DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Solomon Gay. Yo, Solomon. What up, my G? Envy, what up? What up, Ray J? What happened, man? and Solomon Gaye. We want interviews. We want interviews. We want everything. No one benefits from getting in here just talking records. I got to be honest. I didn't think you was going to make it. 10 years, man. 10 years strong. Breakfast Club, man.

Right. So you know what that means? 10 years. They've been nuts. They've been nuts. They've just been nuts. The Breakfast Club. The wake up show.

Show. Show. In the morning. Wake up. Wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Hello, my name's Melissa. Hey, Melissa. From Long Island. Hello, how are you? Hey, Melissa. Good morning. Get it off your chest, Melissa. All right, so I was thinking that I would much rather lick some random ass booty than take this vaccine.

First of all, you're out of context right now. We got to explain to people what happened because they're going to be like, what is wrong with Melissa just calling up there early in the morning before she had green tea or anything. Yesterday we had a topic where we asked you, would you rather take the vaccine or lick a random stranger's booty? Boom. Now. Makes sense. Due to the fact that I don't feel people are really doing much research into the vaccine and don't realize

that it's actually like a genetic DNA manipulation opposed to the traditional vaccine where, you know, they just put a little bit of the virus and your body fights it off. Like you had said, same here. I mean, I took the uh you know flu shot whatever growing up now that you know i can make my own decisions and whatnot people aren't

realizing also uh this actually produces antibodies against a protein that is essential to reproducing to placenta oh no what you what you said earlier is what I read yesterday, that there's no actual COVID-19 in the vaccine. Like, you know, in the flu, they put a little bit of the flu in you, so you get it to build up antibodies. They don't have that in the vaccine

from what I read yesterday. Yeah, no, this is actually, like, it's hijacking cell genes then causing you to be immune from it, supposedly. Who knows? But I'm just saying I think people need to be doing their own research on this, and that includes

looking in the ingredients in the vaccine and then researching the ingredients themselves. And don't nobody read ingredients on that. Somebody eating some cereal right now and don't know what's in it. You know how many people's butts is just dirty? You just want to eat all type of

ishy butt, huh? Then take the vaccine? Yeah, sure. Well, just do some research on them butt s***, baby, before you start anal snacking, okay? Well, I'll tell you what. You're right that these people need to do some research on this vaccine as well. No doubt. She thought about it.

She was like, you know what? Nah, you're right. I do need to research these motherfuckers. Have a good one. Thank you, Melissa. Listerine. Thank you. Have a good day.

You too. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Jarrett. What's up, Jarrett? Hey, how you doing, man? What's going on? Peace, King. Not much.

How you doing, Charlemagne? How you doing, Envy? Good. Yo, what happened to Jarrett from Subway? He went to jail, right? Yeah, he's in jail. Nah, bro, don't play that game., what happened to Jared from Subway? He went to jail, right? Yeah, he's in jail. Nah, bro, don't play that game. I'm not Jared from Subway.

I'm like Jared the jeweler. We'll go with that. Okay, all right. Get it off your chest, Jared. Yeah, man, so I brought up my work. I don't want to talk about my job because I'm not trying to lose it, but I do have something to take off my chest. My wife's a nurse, and, you know,

these hospitals are starting to get fuller and fuller. And it seems like people, the more, the worse it gets, the more they just say, no mask, I'm not going to social distance. I work with people who, for nothing, will put their mask on. They don't want to put a mask on their face. They don't want to social distance. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to come to work anymore, you know. You know, I work hard, and it's important for me to work hard, but it really gets to the point where I don't even know how to feel

about these people anymore, you know. Why, because they don't wear masks and stuff? Yeah, they're not wearing masks, and, I mean, you're dealing with each other. They want to be up on you, one feet away, two feet away, you know, talking in your face, and you got to be trying to tell them to separate all the time. That's right.

What's wrong with boundaries, though? What's wrong with letting them know that? Like, look, I don't want you near me. You ain't wearing no mask, brother. I do that all the time. If you ain't got no mask on, back up. Man, and that's what it is. I mean, we're telling them, but, you know, at the workplace,

they got to have regulations and everybody got to be following regulations. But certain people, it's not expected of them, you know. And I just think that's a big deal. If we can't even get the workplace to, you know, do things correctly, how are we going to get average people out there in the street, you know, putting masks on and, you know, how are we going to protect them? Well, we can't, and that's the problem. And that's why we're in the situation that we're in now.

Americans are spoiled, bro. Americans don't listen. We don't follow rules well. Yeah, man. I just wanted to say, I just want to shout out rules well. Yeah, man. Just one or two things. I just want to shout out my mom, Lizette Williams. I love you to death. I love her too, man.

Yeah, my brother, Brandon Williams. I just want to say one thing about my boy, Savon LeCue out of Miami. He's a really dope rapper. I don't know if you guys ever heard of him. Uh-uh. But check him out. Savon LeCue.

That guy, I'm telling you, he is the truth. Sylvain Lequeu. Thank you, brother. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it. Say it. Say it.

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this? Hey, this is Nick. Nick, what up, man from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nick. Nick, what up, man? Get it off your chest. Nick on the d***. You like reindeer in here, elf on the shelf.

Solomon the God, what's up, man? Peace, King. I'm from South Carolina, too, man. Okay, what part? Aiken. Aiken, what's happening, Aiken? Not much, man. I'm staying up here in Columbia.

I'm sorry. I'm staying up here in Lexington, Kentucky right now. Okay. Yeah, I was trying to get some advice, man, because like, I've been staying up here since I came home from prison. I was locked up for selling drugs, but I wanted to

change my life around, but I stayed up. I came up here. The person that I came up here with family, but me and the person don't talk no more. So it's like I want to go back home, but Aiton, South Carolina ain't the place to be, like especially trying to get a good job, like anywhere. But it's also hard for me up here

because I ain't got no financial support or nobody to help me out in no kind of way. Well, it sounds to me like, you know, you already know you needed a change of environment. So if you know you don't need to be in Aiken, you can scratch that off the list. That's not a thing, right? Yes, sir. So you just got to stay where you at and figure it out, make it work. What is it that you want to do?

Like, I've been working since I've been up here. I'm working for the chimp service right now, but I'm going to be hired on soon. But it's hard because, like, I had Rothschild back a little while ago because, like, my windshield done got broke. It's like other things that I've been having to deal with during this pandemic that's going on. But it's, like I said, it's just hard not having nobody there in your corner for you. Well, listen, you're going to be fine, my brother.

It just takes patience. All right? Yes, sir. All right. Keep pushing on, brother. Keep pushing. All right. Thank y'all.

Y'all have a good day. You too. Hello, who's this? What's up, y'all? This is James from Indianapolis. What up, James? Get it off your chest, brother. First of all, I want to congratulate y'all for a good day. You too. Hello, who's this? What's up, y'all? This is James from Indianapolis. What up, James? Get it off your chest, brother. First of all, I want to congratulate y'all for 10 years, man.

Good content, man. Righteous and wretched. Thank you, King. Thank you, brother. And I want to share my favorite Breast of Club moment. What's that? Other than the Birdman situation, the Benny Siegel situation was funny too, man. Why y'all like to see people try to traumatize me?

I thought that was pretty hilarious myself. It was cool, man. It was cool. Charlamagne didn't buckle, though. He didn't buckle. I never buckle. He sure didn't. You're right.

He didn't. He stood his ground. What is buckling? And, yeah, thanks, guys, man. I appreciate y'all. And my birthday is this weekend too. Oh yeah, thanks, guys, man. I appreciate y'all. And my birthday is this weekend, too. Oh, man, enjoy it, man. I mean, you can't.

Where you from? You can't go anywhere, right? Oh, no, man. Not in Indiana. Yeah, I wouldn't want to date you. Your birthday too close to Christmas. And you got a penis, but, you know, that's a whole other story. I wouldn't want to date him there because you're married.

No, no. Don't f*** me that, too. Yeah, that, too. Married, you got a penis. You're not my type. You're him there because you're married. No, no. Don't f*** me. That too. Yeah, that too. Married, you got penis. You're not my type. You're flirting so early in the morning. Thank you, mama. No f***.

Watch it. Whoa. God dang. That thing is great. My God. Why do people got to stress that? I don't know. Right?

Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Keisha from Texas. How y'all doing? Hey, Keisha from Texas. What part of Texas? Dallas, Texas. So I have to listen on the app, and I don't mind that at all. Oh, where them bum-ass cowboys are from.

