their journeys, and the thoughts that
arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

the God. The Breakfast Club, bitches!
The voice of the culture.
People watch The Breakfast Club for like news and really be tuned in.
It's one of my favorite shows to do.
Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real.
They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter.
They're on Facebook.
They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club.
Get your ass up.
Good morning, USA. Peace to the planet, it's Tuesday!
Yes, it's Tuesday. Good morning.
What's happening?
How y'all feeling?
Oh man, I'm blessed black and highly favored. How are y'all?
You know, I'm doing well, but, I have to say but.
Alright, if that's what you're into.
No.
I know it's early in the morning, I ain't even had breakfast yet, but you know, whatever you want to do, King.
One of the worst things to lose, I lost,
which is my license.
I can't find my driver's license. So you want to talk about that on the radio with police listening? I got to go
to DMV today. Somebody might want to do you dirty.
You know what I'm saying? When you leave in here and pull you over
and say, oh, he don't have no license.
I got other forms of identification.
Yeah, you got a passport.
What do I got to do with a driver's license?
You can still show other forms of identification.
I'm talking about driving. You have a picture of it? As long as I got a picture of other things. What do they got to do with a driver's license? You can still show other forms of identification. I'm talking about driving.
You have a picture of it?
Yeah, as long as I got a picture of other identification.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, you're fine.
Actually, it's not too bad going to the DMV because you make an appointment.
That's what I had to do.
It's like less than five minutes.
I had to make an appointment today to go so I can go there.
Usually, I'm used to going to the DMV.
You're there for the whole day.
So I made an appointment to go today because I can't find it anywhere.
I was in and out
because my license actually had expired.
It's the least amount of time
I've ever spent there.
It was very smooth.
Yeah, police officers keep telling me
I got to go to the DMV too
because I got a South Carolina driver's license.
Still?
Yes.
What do you mean?
You've been working here for 12 years.
I've been in New York since 2006.
I moved back to South Carolina in 20... the end of 20... 2009? You've been working here for 12 years. I've been in New York since 2006.
I moved back to South Carolina in the end of 2009.
I was there for a year. And every time I get pulled over, they're just like,
yo, how long you had this license?
I'm like, for a long, long time.
How long you been living there?
Since I was 16.
For a long, long, long time.
You had that license since when?
You were 16.
You had to license at 16.
Hey, man.
You know, it keeps me grounded.
I like seeing my South Carolina driver's license.
Drop one of the clues, brother, for South Carolina, damn it. Let me see your driver. I want to see the face on you got your license. Hey, man. You know, it keeps me grounded. I like seeing my South Carolina driver's license. Drop one of the clues, Blunt, for South Carolina, damn it.
Let me see your driver.
I want to see the face on your driver's license.
No, this is definitely the old face.
It's the old face.
I don't even know what year this was.
This is definitely the old face.
A hundred percent.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And you know what's funny?
Every time they look at it, they look at it.
They didn't look at me.
They didn't look at the kid and look at me.
Don't you have to get that true ID now or something like that?
When you travel, yeah.
It's a different identification.
So when you go to the airport, that's what I got to actually go.
They said everybody's going to have to have that by like maybe later this year.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
So I have to go figure that out.
All right.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news.
What are we talking about?
Well, I mean, you know what we're talking about.
Russia and Ukraine.
And there's some horror stories.
One of my friends was telling me she don't take the train in New York.
And I tell you about something disgusting that happened on the New York City subway.
That will make you say, maybe not.
I saw that.
Yeah, I seen it too.
We'll talk about it next.
And that should have been returned with a shot.
We'll talk about it next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Where are we starting? All right. Well,
let's start with Elon Musk. He has provided Starlink satellite internet terminals to Ukraine.
And that is after all these attacks on Russia. And, you know, the internet has been shut down
and they actually asked for the Starlink stations.
And so he did send them. And I think that's really dope.
He had previously donated 50 satellite terminals to restore Internet in Tonga.
Their telecommunications network was severely disrupted by a tsunami this year.
So what the Starlink services does is provide access to broadband Internet connections across the world.
So I want to get a hack. I wonder if that can be hacked.
Can you hack that?
Can you hack his, what is that, like Wi-Fi almost?
Yeah, it helps you get access to be able to have Wi-Fi.
Yeah, I wonder if that can be hacked.
I'm sure it can, right?
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, anything can be hacked pretty much nowadays. But being able to have access to Wi-Fi is important.
Imagine what it's like for you guys when you don't have any access to know what's going on.
Now, this story was horrifying to me.
A woman was on the subway and somebody smeared human feces on her face.
So she was 43 years old sitting on a bench.
And it was around 5.15 p.m.
A man started walking toward her holding a black plastic bag.
And then without saying a word, he smashed the contents of that bag in her face
and smeared it on the back of her head and then took off.
Yeah, I saw that headline.
Of course, I didn't watch the video because why would I ever want to see a video like that?
Was the video there?
I think it was a video.
Yeah, it was a video.
Yeah, that's how we know everything that happened. I don't know what the lady told, video that? I think it was a video. Yeah, it was a video. Yeah, that's how you know everything
that happened. I don't know what the lady told,
but I didn't know it was a video. Was there a reason?
Like, he just did it and kept going?
Like, he didn't rob her or anything? They haven't
found him. He just did that.
Was that a prank?
That's disgusting. Was it
a hazing? What would you do if that
happened? I was looking at this story yesterday
and my friend Laura was like, if that was me, I would
have ran after him. No, you probably would have been
so disgusted and horrified.
Depends what I got on you at the time.
Because I would have replaced that I in S-H
I-T with an O.
Okay? And that's what would have happened to that
individual. That is disgusting. Sometimes things you get
so caught off guard by is something that you don't expect
to happen. Now, what if you're on your way
to a very important job interview?
That would be the least of my concerns in that moment.
You know, there's an equal or opposite reaction to everything.
Every action is a reaction.
I mean, he took off.
He didn't expect it.
You could never say somebody is overreacting after somebody walks up to him
and puts a doo-doo sandwich in their face.
No.
Okay, you can never say somebody's overreacting.
Whatever that person did to that individual after that, it was warranted in my book.
I'm hearing too many stories about the subway incidents recently.
But that incident?
Nah.
All right.
And speaking of New York City, they are planning to lift their mask restrictions starting March 7th.
And that is for indoor activities like dining,
attending gyms, entertainment facilities.
You don't have to show proof of vaccination for that
if you're age five and older.
But they're saying Kyrie Irving, who is unvaccinated,
still won't be able to play home games
because of the workplace vaccine mandate.
So he could attend those games as a spectator,
but he wouldn't be able to play.
I don't know what's going on anymore.
I saw the CDC this weekend say that you don't have to wear a mask indoors anymore.
I'm like, what does that mean?
So you got to wear them outdoors?
Like, when do you wear a mask now?
You don't have to wear a mask indoors anymore.
What does that mean?
You don't have to wear a mask anymore?
How does that affect when you're flying?
If you don't have to wear it indoors, do you got to wear it on the plane?
All right, bro, I don't know.
You have to wear it in the airport?
Well, I think what we just said, like indoor activities, like dining, attending gyms, entertainment facilities.
You don't even have to show your vaccination card.
You know how you have to show it to go in.
So you don't have to.
So I go in a crowded restaurant, but I can't get on a plane?
I mean, maybe it's because you're just sitting there right next to each other with the air recirculating.
Well, it's different, though, because I guess it's the same thing with work, right?
Like planes have their own individual menus, right?
Yeah, it's a private, you know.
Yeah.
So Delta says if you want to be on this plane, this is what you have to do.
This is what you have to do.
If an individual store says you have to do this and it's not mandated by the city,
you still have to do it.
It's their private business.
But the CDC said three days ago most Americans don't currently need a mask indoors.
I don't know, bro.
I'm just following the rules of the land.
Wherever I go, whatever they tell me to do, that's what I do.
Alright, well that is your Front Page News.
Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
phone lines are wide open. Again,
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey guys,
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes,
entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests
and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that
rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if
you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire? Join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember
having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into
her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive
myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace for 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.

Okay, you gonna send it back to him, ask him what he think?
Nah, he already know his fire every time, man.
Never mind the fact that his country's under
war. You just got so much confidence
in yourself. Yeah, you got a lot going on right now.
