Episode Date: June 20, 2018

Wednesday 6/20 - Today on the show we had the cast of "Sorry To Bother You" stop by where they discussed the meaning of the movie, Terry Crews discussed his sexual allegation case, and "The Breakfast Club" couldn't differentiate Omari Hardwick and his role Ghost during the interview. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to a North Charleston man who tried to speed off from cops, but his car was in park ( womp womp). Also, Angela Yee helped some listeners out during "Ask Yee" and one listener was trying to scoop her a baller.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earning it. Impact in the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.

The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother. We in the mother. Good morning, USA. Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. What's up, Angela Yee? What's up, DJ Envy? And Charlamagne, I'm sure he's running a little late, but guess what day it is? Guess what day it is?

Hump Day? Yes. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Today is Wednesday. It is Hump Day. How was your little trip? I was in Bermuda. It was fantastic. It was their Heroes Weekend Festival, so they had juve out there, carnival and all of that.

I was with my friends from high school, a whole bunch of us, so we had a great time. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. You can hear my voice is still a little raspy from it. That's good. That means you had a great time. From New York, Bermuda is only like a two hour flight. So, you know, it's a nice quick getaway.

Okay. Alright, well today is my son's, Logan's graduation. He graduates middle school today. So, yesterday, all he wanted was these for graduation. He wanted a pair of off-white Jordans. Now, these are the ones that Virgil did. Virgil is the one that owns off-white. He's also the one that's working for Louis Vuitton.

Well, he did a collaboration with Jordan. And my son has been into these sneakers for like the last six months. And that's all he wanted for graduation. The only problem is when they came out they were like $150. Now they're like $2,000. So I've been trying to find... You got it? No, I don't have it. I got five kids. So now I've been trying to find somebody who's

been trying to sell it and not trying to make that much money off of me. So that's what I was doing yesterday. Good luck. I found a pair so he'll be happy today. At his graduation. How much did you pay for them? $500. That's good. It's a good price. Whoever's selling those sneakers to Emmy for $500, you should ask for more. You should have asked for more.

No, but they understood what it was. I told them what it was, and they were just like, I will let it slide. So he'll get those a little bit later. So I'm excited for him. So today is graduation. So anyway, today on the show, the cast of Sorry to Bother You will be joining us. That's Terry Crews, Amari Hardwick, and Boots Riley.

So we'll kick it with them a little bit later. I haven't seen the movie. I've seen like trailers and it's a little weird. Yeah, you know what? So my friend Janae is staying with me

and she actually went to go see it last night. What did she say? And she told me it was a very strange movie and if she was high... That's what I said. I said if I was high

I thought I would love it. She said it was a great movie but she said she feels like if she was high it would have been an love it. She said it was a great movie, but she said she feels like if she was high, it would have been an even better experience. Not that we're promoting people to get high to go see this movie, but it's a little weird movie. And we got front pages, but we're talking about you.

Man, we got to talk about these. And I don't know if you guys have been talking about this while I've been gone, but over 2,300 kids separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, and that's just in about one month. Wow. Really sad, sad, and I know we've been talking about this before I left, and I always feel like it's just so important for us to talk about immigration here in the United States and what's going on underneath Donald Trump.

All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. In sports, New York Knicks have just recently signed LeBron James. Don't give fake news. Nah, that's not true. I was hoping, like, I'm preying on that. Yeah, everyone thought that was true.

They say you throw that out there. The way you said it. You throw it out there, you throw out some positivity and it'll come back. That didn't work. Who's that positive for? New York? Is it positive for LeBron? I don't know, but.

So that's not true? No, that's not true. Anyway, let's talk about some real news. What's going on with Trump and this border, this Mexico border and these kids? And I know we've been talking about this up here. And here's the situation. Over 2,300 kids have been separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. And that's in the period of about one month.

That's under Donald Trump's zero tolerance policy. And they're saying there's no clear system in place to reunite them. Now, if you guys follow Michael Skolnick on Twitter, he posts about this constantly and has a lot of links to articles in case you don't know exactly what's going on. But immigrants who are arrested near the border are taken to processing centers

and they are trying to see if some of them are granted asylum. It's a misdemeanor crime of illegal entry. So a lot of times those immigrants often plead guilty in group hearings. They get a sentence of a few days in prison or time served, and then they get quickly deported unless they have a credible fear of returning to their home country. And I've been watching videos of there's one nine-year-old kid that said the gangs told their family they had to leave right away. So they left and came here and hasn't seen his parents since.

Now, everybody's been arguing about this. Here is what Fox News' Laura Ingram had to say about there's these immigrant child detention centers. Some of these kids are five years old and younger that are being separated from their parents. And there's been studies done to show how much trauma can happen to a child when they're separated from their kids at such an early age. So since more illegal immigrants are rushing the border, more kids are being separated

from their parents and temporarily housed in what are essentially summer camps or as the San Diego Union Tribune described them today as looking like basically boarding schools. Okay, I don't know if she saw the kids that were in cages and crying for their parents. Yeah, so as you can see, just very tone deaf what's going on. Now, here is what Michael Grimm had to say about these kids who are in these child detention centers sitting in cages. I think it's extremely unfortunate. But what people are forgetting, they just want to listen to those tapes. You know, I can take you to any nursery and you're going to hear the exact same things as a mother leaves to go to work and has to leave her child at daycare.

You're going to hear those same exact things. So, Michael Grimm, why don't you leave your kids in a child detention center since it's a daycare? Where's the compassion? Like, it seems like people just don't care about these kids. Now, here's what Ann Coulter had to say on Fox News. And I would also say one other thing. These child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24-7 right now. Do not fall for it, Mr. President.

She called them child actors? She called them child actors. The fact that these 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 9-year-olds are crying holding on to the gate because their parents are gone. They don't know who to talk to. They don't know who to hug, who to kiss, who to get food from. But a lot of times these people come here and they're trying to get asylum and maybe they are going to get it or they're going through the whole process and they have no idea where their kids are. All right. Here is what Corey Lewandowski had to say about as he was arguing on Fox News also. I mean, look, I read today about a 10 year old girl with Down syndrome who was taken from her mother and put in a cage. I read about a they just say want want to awant to a 10-year-old with Down syndrome

being taken from her mother. You can pick anything you want up, but the bottom line is very clear. These people are crazy, man. There's no compassion. And this is America, right?

This is the land of the free. This is where we're supposed to care about people and take other people's problems and try to help them out, right? That's America? A couple in California has raised over $4 million

in Facebook fundraisers for immigrant families, and they are set to raise $5 million in under five days. That's in response to the zero tolerance policy on immigration and the separation of thousands of kids from their families at the border. Charlotte and Dave Willner. They started their fundraising campaign after seeing a two-year-old girl crying as her mother, who was seeking asylum from Honduras, was being searched and detained. And they additionally wanted to raise $1,500 to help cover the bond fees for one person, but it just grew so much that they raised over $4 million. If you've ever been to a kennel and you see how they keep the dogs all in gates and all gated up and this section is the pit bulls and this section is the German Shepherds,

this section is the little dogs, that's how that picture the German Shepherds. This section is the little dogs. That's how that picture looked yesterday when I seen it. Yeah, it looks great. It's disgusting. So for anybody who thinks that it's okay and it's illegal what these people are doing, trying to come to the country and then doesn't see an issue with this, then that's a real problem. I mean, it is illegal, but it's still inhumane, though. Yeah, some people are seeking asylum.

Definitely inhumane. Yeah, but it's inhumane what they're doing to the people that are trying to get in here illegally. But I will say it makes me wonder if people got kids at all. Because how can you have kids and not have empathy for other people's children? No compassion at all. And it's a misdemeanor. So some people just get sent right back. And some people actually do get asylum.

And they're separated and might never see their kids again. My goodness. All right. Well, that's front page news. Charlamagne, you just got here. Oh, man, I overslept last night. right. Well, that's front page news. Charlamagne, you just got here. Oh, man. I overslept last night. I was at, um, I was at, well, you know, we got Bootsy, Boots Riley here today.