You know I love Dallas. You know I love my cowboys. Don't listen to Envy. Okay, so now since, congratulations on 10 years. Thank you. Now since you are an executive of iHeart, I've got to hear you say, Lord have mercy. There's something about the way you say that, darling, that drives me insane.

I love it and I laugh every time. Oh, boy. Lord have mercy. I can't believe you like to hear me say, Lord have mercy. You flirting with that man. That man married, mama. No, no, no. Oh, no, I'm not flirting with him. And I love it when you say, I'm calling HR. I'm calling HR. I'm calling HR.

You guys, you guys draw the attention. You guys won't be back until 2021. I needed to hear, I'm calling HR, and Lord have mercy. Well, the beauty of it is that we run a lot of, we run best of shows until January the 5th. So, you know, it gives people an opportunity to catch up on Breakfast Club content they may have missed. Yeah, and I love it.

I'm still going to listen. But Charlamagne, one more time for me. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Why are you stressing me out early this morning? Got me repeating that over and over and over. Yeah, good morning. Love y'all.

Bye. Love you, too. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I 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? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-Stan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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 High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people, you know, follow and admire join me every week for post run

high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to post run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

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

You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kirk Franklin.

Yee. Kirk, while you're at home during this time, have you been inspired musically just by everything that's going on around you? You know, if I can be honest with you, one of the reasons why I wore this shirt today is because I started by going to therapy during this pandemic. I can be now, as I've been going to therapy now off and on for about the last 30 years, you know, dealing with my, uh, just dealing with my abandonment issues, dealing with, you know, just the rejection I had as a kid, a lot of the trauma that I've suffered as a young

man. And so therapy and my faith have been my, they've just been my lifeboat. And so the trauma of, first of all, the pandemic, and then now what's happening now is that I started going back to my therapist. And I can be honest and tell you that the motivation to do a lot of music, it's been off and on just because I've been just really struggling. I've been really struggling trying to get people just to hold on. It's almost like, where does the physician go when he's sick? You know, I'm getting myself back together just because I think that y'all needed Sunday, but I needed Sunday too, because I needed that versus moment too. Now, what have you been going through?

You said you were going through a lot, and I'm sure people are going through the same thing. What were you dealing with that you said, you know what, I got to go see a therapist right now? Was it anxiety? What was it that you say, I have to? Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I've always struggled with anxiety. And then, you know, just as a creative,

I think almost every creative, and I'm questioning all three of y'all feel this, it's because y'all are curators. And then the attention that y'all give and just the gravity of y'all's platform, you know, to whom much is given, much is required. And a lot of times people don't know. And I'm questioning y'all can demand this. When you live in the public eye, your highs and your lows are different. And so that type of pressure that you live up under is not realistic so um you know just in

the pressures of the world or or are people trusting that you always got to answer and that you always having to be ready to give an answer um can be very discouraging can be very heavy and and and i carry the weight of people's hurt very real. Like, bro, like, no cap, I'm telling you. I would not be doing this music if I did not believe in the dude that I rock with. So it's like, I got to have somebody to be able to blow up this team. I can't go to White Feet with that every day, you know?

She need me to be strong with her soul. It's like, I got to go to somebody who I can go, man, these Christians are f***ing me off. It's like, man, somebody else got shot. Man, what do I do, man? It's like, people ain't working right now, you know? And I got a whole crew that I got to take care of, man, these Christians are f***ing me off. It's like, man, somebody else got shot. Man, what do I do, man? It's like people ain't working right now, you know? And I got a whole crew that I got to take care of, man. You know? And so that type

of pressure is I need somebody to pour into me so that when I get on these incredible platforms with y'all, I'll have something to be able to say. Absolutely. Hey, Kirk, you know what's so interesting, man? You know, prior to the quarantine, my therapist had been trying to tell me for the longest, let go of things that you can't control. You know what I mean?

And I could never grasp that concept until the quarantine because we had never experienced anything like coronavirus. So you know what I did? I flipped it right it it i started leaning more into my faith side because i already had gotten what i needed from going to therapy all of those those those past these past couple years i started leaning into my faith side so it was more bishop td jakes more stephen ferdick more pastor john gray more minister farrakhan you know i mean that is the job that i want to be able to communicate to to culture as well, is that at the end of the day, you are spiritual beings.

If you live your life dependent upon the natural world to be able to feel something that the natural world does not have the ingredients to do, that's why no matter how good sex has been for a lot of human beings, a lot of people don't stay with that same one. You're always looking for something different. No matter how much that drug made you feel at that moment, you're looking for the next high just because the natural world can't speak to the depth of the cry of your soul. Your soul was created for something bigger that the human world is not able to be able to fulfill it with. And so that's why I'm always trying to be a messenger to clean up what a lot of the history of Christianity has messed up

because Christianity and Jesus are not always synonymous. Explain a little bit. Well, Christianity is the form in which we try to communicate what the teachings of Jesus is or what the teaching of Jesus was. But in the sinfulness of man throughout the narrative of that historical context, there has been a lot of distraction. There's been a lot of abuse of power. There's been a lot of misuse of the statements of Jesus Christ. But that does not mean that the historic individual of Jesus Christ and what he stood for and for what he preached is always reflected in the actions historically,

whether through the Crusades, whether through the conquest, whether through Jim Crow, whether through colonialism, Christianity was always leading in those narratives, and we've got to confess those sins. In order to get it right, we've got to confess what's wrong. And so that's why I'm always an advocate for platforms like apologetics, to be able to communicate the historical accurate narrative of the gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as pointing out the bull and the foolishness that Christianity historically has done. Absolutely. I got one last question for Brother Kirk. I was watching Bishop T.D. Jake Sunday, and this is a conversation that a lot of me and my folks have been having. Do you believe, Kirk, that

we're in the end of times? I think that a lot of people can be so enamored with the conversation of what does this mean versus what do we do? I think that it's easier to try to figure out

what's happening out there instead of looking at this moment to see what needs to be fixed in here. Does that make sense what I'm saying? Perfect sense. And so I would encourage people, I encourage people to stop trying to be so worried about where God is instead of trying to be more focused on, it's God with me. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

Mm. Thank you, brother, for checking in, man. Thank you, man. We appreciate you so much, man. This was an honor. Thank you. Thank you, man. Yes, sir.

All right, it's Kirk Franklin. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's DJ MV Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the breakfast club good morning good morning what's happening happy holidays what are we talking about today now if you just join us we're talking about Mel B now she does something I think is pretty odd you want to explain what

she does or what she did she actually got a want to explain what she does, Yee? Yes, she actually got a tattoo removed of her ex. You know, she's getting divorced. And she got, instead of laser removal for that tattoo, she got it cut out of her body and she keeps the skin in a jar. That's weird. That is called root. That is voodoo, black magic, all right?

You cut the name off your skin, put it in a jar, have a little witch doctor or something put a little whammy on it. Don't nobody touch that jaw because if you do, the spell will be broken. And as long as that name is in that jaw, Stephen Belafonte will have erectile dysfunction for the rest of his life. Or at the least cough up a frog or two. Everything from the past goes in the garbage. Nothing from the past. No letters, no pictures, nothing.

Everything thrown away. Do you keep it, Diggie? Yeah, I actually have a lot of things from ex past. No letters, no pictures, nothing, everything thrown away. Do you keep it in the key? Yeah, I actually have a lot of things from exes. I actually have all my letters and cards and notes that I used to pass in class

and all of that in a huge box. Well, I mean, listen, how long you been with your woman, Envy? 24 years, married 17. I've been with my woman 20 years, married 4.

Okay? I'm 40. There's no exes. All right? I don't even remember what an X is. An X. Most of the stuff I have is really from high school because nobody really wrote letters after that.

That's what I'm saying. So if your woman is still saving letters from high school, that letter really means a lot to her. And that person meant a lot to her. And that person that wrote that letter, you know, could never be duplicated. You know what I'm saying? I also grew up as a writer, like when I was young. And, you know, could never be duplicated. You know what I'm saying? I also grew up as a writer, like when I was young and I read a lot. And so I keep all of those things, even from

my friends who are women. Yeah, but you're not married, G. Imagine being married for 17 years. Alright? And you've been with this guy that you married to since y'all was kids, but you keep a letter from the exes? That mean you keep a letter from when you was like 17, 18.

Like those first feelings of love. There's no love. Those first feelings of love have not been duplicated at all. Feelings alike. No man has ever made you feel the way that that first person made you feel. And I broke my wife's virginity, so I don't know what you're talking about. We did nothing to know all that.

Wasn't we talking about magic fingers earlier? Nope, nope, no magic fingers. I burnt those letters up initially. Magic finger. Wasn't we talking about magic fingers earlier? Nope, nope. No magic fingers. But I burnt those letters up. What letters? What are you talking about? Who just joined us? I'm not talking about nothing. What are you talking about?

