Starting point is 00:03:20 Ali, what up, bro? Duval! Already. Hey, listen, I got a question for y'all. Yes, sir. And I just want to hear your opinion about this. It's amazing how white people could call black people the N-word.
Starting point is 00:03:33 It's not a big deal. Black people could call white people Crocker-ass Crocker. It's not a big deal. But when somebody speak their opinion about the LGBT community, that's a big uproar. And that's just somebody speaking their opinion about the LGBT community, that's a big uproar. And that's just somebody speaking their opinion about that. I'm just trying to see what's the big uproar. If everybody have their opinion, let them speak their opinion.
Starting point is 00:03:54 If that's what they want to do, let them do that. They should embrace that's what they are. And it's cool. It should be a big, dramatic uproar. And I just want to hear your opinion about that from both of y'all. Well, white people say the N-word. It is an uproar. It definitely is.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I don't know where you are. Yeah, it is an uproar. Not really. Yes, it is. People definitely have gotten fired for that. It's not an uproar like the LTV community. What the hell is the LTV? Now, that cable package you just talked about is way worse than the basic one. Now, the basic one is
Starting point is 00:04:25 LGBT. I don't know why you just got rid of the G. LGBTQ. Oh, well, I don't know the alphabets, man, but I just want to hear y'all opinion about that. Like, when Booster said his comment, it was a big overall win. Whoever said anything, what really got me was when
Starting point is 00:04:41 Williams had to apologize for what she said. It's like, come on, man. You can't have an opinion about that. Well, listen, here's the truth to the matter. You got to know who you effing with. You know what I'm saying? You slap somebody in the face, they might slap you back. You slap somebody else in the face, they might punch you and knock you out. You slap somebody else in the face, they might pull out a gun and shoot you.
Starting point is 00:04:58 You got to know who you're dealing with. That's all. And be ready to deal with them. Yeah, I just don't get it, man. Everybody should have their own opinion. There shouldn't be a big deal about it. If that's what they choose to do, that's on them. Let them embrace it and move on. So listen, why is this the first thing on your mind in the morning, though? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I just can't get it. No, yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Have a good one, bro. Yes, it is. But why does it matter how other people live their lives anyway? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:26 If it doesn't affect you, if you're not part of the LGBTQ plus community, like, why does it bother you? Hello, who's this? This is Austin. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Yeah, what I had to get off my chest, man, I feel like a lot of people, like, sitting back waiting for the government to do things instead of realize what we can do ourselves. Like I ain't had nothing a couple years ago before the pandemic. During the pandemic, it wasn't really an issue with me.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I started driving trucks for a company, bought a truck off of Facebook. I'm an owner operator, I make 14,000 a week. It's so much stuff people can do out here, better they self, because I'm trying to break a generational curse where families are growing up in apartments instead of owning homes because of the money in their cities. His phone broke up, but I agree with him. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:13 I mean, we definitely should push our government and push our national and local government to do things for us. But we definitely got to do for ourselves, too. Word to the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Do for yourself. And what he said is also right. I know a lot of people want to be rappers. They to the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Do for yourself. And what he said is also right. I know a lot of people want to be rappers. They want to be DJs.
Starting point is 00:06:29 They want to be producers. They want to be athletes. They want to get OnlyFans. There's a lot of other businesses that people can do. And driving trucks is a major business. They make a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:06:40 So really, really look into it because you think about it. One thing that didn't stop on that road was those trucks. Whether they were delivering food, whether they were delivering toilet paper and paper towels, those roads stay full with those trucks. So people still had those jobs with them trucks. Yeah. And that's why I always tell brothers, man, you go out there and learn a trade. You know what I mean? Because there's certain things that just never, ever, ever going to stop. You always need an You're going to always need a plumber.
Starting point is 00:07:05 You know what I mean? And those people, those brothers make good money. Those sisters make good money. Absolutely. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

And I thought it was so sweet how y'all gave away money because there's really some broke bitches out there. Stop calling people the N-word.
Starting point is 00:09:57 How do you guys stop calling them broke? It's some unfortunate people when it comes to their pockets in America. There you go. That's right. It's a financial struggle out here for some folks. Well, if you got it, you want to lend? You want to give some money to some people? Heck no.

Starting point is 00:12:11 How y'all doing? What's up, Reckless TV? Get it off your chest. I wanted to speak about college. I did trade school. I did two years for HVAC and electricity. And I can work anywhere in the United States. I'm 23 years old and nobody's doing trade no more. Everybody's trying to be doctors and lawyers.
Starting point is 00:12:29 So right now, trade school is the best thing you can do. I agree. After I graduated, my teacher came to me and said I should go for another four years, and I'd be guaranteed to make six figures, and I can go anywhere in the United States. So trade school is popular right now because ain't nobody really doing it and everybody needs help with HVAC and air conditioning. Yeah, exactly. I met this guy the other day, I think when I was in D.C., man,
Starting point is 00:12:55 he ran up on me and he was like, man, thank you for always talking about trade school because I went to trade school and I've been gainfully employed for 40 plus years. There you go. I forgot what he said he did. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Starting point is 00:13:09 It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine. I own this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? Be part of a great colonial tradition. What could go wrong? I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that?
Starting point is 00:13:57 Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs,
Starting point is 00:14:25 and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:05 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. Wake that ass up in the morning. Check out this Breakfast Club Rewind. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Stephen A. Smith. Welcome, brother. What's going on, man? Good morning. Good morning. Hey, Ange, how you doing? Charlamagne, what's up? What's up, my brother? Good to see y'all. Man, you got a new show coming on ESPN? Another one? You know, listen, you know, it's going to be called Stephen A's World, and, you know, it's just a half-hour
Starting point is 00:16:47 show on streaming. ESPN Plus is obviously a big priority for them. First year, Disney Plus had 86 and a half million subscribers. ESPN Plus had 11 and a half. So, obviously, they want to buffer those numbers, and they came to me
Starting point is 00:17:03 and asked me to do this. And I've known about this since last year, which is why I gave up my radio show, because this was forthcoming. What makes me excited about this is a couple of things. Number one, I'm looking to bring a bit more lightheartedness and levity to certain situations and just, you know, show the lighter side of me to some degree and really celebrate what other people are doing. But the other thing that I'm excited about is that I'm not only the host of this, I'm the executive producer. And I started my own production company a few months ago, Mr. SAS Productions, and it will be co-producing this in concert with ESPN. So essentially, not only am I the host, but I'm the boss. And I'm just trying to set that example and do what I can to shine. So I put other people in position
Starting point is 00:17:46 to shine as well. When we first started the interview, you didn't sound like the normal Stephen A. Smith from Queens. You sounded a little somber. And I know it's because what we've seen that happened on Capitol Hill. So what were your thoughts of seeing that? Well, first of all, you know, as a black man, let's just call it what it is. If those were black people marching up on Capitol Hill, they'd have got shot. But also what jumped to my mind, I turned and watched Trump's entire speech. And if he didn't dog whisper, it was even stronger than that. He told them to go to the state Capitol. He told them to stop this. He told them to essentially engage in insurrection. And so for me, to have a sitting president of the United States be so flagrantly divisive
Starting point is 00:18:34 and willing to harm congressional and Senate figures, I don't know how much more egregious it gets. And I think it's a blight on our country for years to come. And it's just really, really bad. But if we're honest about it, it's unfortunate. It's sad, but we ain't surprised. How hard is it to go on air today and not talk about what happened yesterday at the Capitol? Or do y'all plan to talk about it? I wouldn't know, Charlamagne, because there ain't no way in hell I'm going on the air and not talking about it.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Is there ever a pushback at ESPN when it comes to sports and politics? Because I know it has been in the past. Well, let me tell you this. This is the part and people in the past, I'm not going to mention any names, but here's where they mess up. Obviously, me being in the position that I'm in, it's not like I'm just speaking
Starting point is 00:19:19 to the supervisor. I mean, the president and I talk every week. You know, the executive VPs of ESPN and I talk every week. You know, the executive VPs of ESPN and I talk every week. I kind of know them. And they have never said, don't talk politics definitively. What they said is, leave the political expertise to the political experts. And more importantly, give the audience what they expect to see. If we're ESPN, we're a sports network. Don't avoid sports to talk about these other things. Find a way to interweave sports within the political and social conversation. And because people had a problem with the mandate to not just go directly
Starting point is 00:20:02 in the politics, you've had some people that have expressed dismay over that, but I've never had a problem with it because anytime something developed and I felt the need to talk about it, I simply let them know. The other thing that the mandate was is that you work for us. We pay you. Why the hell are you expressing
Starting point is 00:20:20 yourself on Twitter for free when we're giving you this platform and we're paying you to use it? Use it here. I don't see a problem with that. You're talking about Jemele Hill. No, no, no. Not just her. I can't think of too many people at ESPN who even had, you know, that type of energy other than Jemele in the past. There was a bunch of them, believe it or not. And believe it or not, I was shocked with this, Charlamagne. There's a whole bunch of white folks at ESPN that have very, very passionate feelings and obviously some on the other side. And they want to express it even more
Starting point is 00:20:51 because they see us expressing it. What I'm saying is, is that what I get and I'll address this directly because I love Jamel. She's a friend, Kerry Champion. I know she's a friend, Michael Smith. You know, all of these, they did great. I miss them. I wish they were still at the network. I don't apologize about that. But what I'm saying to you is that I would say the same thing to you now that I've gotten to know you. If I saw you doing something that I said, I said, yo, man, this could ultimately squash you and get in the way of the bigger picture. You too important. I would sit up there and say to you,
Starting point is 00:21:27 do you really want to mess that up because of a tweet? Why not use your airwaves? Think about the marathon, not the sprint. That's real. We're just asking, what's one thing you would leave the house for? It's... Wake that ass up in the morning. Check out this Breakfast Club Rewind. We're just asking, what's one thing you would leave the house for? Charlemagne said he would leave the house right now to get a haircut. Hey, Charlemagne, I agree with you, man.
