Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

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

It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I can't even the hot seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty.

Starting point is 00:03:06 I want to be 90, 100 years old. I want to see my kids do everything. Me too. Inshallah, that'll happen. Now, my dad, now one thing with being old is sometimes old people are stubborn. And I'm sure my dad is listening right now. You are a stubborn old man, dad. Why he's calling you a daddy stubborn?
Starting point is 00:03:21 Stop calling him that. No. You got to give us context. I'm going to tell you. So I tell my dad. Now, when I go to the store, I get things for numerous people. I get things for my mother and father. I get stuff for my mother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So when I go to the store and I get a case of water, I get three cases to make sure everybody's good. I get three cases of toilet paper. I make sure they're all good, right? Call my parents every day just to check them on them. Y'all good? You need anything? No. He calls me this morning about five minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Like, hey, you never you never guess where I'm at. I'm like, well, where are you home? He goes, no, stop and shop. I'm like, what the hell are you doing at stop and shop? He says, well, they open up an hour early for, you know, senior citizen, old people like me. I'm like, well, what do you need? Like, what do you need? I tell you, I will bring anything to you. Do not leave the damn house. Stay home. You probably can't. You can't go an hour early. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:07 He's a senior citizen. He's taking advantage. It's just like being a senior citizen at IHOP when you take advantage of the discount on the pancakes. He's taking advantage of the hour. Old people can't get coronavirus. There's other older people in the store with him. I tell you, stay home.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I will bring it to you. Do not leave the house. You're out and about, and yes, somebody else can have it in their store. You don't leave that man alone. That man, how old is he? Seventy-something. I was about to say 90. He's 70-something years old. That man doesn't live through it all. Leave that man. Let your daddy live his life,
Starting point is 00:04:31 goddammit. Yeah, they out there going to the store. They got their extra hour in, so they might as well take advantage of it. No! No! No! No! No! Stay home! You up here? You ain't home. You right. So shut up. I'm dumb. Yeah, okay, well. That's what being 70 years old and having all that experience is about, having wisdom. Okay?
Starting point is 00:04:48 He know exactly what he's doing. Goodness gracious, Dad. Go home, man. I will bring whatever you need. I will bring. Then I say, well, what do you want? You might want to ask him to get you some stuff. You got that extra hour.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yo, I asked him. I said, what do you need? Right? Eddie's listening because I was on speakerphone. I go, Dad, what do you need? He goes, I'm just out here looking. Maybe he just wanted to get out the house. He said, I'm just out here looking. Maybe he just wanted to get out the house. He said, I'm just out here looking.
Starting point is 00:05:06 What are you looking for? Let that man live his life. Sadly, this is the new normal that we may have to deal with. Goodness gracious, Dad. Well, can you ask your dad to pick me up some Smart Puffs? No. My mom is there, too. I know he's listening.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I know he's listening. Goodness gracious, Mom and Dad. This is the new normal we might have to live with. We might have to live in a world where, you know what? Older people go to the store an hour before everybody else. And, you know, the threat of coronavirus is always around us for the foreseeable future. Especially because I got anxiety. So, you know, every time I get a headache or my arm hurt, I'll be like, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I start looking. I must have taken my temperature yesterday six times. You just like putting that thing up your butt. It's not in my butt. I swipe it on my forehead, you ass. I'm not going to lie. I did ask my wife to take my temperature last night, though. But the thermometer was in my kid's room, so she couldn't go in there to get it because
Starting point is 00:05:49 she didn't want to wake the kids up. But I did. And it's not like I felt sick or nothing. I was just like, because I was even thinking about that. I was thinking about everybody who has tested positive, right? And they say they didn't feel the symptoms. I wonder if you can have a fever. That would be a symptom, though, right?
Starting point is 00:06:04 So it wouldn't even matter. Even if you do check your temperature and it's fine, you can still have it. I was also thinking, I was like, you know what? Charlamagne, Eddie, and me, probably if one of us get it, we all got it. I just want to tell you. Oh, absolutely. And Dan and Taylor, all you guys out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 We'll be fine. Yeah. I believe. I believe we'll be fine. We'll be fine. The truth to the matter is. We'll be fine. Because that's the truth to the believe it. It will be fine. It will be fine. The truth to the matter is. It will be fine. Because that's the truth to the matter.
Starting point is 00:06:27 You got to lean into the uncertainty of it all. You know, if you don't get it, great. If you do get it, what you going to do? What are you going to do? What you going to do? Still got to live your life, right? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Just be happy that you're a certain age and you don't have any previous medical conditions. Correct. And your body can fight it off. That's right. I've been taking MAD, vitamin C and zinc and vitamin D too previous medical conditions and your body can fight it off. That's right. I've been taking Mad Vitamin C and Zinc and Vitamin D too. I know you've been getting that Vitamin D my brother. See there you go. When you told us how you came in the back door yesterday I said
Starting point is 00:06:53 okay Envy getting that Vitamin D up. Oh my goodness. I understand brother. Let's get the show cracking. It's Thursday. Throwback Thursday. Drew Hill will be joining us this morning. Drew Hill will be here this morning. Yes we'll kick it with Drew Hill. Legendary. That's right. That'll be a nice little mini mix for this morning. Drew Hill will be here this morning. Drew Hill. Yes, we'll kick it with Drew Hill. Legendary. That's right.
Starting point is 00:07:07 That'll be a nice little mini mix for this morning. And I'm going to tell you something else. For everybody out there that's feeling away, I was driving in this morning and I saw a very, very, very bad accident. So, you know, in light of everything that's happening in the world, it's still people out here who having it worse. Right. Okay?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Right. Be careful out there. The roads, I know on the East Coast, the weather's nasty for a little bit this morning. So just be careful. Give yourself a little extra time if you have to go to work. If you don't have to, don't leave the crib, please. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Front page news. What are we talking? What are we talking? What do we start with you? Well, of course, coronavirus. But you know, the first day of spring is upon us also. And we'll tell you what you can look forward to. Today is the first day.
Starting point is 00:07:43 It is the first day of spring. Wow. Well, happy spring. Happy fake spring. Yeah, there first day. It is the first day of spring. Wow. Well, happy spring. Happy fake spring. Yeah, there you go. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, you know, it is the first day of spring, but they are saying there's going to be a winter storm, and there'll be snow across the United States on that first day of spring. That's good.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Doesn't snow kill germs? No. They said they actually said the heat will be better. Yeah, it was warmer. OK. Supposed to be 70 degrees on the East Coast Friday. Tomorrow, I mean, Saturday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:19 So, well, tomorrow's Friday. That's what I mean. Tomorrow, Friday. OK. That's crazy that the heat kills more germs because it feels like it's more germy when it's hot out. Or maybe it's just people being musty. I think it's also the sun with the vitamins you get from the sun also makes you healthier. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:08:35 As well. So, all right. Now let's talk about the Family First Act. Nancy Pelosi is describing what will happen with the Family First Act in regards to coronavirus. This legislation facilitates free coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured. To put families first, our legislation secures paid leave with two weeks of paid sick leave and family and medical leave for those affected by the virus. And for those who lose their jobs, we are strengthening unemployment insurance,
Starting point is 00:09:04 a critical step to protect workers' economic security. Putting families first, our legislation protects our children, and particularly the tens of millions of little children who rely on the free or reduced price lunch they receive at school. All right, so under their revised bill, they said payments would be capped at $511 a day. Originally, they were trying to get people their full pay, but because there's limited federal reimbursement, they can't do that amount. And workers with family members affected by coronavirus and people whose children's schools have closed will still get up to two-thirds of their pay. Now, Donald Trump also talked about suspending evictions and foreclosures. Today, I'm also announcing that the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Starting point is 00:09:47 is providing immediate relief to renters and homeowners by suspending all foreclosures and evictions until the end of April. So, we're working very closely with Dr. Ben Carson and everybody from HUD. Listen, man, drop on the clues bombs for them, okay? Because it's good to see
Starting point is 00:10:04 that Republicans and Democrats can work together to do what's right for the American people. That's a nice bipartisan bill that will help Americans that need it. And that's how government is supposed to work. Taxpayers getting something for their tax dollars. That's why we got to demand more of our goddamn government. All right. In addition, Donald Trump keeps on calling the coronavirus the Chinese virus. And here's his explanation. Why do you keep calling this the Chinese virus? Why do you keep using this? It's not racist at all. No, not at all. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.
Starting point is 00:10:37 As you know, China tried to say that it was caused by American soldiers. It's not going to happen. Listen, I understand. but I still want to know why nobody ever asked that question when it comes to the West Nile virus or Ebola or Zika, all of those things that are from Africa. Nobody ever asked that question then? I think people did ask those questions at that time also. They definitely did. I've never remembered that. Yeah, the problem is that people are getting attacked now just because they're Asian.
