Episode Date: August 27, 2019

Today on the show we had media personality Melyssa Ford stop by who just joined the Iheart team. She spoke on her tragic car accident, working with her co host on Hollywood Unlocked and more. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" Bobby Brown's sister for making up that he got into a car accident and then we opened up the phone lines to see if any of our followers knew how to change a tire after DJ Envy shockingly admitted that he does not know how to during the show.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Danger. Danger. Danger. Everybody come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. You're not lit. You are out of control. I can't even Hot Seat. You're alive. You're alive. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty.

Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.

The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning, yo. Well, good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela Yee. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. Yes. I want to curse them damn VMAs last night.

The reason I want to curse those damn VMAs is because they don't give a damn about us old heads. Because if they cared about us old heads, they'd have put the naughty by nature Queen Latifah, Wyclef Jean. Who else was on? Redman performance much earlier. Oh, yeah, they closed out the show. Yes. It was way past my bedtime. I didn't get to see it.

I definitely was asleep by the time that happened. Oh, no, I definitely saw it because I got a lot of love for Jersey. I mean, I live in Jersey. My daughters are going to be born and raised in Jersey. They are Jersey girls, you know. So I dropped one of the clues bombs for Jersey. So I had to stay up and watch that last night. Yeah, I'm a big fan of Queen Latifah and everything that she was doing when I was coming up.

Ladies first, UNITY. Oh, she killed it last night. Pulled up on the motorcycle. I got to watch that now. Pulled up on the motorcycle. I don't salute to the trench from Naughty by Nature. Whatever he had on, I want to wear for Halloween this year. Well, let me go look at this. So the VMAs were good?

I only, to be honest with you, when I walked in the house, because I was in the gym, when I walked in the house, I saw Missy Elliott's acceptance speech. Okay. So I saw everything from Missy Elliott's acceptance speech on up. I saw Taylor Swift acting fake surprised again, which I, you know, it pisses me off that I'm surprised that she still acts fake surprised when she wins awards.

Maybe she really is. No, she doesn't. That is the biggest act in the history of acts, okay? Not only did she act fake surprised when she won the award last night, she had like 20, 30 people come on stage with her,

and all of them act surprised too. As if you don't have to tell people in advance, hey, I want y'all to come up with me when I win this award. So people know they're winning before they win? I think certain people do. Okay. I think an artist like Taylor Swift would.

We really need you to come. Maybe they just say, listen. You can tell by the seating. FYI, we do need you to be there. And you can tell by the seating. But Taylor Swift would get a great seat regardless. But with her 30 friends that she bought on stage, Todrick and the rest of the gang,

well, Todrick was sitting right by her. You know her whole crew? I mean, I know Todrick. Who don't know Todrick? Everybody knows Todrick, right? You don't know Todrick? I don't know who that is. Y'all know Todrick? No. No, Todrick got more followers than all of us on social media. Todrick got hip-hopping. Todrick had a TV show on MTV at one point. Oh, I don't know. I'm not like the...

I think he choreographed her video that she won the award for, if I'm not mistaken. All right. Yes. You're a Swifty. Definitely not a Swifty. Is that what they're called? Swifty?

I don't like that much mayonnaise on my sandwich. All right, well, I've been having a crazy week because Angela Yee Day is tomorrow in Brooklyn, so it's just been a lot of planning for me.

It's my first year doing this, so I have a huge free event in Brooklyn with a lot of performances. I did Good Day New York yesterday with a reggae artist, Christopher Martin. He's been on the Breakfast Club before. And so a lot of people are going to be performing. So shout out to everybody who is coming out. Dovey Magnum, Naomi Cowan,

Christopher Martin, Hood Celebrity, Flip De Niro, Noah Poa, DJ Nori, DJ Suave, DJ Spice. Everybody's just doing this. It's a big free event. A lot of reggae, reggae gold, VP records and all of that. So I'm just excited for that. But it's been a lot of work. I'm not going to lie. You know how you have a huge event that you're planning and you're just waiting for it to be over? I feel like I just need this to go well and be over and then I can

relax. Why didn't you hire somebody to plan it for you? It's my first time doing it and I'm a very hands-on person and it's my event. So you know how you want to make sure this goes well so next year it can be easier and smoother? Mm-hmm. This is just the first year, so it's a lot of kinks I'm trying to iron out. It's good to be involved with your own things, right? Yeah, but if it doesn't go well, then you only got yourself to blame.

It will. It's no fun. It will. I feel good about it. It will. Absolutely. All right, well, let's get ready for front page news. We were telling you yesterday about this Oklahoma trial case against Johnson & Johnson.

Well, bad news for Johnson & Johnson. We'll tell you about this historic case. And we have a friend coming in here this morning, a homie, a homie, Machine Gun Melly, a.k.a. Melissa Ford from Hollywood Unlocked, will be here. I love Melissa Ford, man. Yes, and she had a very tragic accident last summer that she seems to have bounced back from in a real way. So I think her story may inspire some people.

And she has a new show on iHeart as well with Jason Lee, Hollywood Unlocked. All right. We got a lot of all that type of stuff this morning. It's The Breakfast Club. E.J., M.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. One last thing before you do front page news.

Yesterday we did a poll on how many people know how to change a tire. So the results are in, in 24 hours. 71% of people do know how and 29% said no, they don't know how. So as I said yesterday, most people know how to change a tire. That's over 70%. I believe it. I changed my tire yesterday. I sent y'all guys pictures.

No, you had somebody change it for you. He said it took five minutes. Fix a flat guy. I've changed it in five minutes. It would have took me at least 20 minutes to do that. 30 minutes to do that. Right or wrong? I mean, like I said, it's kind of a really basic skill that a lot of people know how to do.

And shout out to Poppy. Poppy had me done in five minutes. Zip, zip, zip, zip. Zoom, gone. All right, well, let's get into front page news. What are we starting with? Well, let's start with front page news. Where we starting, Ye? Well, let's start with this opioid trial. I can't even say opioid right.

Opioid. Opioid trial in Oklahoma. It's a landmark decision. Now, the judge has ordered that Johnson & Johnson has to pay $572 million. They would have never did this with a crack of a dick. For their role in the state's opioid crisis. Now, what they are saying is that because of all the marketing that they did and false and misleading marketing of their drugs and opioids generally,

they said that the law makes clear that such conduct is more than enough to serve as the act or a mission necessary to establish the first element of Oklahoma's public nuisance law. Now, Johnson & Johnson's already planning to appeal what they call a flawed judgment. Jesus Christ. I really don't even still understand what's going on with this case, but I just know that this would have never happened with the crack epidemic. Well, what they're saying is that Johnson & Johnson had a responsibility and they put

out false and misleading marketing, so people got addicted to opioids not knowing what would happen when they started taking them. So people got addicted because of the marketing of Johnson would happen when they started taking them. So people started taking them, got addicted because of the marketing of Johnson & Johnson. So they are responsible. I wonder what the marketing was, though. Because you have to know that if you take a certain drug, whether it's painkillers or

Oxycontin or anything, that you're going to get addicted to it. People didn't know that back then. This is before that study came out. But back then, people were taking it just to feel good. Didn't know it was addictive. I find that hard to believe because I'm not gonna front, I got caught on painkillers for a moment after I got into a car accident

because they were so good. And then I realized, like, I'm not in pain no more. I just like taking them. Bro, that was like, what, 10 years ago? Way longer than 10 years. That's my point.

It was like, it had to be like, over 20. Well, according to the state of Oklahoma, they're saying that Johnson & Johnson flooded the state with opioids and made it just too accessible for people. And with according to the state of Oklahoma, they're saying that Johnson & Johnson flooded the state with opioids

and made it just too accessible for people. And with the marketing and all of that and the misuse of it and people getting addicted and all of that, that actually contributed to more than 70,000 deaths in 2017. Who can we sue for flooding the streets with crack in the 80s then, God damn it? The government.

