So definitely check it out if you get a chance to go check out that play. I was in Key West for a day this weekend, man. What was you doing in Key West? Minding my business, but I had no idea Key West was so beautiful.

Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful. That's like a secret. The little strip down in Key West. Yeah. It's a little secret. It's only like two miles long. That's usually where the rich white people go.

We've been to Key West before? Key West? Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, very beautiful. Salute to Key West, man. I had a ball in Key West. Salute to the guy who paid for my food.

I was sitting outside, me and my wife. And he came, you know, he said, what's up? Took a picture. And then, you know, it's one of those things when the bill, they'd be like, oh, your bill was taken care of. Oh, that's dope. Oh, man. Shout out to the dude that took care of the food.

Absolutely. You wish you'd have known a little earlier. You'd have had to laugh. I'm not that type of person. What's his name? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You don't know his name? Definitely don't know his name.

I'll get it in a minute. I thought thought i could remember it but i didn't like he's talking about me he's talking about me no i'm gonna get it all right well let's get the uh show cracking front page news next we got to talk about kairi irvin he will no longer be a brooklyn net which seems crazy but we'll talk about it when we come back that seems crazy that seems very on brand for kairi because kevinant wanted to leave at one time, and they said, no, don't leave, stay, and he decided to stay. Well, Kyrie asked for a trade last year, too. Damn it, man.

We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host joining us, Ray J. Yeah.

All right, and let's get in some front page news. Now, Kyrie Irving has been traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Dallas Mavericks. He said he requested a trade, and they traded him. What's your thoughts? This is very on brand for Kyrie Irving. Like, this is what he does. He's done this for every other franchise he's played for. And he's an exceptional talent, but he may not be the best teammate.

That's all. Simple as that. So people take it personal when you go to another team. Absolutely. They shouldn't. Not with Kyrie Irving. Teammates do. I'm sure teammates do. They shouldn't when it comes to Kyrie Irving.

I mean, that's what he does. He's done this every way. He did it in Cleveland. He did it in Boston. He's doing it in Brooklyn. That was supposed to be a big team, though. Think about it. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden,

they were supposed to win a chip. That's what everybody... So I want y'all to think about that, right? If he couldn't win a chip with Kevin Durant and then Kevin Durant and James Harden,

you think he was going to go to Dallas and win one with Luka? He won with LeBron though. That's LeBron. LeBron is the actual leader. Okay? There's always a chance,

you know what I'm saying, for somebody on that level. You know, it's always one of those weird combinations that work, and then it just go all the way up. Not in Dallas. Dallas offense is going to be good, you know, with Luka and Kyrie, and they got a lot of shooters. I think their defense is ranked, like, what, number 23?

Yes. In the whole league right now? It's not like Kyrie is a defensive wizard. Yeah, but it might give them that energy to go bigger. I doubt it. But it'll be interesting to watch. Now, speaking of LeBron, he's 36 points away from breaking an NBA all-time scoring record. So they believe he'll do it against the Bucs, which is kind of crazy.

Because the person that has the record used to play for the Bucs. Oh, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Kareem used to play for the Bucs, yeah. Okay. So we'll see what happens with that. Did y'all watch the Pro Bowl Bucs, yeah. Okay. So we'll see what happens with that. Did y'all watch the Pro Bowl by any chance? No.

Okay, well, Eli Manning and his team, they won the AFC one by, if y'all watched it. I really didn't watch it. It was flag football, just something I wasn't necessarily wanting to watch. I saw somebody accidentally tackle somebody yesterday, though. Did they? Yes. Jesus.

I think it was Jalen Ramsey, right? Yeah. I don't know. I didn't watch it. Now, also, $747 million. Do you need that right now? That's the Powerball jackpot. Do you play Powerball?

I played it the other day because it was up there, and they said it was $2 instead of $1. Well, it's been $2 for a while. It was $1, and then it went up to $2 a couple years ago. Yeah, because I used to play the Super Lotto in L.A. That's a buck. But, you know, $2. How many tickets you bought? Just a dub. $2, yeah. A couple years ago. Yeah, because I used to play the Super Lotto in L.A. That's a buck. But, you know, $2. How many tickets you bought? Just a dub.

So, 10 tickets. Okay. So, you thought it was going to be $10. I just felt like if I'm a win, I'm a win with 20 or I'm a win with 200. That's how I feel, right? You know, if I'm a winner that day and I manifested that much, that kind of power. That's right. Then it's going to go with the dub.

I'm with you. I've been playing every week since the Powerball came out. Powerball and Mega Millions. I feel the same way. I only buy five Mega Millions, five Powerball. That's it. That's it. That's all you need.

I did $20 worth. Yeah, I did $40. I did $20 on the Powerball, $20 on Super Lotto. Obviously, I didn't win because the ticket didn't. Because you had it. But see, you still got to go check that ticket. I didn't check the ticket. I don't check them until the store dude say somebody won here

then you go check no you gotta check cause I be winning $4 all the time and I be appreciative of that $4 and I reinvest right back into the lottery

with that $4 every time that's what's up now lastly an 82 year old woman out in Long Island she was pronounced dead at a nursing home they came

they bagged her up and they were driving her to the morgue, and she started moving. She wasn't dead. So she actually kind of just opened up the zipper, and she was alive. So somebody made...

She opened the zipper? Yes. So I'm trying to... I thought the zipper was on the outside. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I guess she opened it from the inside as well. Yeah, she tore it open. What kind of deep sleep was that?

I don't know. I need that. I was just going to say. I need that. So instead of going to say. I need that. So instead of going to the morgue, they made a left and went to the hospital instead to check her out

and make sure she was okay. She must have been on that anesthesia that they give us when we got our colonoscopy. Yes, I don't know. You got a colonoscopy yet, Ray? I haven't.

How old are you? You got to go get it. You're 41, right? Yeah, two now. 42? You got a few more years. Nah, well, he should. Wait, but that's, wait, that's in my, can I say that word?

Your ass. Your boogie? What? Oh, yeah, you can say that word. You can say boogie. You can say your ass, yeah. Oh, so it's in there. It ain't in the front.

No, it's in your boogie. They're going to put you under anesthesia. What test is in the front? They're going to lay you on your side. I don't know. If they do some test when you get older. That's because you was a wild boy, so you probably had FTDs. No, I heard you get a test later on when you get older.

You get one in your ass, and then you get one in the front. I don't know about the front. All right, cool. I feel better. I wasn't looking forward to that. What do you identify as? Usually gynecologists do things in the front row. Nah, I'm a Raylian.

A Raylian? A Raylian. I'm a Raylian. And that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up. Let us know how your weekend was. And Ray J is here. He's our guest host. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Yeah, they gotta put me to sleep. Wake that ass up. Now, I ain't about to go crazy, but this Ray J, and I've officially joined The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Lindsey, what up?

Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell you what it is. Are we live? Hello, who's this?

Good morning, it's Ladea. Ladea, good morning. Good morning. Say what's up to Ray J. Oh, good morning, Ray J. Hey, hey, hey, hey, good morning. What's up? Get it off your chest, mama. Okay, I've been trying to call

for the longest since y'all keep talking about the colonoscopy. Yes, ma'am. Okay, so you told Ray J that he got a little while to wait, but really he don't. Like, my sister died in 2020

and she was only 41. So I need to get my ass checked now? Yeah, but see, the problem... And I have a co-worker that's in the hospice right now that she's in her early 40s. Well, see, the problem is when you go for your screening,

if everything's good, they'll tell you to come back when they're 45. Like, I had to call my doctor back and say, well, I have a history of it in my family. That's why they let me get it early. Like, 44 i won't be 45 to this year but they let me get it over the holidays so he had a history in his family you know what i mean and the reason

they do that is because usually insurance won't cover it until you're 45 so sometimes people got to come out their pocket oh okay okay okay but i just feel like everybody should go earlier i agree with you i agree with you i'm not with you. I'm not opposing that. Do they do home visits? Can I get mine done at my house? I don't know if you want that, right? Yeah, I don't know if you want that at your house. I think you should want it in the clinical setting.

Yes. You know what I mean? Because they do got to put you to sleep. You don't want to be up for that. You know what I'm saying? But do they have mobile colonoscopy? They got mobile screening. I know Robert Smith has mobile screening. They might go. But I don't know about the actual colonoscopy. Yeah, because I got mobile screening. I know Robert Smith has mobile screening.

They might go. But I don't know about the actual colonoscopy. Yeah, because I'd rather them just come to the house. Because you know they give you the same thing that they would give

a Michael Jackson. Will Michael Jackson go to sleep? Yeah, the little white stuff. Yeah, that when you go in, you just like, you just fade away. I don't know if it's white.