Starting point is 00:11:05 People don't know if you're a Chinese, Chinese-American, and it looks like he's trying to scapegoat a certain group of people. Africans used to get stigmatized, too. They still get stigmatized. Do you think he was trying to scapegoat, or do you think because the Chinese government said it started from Americans and American soldiers, he's just trying to be clear that it didn't start from Americans? So you want to rename the virus that to make people feel better?
Starting point is 00:11:24 I don't know why he's doing it, but that's what it seems like he's doing it. He told you why. He said because it originated in China. But that's not what it's called. He's just renaming it. Right? I mean, that's not what it's called. He's just trying to change the name of it, and then, you know, and I think people are having issues with people getting attacked for no
Starting point is 00:11:39 reason just because they're Asian. And that is totally wrong, but my point will stand. I don't understand why people don't have that same energy when it comes to the West Nile virus, Ebola, and Zika because that's just as racist, right? And that puts a stigma on them people. You definitely can't have that same energy. You definitely can't have that same energy. But they don't,
Starting point is 00:11:55 is what I'm saying. Alright, well that is your front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you just feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity. Phone lines are wide open right now. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:12:13 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.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country?
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.

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.

And if you stay in a sauna for like 15 minutes, it'll start destroying and breaking it down. And then you go back in another hour later, stay in a little longer, and you'll destroy it completely.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Now who told you that? What YouTube channel told you that? Well, you know, if you look at, I found it on Instagram. You found that on Instagram? Come on now. Alright, Dr. Sharon, thank you so much. Alright, well, I'm not a doctor, but try it out.

Starting point is 00:17:00 Oh, Chris's party. Chris's all-white party. Oh, Chris having an all-white party? Yeah, I seen a flyer that Chris posted. No, I will not be there. Oh, man.

Good morning, Ashley Yee, Charlamagne. Good morning. Good morning, bro. What's up, King? Hey, Fran. I just wanted to speak on real quick about what y'all were just talking about before the break. As far as Donald Trump calling it the Chinese virus.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'm seeing this pattern of black people. I'm black included. People on Twitter undermining people's offenses or racial slurs targeted towards other people just because we get targeted. We get oppressed for so long. But I feel like that's not right to undermine other people that are also getting offended. Like, if they're offended, then they're offended. It's still a problem. Racism is racism.
Starting point is 00:18:36 That's a fact. But I'm not undermining it. I'm just asking a simple question because they've named three diseases after, you know, things in Africa. And I haven't heard nobody say nothing about it. Well, they definitely were when it was going on. Because they've named three diseases after, you know, things in Africa. And I haven't heard nobody say nothing about it. Well, they definitely were. When it was going on, they definitely were. When it was big and positive. Yeah, people did say things about it.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I missed all of that. Everybody was talking about, oh, don't stand next to him. He got Ebola and all that shit. Like, they were doing, oh, I apologize. But they were definitely doing that. I didn't know Ebola was a place. Ebola is a river in the Congo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:03 But thank you, bro. Other than that, I'm blessed. I hope everybody has a great day, a great weekend. Everybody Congo. But thank you, bro. Other than that, I'm blessed. I hope everybody has a great day, a great weekend. Everybody stay safe. All right, bro. That's all I got. I agree. Let's stop hating on people just because of their ethnicity, period.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, breakfast hub in Philly. I called y'all probably a few weeks ago. A truck driver from Dollar Street. What's up with you, bro? Get it off your chest. What's happening? Man, I just want to say, like, I feel like I, the truck driver from Dollar Tree. What's up with you, bro? Get it off your chest. What's happening? Man, I just want to say,
Starting point is 00:19:26 like, I feel like, I'm a, you know, like I said, I'm a truck driver and I feel like we at a higher risk, you know? Like, we got to deliver
Starting point is 00:19:32 all these products to people and these products are coming from everywhere and, you know, we probably going to be the last thing that shut down
Starting point is 00:19:37 if there is a shutdown because, you know, we got to get everything to the stores. So I feel like it's just, you know, we just had a bigger risk. And another thing I want to say is you and Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace, K. Good morning. Y'all had mentioned on the episode before, Evie, you had said that you was going to buy more ammo. And that's what I'm thinking, too. Like, I live in a gun shop right now. What if, you know, we don't know how long we're going to be on lockdown.
Starting point is 00:20:02 So, like, what if people do start acting crazy and s*** like that, you know? I already bought some more. I'm 2A all day, baby. I believe in my right to bear arms. Yeah, so, yeah, I think that is a good suggestion or idea. Yes, sir. I mean, I got everything. I got ammo.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I got food. I got toilet paper. I got paper towels. I got everything just in case. I got five kids to protect and a wife. So, yes. That's what guns are for. Guns are for hunting and guns are for protection.
Starting point is 00:20:29 True, true, true. All right, y'all. Have a good one. Stay clean out here. All right, man. Hello, who's this? What's up? This is James from Indianapolis.
Starting point is 00:20:37 How's it going, Breast Club? What's up, James? Get it off your chest, bro. I just want to say I'm blessed, black, and highly favored. There you go. I want to tell everybody to keep y'all head up around this time. I know this might be a grim time, but trouble don't last always, man. It's just temporary.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I'm going to get through this. I'm going to be honest with you. I went to therapy last week, and I was on the phone with my spiritual advisor last night. Thank God, by the way, for therapists and spiritual advisors who you can get on the phone. I'm relatively calm through all of this. My anxiety is not through the roof about this anyway. I feel a strange sense of peace, to be honest with you. Yeah, I'm okay.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I'm actually happy to be home with the family and kids. Sometimes, I mean, God tells you when you just got to sit your ass down. Absolutely. He might be telling us, sit your ass down, man. And I think that, like I keep saying, you just got to lean into the uncertainty of it all. And I'm fine with not knowing what's around the corner. Like, you know, because at times like this, you got to remember your serenity prayer. Everybody out there knows the serenity prayer.
Starting point is 00:21:31 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. You got to be wise enough to know in this situation, there's nothing you can do about it. Okay? Nothing. You don't control any of this. Envy, we do have a decision to make. What's that? Well, you know, we do have the juice bar in Brooklyn,
Starting point is 00:21:47 and it has been a lot of people coming there just to get their immune systems up and going. But how long do we keep it open? I mean, that's a tough one because people are coming in to get, you know, their juices, their fresh juice. A lot of times they can't get it. We have a lot of stock. So that is a tough one. People are coming to get their immune shots. They're coming have a lot of stock. So that is a tough one. People are coming to get their immune
Starting point is 00:22:05 shots. They're coming to get their, you know, that is a tough one. I mean. Yeah, because it is a great service for the neighborhood. For people that are coming in and getting their fruits and their revived juices and their vitamin C shots and their wheatgrass shots and their ginger shots and turmeric and all of that. But
Starting point is 00:22:21 the safety. I'll be honest with you though. I think after today I think the governor might shut it down for us, but we'll see. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, we'll be talking about when they see us, find out who is suing Ava DuVernay over that series. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

Starting point is 00:25:57 So Linda Fairstein is now suing Netflix and Ava DuVernay over how she was portrayed in When They See Us. She was the one who helped prosecute the five, the Central Park five, the five young men who did not commit this crime of raping this jogger. So she said she objects to nearly every single aspect of the case as it's portrayed in the series. She denies taking any of the following actions, which includes unlawfully interrogating unaccompanied minors,
Starting point is 00:26:25 calling for a roundup of young black thugs, manipulating the timeline to pin the joggers rape on the Central Park Five, and referring to people of color as animals, directing NYPD detectives to coerce confessions, and suppressing DNA evidence. So she's saying all of that is untrue, and it's affected her and her work moving forward. So she's suing for that and for defamation. She wants a public apology. She wants those scenes removed that she says are false. And she wants a disclaimer added that the series is a dramatization and not a true story.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And she wants damages as well. Well, we saw the real footage of those coerced confessions. So we know that happened. And just because Linda doesn't remember it the way it was portrayed, it happened. Your bias and your prejudice caused those brothers to go to jail for a crime they didn't commit. That actually happened, so knock it off. Feels like she doesn't think she did anything
Starting point is 00:27:14 wrong and she has no remorse. We can sue anybody for anything, so let the lawsuit happen. I'm sure she'll lose. Yeah, she'll definitely lose. Alright. Now Floyd Mayweather is most likely calling off his fight plans for 2020. He was supposed to be doing two fights, one involving the UFC, another one against an established, respected boxer. But unfortunately, he's had a lot of terrible things happen as of late.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Josie Harris, who is his ex and mother of three of his children, passed away. And his uncle, Roger Mayweather, also died all within the span of a week. So that is the last thing on his mind right now is having to fight. Yeah, emotionally, he's not in no shape to fight. And I didn't even know those fights were happening. That was that. He said he was going to fight twice.
Starting point is 00:27:57 He didn't necessarily announce it, but he definitely said he was going to fight. Yeah, but it was quiet for those fights. I remember he announced them on Instagram, but it was quiet. Nobody cared. I don't think he said who it was. He didn't announce opponents yet.
