Okay, good.
100%. Are you crazy?
But that's not why I'm actually in Alabama, like I said, talking to the students.
But, yeah, sometimes you do need a mental health break, and you just need to get away
and relax, meditate, and just get away from things sometimes.
He ain't even want to make the bed up.
Now, you see him?
You got your bed in the background.
This is Alabama, you know, so there's not...
Oh, so you're in the days in.

We got Aries Spears on the show today, right?
That's right.
Comedian Aries Spears will be joining us.
Yeah, he's performing at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden on May 18th.
So he'll be here to talk about that and some other things.
That's right.
All right.
Well, let's jump right into the show.
We got front page news.
There's a thing called Ozempic personality.
Yeah, because for all you Ozempic gold medalists.
By the way, we can tell you Ozempic personality, people.
I don't even know what this is about, but I think I know.
All right.
And we're going to discuss it when we come back.
All right, so don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
All right, now let's start with some quick sports.
Now the NBA bans Jonte Porter indefinitely after gambling violations.
Let's break down a news report.
The NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on the Toronto Raptors.
Jonte Porter, for his involvement in gambling, the league's investigation found everything
from limiting his own participation in games, sharing confidential information with known
bettors, and betting on as many as 13 NBA games himself, including betting the Toronto
Raptors to lose.
And I think even more damning for
the NBA is that this remains
an open investigation.
The league has turned over their findings
to federal
authorities. This may not be
the end of this probe, but
Jonte Porter leveled
with a lifetime ban
from Commissioner Adam Silver today.
You know how hard it is to get into the NBA?
You know how hard people work every day to get into the NBA?
And then you finally get into the NBA, and instead of continuing to do that hard work
to where you can make a million dollars legally,
you would rather put your energy into scamming and end up getting banned from the league forever.
The sad thing about it is he wasn't drafted, so he actually had to work extra hard to get in the league, and he did.
And his brother, his older brother by a year, actually plays for Denver, averages 17 points a game, gets like $23, $25 million a year in salary.
So if he needed the million dollars or if he needed a couple
of hundred grand he could have called his brother his brother is michael porter i mean he's a young
man he's only 24 years old but i just really don't understand the thought process of process
of people like that and it's a prime example of you know how like one mistake one misstep can
literally cost you everything one bad choice can cost you everything.
That's right.
He need to come to the front of the congregation this morning.
We need to have a word with him. Very teachable moment.
And quickly in sports, the 76ers beat the Heat and the Bulls
beat the Hawks. That's the play
in tournament. Now we got to talk
Ozempic. Now, you know, people use Ozempic.
They say it was a diabetes drug
and people were using it for weight loss.
But now they're saying it's this thing called ozempic personality.
And they said because people are taking this ozempic, even though that they're shedding the weight, they're losing the pounds.
Still feel fat.
They said they still feel fat.
They still have anxiety.
They're still having depression and suicidal thoughts.
So they're saying it's more of a problem because he says even though the treatments are making people lose the weight, they're still feeling like they're big and they're having a lot of problems.
They said that things that they also said changes is reduce their cravings for drugs, alcohol and sex.
So a lot of women that are having those in their relationship, even though they're looking better, they still don't want to have no sex.
Now, I wonder if that is all due to the to the to the.
I don't like them saying that fatness is linked to like depression and what else they said they're not saying fatness
i guess they're saying using the shot or whatever the shot is making you feel that way because you
know you said you said they still feel fat but so it sounds like saying they still feel fat means
that they're depressed and i feel like that's the shot making them like that because i know plenty
of happy fat people yeah that's what i'm saying it's the shot making them like that. Because I know plenty of happy fat people. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's the shot.
That's why they're calling it Ozempic personality.
It's a shot.
It might mess with your hormones.
Well, salute to all the Ozempic gold medalists out there.
The problem with...
Another problem with all you Ozempic gold medalists is y'all don't know that we know
that you didn't work to lose that weight and you be trying to act like you did.
And I don't like that.
Okay?
Don't come in here acting like you put in all this work to lose this weight and all
you did was take that damn shot.
I don't like that.
And lastly.
Oh, my bad.
You can tell usually if a person got lipo or ozymic because usually with lipo, you can't take the fat out your head.
So people still be walking around with fat heads and skinny bodies.
But ozymic, you lose the weight everywhere.
It's like, damn, you got a skinny head now.
I be seeing
them that's what i'm saying it's not and honestly for me it wouldn't be worth it i would rather lose
the weight you know the old-fashioned way as opposed to lose the weight but didn't have to
deal with a whole bunch of mental and emotional issues yeah keeping our mental and emotional
health together as hard enough as it is i'm not putting nothing in my body that's gonna make it
worse yeah but the only thing is some people are overweight, unhealthy
where they can possibly die. They're putting too much
pressure on their heart. If that's a way
to help them lose the weight to get to that point,
I understand that.
People that just want to lose 10 pounds
and 20 pounds to fit in a dress, y'all bugging.
Oh, I agree.
That's extra. I agree.
That is front page news. When we come back
next hour, we'll tell you about Dubai.
I don't know if you've seen the reports, but Dubai has been getting so much rain.
They said it's the most rain they got in 75 years.
And usually this is in one day they got the rain that they're supposed to get in a whole year.
So, like, it's nasty.
It's flooded.
People are using so much stuff.
And people don't have flood insurance because they don't get that much rain.
We'll talk about that next hour.

