dangerous things.
Right, because you recently got a tattoo.
You don't know what's in that needle.
I don't know what's in that needle.
I don't know.
I don't know, Angela.
Was that your first tattoo?
I don't know.
I had a jerry curl what the hell was that
I think I knew what was they were putting in my scalp
now all of a sudden I'm farm to table now was that your first tattoo you got yeah i got a i got a bosquiat crown over here and then i got a print symbol here and i'm
you know once you start getting them they are they're addictive but what made you get a tattoo
now like now my daughter she was like when i turn 18 i'm getting a tattoo whether you like it or not
damn you know and you can't say you know know, you got a 19-year-old.
We got the same, you know, our kids are the same age.
And you can't say nothing, right?
So the day she was going, she was like, she got scared.
And she was like, you know, if you come with me, I won't go crazy.
Because she was like, I might get four tattoos.
I'm like, you're out of your mind.
Come on, Patty.
Get one too.
So we got them together.
We kind of got the same one, and it was like a bonding thing,
daddy-daughter tattoo day.
So you got two at the same time while you were there?
I got one, and she got one. So we both got our first tattoo together.
And then you got a second one?
And then you went back.
Yeah, I went back.
No, no.
Then me and my daughter went back and got another one.
So my daughter Lola.
I don't need the bad influence.
You and your daughter going to get it.
Yeah.
Yeah, Lola is my tattoo daughter.
Now, what if she said I want to get my boyfriend's name tattooed on me?
That would not happen. That would, I would, you know, that is not, no, that's what I would,
I wouldn't pay for it. Put it that way. You got to pay for that one yourself.
Now, last time we spoke, you were talking about how you've been going to therapy. So how has that
been going and how have you been changed since then? How have I been changed? I don't know. You know what? You would have to ask the people around me, but I feel like
I can connect more. I'm more patient. I'm less distracted and jumpy and I'm just more comfortable in my own skin. I'm more empathetic to others.
You know what I mean?
I can feel your pain, Angela.
I can feel your pain.
You've been doing a lot during this pandemic.
The young side of the story, Angela.
How does that affect comedy now?
Can you still do comedy because you feel more empathetic?
Oh, you know what it is?
It's just the therapy just clears out, you know, all this garbage you've been piling up over the years.
So it's not you don't get less funny.
You actually get to a state.
You get to that place where you remember why you started this.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
Like you DJ Envy and you're great right now,
but there was like,
there's an essence that made you want to be a DJ that sometimes you forget.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
That why you got into it.
So now,
yeah,
I'm kind of back to that guy.
So it doesn't make you easier.
Like, you know, we use your crack ass cracker drop all day long up here on the guy. So it doesn't make you easier.
Like, you know, we use your crack-ass cracker drop all day long up here on the radio.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
It's one of those things where you're like, you know what?
I'm not going to use crack-ass cracker because I could be a cracker.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not that guy.
I'm not.
No, no, no.
Cracker-ass cracker.
I'm like.
We got a new job.
Yeah, I'm like. Every day, anybody I talk to, any of my black friends are like, don't let these crackers get you down.
I'm never there.
All right, we got more with Chris Rock.
When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Chris Rocky.
How was it your first time back on stage?
Like, after being not on stage for a few months,
and I saw, like, you had your notes and everything.
Like, what was that experience like?
You know, it's good.
It's where I'm most comfortable, fortunately or unfortunately.
Yeah, I was in the summer.
I was going on stage with Dave out in Ohio.
So we were doing that thing.
And it was just great being out there.
Everybody's tested.
Now the Comedy Cellar just opened up downtown.
So I've been messing around there.
I did a set with John Mulaney the other night.
So I'm trying to get my act together so I can go on tour next year.
And really sum up everything that's happened in the last year and a half you know kind of give like a state of the union tour you know and what
are your thoughts on the cancel culture like you know if you say something wrong people will try
to cancel you immediately you know you even see ellen dealing with it with her workplace it seems
like it drove her crazy when she's like you know i'm retiring you know so yeah i know it's it's it's it's weird when you're a comedian because
like when you're a comedian when the audience doesn't laugh that we get the message right
like we you don't really have to cancel us because we get the message right they're not laughing our feelings hurt right when we do
something that people aren't laughing we like we get it i don't understand why people feel the need
to go beyond that you know i mean it's honestly to me it's it's a disrespect it's people disrespecting
the audience right like oh you think you know more than the audience
the audience knows more than everybody okay um you know but hey some things don't need to be
said some people need to be looked out for i definitely understand that but um
not letting comedians work is you know know, what happens is everybody gets safe.
Right.
And when everybody gets safe and nobody tries anything, things get boring.
Right.
Absolutely.
So I see a lot of unfunny comedians.
I see unfunny TV shows.
I see unfunny award shows.