Starting point is 00:28:08 He did. He posted both of them. He posted both of the people he was fighting. All right. The NBA and the NFL fans are very excited because you get free league and game pass access right now. The NBA offered free access to the NBA League Pass while the league is suspended. So they want to make sure you can sit at home and watch that and get to see full length and condensed replays of all games from the 2019 to 2020 season. And you can get that on the official
Starting point is 00:28:35 NBA site or the NBA app. The NFL has also offered free access to the NFL Game Pass that's available to fans in the U.S. and internationally. So that'll be free of charge until May 31st. And there'll be game replays from 2009 to 2019, condensed 45-minute game replays and other content as well. So you guys can watch. Speaking of the NBA,
Starting point is 00:28:58 when that Michael Jordan-Chicago Bulls documentary dropping? Because didn't the commercial say June, but now it keeps saying coming soon. So I'm thinking that the season is over that they might move it up. They need to. I think so. I need that in my life. Alright now Erykah Badu in the meantime
Starting point is 00:29:13 since we're all sitting at home is doing a live concert series. She did a live concert series from her bedroom. So here's what she told her followers. The quarantine concert series live from my bedroom. We'll be performing right here live this weekend. Live stream, $1 to get in.
Starting point is 00:29:34 We got to keep moving, y'all. We're a community of artists who are, our survival depends on performing. I'll be right there with my candles lit and my sage burning. God damn it. So that starts on March 21st. And you get to actually choose the songs that you'll perform. There's going to be a poll so you can vote and do all of that. Oh, that's Saturday. Is she charging or no?
Starting point is 00:29:55 A dollar. A dollar? A dollar. Listen, the wife and I will definitely be tuned into that. My wife is a huge Erykah Badu fan. So am I. So that'll be a dope thing to do laid up in the bed watching at home. Watching home concerts. Mm-hmm. All right. And soon you'll be a dope thing to do, laid up in the bed, watching at home, watching home concerts.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Mm-hmm. All right. And soon you'll be able to watch Tom Brady play for the Buccaneers. He decided to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of his son, partly, according to page six. They said the other teams are farther away from his son's home. So he chose that team to stay closer to his kid. It was between three teams, and that's why he chose the Buccaneers, and he'll
Starting point is 00:30:28 likely announce it today or tomorrow. Did those numbers come out? I saw something. He said he got $30 million a year. That's what they said. I can't be mad at that. You know what I mean? I didn't know he got that much money. If that's the number. If it is. Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Alright, thank you, Ms. Yee. Front page news next, what are we talking about? What have we been talking about? Coronavirus. Absolutely. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Good morning. Life comes at you so goddamn fast. Why? Because I said, oh, it's going to be 81 degrees tomorrow. I'm going to put something on the grill. And then you go, yeah, but it's going to be raining. It's going to be raining. So it's just like just that fast when I thought the temperature was going to be 81.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I was like, oh! Turn the grill on. I was like, turn the grill on. Oh, it's going to be raining. It's going to be raining. So it's just like just that fast when I thought the temperature was going to be 81, I was like, oh! Turn the grill on. Turn the grill on. Oh, it's going to be raining. Ah. All right. That's not reality. Well, let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with coronavirus. They said that this pandemic could last up to 18 months or longer now and include multiple waves of illness. They also are saying that hospitals have sounded the alarm. There's supplies vanishing as the outbreak has no signs of slowing down in the United States. In just 24 hours, cases went up by more than 40%. Of course, that's not unexpected because there's a lot more tests available now. So that's why we're seeing a lot more cases now because a lot more people are being tested.
Starting point is 00:31:38 The number of cases, as I said, for adults age 65 and older, 80% of coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. occurred in adults who are over 65. Just a FYI. That's a huge problem, the hospitals being overwhelmed, man. Because, I mean, not only are you going to have people going in there for coronavirus. I was hearing that they were pushing back surgeries this week. People who was getting surgery for cancer and things like that. That was getting pushed back.
Starting point is 00:32:03 What if your kid breaks their arm? What if somebody has a heart attack? The hospital can definitely be overwhelmed. I'm sure if it's an emergency, like your kid breaking an arm or something bleeding, they'll tend to it. But everything else, they got to push back. They need more beds. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:32:16 All right, now Donald Trump just signed yesterday the coronavirus relief package that has some provisions also for a lot of different things. Here's Nancy Pelosi speaking on it. This legislation facilitates free coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured. To put families first, our legislation secures paid leave with two weeks of paid sick leave and family and medical leave for those affected by the virus. And for those who lose their jobs, we are strengthening unemployment insurance,
Starting point is 00:32:47 a critical step to protect workers' economic security. Putting families first, our legislation protects our children, and particularly the tens of millions of little children who rely on the free or reduced-price lunch they receive at school. Yeah, listen, it's good to see that Republicans and Democrats can work together to do what's right for the American people because, you know, that's a nice bipartisan bill that will help Americans that need it
Starting point is 00:33:09 because you can't have a party at war, two parties at war with each other, not working with each other because all that does is hurt us. Now, according to Donald Trump, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing relief to renters and homeowners. They're suspending all foreclosures and evictions
Starting point is 00:33:23 until the end of April. So you have some time for people who are concerned about that. But, you know, come April, we got to figure out what's also going to happen. But I guess as long as people are still getting some type of income, you know, we'll see what happens with that. Now, a lot of people are also wondering, why is it that it seems that celebrities and athletes
Starting point is 00:33:41 are having access to these coronavirus tests more than the average person, even if you have symptoms. And here's how Donald Trump responded to that. How are non-symptomatic professional athletes getting tests while others are waiting in line and can't get them? Do the well-connected go to the front of the line? Well, you'd have to ask them that question. Perhaps that's been the story of life.
Starting point is 00:34:04 That does happen on occasion. and I've noticed where some people have been tested fairly quickly. We inherited a very obsolete system. Trump basically said some people are VIP and some people aren't. That's life. It's the truth. It's effed up, but it's the truth. That's a great question because I asked that question on this radio about three days ago.
Starting point is 00:34:20 All the celebs, the athletes, the big time record executives getting tested, but the general public is not. How does that work? I don't know. All right. Now, Nike and Phil Knight has committed more than $15 million in aid for coronavirus. So they're committing that money for the response for coronavirus. And another issue is in U.S. jails.
Starting point is 00:34:40 There's a lot of heightened concern about an unprepared system as the first known cases of coronavirus in the U.S. federal correctional system emerged yesterday. So there's some issues with that, too. Now what's going to happen? They said that the NBA hired a private lab. So that's how they're doing. They hired their own private labs. So what about the record executives like Irving Azoff and all of them people like that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:02 They hired private people, too? They might have. They might have. They might have. Just like, you know, when, you remember when the fires were burning out in LA and Kanye hired
Starting point is 00:35:10 his own private fire department just to protect his house? You know the house? I mean, you got money, you can do things like that. The privileged have their privileges. You're right. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:35:18 And about the prison thing, it's easier to quarantine people in prison, right? It is. I would think so. But they said they're letting people go. Did I hear Bloomberg was donating money to Africa this time?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Was that a lie? $40 million, I think, to help stop the spread of it in Africa or something like that. Don't get me in a line. I just saw the headline briefly. Well, in New York City, they are going to begin releasing inmates because of the coronavirus outbreak. According to the mayor, Bill de Blasio, he plans to release vulnerable inmates from city jails to prevent the spread of coronavirus pandemic into local lockups. So he said within the next 48 hours,
Starting point is 00:35:53 they'll identify any inmates who need to be brought out because of their own health conditions or pre-existing conditions as well. Yes. And you're right. That's Bloomberg. He's working with the World Health Organization and he pledged $40 million to fight coronavirus in Africa and around the world.
Starting point is 00:36:09 All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. Now, when we come back, it's Throwback Thursday. It is Throwback Thursday. Drew Hill will be joining us. And I think it's very important to note and let people know that a lot of these interviews that we're playing are definitely pre-recorded. Nobody is coming in this week. I saw somebody highly upset
Starting point is 00:36:28 saying that we weren't practicing social distancing. Yes. Okay, trust me. I would not be standing next to no goddamn Drew Hill at a time like this. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:36 They actually came last week and a lot of these artists came last week. Everybody came last week. Nobody has been here this week. Just me and Shelly, man. And Eddie. And Eddie. The guy that y'all keep clown Just me and Shalaman. And Eddie. And Eddie.