Boots Riley. We have Terry Crews. Terry Crews. Omari Hardwick. Creator and director of Sorry to Bother You. That's the movie that's coming out. So I did a. In July.

I did a screening for them last night with Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. And then we had a Q&A and I stayed up too late. You're really on Good Music's payroll, bro. Why is that Good Music? You got another pair of Yeezys on. These are Yeezys? You know they're Yeezys. I don't know these are Yeezys. Where'd you get them from? Where'd I get them from?

If you gotta ask a question with a question, that means you lying. You got them from Kanye? Where'd I get them from? Yes. I think I pretty sure Good Music sent these. Oh my goodness, this guy here. You got a pair too, though. No, I don't. I got them from Kanye? Where'd I get them from? Yes. I think I pretty sure good music sent these. Oh, my goodness. This guy here. You got a pair, too, though. No, I don't.

I got some leopards on. Oh, well, your box in the back, then. Oh, all right. All right. And then I guess I'm on payroll, too. Hey, man. They comfortable. I'm a dad.

This is a great dad shoe. Great dad shoe. All right. Okay. Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or you just need to vent.

Or maybe you want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Angel. Angel, get it off your chest, bro. Man, I am a blessed brother today. Okay, tell us why. What's up, Angel?

What's up? You need to be blessed with a name like Angel. My son's about to be a year old. I got my next one coming in about less than a month. Everything's coming together, working hard, busting ass. Congratulations. All right, well, congr hard, busting ass. Congratulations. Congrats, man. I appreciate it, man.

I got to stay blessed. Everything's good on this side. How about you guys? Oh, man, I'm blessed black and highly favored, sir. Enjoy them kids. They grow fast.

Yo, Shalman, I got one favor for you, please. Talk to me. I got a white brother, right? Uh-huh. Man, he did some mayonnaise ass s*** and I couldn't explain to him how mayonnaise,

what mayonnaise means the way you can. You know what I mean? You can't explain to him what mayonnaise means. Yeah, because I think it's more racist, but it's not, though, because anybody can be mayonnaise. That's right. Tell him mayonnaise is just a disgusting, nasty substance, and you

don't ever want to be mayonnaise, okay? All right, bro. And Charlamagne just pulled out a big jar. That's right. Of mayonnaise. You know what I'm saying? That looks like, what size is that? This right here is a one-gallon.

A one-gallon? Where did you get that from? 128 fluid ounce, 3.78 liter jar of Hellman's Real Mayonnaise, okay? And I'm keeping it in here because I want it to spoil, right? Oh, my goodness. Because when it starts getting yellow and starts to stink, then y'all will understand what I mean when I say you kept the mayonnaise out too long. Hello?

Hey, what's up? I want to make a point about the illegal immigrant. Go ahead. I want to see if everybody has the same energy feeling bad about the kids if they say, hey, let's take this family of five and stick them in your house and then see if they have that same energy. Shut up.

So you think it's okay to rip kids away from their parents? I don't understand your point. It's not about if it's okay or not. Let's see if you have... But why would you take a family of five and put them in your house? I don't even understand your point. I want to hear what he's saying, though. What are you saying?

What are you saying? They're taking these kids and they're taking them from their parents. So if you want to keep this together with their parents and they say, all right, this is the solution. Take this family and you stick them in your house and you take care of them until they're able to seek their asylum or whatever it is. And let's see if people have that same energy. How about when you deport the families back?

Why don't you not separate them from their children? Well, that's I don't know. That's their choice that they made. That's their choice. Immigration problem. Oh, my God. That's how they chose to take care of us. Listen, if you're just not a humane person and you think that this is okay and your solution is, well, imagine if they were in your house.

That's just crazy to me. Let's not imagine if you would still do it or not. Would you still have that same energy? What is the point of that? You're entitled to your opinion. You know what? Yes, I would take a family of five with a two-year-old so that they wouldn't be ripped away from their families and be torn apart.

All right. Now, you need somebody going to hold you to that. I would. You don't be just throwing stuff out there if you're not going to stand by it. Listen, I believe in humanity and helping other people out and being a human being and not doing things like that. And I think it's disgusting. I believe in humanity wholeheartedly, too.

And I believe there has to be another solution than taking kids away from their parents. I agree wholeheartedly. If you're a family of five. If you're a family of five, if you're a family of five, a family of five of illegal immigrants, Angelique has a place

for you to stay. I mean, I don't even understand how this could be a joke. I'm not saying it's a joke. I'm just thinking it's something to think about. Absolutely. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, it is up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Whether you're male or black. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Daisy from Texas. Hey, mama, get it off your chest. I really, I just, my heart is broken right now.

Like, my heart is broken. These families that are fleeing their country. I was lucky enough to be just born three hours on this side of the border. My cousins weren't. No, my cousins aren't. They're fleeing cartels. They're fleeing drug cartels. They're barely able to survive over there.

They're just trying to get help. And I wish I could help them. I wish I could do something. I feel like I can't do anything. And it just breaks my heart. It really does break my heart. I wish. You can wish and you can pray and you can hope.

And I feel like it's just never going to change. What do we have to do? What can I do? I's just never going to change. What do we have to do? Like, what do I have to, what can I do? I'm just, I'm just here looking and hearing. And have you ever seen a child being ripped from their mother's arms? Like, I don't understand. I just don't understand how even drug cartels have more, sometimes in some aspects, in some cases,

because I could just go on and on about stories of how even they had more heart than I did. One thing you can do right now, you can call your reps at 202-224-3121 and tell them to end the separation of families at the borders. Ask your senators to pass the Keep Families Together Act and your house rep to pass the Help Separated Children Act.

That's something you can do immediately right now. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up? Big Chocolate the Toast Sucker. How's everybody? Oh, my goodness. I haven't spoke to you in a while. Be nice to me, Envy. Come on. All right, what's up, brother?

How you doing today? I'm good, bro. I'm good. I'm going to play another game, another round of Is It Just Me? Is that all right? Go ahead, brother. Check it out. Is it just me or does Charlamagne sound like Daffy Duck when he says,

that's despicable? That's despicable. Is it just me or does Angela Eber butter on her bunions when they hurt? Is it just me or is Envy's partner's hair played out? Envy's partner's hair played out? What's that mean? I don't have a partner yet. I did it for the one source picture.

Oh, I thought he said your partner's hair. I was like, what did Gia's hair got to do with this? I was like, what? I don't have a part in my hair. Do you have bunions, G? No, I don't have any bunions. Okay, alright. But that's cool. Alright, hello, who's this? Nathan Bryan from Florence, South Carolina.

What's up, bro? Florence, what's happening? Flo Town. I just wanted to call and talk and get some stuff on my chest. I just really feel like a lot of black news coverage is not really giving us the truth on what's really going on in the world. I just think a lot of our news companies are just really giving us information based on a certain party, and I think that's wrong. So what's really going on in the world, brother?

Tell us on behalf of the African-American delegation, what's going on in the world. Well, just like I was just listening to y'all and y'all was talking about the pitches and stuff, but what they really not telling us is a lot of them pitches came from 2014. They wasn't like real recent. All the pitches is not new. And I know I heard somebody say something about actors

and what we really got to understand is they do have a lot of stuff that's going on at that stage. Now, I can't say the kids or whoever was actors, but I know that's going on. You believe what Ann Coulter, when Ann Coulter called the immigrant children child actors, that's what you believe is going on? No, I can't say I believe it, but I know what's going on. You know what I'm saying? I did some research in 2012.

They made it a law where they can't pass out fake news. Hey, how you call up here and get mad at the news networks for reporting fake news, but then you call up here reporting news and you don't know if it's fake or not. You just talking. No, I'm telling you it's real. Oh, okay.