I see unfunny movies because no one's, everybody's scared to like, you know, make a move, you know, and that's
not a place to be, you know, we should have the right to fail, right, because failure, failure
is a part of art, you know what I mean, and it's like, it's the ultimate cancel, you know what I
mean, but, you know, but now, you know, you got a place where people are scared to talk. That's not, you know, especially in America, you're scared to talk.
But, you know, that's what people want.
You know, got to make adjustments.
Right.
And, you know, let's do it.
But when you're working on material, sometimes it's not there yet, right?
And you have to do it in front of an audience to see what their reaction is.
When is the last time that people haven't laughed?
The other night. The other night I had a couple that didn't work i mean everything you see
especially with my act i love to talk about things that aren't funny and bringing light to them you
know what i mean when i first time i probably did crack ass crack it probably didn't get laughs for
months you know what i mean white people yeah you mean yeah you know like what's he talking about you
know what i mean but you got to work through it and you got to figure out the exact wording
of things you know what i mean and i'm sure people were offended the first time i started doing that
or a lot of the stuff i did you know but it takes a while and you know when you know, when you see it, when you see the finished product, here's the thing
with comedians, if I can say, don't judge a comedian by what you hear in the club. Okay.
The club is the gym. The club is the studio. Those are demos. Okay. Judge us by our specials,
you know? So when you see the netflix special when you see the hbl
special that is that is real work that is like okay i tried this joke it is is refined but you
know putting people on blast for stuff they made that they did in the club you know that that'd be
like getting j cole's demos and go yo this is trash right right right
ah man well them demos were dope though i mean you know what i mean like
probably like you look like get the beyonce demos ah this single ladies is horrible it might have
been horrible the first time you know she was working on it you know i mean halo might have sucked you know week two
the beehive is coming for you chris you know but i'm saying no no because beyonce's perfect
example like she really works on the stuff right she takes her time on her albums and if you heard
it in the middle it wouldn't sound as good like you know like like like when you like stay in a hotel
and they clean in your room right you ever come back early and they're not done yet it looks
horrible right right that's me cleaning my house when i pull everything you know what i mean like
everything's all over the floor right and to properly clean it has to get dirtier. It has to get messier. And to properly make good art, you have
to get dirty. It has to get bad. You got to be able to see it from every angle. You got to examine
every word. And, you know, hey, if cancel culture helps out, you know out people that are marginalized. That's good.
That is a great thing if you're handicapped, if you're trans, if you're Native American.
That's great.
The fact that people are nervous, offending marginalized people is a good thing.
Okay?
Absolutely. people is a good thing okay absolutely but anything that stops artists from trying
from from you know from reaching that's not good now would you would you do more serious roles you
know because in the beginning of spiral right i'm not without giving up everything i liked who you

yes morning everybody it's dj envy angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
That's right. Salute to Chris Rock. I wasn't here for the Chris Rock interview.
Salute to my guy, Chris Rock, man. Number one movie in the country with a, what is it called? Spiral?
Saw Spiral?
Yes, Spiral. Yes. He actually was the one that wanted to do that.
He went up to them and was like, we got to bring back this Saw franchise because he was a fan.
And salute the Slaughter Gang, too.
21 Savage and his crew, they did the soundtrack, right?
Yep.
Yeah, man.
Yep, yep, yep.
I didn't get to see the whole movie, though.
I got to check it out this weekend.
It's gruesome.
That's all I can say.
Gruesome is what I've seen so far.
I like a gruesome movie.
No, I don't pay people to scare me.
I just want to tell you guys on The Breakfast Club,
y'all were nominated for an Amby's award.
What is that?
And they actually, that's a podcast awards.
I thought Amby was the bleach cream
that used to bleach your skin back in the day.
What?
Well, it's a newly formed podcast academy.
And so last night was the Amby's.
We did not win, by the way.
We were nominated, but we did not win.
Who won?
Just FYI.
I think it was Conan O'Brien's podcast.
White privilege.
Conan O'Brien.
I got to see the numbers on Conan O'Brien's podcast.
Does Conan O'Brien do those kind of numbers?
Yeah, nobody talks about no Conan O'Brien podcast.
But listen, the reason I don't be tripping when we don't win those podcast awards is
because The Breakfast Club is not really a podcast.
We're a radio show, but we put the radio show
in podcast form
because nowadays
you have to meet people
where they are.
That's just the truth
to the matter.
Correct, correct, correct.
All right.
Well, rumors on the way.
What are we talking about, Yeezy?
We are going to be talking
about the Hall of Fame
and Vanessa Bryant
gave her incredible speech
honoring Kobe.
Man, that was so sad.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Fat Joe.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela. Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Fat Joe was on Drink Champs, and he was giving flowers to DJ Khaled
and even compared him to Quincy Jones.