Starting point is 00:21:53 My hair look like Charlemagne's right now. Your hairline look like it's socially distancing from your forehead? No, it look like Project Grass, Charlemagne. Project Grass. Your hair look like Project Grass. I'm not gonna lie, my hair look like trap house carpet this weekend but i put the jamaican castor oil with the monistat seven in it and i combed it out and it look all right taking you back right back with the classic rewind it's the breakfast club i thought this was a podcast the breakfast club is on if you miss the breakfast club you don't come from my
Starting point is 00:22:22 world it's dangerous Check out this rewind. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Stephen A. Smith. I know you got to get up out of here. My final question, do you have a desire for people to see who you are beyond the sports? Yeah, to some degree.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Only from the standpoint that, you know, again, I don't want to pigeonhole myself. I don't want to be somebody that's just about sports. You know, when people, I remember when, and I told, and I tell, you know, my white bosses this a lot of times, I've said this to them a lot of times, white folks come to work with a job to do every day. We come with a responsibility. What I mean by that is I remember when Trayvon Martin got shot, I'm walking down the streets and black folks walking up to me, Stephen A, you got to touch on this. Stephen A, you got to say this. That wasn't a sports story, but they said it was necessary. And then when the Miami Heat put on their hoodies, they really say, you got to touch on this. Now I was going to anyway, but they were telling me that. White folks don't hear that. You don't see white folks going up to other white folks saying that you got to do it. So understanding that black folks feel that way, why do they feel that way?
Starting point is 00:23:29 It's not because of me. It's because of the position that I'm in. I have a platform that most of us don't have. And so what they're doing is calling upon me to bring light and to bring attention to things just the same way you might ask an athlete to, if not more so. Now with the athlete, you're asking them to say something and be more so. Now with the athlete, you're asking them to say something and be active in that regard. With me, you're not only asking me to say something, you're asking me to be that conduit for others to speak as well, to make sure that I provide the platform for others that need to be heard to be heard. And I take that role very, very seriously. I don't feel compelled to agree with any damn body and say what I don't feel. But I do feel compelled to make sure that even if you disagree with me, if you speak for a vast majority of us, you need to be heard.
Starting point is 00:24:12 And so what I try to do is make sure that I do that. And in that regard, that's where I look at myself beyond the world of sports, using sports to extend myself beyond it to address more deeper issues enlightening myself educating myself either by reading more watching more learning more but more importantly connecting myself with people I know no stuff so they will educate me as well and I had one question too I wanted to ask about LeBron purchasing putting together a team to purchase the Atlanta team what do you think that could do for the WNBA? And how do we uplift the WNBA more so that they can make more money,
Starting point is 00:24:49 get more endorsements, more people watch? I love it because I think that LeBron is pretty brilliant with a lot of the things that he does. And obviously he's conscientious. And I think him owning the WNBA team is more about getting it away from Lefler, the Senate figure that just lost in Georgia to Warnock. So I think that's what it's about for him more so than anything else. And I applaud his position on that. What I would say is this though, and I'll say this
Starting point is 00:25:16 respectfully to all of those females out there, you know, the fellas, we got NBA, we got NFL, we got major league baseball, we got the boxing, we got the UFC, we got all of that. These women have been out there busting their tail for years trying to make the WNBA into something. Last time I checked, when you are successful in terms of ingratiating yourself with the average consumer out there, you usually are successful because you found a way to ingratiate yourself with that female audience. For some reason, females are not supporting the WNBA enough because if they were, the WNBA would be far more successful than it is. So rather than folks talking about what the WNBA needs, how about the WNBA highlighting in the eyes of women out there Excuse me, we need all the support we can get
Starting point is 00:26:06 From y'all, because when females Step up and support you, you win I agree Steven, we appreciate you for checking in Steven A. Smith, thank you for checking in Thank you Steven A.'s World debuts Monday, this Monday, January 11th

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking 800-585-1051. Now, when you guys are having dinner, do you think that the husband should be served before the children at the dinner table? That is the question. Let's start with you, Ye. I mean, I don't have any kids or husbands, so that's hard for me to say.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I just think about growing up, how did it happen in my house? And I feel like my mom made our food and my dad got his own. Like, he'll just get his food himself, and then my mom will give us ours, and then when we got old enough, everybody just got their own food. Yeah, in my crib in Queens, I mean, I was the only child. We all ate together. So it wasn't like somebody prepared the food first. It was my mom called us down.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Why the hell are you going back to childhood? Like you ain't got a whole wife and kids to talk about. She just said when she grew up. Oh. Now, it's usually my wife will fix my plate while I fix the kids' plates. Or I'll fix mine and my wife's plate while she makes the kids' plate. But the youngest one always gets their food first because we usually got to cut it up.
Starting point is 00:31:08 We got to chop it up. Yeah, I feel like my mom did the cooking, so my dad kind of, you know, got his own stuff because she was still getting everything together. No, in my career, it was definitely the youngest kids eat first. I got a 2-year-old about to be 3-year-old and a 6-year-old. They get served first. And then after that, it's kind of just like a free fall. You know what I mean? We got a 13-year-old about to be three-year-old and a six-year-old they get served first and then after that it's kind of just like a free fall you know what i mean we got a 13-year-old she on her own
Starting point is 00:31:29 you gotta fix your own damn plate even though my wife still fixes her plate but she definitely gets served last last after the other kids and then yeah i just i get in the mix at some point either i mix fix my own plate and my wife fix my own plate and and the wife and my wife eats with the kids so technically me and my 13-year-old the last to eat now my wife is my own plate. And my wife eats with the kids. So technically, me and my 13-year-old are the last to eat. Now, my wife is usually the last to eat because she's usually helping me cut the food up or she's making sure the kids... Your wife don't eat with the young kids.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Like, my wife eats with the young kids. Like, she serves them and she makes her plate and then she goes sits with them and eats. My wife has this huge phobia of the kids choking. Say, me too! Like, huge, huge. And shout to... There was a DJ
Starting point is 00:32:05 whose kid he passed away. He choked on some chicken nugget. So after that story, my wife is like very serious. My kids can't eat in the car. If my kids are eating, somebody adult has to be there with them. My kid has a phobia of that. So she usually sits with them to make sure
Starting point is 00:32:21 that they eat. So she usually eats last. But my wife eats with them. So it's like two youngest kids get their plate fixed. My wife fixes her plate, sits with them and eats. And then it's like, you know, me, I'm either working out or my oldest daughter is at cheerleading practice or something. So we're always the last to eat. Do you guys ever cook?