It's The Breakfast Club
Good morning
The Breakfast Club
Morning everybody
It's DJ Envy
Jess Hilarious
Charlamagne Tha Guy
We are The Breakfast Club
Let's get to Jess with the mess
News is real.
Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no
lying.
She don't scare nobody.
Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess.
On The Breakfast
Club. She's a culture shift.
She was able to get y'all to see something
and understand something that
nobody could get you to see.
It's time to set it off.
All right.
So I know I tease the A, but we got two important stories to get to before we get the A.
NBA young boy arrested in Utah.
Now, listen closely to this.
He was part of a scheme to fraudulently get permethazine with coding.
He tried to get the prescribed cough medicines from multiple pharmacies in Utah he
called the the pharmacy for prescriptions supposedly for a 70 year
old woman in September that he just made up he just made up this woman first of
all you're not even allowed to be around nobody and a 74 year old woman they said
it he claimed they said he claimed to be a physician and used an actual valid DEA
number and MPI number and other identification for the real physician.
He's very smart.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
He got caught because the pharmacist noticed that the phone number didn't match the number of the doctor's clinic.
So they called the doctor directly.
The doctor said he did not write a description, I mean, a prescription for a woman by that name.
So the county approved a search warrant and that's when the FBI and the Secret Service
and the latent SWAT team searched his home.
The alleged offenses are
possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person,
pattern of unlawful activity,
identity fraud, forgery,
procuring, attempting to procure drug prescription.
You nailed it. You nailed that word.
Procuring.
You nailed it. I already know.. Procure. You nailed it.
All right now.
All right now.
And possession of controlled substance.
He was booked in the Cachet County Jail and denied bail.
You know, the law is the law, but that young man clearly has a drug problem.
And I don't understand how come they didn't have this man getting help while he was on
house arrest.
And now he's going to get sent to a correctional facility for a very, very, very long time.
And in that correctional facility, there's not going to be no real correcting going on.
He clearly got a drug problem.
It seems like he needs the drug, and he'll do anything to get the drug.
But like you said, the problem is not necessarily the drug, which is a problem, because he's
almost like an addict.
But the problem is now that he's got guns.
No, he is an addict.
If he's doing all of that, the guns, yes, you're going to have to deal with that.
But I'm just talking about the bigger issue to me is the fact he's clearly an addict. If he doing all of that, I mean, the guns, yes, you're going to have to deal with that. But I'm just talking about
the bigger issue to me
is the fact he's clearly an addict.
And he is now a physician.
Like, what?
Smart.
He is so smart.
I'm like,
and you go to that point
to get drugs.
Yes, you are an addict.
Yeah, and if you're going
to do identity fraud,
you might as well do it big.
He's a young boy,
so he pretending to be
an old lady.
Yeah, a 74 in September. But I'm not going to say this is good, so he pretended to be an old lady. Yeah, a 74 in September.
But I'm not going to say this is good, but he wanted to get the drugs from the pharmacy
probably because he least knows what's in the drugs instead of buying.
Because he could have bought it from the street.
It's still addiction, though.
You don't know what you're buying when you're on the street.
Plenty of people addicted to prescription drugs.
He's still an addict.
Yeah, and a lot of that stuff do get you out.
So, he didn't make bail, but you know who did?
Glorella.
She was arrested on DUI charges in Georgia.
So, officers pulled over Glow at 4 a.m.
after she made a U-turn at a red light.
The officers approached her car,
and they allegedly smelled marijuana and alcohol.
No, Glow!
I just ready to say, yeah, Glow!
She's in there bumping the album, right? She admitted I just ready to say, yeah, Glo. She's in that Bummin' album, right?
Which she admitted to drinking prior to driving, but would not say how much that she was drinking.
And she insisted that she was able to drive.
Glorilla underwent a full field sobriety test and did not pass.
She allegedly refused to submit a breathalyzer test.
And she didn't know.
I mean, I guess they saw, you know, they knew and bouncing.
She probably just was
doing her little dance.
But I'm just trying to figure out
why did the police
make that part of the story?
Her boo popped out.
Why?
Because they said
that she didn't know.
So they was like,
it's out there.
Oh, you're so drunk,
your boo was out there.
Yeah, and then she tucked it.
She tucked it.
You know, she ain't noticed
so they was letting her know
like it's hanging.
And she was taken into custody
and released on bond
shortly after.
She was also charged
with consumption of alcohol or possession of an open alcohol beverage container.
So she had to lick it with him.
But she said she had drunk it before she started driving.
Why the hell Glorilla don't got a car service?
Like, CMG don't have a family Uber account?
I know they do.
Like, what's going on?
I know she got drivers, but sometimes she probably wanted to go somewhere.
It was 4 a.m.
She probably just wanted to go somewhere and probably was coming back for a party.
Maybe she was at her friend's house at 4 a.m. and she was going back home.
And just was going back home.
Her friend should have said, no, Glo.
You be drinking.
You need to sit down and relax.
Yeah.
Okay?
Yeah.
I'm going to take you little hot ass out here in these streets.
Where you going at 4 in the morning drunk driving?
And I want them to stop catering to the internet.
So when she got home.
Hey, guys.
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs,
the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a
chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys,
and the thoughts that arise
once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins
you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories
from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

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 still have the off-road portion to go.
And we're losing daylight fast.

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 gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing.

