Starting point is 00:03:23 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 how was your weekend uh my weekend was good I I was in Orlando all weekend because my daughter is a competitive cheerleader.

Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:33 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.
Starting point is 00:06:52 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:18 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
Starting point is 00:07:41 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,
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.

Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:08:57 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
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.

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?
Starting point is 00:14:48 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.
Starting point is 00:15:06 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.

Starting point is 00:17:25 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.

Starting point is 00:18:15 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
Starting point is 00:19:00 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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.
Starting point is 00:19:56 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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
Starting point is 00:20:43 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,
Starting point is 00:20:56 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 with DeCharlamagne asking about exactly you should have played the other clip too. My thing is, even if they did have an issue,
Starting point is 00:21:29 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:43 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,
Starting point is 00:21:54 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
Starting point is 00:22:07 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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.
Starting point is 00:23:21 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.
Starting point is 00:23:27 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?
Starting point is 00:23:38 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
Starting point is 00:23:56 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?
Starting point is 00:24:10 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
Starting point is 00:24:29 celebrate him and our era together in a creative way. I could put my pride to the side.

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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:00 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,
Starting point is 00:30:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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,
Starting point is 00:31:30 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 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.
Starting point is 00:32:34 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.
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:28 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.
Starting point is 00:33:40 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
Starting point is 00:33:50 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.
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:32 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,
Starting point is 00:34:42 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:37:40 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.

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
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
Starting point is 00:39:22 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.
Starting point is 00:39:50 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 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?
Starting point is 00:40:23 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?
Starting point is 00:40:43 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.
Starting point is 00:41:07 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?
Starting point is 00:41:27 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
Starting point is 00:42:01 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.
Starting point is 00:42:30 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?
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:30 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.
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:08 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,
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:45:43 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.
Starting point is 00:45:58 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.
Starting point is 00:46:10 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.
Starting point is 00:46:20 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.
Starting point is 00:46:36 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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
Starting point is 00:48:08 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.
Starting point is 00:48:50 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
Starting point is 00:49:19 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?
Starting point is 00:49:45 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.
Starting point is 00:50:33 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
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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 were right in the beginning like that reminded me of when

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's right. Salute to Chris Rock. I wasn't here for the Chris Rock interview.
Starting point is 00:55:32 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.
Starting point is 00:55:53 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.
Starting point is 00:56:03 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.
Starting point is 00:56:17 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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
Starting point is 00:56:49 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?
Starting point is 00:56:58 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.
Starting point is 00:57:08 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.
Starting point is 00:57:18 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.
Starting point is 00:57:26 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
Starting point is 00:57:49 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.
Starting point is 00:58:06 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 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.
Starting point is 00:59:19 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
Starting point is 01:00:03 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
Starting point is 01:00:33 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
Starting point is 01:01:09 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.
Starting point is 01:01:29 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.
Starting point is 01:01:46 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. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

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.
Starting point is 01:04:56 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.
Starting point is 01:05:14 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. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:50 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.
Starting point is 01:06:14 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
Starting point is 01:06:35 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.
Starting point is 01:07:02 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
Starting point is 01:07:31 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
Starting point is 01:08:14 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
Starting point is 01:08:51 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
Starting point is 01:09:26 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.
Starting point is 01:10:08 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
Starting point is 01:10:34 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.
Starting point is 01:10:57 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.
Starting point is 01:11:18 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
Starting point is 01:11:32 You don't want to play a game? No I don't want to play a game You don't want to play a game? I don't want to play a game because I'm not sure what this guy is. I want to play a game. He looks a little miscellaneous in the face. Dan, bring me his picture again, Dan. I want to play a game.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Wait a minute. Dan, let me see. Oh, you put it in my phone? Let me see. Is it worth a game? I want to play a game. I don't know what this is. You know what that is, Dan? I don't know what this is. You know what that is, Dan?
Starting point is 01:12:07 I don't know what it is. 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.
Starting point is 01:12:18 No, I don't. 60% white, 4.2% Hispanic, 24% black, 1.8% Asian, and 0.8% Hispanic 24% Black 1.8% Asian and 0.8% Alaska Native so that's the name Elijah the name Elijah when I think Elijah I think the Honorable Elijah Muhammad so wow that's interesting I was going to go Alaska Native on this one but I don't know
Starting point is 01:12:39 he might be he got a little he look like a little Eskimo he look like a hood Eskimo hood Eskimo I'm going to send you the picture man I don't know what race it is He got a little, he looked like a little Eskimo. He looked like a hood Eskimo. I'm going to send you the picture, man. I don't know what race it is. If you, if you, if you know on YouTube, let me know when we post this on YouTube later, y'all tell us what race this is. Cause I really don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:55 He looked very miscellaneous in the face. He could pass for a number of different things. Cuban, some type of Latino, black. I don't know what this is. All right. All right. Well know what this is. All right. All right. Well, no game today. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:08 Thank you for that donkey of the day. Oh. You see him now? Yeah. It could be a little hood Eskimo. A little hood Eskimo. I'm telling you. It could be a hood Eskimo.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Got graffiti all over his igloo. 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
Starting point is 01:13:39 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.
Starting point is 01:13:58 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.
Starting point is 01:14:15 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.
Starting point is 01:14:37 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.
Starting point is 01:14:53 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
Starting point is 01:15:26 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
Starting point is 01:16:09 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.
Starting point is 01:16:47 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?
Starting point is 01:17:31 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
Starting point is 01:18:05 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?
Starting point is 01:18:57 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.
Starting point is 01:19:25 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.
Starting point is 01:19:40 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
Starting point is 01:20:17 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.
Starting point is 01:20:34 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,
Starting point is 01:20:47 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.
Starting point is 01:21:04 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.
Starting point is 01:21:46 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.
Starting point is 01:22:08 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
Starting point is 01:22:25 to people and you made a great point Charlemagne about holistic and herbalist and I think people have to understand is that
Starting point is 01:22:32 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
Starting point is 01:22:39 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.
Starting point is 01:22:59 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,
Starting point is 01:23:31 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.
Starting point is 01:24:07 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
Starting point is 01:24:44 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.
Starting point is 01:24:57 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
Starting point is 01:25:21 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
Starting point is 01:25:53 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,
Starting point is 01:26:09 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
Starting point is 01:26:17 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.
Starting point is 01:26:35 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
Starting point is 01:26:55 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
Starting point is 01:27:10 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.
Starting point is 01:27:51 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
Starting point is 01:28:16 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,
Starting point is 01:28:42 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.
Starting point is 01:29:29 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. Woo! And I'm going to start it.
Starting point is 01:30:01 And listen, I decided I'm going to do this too. I'm going to pay for five people to do it with us. Yay! Oh, okay. Where do they sign up? Oh, it's exclusively at where? Drinkfreshjuice.com and thedetoxnow.com. We're going to do a private club and a member club to actually help people to get it to the end.

All right, it's Coach Jessie and Dr. Am are the supplements in here that you take. Yay! All right. It's Coach Jesse and Dr. Amun. Thank you very much for coming to the Breakfast Club. Thank you for having us.
Starting point is 01:30:52 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.
Starting point is 01:31:14 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.
Starting point is 01:31:32 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.
Starting point is 01:31:41 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.
Starting point is 01:32:19 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.
Starting point is 01:32:42 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.
Starting point is 01:33:30 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.
Starting point is 01:33:52 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
Starting point is 01:34:40 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,
Starting point is 01:35:28 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
Starting point is 01:35:41 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.
Starting point is 01:36:03 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
Starting point is 01:36:19 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.

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.