It's like in the IV. Yeah, it's white in the IV. I've seen it. Yeah, you go in and then you just like fade away. It's amazing. Whatever it is. It's something else. It's something else. I've seen it. Yeah, go in, and then you just, like, fade away. It's amazing. Whatever it is.

It's something else. It's something else. I don't, you know, want to say how good I like it. I love it. But it was something. It was definitely a euphoric feeling. Hello, who's this? Mm.

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.

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. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly

podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus

nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello?

You raised a whole generation of women. I mean, perfect, though. Just perfection. Beyonce did break the record for most Grammy wins in history last night.

oh that's the one that uh yeah Chris Brown was mad at right the gentleman oh Robert Glass one yes that was dope yeah Robert Glass was dope yeah he's dope he's dope I think that we got to stop thinking just because we don't know about something it's not popping right yeah I think the Grammys even the Oscars sometimes the the winners are the most you it was the most unique film it had the most like depth to it or the most meaning to it challenging in different like you know levels of sound or of art yeah we think popularity equates to uh being being able to take home the award yeah shout out to chris though but yeah, you know, congratulations.

Awards was dope. We'll talk about Hip Hop 50 next hour, but I mean, Bad Bunny killed it, Lizzo killed it. Trying to think who else performed last night.

Of course, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Khaled. Glorilla performed, right? For two seconds.

Yeah, she came out with Hip Hop 50 for a medley. That was dope though. I like Glorilla, she dope. But they did the guy did, and that was eight minutes, like 53 seconds that they performed. I just like the fact that we had OG Juan on one side and Emory Jones on the other side.

Oh, he was bouncing around. Yeah, absolutely. Jay-Z performed? Yes, he did. Jay-Z performed last night. I wouldn't even hear you. Like, I got ADD. He closed out the show.

Yeah, I got ADD. Hose closed out the show, yeah. It was at the end. It was at the end. That was big, man. I got my watcher tonight. I think we... He shouted you out.

He did. You missed J. Shot and I ran. That's crazy, yo. You got to stop paying attention, Ray. That is your rumor report. When we come back,

we got front page news. Like I said, we'll dive into Hip Hop 50 next hour, but we got to talk about that Chinese balloon. That's like saying somebody win the lotto and they really didn't. You know what I'm saying?

With the Jay-Z shout out. That's wrong. He did shout you out. That's like saying you made a lot of money and then psych. FrontPage News is next. And, of course, our guest host, Ray J, is here. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey. Can they shut you down? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Ray J. He's here. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey. And they shut you down? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Ray J. He's here. And let's get into some front page news.

Now, fast, if you don't know, of course, Kyrie Irving has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks. I don't know what that means for you. I don't know if that makes the Dallas Mavericks better or if it makes the Brooklyn Nets better. I'm not sure. I don't know. I think the Nets got deeper. Does it make the Mavericks better or if it makes the Brooklyn Nets better? I'm not sure. I don't know. I think the Nets got deeper. Does it make the Mavericks better? I mean, they'll have an explosive offense with Luka and Kyrie,

and they got a lot of shooters. But they rank number 23, I think, in defense in the league. And Kyrie's definitely not going to make them better defensively. So, you know. Is my headphones not working on the right side for a reason? Because are we supposed to be like that? No. We're supposed to be working.

I need some Raycon headphones. I can't believe you ain't got none. i didn't first off i just came today professional you can only hear one ear yeah you sure it ain't plug it in all the way push it over here make sure it ain't you ray i'm sticking it in all right whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa jesus whoa You're a wild boy. God. We just got here, Ray. You're a wild boy, man. The Powerball jackpot, if you don't know, is $747 million. So make sure you play the Powerball today. Today is the drawing, and it's the ninth largest in U.S. history.

And lastly, I know you guys have been seeing this televised in the last couple of days, this Chinese balloon. All right, now. Spy balloon. Chinese spy balloon.'s chinese spy balloon word spy out it's chai excuse me chinese spy balloon now they say it was a civilian balloon but this balloon came over uh montana went from montana they said they didn't want to shoot it down over montana and it was traveling and as soon as they got to south carolina they shot it down and they must not care about the people in south carolina no that's not what happened they wait till it got over the ocean i know i know they didn't want to shoot it

in Montana because the debris might have hurt people on the ground. So they shot it over the ocean. But my whole point is, Jesus, as it came over my state. No, I know. But anyway, my point is, as soon as it got over to U.S. territory,

or got close to U.S. territory, why wasn't this thing shot down? They should have shot it down immediately. It depends where it was because they were worried about people on the ground. It was over the water at first because you got to come over water to get to the States. I don't know. China's not connected to the United States. What was the balloon doing?

Spying. Doing what? On what, though? China says it wasn't spying, but U.S. intel says it was spying. It's like they could just have had a drone. You know what I'm saying? What were they actually spying on? We don't know. They shot drone and you know what i'm saying like what were they actually we don't know they shot it down to try to get more information on it they're going to

dissect the information they see exactly what it was doing what information it was sending back but this same balloon right now a similar one is over latin america and we have a ex-lieutenant that's actually talking about it here boy on a scale of one to ten on national security issues i'll politely for Fareed, give it about a two. This says a lot more about the inability of Washington and Congress and the White House to talk about relatively insignificant national security issues than it does about intelligence. Look, if the Chinese want to collect photos of America, you can get to Google Earth, you can get a Chinese secret satellite. If they want to intercept communications,

they can do it with satellites. I would agree that there are certain advantages a balloon would have. But Farid, we twisted ourselves around a balloon for days in Washington, D.C., and the Secretary of State canceled the trip for a balloon. Give me a break. This is a two on a scale of one to ten. You know, here's what I don't understand. Chinese spy balloon, they say into america three times uh during the trump administration and once before during the biden administration so i'm saying all that to say this has happened before right why now is this a story because we never even heard about the other four times did it correct and if the chinese wanted to really spy on us they already got tiktok there can't be a bigger spy mechanism than tiktok it's this big balloon like it's like i think it was a decoy.

Yeah, but anything that goes over U.S. territory should have been shot down. We don't know what that was, what they were doing. They should have shot that down immediately, in my opinion, but I'm not with the government. But China says they reserve the right to use necessary means to deal with similar situations. I don't know if that's a threat. I don't know if China wants smoke now, but we don't know. But we'll get more details as they dissect what was actually in that balloon. When they shot it down, what did they shoot it down

with? Missile. Fighter jet. Fighter jet, yeah. Shot it right down. It needed that much? It looked like you could have just hit it with a you know what I'm saying? There was three buses. But it was a balloon, like a shotgun shell that shoots far. I thought the same thing. I thought a missile was a little too much

to shoot down a balloon. It just felt like it was... Remember when you said that I ain't gonna lie. I thought the same thing. I thought a missile was a little too much to shoot down a balloon. It just felt... You know what? Remember when you said that you wasn't a part of the government? Yes. You should stick to that.

It felt stagey. But it's a balloon. It felt stagey to me. First of all, I think they're saying balloon. I don't know if it was an actual balloon. I think we're thinking

like the kind we blow up and have at birthday parties. I don't think it was. It looked like a hot air balloon. Yeah, it looked like a hot air balloon. It looked like a drone hot air balloon with a drone version. We've seen the pictures. Like the Goodyear balloon. It looked like a drone hot air balloon

with a drone version. We've seen the pictures. Listen, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I an expert in this type of stuff. Correct. So I would assume

that if they needed a missile, they needed a missile. I'm just saying. It kind of looked like, it just kind of was like. Overkill. I think it was. You know what's overkill?

The fact that you got three Starbucks coffees right now. Well, no, I got the mango medicine ball. Ray J ordered three Starbucks, right? Yes. Three Starbucks. Three. Talk about he need one for every hour because he's going to be here, no, I got the mango medicine bar. Let me tell you what Ray J did. Ray J ordered three Starbucks, right? Three Starbucks. Talk about he need one for every hour because he's going to be here

until 9 o'clock. So medicine bar, pink drink, and then a white hot chocolate. And he drinking Patron. Just a tad bit of that, though. All we got is public restrooms. I'm just letting you know. Oh, for real?

All we got is public restrooms. You know what I was just asking? I'm like, we upgraded now, right? Correct. And I say we because I feel like I'm a part of it. We live. You on the wall, so yes.

Yeah, I really want that middle spot. But we'll talk about it later. Okay. But I'm appreciative. You want with J. Colas? I felt, yeah. Okay. But I felt like.

I think they deserve that. I do. I mean, I do. And I think this year I just got to start saying, speaking up. What they got to do, all we got is public restrooms. You know what I'm saying? All that you say. All right, you know, I got ADD.

Do y'all have y'all own restrooms in y'all own world that y'all go to in y'all bread? No, no. The whole floor has a restroom. I was just saying, they definitely got their own bathrooms up here, like their own suite that you could just crash. Not yet. I just, I know y'all got gold toilets back there. You got one?