16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks
Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the
culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she state and she paid the ultimate price listen to crooks everywhere on the iheart radio app
apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
she uh posted like responses to all the comments i guess
with a bottle of
teleport on her head
I don't think
they realize
the judge
sees things like that
you still have to
go in front of the court
and when you go
in front of the court
they gonna pull that picture
up and say
this is what she posted
the night of
and the judge
is gonna think about
things like that
and what if the judge
has had somebody
in their family
who's been injured
or hurt
or even killed
in a drunk driving accident?
You don't know how you be triggering these people.
Y'all better start taking this stuff serious.
So when I say F the internet, F the internet.
Just go home and sober up and get some rest.
All right.
Yay.
Allegedly punched the stranger who grabbed Bianca Sensory, his wife.
So the police are investigating after he punched
the man late Tuesday night. He is now
named as a suspect in a battery report and the cops
are looking into claims
against him. So a rep for him told
TMZ the attacker
put his hands under his wife's dress
directly on her
body, grabbed her, spun her around,
twisted her, dipped her, brought her back up,
and then blew her a kiss. What?
You let her do all that, then you punched him?
That's what happened. That was a
Nintendo code you just said. No.
And
she was battered and sexually
assaulted. And Ye and Bianca
left after the altercation. After he punched the man,
they left, and the victim didn't need treatment
or anything, but that's what happened. It sounded like
he wanted to dance with him.
First of all, Kanye West did nothing wrong if all that happened.
Yeah, if all that happened.
By the way, even if all that didn't happen, if he just touched his wife under the dress,
that is absolutely grounds to punch somebody in the face.
Even if it was over the dress.
He deserved that whooping.
Still, still.
Yeah, Kanye did nothing wrong in that situation.
Nothing at all.
Absolutely.
So that is the news for the 7 o'clock hour.
And I just killed it.
Bam. Thank you. Nothing at all. Absolutely. So that is the news for the 7 o'clock hour and I just killed it.
Bam.
Thank you.
Just with that.
By the way,
if not too often,
you're going to hear Kanye West did nothing wrong
in a sentence.
Okay?
But also,
is his word
versus the other guy's word?
Yeah.
No, it's his word
and his wife's word
versus the other guy's word.
And if his wife
say all that happened
and Kanye defended her,
then I think
we should believe the wife.
But what if the guy's like, I wanted to save her because he has her walking around half-naked and barefoot.
And I just wanted to save her.
Damn.
See?
Damn.
We'll see.
All right.
Well, that was just with the mess.
When we come back, we got front page news.
Dubai.
We talk about the weather.
We talk about what's going on on this earth.
And it just seems like it's just getting worse and worse and worse. God's sick of us, man. I know. We'll explain what's going on on this earth. And it just seems like it's just getting worse and worse and worse.
God's sick of us, man.
I'll explain what's going on with the Bible when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You're checking out The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
So sick of hearing this song.
Yo, did you say, oh, my bad.
Yo, he said, I will pray for you.
So sick of hearing this record.
It's I will wait for you.
No, I will pray for you. It's I will wait for you. I don't be knowing the words of these songs no more. I'm sorry for you. So sick hearing this record. It's I will wait for you. No, I will pray for you.
It's I will wait for you.
I don't be knowing the words of these songs no more.
I'm sorry, Amy.
I had to turn my headphones up when you was talking.
I'm sorry.
It's all good.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, interest rates seem like they're going to be going higher, which is not a great thing,
especially for Joe Biden.
And the reason being is with interest rates higher, that means everything will go higher.
That means the price, if you're looking to buy a home, is a lot higher.
That means the price of a lot of your goods will go a lot higher,
which is not pretty good for Joe Biden, right?
Because most people want to see the interest rates go a lot further down
so things can be a little cheaper, so people can move around.
And the fact that it's going down or going up on his watch shows people
that maybe they don't want to continue to think about, you know, voting for Joe Biden.
What NB is saying is absolutely true, because people, they'll forget what you did.
They'll forget what you said, but they'll never forget how you made them feel.
So if under a president, they feel like they had more relief in their pocket, which people did, which people feel like they did under Trump, you know, because of the PPP loans and the stimulus checks.
Never mind the fact that, you know, it was COVID that caused all of that.
They don't care about that, but they just know that they felt better financially under him.
And if they feel like they're having financial struggles under President Biden, they're going to remember that in November.
Yeah, absolutely. And this is the report of why they're saying this is happening. The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence.
Right now, given the strength of the labor market and progress on inflation so far, it's appropriate to allow restrictive policy for their time to work and let the data and the evolving outlook guide us.
And this is on top of eggs being too expensive
the white and too expensive everything too damn expensive and now you're putting this on top of
that come on now yeah so usually when inflation when things are too expensive they lower the
interest rates that help people out and want people to spend a little bit more money uh now
that the fact that inflation like you said things are so high and interest rates are a lot higher it makes things a lot worse now on another angle uh we talk about the earth and
how the we are disrespecting the earth the pollution and a lot of the dumb ish that we're
doing as just americans and just humans. He said, yeah, humings.
Trying to sound too smart for no reason.
All you humings out there.
All you humings.
Okay.
And the humings, I should say.
So in Dubai, they usually get a little bit of rain yearly, but they actually got more
rain in one day than they get in a whole year.
And they said, which is everything flooded.
The airports, people's houses, people's garages, stores, and all that.
And the bad thing about it is since they usually don't get that much rain,
a lot of people didn't have flood insurance.
Here's a new story.
The scenes in Soak Dubai tonight look apocalyptic.
Roads turned into rivers.
Trees barely still standing as wind sends debris flying.
The tarmac flooded at Dubai International Airport, the second busiest in the world.
Imagine being a passenger on this plane, battling rising waters, seeing this out your window.
For hours, flights were halted as stranded passengers piled up.
Tonight, Dubai Airport telling passengers, don't show up unless you've confirmed your flight still leaving. There are hundreds and thousands of other passengers just like me in this airport who
have been waiting for 10 hours, 16 hours. In 24 hours, Dubai drenched with more rain than the
city usually gets in nearly two years, shattering records in a desert metropolis known for being hot
and dry. No, climate change is real, y'all.
And people have been trying to tell you that for years.
And if you haven't taken it serious yet, it's probably too late.
And, you know, it's interesting when stuff like this happens
because it shows you how God could really just stop everything
if he or she wanted to whenever they want to.
You know what I mean?
Literally.
That's why, you know, i don't fart in my clothes
you what to do with the rain this is part of climate change i don't know if y'all know that
humans are changing earth's climate and a lot of it has to do with like gas emissions so i don't
fart in my clothes you'd definitely be fine go ahead i don't fart in my clothes cap right and
that is front page news now when we come back aries Spears will be joining us. Aries Spears, comedian. You've probably seen him on
Vlad TV, Mad TV.
And he's going to be at the MSG
Hulu Theater. Saturday, May 18th,
he'll be there. So he'll be here to talk about that in a second.
Alright, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Yes. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's
EJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne
Degas. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Aries Spares. Welcome, brother.
What up? Welcome back.
Welcome back. We haven't seen you in a long time.
Last year's thing, yeah.
I'm on live TV all the time.
All the time.
Yeah.
You know, when somebody came in, I was like, I don't know, Aries Spares, he might be a little upset.
I was like, that's Aries. That's how he always is.
But that's a misconception. Upset by what?
I don't know. Maybe they walked in and they said he didn't seem as lovable as they would seem.
But I'm like, that's Aries.
That's how he is.
They don't know Ari Spins.
I've never seen Ari Spins.
You know, he's lovable.
He's so lovable.
To the contrary, I'm very lovable.
I just keep an ice cube scowl on my face because I don't want to think they can come up and say anything to me.
Like, I love you.
That's hilarious.
You know, let me tell you something, man.
I truly believe I've always been one of the most misunderstood cats in the game because I don't walk around, you know, pulling a Magic Johnson, smiling from temple to temple.
So because I got a, you know, a straight, a kind of certain exterior, there's that.
And then people see me in interviews and based off things I say, apparently truth is the new hate.
You know, opinionated is the new bitter.
You know what I mean?
I'm just honest about, you know,
how I feel about things.
I speak it how I see it,
how I feel it.
And people misconstrue that shit for hate,
which is ridiculous
because I just come from an era
where, you know, you speak your mind.
Do you think you've ever been understood?
Was there a point where you were
and then something happened
and people just started misunderstanding you
or you think it was like that from the beginning?
Well, I just think it was like that from the beginning? Well, I just think it was like that
from the beginning.
You know what I mean?
And especially now
because of this social media age
we live in
where you got to
f***ing fly everything.
Like I said,
when you're honest,
that just gets misconstrued.
And just because I don't necessarily
go with the grain
of the opinion that you like
that's viewed as hate.
You know, it's like,
why I got to always
flow with the traffic?
You know what I mean?
If I don't feel it,
I don't feel it.
That makes sense. I think that and the fact that you sold Tri-State Area in New York and New Jersey You know, it's like why I got to always flow with the traffic. You know what I mean? If I don't feel it, I don't feel it.
That makes sense.
I think that and the fact that you sold tri-state area in New York and New Jersey from the beginning.
I think that's part of it, too.
Bias is f***.
Yep.
But I admit it.
I admit it.
You know what I'm saying?
People go, man, you're in New York and you don't like West Coast rap.
You don't like no rap if it ain't from New York.
I've given credit where I find credit should be due. You know, I love a lot rap If it ain't from New York I've given credit Where I find Credit should be due You know I love a lot of artists
That ain't from New York
It ain't many
But I like our swag man
Oh you know
East Coast ain't beefing no more
Like we cool with it
Yeah absolutely
Absolutely
Absolutely
I'm just saying you know
I'm stubborn in my
In my belief system
It's a certain sound you want
Yeah man
It's a certain
A certain rhythm
And cadence
And delivery
Yeah
You know?
It is what it is.
As a comedian,
why do you think,
and I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,
because I've watched you,
you know,
I come to your shows
all the time,
me and the wife.
Why don't you think
you are not a bigger comedian
