You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts

that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't believe you guys are the best. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches! Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yoled. What's wrong with my mic? I don't know either. Yes, it sounds like you're like 50 feet away. It's a little muffled. All right. Well, happy late anniversary, DJ Envy. Oh, thank you, man.

I had a wonderful day yesterday with the wife. You know, we absolutely positively did nothing, which was the best thing. Shout out to Matt, the mortgage guy, who's been on the show a couple of times talking about mortgage. He actually paid for a dinner last night. Yeah, no, no. I wish he paid for a mortgage, but he actually paid for dinner last night. So we got a restaurant out here in Jersey. It's called Buka Seafood and they delivered everything. They had shrimp, they had steak, rice, so many different vegetables. It was very, very good, very thoughtful.

So I was actually going to go get some soul food, but that came right before, so I didn't have to go get any food. So that was very, very nice. Me and the wife, we ate. We watched some of our favorite TV shows, which are anything but home improvement and people finding homes, buying homes, doing stuff for cheap. So we watched that all night long. And then last night,

you know, we shot for maybe number six, maybe seven and eight, maybe triplets. I don't know. We had a great night. We had a great night. That is a very thoughtful present when you give people right now like a meal or gift cards. You know, for Mother's Day, I sent a bunch of my friends mothers gift cards so that they could get Uber Eats or they could get DoorDash, depending on what's more popular where you live.

That's a really nice present just to put that out there for people, because I know people are celebrating birthdays and things like that. If you can give somebody a gift card to just order food and be like, dinner's on me. That's a nice thing to do. Absolutely. And what I also did was, you know, if you follow me, my wife, she loves bags. Most women do. Bags and shoes. So what I did was I got her favorite bag and we drew it out.

And I made the kids color one and I colored the other. And we put it in a box and we gave it to her. So she loved that too. You know what I did yesterday? I was. What's that? Well, first of all, and I know you already told everybody, Envy, that we won a Gracie Award for lip service. Yes. Even though it wasn't supposed to be, that information wasn't supposed to be out yet.

So they did just make the announcement yesterday. You know what's funny? I seen that yesterday and I was like, did I congratulate her already? I couldn't remember. I was like, damn, you know. And that information was embargoed. I knew about it, but we weren't supposed to announce it. But I was like, okay.

But yeah, so yesterday they made the announcement. Angie Martinez won one, Nacy Nash won, Gayle King. And the Gracie Awards are by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation. So they celebrate an honor program and create it for women. It's a big deal. So we were excited about that. So I had a drink yesterday. And what I realized is that I haven't been drinking that much.

So you got tipsy fast. Yes, from one drink. So, yes. So that's what I did yesterday. And I was like, woo, this is too much. And then I watched Insidious. I don't know if you ever saw that movie. No, I haven't.

But I was like, let me watch a horror movie. Because, you know, I love horror movies. So I watched Insidious. And that was my night. And then I was scared to go to bed. Yeah. You know, when Guy and I did that Jamaican party, we were supposed to be in Jamaica for our flyaway and we did our own party. We, you know, we had Jamaican everything. We, you know, Jamaican backgrounds, we had pools, drinks. I had a little drink that day and I was twisted. I was like, how am I so twisted so fast? But I really don't drink. I normally only drink if I go out or if I'm around people.

I don't like sit at home by myself and have a drink. So since we haven't been going anywhere, I've been pretty sober. Right. Well, let's get the show cracking. It is Mental Health Awareness Month. And Dr. Jess will be checking in. Dr. Jess will be talking about everything mental health, how to help you if, how to help you if you're feeling anxiety, if you're feeling depressed. She'll help you and guide us through all of that.

And then, of course, ask you if you need relationship advice, any type of advice. You can get on the phone all morning long and she will help you with your problems. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about? Yes. Let's talk about schools reopening.

Donald Trump and Dr. Fauci have two different views All right, we'll get into that next Keep it locked, it's The Breakfast Club Good morning My name is DJ Envy Angelique Charlamagne Tha Guy We are The Breakfast Club I just want to tell you

My son just scared the ish out of me I walked in the kitchen right fast And he's in the family room sleeping And I'm like, what the hell? That happened in the movie Insidious too There's a spider in his room And a spider crawled on him like a day ago, and he will not go back in his room.

Now, this kid is damn near 5'10", 130 pounds, lifts weights every day, fully buffed, runs every day, but is scared of a little spider. He will not go back in his room. Arachnophobia is real. You never know. That is crazy. He is sleeping. I'm like, bro, you don't want to go back in your room?

He's like, nope. You be diesel as hell, get bit by the wrong spider, it's still a rat. Don't matter. You're know. He is sleeping. I'm like, bro, you don't want to go back in the room? He's like, nope. You be diesel as hell, get bit by the wrong spider, it's still a rap. Don't matter. You right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Donald Trump. Now, he didn't like some of the comments that Dr. Fauci made where he discussed opening up too quickly.

Just as a refresher, here's what Dr. Fauci said. My concern is that if states or cities or regions disregard to a greater or lesser degree the checkpoints that we put in our guidelines, there is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control, which in fact paradoxically will set you back, not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided, but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery. Now, Dr. Fauci also suggested that schools open cautiously in some places, not even in the fall. And when asked about the risk and the benefits of that, he said it's obviously very difficult. But he said, I don't have a good explanation or solution for the problem of what happens when you close schools.

And it triggers a cascade of events. Now, Donald Trump reacted to that and actually disagreed with Dr. Fauci. Look, he wants to play all sides of the equation. But no, we're opening our country. People want it open. The schools are going to be open. And Purdue is opening and others are opening. And they're all announcing it. These are

young people. These are students, young students. They're in great shape. They're in great shape. Now, will you have an incident to one out of a million, one out of 500, that will something happen perhaps, but you know, you can be driving to school and some bad things can happen too. So

no, we're going to open our country. They're in the country, guys. I've told y'all this a million times. Yeah, I think they have to. They are. The economy is an omelet. We're the eggs. They have no problem breaking a few eggs to get the economy back on track.

Which I think is crazy because they got the money to hold people down and make sure everybody's okay so this opens back up and save a lot of lives. But instead, they're like, nah, we're going to open this up. And pretty much if you die, you die. That's how they're looking at it. That's it. But what they do have to figure out with the kids learning, though, for younger kids, I think the issue is how do we make sure?

And I know they've been doing virtual classes. There's been some issues with that also. They just have to figure out how to adjust to that. I mean, yeah, you can. Until there's a vaccine or some type of treatment, like, yes, people are going to get sick when they get back out there. And Dr. Fauci does have to stop playing both sides, though, because he seems to, like, really speak truth to power in one second and Trump can lean on him a little and then he'll walk it back. Because I'm like, okay, should we open up cautiously or should we stay on lockdown? Which one is it? He's been going back

and forth with that the past couple of weeks. Right. And they are also saying that coronavirus could just be around and may never go away, according to the World Health Organization. They said it might just join the mix of different viruses that kill people around the world every year. And it might just become another virus in the community. That's fine.

That's fine if we have a vaccine, though. That's it. It'll be like the flu. A lot of people die from the flu, but at least it can be controlled a little bit. We just need to be able to control it because right now there's no vaccine, there's no cure. There's nothing that can help us.

Well, Dr. Mike Ryan, who is the executive director for the World Health Organization, said HIV hasn't gone away, and he said, I'm not comparing the two diseases, but I think it's important that we're realistic. I mean, totally different with HIV. It's totally different. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease.

You use needles. I guess, you know, a little easier to contain, I would think. Right. Yes. A lot easier. And something that you could just, something that we don't even know how we catch, to be honest with you. Mm-mm.

Easily transmittable. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are open. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 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. Why can't I create my own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. 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. And we're losing daylight fast.

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 Podcast to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out.

Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? This is Anthony from Thomas and Georgia. What's up? Anthony, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Man, I was just calling to say, man, like, you know, I disagree with what y'all are saying, man. You know, I think it is time that we, you know, get the economy back up and moving. You know, I think that we don't, you know, the money that they're taking out

to give to us and stimulus checks and all these things, I feel like, you know, that's money that we're going to have to pay back. So it's not really... That's not true.

Stop spreading that lie. That's not true. You do not have to pay stimulus money back. That's not true. That's absolutely positively not true. I'm talking about

the national debt, though. You know what I'm saying? That's not true. That's absolutely, probably not true. I'm talking about in the national debt, though. You know what I'm saying? That's not true. How is it not true? Why would we have to pay it back in the national debt? Who told you that? Where'd you get that from? No, he's saying the national debt has to be paid back. That's what I'm saying. What national debt? We have to open the economy. What would be the point? Let me ask you a question. Would you prefer

national debt or your mother and father dying? I mean, I agree. Okay, so you can't agree on both sides. So it's either the national debt or your mother and father dying? I mean, I agree. Okay, so you can't agree on both sides. So it's either the national debt or your mother and father die, your grandparents die, or your friends die. People are dying.

