Michael Blackson was like I don't like you.
I was like,

Yeah, he got a little serious.
All right,
well, let's get
in some front page news.
Good morning,
Desmond Figaro.
Good morning, DJ Envy
and the beautiful
ladies in the house,
V. Simone and
Justina Valentine
and my brother,
Charlamagne.
Good morning, honey.
Good morning.
Let's jump right into it now.
We've been seeing this
all over your page,
all over social media yesterday about a retired police officer that was robbed after he was lying dead in his driveway.
What happened?
Fill us in.
Yeah, this is a lot.
Bear with me as we try to unpack this.
There's been a lot of confusion on social media, so I'm going to try to put this together as fast as I can.
As you mentioned, social media has been buzzing about the mysterious death of retired Memphis police officer Mark Leisure, who died Sunday, July 9th.
Now, although Leisure said that the Memphis Police Department was top tier, he was very vocal and criticized about the training of the death,
the training that resulted in the lack of training that resulted in the death of Tyrese Nichols and how officers needed more training. I want you to listen quickly to just one of the things that he said
when he was on the television at local Fox 13 in February
when they did a big investigation report.
And then when we hear that, I'm going to come back and give you guys some more information.
There are people who are going to look at these numbers that I'm going to present
and say they need more training.
500 hours is unacceptable.
To those people, you say what?
I'm putting you in a classroom for 19 weeks,
but I'm putting you out here on the streets for a year.
Okay, so he said a lot more.
He talked about the Scorpion unit,
which was the unit that actually killed Tyrese Nichols
and said that they pretty much had a pass to do whatever they wanted to do.
So because he was very vocal about that,
when he was found dead of course you know activists and
social media influencers celebrities they immediately start saying that something was
wrong with this and it wasn't adding up the reason why a dj is because the police department did not
and the the mainstream media did not uh release a reason for his death so of course folks are saying
something's you know not right about this we need need to look out, look into it. Now, one activist posted that he was shot in the driveway. That is what kind of created the confusion because an activist said shot found shot and dead.
So then the blogs immediately started picking that up, sharing the story, saying he was shot and killed. But again, at that time, no media had reported his death. Apparently they were working on an additional investigation. Now, this is the investigation that they were working on, which might be the reason sounds plausible to be the reason why they didn't release the death. Apparently they were working on an additional investigation. Now this is the investigation that they were working on, which might be the reason, sounds plausible to be the
reason why they didn't release the death. So we fast forward, report comes out yesterday about a
woman being charged with robbing leisure as he laid dead in the driveway. Let's listen to that
report from ABC 24 and I'll give you some more information on the other side. A woman is in
custody after police say she robbed a retired Memphis police officer after he was killed.
According to the police report, Shante Daniels is charged with aggravated burglary and theft.
Police say she was seen on surveillance video running into Mark Leisure's home on Falcon Drive.
Police say she took his phone and wallet and later used it to send herself more than 1700
for shoes hair and more former sergeant mark leisure was found dead sunday morning outside
of his home in westwood we are working to learn how leisure died okay just a little bit just a
little bit more information and then we can discuss just bear me one second so shortly after
daniels ran into the home i want
to tell you what she said what happened uh the again the affidavit says that it was actually
surveillance so there should be some type of tape um that we're able to see at one point in time
that has not been released uh the tape the video they said you can hear that she says um she makes
a phone call and says we're going to see who knows the law now once they arrested her she said that
her and leisure had an argument when they arrived to the law. Now, once they arrested her, she said that her and Leisure had an argument
when they arrived to the house.
He brought this young lady to his house.
She demanded gas money.
They went in the house.
He came out with $10 in his hand to give her the money,
and then he collapsed in the driveway.
So, again, we should be able to see this on this alleged surveillance tape.
She also, again, you heard the report where she went in.
She took money out of his pocket
while he laid on the ground.
And so that is what, you know, I wanted
to lay all this story out so people can know
why it's so confusing. I'm going to keep watching
for more updates. I'm still confused.
You're confused? What? What are you confused about?
So, what was
this dealing with this young lady?
We don't know.
He had surveillance.
He had surveillance. Apparently, no, no, no. What was this dealing with this young lady? We don't know. What do you mean surveillance?
He had surveillance.
It was some type of surveillance.
No, no, no.
No, I want to be clear.
When they say surveillance video, it appears, and again, I'm just assuming, he had some type of video camera at his house.