as I think that you should be?
Because my mouth
is my biggest strength,
but it's also
my biggest detriment.
No, I don't have to do it,
no ditty.
I know who I am.
I don't play the bass.
I don't play the bass, man. Stop playing with me. I don't get in that. You know what I'm saying? The no diddy i know who i am i don't play the games i don't get in that you know i'm saying the great hands i know who the
that whole pause thing to me is ridiculous let me tell you something i feel like you might be
thinking about it no no no listen when i when i did vlad recently uh we were talking about uh
denzel and i and i said hey listen part of the allure to a Denzel,
especially in his prime, or Brad Pitt, is besides the talent.
They were attractive.
They were attractive.
There's a sex appeal.
There's a sexiness to them.
Yeah.
And the comments was, yo, it's one thing to kind of say a man is handsome, but to use
the word sexy.
Man.
You know that's mad in your ass, though.
That's mad, period.
You didn't say sexy, you said sex appeal.
I might have said, yo, I get it. I know why women like him. He's a sexy guy.
He eludes sex appeal. That's the same thing.
That's the same thing, man.
You wanna say something so bad.
I'm thinking about it. I don't know if I would say sexy.
Sex appeal is the same thing.
It's the same thing. You recognize what you're...my eyes ain't lying to me. I know what ugly looks like, so I don't know if I would say sexy. Sex appeal is the same thing. It's the same thing. Yeah, you recognize what you're... My eyes ain't lying to me.
I know what ugly looks like.
I don't know what attractive looks like.
Right, right.
Nah, the other day, Denzel jumped out of the car,
and he's 70 now.
70.
And girls was losing their mind.
I'm looking at him like,
yo, I hope I look that good at 70.
Helen Hunt looks 70, and she's not.
Damn.
But you know, white folks age like fruit wants to go bad it's over
listen congratulations 25 years of comedy man that's a long 35 35 started when i was 14
damn yeah damn yeah yeah how have things changed man i feel like it changes every 10 years for
comedy you know i i think that it's it's in of its evolution. I don't know if it's as potent as it used to be.
Because now everybody with these cell phones and a platform can get into Studio 54.
Everybody shouldn't be allowed in Studio 54.
It's diluting the product a little bit.
You know, I understand, you know, the 15 minutes of fame.
But substance makes longevity.
You know, substance makes a career.
You know, and I see so many of these flash in the pans come along.
And some of it is funny as hell. You know, I get caught career, you know, and I see so many of these flash in the pans come along and some of it is funny as hell.
You know, I get caught up in the scroll matrix.
You know what I'm saying?
But at the end of the day, I know the difference between the undercard and the main event.
Yeah.
Do you still have the same love when you first started?
Absolutely.
OK, absolutely.
I mean, listen, I get frustrated at times and the moments where I want to quit just because the politics of it and the bullshit of it
can start to wear on you.
But I'm in perspective, what the fuck else am I going to do?
This is my passion.
This is what I do.
So got to ride it till the wheels fall off.
What are the politics of somebody like Aries Bid?
You know, it's funny.
I recently did Tony Rock's podcast.
I told Tony the story where one night Chris and I,
I never really had a lot of interaction with Chris, but we went out to dinner one time and at the end of the dinner he was just
like hey man i can give you three pieces of advice keep writing stay funny and try not to piss these
white folks off um i listened to two of the pieces of advice and like i said my mouth is my biggest
power my biggest detriment i say a lot of that i i think sometimes turns people off and again if they don't know me in depth they take it for face value and they think oh he's this way but you know
again if you took time to really hang out with me and do some self-investigation yeah there's
certain parts that i'm gonna commit to but i'm more than that than what you just see in an interview
you know the politics for me has been trying to figure out how to navigate through this mind
of of uh what you say and what
you don't say you know so you don't hold your tongue so do you ever get to a point where it's
like you scared of saying things now because usually some some of the stuff that when we used
to go to your shows you you would say off the wall ish it was funny but now that that off well
and stand up i'm gonna always be that i'm not changing that thank you but in terms of interviews
not that i'm i don't like the word scared, but I'm going
to be more strategic in how I say what I want to say.
Because there's a way to say everything.
Yeah.
And as comics, you know, that's the brilliance of what we do is to put that, make it smell
like roses if we choose to do that.
So I'm probably trying to think a little bit more.
Right.
Is that because you don't really want to make sure that you're not canceled and you're not
on?
But who can really cancel you when you got the stage? I don't think stand up comedians can never be canceled.
Yeah. In terms of stand up. No. But then, you know, film and television, where sometimes the bigger, easier money is to be made, that can be taken away from you.
Yeah. But, you know, this is why I love Dave Chappelle so much. I don't want to jinx it.
And I don't think I am, but I think he's uncancellable, you know, because he's such a force to be reckoned with.
Something you said just now makes a lot of sense,
though,
because the older you get
as a comedian,
do you still want to be
touring every weekend?
Do you want that to be
the way you make money?
Or would you rather
be able to do something easier
like a TV show?
Well, I mean,
if you enjoy it,
but, you know,
there's levels to this.
So if you're at the level
where, you know,
instead of grinding out
three nights,
six, seven shows,
you do a theater for one night, and instead of commercial, you fly in private.
Yeah, I don't think that ever gets old.
You know, so it's trying to figure out a way to lessen the grind.
You know, like I just started doing theaters now for the longest.
I've always done clubs.
But, you know, between the date at the garden, I just sold out Toronto.
I just sold out Boston at the Wilbur.
So, you know
i'm slowly trying to get to that point you know doing the hulu theater on uh may 18th yes a lot
of people know you from mad tv and i always wonder because comedians uh whenever they get announced
you'll be like from comic view from deaf comedy jam i'm like does that still matter do people
still remember those things not if not if not? Not if your position is solidified.
I'll go places and the person
will ask me, hey, what's your credits?
Just say Aries Spears.
Everybody here knows who the f*** I am.
That's why they bought the ticket.
So they don't need to know, hey, I've done...
They know already.
I might have been watching you on Black TV for the last 10, 15,
I might be 25, I don't know nothing about Black TV.
Right, right, right.
Alright, we got more with comedian Aries Spears
when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with comedian Aries Spears.
Charlamagne?
Why do you think shows like Mad TV,
sketch shows like that,
didn't have the longevity of, like, SNL?
Well, you know, other than SNL,
Mad TV was the only sketch show to have that kind of longevity. Yeah. But, you know, other than SNL, Mad TV was the only sketch show
to have that kind of longevity.
Yeah.
But you know,
listen,
Saturday Night Live
is the bully on the block.
Always has been.
Maybe if the powers that be
had kind of supported us more,
like even Fox
didn't really support us.
Like we had some
of the biggest names in music,
Wu-Tang,
Gwen Stefani,
Missy,
and our lead-in to the show
was the news.
So when they would
finish their segment
they would just go
alright now stay tuned
for Mad TV
wouldn't announce
who was on the show
during some of Fox's
biggest hits
they would never
promote us
no tease
no nothing
so we just
we never really got
the support that we deserved
you know we were like
the bastard stepchild
to Fox on our own network
you know
it's crazy is that when you realize this Hollywood thing ain't for me because I'm being a cursing everybody out
No, I mean listen it's part of what goes through the journey
So, you know, I always said I don't really know how this is going for me
But as much as I want to sometimes get discouraged, I'm not gonna quit, you know, I'll die before I quit
No, it may kill me either way man i'm
in it you know it's funny i just put as much as i complain it's not until you step back sometimes
and you put in perspective where you go i have reason to complain but then i look back and go
my life versus the regular joes this is still fantastic yeah the kind of money i make in one
weekend and i don't have a boss i I can sleep in all day if I want.
Don't have to answer to nobody.
Yeah.
What's better than that?
And I said that to you and then now I work here.
You know, so, you know.
So I'm still going to stay here right now.
I know you're doing all right, though.
I know you're doing all right.
Yeah, I'm doing all right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What was the perspective, though?
Like, what did you want?
Like, before you took a step back to look and appreciate what you have, what did you want? Like before you took a step back to look and appreciate what you have, what did you want? You know, I think that, and this is one of those moments where I'll say I hope people don't think that I'm being arrogant when I say this.
But I think based on my skill level, I should be getting just as much or I'll say just as much as a Kevin Hart or, you know, a Mike Epps.
But again, I will take responsibility for why I'm not.
Because again, I don't, I step different.
You know?
Was there a particular step that you know that, damn, that was one of the ones.
You stepped on somebody's.
Yeah.
It's the whole staircase.
I'm the one in front of Sarah, bad man.
Yeah, I mean, I probably shouldn't have said what I said about Jordan Peele.
And even at one point, I remember Kevin was on here talking about the beef with me and him and Epps.
And, yeah, you know, listen, man, when you're young and you're brash and you're a New Yorker and you're an alpha dog, your ego, you want to beat your chest.
Yeah.
You know, and that's always who I've been.
So now that I'm 49 and I'm looking back, I'm like, oh, maybe I shouldn't have.
You did the Cat Williams before Cat before cat williams probably yes yes but like i said as long as i got air in my lungs and
a shot i got a shot have you ever spoke to those individuals that you know you might have went at
whether it was a cabin i want to know what you said about jordan peele well you know i there was
a segment where vlad had showed a interview where interview where Russell Simmons had described them and basically said, Hollywood didn't pick such and such and such.
And this is how they.
And I was saying, based on my experience with them, especially it was when they were with Matt, especially Jordan Keegan.
You could always see what it was talent wise.
But Jordan was so quiet and he didn't really bring it like that.
So I didn't know that really his superpower was writing and directing um and i just said that you know listen
i said yes they're black men yeah black by pigmentation but you know just because we got
the skin tone don't always make you what the skin tone is and they were very i don't know whitewash
but they just you know the difference between just because you're a black man,
don't mean you're a brother.
You know what I'm saying?
They didn't really have a lot of brother to them.
And then I'm like, they both married the white women
and they carried themselves a certain way.
But listen, this is an observation that happens to exist.
Now I know a lot of people in the comments will go,
what defines black?
Let's not play that game.
We know what defines black.
It's a rhythm, it's a culture, it's defines black. It's a rhythm. It's a culture.
It's a feel. It's a walk. It's a sound.
But it's a difference between somebody that
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.
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 Kaperburg.
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 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.