I would think.
Have a good day, sir.
You see how people in Florida are.
This man is in a war-torn country right now.
Like, oh, yeah, you got a lot going on.
That's it.
This guy, man.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
It's Lovey from the Bronx living off of CT now.
I just want to say good morning to my Breakfast Club family.
Look at me.
Why they call you look at me?
Hi-yee.
Charlamagne.
Yeah, Charlamagne.
Come on.
Charlamagne, we got to talk to you, bro.
We'll talk about this after.
I am blessed, black and highly favored.
I won't even tell you why I'm blessed.
We'll talk about it.
I'm a single father, and I got to send my son back to school today.
The kids are looking at their math mandate.
They got my son totally confused.
I told him, where's math at all times?
They made this whole math mandate to a political sign.
I don't know.
Should I go back to homeschooling?
What should I do?
I'm going to be honest with you.
A lot of things haven't been making me think about homeschooling now.
Not really necessarily that, but a lot of different things have.
But the CDC did say a few days ago most Americans don't currently need a mask indoors.
I don't know if the schools are following CDC guidelines or what, but that's what the CDC said.
CDC confused me.
I'm with you.
I don't trust nothing with the alphabet people, bro.
I don't trust none of them. I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't trust nothing with the alphabet people, bro. I don't trust none of them.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm totally confused.
They have earned our distrust.
Big facts.
Big facts.
And now, I mean, I'm telling my son, I got to lecture him.
I said, look, I don't care what goes on around you.
Because, you know, you got these overprivileged kids that they can parent.
And I'm pushing their heads.
This is a political stance.
Don't wear your mask.
No one can tell you
what to do.
Nah, bro.
Wear your mask
to keep you safe.
I'm just confused.
Tell you,
yeah, man,
do what you feel
is best for you
and your son.
Listen,
I still wear my mask
in the airport and stuff,
so I get it.
All right, bro.
I'm wearing my mask.
And look,
Mr. Charlemagne,
because of you,
my female therapist has left me.
I need you to find me a new therapist, B.
She left you?
My therapist has left me, Charlamagne.
Why she left you because of me?
Yeah, man.
She's listening to your show the other day, but she said she can no longer look at me the same, man.
What?
That makes no sense.
I don't get what you're saying.
Well, have a good one, brother.
Hold on.
Goodness gracious. Get it off your chest. By the way, have a good one, brother. Hold on. Goodness gracious.
Get it off your chest.
By the way, no therapist would say that, by the way.
What's that?
Like, no therapist would tell somebody that.
Jesus Christ.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Now, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, and let's talk about the highest paid hip hop acts of 2021.
The numbers are in.
In the top 10, there is one woman on the list.
Do you know who it is?
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk highest paid hip hop acts.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
All right.
Well, the highest paid hip hop acts of 2021 list is in.
So let's talk about who made this top 10.
Now, there's one woman on the list.
Who do you think it is?
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
Actually, no.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Doja Cat?
Doja Cat at $25 million.
That makes sense.
Mm-hmm.
She's actually tied for number three with Birdman and Tech N9ne.
Oh, that's dope.
Mm-hmm.
All three of them at $25 million.
Now, number nine on the list is J. Cole.
Number eight is Eminem.
Number seven is DJ Khaled.
He said, things got bigger and better.
God is great.
We the biggest, you know that.
Shout out to Khaled.
Number six is Travis Scott with $38 million.
Number five on that list, Wiz Khalifa, $45 million.
Number four is Drake with $50 million.
Number three is Diddy with $75 million on that list.
Now, number two on that list is Kanye West.
He made $250 million last year at number one.
Jay-Z with $470 million.
And that is a large part because of selling a lot of his title streaming service
and the Armand de Champagne, which is Ace of Spades.
So they're saying his net worth has ballooned to $1.5 billion since then.
And as far as Kanye's $250 million over the course of 2021,
a lot of that is from his Yeezy footwear empire.
They said that's what most of that came from.
Yeah, I would think most of those people made all their money off product, right?
Because a lot of them aren't on the road like they used to be after COVID.
Yeah.
So, you know, congratulations to everybody who made the list.
We not mad at you.
All right.
Now, Aretha Franklin's granddaughter performed on American Idol she
was auditioning and first of all imagine having to let people know that you are Aretha Franklin's
granddaughter there's already a really high bar for you did she have did she have to let people
know that though well she did she revealed her relationship early on and you know she's only 15
years old she said that she was really close to her grandma.
I got to see her all the time.
She said I used to travel with her a lot.
And she said I don't think I could fully grasp the fact that she was famous
worldwide.
So I'm going to let you guys hear her performance and see what you think.
With this song.
What do y'all think? She cool. I probably would have kept that to myself, though, la. What do y'all think?
She cool.
I probably would have kept that to myself, though,
that I was Aretha Franklin's granddaughter,
just because people grade you differently.
They shouldn't, but they naturally do.
Would you have sent her to the next round?
I don't even know what that was.
American Idol.
She was auditioning.
That was the audition?
So when they're all in the hotel room? To see if you make it to, mm-hmm.
Out of center.
I don't know.
I got to hear everybody else.
I can't say that while just hearing her.
I got to hear everybody else first.
She's not good enough to sin.
I don't hear what she's up against, though.
Here's what Lionel Richie had to say.
Grace, you know how I feel about your family and you.
But I don't want this to be a crash and burn.
Okay? It's going to be a no for me this time, but an
optimistic come back and see us, okay?
Can I give you a hug because I have to
do this? See, Lionel Richie
knows more than me because Lionel Richie was there all day.
He saw the other contestants. He saw everybody else
that was performing. So he can make that
decision. I can't make that decision off
just hearing her. Well, Katy Perry was there and she said
yes. And she went ahead and went to the next round. And Luke Bryan also said no. Katy probably can't make that decision off just hearing her. Well, Katy Perry was there and she said yes. And she wanted her to go to the next round.
And Luke Bryan also said no.
Katy probably didn't want that slander from
social media. How dare you
vote Riva Franklin's granddaughter off
and you, who are you, Katy Perry?
They just started slandering her vocals. You know how this
works nowadays? And she
white.
At 15, she does have time
to hone her craft,
but I thought she sounded good.
But I didn't hear everybody else.
Passionate.
It's American Idol, so it's based off other people
that come to audition too, right?
Yeah, I mean, it's just auditioning to make it to the next round.
I would have to hear everybody else first.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
All right, we got front page news next.
What are we talking about?
Yes, and we'll talk about Russia and the sanctions against Russia and how is that affecting them. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, and we'll talk about Russia and the sanctions against Russia
and how is that affecting them. All right. We'll get
into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
All right.
Well, we're going to be talking about Ukraine and Russia
right now. Russia is facing a financial meltdown as the sanctions have slammed the economy.
And so the president there, Putin, has held crisis talks with his top economic advisors
after their financial system crashed to a record low against the U.S. dollar.
The government has spent the past eight years preparing Russia for tough sanctions
by building up a war chest of $630 billion in international reserves,
including currencies and gold.
But some of that is now frozen.
And so they said it's an unprecedented assault.
I saw that a lot of these really rich Russians are trying to also tell him to end the war, too,
because it's affecting them financially.
They are saying that analysts are warning this could lead to a run on Russian banks.
People are trying to secure their deposits and get their cash out before it's not possible.
So people are really nervous right now.
I wonder what role China will eventually play in all of this,
because that Russia and China alliance couldn't have been for nothing a few weeks ago, right?
Yeah, I think, you know, well.
I know they said they've been having talks with Russia and Ukraine,
but they said the shootings and bombings haven't stopped, all right?
No, it hasn't, and those talks were yesterday.
And so what came of those talks?
Well, according to the Ukrainian head Zelensky,
he said he's analyzing the results of the talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations.
They lasted for five hours.
And Zelensky has said there can be fair negotiations if one side does not hit the other side with rocket artillery at the time of negotiations.
In the meantime, the U.N. is saying at as possible into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
They've already conducted a preliminary probe into crimes linked to the violent suppression of pro-European protests.
And so now they want to open that investigation and broaden it to include crimes committed in fighting since the Russian invasion of Ukraine last week.
So they're monitoring those developments.
I wonder how long Russia can hold out with those sanctions.
I mean, back in the day, I think the sanctions lasted like 50 years when the U.S. put sanctions on the Soviet Union.