More than likely, probably like we all do. Oh, yeah, his own camera.
When you said surveillance.
Yeah, he had his own camera.
That made it seem like they were watching him, and that's the surveillance.
So he had his own footage of his camera.
You know why everybody's confused?
Why?
Because it's not human nature to just let things play out we can't wait for the facts especially with social media we have to speculate
and assume and by the time the facts do come out nobody's gonna believe him because everybody
already came to their own conclusions but she did not call the police when he passed out she
went in his pocket took his money kept it moving or did she she she went in the pockets and it just says in the on the report
it just says uh police received a call about a man down so i don't want to speculate because i'm just
going by what they gave me but the bottom line is kind of the charlamagne's point everything
hadn't rolled out yet and i do understand you know the question of being suspicious of a police
officer that came out against police officers and you know mysteriously found dead
but really what confused this story was
an activist saying found
shot and dead and then folks just
kind of ran with it
when people speculate people assume and everybody want to be
first on social media without knowing the fact
well condolences
to that man
rest in peace
the reason they haven't probably uh said why
he died because they probably don't know yet yeah and i had it simple yeah and i think a lot
may again this is just allegedly speculation because the investigation was going on trying
to find this lady who was on the tape you know if you if you put something out and say hey
we got uh video surveillance of the lady who stole the money while they're still trying to find her that could have possibly interfered with the investigation again i worked
on the tyree's nickels case i don't trust the police we all know that i'm always going to look
you know be looking side eye but i just think we need to wait on this to kind of see you know what
comes out and see if that takes come comes out because we'll be able to see you know for ourselves
how old was he um they i don't i don't say i didn't get that
charlamagne i'll look at it he was older yeah he definitely was older because he was retired he
retired in the military worked about 10 years in the military he did over 20 plus years uh in the
uh at the police department as well they did find the lady though i believe they did right
they did find her people are so so dumb, though, because there's cameras everywhere. You've got to live your life like you are filming every second.
Because your phone is listening, too.
That's right.
All right.
Well, that is front page news.
Tez will be joining us in a little bit.

Wildin' Out.
I don't know.
Thanks, OB.
Yes.
Yes.
And yes, OB is fine.
Also, I want to stress that we need to really support our HBCUs.
I'm an HBCU mom.
What school?
My daughter went to Clark Atlanta University.
Okay, dope.
And graduated.
Okay.
I graduated too.
Don't act like I ain't here.
I ain't graduated.
I graduated too.
And I got an honorary doctorate.
You're not paying for yours. You're not paying. You don't have to pay no student loans. I graduated too. And I got an honorary doctorate from South Carolina State.
You don't have to pay no student loans,
Charlemagne. I don't want to hear about it.
I started a scholarship fund
and endowment fund at my mother's alma mater.
So I am supporting HBCUs
like you're telling us to do. So I got an
honorary degree.
Can I tell you about my organization?
I have an organization called Watch
Her Win.
We are doing our
first international event celebrating
50th anniversary of POP and I
started a scholarship in honor of my
dad. I respect that.
That's dope. Where can I donate?
I respect it. So you can
go to WatchHerWinwinnyork.org.
Our IG page is watchherwinnyork.
And there's a link for you to donate.
And where are you based at?
And Johnny.
Yes, ma'am.
You should have volunteers for your mental health event.
Oh, no.
Yeah, you're right.
It's October 7th here in New York.
Yeah, that would give people access to really understand the business of what you're doing on the inside.
So you can reach out to me.
I have a great network.
I can get volunteers together for you.
I'm looking at your Instagram right now.
Where you based out of, mama?
Where you based out of?
New York.
I'm in New York.
I am from, Charlamagne, do not even play yourself.
I'm from the Bronx.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my God. Oh, Lord. The craziest people in I'm from the Bronx. Oh boy. Oh my God.
Oh Lord.
The craziest people in America
come from the Bronx
and all of Florida,
but y'all are hard workers,
so we will.
And the smartest.
And the smartest.
I don't know about that one,
but you know what,
Mama,
September 16th,
we're doing,
we're bringing the classic,
the HBCU classic
back to New York,
because,
you know,
a lot of times in New York.
I already know about that.
Okay,
so we would love for you
to pull up and,
you know, maybe get, you maybe get some involved with your organization.
Because we don't really have too much stuff about HBCUs in New York.