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.

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.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.
There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.
My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman WikiLeaks.
Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
And she paid the ultimate price.
Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. difference but even the Huxtables you could tell all the jazz hands the Evans was just as authentic
as the Huxtables yeah but we know there's out there and I'm gonna say one now and and you had
them on your show I can't stand Larry Elder I can't stand that coon ass I can't stand Candace
Owens you know and I love when dave chappelle referred to her
as a brilliant idiot because that's just what it is that's the name of my podcast yeah i know too
she's articulate she's intelligent but used the wrong way you know i mean just just it's like
you you're intelligently dangerous so you know and and i don't care what larry elder says i've
seen enough on him to where I go, s*** please.
That's one of the most tap dancing-ass ass kissings in the game.
Stop it.
Now you see, I'm trying, you pulled me back in.
I was trying to watch myself.
God damn it.
The natural s*** is happening.
I've never seen that with Key and Peele though.
But probably because they don't discuss politics.
I don't know.
Well, I don't think they have to discuss politics but again i and i know
to the people that will sit here and go i'm tired of black people trying to define blackness let's
not play this game you know when you hang around somebody and you talk to them and there's a vibe
and an energy you know what that is yeah i'm just simply saying they never gave off that energy
and that was my observation whether one is to agree with it or not
that's neither here nor there you know it's funny about that people at there
was a point where people felt like that about Dave early early early on you know
Chappelle's when I heard that that was only because Dave hadn't like a lot of
black comedians Dave's route was more rooted in doing stuff that white people
saw that black people didn't really see. Yeah. And once Dave did the Chappelle show,
this came late to the Dave party.
Yeah.
Cause Dave was always that,
but,
but black,
for instance,
like Martin show,
Martin,
that's,
that's biblical in the black.
Yeah.
That's right.
That show was biblical.
That's right.
Dave didn't have that accessibility to black people the way Martin did,
but Dave was always a thousand percent.
And then once Chappelle show came out, Oh, oh we'll win it now they late to the party but real comics and real no
dave always been that yeah so yeah what so comic view then and now yeah like how you feel about it
being rebooted and how the same way i felt about def jam being yeah like you know that that was
something the explosion and and obviously Def Jam
came before Comic View,
and I tell people this
all the time.
What made Def Jam
so explosive,
and it was inevitable,
was because prior to Def Jam,
Hollywood only allowed
one s*** a decade.
You know,
Dick Gregory in the 60s,
Pryor in the 70s,
Eddie in the 80s,
and black talent
had always been out there.
We just weren't allowed
to shine like that.
So once America got a chance to see a thousand at once, it was an explosion.
Then follow behind that comic view.
But the genie's out the bottle now.
So I don't know how you capture that.
What was special then now on TV, on TV.
Yeah.
And now you got this thing, which is a thousand other options. You know, and when you did
Def Jam or Comic View, you got on
there because you earned your stripes. You was
talented. Now everybody with this
platform is a comedian. And I'm
just like, damn. Like this one
on social
media, the nigga who puts the cereal on his
head and the milk in the Walmart. Have you seen
this? He's like a pep coach.
He goes in the Walmart and opens
a whole box of cereal and dumps the
entire thing of cereal and milk
all over his body, leaving a mess.
Well, he's trying to get your attention.
But while he does it, he's telling you
believe in yourself. No matter what
anybody tells you, believe in yourself.
You can do it. And meanwhile, in the background,
you got all these people in the store
like, what is this? And in the comments, people are meanwhile, in the background, you got all these people in the store like, what is this?
And in the comments, people are going, yo, man, look past the milk and the mess.
The message.
And I'm going, somebody's got to clean that.
So does any employee that's got to clean that.
That's not funny.
And I said, if you really want to be impactful with that same energy and that same practice, do that at a police station.
Go in the cops. Believe in yourself. Put the cereal in the milk. with that same energy and that same practice, do that at a police station. Yeah.
Go in the cops.
Believe in yourself.
Put the cereal in the milk.
Do that at the police station, man.
And to the people that say this is good,
let them come to your house and do that.
In your living room.
Believe in yourself.
And you got to clean up cereal and milk.
All right, we got more with comedian Aries Spence when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaris Spears. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with comedian Aries Spears.
Charlamagne?
I want to ask you something about the 90s, man, because growing up in the 90s, it felt
like people were not as sensitive as they are now.
And I'm not even talking about like...
It was a great era.
And it felt like artistically, people could do things.
We talk about men on film.
Right.
I've seen people give you flack for sketches that you've done.
And I'm like, but that's how things were back then.
You're judging things on this era.
Back then, that was normal.
So it's like, what do you think happened?
Even the black men wearing dresses and all of that.
Yeah, again, social media.
Because everybody's got a voice.
Everybody believes that because they have a voice, they should be heard.
They're special.
And the fact is, everybody ain't special.
Most people are dumb.
Most people don't have talent.
Most people, you know, they should be quiet, you know, and everybody's got a chance now.
And because of that, we have to protect and respect everybody's feelings and thoughts.
Yeah.
So it's taken away from the purity of being able to just keep what's special special you know it's oversaturated
you know it's horrible where did that come from though like where did that pivot where did that
shift happen to where like the things that were being done in the 90s that were just funny i guess
when did that become like a thing where that black man sold out if he wore a dress to get on?
You know, I don't know where this boogeyman theory has always existed within the black community about men in dresses.
When men in drag has always been a staple in comedy from day one.
And my whole thing was, listen, man, again, let's have it in perspective.
First of all, that is a comedic thing. And when you look at all the prominent black men in Hollywood, both comedians and dramatic actors, we have far more black men not in dresses than we do.
That's right.
And when you look at, I could go down a list of Denzel, Sam Jackson, Ving Rhames, Wesley Snipes.
And it's like we've played everything from lawyers to judges to cops to superheroes, loving fathers, loving husbands, everything under
the sun.
How many of those have been in dresses?
None of the dramatic actors.
I mean, I know Wesley did too long for other than that.
Yeah.
Denzel, this person, they ain't never been in a dress, but even the comedians who have
let's not play this game.
It's like, if you're going to tell me on one end, it's the mean black man.
And so we now taking the glory away from Jamie Foxx, Oscar winner, singer, one of the best actors in the game.
Because y'all loved him when he was Wanda.
You loved Martin when it was biblical as Shanaynay, Mama Payne, the Big Mama series.
So do we take the legend of Flip Wilson and throw that away?
When he was on a show at a time when black people weren't on TV.
And he gave us a platform where we couldn't be seen.
Do we take the iconic status away from Eddie Murphy?
You know, the Klumps, Mama Klump, Rasputin, Richard Pryor,
the greatest comedian of all time as the maid and the toy.
So come on, man, let's not do that.
And if any of these came to your city to perform, you ain't buying tickets.
You going.
You going. That's right. So stop it, man so how do you make stand-up special special nowadays i just
think it starts with the talent if the talent is special the rest takes care of itself it's like i
like that great quote by jay-z i forget the uh the documentary when he performed at the garden
uh the uh backstage backstage yeah and he said, just get in the booth,
leave the door cracked,
let God in.
So, you know,
get on stage,
do what you're doing.
That's going to take care of everything else.
He gave you the talent.
So, you know,
use it.
Yeah.
I also say
what makes him special
is not giving him out
to just anybody.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like,
you just don't give it out
to anybody.
Yeah, it's like,
nah.
I do like raw comedy.
I do like styles from like back in the day It's like, nah. I do like raw comedy. I do like styles from back in the day.
I do like that.
But when it seems like it's too commercial,
like, for instance, that last piece,
that third piece of advice that you said Chris gave you,
try not to piss white people off.
You can actually see that in a lot of black specials
when they trying to tiptoe around stuff right i don't like
that because then it doesn't allow you to be creative and then what doesn't piss and it's not
even just white people it's all these different you know communities now everything is so since
everybody's so sensitive because i really at one point like i really really wanted like a special
and i'm not saying i don't now but it's like yo you wanted to be special i wanted like a special. And I'm not saying I don't now, but it's like, yo, you want it to be special.
I want it to be special.
And I don't want to water myself down just to get that.
Well, I think number one, I think part of what makes a special tour is you ain't got to pump out five specials in a month.
Yeah.
You know, there's so many of these dudes on Netflix who got like, damn, you just have one.
They got another one.
And I'm like, Jada, cooking the bird up slow cook it slow man yeah and again this is the genius of Dave though of all the
specials he put out the only one I really didn't like a lot was the one in the belly room but all
the other ones I can't remember the name but he did it at the comedy store but it was just him
in the belly room but all the other ones were potent yeah but there's so many of these dudes
who might not be as potent but because the opportunity is were potent yeah but there's so many of these dudes who might not be
as potent but because the opportunity is there for the money is there they want to put out these
specials you know and i'm just like yeah i would rather i i would say you know put out fewer and
make sure that the ones you put out are fire all fire yeah but i think they follow with dave because
dave puts out a couple of specials but dave like you said it's funny but dave is dave and i ain't
a whole lot of motherfuckers can rock like that.
If he was still alive, I said the only
comic who could rival Dave
is Patrice. So if Patrice
hadn't passed, boy... I'm mad I missed the Patrice
on the O'Leary.
I ran into him. I didn't
see him on stage. I knew him from
he used to be on that VH1 show all the time.
And I would hear him on Opie and Anthony.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I never...
Patrice was a monster.
You saw his specials though, right?
Elephant in the Room.
No, I never saw Elephant in the Room.
Not in full, not in full.
Oh, God.
Oh, Elephant in the Room, his album Mr. P,
even his half-hour Comedy Central special.
That motherfucker was a monster.
And he liked Dave.
You're going to say what the fuck you're going to say.
You're not diluting this comedy cocaine.
It's pure.
You haven't done a special since what, 2016?
Netflix won't f*** with me.
Is there a reason?
Have they told you a reason?
Just, you know, again, you know, one thing about Hollywood is, and this is why I say,
you know, no one does self-investigation.
This s*** is very high school.
You know, clicks, there's clicks.
You know, the goths sit with the goths, the preps, preps, jocks, jocks.
And people don't take the time to go, hey, man's clicks. Yeah. You know, the goths sit with the goths, the preps, preps, jocks, jocks, and people don't take the time to go,
hey, man, listen,
I know what I heard, you know, perception,
but let me holler at you.
Let me feel you out myself.
And then they can go, listen,
I don't know what experiences those people had,
but the vibe I'm getting,
yo, you cool, motherfucker.
Yeah.
No one does that in Hollywood.
They go off of what they hear.
You know, we had Gerard call Michael up here,
and he said he feels like comedy is a dying art form.
Do you agree?
Well, I know his stance on Dave Chappelle didn't help it
when he came out with that.
And listen, comedically, if Dave was a musician
based on his style, his pace, his awareness,
he's Miles Davis.
And I always said Gerard Carmichael,
he has a lot of that same rhythm.
He's the loneliest monk.
So I have a lot of respect for Carmichael,
but after he came out and then he trashed dave kind of for the for the transgender special i was
like dude you you're violating one of the biggest codes in comedy you're putting your personal
over the art yeah you know this badge that we wear called comedy and this oath we've taken
that comes before anything and so you let your personal agenda and feelings come in front of
the code you don't do that nah he was wrong for that now you know lastly i know that there was
you was in the news about a couple of years ago i felt like somebody was taking the old footage of
you and taking it out of hand maybe not maybe with you and tiffany had it so what happened with that
i can't get into that okay i would love to because it's bothering me not to because on
several vlad appearances you know it would out fail when you go to the comments there's the I would love to because it's bothering me not to because on several Vlad appearances
you know
without fail
when you go to the comments
there's the comments
man
talking about everything
but that
and I ain't never ran
from nothing
you know what I mean
so I want to address it