Starting point is 00:36:45 The guy that y'all keep clowning over and over and over. Y'all be making the funniest memes at Eddie, bro. Yeah, they do. All right. But, Drew Hill, when we come back, it's Throwback Thursday. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Yo, where I want to be? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Shalaman the guy. We are The right back. is going on here. What the hell? The schedule says Drew Hill is here and I see two brothers I never met before named Smoke and Black. Right, right. Well, this is,
Starting point is 00:37:30 like you said, Envy, Drew Hill season five. We have become the group that we, that I never thought we would be. The group that breaks up
Starting point is 00:37:41 and here we are. This is Black. This is Smoke originally from the group Player. Okay. We were under the same label, Def Jam. And we were on tour way back then. We always been, you know, like brothers. And when the last time we saw y'all, you know, we was, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:03 I thought we was a tight-knit unit. Y'all came up here together. All y'all came up here together, right? Yeah. Well, y'all, they wasn't here yet. No, they wasn't here. It was the real. Because Jazz was still here.
Starting point is 00:38:13 No, we had a new guy. Yeah, you did. And replacing Woody, right? Right, right. Can we say this right now? Woody asked me this personally. I spoke to Woody for like an hour and some change the other day. He don't want to have anything to do with Drew Hill.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Yeah. Okay. He wants us to keep our names out of his mouth, all of that. He don't want to have. Was this an aggressive conversation? Kind of, sort of, yeah. I think it was aggressive. It wasn't keep my fucking name
Starting point is 00:38:48 out your mouth. Something like that. No, you know, he's real spiritual. Keep my goddamn name out your mouth. That's exactly what he said. No, but he said,
Starting point is 00:38:59 yo, and I was like, dude, you know, I understand because he wanted me to stop saying that I did my solo project because he left the group. And I was like, yo, that's facts. That's the truth. When I did my solo album, it was out of necessity.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It was after you left the group. And that's true. That's what I've been saying from day one. The truth don't change. Right. Now, why he left the group changed a couple times. I'm not, he ain't here to defend himself, so I'm not going to say what was true. Yeah, we definitely didn't keep his name out of it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 No, no, no. Let's continue. No, no, because I want to say the whole story now. So we don't have to say no more. Should we give him a code name after going forward? Nah. Woody left the group 20 years ago. He ain't never coming back.
Starting point is 00:39:48 He don't ever want to come back. And he hates the fact that he was even in the group and everything that came with it. The money too? He was like, get this platinum plaque off my face. I said silver platter, not platinum platter.
Starting point is 00:40:03 So he won't be in the movie? Oh, no. Well, they got to get people to reenact this for the movie. I mean, he's not going to participate in doing the biopic or... Well, him or Jazz
Starting point is 00:40:13 haven't signed the contract yet. Wow. What did Jazz... And that was another one. We asked Jazz to come back. What was it, Kevin? Like last week? Two weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:40:23 we asked Jazz to come back and he's been gone for like two years and that was how Smokin' Black ended up coming to the group because when we were singing it was difficult for me to do what I was doing on stage and pick up Jazz's notes and everything
Starting point is 00:40:38 so Nokia ended up calling Smokin' Black they ended up you know picking up the slack for Jazz and so when whatever went down with Note ended up calling Smokin' Black. They ended up, you know, picking up the slack for jazz. And so, when whatever went down with Note... So what happened with jazz?
Starting point is 00:40:50 He just didn't want to come back anymore? Jazz tired of being called the fat one. That's what jazz tired of. Jazz is tired of motherfuckers saying
Starting point is 00:40:55 Drew Hill, Cisco, Nokia, the fat one. He tired of that shit. I don't blame him. I probably do jazz more than you do.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Jazz hit me all the time about real estate. All the time. Jazz is heavy into real estate. Is he? Yeah, absolutely. You know that? That's news do. Jazz hit me all the time about real estate. All the time. Jazz is heavy into real estate. Is he? Yeah, absolutely. You know that?
Starting point is 00:41:07 Uh-uh. News to me. No, all the time. Hit me all about deals. And maybe that's why he don't want to see you no more. All the time. I don't know. But when he asked us to, I mean, when we asked him to come back, after being gone for two
Starting point is 00:41:21 years, it was like, we was like, okay, look, if you're going to come back, we need you to sign like a temporary contract. So we know you at least going to get on the plane before we just give you this money. And instead of signing the contract, he had a contract of his own. So he's basically like, you know, showed up after two years with an empty bag, like put it in here. And I'm like, come on, man. That's not good business. I can't do that. So you own the name Drew Hill? Currently,
Starting point is 00:41:50 me and Kevin owns it. And Kevin Peck. And Nokia is still an owner of the name Drew Hill. Alright, we got more with Drew Hill when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy and Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:42:07 We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Drew Hill. What's up with Nokia? Yeah, what's up with Nokia? You ain't tell us what happened to him. Did he get voted off the island too, Cisco? Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I just got something to do. Cisco, it might be you, sir. Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Let's be clear. I feel like a survivor's telling the story. What's going on? I need to hear from another guy.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Let's be clear. Every person that left Drew Hill left Drew Hill. We didn't kick. We only let one member go. The original members of the group left on their own volition. And, you know, I can only, the best way to say it is this. I feel as if the reason why the guys left is because the ultimatums that was given for them to stay in the group was more focused on things that was personal to them. Whereas anytime I've done anything outside of the group, it never affected the group in a negative way.
Starting point is 00:43:08 And anytime I'm with the group, like, for instance, I didn't want to sing in my bed. Why not? It was like talking about somebody sleeping in my bed. Like, I didn't want to, you know what I mean? I felt like, you know. I thought that was the whole point. It was about a song about infidelity, right? But, I mean, dude, it was like, I didn't want to, it didn't sound enough like Jodeci,
Starting point is 00:43:25 for one, and I was doing my best Jodeci impression, would tell me. And then it was like, you know, nobody was sleeping in my bed that I knew of, so I wasn't really, I didn't want to sing. You couldn't relate to it. I couldn't. I couldn't, but. Dope record, though. Well, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:41 a lot of people sang that record, too. 112, I heard, sang it. Jagged Edge sang it. I believe it's a version with Usher on it. But it never clicked. And, you know, the group said they wanted to sing the record. So, Squad First, that's how I rock. So, we sang the song.
Starting point is 00:44:00 It ended up being a hit. And the remix. Yeah, I did the remix. Remix five. The So So Def remix. Yeah, I did the remix. Remix 5. The So So Deaf remix. Yeah, I didn't get paid for that. That was fun. JD didn't pay you for that one? Well, I mean, because you don't get paid for arrangement, which I learned
Starting point is 00:44:14 later. And that was the other thing, man. Because, I'm going to bring Woody up again. Woody, because he... He gave you instructions. Woody already told you what not to do. Say sycamore tree or something. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:44:29 Sycamore tree. Alright, well, I have to say jazz. Say flaccid instead of Woody. He's stupid. He's stupid, man. Woody right now gonna get you. He is. He is. He gonna pray on you.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Yo, but he, well, no, let's say like that. Like basically a lot of the group members felt as if somebody had put like money and resources behind me with my solo project. And I want to clear this up once and for all so everybody knows. When we were on Def Jam, Def Jam was... We had just got on Def Jam, and hip-hop was, like, taboo. Like, a lot of the industry felt like it was a fad,
Starting point is 00:45:18 like it wasn't going to stay around. So when they had Drew Hill, us and Def Jam had history. We're making money. So they wanted a new Drew Hill, us and Def Jam had history. We're making money. So they wanted a new Drew Hill album. Unfortunately, when Woody quit the group, it was like when we went on tour, the crowd started dwindling because it was like, that's not Drew Hill.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Just like when you walked in, you're like, that's not the Drew Hill I know. We had just did the Wild Wild West. If you look at the video, you'll see it's four of us in the beginning, only three of us at the end. Will Smith said, Cisco, Cisco. I saw an opportunity. I was like, yo, we finishing our tour. A lot of people not coming.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Maybe I should do a solo album. So everybody was like, whatever. All right, fine. Everybody was like, okay, well, we all work on solo projects. So Will Smith broke up Drew Hill? Exactly. Cisco, Cisco. It wasn't.
Starting point is 00:46:16 No, I just saw the opportunity, and so I was like, I asked the label, could I do a solo album? They were not interested. They wanted to do a Drew Hill album. So I borrowed some money from our manager, Kevin Peck. I went, I did my album with Thonesong and all of that on it. I sold the album back to Def Jam. I got a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I got Woody some money, Jazz some money, Noak some money, even Kevin some money off of my deal. And then I went and did my solo album. Wow. So I made an opportunity and made sure everybody ate but the way that they tell a story is as if the label pushed me
Starting point is 00:46:54 as a solo artist. They did not. I created an opportunity. Secondly, opportunities were created for both both Jazz and Woody who wanted to do a solo project, but they, for whatever reason, those opportunities didn't pan out the same way. And now, 20 years later, it's like, and they wanted Cisco the whole time
Starting point is 00:47:15 and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, nah, they didn't. I made an opportunity. So you have to be able to see the opportunities. Like I was saying earlier, it was like, you know, we handed a record career for Woody on a platinum platter.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Get that platinum platter off my face. I said silver platter. You know what I mean? It's like, you gotta, in this business, especially in this business, you gotta figure out how to make it work. They didn't want my hair blonde. They didn't want no Cisco album. That's why I got no features on my album.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Only features, I think it was like Beanie Cebu and that's a Def Jam artist. It wasn't because they thought it was hot. They was breaking Beanie on my album. So at the end of the day, there was no favoritism. There was no plan for my solo project. And everybody got paid. Now niggas got amnesia now and forgot that it was a bunch of money.