So if we have to owe some money, because we already have a national debt, who cares about money? People are more concerned about money than lives. All this money means nothing. That car that you're driving, that clothes, that jewelry mean nothing if I can't hug my mother, my father, or even hug my kids.

People are caring about money because that's why we need to open the economy, because people need to be back to work. People need to be able to make money. I mean, you know, these government states, you see how slow the government is moving. You see how long it takes for them to get everybody a stimulus check of $1,200. People aren't working right now. They need money. I totally understand.

The economy is opening back up. And once again, the economy is an omelet. People are the eggs. A few eggs are going to get broken. People are the economy. No, the people are the eggs. No, the economy is the omelet. You're an egg. Then let me ask you a question, brother. Who dies? Who dies more?

What community dies more from this? I mean, either way, economically or through the virus, the poor communities are going to get hurt the most. Right. Black and brown communities are going to get hurt the most. I just think that there's no one-size-fits-all answer for this because there are some people who want the economy to open back up

because they are suffering financially. They're suffering in different ways. And there's people who are more comfortable, that are fine with the economy being closed., and there's people who's more comfortable that are fine with the economy being closed, and then there's people who are okay to make sacrifices. It just depends. Everybody's in a different situation, so there's nothing you can do that everybody will be pleased about.

I ain't gonna front. I want the, like, I want the economy to open back up, but not if it has to do with losing my parents or with this new virus that's killing kids. It may not be your parents, but it's going to be somebody's parents. Somebody's parents, somebody's kids. It's going to be somebody, period.

That's why when you talk about the economy not being the egg, no, the people are the eggs. The economy is the omelet. You're right. Eggs make the omelet. And some eggs are going to get broken to make this goddamn omelet. And you know what? I don't want it to be my eggs. How about that you know what? I don't want it to be my eggs.

How about that? Me neither. I don't want it to be nobody's eggs. Nobody's eggs, no. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is One-Legged Willie from Asheville, North Carolina. One-Legged Willie. I'm going to assume you got one leg. Yeah. Okay. Great assumption, Charlamagne.

What happened? What's my name? Bear hunting, buddy. Bear hunting? Did a bear eat you? Got caught in a bear trap? Got caught in a bear trap? Yeah. Yeah.

You're right. Charlotte Main, that name. Yeah, you're right. Ball head guy. Yes, sir. Well, not bald right now, but I want to be. So you were walking and you got caught in a bear trap? I did.

Yes, sir. Wow. Yeah, sir. Wow. Yeah, but my thing was to pull Jacquees to the congregation because I heard he wants to keep wet smoke, and he don't want that. Okay, so you must have just gotten the Internet in your area because that story is at least a year old, maybe two. I don't remember. It seems longer.

Well, you're right. And the reason why I'm bringing it up is because they're battling right now, right? And nobody brought that up. And I'll tell you what, Keith Sweat was definitely smoking. So anyone who won't smoke... They're not battling.

No, he said, meaning the artists are battling right now. He said nobody brought that up. Nobody brought that up for a reason, sir. Jaquese versus Keith Sweat. Keith Sweat, Jaquese. Keith Sweat will wash Jaquese. Keith Sweat will wipe his ass with Jaquese the way a bell wipe his ass at your foot.

Goodness gracious. Exactly. I'm with you on that. Now, also, I want white people to come to the congregation because they thought it would be good to put collard greens on the sub. And I thought it would be, too. And I told him, that's not soul food. Where'd that happen? What restaurant in North Carolina has collard greens sub sandwiches?

I think Quiz knows, but I kind of think there's some new additions. Let me look this up. Yeah, listen, it's nothing to cry for. Please don't go try it. White people, please stop putting collard greens on the sub, please. All right, One-Legged Willie. Love you, One-Legged Willie. He just wanted to get it off his chest.

That's the true definition. One-legged Willie will bust your ass at hopscotch. Stupid. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? It's Dre. Dre, what up? Get it off your chest, bro.

Well, how y'all doing this morning, man? I just want to say God bless y'all. Peace, King. Thank you, brother. And I want to say, man, stop giving the police a reason to kill us as young black men and as black men in general. And I want to say, like, basically, when you see the horse, don't go smack it on the butt so it can kick you in the face. Who's smacking horses on the ass? I'm just saying as a metaphor.

Don't go kick the gate in the behind and then it's better not to bite you. Well, you know, a lot of times people are minding their business, not doing anything wrong, sometimes even in their own home. Everything is wrong. There's no right way with that. But I'm just saying, as a black man, like, don't go antagonizing because they're just giving them what

they want. I haven't seen anybody and Breonna Taylor didn't antagonize nobody. She got killed by police. That's crazy. And I know exactly what you're by police. That's crazy. And I know exactly what you're talking about. That's what happened the other day. It kind of brought me to tears a little bit because that's totally wrong.

Absolutely. But what I'm saying is, dude, from where I'm from, running from the police, they shot him down because of some shit he was doing around the corner. All they wanted him to do was stop, but he decided to run. They gave him no right to do what they did to him. Yeah, but you don't shoot a man just because he's running away. You don't. You don't. But just don't stop and don't

just stop giving them a reason to hurt him. Well, sometimes people run because they are scared of the cops. Your first instinct might be, let me just get out of here. Because you don't want to get shot. I grew up in a very bad neighborhood. The police say stop. You put your hands up and you stop. So basically, you want

people to just stop being black? What you said, stop being black? Yeah, because you know that's why these people are getting killed, right? I know you've seen them interact with white people differently than they do black people. Yes, you're right. Like the kid in the back

who was in the high-speed chase. What'd he say? They ain't gonna catch me this easy, ma. Okay, I can understand what you're saying, but that still shouldn't be a death sentence to my brother. That's not for death. What I'm saying is don't antagonize it.

Okay. I think y'all just trying to get my blood pressure up this morning. Okay. Let's keep it moving. Thank you so much. You have a great day. Y'all know I ain't have my green tea yet. You know what I'm saying?

I think y'all just calling up here to get on my nerves. Pick up a call. Somebody going to tell me about 5G. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk about this million-dollar donation.

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report.

The Breakfast Club. Robert Kraft, who owns the Patriots, actually donated the Super Bowl ring from 2017. And that is for Michael Rubin's All In Challenge. A lot of celebrities have donated items, and the initiative has raised more than $41 million so far. And that particular item has already hit over $1 million in bidding. Wow. I wonder why people give away stuff like that. Like, that seems like stuff that really, really, really, really means something to them.

A Super Bowl ring? Well, it's a donation, though, for a good cause. And he has a couple of them. He's an owner. He, really, really, really means something to them. A Super Bowl ring? Well, he has to donate to them for a good cause. And he has a couple of them. He's an owner. He has a couple of them. And remember this. He can always make another one. He is the owner.

Yes, he can. Make another one? Why not? Yeah, make another ring. He can make another ring. I guess. Or maybe he's selling a duplicate. Who knows?

That's true. I just feel like that's so sentimental. That's something that really, really means something. That's a Super Bowl ring. You can't. You don't just get those every day. It's for a good cause, and they do. They got those like that's so sentimental. That's something that really, really means something. That's a Super Bowl ring. You can't, you don't just get those every day. It's for a good cause and they do. They got those like damn near every day.

And then Robert Kraft and Michael Rubin are really good friends. So I'm sure he knew it would be helpful for that. And, you know, it's a great, it's a great thing though. It's over a million dollars. I think that's the most for an item so far, right? Because we saw the $800,000 for the Tom Brady that somebody paid $800,000 for. So now that's over a million. All right, now Kevin Hart,

he's talking about this whole coronavirus and how he's on edge. And he told a story about a fan that wanted to take a picture with him. Here's what he said. I go to the gas station. I get out the pump gas. People pull up.

They saw me. They jump out. Oh my God, Kevin Hart, let us get a picture. I jump back, whoa! I said, y'all got no mask on, no gloves, no nothing? I don't know what went down in my mind, but in my mind, this was the movie Contagion. That's the f***ing mindset that this craziness has put me in. He's absolutely right. If you're going to take a picture, you're going to have to do a selfie from six feet away,

sir or ma'am. Yeah, now's not the time to really be trying to like take pictures with people and do things like that. People still do. You just got to wear your mask. People understand. A couple people asked me to take a picture when I was at a grocery shop the other day and everybody wore their mask. They understood. How do we know it was you?