Harry Spears is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to Jess with the mess.
News is real.
Weathers and lines.
Jessica Robin Moore.
Jess don't do no lying.
Don't do no lying.
She don't scare nobody.
Worldwide Jess.
Worldwide mess.
On The Breakfast Club.
She's a culture shift.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
It's time to settle it all.
Okay, so Jeezy backtracks for custody request of his daughter.
So earlier this month, initially, he requested primary custody of his daughter because of Jeannie's busy schedule.
However, he's changed his mind.
Jeannie is now, no, Jeezy is now seeking to split custody of their daughter,
Monaco,
with Jeannie.
In the new motion,
he said he's hardly seen his daughter
since entering
an informal custody agreement
with Jeannie last year.
He said that,
he said that since Jeannie
and Monaco moved
out of the home
after divorce,
well,
it's not final,
but after all of that he often don't
know where his daughter is which breaks their custody agreement but i honestly feel like if
she moved out like if we just want to look a little closer just to be honest like like that
can be taken so many ways because he if the daughter is with her he's not required he's not
required to know every single place that
she is you get what i'm saying but i know this stuff is designed you know when you are fighting
for custody and stuff like that he did add that uh he is blocked from um social media so he can't
no from our phone so we can't even facetime his daughter and he added that she is uh keeping their
daughter from him because he owns a gun um documents say that genie's rash decision to vacate the marital residence and essentially
take the minor child away from her father was clearly not in the minors the minors uh best
interest but so allegedly you know she's in her you know i'm saying these are my words simple
words she's she's in her feelings but also she still I guess has a right to feel
away because she
does own a gun
and you know
ain't that wrong
with him being a
gun owner
that's something
she's using now
because you know
they're not together
anymore
she was in that
house probably
with the guns as
well
yeah and felt
safe
yeah he's a
sovereign man
why wouldn't he
have guns in his
house
2A all day baby
I know
what you saying
2A all day
but divorce is a
mess
okay so that's
just all it is this is just a mess but Okay? So that's just all it is.
This is just a mess.
But the only person that wins in divorces like this are the attorneys, the lawyers that
are getting paid and keep billing and keep billing and keep billing.
And the sad part about it is all that money that they're spending on lawyers on both sides
can go to that baby, can make sure that baby is straight or, you know, that's just money
that doesn't need to be spent because all they're doing is going back and forth, back
and forth.
And these things could take years.
They could. And a lot of money like you said but you know what i just started to notice
about genie and jeezy what they're starting to look so much alike you said that because you saw
you said you saw jeezy last night i certainly did yeah i did and i and you know he give a little
asian just a little bit like i don't know i get what you're saying because he got the chinky eyes
he got the tight skin
and he you know
it's like
I get it
I swear
and then when you
have a child
that look like
both of y'all equally
that child makes
y'all look alike too
that's so crazy
anyway I don't know
I'm gonna get to
the bottom of that
cause what if they
really
nah man
maybe they just
spend so much time together
you know they say
when couples spend
a lot of time together
they start to look alike
I don't
you're not gonna tell me Jeezy looks like an asian woman now we're not gonna
no no you're saying it the wrong way she didn't say asian woman all right well genie look like
a black man then that's what you say don't try to say i say you look like an asian woman
anyway wendy williams guardian demands that her husband x i mean the ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, returns $112,000 overpaid divorce settlement.
So Kevin was petitioning the courts that he hadn't received severance payment since 2021.
However, Sabrina, who is the guardian, said that Wendy's income had dropped significantly when she stopped doing the Wendy Williams show.
So therefore, the same payment should not be owed to him.
However, Hunter was paid through January of 2022.
So they stopped in like October 21.
So 2021.
So that was three months that he got paid for that.
That that slipped past the Guardian.
Since Kevin was not supposed to be paid for those three months, they're now demanding the money back.
And that was no day. That's the the guardian probably who is this sabrina person
why they don't talk to her i know sabrina she knows something yeah she knew she know a lot um
but the three payments of 37 500 adds up to the 112 000 um so and they try and get that money back
they're not gonna get that money he's not it's already spent he every time about yo where my
other money at because i'm broke yeah so yeah they're not getting it back. They're not going to get that money back. He's not. It's already spent. He's already talking about, yo, where my other money at?
Because I'm broke.
Yeah, because he's saying,
yeah, they're not getting it back.
It's not.
They're not getting it back.
And greater news.

Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a
great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that

territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive
warhead.

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.

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?

Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman.