So I wonder how long they can last.
And this isn't just the U.S., though.
Like, this is a worldwide effort.
There's a lot of different countries that are putting these sanctions right now.
And it's a lot tougher, I think,
than ever before. If everybody can band
together, you know, globally,
this makes a huge impact.
That's why I said I'm still watching China
because that Russia and China alliance wasn't
for nothing. Like, I'm wondering what role they're
going to play. Will they come to
Russia's defense in some way, shape, or form?
Yeah, and China can tend to be really
conservative about this because they also don't want to
get hit with those sanctions, too, and be outcast like how Russia is.
So it's a tricky place for them to be in.
And so we are going to be continuing to update you on what's happening in Ukraine and continuing
to pray for people because watching all these kids dying and people being bombed and losing
their homes.
The other thing they were saying right now is the weather is really bad.
So it's freezing.
And a lot of people in the capital have been hiding in basements and places that have no electricity.
And it's freezing there.
So that just has added another level to what's happening.
Yeah.
I'm just waiting to see if China's going to end up becoming Russia's economic lifeline.
All right.
They're coming to their rescue with these economic sanctions.
Biden is giving his first State of the Union address tonight, and that's going to be at
9 p.m. Eastern.
So the timing of this speech, they said, coincides with a very high stress period for the nation.
Of course, some of the things, the top issues he'll be talking about are rising inflation,
fatigue about the pandemic, and all of these guided relax guided relaxing the guidance on
prevention measures also moving away from domestic issues he is going to describe the steps the
administration has taken to threaten Russia's financial stability and he does feel that will
force Putin to reassess the cost he stands to incur if Russia's military advance on Ukraine
does not end and I think that they were also surprised by how much Ukraine has been able to resist.
I think Russia thought this would be a whole lot easier than it has been.
But they are scared of a second wave of military coming into Ukraine.
So we will keep you updated.
Like we said, things keep on changing by the minute.
And we will be right here to let you know all the breaking news that's happening.
And that is your Front Page News.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, when we come back, 800-585-1051, Yee reported a story earlier about what happened in the New York City subway.
Now, explain to the people who just tuned in what happened.
Man, this woman was waiting for the train, sitting there minding her business,
and some guy came up to her with a plastic bag full of poop and
smeared feces all over her face and the
back of her head. That is
just disgusting. Alright, let's open up the phone
lines. Now, that is part of the reason why
I don't mess with the train. I just,
I don't feel comfortable. I don't like
the train. That's part of the reason I don't mess with people.
I don't want to be around no damn body.
Okay? But 800-585-1051.
What's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?
All right.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Talk about it.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Anjali, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
If you just joined us, we're talking about an incident that happened in the New York City subway.
A lady was on the subway.
A guy approached her with a bag full of poop and smacked poop on her face.
Smeared it all over her face and the back of her head.
And then ran off.
So we're asking 800-585-1051.
What's the craziest thing you've seen on the subway?
Now, Yee, what about you?
Man, you know I take the train a lot, so I've seen all kinds of things.
I remember one time when I was in like fifth grade, some guy pulled out his penis on the subway.
It was very creepy.
And I was a child.
It was disgusting.
And that's probably the craziest thing I've ever seen.
But I've seen all kinds of stuff.
I mean, I've seen people naked on the subway.
I've seen that Spider-Man person that climbs all up on the hand, the things you hold on to and all of that.
So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot.
Yeah, no, I mean, as a teenager, I used to work in the city and I would have to take the train to the city.
And I would see people peeing on the subway train.
I would see people fighting on the subway train you could see that on the street too i would see all types of rats on the subway train i would see people living on the tracks
like they would live under like where the the trains go there's like a little area i would
see people living there uh i i would just i don't f with the trains no at all i i would rather walk 100 blocks and get on that train that's just me that's personally i don't just, I don't F with the trains, no, at all. I would rather walk 100 blocks
and get on that train. That's just me. That's personally, I don't like it. I don't feel safe.
I don't feel comfortable. I've heard too many horror stories of people getting pushed and then
they, you know, hit that third rail and they get electrocuted. I don't F with the train. That's
just me. That's me personally. I'd rather get on a bus than a train. Yeah, the craziest thing I've seen on public transportation personally, probably nothing.
Because, you know, I swore on public transportation a long time ago.
I had actually the craziest thing I've ever seen on public transportation was when I used to have to ride the bus from Fort Lee, New Jersey to New York City.
And I looked in the mirror one day and I said, I look crazy on this goddamn bus.
All right. and i said that
is going to be one of the reasons that that i make it like i usually i literally use public
transportation as one of the reasons to like bust my ass to make it because i knew that was an
expense i would have to incur it one day and that expense was a taxi i don't you know i really don't
mind taking public transportation that's you you know my mom works for new york city transit
authority so shout out to her.
But I've been taking the train
since I was a kid.
I still take the train now.
And sometimes it really is
the fastest way
to get to where you need to go.
That might be true.
I'd rather take the train
and be on that train
for 10 minutes
than be in traffic
for an hour and a half.
I used to be on
public transportation,
especially the bus
from Penn Station
to Manhattan
to Jersey back and forth.
And all I used to think to myself, one day I'm going to be able to afford a car or a taxi.
And I'm going to get off this damn bus.
OK, I would rather pay the toll.
Truthfully.
And you know why?
Because of all of these stories that we're discussing right now.
Because of all of these things that we see right now.
And not only that, when my dad started out, you know, of course, if you don't know,
my dad was, he's a retired police officer.
When he started out on the police department,
his thing was he started out as an undercover on the train.
And he used to be, you know, one of those unclothed,
you know, uniformed police officers
that would help people out on the train.
And he used to tell me all types of stories.
People getting stabbed,
people throwing bleach in somebody's face.
He would tell me all these stories.
And he told me enough horror stories,
made me not want to take it.
I look at it like stuff can happen anywhere.
It could happen walking down the street.
You could be in a car, get in an accident.
You could be in an Uber.
Yes, it can.
Nobody's peeing on me in my car.
Somebody could shoot your car up.
Somebody could try to hit you from the back and steal your car.
I have very bad anxiety.
And what Angelina is saying is true.
Anything can happen anywhere.
But guess what?
We all take precautions everywhere we go.
And we take certain safety measures everywhere we go.
And if I don't feel safe in a certain place, I'm going to try to avoid that place.
And that's what, you know, public transportation has historically been for me.
I done gotten fights on the buses.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't want to be there.
I love when people come to New York and they're like, I never took the train before.
And then we get to ride the train.
It's like a...
Oh, by the way,
when I first moved to New York
and rode the train
and then they started,
you started hearing
about how the next terrorist attack
would be on the train
after 9-11.
Oh, I was cool with that.
Like, nah, I'm cool.
I'll figure it out another way.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Denise, good morning.
Good morning.
How you feel about
public transportation?
What's the craziest thing you've seen?
Oh, man. I'm from
Oakland, California. We were in the bar system
in downtown Oakland. And
the guy started urinating
on me. It was my friend's
foot, her foot, and we whooped his
foot. Did you start
peeing on your foot? Yeah, he
started peeing on our foot. And this is San Francisco.
Come on now. You know how that is.
Let me ask you a question.
After that,
did it change your perception
of public transportation?
Did you say,
you know what,
I got to figure
something else out?
Hell yeah,
I found a man with a car.
Exactly.
Like,
come on, man.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Precious
from Virginia.
Hey, Precious from VA.
Now, what's the craziest
thing you've seen
on public transportation? Well, I am an actual Now, what's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?
Well, I am an actual New Yorker, and the craziest thing I've ever seen.
I'm going to say this loud because it's the only time I'm going to say this.
I'm almost 40, but this happened when I was like 16 on the one line,
coming from a club that I was 5'4". And we had to stay at like the end of the cart because we were going all the way to Lincoln Center.
I used to live at Hell's Kitchen.
And me and my cousin Angie was on the train and we was just so chatting
it up. And this homeless guy was on the train, so we paid him no mind. Once he realized we was on
the train, he kind of stood up at attention and just started going down masturbating in front of
us. Mind you, we had to go all the way to Lincoln Center. So we're on the one line and we had a
couple of stops and he just kept going the whole time. And you never was
like, let me get off this train? You just was like,
well, we gotta, that's what I love about New Yorkers.