Starting point is 00:48:11 How much you get? I don't talk numbers, but... Grab what Nokia? Nope. What Nokia is... He don't want to be around... You. Well, maybe.
Starting point is 00:48:23 You keep saying Drew Hill. I think it's you He didn't say that In his interview In his interview He said he didn't want to be Around our manager Kevin
Starting point is 00:48:30 Okay Right And Kevin's been there since What's Kevin do to him? Kevin what'd you do Kevin? What'd you do Kevin? They don't like that It's all about this
Starting point is 00:48:38 No Wait Wait Let's be clear Remember when I said I borrowed money For my solo album From Kevin Right From Kevin When nobody was Messing with me Wait, wait, let's be clear. Remember when I said I borrowed money for my solo album from Kevin?
Starting point is 00:48:45 Right. From Kevin. When nobody was messing with me or my album, Kevin loaned me the money. I did the album with Thonesong and all that on it. I came back to Kevin and said, yo, I got this fire. Let's go eat. Like, put your money to use. That's smart.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I did it. Thank you. Let's go eat. Kevin said, no. If I go with you, the guys are going to believe that I love you over them and I love y'all the same. So I'm going to stay here and tough it out with them. Can you imagine? He known us since 14.
Starting point is 00:49:20 He taught me everything I knew to get to the point that I got to. I own my own masters now. I was one of the youngest CEOs in the game. Everybody that's got their own label now, that was from the business model that I was a part of, like figuring out how to own your own masters and have your own label and have your own artists. And he wasn't even a part of that.
Starting point is 00:49:39 He stayed back with Drew Hill, and now fast forward 20 years later, and everybody got a problem with whatever it was that they felt like that he did. And the problem that I had with Note was his, the question is this, what you want to do is it for you, the betterment of you
Starting point is 00:50:00 or is it for the betterment of the squad? And everybody, if you look at everybody's different collective stories or separate stories, you'll hear that everything they say is all about them. When he says that he don't want Kevin to come out on the road, that puts a lot of pressure on me. I already got to do a lot on stage. So now when he go home, the only person that don't smoke or drink,
Starting point is 00:50:23 we like to smoke and drink and party, so you want me to send the designated driver home and then you're supposed to drive the car? Like, I can't do that. That's not good business. Because now I got to go behind everybody. So not only do I got to perform, now I got to go behind everybody, make sure the flights, make sure this. I can't do that. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:50:40 All right, we got more with Drew Hill when we come back. Let's get into a Drew Hill mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, question.
Starting point is 00:50:55 How are people receiving the new members of Drew Hill? Well, it's all about, at first, it's like, who are those guys? Because I think they think you jazz sometimes. Jazz lost weight. He looks like he's getting a birthday mouth. So when we first come out, they be like, you know what I mean? You see like a little bit of resistance. And then when they find out that it's player,
Starting point is 00:51:23 and then we like sing a little bit of Cheers to You, then they start to warm up. But then when we get into those hits and, you know, it's still sing, they be like, oh, okay, well, all right, well, I guess this the new season five. Well, let's get some history on Player. Were you guys signed to Jodeci or to Timbaland
Starting point is 00:51:41 or how did that work? We was, this is Black, we was initially in the beginning signed to Devonze at the basement. Okay, from Jodeci. Yeah, we met, we groomed ourselves with Missy, Timbaland, Magoo, Ginuwine, and then after that we went to Def Jam, signed to Def Jam.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And after that we ended up signing with Blackground, with Aaliyah. So you guys did a lot behind the scenes as far as production, writing, and all of that. When Jodeci sounded different on the third album, that was them.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Oh, the show The After Party at the Hotel? That was them. And you had something to do with Pony, too, right? That's them singing on the back. Pony's so anxious.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Aaliyah's music. Aaliyah's black album. Anytime you hear a male voice, that's them on there. So y'all got writing credits on all them songs, too? Oh, so y'all good then.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Bless. Yeah. Y'all still getting publishing checks and everything. Now I box money. Did you guys have any like thoughts when Cisco first
Starting point is 00:52:34 asked you to join? It was Noke. Noke asked. Oh, it was Noke who asked. Okay. So what were your thoughts when you first
Starting point is 00:52:39 got the request? They left? Damn. Did you feel like automatically it would be a good idea? He's shaking his head. you feel like automatically it would be a good idea? He's shaking his head. Did it feel like
Starting point is 00:52:47 it would be a good idea or did you feel like let me think about this? Was it an automatic yes or was it a I'm not sure? Well, this is Smoke. I'm a very,
Starting point is 00:52:56 you know, I got to think. Sometimes I overthink. So I definitely had to, you know, take a pause for the cause and say, hmm, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:03 how could this be? How could we make this work? But, I mean, like you said, we've been knowing them for over 20 years. We're like brothers. So when it comes to the singing, that's what we do. That ain't nothing but something to do. But my only thing that I could come up with, and I told Black and I spoke with Kev, I spoke with Noga, I spoke with Cisco. I said, the only thing that I am concerned with is I do not want to tank or, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:28 not focus on in some type of way, shape, form, or fashion player legacy. I definitely want to keep that intact. But as long as we do that, super groupie shit, let's do what we got. Like when y'all thought Lil Wayne could sing, that was them. Shawty wanna die.
Starting point is 00:53:44 But I'm a static major. God rest his soul. Question. Are y'all afraid of this game of musical chairs that Drew Hill is playing? Like, you scared you'll get voted off the island? He does never say that. You keep saying we ain't voting nobody out. I'm going to tell you, I'm not afraid.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Well, for one, I'm not afraid of getting voted off the island because there's only one member that got voted off the island. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know, very, to me, valid reason why I got voted of the island because there's only one member that got voted out of the island. To me, valid reason why I got voted out of the island. Everybody else left by their own choice. But, I mean, we brothers, I mean, it's like this, because I'm not
Starting point is 00:54:17 acting like they ain't brothers. I'm just saying it's about business. And we've got a tight bond and we handle like it needs to be handled. And we've got a tight bond and we handle shit like it needs to be handled. When we out on the road, it's positive, it's productive.
Starting point is 00:54:31 You know, the energy is right. And I mean, we just do what we gotta do. I mean, I try to make sure every day, even though y'all may not notice that I'm an asset.
Starting point is 00:54:40 That's just me. You know, I'm gonna pick up, you drop something, come here, here it is. I'm just like that. know? I'm going to pick up. You drop something, come here. I didn't hear that. I'm just like that. So I want to make sure that everybody's comfortable,
Starting point is 00:54:49 make sure the energy's tight. And like I told them, I don't do goofy shit. I don't like, you know, in my environment to be goofy. So we try to keep everything. You know what I'm just saying? We try to keep everything
Starting point is 00:55:00 like it's supposed to be. I think it's simple as this, man. You got to play your position. You know what I'm saying? Everybody can't beat Steph Curry, Steph Curry, or Jordan. Somebody got to beat Pippen. Somebody got to beat Draymond. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:55:13 So I just play my position. You know what I'm saying? That's all I do. I come to work every day with a smile on my face, a smile on my heart, blessed to still be able to do what I love to do for over 20 years. And be compensated for it. You know, I believe if you play your position, you show your worth.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Somebody got to rebound the ball. Everybody can't shoot. Why not create a new group? Like TGT the situation or LSG. Why not create something new? Because we got all those hits. People want to hear the hits. When we show up, as long as it sounds like the hits
Starting point is 00:55:45 they pretty much they still do it though even when they do the who is it I've been asked to be in a couple different groups however I feel like if I was the abandoned Drew Hill that I helped create then they win
Starting point is 00:56:01 I want it my way it's like well why'd you join a group then? You didn't want to be in the group saying the only way I'm going to come out is if you uncomfortable. It's like, how is that a group mentality? Right. At the end of the day, I turn down a lot of solo things to make sure that the brand, you know, still you know, is still out there. What's going on with the biopic? So everybody
Starting point is 00:56:28 I would assume has to sign on in order for it to get done? Nah. There's ways around that. I mean, they can say, look, it's a check. Hey, Jazz, Woody, it's a check if y'all want to sign on. And if not, then... Jazz, you better sign off or they get Ruben Studded to play. It's going to be bad.
Starting point is 00:56:46 He'll be sorry for 2020. He's f***ed up, man. What network is it going to be on? I believe it's TV One. Yeah, because that's what Unsung is on. I find it very interesting. That was a very interesting story that you had to make your own solo album, fund it yourself, and sell it to Def Jam.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Because I would think that would be a no-brainer for Def Jam to say, let's to make your own solo album, fund it yourself, and sell it to Def Jam because I would think that would be a no-brainer for Def Jam to say, let's put out a Cisco solo album. They didn't, they were new to, Def Jam was new to the R&B game.