Here's what he said.
So when I make reference to Khaled being the Quincy Jones of hip-hop
because he puts it together. Now, there's
a million guys putting a bunch
of rappers together, and they come
together, big guys, and they're not hits.
This is my point. Khaled
puts out number one albums, number one
hits. The album is incredible for me.
Does he get a man's credit?
We give Khaled all the credit
in the world, Fat Joe. Khaled is a great
producer, but he is not the Quincy Jones of hip-hop.
Like, come on, man.
Quincy Jones produced Thriller, amongst other things.
But Thriller?
Not the Quincy Jones.
Maybe the Quincy Jones of the DJ mixtape, but not, yeah, like you said, not a hip-hop.
He's created Thriller and multiple selling crazy records.
And I would like to say, I think when Khaled gets it right with a record, he really gets it right.
Big anthems, you know, all that good stuff.
But sometimes Khaled records are more hype than hits.
Well, Fat Joe did go on social media to defend his statement.
He said all these backseat drivers, Monday morning quarterbacks always got an opinion, but can't do it themselves.
It's crazy.
To me, the term Quincy Jones of this time was used in reference to the work Khaled has put in years and years of hits.
Obviously, there's only one Quincy, but F it. Tune in tonight. Explosive.
LOL. Khaled is the first Khaled. And that's enough. Drop on the clues bombs for DJ Khaled.
Yeah, absolutely. Khaled does what he does. But Quincy Jones is he's a great.
That's I guess when people compare like R&B singers to Michael Jackson, there is no other Michael Jackson.
Quincy Jones made Thriller, bro.
Thriller!
Vanessa Bryant
was accepting Kobe's induction
into the Basketball Hall of Fame with Michael
Jordan at her side, by the way,
as part of the class of 2020.
And here she is accepting the honor
on his behalf and talking about
Kobe just looking down and seeing all this happen.
I used to always avoid praising my husband in public because I felt like he got enough praise from his fans.
Right now, I'm sure he's laughing in heaven because I'm about to praise him in public for his accomplishments on one of the most public stages.
I can see him now, arms folded, with a huge grin
saying, isn't this some s**t? Man, so sad. Now Vanessa Bryant also talked about inviting his
parents in that conversation. My husband and I were sitting at our kitchen island and he and I
had a conversation about my mother and father-in-law attending tonight's enshrinement.
I invited my mother and father-in-law to tonight's enshrinement to thank them for bringing one
of the most amazing human beings into this world.
Pam and Joe, thank you for raising Kobe to be exceptional.
Thank you to all of Kobe's family.
Sharia, you've gone above and beyond.
I love you. I know it's hard to listen
to and it was, I'm sure, so hard for her to get on stage and give this speech. She got very
emotional. Of course, she was wishing that Kobe and Gigi were there as well. I wish my husband
was here to accept this incredible award. He and Gigi deserve to be here to witness this. Gigi
would be so proud to watch her daddy get
enshrined into the basketball hall of fame I know Kobe's really looking forward to being here
he asked the hall of fame to specifically add a sixth ticket for Capri he was so happy he didn't
really talk about upcoming awards but he did mention this one a week before he and Gigi passed
yeah I mean it was very difficult to watch.
I just sent healing energy to Vanessa and, you know, their family
because I couldn't imagine how much her life changed in the past year.
And all I kept thinking was, man, we got robbed from seeing Kobe,
Jelly Bean Bryant give his Hall of Fame speech.
Because NBA players give the best Hall of Fame speeches.
And I know Kobe's would have been one for the books, but God had other plans.
That's right.
And watching all the other players talk about Kobe,
you could tell, you know, they were getting choked up.
Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and the like.
So it was just, yeah, man, that's just a terrible situation.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?
Man, there is a brother in Florida named Elijah Shelton.
He needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him this morning.
All right, we'll get to that next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.

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.

for Florida Man.
The craziest
people in America come from the Bronx and
all of Florida. Yes,
you are a donkey.
A Florida man attacked
an ATM for a very strange reason.
It gave him too much money.
Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home
in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.
It's a breakfast club, bitches.
Donkey of the day with Charlamagne Tha God.
I don't know why y'all keep getting me to get y'all like this.
Well, donkey of the day for Monday, May 17th
goes to a 24-year-old Florida man named Elijah Shelton.
Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and this story just further proves my point.
This isn't just my point, though.
It's our point because we all know the truth.
Florida is one of the most beautiful places in the world with some of the most nut-ass people.
And if it makes sense in Florida, it probably won't make sense anywhere else except the Bronx.
Now let me tell you about Elijah Shelton.
He's in jail right now,
charged with robbery, grand theft, and drug possession.
See, Elijah Shelton must have watched the classic film
Set It Off one too many times.