You asked me about Ann Coulter. I never seen that. I just heard y'all say that, so I wouldn't know about that. Well, 2,300 kids have been taken from their families between May and June. All right, well. They said XXXTentacion

is still alive too, though. That's the other thing going on. They did say that yesterday. So, you know, whatever. Everybody living in their own little simulation. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. You got rumors on the way? Well, yeah, we are going to talk about XXXTentacion. We'll give you an update on what's going on. And fans did pay

their final respects at a vigil. We'll tell you what happened there. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

For what do you push up? That's what you thought. What's wrong with you, man? That's what he thought. It's over. The beef's over. Let it go, man. It is over, but we still got to remind people that he holds this out.

That's all. Same way we remind LeBron that he's 3-6 in the NBA Finals, you got to remind Drake that he's 1-1 in rap battles. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk XXXTentacion. Did I say that right? Tentacion. There you go.

It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, XXXTentacion's music has been climbing the charts.

Now, his music is dominating on iTunes, on Amazon, on Spotify, everywhere. They said his sad song from his latest album is the number one song on iTunes. And also, the song Changes from that same album is number five. The album 17 which came out in 2017 is also in the top ten at number five. Spotify also did

an R.I.P. XXXTentacion banner and featured his playlist at the top of its browser. People were mad at Spotify. Y'all just took his music off three weeks ago.

Exactly. They did it. If he wasn't good enough to be in your ish when he was alive don't switch up now. I agree. Keep that same energy.

In the words of the late, great, notorious B.I.G., who was also a gun down, you're nobody until somebody kills you. All right. In the meantime, police are offering a $3,000 reward for any tips in the hopes that will lead to the arrest of whoever killed him. People have been giving them tips all day. Right. Yeah, just open up a Twitter account, police. Hey, Broward County Police, just open up a Twitter account, open up an Instagram.

I think y'all have a lead suspect. Well, right now they are saying that they think it was a random shooting, a random killing. And his team has issued a statement on his death. They said that XXXTentacion touched the lives of millions around the globe and will forever reside in the hearts of countless fans who listened to his music, attended his concerts, and felt the glow of his uncontainable, undeniable, and unique spirit. By the way, only $3,000?

I know, I thought that was really low. Three racks? That meant it? They gotta get the money from somewhere. What are you talking about? They gotta get the money to give it to somebody. What's from the sheriff's office? From the sheriff's office. They probably don't have that much money.

They said a big thank you to our social media community for the many tips we've received regarding the death of local rapper. The office is asking anyone with information to contact homicide detectives Walt Foster and John Curcio. And they gave the numbers 954-321-4210. They're probably waiting for forensics to come back from the car and stuff. That's what I'm thinking. Before they go get that lead suspect.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Because I see a lead suspect. Now, according to XXXTentacion's lawyer, he does think that the shooting was a random robbery. He said, I think he went to the bank before it happened. I think the determination was that he wanted to buy a motorcycle. But detectives aren't discounting any theory right now. So they don't know exactly what happened. But cops believe that it was a random shooting, and so does his lawyer.

And I don't know if that guy is a lead suspect, but he definitely should be brought in for questioning after what I saw on social media. All right, in the meantime, fans did pay a final respect to him at a vigil as they were mourning him. And in honor of him, dozens of fans actually came to the location outside of the location, Motorsports,

where they paid respects to him. They bought flowers, photos, candles. Other people threw up the X sign and they were coloring the sidewalk with notes, lyrics, and drawings. Now, his abuse accuser actually showed up, Geneva Ayala, the woman who accused him of abusing her while she

carried a child. She actually has broken her silence as well. Listen to what she had to say. Yo, the fact that they burned my s***, bro, like, that's so f***ing disrespectful. Like, how could you guys do that, bro? I don't care how much you guys

hate me, like, why would you guys do that? Oh, when she bought stuff to the vigil, his fans set it on fire? Yeah, they set it on fire. And they actually chased her away. She posted, I want to scream at the top of my lungs until I can't then keep screaming. I don't want to believe this.

No one knows the ish I feel for you. Yeah, why would you do that to a victim of domestic violence? Right. And cops did have to fire rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowd at his memorial. They said things got really crazy. They were at least 300 people and they were filling a stretch of Melrose Avenue in L.A. Those fans that were there then got rowdy. They were climbing on top of building roofs and swarming, passing cars,

throwing rocks at nearby police. And so eventually there was tear gas, pepper spray bullets, and rubber bullets to disperse everyone. I mean, listen, I don't care how much you love your favorite artist or your favorite athlete, your favorite celebrity. Sometimes they're just dead wrong in something that they did. And you can still like them and acknowledge that they're wrong. So don't take it out on the victim

just because that man did something wrong when he was alive. Let's switch gears for a second. Akon is going to be launching a cryptocurrency called Acoin. You should have called it the Black Dollar. I actually like Acoin. That's pretty cute. Now, you said, I think that blockchain and crypto

could be the savior for Africa in many ways because it brings the power back to the people and brings the security back into the currency system. And it also allows people to utilize it in ways where they can advance themselves and not allow government to do those things that are keeping them down. That's the only thing I don't understand. And I'm into business and finance and invested. I just never understand cryptocurrency. How can you just create and say,

okay, I'm going to create a coin, and what is the worth of it? How do you get the worth of a coin? Of a coin? Or whatever his name is, or whatever he calls it. It's called a coin. You know, how do you get the worth of it?

I'm getting my coin. I don't know about you, but I know how to get me a coin. Okay, well, you go get you a coin. I get me a coin. I don't know. I don't know. How do you, like, what's the worth of it?

Yeah, it's something that you really would have to... I'm going to create my own currency and then just sit down with a cryptocurrency expert. What would your currency be called? The beige dollar.

All right. Why you put that voice on? Drop on a clues bomb for Akon though. All Akon ever is out here doing is the work. When's the last time Akon put out music?

When's the last time Akon even been featured on nothing? I mean, he's been doing a lot. He don't give a damn. That's why I respect it man. He can't just

start here doing the work man. Well his cryptocurrency will be available for sale in two weeks. Okay. I gotta buy money? I ain't buying no money.

See that's what I said how do you know the value of it? I'm confused. You ain't for sale I'm not buying no damn money. I'm gonna buy money.

Acorn. Alright somebody gotta explain it to me maybe I'm just I don't know I don't claim to be the highest grader weed in this country

somebody explain this to me okay? Alright we'll get into that. Alright I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor country. Somebody explain this to me. All right, we'll get into that. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we have the cast of Sorry to Bother You. Sorry to Bother You.

I did a Q&A last night for the cast of Sorry to Bother You. I mean, this isn't all of the cast. We actually have the creator and director, which is Boots Riley, and we have Terry Crews and Amari Harwood coming. But to round out the cast, cast the stars Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson and my man Jermaine Fowler alright well

I haven't seen it but when I looked at the trailer it looked like it needed to be high to watch it I've seen it and? it's interesting you will definitely

leave the movie theater asking yourself what the F did I just watch good way or bad way? I think in a good way ok I think in a good way alright we'll kick it with them

when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.

We have Boots Riley. Good morning. What's up? Terry Crews. Good morning. Hey, good morning. And Amari Hardwick. Good morning, guys.

Good morning. What up, New York? How's everything? They're all here promoting Sorry to Bother You. I saw the film last week, Boots. And I need to ask you one question. Good morning. What up, New York? How's everything? They're all here promoting Sorry to Bother You. I saw the film last week, Boots, and I need to ask you one question. All right. What the **** did I watch? You guys have been watching some crazy stuff.

Hopefully, we don't give away spoilers, but you saw some crazy **** that's different than the other movies you've seen. 100%. You know what threw me off is I didn't realize it was science fiction. All right. Because the trailer didn't give me that. Cool. So as I'm watching it, I'm like, all right, what the hell just happened?

Well, give us a break on what the movie's about. Because watching the trailer, I've seen a little bit. I don't want to lay it. I'll give stuff away. So I'll let Boo say it. Yeah, yeah. Well, so it's an absurdist, dark comedy with magical realism and science fiction inspired by the world of telemarketing.

You got that shit. Sorry to bother you. You know, it's funny. Me and Charlamagne got into an argument. I don't even know if Charlamagne remembers about, I'd say about two years ago. My first job was telemarketing. And it was similar.