Starting point is 00:32:38 And then serve the family? Why would I do that? We just talked about kids choking. Why would I ever want to cook my kids a meal? I can't cook. I do the breakfast. I do the breakfast. I'm the breakfast guy. I do the French toast, the pancakes, the sauces, the eggs, the bacon. That's me. I do breakfast? We just talked about kids choking. Why would I ever want to cook my kids a meal? I do breakfast. I do the breakfast. I'm the breakfast guy.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I do the French toast, the pancakes, the sausage, the eggs, the bacon. That's me. I do breakfast. I know my lane. I'm terrible in the kitchen. I'm good money on breakfast. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I heard about your turkey sauce. You heard about my sausage. I don't eat pork, sir. Hello. Who's this? This is Charlene from Detroit. Hey, Charlene. What up, dog?
Starting point is 00:33:03 What up, D-Dog? How you doing? I'm good. Hello, fabulous team and Charlene. Detroit. Hey, Charlene. What up, dog? What up, D-J-M-B. How you doing? I'm good. Hello, Angelique and Charlene. Hey. Peace, queen. How you? Now, do you think that the husband should be served before the children at the dinner
Starting point is 00:33:13 table, mama? No, sir. The husband should be served after the little ones. I agree. You serve your husband. You serve your husband. But you serve him after you serve the little ones because they can't serve themselves. That's right.
Starting point is 00:33:26 They can serve themselves. Especially the little ones. Like we said, you got to chop up their food and all that. So, yeah. There you go. Yeah. If he can't wait to eat, then he needs to fix his own. That's right.
Starting point is 00:33:37 And as a man, I don't want to be eating before my kids. You know what I'm saying? Like you sitting down eating and the kids looking at you while you eating, waiting to eat. No, let the kids eat first. Now, I know at one time, I think that was the thing because I know there was always this thing where the man got the chicken breast and then the kids got the other thing. The big piece of chicken. Yeah, the big piece of chicken. You got that from Chris Rock.
Starting point is 00:33:57 No, but that was a fact though because my dad usually got the big piece of chicken. Well, you should. He's the man. Right. Well, that's what it is. Eat more. You're probably the biggest person in the house. The biggest person in the house should get the largest portion.
Starting point is 00:34:07 But now, if that was the case, Logan is. Logan should get the big piece of chicken. He's the man of the goddamn house. If you can slam your daddy, Logan can slam his daddy. If you can slam your daddy, you get the big piece of chicken. Salute to Big Logan. We don't call him Lil' Logan. That's Big Logan. I've seen your back on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Hey, yo. Why you looking at that boy back, man? You post it. Hello, who's this? It's Angeline. Hey, Angeline. Good morning. Good morning. Now, who do you think should be served first, the husband or the children?
Starting point is 00:34:37 The husband typically gets served first. He's the one who goes out into the world typically. I mean, the women are going out into the world too now. I know, that's right. It's customary and traditional that the husband goes out, he comes in, he gets his plate first. I think it's an age thing too because if you got older kids, like if you got young kids, the young kids probably get served first and then the mom sits and eats with them. But if you got older kids in their teenage years, then yeah, probably daddy, then the kids.
Starting point is 00:35:03 But you know, it's interesting that you say that because I'm looking at it now and thinking about this and it feels like it'd be nice for guys to sometimes cook for the family. There's nothing like a guy who can cook and kind of serve the family since women, it feels like calling in this tradition, it would be a nice thing to
Starting point is 00:35:20 kind of switch it up. But I don't have time for all of that. I mean, like Ebony K. Williams said when she was here, Ebony said, you know, if she's the curator at a house, meaning that she's going to have the home-cooked meals there and she's going to curate the house,
Starting point is 00:35:31 she'll do all of that. Well, I'm not saying every day, but it just feels like it might be something nice to try. I just don't have time. I do breakfast on the weekends.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Weekends is my time. My kids love my breakfast, so I mean, I do breakfast. My wife does it throughout the week, but I do breakfast. I love doing breakfast. My kids love helping me cook breakfast.
Starting point is 00:35:46 So breakfast is my team. And if you're really on the go as a husband, depending on what time you get home, you can't cook for your kids because your kids got to eat by 6 o'clock most of the time. That's when dinner time is for young kids, right? Oh, I ain't cooking for my kids throughout the week. I work too hard. I know what I'm saying. If my wife ain't there, Uber Eats, brother.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah. Or, you know, leftovers. Or, like, I do sandwiches, man. I know what I'm saying. If my wife ain't there, Uber Eats, bro. Yeah. Or, you know, Leftovers. Or, like, I do sandwiches, man. I always can do a sandwich. My kids know if my wife ain't there, we're going to have a sandwich. Well, if you fix your kids' sandwiches for dinner. Yes. That's a damn shame.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Logan, slam his ass. That's why Logan is able to slam you. Because Logan getting good meals while you feeding the rest of the kids and eating sandwiches. Don't act like you don't have a sandwich for dinner. I don't remember that. All right. It makes me really appreciate when my man cooks for me, this whole conversation. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:30 What's the moral of the story, guys? I mean, the moral of the story is y'all got to stop holding on to so many damn traditions. Okay? You got to do what works for you. And you never know what works for you until you're in that situation. And when you're in that situation and it's 6 o'clock and the kids got to eat and then they got to take a bath by 7 and be in bed by 8, if you're not going to help with the bathing and putting them to bed,
Starting point is 00:36:50 you better fix your own damn plate and get out your wife away. Ask her to do all that. That's crazy. All right, we got more coming up next with The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:37:07 We got some special guests joining us this morning. Our folks, Miss Pat. Miss Pat. And Jordan Cooper. And Jordan Cooper. How y'all feeling, man? Good the f***ing morning. F***ing good morning.
Starting point is 00:37:18 What you doing drinking Coca-Cola? I know you from Atlanta, but damn. Miss Pat, drink some soda or something. She got coffee. Don't help the ass pretty skiing ass. I didn't even say to wake me the f*** up. from Atlanta, but damn, is Patrick some s*** or something? She got coffee and coffee. I'm just trying to wake me the f*** up. I flew in this bitch at 3 o'clock and then he had no car to pick me up. I'm tired. All them a**holes out there trying to pick me up

A whole lot of time. You ain't gonna sh**, girl. Sh**. Well, first of all, I feel like we should be celebrating, right?

You ever met Angela? No, I've never met her. But we've spoken. I read her book before, Rabbit. I've done all of that, so I'm familiar.

She waited until you got a TV show over to be here for an interview, Miss Pat. Well, some niggas like famous people. I ain't there yet. I ain't there yet. I still got my little way of bursting. I'm trying to be blacker than a mother. No, we are proud of you.

It was three networks before it landed on BET+. No, three networks, three writers, cry, tears, s***. Damn, man. I couldn't suck the right s*** in Hollywood. That's why I took five years. You know I got vertical.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I can't be sucking no extra s***. I can't do it, actually. I got high-flatged, big wig fly, think I'm Charlemagne Tha God. No. gonna be a shotty. But you are still working with Lee Daniels, so you didn't have to worry about that.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the? Wow. Trying to get a big fight. No. Whoa. I'm saying that wasn't going to happen. I'm saying Lee want me sucking his. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:09 That's what I'm saying. I already had Lee. I'm talking about other people. You already had me. How was the process though, Jordan? It was amazing. It was amazing. I like, well, it's a crazy story.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I got introduced to Pat in high school. My dad was like, you got to watch her. She's hilarious. Her story is ridiculous. So I watched it. I dad was like you gotta watch her she's hilarious her story is ridiculous so i watched it i was like dang like her story is crazy she's funny as hell she need to write a book then i wrote my play ain't no more that lee saw at the public and he was like yo i'm doing this thing with miss pat uh this comedian we don't have a concept for her uh so see if you can read this book and see if you can come up with a concept for a show and i read it and I immediately saw in my head
Starting point is 00:39:45 this sitcom with a live audience and I wanted to go back to like All in the Family, Good Times, The Jeffersons, but I wanted it to be R-rated in front of a live studio audience. Bro, you f***ing crazy. What you know about The Jeffersons and Good Times? This m****** told me to watch Lucy one night.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I'm like, Lucy in LA. I said, if you don't get me the f*** out of this theater, my panties lying awake, I'm sleeping, 10 o'clock at night. Old people bedding to bed. Lucy. No, I had her watching because I wanted her to know the history of like where every f*** was coming from. I had no f*** no history of coming from.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I don't even give a f*** about black history. Not at 10 o'clock at night, mother f***er. I'm sleeping. We up in Beverly Hills, so I'm watching Lucy. Everybody laughing. I don't dozed off like a mother f***er. Bitch, I'm sleeping. We up in Beverly Hills, so I'm watching Lucy. Everybody laughing, I don't doze off like a mother******. Bitch, I'm sleeping. I told you before you brought these to me.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Why was your panty liner wet? My panty liner's always wet. Why? Because it's a 64 Chevy, n****. I'm sorry your wife don't tell all her babies. Everybody got a little drip paint. Your shit ain't tight like the third grade. I cannot.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I will say, I don't have kids that are still pretty tight. That's what you think. Pull your underwear off and smell them. You used to have tight bitches. So did I. That is crazy. When you're fat and you don't like it you let them stick it in your navel edgelie yeah fat girl got deep navel like vaginas you like i'm getting this real
Starting point is 00:41:12 like my neighbor used to be there so fat girl we trick we don't want to really give you no we let you stick it in the navel so when when you say you f***ing know, all you did was navel. Thank God y'all ain't got to worry about cleaning this up because she curses constantly. Listen, these networks, I think at the beginning, they really wanted to put her on network TV like Fox and all this. But I didn't want it to be fake. I didn't want it to be, I wanted her to be able to be herself. So basically, Lee was like, come up with a concept, right?