We got to deal with all these crack babies because of that. Yeah, pretty much. You know what I'm saying? Who do we sue for that? The government? All right. Also today, up to 30. Ronald Reagan got in the 80s then, god damn it. The government. We got to deal with all these crack babies because of that. Yeah, pretty much. You know what I'm saying? Who do we sue for that? The government? All right. Also today, up to 30...

Ronald Reagan got in the state? I'm sure he does. I'm sure he could try. Flooding the streets for crack babies. And just so y'all know, today, up to 30 women are expected to take

a judge up on his invitation. They will speak at a hearing after Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while in federal custody. So these women will be able to have a chance to have their voices heard.

So the judge did set this hearing after prosecutors asked that they scrap charges against Epstein since he was dead, but now they are going to give these victims a chance to speak, and they're hoping that they'll continue the investigation against Jeffrey Epstein and all of his co-conspirators. Epstein clocked out at the right time, huh? Well, they're saying five women already are going to sue his estate and they're expecting

a lot more. That's why you can't take it with you. Nope. All right. Well, that is your front page news. That's the reason

why I can't take it with you. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset and you need to vent hit us up right now. Maybe on the way

and there was a bad accident and they closed the highway down. Maybe he was up late last night watching the VMAs. Did y'all see Big Sean and A$AP Ferg dancing? I did see that. The VMAs really don't care about

old people, y'all. Because they did not care that we had to get up early in the morning because they put all the old people at the end, knowing that's what I wanted to see. Missy was in the beginning, though. Missy killed it. She was in the beginning. I missed that. I was in the gym. Alright. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Jay, Jay, what's your test? Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Man, this is G from the Brick City. The whole G from Newark. Brick City, Newark, what's happening? Did, this is G from the Brick City. Oh, G from Newark. Brick City, Newark. What's happening?

Did you go to the VMAs? Oh, of course not. But I watched it and I was really disgusted. I feel like MTV humiliated black people last night. It all started out with Megan Thee Stallion's performance. I mean, she looked tore up from the floor. Who's a fashion stylist? She looked like she got her outfit from Forever 21.

I can't believe it. She performed at the pre-show, right? Yeah, yeah. I didn't see it. She looked so bad, they wouldn't even let her perform on the inside. I didn't see Meg the Stallion. What else did you see? Man, it's been Taylor Swift, you know,

performing with two black gay guys. You know, I'm not upset that they were gay, but, you know, they was black and they looked like they needed to be on a vegan diet. They looked disgusting. Oh my gosh, I right now. It is Lizzo. I mean, come on. Lizzo, I like Lizzo, man, but her outfit,

she just looked crazy out there. I love Lizzo. America got a big laugh last night looking at her performance. No, I don't think so. Lizzo's a star. Yeah, I didn't see Lizzo's performance last night, but I know that two years ago Lizzo was hosting the red carpet

of the VMAs. It was me, Lizzo, and DJ Khaled, and this year Lizzo is bodying the stage, so life is all about progression, sir. I understand that, and I could have flown up to Lizzo's dancers in line at the Popeye's trying to get a chicken.

Shut up, man. Knock a little bit. This guy's crazy, man. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Our listeners are so stupid. It's Tisha from Texas. Hey, y'all.

Hey. Hey, Tisha from Texas. Get it off your chest, mama. Oh, you're the S.O.S. I just called to tell y'all that I love listening to you all together. You're moving it by yourself, but like the rap song says, you're a force when you're together.

I thought that was Neil's song. That was Neil's song. Was it? Yes. Okay. I wanted to also tell y'all, I'm not a Nicki hater or a party lover. Kinda I am, but anyway.

Nicki needed that song with Megan. Everybody thinks, oh my God, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki. And it's good, but she needed that song to kind of elevate her back to where she was. I'm not sure that that song has done that. It's put her back in a favorable light, but hasn't put her, elevated her back

to where she is. What song? She's talking about Hot Girl Summer. The Hot Girl Summer song, you know. But I just, you know, I'm not sure if she's ever going to get that back because she was real mean to a lot of people. And people don't forget that. Well, you know what? I mean, I don't think it has anything to do with her attitude. I just think that, you know, you're only in that white hot space once.

You know what I mean? It's very rare for somebody to stay red hot, white hot for a long period of time. For long periods of time. And you have to strike while the iron is hot. But when you're in that white light, you cannot be mean. Because if you are, people don't remember that. So if that light comes back around, they may not let it shine. Yep.

And that's in life, though. That's in life. No matter what you do, right? No matter what you do. My birthday is Sunday, y'all. Congratulations. Okay. Happy birthday. My birthday, Tuesday, y'all. Congratulations. Okay. Happy birthday.

My birthday is Tuesday. Virgos out. Okay. Follow me on Twitter, Letitia D. L-A-T-I-C-I-A-D. All right, mama. Thank you.

Okay, bye. Have a great day. You too. I think you can be as mean as you want as long as you got fire, fire records. Nah, because that one time you ain't got a fire record. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

If you got undeniable music, imagine if Drake was an a**hole for the past 10 years. Wouldn't matter. That is true. That is true. But because he's not, you want to support him. It's the truth. Unless you're Joe Budden.

Oh, my goodness. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

Yeah, I just want to get a hard time today. Hey, get it off your chest, mama. All I heard you say was you got four kids and you got to keep pushing. And that's usually what happens when you have four kids. You just keep pushing. She says she worked overnight and she's super duper tired. Oh. Your phone's breaking out. How many baby daddies you got? Just one.

Oh, okay. Y'all married? We married. Oh, that's beautiful. The world is no matter what happens in life, you got to keep pushing. You got to keep doing your, be independent and have a good life. That's right. You got to treat life like it's labor, baby.

You just got to keep pushing. Now, what part of Jersey are you from? I'm sorry? What part of Jersey are you from? Newark. Newark. I love Newark, the brick city. Now, I'm not going to lie.

This is the part of the conversation where a lot of radio personalities will say, man, we're going to give you something to lighten your load, but we're not that kind of radio show, so we're going to pray for you. No, no, I got you. I got you. How old are your kids, mama? Play is up.

I didn't hear you. You got to get a new phone, but listen, my car show is next week, Saturday. You don't want to come to your goddamn car show? She's going to take the kids

to the car show, man. You want to come take your kids to the car show? Yes, I do. I'll pay for the kids and you and your husband. Y'all all come to the car show on me, okay? He's not really going to the car show? Yes, I do. I'll pay for the kids and you and your husband. Y'all all come to the car show on me, okay? He's not really gonna pay, but he's gonna let y'all in free. Man, it's the same

All right. Thank you. You hold on, okay? Okay. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.

Now, Eve, we got rumors on the way? Well, let's talk about the MTV VMAs. We'll tell you about the winners last night, and you guys can chime in on what you think were the best performances. All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Well, let's talk about the MTV VMA Award winners. Video of the Year went to Taylor Swift. You need to calm down. Too much goddamn manning. That's how I feel about Taylor Swift every time she wins an award. She needs to calm the F down and stop acting so fake surprised all the time. Artist of the Year went to Ariana Grande.

For what? Song of the Year went to Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus for Old Town Road remix. That's obvious. Best New Artist, Billie Eilish. Best Collaboration, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello for Senorita. Push Artist of the Year, Billie Eilish. Best Hip Hop, Cardi B. Wait a minute, who's a push artist?

Is that like a push gif? Yeah, I think these are like newer up and coming. Just make new categories. Making that push right now. Best hip hop is Cardi B, Money. Best R&B went to Normani and Black, Waves. And video for good. What does that mean?