When I got there, everybody in there was making money. But me, because I was from the hood. I had to put a white voice on it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So my name is Rashawn, so I had to change it to Sean. Yeah. My last name is Casey. So we were selling fuel.

So I was like, hi, this is Sean Casey. I'm calling from Pelco Fuel. How are you doing today, sir? It's good, bro. It's wonderful, yes. I can save you a bunch of money on your home heating fuel. And it worked. It worked.

And that's what Danny Glover's character tells to Keith is, you know, it's not only that you sound in white. It's this idea of what white is. Yeah, and I just don't ever agree with code switching because I don't ever want to marginalize my blackness. I feel like my blackness is great. Well, you know, you are in a position where you don't have to. Like some people, I'm sure, you know, if you would have told that to him. Yeah, well, you told that to him while he's at the job, and it's like you could make more money or not, you know.

But he pretends to be Dominican sometimes. I'm not Dominican. It's weird with that guy. He thinks because I wear white jeans I'm Dominican. I'm not Dominican, bro. It's just not. Terry and Amari, y'all been in Hollywood for a while. Have y'all ever had to coach?

You know what's interesting? I think it's sort of a, I guess it's a marriage between the two. Your point and Envy's point, Charlemagne. Because in reality, the character Ghost is co-switching constantly, but without changing the voice. I think more so that's what you mean, that you don't want to have to do. I think, you know, if you think about it, President Obama is co-switching. But again, his voice and his diction and his articulation and the tonality has basically remained the same. I would say Sidney Poitier, Denzel, Harry Balafonte, the same.

So Ghost Code Switch to me in a very physical, a physically adjusting to the environment type of way. He can almost work every room because of his IQ. So if Code Switching is your brain, then I think we've all had to do it. But I've never had to do what Boots has asked my character and Lakeith's character and Danny's character to do in life. Never with my voice, no. Terry, what about you?

I've always just been me. It's kind of made me who I am, made my career. It made me an activist right now, which is kind of wild. You know, because when I look at, you look at Hollywood, you look at, you know, what the whole thing is. what's happening with me even with this whole Me Too thing. I'm going to bring it up because I really want to talk about it. The big deal is that they want me to accept to myself that I'm less than a human being. They literally want me to sign off and say, I am less than you.

What you did to me is okay. And it's not okay. It's not okay to do that to anybody. In fact, you get so, and this is what happens in this movie, it's addressed on a social level, it's addressed on an economic level, these things are addressed politically. But when you're talking about this whole thing, people are trying to trick you into damaging your own self-image

because if you do it to yourself, you're already in a cage. And the thing is, they do that by spreading shame. They do that by spreading these kind of things to make you feel... The fact that this man feels like... I'm going to just tell you the rules. You work anywhere. You go to work.

You should not be molested. Whoever molested you should be fired. They don't think that. They're like, oh, man, what kind of person are you to think you're even worth saying something? Like, every dime I spend on my case actually is increasing my own self-worth. That's the whole thing. Now, one of the other things is that I'm supposed to punch him out because that's the whole trope that we've been taught. I mean,

here I am, 240 pound black man, played in the NFL, the whole thing. The trope is now I'm a big violent man. I'm supposed to just... I had even black men coming at me like, hey man, you supposed to go knock his head off. But the thing is, and they're like, man,

your career ain't even all that for you to be, know letting your balls get felt on and all this stuff and not do nothing but this is the thing my family is all that and i had to look at the big picture the big right and the most important thing i know who i am i know i'm a father i know I'm a father. I know I'm a husband. I know who I am as a human being. I know how much I'm worth. And that affects everything. What did your wife say in that moment? Because she was with you.

Did she say, you're just going to let him grab your... Listen, she was the one who trained me. She said, first of all, three years earlier. See, you got to understand, y'all got to look at the whole picture. A lot of times the whole picture hasn't been taught. I've knocked people out. There have been people who've been knocked out. And a lot of people have seen the wrong end of what I've done.

And she pulled me to the side and said, you can't do that. She said, we'll lose everything. She said, Terry, you are a target. I go through that too. That's cold switching, by the way. I go through that too. The thing is, if somebody yells at me, a white guy comes up to me and yells at me

and calls me a n***a, and the whole thing is, okay, I'm supposed to hit him, I'm supposed to smack him, but the thing is, I would only get angry if I really felt I was a n***a, but I'm not a n***a.

Sometimes you got to show them that disrespect will be met with disrespect. That's a show. See, but what you just said, that's a show. But the thing is, it's like if somebody come up and called me poor, I'm like, I'm not poor.

I know I'm not poor. I wouldn't even get angry. How do you teach them not to do it again? How do you teach that guy who grabbed your b---- or the white man that called you a b---- not to do that again? That's a good question. First of all, what I'm doing right now, a lawsuit. Straight up.

I didn't give up my lawsuit. I'm spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend myself, to be the plaintiff. Because this is what everybody's got to understand. If I hit him, I'd be in court anyway. You understand? I'd be spending this money anyway. That's what people don't understand. I would be straight up the defendant.

Because if I knocked him out, you think they would have had any sort of mercy on me? They would have had not one bit of mercy on me. So the whole point is, now I flipped the script. They're like, he didn't do nothing. Well, why are you even suing? I'm going, man, because I'd be here anyway. This is money I'd be spending anyway. All right, we got more with the cast of Sorry to Bother You,

which is Terry Crews, Amari Hardwick, and Boots Riley. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. EJ, Envy, Angela Lee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have the cast of Sorry to Bother You in the building.

It's Terry Crews, Amari Hardwick, and Boots Riley. How did you feel when Russell Simmons said to drop it? The whole Russell Simmons thing? Yeah. First of all, first of all, me and Russell don't talk like that. Why are you emailing me? You see, this is the thing. Everybody want to be, now you my buddy.

Now you my friend. But see, this is what y'all don't know. A lot of people don't know. Russell Hanks with Dome Guy. Russell Hanks with Adam Bennett. Russell Hanks with Brett Ratner. I know what the whole thing is. You ain't guys like me.

I'm from Flint, Michigan. All these cats mean, oh, well, you didn't mean it. I didn't mean it like that. No, I know exactly what you meant. And you calling me talking about give this brother a pass. Nobody gets a pass. Nobody. And I'm like, why are you even emailing me?

We don't hang out together. We don't do nothing together. I don't know what you're talking about, man. And so the fact is, and I saw it for what it was. And believe me, when it first came out, I ignored it. When he emailed me at first, I ignored it. And then all of a sudden, he's like, I got zero for what it was. And believe me, when it first came out, I ignored it. When he emailed me at first, I ignored it. And then all of a sudden, he's like, I got zero tolerance for this thing. I'm like, wait a minute.

You say you got zero tolerance, but you told me to get a dude to pass when the dude did it to me. I said, that's because abusers protect abusers. This culture protects it. They protect each other like that. And I'm like, I have no tolerance for it. This is the thing. The thing that you serve is also the thing you got to eat.

That's the real deal. And if you serving it, one day it's going to come back to you. And whatever you want to do, you ain't getting away with it. Even if it's a d***, though. Oh, my goodness. Have you seen people not mess with you because of this? Yeah, I want to know that. Oh, yeah.

First of all, I walk in, and now the room is split down the middle. It's like, oh, I got to go this way. And that's good, because I would have never worked with you anyway. Man, look, like I said, I am me. I've always been me. It's weird, because there have been times when I did things, and I wasn't black enough. There's times that I've done stuff, and they called me, oh, you selling out.

Or you do Friday after next and they're like, oh, man, now you down. But I'm going, wait a minute, I've always been just me from the beginning. And always just been Terry Crews. I saw people victim shaming you, Terry. They were like, oh, Terry always got his shirt off and he always flexing his abs. Or Terry's played gay roles before. As if that justifies that man grabbing your ass.

Whatever, man. Listen, again, the arguments are ridiculous. That stuff is ridiculous. I'm just dealing with the facts as they lay. You cannot do this to anybody else. Anybody. No one. And the problem is, and this is the thing, if you don't protect the women, it's happening to you.

