Like, what's going on out here? What am I missing? What you got on? A jean suit? No. Some sweatpants and a jean jacket. No. Yeah.

Well, after the show today, we have to go head over to NASDAQ. I don't know if you're supposed to say that. Oh. I think they are. I don't know. We're going to be live. I don't think it's a secret. We're going to be. Well, anyway, we're heading over to NASDAQ. Oh. I think they are. I don't know. We're going to be live. I don't think it's a secret. We're going to be,

well, anyway, we're heading over to NASDAQ and the company is being traded on NASDAQ again. iHeart? iHeart, yeah. iHeart, I believe so. So we're heading over there.

Sounds like inside trader information. I don't know if you should say these things. Oh, okay. It's all in the news. iHeart Media announced You just scared the issue

out of me for a second. I ain't going to front it. That's what made Martha Stewart go to jail. You just scared the issue out of me. iHeart CEO, Chairman Bob Pittman made a statement about it. It's what made Martha Stewart go to jail. You just scared the ish out of me. I heard CEO Chairman Bob Pittman made a statement about it. It's kind of a secret. Thank you.

You just scared the ish out of me. We got invited. Yeah, we got invited, so we're heading over there. So are we ringing the bell or something? No, we're not. We're going to just be there when it happens. Are we not even ringing the bell? Why would you be ringing the bell?

So why are we going? Why'd they invite us? So we could be there. I want to ring some of the bells. I thought we was ringing the bell, too. At least let me put my hand on whoever's hand is ringing the bell. Who's going to ring the bell? Whoever has on a blazer.

Well, today, after this, my daughter is getting four wisdom teeth pulled out. I told you, I did all four of mine at once. Yeah, she is nervous. She is scared. They got to put her to sleep for a little bit, right? Yes, you do. I remember the oral surgeon who actually removed my wisdom teeth. He was like, all right, pick what song you want to hear and count backwards from 10.

And by that time, by the time I got to seven, I was knocked out. Yeah. He put on whatever music I wanted. And then I woke up. Didn't feel a thing until the numbing wore off. And it was crazy. It wasn't crazy. They did give me a prescription for painkillers.

I didn't end up having to use it. Okay. So I felt it, but it wasn't like I needed painkillers. Okay. All right. Well, she's doing that today. She's extremely nervous. She'll be fine.

So I'm going to head over there after that. It's a lot of blood. Oh, my gosh. Great. I hope she's not listening right now. You have to put all the cotton in the back of your... No, I'm just telling you what happens. You have to do this after? Yeah, after. So you have to keep it there to keep it... You don't have no wisdom teeth, fool? Me? No.

Oh, wow. Lucky you. You have Joe's bowl? Yeah, I have wisdom teeth, fool. Four of them or two? Not four at once, but I probably have gotten... I don't have no wisdom teeth no more. How many wisdom teeth do you come with? Four. How many do you come with? Four. How many you come with? I got all of mine pulled and went. Then she won't be able to eat anything

for a little while. She'll have to chew in the front of her mouth. Oh my goodness. But it's fine. It's not that bad. It's fine. It's not that bad. You can't eat, chew with the back of your teeth. You just can't chew. You gotta put cotton in your mouth because you're gonna bleed to death. But you'll be fine. I didn't say bleed to death. Just to keep it... Goodness gracious. Don't bleed all over the place. Well, we'll see how this works out.

Hopefully everything will be okay and she'll go through with it because I think she's going to get to the point where she's going to go and she's going to have anxiety and be like, F this and she's going to feel sick. But we'll see. It's a part of life. She'll be fine. Yeah. Alright. Well, Frederick Haynes will be joining us this morning. I like Frederick Haynes. He's a pastor. He's a great friend of Michael

Eric Dyson. If you know who Michael Eric Dyson is and you think he's a great wordsmith who has a lot of good wisdom to share, then you will enjoy Freddie Haynes. Okay. Trust me. We'll kick it with him in a little bit. And what else we got? He was front page. Oh, wait.

Today is Wendy Williams' birthday. Happy birthday, Wendy Williams. Dropping a Clues Bounce with Wendy Williams. Having said happy birthday, Wendy Williams, in 10 years. Okay. Well, today she is 55. Probably longer than that. So happy birthday to Wendy Williams.

Man, Wendy's 55. What's she going to get her? Nothing. Time waits for no man, does it? Oh, one man. Oh, one man. Yes. Happy birthday, Wendy Williams.

Wendy Williams doesn't need any born-day presents this year. She got it all. God gave her the greatest gift that she could ever receive, and that is a divorce from Calvin Hunter. Damn. All right? Hey. Hey. Every time you say that, that just comes on? That she could ever receive, and that is a divorce from Calvin Hunter. Damn. All right? Doodoo Brown! Hey! Doodoo Brown!

Hey! Every time you say that, that just comes on? Hey, his name is Doodoo Brown for now and forever, because he is always doing too much, and he's from Brownsville. Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about, Ye?

Well, y'all thought y'all was being cute using that Face app to see how much older you can look. We'll tell you why that could be dangerous for you, and now people own all your pictures. Okay, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. My name is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with El Chapo. The feds have already got rid of him. He's no longer in Brooklyn. They've already put him on a helicopter to go right to Colorado where he's going to be in his Supermax prison. He was sentenced to life plus 30 years behind bars.

So they were like immediately. They got him out of Brooklyn fast. Yes. Get it started. They're not playing no games. All right. Now, Instagram is testing their hidden like counts trial. They're doing this whole trial.

So imagine on Instagram, people won't be able to see how many likes you got anymore. How do you think that will affect you? Well, the company said the purpose is to relieve pressure among all these users who are so concerned about who is liking their posts. That's going to be great. I love that.

I'm all for that. You know what I'm saying? Now people are going to have to post on Instagram just for the sport. They said we want your friends to focus on the photos and videos you share and not how many likes they get. You can still see your own likes by tapping on the list of people who've liked it, but your friends will not be able to see how many likes your post has received. I think that's great.

Now, if you use that app, FaceApp, whoever owns it and some Russian company, they're actually going to have access to all of your face and name and everything, so they own that now. So you still own your face, but they can do whatever they want with those pictures, anything that you use once you uploaded that. And by the way, more than 100 million people have downloaded that app from Google Play. So it's the

top-ranked app in 121 countries, so they own all of those pictures and are allowed to do anything they want to do with that content. So all before, when people were posting on Instagram and Facebook and doing the face recognition stuff on Snapchat, they didn't own that then? No. They own

these, they can do anything they want with these pictures. But they couldn't before? Like social media in general couldn't before? The internet couldn't before? Use your pictures? Yeah. I think you can sue people for just taking your picture and your likeness and using it. Well, boy,

there's a lot of people on the memes that need to get to suing. That dude with the phone who they use all the time, he need to get the goddamn suing. Well, I think if you were

using it for financial purposes, like for an ad, you can't just take his face and put it in an ad. So you're saying that the app, the people that use the app can use your picture

for an ad? I don't believe that. The people that, yeah, it says on it, You grant FaceApp a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid, transferable, sub-licensable, licensed to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create, derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform,

and display your user content in any name, username, or likeness provided in connection with your user content and all media formats and channels now known or later developed without compensation. So basically what you're saying is fine print that you niggas didn't read. Pretty much. That's basically what happened. Right? Right. Yeah, so everybody was so wanting to be

grandpa and grandma that y'all wasn't even reading the fine print. Now you done gave away all the likenesses to your photos. Genius. Dropping the clues bomb for the Russians. They win again, goddammit. They win again. All right? I mean, they didn't totally win.

I didn't use that. I didn't download it either. I didn't use it. I didn't download it. Shout out to Dan who worked with us. He's the one that downloaded it and made us look older. I definitely didn't download it. But drop one to the Russians, boy.

How can we beat them in 2020? Jesus Christ, you can't. All right. Well, that's front page news. 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 a horrible morning, or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country.

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run 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.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,

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

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it with your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Marcus. Yes, what's up?

Get it off your chest, son. Hey, I just want to get off my chest, man. This whole thing is really getting out of control. Hey, if y'all really want to know, when you put that WWW World Wide Web, and you put anything on the internet, you're giving access to anybody to use it anyway.

Facebook has the same language in their contract when you log on. So does Snapchat. So does Instagram. I kind of thought that. If you really wanted to get your information and stuff like that. They already have it.