Now, Charlamagne, who are we giving that donkey to?
Man, four after the hour.
We need Jontae Porter to come to the front of the congregation.
This is such a teachable moment.
This man has been banned from the NBA for life.
We'll tell you why when we come back.
We'll discuss.
All right.
And then after that, we do Jess Fix My Mess.
So if you're having relationship problems or issues and you need to talk to jess whatever your question may be
get on the phone line right now 800-585-1051 donkey today's up next the breakfast club your
mornings will never be the same what's donkey up to
damn the hee haw again it's time It's time for Donkey of the Day.
I'm not even trying to be Donkey of the Day no more.
They should be embarrassed by what they already did.
I'm not making these people do these things.
It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard.
Damn, Charlamagne.
Who got the Donkey of the Day today?
Well, just hilarious.
Donkey of the Day for Thursday, April 18th,
goes to former NBA player player John T. Porter.
The reason I say former is because yesterday we found out that he got banned from the NBA for life
after an investigation reveals he violated league gambling rules.
Let's go to ESPN for the report, please.
The NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on the Toronto Raptors.
John T. Porter, for his involvement in gambling,
the league's investigation found everything
from limiting his own participation in games,
sharing confidential information with known bettors,
and betting on as many as 13 NBA games himself,
including betting the Toronto Raptors to lose.
And I think even more damning for the NBA is that this remains an open investigation.
The league has turned over their findings to federal authorities.
This may not be the end of this probe, but Jonte Porter leveled with a lifetime ban from
Commissioner Adam Silver today.
Now, let me put this in perspective, paint the picture.
Jonte Porter is 24 years old.
He wasn't a star in Toronto.
Probably would have never been a star.
But according to the Toronto Raptors, they had high hopes for him
and felt that eventually he would have developed into a solid backup center for Toronto.
The Raptors said if he would have stayed healthy,
he would have probably been back with the organization.
They said he provided some defensive mobility, was an adequate passer for a backup big man, and had some floor spacing ability.
The Raptors said it's entirely possible he could have landed a minimum contract worth about $2.1 million.
Now, the NBA, right?
Let's talk about the NBA for a second.
It's such an exclusive club.
You know how many things in your life have to go right for you in order to make it to the NBA?
Number one, genetics.
Okay, you have to hit the lottery in the genetic gene pool in order for the NBA to be a possibility.
John T. Porter is 6'10".
I did some research.
And by research, I mean Google.
5'8 is the worldwide average among men in regard to height.
6'10 is so rare that it's literally one in a million.
One in a million people are 6'10 is so rare that it's literally one in a million one in a million people are six
foot ten and if you 6'10 and never played any type of basketball then your nickname should be top
shelf okay because that's all you're good for getting stuff off the top shelf your height is
one in a million so god gave you a physical gift that you really can't do much with other than play
basketball if you 6'10 and never played basketball you're just a twizzler okay long for no damn reason and you look pretty stupid doing anything else when you
6'10 okay coconut long boy and people see you anywhere else other than a basketball court
they just assume something went wrong okay you're just too tall to do anything you're too tall to be
a mechanic you're too tall to be a mechanic. You're too tall to be a software developer. You wouldn't be able to sleep well
on a flight, okay, if your pilot
was 6'10". Can you imagine if you saw
a 6'10 pilot, alright? Daddy Long
Legs would drive you crazy, okay?
Thinking about, what is he doing with his legs in that
cockpit? I'm just trying to explain to you
how rare being 6'10 is, okay?
One in a million. And then just to make it to
the NBA, there's only 560
players in the NBA. Think about how few that is, okay? Think about how rare it is to make it to the nba there's only 560 players in the nba
think about how few that is okay think about how rare it is to make it to the league 560 players
only 1.2 percent of college players make it from college to the nba so usually the path is college
to the nba and look how difficult that is jonte porter's path was even more difficult difficult
okay he did one season at mazorca was named to the 2018 SEC All-Freshman Team,
won SEC Sixth Man of the Year, tore both his ACL and MCL in a scrimmage game,
missed his sophomore season while rehabbing the injury,
still decided to enter his name into the 2019 NBA draft,
and God blessed him with an opportunity to uh you know get signed by the
Grizzlies he went undrafted but he got signed by the Grizzlies in 2020 but he didn't play while
rehabbing from the ACL the Grizzlies re-signed him to a multi-year contract he ended up getting
waived then spent time in the G League then signed a two-way deal with the Raptors you know when he
played for the Grizzlies he made 2.3 million dollars over three seasons do you hear how difficult it was for him to make it to the nba and he's not even the first in his
family to do it that's how you know it's kind of destiny right his brother michael porter jr
nba world champion for the denver nuggets averages 16 and 7 this year got a five year 179 million
dollar contract so jonte has a blueprint for this.
OK, there is a role model for him in all of this.
All he had to do was continue to do what he's been doing, which is work.
You've been working hard your whole entire life, working hard to get to a certain point, only to blow a potential multimillion dollar opportunity for ten dollars an hour.
But that's all he got. He got twenty one thousand dollars was the payout right from the gambling. So twenty one thousand dollars a year, that's about ten dollars an hour but that's all he got he got twenty one thousand dollars was the payout right from the gambling so twenty one thousand dollars a year
that's about ten dollars an hour jonte if you was old on your last legs in the league you done
played about 13 14 seasons i would be like whatever i might even understand but you 24
in a league where you don't even have to do much to get paid nowadays except be tall. And now you're about to be in this world tall for no damn reason.
Just out here looking like you're ready to kidnap clouds because you got banned from the NBA for life.
Now salute to Bonzi Wells and Rasheed Wallace.
They were talking about this situation on the Rasheed and Tyler show.
And they absolutely gave Jontae the credit he deserves for being stupid.
So let's hear it.
In the words of Charlemagne Tha he got donkey he's a donkey that was life is about choices y'all okay destiny is not a matter of chance it's a matter of choice i tell
y'all this all the time one poor choice can ruin everything and he made a poor choice all right well thank you for that donkey today well
deserved yes indeed all right now when we come back just fix my mess if you need relation if
you have a relationship problems or issues and you need some advice 800-585-1051 call just how
fast she sound when she talk too.
Y'all notice that last break when she
First of all
that five month pregnancy
kissing her ass.
fat people sound like that?
Yes.
Oh my God.
And pregnant people.
My goodness.
Jess picks my message next y'all.
Yes.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
X about me. Relationship problems. X about me. You need to beat your co-worker's ass. The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess Fix My Mess.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, I'm Naya.
Hey, Naya.
What's your question for Jess?
Jess, my question is, I got to give you a little background.
I've been in a relationship for about a year, and through that year, it's been good,
but I've been having some baby mama drama with one of his baby mothers.
I've stayed in a relationship and dealt with it because she lives in Georgia, states away,
but now she's moving to Jersey, and I really feel like it's a problem.
Should I be worried about this or not?
What are the problems that you had from her?
She still wants him.
Oh, she still wants him, and he's aware of that.
He knows that, obviously.
Yep.
Has he showed you in any way that he wants her still?
Or, like, how does that?
How does that?
So she plays the whole baby game.
She punishes him with the baby.
So he claims he plays along because of the baby.
Yeah, see, I don't really appreciate that type of behavior from the father.
Because just like women are quick to take a man to court, a man can take a woman to court as well.
And courts don't play games you know what i
mean so i don't understand have you ever brought that up to him like why don't you just go through
the courts to um i definitely have but i ignored it because i'm like she's away no those are just
not you i understand but now she's here now she's moving to jersey. She already moved to Jersey?
Yeah, she did.
She just randomly popped up.
Oh, yeah.
So I feel like he knew that.
I feel like he knew.
It wasn't random.
He knew she was coming.
You know what I'm saying? I think the baby game can only be played if the guy is still slightly entertaining what's going
on you know what I'm saying like oh cuz if he didn't want anything to do with
her but loves his child and don't want anything to mess up the relationship
with his child he will go through the courts like you you can't not you you
can't do that he has to slightly enjoy this this attention that he get from her
like I'm not saying he wants to be with her,
but he like, I mean, it's not bothering him.
It's bothering you more than it's bothering him.
That's the problem.
So I feel like if that don't change,
it's only been a year,
and it could be five more of that.
You love him, don't you?
Like, real big.
I do, I do.
I know.
But yeah, if that don't change, babe, she already here. I know. I do. I do. I know. But yeah,
if that don't change, babe,
she already here.
She ain't moving back.
And he ain't trying
to make her neither.
And like I said,
he ain't taking legal action.
So I feel like
you know what to do
if it don't change.
Right.
Okay.
That was my question.
I just need some confirmation.
I got you.
I know that's right, girl.
All right.
Check in with me.
Let me know.
All right.
Good luck, mama. All right. Call me know. Alright. Good luck, mama.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Jess Fix My Mess.
And who do we have on the line?
Hello.
Who's this?
Hey.
Hi.
How are you?
What's up?
Yep. This is Jess.
Hey, what's happening? Nothing. What's you what's up yep this is jess hey what's happening
so this is my question so is it okay to leave a marriage if you got married for the wrong reason
and you've had enough of the marriage uh example i've been married for three years
uh 2018 i was shot uh multiple times. I survived.
I wanted to air.
I wanted a scene.
In order for me to have that scene, you know, my wife told me, well, my wife now, she told me she wasn't, you know, having no kids without being married.
So that's what I did.
I married her.
I had my daughter.
Now I have my daughter.
I'm kind of done with the marriage now.
Is it okay to leave? Damn. hell we're not happy well I love your honesty first of all but it was built on
a lie kind of sort of you kind of you married her just for a baby like you know it was plenty
women out there that would give you a baby without marriage. Right. And if you really wasn't in it for her, you know, because she seems like she entered the marriage for right reasons.
She wanted a husband and she wanted a family where she would have never made you marry.
She would have never, you know, said, I'm only having a baby when I'm married.
This sounds like a woman who had a mind made up about family.
You just wanted a kid.
It's so many women who have kids without requiring marriage ever like that was unfair completely
i do think that you need to leave the marriage and um give her her life back um you can't undo
what you did because that's the whole life that y'all created but holding her basically hostage
in the marriage or leading her on does Does she know you feel like this?
Yeah.
Dang.
That's another issue.
That's another issue.
I'm trying to leave, but I can't.
Oh, so she holding you hostage.
She holding you hostage.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you're going to have to pay for that, buddy.
I don't know what you, yeah, that's your karma.
And it came back to bite you right in your ass.
Because, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't wanna be with you
If you told me that
Cause as honest as it is, I can respect it
But I wouldn't even wanna be with you
If you told me that
Nah, I'm good then, you know
And I would just end up being a mother
Figuring out how to co-parent
But, um, to answer your question
Um, yeah I think it is okay
to leave a marriage if you um if you got into it for the wrong reasons i just don't like the way
you did it that was messed up but this is your karma so yeah all right appreciate it all right
no problem all right hey just fix my mess 800-585-1051. Now, when we come back, we got Jess with the mess.
Celebrity news.
What are we talking about?
A bunch of throwaway stories.
Basically, you know, I say throwaway when it's like stuff that shouldn't be news.
But I still got to do them because ain't nothing else going on.
When she's tired and the baby starts to put that pressure on the top part of her stomach,
that's when she do that, too.
Don't be trying to clean it up when it ain't supposed to be stuff reported,
but I got to report something
because I got to do it three times a day.