Starting point is 00:41:48 And he goes to Fox and was like, yo, I got this kid, he wrote this show, I think you guys would love it. They're like, he's still in college. Ain't nobody, we're not about to do that. Fox was the first network it was attached to, right? Fox, yeah. And then Pat, whenever we met,
Starting point is 00:42:01 she called me up. I flew on my birthday to meet him. So I took his number and I said, look, Hollywood is full of shit. Everybody want to fuck the same person in Hollywood. If you get a fat black girl, I need a fat black girl. I said, so right now ain't nobody got no fat black girl. Ain't nobody calling for him. So I said, the only way you're going to get this job is you listen to me.
Starting point is 00:42:20 We need to write a strip behind your mother's back. And we wrote that fucking pile and we handed it to Lee. And so what was crazy, because he put his name on it, I said, take your fucking name off of it. And because he thought I was going to steal it. I was like, why are you going to take my name off of it? Because if it's fucked up, it's going to fall back on me, not you. And you still got a chance to get a job.
Starting point is 00:42:36 That's what Lee trying to do. And I said, everybody going to know I didn't do that. Everything's spelt right. So I gave it to Lee, and he was like, and that's how he got a job at Fox the whole look and then ended up at Hulu to write Hulu shot the pilot so who knew she okay we sell it we he takes us he wanted to do he wanted real language in it so it moves us over to Fox 21. Fox 21 sell it to Hulu. This is how much s*** we went through.
Starting point is 00:43:08 So Hulu shoots the pilot. And everybody get involved. We attached Debbie Allen. She shot, this was her first pilot since Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And we shooting the f***ing pilot, y'all. And my spirit, I said, they're not going to pick it up. Okay, we shoot it. I go on back on the road.
Starting point is 00:43:22 It took them six months to say no. That person didn't understand me, and they didn't understand this show. Who was the he? I ain't going to say who the he. Who the f*** are you talking about? It was also there. We heard through the grapevine that it was their highest tested pilot ever. Because it was a thing where I don't think that person understood why it was funny or why people would get it.
Starting point is 00:43:41 That's insane. Sometimes you have to know what you don't know. It's a white person? Of course it was a white person. You know it was a goddamn white person. White as a goddamn mayonnaise. When BET called and said, he was like, BET Plus. I said, what the fuck is BET Plus?
Starting point is 00:43:55 They gave us a 10 episode and I fuck with people who fuck with me. They was great. It was kind of better because they understood. We didn't have to explain ass and nappy hair And then we had questions about there was a joke about edges, and they were like what? What the is alopecia on black women when they move in we I was at a salon one time. My friend said,
Starting point is 00:44:30 watch my, watch my client. I watched that wig off her hair. I said, her hair fell off. I said, what the fuck happened? She said,
Starting point is 00:44:36 she got alopecia. I had never heard it. I said, the bitch got apples and peaches. Is that some new cream of nature? I've never seen alopecia in my life. I said, apples and peaches. Is that some new cream of nature? What is that? Apple and peachy. I've never seen alopecia in my life.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I said, what? Apple and peachy. But I was dead ass for real. I said, what the f*** is apple and peachy? She said, bitch, apple and peachy. When you half-filed, I said, what the f*** is this s***? You know, I'm from the hood. I'm used to the n***a.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yanking your tracks out and leave your little balls by the hair. And you put a little motherf***ing suffer eight on it and it grow back. But I ain't never took a bitch wig off and it look like that bitch went through a car wash and this bitch Bitch, you got ass and pieces. What's wrong?
Starting point is 00:45:13 What the fuck is going on with y'all? Hold on. Hold on. So after, after, um... The alopecia. Not the alopecia. I forgot my straight up thought with Pat Creepy.
Starting point is 00:45:24 That's right. All right, we have more with Miss Pat and Jordan Cooper when we come back. Don't move. It's theopecia. I forgot my straight-a-talk. I'm a bit Pat crazy. That's me. All right, we have more with Miss Pat and Jordan Cooper. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Miss Pat, comedian, and Jordan Cooper. How close of the show is about your life?
Starting point is 00:45:36 95%. So your daughter really whipped the girl's ass in school? No, that ain't true. No, she whipped him with education. That's Garyana. She's based off my daughter. She actually wrote on the show. So my daughter went to this all-white school,
Starting point is 00:45:50 and she was just whooping with knowledge. And I was like, that's why you can't get no d***, because you up here with all this black, loud mouth. What do you mean black, loud mouth? Just f***ing social justice. Calm down. You ain't going to never get no d*** at this all-white school. You're too black.
Starting point is 00:46:02 So you wanted your daughter to get d***? Ain't d*** good? Oh, I thought your daughter was a lesbian. You got two daughters. I got two daughters. Don't put the lesbian on both of my daughters. Somebody needs some Charlemagne. So you wouldn't have minded her being with a white boy?
Starting point is 00:46:14 I wouldn't mind. That's her. Okay. I can't go over there and put a stop sign in my kid's. My daughter needs some. Stop sign, you. Stop sign. What are you talking about? I'm not helping with the. Anybody who gonna my daughter. If you gonna treat her right, son. Stop, son. What the? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:25 Anybody who's gonna my daughter, if you gonna treat her right, come on by the house and. Oh, no. No. She in the basement. She in the basement. She in the basement. You gotta get her out the basement.
Starting point is 00:46:36 She too mean. That's why I'm saying, I told my daughter, I said, you ain't gonna use that gear to me, because mine be leaking. You want to trade the 64-7? Yeah, I want to trade the 64-7. For the telly. For the telly. You ain't gonna use that gear to me, because mine be leaking. You want to trade the 64 Chevy? Yeah, I want to trade the 64 Chevy.

Starting point is 00:47:07 It's ridiculous. You know what's crazy? Let me tell you about the whole casting this show. So Jordan, when he first got me, he sent me two people, which was a daddy,
Starting point is 00:47:16 and he sent me Tammy Roman. He said, this is your sister and that's your husband. So I said, that big old black is not my husband. I said,
Starting point is 00:47:24 that crazy ass woman with that bunnet on her head is not my sister. Because I didn't know Tammy. I don't watch reality TV. I don't know anything about neither one of them. So you just saw the video with the bonnet? Bonnet. And I said, that crazy ass woman. Because she was funny.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I said, that bitch crazy. And she's not my sister. He's like, yes, she is. So when it was time to audition, I kind of had this darker skinned girl. Because my sister is dark skinned in real life. And so really good at it. She came in and blow that shit away. The next day, Lee Daniels' sister doing all the casting,
Starting point is 00:47:51 she's like, you got to watch Tammy Roman. And I was like, who is Tammy Roman? And he was like, then I Googled it. I was like, she a reality star. She can't act. And he was like, she was like, yes, she can. Yes, she can. So I said, OK.