Passport, your license. Why would Facebook have my passport information? Well, not Facebook. I'm just saying the government. Well, the government got everything. Of course, the government has it. You got to get your passport from the government. It's issued from the government.

Right. That's what I'm saying. So, I mean, that's two different points. We're talking about what the government has, your information already. However, we automatically, you know, weigh that right once you put stuff on through social media. I mean, right now, anybody can, you know, if your Facebook profile is open, take your pictures, put it out there, and change them how they want to.

As long as it's not for any financial gain, you know. Well, this says they can do it for a financial gain. Well, thank you, bro. Which is going to hurt a lot of those celebrities who downloaded that app to look old. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Walt. Hello, what's up?

Get it off your chest. Oh, my bad. I said Walt, like Walter. Oh, Walt. Walt Disney. Yeah, yeah. What's going on, everybody? Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. Man, I'm so excited to get through. I listen to y'all every day. I'm a trucker. I'm from Philly, but right now I, everybody? Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Man, I'm so excited to get through. I listen to you every day. I'm a trucker. I'm from Philly, but right now I'm in the 803. Metro, what's happening? What's up, bro? Yeah, so I wanted to just get it off my chest, man,

because I really feel like, you know, the average driver don't really understand, you know, the dangers of, you know, doing their, doing like maneuvers around trucks. And so yesterday I was driving, I was up in Eastern PA and I was driving up 81. And so it was a two lane road and I was in the right lane. And so I went to get over in the left lane because there was a hazard in front of me. There was somebody slowing down for somebody else who was trying to get onto the highway. So in order to avoid it, I checked my mirror and i had enough space to get over into the left lane the fast lane now there was a car that was behind that was trailing that once once

she saw me trying to get over she sped up she tried to speed up she tried to speed up so i couldn't you know i mean like nobody wants to be behind the truck. So she tried to speed up and not let me over. But I had already entered the lane. So long story short, she jumped onto the shoulder. And it wasn't, it was like a half shoulder. And on the side of that was a ditch. And she jumped onto the half shoulder and tried to shoot. And she shot up past me.

And the thing that disgusted me the most was that it was a woman. and she had three kids in the car, and two kids in the backseat. The two kids in the backseat couldn't be no older than about six, seven years old. And I'm like, oh, my God. Like, if I'd have moved over five more inches, I'd have pushed them into the ditch, or I'd have ran them over with my back tandems. Damn. And so I just wanted to tell people, like, yo, like, let trucks do their job. Like, it's not worth it because they would have all lost their lives. And it just really, like, as a trucker, it just grinds me up, man.

Well, be safe out there, bro. You in your truck now? Yes, sir. I'm on my way back up to Philly right now, man. Blow the horn one time, brother. That sounded like a light-ass horn, though. But we heard it, though. Thank you, brother. Be safe out there. That ain't sound like no Mack truck to me.

That sound like you got that little thing that Lizzo be playing and you just decided to blow it one time. Hold on. Hold on. Let me roll down the window. Let me roll down the window. Man, if you don't stop playing Lizzo's flute, plus this morning. 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. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on, Abby? Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Char from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on, Abby? Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. Peace, King. What's happening? What's your name, bro?

Rick, Rick. I ain't talk to you in a minute. So, y'all talking about FaceTime? I wish Russia wouldn't steal my identity with all the bills I got. Take my, take me. You worried about FaceTime and them taking what? Your picture?

To do what? They have your picture on Facebook. They have your picture on Instagram. They have your picture on everything else. They can't use it to monetize anything. They can't put it in an ad. They can't do things like that. What is Russia going to do with a dude from Brownsville picture?

All right. Yeah, listen. By the way, you say that until you go to Russia one day and see your face on a herpes commercial advertising Valtrex. All right. Listen, I'll take that. For free. I'll take some of these bills.

Ain't nothing to be scared of. We all out in the public everywhere anyway. All right. So you would have gave that up anyway? I'm not saying. We out there anyway. Everybody's out there anyway. You don't know what they're doing with your picture in Russia.

Listen, I kind of agree, but I'm going to tell you something. When 2020 rolls around and the Russians are trying to get Donald Trump back in the White House and they got your picture up there on a poster that says, for Trump, you're going to be... Regardless of Russia, Donald's going to get four more years. You heard his campaign last

night? All the people shouting about sending people back? Not Russia, it's America. That's because the Democrats are a bunch of cowards who don't know how to stand up to a bully. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, guys. What's going on? Peace and blessings, man. Sean Porter, what's up, bro? Peace and blessings, man.

Sean Porter? My name is Sean Stone. Ah, damn it. Sean Porter is the WBC middleweight champion of the world. I'm the port-a-potty guy. Sean Porter, my bad. He doesn't want to be port-a-potty guy. I know. That's why I said Sean.

And specifically to you, Charlamagne, three books, check one once again. I want to say thank you, and not only for the book, but as well as your interviews with celebrities like Ed Sheeran and Schoolboy Q, getting people with their mental health as well. So in the world, that's not the only one who's alone as well.

And, like, I would want to kneel, but I wouldn't want that to mess with my money. You know what I'm saying? So how do you think is the best way to, like, promote advocacy for African-Americans and what's going on today? Bro, I think you should get in the league first. I think you should get in the league first. I think you should get in the league first. I know, I know. Focus on...

How are you already thinking about protesting? You ain't even getting in the league yet. You ain't even in the league yet. The hell is you talking about? I don't know. That's just how I'm thinking, bro. I get it, but you don't have those problems just yet, sir. Get in the league first.

All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I can't believe this is still a discussion. We're in here discussing what's going to happen at Area 51. Because I never looked it up.

Now I've looked it up. Now I'm intrigued. There's nothing at Area 51, bro. There's no aliens there. How do you know? And if you go, would you keep, if you was hiding something from somebody. Right. And everybody started talking about where it was, and they said we was coming to get it.

Would you keep it there? Probably. Come on, stop. They moved the mail in a long time ago. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk ASAP Rocky. This is the Rumor Report

with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On your breakfast club. So listen up. Well, ASAP Rocky is still being detained in Sweden and it looks like there's a pattern there.

Now, Quavo spoke to TMZ and said he had some issues. Sweden had us. They had me and me and my cameraman on the curb, and they were trying to lock us up, too. They ended up letting us go. It is what it is, but Sweden real tough. All right. Apparently there's some issues there, and it looks like Kim and Kanye also lobbied Trump to get involved in A$AP Rocky's case in particular. I told y'all Kim was going to do that. Now, they said that Kanye actually urged Kim Kardashian to talk to Jared Kushner,

and Jared Kushner then filled in Donald Trump on what was happening, and Donald Trump believes that something is amiss. So they are supposedly trying to get there. A State Department member is supposed to arrive in Sweden actually today to work to get him out of jail. Oh, there go Kim K working her magic. If that doesn't work, then y'all can always just, you know, click up and go storm that place the way y'all want to storm Area 51. Take a trip over to Sweden.

All right. Kirk Franklin biopic is in the works. That's going to be amazing. I think that'll be a good one, and I would definitely go see that. Now, it's going to be produced by Devon Franklin. You know him from having been up here as an author, motivational speaker, director, and also Megan Good's husband. Okay. And it's going to be written by Brian Ivey.

Now, Brian Ivey most recently wrote and directed Emanuel, the documentary about the 2015 Charleston church mass shooting. So that should be a good one. All right. The Lion King, since we're talking movies, they're saying worldwide they expect by Sunday it's going to make $450 million. Wow. They said on the low end in the United States, it could make about $140 million, which is still great. But they're saying globally that's what they expect, $450 million. They said already in China,

it's already made quite a bit of money there. I'm excited about it. Why do you need to buy your ticket for this weekend, though? Why can't you just buy it for next week? Because my kids want to see it now. They want to see it when it comes out. It's going to be in theaters, guys. They want to see it this weekend.

They've been seeing all the coming attractions, the trailers. They want to see it now. It's not a one-weekend run. Do you tell Santa Claus not to come on Christmas and come two days later? I don't tell my kids about no goddamn Santa Claus. I work too hard to be telling my kids about some fat white man putting gifts under the tree. My Santa's not fat and white.

My Santa looks like me. And if your wife ever cheats on you with a fat white man around that time of year, they're not going to say nothing because they're going to think it's Santa. Think about that. No, they should still say something. They're still going to say something. They're still going to say something. No, because you're telling them a fat white man is supposed to be in the house around this time of year and it's late at night.