Elijah Shelton decided that whatever Cleo,
Frankie, Stoney, and TT could do as a collective,
he could do as an individual.
So he decided to rob a bank. Now I'm'm not the highest grade weed in the dispensary.
In fact, yesterday I hit myself in the head with my bathroom door, left a little mark.
I don't even know how that happened. So I don't even know how my brain is working at this point.
I always thought hitting your head in the bathroom would lead to me coming up with an idea that would change the world.
I've had that thought in my head since I heard Dr. Emmett Brown say he slipped and hit his
head on the toilet, which caused him to come up with the idea for the flux capacitor.
But even my medium stupid ass knows the basics of a bank robbery.
OK, I mean, the whole point is to get in and get out as fast as you can.
The getaway is the most important part because that's what you want.
You want to get away with the crime.
That's why to get away car is the most important part of the's what you want you want to get away with the crime that's why the
get away car is the most important part of the crime to me okay you need a fast car damn near
a nascar so you can haul ass after you haul in the cash correct well sure that's correct everywhere
else but florida okay this is florida we talking about they do things a little different down there
let's go to wear abc3 for the report please The bank robber took a cab to and from the scene of the crime. Okay, stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. That was a very important line. The bank robber took a cab
to and from the scene of the crime. Start it again. The bank robber took a cab to and from
the scene of the crime. It's a master plan even Sheriff Johnson finds hard to believe.
24-year-old Elijah Shelton is now behind bars for robbing Synovus Bank in Navarre.
Sheriff Johnson says the taxi driver had no idea
Shelton robbed the bank when he got back in his car.
Johnny Bartell is the owner of Johnny on the Spot Taxi Service.
He says Shelton was only inside the bank for about four minutes before
coming back to the cab. Once deputies saw the security footage, they called Vardell to return
to the bank and he helped point investigators in the right direction. The sheriff says Shelton
stole $8,400 from the bank. They're still working to locate the money. Now, Shelton was arrested in
Okaloosa County, so he's currently in jail there he's being held on a 260 000 bond
now i tried to see this from elijah shelton's angle maybe in his mind he said you know people
always cause a scene when they rob a bank okay you don't want to drive through the window of a bank
in a suburban like cleo did and set it off that's too much of a scene if a bank robbery gets reported
and then you see a car speeding away somewhere in the vicinity of the bank, that's a red flag to police.
So if I'm Elijah, maybe my mindset is call a cab.
It's discreet. Slip in and slip out.
Nobody will be the wiser.
But Elijah, Elijah, Elijah, why or why would you call the cab to pick you up from your house?
Why would you have the cab drop you back off to your house after robbing the bank
santa rosa county sheriff santa santa rosa county sheriff bob johnson said that they apprehended him
pretty quickly you think i have a theory that some people feel like if they aren't acting like
they are committing a crime they don't think it's a crime like in elijah's mind he was just making a
withdrawal from some money that wasn't his i actually did something like this when i was young we had a weed but no blunts and
there used to be a local store in my community called the scotchman and i went to the scotchman
and walked in grabbed me a 12 pack of corona a box of blunts i don't remember if it was white
i was tampa nuggets of phillies but i grabbed a box of blunts and 12 pack of beer and just walked
out didn't try to hide it conceal it didn't even look at the cashier. Just walked in and walked right out.
So in my mind, I didn't really commit a crime. I was just in need. And I took, you know, what I needed.
OK, I'm sure this is what Elijah was thinking. You know what? Never mind.
Here I go again, trying to get into the mind of a Floridian, trying to make sense of a Floridian.
I don't know what Elijah was thinking. OK? Elijah, you might as well have dropped your location
for the police. You might as well have left a
business card with your name and address
on it. Hell, you might as well have had the cab
bring you and have the police
pick you up, because all you did
was just make a little detour to the house
before you off to jail. Now, I know
some of y'all might be thinking, maybe the cab driver
wasn't in on it. Well, listen to the cab driver. His name
is Johnny Bartell.
Well, I think he actually intended to rob the bank on Thursday because he called Thursday and I couldn't get to him.
He called back and set an appointment for 9 o'clock Friday morning.
He's wearing a turban and a scarf and gloves.
And I thought, well, you know, I've seen a couple of weirdos.
He didn't act nervous at all.
He was just as cool as he could be.
He said he just went in and made a deposit.
Clearly the cab driver wasn't in on it.
Okay.
And I know you're trying to understand the why in this situation.
And we have to stop looking for the why.
It's the what.
Or should I say the where.
One word
Two or three syllables depending on how you pronounce it
Flo-ri-da
Please give Elijah Shelton
The biggest CR
You don't want to play a game?
No I don't want to play a game

So we can't play the game because I don't know what this is.
Because I looked it up, right?
And it was like, if you look up the name Elijah.
Oh, so you're cheating.