I don't know. Video for good. Taylor Swift, You Need to Calm Down. So there you have it. Those are the winners. Taylor Swift, You Do Need to down. So there you have it. Those are the winners. Taylor Swift, you do need to calm down and stop acting fake surprised every time you win an award. Okay?

Because there was nothing surprising about your win last night because you brought 30 people on stage with you. Now here was Cardi B with the award for best hip hop. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Thank you, everybody. Goodbye. That, Jesus. Thank you, everybody. Goodbye.

That's right. Energy, I'm on forever. Gratitude is always my attitude. To God be the glory, whatever you want to call him. Absolutely. All right. Also, Missy Elliott got the, she got her big award for the Vanguard Award, which was a Michael Jackson one, but they changed it and dropped Michael Jackson. But here's what she had to say.

This Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award they changed it and dropped Michael Jackson. But here's what she had to say. This Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award means so much to me. I have worked diligently for over two decades. And I never thought that I would be standing up here receiving this award. So it means so much to me. I promise you it don't go unnoticed that the support and love that y'all have shown me over the years. I'm going to close bombs with Missy Elliott. That's dope. She killed it, too. Absolutely killed it.

Yes, her performance was amazing. You know, she brought out the young girl who was in the video when she was young. You remember that little girl that was in the video? Yeah, she grew up. It's dope. She had dope dances. She killed it, man. And salute to Missy Elliott for saluting Kid Fury and Crystal. Because, you know, I'm a huge fan and supporter of the Reed podcast. And since last year, they've been campaigning for Missy to win the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award.

And Missy won it. And that's dope to me because it shows the power of the Reed platform. And it's also why when you have a platform, you should celebrate what you like, even if it's not the popular thing to celebrate at that moment. All right. Well, shout out to Missy Elliott. She also dropped Iconology. That was her first music collection in 14 years

and she has a video also out for the song Throw It Back. She got some records on that Iconology. Yeah, on that EP. That Throw It Back is tough. Tough tune. Also Big Sean and A$AP Ferg premiered a song, Berserk, and they were getting it in. Their performance

was pretty good. They were dancing and everything. Not with each other. They was getting it in. You should have seen them dancing. At one point, I looked up, A$AP Ferg was dancing with the dancers. I was like, is that A$AP Ferg with the dancers doing all the same moves? But they definitely was going ham when they was performing. Also, Queen Latifah, they represented for New Jersey.

That was the finale for the show. And they looked at some very iconic New Jersey hip-hop artists Like Fetty Wap, Naughty by Nature, Redman, Wyclef Of course Queen Latifah Ice-T kicked things off And that's it, the energy went crazy afterwards I'm shocked they didn't have Joe Budden up there

He must not have wanted to pump it up Joe or even, most people don't know Sugar Hill Gang They from Jersey That's iconic That's an iconic record That's one of the biggest Hip hop records ever That could have worked

They from Anglewood, New Jersey They could have bought out Shaquille O'Neal. I think about all the New Jersey rappers. I thought they could have bought out Wendy Williams. She raps Jersey hard. She born and raised in Jersey.

She's not a rapper. Shaquille ain't no artist. Shaquille's a rapper. He had an album. He had like two albums. All right, so Wendy did radio all those years. That don't count?

You're telling me radio personality's not a part of the culture? You want her to perform with them? What was she going to do? How you doing? She could have came out and introduced somebody.

They could have brought out everybody from the New Jersey Drive movie. What? See, you're going too far now. I don't even remember who was in the New Jersey Drive movie. And all the music that was on there. They could have brought out

Rascals, The Artifacts, Poor Righteous Teachers. All right, now let's talk about... That's Angela Yee did. How does this shit go? All right, now let's talk about the Forbes 2019 list of the highest paid women in music since we're doing this.

All right, so on that list, at number 10 is Shakira. Number 9 is Celine Dion. Number 8 is Lady Gaga. Number 7 is J.Lo. Number 6 is Ariana Grande. Number 5 is Pink. 4 is Katy Perry. Number eight is Lady Gaga. Number seven is J.Lo. Number six is Ariana Grande. Number five is Pink. Four is Katy Perry.

Number three is Rihanna. The number two on that list is Beyonce. And number one is Taylor Swift. Okay. So Taylor Swift made $185 million. And then second was Beyonce with $81 million. That conservative fan base is huge, man. Mm-hmm.

You know what I'm saying? All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? Yes, Beyond Meat will tell you what restaurant is about to do some Beyond Meat fried chicken.

That sounds so crazy. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting with you? Well, since we just were talking about the VMAs in New Jersey, Newark is getting a $120 million loan to fix their water crisis. And they're supposed to fix that in the next two to three years. So the Essex County Improvement Authority is lending that money to the city of Newark. And that's because pipes are contaminated with lead. That's right. Clean Newark, man.

Newark is a special city. I got mad love for Newark. I was wondering why. I wonder if MTV donated any of the money to Newark, you know, for using Newark, because there's a lot of people out there that don't have water, don't have clean water. There was people protesting out there. I was just wondering if they donated to the city. I don't know if they donated, but I know that that event bought money to the city.

But did it bring money to the right people, to the right community that needed it? I would think they would have to rent the Prudential Center, right? I'm sure it's a union. Yeah, I'm sure it's a union. People would probably hire people from Newark to work there, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of restaurants and businesses nearby hopefully got some of that money too. Not to mention, I'm sure the hood came up a little bit.

Robbed a couple people after the award show. You know what I'm saying? It was a win for everybody. Dropping coupons for Brick City, baby. Kentucky Fried Chicken, they are testing Beyond Meat Fried Chicken in Atlanta this week. So if you're in Atlanta, I want y'all to tell me how it is. So they're testing. Why are you saying no? You can't fake chicken at a chicken spot.

Why not? I thought he was trying to steer people away from eating genetically modified meat. Beyond Chicken is definitely genetically modified meat. It's not meat. It's genetically modified whatever it is. It's not meat. It's genetically modified whatever it is. It's not real. If you are eating beyond chicken, stop lying to yourself about meat. Well, there's no genes in it, so how can it be genetically

modified? Huh? It's not meat at all. But it's genetically modified. It has to be genetically modified. You can't have fake chicken at a chicken spot. Exactly. It's not chicken at all. Beyond meat is like pee isolate.

Why would I go to KFC for fake chicken? What I read about it is plant-based, right? Yeah, it's plant-based. So how the hell you gonna have a plant-based chicken?

Chickens aren't made out of plants. It's genetically modified. It's like when they have burgers but they're made out of black beans. That's a black bean burger. Right.

So this is Beyond Meat chicken. It's not meat. It's not a burger. They're not fake pretending to be beef. I'm not going to a chicken spot for fake chicken. It's chicken. Chickens. So this is a Beyond Meat chicken. It's not meat. It's not a burger, though. They're not fake pretending to be beef. I'm not going to a chicken spot for fake chicken. It's chicken. Chicken's ain't supposed to be plants, is what I'm telling y'all.

It's not that serious. And FYI, Beyond Meat is non-GMO. I just looked it up. So it's not genetically modified anything. Man, it has to be. It's not. There's no such thing as a plant-based chicken. So it has to be genetically modified.

It's not chicken at all. But they make this somewhere. But it's not chicken. It's not chicken at all. But they make this somewhere. But it's not chicken. It's not GMO. Why are they selling fake chicken at a chicken spot? Exactly. It's supposed to be chicken.

So y'all don't eat Beyond Burgers when they have them at like Burger King and all of that. They have Impossible Burgers. It's not real. It's not meat.

Because these are for vegetarians so if you're a vegetarian you can eat this. Why go to a chicken spot? I like the Black Bean Burgers because I at least know what they're made out of. I don't know what Beyond Meat is made out of.