All right, now let's backtrack a little. It's one day, man. To some comments that Jermaine Dupri made, because now he's speaking out to defend these comments. To refresh you, Jermaine Dupri was talking to People Magazine. They were talking about female rappers, and this is what he said. I feel like they're all rapping about the same thing, and I don't think they're showing us who's the best rapper. It's like strippers rapping. I'm getting like, okay, you got a story about you dancing in a club.

You got a story about you dancing in a club. All right, who's going to be the rapper? At some point, somebody's going to have to break out of that mode and just show us, you know, talk about other things. Okay, so Jermaine Dupri wants to clarify because this clip went viral, but it didn't sell, according to him, the whole story of what he was talking about. So Jermaine Dupri was on TMZ Live, and here's what he said. There's a million female rappers that's out here rapping. What my statement was was about the three that she asked me about. It wasn't about a general conversation about female rap. I never said all female rappers. The one thing I want to make sure I'm clear on

is people keep saying sexist. I'm far from a sexist. Let's not do that. Do you regret doing the interview or are you kind of happy that people are talking about it? No, I don't regret it. I feel like I know I'm saying I never dissed anybody so I feel like the whole action of this needed somebody to do this.

He said three rappers. What three rappers was he talking about? Nicki Minaj, Cardi and Magnus. Why is Jermaine still talking about this, though? Better yet, why are people still asking Jermaine about this? Like, who cares? Because it was news. It made news. It was viral for a little bit.

That was two weeks ago, wasn't it? No, it was last week, I thought. Exactly. Who cares? I mean, people do care because a lot of people responded and said things about it, and it sparked a whole conversation. So now he's doing interviews. He's really doing interviews to promote a documentary that he's doing. I can't tell. But everybody's asking about it. And it sparked a whole conversation. So now he's doing interviews. He's really doing interviews to promote a documentary that he's doing.

I can't tell. But everybody's asking about this. What's a documentary about female rappers? That's what it sounds like to me. No. Oh. But he's doing a documentary. And so when he's doing these interviews, this is going to come up.

That's what they ask. Just like if he came up here, we would have asked him about it. I'm sure. I know. I'm sure we would have, though. And, you know, so that's what's happening. These are the first interviews he's done since those comments that sparked all kinds of conversations from female rappers

and other people as well. This seemed like so long ago. All right, now, Jadakiss, let's discuss something that he just ate. Now, what's your favorite part of a pizza when you eat pizza? There's only two parts to the pizza. It's either the crust or the regular pizza, I thought. No, I mean, some people don't like cheese. Some people don't like the sauce.

You said pizza to pizza, though. Yeah, what's your favorite part of pizza? What's my favorite topping? No, what's your favorite part of a pizza? Like, is it the crust? Is it the cheese? Is it the sauce? Some people like to get the sauce without the sauce.

How about all of the above? I like all of the above. Well, Jadakiss just got a pizza, and everybody's talking about this. He did a pizza with just the crust. So that was his special request, just crust only. So no cheese, no sauce, no toppings, just bread. Just crust. Y'all taking this vegan thing too far, bro.

Jesus Christ. Just bread. He got it from cuts and slices, too. So a lot of people are saying, why would you even do that? A lot of people throw the crust away. I know my kids hate the crust, but. Yeah, so now, according to the owner

of Cuts and Slices, he said, Jadakiss has been telling me since I opened up to figure out a way to just serve crust, his favorite part of any pizza. So now it's a thing

a year later. So people are ordering these pizza pies that's just crust only. Just bread. Very trendy. Yeah, it's just the crust. I don't know how

that just tastes. Why not just eat toast? You know what I'm saying? Why not just make some toast, Jada? All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, when we come back, front page news, what are we talking about? Since y'all are talking about Area 51, let's discuss the live streaming of the event that's going to go down. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe 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 Zakistan.

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

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

Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's talk about Area 51. Since y'all have been talking about this all morning, so far 1.4 million people are attending the Facebook event page.

You know, they're just watching to see what's going to happen. But now they are saying they're going to live stream the Storm Area 51 event. Well, good. They can't stop all of us. Boy, they're going to pull the screen as soon as everybody starts getting killed and clapped. Now the United States Department of Defense did state they will use deadly force to protect America and its assets. And that's just making people more interested. They can't shoot all those people.

Yes, they can. Now with no real bullets. They got to use rubber bullets or interested. They can't shoot all those people. Yes, they can. Now with no real bullets, they gotta use rubber bullets or something. They can't kill all those people. There's a clear sign that says you're not supposed to get on this property. If you get on this property, you're gonna get shot. Why do y'all not like rules? They can't kill all them Americans. There's no way. I can't see. Every single

one of them deserve to get shot. They're just gonna drop a bomb and start shooting them? It's a great opportunity to take out a bunch of cloud chasers. Alright, now let's talk about Donald Trump. He was at a North Carolina rally, and while he was there, people were chanting about Ilhan Omar. Now, you know her as one of the congresswomen, one of the four minority lawmakers that were attacked by Donald Trump

over the weekend. She was born in Somalia, but she's American. She's an American citizen, and here's what happened at the rally. Omar blamed the United States for the crisis in Venezuela. And she looks down with contempt on the hardworking Americans, saying that ignorance is pervasive in many parts of this country. Omar has a history of launching vicious anti-Semitic screeds. Send her back! Send her back! So they start chanting, send her back.

Now, she responded on social media, I am where I belong at the people's house, and you're just going to have to deal. The way Donald Trump plays the media is masterful. Yesterday, Robert Mueller was supposed to testify. Trump had a rally planned for last night to distract us from whatever Mueller said. Mueller's testimony ended up getting delayed, so instead of us talking about Trump's crimes and him being a traitor

and possible impeachment, we're having pointless discussions about him being racist. We got him rallying the troops against Representative Omar. All distractions from the fact that he is a criminal, a traitor, and needs to be impeached. He plays the media masterfully. Now, Cardi B responded to Ilhan Omar's remarks and

said, you know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation. So that was her remarks in support of Omar. Meanwhile, the Democrats are cowards. Nobody on that side standing up calling Donald Trump what he is, a traitor, a criminal. There's no one more unpatriotic than Donald Trump. He clearly doesn't like America. He wants to make it great

again because he doesn't like this country. He's always complaining about this country. So by his definition, we have to consider him unpatriotic than Donald Trump. He clearly doesn't like America. He wants to make it great again because he doesn't like this country. He's always complaining about this country. So by his definition, we have to consider him unpatriotic. Isn't that why he's on AOC and Representative Obama? Yeah, these are American citizens as well. He's on them for the exact same reason. He's unpatriotic, too, by his definition. All right, now let's talk about that viral app, FaceApp,

that has over 100 million people have downloaded that from Google Play. And now it's the top-ranked app in the App Store in 121 countries. But it turns out with the Russians, you have now granted them a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid, transferable, sub-licensable, licensed to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create, derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and display your user content in any name, username, or likeness provided in connection with your user content in all media formats, all of that without compensation to you. So everybody that was using that to see what they're going to look like when they get old and having fun with it,

now they can use your picture for anything they want with no fee to use. That's crazy. Well, here's the gag. All the people who downloaded the Russian Face app are playing in the storm area 51, so they know they're going to get shot and they're not going to be here, so they don't give a damn no more. And I was looking up what Facebook, what they have on their rules, as far as what you agreed to when you signed up for that,

but they do say on Facebook, once you take down your picture, they can't use it unless, you know, other people have shared it or whatever, but they have nothing to do with that. So once you remove your picture from off of Facebook, it's not something that they own. They can't use it unless, you know, other people have shared it or whatever, but they have nothing to do with that. So once you remove your picture from off of Facebook, it's not something that they can't use it again permanently. And they also are very clear that you still own all of your own content. That's your content. And they don't really use it.

They don't use it for ads. But if your face appears next to an ad, you know, that's not them using it for an ad. So this is totally different than a Russian app. Yeah, it's different. So what have we learned here today? We learned not to storm Area 51 and not download that Russian ad. I didn't download the ad. Did y'all?

No. Nope. Nope. I do want y'all to really don't storm Area 51. We don't want y'all to get shot. Okay? If there was something there, it was moved a long time ago. It's been around since 1955, guys.

