Starting point is 00:01:40 DJing Angela Yee and Charlamagne 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:04:00 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:18 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.
Starting point is 00:04:33 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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
Starting point is 00:05:22 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?
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:21 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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?
Starting point is 00:06:58 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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?
Starting point is 00:08:40 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.
Starting point is 00:08:58 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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,
Starting point is 00:09:34 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,

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.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace for yourself.

Starting point is 00:17:58 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.
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:53 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 what to do. Nah, bro. Wear your mask to keep you safe. I'm just confused. Tell you, yeah, man, do what you feel
Starting point is 00:19:14 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.
Starting point is 00:19:21 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?
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:46 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?
Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:22:06 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
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:47 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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
Starting point is 00:24:21 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
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:24:52 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
Starting point is 00:25:08 into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. If you're a true music lover, you live for that connection with your favorite music and artists. Now, thanks to One Of and the NFT revolution, that connection is about to get much deeper. Learn more about One
Starting point is 00:25:24 Of, the new green NFT platform built for the music community at OneOf.com. WWPR FM HD1 New York. And iHeart Radio Station. 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?
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:26:14 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,
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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.
Starting point is 00:27:55 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:29 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:15 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.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.

If you just joined us, we're talking about an incident that happened in the New York City subway.
Starting point is 00:34:30 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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
Starting point is 00:35:54 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
Starting point is 00:36:34 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
Starting point is 00:36:51 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
Starting point is 00:36:59 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:32 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,
Starting point is 00:37:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:13 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,
Starting point is 00:38:28 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 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?
Starting point is 00:38:46 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
Starting point is 00:39:01 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,
Starting point is 00:39:10 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?
Starting point is 00:39:19 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:40:06 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.
Starting point is 00:40:22 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
Starting point is 00:40:37 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.
Starting point is 00:40:50 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.
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:11 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...
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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
Starting point is 00:41:46 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.
Starting point is 00:42:01 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. 585-1051.

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?
Starting point is 00:46:10 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.
Starting point is 00:46:26 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?
Starting point is 00:46:46 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.
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:14 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.
Starting point is 00:47:33 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
Starting point is 00:47:50 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
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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.
Starting point is 00:48:42 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.
Starting point is 00:48:54 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
Starting point is 00:49:06 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.
Starting point is 00:49:22 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.
Starting point is 00:49:39 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.
Starting point is 00:50:16 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.
Starting point is 00:50:47 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
Starting point is 00:51:06 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.
Starting point is 00:51:48 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.

Starting point is 00:53:19 Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that?

Starting point is 00:54:07 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.

Starting point is 00:55:11 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.
Starting point is 00:55:28 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?
Starting point is 00:55:42 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.
Starting point is 00:55:59 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.
Starting point is 00:56:14 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.
Starting point is 00:56:33 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.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Let's be clear, the game wouldn't be the game without Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Correct. Collaborating. Correct. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:56:52 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
Starting point is 00:56:58 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
Starting point is 00:57:04 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
Starting point is 00:57:19 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

Starting point is 00:57:50 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?
Starting point is 00:58:10 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?
Starting point is 00:58:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:40 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. If you're a true music lover, you live for that connection with your favorite music and artists. Now, thanks to 1UP and the NFT revolution, that connection is about to get much deeper. Learn more about 1UP, the new green NFT platform built for the music community at 1UP.com. I was born a donkey.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:22 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
Starting point is 00:59:45 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.
Starting point is 01:00:05 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
Starting point is 01:00:26 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
Starting point is 01:01:06 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
Starting point is 01:01:45 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?
Starting point is 01:02:12 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.
Starting point is 01:02:39 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.
Starting point is 01:03:03 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.
Starting point is 01:03:41 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.
Starting point is 01:03:52 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
Starting point is 01:04:02 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.
Starting point is 01:04:28 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.
Starting point is 01:04:37 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.
Starting point is 01:04:48 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
Starting point is 01:05:04 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.
Starting point is 01:05:18 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.
Starting point is 01:05:26 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.
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:49 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?
Starting point is 01:06:00 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.
Starting point is 01:06:21 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,
Starting point is 01:06:36 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.
Starting point is 01:06:54 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

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.
Starting point is 01:07:38 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.
Starting point is 01:07:51 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?
Starting point is 01:08:16 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,
Starting point is 01:08:37 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
Starting point is 01:08:50 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.
Starting point is 01:09:06 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.
Starting point is 01:09:17 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.
Starting point is 01:09:29 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.
Starting point is 01:09:41 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.
Starting point is 01:09:51 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.
Starting point is 01:10:07 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?
Starting point is 01:10:14 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.
Starting point is 01:10:23 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.
Starting point is 01:10:37 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.
Starting point is 01:10:52 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?

Starting point is 01:11:55 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
Starting point is 01:12:10 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?

Starting point is 01:12:50 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.
Starting point is 01:13:03 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.

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?
Starting point is 01:13:25 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,
Starting point is 01:13:42 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.
Starting point is 01:13:57 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
Starting point is 01:14:14 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?
Starting point is 01:14:29 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:15:08 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.
Starting point is 01:15:24 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
Starting point is 01:15:45 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.
Starting point is 01:16:02 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?
Starting point is 01:16:15 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.
Starting point is 01:16:27 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.
Starting point is 01:16:35 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.
Starting point is 01:16:52 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.
Starting point is 01:17:07 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.
Starting point is 01:17:13 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.
Starting point is 01:17:21 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
Starting point is 01:17:28 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
Starting point is 01:17:34 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
Starting point is 01:17:41 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.
Starting point is 01:17:55 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.
Starting point is 01:18:09 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
Starting point is 01:18:21 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.
Starting point is 01:18:36 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.
Starting point is 01:18:54 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,
Starting point is 01:19:09 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.
Starting point is 01:19:23 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?
Starting point is 01:19:37 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.
Starting point is 01:19:52 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.
Starting point is 01:20:04 Good morning. the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:20:15 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.
Starting point is 01:20:40 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.
Starting point is 01:20:57 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,
Starting point is 01:21:07 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,
Starting point is 01:21:21 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.
Starting point is 01:21:31 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.
Starting point is 01:21:46 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.
Starting point is 01:22:02 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.
Starting point is 01:22:11 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.
Starting point is 01:22:22 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
Starting point is 01:22:52 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.
Starting point is 01:23:16 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.
Starting point is 01:23:31 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.
Starting point is 01:23:50 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.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Here's a snippet of the song that she was saying is not official. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