It's made out of pea isolate. All you got to do is look it up. I don't even know what that is. What the hell is pea isolate? Well, anyway, KFC is going to be testing Beyond Meat fried chicken in Atlanta. So if you're in Atlanta and you have no problem with eating that, let me know how it is. Okay, so Beyond Meat is now adding chicken to their lineup of plant-based products, which includes burgers, ground beef, and sausage alternatives, amongst other meat substitutes.

If you want to eat genetically modified meat, just eat the Popeye's chicken sandwich. No. All right. Not if you're a vegetarian. At least you could eat this. All right. Now, Oklahoma has won that case against Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson has to pay $572 million.

That is all for their role in the state's opioid crisis. And they're saying this is a historic case because now other states could follow suit and also take these drug makers to task for their advertising, for flooding the state with opioids. So now they are going to, of course, plan to appeal. What they are saying is that Janssen Pharmaceuticals that Johnson & Johnson owns did not cause the crisis and neither the facts nor the law support this outcome. According to the Executive Vice President and General Counsel for Johnson & Johnson, Michael Ullman, he also said, We recognize the opioid crisis is a tremendously complex public health issue and we have deep sympathy for everyone affected. We are working with partners to find ways to help those in need. But it's not a public nuisance law. It should not be public nuisance law.

So we'll see what happens when they actually try to repeal that. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now when we come back, Melissa Ford will be joining us. Melissa had a damn near life-threatening injury, car accident last year.

She almost died, you know, and she lived to tell the tale. All right, so we'll talk to Melissa Ford about everything that she's working on, her car accident, and more. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building, Melissa Ford. Hi, guys. What did your shirt say? Lick me till I scream. Jesus Christ. Well, I mean, your T-shirt game is so on point that I had to come in here and rep. Well, congratulations, Melissa. Thanks.

First of all, because you guys have the show now on iHeart. I know. Like, what was iHeart thinking, you know? I love it. It's, you know, Jason and I started Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored as the podcast literally like over three years ago and no promise of anything. We just literally sat down in front of a couple of mics and just

started talking to each other. You know? We just discovered we had a lot of really dope chemistry. Y'all do have good chemistry. Jason Lee can be a bit much. I like him. You think? No. He can be a bit exhausting. He's you think alright no he can be a bit exhausting

he's a shrinking violet what are you talking about you know how do you deal with him well how does Angela deal with you that's a good point no

Ang let me ask you this do people come after you for his opinions like don't you why don't you keep him in line how could you let him go off on black women

like this and it's just like it's my fault I'm like I can't make him say anything and I don't always keep him in line? How could you let him go off on black women like this? It's my fault. I'm like, I can't make him say anything, and I don't always agree with what he says. There's nothing I can do about it. And imagine you argue everything all the time. Then people get mad if you argue.

Yeah. And people will be like, oh, why do you got to spoil everything by disagreeing? It doesn't matter. You can't win no matter what you do. Yeah. No, that's clear because I'm in the comments, and I'm like, this shit is exhausting. I'm out. You're not responsible for what Jason said. It's like he's not responsible for what I said. Yeah, no, that's clear because I'm in the comments and I'm like, this shit is exhausting. I'm out.

You're not responsible for what Jason said. It's like he's not responsible for what I said. Exactly. And I love the fact that he has such a big, bold opinion

and he is like fearless in expressing it. That is him. That's his shtick. I am the voice of reason. You know, I'm the myth buster, fact checker,

and I represent for women. I'm the, you know, I'm swimming in testosterone in the studioer and I represent for women. I'm the, you know, I'm swimming in testosterone in the studio with him and DJ Damage. I know. Don't you feel like when you leave work that you're like, I don't even want to talk to a guy for two hours at least. I just need to decompress. Um, I guess

I feel like that. I'd be like, I need to have some women around me and just to like get back to myself for a minute. The dynamic's not different because Jason is gay though. Like me and and envy just fake gay like jason's really gay yeah um no you know what jason is uh one of the most alpha males i've ever met in my life you know he doesn't lead with his sexuality he just also doesn't you know hide it right um's very, very manly. Let me ask you this, because DJ Damage came on the show later than you did.

How many hosts did you guys have to go through? We talk about chemistry and how difficult that is. Until you guys came to the three of y'all, this is it. Jason didn't have any radio experience. He'd done a show with you and Claudia Jordan. The funeral.

Little Moe was on funeral. The funeral, yeah. And Little Moe? Little Moe was on there. Little Moe was on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My God, that show would have been a train wreck. Yeah, that pilot was... Reckless. I hope they burned the audio from that pilot.

Oh, no, it's still available. Trust me. Yeah, I heard a reason. Let's call that up. Oh, yeah. We was wild. He's going to come back to haunt you. Uh-oh, he's nervous.

But Jason was actually pretty quiet in it because trying to get a word in edgewise while you and Claudia Jordan were talking was almost impossible. That was supposed to be you, though. Really? Yeah, I remember Jason saying it was supposed to be you, but I don't know. It was probably because I lived here at the time or something. I don't know. It was, or I was doing blood, sweat, and heels or I don't know, something.

And you had radio experience. Yeah, so, you know, that's where we met. That's where our little love affair began. Yes. Over at Sirius Radio. So, when we decided to do the podcast, I said, we need somebody who's completely different from us. Like, let's get a comedian. You know, so we can kind of break things up.

Somebody who has knowledge in sports. Definitely a guy. And so, we started interviewing comedians from All Deaf Digital. Yeah, so they brought a whole bunch of them in and so our first, we picked out this guy named Doughboy. Doughboy! Yeah, he flamed out in about five episodes. What happened? I guess he, my perception of it, he really

he was concerned with his career and elevating it and moving through the ranks of comedy and whatnot. But I don't think that he really understood the opportunity, you know. Because it is a grind at first. It is a real grind. You're not promised anything. When you start podcasts, there's no money in that.

Right. There's zero money in podcasting. There's a lot of commitment and no money. Exactly. There's zero money in podcasting until you have an audience and then you've, or you're talking about something niche. You know what I mean? Like if you're talking about knitting

with a certain kind of crochet technique, you know what I'm saying? And you got 5,000 diehard knitting fans listening to your podcast, then you're probably going to get, you know, sponsors and advertisers that are related to the content that you're producing. But podcasting, there's no promise until you build your own the content that you're producing. But podcasting,

there's no promise until you build your own audience and that takes some time. And then advertisers and sponsors, if you're lucky, they come in. So we had no promise of money and so I guess he just didn't really see the long run, which is fine. And then I was like, Jason, we are not going to keep on doing this with co-hosts. We need to

keep the chair empty with recurring hosts and let our audience choose who you love. And so we had a bunch of different people. I was really partial to Spank Horton. Oh, yeah. Spank ain't got time for that. Well, now he doesn't. At the time, he did.

At the time, he did. Spank wasn't doing shit. He had a little bit of time on his hands. But he's not as big as he is now. The Red Cup boys and Kevin didn't have LOL Network yet. So he was my choice. I can see why you would want that. Yeah.

Spank is very dope. Spank is hysterical. But we ended up with Gio because the people chose him. And he was a really great dynamic. People used to get on my case about, you know, Melissa's such a pretentious bitch. She's so mean to Gio. I'm like, he loves being my punching bag.

You know, Jason kept insinuating that he was gay. It's fun. You know, it's just, it's fun. But then that didn't work out. Why did that not work out? You got tired of being called gay? No. That's becoming my breaking point as well.

Hysterical. Who are you looking at? He actually departed from the show while I was gone recovering from my car accident. So I guess there was just like, you know, it happens. Breakdown and dynamic and then just stuff that is kind of personal. That's not my business to reveal. We needed a buffer in the room. A voice of reason.