We just stay on the train. I never said
let me get off the train, because first of all,
I was 16, we were drunk, we weren't supposed to be at this
club, and you know going to Lincoln Center,
you have to be in a certain car, because all the exits
aren't open. You know this, Angela.
Yep. So I had to stay
in that car, because that's the only exit, that's Yep. So I had to stay in that cart because
that's the only exit. That's the only cart we had to get
in to get to where our exit was.
Let me tell you something.
She's a New Yorker. I'm a New Yorker. We see all
kind of things happen. We just kind of ignore
it and keep it moving. That's the problem with
New York, though. If you see
something, you should say something. You know what I mean?
That's why the guy... What you mean the who?
They on the train. They was 16 years old.
911?
There's a guy masturbating on the train?
That's lewd and public.
Lewd.
What do you call it?
Lewd behavior.
Exposing yourself.
And you're exposing yourself to minors?
Get his ass locked up.
She was 16.
She's 40 now.
Like, think about that dude that used to stand in front of the 40-40 all the time masturbating.
Why nobody ever called the police?
See, you didn't call the police, but you tell her to call the police.
You mean the same guy that's been up here? Oh, I didn't know he was up here. That's what I told you all about, and I showed you all the time masturbating. Why nobody ever call the police? See, you didn't call the police, but you tell her to call the police. You mean the same guy that's been up here?
I didn't know he was up here.
That's what I told y'all about, and I showed y'all the pictures.
I didn't know he was up here.
I told y'all he was up here.
Don't stop.
Yes, you did.
And New York City really should have a better train system.
You would think with all the people that ride the train, all the money that's spent, they
would look better.
They would be safer.
You know what I mean?
There should be something comfortable for people to ride on.
When you ride the train from D.C. to...
Well, you know why?
Why?
Because it's in urban areas.
They don't care about urban areas.
But when you go from suburbia to the city,
they have the Long Island Railroad,
where they have security.
You got food.
Even Secaucus is nice.
See?
I know everybody out of New York and Jersey
don't know what we're talking about.
I think it's just a lot more congested,
so it's not as easy.
A lot more people take the New York City subway
than, you know, these other modes
of transit. What they got to do with them making it nice,
though? I think they try, but it's hard
when you have millions of people every day
going back and forth on there. And they make hundreds of millions
of dollars. Plans are nice and there's hundreds of millions
of people traveling on them.
I don't know. It's super congested. Sometimes you can't
even get on there because it's so crowded.
But I would say this. I've taken the train my whole life
and I've never had anything happen to me.
Thank God. Millions of people have.

her with a hammer and started beating her in the head just to take her purse. I saw Lisa Edwards
report that yesterday. You know what I mean? It's going down in them trains. I'll tell you another,
one of the craziest things I've seen on public transportation.
Y'all remember Marta Girl?
Mm-mm.
Y'all remember Marta Girl from Atlanta back in the day?

Let's go to another line.
We have Trav.
Trav's on the line.
Trav.
Hey, Trav.
Here.
What's up?
Hey, I want to talk to someone.
When we talk about getting on the L, right,
there's certain cities that you don't want to get on the L on.
Like Philadelphia is one of them because you're always trying to avoid crazy.
Whatever you get on the L in Philadelphia.
There was this man one time I was getting on.
He was literally spreading his butt cheek and trying to throw doo-doo and pee on people.
Now, Trav, so he was mooning you, Trav.
Yeah, he was mooning me.
He knew what you was into, Trav.
He heard you call the Breakfast Club a bunch of times.
He knew what you was into.
He's like, oh, that's Trav.
That's Trav.
I already know what time it is.
Butt cheeks spread on command.
I'm so serious, though.
You literally always trying to avoid.
The last time I was on the L, I was going to be Taylor for the Andrew Schultz comedy show.
And she was waiting for me for like an hour because this person was trying to stab people on the platform.
And they wouldn't let the train move. Well, let me ask you a question,
Trav. Do you, why do you, you ride public transportation
because you want to or because
it's just the fastest? Like, why? I ride it
because it's just so hard to park in Philly,
man. Like, there's really, like, no parking in Philly and
also, I got so many tickets in
Philadelphia. Oh, you can't, you can't
bring your car out there because they'll tow it. Why not call
Uber? Yeah, they literally put a boot
on my car. Why not call Uber? It's expensive. Well, man, Uber in Philly is expensive, man. It's like New York. Yeah, bring your car out there because they'll tow it. Why not call Uber? Yeah, they literally put a boot on my car. Why not call Uber?
It's expensive.
Uber actually is expensive, man.
It's like New York.
Yeah, Uber expensive.
Yeah, it's expensive.
Sometimes I try to call Uber,
I'm like, I'm going to just get on the train.
I'm not paying $60.
Uber's definitely expensive.
I'm going to say one more thing to y'all before I leave, man.
Then I'm going to drop off.
iPhone Sim is a hater, bro.
I'm going to leave it like that.
What happened with iPhone Sim now?
He a hater, bro.
He a hater.
What'd he do? I be minding my business. And he a hater, bro. I'm going to leave it like that. What happened with iPhone Sim now? He's a hater, bro. He's a hater. What'd he do?
I'd be minding my business and he's a hater. iPhone Sim hasn't called up here
in months. We haven't heard from iPhone Sim in a while.
And he be bothering me
on my Instagram, my DM.
Maybe flirting. He DMs you?
Maybe he wants you to spread your butt cheeks like y'all on the train.
And move him.
Goodbye. Bye, y'all.
Oh, man, I know iPhone's about to call in three seconds.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Lee.
Hey, Lee, what's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?
All right, so I'm from Philly.
We were out of step city.
And when I used to go back and forth to high school,
it used to be like piles of crackies underneath the train just smoking crack any time of day.
Early in the morning after school, just piled up wherever the trains run, just smoking crack.
That's crazy. Wow. That's crazy.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, Brunch Club, what's going on? It's Cliff from the Bulls
City. What's up, bro? What's the
craziest thing you've seen on public transportation, brother?
Man, the craziest thing I've seen, man,
my first time in New York about seven years
ago, I was sitting on the train, it was probably
about three o'clock in the morning, and
these two women, they got into it. So we get off on the train. It was probably about 3 o'clock in the morning. And these two women had got into it.
So we get off on the next stop, and the guy was like, oh, I got to see what's going on.
We're going up the escalator, and this girl looks back at him.
She said, what you smiling at?
And they proceeded to dump soda all over this man for no reason.
He goes up to the little store at the end.
He said, let me get two orange sodas.
And he finds the girls, and he just drowns them with the sodas.
What?
So they had a soda fight.
Yes, they start to fight them.
And then he comes out with the girls.
She pulls out a little bottle of bleach, and she throws it in his face.
See what I'm saying?
Oh, my gosh.
He comes back.
His friend is looking.
He has a drawstring bag with a gun in it, it looks like.
Oh, boy.
Everybody starts running.
I'm just in disbelief as to
what's happened my first time in New York.
And then her and the guy go back and again.
The second time she said, you think I'm playing?
She pulls a kitchen knife out.
I'm like, where is she getting all this stuff?
She had bleach, kitchen knives,
all types of stuff. Bleach, kitchen knife.
Man, it was a wild experience, man.
Crazy. I remember one time
before I was living up here in New York.
As a matter of fact, I got fired and I went back to South Carolina, but I was up here.
And I was up here for Halloween and didn't know it was Halloween.
And I got on that goddamn train.
And I really thought I had died and went to hell.
Until it dawned on me that this was motherfucking Halloween.
Nah, New Yorkers.
I just don't do the trains.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Marissa from Chicago.
Marissa from the Chi. What's the craziest thing you've seen on public
transportation? I actually saw
a dead body on the train before.
Oh my gosh. How you know he was dead
and not drunk and sleeping? I fell
asleep on trains before. It's a
funny story because I was
coming home from school
and it was a lady that I was
like, I think that man dead. And when we
looked at him, it was cold outside.
So, you know, it's trying to get real cold.
The snot from his nose
was frozen. And then when they
called the paramedics, the paramedics
pushed him and he acted like he was like
a dime that he had just filled and kept going back and forth.
He acted like he was a what? A dime.
Like, you know how you was a what?
Oh.
So he wasn't dead?
Who called the police, y'all?