Starting point is 00:57:12 They only knew hip-hop. They wanted the Drew Hill album. Well, that was Case, they had Case and... Yeah. Well, and that was, yeah. Back when we was on Def Jam, man, we did,
Starting point is 00:57:20 majority of our shows was... Hip-hop show. ...was with hip rappers. So we would spend the first, if we did a 20-minute set, we'd spend the first if we did a 20 minute set we'd spend the first 15 minutes winning the crowd over because they came
Starting point is 00:57:28 to see DMX you know what I'm saying which prepared me for where we at now you know what I'm saying because you might be looking for the original members but
Starting point is 00:57:35 by the middle of the show you know I'm a saint you know I sang for my heart so by the end of the show my job is to win you over so that's why I come here
Starting point is 00:57:44 you know what I'm saying we would be at shows and doing like meet and greets and people would think by the end of the show, my job is to win you over. So that's why I come here. Man, we would be at shows and doing like meeting greats of people. We'd be both f***ing young twins. We could already sign. Well, let's see how this mix sound together, man.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Yeah, let's hear something before we get about it. Let's hear it. Walks by me every day Hair and love are the same The woman that's stolen my heart And beauty is her name Well, I hope that I can make you mine
Starting point is 00:58:19 For another man steals your heart And once there's beauty in mine, I swear we will never be apart. Okay. All right, I'm not mad at that. I wouldn't know. Drew Hill, ladies and gentlemen. I wouldn't know the difference. Drew Hill, it's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Good morning. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report withela yee on the breakfast club now if you haven't had a chance to do this i highly recommend it debbie allen hosted a dance class on instagram live so i don't know if y'all saw that but uh she's a choreographer as you know and it was amazing i was actually participating in that did y'all, as you know, and it was amazing. I was actually participating in that. Did y'all see that? No.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Somebody should introduce Queen Debbie to TikTok. Debbie Allen would kill on TikTok. But she did a whole Instagram live class, and she was just teaching you all her dance moves, and then they was doing fame and everything. So you can still see it online, by the way. You participated in that? I ain't never seen you dance. No, I did.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I was doing all the... It's like a little workout. When you saw that dance... I will do a workout in a heartbeat and do a class. Where can we see this? Well, you can't see me doing it. I'm watching her on Instagram Live. And so I participated.
Starting point is 00:59:38 So you can go on live and do it. It's fun. All right. Also, Chance the Rapper is concerned about the closings and cancellations for movie theaters and as you know a lot of the movie theater companies had to shut down uh just because of coronavirus and so they've been releasing their movie titles to streaming services to continue to make money on these investments according to the nbc universal ceo jeff shell he said universal pictures has a broad and diverse range of movies,
Starting point is 01:00:05 with 2020 being no exception. Rather than delaying these films or releasing them into a challenged distribution landscape, we wanted to provide an option for people to view these titles in the home that is both accessible and affordable. So Chance the Rapper's concerned now that are people going to go back to the movie theaters after this? He said, when this whole thing is said and done,
Starting point is 01:00:23 I hope we all start going to the movie theater again. There's some likelihood that this will be the end of the cinema and a huge push for studios to go fully video on demand and streaming. It's definitely the way of the future. I just hope we have more time. That's inevitable though. I mean, somebody came to me with that idea six, seven years ago. It's almost virtually impossible
Starting point is 01:00:39 to do because no studio is going to give you the rights to their movies. But yeah, that's inevitable. Like when a movie comes out on a Friday, if I can order it at home, I think that makes sense. Absolutely. I think so. That's absolutely inevitable. But there's also just the experience. And I
Starting point is 01:00:55 realize how movie theaters are so different now, right? There's a lot more that doesn't have as much seating, but then they have the experience of being able to order food and drinks from your seat and all of that. We got that at the house. We got food and drinks at the house. I got cheaper candy. Yeah, but you know what? You could also
Starting point is 01:01:11 people go out and have bars, go to bars and have drinks and that's a lot more expensive than being at home. But what I'm saying is there's a lot of things we could do at home, but the experience of going out sometimes is really nice. So we just don't want to lose that. And I've been thinking about that,
Starting point is 01:01:27 because when you think about trying to avoid public places, just because even with shootings and things like that, it's like, no, I'm cool with the house. Yeah, I'm pretty good at that. If I can get the movie, yeah, I'm good. I'm right there. I'm good. Oh, God. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Well, let's talk about Red Table Talk. So they did a coronavirus emergency edition of Red Table Talk to talk about everything. And Jaden Smith was not there. Here's what happened, according to Jada. Jaden is not here with us today because he is actually being a responsible young person. He is practicing social distancing. He's been doing a lot of traveling and his main concern has been about gammy so he has decided to stay indoors and he's actually following so why the rest of them not listening all of them he's been well i guess he's been traveling more than they have maybe he feels you know maybe they're all on lockdown together.
Starting point is 01:02:26 So you look at Will Smith Instagram. He ain't never in America seem like. No, well, he got enough money where he could just test himself. I'm sure he got to test himself. Test himself. All right. Well, here is what Will Smith has to say about social distancing and how important it is right now. Imagine our local hospital can handle 40 respiratory patients at one time. The way the virus is moving and the reason why we need to practice social distancing
Starting point is 01:02:54 and the idea of flattening the curve is if 50 people show up at that hospital at one time to get 40 beds. Yeah. Now you have 10 people in critical condition that aren't time to get 40 beds. Yeah. Now you have 10 people in critical condition that aren't going to get help. And your mortality rate shoots through the roof. That's the idea of overwhelming the system.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Told y'all this last week, but you know, I'm just Lenard. Nobody listens to me. We listen to Will Smith. We say, yes, Will Smith. Alright, now Little Baby has addressed some rumors. People were saying that he is abusing drugs and he's on Percocets and all of that. Part of that is because of the interview he did on The Breakfast Club. There's a point where he is trying to pour water out of a closed water bottle.
Starting point is 01:03:38 I felt like he was just a little, like, nervous, not wanting to answer questions. As he said, he hates doing interviews. And so he just was kind of playing with the water bottle but it turned into a viral situation for him well he posted i don't take percocets he wants people to know that in addition he has announced that he has a mixtape that's going to only feature rappers who own lambos Lambos. Drop mid-take on like 60 Day, Lamborghini Boy, and then bust some all the rap who got Lamborghinis features.
Starting point is 01:04:09 I'm putting features on them. I think that he should limit it to the rappers who don't have payments that they're making on their Lamborghini. If your Lamborghini
Starting point is 01:04:17 is paid for, you can be featured on the album. I think that'll shorten that list real quick. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee. Wow.
Starting point is 01:04:24 And that is your rumor report. What you looking at? You just gonna cough like that? A brother can't even just cough nowadays? No, you can't cough. Lord have mercy.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Wipe something over there, man. Here, here's a Clorox, man. What am I gonna wipe? I don't know. I coughed in my arm. Just wipe something. I don't know. I feel like I should
Starting point is 01:04:41 wipe you down. I'll take a wipe down. You know what? Forget it. I can pretend you're a nurse. You have these sick fantasies, bro. You offered. Don't offer to boost me.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And then when I say, okay. You got some sick fantasies. You offered to wipe me down. Who are you giving your donkey to, man? You know, there's a no-lip woman out here. All right? Her name is Linda Fairstein. I call her Linda.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Well, Fairstein. I call her Linda, not Fairstein. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. You remember her, right? She's the prosecutor who sent us to Central Park Five. Yep. Let's talk about her.
Starting point is 01:05:10 All right, we'll get into that next. Lippless Linda. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass.
Starting point is 01:05:21 You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They have to make a judgment on who's going to be on the Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 01:05:37 They chose you. To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, March 19th goes to former Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor Linda Farristein. Now, you know who Linda Farristein is, right? I call her Linda not Farristein. If you watched Ava DuVernay's Netflix series When They See Us, she's the white woman with absolutely no lips who oversaw the prosecution team seeking convictions of the five teens arrested for the rape and near fatalfatal beating of jogger Trish Mealy in 1989. Now, we all know the story of the Central Park Five, right?
Starting point is 01:06:09 If not, quick recap. Five black and Latino teens, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusuf Salam, Raymond Santana, and Corey Wise. We're dropping the clues bombs for all those brothers, okay? At the time, they were ranging in age from 14 to 16. They all served sentences that ranged from 6 to 13 years for what then New York City Mayor Ed Koch called the crime of the century. Yes, it was a very heinous crime, and the perpetrators of that crime should have been behind bars. But guess what? Those brothers weren't the prosecutors. And once new DNA evidence was presented and a confession, a whole confession, okay, proved convicted rapist Matias Rees was the true lone culprit.