They're coming after you. I'm trying to tell you. I was standing there, and I'm going, wait a minute. It's got to the point where they tricked everybody into thinking it's part of the job. You're like, no, it's not. You're like, hey, man, this is part about being in Hollywood. Come here. No, it ain't.

No, it ain't. And you know what? I will be the first one always saying no, no, no. And I'm going to tell you, it's just about to hit the music industry. It's been hitting. I tell people all the time, this is not a witch hunt. It's a fumigation. Because if you've been acting like this for a long, long time, I'm done.

I grew up in the culture, man. I grew up in pimp culture. I know what it is. I know the molesters. I know them. You go to church, they're there. You go to the hood, man. I grew up in pimp culture. I know what it is. I know the molesters. I know them. You go to church, they're there. You go to the hood, they're there. I know these cats, and they try to gaslight

you and make you think you don't know what's going on. Man, look, you're in church, they try to turn you out. You're on the street, they try to turn you out. I've been up there. I've seen it, and I know it, and I see them cats. I remember when I was 14 and walking around. I'm in school, and a grown-ass man's like,

look at that ass. I'm like, wait a minute. Ain't you 50? Ain't you 50 years old? Do you look at that ass? Yes, and I'm 14 years old. And I'm like, he's a molester. No, I don't think he was talking about him.

He was talking about the girls. No, what I'm saying, he's looking at women that... Oh, I was like, damn, Terry. I'm sorry. Let me clarify. You've been getting it for a long time. But what I'm saying is, I've seen these kind of abuses. Right.

Got you, got you. And people feel like that's just part of being a man, but it's got nothing to do with being a man. Now, what made you guys take the role in this film? Because watching the trailer, I've only seen a small part of it, but it seems like it's a little high. You had to be a little high to watch this. You had to be a little high.

Like, you know, I'm watching part of it seems like it's a little high. You have to be a little high to watch this. Like, you know, I'm watching part of it and it's looking sane. Then all of a sudden I see a guy with a one-eye come out and then a white guy with a gun. So what made y'all do this film? It was, you know, it was interesting. It was dope as hell listening to Terry just break all of that down. I'm like, this is a different interview

because I watch you and Envy. I mean, you're in Maine all the time, but in reality, the depth of which we started this interview, a lot of that was the reason that I chose to do the movie because underneath all of the stuff that you say you might need some herb to really get through, underneath is like a freaking incredibly detailed story about that which we go through in this country

as it pertains to, as Terry said, social political, socioeconomic, gender realities. For me, it was very clear when I had the first conversation with Boots, this man to my right. I was in Italy with the family, finally vacating off of promoting power with Curtis.

I was in Italy, too. I wasn't on the phone. He was in Oakland. He was in Oakland, and he had this conversation with me, and he told me, he said, you know, particularly your role, and we're going to create this thing where there's no real name to your character. It'll be Mr., just Mr. And I thought, damn, that's different.

And he brought up Toni Morrison and her, you know, figuring some of that out through a book that she had written, and I thought that was brilliant. And then I thought, well, what do you mean about my character sort of being this? He said it's unidentifiable because he's still trying to, he knows a lot. I decided to do the one eyepatch with Boots' permission

because I think he's all seen even though you think he's only seen with one eye. He's a guy that's kind of in the midst of maybe being called a sellout, but at the same time he actually knows what's going on next to Armie's character which represents the man in America, be like, no, get here. This is where you want to get.

To Terry's point, Hollywood says, this is where you want to get. And you might go, nah. So Lakeith's character is kind of going against that. And the fact that I could play this conduit, this bridge between the two, and not really be a sellout, but actually be the one that had the information, that's what specifically attracted me. But then the f***ing cast.

Danny Glover, this man to my left who I've known for 17 years now, Lakeith Stanfield, one of our young, great young actors, Tessa Thompson, who I've known forever. Once Boots said, okay, oh, here's the cast. He didn't get through three people before I said, oh, f*** it, I'm in, this is incredible. Do you think that the movie makes light

of real life situations like racism? It's not making light of it what it does is it makes things more ridiculous to show the contradiction clearer and that heightening of contradiction happens in two places when we analyze something we show the contradictions to show how how society functions like even if you're doing a college lecture, you heighten things and exaggerate to show the contradiction. That's exactly the same thing that's done with comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I always wonder if the people who are supposed to receive the message in this film, which would be the oppressors, the white people, do they receive the message? I always wonder the same thing. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. I'm not making a...

You know, I'm not under the feeling that the way that we make social change is we beg oppressors to change. In my opinion, the way that you make change is you force someone to have to choose between you're going to make less money or you're going to make no money, you know? And so this film is not about talking to someone with power and hoping they see more. It's about talking to each other. Alright, we got more with the cast of Sorry to Bother You. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have the cast of Sorry to Bother You, a new flick that comes out in July. Terry Crews, Amari Hardwick, Boots Riley, Vanessa Carlton. Do you ever get tired of that song? Never. Because that is such a classic scene from White Chicks.

They give a wing downtown, walking fast. Places pass and I'm homebound. Do you ever get tired of people coming to you? Do you ever get tired of that old? Never, never. I don't understand people who get tired of their own stuff. I don't understand. I'm so tired. No, I just keep doing it.

But see, the thing is, I never stop working. See, when you have that, and then you put Everybody Ate Chris on top of it, and you put Brooklyn Nine-Nine on top of it, and you put all these other movies on top of it, you put Sorry to Bother on top of it, I'm satisfied. You know what I mean? Now, if it stopped there, I'd be tired of it. And you put all these other movies on. You put Sorry to Bother on top. I'm satisfied. You know what I mean? Now, if it stopped there, I'd be tired of it. That's a good point.

Now, Amar, did you have a problem taking this role since you are very much a ghost to a lot of people and it's hard to see you in any other role? Because every time I saw you on the screen, I was like, there go ghosts. Yeah, there goes ghosts. I see them out there. You didn't even see the movie.

I said, no. I said, when I see them out here, I'm like, there's ghosts. There's always ghosts. I mean, do you, so I'm always ghost to you like I have inability as an actor or I'm always ghost in your mind?, do you, so I'm always ghost to you, like I have inability as an actor, or I'm always ghost in your mind? See, you ghost right now. See, you see.

No. I know. I had to back up. I was like. I don't know. I don't know. Like, I'm not. You don't know what he means.

I don't know. Yeah, you know what he means? Should I just do power for the rest of my career? No. Should I? Huh, Envy? No. Here's the thing. People don't give him as much credit as an actor because he's so good in that role that they think he's not acting.

And this man is a poet. He's, you know, I mean, he might be buff and might knock you out if you do something, but he's a hippie. You know what I'm saying? I feel like, man, I'm an amalgamation of Terry Crews and Lakeith Stanfield. Wow. But think about it, Envy. I played a homosexual age victim married to Janet Jackson. What Tyler Perry movie was that?

For Color Girls. That's right. I mean, there's 15 year careers just so funny. People go, it's like, I guess once it goes tapping, it just it just and it's like, it's pretty fascinating. I was dating for six years. I never had to do this movie is because

Yeah, I just because I've never had any, I mean, I did Shot Caller, right? I did Shot Caller season two with Jon Bernthal. I'm a warden in Shot Caller. I don't know. It's just one of those things where I have to remind everybody, but guys, I'm an actor. So Patton Oswalt does his white voice.

David Cross does Lakeith's white voice. And when Patton was in the studio doing it, he was like, so this guy isn't going to get mad at me and want to fight me. I'm like, well, first of all, this is film. Yeah. And second of all, he'll even go on a hug. I want to say this to, I want to say it to, and you asked that, right?