Starting point is 00:48:01 That girl walked in that mother fucker. She was that character. And I'm like, OK. okay that girl walked in that mother. She was dead character, and I'm like okay And that bitch woke that room up and the show Tammy's a recovering addict so yes, if you say your sister still yeah You ain't got to use the uppity birds. I know you're educated, Charlemagne. I know you from the street. You from North Carolina. You say, your cousin smoke, right, bitch? You ain't going to hurt my feelings.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I mean, your sister smoke. Your sister indulges in narcotics, doesn't she? No, my sister smoke narcotics. You see the show? You see the show? Who? I block them. What? You don't message your sister in real life? Who? I blocked them. What?
Starting point is 00:48:46 You don't message your sister in real life? I don't message with nobody. I had to block everybody. Everybody get my little few pen and B-E-T game me. And what did your kids say about the show? They're not blocked. You blocked them too? No, my kids live with me. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:57 My daughter wrote on the show. My other daughter did makeup. So, I mean, my whole family was, my husband was at home. He didn't come down. But, you know, where I could provide a job, I provided, my whole family was, my husband was at home. He didn't come down, but, you know, where I could provide a job, I provided a job. There you go. You didn't tell us how you came to terms with the big dude, your husband.
Starting point is 00:49:12 What made you feel comfortable with that one? It took a minute, because I had never kissed a man in over 20 years, and when, you know... What? Another man. Oh, got you, got you. Outside of her husband. I was gonna ask that. How did your husband feel about that first, when you seen that first kiss on camera? It was okay, you know, because at first, like, doing a pilot, it was really hard.
Starting point is 00:49:31 But he was so nice because he was such a great actor. And I was like, I just hated him. I could, oh, get your hands off me. You know, he's a stage actor, so he was sweet. I was like, oh, damn, I hate this man. Get him away from me. And so, you know, I didn't know him either. But what was so good about him, he was just so patient.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He never tried to push himself on me. And I just told him, I said, dude, I ain't kissed no man in 20 years. And it was literally grossing me out at the beginning. But then when we started shooting the nine episodes, you spent time with somebody. Oh, he started turning you on. Oh, he started turning you on. That panty line started to be used for a different reason, huh?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Huh? That's what it was. I said, because I'm going to slap you on the ass now. I said, it's his ass. No, I wanted to show black love. I wanted to show black love. And he showed black love. But like, this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Jay Bernard, too. Let's say his name. Jay Bernard Calloway. He's a fierce, ridiculous actor. But like, on their screen test, the two of them were... Why you blushing, Miss Pat? Why don't you make me tell your husband now? Shut the f*** up.
Starting point is 00:50:32 You gotta tell him what you're upset at after watching all those. Watching the kids, watching them slap you in the ass and all that. My husband's like, who wrote this s***? Jordan. Miss Pat, what were the conversations like for you at home after filming this because i'm sure it made you because like jordan was saying you're being more vulnerable so what happened at home
Starting point is 00:50:54 just from even filming this i think my husband you know i'm gonna be honest with you and i'll after this we had to go through counseling and i've been we i've never had to do counseling with my husband, but it was a new take on life. Your wife is stepping into the spotlight. My husband works at General Motors. He's just an ordinary dude. People started to come up to him and say,
Starting point is 00:51:16 you met Pat Hudson. He's like, no, I'm Garrett. Let me call me Miss Pat Hudson. It affected him in a certain way. I don't know if my husband felt like he was losing head of the household. You know how some men feel like, well, she don't need me anymore. And I never thought I needed counseling before. But I knew my marriage was on the rocks.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I used to tell her all the time. It's your fault, Jordan. I know. I used to tell her all the time. I was like, you need to go to therapy. You need to talk about some of this. And she was like, no, I got comedy. I ain I used to tell her all the time I was like you need to go to therapy like you need to talk about some of this and she was like no I got comedy I ain't doing no damn therapy and so literally I wrote therapy in the season I wrote that the couple that that he started therapy then they go together and she kind of starts to and that's when she started therapy
Starting point is 00:51:58 which was just a beautiful thing to watch her open up and I think you you grew a lot you say you grew a lot and I did I learned a lot about the way my husband felt which i i like i travel all the time so i would go home and it was like he would fall asleep real early uh it would be like rejection i'm like what the is wrong with him but i'm so busy trying to create a show trying to do a special do all other things and it didn't hit me until my birthday party. And my friend, Quisha, threw me a surprise birthday party, and he didn't come down. And I was like, what the f*** is my husband like? Y'all didn't invite him?
Starting point is 00:52:31 And they was like, he wouldn't come. I was embarrassed. So I called him and I said, hey, n***a, you headed for divorce court. What you want to do? Called this motherf***ing counselor my friend gave me. And we called. But in that session, which i never thought i would ever do counseling i learned so much about this man that was sitting in my house that i didn't know damn
Starting point is 00:52:52 i mean y'all been together so for so long y'all probably had to uh get to know each other all over again we really did because one point i was just waiting to die you don't need me tomorrow you mean you waited you had a health care we might not be able to get this after you croak over but is she serious though she's not even playing but you know the dynamics of your relationship changed right it did it changed you know i think it's because you know my my husband is very quiet person and then you know i'm i don't think he ever thought my career was would get like this you know really he would say he would say and i'm gonna listen to him chicken house you're going on out there and you out there just f***ing around because i worked at general motors and i worked
Starting point is 00:53:32 at four you couldn't even good job for this and i was like dude shut the f*** up it's something here because i know when it's something here for me and you know he you know he was just ready to leave he's like he thought he was like i was ready to leave i He was like, I was ready to leave. I was waiting on you to say it was over. I'm like, you going to build a castle and let another nigga come in it and keep the lights on for you? Motherfucker, you know how many times I messed out your credit card to go do a show that didn't pay me shit? You know how many times you bought me a motherfucking plane?
Starting point is 00:53:57 You know how many times you stayed at home with three sets of crack babies that I raised? You know how many times that I didn't come home and you would send me your motherfucking credit card and I took your whole paycheck for my dream? And then now I get a little money and you gonna feel like you ain't a part of it? F*** is wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:54:12 But the counselor, another black man had to set my husband down and open up his mind. Like my husband wouldn't even let me buy him nothing named brand. He wouldn't even take a vacation. If I bought that motherf***er, I don't want that. Take that back. I don't want that. We just went to Dibs. I bought a Louis Vuitton
Starting point is 00:54:27 satchel, a wallet. He took it all this time. Thank you. And you know, like when I first shot the thing, I was like, hey, I made this money. I want to give you this. I don't want your money. And I was like, he's got to look at it like it's our money, though. That's what counseling did for him to realize that we
Starting point is 00:54:43 are as one. When you keep blowing up the way you are Ms. Patton, you get all this money. Are you going to retire your husband the way Tabitha Brown did her? I sure am going to retire my husband. I already told him at the beginning of the year, the clock out. Come on home. I just put a contract on a house in Atlanta. You got them right.
Starting point is 00:54:59 My husband worked. He's been 22 years at General Motors. Why wouldn't I retire him? I've been with this man 20 something years. They never put his hands on me. Almost 30 years. I ain't never went without a meal. You see me. Do I look like I missed a meal?
Starting point is 00:55:12 No, ma'am. Shut the. I ain't never been disrespected. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch.
Starting point is 00:55:20 I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never been called a bitch. I didn't mean it like that. And they never had a light cut off. I ain't never been disrespected. I ain't never been called a bitch. I ain't never got hit in the eye on Friday.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Without this makeup on, all that hit me in my eye every Friday. Like it was a dance we were going to. So, I mean, why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I? It's your turn now because you have helped me get here when so many other people
Starting point is 00:55:43 look down on me and talk. Even his motherfucking mama. What you want with that welfare queen? I'm like, bitch, I'm giving you some food. You gonna call me a welfare queen? If I wasn't telling any lies, I couldn't be over there bringing you no food for them roaches to help you eat. I could tell that story now because she did.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I was wondering. You're going a little too far. No, let's... My goodness. All right, we have more with Miss Pat and Jordan Cooper when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Good morning. We're kicking it with Miss Pat, comedian, and Jordan Cooper. Jordan, you know, I think about you often because I've been saying over the... In the next five years,
Starting point is 00:56:21 if things don't change in America, we're going to have to move to Ghana. Yeah. And that's what your whole play was about that was what years ago how long ago was that? two years ago yeah would you see that yeah yeah absolutely absolutely this country is crazy man I think we're being tricked I ain't moving to Ghana it's hot I got hot flashes he said you already wet I can't fool with her

I'm going to fuck my booty hole. Is it maybe something you eat that comes out? She remind me of Felicia Rashad. She so bougie. I'm going to f*** my booty out. That don't mean if I put too much crushed red pepper on my pussy.