I ain't talking about nothing. You sound insecure. Natasha. Hi. Good morning, Natasha. Good morning. You keep anything from your ex? I definitely do not.

The only thing I kept from my ex is our son. Oh. I'm glad you kept that. I wouldn't you kept that. I wouldn't let that go, but it was so deep that I had to get rid of the cell phone that I used to text him from because I would search and I'd type in bae and then he'd pop up.

Even though he was deleted, he still, like, all my text messages would pop up. I was like, ah, we got to get rid of this. All right, I feel you. All right, manager. Thank you, mama. Nyjah! What's up, baby?

What's up, mama? Did she call you lady? I don't know what she called me. She said baby. Oh, what's up? Now, do she call you lady? I don't know what she called me. She said baby. Oh. What's up? Now, do you throw everything away from your past relationships? I'm throwing everything away.

Like, I'm not keeping nothing. What do I need memories of an ex for? Like, I'm throwing everything away. Like, I used to live, me and my wife used to live together. And, like, she would come over and still say, oh, you got my shirt. You know, I'm just trying to find ways to come back. And I'm just like, baby, I threw my shirt. You know, I'm just trying to find ways to come back. And I'm just like, baby, I threw everything away. You know, you ain't got to come back for nothing else.

What if she gave you a Rolex? Oh, that's different now. That's my Rolex. Oh, okay. It is all about the cost of the gift. You ain't giving back no Bentley. You ain't giving back no type of car. And you ain't giving back no jewelry.

At all. No money, no none of that. So how y'all going to be picky and choosy about what to keep and what to give away? Well, some things that an ex gives you, you ain't got no choice but to keep, like herpes. Salute to everybody out there. Salute to everybody out there who ex gave them herpes. And they ain't got no choice but to live with that and keep that for the rest of their life. Hello, who's this?

It's Rakim from Duval. Rakim, do you keep anything from your ex? No, bro. No need to. I've been married for four years, been with my girl for seven, and there's no need to, bro. You got to hold on for something from the past, bro.

You might as well try to head back in that direction. Yeah, that's how I feel. I don't understand why, you know, somebody would hold on to something from their past, especially if they've been together for so long. Like, imagine being with somebody for 17 years. They were 10 years old and 12 years old. What is that they were 10?

Somebody wrote my wife a letter. Why is this hitting so close to home? I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you. You're going to point a finger, point a finger, point a magic finger at me. I'm just saying. Somebody was writing letters to my wife when they were 10 years old. She kept it as memories as, oh, that's so cute.

And I burnt them. I don't like it. Whatever is in the past, stay in the past. And you shouldn't. Y'all been married for 40 years. How long y'all been married, seriously? 17 years. 17 years.

Y'all been together 24. 24 years. There's no reason for her to be keeping stuff in her exes. And that's what I said, and that's why I burnt them letters up. It's so crazy, because I do have a, like I said, I have a huge box filled with, like, letters from my friends when they went away, out of town, from exes, like, everything together in a box. I haven't even separated it, but I kept it all.

Yeah, but you got recent exes, G. You used to steal live chat. No, this is all from, like, together in a box. I haven't even separated it, but I kept it all. Yeah, but you got recent X's, G. You used to steal live chat. No, this is all from like high school and college. Ain't nobody about to know Rolex in high school. No, I'm talking about a box of letters. Oh. But my whole thing is what I'm saying is that it doesn't really, I never thought of it like as something that would be offensive to anybody.

I used to be a little insecure. Because nobody writes letters now. I even found a watch that somebody gave my wife when I think they were like 12, 13. I definitely ran over that watch with my car. Oh, my gosh. Why? She still got all these little trinkets, all these little 12 days of Christmas where you buying her all this stuff, and she's still keeping watches from middle school?

They were 10 years old, so, man, they're just little cutie, cutie things. I think that's cute. Well, they're all gone now. It's not a big deal. Tell her to grow up. They are gone now. And that watch, I ran over it 10 times. Little memories are so cute.

Rebecca. Hey. Come on in, Rebecca that watch I ran over 10 times. Little memories are so cute. Rebecca. Hey. Come on in, Rebecca. Okay, yeah. So I have like an Xbox. I like, not like the video game. Yeah, I was like, okay, me too. Yeah.

So I dated this guy from like eighth grade to senior year of high school. And I kept literally everything. But the weird thing that I kept was he gave me a lemon. A lemon? A lemon. It is great. I swear to God, he gave me a lemon. And I still have it in the box.

It's not, like, rotten or anything. That's a goddamn lie. It should be rotten. That's not a real lie. That's a damn lie. No, it doesn't smell or anything. It's, like, hollow and hard. And I don't know why. Like him and his heart.

Why are you keeping that? Yeah, that's disgusting. I don't know. It was, like, the reason why we started talking in the first place. Why? Did you want him back? Y'all bonded over lemons? He, like, convinced me that it was, like, this really rare, like, lemon from, like, Cuba or something like that.

Like, I don't even know. Sounds like a red flag to me. He lied to you immediately. Yeah, that came from Stop and Shop, Mama. Well, if you fell in love with a man that gave you a lemon, wait until somebody gives you an apple or a watermelon. You're gonna really be head over heels. I can't even make lemonade out of that. I'm older now. I'm not gonna do that s***. Don't curse.

Alright, come on. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is, man, let's say a prayer and salute everybody out there who is keeping things from their exes that they can't give back like herpes. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making rockets with black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.

Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line, an icon, a legend, and a true queen. A queen. Miss Felicia Rashad. Welcome. Thank you. Good morning. I feel like you're my mom. I've been watching you for so long.

I just feel like I know everything about you. I feel like your mom. Hey, ma. I just want to say good morning, ma. Good morning, son. How you doing? He too rad to be yours. He too rad to be yours. He too rad to be yours.

No, he's not. No, he's not. I hate Zoom interviews, and this is one time I really hate Zoom interviews because I would love to be in your presence. Absolutely. That's very kind. Well, you know what? When we can, we will. How have you been maintaining through this whole pandemic? Well, let's see. First of all, I've been very grateful. I've been very grateful to be in my home and to have a home to be in.

I've been very grateful that my family and friends are fine. I've been very grateful to be able to assist people in the ways that I've been able to do. And I've had able to do. And I've had work to do. Of course, it's different because everything is through the computer. I pray we will not live like this forever. Same. Because it ain't natural and it ain't good for the eyes either. What have you learned about yourself mentally and spiritually? Anything new? Yeah. You know, you asked that question and I'm always a little hesitant to say these things because, well, anyway, I'll just say it because you asked. It's so important to find that silent space inside the mind. It's so important to find that space,

especially now because there's so much clatter and so much chatter and so much pull to the left and then pull to the right and just being pull, pull, pull, if you allow it to be that way. And then the mind, you know, it has its own way of jumping around. Yes, it does. So it's so important to find the silence. You know what? If we stopped pining for the things that we think we don't have and look at what we do have and what we can do, it's a much better place to come from, I think.

Yeah. And it allows us to create a better place. Right. So, yeah, there are things that I do miss. I miss live theater, yeah. Just the other day I was thinking how privileged we've been for so long without understanding the fullness of our privilege to be able to go to a movie. Right. Yes, yes, yes. the fullness of our privilege to be able to go to a movie. Right. Yes. Yes.

To be able to sit in a theater or in a restaurant or to hug people or to be with people when they're making their transition from this form to the next, you know. We didn't understand our full privilege. And maybe, you know, when we, if it changes, well, I should say when it changes, I just don't know what it's going to change to. But we'll come into a, we should come into a better understanding of just what the privilege of being with people is. And maybe we'll be kinder to one another. How have your kids been? How have they been? Are they been around? Are they been staying away? How has that been? Well, my son lives on the West Coast. My daughter, at the beginning of this pandemic, had just returned from Italy. She had been in Italy and she had

just returned. And I was just returning from work on Empire in Chicago. Then everything shut down. And my daughter wouldn't come and see me. Stay away from you. That's right. She did. But what she did do when I was returning home, she would come to the house before I arrived, and she had stocked the refrigerator and the shelves.

And she said, Mommy, you don't go outside. You don't go to the store. You stay here. And she would call to make sure I was not outside. And I had to laugh at that. I said, you're monitoring me like I'm you, but I'm not you. I'm me. And when it's time, I'm going outside.

My parents said the same thing. They said the same thing. They were like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm your parent. I'm going out when I want. You know, but don't think for a moment that what you did and what you said was not appreciated. Let me ask you a question, Queen.