When I went grocery shopping, I made them stand six feet away. And that's a great question too. I'll be trying to figure out how they know it's me and a mask as well. I don't understand that. I'm like, I can't stick up no stores if things ever get bad. Alright, in addition to that, Kevin Hart is talking about what's going to happen

at casinos in the future. They have built glass cubbies around each seat. So you sit at your seat and plexiglass around you and the same for the next person. All right. That'll be interesting. Part of the fun of gambling, too, is being social at the table. Yeah. Talking and talking-ish and drinking and everybody cheering each other on.

That's going to be a little odd, a little difficult, but I'm not a big gambler anyway, so. I love to be at that blackjack table and talking to other people and joking around. And all right, I got you. All right, I took one for the team. It's fun. I've seen designs like that for restaurants as well,

the glass cubicles. I've seen that for restaurants and gyms, the designs for that. Yeah. All right, now the Michael Jackson musical MJ as well. The glass cubicles. I've seen that for restaurants and gyms. The designs for that. Alright, now the Michael Jackson musical MJ has been moved to spring 2021. So they were supposed to start previews and all of that soon, but now they're going to

start previews next March. It's an eight month postponement because of coronavirus. Those new dates were just announced yesterday. So that is going to start March 8th, 2021. I'm definitely going to see that. You know, I love a Broadway play. So Broadway, as you all know, we talked about this, it's shut down. No plays until September at this point. All right. And Netflix has put out the trailer for the Jeffrey Epstein docuseries. It's called

Filthy. It's a four part series about Jeffrey Epstein and how he was a pedophile and all the women who fell victim to his sex trafficking ring. There's stories from the survivors, and all of that here is the trailer. The disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is dead. He was stunningly rich. He had a $20 million house, his own private island in the Caribbean.

He has a nickname, the Pedophile Island. In 2005, the Palm Beach Police Department received reports of young women going to and from his residence. There was an ever-evolving door of girls. Who else was underage? All of them. And there was girls by other girls, too. This is the tip of a much bigger iceberg. Take them down. Take everybody down.

You know, I thought to myself, man, they made that movie fast. He just died. But when you think about it, if you know you're going to kill somebody,

you can shop the studios. They were shopping this before they killed him. I mean, before he killed himself. But they definitely were shopping this before he died.

This is quick. Or, you know, they might have started filming a docuseries even while he was alive. And then he ended up... The trailer starts off, he's dead. I know, but I'm saying they could have did that later. It could have been them interviewing people over a period of time, even before that happened.

And it's a series of interviews. So I could see this having happened like pretty quickly. Either way, when you know you're going to kill somebody, that's a great way to shop it. Okay, like look, we got this great documentary about this Larry Epstein guy. He's like a world-class, you know, pedophile sex trafficker, whatever the hell

his name is. He's a world-class pedophile sex trafficker, and we're going to kill him and make it look like he killed himself. Who wouldn't buy that? I would. Alright, and there's also going to be a netflix uh film that's going to be on the usa gymnastics sexual abuse scandal so that's going to be coming too that's the former team dr larry nassar and the allegations against him and the failures of usa gymnastics to protect their athletes also it's called athlete a and that will be on Netflix on June 24th. If there's drama, if there's a traumatic real-life story out there,

it will turn into a scripted event, won't it? Or a documentary or something. Well, I think it affected so many different people, and how could something like this happen? So I think it's a good way for people to understand all the details of the investigation. And a lot of times real life... Yeah, I just don't like people profiting off other people's trauma.

I really don't. It's like, Jesus Christ. There's a lot of other things that they could be putting in production. Well, that's a really powerful story. And do the victims get money from this? That's all I be caring about. I'm like, do the victims get money from this when they do this?

But I feel like they're going to have the victims' faces all the time. Well, the documentary will center on Athlete A, who was the first gymnast to report Larry Nassar's abuse to USA Gymnastics. And that's Maggie Nichols. She's a former member of the national team and she went on to have a great career at the University of Oklahoma. In 2018,

she came forward and identified herself as Athlete A. And after that, hundreds of fellow survivors came forward so it was a lot of fallout you gotta tell my story I gotta relive this pain if Maggie's getting a check cool

if Maggie's an executive producer if she got equity in it great other than that you're just profiting off people's trauma well yeah but these are important stories though to be told as well so I don't know what the logistics are of how they worked it out behind the scenes, but I do believe it's an important story and I'll definitely be watching. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? We're going to give you some details on what's going on in different cities. As you know, everybody has a different city by city, state by state on what's happening with coronavirus on opening up and, you know, things opening and shutting back down. So we'll tell you what they're doing as far as a stay at home order in different places. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket 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.

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.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get into some front page news. Where we start with? All right, well, let's start with Wyoming. They're allowing restaurants, bars, and theaters to open on Friday.

So that's tomorrow under a new order that was signed by their governor. They said we're trying to work our way safely to as normal conditions as we can get. Tables will be limited to six people, but unlike most states with similar regulations, people from different households will be allowed to sit at the same table. Buffet service is not allowed

and tables must be separated by at least six feet. In Maryland, the governor is saying that he's working with DC.C. and Virginia officials on the next stages, on the next steps for their state. And they said the areas surrounding D.C. are hotspots for COVID-19. They said 70 percent of our infection rates are in four counties. I think 50 percent of it is in the two counties surrounding Washington. So they said he spoke with both leaders on Friday and took their input into consideration as they're trying to figure out what they're going to do as far as stage one reopening guidelines.

So we should know about that soon. Now on May 18th. You still don't have to go out, okay, just because things are opening up, right? I don't think the government in these states understands how fear works. Y'all have no precautions and nothing in place to make your people feel safe. So why would they go out? Well, you know what the thing is?

A lot of people can defer their mortgage for three months, defer their car notes for three months, but then what happens after that? That's why a lot of people are like, I have to go out. I can defer it for three months, but then what happens on that four month? I gotta pay. You know, what happens on that four month for my car note? What happens on that four month for a lot of my bills? I have to pay. So if they don't stretch that out,

people have to go out. Well, in D.C., they extended their stay at home order through June 8th. And Virginia is going to do a partial reopening starting tomorrow with Northern Virginia maintaining firmer restrictions. On May 18th, 11 DMV centers will reopen on an appointment only basis that select services like getting a license, vehicle registration, things like that. Mississippi, they're going to end suspension of evictions on June 1st. So they will end their temporary suspension on evictions. And they said we have to recognize housing doesn't just happen and it doesn't grow on trees. We cannot suspend evictions forever.

So the problem with that is, is if people can't work and now you just want them to get back to work, I'm going to get evicted. You know why? Because three months I haven't paid, I'm just getting back in the workforce. How am I going to pay? How am I going to make that back up? You kick me out in the streets and then where do I go from there? You're right, but when I say you don't have to go out, work is one thing.

That's essential. I'm talking about the restaurants and movie theaters that Angel E. was talking about. A lot of these people work there though. A lot about the restaurants and movie theaters that Angel E. first was talking about. A lot of these people work there though. A lot of people work at movie theaters. If you work there, I totally understand. I'm talking about people who just want to go out there for recreational purpose. You don't have to go to the restaurants. You don't have to go to the movies. I totally understand. If I work at a restaurant and you don't go, I don't make money.

That's the whole point. But some people will go. But that's the whole point of why this opening up the economy so quick is probably not going to work. Because what if people don't come out to support the economy? The economy is still going to go to, I started to say that. Well, I think with restaurants in particular, they are still doing social distancing and trying to figure out ways to make it safer for you to be able to go to a restaurant. So, all right. California has 10 counties moving into stage two of reopening, according to the governor there.

So seven counties will be moving into the next stage of reopening businesses. Right now there's 58 total counties in that state. So 10 of those will be moving into stage two. Didn't Cali just order another stay at home lockdown for three months? LA, LA, Los Angeles County. Oh, just L.A., okay. All right, the mayor of Detroit is saying that COVID-19 numbers are dropping the fastest in the country.

So they said that's because a lot of the residents are wearing masks, a lot of them are social distancing. They said the state will expand testing starting today. So Detroit will be able to test 2,000 residents a day with a prescription. They've also made testing available without a prescription to anyone over the age of 60. And so according to the mayor there, they are having the numbers dropping faster than anywhere else in the U.S. In Florida, the governor is saying that all professional sports are welcome for practicing and for playing so

they are welcoming you to come there in iowa they're lifting restrictions in all 99 counties they said there we can and must reopen our economy we can restart a stable safe and in a stable safe and responsible way and we can slow the spread protect the health of iowans and their livelihood and protect the health care system in the long run. So restaurants, fitness centers, retail stores, malls, they will be allowed to reopen. They should just finish the NBA season in Florida. Let all the teams just go down there. You know what I'm saying?