No, no.
I just looked up Elijah.
He always cheats.

There's something happening here. my goodness alright when we come back
we have coach Jesse and Dr. Amun
joining us right
yes from the detox now
so this will be interesting information about the vaccine
as we're all arguing about what's going on
with getting vaccinated
and also we're going to talk about detoxing
because a lot of people ask me about this detox
and we'll have some more information and you guys can perhaps join.
Yeah, they have the detox now.
I usually do that once or twice a year and this cleans out everything in the body and I lose a lot of weight doing it.
So we'll talk to them next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests joining us this morning.
From Detox Now, we have Coach Jessie and Dr. Amun.
Hey.
The Detox Now.
Y'all know that I always swear by this detox.
And the reason why I do, and I just want to put this out there, is so many, I've done it,
but a lot of people I know personally have done it and it's helped them.
We saw it during Ashanti's verses.
She actually did the detox and talked about it during the verses.
Yeah, I think the best evidence is y'all, too.
Y'all look younger than the last time I seen y'all.
Man, I was going to talk.
It's okay if I tap you on the shoulder?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I take that as a compliment.
I mean, it's been a rough year, but I guess just trying to live that lifestyle.
We had a conversation on the phone when I reached out to you
to make sure that you and the family was doing well.
And again, it's just a lifestyle.
And if you're living right, even with this pandemic
and through the pandemic, you find that, you know,
you get the benefits and that's all we can say.
We're just trying to keep our head above water, man.
Now I ask everybody this question and I want a real honest answer. It's a simple question, but I need an honest answer. How are you?
Well, it's been rough. Honestly, I'm so grateful that we have the community and the lifestyle that we preach.
And really, it was an opportunity to say, are you going to practice what you preach in the middle of a real storm? Right.
Personally, at the top of January 2020, I actually know for certain
I contracted COVID-19, coronavirus. But remember, I have pre-existing conditions because of all of
the fibroid surgeries I had. I have something called immunosuppression. So my immune system
is compromised because of it, okay? So not knowing any of this, nothing has been known,
I was down for two months in terms of severe, severe symptoms.
And I'm like, why? Something's really wrong.
Then it came out about the virus.
And then with everything that erupted with George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and, you know, cortisol is a chemical reaction in our body right and when we look at the implications of being black
here in the world and in America we already live around walk around in this
inflammatory state because we're always in a trauma state right but then there
are things that take it to what we call skyrocket levels right and when that
happened now mind you I live clean I eat clean, everything I practice and I preach to my clients, I developed an aneurysm.
Wow.
Today, I'm not going to get emotional.
Today is actually nine months to the day I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm.
Wow.
And that was from the implications of the radical cortisol, the stress trauma on our bodies here.
We're quarantined, everything happening with our kids. Right.
And then on top of that, now, because my body had the immunocompromised state because of all of the feet of small intestine that have been cut out of my body from the previous surgeries.
Again, this is why we do what we do, educating and empowering women.
I didn't know, had I not known this, my life would not have been even saved, first of all, right?
So then, make it worse, I remember the day, August 12th, I'm in the hospital, and thank God,
you know, I preach, listen to your body. I had what you would consider the worst headache of your life. I woke up that morning, and all I could say is, I said a prayer, oh my God. And I had what you would consider the worst headache of your life. I woke up that morning and all I could say is I said a prayer.
Oh, my God.
And I had an interview that morning, but I said, God, what's going on?
And I heard the word aneurysm.
And that was like out of nowhere.
I emailed my doctor.
He said, go to the ER because I have a preexisting kidney condition that makes me even more at high risk for aneurysms.
And sure enough, I remember them walking into this. They said, Mrs. Thompson, they had to put
me on the monitor to keep my blood pressure under control so that it wouldn't cause it to rupture.
All right. They said, you have a significant aneurysm. And from there, I thought, OK,
this is going to be taken care of rapidly because
it's an emergent state, right? But here it is. I actually had to deal with medical bias
in the hospital where I had to try to convince the neurosurgeon to prioritize my case. They
wanted to send me home, come back in eight days to have this surgery. Now, you know, if I'm Becky,
all I have to do is to have some little Becky tears tears and oh, we're going to fit you in right away. And I just said, listen, I will go as soon as you get my pain under control, because then we know we can control my blood pressure. And he said, oh, sure, no problem. Days later, my pain level is still level 20. Blood pressure, they've had to come in and give me IV intervention of blood pressure. Now, I knew I had played the movie forward.
I said, if I go home and my pain is untreated, right,
and my blood pressure cannot be controlled,
that thing's going to rupture and nobody can help me at home.
I will be dead, right?
How many of our people would have gone home?
And Dr. Amun, he got COVID too.
Yeah, I mean, I don't have a story like that.