Starting point is 00:57:13 No, no. You know, what are you, 30? No, I'm older than that. Okay, well, they coming. They coming. There's going to come a time when you just going to start heating up around the neck, then it move to the t***y. And just recently, I was just telling him my f***ing hot flashes in between my legs
Starting point is 00:57:26 and it's f***ing up my panty line of strip it won't stick no more cause it's just hot down there f*** you laughing I love this Batman I'm serious you can't control
Starting point is 00:57:38 where the hot flashes go go ask your mama I bet she be around that one as well to make it hot flashes to f*** you ask your mama about her hot booty hole don't y'all know nobody out there go ask their mama about I bet she be around that. Don't make it happen. Ask your mama about her hot booty hole.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Don't y'all know nobody out there. Go ask their mama about their hot booty hole, please. So I got hot flashes in my ass now. So I'm going to call my doctor when I start. I'm like, hey, do this between my legs now. And then this shit done heated up my dick. And it shouldn't be doing this during the day while I'm on a plane next to a white man.
Starting point is 00:58:01 So it's just hot flashes. So that's why you can't move the gun. You can't move the gun because of that. But like I said. All I have to say is that's why you can't move the gun. You can't move the gun because of that. All I have to say is that's why you can't move the gun. But the...
Starting point is 00:58:10 And I wish I ain't got no pad port to do my weed. I feel like low-key we being do... I feel like it's too quiet in the White House. I voted for Biden. I voted for Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:58:23 But I feel like I don't want us to be fooled. I don't want us to think that just because the regime changes that the problems are fixed, that we ain't got no issues. The problem ain't going to never be fixed. But that's the problem. But we think it is. Ain't nobody never thought the problem was going to be fixed in this regular ass country. That's a damn lie.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I ain't never thought that. We are quieter. That's why they give you all that pandemic money I tried to show you how to get it. Listen, this is what I'm saying. No, this is what I'm saying. You trying to show them? I'm not doing that to a bitch.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Anybody else. Everybody else taking their ass to jail, too. Everybody else taking their ass to jail. He had a real business. And he was sitting in the house twirling his motherfucking finger. It affect him. Yeah. Yeah, I'm talking about real business. That's my fucking real business. And he was sitting in the house twirling his motherfucking finger. It affect him. Yeah. I'm talking about real business.
Starting point is 00:59:08 That motherfucker had a real business. But what I'm saying is that white people were so up in arms whenever Trump was in office. They've been up and on. No, they were not. White people were silent. When Obama was in presidency, they thought it was perfect. Not in my neighborhood. They thought it was perfect.
Starting point is 00:59:22 No, they didn't. Because they voted for Trump. That's why they thought it was good. What white people you been seeing? I'm talking about the white people. I grew up in Texas. So, like, I remember... Undercover races. Listen, this is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:59:35 The reason why we ain't no more in the first place was because white people, whenever Barack Obama was in presidency, it was like they weren't paying attention. It was like everything is perfect because we have this black person at the front of a thing. Right. And then when Trump was in office, all of a sudden the devil was butt ass naked in the street. And everybody was like, oh, no, we got to get the devil out of here.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Right. And then when we put Biden in, nobody's worried about the devil no more. But it's like, no, we still got a lot there. He was at the courthouse. The motherfuckers always lock you up. They were still out there. You just young. You don't pay attention.
Starting point is 01:00:05 No, I'm saying that we're not, I feel like we're not speaking up as much as we were when Trump was in office because it was in our face. ain't nobody out there telling people to,
Starting point is 01:00:11 did you see the last motherfucker we had? He was outspoken and crazy. That's what I'm saying. He was entertaining. He was entertaining. So you woke up to turn on the TV
Starting point is 01:00:19 with the fuck this crazy man with the fuck the weed gonna do this week. There's no more of that. All Biden got is motherfucking Botox up on his eyes looking like a baby ass. You see all that Botox?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Biden, if you don't stop Botoxing your eyes, you gonna die and your eyes gonna still be alive. Have you not seen his eyes look like a school ass? It don't work for no reason. I said, what is he wearing to wrinkle up on his eyes? He got that good Botox, too. Like $3,000 a needle. Because them eyes are smooth like a baby's ass.
Starting point is 01:00:51 White dude, you ever seen him buying eyes? Look back at your eyes. He got a ton of Botox. He can't even smile no more. It's just the eyes stay open. I've been sleeping with my eyes open. So that's why you ain't hurting. He ain't never getting Botox. His eyes stay open. I've been seeing his eyes open. So that's why you ain't heard nothing. He ain't never give me no talks.
Starting point is 01:01:07 But that's what I'm saying. I feel like we got the same heat that we had when Trump was in office. We got to keep that heat. We got to keep that. That's right. We still being locked up. We still being killed. That's right.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Keep that heat. Keep that heat. It's the day. Today. It's the day. Yeah, he did. I told him about the thumb joke. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Okay. I'm good. I watched the first. Are y'all going to watch it with your kids? No. That's why we call it the Grown Folks Income. But I've done some of the things that you've done before. Like, I had to turn off the Wi-Fi in the crib when my son went a little too crazy with the game.
Starting point is 01:01:36 And so there's a couple of things. But, yeah, I enjoyed it so far. And I just want to say thank you. Miss Pat always checks up on me, and I appreciate it. Same. I appreciate you. I'm a real nigga. Hey, I'm not here.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
Starting point is 01:05:46 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 01:06:33 This is Marlon Wayans and I'm rocking with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. This is The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, yeah. You don't hear the date.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Yeah, you dumbass. You don't hear the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man.
Starting point is 01:06:59 They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day goes to Matt Rowan. Who is Matt Rowan?
Starting point is 01:07:13 He is an announcer for high school basketball in Oklahoma. He was calling a game last Thursday, last Thursday night. And one of the teams participating in the game were the Norman High School girls basketball team Team. Drop on the clues bombs for the Norman High School Girls Basketball Team. Okay, the Norman High School Girls Basketball Team decided to take a knee in protest. We all know what taking a knee means in sports. It's a gesture made famous by Colin Kaepernick to protest against police brutality and racism. Can't think of too many things that piss off white supremacists more than taking a knee during a national anthem. Now, a lot of white supremacists try to mask their racism and bigotry under the guise of being patriotic. They say if you take a knee during the national anthem, you are being unpatriotic. But we all know it has nothing
Starting point is 01:07:58 to do with the lack of respect they think you're showing for the red, white and blue and everything to do with the lack of respect that they have for the black period. Don't believe me? Well, let's look at Exhibit A. Matt Rowan, announcer who was calling the game for an online broadcast on the NFHS network when he saw the protest. He had some words for the Norman High School basketball team and he didn't realize his microphone was on. Let's go to CBS News for the report, please. A hot mic caught a sports announcer using a racist slur during a high school basketball game in Oklahoma. They haven't split the flag?
Starting point is 01:08:35 Come on, boy. It happened when the team from Norman High School knelt during the national anthem Thursday night. The local school system has severed ties with him. I couldn't really hear what the slur was. Do you have an isolated? They have a slur in the flight? Come on, Mark. Okay, now, kneeling is in protest to racism and police brutality,
Starting point is 01:09:01 which usually goes hand in hand. But if I'm kneeling to protest racism, and response to my kneeling is they're kneeling. Effing niggers. Aren't you proving us right? OK, don't ask why we kneel when your response in 2021 to me kneeling is you calling me the N-word. I don't claim to be the smartest man in the world. I've said it a million times on this radio. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest Avenger. But man, oh man, if y'all want people to stop kneeling, stop protesting, then stop giving them things to protest and kneel about. Okay? Now that's only the first part of Donkey today. There's a couple of reasons he's getting donkey.
Starting point is 01:09:37 One is for the blatant racism. Second is for the statement he put out apologizing. Would you like to know what his excuse was for calling these girls the N-word? Let's go back to CBS News for the report, please. The announcer, Matt Rowan, later blamed his remarks on his diabetes and a blood sugar spike. The local school system has severed ties with him. Huh? High blood sugar? Diabetes?