Have you ever had to go off on any of your real kids the way you went off on Vanessa for going to see the wretched? And you're down in Baltimore having big fun. Weren't you, Vanessa? Isn't that where you were? Didn't you go down there to Baltimore and have big fun, Vanessa? Tell me, didn't you go for big fun? Mom. Shut up. Don't you dare open your mouth when I'm asking you a question. I only hope that you can have the same experience, Vanessa. I hope that one day you come to realize exactly how it feels to think that your child's life is in danger you have taken us from levels of frenzy panic distress and now that we know you're okay rage I said I

was sorry this is not gonna happen I know you're lying right now. Go to bed. Are you kidding? Of course. So what is your motivation when you did that episode? Understanding what that energy is was helped. Yes. I understood that energy very well. Yes. I mean, you know, people say, oh, oh, you're just a perfect mother.

And I look at them and smile and say, thank you. But, you know, it's easy when you're scripted and the children are scripted, too. But in real life, there are no scripts. Yeah. You know, the beauty of that Wretched episode, I've lived long enough to where I knew exactly what Vanessa's character felt like. And then I've lived long enough to know exactly what your character felt like. Isn't that something? Yeah.

Yeah. Because teenagers, children will sneak. I mean, it's part of being a teenager, right? Yeah. It seems like a scarier now, though. Oh, come on. It's so much scarier now. It is. And it's not young people's fault.

We are very, very, very distracted, and our children were being inundated with some of the worst kinds of diversions. And they have a language that you don't even know. Word. You know, I think that if we as adults were cognizant of the fact that every single thing we say and do creates a memory for our young, we might say and do differently. Absolutely. Because what do you really want the young person to learn? Here's the question. What is the most important thing for your young person to learn?

The most important thing that I wanted my children to learn was who are you really? And that's an inner journey. And you don't get to go on the inner journey pointing fingers outside of yourself. Another disturbing thing I heard recently from two different sources who don't even know each other. They both work in the field of pediatrics. They're both pediatricians. And one, they're friends of mine. And one of them said that in her waiting room, she has these books for children, right? A three-year-old child picks up the book and doesn't know how to turn the page. She tries to scan it.

Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Now that hurt. But this, okay. And then somebody on the other side of the country told me the same thing. Wow. Because young people are being given these devices. And they know.

And they know that this becomes your source of information and your only source of information. Which means you're going to receive what somebody wants you to receive. That's right. I think we want our young people to think deeper than that. Alright, we got more with Felicia

Rashad when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Shawty made that high fashion. Rashad, when we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Felicia Rashad. Now, I was going to say, from Houston, what made you come all the way to the East Coast to go to college,

to go to HBCU, and why was it important to go to an HBCU, the second real HU? Go ahead. Yeah, well, I wanted to be an actor and I wanted to study drama, right? And I was applying to all these schools and my father just looked at me and he let me do all that and he said, you're going to Howard. And I said, oh, but dad, what about this one and this?

He said, you're going to Howard. I never thought about going to a school that wasn't an HBCU. And that was because of my experience from a child. Before I started elementary school, I was in nursery school on the campus of Texas Southern University. He's trying to play you. Just so you know. He's trying to play you. I just wanted you to see the Hampton alumni.

I just wanted you to see that. So my grandmother went to Hampton. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Vivian Elizabeth Graham. Yes, she did. She made a great decision. Oh, yes, she did. I realize in greater measure how very fortunate I am to have attended an HBCU, not only for the astute professors who were teaching there, because they were of the highest caliber, but also for the other side of life, that social life, that socialization that helps to develop you as a, as a, as an adult, you know? Did you ever, did you ever lose yourself playing such a iconic role as claire huxtable meaning that you know did you ever forget who you were no okay okay no that that that that wasn't possible

because every every day i came home to my family and they ain't one here none of that claire huxtable stuff when you walk in the house well Well, you know, it's like, no. It's like, okay, so my best friend from college came to see a taping, and she said, Felicia, you ought to be ashamed of yourself taking those people's money for being yourself. That's what she did. And at home, I mean, when I say this, people imagine, always imagine what my life was like. Child, they had no idea.

I would come home and cook and prepare dinner. Wow. From fresh produce, no canned anything. Because I want my family to eat healthily. Some things you can get in a can, but most things, vegetables and stuff, have to be fresh. And I would do that every day. And in the early years of the show, let's say a third year, I had my baby with me. I was a nursing mother. I took Condola to the studio with me every day. Wow. Yeah. And you know, it's, and I came home with her at night and I was with my family. I wasn't out clubbing. I wasn't, you know, I wasn't doing stuff like that.

I didn't have time for that. And then, you know, there was school and then there was homework. Her brother's 13 years older than she was. And he was in the eighth grade when she was born. And I mean, you know, there I was. I mean, it's like you've got to hit it every day. So your daughter was born to be an actress. She grew up in it. She was all around it. She lived it.

So she was born to be an actress. You know what she did? She grew up around the work, and she saw what the work was. Her work ethic is incredible. You know, speaking of the work, I think you've got Black Box coming out on the 6th, right? Yeah, on the 6th. Yep. You've held the name of America's mother for so years.

Are you intentionally accepting roles in movies like A Fall from Grace and Black Box to kind of shift that image of you, I guess? A villain. That was an evil laugh. That's right evil laugh. That was an evil laugh. Wow. Wait a minute.

Let's explore that concept for just a moment. Okay. Evil. Evil. See, one of the things we learn in acting is not to judge our characters. You have to always understand what a person is thinking and why the person's thinking it. In my freshman year, one of my instructors said to me, I was having a fit about something someone had done. And he let me carry on and carry on.

And then when I calmed down, he said, Miss Allen, there's something I want you to remember. Even when somebody's being, and I'll say this, an SOB, they think they're right. Now think about the times you've seen somebody act a complete idiot and they think they're right. Yeah, I call that, I got a curse, I call that d***head momentum. Yeah, but they think they're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it just keeps building and building and building and building. So as an actor, that's my job, is to get inside what that thought is, you know.

So I'm not trying to depart from anything. There are all kinds. And it's interesting because they're all mothers, aren't they? Diana DuBois was a mother, right? Right. And Sarah in A Fall from Grace was what? A mother. I mean, you know, there's all kinds of women in this world

and all kinds of mothers too. You sound like you're about to play the villain in the next Black Panther movie with that laugh. Do you ever feel like certain roles are beneath you? I wouldn't say beneath me. I would just say they don't resonate with me. I don't like to be critical of other people's work because that's the easiest thing to be.

I just try to find what resonates with me. So what resonates with me? A good story that's told well resonates with me. A window of opportunity to explore creativity in a new way. That really resonates with me. You know, Black Box poses the question, do we

run our minds or do our minds run us? Isn't that true? What do you think the answer to that question is? Well, I... Well, what do you think? Do we run our minds or do our minds run us? I think our minds run us, but we have the ability to get ourselves back on the proper course.

Because I think we live in this world where there's so much noise that if you pay too much attention to the noise, people can start telling you how you're supposed to be but that's not necessarily you so you can silence that noise and really tap into your mind and figure out the path you're supposed to be on not the path people want you to be on right that's why i you know you asked me what i had learned about my mind and that's why i said it was important to find the silence within my mind i agree with you i think that most often times um we people are run by our minds and the mind often runs amok and here we are yeah yeah absolutely

and by the way it's fine too right because healing looks different for healing is healing is strange like that like one moment you're fine next minute you bugging out and i think that's okay it's all a process it is but but do we want to keep just going through that like that? No. No. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. And you've just brought up something that's really very interesting.

You said one minute you're fine and the next minute you're bugging out. That brings to my mind imagery of a pendulum. Yeah. Yeah. You want to bring that thing to center, right? Because it will swing as far to the left as it does to the right. And left, right, center. Yeah.

All right. We have more with Felicia Rashad when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Felicia Rashad. Now, you mentored Chadwick Boseman when he was in Howard. How did the loss of him impact you? And for people that don't know him personally, tell us something that we might not know about him. He's been up here a couple of times, and he's donated money to the causes that we were fighting for at the time. He's from South Carolina like me. He's always been a good brother. So tell us how that impact was. Well, you want to know something about him that you might not know? Yeah. Chadwick was given to study.