Stay down there for the next two or three months, however long it takes. Quarantine in Florida and just, you know, finish the NBA season there. All right. And one thing you may have noticed is that prices in the supermarket are soaring. So a lot of things are getting more expensive. You know, for breakfast, egg prices went up 16.1% last month. And cereal went up, milk, bread, juice, everything. So just keep in mind when you go to the supermarket, meat prices went up 3.3%. Chicken went up 5.8%.

Fish, 4.2%. Paper towel. I didn't know paper towel was so expensive. Paper towel is expensive. They know y'all got that extra $1,200. Goodness gracious. Y'all got that extra $1,200 in your pocket. They know.

All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, it's Mental Health Awareness Month. And Dr. Jess will be checking in. We're going to kick it with Dr. Jess, see how we can deal with a lot of anxiety, depression, and more. So don't move. Dr. Jess, when we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We had a special guest on the line, Dr. Jess. Yes, indeed. Good morning, Dr. Jess.

Good morning. Congratulations on the new baby. You in law? Thank you. And happy Mother's Day. It was your first Mother's Day, so I know that was amazing. It was. We were inside it was it was nice how have you been maintaining your mental health you know with a new baby and this pandemic like what have you been doing to stay stay relatively sane oh yeah well the biggest thing i do is i stay connected with my loved ones i think one of the things that really is dangerous for people is loneliness, you know? And so even if you're surrounded by people, I know some people are, are, um,

staying at home, you know, with a lot of people that, you know, their extended family, but if you feel lonely, that can lead to a lot of problems with not only your physical health, but your mental health. I I've been staying connected. I do a lot of video calls with like like, my family, show the baby off. We take a few walks. We wear the mask. We cover the baby up in that little, you know, rain covering for the stroller.

So we try to get some sunlight, too. Y'all relationship with y'all child going to be crazy, though, because, like, y'all going to be so close because both of y'all are together with the baby all the time in the first few months. That's actually going to be a blessing. I receive that. Thank you. My worry is if we don't get out of this soon, he's going to be a little weird kid not able to deal with anybody. But he's still a baby now.

What was it like giving birth during this time, too? Because I know some people were scared about it. I've read a lot of articles about women who, you know, nine months pregnant and they're a little concerned. So what was that process like for you? Me and my husband-in-law, we actually had decided to do a home birth way before the pandemic. Wow. Yeah. So part of it was just because we know the rates of, you know, the black maternal death rates are very high in New York City, you know, a lot higher than across the country.

And I knew from my experience in medicine that I did not want to be silenced in the hospital. I was worried about, you know, just not really having my experience go the way I wanted it to. So we went that route and it ended up being a very peaceful experience. You know, I had a midwife, my doula was there. The law was amazing. And we just literally, as soon as the baby was born, you know, a few hours, they check you, do all of these other things.

They leave and it was kind of neat. They just like turn the light off and let themselves out of your house. And everybody just goes home and you're there. Wow. So there's no visiting hours. There there's no you can't watch the baby now this is just strictly wow that's an amazing that's amazing it was pretty amazing it was it was so i i definitely encourage people you know home birth maybe isn't for everyone but during this time it's going to be really important for people to to find some sort of support that's going to help them even if you're you know if you're in the hospital,

and some hospitals aren't letting parents stay long, you just want to kind of prepare yourself mentally for what that will look like. But all births are good births. You know, I was going to ask, well, congratulations again, and you have a new baby, but for some parents out there that have kids that are a little older, what would you advise to them for their mental health? I mean, because it has to be difficult to see in their, to not being able to see their friends, and then you

don't want them online all day long. You don't want them watching TV all day long, and you're, you know, concerned constantly about how are they thinking mentally, you know? Right. So, first thing that's going to be important for everyone is to maintain, maintain a routine as much as possible, right? I think we all can fall into the slump of just staying in your pajamas all day, sleeping until whenever, staying up until whenever, letting the TV put you to sleep. Really try to avoid that. And then I think for parents,

it's going to be important to try to create an environment where they can talk about how they feel. I know I'm always saying that, talk about how you feel, talk about how you feel, but that's going to be so important. Family time is going to be important. It's a big opportunity for people always saying that. Talk about how you feel. Talk about how you feel. But that's going to be so important. You know, family time is going to be important. It's a big opportunity for people to do that. If you're having dinner, have dinner all together. Don't do that stuff in front of the TV.

Sit down, you know, at a table. You know, if you have one that you can all gather around, do that. And just invite your children to talk about how they're doing. You know, and don't tell them that what they're feeling isn't normal. Don't tell them, oh, they should get over that. Really encourage them to talk about how they feel and just normalize it. Because let's be honest, we don't really know how long this is going to last. And I think if you're honest about that with your children and just keep creating that space,

they can at least feel safe in knowing that you hear them and that you're taking care of them. Dr. Jess, what advice do you have for people who are experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety for financial purposes? People have been furloughed. They've been laid off from work. They don't know how they're going to pay their bills. They've been just deferring payments. And then at some point, they are going to have to make those payments.

But maybe they don't know what type of job they'll have. What would you say as far as that? Yeah, I mean, that's going to be the really tough reality. From large-scale disasters, we know that there typically is an increase in the number of cases of anxiety, depression, PTSD, for example, with 9-11. So the reality is a lot of people are going to probably come out of this with some signs or symptoms of anxiety and maybe even anxiety disorder. So it's very likely that that's what the person is going to experience. So my advice is to try to do your best to cope with it.

You know, the sad reality is a lot of Americans are unemployed right now. We're seeing the highest rates that we've seen in decades. And the reality is a lot of people will not be able to make payments. So try to work with your support system to come up with a way to figure out which bills are going to be most important. A lot of companies are giving 90 days between bills, so try to figure out who's doing that. Really try to push through what you're feeling in terms of figuring out a plan.

And then coping with anxiety is going to be simple things like, you know, trying to make sure that you're getting some exercise in, in the space that you're in, in your home, exercise, yoga, doing some deep breathing, talking about what you're feeling, don't hold it in. But this is a really tough time. And I expect people to really have a hard time. So you expect to see a rise in like just mental illness period after the coronavirus? Well, during the coronavirus and after? Absolutely. So experts are saying that after we or even just during this or once we get through COVID-19, that we probably will see increases in anxiety, depression, loneliness,

because people are, you know, isolating alone. And even, you know know some people may we may see an increase in things like domestic violence child abuse because children are home instead of at school um and substance use too people are using substances to cope alcohol marijuana you know they're using that a lot to try to get through this time but that can also lead to problems down the road and even something called death by despair, you know, suicide rates are going up in terms of like, we're seeing physicians do that more now because of all the stress that they're under. And even longer term risk, if somebody's drinking alcohol every single day to try to get through, liver damage down the road can actually

be contributing to this death by despair that we're also seeing. All right, we have more with Dr. Jess when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Howdy, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's Mental Health Awareness Month,

and we're still kicking it with Dr. Jess Yee. What advice do you have for people who aren't able to properly grieve right now? Also, as you can see with funerals, there's a lot of limitations with that. We're seeing deaths where you can't even go to the hospital and visit somebody before they pass. So what kind of advice would you give for people that are having problems with this whole grieving process and not really being able to experience that right now when they need to? Yeah, that is another really difficult experience for people to have. What I recommend is really, again, leaning on your support system, your loved ones, your family, your friends. Using things like Zoom, obviously you can't hold a service over that, but what you can do is use that community to really just kind of honor that person's memory.

I know someone personally who their loved one passed away, and they still haven't even been able to start the burial or cremation process. So it's very, very devastating now. And I would just encourage people to really try to lean into their supports and be creative, you know. How can people get help? Because, you know, usually it's easy. You can go to your therapist, you can go to your pastor, you can different places you can go. But now I'm stuck at the home and I might be dealing with anxiety. I might be dealing with depression. How do you advise people to get those type of help? Where can they go? Who can they see? Who can they call? Who can they zoom? You know? Absolutely. So, you know, if you already are connected with a mental health professional,

your therapist, your psychiatrist, now's not the time to quit. A lot of providers are doing virtual visits. So, you know, I'm also doing that as well, where you can talk to your provider directly. So keep doing that if you're doing that. If you're looking for help, there are a lot of crisis lines available now that can help people kind of through the immediate. So, you know, whatever town or city you're in, Google search it, look it up on your smartphone. You know what crisis lines are available in your town. Again, this is a time to really be proactive. And there are a lot of resources available because so many people are suffering.

Absolutely. Doc, when we talk about anxiety, right, like, you know, usually when I'm talking to my therapist about anxiety, it's like an irrational fear. Like anxieties are usually irrational fears. But this is a very rational thing to be afraid of, this whole pandemic we're in. So what would you tell your patient if they told you that they were experiencing anxiety about this situation? I would say I'm glad that you're in touch with your emotion because this is something that most people are experiencing. You know, I had someone ask me, they were a husband and wife.