You got a low? You ain't gonna tell nobody? Nope. Because y'all at the level, like, if you want to go take a personal dump, you got to. In your own space. I'm regular, baby. I'm regular.

In your own space. You ain't put me on to the 830 every morning. I'm regular. Do y'all have doors, at least in the public ones, that go all the way down where you can't see somebody? No, you can't see your feet.

You can't see your feet. Y'all need to get, yeah, no, but I'm saying, y'all need to get. You got on Black Tims. See, if y'all get the doors, then everybody's, you in your own space.

So later on in the day when y'all see somebody with Black Timbs in the stall humming, wait a minute. I don't jump in public bathrooms unless I got the whole door. I don't think you can help it after drinking three different Starbucks beverages and Patron. I'm trying different things. I'm not drinking all of them. Medicine Ball was the other one with the strawberry. I got the white hot chocolate and then the pink drink.

Boy, for no damn reason. All right. Talking about overkill. Worry about what the government doing with the spy balloon. What's the strawberry? I got the white hot chocolate and then the pink drink. Boy, for no damn reason. All right. Talking about overkill. Worry about what the government doing with the spy balloon. Here's your front page news. I'm trying to pop your bladder this morning. Now, let's open up the phone lines. No, I'm not going to drink at all.

800-585-1051. So, over the weekend, if you have Netflix, you probably realize that you're not allowed to give your friends, your neighbors, your classmates, or your family members your password. Yes, there's a member of Ray J's team. What's your name, Queen? Eve. Eve, yeah, that's my wife. Oh, Eve, like Adam and Eve? Oh, word. Yeah, like Adam and Eve.

Why don't you ask if she wanted to be on radio? I just wanted her name. That happened to her this weekend. So that's what we're asking. 800-585-1051. Is that right? Netflix is stopping you if you're sharing your passwords. I think it's foul. My password and Princess password, to say,

they work still. I'm watching one upstairs and downstairs. What's your Netflix password? I'll tell you later. Let's talk about this at Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake that ass up. Now I ain't about to go crazy, but this Ray J, and I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Th in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our special guest host with us, Ray J. I'm officially a part of The Breakfast Club.

That's right. You heard the drop. So, Ray J's like, yo, so when do we get paid? That's what Ray J asked. Yeah, you know, I just, you know, behind the scenes, I'm straight to the point. Well, we're talking about Netflix and your Netflix password. So, over the weekend a lot of people got dead on their netflix you cannot share your passwords anymore netflix is cracking down on anybody sharing the passwords and i think it's foul why because in my household i got a password my daughter uses a password i got six kids so it's

four or five different passwords my parents use the password are they doing a family pack why is it four or five different passwords for Why? My parents use the password. Are they doing a family pack? Why is it four or five different passwords for one household? Because I use the password to look at one thing, and then my kids use the password to look at their own thing on a different TV. My mother and father use their password to use it. They use the same password, just six people. Yeah, six people. I thought you could do that in a household. A family pack.

Is it a family pack? I think so. Is my mic on? That's not what that means, man. What it means is... Because my parents use it too, but they're not in my household. That's the point. They want to stop your parents from using it.

You pay for your subscription in your house, but you're sharing your password with somebody outside of your house. That's what they're trying to stop. And I think Netflix is right to do that. Yeah, because I'm telling you, me and Princess, I use her password, so I know it's upstairs and downstairs. Y'all live in the same house. That's fine.

They're trying to stop you from sharing that password with people outside of your house. No, I use it at the hotel, too. It's still yours. Yeah, but how they going to decide if I'm not at my parents' house using it? How do you know if it's not me? Because you know you're not. If you know... Y'all got to look at it like bootlegging.

You used to be a DJ. You know what I'm saying? I'm still a DJ, you ask? Sometimes. They used to run down on you for leaking their music. Ray J, you didn't like when people used to bootleg your music back in the day? Taking money out your pocket, right? No, independently, yeah.

But I really wasn't tripping. He said he wasn't tripping. You would have been tripping if you knew somebody was making hundreds of thousands of dollars off your music. Exactly. That's different. But I'm independent. That's what Netflix is telling y'all right now. These are bootleg accounts.

They want y'all to stop with the bootleg accounts and actually get your own. How are they going to tell when it's me or when it's my parents or when it's my cousin or when it's my uncle? How are they going to tell? Probably when five different people are watching all using your password at the same time from different locations. So you don't give your password to nobody? Never. Not even your mom or your daddy? No.

Your brothers and sisters? Nope. Friends? and sisters? Nope. Friends? Family members? Nope. Nope. You stingy, man. You a bootlegger.

And that's crazy. But you've been a bootlegger, though, because you a DJ. So you've been stealing from people. All right. And making money off their content. Hello, who's this? All right, take this out. I got the plug.

I got the plug, right? When you use someone's Netflix password, if you're in the same city, sign it to it at they house. If you can. Like if it's a laptop or something like that, sign it, have it signed at they house. And Netflix is never suspended.

I've been running on my sister's password since she had it. Well, let me tell you something about Negroes. Instead of Negroes Doing the right thing They gonna still figure out A way to do it wrong They gonna still figure out A way to do the wrong thing right

Man, I appreciate you. Hold on, you're saying Ray J the drunk superhero? I was going to say that. I was like, you know what? Hancock was drunk, but he was a superhero. But I get what he's saying. He said the farther he got away from the white woman, the stronger he got.

Yeah, like, I mean, is that how it happened? Because I haven't seen the movie in a while. I don't remember that mother white woman. There was a white woman in there? But he was showing love. Oh, his wife was white. He got away with it, and then he got strong. Oh, that's Dr. Umar's favorite movie.

I didn't know that. That's got to be Dr. Umar's favorite movie. The further you get away from a white woman, the stronger you get. Well, I mean, you know what? I'm just saying he had some kind words, and so I'm just sticking to his subject of saying thank you, Ray J. That's right. Thank you back. You know what I'm saying?

To you. Yes. I want to, like, I think that maybe a female's advice might work later, too. But I want to do this. We're going to do Ask Ray J later this week. Yep. We contemplating whether we want you for four days or two days.

I think I could do four. Okay. We got somebody coming Wednesday. I was trying to do a five on five. Just run the whole week. We're going to figure it out. There's a lot of things that

we need to lay out. We got to get Crystal to come do breakfast one more. Oh, they going to do breakfast. They going to do lunch. They going to do dinner. They going to do the whole thing.

Crystal. Crystal. Where you been, Crystal? Now, we're talking, sharing passwords. Let me get my mascara. One of the young ladies on Ray J's team was

saying that they cut off mascara. Huh? You wear mascara? It's mascara. I thought it was. It's mascara. Pass it to him so he got to reach for it? It's mascara, I thought it was. It's mascara. Pass it to him so he ain't got to reach for it, man.

Oh, I didn't know. Oh, that's what you do? Ray G, why the hell do you wear mascara? I wear mascara because I do it right here with the gray. Oh, you covering up the grays. Oh, see, I be letting mine flourish. I see you. I do, too.

I do, too, but sometimes I just take it back a little bit. You know we on air, right? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. We're talking on air, right? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. We're talking about Netflix passwords. Oh, we live? Yes.

You told me that. So now they know your secret. No, no, no. You told me. You're supposed to let people know that you do the mascara. You told me we're not live unless we have our headphones on. I ain't say that. Now.

Yes. Let's get back to it. Ray J got ADD because he be jumping all over the place. So one of the people on Ray J's team, my name is Eve. She was distraught because they took her passcode. They should. She get the bootleg in Netflix. Netflix is cracking down on bootleggers like Eve.

I don't agree with Netflix for doing it. Netflix makes a ton of money. They make a lot of money. And if I want to share my password that I pay with for somebody, I don't think this should be a problem. Just like I can share my Apple Music. I can share my Spotify. I pay with for somebody, I don't think this should be a problem. Just like I can share my Apple Music. I can share my Spotify. I can share all that stuff. So if somebody was selling bootleg Raycons, you fine with that, Ray?

No. I'm not fine with selling bootleg Raycons, but I do have a better OTT platform that you can get a better deal, and we got a family package coming. We'll talk about that during the week. What's the name of it? Rayflix? You Google Rayflix, some wild stuff might come up. That's the only reason why I don't want to do Ray Flicks.

I'm going to Google Ray Flicks. But I do have some OTTs. I think we can talk about it tomorrow. I just want them to do the right thing. But it's going down. OTT is in the building. I want to do OTTs with you guys. I want to do O-T-T-T-T-T-Ts.