He loved to study. He studied through the lens of theater, first as a writer. He studied the meanings of words. I mean, he studied. And you can see this kind of thoughtfulness in his work. It's so subtle, you don't notice it at first, but you go back and you look at it again. He was a consummate artist, and without question question one of the kindest and bravest people i've ever known that's the piece of child yeah definitely rest of you i wanted to ask you about um the the the drake video when when drake called you to be in that video did you even know who he was of course i knew where you think i live under a rock i I knew who he was. I knew who he was. I hadn't been able to give answer to the

inquiry when I talked to my daughter. She said, oh, you have to do it. I said, okay, okay, okay. I had so much fun. That can't be the first time you've been asked to be in a rap video, though, right? Yes, it was. Really? What? Yeah. Wow. That's insane. insane wow as popular as you've

been for all these years you know things come when they should and don't when they shouldn't there you go how do you think black hollywood has evolved over the years since since you first came in it um there was always there were black people in positions that we weren't always conscious of, but not maybe so many. And now you see black people on many different levels, in many different areas, in many different positions. It's one thing for what you see on the screen, but you wouldn't see what's on that screen if it weren't for the work of the people who are not on that screen. And they are fundamental and essential to what it is we see. So we need a total equity in this nation of ours that includes all people. In my career, I have worked with only one Native American actor. That doesn't

make sense to me. I have worked with only one Asian American actor. That doesn't make sense to me. There's more for us to do in the field of inclusion. There's more for us to embrace. And I look forward to us doing that because I think that as a people, we are more than ready for it now. I look back on all of those shows that I grew up on in the 90s. And man, it just seemed like they were so brilliantly black. And I learned so much from them, whether it was Cosby, Different World, Living Single. I mean, even Martin, like all of those shows like that. I'm like, what did those sets look like?

Because they were so black that you would think that everybody on the set was black. All the writers, the directors, the people behind the camera. Was it not like that? No. Wow. No, it was not. Wow. It was not.

There were black people behind the camera. There were black people in the writer's room. But everybody was not black. No. But everybody was on board to deliver an excellent program. And that's what matters. Because all black people don't think alike. That's right.

And there were interns who were being hired every year. And a number of them were black. And some of them were not and some of them were not. Our stage managers were black and they were young people. And Mr. Cosby wanted that. So we had that and they were good. It was sharp.

Young people to keep it fresh, keep it new. Yeah, I mean, you know, there was a way of including people of different ethnicities. You see it reflected in Rudy's friends. You see her little friends. You see that, okay? There was a way of including people of ethnicities and generations. That was just a marvel to be a part of. And he was not going to have grandparents insulted and made fun of the way some shows do make fun of people

for being older he said no he said no we're not doing that our our young people uh show respect and it's not a forced thing it's inherent and he insisted on that he insisted on a lot of great things even when they introduced hip-hop and they brought and they bought in Erica Alexander and it wasn't like she was just some ghetto ratchet young lady, you know, she was just a person whose circumstances didn't deal her the best cause and she wanted a better life. Yeah. And he understood that. He understood that by virtue of the way he grew. You still speak to the other cast members because watching it seems like you guys would be on the phone with each other all day long. You don't think it's a job. Do you still speak to those other cast members? Because watching it seems like you guys will be on the phone with each other all day long. You don't think it's a job. Do you still speak to those other cast members at all?

Every now and then I will hear from Malcolm and Keisha. And they have beautiful children and they love them. And I told Malcolm he's a finished item. He has a daughter and he just, he can't give enough love.

He's just, he's finished. He's finished. And you're done, brother. You're done. Does it upset you that they don't, people don't want to air the episodes of The Cosby Show? Oh, no, it doesn't upset me.

People still watch. People find ways to watch, you know. I won't be upset by things because things change. Right. I won't be upset. And I won't be upset by things because things change. I won't be upset. And I won't be upset by things people do because people change. We see that it's something to see and to understand. Years ago, someone who loves me very much told me, she said to me, an image can be broken. Try to find out who you really are. Wow. That's tough to do in this business. It's not tough to do, but it can be a process just because everybody's

always trying to tell us what our image should be. And when you open up a magazine or you read a blog and people have a perception of you, like, oh, that's what they like. Let me give them more of that. So you become a caricature of yourself and things become performative without you even knowing it. That's a very interesting observation. It's what happens in interviews that isn't happening in this one. And I'm loving it. You know, when people interview you, they come, sometimes they come with their answers already in their heads to the questions

they've decided to ask you. Right. So you wonder why, well, what, what are we doing here? Why? Okay. What is this? What? Okay. Why have a conversation with me if you already think you know?

Correct. Yeah. Okay. So that lets me know one thing, if nothing else, you will leave this conversation thinking of the person that I'm speaking to. That person will leave the conversation knowing only what they thought they knew before the conversation began.

Well, we enjoy you, Queen Rashad and I. We could sit here and talk to you forever. And we appreciate you for checking in. We're so grateful and thankful. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you both. And please, when you are in New York, please stop by the studio. Absolutely. Okay, I will. Yeah, we have the rose petals on the ground for you to walk on York, please stop by the studio. Absolutely. Okay, I will.

Yeah, we have the rose petals on the ground for you to walk on. We have all that for you. Tea, coffee, whatever it is you need. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Queen. Thank you so much. Felicia Rashad.

This is a breakfast club, bitchy. Who's donkey. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. The breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day goes to a young 18-year-old rapper named

YBN Almighty J. Now, YBN Almighty J is an anti-social distancer, and you know what I say about anti-social distances. They're the same type of folks who wouldn't have gotten on the ark when Noah told them it was about to rain. And we've seen so many stories of antisocial distances getting sick.

And in some cases, like Bishop Gerald Glenn, who said, God is larger than Corona. Well, he died. So when we tell you that you need to practice antisocial distancing, we are telling you not just for your own good, but for the good of others, because we all got things to do. We all need to get back outside so we can get back to the real hustle of life. And we can't do that unless we social distance and flatten this curve. You see social distancing is working all around the country. So we need to continue to do more of it so we can get back outside. Now, YBN Almighty Jay is upset with us because of this rumor report. Let's hear it. YBN Almighty Jay, he was talking to TMZ and he said that he's just not taking coronavirus seriously. Here's what he said.

I've been recording music and playing the game, sleeping. Oh no, I ain't been really taking it serious. I just wish I could go somewhere, but I still been having like girls and stuff like pull ups and stuff. Even though you're supposed to be social distancing? Of course, we don't social distance. Are you checking their temperature or anything when they come in? Like, are you taking any precautions? Nah, man.

Well, he's a young man who also has unprotected sex with randoms, I'm sure. So if you have unprotected sex with randoms, you're damn sure ain't afraid of no coronavirus. Right, so even though he's staying in the house, you can't just be meeting women and inviting them over during this time. You could be infecting them with coronavirus once they infect you and you're spreading it around it's really time to maybe just be celibate for a second but once again he's a young man who i'm sure takes chances with his penis and has a lot of unprotected sex with randoms so he responded to that by posting that

on his instagram and uh he he this caption, some things in this world I would never understand. I get judged so much by lame ass mother effers that don't know me in real life and mother effers that just try hate on young negroes. This right here crazy. Swipe left to see a different response to the same statement

F at Breakfast Club AM old miserable bitches. First of all YBN Almighty J compared to you, you're 18, I'm 41, I'm old, I get it. I may even be a bitch, depending on the circumstances, and I'm fine with that. But miserable? Never. My life is amazing. My self-worth is more than my net worth, but my net worth isn't bad. What say you, Envy?

Mine is pretty good. I'm all right out here. What say you, Yee? It's decent, yeah. I'm happy. Okay, okay, okay. So nobody's miserable in the room? Nah. Everybody good?

All right, okay. All right, now the reason why being Almighty Jay is getting donkier today is because clearly he just wants attention. He's sitting in the house quarantined, and he's happy he got mentioned on The Breakfast Club. And listen, if you didn't like what we said, cool. Okay, you have every right to respond, but let's state the facts.

You posted a clip of the Breakfast Club talking to Boosie and you edited the clip to make it seem like we had nothing, that we had something to say about you being an antisocial distance, but didn't reply to Boosie. You said swipe left to see a different response to the same statement. Can we hear the clip

that YBN Almighty J posted on his Instagram? Speaking of strangers, how long you been with this woman? Because you got to be quarantining right now, so you should be social distancing. So you must know this woman. Yeah, but three times, not quarantining. I ain't worried about all that social distancing and all that shit. You know how it goes.

How long ago? We just seen a couple of, I guess, a couple of weeks ago, you was not mad at possibly hollering at Rihanna. Now, last time I checked this Boosie interview we did on Breakfast Club, it got like a million views. So clearly you are one of those people who watched the whole interview, or maybe you didn't watch the whole interview. I'm thinking you didn't watch the whole interview, but no,

I think you did watch the whole interview, but you decided to edit it to make yourself look good, even though you know we push back on Boosie being an anti-social dissonance. Let's hear it. Speaking of strangers, how long you been with this woman? Because you got to be quarantining right now, so you should be social distancing. So you must know this woman.