Because the closest one is Lincoln.
And then there's Morgan and Howard and Hampton and Virginia Union.
So we're trying to do more stuff around this area so people can understand it.
They can experience a little bit.
So we're inviting all the schools September 16th.
I think it's Morehouse versus Albany State, but we would love to get you
involved somehow, some way.
I can't stay on hold.
I can give my information.
I have some inside information that
I can't see on the radio, but
I'm also working on the college fair
for the Bronx area. Okay.
Hold on. I will get your numbers and then we can talk.
Okay. Alright, hold on.
I would also just like to say that the Black Effect and iHeartRadio and Nissan,
we're doing our Thrill of Possibility Summit again this year.
And that was a program that we designed to help HBCU scholars break into STEAM,
which is science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
Absolutely.
So, you know, Breakfast Club, we do our part in supporting HBCUs.
We show the host.
No, no, we do. Get it off HBCUs to say the least no no we do
get it off your chest
800-585-1051
now when we come back
we got your rumor report
we gotta talk about
this rapper

listen to podcasts everybody it's dj nv charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning now
we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of while and now we have b simone and justina valentine
joining us and let's get to the rumors Let's talk about this white female rapper
Let's talk about it
I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club
This is where the tea spills, right?
Yes, on The Breakfast Club
What we got, man?
Well, we have this white female rapper
That says she doesn't get the recognition she deserves
As a rapper
Because she's a white woman Iggy Azalea does't get the recognition she deserves as a rapper because
she's a white woman. Iggy Azalea does not get the recognition she deserves. So wait wait I didn't say
who it was. Oh that's a fact. And we have the audio Justina Valentine. Oh being a white chick that
raps was really like just banging my head against the wall and I was always dope. I did touch like
a little bit of success but it wasn't
what i wanted you know i just felt like i don't know the world just didn't want to hear a white
trapping it's a lot of white guys it is a lot do you think that the industry and people in general
discriminate against white female rappers i mean i can't speak for anybody but myself but if i had
rapping the way i rap yes i do feel that i would have
way more recognition being a white female rapping just wasn't it just you know i think you hold up
that's from the uh we in miami podcast just you know i think you are absolutely correct when you
said that i think the blogs took it out of context because they just said white rappers it is
absolutely true that white women rappers have never gotten uh proper recognition they've never
been taken seriously in hip-hop.
White women rappers specifically.
And maybe there's never been one to be taken seriously so far.
That's why they said, oh, do you think white female rappers are discriminated against?
I said, baby, I can only speak for myself.
I'm not talking for anyone else.
But what I said was, before that clip, I shouted out the whole slew of female rappers that are killing it right now.
I said, I'm so happy for them.
And what I said was, when I was rapping, now, Envy, you know, I know you for a long time.
I used to live above the bar that you were DJing at.
And I touched a little bit of success because my boy Fetty, Free Fetty,
till it's backwards, jumped on a record with me.
But being a white chick rapping, people didn't want to hear it for real,
which I could respect.
That's fine.
I never said I didn't get the hear it for real which i could respect that's fine i never said
i didn't get the respect because i'm white i said because i'm not a guy because there are so many
white rappers so that's what i said i said if i was a dude rapping the way i rap i mean
even things that i've done i went up this way i'm the first female to ever spit a real freestyle
and i don't mean a written freestyle that you piece together and fit to a beat.
I mean completely off the top.
I'm like one of five or seven rappers to ever do it.
I'm the only female.
And it really, my fans appreciated it, but it didn't really get that recognition.
I feel it would have got if I was Jack Harlow.
If I was, and shout out to the guy because I like them too.
I love MGK.
It's not about that.
I'm just, what I was saying is because I'm not a white guy.
So I wasn't making it that old.
Well, no, no, no.
You're absolutely right.
I know Justine a long time and she was always dead nice and she never got the opportunity.
Well, why you didn't play her music?
I did.
He did, yeah.
And you were playing in the club and stuff.
Yeah, and he showed me Love You Up.
Yeah, definitely did.
Charlamagne was like, you the reason.
No, but I've known her for a long time and I've seen her grind. Let me show me love, y'all. That definitely did. Charlamagne was like, you the reason.
But I've known her for a long time, and I've seen her grind.
I've seen her waiting outside of the radio stations for DJs.
I've seen her at the clubs for the DJs.