I can't tell that story. How are you, brother? No, I mean,
I was doing great for the whole year. I was basically just going to work with my business,
coming home. But I was around certain people that did not take the virus seriously. I just
remember sitting down and having some pineapples and mangoes in front of me. And I was like,
I can't smell these things. And then when I of me. And I was like, I can't smell these things.
And then when I started eating them, I was like, I can't even really taste them.
And then that night I had a fever that was like, whoa.
When I got the test, came back positive.
So I put together a little cocktail.
What was in it?
I had some D3.
I had some zinc.
I had some selenium.
I had some vitamin C.
And then some of the other supplements that that we had so it was like a nice
little concoction i put to myself so after 10 days i went back got retested came back negative
i waited another 10 days and then i did the antibody test with the blood now i want that
to come back positive because i want the antibodies there which it did come back positive
so apart from that i was like okay i've had my
covid experience and what that did it compelled me to say get back in these books i need to start
revamping i need to start reformulating i need to start restudying researching for me i had a very
mild case of it so i was fortunate but i wouldn't wish this on somebody who has you know who might
be suffering asthma or other health conditions so that's why on somebody who has, you know, who might be suffering with asthma or other health conditions.
And you guys are super healthy.
So that's why you're fortunate that, you know, for yourself.
Now, let me ask you this.
You guys got vaccinated?
No, I haven't.
Okay.
So, Dr. Amun, you haven't.
I did.
I just got actually the second dose about two weeks ago, a week and a half ago.
I thought that goes against everything holistic.
Right.
That's what I was saying.
This is a very important conversation.
The thing is that when you say holistic, right,
I feel what people have to understand is that we still have
science that we have to deal with.
So if there was a plant or a herb
that is out there to prevent
or to substitute a vaccination
or eliminate COVID,
then hey, please inform me
because I don't know about it and I'm a herbalist.
So I have to be real
now even the concoction that i made i shared that with friends and family even my neighbor and they
were calling me dr i'm a man that worked wow man you saved my life i had hundreds of calls because
that went around now i could take that and say hey don't get the vaccine. I got the formula here. But that wouldn't be the way
how science works. You see what I'm saying? Because there's millions of people out there
that didn't take my cocktail. And guess what? They recovered from COVID. Right. So what we have to do
and what we want to do today is just present the misinformation and education about vaccinations, right?
About the virus.
We're not here to say we're pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine.
We're not here to say anything besides we just need to educate ourselves with science
because science and the data is going to eliminate all this misinformation
that's out there circling through our community, especially the black community.
All right, we have more with Coach Jesse and Dr. Amun.
When we come back, you know, from Detox Now,
it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Coach Jesse and Dr. Amun Yee.
Well, Dr. Amun, are you getting vaccinated?
I'm not against it.
I'm not against it, seriously.
And again, like I'm trying to say
to people
and you made a great point
Charlemagne
about holistic
and herbalist
and I think
people have to understand
is that
herbs is provided
by nature
but it's also
backed up by science
you see what I'm saying
you have different types
of herbs
different parts
of the plants
so science is always there
and one of the things
that I think
we suffer in our black community is the miseducation.
OK, we don't get the resources like the STEM schools in our communities.
You don't get pamphlets. You don't get the encouragement.
Our community to be leaders in the science world.
And that's what's going to, you know, break that distrust, because should we feel apprehensive? Absolutely.
As black people, come on.
This is the same institution that is, that's killing us.
Now you're telling us we got a cure, you know, or we've got a solution.
But, you know, what's important also is that we have to,
we have to be intentional to make sure that that fear is not radicalized
against us to keep us from making decisions that actually will save our lives.
When you look at the statistics, the percentage of white people who are getting vaccines,
they are getting it at alarming rates compared to our community.
They're coming to our community.
They're coming to take it from our community. Exactly. And we have to be, you know, there is a
real irresponsibility to me in the even in the holistic community and the conspiracy theory
community where it's like this is this is coming out to kill us. And the truth is they're not
looking at look at the facts. Look at what's happening. You know, Angela, you asked me about
getting vaccinated. And the other thing we have to think about is not just Dr. Amun has a wonderful
immune system. We're working on helping everybody to stay healthy.
But you have to also think about your community.
Right. I got vaccinated because I had to think, okay, what has the advantage in my body?
Is it the vaccine that's going to have it or the virus?
And in my scenario, the actual virus is more dangerous to me.
So I took it for my daughter. Right. i took it for my daughter right i took it for my family
yeah i mean i got half vaccinated so far my next shot is next week but it was a hard decision for
me to make also right and you know why for me to do a lot of research i really want to go back to
that point what you made about the holistic side of it too you know what's so funny this is something
i'm going to drop about
this so-called herbalist,
especially in the black community, right?
You get them to say,
well, where's your data?