O-T-T. O-T-T. Hello, who's this? Nakira. Nakira, good morning. Good morning. We talk about these passwords. Netflix about to shut down on y'all. No, I don't believe that because how is Netflix going to know where it originated from? Well, like they were

saying, if you're using it at the same time somebody else is using it, then they can kind of figure out that one of them is fake. Exactly. One of them is bootlegging. uh okay now i get it okay okay yeah like imagine if somebody used your password in new york on on at five o'clock on a monday and somebody else uses it at six o'clock in la on a monday yeah you can't be in the school place that same time correct you're right oh thank you for that because now I'm going to actually change my password Nobody's going to get it You're going to change your password now, right?

Good morning. We are being visited by Aurelien this morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Ray J here. Yup.

I mean, I thought I was just a part of the, like, we got our new host. What? This guest host likes making sure that people know that I'm here for a little while. Because I think, I think just we got our new host. People know that Ray J is a big part of The Breakfast Club. Can you tell them one more time? Everybody knows. Once again, if you do any Breakfast Club trivia, Ray J was our first guest ever.

Not the are we live call. Our first guest in studio ever was Ray J. Hold on. We recording. It's just I got to have it. Okay, now keep going. I'm sorry. Our first guest ever.

Our first in-studio guest ever in the history of the Breakfast Club back in the day on 2010. I got to get the exact date. It was Ray J. We should do trivia with Ray J one day this week. What do you mean? Like how many calls did you have outside? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What type of goons did you have?

But that's the phone call. Everybody talks about that phone call. But our first in-studio guest was Ray J. Yeah, it wasn't that phone call. It was Ray J actually in person. What did the phone call do? The phone call absolutely propelled us, I think, on a national level. Absolutely.

We had interviews that were going viral prior to that, but that was like big, big, big, big, big viral. Even in the history of just what is considered viral now, that was probably the first. The first viral, yeah. Absolutely. Great job, Ray J. Dang. All right. You hit it first, Ray J. Dang. All right. You hit it first, Ray J.

And what it is is I've looked at it and did the analytics behind it and understood our marketing. Sometimes it's on purpose and sometimes it's natural. Whatever it is, we get you to the destination of winning. Oh, Ray J is a master marketer. Yes, he is. That he is. There's nothing that you ever see Ray J doing that's not intentional. I need y'all to know this. Okay. That's not intentional I need y'all to know this That is factual

I need y'all to know this Let's get to the rumors Let's talk Grammys Rumor has it Rumor has it Call out a name Or you gossiping Or you chatty patty

I'm gossiping This is the rumor report I mean I guess we on the breakfast club This is where the tea spills right Yes On the breakfast club Now last night the Grammy Awards, they celebrated hip-hop. 50 years of hip-hop by bringing out a cast of artists.

And Questlove was actually the one that actually put this together. So, it was everybody from Salt-N-Pepa to LL Cool J to Scarface, just to name a few. And we got some of those performances now. Let's start off with LL j and jazzy jeff but i need a radio inside my hand don't need to offend the citizens But I kick my fire way past ten Jesse Jeffs DJ is hard as hell Can you tell? Yeah, he did that live.

Is that hard to do? Yes. On beat? Yes, absolutely. It is, huh? Don't ask him. He wouldn't know. Shut up.

Yes, it is. I don't do that anymore. But yes, I used to do that him. He wouldn't know. Shut up. Yes, it is. Don't talk to a DJ that can actually scratch. I don't do that anymore. But yes, I used to do that. I started off actually being a battle DJ. Call Clue, Ray. And that is difficult. Absolutely.

Call Clue. Only Clue can fix this. Who can do it? Call Clue. Only Clue can fix this. So. Like in juice. Like in juice.

Salt-N-Pepa also performed last night as part of the hip-hop. They killed it last night. Also, Queen Latifah, she performed and so did Method Man. You and I, D-Y. Love a black man from infinity. M-E-T-H-O-D, man. M-E-T-H-O-D, man. M-E-T-H-O-D, man. M-E-T-H-O-D, man. That's the only thing I didn't like. What?

I didn't like Method Man representing Wu-Tang by himself. I didn't like Big Boy representing OutKast by himself. I didn't like Scarface representing ghetto boys by himself you know even though where was andre 3000 well you know andre be on his own time yeah i don't know where the rest of the woo was i don't know where willie d was rest in peace to bushwick bill just make a little bit of time yeah or maybe they didn't get invited i see willie d he left a good i think he did a video saying that he was upset that he wasn't there and it was glaring too because you know run dmc you know god bless the dead jam at the j was upset that he wasn't there. And it was glaring, too, because, you know, Run DMC, you know, God bless the dead, JMSJ.

Of course, he wasn't there, but DMC and Run was there. And with the locks, all the locks came out. All the locks came out. Yeah, we have a play the locks. Love the locks. We gon' make it. We gon' make it. We gon' make it.

Get him. High five. That's a little big. Yeah. A-Town. Shout out to my label, A-Town. Glorilla also came out. Glorilla! I'm a fan. Now, one of the biggest performances, and it's probably, to me, probably the best hip-hop performer ever,

to me, was Busta Rhymes. He has good... They ain't got the Busta with the Chris Brown record? Has good what? Breathing techniques. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you ever put the closed captioning on when Busta is doing the Look at Me Now verse? I mean... If you ever want to confuse your television.

If you ever want to confuse your television, put the closed captioning on when Busta is doing the Look at Me Now Chris Brown verse. And they can't catch it? No, listen to it. No, no. I thought they had it on. Oh, we don't have it? No, they don't have it.

But he did that verse last night. When I say he killed it, him and Spliffstar killed it last night. And that was Hip Hop 50. I mean, it was great. It was like about a good six, seven minutes. Now, people in Atlanta didn't get to see the whole thing. Because for some reason, Atlanta went to commercials in the middle of it. Really?

Weird as hell. I bought some commercials in Atlanta. For Raycon or Crystals? Yeah, for Raycon. Really? We probably got some Crystal commercials in there, too. Like, we probably doubled up. It was amazing.

And I love the fact that it was multi-generational because a lot of people in our culture put such an emphasis on youth when the reality is youth is

fleeting. You know what I'm saying? So what that performance should show you is that longevity is the goal. Because you got some

of these people that have been around for 40 plus years. Yeah. Grandmaster Flash performed Furious 5. De La Soul. LL.

Run DMC. LL never been around for longer than 40 years. I've been in the game for 30. Been about, yeah. I mean, that guy, they got to be 50 years old. Well, hip-hop is 50 years old, so they have a 50-year-old. So what, I'm old then. We all old, right?

Yeah, I am old. Yeah, I keep forgetting because I got mascara on my beard. We do have the Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown. Play Busta because Buster killed the last night Damn thing What do you think, Ray? What do you think? Buster ain't saying something in a few of those. I don't believe Buster's saying a damn thing. We got to stop this. Hold on. Hold on.

And I love Buster. Me too. But I'm not going to sit here and act like I heard every. He ain't saying a damn thing. Play it again. Play it again. Play it. Buster ain't saying a damn thing, bro. Right there. Busta ain't saying a damn thing, bro. Busta ain't saying nothing.

He does that often, by the way. Now, I've seen him do that verse where he's doing damn near every word verbatim. I saw him do it on Big Boy. Right. But on stage, Busta don't be saying nothing. Yeah, last night, he definitely, there few that got that got tumbled in there but overall though he aced it though like the energy but he sounded like how to close captioning reads when you put uh when you put it on for his verse my goodness and then lastly uh this is was probably one of the saddest moments last night when uh they did the dedications to

all the people thatications to all the people that was falling all the people that passed away and uh quavo of course did his So you can take a ride with me Wrap my arms around and hold your tight feel So you can never say goodbye I think you got us up in the stars Over the universe It's bigger than Mars Is that new music?

Nah. Yeah, that's Quavo's Dedication to Takeoff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was dope. What a terrible note to end on, Indy. My God. All right. Jesus Christ. Rest in peace, Takeoff. Absolutely. And you know what I liked about that, though? off yeah yeah yeah that was dope what a terrible note to end on indy my god all right jesus christ

What is that? When they salute all the people who have passed. When they honor all the people who have passed. In memoriam? That's what you're talking about, a UFC or something. I don't know what you're trying to say. In memoriam. More like MM.

No, that's what I was just, I'm curious. They missed some people right last night. I just want to know certain things, and I'll ask questions. Yes, as you should. Yeah. Hovain Hilton, salute to my guy, Hovain, man. Rest in peace, Hovain. You know?

But, I mean, listen, I don't expect the Grammys to honor all our people. You know? But I do expect, you know, the BET Awards to get it right. Absolutely. Coming up. Absolutely. Shout out to BET. We got stuff going on. Yeah? the BET Awards to get it right. Absolutely. Coming up. Absolutely. Shout out to BET.

We got stuff going on. Yeah? For BET Awards weekend? Well, it's just multiple things. Oh, yeah. You on College Hill? Yeah. Shout out to Tracy Edmonds.