I've seen her doing dope records, and she just never got the love,
I think, because she is a white woman.
White woman rappers have never, ever been taken seriously or gotten real recognition in hip-hop.
I know people will say Iggy, but Iggy had a few things going for her.
Number one, she had T.I., and two, pop Radio jumped on Fancy and her single Black Lil Baby early.
But other than that, there have been no others.
Black Lil Baby?
What was that song called?
Black Widow.
Oh, Black Widow.
I thought you were saying Black Widow.
I thought you were saying Black Widow.
I thought you were saying Black Widow.
So for me, it was like when I got the opportunity to be on Wild N Out You should have been out of here. You said you wanted to say a widow. I think she was saying little. No. But she was saying widow. Widow. Black widow. Yes.
The black widow.
So for me, it was like when I got the opportunity to be on Wild N Out and I got my platform,
I looked at it as such a blessing because you know, Envy, I was really grinded.
I really had to cut my teeth and work very, very hard to get where I'm at.
So when God blessed me with the TV opportunity, I took that and ran with it. And music kind of kind of became like fell to the side a little bit
So when people are in the comments like yeah, well, you know, I mean you can't just pop up and want to do music
No, I've been doing music
I got on while and out because of my music and because of my improv and freestyle ability
Um, are you signing the cannon cuz you got the incredible? Yeah, I'm with Nick cannon incredible
We just dropped a record called mouthouth Go Crazy. Pause. Yeah.
No, it means exactly.
No, no pause needed because it means exactly what you think.
It means exactly.
Spitting the mouth just go crazy.
Period.
You didn't have to do the mouth thing.
For the people at home.
Let me tell you, first and foremost, you rap way better than Nick Cannon, if that means anything.
Yo, shut up.
Don't do Nick.
Bruh.
Now, that's facts, though.
Nick does have a hit, though.
Let's not forget.
Pick up and kill it and kill it and kill it.
No, and gigolo.
And in the classroom.
What the hell is in the classroom?
In the classroom.
You don't watch Wild It Out?
In the classroom?
No, I know pick up and kill it.
In the classroom.
In the classroom is kind of new.
It's still a hit.
Yeah, new edition.
All right, well, let's move on.
Kiki Palmer.
You're not going to let Justina spit no bars?
She can't talk all that talk.
Oh, please.
She's going to be up here all day. I know. We got her. We'll get her to the show. You know, let's move on. Kiki Palmer. You're not going to let Justina spit no balls? She can't talk all that talk. Oh, please. She's going to be up here all day.
I know.
We got her.
It's so easy to her.
You could just throw out words at her.
She'll just go off.
I'm always with whatever.
You are so gifted.
Nigga, go.
Hey, that's one word that I can't say.
Hey, you be Simone if I say get the pepper spray.
Hey.
Because I don't want to get dismantled.
I won't say it. I don't want to get dismantled i won't say it i don't want to get
all right no it's really that simple all right well we got to talk kiki palma uh her boyfriend
spoke out and this is what he said about their relationship and what he thought of her you know
for us even even for you like how did you feel when we first were like okay we're gonna be a little bit public about a relationship yeah um at first it definitely was hard because it could all be very overwhelming
it was definitely overwhelming and intense at first and it was and it's and it's like you almost
feel that pressure of needing to just be perfect and so it can it really confused me and infiltrated
my mind
because not only I had to hold myself
to that perfect standard,
I was also holding you
to a perfect standard as well.
So any moment of flaw
on my side or on your side,
it was World War III
because it's like, man,
you know, we're not perfect.
And now the world sees us.
Exactly.
Man, salute to that young man.
That is a very healthy conversation
they were having.
So this was after?
Before.
No, I think it was before.
This was before.
I just wish they weren't having that conversation in front of the world
because all social media is going to do is minimize and dismiss that brother's feelings.
And it's very whack that we tell men to express ourselves.
You know, our therapists tell us to feel our feels.
But then when brothers do it, especially publicly, they get shameful.
You're soft.
You're a simp.
You're a sucker.
But do you feel like it could have been received better if like instead of him tweeting absolutely his feelings he could have just spoke to her
about it and it could have been absolutely you know i don't even believe that was his real
feelings i don't believe he cared about the outfit right i don't believe he cared about
being the mom i think he's feeling so just hurt because of how he was up
if usher's all up on your girl that's. He gonna let it burn and then it's over.