Why would you keep aliens there knowing everybody knows that they're there? All right? Aliens don't even want to be there no more. I'm intrigued now. I'm interested now. You gonna go? No, hell no.

I'm not getting shot. Ain't no aliens. The aliens are just like anyone else, okay? Once they know that a bunch of niggas know where they live, they move, right?

Okay? It's just the way it is. My goodness. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, Frederick Haynes will be joining us. You gonna tell the people who Frederick is? He's a way it is. My goodness. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, Frederick Haynes will be joining us.

You want to tell the people who Frederick is? He's a pastor, man. That's my guy. He's a brilliant, brilliant mind. He uses hip-hop along with scripture to get his messaging out. All right. He's a great friend of Michael Eric Dyson. If you think Michael Eric Dyson is a great wordsmith, you will love Freddie Haynes.

All right. We'll kick it with him in a minute. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Dr. Freddie Haynes. Welcome, sir. Good morning, my brother. Good morning. It's an honor to be here. Thank you.

You know, I learned something about you new this morning. I learned that your full name is Frederick Douglas Haynes III. Yes, sir. What is the significance of Frederick Douglas in your family? That compelled everybody to adopt that name. Right. Well, my grandfather, he was orphaned at the age of four, and as a consequence he was raised by his aunt

and his sister, and they called him Bubba. And this is in West Virginia, back in, what, the early part of the last century. And when he first went to school, he didn't have a name because he had just been called Bubba. And so when he gets to school, the teacher says, what's your name? And at that moment, because he had been taught about Frederick Douglass, you know, he just adopted on the spot. Wow. Frederick Douglass Haynes.

And so he became, you he became a civil rights activist, one of the first. He was the first African American to run for county supervisor in San Francisco. And so my point with him is he taught me in life, you don't discover who you are, you decide who you are.

And he did that at the age of nine. He's been a model for me because, again, he used his skills of oratory in order to impact the world, set people free, and really change a nation. Yeah, and he made me feel like this is one of the reasons we have to be engaged with political leaders. Oh, no question. You know what I'm saying? Like a lot of people like to call you Uncle Tom.

You'll sell out if you're engaging with political leaders, but I think that you have to be. Right. As far as I'm concerned, he pushed Abraham Lincoln to do what Lincoln did. And so that is an unsung part of our history. But you don't have an Emancipation Proclamation without the influence and the exertion of power that Frederick Douglass, who self-taught himself how to read, how to write, and used that skill in order to impact the nation. There's people that think that church and politics should be separate, but clearly you're not one of those people.

So talk about the importance of being political and being active when it comes to your civic duty in the church. Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, we talk about this scripture that says, the earth is the Lord's, the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. What's interesting is a definition of politics from a boy, Michael Eric Dyson, is politics is the art of what? Distributing resources. So if the earth belongs to God and politics is about distributing resources, shouldn't God have something to say about how resources are distributed? And so when you look in the Bible and you see what? Over a thousand scriptural references on justice. Justice should inform our politics.

If it doesn't, then you have a lot of the junk that we have today. But a lot of the government also uses the Bible to distort society as well. No question. No question. I mean, sadly, the Bible has been misused and abused. I'm sure you all have seen this, but there's a piece down in D.C. now, the slave Bible, where in the 19th century, missionaries from England took this Bible that was heavily edited. We like the word redacted today.

They literally extracted from the Bible the Exodus, anything Jesus said about freedom, and that was the Bible they used to give to slaves. And so that DNA in the Christianity that's often mispracticed by a lot of white Christians is still operative today. It's an edited Bible that basically says we're going to redact out of it anything that deals with justice, because if we do that, then we've got to look at ourselves in the mirror, and we're not going to like what we see. Do you think a lot of people are stepping away from the church now because it seems like the church is big business. It seems like people are into church and everybody's a pastor or a reverend now because it's a way to get money.

You got 12,000 people attending your church. I mean, so again, everyone ain't stepping away from the church. You do have examples of churches that are still growing, and that's a beautiful thing. But we got to be real and recognize that there are a whole lot of people who basically and they say on social media all the time that's why I don't go to church anymore and they have examples that I understand but there are churches that will never get shine they will never get a stage or a platform but they're doing the real work how do you get people to believe in something like the Bible when you can say,

all right, these parts of the Bible are BS, but these parts of the Bible are good? Right. I'm always keeping the Bible in context. When you keep the Bible in context, A, you discover what brilliant biblical scholar Jerome Ross says, and that is none of Scripture was written without being in a context of oppression. And so when we talk about, what, my involvement in politics and economic development, that is rooted in, what, a Bible that in many instances, matter of fact, Jerome Rawls says, in all instances, except for a brief moment during the reign of David, oppression was the political and economic context.

So you mean to tell me if all of that took place in the context of oppression, that the Bible says nothing about oppression? The Bible says nothing about politics? I mean, Jesus got lynched on a cross. Right. And again, that lynching took place handed down by the Roman Empire. And so why would he get lynched on a cross and he was not a threat to the Roman Empire? Absolutely. And so I think that a lot of times we take the text out of context.

And if you keep the Bible in its context, then truth comes out. What about people who use the context of the Bible in its context, then truth comes out. What about people who use the context of the Bible to speak out against homosexuality? Well, again, I think that they're taking it out of context. If we're going to keep it a buck, number one, you got eight passages of scripture that they misuse in order to abuse that community, the LBGTQ community. Eight passages of Scripture, maybe, because some of them, if we're honest, biblical scholars say they refer to pedophilia, because there is no word in Greek or Hebrew for homosexuality.

So the bottom line is you've got a lot of lying going on in order to justify their own, what, theological agenda, which is rooted in their own psychological issues. Doesn't it say being gay? That they've never dealt with. Doesn't it say being gay? No, it says man on man is an abomination or something like that. Okay. But again, when you deal with it in terms of the original language, and again, eight passages of Scripture, maybe. It's a big Bible, and you're going to pick eight passages to be passionate about.

Okay, you've got some issues that I'm real concerned about, especially when Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love your God, love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and your neighbor as yourself, especially when the dominant narrative of Jesus was love, and you use the Bible to hate on a community that you have issues with. And here's what gets me. The more you dig into those who use and misuse the Bible to abuse a community, the more you discover, huh, okay, who you been sleeping with? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, what's up with you? And so, you know, anybody who is passionately using the Bible in order to justify hatred, I'm concerned about your issues.

And that's part of the reason why I think a lot of people don't necessarily follow church as they should, I guess you can say, because you pick certain things out and you say, well, if the Bible says this, then what about this? Right. How can the Bible possibly say this when this means that? And it just seems like some of that stuff cannot possibly be right. Right.

Because it's almost like the old game you play. I'm going to tell you something and you're in. By the time it gets to 100 people, it's never the same thing. You know? Right. And that's how I feel with the Bible and how some of the scriptures are being read. Right, no question. You can make the Bible

say whatever you want it to say, if, again, you take it out of context. We have more with Pastor Frederick Haynes when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelique Charlemagne. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Pastor Freddie Haynes. Charlamagne? What is it about hip-hop that inspires you, though? Because you use hip-hop to not only reach young people, but you do put in your sermons. I've heard you quote Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle. Like, what is it about hip-hop that inspires you? Well, I mean, first of all, I mean, I've done a sermon one Easter. For me, one of my best.

It was called The Breakfast Club. And you retweeted me. When Angela Yee did that, I said, I've made it now. But for me, on a serious tip, hip-hop, number one, as Michael Dyson says, you have poets and philosophers from the pavement who allow the streets to speak. And so, again, if I'm calling myself connected to Jesus, who really, again, put him in context. When you're reading the Gospels, where do you find him most? In the slums, in the trenches. In the streets.

Yeah. In the slums, with the people. That's right. And so my thing is, if I'm not hearing from the streets, there's no way I can witness to the streets. And so for me, I think it's very important that we recognize that hip hop is the most what? Admired, appropriated and attacked culture on the planet. As far as I'm concerned, there's a reason for that.

And one reason is because hip hop is not afraid to express truth in a raw fashion We have, as far as I'm concerned, the most powerful expression of black power going on Since the black power movement of the late 60s, early 70s And hip-hop is carrying that ball Now, what's the most difficult part, you would say, for your job As far as preaching the gospel, being an educator, being an activist? What is most stressful for you? Oh, wow.