Let's talk chicken and watermelon. It is Black History Month. That's where we go? Yes. We'll discuss four after the hour let's talk chicken and watermelon it is black history month

that's where we go? yes we'll discuss four after the hour chicken and watermelon isn't that good? great we're going to talk about it I love that alright it's the breakfast club

good morning your mornings will never be the same thank you for synthesizers, instant replay, peanut butter, and standard time. Are these just words strung together? Or is it just some connection between them? I don't have the answer, but Crown Royal does. Curious? Well, that's an itch you can scratch this Super Bowl Sunday. Please drink responsibly.

This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, February 6th goes to Aramark. Aramark is a food service company that provides meals to the district of Nyack, New York and other places. And that's what they did on the first day of Black History Month, provided meals. Let me tell you something. On Friday, I gave Don't Get a Day to Turning Point USA at Clemson for having an affirmative action bake sale. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't entertained by all the ways people stumble their way through honoring Black History Month.

And the only reason I'm giving Aramark donkey of the day is not because what they did was so egregious. It's just that this is one of those things that by now people should have figured out. OK, see, on the Black History Month menu, Aramark had a Philly cheesesteak, broccoli and fresh fruit. That's what was on the school's lunch calendar. That's what people thought they was going to eat. But they decided since it was Black History Month to change the menu at the last minute. Would you like to know what they ordered

before I go to the news report? I just want to ask the room. Ray J, what do you think they ordered for the first day of Black History Month? They ordered... What do you think of black people? What do you think?

Food. Don't worry about it, Ray J. It's okay. The fact that you don't have an answer is good. Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to have an answer for that. I was thinking of asparagus. Behind the scenes, he said,

Roscoe's chicken and waffles and watermelon sirocco, but I'm not going to put him on blast. No, you said chicken and watermelon, and then I went, well, isn't that? And then you said, what, Ray J? And I went. Roscoe's chicken and waffles and watermelon. Really good.

Let's go to CBS 2 News for the report, please. I would love a chicken and waffle shot. Happy that he spoke up. Yeah, I am. A mother reassuring her daughter after a racially insensitive lunch option was served at Nyack Middle School the first day of Black History Month. Instead of Philly cheesesteak, broccoli, and fresh fruit, Aramark, the food service company that provides meals to the district, served chicken and waffles and watermelon. In a statement, Aramark apologized for the insensitivity, saying in part, while our menu was not intended as a

cultural meal, we acknowledged that the timing was inappropriate and our team should have been more thoughtful in its service. But this isn't the first time our mark found itself in hot water. Back in 2018, another racially insensitive meal was served at New York University during Black History Month. It included barbecued ribs, collard greens, cornbread, Kool-Aid, and watermelon-flavored water. When called out, the company apologized and workers were fired. What's wrong, Ray? What?

What? What? What's wrong with you? What? Ray? You laughed. You got to see Ray behind the scenes. He's like, what's wrong with Ray?

You laughed and you made me laugh. And then I'm laughing later when we go back live. It was just like, I mean, it's a. It sounds tasty. It's making you hungry. It was good. The Kool-Aid was a little rough. Like the Kool-aid hit the thing was rough like with it like it could have just

been like a strawberry like you know special drink here's the thing aaron mark is making a rookie mistake at this point like we've seen this one enough times to know that this was going to cause social media backlash so right right i think to add the watermelon in the chicken like the chicken waffle well we'll get to that and i want to talk about that and the watermelon i want i actually want to talk about that because we've seen this enough times to know that the woktang clan that exists in these schools is going to have a problem with this but this is what your uncle charlie is here for see i've told y'all a million times on this radio we have to rethink this chicken and watermelon stereotype because the only reason we embrace it as a stereotype is because white men who are upset

at our progression made it a stereotype i've told y'all this a million times so much so that i don't even have to repeat myself i can just flash back to one of the last times i said it and you won't even know it's a flashback because i didn't have a nose job like dj envy so my voice sounds the same you got a nose job no man yes he did no because it's okay it's okay would you like this lesson again because it is black history month so it's the perfect time to teach uh our history chicken and watermelons is a stereotype but why is it listen to your old uncle charlotte explain why it is listen this is what they said about watermelon this is from an article written in 2014 for the at by William Black. William Black says the stereotype that African-Americans are excessively fond of

watermelon emerged for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came in full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. That's right. Sovereign whites threatened by blacks. Newfound freedom responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people's perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness and unwanted public presence. Listen, interesting. I looked up chicken, right? Claire Smith, a professor at the University of Missouri who studies race and folklore, said chickens

had long been a part of sovereign diets, but they had a particular utility for slaves. They were cheap, easy to feed, and a good source of meat. But, Smith says, came Birth of a Nation, a silent movie from 1915 that showed the founding of the Ku Klux Klan. One scene in the movie features a group

of actors portraying shiftless black elected officials acting rowdy and crudely in a legislative hall the message to the audience these are the dangers of letting blacks vote sound familiar some of the legislators are shown drinking uh others had their feet kicked up on their desk and one of them was very ostentatiously eating fried chicken that image says claire smith really solidified the way white people thought of black people and fried chicken smith said that like watermelon that other food that's been a mainstay in racist depictions of blacks chicken was also a good vehicle for racism because of the way people eat it it's a food you eat with your hands and therefore it's dirty table manners are a way of

determining who is worthy of respect or not. End quote. Did you learn something? Ray Jizzle? Turn his mic on. Did you learn something? Hello? You good? I learned something.

Word. I learned something. It's just, I don't know. It's just such a thin line between. It is not. We let our pressure. Meaning like I like watermelon. As you should. Like I love watermelon. It is not. We let our pressure. You know what I mean? And like, I like watermelon. As you should.

Like, I love watermelon. We have no reason not to like it. That's what I'm saying. I like it. It used to be a symbol of freedom for us. That's what I'm saying. So where the chicken, waffles, and watermelon? Because, I mean, that's a good combination to me.

A fantastic combination. Even with syrup on the watermelon. That's disgusting. No, I'm just saying. If a little bit got dripped on there when you try to mix them all together, you got the chicken and the waffles. Ain't nothing wrong with some syrup on there. And then the watermelon was in there, too, and it was just kind of. Y'all let y'all the pressure shame y'all into thinking that chicken and watermelon was a negative stereotype.

When the reality of the situation is chicken and watermelon, as Ray J just said, is just delicious. That's what I was trying to say from the beginning. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. That's it. the beginning nothing more nothing less and i don't understand how y'all can take the n word a word that was just a racial slur that racist whites used and still use as a derogatory term and flip that into something positive and some of y'all tell the world no that's our word it's ours y'all took that negative ass word and made it a term of endearment but things that god actually created like chickens and watermelons that are delicious that we made money off y'all let those

racist sovereign whites turn those things into a negative y'all let those sovereign whites turn that into a racist trope and y'all just accepted it y'all literally let someone shame you for doing something good you literally let someone shame you for being an entrepreneur you're supposed to look at those sovereign whites the same way we look at negroes who clown other negroes for going to college for reading for having a legit occupation but with all of that said uh our mark come on you have to know better okay until we can change the narrative back to chicken and watermelon not being a stereotype you got to know better i agree i agree and you know chicken and watermelon and you throw in the waffles too i mean that combination is off the chain delicious i

would love to have that at a party instead of asparagus and some chicken and some lamb chops or something like that. Lamb chops is good. I like lamb chops. Lamb chops is great. Please give Aaron Mark the sweet sounds and the Hamilton's. I like the fried chicken. I'm a donkey. I'm a donkey with a pot.

Oh, man. Who are the donkey? It's not for you, Ray. No, it's dog. Oh, man. Who are the donkey? It's not for you, Ray. No, it's not for you, Ray. No, but Indy was looking at me when they were playing it. No, no. You were talking. No, I'm not.

I just took it wrong. Let's open up the phone lines, man. All right, let's do it. 800-585-1051. What's the question? The question, can we turn chicken and watermelon back to what it originally was? Good food. Do we have to continue to make it a racist trope? Do we have to continue to look at it as a stereotype? Do we have to continue to be upset when people put chicken and watermelon on the menu, knowing that watermelon was a symbol of freedom knowing that we used to make money off chicken and our oppressors

literally literally shamed us into thinking that chicken and watermelon was a negative stereotype and the reality of the situation is chicken and watermelon were symbols of crime for us let's let's hold up the phone let's have that that conversation 800-585-1051 let me ask you a question though before we go okay your daughter's school celebrates black History Month and they tell you for Friday they're doing chicken, waffles, and watermelon. How do you feel? I'm going to feel a little way.

You just said that. Let's talk about it. I need to know your intention. I know the meaning behind chicken and watermelon, but I want to know what the school's intention is. Why do y'all think

it's Black History Month? Why did y'all serve it? And black people like chicken and waffles? But if no, what if you ask them that question? What if you ask the administration that question? And then they break down what I just broke down about watermelon being a symbol of freedom.