Yeah. Well, the voice of reason was, you know, literally still trying to get her life together. Talk about that. Yeah. So DJ Damage came in and Damage is so different from, you know, Jason and I and everybody who came before him because he's just so produced. I mean, he's a radio guy. He's a walking Colgate commercial. Yeah, he's a radio guy.

Very professional. Super professional, you know, super produced. And, you know, my God, watching him do ads, I'm just literally staring at him like. You need that, though. No, I know. We need the discipline. Yeah, he was the piece That Hollywood Unlocked Needed to be a show

Yeah We needed the discipline We needed the structure Exactly We needed the structure And he provides that structure And I just think as You know

Just as a package deal For iHeart We just looked really Absolutely Really appealing So Doc Winters Who You and Doc Winters

So thank you But you've been known how dope we were. Yeah, absolutely. 100%. And you talked to Doc about it, and finally, you know, people started to kind of get the memo. And now here we are. I Heart, part of the

I Heart family. Alright, we got more with Melissa Ford when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the breakfast club we have Melissa Ford in the building Yee now there was a period of time when we didn't think you would be able to come back to the show and you had a really bad accident yeah that you posted about and you suffered from depression after that so talk about that tragedy and what happened. Well, I was going to Tank's fiance, now wife, Zena Foster. Sorry, Zena Babs.

I was going to her bridal shower. And it was June 28, 2018 at exactly 12.37 p.m. And I know this because my phone was mounted, GPS. I was in an area of L.A. that I'm not familiar with, border of Pasadena and Glendale. I was on the 134 and there was a semi truck next to me, you know, tractor trailer, a lot of dirt on it. And the rest of the highway was empty, surprisingly enough. And so I had on like this Diane von Furstenberg dress. It was bad. Hair done, jewelry on, everything.

And high heels and stuff like that. And then the tractor trailer was kind of swaying back and forth. And I believe that the tire connected with my back tire. Because there was this massive impact that I felt that you know kicked my tire out and like instantly put me into like a spin and I was driving a beast of a jeep like my wrangler was my oh I love this thing and had a three inch suspension kit on it 36 inch tires like it was bad um but also that suspension kit like it was you know, it was it did not feel stable, especially after getting hit by a truck. So it started to spin out and I tried to counter the spin.

I don't know if I made it worse or made it better. I wasn't manipulating the pedals. But at one point I just I realized I was going to flip. And this was just it. And so in front of the truck behind it. No, it was to the side of it. Yeah. And so I literally This was just it. Were you in front of the truck or behind it? No, it was to the side of it. Side of it, okay. Yeah.

And so I literally could see my exit. And so they say that. The accidents happen within five minutes of your destination. Super true in my case. And so as soon as I realized that my car was going to flip over, I just took my hands off the wheel. And I just kind of sat there and waited for it to happen. Do you remember those moments?

Like before it flipped? I just thought to myself, I'm not going to make it. Really? You thought you were going to? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I don't want to get emotional. But

yeah, when you think to yourself, like, I'm not going to make it. You just, you got to make peace with that, you know? And so my, so the Jeep flips. And what I remember most was, no, my girl did my makeup today. F*** that. I'm fighting this. Okay? I'm fighting this.

Okay? So what you realize, so this Jeep starts to flip and what I really remember the most is the sound of like metal on pavement, which is like the worst sound ever, like that screeching and that's, and there's the

violence of the impact of flipping, so my Jeep came to rest upside down but the roof had been ripped off just from the impact of flipping. So my Jeep came to rest upside down, but the roof had been ripped off just through from the impact of flipping five times. And I don't remember any of that. Apparently good Samaritan stopped on the highway. Three guys picked my Jeep up.

One of them pulled me out. And then my head was like cracked open, like an egg. So I had a massive skull fracture. My brain was bleeding, which was determined later on when I had my MRI and my CAT scans and stuff. Massive concussion, of course. And one of the guys took his shirt off and literally held my wound closed, you know. And some other guy took his hat off and put it over my face.

And so when I came to, I was lying on my back and looking up at the sun in the sky. I was like, what the f***? Why is my back so hot? And then I was like. You came to it at the scene? I came to it at the scene. Okay. But by this time, all the Good Samaritans were gone and I was EMT worker.

So I was like, why am I looking at the sky? Why is my back so hot? And then I saw the guys with their yellow worker so I was like why am I looking at the sky and why is my back so hot and then I saw the guys with their yellow uniforms I was like who are these guys and that's when I realized what had happened and I just kind of looked to the side and I saw my jeep and it was upside down

and it was smashed to smithereens and I just couldn't believe I couldn't believe it it was like a state of suspended reality you know and I was in't believe it. It was like a state of suspended reality, you know? And I was in total shock, so I felt no pain. I could only see out of one eye because there was just blood all over my face and pooling in this eye.

And then they told me that I was losing consciousness while I was still there, so they put an IV in me to get fluids going, packaged me up, threw me in the ambulance. And then they took me to the hospital, and the me up, threw me in the ambulance. So, and then they took me to the hospital, and the hospital, I don't know how it is that I ended up at Huntington Memorial, but the

has valet and a waterfall in it. Like, I ended up at the right hospital. And the staff was, they were just so great. So as soon as they brought me into the trauma room, neurologists, trauma surgeons, they were all the flurry of activity and stuff. And then that's when people started to come in

because they just, I don't know, who got a hold of my phones and they just started calling everybody. Like when I say everybody. You don't have a password? I don't know how she got into the phone. This is crazy. She did.

She got in the phone. So she started calling my call log. And so she called everybody from Stephen A. Smith to Craig Wayans. I was like, not the first people I called but you know, love you guys. Mom? Maybe look for mom.

I was out of the country and I didn't put my phone away when I'm out of the country but somebody that was with me was like yeah, Melissa Ford just was in a terrible car accident. I don't know if she's going to make it. I'm like what? What can I ask you? What's that like hearing? When you like have a friend. When I heard it they said you were in a what? Yeah. What can I ask you? What's that like hearing? When you like have a friend. When I heard it, they said you were in a coma.

Yeah. And they said. It just dawned on me that I've never asked you about this. Because I don't want to hear about it. Because I feel the way I feel right now. You know, I was just happy when you're here. So I'd rather focus on that than focus on what actually happened. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. No, I get it. I mean, I had men, like grown men, who are friends of mine, call and break down sobbing on the phone at the thought that I had, that I'd moved on, that I passed away because of what,

I came to realize what I represented in my friends lives, which made me feel really, really, really good. You know, and that whole saying of like, give people their flowers while they're here. It's really true. It was it was almost like I was attending my own funeral from like the from the people that came to my rescue. I do remember stopping to pray on the beach.

Thank you. As soon as I heard that. Thank you. Because I hate when people, you get that kind of news and people run to social media. I'm praying for you. When you know somebody for real, I feel like that's the last thing I want to do. Oh, I mean, the amount of people who inserted themselves into like my tragedy, it was hysterical to me.

I was like, but you didn't even call me. So you're posting about me on social media. You're adding me. And then I see in the comments, people are just like, oh my, they thought I died. I'm so sorry for your loss. Wait, hi. I'm here. I'm here.

And what are you talking to him for? So it's just, it's really interesting whenever people, you know, on social media insert themselves into other people's tragedy in order to, like, bring attention to themselves. It's a little sick. Narcissistic to a really messed up level. Alright, we're still kicking it with Melissa Ford. We got more with her when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Melissa Ford in the building, Yee How was the road to recovery, how was that for you? So the road to recovery was horrific when I left the hospital I left using

a walker I couldn't walk, I was having you know, cognitive and speech issues definitely memory still bad vertigo And speech issues, definitely memory. Still bad. Vertigo, pain, obviously, that set in. But so I had to walk with a walker for about a month.