No, I asked. Charlamagne asked. I want to say to, because it, you asked that, right? No, I asked you. Charlamagne asked you. I want to say to, because it's a lob. It's a lob. It's like Charlamagne just gave us a Derek Fisher night. I don't remember what year,

but this is my opportunity to slam it home. Charlamagne and Envy. Charlamagne for sure, because I find Charlamagne to be the deep poet of the group. Charlamagne knows the talents of Omari. Charlamagne even knows that i'm with music

he knows that he knows it so the lob is oh you gotta keep strategically doing things that get you away from ghosts but it's scary or is it not scary and i go charlamagne it can't be scary because if i'm a novice to terry's point then maybe it's scary. Because my bread and butter is this thing. If I'm Michael B. Jordan's age and I do Ghost, uh-oh. But if I've done all these things preceding Ghost, then God bless Netflix. Because you'll go back and go,

oh, shit, there was a lot of shit before. God bless you, Netflix. So now that I've played Ghost, which is a beautiful testimony to the security of Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and going, I think I know the right person for the part. He could have f***ing picked the wrong person for the part. And I don't know if we have a show like this.

So for 50 to be that secure and to get Courtney on board and to get stars behind it, then it makes Charlamagne, it makes Boots, it makes Envy, it makes Terry go, well, even as his brother and as his friend, this s*** was the right pick for this character. Sometimes we can't not see him. But in reality, if you're the right pick for whatever Sidney Poitier was the right pick for, four to five times being the right pick,

we don't really have an opportunity to celebrate Sidney as a legend or the icon that he is if he didn't do very good all the other things that he's done. So we all want the same thing. I majored in journalism. I was in the world of Envy and Charlemagne. That was my major. But I always heard God saying, yeah, but you're a storyteller.

So Charlemagne and Envy are still limited as to the way they tell stories, but Satellite, for example, has allowed y'all to be not as limited. You know what I mean? So I think as Ghost, if he's the journalist that's stuck within the parameters of what we know him to be,

then it does tell on brown people as to how wide we see and how wide we don't see. But what's ironic about it is Ghost Envy is wide as f***. So you'd almost think this guy has to be a really wide actor because Ghost is 35 feet wide. It's just that there's so much width there. I think Boots makes a great point by going it's hard for folks to see all the different

ways that O's get into the basket if it's analogous to basketball coming off the playoffs if he's Ghost because Ghost is getting to the hoop so many different ways. It's the code switching that Charlamagne speaks of. Remember when everybody thought the Fonz, the dude that played the Fonz, was like that? Henry Winkler.

And you start seeing him, you're like, oh. You're like, why are you showing him? And a lot of people, Charlamagne, like Ghost more than Omari. You hear a lot of people going, I like Ghost. And it tells on them. It's like, you needed a guy 75 feet wide to play a guy 35 foot wide. I'm going to be honest with you. If your friends are saying that, then something's wrong.

It ain't my friends. But they should know you. It ain't my friends. I'm saying that be honest with you. If your friends are saying that, then something's wrong. It ain't my friends. They should know you. It ain't my friends. Yeah, okay, okay. I'm saying that young social media world. You know what I mean? They asking to rap.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Well said. I'm sitting with Boots tonight. Oh, I thought you meant you want me to rap. Oh, you can do that too. All right.

Listen to the shotgun sonata from Persona's Non Grata with a plot to rock harder than the second Intifada. I do drink fire water, but I'm more like higher water. And we'll slaughter, slaughter, slaughter your armada. Inform your scholars that our alma mater squalors from my squad to pull your collar at your black and white gala. We're cannon fodder for dollars, both under Trump and Obama.

I don't remember the rest, but check this out. Every death is an abrupt one. Every cop is a corrupt one. Without no cash up in the trust fund, every guest won a plus one. I forget the rest. I've been in this directing world. You remind me of Cat Williams' boots, man.

You get that a lot? Well, here's the thing. I would take that as an insult. No, I mean just because people like New York, thank you. Thank you, Envy Charlemagne. Well, here's the thing. I would take that as an insult, but I think... That's not an insult. No, I mean just because people like... Hey, New York, thank you.

Thank you, Envy Charlemagne. Thank you all, man, for having me and Terry in boots. Terry Cruz. Yeah, I mean, if I could do the things that Cat Williams has done for entertainment, then that'll be cool. You on your way? You know, we'll see. When's the movie come out?

July 6th in select theaters, July 13th everywhere. July 6th, go check out Sorry to Bother You. And we appreciate you guys for joining us. Thank you, man. Thanks, Jimmy. Thanks, y'all, dude. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors and talk Dr. Dre. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Dr. Dre is working on a Marvin Gaye biopic. Should be pretty interesting.

Now, a lot of people have been trying to do this in the past. The most recent was Jamie Foxx, who actually had landed the Rights for a Limited series back in 2016, but there's been no movement on that. So now it looks like Dr. Dre is going to be the person that's spearheading this. I wonder if an artist can make another biopic

about an artist without being biased. I'm sure he can. Because when you do biopics, you have to do the good, the bad, and the ugly of a person, and that's something that could be hard to do if you are indeed a fan of said person. As long as it's not your friend. Well, I think the most important thing is to work with the family and people

that actually knew the person so that you can get real inside information. So if you can do that, I think that's really helpful to have people that actually knew the person or interacted with him tell their stories. Because that's something Dre didn't even do for himself, by the way, in Straight Outta Compton. He didn't tell the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I do think it's harder to do it for yourself. He made himself look like a full-blown superhero in Straight Outta Compton. He did, but I guess also because he has other business that he don't want some of that stuff to recirculate. Ah, that's whack. Even if you look at a movie like Notorious, how Diddy was portrayed in that movie,

because he worked on that also, that wasn't the good, the bad in that either. No, it wasn't. But I mean, it wasn't really about Diddy, though. Yeah, but he was a big part of Biggie, like getting discovered and all. He was in it a lot. So. All right.

Now let's talk about Red Table Talk. I know you guys love that show. Jada Pickett-Smith and her daughter and her mom. Well, on Monday's episode, she had EJ Johnson and Cookie Johnson there. And they talked about EJ first coming out about his sexuality on a family trip to Hawaii.

Check out what happened. The very next day, he went to your room? You tell it. And just was like, we're going to get through this and I just need time and then um we both just kind of started crying a little bit then i moved to new york to go to college and when he came back to visit he picked me up for dinner and he was like you know like if i'm happy you're here

wherever we love you i went you know i'm just like okay whatever hug your dad and whatever but he hugged me so hard he almost like broke my back and. And then at that point, I was like, we're going to be okay. I love EJ Johnson. I've had the pleasure of meeting EJ a couple times. I saw EJ on Saturday. I get excited when I see EJ, okay? How excited? EJ is 6'8 and chiseled.

EJ will whip somebody's ass, all right? Whenever I see EJ, the only disappointment I have is the fact. EJ's like the best dressed. He is, but the only disappointment I have is the fact we'll never see him play basketball. That would be amazing. We don't know if EJ can play ball in that. Yeah, that would be amazing. You know how much joy Urban Magic Johnson has brought to people on that court?

We don't know if EJ has skills on that court. I'm sure EJ can ball. Well, here's EJ's mom, Cookie Johnson, also talking about that experience and how she felt like that conversation had turned hurtful. We had to talk with dad and that was a little tough. My husband is the kind of person like he reacts quickly. So everything that came to the top of his head, he just let it out. And I was like, because it hurt my feelings. I know it probably hurt his feelings when he was saying, you know, it's not what I wanted for my son. And do you realize what you're saying?

Because, you know, the world is not going to like that. And do you want to live this life? So afterwards, you know, I told him, I said, I thought that was a little tough. You know, that wasn't right. Whatever. I'm glad E.J. Johnson exists. All right. There you go.

That man makes me happy when I see him. Now, we talked about John Cena and Nikki Bella. They were supposed to get married, and then he wanted to not have kids. He got a vasectomy, and now he's willing to reverse that procedure because he wants Nikki Bella back so badly. They had split up, and that was because John Cena did not want to ever become a parent, and now he's saying that he does want to marry her once that relationship, once it marries. He said, I will give you a child.

I will sacrifice, and he will undo that vasectomy in order to get his girl back. You can unclog your pipes just that easy? Yep. Just untie the knot? You can. Really? Mm-hmm. Okay.