And what if they give the kids that lesson with the meal? What if they just say, it is like chicken and waffles? That's a little different. I need to know how you come to that conclusion. It's ideology at the end of the day to educate somebody. I don't even think you used that word. I don't know if you did or not. It don't sound like you did.

Well, it's educating. It sounds like the way your headphones look is how you seem like you used that word just now. Oh, I can't hear. Oh, okay. Can we fix Ray J's headphones? But what I'm saying is to be knowledgeable on everything. Like, if you broke down what it was while you're serving it, then you give them the education that they need to understand it and love it. And so it doesn't go viral wrong.

It goes viral right. I'm smart. Well, let's talk about it when we come back. I know you smart. Ray J is here, our guest host. And it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake that ass up.

Reggie has kids. Yeah, does the chicken and watermelon stereotype offend you once you know the history of the chicken and watermelon? No. So Reggie, your school. It makes me want to go. It makes me think about how you said it,

to educate people while serving before. That's right. And you're paying homage to, you know, entrepreneurs who used to, you know, have this on the menu

and made money off this food and this style of food. Is there any type of food that would make you feel a way? Like, if your kid's school... The only thing that kind of made it weird all the way

was when she added in kool-aid i was just like okay white people drink kool-aid no no no it's just kool-aid was just it really tipped it over for me you know what i'm saying but but other than that even kool-aid i love kool-aid and i love it with all the sugar half the sugar in there like all of it okay solomon no no that's why I keep trying to explain to y'all. So it doesn't bother you. Kids school have fried chicken and waffles for black kids to go. If, like Ray just said, there's a lesson behind it. I need to know the intention of you serving my kids chicken and watermelon

because I know the history of chicken and watermelon. I know that watermelon used to be a symbol of freedom. I know that the trope came to be when slaves, when they had emancipation during the Civil War. I know that we used to grow, eat of freedom i know that the trope came to be when slaves when their emancipation during the civil war i know that we used to grow eat and sell watermelons and we made watermelon uh right a symbol of freedom you know what i mean i know that same thing with with fried chicken i know the negative depiction of fried chicken came because it was uh putting that old ass dw griffith movie from 1915 and they were trying to discourage black people. They were trying to paint a negative picture of

black people who vote, right? Because they were saying, if this was going to happen, if you get a bunch of politicians, black politicians in office, they're going to be dirty and unclean and lazy. I know that. So being that I know that our oppressor made these things a negative, I have no problem with chicken and watermelon.

So what is our heritage when it comes to food right because if it's asian heritage month they have asian food that is that asian people eat right and they could be like well that's not all we eat or if there's a latino heritage month there might be stuff that latinos eat whether it's they got velut i mean this stuff so what is our stuff that we don't feel offended by? What you just said is so perfect because literally our heritage could be chicken and watermelon. Correct. Because of the history of chicken and watermelon.

So if they do put it on the menu, should we be upset? No, that's my point. But it has to be intention. What is the intention behind it? That's what everybody has to start doing. When they start serving these things, tell us the intention behind it? That's what everybody has to start doing. When they start serving these things, tell us the intention behind it. Tell us the story of watermelon used to be a symbol of freedom. And tell us the story of fried chicken and how it became a negative stereotype because of D.W. Griffith's movie.

Because they'll have Indian heritage and they'll have Indian food and, you know, whatever it may be. But, you know, have y'all had balut? What? Butt? Nah, nah, nah. I had butt last night. Nah, butt. Nah, butt.

Butt. Balut. nah nah nah I had butt last night nah butt nah butt but but what it's like the egg the chicken the little baby egg is in the the baby chicken oh I heard about that

it's like a Filipino dish hope I'm saying it right yeah you drink it kinda kinda and eat it I did have that I had that I had that with a Timothy De La Ghetto

one time chicken adobo adobo you know all of that kind of stuff that's just I'm saying it to say That's in the Filipino

Culture So what is our What is our food Alright yeah That's my question So you're from the south right So I'm sure That you have family members

Cook chitlins I do not like chitlins I don't like chitlins too But my mom used to cook My mom used to cook Chitlins New Year's Eve Yeah That was a southern thing

My mom you know Pork's not good for you But also too The pig Was you know We use all parts of the pig New Year's Eve. That was a southern thing. Pork's not good for you, but also, too, the pig was, you know, we used all parts of the pig because that was like the leftovers. That was the only thing that we had. There's history to all of this.

Right. But I know that, but if they had it in a school, would you feel a way? If you're dealing with a school? If they were cooking chitlins in a school? That's a problem. Why is chitlins a problem and not fried chicken? No, no, no, no, no. Chitlins are kind of great.

Why is that a problem? For health reasons, dieting reasons. My mama cooked chitlins, and they love chitlins. And I'm from the South. I'm from Mississippi, but I'm from L.A. All right, Soulja Boy. No, I'm from Mississippi, but I moved to L.A. at two years old. I know, I know.

You know what I'm saying? But shout out to Soulja Boy, but it's not that. And that's my homie. But chitlins and school. That's wild. Chitlins and school is wild. That's pig intestines. My mom used to cook at New Year's Eve every year.

I just don't know if you know what chitlins, that's pigs' intestines. Yeah. Look, I don't know what they do to your stomach when it go in. I just know the whole school going to be smelling like chitlins. Exactly. That's a lot. That would have nothing to do with race to me that's just nasty no no no that's just like that's just the aroma of the school yeah it's it's like it's like just like stinky it's like stinky and then you definitely need some tabasco sauce yes there's no way to

eat them chillings raw like that. You're going to need something. Hello, who's this? This is Kendall from South California. Kendall, what's up, brother? Talk to us. My opinion, these white folks, they know exactly what they're doing. It's not by mistake. It's not by coincidence.

And on the other hand of it, you know, when we're speaking with a lady from Africa, she's telling me the background of the watermelon. You know, it is a symbol of our freedom. But at the end of the day, it gave us... It... Eating the watermelon, it serves two purposes. It'll fill you up and it dehydrated us. You know what I'm saying? So... They know exactly what

they was doing, man. It wasn't no coincidence or nothing, man. They know what they got going on. But I'm not ashamed of the watermelon. I'm not ashamed of the chicken. That's right. They gave us the worst part. They gave us the worst part

of the pig was the chitlins. You know what I'm saying? Now they see how they charging you for it now. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was nothing to them. But now they see how people eat chitlins.

I don't eat chitlins. Let's put it on the record. You know what I'm saying? I eat chitlins. But... Hey! Ray Chan looked at me right in there. They charging for the chitlins. I don't eat chitlins. Let's go with the record. You know what I'm saying? I eat chitlins. But. Hey. Ray Chan looked at me right there. They charging for the chitlins?

Come on, man. I know. I thought. I mean, where do you buy? Where do you buy? Where do you? I have no idea. The chitlins.

They sell chitlins in the supermarket. At what supermarket? All the supermarket stores. In the Valley? I don't know if they got in the Valley. They don't got in the Valley. In the black areas. Like, I know in Queens. I'm from Queens. They sell chitlins. They're too health conscious in the valley. They don't got in the valley. In the black areas. Like, I know in Queens.

I'm from Queens. They sell chitlins. They too health conscious in the valley for chitlins. Nah, nah, nah. Imagine vegan chitlins. No, they not going to have any whole food. You can't go to Whole Foods if I chitlin. Vegan chitlins might work.

No, Ray. Don't even think about it. No, no, what I'm saying is no. Stop. Hello? Because it's not chitlin. Hello. Hey, what's your name, mama?

It's not chitlin. I'm Erica. Hey, talk to us, mama. I call it all the time. I know y'all trying to be calling. Hey, what's your name, Mama? It's not Chitlin. I'm Erica. Hey, talk to us, Mama. I call her all the time. I know y'all trying to be calling. Hey, help me. No, we not. Okay, anyways, on the thing about the chicken and the watermelon situation,

everybody eats chicken, everybody eats watermelon, waffles. I mean, you know, like I get it, but like it is 2023. Like, I mean, people like Char like, I get it, but, like, it is 2023. Like, I mean, people like Charlamagne keep talking about it, so people can't move on from it. Like, everybody eats those foods. So, I mean, if you keep talking about it, then everybody will keep on talking about the racist stuff. Did you hear anything I said?

I mean, people need to move on from it. That's my whole point, mama. I mean, people need to move on from it. You can't let that, but you can't let that keep on defining who people are. You can't, you can't hear scrape because the wind is going in your mouth. Listen to me. Listen to me. I can hear. I am. I mean, all I can hear you talk about is racist.