Where's your proof?
Okay, go to the CDC website.
Man, that's establishment.
I ain't listening to them.
Okay.
You go on their website
and you see a product that they're selling
and they will say,
according to the CDC, because it supports what they're selling so now the CDC is a
reliable source but now you can't cherry-pick like that so if they're not
producing clinical data with clinical trials to say we have taken this amount
of people we have done this for this period of time. This is how science works.
Would you participate in a clinical trial?
Because they say enough is not enough.
African-Americans also who participate in these trials, understandably.
Understandably, right.
Now, one of the things that's going to bridge that gap is getting our generation of children educated in these fields.
That when I can look at and say, well, Charlemagne's daughter's my doctor or she's a researcher or she's a scientist and
she's telling me to take the vaccine. Let's acknowledge the fact that there is a growing number of black scientists and
physicians that are at the table right now but we're not deeply represented.
And that is gonna break down the barrier of distrust. And that is part of the reason why I do trust
coach Jesse and Dr. Amun when you guys come on the show
and I actually tried
my first ever detox.
Well, you trust me?
No, I'm only joking.
You know,
I did my first ever detox
with you guys.
Right.
And it really helped.
And then I recommended you
to so many other people
who have really,
literally called me
and Coach Jesse knows.
I always hit her like,
look, this person hit me
in my DMs.
They're having issues
with their fibroids,
whatever it is.
And now I want to make sure we talk about the detox now, because part of making sure that even if you do get infected with something, you can recover from it better because your body is more equipped and prepared.
No question.
And I'm just going to say one last thing.
And the whole point of us being here is this.
Whether you want to take the side of, I'm not going to get vaccinated.
I think my immune system is strong enough to fight it off
Well there's some information you need to know about that
Do you know that people who are vitamin D deficient
Suffers 15 times at risk more
With catching COVID
People who are zinc deficient
That's 3 to 5 times
Even more
So if you're going to take that route
Take care of your body
Of I'm going to rely on my immune
system to fight off this virus then please do the right things not just
social distancing wearing a mask washing your hands but have a clean lifestyle
like to take some sea moss drink this juice I'm glad you mentioned the sea moss
because again because of lack of scientists and we don't have our labs, there's all of this misinformation about CMOS having 92 minerals.
And, you know, it's like, come on. I mean, come on. We just got to get down to the science and the data.
You can even search it. It does have about 10 minerals, but it doesn't have 92 minerals.
I mean, there's over 24. I mean, we had a conversation on the phone about that, right?
I think you told me your brother told you he had 105. He had a CMOS+.
You know, the body only needs anything between 18 to 23 essential minerals for it to function.
So the more ingredients you have in a product, it's the more difficult and complicated for your body to digest it.
Because the detox now has been so beneficial to people.
And because my juices are a bag, drink fresh juice.
We're actually teaming up to do a detox together because
we know people want to have these juices.
And so we are going to be using the ginger, apple,
lemon, and the daily green glow
as part of this juice
detox. I'm so excited about
it because it really makes
detoxing easier.
It puts together two of the powerhouse
detox organs, which are,
it really stimulates the digestive system and the liver, right? So the digestive and liver detox,
truly you're talking about major impact. And there are studies around juicing, right? Which
you can get into, but the four key things, the reasons people say it eliminates the barriers,
the barriers that people say they, why they can't do a detox or they can't live healthy is because it's difficult the
taste or the time and then accessibility and this people say affordability right
in a portability so this is portable no prep people hate the fact that they have
to do prep right so the fact that it's already organic fresh pressed healthy
ingredients healthy and nutritious is delicious yeah it's already organic fresh pressed healthy ingredients healthy and nutritious
it's delicious right yeah it's nice it's like that tagline health is not the enemy of that's right
i love that i love that and it's only seven days there's actually uh studies done where
people have done juice fest and they're not just lost weight but also they've weeped the benefits of gut flora, what we called gut bacteria.
Right. That helps. And that's where all your digestion and your nutrients and your immune system, 80 percent of your immune system is from the gut.
So there's a lot of benefits in that skin, hair, skin, the hair and a lot of it being, you know, anti-oxygen, anti-microbe, anti-bacteria, anti-cancer, etc.
So there's a lot of benefits doing that.
I'm excited about this.
So wait, the official name.
The name is the Detox Now Drink Fresh Juice Fast.

Thank you for having us.
The Breakfast Club.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Let's go, Yee.
Come on, Yee.
Act like you got a segment to do.
I thought he was going to tease something.
He played the intro.
This is new.
It's different.
One, two, three, go. All right.
Now, J. Cole was on Kevin Durant's podcast, and he was talking to co-host Eddie Gonzalez as well, who asked him about his relationship with Drake and Kendrick and how that has evolved.
And here's what he said.