Oh, okay, okay.
A dead body.
All right.
Thank you, mama.
Yeah.
I've heard that happen before.
All right.
Well, what's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is everybody got to do what they feel comfortable with.
Everybody got to do what makes them feel safe.
I spend every day trying to avoid crazy.
It's a lot of crazy on public transportation.
Therefore, I avoid public transportation.
I work hard.
All right?
And public transportation was my motivation.
One of my motivations when I was younger.
Didn't want to do that.
So, thank God I don't have to. Yeah, some people don't have an option
right now. So, you're right. They got to do
what they got to do. Yeah.
I ain't doing it. I'm sorry.
You don't have to. Thank God.
Oh, my gosh.
Anyway, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, let's do some positivity now.
Let's talk about Lauren London.
She was on Jay Shady's
On Point podcast. We're talking on the train to negative podcast.
We're talking about the worst things that happened.
That was negative.
Let's talk about Lauren London on Jay Shetty's on point podcast and what she had to say.
All right.
We'll get into that next at the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
All right. Well, Lauren London was on Jay Shetty's On Point podcast.
And on that podcast, she was just talking about strengthening her faith and a lot more things.
And her message was so powerful during this podcast that I saw a lot of people reposting it and talking about it. When you have this plan for your life as you should,
if or when that gets derailed
and you have plan B now to go off that you didn't plan on,
it is the ultimate test of surrender.
Because at the end of the day,
as much control as we think we have, we do not.
And it's actually very powerful to surrender.
We think that it's a weakness because
life is going to do what it's going to do and we are all going to get chin checked by life one way
or another so i might as well focus on my enlightenment and roll with the river and not
fight with the rocks dropping clues bombs from lauren london absolutely i gotta go listen to
that whole podcast with uh that was amazing i saw a lot of people reposting that and being able to relate to that.
Yeah, sending Lauren London healing energy always.
And she's absolutely right.
That's where a lot of the anxiety comes from, you know,
just not being able to relinquish control.
But we don't have any control, which also gives you anxiety too.
All right.
Now, Kanye West fans, they want that Donda 2 album so bad
to be streaming on these services
that they actually were downloading a fake version called Wanya Kest.
So if you didn't spend that money on getting that stem player,
and if you weren't able to figure out a way to savvily get it online somehow,
then people have been going ahead and getting this fake album called the one year cast by accident.
That shows you once he does put it there, it's going to be if he does, it'll be really powerful.
And in the meantime, Kanye has hosted the future brunch.
And that is to discuss ownership, controlling the narrative and disparities in black media.
And that's going to actually air today on Facebook.
So here is the trailer that they released.
And he did this with Jason Lee from Hollywood Unlocked. where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys,
and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories
from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run
and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

As a kid,
I really do remember
having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know
what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best
and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

ramped up.
Tell me what y'all need. Let's tell
each other what we need from
each other.
So
there you have it. He's talking about
brand ownership, disparities, controlling
your own narrative.
And the game was on Drink Champs.
And one of the things that he talked about was Kanye West.
He said Kanye did more for him than Dr. Dre.
Guess what?
You don't f***ing kick me out of group.
I'm the G and G unit.
F*** you mean.
Hey, this is what I'm saying again.
Fans been like, yo, we need to f*** you.
Guess what?
You don't f***ing kick me out of group.
I'm the G&G unit.
F*** you mean?
Hey, this is what I'm saying again.
The fans been like, yo, we need game on that.
We do that.
You drink that, I drink this bottle, bro.
Bro, I call fades behind that.
Like n***a what?
Taking crips on a blood, on a tour while I'm a blood.
F*** you what I mean?
My own homies.
I lost half of the game like that.
It's crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks
than Dre did for me my whole career.
We could have just played that one part.
Yes, we could have.
Yeah, that was more.
I anticipate a lot of Drink Champs interviews.
I am anticipating this Drink Champs interview
simply for that one part
because I need to know what Kanye West has done for the game in the past two weeks
that Dre hasn't done for the game in his whole career.
That's a hell of a statement.
Well, I will say one thing.
The game was signed at 50, not Dr. Dre.
What are you talking about?
There was aftermath.
It was G on the aftermath.
Right, but he was signed through 50.
Yeah, but he had all those Dr. Dre beats and all that Dr. Dre
production.
Let's be clear,
the game wouldn't be
the game without
Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
Correct.
Collaborating.
Correct.
So it's like,
I need to know.
I am intrigued.
I want to know.
I mean, I would love
to know too,
but I thought that
when the game first came out,
they didn't know
what to do with him
and then game.
He was shelved.
He was shelved.
That's the story I heard.
They put him with Fifth
and then it popped, so.
And Fifth gave him
the records that he had already done with Dre, right? Like, hated or loved it and it was shelved. That's the story I heard. They put him with Phif and then it popped. And Phif gave him the records that he
had already done with Dre, right?
Like Hated or Lovin' and it was something else.
I don't know what the other one was. No, not Hated or Lovin'.
This is how we do.
There you go. And Hated or Lovin'. It was Hated or Lovin' too?
Okay. Alright, Euphoria
is the second most watched series
on HBO, so congratulations.
It should be number one. What's number one?
To them. Game of Thrones. Is Game of Thrones not on anymore? No, it's not one? to them, Game of Thrones
is Game of Thrones not on anymore?
no it's not on anymore
most watched show since 2004
so yeah
their season finale pulled in a series high
of 6.6 million viewers
and
you know congratulations to them
if you're the second most watched show on HBO
ever, that's big HBO's had're the second most watched show on HBO ever, that's big.
HBO's had some classics.
And they also have HBO Max, too.
So, you know.
And they're saying that the season three is coming in 2024.
Yeah, I watched the finale last night.
It went just the way I thought it was going to go.
I actually said that's probably what was going to happen.
But they're not going to come back two years from now and still be in high school, are they?
They can't. There's no way.
I mean, I guess it continues where
it left off. But what grade are they in now?
I don't know. They don't seem
like high schoolers. They're 25!
My high school was not like that.
What, two years from now, they can't come
back and still be in high school? That's the
stock of work. Alright, well, that is your
rumor report. Alright, thank you, Miss
E. Now, Charlamagne, who you giving that down to?
A former top executive at Estee Lauder named John Dempsey.
He needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a word for him because he's acting like there's not rules out here in
these streets.
And he violated one of the cardinal rules.
We'll talk about it.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.

I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day.
Bunch of...
It's that time for the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, March 1st goes to John Dempsey.
Who is John Dempsey?
John Dempsey was a top executive with Estee Lauder.
Okay, you know the makeup company Estee Lauder.
John Dempsey was a senior executive there.
In fact, he was the executive group president.
I don't know what that means, but it sounds important.
Either way, he was told by Estee Lauder that he must leave the company this week
after he shared material on his Instagram account that does not reflect
the values of the Estee Lauder companies.
That damn social media strikes again.
All right.
The problem with social media is your page is probably boring if it reflects the values
of the company you work for.
All right.
Nobody wants to follow a basic, boring page just reflecting its company's values.
We want to be entertained by any means necessary.
And that's what this senior executive at Estee Lauder, John Dempsey, did yesterday.
He chose entertainment over Estee Lauder.
See, John got fired because he posted a meme.
The meme was Sesame Street themed.
What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?
It was Sesame Street themed.
It was a mock cover of a little golden book.
It had Big Bird on the cover with a mask on sitting next to
snuffer luffagus sick in bed and the title said and i'm quoting the title my nigga snuffy done
got the rona at a chingy concert now for us regular folks that's just a regular day on social media
just a regular meme but john dimsey is 65 years old and he's a 65 year old white man who works at Estee Lauder.
Let's unpack this. As my therapist would say now, I like funny.
OK, I guess some might even say I have a sick sense of humor.
I appreciate people who can find the funny in any and everything.
But here's the thing about that meme. It wasn't even funny to me, at least.
Maybe I don't get the joke i didn't understand it
sesame street big bird snuffleupagus chingy concert covid my nigga stuffy then got the
rona at a chingy concert what does that even mean okay i don't see the correlation at all
that's the first problem the second problem is john dempsey's apology. I can't say whether his apology was sincere or not.
I'm sure he's apologetic, but it was the reasoning.
He said, I am terribly sorry and deeply ashamed that I hurt so many people
when I made the horrible mistake of carelessly reporting a racist meme without reading it beforehand.