You're not quarantining. I ain't worried about all that social distancing and all that s*** quarantine. We threw a party ass everywhere. That's what I'm saying, Boosie. People are really... I wouldn't say quarantine. You don't believe in coronavirus, Boosie?

I think I had it all. But I don't give a f*** about no coronavirus. I kind of basically live on faith. People are dying though, Boosie. Yeah, but people are surviving too. I get what you're saying, but I kind of basically live on faith. People are dying though, Boosie. Yeah, but people are surviving too. I get what you're saying, but you know, they say faith without works is dead. So if they tell you that you can social distance and wear a mask to prevent from getting it, you can work towards not getting it.

I guess, but I ain't trying to let that stress me out as far as like it's doing to everybody else. Every day I'm trying to have fun, get money, and turn up. No, Boosie, coronavirus is killing people. We got to flatten this curve. All we need is a little social distancing for a couple of weeks. All right, Boosie, you got to stay healthy out there now, though. Man, we going to be all right, man. All y'all got to do is pray about it, man.

But I ain't messing with the corona, though, Boosie. I ain't messing with that. I'm just kidding. I'm not trying to up the chances. Yeah, and I worry about you, Boosie, because you got diabetes, and corona is really taking people out who have pre-existing health conditions, man. So you got to be cautious, bro. Yeah, that's what they say.

But I got to live. If it's time for me to die, it's time for me to die. Come on, Almighty J. You heard that as well. You knew that, young man. But you wanted to manipulate your followers. You really wanted to show your followers that The Breakfast Club is talking about you, so you had to

act fake mad and edit a Boosie interview to create a story. You are acting like the media you claim to be mad at. What you did is clickbait. This is Donald Trump's 6'9 level trolling. You are doing what a lot of people in your generation do, and that's clout chase. Look, you got 550

comments out of the deal. Congratulations, sir. Matter of fact, let's see if we can double that this morning. Let's have a petty party this morning. Let's go to YBN Almighty J's IG page. That's what it is. It's YBNALMIGHTYJAY, YBN Almighty J. Let's go to his page and leave the donkey emoji and some hand claps in his mentions because

he got the attention he's looking for, and we can celebrate that with a round of applause. Round of applause for your editing skills. Round of applause for the attention you received from doing this because I don't think we've talked about the young man on here before. I know YBN Corday has been here. YBN Corday is a fantastic

artist. I don't think we've ever talked about Jay, but Jay, in case you're upset with what I was saying by you still sleeping with randoms during a global pandemic, you probably are used to sleeping with women unprotected, so you're used to taking risks. But the moral of the story is, King, don't take risks with your health. Okay? You don't have to YOLO your life away.

You wouldn't play a game of Russian roulette, would you? So why play Russian roulette with your health by having random women come over to sleep with them? I would say it's your life, but in a case like this, it's not just your life because you're putting other people at risk too, because you get sick, don't show symptoms, run around wherever you live and possibly infect other people. And you, sir, are a rapper. Concerts are canceled until fall 2021. That means no show money. You know why? Because people like you don't want to follow the rules and social distance, okay?

We got to flatten the curve. So not only are you going to be possibly sick, you might be potentially broke. That money going to get low, okay? So excuse me for looking out for you, almighty J, okay? By telling you that you need

to social distance. But once again, anti-social distances are the same type of people who wouldn't have gotten on the arc when Noah told them to. So look, we can tell you all day to social distance, but if you don't want to, let them drown. Please give the young man almighty J the biggest. See y'all. All right. That's right. And make sure, make sure you go to ybn almighty jay's

instagram page ybn a l m i g h t y j a y let's have a little petty party uh give him a round of applause and also put the donkey emoji in his comments and maybe tell a young man why he should you know be social distancing he's 18 he just needs to learn. That's all. God bless him. And you know how I know he probably was having unprotected sex and taking risks? That's what I was doing at 18. Oh my goodness.

That's how I know. Donkey of the day or not, everybody, please just be safe. You never know what's going to happen. We've seen a lot of people who did not think they could potentially catch it, didn't take it seriously, end up getting sick or infect somebody else. Please take it seriously. That's all we're saying.

That's right. We say that to anybody who's not following the rules. All right. Absolutely. Thank you for that donkey today. I didn't say it to anybody because you said it about some of your Cowboys players, including Dak Prescott. That's right. I did give it to Donkey today for Dak.

I can see. All right. Well, thank you for that, Donkey, today, you old, miserable bitch, you. I'm not miserable. That's all of us. Old bitch. An old bitch I may be. I may be an old bitch, but I'm not miserable.

All right. We got more coming up next with The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Come on, Mom. All right, we got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Come on, Mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice.

Call up now for Ask Yee. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this? Hi. I want to stay anonymous. All right, Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yi. Hello. Who's this?

Hi. I want to stay anonymous. All right, anonymous. What's your question for Yi? Okay. So me and my husband have been married almost two years now. Before I started dating him, I was dating a lot of women. So I'm not really, like, experienced with, like, the oral stuff for men. So I tried, and he didn't like it.

So we haven't had oral sex in a while, but I feel confident in my ability to perform where he can be pleased, but he won't take me seriously because it's been so long since he's had it. Okay, so you know what you're doing now. You feel confident. Well, I don't, I wouldn't know. I don't even know if I, I feel confident, but I don't know if it's going to be right until, you know,

I actually try, but he won't let me try because. He doesn't want to be a Guinea pig and end up with some abrasions on his penis. Yeah. So I'm trying to figure out how to set it up to where he can be comfortable enough to allow me to see okay what progression I've made and then go from there okay so look this is what I think right before you guys get to it when you're doing your foreplay you should ask him can I just kiss it I'm not going to do anything more than that and then you should kiss it and then you

should tongue kiss it and then you should tongue kiss it. And then you should just do a little bit more, a little bit more until, you know, he's feeling good about it. And then, you know, that's when you go a little bit more. But just make sure that you keep your mouth very lubricated. Don't use your teeth. Tuck them away. Okay. But I think you just kind of, I think you.

Now I'm starting to feel less confident. Why does it sound like you're talking about Envy bike riding? What? No, we're definitely not talking about that But I just, listen, just start it off So just say, look, I'm just going to kiss it I'm not going to do anything else And then when you kiss it, right? Kissing could mean anything

It could be closed mouth, open mouth And then, you know, just play around with that area And then if he likes it, he'll be okay with you going a little further. How will I know if he likes it, though? Ask him. Because as a man, he may just accept it just because the love of me as his wife, but he may not want to actually tell me that he's enjoying what's happening. So I'm trying to figure out what signs I should look for.

Well, first of all, there's nothing better than asking a direct question. And you can ask it like, okay, do you like that? Well, tell me what you want me to do and I'm going to do it. And be like, how would you like it better? Well, you know, just ask those questions, but you can do it in a sexy way so that he's going to direct you to the way to do it and just be like, look, tell me what to do. Uh-huh.

Okay, well, I will try that, and I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you. I cannot wait to hear about it. All right, you guys have a good morning. You too. And that was another edition of the service. She had a real question. All right.

It really did sound like you was talking about DJ Envy riding his bike, though. I'm not going to lie. Why? Because that's what he was visualizing. I had to think about it. I was like, what is she talking about? I'm a married man. You got these fantasies about me, and I don't like it.

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. You're a liar! What's wrong with you? Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Alanya, you want to go to Yee? Yes, line four. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Portia. I'm calling from Charleston, South Carolina. Hey, Portia. 843.

What's your question for Yee? Okay, so I have a question. Basically, I've been dealing with some sexual harassment at my job with my supervisor. So I took the appropriate steps, went to HR, even talked to a lawyer about the situation, but it seems like they're not trying to let this manager go. So I was like, what's the next step?

What should I do from this point on? Should I just find another job? Should I keep pushing the issue? Because I feel like, what's the next step? What should I do from this point on? Should I just find another job? Should I keep pushing the issue? Because I feel like he's retaliating. You feel like he's retaliating, you said? Yes. Like, give me some examples. Basically, like, he tried to put me on third shift without telling me, which was one thing.

Another thing, he nitpicks at little things that he claimed I'm doing wrong because I'm an industrial technician, so I work through maintenance department. Being that I'm one of the girls with a bunch of guys, he just kind of nitpicks at me for little things that I feel like it's

not even serious to nitpick over because he never did before until I went to HR about him. Here's a couple of things. not even serious to nitpick over because he never did before until I went to HR about him. Okay. So here's a couple of things. First of all, you said that you've complained, right? Yes. I went to HR twice.