They both drive buses for a city and they were experiencing anxiety. And they asked me, how do I cope with this? And the reality is that anxiety can be useful because if you're a frontline worker and you're looking at coworkers getting really sick, some of them dying, you are feeling what you are describing, Charlemagne, as rational fear. And so use that. Is it time for, you know, I told this couple, is it time for one of you to consider maybe not working if your resources can allow that? Is it time to really kind of advocate for that? Because if both of you end up sick, where does that put you? So that

anxiety can be useful because it can tell you something is going on and I need to figure out how to get through this, whether it's unemployment, figuring out how you're going to pay your bills, figuring out what you're going to tell your children, or figuring out if you still need to figure out how to get through this, whether it's unemployment, figuring out how you're going to pay your bills, figuring out what you're going to tell your children, or figuring out if you still need to go to work. Because black and brown people, we are being forced to kind of be at the front line of this entire pandemic. So to your point, Charlemagne, I would tell my patients, what are you feeling anxious about? Let's figure out if there's a way that you can actually work through this so that you can figure out a plan. And then let's try to figure out how to cope. But first things first, let's figure out what is the real issue here. And you know, you spoke about people, you know, staying home, right? Do you think

people's mental exhaustion from being stuck at home is forcing them to believe it's actually safe to resume everyday life? Absolutely. So denial is a defense mechanism that we have a number of different defense mechanisms that our psyche uses to help to kind of protect it. Right. You can use denial. You can say, oh, this isn't really happening. You can project. You can say, I'm not mad. My husband is the one that's mad. But really, you're the one that's feeling that emotion. So I do think because a lot of people, you know, we've been home for almost two months for a lot of people, you know, and then the media is shifting the story to, look, this town is open, you got people protesting. So I do think that it can cause people to think that this is now sort of over. But if they paid attention to what happened in the Senate yesterday,

a lot of experts are pointing out that while these places, towns are opening, that we are still seeing a rise in the number of cases. And even though the media is not focusing on what's happening with black and brown people, we are still the ones who are being affected. All right. You know, a lot of people, they haven't, they may be not having developmental illness, but how can they just combat general thoughts of negativity? Like when you got those feelings of negativity at a time like this, how do you just combat those just regular everyday feelings of negativity? Like when you got those feelings of negativity at a time like this, how do you just combat those just regular everyday feelings of negativity? Absolutely. So I encourage people to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is really just taking

a small moment of time and focusing as many of your senses on whatever you're doing. So an example I always give people, it can be like picking up a piece of fruit in orange, really taking in that. It sounds really corny, but what that does over time is it helps people to learn how to cope with acceptance, being able to accept that this is a situation that I'm not in control of. And if you're able to sort of develop that type of coping, then it does lead to less anxiety, right? Whereas a lot of people cope by trying to figure out everything. You know, if I can figure out I'm going to meet all of my, you know, bills, or if I can figure out how I'm going to get my children to do all these things, that

makes them feel released. But we're in a time where that's not realistic. So mindfulness is going to help you to learn how to accept, just be in the moment. It is what it is. The other thing is really to reframe the way that you are talking to yourself or talking out loud. So instead of saying that I'm stuck at home, you know, you're safe at home instead of saying, well, you know, oh my God, I'm spending too much time with my family. Like you all encouraged me, look how much time I get to spend with my family. and that's going to help your mind to not really get into that negative cycle um and it it's not easy to do but you can find if you can start to do that really over time you might really be able to shake a lot of those negative thoughts it's really about reframing the way that you're thinking and talking what about the people who've been expressing disappointment in themselves because they feel like they haven't been productive?

Our old standards are no longer what we need to be using. So it's absolutely okay if you don't come out of this pandemic with the New York Times bestseller. It's okay if you do not come out of this pandemic with everything done. You really just need to focus on maintaining. It's a good time to forgive yourself for things and not feel guilty about, I'm watching TV. I look at it like, I never get to watch TV like this, so I'm going to watch this and enjoy it. And one thing I did say, because I started off with this like working out every day and being really healthy.

And then I spent a little bit of time like not doing so well. And then I had to get myself back on track a couple of days ago. Like, what am I doing? But I looked at it like this has never happened for me before. Like, this is unprecedented. I don't know if it will ever happen again. So I am trying to take advantage of some things in my home that I need to handle and that I haven't had a chance to do. So I look at it like that. Absolutely. And that's what I think a lot of people should do. Just, you know, take passive self-compassion. Absolutely. And listen, this is

my last question. Can we talk about the pressure that you and Law put on y'all young king by naming him Brilliant? I figured this was going to come up. You know, I don't think it's pressure. What I think this is is really going to help him to hear every time his name is called what my hope is for every black and brown kid out there is to know that they are brilliant to know that they are destined for something bigger for whatever it is that they you know decide to do in life and then to be honest it really is a challenge because you cannot yell at a kid named brilliant i can't be telling but damn i really gotta think

about it so you know it's something that we thought about and we're really happy with. Well, thank you, Dr. Jess, for checking in. We appreciate you.

Thank you. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Dr. Jess. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk virtual graduations.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Yes, and I've seen a lot of people doing great things for the graduating class of 2020. I just saw Lonnie Love do the graduation speech for Cass Tech in Detroit.

Now they're saying this weekend, Saturday, there will be a Graduate Together America Honors High School Class of 2020, and that's going to be happening, one-hour special at 8 p.m. Eastern. It'll also be broadcast in Spanish on Univision. And there'll be a special message from Univision anchors as well.

So President Barack Obama will deliver the commencement message. And they're also going to have Bad Bunny, who's going to be addressing the students in a special message in Spanish. And there'll be other prominent people as well that will be highlighted this weekend. LeBron James, her, the Jonas Brothers, Yara Shahidi, Lena Waithe. So that should be a really dope one. Pharrell is going to be on there. Olivia Wiles and Daya. And a lot of students, educators and

families can now watch on graduate together 2020.com. I still don't understand how America can, you know, find a way to open up restaurants and socially distance, but can't find a way to have graduations and socially distance. Yeah. The park, the beach, you know, people are still. But your daughter can't walk across the stage. Damn. Yo,

you think it also matters the size of the school? Cause some schools are like 3,000 students in a high school. They can still have gyms where they can spread those kids out and they don't have to be running across the stage together. You give them six feet and it makes it easy. Or you could even do it in a parking lot. Do it in a parking lot. I don't care how

the parents sit in the car. So that way they can get here and see. Some schools are saying that they are going to just delay it and do it later. How about just do it on the beach? Since y'all don't mind how many people will be walking on the beach. Let's open up the beach and do the graduation on the beach.

It's just weird, man. We got an American guy. His priority is all wrong, bro. But my daughter don't even have her cap and gown, so I got to get my cap and gown. I'm going to give it to her, and then we got to do some kind of ceremony. I'm going to do something for her this weekend.

Something. You built like your daughter? Also this weekend, the ESPN docuseries, The Last Dance will be on. I know you guys are excited to see these next two episodes. Very much anticipated. According to reports though, they are saying that Scottie

Pippen is unhappy about The Last Dance and the way that he's portrayed as underpaid, as frustrated. Even though Jordan did say that he's the best teammate he ever had and he wouldn't have had as much success without him. But, you frustrated, even though Jordan did say that he's the best teammate he ever had and he wouldn't have had as much success without him. But, you know, he was frustrated about, it does talk about how he was frustrated

about making far less than his teammates. There were rumors that he might be traded to another team. He chose not to have surgery on his ruptured ankle tendon. And Michael Jordan did call that move selfish. So it's just a lot of things that they are allegedly saying that Scottie Pippen isn't happy about. He did do interviews for the series. He did have the opportunity to talk about his feelings of frustration,

about being underpaid, about being undervalued, and a lot of people came to his defense, including Dennis Rodman, and he said, I wish he didn't give an ish like me about what people say. And so he said that Scottie Pippen does take criticism to heart. How would you feel about the truth to the matter? I mean, if it is true and it sounds like it's true, but I'm sure he's upset because, you know, people only look at one side and I'm sure there's Pippen's side of why he did what he did.

But I mean, who cares? All that's in the doc, though. They talk to doc. Every time they say something about Scottie, they cut to Scottie Pippen to talk to him about it. That's true. That's what I'm saying. Like, how are you mad about the truth?

Like, it's the reality of the situation. He was underpaid. That's a fact. All right. Well, one person, Charles Barkley, is calling out Michael Jordan, and he's saying that his relationship with Michael Jordan will never be mended. Listen to this. That's never going to happen, Dan.

You can let that go. Dan, stop it, brother. We're good. That's never going to happen, Dan. You can let that go. Dan, stop it, brother. We're good. Michael's doing great. Chuck's doing great. But that's never going to happen, brother. I'm too stubborn for that. I get it.