We live in a country where we could elect a 46 minus one. trauma stress for a community that historically has always been already traumatized and under so much stress and so right now I mean my counseling load has just elevated like crazy and when I think about it a lot that is behind it is the kind of nation we live in right now. We're in the United States of Anxiety as we speak. Well said. This is the U.S. of A., the United States of Anxiety, and it's the United States of Anxiety, the United States that attacks black people.

And all too often, I hurt because I don't have all the answers. So right now, to be honest, it's just an overload. I had that conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes, like, you know, prayer is great and faith is great, but so is therapy. And, you know, he agreed, and I think that's the thing. I think sometimes pastors have been the backbone of the black community for so long, and we go to pastors and we

put our problems, you know, in y'all lap, but sometimes y'all don't have all the answers. Sometimes it's not a scripture for everything. Sometimes you gotta outsource and say, you know what, I got a therapist, a psychiatrist you should talk to. Oh, that's real talk, and that's why we have, thank God for Dr. Sometimes you got to outsource and say, you know what? I got a therapist, a psychiatrist you should talk to. Oh, that's real talk. And that's why we have, thank God for Dr. Brenda Wall at Friendship West. And we've created a counseling community because, again, I can't do it all.

Since you were talking about speaking, you do have this book, Rocking the World with Your Words, an essential guide to developing and delivering a life-changing message. My whole thing is I want to rock the world with my words. And so I even deal with how you find your voice through your, what, past, your personality, as well as, you know, what God has uniquely done through you and wants to accomplish through you by way of purpose. Now, question, if you could ask the man upstairs one question, what would the question be? Oh, wow.

Just one. This has been private up until you made me go public. Why have black folk caught so much hell for so long? I ask that question often, too. But, I mean, doesn't the Bible speak on us being the chosen ones and there's going to be a time after 400 years where the last shall be first. I know I'm taking it all out of context, but isn't it something along those lines?

You're a great biblical scholar. No, but on a serious tip, I mean, for me, that is real. it's just that okay within the context of 400 years you've had you know our sister who died last year uh who was raped in alabama oprah gave a shout out to her and i'm sorry her name escapes me right now uh she gets raped uh in 1944 and dies last year and justice was never served. And so I get, and I'm with you on that, I promise you I am, that yeah, 400 years of oppression, no doubt, God's going to turn the table. But it's during those 400 years that so many innocent people get killed. God, I love you. I know you're up to something. I know this thing is going to change

soon. But in the meantime, the meantime has been so mean to those who find themselves under the iron of oppression in this country. Why do you think black people are so forgiven when it comes to that? We talk about that a lot. Look at that damn Bible. Like, we're so forgiven. Damn Bible with that. Okay. I didn't mean it like that, but you know it's under that Bible, though. No, no, no, no, no. That's real. And I would say

the damnable way that the Bible is misused in order to abuse people. And one of my favorite people is a brilliant woman and scholar, Dr. Stacey Floyd Thomas. She says this, DJ,

and that is, it ain't that we're forgiving, we're accepting. Why? Because she says there's a difference between forgiving and accepting. When you forgive, it presupposes you have power. Jesus says, forgive us our debts. That means you owe me. I'm in a position of power. So I forgive you because I have the power to do that.

And so you're talking about people who ain't got power. What was that shimmy? I'm going to tell you. Go ahead. I'm going to tell you why I love that. I know. Why did you do that? So you're talking about people who are powerless talking about forgiving?

No. No. You're accepting, but you're not forgiving because you're not in a position to do that. You ain't got the power to do that. And so as far as I'm concerned, it ain't that we're forgiving. We've been accepting. And until we deal with the difference, the sad reality is we're going to keep on accepting what we shouldn't accept, which precludes us from ever gaining real power.

We appreciate you for joining, man. The book, Rocking the World with Your Words. Yeah. Dr. Frederick Haynes. This can't be your last time up here, my brother. Oh, man, thank you. I'm honored. My daughter turned me on to The Breakfast Club years ago.

Even while she works for me, I know that there's a certain time of day I ain't even gonna talk to her. She's watching The Breakfast Club. We appreciate her, even though she went to Howard. Shout out to your daughter. Frederick is really who he says he is. I met him out in the streets.

I met you outside doing the work. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So he is who he says he is. Well, thank you for joining us again. I appreciate you all so much. Please keep up the great work and keep challenging these folk who are running for office because what you've done that I love so much is that this election is not going to settle for symbolic politics if you ain't

dealing with black issues don't even come to the black community and you all are making candidates actually face up to what are you going to? What's your vision for black people? Because we deserve to have our agenda and not just be taken for granted. And if it ain't for the Breakfast Club, a whole lot of folk will just slide on through. Thank you for joining us again, bro. Give me your Twitters and Instagrams

and all that stuff too, Fred. Oh, yes. I'm on Twitter at FH Unscripted. And that's also my Instagram, which is run by my daughter, Howard. And then on Facebook, Frederick D. Haynes.

And if you're going to look and see how much followers you got right now, that's why you ain't got no followers. You got somebody from Howard. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider morning. 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 Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God.

What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love

hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.

And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. I'm really intrigued for Area 51 now. Man, shut up, man. You're so late.

Why are you up so long? I don't know. I didn't even care about it. I didn't believe in aliens. You should join the people's storm and you should be on the front lines. I started looking it up and I'm like, this is very interesting.

And not even the fact that it's aliens, it's that people really believe and they're really going there and they're risking getting shot and killed and they're videotaping it. It's mad cool. All these years I've been on this radio talking about extraterrestrials and aliens

and you look at me like I'm crazy. Now all of a sudden you're intrigued. AF501, I've been around since the 50s, bro. I'm not intrigued with the alien part. I'm intrigued with people going and really risking their lives to get shot to see what's over there. Oh, you want to see people just get shot for no reason.

Book a party in Chicago. Come on, Chicago ain't that bad. Hey, I want to salute Dave Chappelle. I was at Dave Chappelle's show last night. I went to go see him on Broadway. If you can afford to go, you should go see Dave Chappelle on Broadway. It's worth the price of admission. They don't have any of those deals you can get to get tickets?

Check coupon. I have no idea. I paid for my tickets because I support black business. And Dave Chappelle is black. I don't know if you know that or not. How much were get tickets? Check coupon. I have no idea. I paid for my tickets because I support black business and Dave Chappelle is black. I don't know if you know that or not. How much were the tickets? For me, it was a

friends and family discount. No need for me to put the price out there. You know what I'm saying? But it wasn't cheap. But all I'm saying is if you can afford to go, go.

And Jon Stewart actually opened up for Dave Chappelle last night. I think, you know, if you've been to a Dave Chappelle show, you never know who's going to pop up on stage.

Last night was Jon Stewart. It was amazing. So I think that you should go. Damn, why didn't you put you never know who's going to pop up on stage. Last night was Jon Stewart. It was amazing. So I think that you should go. Damn, why didn't you put Donnell on there? Donnell opened up Tuesday night. Okay. Donnell is in Montreal for the, I don't know, what do they got, some type of festival out there? Comedy festival?

Yeah, Just for Laughs, I think it's called. Just for Laughs. Something like that. I'm looking at how much tickets cost. Just to see. How much are they? What'd it say? For people who might want to go.

What'd it say? Let's see how much these tickets cost. It's a pretty penny now. How much is that? See tickets. Let's see. It's a pretty see. How much is that? What'd it say? For people who might want to go. What'd it say? Let's see how much these tickets cost. It's a pretty penny now. How much is that? See tickets. Let's see. It's a pretty penny. How much? Hold on. It's pulling it up because there's all different price. Tickets may fluctuate based on demand. $150

for orchestra seats. That's high. Those are the lowest price. Oh, $150. Oh, that must be high. You must be touching the ceiling. Oh, wow. But you know what it is? There's only single seats left. Oh, so you got to sit somewhere else. How much was yours? A little bit more than that.

How much? Keep going. These are orchestra seats. They don't look that. But the only thing is that it's, so you'll just be sitting alone. That's the problem. That's whack. Take your girl with you.

She's on one side, you're on the other side. Yeah, so these are all $150, and they're all orchestra seats, which is not bad. Now, come on. What about closer? Let me see. Let me look for a different date. Listen, it's a good show regardless of how much the ticket prices

cost. Like I said, if you can afford to go, you should go. It's a good show. Oh man, I have to click to verify. Come on, yeah. I'm on ticket. Now I gotta select which one is a in this order. This is gonna take too long. There's too much verification. I guess people keep on. Are you trying to buy

tickets right now? I'm trying to tell people how much it costs. I'm going through the motions like I'm about to buy tickets so I can tell you how much these tickets cost. All right. It's pulling up. Oh, boy. Oh, that one's sold out. You got dial-up or something?