And so their response is what? We're going to work on it. We're going to work on him. We're going to try to figure out how we're going to make you comfortable by being here because we know you're not. But that's pretty much it. And they're dragging their feet about letting them go or, you know, what are they going to do with the supervisor? I had proof that he did that.

The text message and everything. So you have all of this in writing and you've emailed them and they've responded via email. I highly recommend you get yourself a lawyer. That's when they take things seriously. Okay. And you should not ever have to work under those circumstances.

You should feel safe and protected at work. If you go to HR with a complaint and evidence that somebody is doing this to you and making you feel this way at work, and you're uncomfortable and you're feeling belittled, then you need to make sure that you take those matters into your own hand because you have the power to do that. Okay. Well, I'll probably just go back to the attorney I was talking to. She told me that the only way she can take my case is if the job was to fire me or there was no changes moving forward.

So because there are no changes, I'm just going to go back to her. Yeah, absolutely. And it sounds like you have a legitimate case. You have these text messages. Plus, I think you have to keep a record of what's been happening at work since you've been complaining to hr and all the things that he's been every detail that you can get and anything that you can get in writing as evidence you should try to get okay and make sure you send those emails make sure you show what their responses are present all of those to a lawyer you definitely have a case and i think this is great because you don't want this to happen to

somebody else so it's great that you spoke up. You've done what you're supposed to do on your part. They haven't done what they're supposed to do on their behalf, so now it's time to move it to the next level. Hey, look here, you ain't got none of your cousins that can come box them anymore? I mean, I do got cousins who want to come box them up now,

but listen, it's like, this is a white man, so I don't want white people to get locked up for that. Man, I ain't care if you're a white man. Now, that man ain't got no business trying to feel on your bunkie at work now. Yeah, he be trying to talk about, you want to touch my tattoo and all kind of stuff. Kauai! He want to touch the tattoo.

Well, you damn right, you are not getting none of your families locked up over this. Well, I need your cousin to come punch our co-worker in the mouth, too. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Because. Hey, relax. Stay out of Geechee full conversation. Give me us. Hey, hey.

Stay out of Geechee full conversation now. Stay out of Geechee full conversation now. Y'all are not going to make a joke out of her sexual harassment at work. I'm not making no joke. I'm talking to her in our native language. Just Geechee, Charleston, Gullah, 843 all day. What? 843.

I'm with you, girl. I know it has to be tough for you to go to work every day under those circumstances and not feel like anybody cares. I'm so uncomfortable every day. And it's like I left work today just to get away. It took a sick day just to not be there with them. Yeah, that's a terrible feeling. So you have to nip this in the bud and let them know you ain't going to keep this going.

I have the power over you, and I'm going to make you all look crazy. Exactly. And thank you, Charlamagne. I love you, going. I have the power over you, and I'm going to make y'all look crazy. Exactly. And thank you, Charlamagne. I love you, though. I love you more. Keep some of these shots out. I'm serious, though. You got your cousins.

I need to punch the malt. Thank you so much. Yeah, I was thinking about it. Give me a little sneak of something. Give him a little sneak. Sneak him. Give him a little sneak. Ask Yee.

800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Yee will help you out. Now keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's that time again. Ask Charlamagne and DJ Envy anything.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. It's time to ask C&E. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now it's time for Ask C&E. Angela Yee is out, so Charlamagne and I will be holding it down. So let's go to the callers.

Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's up, bro? What's your question for C&E? Order me something, man. Hey. Order me something, man. Give me something.

Hey, Charlamagne. Yeah. Listen, I got a question for you real quick. Like, look, I've been married for like 17, 18 years, right? I'm disabled, military. I got 100% disability. I originally called to say something about my wife. But if there's any way, look, I need your help.

I needed your help like a year ago. Because one of my disabilities is like PTSD and all that stuff. And I almost killed myself. I got two kids, right? And the reason why I'm calling you is because you always speak about mental health, right? Yes, sir. And I'm Dominican. I'm Dominican, right?

So we don't believe in that stuff. Just like black people. You know what I mean? I consider myself black. Not that I consider myself black. That's not what I'm saying. I get what you're saying. You know what I mean? I consider myself black. Not that I consider myself black. That's not what I'm saying. I get what you're saying. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Okay, cool. I want you to take my number because I'm going to need you. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm getting help right now with my mental health. Okay.

You know what I'm saying? And I'm getting better. But what I'm saying is I tried to call this radio station before because I feel like you know how sometimes guys tells you, like, do something, and you either listen to it or you don't. You know what I'm saying?

So I was calling you back then when I was in my darkest place because I feel that you had the answer to help me out. Well, I tell you what, I don't have all the answers. You know what I'm saying? I'm still going on my journey just like you're going on your journey. But I do have a lot of resources and a lot of people that you can talk to. People that, you know, have

helped me get through. And I have no problem sharing those resources with you, my Dominican brother. Okay? Hold on one second. We're not going to hang up. We're going to get your information. I got a real question for the brother though. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Ask me the question. You're Dominican, right?

Yes, sir. How many pair of white jeans do you own or have you owned throughout your life? Seriously. Hold on. Like, seriously, probably like once or twice

because there was a white party and I needed to buy everything white. Okay. Okay. All Dominicans don't have white jeans, Charlamagne. Hold on, man.

I didn't say that. You asked that man about his white jeans, man. I'm about to get your number. Leave your number with the producer. I'm going to hit you in the show over in like an hour, all right? Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this?

Yo, this is Magic. Magic, what's up? What's your question for T&E? Yo, man, I got some questions, man. I got a little relationship problem I got going on right now. Been with my girl for a year. She got three kids, and she's pregnant now with the fourth one by me. This is my first one. But, like, it ain't easy for a man.

Oh, she got three from another man. Give me hell. No, she got three different baby daddies. Well, she has four now, four baby daddies now. But go ahead. Okay. Yeah, and it's been rough for me, man. Like, I go through hell. I do everything she has me to do. Basically, I've been a do-boy for. And it's been rough for me, man. Like, I go through hell.

I do everything she has me to do. Basically, I've been a do-boy for her since she's been pregnant. And she calling me selfish just because, like, I complain or something like that for getting up in the middle of the night doing something for her. Like, I'm doing it, so shut up. She don't respect you, bro. It's kind of hard to respect the fourth baby daddy. You know what I'm saying? I'm scared for my life, though, for real, man.

Why are you scared for your life? Did she put hands on you? Yeah, she has. She has, yeah. Yeah. Oh. This is easy for me to say, bro. No, I'm saying this is a one-time incident, but that's what she used to.

No. She's done that in her past. Toxic woman. I'm not that guy. I'm not your ex-baby daddy or nothing like that. You want to come home, get drunk, and put my hands on yourself like that. I communicate. Just talk to me.

Whatever the problem is, we'll try to solve it instead of just arguing back and forth. But like I said, she ain't got that in her. And now she's pregnant, And now she's talking about She don't want to be with me no more And that's not what I want in my life My first child, I want to be all family Not just bed, life, and everything Oh man, I feel bad for you, bro

You're in a abusive relationship With somebody that's toxic Oh man Are you taking care of the other three kids too? I'm 31, having my first child And it ain't how I want it to be Are you taking care of the other kids too? It's really driving me crazy

Boy if you don't listen to me Are you taking care of the other three kids? Barely Are you taking care of them so you are? No I'm saying like I do what she asks me to do For them or what not Listen If the roles were reversed

And you was dating a toxic man With four different baby mamas Who put hands on you What would your girls be telling you to do? Leave People been telling me to leave But I just didn't listen I don't know why

I really don't know why Listen to your goddamn girlfriends Your girlfriends are telling you to leave right now You said you fear for your life She puts hands on you She makes you do everything You sound like you do everything And and you're about to lose it. So you better leave her alone before she hits you with a frying pan.

Me and Envy are your girlfriends. I'm Tony Childs. Envy is Joan Clayton. We telling you to leave, Maya. Okay? Actually, you would be Lynn in this situation. Like, is this something Lynn would get herself into? All right?

She got three kids already from three different baby daddies. She got one on the way from you. Be a father to your child, but this sounds like a very toxic human that you're dealing with, and she needs to get some healing. And when she gets some healing and becomes the woman that you need her to be, then you can be with her.