And if you know Melissa, she is a gym buff, always hiking, always. Her workouts are insane. Yeah. So I had to imagine for you physically as somebody who was always so active how that must have been really difficult yeah um you know god bless my girlfriends they would they came over with food that they prepared for me or they'd come over to my house to cook alicia renee yeah um my girlfriend sarah um destiny um they just they really moved into action and became like moms to me

you know Alicia is really a grandma yes she is super old soul and just an amazing person an amazing friend but it was just it was so frustrating and I was so angry I was so angry and I was so sad and I was so I was mourning my life

because my life as I knew it was over you know um I was mourning the person that I was because I wasn't her anymore I described it as being before the before me and the after me and I don't I'm starting to not recognize her anymore and I didn't think I really made sense until my DMs and email was flooded with people who had had traumatic brain injuries from car accidents or war veterans or whatever. Just basically saying, I see you, I hear you, I understand everything that you're saying and giving me the most amount of advice as to exactly how to try to heal myself and work through and what to expect so the support from total strangers was sometimes greater than people that i considered to be my closest friends

um and something died with you in that car accident oh absolutely absolutely and i had to i had a lot i had moments of reckoning you, they were like it was really it was a really dark time because I had to start to really analyze just myself. You know, who am I? What's my identity? Because it gets thrown into action or thrown into it's compromised when you have something like that happen to you. You know, you're like, am I defined by this one event in my life? You know? And so you just spend so much time searching, searching in the darkness, searching through a broken brain. This stuff is just not making sense.

Like, I remember trying to say the word exterminator, and I couldn't. My brain could not put it together I was like I was in a stuttering and I was humiliated me being like the communication to having the 70,000 word vocabulary I was like who am I if my brain's not operating right what's really interesting is around the time of the accident mine and Jason's relationship was not at its best it was it was pretty fractured I didn't know if the podcast was going to continue with me on it to to be completely honest with Jason and I we had to repair our relationship before we could embark you know get back on the journey what so you guys repaired your relationship or worked on it at that time. Yeah.

What was it like for you the first time coming back to the show after that? It was really emotional. And I just, it was wonderful. It was wonderful coming back and it was wonderful sitting with my friend after having repaired our relationship in a way that we feel unbreakable now.

Okay. And I'm sure you approached it with a new that we feel unbreakable now. Okay. And I'm sure you approached it with a new sense of purpose. Yeah, definitely. I mean. What is your purpose? Well, I'll say this, that I didn't feel grateful for having survived the entire time I was recovering, which was almost a year. I had moments still where I was really, really angry, really, really just remorse, you know, just mourning my old life and everything.

And then I had a dream, maybe just a couple of days before the Social Impact Awards where we awarded you guys. And you won an award, too. I had no idea. A surprise award. I truly had no idea they really kept that a secret from me I had no inkling at all so I'm reading

so the resilience award is and as I'm reading I'm like wait a minute and I burst out into tears because I realized what they had just done you know but a couple of days before that I had a dream that I was in a car accident and I died.

So, and I remember thinking to myself, I'm not ready. Like I'm not, I'm not ready. And it was like, I don't know how to, I woke up feeling so grateful that I was alive, you know? I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry. It's okay, baby. We're happy.

That makeup up. Thank you. Let a good cry out. I think if she paid for it, she wouldn't make sure. No, it's a solid today. Okay. Right, bitch? Okay, thank you.

Well, she'll touch you up, don't worry. Yeah, she will but um i just woke up feeling so grateful that you know like that i i'd lived you know and i felt guilty all over again i'm a scorpio we carry guilt around like a bag of bricks like voluntarily but um i just felt so grateful that, like, I got another chance. Like, life is just really, it's cliche to say, but it's really precious. And you're lucky. And you have to do whatever you want with it. I still feel like you have so much more to tell, though.

Like, I feel like this is one aspect of it. But I've told you this before like even the old video of Ixton days. Yeah. You can hold a lot of these young girls hands right now and walk them through a lot of the bullshit they're going through now. I try but with you know youth comes arrogance and I get it. I had it.

You know but life has a way of humbling you like a mofo. One thing I am gonna talk more about was at the time that the accident happened, I was madly in love with somebody and he never showed up. No. Yeah.

F*** him. Well, yeah. Can you imagine? He didn't never hit you, never showed up, nothing. That's when he really pulled the step up. He never stepped up or showed up. Wow.

That is crazy. He sent me flowers me flowers yeah so here's the thing is like you know so when i would to him i was you know the glamazon i'd walk in to meet him in a in the hotel lobby or the you know the restaurants or whatever and all eyes would be on me and you know i i. And so I was a source of pride for him, but it was superficial. It was synthetic love, obviously. Trophy, trophy-ness. That was very much his trophy, his doll. And then when the accident happened,

his doll was broken and he no longer wanted to play with that toy. That is crazy. Have you reached out now? Have you seen the dolls back together? Man. Better than ever? Yes.

He has. And he got silent. As he should. You should never f*** with him ever again. Oh, no, no, no, no. I, it doesn't, it took, I was dealing with a broken head, broken heart all at the same time.

I didn't know which one was going to kill me. One of them was going to. It was, I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy. Like the darkest days where I thought, you know, where I was contemplating what method of suicide I was going to employ. And just the sorrow that I felt.

But you know what? You cannot appreciate or have euphoric highs without those abysmal lows. It's impossible. Life undulates like a roller coaster. We don't get this even keel stuff. In order for us to celebrate our wins, we have to have suffered some incredible losses.

It's chapters in a book. Exactly. Sometimes when things are going too great, I'm like, all right, what's about to happen? Oh, my God, I'm terrified. Oh, shit, I'm happy. I think that's anxiety, though. I get that a lot, too. Yeah.

But then sometimes you really got to do the opposite and step back and be like, I earned this. Yeah. I deserve this. Yeah, it's hard to think to yourself, I've earned this. I deserve this. I've worked really hard and I'm this. Yeah, it's hard to think to yourself, I've earned this. I deserve this. I've worked really hard and I'm worthy.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where

we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk car crashes. It's about time. What's going on the rumors. Let's talk car crashes. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, there were reports that Bobby Brown was hit by a car over the weekend and injured both of his legs. There was one report. According to his sister. Yeah, there definitely was one report. But it felt like it came from a good source, right? No. His own sister. No. Anyway. Yeah, it definitely was one report. But it felt like it came from a good source, right? No. His own sister. No. Anyway.

It didn't sound right. No. First of all, when we came in here, y'all was like, you know, Bobby Brown got hit by a car. No, that's not what we said. What we actually said was, how come no one's covering it? Why nobody else is reporting it? Exactly. Because it can't be true.

Exactly. Well, according to Bobby Brown's attorney, that never happened. He said there are reports circulating that Bobby Brown was hit by a car over the weekend and substantially injured both his legs. The reports are false and Bobby Brown was in L.A. enjoying time with his family

this weekend. Yeah, Leola going to need to come to the front of the congregation this morning. We need to have a word with her. I need to see Bobby Brown right now and see what his legs look like

to make sure this is true. You would see that. The hospital reports, the ambulances. Everybody knows what he looks like. It's Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown is a whole legend in these streets. Ain't no whole legend getting hit by no cop. Bobby, are you okay?

He already said he's okay. He tweeted. He tweeted and we haven't seen him. You better stop. I'm not going to fly. This is a form of social media schizophrenia. You're not going to fly. He said I'm not going to fly. I said I'm not going to lie. This is a form of social media schizophrenia. I'm not going to fly. All these hallucinations and delusions that people

be having on social media. This is crazy. All right. Now, Harvey Weinstein actually crashed his car into a tree, according to reports. He said he was swerving. Who reported that? His sister? The cops.