Your computer's mad slow, Yee. Jesus Christ. It's sold out, this one. All right, forget it. Because it's him and Joe Rogan. Oh. We got rumors on the way? Yes.

We are going to talk about Ayesha Curry. I don't know why y'all be bothering this woman. She just be minding her business. Her Millie Rock was hilarious yesterday. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Ayesha Curry. 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 May y'all be harassing Aisha Curry for no reason Now she posted yesterday was a dream We celebrated our fourth international smoke opening in Del Mar I can't thank the team enough I have no words This will never feel normal I am so grateful Thank you to my family and friends For coming to support me as well We didn't get pictures because we had way too much fun.

So she's having a great time. Opened her fourth restaurant, right? Only problem is that people keep on going in on her. Now they were making fun of her for her hot girl summer definition. And here's what she said when asked about what the hot girl summer is. Okay, so I guess I'm not that cool of a mom because I just had to ask somebody the other day, what is hot girl summer? But apparently, you know, there's this song that's out right now by a girl group called City Girls and I guess they want the nation to embrace and all the women

and men to embrace that way of being I guess it's just being your best self in your own skin and living your best life but in the summer okay so that was her explanation except that obviously it's a song by Megan Thee Stallion and she had to clarify what that meant so first I used to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion my bad girl had to clarify what that meant. So first I used to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion. My bad, girl. There's too many summers going on, and he put me on the spot. And she put laughing and praying emojis, and that's when Megan Thee Stallion responded, and she said on Twitter,

being a hot girl is about being unapologetically you, having fun, being confident, living your truth, being the life of the party, et cetera. And so that's her explanation. It is too many summers going on, but your truth, being the life of the party, etc. And so that's her explanation. It is too many summers going on, but always remember, people, I don't know always works. It's perfectly fine to say I don't know when asked a question that you may be confused about.

Because he did it like you're the cool mom. So what's a hot girl summer? She was like, I don't know. What's wrong with that? I don't know. She tried to give an answer. She said she had to ask somebody what it was. That's what she should have started with and closed with. That's what she started with. She said I had to ask somebody. I don't know. I mean, she tried to give an answer. She tried. She said she had to ask somebody what it was. That's what she should have started with and closed with. That's what she started with. She said, I have to ask somebody. I don't know.

I have to ask somebody. No, she said, I had to ask somebody, and that's, I guess, what they told her. She still gave the wrong definition. It wasn't completely all the way wrong, except that it's not the same girl. She was in the ballpark. Right. She was in the ballpark. It is living your best life.

She hit the rim. And that's what she said. All right. Now, she also got made fun of for Millie rocking as she was opening her new restaurant because she was so excited. If you have Rebolt TV, I'm sure you can see what her Millie rock actually looked

like because she opened her new restaurant. This move right here. Look at this one. Look at this one. I like that sturdiness. It kind of looks like when Envy was learning how to do the Millie Rock. I ain't mad at her. That looks like a look.

She's having a great time. She opened her restaurant. She probably had a few glasses of wine. And she Millie Rocked with her husband. There's nothing wrong with that. I do it with my wife. They was killing her for that? Yes.

They killed her. And Steph Curry actually defended her. Slow news day today, I see, huh? Just make sure y'all send me the video of you dancing at your own restaurant opening. We'll keep Millie rocking. Light flex on you bum-ass niggas one time. That's the whole little light flex.

We opening up restaurants, okay? That's what's sturdy over here, alright? I mean, if I were going in there, somebody said on Twitter I should go to jail for dancing like that. Come on now, y'all are doing too much. Milly Rock was kind of crazy. But I mean, she's not what I'm mad at.

I'm about to block you, Milly Rock, on. I ain't mad at that. I didn't tell you to move. All right, but congratulations to her. Fourth restaurant. All right, and congratulations to Rich Paul, Super Agent Rich Paul. He's LeBron's agent, as you know, as well as 20 other players. He's just inked a deal with United Talent Agency.

UTA. It's one of the top talent agencies in Hollywood. They rep Kevin Hart, Angelina Jolie, Tiffany Haddish. Well, now he's brought in his Clutch Sports Group. And, of course, LeBron is one of those clients. And he's going to be the person in charge of the sports division over at UTA. So congratulations to Rich Paul. Congrats. He said, this puts me in direct competition with the largest agencies in the world.

There's nothing we cannot do for an athlete. If a guy wants to write a book, great. If he wants to be a Fortnite champion, great. If he wants to act, great. He wants to buy a surfboard company, fantastic. There is nothing that we can't do for the modern athlete. Remember when Rich Paul used to be around? He used to be around you all the time?

Back in the day? Yeah, me and Rich Paul are friends. Yeah. Still, to this day. That was like years ago. Yeah, that's our guy. Shout out to everybody in Cleveland. Congrats are friends. Yeah. Still, to this day. Way back. That was like years ago. Yeah, that's our guy. Shout out to everybody in Cleveland. Congrats to him.

Yep. All right, and April Jones getting ready for the sixth season of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood. I don't understand this boy. Yes. And, you know, she's talking about, the fact is that she has two kids with Omarion, but she, I guess, is now allegedly dating Lil Fizz. Here's what she said. He's definitely someone who I always consider just like an angel sent into my life. He has been there

through the course of just that I deal with with the father of my kids, just helping me in that aspect. I'm a single mom. I have no family in LA and I'm just truly, honestly grateful for him. There's no relationship between Omarion and I. I would honestly say that we co-parent and we can't even do that. I would honestly say this is We co-parent, and we can't even do that. I would honestly say this is probably the worst that it has been in our relationship because we don't really communicate because he won't communicate.

Yeah, you got my band member in the crib. Like, yes, we're not going to communicate. Nobody else sees a problem with that? She also says that Lil Fizz deserves a vagina. But I'm not opposed to f***ing him. Is that what you mean to say? I mean, I'm not. She needs some d***, and I'd rather give it to a person that's my friend as opposed to someone who's just a. But I'm not opposed to f***ing him. Is that what you mean to say? I mean, I'm not. A bitch needs some d***,

and I'd rather give it to a person that's my friend as opposed to someone who's just a guy that I'm knowing. He's deserving of the d***. Let's just be really honest. If I decide to give it to him one day, I would be proud of that because I have given guys my vagina that don't deserve it. He deserves it.

I deserve it. Come on now. Preach, April Jones. Drop on the clothesline For April Jones Why? You know back in the day I used to have a consultant company

Called PPM Which is proper Pum Pum management Correct Because there was a lot of women Out here mismanaging Their vaginas Would you rather see her

To take her power back like that? I respect it Would you rather see her With Fizz or Ryan Henry Because she was on Black in Chicago That was my friend And he was in her video

Whoever values your vagina That's my band member Like It's like she said. She out here giving it to all of these guys who don't value it. All of these guys who you've been mismanaging it all these years. I can't go on tour with you now. Why not? We can't stand next to each other and you knocking off my wife. I just want to say there's a funny

tweet out now. Complex Magazine put out, Jerry Foxhoven, the director of Iowa's Department of Human Services was told to resign for being an outspoken Tupac fan. He would regularly email employees inspirational Tupac quotes and images. They made him resign. So you can't sleep with the same girl, but you can sleep with the same manager. Allegedly.

See? See? Just asking a question. See? See? Allegedly. Thank you for the rumor report, Yee. Court in arrest, Yee.

You're welcome. See? I'm not messing with you. Court in arrest, Yee. Allegedly. I'm just saying. See? That's your rumor report.

Let's keep it moving. We can't toy doing that. Donkey of the day, who you giving your donkey to? Some of y'all will figure that out later. But, Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? This guy's crazy. I don't even remember. Oh, Rand Paul.

He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. This guy's crazy, man. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, donkey. This don't be a donkey. Because right now come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. This guy's crazy, man. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, donkey. Don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat.

Did she get donkey in the name, please, Dylan? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. That's the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day. For Thursday, July, bitches. You're a donkey. Yeah, it's donkey of the day. For Thursday, July 18th, goes the Republican Senator Rand Paul.