In addition, Charles Barkley says that Michael Jordan was selective about who he went hard on. He knows who to pick on. There's certain guys you can't treat like that. Like, you have to know what guys you can treat badly, and they're going to accept it. You know, screaming at guys all the time, punching guys. Come on, man. There's certain guys that will whoop the hell out of you

if you try doing that. So he has selective prosecution. I mean, Scott Burrell and Steve Kerr. I mean, come on, man. I mean, Scott Burrell and Steve Kerr. I mean, come on, man. I disagree with that. I think Jordan pushed people who he felt like weren't playing to their full capabilities. He didn't have to do that with Rodman or Pippen or Horace Grant

because they came to play and play hard every night. He pushed people. But he did it to Horace, too. He did it to Horace, though. He did it to Horace, too. He did it to Rodman at one point, too, but he just pushed people who needed to be pushed. Like, he got the most out of everybody. I don't think he picked and chose who he wanted to get on. I think he just wanted to win.

People that he felt weren't playing hard enough, he pushed them. Ain't no problem. Now, Charles Barkley also said that he feels that Jerry Krause was portrayed unfairly in the docuseries. Actually, Jerry Krause, because I think, you know, Ronsdorf has thrown him under the bus and drove over him like 10 times. You know, the notion that Jerry Krause broke up the Bulls, anybody would think that's got to be a fool.

Jerry Ronsdorf didn't want to pay those guys. You know, he had a chance to play Horace Grant, and he let him go. He didn't want to pay Scottie. I guarantee, I don't even know what Dennis was making, but I bet it was peanuts. When it was time to pay everybody, he broke up the team. I don't know if unfairly is the right word, but I do agree that Jerry Cross

is taking a lot of smoke when it should be him and the owner getting smoked together because outside of Jordan, he built the perfect team around MJ. He hired Phil Jackson and then they all let their own egos get in the way. Well, he let his own ego get in the way and then on top of that, the owner didn't want to pay them. So, yeah, I think they should be sharing the smoke.

Well, listen, all this does is make it more press for us to be watching this weekend, The Last Dance. So everybody's weighing in. There's a lot of stories. Yes, there's a lot of stories coming out. The director said he couldn't believe that Michael Jordan approved these next two episodes. So I know we all want to see him. I can't wait. So, looking forward to that on Sunday. And Charles

just sounds salty that they are not friends anymore. He really does just sound upset that he is not Michael Jordan's friend anymore. Do you think that Michael Jordan was being too sensitive and not liking Charles Barkley anymore after he called him out for what it was like? I think if they had

if they had, if they were actual friends, like really, really good friends, he should have heard that from Charles first before he heard it on TV. Absolutely. Had a conversation first. If they were friends, like you can't, if we're actual friends, you can't say that on TV and not say it to me. If you say it to me and then go on TV with it, okay,

I get it. I knew that was Charles' opinion, but I'd be, you'd get blindsided by that. Of course. Alright, now let's talk about Kevin Durant from our Brooklyn Nets. He was on Lil Wayne's Young Money Radio and he talked about possibly will he be returning if the NBA picks it up, you know, during the season

and playoffs in mid-July. Here's what he said. Everybody waiting on me to come back, so a lot of emotions involved. I get it. I understand the business now, but I'll be back when it's time. All right. We don't know when this time is going to be. It's been 13 months since he had that Achilles tendon surgery.

So we'll see what happens. But looking forward to that. And who knows if the season's even going to be starting again, you know? So we'll see what happens. They say two to four weeks, Adam Silver's going to make a decision, the commissioner of the NBA, two to four weeks. It seems like the players want to come back, though, so that does matter a lot.

Yeah, that does matter a lot, too, because if they didn't want to, I would say it's definitely not happening, but because they are willing and, you know, coming to that decision amongst themselves, then it makes sense to figure out how to do it safely. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, Charlemagne. Yes, sir.

Who are you giving that donkey to? You know, I need a young man named Maurice Fane to come to the front of the congregation. We need to have a word with him. He's a scammer. Oh, boy. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, I'm Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question.

So like a donkey, hee-haw, Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, May 14th goes to a young man named Maurice Fane, who goes by the name of Arkansas Moe. Now, I have no idea who Maurice Fane is. I don't know who Arkansas Moe is, but they're the same person. But all the news reports I read from CNN, Fox News, The Hollywood reporter all say he stars on vh1's love and hip-hop atlanta i haven't watched that show in a minute so i have no idea i do know yesterday i read a story about him that pissed me off and that's exactly why he's getting the credit he deserves for being stupid today now we all have heard about the paycheck

protection program right ppp well if you have If I had to explain PPP For donkeys, it simply gives small business Loans to continue to pay employees And cover other business expenses During this coronavirus crisis. If you don't Use that money to pay your employees, you Eventually have to pay that money back, okay? The whole goal of the loans is to

Keep workers employed during the pandemic Now, there's been a lot of Conversations surrounding the fact that this money isn't getting to the people who actually need it, especially small Black-owned businesses. There are small businesses I support, like Evelyn's Kitchen here in New York. I've seen them venting their frustrations about not receiving any PPE, which has to be frustrating, especially when you see multi-million dollar, sometimes billion dollar businesses like the Los Angeles Lakers and Shake Shack receive receive money there have been websites by prominent black figures like robert f smith drop on the clues bombs for robert f smith a chairman of vista

equity partners remember we had him on the breakfast club to discuss quickbase.com which is a website uh brothers and sisters with small businesses can go to to help them get in the queue to get some of these loans okay you know diddy, Diddy, Diddy, drop on a clues bomb for Diddy. He launched OffairShared.com, which is essentially the same thing, a website you can go to that helps you, you know, get it through some of this red tape faster. OK, I'm saying all that to say I have watched a lot of people who need and want these loans for the right reasons not be able to get them. Which brings me to Arkansas Mo, Maurice Fane. Okay. He runs a corporation called Flame Trucking. All right. And he submitted a PPP loan application for the company on April 15th, stating that the business had 107 employees

and an average monthly payroll of $1.4 million. All of this, according to an affidavit for the criminal complaint. Okay. Flame Trucking asked for a loan of 3.7 million dollars and certified that the loan for that the loan proceeds would be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments lease payments and utility payments because that's exactly what it specifies you should do under the paycheck protection program, United Community Bank ultimately funded the loan. They didn't give him the $3 million, but they gave him $2,045,800. Back in here.

Well, would you like to know what happened next? Let's go to Fox 5 Atlanta for the report, please. Maurice Mo Fane is out on bond, but authorities say they're monitoring him closely because not long after FBI agents interviewed him, he used his cell phone to look up countries with no extradition laws. The 37-year-old sole owner of Flame Trucking, who can be seen on episodes of Love & Hip

Hop Atlanta, is in trouble with the feds for alleged fraud. The reality TV personality's April 15th loan application stated his business had 107 employees. Fain applied for a more than $3 million loan to maintain payroll and other payments. Documents show the bank gave him a more than $2 million loan. Days later, the U.S. Attorney's Office says Fain used more than half of that

to buy a Rolex presidential watch, a diamond bracelet, five-carat diamond ring, Lisa Rolls-Royce, and pay $40,000 for child support. May 6th, federal agents interviewed Fain, who admitted to applying for a loan, but denied spending the money on anything but his business. According to Arvest Bank, Flame Trucking's account was closed September 17th, 2019. You know, before I continue with this story, I would love to play a game of Guess What Race It Is! I usually do this at the end, but I got to do this now.

OK, I have to just for my own amusement. All right. Maurice Fane stars on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. He had a trucking company, applied for over three million dollars in PPP loans. Ended up getting a little over two million. And then spent one1.5 million on $85 grand in jewelry. Black. Including a Rolex watch.

Black. A diamond bracelet. Black. A five-carat diamond ring. Black. He also leased, did I say leased, a 2019 Rolls-Royce Rafe.