Allegedly, he said he was trying to avoid a deer, so he swerved. So he did have to kick his way out of the car, and he is okay. Do you see the difference in sources, though? Police officers said, okay, the difference. They've actually seen the car. Pay attention when you see these stories. Always pay attention to who the source is. All right, now let's give a congratulations to Young Thug.

His album, So Much Fun, is number one. It's his first number one of his career. Thug-a-thug-a. Yeah, so congratulations to him for that. That's a big deal. All right, now Diddy is defending Jay-Z over this whole NFL situation.

People still talking about this? Yes, they are. People are still writing articles about it and doing posts about it and everything. Sponsored posts. But this is the first time

Diddy has spoken on it. He said, Hope is one of the greatest to ever do it. He has been there more than anybody from the hip-hop culture, including me. And he said, he's always been so selfless and fights for other people.

We as a people cannot be divided and conquered at this time. But he goes on to say that he's proud of Colin Kaepernick and said, I'll continue to support him in every way possible. And he said, it's time to play chess, not checkers. Listen, man, in order to change things, you need more control, more power, more influence. I don't know what else to tell you. Okay? Sometimes you got to change things from the inside out.

And the issue is no longer where you sit on the bus or whether you can drive it. It's whether you can develop the capital to own the bus company. All right? That's the type of plays I see being made out here in these streets. All right, now Dave Chappelle has a new Netflix special out called Sticks and Stones. And he's going hard on everybody now. He does some impressions. Let's see if you guys can guess who this is. Hey, if you do anything wrong in your life and I find out about it, I'm going to try to take everything away from you.

And I don't care what I find out. Could be today, tomorrow, 15, 20 years from now. If I find out you're finished. Who's that? That's you. That's what the audience sounds like to me. That's why I don't be coming out doing comedy all the time. Because y'all niggas is the worst motherfuckers I've ever tried to entertain in my fucking

life. That is definitely the era we in. That is exactly how you all sound. I'm telling you, I saw this Dave Chappelle set on Broadway and I told y'all this is his best set by far. Alright, now Dave Chappelle also goes on to tell this joke. Now, keep in mind, if you go and try to watch this Netflix special,

it is going to tell you that it's politically incorrect. Doesn't matter what I say. And if you at home watching this s*** on Netflix, remember, bitch, you clicked on my face. Celebrity hunting season. Doesn't matter what I say, they're going to get everybody eventually. Like, look, I don't think I did anything wrong, but we'll see.

It's just that simple. I don't understand why people act like they don't have choices. If you don't like something, just turn the television. Turn the radio. You don't have to click on Dave Chappelle's face. Okay? Everything got different audiences. Let those of us who enjoy that type of material enjoy it.

You go find something else to listen to, please. And as you guys know, Dave Chappelle did host a benefit concert for a date in Ohio after the mass shooting happened. I'm offended. How dare he do that? And that is your Rumor Report. You guys know Dave Chappelle did host a benefit concert for a date in Ohio after the mass shooting. I'm offended. All right. I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne! Yes. Who you giving that down to? I want to address this social media schizophrenia that seems to exist on this planet nowadays. We need Bobby Brown, Sister Leola Brown to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please. All right.

We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about changing a flat tire. I flew into JFK the other day and I got a flat tire. As soon as I landed, it was flat. I don't necessarily know

how to fix a flat. I never fixed a flat. I know the concept of it. Envy don't know how to change a goddamn tire. That's all it boils down to. Well, let me look it up on YouTube for you. And then I'm in Queens. So in Queens, there's a fix-a-flat

place in every corner damn near. Poppy fixed it, charged me $7. It took him five minutes. I kept it moving. I even sent y'all a picture of me fixing my flat. But nobody in this room will change a tire. I have to say that. It depends. You know what I'm saying? If I don't have no choice, like you might call AAA and AAA might not get there for another 30, 45 minutes.

If it takes me 15 minutes to change the tire, we got to spend it back. We out. OK, now I'm going to tell you something. My father, you know, didn't teach me a lot when it came to like handiwork stuff. You know, he was a he was a construction guy. He had his own construction company, you know, when he wasn't battling his drugs and alcohol and all that. All right. But, you know, he had a construction company, but he didn't teach me how to do too much handy stuff, but he definitely taught me how to change a goddamn tire. I mean, even yesterday.

Yesterday, I had one of the old school cars out. It started overheating. I didn't even know what to do. I didn't even know where to put the water. I had to call my friends out to No Limit, out in No Limit Auto Body. They had to tell me where to put the water in. I had no clue.

I just don't know. I'm not mad at that. But changing a tire, every man should be able to changing a tire, every man should be able to change a tire. Every woman should be able to change a tire. Every man should have AAA and know where Papi is that can fix your tire. I didn't have AAA growing up.

AAA costs money. AAA costs how much a month? You know you could use somebody else's AAA growing up. You could use somebody else's AAA. Which I used to do. You use somebody else's AAA. You're acting like y'all grew up with cell phones. So if you had a flat tire, you could call somebody. You could go right to the payphone. Yeah, you have to walk to the payphone. No problem.

In New York, there's a payphone in every corner. And that's my point. The world ain't New York. When will y'all realize that? Okay, I grew up in a place that is more of a reflection of America than New York City. And it's called Monk's Corner, South Carolina, all right? Majority of the world is those rural areas, all right? You get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, you got to change that

tire right then and there. You should have moved to New York then. No, for what? He did. To be delusional like y'all? And not know how to change tires? Let's go to the full line. We have Emily on the line. Emily, good morning. Hi. Hey, Emily, you know how to change a flat tire? Yeah, I've known since I was 15 years old.

I mean, it's sad that you don't know. Where you from, Emily? I'm from the Bronx. Oh, you're from the Bronx and how to change a flat tire. There's a fix-a-flat place on every corner in the Bronx. No, no, no. I grew up with boys. I've known since I was 15 years old because my brothers taught me. It's essential, especially in the Bronx.

You grew up in boys. With boys. Oh, with boys. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, with boys. So I was raised by men. So I was taught how to drive a car and how to change a tire, how to do my oil change, how to change my plate.

You know how to change the oil? Yeah. What you doing Friday? Shut up. Yeah, I definitely know how to change the oil. Who you doing Friday? That's a skill. I don't.

My wife does, though. Really? My wife knows how to change the oil. My dad taught me how to do that also. My dad's a mechanic, too. That's the crazy part. Hello, who's this? Was a mechanic, I should say.

What's going on? It's Marvin. Marvin, what's up, part. Hello, who's this? Was a mechanic, I should say. What's going on? It's Marvin. Marvin, what's up, man? You know how to change your tie, bro? Yes, sir. First of all, I want to say I love y'all, man.

Envy, I love y'all. Charlamagne, Yee, y'all doing a great job. Thank you. Envy, come on, man. It's 2019. You got all these cars. You a car guy.

All it takes is a couple of clicks on YouTube, man. You can change your tie yourself. You could have saved yourself seven bucks. Where you from is a couple of clicks on YouTube, man. You can change a tire yourself. You could have saved yourself seven bucks. Where you from, bro? I'm from Brooklyn, but I live in South Florida right now.

This is crazy. All of these New Yorkers know how to change tires. I don't know why you think we wouldn't know how to change a tire because we're from New York. I know. Because of Envy saying that there's a fixer flat. That's one person. I said I know how. No, you didn't.

You did not say you know how yesterday. I did something. I said my dad taught me. You said your dad had a thing in the car. No, I said he taught me how. And I know how. No, you didn't. You did not say you know how yesterday. I did something. I said my dad taught me. You said your dad had a thing in the car. No, I said he taught me how. Marvin, by the time you look it up on YouTube, you could have found Poppy in Brooklyn. Now, don't lie.