Adrian Broner swiftly rejected after shooting his shot at Coil Array during IG Live.
I'm glad that somebody rejected his ass.
I can't stand the way he talked to women, y'all.
You said he talked to you crazy one time, right?
Yeah, he was a clown.
Like, when it came out that I was pregnant, he was like, congratulations, bitch.
I was like, what?
Unless you're from Baltimore, nigga, do not play with me like that.
Where did they be from?
I forgot.
I don't know.
It don't matter.
It really don't matter.
But he's a clown.
Congratulations, bitch.
So he's blocked.
That's so crazy.
Yeah, but only people from Baltimore can talk to me like that.
That's how it is.
You're not from there.
I've never heard Baltimore say, they say dummy.
Yeah, we say dummy, but we say like little bitch.
We say that.
Okay, okay.
A lot.
But yeah, you say
I can't say that
on the radio now?
What?
Little bitch.
Why can't you say that?
I don't know.
You was looking like
it was too harsh.
No, I'm just listening to you

Oh Lord.
Podcast.
Podcast alert.
Listen up Charlemagne.
Memphis Bleak announced
his podcast series
Rock Solid while Black Effect is open. Oh, that's going to Podcast alert. Listen up, Charlemagne. Memphis Bleak announced its podcast series, Rock Solid.
Well, Black Effect is open.
Oh, that's going to be on the Drink Champs podcast network.
Oh, okay.
Well, another podcast in the world.
Yeah.
Nice.
Zendaya says, I don't know if Euphoria will return.
It's beyond me.
Yes, leave that girl alone.
She's just the star of the show.
She's not the showrunner.
And they too old now.
By the time that show come back, they cannot be in high school no more.
They would have to jump like five, six years.
Yeah, absolutely.
Tekashi69's cards and other items seized from Florida home by IRS agents.
So that means he ain't got no money or something?
I don't know.
He got an outstanding bill.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's when the IRS come like that.
Oh, wow.
So do a lot of other people. I be wondering about that, though.
I really do be thinking about
people because everybody's making
a new kind of money now.
But it's the same old money. They're just making it in
different ways. So you have people making money off these
podcasts and YouTube and
everything else and Patreons
and everybody be bragging about how much money they got. I be like,
what if they paying their taxes?
Right.
And then at the end of the year,
the IRS seizes
such and such belongings.
I think about that quite often.
That's crazy.
And the sad thing about it
is a lot of these people
is different forms,
like you said.
So when it comes in
and they deposit the amount,
they can go back
three, four, five years
and then they just go
in your account
and be like,
well, what's this deposit for?
You ain't pay taxes.
You owe me.
What's this deposit for?
You ain't pay taxes.
You owe me. And then when you ain't got it because it me what's this deposit for you ain't pay taxes you owe me
and then when you
ain't got it
because it might not
be working anymore
like Tekashi
when's the last time
Tekashi put out a record
when's the last time
he went on the road
no idea
and he's also seen
giving away a lot of money too
well
so yeah
I hope y'all paying
y'all taxes
that's all I can tell you

That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests
and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've
hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Thank you. 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,

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.

Be together. You know that place is a wellness
retreat, though. Yeah.
Russell Simmons has a wellness retreat out there.
But my thing is, either way,
it don't matter. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I get you. They were just seen at dinner.
How are people speculating
that they're together? I think people be at the wellness retreat that
Russell owns. I don't know that for sure
but that's what it seems like
yeah
well Usher was just there
right
like what
yeah
maybe they're doing yoga
and meditation
and mindfulness
it's a way to go
mentally decompress
right
and if you want to see
if you see Russell Simmons
it's like hey what's up
let's take a picture
you know
Rihanna talks R9
she said I already got stuff
that I feel I can make
hits out of
girl you don't got no album
make me out of a lion please she's been lying and playing for years polo g says drugs and liquor
help me cope with pain but i need better vices so look one of his fans said i thought you said
you don't use drugs no more he said mfa i stopped and started again and then he said i know but then
he says still to this day i haven't popped the perk for
the respect for my brother but it's a lot of other drugs out here gang this is my thing if you're so
aware right if you're so aware how are you still so easily to get into drugs and you're so aware
to know you need other vices and you haven't popped
you you skipping over perks out of respect for your brother but you're gonna go to everything
else like yo he's aware yeah there's a yeah and that's like that's actually the first step right
because there's ways to start a healing journey number one you do have to acknowledge and accept
your pain so as you said just if you're aware that you're going through something you're aware
that you're dealing with some pain then you need to set some new intentions and goals to deal with that pain.
And that intention and goal can't be to go get some alcohol and go get some liquor.
You need to take your ass to therapy.
Yeah, but you skipping over perks.
No perks, because I told my brother, no, not them.
Man, hand me that over there.
Like, no.
Yeah, brother's doing everything except for going to therapy.
That's what they're doing.
Okay.