OK, I don't need to hear anymore.
If you didn't read the meme beforehand john then what
did you even post it for was it for the picture did you think big bird in a mask sitting bedside
while snuffer luffagus was sick was such a compelling picture that the world needed to see it
who doesn't read memes before they post them envy have you ever read a didn't read a meme before you
posted it no angelie have you ever not read a meme before you posted it? No. Angelique, have you ever not read a meme before you posted it? Nope.
Anybody in this room?
Have they ever done that?
No, nobody does that.
There are certain rules in life one must follow, okay?
Like, you know you can't bring liquids through TSA.
You know you shouldn't feed gremlins after midnight.
Well, mogwai after midnight, all right?
You don't say Candyman three times in a mirror
and never, ever, ever post a meme without reading it.
Nobody does that. OK, we all post memes because we've read them.
OK, that's the whole point of posting a meme, because we've read it and we like them.
And they either motivated us, enraged us or made us laugh.
So we share those memes with our followers so that our followers can feel the way that we do.
John, you knew exactly what you was doing.
And I would have respected you more if you said, hey, I just thought it was funny.
OK, I didn't know any better.
All right. And I thought the N word was used in context.
All right. I didn't think it was racist.
I didn't personally say it.
It's all types of other things you could have said.
It was on a meme.
All right. That right there would have opened up a discussion, a debate.
But to say you didn't read the meme, nobody believes that.
Now, Estee Lauder must have, you know, heard your excuse and said, oh, well, I can do you better.
All right. You didn't read the meme before you posted it. Well, they released a statement that said John Dempsey wasn't fired, but rather was told he had to leave the company and agreed to retire this week.
Now, I should give y'all donkey today for that.
What's the difference between getting fired and getting told to leave the company?
You're not giving me any other options. All right.
That's what you tell somebody. You don't got to go home, but you have to get the hell out of her.
See what I did there?
Chingy.
Her.
Her.
COVID.
That's me.
All right.
All right.
Tough crowd.
Tough crowd.
Please give John Dempsey
the biggest hee-haw.
And I was going to just
ignore this,
but I just have to say
for Candyman,
it's five times, not three. Oh, it's five? Yeah. I thought it was three times. It just bothered me. I was like, I was going just ignore this but I just have to say For Candyman, it's five times not three. Oh five. Yeah
Just bother me. I was like I was a little slide, but I just had to you know, I don't know I thought I three times
Candyman, okay
Watching you know, that's what I'm saying. None of this makes sense
None none of it makes sense. The meme didn't make any sense. There was absolutely no reason to post that meme.
It wasn't even funny.
Poor Chingy, minding his business.
Minding his damn business.
Minding his business.
It's over there somewhere.
You know what I'm saying?
Damn, Chingy.
Like, that had nothing to do with nothing.
I didn't get it.
He responded.
So now you done lost a job.
He was making $10 million a year.
What?
A year.
A year.
A year?
He was making $10 million.
See, I would have said I got hacked.
I'm not going down for that. Yeah, he got hacked.
I got hacked. He's not that savvy.
I've never heard that. I've never heard nobody say that.
I would have been like, can someone help me get my account back?
Yeah, I would have just said that. He could have just said
he thought it was in context. He didn't think it was
racial. He just thought it was funny. That's what he
should have leaned on. He was like, I didn't know
I couldn't post a meme. And the N-word wasn't even spelled out on the meme. It had the star. That's what he should have leaned on. He was like, I didn't know I couldn't post a meme.
And the N-word wasn't even spelled out on the meme.
You had the stars.
That's what I'm saying.
I thought you said it.
Should he have gotten fired, you think?
No.
I don't, actually.
I really don't.
I don't think he should have gotten fired for that.
Damn.
I don't.
Nah, I wouldn't know.
All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.
I think they were tired of him. Yeah, they donkey today. I think they were tired of him.
Yeah, they were tired.
I think they were tired of him.
That was an excuse. They were waiting for something.
Yeah, that was an excuse to get rid of him.
He's been there for a long time.
$10 million.
Probably didn't pay a lot of money.
Absolutely, yeah.
Because I would have said my account got hacked.
I would have said that.
I didn't know it said, because I thought it said nice people.
I don't know.
Nice people?
It was literally like N, star, star, star, A.
I mean, he could have used a better excuse than I didn't read the meme.
That's all I'm saying.
By the way, I'm not going to sit here and say if he should have got fired or not.
That's not my call to make.
He gave me half his salary.
I'd have helped him out.
All right.
Well, thanks for that donkey to do.
Donkey to day.
All right.
What's next?
What are we talking about?
I don't know.
You guys were discussing.
I had an idea.
I mean, I was talking about this Reddit post that this guy did.
He said that he was flying on a 12-hour flight from Japan back to the United States where he's from.
And he was with his wife.
He ended up getting an upgrade from economy into first class.
It's a 12-hour flight.
And he left his wife in economy.
And so he was asking people,
do you think that was wrong of me?
Because his wife is mad and called him an a-hole
for doing that.
And so people were saying
they would be extraordinarily upset,
but he was saying he didn't think it mattered,
and he did not choose business class over her.
He said that she's just jealous,
and what was he supposed to do?
Not get this free upgrade. It's a 12-hour
flight. You were going to be asleep the whole time anyway,
so was I. It's not like we would be talking.
Alright, so let's talk about it. 800-585-1051.
Right, you work with your spouse,
your wife, right? Yeah, but y'all get on the flight.
Now, you got Delta Miles, American Miles,
United Miles, you got JetBlue. You have an opportunity
to fly first class. You fly a lot.
Oh, they say, hey, Mr. Johnson, have an opportunity to fly a lot you fly a lot oh they say hey Mr.
Johnson we're gonna upgrade you because you fly so much you say oh thank you so much this is all
my work I've done the whole year oh but we can't upgrade your life whoa you can't upgrade my baby
my love of my life oh all right see you in 12 hours see you in 12 hours what do you do 800 you
go back and you sit with your significant other in the common.
585-1051.
Or you give your significant other, especially your wife, the first class seat.
Mr. Johnson.
I think y'all know what I would do.
Mr. Johnson, the seats in first class, they recline all the way to a bed.
The ones in the back don't do that.
Oh, babe, what do you want to do?
Let's talk about it when we come back.
What do you do in that situation?
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Shalameen the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a story that Yee has read on Reddit.
Where did you read the story?
Yeah, this guy was asking people, is he an a-hole?
His wife said that he is.
And they were on a 12-hour flight going from Japan to the United States for vacation.
He thought they would be sitting next to each other,
but then he got upgraded to first class.
And his wife didn't have that opportunity.
She didn't have the miles for it.
And so she's mad that he, the way she looks at it,
chose business class over her.
And she's absolutely right to be mad.
You don't do that.
That's your wife.
You know what I'm saying?
You ride, you ride. You know how back in the day they say you leave with the people that you came with? That's the way I look at that. That's your wife. You know what I'm saying? You ride, you ride. You know how back in the day they said you leave with the
people that you came with? That's the way I look at that.
If both of us can't sit in first class, then neither one
of us gonna sit in first class. That's your wife.
That's not your friend.
He said that he was like, I'm not gonna miss
my opportunity to sit in business class.
In my eyes, it's just a 12-hour flight
and it doesn't matter if I sit next to my wife or not.
Just a 12-hour flight? Yeah, right.
I bet you had a bed up there and all kinds of stuff.
If anything, let her sit in first class.
I will say this, though.
That's happened to me before.
Not 12-hour flight, though.
You know, smaller flights.
And sometimes my wife would be like, look, you're taller than me.
You need the leg room.
You sit up there.
And I sit, you know, and she'll sit in Delta Comfort.
Later.
But there's times when I'd be like, nah, babe, you sit first class.
And I sit in the back, like recently.
You know what I mean?
It doesn't matter.
But a 12-hour flight.
And there's a bed that lays down.
A bed that lays down.
They probably give you Sundays when you get to choose your toppings.
My wife in the back.
Ah, man.
I'm going to look for an older black woman on the flight.
And I'm going to say, ma'am, you can take my seat.
And I'm going to sit in the back.
OK.
You want to know what I would do?
What would you do?
I would take it.
And I would say, in six hours, let's switch.
I doubt that.