So that's good for them. All right, Lauryn Hill, her Miss Education tour is going down. It starts July 5th at Virginia Beach, and she's going to have a whole lot of openers on that tour. She's celebrating the 20th anniversary of that legendary album, The Miss Education of Lauryn Hill. Some of the people that will be on that tour include Nas, M.I.A., my best friend, Santi Gold, A$AP Rocky, SZA, Big Boy, De La Soul,

Busta Rhymes, amongst others. So there will be a whole lot of people joining her as well. It is amazing how Lauren Hill has created a timeless body of work that she has been eating off for how many years now? It's been 20 years. At least 20. That's all? Yeah, that album's a classic album.

Oh, that was 98, right? Yeah, absolutely. Because you got to think, there was Fuji's albums first, and then she did Miseducation. So other people that will be joining her, Taleb Kweli, Dave East, Dave Chappelle, a whole lot of things going on.

So if you guys want to go and see that classic album, make sure you go check out Lauryn Hill. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Who are you giving that donkey to?

Oh, man, I have to take it to my neck of the woods, Charleston, South Carolina. I need a young brother named Leroy Joe Small to come to the front of the congregation, man. Always remember, in life, preparation is key. Leroy. If you stay ready, you don't got to get ready, okay? You know, most Leroys are a little crazy. That is a fact. All right.

Except for Bruce Leroy. He was amazing. We'll get into, he was a fake person. That is a fact. All right. Except for Bruce Leroy. He was amazing. We'll get into... He was a fake person. We'll get into Donkey of the Day up next. Keep it locked. This is Breakfast Local Morning. I was born a donkey.

It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, June 20th goes to a 20-year-old man named Leroy Joe Small. Now, Leroy is from my neck of the woods, South Carolina, the low country, North Charleston to be exact.

Drop one of Clues bombs for the 843, damn it. Let me tell you something, man. With all the heavy stuff going on in the world, sometimes you just have to take a break and go seek out a laugh just to keep from crying. And Leroy Joe Small has created some comedy for me this morning. See, I always say life is a movie. Some of us are living a drama. Some of us are living a tragedy.

Some of us are living a romantic film. Some of us an action thriller. Some of us a crime film. Some of us just a full-blown comedy. Okay? If you are living a great life, you'll probably have a mixture of all those different film genres in your existence. But Leroy Small has provided us one of the greatest comedic scenes I have heard about in a long time. See, Leroy on Tuesday was charged with failure to stop for blue lights.

Simple offense, right? Okay? A lot of people have led police on high-speed chases before. A lot of people have hit the gas to shake the police. Right. Now, let me paint the scene. It's shortly after midnight in North Charleston. OK, police were in the area of King and Romney Street when they stopped the car for a traffic violation. One of the officers said he saw the passenger of the car making movements toward the rear passenger seats. Round of applause to the North Charleston police for not shooting and killing this foolish young man who clearly has not gotten a memo to not make any sudden moves around police officers in this

climate. Now, according to a report, when the officer asked the passenger and the driver to get out, this happened. A North Charleston man facing charges tonight after police say he tried to speed away from officers. One thing, though, his car was in park. 20-year-old Leroy Small was arrested and charged with failure to stop for blue lights. Police say just after midnight, officers pulled him over for a traffic stop. When they asked him to get out, officers say Small looked directly at them, then pressed down on the gas pedal. Again, the car was in park. Police say Smalls then put the car in drive and then drove down King Street.

He was eventually stopped at Clements and Spruill Avenues, according to police. He was given a $10,000 bond. Bro, this is like the roadrunner yelling beep beep before he runs off but forgetting he had no legs. Okay, this is like shooting a jump shot and turning around and throwing your hands in the air like it went in and not even realizing that you shot an air ball. This is like performing on stage and then running to stage dive and nobody catches you and your ass just hits the floor. What is so interesting about this situation is that he just knew

he was about to be out. The fact he looked the cop dead in his eye is a telltale sign that he thought he had one up on the police and he was about to get away. But his dumb ass forgot to move that gear shift from P to D. Southwest Airlines I have your new commercial right here,

courtesy of Leroy Joe Small of North Charlton, South Carolina. This scene is it. Let's hear it. The officers pulled him over for a traffic stop. When they asked him to get out, officers say Small looked directly at them, then pressed down on the gas pedal. Again, the car was in park. Want to get away? Some donkey of the days just saw themselves. Please give Leroy Joe Small the sweet sounds of the Hamilton was in park. Don't want to get away. Some donkey of the day has just saw themselves.

Please give Leroy Joe Small the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's fleece. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Come on, North Charleston. You're sounding like Florida. Yeah, well, that didn't work out. Mm-mm. All right, well, Charlamagne, thank you so much for that Donkey of the Day.

Yes, and we got ASCII coming up next, right? That's right. Today is hump day, so you know it's time for ASCII. So if you have any advice that you might need to get, make sure you call me up, 1-800-585-1051, and I will help you out. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Yes, what's up? I'm Angela Yee. It is The Breakfast Club and it's time for Ask Yee. Now we are going to be taking your calls and I'll give some advice out from my own experiences and what I've seen and what I know.

Right now we have Desiree on the line. What's up, Desiree? Hey, how you doing? Good, how are you? Fine. I just want to say I love you guys. I love The Breakfast Club. Okay, thank you. Thank you for having us. We appreciate you? Fine. I just want to say I love you guys. I love the Breakfast Club. Okay. Thank you for having us.

We appreciate you, Desiree. What's your question this morning? I want to know, how do you, like, not make a man mature, but see things your way? Like, I want to move to Atlanta and become a lawyer. But my boyfriend is, like, in this thing where, well, we got to take our, I mean, I understand we got to take our time, but he's like, well, we got to do this, and we got to do that. But I'm like, we don't really have much time

to be doing this and doing all that. We need to get ourselves together right now and go ahead and move. But he's not, I don't feel like he's really with the move. Like, he'll move, but he's not going to move to better. He's going to move to partying and some s***. So you feel like he's just not mature enough right now. You have things that you want to do for your career

and for yourself, for your life, and he's not on the same page. Yeah. Well, Desiree, how old are you? I'm 25. Okay, you're 25 years old.

And sometimes it is hard for people to be on the same page when you're in a relationship. And you know, women, we do tend to mature a lot faster than men. Right.

And get it together a lot quicker. I want to say this, though, because sometimes I feel like my boyfriend's extremely immature as well in certain ways. And sometimes he does step up to the plate. But I do feel like if there's things that you're really passionate about and that you want to pursue in life, you should make sure that you do those things or you'll have resentment for it. Now, if he decides that he wants to come along and grow up and join you and figure it out, then that's great. If he decides he doesn't want to

and you guys have a long-distance relationship while you're pursuing your dreams and your goals, then that could potentially work out also. Or maybe you guys just won't end up being on the same page at all. But I do feel like it's a mistake not to pursue your dreams and the things that you're passionate about.

Right. I feel like, because I already dropped out of college when I got pregnant with my son. And I want to go back now. I want to go back to something more serious so people can take me more serious. And he he went to court and he was like, yeah, you could do that. You got a good debate on you could do that. I'm like, yeah, I know I can do that. So what can I tell him to like, you know, get him going like you need to think of something you need to do. Right. And that's hard for people that aren't as self-motivated as you are. And maybe you need to give him like that same motivation that he gave you because he did obviously, like you just said, support you and actually encourage you to do something that maybe you didn't have the confidence and maybe he doesn't have the confidence.

Right. So maybe you maybe you need to brainstorm with him and tell him what you think he's great at and give him that confidence as well. Right. Right, right. Alright, well, good luck. And again, like, you guys could still have a long-distance relationship and see how that works, but if there's something that you... I don't think I'm good with the long-distance thing.

I need to know what you're doing. I can't go... Like, I'm that type of person, like, if I don't know what you're doing, I'm gonna be mad because I don't know what you're doing. Like, I'm that type of person. It I don't know what you're doing, I'm going to be mad because I don't know what you're doing. I'm that type of person. It's sad to say, but if you don't text me back, I'm like, oh, well, who are you texting? You're not texting me. I'm that type of person.