Starting point is 01:06:46 The charges against the five men were dropped, and they eventually received a $41 million settlement from New York City. They innocent, period, okay, to everybody but Linda Ferenstein. Because even though all the evidence says otherwise and the actual perpetrator of the crime has come forward and said it was him and DNA proves it was him. Linda still says no, it's them. And yesterday, she filed a federal lawsuit against the director of When They See Us, Queen Ava DuVernay. Drop one of Clues bombs for Queen Ava DuVernay. Damn it.
Starting point is 01:07:15 Come on, man. Queen Ava DuVernay. She filed a lawsuit against Ava DuVernay and Netflix. The carcassity, the unmitigated gall of those with no melanin will never cease to amaze me. Linda is suing saying she was portrayed as a racist. She's suing saying she was portrayed as an unethical
Starting point is 01:07:33 villain who was determined to jail innocent children of color at any cost. In the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Linda Knott-Ferstein objects to nearly every single aspect of the case as is portrayed in the series She denies taking any of the following actions like unlawfully Interrogating unaccompanied minors, even though we saw a video of this calling for a roundup of young black thugs
Starting point is 01:07:55 Manipulating the time to pin the joggers rape on the central park five. She's denying all of that She's denying referring to people of color as animals. She's denying directing NYPD detectives to coerce confessions. What's the word? Coerce. Coerce. Confessions. What did I say? Coerced.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Okay. You know what I meant. Okay. And suppressing DNA evidence. Now, it's clear she did these things, especially suppressing the DNA evidence, because it's the DNA evidence that eventually got them off. Linda, you know, she says that since when they see us was released, her career as a prolific crime author has been destroyed.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Her publisher and agents dropped her. She lost speaking appearances and was forced to resign from the boards of several nonprofit organizations. Linda, lipless, we don't care. Okay, how can you fix your lipless mouth to act like you got done wrong when you sent a bunch of innocent teenagers to prison for years? The Central Park Five will be forever traumatized. They can never get that time back.
Starting point is 01:08:53 And they saw things in that prison that will live with them and haunt them forever. They will need therapy for the rest of their lives. Nothing wrong with that, okay? But still, they will need therapy for the rest of their lives. Okay? Not just going willingly, but going because they need it because Nothing wrong with that, okay? But still, they will need therapy for the rest of their lives, okay? Not just going willingly, but going because they need it because they're traumatized. While you're out here doing deals and getting money,
Starting point is 01:09:17 those brothers are out here trying to repair the emotional and mental damage that you did to their lives, okay? Those brothers will probably never be fully mentally healthy because of you, no-lip lender, because of you and your bigotry. One of the brothers, Santana Raymond, actually posted this on IG on March 1st to prove my point. He said, healing doesn't mean that the damage never existed. It means that the damage doesn't control our lives. And he said,
Starting point is 01:09:35 um, see to God, that's me. He said, thank you, my brother for this. And then he thanked his wife delicious. And he went on to say that he always knew he suffered from mental health
Starting point is 01:09:43 issues, but like other men in our communities, he thought he didn't need help or that he could just handle it. But today he realized he was wrong and he's going to get the help he needs. Drop on the clues bombs for Raymond Santana. I mean, Santana Raymond, OK, for investing in his mental wealth. But lipless Linda, not Fairstein. This is all your fault. OK, his trauma, majority of his trauma is directly your fault.
Starting point is 01:10:04 So how dare you have to call Cassidy that no-melanated, unmitigated gall to sue? You should be praying for repentance. You should be admitting you're wrong instead of continuing to double down like you've historically done. Listen to lipless Linda on Fox Business News. I think I know what happened. I can live with what happened very, very comfortably. And what I would like is for an unsealing of all the records that have been sealed for 12 years and let academics and journalists put the record before the public. What do you think happened?
Starting point is 01:10:32 I think that these men were participants in the attack on the jogger as charged. Even though the city has now made a $40 million settlement with them? Yes, sir. Jesus. Even though there was a convicted rapist in prison who admitted to it and his DNA was found on the victim. Lipless Linda.
Starting point is 01:10:54 No, no, and no. The proof is in the prison sentences. Those kids were innocent and you still convicted them. There's nothing else to discuss here. This is why you gotta chase Yacoub's kids back in their caves. Linda, shut your piehole because that's literally all it is because you have no lips. Shut that prejudice pie hole and figure out a way to spend the rest of your life righting the wrong you did to these young men.
Starting point is 01:11:13 And who knows how many other black and Latino kids. Okay, you probably got a lot of blood and a lot of unjust prison sentences on your hand.

Starting point is 01:14:54 Yeah, but don't wear a mask though because you're cute. You got to be seen. You better stop it. You better wear a mask. That's some good advice Angelina gave though because everybody's going to be in the house for the next couple weeks trying to make new friends. That's right. After this Corona season, you can get, you know, you can get cuffed up, but I'm going to tell you something, 4'11", 160-something pounds,
Starting point is 01:15:10 I know a beanbag chair when I see one. Oh, stop it, man. 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 Antilla Yee. It's Ask
Starting point is 01:15:25 Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This is me, bro, from Ypsilanti, Michigan. What's up, bro? What's your question for Yee? Ypsi. What's up? I just wanted to say I hated
Starting point is 01:15:41 that Corona didn't get you up there. You were supposed to come over here and talk to the kids, man. We appreciate you. Yeah, I know, man. First of all, he worded that all wrong. I know, I know. Hey, Envy, I'm sorry that the coronavirus didn't get you up here. I was like, what?
Starting point is 01:15:53 I was like, what? Don't start with your molded booty cakes, man. Don't start. That's how the coronavirus started, the molded booty cakes. Stop it. According to Donnell Rollins, that's how they started. Yeah, I was supposed to go out there and talk to the kids in Detroit, man, and I was really looking forward to it. But because of the coronavirus, they canceled it. According to Donnell Rollins, that's how they stop it. Yeah, I was supposed to go out there and talk to the kids in Detroit, man, and I was really looking forward to it, but because of the coronavirus,
Starting point is 01:16:08 they canceled it. So hopefully we'll get back up there when all this is over and get a chance to talk to the kids about everything, man. I was looking forward to it, too. Definitely, definitely. The kids are excited. But my question for you, and y'all probably can chime in. My son, Kid J, sometimes I tag y'all in it. I don't know if y'all see it. I know y'all busy, you know, but
Starting point is 01:16:24 he just got verified on Instagram, just turned 20. He just got his own charity event and everything going, but he's a positive hip-hop artist. My question is, how do I break the mold, you know, without having to flash drugs and guns in a video? What angle do I take to the music world with me being his manager for these last five years? And we've been making big moves, doing shows with T.I.,
Starting point is 01:16:44 you know, Swista, Ice Cube you know but he's a he's more of a he's more of a uh he want to push more substance back in music and I don't I you know I sometimes I get confused on the angle I suppose it take because I'm not going the way that everybody going I'm not pushing drugs in the music I'm not pushing guns in my video I'm trying to do something different. Well yeah and there's definitely an audience for that and there's other artists who also push positive messages, and so I think that's important, too, and music substance is important.
Starting point is 01:17:12 So, has he been performing? You said he's been performing at a lot of showcases? Yeah, we did. You know, we fired him. You know, we've been in New York. We've been in Atlanta. We've done big shows. Like I said, he just got verified on Instagram a couple. I tag Charlamagne all the time. He don't like none of my stuff, but that's cool. But no, anyway, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 01:17:28 But he's doing a lot of positive things. You haven't even said his name this whole time. The whole time. Terrible manager you are. No, you did. Kid J. You said Kid J or something like that. He did say his name.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Kid J, man. You know, I'm not trying. But I'm just trying to find out. You know, with me being his father, you know, I got other kids. And, you know, we got to split our time with our children. But he do have me busy and I'm wondering how do I go about, you know, that was my big question without trying to be like everybody else. I'm not a big fan of the new music. One thing I have to say, well, there's a few things I have to say here. Um, number one, do you have anybody that works with you that has experience in the music
Starting point is 01:18:05 business or that can be that, that help bridge for you to meet other people that are influential? I do. I grew up with Nisha Nishe, mom, you know, so I mess with Nisha a lot. You know, we grew up. Okay, that's my girl, Nisha Nishe. Shout out to Nisha. She from Ypsilanti also. That's what I said, but I was just, I got a lot of people in place.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I just, you know, wanted to get your perspective on it, Yee, because it's just, you know. I also feel like, how's this production? I feel like a producer is really important. And when you can lock in with a couple of producers who can help craft a person's sound, I think that's really beneficial to who also believes in the artist and has worked with other artists that can make those links. That's important. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:43 I appreciate y'all. All right, man. Tell the man I want a booty cake, man. How do I get one? Whoa. Well, first of all, you know, I could have told you that's how you make your way
Starting point is 01:18:53 in the industry from the start. You know what I'm saying? If you'd have led with that, then we could have told you how to really get on in this industry, all right? All right, all right. Hey, y'all have a good one.