In Brooklyn, there was a fix-a-flat place down there five blocks away. All right, that might be so. But at the same time, if you're on the spot and you're not anywhere where there is a fix-a fix a flat place, you know, all you got is yourself. You want to wait for AAA? That's right. You want to get down and dirty and do it yourself? That's right, my brother. As I told y'all yesterday, most people know

how to change a flat tire. Well, 70% of people, according to this poll. That's most. You know, 30% don't. And I ain't gonna front. I usually got some nice J's on and I ain't gonna mess up my J's for no tire, bro. Shut up, man. You grew up rich or something? Nope. But still. Knock it off. If I paid for them J's, I ain't messing up front. I usually got some nice J's on, and I ain't going to mess up my J's for no tire, bro. Hey, shut up, man. You grew up rich or something? Nope, but still.

Knock it off. If I paid for them J's, I ain't messing up them J's. How many sneakers you messed up fixing flats? I have no idea, because when you're in the middle of nowhere and your tire is flat, you want to fix your tire. You ain't worried about your goddamn sneakers. And if you know my dad, you know he does not want to pay $7 to change a tire. He'll do it himself. My dad will take the hose out and wash the car himself.

He will do everything himself unless it's an absolute emergency. I can't believe you're surprised by this. The minority does not know how to change a flat tire. 800-585- You're not changing a flat tire? Dan, you're not changing a flat tire? Eddie, you're not changing a flat tire? No. We all know how to change flat tires, bro, bro.

Some cars have them. Some cars don't. In the sports cars, they don't have run flats because you're usually driving at a high speed, so they don't allow them. I would say I can't live without my run flat tires. I haven't had to worry about that in so long because of the run flat tires. I'm just saying.

But I would be really upset if I'm in the car and we get a flat and my guy doesn't know how to change it and I'm outside changing a tire.

Y'all wouldn't call AAA? That would be kind of crazy. I mean, we can call Triple A, but I mean, that's a whole entire weight. Like, I can get it done. That's just,

No, she said loosen the lug nuts and then raise the car. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you're supposed to do. That's what I just said. You can't raise the car and then loosen the lug nuts. What's your name, mama? Envy said that. Envy said that?

As I told y'all yesterday, most people in America know how to change a flat tire. But who put up that poll? Bobby Brown's sister? How do we know

That poll is accurate Angelique posted it up Yeah I posted it What's the moral of the story guys 1700 people The moral of the story is Tires should be made out of Whatever vagina walls

Evie we got rumors on the way Yes let's talk about Wendy Williams Now she was on with Jason Lee and Hollywood Unlocked, and she was talking about not getting into that 50-cent party. All right, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Hey. Hey, did somebody answer a question for me? What's that? How did Megan Thee Stallion win MTV Video Music Award last night for Hot Girl Summer and there's no video for Hot Girl Summer yet? The video didn't come out yet? No, the video's not out yet.

So how'd she get an award? I don't know. That's why I'm asking the question. That was a question I asked. It wasn't a statement. You sure it wasn't for Big Ol' Freak? No, she won for Hot Girl Summer. That's impossible.

It was Megan Thee Stallion. It went for Power Anthem. Yeah, but it's a video music award though, right? Right, there was no video. It beat Ariana Grande's Seven Rings, Khaled and Cardi B in 21 Savage Wish Wish, Nightmare by Halsey, Tempo from Lizzo,

Taylor Swift's You Need to Calm Down, and Miley Cyrus' Mother, Daughter, and Girl by Maren Morris. I understand people want to be cool, and I'm happy that Megan Thee Stallion got an award, but come on. She don't even have a video yet. Well, congratulations to her. Hopefully the video is as hot as MTV says it is. Yes, drop on the clue box for MTV

giving out Minority Report awards, because they already know how dope the video is, and the video isn't even out yet. Alright. I didn't even see that on the list of awards that I saw this morning. Alright, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, Wendy Williams was on Hollywood Unlocked, and she was talking about not getting into 50 Cent's tycoon party. Now, you saw her, right, Envy? On the way out, she was walking in. So there was a tycoon pool party. Everybody was there, and Wendy was pictured there with Snoop Dogg, and here's what she had to say.

So we pull up, and I was about 10 thick, including Medina, who was head of everything. You know how she does. Medina got out of the car and straightened everyone out, like, okay, look, all we want to do is go to Snoop. Wendy's in the car, blah, blah, blah. It's her son's birthday blah blah blah then i get out elizabeth cops they fall down they throw up like all those guns excited to see you yes how you doing how you doing how you doing i had no i like i knew 50 was going to be there but i was only there to see snoop yeah Yeah. To say, look, my boy is now 19.

Well, I guess, yeah. Well, here's more of what she had to say about the pool party. Because you could tell she's a little irritated. And I guess her and 50 aren't going to be cool anytime soon. I thought maybe they might have made up. Nah. If 50 said walk in right now, you wouldn't say, f*** you. Oh, no.

Just go away. Like, I'm done. I'm done. Poor child. You know, with child and children. No. Like, we stepped around the metal detector in the name of Remy Ma. Huh? What the hell does that mean?

We stepped around the metal detector in the name of Remy Ma. I don't know what that means. That means I leave my name out of this mess. Wendy, what are you doing, baby? Like, Lean Back was 15 years ago. You get to a certain age, you just start sounding foolish, trying to sound cool. Or maybe she's saying her and her team is strapped, so she's not concerned with them. They step around the metal detectors.

That's like saying I walk in the club and tell them, move, bitch, get out the way, in the name of Ludacris. From the window to the wall, tell the sweat drip down my balls, in the name of Little John. I don't think you can say that, bro. You can find me in the club, bottle full of balls, in the name of 50 Cent. My eye is on the sparrow, in the name of Jesus.. All right. My eye is on the sparrow in the name of Jesus. What are you doing? DeMarcus Cousins. Apparently, his ex-girlfriend is saying that he threatened her.

Christy West is his ex-girlfriend. Just one day before he was supposed to marry his new girlfriend in Atlanta. And she also says that she has a recording of the threat. Well, TMZ did get their hands on that recording, and here it is. Can I have my bullet? No, he's not coming. Say that. I'm going to make sure I put a bullet in your mother's head.

All right. So she recorded this while at a trampoline park. She was with their 7-year-old son, and she says that it's the Marcus Cousins who told her he's going to put a bullet in her head. You could tell he was upset. He wanted this kid for his wedding. I mean, you shouldn't say that,. You could tell he was upset. He wanted this kid for his wedding. I mean, you shouldn't say that, but you could tell he was upset. He wanted this kid for his wedding.

He shouldn't have said it. Your threat is not, I'm going to make sure I put a bullet in your head. There's no excuse for saying something like that. Come on, that's a crazy thing to say. And I'm not saying that he is right, but we've all said some foul stuff to people before. Nobody has ever told me that you can put a bullet in my head. I didn't say people said that. I said people have said foul things before out of anger.

Could you imagine you getting married, you want your son or daughter for your wedding, and your baby mother tells you, no, your son can't go? You probably said some foul stuff. I'm sure it was one of those things. It was angry. It was out of anger. It was definitely moving off emotion. It was emotion.

It was all pure emotion, but it don't make it right. It doesn't make it right at all. Listen, don't be saying stuff like that to your baby mom that she could be recording and putting out there for the world to listen to and using in court against you. Don't get me wrong. Okay, you can't move off emotion and say, I'm going to put a bullet in your head. There's a lot of other things you could have said. Yeah, there's plenty of people you can tell you want to put a bullet through their head.

It's not your baby mom. You shouldn't say that to nobody. How about that? No, there's some people out there that deserve to get told that in a harsh way. Okay? All right. I'm not your baby mom. Now, let's talk about Rosa Parks and Sally

Ride. Mattel is going to be honoring both of these women with their own Barbie dolls. Now I know you guys know who Rosa Parks is. You know who Sally Ride is. Sally Ride.