Desiree, you may need to work on that as well. Okay, you may need to know that that's something you've got to work on within yourself because if he hasn't given you any reason to feel that way, you can't jump to conclusions all the time. That's not good for a relationship either. So work on some things within yourself, but just make sure you pursue your dreams and hopefully he'll be up for the challenge and support your man and encourage him as well. I do that. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, guys.

All right. It's Ask Yee. 1-800-585-1051. Call us up. Let me know if you need some advice. What's up? It's Angela Yee. And we are in the middle of Ask Yee, where you can call me up and ask me for advice

about absolutely anything no judgment zone. Right now, we got Anonymous on the line. What's your question? So, I have a history of dating straight up

**** boys. Uh-huh. Like, for my ex, for instance, he was good at first when we first started dating. We had a job and everything.

But when I started working, getting a better job within the six months of us dating, I had moved up, started getting a federal job. Really good money at an age of 21. Doing good for myself, paying my own bills. Good for you. He wanted to quit his job. Fast forward to now. That was back in February.

So now I'm single. I'm doing great for myself, but every guy that comes my way, he don't have nothing going for himself. They got a job, but later on,

they see, oh, I can do for myself. Maybe she gonna do for me too. You know? So I deal. But the guy that I deal with on the side,

consistently, he got a job. He make money, got a good job, just cashed out on Beamer. But when I talk about settling down with anybody or anything, he ain't talking about it. Now that he's talking about it, I'm not a prospect. Like, what? So you've been messing with this guy, sleeping with him and everything, but y'all just have a casual relationship. And he doesn't want to settle down with you, but he does want to settle down.

Yeah. We talk about any, everything. We basically have threesomes together, everything, but I'm not a prospect for you, but we can do everything else together. Well, yeah, maybe that's what the problem is. The problem is that you're giving him everything that he wants, and so he doesn't feel like it's a challenge in any way at all. You're having threesomes with him. He's kind of looking

at you as just a good time girl. And he's being very honest, but he's being very honest with you about it. So what are you doing to change that? Really nothing. I say we've talked about being together, and I always tell him like, I would see us being together, but I don't want to lose

the friendship that we already have because our connection is very strong. Like, I talk to him about the guys that I deal with, he talks to me about the girls he's dealing with. But at the same time, if we wanted to, we could but on my end, I just don't want to lose the friendship that we've already the bond that we've built. And I feel

like a relationship would destroy that. You know what's interesting? I've heard guys say that they couldn't be with a girl that they've had threesomes with. They can't picture that person being their wife. And maybe he's one of those kinds of guys. Some guys love it. And some guys feel like, well, that's not wife material. And it really would be up to you to, if you pull back on giving him everything that he wants

and giving him access to you and access to you in the bedroom and access to being your best friend and access to everything with no holds barred without him having to commit that's what it is he don't feel like he has to be with you because he has everything he wants from you anyway he probably feel like he could get married to somebody and still be with you if he wanted to right because you haven't put any boundaries on things because you're just allowing him to do whatever he wants. Everything's on his time. And all you're doing is whatever he pleases.

So if you still want to be friends with him, then you need to cut doing all those things out. The only way he'll miss something is if he doesn't have it. All right, thank you so much. All right, Anonymous. And I love y'all. I listen to your lip service, Charlamagne. I listen to Brilliant Idiots.

I love all y'all. Envy, you and KC Crew, y'all need a show. Oh, yeah, they have a show coming to Bravo, so don't you worry. I'm going to be watching it, so yes. But love y'all. Thank you. Thank you, Anonymous. Appreciate you.

That's ASCII. You can call us every, what time we do this? 8 o'clock? It depends on when. Come on. Charlamagne, we know Amy just ran out the room, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to do this every day for the past seven years. Whenever we tell you to call for ASCII, just call.

Okay, 1-800-585-1051. We got a room report coming up, yeah? Yes, we'll be talking about vaginas. I know that's exciting. Yes, it always is a pleasure to talk about vaginas. All right, calm down, Charlamagne. We'll be talking about poom pooms when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Listen up, it's just in. All the gossip, gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Chrissy Teigen recently posted herself actually getting a vajayshal.

What is a vajayshal? Yeah, what is that? Well, it's vaginal steaming. So she was wearing a face mask and she had a vagacial. What is a vagacial? What is that? Well, it's vaginal steaming. So she was wearing a face mask and she had a heating pad. And it was a spa moment. She put up mask, heat pad, vagina steam. No, I don't know if any of this works, but it can't hurt, right? So a lot of people have been talking about this vagina steaming.

You're baking your pom-pom a little bit. Yeah, basically you kind of hover over a steamed blend of dried herbs including mugwort and that can help you manage PMS symptoms, uterine cramping, fertility and menopause symptoms as well. So a lot of spas actually do vagina steaming, but according to health experts

there's no real benefits to it. To be honest with you, it sounds like it's no real benefits. That's just all mind tricks. It's not like a hot shower. I'm going to steam your vagina and tell you that it does all these things for you. It's a warm shower. Yes, one expert actually says that overheating can promote an overgrowth of unhealthy bugs and yeast infections. And they did say that after having a baby, your vagina undergoes profound changes to prepare for birth, but also to help it heal afterward.

And steaming won't change that. And in no way can the steam get to your uterus or other pelvic organs. Now, what if you got a really bad yeast infection and you steam it a lot and then one day a loaf of bread just comes out of your vagina? Shut up. That doesn't work like that. A loaf of yeast. I think that's a different type of yeast. A bunch of yeast rolls.

All right. Well, Jada Pinkett Smith, also on Red Table Talk, was actually talking about things that she had to do for her vagina. She said she underwent this treatment, vaginal rejuvenation, after suffering from bladder problems. Check it out. I could definitely feel that, I mean, when I tell you that I have my yoni as like a 16-year-old, I'm not kidding. So it's a technique where they introduce heat, which stimulates cellular turnover, which makes you feel younger again. It gets you tight, gets you nice.

Yeah, but at least say the vagina is 18. At least make the vagina of age. Don't say the vagina feel like a 16-year-old. My God. Yeah, that sounds pretty... Come on, man. Say 18 next time. Pervy.

Yes. All right, Michael Jackson. There's a Michael Jackson musical that's going to be coming to Broadway. Are you excited about that? That's going to be happening in 2020. Right now it's untitled, but they're going to actually have that on Broadway. I think I would go check that out. No?

Michael Jackson musical coming to Broadway. I'm going to have to wait for the reveal, see if it's good. All right. And Pharrell is teaming with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris. He's going to be doing a musical about Juneteenth, which is the holiday that celebrates the abolition of slavery. So Kenya Barris is going to do this like an opera slash musical. And Pharrell is going to write, compose and produce the music. So, yeah.

There you go. That's all your different musicals. Are you interested in that? No. No, I'm happy for them, but I'm not interested. All right. And in other news, Blac Chyna is single again, according to her, I guess, former boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, YBN Almighty J.

He posted, Blac Chyna and I, and he added her, are no longer together. So we don't know what could have potentially happened. But now they are split up. She's 30 years old. He's 18 years old. So the two of them, I guess, are back on the block. He was young, right? He's like.

I just said he was 18. 18, right. I would like to add to that. I would be interested in a Kenya Barris Juneteenth thing. I just don't know if I want to see it in a musical. You know what I'm saying? With Pharrell doing all the music? I don't know if I want to see that in a musical.

I don't know. Because if you know what Juneteenth is, Juneteenth is when all the slaves were freed from Texas and the Confederate South, if I'm not mistaken. And it's just like, I can just imagine how that'll be. You know what I mean? It'll be like a bunch of happy, I'm free slave songs.

Well, we don't know what it's going to be. I mean, I'm assuming. It potentially happens. Imagine a bunch of slaves singing, I'm happy. I don't think it's going to go. Come on, man. You know that's what it's going to be. I don't think so.

I'll give it a chance. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