I would.
And this is what I would hope for.
I would go first.
I would hope that he would be asleep.
He's lying, yo.
So that by the time I go back there, I'd be like, I didn't want to wake you up.
It's a bold-faced lie.
We've watched Angelina leave her significant other back in the day.
She was definitely not my significant other.
Whoever you was with, to go sit next to Jay-Z and Michael Kizer at a basketball game. You was on a date, Yee. He was definitely not my significant other. Whoever you was with to go sit next to Jay-Z
and Michael Kaiser at a basketball game.
You was on a date, yee.
You was definitely on a date.
He was not my significant other.
It was a date, though.
So?
Like, Jesus.
He ain't my man.
See what I'm saying?
Like, so?
That's different.
We're talking about somebody you're in a relationship with.
That's a whole different scenario.
Me and my wife would do that, too.
We would think about doing that.
You got the six.
I got the next six.
We would think about that.
And let me tell you, if he went first, I would set my
alarm for exactly six hours.
I'd be right there. By the way,
this is not even a hypothetical for me.
This has happened. I'm like, no,
you sit in first class. Guess what?
My wife didn't want to sit in first class.
She's like, no, I'm sitting where you sit. And it would be
vice versa. Like, no, you don't do
that. It's not even a discussion.
I'll use these points another time.
Right now, me and my wife, we together.
We're going to sit together wherever on this plane.
Well, it's not points.
They just upgrade you automatically.
Whatever it was, I'm not doing that.
That's corny.
I'm not going to lie.
That's like, wow.
All right, well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
It's TJ, man.
What's up, y'all?
TJ, what up, man?
What you doing?
So, TJ, you flying from, I don't know, let's say Dubai, right?
Long-ass flight, right?
Or Africa.
Let's say Africa.
Africa's, let's say, an 18-hour flight.
They say, sir, I'm upgrading.
I can only upgrade you, not your wife.
18 hours.
You get the bag, the comforter, the pillow, the big big screen Your wife in the back

My mom used to teach at St. Stephen.
St. Stephen Middle School.
Oh, that's what I went there.
Yes, sir.
So my wife is from New York.
So like, she's usually proper.
So I don't want to hear that New York and Jamaican come out of her
when I decide I want to go
in the first class, leaving her with both
of the kids.
There's no scenario
where that works. I'm not doing it.
What you doing? So you're saying you're saying coach.
I'm not doing it.
I don't want that headache from her.
You don't want the smoke later on?
Absolutely not. Now if she said babe,
if she said babe, you go sit in the front. she said, babe, you go sit in the front.
If she said, babe, you go sit in the front, what you doing?
If she decides she wants to go?
No, she says, babe, you could go sit in the front.
No.
I'm going.
No, you're not.
No, don't do that.
He's going.
How old are you, sir?
He's going.
You got two kids.
All I need is a confirmation that it's okay for me to go.
No, that's not okay.
That's a trick.
It's a setup.
That's like her telling you, yeah, go ahead.
You got a hall pass.
Go sleep with another woman.
Don't do that.
That's like Cockroach and Theo when they was arguing about going into Dance Mania
or whatever the hell the thing was called.
And he said, Theo, go.
And he said, no, you go.
Theo, you go.
And he thought that he was going to say, Theo, you go in the last time.
And Cockroach went in.
No.
That's Cosby's reference for all the young people out there.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Tasha.
Call me from Lexington, Alabama.
Hey, Tasha.
So, you know your husband works hard.
He's a tall brother.
His back hurts.
His legs hurt.
He got his Timbs on.
It's an 18-hour flight.
You are hyping it up.
And it's like.
Why are you trying to make yourself feel better? You went out like a sucker, Envy. I didn't go out like a sucker. I hope this is in the book. It's an 18-hour flyer. You are hyping it up. Why are you trying to make yourself feel better?
You went out like a sucker, Envy. I didn't go out like a sucker.
I hope this is in the book. I'm just asking.
What would you do, mama?
So as a wife, I would be upset and I would be
immediately advertising for me a flight
husband for 12 hours.
Hey.
But on the other side,
I can't even be like...
I would leave him too.
He would have to be mad, and I would just make up for it.
So you would leave him?
All right, babe, I'll see you in 12 hours.
I'm sitting in the front with the good food, the comfort, and the pillow.
Yep, yep, I'd leave him too.
He'd just have to be mad about it.
Well, I'll make it up to him later.
By the way, I don't have a problem with that.
That's the kind of sacrifice a husband makes for a wife.
I'm just not, you know, I'm not going to be the one to sit in first class when my
wife sits in economy. No, man.
But you see, your legs barely touch
the floor, so you don't got the problem with like leg
problems. It don't have nothing to do with legs. It got to do with
my wife. Your legs are going to be
all hurt. Man, I wish Gia had met somebody
in economy, man. I wish she had met her
a nice man in economy
that stole her heart.
That's never happened to me, sir. I wish.
800-585-1051.
What would you do?
You're flying a 12-hour flight.
You and your wife, you and your spouse, a significant other.
They say they can only upgrade one.
You gonna go leave your wife in the back?
Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club.
Call me. I know in there. I know in there. I know in there. I know in there. I know in there. I know in there. I know in there.
I know in there.
Call me.
Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about this couple that had a 12-hour flight.
They got on a plane plane and one got upgraded.
So he decided to sit first class and left his wife
in the back. It was a 12-hour flight and his wife
was pissed off about it.
She has every right to be. So we're asking
800-585-1051
What would you do? Hello, who's this?
Hi, my name is Charlie
from Austin, Illinois. Hi, guys.
Hey, Charlie.
I had to call in and weigh in Who's this? Hi, my name is Charlie from Austin, Illinois. Hi, guys. Hey, Charlie. Peace, Charlie.
I had to call in and weigh in today because this had me feeling some type of way.
Go ahead, mama.
I just feel like that's your wife.
You shouldn't even love her at all. If anything, if you wanted to use your whatever, if you wanted to use your points so bad, you
should have offered your wife to go be comfortable and you stayed in the condo.
I agree. You should have never
left your wife. Okay, so would you leave
if your man was like, or your husband was like,
you go sit in first class and I'll stay
back here, would you leave him? No, because
this is a 12-hour flight. I want to be with my
man. That's right. If anything,
I just would have been like, no, no, thank
you. We're good.
I really do pray that
any woman that gets put in this situation
meets their happily ever after in economy.
Hello, who's this?
Kelvin.
What's your name?
Kelvin, Kelvin.
Kelvin, what's up?
Where you calling from?
Kelvin, Kelvin.
I'm from Old Bridge.
Old Bridge, okay.
Yeah, Old Bridge.
Let me ask you a question.
You traveling with your girl, your significant other, right, or your man, whatever it is, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All of a sudden.
My girl.
My girl.
I'm just.
I'm not assuming.
That's it.
We'll make that clear real quick.
All right.
All right.
I'm not assuming.
You with your girl.
12-hour flight.
They like, yo, Calvin, yo, you could upgrade, but we only got one 12-hour flight.
You know, you got the pillow, the comforter, the bigger TV, you know, the beds that lay down.
Three full meals.
You could take the tins off and relax.
You've been working all day.
Your wife in the back with your girl in the back.
A foot massage.
All right, all right.
There's only going to be one or two things happening in this case.
Go ahead.
It's either my wife was taking that seat or I was standing in the back of my wife.
Simple.
Simple as that.
I'm going to explain
to her what's going on.
This is what they offer you.
You're trying to have
this experience.
No?
All right.
So we're going to sit
right here and,
you know what I mean?
Take this flight.
All right.
All right, well,
I'll tell you how it is.
I'm not giving up that seat.
Me and my wife,
we're going to split it
six and six.
That's disrespectful.
No, we're going to split it six and six That's disrespectful No we gonna split it
Six and six
I don't even want that
We gonna be here
Let me ask you a question
What if she said
How long y'all been together
My wife
27 years
What if she said
For the next 27
We gonna split it
So I'm gonna be with
Some other guy for half
And I'm gonna let
I'm gonna be with you
For the other half
You gonna do that
Nah I ain't doing that
Exactly
12 and 12
We gonna hang it
We gonna be in the economy together
By the way I've been in that situation 12. 12 and 12. We going to hang it. We going to be in the economy together.
By the way, I've been in that situation.
12 hours?