It's racist. That's all. Every day on the radio. Charlamagne makes a lot of sense. I'm on your is racist this, racist that. That's all you talk about. Every day on the radio. Right now, Eric. I think Charlamagne makes a lot of sense. I'm on your side. Yes, he does. But I'm saying, though, everybody, I mean, it is 2023.

That's right. I'm on your side, ma'am. On our side. I'm with you. I'm telling you, you're saying the same thing. Exactly. It's just flipped differently. That's why when I use the word ideology, you think I just threw it out there in some kind of like term that didn't make no sense.

I'm saying the ideology of black food and where it came from and how we pay homage to it. That's right. It makes sense if you're educated on where it came from. That's all I was saying when I used the word ideology. You used it right, Ray. I was wrong. It's a system of ideas and ideals. Ray was right. Ray used it right. That's right was wrong. It's a system of ideas and ideals. Ray was right.

Ray used it right. That's right. 800-585-1051. We're talking schools using fried chicken and watermelons. You think it's disrespectful? Or we all eat it. Let's talk about it at the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I ain't no witness. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. They can't know me. You know what's up? Call me

800-585-1051 Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy We are The Breakfast Club We have Ray J here, he's our guest host Yes And we're talking about Charlamagne giving Donkey the day to who, Charlamagne? I gave Donkey the day to Aramark

Because they made a rookie mistake. You know, they served chicken and watermelon first day of black history month to a school in Nyack. But, you know, as I've always told you, you know, the chicken and watermelon stereotype shouldn't offend you once you know the history of chicken and watermelon. Watermelon was a symbol of freedom. You know what I mean? The trope came after slaves were emancipated during the Civil war and they started growing and eating and selling their own watermelon and you know southern whites were threatened by black's newfound freedom and they responded by making watermelon a symbol of black people's you know perceived uncleanliness laziness and childish

childishness so it was propaganda same thing with chicken like if you go watch the dw griffith movie uh birth of a nation they show all of these black elected officials you know eating chicken with their hands and licking their fingers so it gave the perception that black people were once again unclean lazy childish and it and it psychologically made people feel like this is what's gonna happen if y'all vote black elected officials in so we let our oppressors tell us that these symbols of freedom, these things we made money off were wrong. But you know what? I'm thinking about it now. I think I would feel a way to it.

I'm going to tell you why. Talk to me. Don't just have fried chicken and watermelon during Black History Month. If there's black students in the school, have it, you know, other times. I think that's more of the argument. Other times. Let's have a little bit more of it. Yes.

Let's not use it just for this month. Since we love it, let's do it in March. Let's do it in April. Yeah, don't make it seem like it's a negative thing. I'm not going to give you black people fried chicken

and watermelon on Black History Month. But as you said earlier, that's like, if you know your history, that is our historic food. Hello, who's this? My nana.

Hi, nana. This is Tasia from Detroit. Tasia, what up, though? How y'all doing? I just wanted to say about chicken and watermelon, the whole situation, that chicken and watermelon, that's not the only thing that black people eat. It's just the only thing that just like Charlamagne gave us the history about it. That's the only thing that they, you know, put out in the limelight.

Like, you know, we eat it with our fingers. It's dirty. But you got Italian pizza. That's, you know, Italian. They eat that with their hands. You know what we eat it with our fingers. It's dirty. But you got Italian pizza. That's, you know, Italian. They eat that with their hands. You know what I'm saying? So we have different foods on our menu. We just got a bad connotation of chicken because just like Charlamagne said, that's what they gave us.

That's the history that they wanted to put out there to us. So, of course, we're going to look at it like it's bad. But same situation with the N-word. Why can't we just take it back and make it into a good thing? Like, this is how we came up. Like, this is the first food that we had, and we built off of that. You got KFC. You got Popeye's.

All of these chicken places. And white people eat that, too. So, you know, it's not a bad thing. Give us another dish besides chicken and watermelon. But we really comfort food, right? So it's like macaroni and cheese. Okay, just like y'all said about the lamb chops. You got ribs. We got macaroni and watermelon. But we really comfort food, right? So it's like macaroni and cheese. Just like y'all said about the lamb chops. You got ribs.

We got macaroni and cheese. We got neck bones. We got collard greens. It's so many different dishes under soul food is what it's called. So yeah, comfort food, soul food. You're absolutely right. Cornbread. Yeah, and I guarantee you it's 50% of black people in their kitchen right now.

I got it seasoned. Soul food seasoning. You know what I'm saying? So it's 50% of black people in their kitchen right now. I got it seasoned. Soul food seasoning. You know what I'm saying? So it's not just about chicken. It's about all the other foods that fall under, you know, black cuisine. We have so many more dishes than just fried chicken and watermelon. That's true, too.

That is true, too. But like I said, I think I would be offended if they just did it in February. I think I feel a little way. Do it throughout the whole year. My kids go to your school too let's represent every culture that's all i'm saying pay homage to our month it's black history month let's do it here this is where you teach these lessons if not then how do we how do we enjoy our month if we can't enjoy our food that's right that's right i want yams and greens and i want the greens with the ham hock in it see i don't eat pork right but i do i do i do too and i don't greens with the ham hock in it. See, I don't eat pork, right? But I do.

I do. I do, too. And I don't even eat the ham hocks all year long. I just like it. Thanksgiving, Christmas. Every now and then. Absolutely. I like it in there a little bit.

Even if I don't eat the ham hock or the neck bone, it's in there, and I can taste it with the greens. I feel what you're saying. I want that. I want it now. I want it right now when we leave. I want to go and get some soul food. You got Amy Ruth's right there in Harlem? I'm with you. I want it right now when we leave. I want to go and get some soul food.

You got Amy Ruth's right there in Harlem. I'm going to Amy Ruth's. You got Sylvia's Classic. Sylvia's Classic, yep. If you want a little Caribbean, you go to Negril if you want a little Caribbean. I used to order Negril every day when I was here. And they had the little, they could bring it with the little plate, like the little aluminum foil plate. And they stuff it all in there. So you gotta eat it

together. You can't separate it. It's all mixed in and it's bomb. Shout out to Negril. We're the bad guys in Negril. They be taking them Asian dishes

and making them soul food. Boy, I swear. They do. They got the lamb dumplings and the lobster dumplings. Yeah, I don't eat lamb. The chicken fried rice

and lobster fried rice. It was in the Bible. They ain't say nothing about no lamb in no Bible. It's in the blood of the lamb. What? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb are you washed in the blood

of the lamb huh are you washed in the blood of the lamb that's a true but that's not a diet i don't know man you're not supposed to have sex before marriage too that's in the bible too i'm married the moral of the story the moral of the story is stop learning your history from your oppressor. Okay? Y'all let y'all oppressors shame y'all into thinking that chicken and watermelon was a negative stereotype. When the reality of the situation is chicken and watermelon were symbols of freedom. And they're just delicious.

Say it again, Charlemagne. Because Charlemagne is telling you what you really should be embracing. That's right. Embrace who we are. That's right. Make sure we get soul food all week. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report.

Yeah, why are you in your shirtless? It was for my ass. It was for when you do the workout like this. And you see that. Why do you have your shirt off, bro? Because it's hot and I feel like I was at home. It's not hot in here. It's not hot in here.

Well, I wanted to show y'all that I feel at home. But it's a bunch of dudes here. It's women in here. It's not a bunch of dudes in here. Don't say that. That's what I'm saying. I was telling them that our ratio is solid. But even then, I don't want the dudes to look at my nipples.

Ratio. I thought you said ratio. It ain't about that. You meant ratio. Ratio's dope. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, just like ridiculous. Ray-lian.

Ray-lian. That's a Ray-vival if we going to church. You know what I'm saying? Let's have some redemption. I like that. If we want to do water, we can a Ray-vival if we go into church. Let's have some Ray-demption. If we want to do water, we can be Ray-vived. Let's get to the Ray-umers right now. I like that, Ray. Eddie Murphy was performing at the Golden Globes,

and he said a joke that kind of pissed Tyrese off. Can we hear the joke? I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind. It's a blueprint and I followed it my whole career. It's very simple. There's three things you just do these three things,

pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith's wife's name well tyrese responded on uh twitter back then instagram back then i'm still team will smith there's nobody on this earth that will ever influence me to ever have a change of heart towards the biggest influence in my life move on already i'm just saying man well and then ray J got revenge right now I've never ever did I've never came up with revenge I've came up with a lot of different stuff like I got like 150 200 names but never raised so Ray J Ray J responded Tyrese better mind his own business you're not on any level to think you can tell Axel Foley or Hakeem, the Prince of Zamunda, to move on

already? He's number one in his acting campaign still to this day. Real legend. You better show some respect Tyrese before we'll slap you back into your reality. Respect. Yeah, I said it. Respect. Put some respect

on Eddie's name. Put some respect on him. You know how I feel about you and your antics. Don't play with my mentors. It won't end well. Exclamation mark, exclamation mark. If we being petty and we talking about move on already and all of this stuff. And Will Smith's one of the greatest of all time. And he would like, I don't think he would appreciate Tyrese going at Eddie Murphy.