Starting point is 01:10:01 Really? Your blood sugar levels are very low compared to your blood mayonnaise levels okay type 1 diabetes this is type 1 racism okay i didn't know racism was a side effect of diabetes i don't know how because there's nothing sweet about racism by the way last time that i checked black americans had higher rates of diabetes than white americans so can we use diabetes as an excuse to be bigots i mean i had to Google the side effects of diabetes. I see foot ulcers, cardiovascular disease, vision impairment, gum disease, fatigue, strokes, nerve damage, but nothing about racism, nothing about bigotry. In Matt's statement, he said, I suffer from type one diabetes. And during the game,
Starting point is 01:10:41 my sugar was spiking and I became disoriented and i often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful when i'm in this state i do not believe that i would have made such horrible statements absent my sugar spiking let's unpack this as my therapist says number one matt you said in your statement that you often say things that are inappropriate as well as hurtful when your sugar is spiking so this wasn't an isolated incident okay because you said this happens often all right this is what you do on the regular and you said i do not believe that i would have made such horrible statements i do not believe what do you mean you do not believe if i ask you not to do something yes or no is the only answer that suffice if you tell me you don't believe
Starting point is 01:11:23 you would do something i can't trust that matt why can't you trust yourself that you wouldn't call black people n words if your blood sugar level wasn't spiking i'll tell you why because you're a racist that's it and furthermore when your blood sugar level is spiking you get fatigued you get shortness of breath you get a very dry mouth i didn't hear none of that in fact that nigga sounded wet when it came out your mouth. Okay, I also didn't hear no trouble breathing. And you damn sure didn't sound tired. Matt, just please let
Starting point is 01:11:51 Kathy Griffin give Matt Rowan the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. Luckily, he was fired. Okay, and that's that. Cracker ass cracker Hey
Starting point is 01:12:07 Drop one of Clues bombs For Chris Rock Damn it man Alright Wow Chris Okay Wow Didn't know you wanted to add that
Starting point is 01:12:17 Keep it locked We have more coming up next It's The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club What's up, it's The Breakfast Club and it's time for Ask Yee. Now, who's on the line? Whoa! Hey! Hi, Yee, how are you?
Starting point is 01:12:43 I'm good, how are you? I'm fine, thank you. I'm good. How are you? I'm fine. Thank you. I'm such a huge fan. And I'm whispering because my husband is asleep. He just came home from work. But this is a secret that my son expressed to me that he wants to keep a secret. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:57 So my son, he just turned 10. Mm-hmm. And he told me that he's made like boys and girls. Okay. And what did you say? I told him no matter what, that I will love him. And whatever decision he makes, I'm going to stand next to him. But I'm not sure if what he's feeling is correct or anything.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Like, I don't know. I need help with this. I'm not outside. I'm handling it good with him. And I'm trying to keep our relationship don't know. I need help with this. I'm not outside. I'm handling it good with him. And I'm trying to keep our relationship. You know, I want him to come to me. Right, for anything. About anything.
Starting point is 01:13:32 But inside, I'm like kind of panicking. And I don't, you know, like I'm going back and forth with myself. Well, what are you panicking about? Because number one, he's a young black man already. And, you know, just to be open and he's already being bullied. He's already had mental health issues and, you know, it's just tough out here for him. One more stigma on top of that is just, you know, he's already
Starting point is 01:14:00 expressed in the third grade that he wanted to commit suicide. Wow. It sounds like, have you put yourself... So now I'm thinking, like, maybe this is, you know, what everything was that he was hiding, you know? Right. Yes, because it is painful to have these things that you want to hide, you don't want people to know. It's great that he felt like he could tell you.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Yes, that's what I told him. Right, and start expressing that to you, and you have to keep those lines of communication open. I think your response was amazing. And I understand that you are concerned because that's your child. So you don't want him to be out in this world where people can be really nasty and cruel. Exactly. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:38 And he expressed to me that he does like a boy in school. And, like, you know, like, i don't know how to how to handle everything like like this is a lot like he's only 10 is he too young to have these feelings is he you know like is this something that's normal is this gonna change i have so many questions like i don't i don't i need help and you know what honey there's nobody that can even answer all those questions for you because he probably doesn't even understand everything right now. He just knows how he's feeling and at least he's able to express how he's feeling. And that's all he can do.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Now, have you got him some professional help, somebody that he could speak to so that they can help him navigate? And maybe both of you should go. I think that I've done that far. You know, like I'm still kind of in shock. He just expressed this to me two days ago. Right. So I'm just, like, still trying to, you know, see, like, I don't want him to, you know, feel like he can't trust me. But I don't want him to, he's only 10, and I don't want him to start reacting on these feelings.
Starting point is 01:15:39 And, you know, like, I don't know. And then he's also expressing to me, like, you know, please don't tell my dad and don't tell this person. And, you know, like I just, he's scared of everyone's reaction. Right. So, and you should respect that, of course. And you are. Of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Don't tell anybody else. But definitely go set up something for you guys to find somebody good to talk to. If you hold on the line, I actually have somebody that can be really helpful with that and that would be uh dr kendall jasper and i always refer people to him when we're in situations and i feel like this is dire because i want you to be able to know how to deal with this i'm not an expert in that but i do feel like what you've done so far has been amazing as a mom and i know that i want you to be able to express to him in the best way possible uh how much you him, how much you care about him. And also help him learn what he needs to do in order to be more comfortable and not have feelings of suicide, because that's major, too.
Starting point is 01:16:34 You don't want him to ever think about that again. That's my worst fear. All right. Hold on the line. I'm going to hook you up with Dr. Kendall Jasper. Thank you so much. No problem. Damn. That's ASCII. 1. Thank you so much. No problem. Damn.
Starting point is 01:16:46 That's ASCII. 1-800-585-1051. You can call up at ASCII. Whatever you want to talk to her about. It's The Breakfast Club. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's ASCII. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:17:01 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This big guy. What's up? What's up, DJ Envy? What's up, bro? Charlamagne Tha Guy. Who is, Kane? Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:17:20 You clapping your hands? What are you doing, man? What's your question for me, bro? Amazing. You wake me up. You make me go goddamn sleep in the closet when I get to work. Shut up. Don't tell nobody anything. Now, let's talk business, Angela Yee. Let's talk.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Okay. Topic of my subject is accepting money from an ex. Are you ready? I'm ready. I know. Okay. It's like eating a whole bowl of spaghetti and waking up in the morning and having to use the bathroom all day long. So that's how I feel.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Check this out. She, I am in a situation, okay? It is a living arrangement. It is a sexual expectation fantasy. Ooh, we all wrapped in one. But I'm getting feelings, Angelou, you. Okay, so you're not Angela. You? Okay. So y'all not together.
Starting point is 01:18:07 You're just roommates. We roommate slash sex buddy slash sex club. You name it. We doing it. But not in a relationship. We play with each other in different conversations. Okay? It's complicated.
Starting point is 01:18:24 It's very complicated. Okay, but not in a relationship, right? Are you in a relationship? Yes? It's complicated. It's very complicated. But not in a relationship, right? Are you in a relationship? Yes or no? No. Okay. Now continue. She called her.
Starting point is 01:18:34 She called me one day. She said, hey, look, big Al, what you doing? I said, I'm working. She said, I want you to, all right, I'll call you back. Next thing you know, I called her 20 minutes later, I said, what's up? She's like, I just come back from my ex-house. I said, what the? She said, yeah, I just came back from my ex-house.
Starting point is 01:18:53 He gave me some blase money. He gave me a couple, you know, a couple bills. I'm like, okay, what the hell is you going over his house for? Why do you even need money? You make more money than I do. Nah. She tells me that she did it because she didn't think it was going to be no problem with me.
Starting point is 01:19:11 She just wanted some extra change in her pocket. Why you ain't say nothing? I could have donated plasma. What the hell? Here's the confusing part. That's not your girl. So, legally, she can do anything she wants to do.
Starting point is 01:19:27 She can do anything she wants to do. But when you make rehab, you just it's principal of the thing. It's the male ego you use. That sounds more like your problem and it sounds like you need to have a conversation
Starting point is 01:19:44 with her. Maybe she's testing you. Maybe she's telling you that to see how you react because you're not trying to lock it down. If you're not with me, if you're not my man, I can do whatever I want. We've never had that discussion. Do you do other things too? I'm the director.