Now, who remembers when the legendary John Stewart was on Capitol Hill testifying for the 9-11 Victim Compensation Fund? Now, what is the 9-11 Victim Compensation Fund? It is a fund to compensate

the victims of 9-11, duh, in exchange for their agreement not to sue the airline corporations involved. Now, the 9-11 Vict compensation fund was set to expire. And back in June, Jon Stewart was on Capitol Hill fighting for the fund to be extended. Let's play some of what Jon had to say for those who forgot. There is not a person here, there is not an empty chair on that stage that didn't tweet

out, never forget the heroes of 9-11. Never forget their bravery. Never forget what they did, what they gave to this country. Well, here they are. They responded in five seconds. They did their jobs with courage, grace, tenacity, humility. 18 years later, do yours. Your indifference costs these men and women their most valuable commodity.

Time. It's the one thing they're running out of. Why would you be against this? The greatest terror attack ever on American soil. Why wouldn't you still be taking care of your first responders? This is what I be saying about America. You have all these people in positions of power who claim to be so American, so patriotic, who get

upset when Kaepernick and other football players kneel, when the National Anthem is played, who get upset when people like AOC or Representative Omar have the nerve to use their freedom of speech to speak about things they don't like about this country. You call them unpatriotic. You say they hate America. You tell them go back where they came from. But when it comes time to take care of fellow Americans, they show who the real unpatriotic people are. Because yesterday, the first responder's health care bill was about to be unanimous unanimously passed unanimously you know unanimously means

right all okay correct but one person one monkey stopped the show let's go to cbs2ny for the report please mr president i ask unanimous consent kirsten gillibrand was looking to fast track the new 9-11 funding bill through the senate but but was stopped by a single senator, Rand Paul of Kentucky. Any new spending that we are approaching, any new program that's going to have the longevity of 70, 80 years, should be offset by cutting spending that's less valuable. The bill would reauthorize the victim compensation fund through 2090, but Senator Paul says he wants to offer an amendment to pay for the bill. The bill already passed the House with 402 votes, and Senator Gillibrand says they have more than enough

support in the Senate. Senator Paul may have turned his back on her first responders today, but now we have a filibuster-proof bipartisan support of 73 co-sponsors in addition to myself, which means there are no more excuses for those on the other side. Let me break that down for you. Rand Paul says he's blocking because of the $22 trillion debt that America has. All right. Okay. All of that sounds good.

But Rand Paul is the same person who voted in favor of President Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion tax cut. And by the way, that tax cut is helping drive a deficit increase. So Rand Paul doesn't mind U.S. deficit increases. He just minds U.S. deficit increases when he doesn't agree on where the money is going. I don't know why people are surprised, okay? You see how America treats its veterans. If they don't give a damn about the people who have fought for this country, why would they give a damn about the first responders and 9-11?

Okay, I believe all veterans should get free room and board for the rest of their life, free health care, they shouldn't have to pay any taxes, and they should get a stipend every month to pay bills and eat. That's just my thoughts. So the same with first responders. I don't know what they get from the 9-11 Victims Compensation Fund, but whatever it is, they deserve it. Now, I have to defer to people smarter than me when situations like this happen. And John Stewart is smarter than all of us. And he was on Fox News yesterday replying to Rand Paul blocking the vote. And he had this to say. He stands up at the last minute after 15 years

of blood, sweat and tears from the 9-11 community to say that it's all over now. Now we're going to balance the budget on the backs of the 9-11 first responder community. It's absolutely outrageous. And you'll pardon me if I'm not impressed in any way by Rand Paul's fiscal responsibility virtue signaling. At some point, we have to stand up for the people who have always stood up for us. That's right. And at this moment in time, maybe cannot stand up for themselves due to their illnesses and their injuries. He's right. There's absolutely positively no reason to block this bill other than being evil.

All right, Rand Paul, you are the Grinch that stole the first responders 9-11 victims compensation fund. Now, a statement came out that said Senator Paul is not blocking anything. He is simply seeking to pay for it. As with any bill, Senator Paul always believes it needs to be paid for. Duh! Not pay for it. Everybody who voted for it knows the bill needs to be paid for. And clearly, they know where the money is.

So, Rand Paul, why are you the only person blocking the payment of it? I'm all for people standing alone. Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out? But, Rand Paul, this is not the one to be alone on, okay? This is one of those times when going with the crowd is absolutely fine. You know when your parents are an adult, would say to you, if all your friends jump off a bridge, are you going to jump?

Yes, I am. This is one of those times you should have jumped nose first without a parachute. But the reason you didn't jump head first is because you don't have the heart of those first responders. Those first responders asked zero questions when it came time to help someone in need. They jumped head first, gave their lives for the benefit of others, something you, Rand Paul, know nothing about. Please give Rand Paul the biggest hee-haw. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

Yes, ma'am. Sir. I said what I said. And I said I'm sir. I said what I said. I said I'm sir. I said what I said. I said I'm sir.

Ma'am, calm down, ma'am. It's a sir. I said I'm sir. Calm down, ma'am. It's a sir. Calm down, ma'am. I'm going to need my resources. Calm down, ma'am.

I identify myself as a male. Calm down, ma'am. It's a sir. I'm going to need my resources. Calm down, ma'am. I identify myself as a male. All right. Up next, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. Why? Nothing. If you got a question for Yee, call her right now. 800-585-1051.

Whatever you need. Relationship advice or any type of advice, hit her right now. She'll help you out. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? My name is Alada Kumbo. A what?

Alada Kumbo. Yeah, Alada Kumbo. Okay, Alada Kumbo. Okay, Alada Kumbo. What's your question? All right, my question is, basically, I went out with my lady, my wife, and we went to buy some clothes and stuff,

and I picked out a shirt. She was just, she did not like it at all. Okay. Like my instincts were telling me, you know what, just get this shirt. I think it looks good. And the day that I wore the shirt, multiple people and other women were complimenting me on it. So I wanted to ask, like, should I listen to my wife or follow my instincts?

I think it could be a balance of both things. I mean, sometimes you and your wife will agree and sometimes you won't. When it comes to small things like buying some clothing, go with what you like. We all have our own personal sense of style. Okay. Like there's stuff that my boyfriend will wear that I would never have picked it out. But it turns out looking good on him and I would never have picked that. So sometimes we're wrong.

Just like I'm sure there's things that she wears that you would have never been like, oh, that's dope, but she liked it and it looked good on her, you know? And sometimes we just have to, again, be independent and be our own person when it comes to things like that. No, I think you're

absolutely right. Okay, what does this shirt look like? Excuse me? It was a shirt from, what do you call it? It's on Primark. It's a black shirt, like a black floral shirt. Okay, good job. I'm picking something a little edgy. Thank you.

No problem. All right. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type advice, you can call Yee right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

This is AJ. Good morning. Hey, good morning. What's your question for Yee? Okay, so I'm torn between the two. I have an ex-boyfriend, and I had a guy that I was talking to. He was a minister. But I want to go kind of back with my ex-boyfriend.

But I still like the minister, so I'm kind of torn between the two. I left my ex because we were arguing a lot and I make more money than him. So that's why I left him. You left him because you make more money than him. I do, I do. I'm a construction worker

so that was a lot of arguments because I'm like, I make more money than you. How do I respect you if you don't want to beat my money? Girl, you can't I'm like, I make more money than you. How do I respect you if you don't want to, you know, beat my money? Girl, you can't throw that in somebody's face that you make more money than they do. That could change at any

moment. Oh, you're right. You're right. Okay, but the minister guy, like, I was messing with him. I really liked him, but I did something wrong and went to jail the next day after I messed with him. So I'm like, okay, God, that was a sign. What'd you go to jail for? Traffic tickets, traffic tickets.

But it was still that I was messing with him, and, you know, like I said, I was in France the night before, and I went to jail the next morning. So I didn't, I was like, here, let's see him. Maybe you don't need to, I think you don't need to have a boyfriend. Maybe you need to just date. I like that. I think that was the best advice.

Okay, great. Thank you, God. God, have a boyfriend. Maybe you need to just date. I like that. I think that was the best advice. Okay, great. Thank you, y'all. You guys have a blessed morning. Okay, you too. She had to call you to ask you that? My goodness. God damn. Hot girl summer.

Hello, who's this? Shy. Oh, shy. What's the matter, shy? You sound depressed. You sound hurt. What's wrong? She got an attitude.