Black. And he paid $40 grand in back child support. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. Black. child support. Envy and Angelie, also those listening in the car, are on the iHeartRadio app. Guess what race he is? Oh, can I go first? Can I go first? Can I go first? Can I go first? What do you think, Envy? I was leaning towards white, right? Nah, black. He black. Like, black, black. Like, he's black. Angelie,

what do you think? Guess what race he is? He's black, African American Oh, guess what, you're both wrong Alright, he's not black He's a n***a Alright, a pure Bread grade

A n***a Okay, yes, Uncle Ruckus, you are correct It is heavy n***a tree at work here And in the immortal words of Rick James They should have never given you us money as humorous as i find this story as humorous as i find these levels of entry it bothers me because there are a lot of small businesses struggling right now you took two plus million dollars out of the hands of black owned businesses that really need it you know

i'm saying you know how many brothers and sisters really need that money and you out here giving it right back to the government, giving it right back to the white man because you want to buy jewelry and fancy-ass cars? Now, there has been a lot of confusion among small business owners about PPP guidelines because a question that has been asked commonly is, can business owners be permitted to pay themselves a salary or take an owner taking owners draw i don't know the answer to that question but i do know it's something that rubbed me the wrong way about a man using the ppp money to buy jewelry and fancy cars and according to the police affidavit when asked if he used the money to buy the rolls royce rave listen to this this is true it's in the police

affidavit when asked if he used the money to buy the Rolls-Royce Wraith, he replied, kind of, sort of, not really. Okay. Now, Fain told the agents that he believed he had the right to use parts of the PPP loan proceeds for other business purposes and for working capital. My n***a, n***a, look at me. Tell me, what part of the trucking game does Jewelry play? Okay? What business purposes of the trucking game is a Rolls Royce Wraith? Not to mention his Flames trucking account was closed on September 19th. I'm trying to figure out, number one, are they not betting people for this PPP money? And if they are betting people people why aren't the folks who really need it getting it these are all questions that inquiring minds want to know but in the meantime maurice you should be ashamed of yourself you're taking food off

people's plates for your own personal gain and that to me is some legendary sucka please give Give Maurice Faines the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. I just want to say, though, a lot of people did. Bob Parsons, who owns GoDaddydy He got an $8 million PPP loan He did just give it back He owns GoDaddy He's a billionaire

You know how people host their websites On GoDaddy.com I don't think it's based on revenue It's based on how many employees you got So if you have Less than a certain amount of employees You have to have less than 500 a certain amount of 500 employees in order to be able to get that but come on dude like you're a billionaire yeah but i mean some

people ended up giving back there a lot of people did end up giving back the money though like shake shack and a lot of corporations the lakers we talked about that you know why fill it out to give it back though what like what did they they get they get a heart later on and say you know what maybe we just don't need this money? I think sometimes your financial team does that. I think that a lot of people's financial teams do it for them and then they get approved and they get the money. That's what I think happens in situations like that. Right. So, yeah, if you are applying for these loans and you don't need them for your business, let the small businesses who really need these loans get that money. And be clear, it is a loan, so it can be forgiven if you use it for the right purposes, for making sure that you can pay your employees, pay your lease, whatever it is that

you need it for. It's not just for you to just have some more money. And it's damn sure not for you to stunt. Not at all. What do you mean? I'm about to do it it today i'm about to get me a bugatti i'm about to get me a new ring a new chain i'm about to get it up what's that chain that t-pain had back in the day big ass chain i'm gonna give me big ass chain i'm letting you know right now if you do that you're definitely gonna miss your daughter's graduation because okay sir and you do have to meet certain guidelines to be forgiven for this loan. So just know if you apply for it and you get it, they are going to investigate. People got to be smarter than that.

Just make sure you're doing the right thing with it. Make sure that money is going to your employees. There's a lot of people that need that, man. So please don't take advantage of it. Yes, please don't. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, sir.

Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. of the day. Yes, sir. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, it's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is

Eugene calling from Miami, Florida. What's up, bro? What's your question Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello. Yeah, this is Eugene calling from Miami, Florida. What's up, bro? What's your question for Yee? Alright, so Yee, I got this question, right? So, like, I just met this girl. I've been newer. We grew up probably in the same neighborhood. And we've been dating for, like, three months.

It's been going good. We decided to, like, invest in a few, you know know we ended up doing a few um business and investments and it's actually going good but now i feel like our personalities is clashing where we you know we finding ourselves you know arguing more now but the business is going good so now i'm I'm stuck between do I stay in the relationship and try to see where it goes or do I

continue with the business and just build off that. I'm kind of stuck with the work. Eugene, it's always tough to date somebody while you're trying to do business together because you wonder if our relationship will affect the business. Now, as far as you guys having invested in business together, you wonder if our relationship will affect the business now as

far as you guys having invested in business together is this something that y'all have to work together on like show up for is it just an investment i mean yeah it's definitely like we definitely have to work day to day and um you know be up on the one another which again like the vibe is always good but it's just I believe that both our, you know, personalities is dominant. And, like, when we clash, it's pretty, like, nasty. So it's like, you know, I don't want to be going a whole nother year, two years, three years doing the same thing. But at the same time, the business, like I said, it's pretty much good.

We just started, and it's like we're seeing numbers. And, like, it's going good. Do y'all have a contract with everything like legally so just in case things go left you know what you get and she knows what she gets yeah of course of course okay just making sure sometimes people disagree to do stuff and they don't map it out and that's the thing you that's what i'm saying like damn like i'm stuck in in between you know what go with this person because she's a very, very good, interesting person, you know what I'm saying? She's smart, intelligent, everything.

But then, like I say, it's like when you think about, you know, growing with somebody and building a foundation with them also, it can be kind of sticky on both ends, you know? Yeah. Well, I think that it's worth a conversation for y'all both to have, because it sounds like you guys are both good business people, so you can be practical when it comes to that. But when emotions get involved, sometimes that creates more friction. Sometimes when you're dating somebody, you end up talking about the business while you're at home, supposedly having a good time. And that also causes friction in a relationship. So I would say since y'all both seem like you're intelligent and practical

people have that conversation, be like, look, I just want to make sure I know that lines can get blurred and crossed as we're dating as well as doing business together. So let's make this agreement that we're not going to let our relationship affect whatever it is, our business. And we'll always keep that professional. And that when we are together and we're trying to have some downtime away from the business, we're not discussing things that might cause us to argue even more. Now, I don't know if you're

saying you're not sure where you're going in the relationship, if you don't want to be with her, or you just don't know what's going to happen, but you guys are also going to have to come to some agreement as far as conflict resolution. And when couples are together and they're doing business together, it's just as important how you decide to discuss things that you might not agree on and how you decide to make up together. So that's something that y'all probably have to work on as well, because if you're going to have this ongoing relationship business-wise, you guys have to make sure you know how to speak to each other. What bothers me? I don't like it when you say this to me. It really affects me when you say this. When we argue, do we have certain things that we know to diffuse a situation?

We need to not speak for a certain amount of time or do we need to address it right away? These are all things that y'all need to come together to discuss as far as making sure you have a long-term situation, business-wise at least. Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Okay. Yeah, and she might agree with you. She might say, you know what? We do get into these really bad arguments. Our personalities sometimes clash. So let's figure out how we can make sure

no matter what, our business is taken care of. If we decide that we want to continue on with this relationship, we can do that. If not, we can still do business together as adults. Okay. Definitely. I appreciate that, Yee. Alright, no problem. Alright, ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

If you need relationship advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this? This is Anonymous caller. Anonymous. What's your name, Anonymous? Anonymous. I'm just messing with you.

Don't tell me. I'm just messing with you. What's your question for Yee? What if you have, like, a toxic baby daddy, and you know, like, he's going to be getting out of jail soon, and he's going to ruin your life. He's going to ruin your life. He's going to ruin your life? Yeah.

And he knows where you live and everything? Well, not right now because I'm in between housing, but, like, I'm interested in buying this house that's, like, 40 minutes outside of town. And he gets out of jail at the end of July. And it's, like like when he was out he was like going crazy i'm talking about like he tried to get me fired from at least two of my jobs he's like i can't move on with my life he's allowed to have a girlfriend he doesn't want

a co-parent he filed for his rights we go to do the mediation. He's like, oh, he doesn't want me to know where he lives at. He's telling the mediator that his mom's address. Like, then, like, when we leave, he's like, oh, can I take you to breakfast? Just, like, real toxic. Like, don't pay child support. Child support. Anonymous. And she was, yeah.

Have you tried to handle this with the police? Like, get a restraining order? I've had two through juvenile, but they expired. You need to get a permanent one. I actually had to get a permanent restraining order on somebody before and this sounds to me like a situation where you need a permanent restraining order against this person. You are in fear of your life.

You have a child. You don't know what he might do to you. He's calling your job. He's harassing you. You need to make sure that you do that legally. My child pressed charges against him for menacing because they got him on the customer service line actually, like, talking s*** to me. Right. But it's just like, right now, he doesn't know where I'm at because he's incarcerated.

But when he gets out, like, he still has, even while he's in jail, he still has people reaching out to me. Right. Right. I think what needs to happen is because, let me tell you, I'm sure he's scared to ever have to go back to jail. And once you get that permanent restraining order, if he reaches out to you, if any of his people reach out to you, if he continues to harass you, if he tries to show up where you are, then he'll go right back to jail. Yeah.