I was so competitive early on.
You know what I mean?
It's almost like working out together.
In the NBA in the past, it was like that was unheard of.
You know what I mean?
Like, why would I work out with this?
Like, I'm trying to destroy this.
You know what I mean?
Like, and that was kind of my mentality.
But as I've gotten older, I realize that, like, no one is truly my peer or can relate to what i'm going through in life more than these people right here and i
really genuinely for these dudes so like i've been trying to you know absolutely make an effort like
as time goes on to like strip the competition from me like y'all are submitted forever i'm more
interested in the relationship because i also see a time when I'm not doing it. They are all cemented forever.
Kendrick Cole and Drake are certified ghosts at this point, right?
I mean, 10 years in, we can all say that each and every one of them are legends.
Now it's just a matter of how far can they take it.
But we do like the competition.
The competition is what keeps everybody sharp, still sharp and still, right?
Yep.
Now, J. Cole also has gotten a lot of praise following his Basketball African League debut,
which was yesterday.
He's playing for the Rwanda Patriots, and they did win 83-60 over the Nigeria River Hoopers.
And, you know, he had some big NBA dreams.
Here's what he had to say.
My sophomore year of college, I had a chance to walk on at St. John's.
I missed tryouts my freshman year because I was so brand new to New York. I just got lost in the sauce. And there was a few guys that made it from
my freshman class where I was like, oh, I with him. But if he made it, I damn sure should have
made it. Like if I would have went out, I would have made the team like in my mind. And I wasn't
at this time. I was like blossoming. So I go out my sophomore year like, yo, I'm not going to miss
the boat again. And it was like maybe 60 kids at the tryouts and I was balling all right well looks like he's balling now living out all his dreams yeah he
was three three I think in two so that was his first game so I'm excited to see what J Cole does
all right now we do have a story that's breaking which I'm watching right now. Olivia Dope. Now, you know, she was on the Joe Button Network.
And she had the podcast with Mandy and with Bridget Kelly.
She's a dope DJ, too.
She's a DJ.
She's really, really dope.
Right.
And so now she's done a post.
And the post is about 25 minutes long.
So I'm trying to watch the whole thing as we're doing this, just because I want to make sure we get this right.
But she talks about why she left the show and the sexual harassment that she had to deal with as far as Joe Button.
Here's what she said.
He goes down the line to give everyone their accolades.
And then once he gets to me, the scene is edited again because he says, Olivia is unique because I want to olivia and the fans love her those words are
edited out but what's left there is me widening in my eyes in shock and embarrassment because
after he asked if i was okay and he said he would come back to lighten the mood i didn't think he
would once again reference to wanting to have sex with me joe asked if he can give me an on-air hug
my co-host said yes they insist and i slowly get up to hug him still apprehensive i give him a hug
somewhat of a distance it's unbeknownst to me until i actually watch back the episode that he
was moving his hips while he was hugging me.
Wow.
Talk about an awkward, awful work environment to have to be a part of.
And she goes down and she breaks down a lot of different inappropriate things that happened.
That was sexual harassment that she was uncomfortable with, that she expressed her discomfort with.
And so if you guys have a chance to go to her page, Olivia Dope, and watch the whole thing, she said at the end of it all, she did end up getting an attorney who reached out to his attorney to let them know she would not be returning to the show and the reasons why.
And so just really awful that you had to go through something like this.
But she said part of her healing process is being able to speak on it and discuss everything. A lot of stuff was edited out of the shows and she breaks down like minute by minute,
each second of the set where they took out certain parts
where he was saying things to her
about always wanting to have sex with her.
She also talks about when she quit the show,
how he then, I guess, went on
and said on his podcast,
anybody he hires,
he's going to want to have sex with
or something to that effect.
And she plays that on that clip.
So, Olivia, we are sending you, you know, so much strength and healing.
I know it's not easy to speak on those types of situations.
Yes.
And love, light and healing energy to Olivia.
I mean, it's a lot going on in some people's life.
It's a it's a real state of emergency.
And that's the name of Tamika Mallory's book, which is the first book off my
book and print, Black Privilege Publishing.
It's available everywhere. You buy books now.
Just want to throw that out there.
Shameless plug.
Yes, definitely.
And you know, I saw that she was saying that she
should have done some more research on what
it's like to work with this person, but you can't blame
yourself when things are, oh, this is
what I should have done. This is my fault.
It's not your fault.
That should not be happening.
All right.
And that is your rumor report.
All right.
Geesh.
All right.

anniversary that way. I wanted her to. I know it's a hard time. It's a tough time for her.
She's grieving. But I kind of wanted some positivity in her. So I talked her into
allowing us to just go out and just let her heal on her own. No kids, no family members, no phone calls.

Congratulations.

since the pandemic.
For one day only, of course.