I mean, from like L.A. to maybe, I think it was L.A. to New York flight.
And I told my wife, take the first class flight.
And she was like, no, I want to see what you in the economy.
I would never do that.
But nobody wants to sit with me anyway because I'm sleeping the whole 12 hours. I don't care.
I sleep the whole flight.
I'm going to let my wife take that first class.
We going to sleep together.
It's not even about talking or nothing.
It's just about us being with each other.
We're going to be together in first class.
We're going to be together in economy.
That's just how it goes.
All right.
Well, we got rumors on the way, Yeezy?
Yes.
And since we're talking about flights,
we'll tell you about somebody who says that they were physically assaulted
ahead of getting on their flight.
I hope this causes an argument between you and Gia later.
I hope she has flashbacks.
There's going to be a part two of this book.
This actually happens a lot because we travel a lot.
So sometimes there'll only be one first class seat.
She'll take the first class seat.
Or sometimes she'll be like, babe, you take it.
You DJ last night.
I know you're tired.
You take it.
So it depends.
I mean, we don't care about that.
What if somebody take a selfie with Gia in economy and then take a picture of you in first class
and be like, look at this n***a Envy in first class
while I'm with his wife in economy.
Envy's like, I'm not insecure.
I'm not insecure.
I see insecurity all over your face.
I see you thinking about that right now.
I'm not insecure.
The stuff like that does not bother me.
It's my wife, my lady, my queen.
But if you go back to check on her,
and she fell asleep,
and her head is leaning on the guy's shoulder.
And it's Maxwell.
He also.
First of all,
Maxwell would never be in economy.
There was only one seat left.
There was only one seat left.
She sits next to Maxwell,
and now her head is next to Maxwell.
What if Maxwell only decided to sit in economy because he saw Gia back there in economy?
That played too much.
He was like, you know what?
Somebody else take my first class seat.
I want to trade.
What if he walked back there, and they're toasting and having drinks and laughing?
Laughing their ass off.
You're in first class trying to sleep.
All you hear is, ooh, and laughter.
What you going to do? What you going to do?
What you going to do?
And they're sharing a blanket.
See, y'all go too far.
Y'all go too far.
Y'all go too far.
That's funny as hell.
Maxwell goes
and then under the blanket goes
you would cry.
See, I play too much.
We got rumors on the way, man.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning. the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Kodak recently shared some of his thoughts about men not needing to shower every day,
but it seems like he believes that women do need to shower daily.
He was talking to hosts JoJo Alonzo and Kodak, and here's what he said.
It's like, we can rock here.
We ain't even really got to hop in the sprayer every day for real.
What, like the shower?
Mm-hmm.
You don't have to hop in the shower?
No, we ain't really got to hop in the shower every day for real like that.
But y'all balls be sweating.
And we be, we be do-walking.
We still be screaming.
But y'all, y'all got to hop in that bitch every day.
Okay.
Don't have to do what you call, you know, f***ing ambivalence.
Do y'all think that too?
No, I got to wash.
I'm a night sweater.
You know what I'm saying?
And you know what's crazy?
I say at least three times a week,
I don't know how people don't wash
and how people don't work out.
Those are two things you have to do.
You have to do that.
You got to wash and you got to work out.
I wash twice a day.
Morning and night.
You know, I do think during the pandemic,
even when it first started
and we were working from home,
I was still taking a shower
before I came downstairs to do the show. Now, pandemic, I ain't going to lie. If I wasn't leaving the pandemic, even when it first started and we were working from home, I was still taking a shower before I came downstairs to do the show.
Now, pandemic, I ain't going to lie.
If I wasn't leaving the house, I'm chilling.
I'm a night sweater, man.
I'm a night sweater, too.
I'm a night sweater, especially if I got that comfort over me.
If that comfort over me, I wake up drenched.
I got to go take a shower.
Mm-hmm.
All right, now.
Also, Kodak was on Million Dollars Worth the Game,
and when asked about somebody who he wants to work with who he hasn't,
here's what he said.
Who are artists in the game you want to work with that you ain't work with yet?
Beyonce.
I got two bars.
I want to do just two bars.
Just two bars.
What's the two bars?
Here's some pictures of your family and our children.
Baby boy, you're the only one missing.
That's all.
And I got it.
That's it.
Drop on a clue, man, for Kodak Black.
Two lines.
Kodak Black is one of my favorite artists.
And Back 4 Everything is a great album.
Go get that if you haven't got it yet.
Salute to my guys, Wallo and Gilly.
A million dollars worth of game.
But I'm telling you, it's going to be a moment where Kodak Black is going to be the biggest rapper in the game.
It's going to be a moment.
It's coming.
And it's going to have something to do with Drake.
Watch.
All right.
Now, Diddy's son Quincy is saying that he was on a JetBlue flight last week and things got physical.
And he says he got physically assaulted ahead of that flight.
Here's what he said happened.
The pilot put his hands on me.
Why?
Because my bag, which fits in my pocket damn near, they claimed it didn't fit.
The pilot comes with my bag bag tells me to get my
diabetic medication out first of all it's anxiety medication not that he looks at me and says you're
not taking this back on the plane i say yes i am he said no you're not grabs me and drags me on the
jet bridge that's when i got my phone out i didn't knock him out and everything was just uncalled for
he said i didn't knock him out correct no he was just uncalled for. He said, I didn't knock him out, correct?
No, he did not knock him out.
Diddy is somewhere right now saying, see, this is why my
kids shouldn't fly public transportation.
I'm providing the PJ
from now on for my children.
Okay?
Alright, now Spice.
We gotta send some love to Spice.
She posted on social media,
Besties, I'm taking a break from social media.
I'm not as strong as I used to be. In fact, I'm
weak and tired of being a target.
Please pray for me while I pray for myself.
I love you all until the
death of me. So shout out to
our dance hall queen, Spice,
who is going through it right now.
Now, I was trying to figure out what happened
and it appears that she was on
a song with Pastor Stephen Blake.
And she did not like the fact that the song was an unfinished demo.
She said, I asked you privately not to release that unfinished demo that we started working on from 2020.
And you still continue to clout chase because of your own church sister.
I don't know about you, but one thing I don't do is play with God.
And so she wants him to take her voice out of the song.
And I guess she's just tired of having to fight all the time.
And she said there's no more strength in her left to fight.
So I'm hoping and praying that she's OK.
The song is called Solid Ground.
Here's a snippet of the song that she was saying is not official.
Morning, everybody.

I want to shout to everybody out that pre-ordered my book, Real Life, Real Love.
It's a relationship book that kind of just talks about me and my wife's relationship,
how we stayed together, all the things that we've been through, the ups, the downs.
I bet you ain't talking about how you left her in economy
while you was in first class.
The insecurities, the forgiveness, raising our children.
Of course you want forgiveness after you leave her in economy
when you're in first class.
I cannot wait to read my copy.
I'm going to give y'all some juicy tidbits.
I got it right now.
I got it sent to me yesterday in a PDF file,
and I went straight to page 69.
You are something else.
So if you haven't pre-ordered, pre-order the book.
I know a lot of times we don't like to pre-order.
We like to get it.
But with everything that's going on right now, printing and everything's on back order.
So if you don't pre-order your book, you won't get it when it comes out on the 19th.
Did y'all read your Audible book?
We read Audible next week, actually.
Good.
We do the Audible next week. A. Good. We do the Audible next week.
Audible will account for a lot of sales.
Also, tonight is the season finale of Kings of Napa on OWN.
So make sure you guys tune into that.
I've actually been watching the show.
Envy, I showed you some highlights.
Yeah.
It's really interesting.
There's a lot of family drama.
They're trying to find out who is this person that's trying to extort everybody.
And so this is what the season has been leading up to.
There's a lot of family drama on there, you know.
So I know you guys will enjoy it.
And some things you will relate to and some things you'll be like, oh, my goodness.
But, yeah.
So if you haven't been watching that, you guys got to catch up and then watch the season finale tonight on OWN.
All right.
Well, you guys have a great day.
Sheldon, you got a positive note?
I do, man.
And it's simple.
2022, this is March 1st.
We're already in the third month of the year.
Just know this isn't a year for chasing or forcing anything.
It's a year for alignment.
Breakfast club, bitches!
We all finished or y'all done?
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.
What is that?
Bullets.