I think and when you do buy that house, I would say try to make sure that you incorporate so that it's not traced back to your name. So when you do buy it, he can't just find out where you live easily. Right. It's like, I'm going to be buying this house. It's like 40 minutes outside of town, but I can still come to work, but it's out the way. Right. It's just like, I was going to move out of state, but this coronavirus killed that. It was like, I can't even get to Texas if I wanted to because that's where I was going to go. But it is crazy. Like, he's getting out. And I'm not scared. It's just like he just tries to ruin everything I got going on, which is weird.

Right. Because, like, I don't want you. So, can I live my life? Yeah, no, listen. I'm telling you right now. And I know sometimes it sucks to have to do that because you feel bad. Like, oh, I'm going to get a restraining order. I don't want to put him in jail.

But he'll be putting him. His daughter loves him, but he's crazy. Listen, he'll be putting himself in jail if he does reach out to you and harass you anymore. So just remember that it's not you putting him in jail. You're getting a restraining order for your own good. And if he violates that, that's on him. Then that means that he did something that he knew was going to land him in jail. That's not on you.

You can't feel guilty about that. You're right. So he knows what he got to do. And so just please, I'm begging you, like, just go ahead and go through that process. Start that now. Like, you can go and, you know, submit for that and make sure that you get it. You have people that can back you up and talk about the kind of things that he's done and how he's been menacing. And you have evidence of that. And you're in fear because that way, if something happens, he's going to end up going right back to jail.

And he'll have to think twice before he even tries to come for you. And sometimes people take advantage of the fact that they know they can prey on your weaknesses and know that you'll feel guilty. And of course, you never want to put nobody in jail, but he got to leave you alone. He can't try to destroy your life. He's not thinking. You're right. I don't know what's wrong with dude. I really don't.

He got to get some, and you know, maybe they'll order that he has to get some help. He's like his little sidekick. It's like she allows him to do that shit and then it's like, I'm like, he go along with it.

Let's just focus on him. Stay away from me. I don't even want you around me. Don't reach out to me. Don't come see me. And whatever they have to do in the court to figure out when he sees his daughter, let them handle that. If that means you got to drop your daughter off at your mom's house, whatever you got to do. At the police station.

That's the only thing I'm going to agree with. Okay. Well, good. It's on him now. You know, you get that restraining order. Now it's on him if he wants to stay out of good. It's on him now. You know, you get that restraining order, now it's on him if he wants to stay out of jail. It's not on you. Alright. Alright, I wish you so much luck, and we're

sending you some love. Thank you so much. Alright. Good luck, Mama. Ask Yee 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice you can call Yee. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and let's talk about somebody who's very upset about all these reports

that they're not as nice as you might think they are. A lot of people are coming out with stories about how mean this person is. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report, rumor report. This is the rumor report talk to with angela yee on the breakfast club yes so now there's been some reports that ellen degeneres is not as nice as she tries to appear and people saying that she's just straight out mean there's also a lot of stories if you look online they actually started a whole Twitter thread a couple of months ago that was started by comedian Kevin T. Porter. He said he was going to donate $2 to the Los Angeles Food Bank

in exchange for every story about Ellen being mean. And a lot of people weighed in. Some people had evidence. They were saying that going to her show was demeaning. Then there was also reports about her not paying her staff during this time and hiring a whole new staff to come in to do the Ellen show. One person also said you might as well nickname her the Teflon Terror because they said viewers at home keep buying what she's selling. Ellen's been in our homes for so long, it'll take a lot more than a bodyguard and a blogger to change how

people feel about her. Her best response is just being happy Ellen on the show every day. So it says that she is a little bit stressed out though, about all these stories about people saying that she's been very mean. A former bodyguard also claimed that while working for her, she never said hello to him, never thanked him. And he said the whole experience was just demeaning. Is that the only example? Like what are the examples? No. Variety published several accounts from crew members of the Ellen show. They said they were barely getting paid during coronavirus lockdown and that she hired a non-union, less expensive

crew to work on her show from home. And then again, there's a whole Twitter thread. If you look online, you can see it where people talked about being on the show and how she was nasty and mean to them. So even though according to some people, they're saying that she promotes kindness to the viewers. They said that she really is very heartless. But some people are also saying, well,

you know, she might just have issues with, you know, how some people have like social issues and things like that. So I don't know what the true story is, but there are a good number of stories of people saying that she was just nasty. I mean, that's so interesting because, you know what I'm saying? I always wonder, you know, what do people be expecting of folks? Like, you know, just because you have a perception of somebody doesn't mean that's who they are. Like, would you want Ellen to dance with you every single day? But I will say most people like that the way they, you know, what they give off on television is not who they are in real life. Because I know plenty of people who give off that nice do-gooder energy and they're the most trash-ass people.

And then I know people who give off the opposite energy who might be the nicest people behind the scenes. Yeah, but can it also be the time that you catch them? You know what I mean? Because you can catch them, you know, maybe they're out with their family or maybe they're doing something and, you know, they say, well, not right now, and people take that as a slap in the face. That's true, too.

I think you also have to worry, like, you know, if people who actually worked with you have things to say about you. Because you're saying a lot of her crew members are talking about it and, you know, and even her own security. And, you know, it does feel like if all these people who worked with you are saying these things about you, then maybe there's some truth to it. That's probably because people be fronting their ass, though. I can't stand it. I hate it. I be laughing. I laugh when I see people portray a certain way on, you know, anything. And then behind the scenes, they really be the wackest, trashiest people. So I think what people do have to think about is like,

what kind of energy are you putting out there? How do you treat the people that work with you and work for you? Because you never know when those people and, you know, it can work for a number of years. But then when it comes out and the truth comes out and a number of people have something to say, you know, that's how is that how you want to be remembered? So not sure what's going on in Ellen's case, but maybe there's still time for her to think about the way she's treated people. If this is indeed true. Now, Wendy Williams has sold her former New Jersey family mansion. It's been quite some time since she put that on the market. She originally listed that

property back in January and she listed it for 1.895 million. Then she dropped the price to 1.699 and then it was listed at 1.5. And so she has finally just sold it. So I'm sure that's good news. What did she sell it for? Now, Wendy, what? What did she sell it for you, you know? I know the last time it was listed, it was 1.5. So I'm not sure what the actual sale price was, but. She lost about 600,000 on that house. She paid about 2.1 for that home, close to 2.2.

But she just wanted to get out of it, I'm sure. One thing about Wendy, though, what you see is what you get. What she presents to you on TV and on radio is exactly who she is in real life, God damn it. Okay? All right, and congratulations to Black Thought and Questlove. They have done a deal with Universal Television, and it's a first look deal.

So they've been part of the NBC family since 2009 when they became the house band for Jimmy Fallon. And so now they have their own deal. Questlove said this deal is very important to us as we've been content producers and storytellers for our entire career. They also had that AMC documentary series, Hip Hop, The Songs That Shook America. That was really great. So congratulations to them. They have the Black Woodstock film coming out as well.

So it'll be really dope. It's a musical based on. And it's also a musical that they have coming out as well. So it'll be really dope. It's a musical based on, and it's also a musical that they have coming out based on, on Soul Train. So they have a lot of different things happening. So well-deserved. Dropping the clues, bounce for Questlove and Black Thought.

I'm telling you every TV production company, film production company needs to hire rappers because rappers are the best storytellers. They have the most new, creative, interesting stories that y'all have not done yet. The rappers, I'm telling best storytellers. They have the most new, creative, interesting stories that y'all have not done yet. The rappers, I'm telling you.

All right. Well, Blueface looks like he's getting a lot of attention because of things that he's doing now. He shared a video on social media of his child's mother, Jaden Alexis. And I guess it looked like she was trying to break the windows of his house. And she did break one window, I believe.

She did break one. Did you see it? She did break one window. She wasn't with, she did break one. Did you see it? She did break one with that rubber. Oh, she had like a rubber. What was that? I don't know.

What is the rubber shovel? Or I don't know what that was, but I did see her. He's whack for posting that man. That's well, here's what he was. Here's what it sounded like. What's wrong with your mommy?

What's wrong with your mommy? What's wrong with your mommy? What's wrong with your mommy? What's wrong with her? She don't live here. What's she doing? Baby mama drama. Damn, I got some good. That's your baby mother with your son right there. He shouldn't have posted that crying. That's bad. Like you don't ever was making jokes. With your son right there. He shouldn't have posted that one. Crying. That's bad. Like, you don't ever want your child to witness something like that. Yeah, it's whack as hell for that to be playing out in front of the kid.

It's whack as hell for Blueface to be recording it, even though I understand why he probably did record it, because it'll keep him out of trouble later just in case. Correct. And she shouldn't be acting like that in front of the child. Like, that child is going to remember that, and that child is going to think that behavior is normal. And it's not. Okay, that's how trauma begins.

She posted, since we take ish to the gram, and then she said that n-words lick I don't know how to say this. Lick what? The brown round. And then when bitches do the pull up, they run upstairs with a