Shy. Shy. I'm not depressed. Anyways, I had a question. So what do you guys think about someone or a couple getting each other a free pass before they get married, but like a month before they get married? To go out and have sex with other people? Yes, for like a night or a weekend.

I think that's up to you, but it sounds dangerous to me. Whose idea was it? Yours or his? Mine. Really? So who do you want to have sex with? me. Whose idea was it, yours or his? Mine. Really? So who do you want to have sex with? Who do you want to knock off? I don't know.

It's just an idea. I thought it would be a good idea. I don't think that's a good idea. You guys already have a commitment before you got married, so why would you do that? Now, I will say this. There are some couples who are okay with having an open relationship and having an open situation, and that's on y'all.

I'm not going to tell anybody how to have their own relationship. But as far as having a free pass, are you sure that you're not going to be upset about this later on? Are you sure this won't lead to something else? Are you sure it's not leaving the door open? I'm not. How would I be sure unless I do it? I don't know. Exactly.

You're not. That's true. I'm not. So just understand that there's consequences. And the consequences might be he stays in touch with this woman. You might end up getting jealous or feeling a certain way. He might end up feeling like that about you. Mm-hmm.

Is that a risk you're willing to take? I guess not. Not necessarily, no. No, I guess so. Then no. Okay. Well, there's your answer. Okay.

Thank you. You're welcome. All right. Ask Yee,. You're welcome. All right. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit her at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, so She's Gotta Have It has, unfortunately, been canceled on Netflix after two seasons. Damn. I didn't even watch the second season. The second season came out?

Yeah, it's been out for a couple of months now. They did some great promo as far as items that they had that they sent out for the new season, and I love the billboards they did. They had some nice artwork, but, you know, I did watch, like, a couple of episodes, and I hadn't finished it yet, so now I feel like

I gotta finish it. I feel like it's our fault. We didn't watch it yet. Yeah, I didn't know that it was out, and I wonder what causes them to cancel shows on Netflix. Is it the fact that people

just simply don't watch them? I'm sure. Because I've been hearing them announce their ratings lately. They never used to do that, but now they do that more and more. Right, well, according to Variety,

they're saying the show was canceled, but Spike Lee is reportedly expected to shop the series to other platforms. Okay. And there you have it. BET. I think BET would be a great place for Sheen to have it.

As long as they can pay for the production value that they had over at Netflix, too. I don't see why not. They got Boomerang and B.A. Mary Jane and Real Husbands of Hollywood. They had stuff like that over there. All right, now let's talk about Nas. He's coming back with Lost Tapes 3 and 4, and he actually had a listening party at Masterpail's offices with Static Selector on Tuesday night,

and here's what he had to say. You know, put out the first Lost Tapes 17 years ago. Since then, you can imagine, I piled up a lot of songs since then, so I got enough for Lost Tapes 2 now, and then Lost Tapes 3, 3 and Lost Tapes 4. The next one won't be 17 years. The next one, each one sounds different. I mean, Nas got a lot of unreleased music,

so I'm glad to hear a lot of it. I'm here for that because... Well, Lost Tapes comes out tomorrow. Yeah, Nas is one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time, but I enjoy older Nas music than I have the newer stuff, so I'm very intrigued about hearing Lost Tapes 3 and 4 because it's old stuff.

You know what I mean? All right. So as far as Lost Tapes 2, that features production from Pharrell, Swiss Beats, Pete Rock, Alchemist, and Kanye West. All right. Now, Blueface, since we're talking about new music, has previewed a song that he has

where he's talking about kicking his mother and sister out of his house. If you guys recall what happened, he got into an talking about kicking his mother and sister out of his house. If you guys recall what happened, he got into an altercation with his mom and sister. It's two different sides to the story, but basically it involved his two girlfriends and some type of disrespect. Here's a little preview

for you. If I was his mom and sister and I could understand him, that would probably hurt my feelings. And if I could understand what he just said, I would probably have

an opinion on it. Well, he said, my mom and my sis had to kick my own blood out. They must have forgot I was a creep. Wow. A house divided can't stand,

though. If your parents are bloods and your sisters are bloods and you're a creep, that's not going to work. Well, it has nothing to do with the gang stuff. I think he just kicked them

out for some other stuff, but I guess we'll find out. Didn't he say blood? Oh, he meant blood, like blood, like family. Exactly. Oh alright. But in the meantime

Blueface is going strong with his two girlfriends they actually just got giant matching tattoos. Oh nice. If you're interested in that. You have two girlfriends? Yes.

You don't know the story? That's why he kicked his mom and his sister out. He had his two girls at the crib. Really? Yes. He said mom and sis

you gotta go. I got my girls here. Excuse me I'm not the one with all these youngins doing. Alright. Drop on the clues bar for Blueface for having two girlfriends. He kicked his mom and his sister out. Hey, you got to go. I got my girls here. Well, excuse me. I'm not the one with all these youngins doing. All right? Drop one of Clues Bob's blue face for having two girlfriends.

We kicked his mom and his sister out. Hey, man, I got two girlfriends. All right? I'm sorry, mom. Come on now. You got to understand. I got two mouths to feed, mom. All right.

Now, Katy Perry, she's talking about how she and Taylor Swift ended their longstanding beef. You guys remember they had been feuding for quite some time. I had no clue. You were lying. You didn't know that they didn't like each other? You don't remember that? Katy Perry and Tyler Swift.

And Tyler the Creator. Oh, my God. Tyler Perry and Tyler Swift don't like each other. Okay. Well, it all started when, according to Taylor Swift, Katy Perry tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. That's what Taylor Swift had told Rolling Stone back in 2014. And then remember the song Bad Blood?

And they said that song was about Katy Perry? Oh, now we got bad blood. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know this, but don't know Blueface and his beef? Well, yeah. Oh, my God. Well, anyway, here's what Katy Perry had to say about how they ended their beef.

I sent her a literal olive branch and a note apologizing for my part in all of it when she started her reputation tour. But I started seeing her around the Oscar parties when she was accompanying her boyfriend. And I just went up to her and I was like, hey, you know, it's been a long time and I think we've grown up a little bit. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that I'm really here for you and that I love you. And, you know, I hope that we can be friends in the future. See, sometimes you just got to understand the bigger picture and look at things from other people's points of view as well. Yeah, both of them want to be cool now that their music ain't selling like it used to.

Yeah, let's say it was like the highest paid celebrity this year. Yeah, but her music still ain't moving like that. That's a pretty good year. Number one on that list. Well, okay. Her tour is selling out. Well, Katie wants to be friends with her. Okay.

Because Katie music ain't popping like that at all anymore. So Katie wants to be friends with Taylor again. I bet you if Katie was still having a thriving career, she wouldn't want to make up.

And, yeah, it's a really, really good show. You know what? Today is my best friend from high school, Jameel. It's her birthday. She's the one, me and her both took our moms to Bermuda for Mother's Day together. So that was a nice idea because then our moms could hang out while we were doing our own thing too. Cool. But happy birthday to Jameel.

She just was saying she wanted to go see Dave Chappelle. You should go buy her tickets. How much are the tickets? I got a friends and family discount, but they were still a little pricey. You know what I'm saying? Her boyfriend should take her. Like I said, it's Broadway.

By the way, it's Broadway. So if you can afford to go, go. You'll thoroughly enjoy it. Is it packed? Sold out? It's sold out. And you know, if you're easily offended, stay home. Okay.

All right? Did you have to lock your phone up in a bag? Well, I mean, you know, not me, but yeah, everybody else did. All right? I didn't do it last time either. I definitely had my phone with me. You just have to hide it. You might have to lock your phone up.

Follow the rules, goddammit. Babe, follow the rules. Follow the goddamn rules, all right? Okay. I'm not here for this. I'm not locked, babe. Put your phone. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey. They said me. She got a phone on her. All right? That's right. Kick her out, bitch. Kick her out. Kick her out.

She got a phone. Evie, stop. You know what that feels like. I know. I know. I did get kicked out. Okay, relax. That's it, y'all.

All right. But I like that, though. I did get kicked out. Okay, relax. All right. But I like that, though. I love going to a comedy show, and they make you lock your phone up because that makes Well, why didn't you lock your phone up? Because I'm not going to record, but that makes the person on stage feel safe. Right. And when they feel safe, they just loose with it. You know what I'm saying?