And his joke was light. It was lighthearted. And that's my mentor. Eddie Murphy, my mentor. I watch Boomerang and I watch Coming to America every single day of my life for a certain gap. Are you cool with Eddie? Has Eddie ever been a mentor in real life? Eddie, my guy.

Eddie, listen. Only mentor, like a real mentor is our guy is my family that i spent all my time with my mom my dad my sister but at the same time i've definitely chilled with eddie and and he's like a i'm like one of his number one fans so will smith is one of your number one fans i mean you one of his fans tyrese you look up to him yeah whatever and and i feel that way about eddie i felt you know i needed to say something it was petty so y'all like the Navy and the Barb

I was thinking about that like their own fan clan but everybody gotta agree with me like if Will Smith said move on already to Eddie then it just

like y'all gotta deal with that yeah yeah that's on y'all you're saying Tyrese don't have that kind of power or authority just how dare you yeah yeah yeah

like don't do that if that made you a little uncomfortable just tell Will don't publicly try to go at eddie murphy now did tyree's reach out to you i know he likes to dm did he got my number but he my sister friend like they my sister friend meaning like brandy's friend oh i thought you were saying he's like your sister friend like no no i got mad sister friend no i didn't know him and brandy like super cool or at least they've been over since we've been younger so you know even if i get mad it's like he know what's up

he done called me a couple times on some way out like disrespectful like you know i'm saying stuff about how he didn't like certain stuff i did and so i you know i just you know i just spoke my mom there's nothing wrong with that yeah Yeah, and it was light. Yeah, it was light. And I think Will would agree with me. Don't tell Eddie,

like, don't even talk to Eddie like that. That's a way out of both of our, like, that's not, we're not there. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. That's not even in our, weight classes. Yeah, this is way into it. Like, don't ever do that.

And if ain't nobody gonna speak for Eddie like that, which I know he gives no cares about it. Right. But still, Eddie, you, which I know he gives no cares about it, right? But still Eddie, you know, I got your back I came through I picked you up in the G wagon the first year it wasn't even out here and I took you where you needed To go cuz you said let me let me see how this ride That never happened. Eddie Hipp, I said, ooh. I don't believe that. We're going to talk about that when we come back. Hold on, we're going to talk about that when we come back.

He said, Dr. King, oohs. I thought you said oohs. I thought you was somebody else. That's coming to America. That was coming to America. You don't watch Come to America? The mix is up next. We're going to talk about this when we come back. I want to Ray J. Tyrese verses now.

Let's start up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Thank you for synthesizers, instant replay, peanut butter, and standard time. Are these just words strung together? Or is it just some connection between them?

I don't have the answer, but Crown Royal does. Curious? Well, that's an itch you can scratch this Super Bowl Sunday. Please drink responsibly. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Our guest host, Ray J, is still here. That's right. It's Black History Month. What we doing? Listen, man, you know, every month, every day during Black History Month, the Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartRadio, we put out a podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either, hosted by my man B-Dot, where B-Dot tells you some things that you may or may not have known about black history.

And today is no different today we're gonna break down hidden valley dressing yes there is some black history with hidden valley dressing we'll discuss now if you anything like me you know that is ranch over blue cheese at all costs who wants to dip their delicious wings in some old liquid cheese in the words of the great keith sweat nobody baby of course it's ranch over blue cheese everybody knows that and when i think of ranch the only ranch i really think about is hidden valley but after some homework there is a reason why Hidden Valley is the best. It's because it's got melaninette.

Hear me out. Steve Hansen, he was a plumber from this tiny village of Thayer, Nebraska. He came up with the dressing mix around 1950. So he was doing a stint in Anchorage, Alaska as a construction worker. And there he would occasionally cook for the crew. And they loved it. By 1950, old Steve and his wife Gail bought some property near Santa Barbara, California. It was called Sweetwater Ranch.

But they didn't like that name. So they renamed it to Hidden Valley Ranch. And they opened it as a guest ranch. And people would just pull up. Now the story goes, the place became even more popular as a steakhouse with Steve's dressing as a favorite souvenir. They said people would carry it home in mayonnaise jars. They said it was the original Red Hot's because they put that ish on everything. Steaks, veggie tables, potatoes, just like we do now.

We put ranch on pizza. Folks dip their wings in it. Put it on salad, carrots. It was in such huge demand by the late 1950s that your boy Steve Hansen began packaging the dry ingredients. Yeah, he would put all the ingredients in an envelope and then he'd mail it to the folks and they'll add their own buttermilk and mayonnaise

at the crib. Sort of like boxed cake mix now. Man, who would have thunk it? Hidden Valley Ranch invented by a black man in 1950 on his ranch named Hidden Valley. Now take that to school or work with you because I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. invented by a black man in 1950 on his ranch named Hidden Valley. Now take that to school or work with you, because I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.

I didn't know. That's right. Make sure you subscribe to the Black Effect podcast. I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. On the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network hosted by BDOT. Ray J want a podcast on the Black Effect. Yeah.

So log on. Go to my stuff. Ray J TV on YouTube. And then Charlamagne and DJ Envy going to pick it up and get a deal for me. Ray J TV. And also, I want to shout out Crown Royal. They sent some bottles up here and some whiskey. Them purple bags used to be people's bank accounts. I know.

I remember back in the day. When we come back, we got the positive note and Ray J going to get that positive note and he going to tell an Eddie Murphy story when we come back at the Breakfast Club in the morning. And this is real, we got the positive note and Ray J gonna get that positive note and he gonna tell an Eddie Murphy story when we come back at the Breakfast Club in the morning. And this is real too.

I ain't lying. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, earlier, you were talking about you picking up Eddie Murphy.

I don't believe that. Was that true? That's true. Ask Eddie. We ain't got Eddie. We ain't got Eddie. Wait, wait, wait. Eddie ain't been

to the Breakfast Club yet? No. No. He never been up here. I'll ask Arsenio. I don't know if he told Arsenio. Tell us the story. What happened?

What happened? What's the story? So, y'all really want me to tell the story? Yes. Why don't you tell the story? I thought it was over at nine. No, go ahead. So, all right.

So, I go back. And don't rush it either. All right. So, I go. Hudson Miller, who's one of my family, he know Eddie. We went to watch, I think it was a fight or something at Eddie's house one night. In Jersey?

He used to live in Alpine? No, no, no, in Beverly Park. Oh, okay. And so I had left my phone over there. So I go back the next day and see if they'd let me in Beverly Park to just go pick up my phone real quick because I didn't know how to get in touch with nobody. I get there and then I go to the door. Eddie's there i got the brand new g wagon i'm driving my sister car she got the g wagon back 10 years before it came to the states yeah and so he had

bought his wife the mini g wagon like that so he was surprised to see the car he like what is that doing in the states and so he was like looking at the car he was like take me around the corner real quick drop me off let me see how this thing ride so i drove him around the corner and spent like you know a few hours where we was at and just was enjoying one of our one of my mentors like time is eddie murphy that's dope i believe it that's dope it was on accident but it was it was it it happened what if eddie would have said you know how to drive stick? And then you would have said, I can learn. Well, I think I really don't like driving sticks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like the clutch and everything. And it's like I never was able to get them off the ground. Yeah, me neither. I don't like sticks. I would have just said, I probably just stick to automatic. Do you want to get a positive note or do you want Ray J to do the positive note today? Give him something positive, Ray. Give him something positive for the people.

Is my nipple showing? Your nipple is definitely showing. No, it's not. Yes, it the people showing your nipple is definitely showing yes it is i didn't want that no no we want that okay you got a positive note for the people out there i got a positive note for everybody out there here's the thing people gonna tell you that it's not good i don't like it you should go this way you should go i don't you know they always think wrong about your right listen to the people that care about you but listen to your heart because in this music game in this tech game in any game nobody's ever right until you prove them wrong right so if they're right and you don't work hard towards your goal and achieve it

then they were right but to prove them wrong just work harder than everybody else you know i think what ray is trying to say is you don't succeed by saying what you're going to do. You succeed by doing what you say you're going to do. Yeah, and just work harder than everybody you know. I respect everybody that's working at a fast food chain, right? Because the grind that they start with and certain things, like you might have to wear a certain fit. You might have to see some people that you, you know what i'm saying a girl you like but if she see you grinding no matter how she feel at the time i respect your grind and i think either we're all special or

nobody's special nobody's bigger than somebody else just because you got money or just because you're doing this doesn't make you better than the person that might be doing something smaller in your mind. Because it all works together. This whole world, from the gardener, to the janitor, to the assistant, to the celebrity, to the security. It all works hand in hand. If not, it all falls down. There you go. I like that.