Starting point is 01:20:00 I need a damn camera. But do you mess with other chicks too? Absolutely, Angela. So what are you mad about? You're not even in a relationship. Doesn't this sound hypocritical to you? No, no, no. We got this.
Starting point is 01:20:14 It's amazing. It is amazing. It is amazing. It causes, it causes, yes. Sir, y'all are both single. Y'all are both single. Yes. What's the problemall are both single. Y'all are both single. Yes. What's the problem?
Starting point is 01:20:27 Yes, but no. We have rules. We can't break rules. So the rule is that she can't get money from her ex? Well, no. So she didn't do anything wrong. Sounds like you're having your own ego issues, and it's more something that you need to check. Now, if that was your girl,
Starting point is 01:20:46 I would say that's an absolute no. But because you're messing with other women... Okay, say if it was my girl, how can I break that down to her that that's not cool? Well, sir, there's steps to this. First, she has to be your girl for your... She probably
Starting point is 01:21:01 wouldn't have done that if you guys were in a relationship. Right? Okay. So, you got to figure out what you want to do and have that conversation. You can't be mad at her
Starting point is 01:21:14 for going to her ex for anything. She could have slept with him too. Hey. Yes, sir. Be mad at yourself. If your wife borrowed money from her ex-boyfriend, what would you say? If my wife?
Starting point is 01:21:28 That's what I say. Oh, so you said my ex-wife. I ain't got an ex-wife. But if my wife wouldn't be borrowing no money from her ex-boyfriend, my wife wouldn't be speaking to her ex-boyfriend. What are you talking about? Huh? What if your wife borrowed money from her ex-boyfriend
Starting point is 01:21:39 and she didn't tell you about it until after she got the money? Hell no, that wouldn't happen. My wife don't talk to her ex-boyfriend. Sir, you cannot compare these two situations. That's not your wife. That's not even your girl. Yeah, that's not your girl. You don't even know that girl.
Starting point is 01:21:54 You share that girl. She was in Atlanta this weekend. But if I'm giving her fellatio, she got to bow down sometimes, Rob. No, she don't. She never has to bow down. You're not the only person giving her fellatio. She was in Atlanta this weekend. Mad dudes gave her fellatio this weekend.
Starting point is 01:22:09 And if you're giving her fellatio, you're bowing down. But listen, my whole point is this. That's not your woman. You haven't had that discussion. And you just got to live with it. She could do whatever she wants. She could get banged if she wants to. Gee, she.
Starting point is 01:22:22 She can. That's going to be a little deep. That she... She can. That's gonna be a little deep. That's deep. Deep. That's deep. So either try to lock it down and be a good man and you're messing with other women.
Starting point is 01:22:35 How do you think she feels? She likes it. I'm telling you, it is some of the most weirdest type of poor her type stuff going on up in town. Oh, my goodness. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:48 Well, this is what you signed up for, sir. She's doing her. You're doing you. And you guys are doing each other. Until you change the dynamics of that relationship, you don't call the shots. I can't say nothing, huh? You really can't. You can't.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Yeah, you have to take it just like she is from other people. Ooh. What is going on here, you? Okay. I see something happening, you. Goodbye, sir. You can't have it both ways. All right, we got more coming up next, so don't move.

Starting point is 01:26:49 What's your question for C&E? Okay, just a little rundown of what happened yesterday. I just need y'all advice on what to do, how to handle the situation. Basically, my five-year-old, he's in kindergarten. He was at school yesterday, and I got a text from his teacher saying that he's coming home with the red face. You know, mind you, they get green faces, you know, when they do good. She said that he's coming home with a red face because he got upset with a little girl at school because she didn't want to talk to him. And he told her at lunch that he was going to burn her house down.
Starting point is 01:27:26 And she said that these days you just can't make remarks like that. And he was sent to the principal's office, and she just wanted to let me know and all that kind of stuff. But I do kind of honestly feel like that that was a bit much. Like, you know, he's only five for one. Like, he's not going to go steal my car and go burn up somebody's house. But how would you handle this if this was your child? Well, I think that he's heard you talk about them guys' house you're going to burn down one too many times.
Starting point is 01:27:53 That's what it sounds like to me. That's what it sounds like to me, ma'am. No, I wouldn't say that. I would just say keep this in mind. It's protocol now. With everything going on in the world and all these mass shootings, it's protocol. Teachers want to make sure they save their jobs. So no matter what happens if they hear this, that's protocol of what
Starting point is 01:28:10 they have to do. But you just got to tell your son, just look, like, hey, you can't make these remarks because people take it serious. I know you're not serious. I know this is something you've seen on TV, but you can't say things like that because you can get in trouble. And hopefully he understands that. But you ain't got to worry about it. Yeah, but the teacher got to have more grace too. Nah, it you ain't gotta worry yeah but the teacher gotta have more grace to protocol the teacher gotta have more
Starting point is 01:28:28 grace it's a damn five-year-old you know what i mean a five-year-old not about to go out and commit a act of arson like the teacher gotta have a little bit more grace the teacher should actually reach out to you and be like hey i just want you to know this is what your son said today you know you i don't want to see him get in any more trouble. You can't do that. Because there's cases like there was a case, I think, a couple of months ago where a five-year-old bought a school and shot a two-year-old. So there's cases like that where they got to follow protocol.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Now, she might not believe it, but she has to do it just in case to make sure everything is all right. So I'm not mad at the school doing that because they got to follow protocol. It's not like they took the kid and beat him outside in front of everybody. Yeah, but now that kid got a stain. Like, he got a red face. No, it's no stain. And he got a red face, and people in that school probably looking at that
Starting point is 01:29:13 five-year-old different. Like, watch that one. That one said he's going to burn the house down. You know? Exactly. And my thing was, they was in a cafeteria, and the little girl of another color, I'm just going to say that. White? Supposedly.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Yeah, basically. I'm black. My son's black. Said that she just went up and told the teacher and they never asked him for his side of the story. So basically they're just going by what she's saying. Lord have mercy. Did he even say that? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:29:43 That's what I want to know. I asked him and he said he didn't say that. That's what I'm saying. Now you got to go to school in a while. That's what I'm saying. We don't even, I'm like, I haven't heard you say that he said that. So that's like. Right.
Starting point is 01:29:53 And you know, you know your kids, you know your kids or whatever, you know where they're lying, you know, when they're telling the truth. I honestly don't think he said that. Well, mama, if he didn't say, if he said it, he didn't say it. If you get my drift, that boy didn't say that. Nobody heard him say that. Don't lie on said that. Well, mama, if he said it, he didn't say it. If you get my drift. That boy didn't say that. Nobody heard him say that. Don't lie on my kid.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Period. Period. So you need to go to school and have that conversation. Did y'all hear my son say it? Because my son didn't say it. And who are you going to agree? You going to listen to my black son or that white girl? Who are you listening to?
Starting point is 01:30:19 Because now I'm feeling a little racism. They're going to listen to the white girl. You know that. No, not in this day and age. Exactly. Not in this day. Oh, do I need to get my lawyer involved? Envy, you just said report the threat. Because I thought he said it.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Because you assumed he said it because he's a little black boy. No, I did. I assumed he said it because he never said he didn't say it. He's lying. No, I'm not lying. He heard you say little black boy and he just said that nigga did it. I thought they heard him. If nobody heard him, he ain't say it. You take that to the grave. Yes, nobody heard him. Nobody heard him with their own ears. Nobody heard him directly. That's horrible. So he shouldn't be punished. he ain't say it. You take that to the grave. Yes, nobody heard him. Nobody heard him with their own ears.
Starting point is 01:30:45 Nobody heard him directly. That's horrible. So he shouldn't be punished. He shouldn't be punished. I mean, so I didn't whoop him. I didn't whoop him or anything. And then I texted her back, and I was just like, I do apologize for him making those remarks. And it will be handled expeditiously.
Starting point is 01:30:58 Thanks. Well, you shouldn't have wrote that. You should have said he didn't say it. But I would stick with he ain't say it. Nobody heard him say it. He ain't say it. Period. Period. Alright, mama. Have a good one. Alright, we got more coming up next with The Breakfast Club.