I told her she was talking about getting married and stuff before the baby get here. I told her, if you want to do that, we're going to have to go to counseling. She told me she don't need that. Really? It's stressful, man. It's really putting a toll on me, for real. You know what toxic people do? They never let things go. They can't

move forward. They bully. They intimidate. They lie. They create drama. They play the victim, and they act out of fear and insecurity. That's all that person is doing to you right now. You got to go, bro. Be a father to your child that's a very toxic woman she sounds like the future of females repeat after me i am strong i am strong i will not let her hit me anymore i will not let her hit me anymore what

i will not let her hit me anymore that's right i. I am strong. I am a good man, and I am a good father. I am strong. I am a good man, and I will be a good father. There you go, brother. Where you got that written down at, Envy? Is that your daily affirmation? I'm trying to give him the self-esteem to make him feel good this morning, man. Brother, you go out there, you have a great day, and you take care of business.

All right, brother? Eliminate all toxic people from your life, man. Why do we always give people more chances than they deserve? Why do we do that? Trying to give that man a little self-esteem. All right, we? Eliminate all toxic people from your life, man. Why do we always give people more chances than they deserve? Why do we do that? All right, we got more coming up next with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Call me. Add your opinions 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. Good morning. Good morning. What's happening? Happy holidays. What are we talking about today? Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Mel B.

Now, she does something I think is pretty odd. You want to explain what she does, Yee, or what she did? Yes, she actually got a tattoo removed of her ex. You know, she's getting divorced, and she got, instead of laser removal for that tattoo, she got it cut out of her body, and she keeps the skin in a jar. That's weird. That is called root. That is voodoo, black magic, all right?

You cut the name off your skin, put it in a jar, have a little witch doctor or something put a little whammy on it. Don't nobody touch that jar, because if you do, the spell will be broken, and as long as that name is in that jaw, Stephen Belafonte will have erectile dysfunction for the rest of his life, or at the least cough up a frog or two. Everything from the past goes in the garbage. Nothing from the past.

No letters, no pictures, nothing. Everything thrown away. Do you keep it, Dinky? Yeah, I actually have a lot of things from exes. I actually have all my letters and cards and notes that I used to pass in class and all of that in a huge box. Well, I mean, listen, how long you been with your woman, Envy? 24 years, married 17. I've been with my woman 20 years, married 4.

Okay? I'm 40. There's no exes. All right? I don't even remember what an ex is. An ex? I don't have nothing from my exes. Most of the stuff I have is really from high school because nobody really wrote letters after that. That's what I ex is. An ex? I don't have nothing from my exes. is really from high school because nobody really wrote letters after that.

That's what I'm saying. So if your woman is still saving letters from high school, that letter really means a lot to her and that person meant a lot to her

and that person that wrote that letter, you know, could never be duplicated. You know what I'm saying? I also grew up as a writer like when I was young and I read a lot

and so I keep all of those things even from like my friends who are women. Yeah, but you're not married, G. Imagine being married for 17 years. All right. And you've been with this guy that you married to since y'all was kids. But you keep a letter from the exes. That means you keep a letter from when you was like 17, 18. Like those first feelings of love.

There's no love. Those first feelings of love have not been duplicated at all. Feelings alike. No man has ever made you feel the way that that first person made you feel. And I broke my wife's virginity, so I don't know what you're talking about. We did not need to know all that. What about that magic finger? Wasn't we talking about magic fingers earlier?

Nope, nope, no magic fingers. But I burnt those letters up initially. What letters? What are you talking about with people who just joined us? I'm not talking What letters? What are you talking about? I'm not talking about nothing. What are you talking about? I ain't talking about nothing. You sound insecure. Natasha.

Hi. Good morning, Natasha. Good morning. You keep anything from your ex? I definitely do not. The only thing I kept from my ex is our son. Oh, I'm glad you kept that. I wouldn't let that go.

But it was so deep that I had to get rid of the cell phone that I used to text him from because I would search and I'd type in bae and then he'd pop up. Even though he was deleted, he'd still like, oh, I text him and he'll pop up. I was like, ah, we got to get rid of this. All right. I feel you. All right, manager. Thank you, mama.

Naja. What's up, baby? What's up, mama? Did she call you lady? I don't know what she called me. She said baby. Oh. What's up?

Now, do you throw everything away from your past relationships? I'm throwing everything away. Like, I'm not keeping nothing. What do I need memories of an ex for? Like, I'm throwing everything away. Like, I used to live, me and my wife used to live together. And, like, she would come over and still say, oh, you got my shirt. You know, I'm just trying to find ways to come back.

And I'm just like, baby, I threw everything away. You know, you ain't got to come back for nothing else. What if she gave you a Rolex? Oh, that's different now. That's my Rolex. Oh, okay. It is all about the cost of the gift. You ain't giving back no Bentley. You ain't giving back no type of car. And you ain't giving back no jewelry.

At all. No money, no none of that. So how y'all going to be picky and choosy about what to keep and what to give away? Well, some things that an ex gives you, you ain't got no choice but to keep, like herpes. Salute to everybody out there. He always go too far. Salute to everybody out there who ex gave them herpes.

And they ain't got no choice but to live with that and keep that for the rest of their life. Hello, who's this? It's Rakim from Duval. Rakim, do you keep anything from your ex? No, bro. No need to. I've been married for four years. Been with my girl for seven. And there's no need to, bro. You got to hold on for something from? No, bro. No need to. I've been married for four years, been with my girl for seven,

and there's no need to, bro. You got to hold on for something from the past, bro. You might as well try to head back in that direction. Yeah, that's how I feel. I don't understand why, you know, somebody would hold on

to something from their past, especially if they've been together for so long. Like, imagine being with somebody for 17 years. They were 10 years old and 12 years old. What is that they were 10?

Somebody rolled my wife from that house. Why is this hitting so close to home? I'm just telling you. What is that they were 10? Somebody wrote my wife a letter. Why is this hitting so close to home? I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you. You're going to point a finger, point a finger, point a magic finger at me. I'm just saying.

Somebody was writing letters to my wife when they were 10 years old. She kept it as memories as, oh, that's so cute. And I burnt them. I don't like it. Whatever is in the past, stay in the past.

And you shouldn't. Y'all been married for 40 years. How long y'all been married, seriously? 17 years. Y'all been together 24. 24 years. There's no reason for her to be keeping stuff 17 years. Y'all been together 24. 24 years. There's no reason for her to be keeping stuff in her exes. And that's what I said, and that's why I burned them letters up.

It's so crazy because I do have a, like I said, I have a huge box filled with, like, letters from my friends when they went away, out of town, from exes, like, everything together in a box. I haven't even separated it, but I kept it all. Yeah, but you got recent exes, G. You used to steal live chat. No, this is all from, like, high school and college. Ain't nobody about to know Rolex in high school.

No, I'm talking about a box of letters. Oh. But my whole thing is what I'm saying is that it doesn't really, I never thought of it like it's something

that would be offensive to anybody. But I used to be a little insecure. Because nobody writes letters now. I even found a watch that somebody gave my wife

when I think they were like 12, 13. I definitely ran over that watch with my car. Oh my gosh. Why she still got all these little trinkets? All these little 12 days

of Christmas where you buying her all this stuff and she's still keeping watches from middle school? They were 10 years old so man, they're just little

cutie cuties. I think that's cute. But they're all gone now. It's not a big deal. Tell her to grow up. They are gone now. And that watch, I ran over it 10 times.

Little memories are so cute. Rebecca. Hey. Come on in, Rebecca. Okay, yeah. So I have like an Xbox. I like, not like the video games. Yeah, I was like, okay, me too.

Yeah. So I dated this guy from like eighth grade to senior year of high school. And I kept literally everything. But the weird thing that I kept was he gave me a lemon. A lemon? A lemon. For an eighth grade. Yeah, I swear to God, he gave me a lemon. A lemon? It is great. He gave me a lemon

and I still have it in the box. It's not like rotten or anything. That's a goddamn lie. That's a damn lie. No, it doesn't smell or anything. It's like hollow and hard and I don't know why. Like him and his heart. Why are you keeping that?

That's disgusting. I don't know. It was like the reason why we started talking in the first place. Why? Y'all bonded over lemons? He like convinced me that it was like this really rare like lemon from like Cuba or something

like that. I like, I don't even know. Sounds like a red flag to me. He lied to you immediately. Yeah, that came from Stop the Shop, Mama. Well, if you fell in love with a man that gave you a lemon, wait until somebody gives you an apple or a watermelon. You're going to really be head over heels. I'm older now. I'm not going to do that.

Don't curse. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is, man, let's say a prayer and salute everybody out there who is keeping things from their exes that they can't give back like herpes. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