Starting point is 01:19:02 This went left. Hopefully we get to see you. All right, brother. That's right. All right. All right. All right. Hey, y'all have a good one. Hopefully we get to see you. All right, brother. That's right. All right. Asking 800-585-1051. Rumors on the way. Don't move.
Starting point is 01:19:11 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 Eminem. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Got gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Yes, so as you know, Eminem had this Godzilla challenge that he was doing with Trilla. If you guys didn't remember, here it is. Fill him with the venom and eliminate him. Other words, I'm in a meeting. I don't want to hurt him, but I did him. In a fit of rage, I'm murdering him. Get him, but he will evade him. Godzilla challenge that he was doing with Trilla. If you guys didn't remember, here it is. Well, congratulations. They have announced a winner.
Starting point is 01:20:12 That winner is Jack Sherlock, one who got the number one spot. It's all lip syncing. So everybody had to actually lip sync in order to win. So they did have a link to Eminem's website. It has the five runner ups on there also. I don't know what they win, though. They didn't really say. So not sure what's going to happen with that.
Starting point is 01:20:30 But congratulations to Jack Sherlock. Now, a lot of people are doing their own coronavirus songs. I know you guys have heard Papoose by now, right? No, I haven't heard it, no. All right, well, here it is. I'm a virus, not the type of virus on your laptop. I'm rich people. I murdered a half-nast, they, here it is. I'm a virus, not the type of virus on your laptop. I'm rich people. I murdered a half-nast.
Starting point is 01:20:48 They had to call FEMA, not the FEMA in your leg. Federal Emergency Management Agency instead. They don't got enough ventilators, respirators to last. I already know how you look, why you wearing a mask. Took the kids out of school so they could stop learning. Took parents out of work so they can stop earning. Peace to Idris Elba. Y'all need a vaccine?
Starting point is 01:21:10 Stand by. Let's play a game of charades. Who am I? All right. Also, Cassidy did his. Listen to Cassidy's coronavirus bars. They told you it's a global outbreak. They know it's easy to manage, but see, they need you to panic.
Starting point is 01:21:24 It's all about cake. Some of my dogs found out, Lee. But now this is everywhere, like a dog you trying to housebreak. Wait, when my dogs smell meat, then you about to find out how human meat in this mouth tastes. I still feel coming out safe. It's something small. I was surprised how many people masked up I saw. So I had to make a couple calls and realize this incident is just to implement martial law.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Players touch the ball with the same hands they sneezing over. So the NBA shut down now and it's season over. All too lyrical, man. Papoose and Cassidy, a little bit too lyrical to be talking about coronavirus. You know what I mean? I prefer Cardi B. Coronavirus, it is real. That's the only warning call we need.
Starting point is 01:22:07 She didn't mean for that to be a song, though. It just happened for her. That shows the magic of Cardi B, though. People love Cardi B's personality so much that they take Cardi B content however they can get it. Alright, in addition, JoJo also did a coronavirus version of Leave, Get Out, and listen to this.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Nah, we cool. You ain't even got to play it. JoJo who? What is JoJo? Rev Run, son? No. Oh, never mind. What's wrong with you, man? I was like, why you being so disrespectful to JoJo?
Starting point is 01:22:33 No, I didn't want to hear Rev Run, son rap this morning. What did she do to you? Slew to my guy, JoJo, but I would have got sick if JoJo would have rapped. I didn't feel like it. Who want to hear JoJo rap early in the morning? I never thought Corona could be such a nasty bitch. But now that she's here, boy, all I want is for you to come and say, stay here right now. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:55 And speaking of coronavirus, Millennium Tour dates have been postponed due to coronavirus. I'm sure we knew that was going to happen. They already do have rescheduled dates. Tyra Banks also had to postpone the Model Land theme park opening over coronavirus as well. Now, here's something interesting. The Migos, they have agreed to pay back part of their Fyre Festival money. So apparently they got $30,000 and they actually had to pay that back. They were originally paid $100,000 to perform at Fyre Fest.
Starting point is 01:23:23 The performance never happened. So now they're paying back $30,000. The Migos shouldn't have paid nothing back. No, they get a deposit. So if it's a $100,000 show, don't you get like a $50,000 deposit? Yeah, well, I was trying to perform. Yeah, why do you have to pay money back? Well, they pay back some of the money, not all of it. So maybe you get the deposit and then you pay
Starting point is 01:23:40 back, you know, part of it. I thought you get the deposit up front and then you get the rest when you get there, unless they get all their money up front. That would make sense. Listen, for that one, I think a lot of people wanted their money up front for that one. And Fetty Wap has been ordered to pay his ex-employee $1.1 million and help restore her reputation.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Shawna Morgan actually had sued him and his company for not reimbursing her for all the money that she spent in touring costs. She was supposed to be paid between 5 and 10% of his performance profits, and she was actually fronting money for him to perform places, like for travel and for room and board and all of that, and then she never got the money as well.
Starting point is 01:24:16 So now he has to pay her $1.1 million. That's also for defamation and breach of contract. Not only that, but he also has to post public retractions on his social media accounts for things that he said about her. So he hasn't done that yet, but he'll have to do that. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now it's time for the People's Choice Mix.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Let me know what you want to hear. At DJ Envy, get your request in. You know what? Until this is over, I'm going to throw it back the first five, seven minutes of the other mix. Just some classics. Let me know what you want to hear. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. If you're buying a car, you don't want surprises, especially when it comes to price. With True Car, you get an upfront price online.
Starting point is 01:24:59 Before you buy a car, get the pricing information you need with the new True Car. Buy smarter, drive happier. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, it's Women's History Month.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Who are we repping today, Yee? Well, today we are representing for retired NASA astronaut Mae Jameson. She actually went into outer space in 1992. On September 12, 1992, she launched into orbit, and her voyage was eight days. Listen to Mae Jamison speak about it. It's Women's History Month, and we're celebrating the most influential women in history. Check out this phenomenal woman. Just like every kid, I loved space.
Starting point is 01:26:04 An African proverb says, no one shows a child the sky. But I grew up during this time that was incredible in terms of the work and the effort, the activities that were going on, because every day they were breaking speed records, right, whether it's on the land or ground or track or field. Every day, it seemed like there was a new particle being discovered. The reason why I'm doing this, the reason why I want to tell you this and where we're going to is because people talk about the good old days and the 1960s and Apollo, which was an incredible time. But Franz Fanon, who was a Martin Neacon psychiatrist in the 1950s and 60s, he said each generation must, out of relative obscurity,
Starting point is 01:26:47 discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it. We can't have the same mission that we had in the 1960s, whether it's social, cultural, whether it's environmental, or whether it's in space. And that was another phenomenal woman in history. Yes, so shout out to Mae Jamison. In addition to that, you know, she's also a doctor and a dancer. So she's a jack of all trades. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive note.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to Cisco and friends for joining us. The new Drew Hill. That's so disrespectful. It's the new Drew Hill and the members of Playa as well as Cisco from Drew Hill. Well, that's what he said.
Starting point is 01:27:33 You know what I mean? Cisco and friends. Yeah, that ain't going to work. Because Drew Hill is just, people know Drew Hill. That's right. You can't replace certain groups. Like, you can't replace the members of Jodeci. You can't replace the members of Jagged Edge.
Starting point is 01:27:44 We know all those people by name. Correct. 112. 112. They sounded good, though, right? I mean, a player can sing. A player can sing. Like, what Sisqo,
Starting point is 01:27:52 like I suggested to Sisqo in the interview, just start a new name. Create a new group. Create a new group. But Destiny's Child did it, like we said. Yeah, but they didn't replace
Starting point is 01:28:00 Beyonce and Kelly. You know what I mean? Like, you couldn't replace them two. They didn't replace the whole group, but there was four of them at first. And they were on the rise. They were on the come up. Now you're doing old classic hits. It's a little different.
Starting point is 01:28:13 They did that. They did that. Destiny's Child did that when they were still trying to establish themselves as a super group. And once again, they didn't replace Beyonce and Kelly. I feel like it happens with groups all the time. With the Temptations, they did it. Right? I didn't grow up in that era, so I didn't know nothing of the Temptations.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Yeah, because they still perform to this day now. It's not the same original members. I haven't been to a Temptations concert. It's like replacing Wu-Tang. Imagine Wu-Tang saying, hey, we're not going to have Mephiman, or Ghostface. This is, you know. We're going to bring EPMD in. Anything. It's not going to have Mephiman, our ghost face. This is, you know. We're going to bring EPMD in.
Starting point is 01:28:48 Anything. It just wouldn't work. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. But anyway, leave us on a positive note. The positive note is simply this, man. I want everybody out there to know what makes you different or weird, that's your strength.
Starting point is 01:29:00 Lean into that. Breakfast club, bitches. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. Lean into that. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe
Starting point is 01:29:14 not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-Stan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