But that's like a moment.
That's like a childhood dream
to dance with Usher.
If I'm married,
you should let me have a dance.
Hell no.
If Beyonce comes,
I'm like,
go dance with Beyonce.
Go dance with Beyonce.
I don't care if it's Usher or Raymond
or Usher at the church.
If your men's egos are fragile.
Yes.
All our egos are fragile.
You can put your hand behind his head
and start grinding. No. And she didn't do all that. Yes, All our egos are fragile. You can put your hand behind his head and start grinding.
No.
And she didn't do all that.
Yes, she did.
But here's the thing.
She's an entertainer.
She did not grind on Usher's private part.
Okay, she didn't grind on Usher's private part.
No, if she was just a regular female.
If she was just a regular female and started grinding on Usher, then I could see.
But Kiki is an entertainer.
She does it.
This is her living.
This is her bread and butter.
So she's going to give the people what they want. That's still my girl.
That's my girl. That's my baby mama.
She just going to bang them. Let me tell you something.
That's what I've seen. For a man, that's what he's seen.
As a married man, there's a lot of stupid
things I've done on this radio.
You have. You know, being perverted, sniffing
seats, whatever, whatever. And I used to say the same
thing. It's all entertainment. And that was dope.
It's not just all entertainment. People's feelings
can still be hurt by things of that nature.
How does your wife feel when you flirt with me every morning?
How does your wife feel when you flirt with me every morning?
I asked you first.
I asked you first.
Actually, his wife said he liked it.
Who's seat did you sit in?
Ever since J-Lo, but don't worry about it.
His wife said...
That kind of...
Like, J-Lo, I would sniff her seat, too.
Oh, my goodness.
I would have licked it.
I would have taken a step further.
All right.
You know what?
When we come back, we got front page news. Can we keep Justina? Why? Because she said she would have licked it. I would have taken a step further. All right. You know what? When we come back, we got front page news.
Can we keep Justina?
Why?
Because she said she would have licked it?
Shut up.
I do lick right across the bridge.

Now let's talk about this one dead, one arrested after a vehicle pedestrian crash.
What happened with this? Yeah. Now, this is the brother that called in yesterday.
You remember during get it off your chest. He said he was trying to reach us.
Wasn't able to get my information. He mentioned he sent a DM to Charlemagne and I.
So I posted a post yesterday asking him to reach out to me. He did respond.
I looked up the story with his stepmom.
I want you to listen to the report by KXAN and Austin, and then I'll give you some more information on the other side.
Police announced officers arrested a woman in connection to a deadly crash on Saturday.
Police say Marina de la Rosa was driving an SUV when she hit a boat trailer parked on the road and then hit janica molina police said molina was walking
on pecan brook drive across from lbj high school de la rosa faces intoxication manslaughter charges
now that was a short clip uh but i want to reiterate uh that the family said she was
standing outside uh checking her mailbox when the drunk driver was driving over the speed limit and killed her.
And what I'm about to say is graphic, but it's important because I want you guys to know how this family has been impacted.
Once she was.
She was drug about four houses down.
Her family said we were going back and forth last night talking.
Her family said it's probably going to be a closed casket um this sister leaves three small children
13 6 and 5 it it literally it makes me choke up to think about just beautiful family uh and the
family's trying to cover the funeral costs guys so their goal is to get to 10 000 uh they're about
halfway through to the goal
um if people are interested in helping please look it up under go fund me her first name is
spelled jay as in john a n i c i a melina um i also have it on my instagram page at tesla
figaro so if you can't find it go to my instagram page um there's more than one fundraiser so be
sure guys to donate to the one that's organized by the sister, Tiana Molina. And I just want to give a special shout out to
the stepson. You know, he sent, when I did see that he was in my hidden inbox, he had
been trying to reach us for a minute. He called up here to the show. He was really, you know,
working hard to advocate for a stepmom. And guys, really take a look at those pictures.
Those kids are really adorable, and it's really sad that this young lady was you know done like this by a drunk
i'm definitely gonna put some some money in it right now yeah how old was she she was a young
woman um the report unfortunately it didn't give anything but one paragraph so um it didn't say
you know her age they also didn't put um her age on the gofundme so it didn't they didn't list any
of that.
But, you know, young woman, obviously, you know, having young kids like that, five years old.
How old was the driver?
How old was the driver?
Was he a young kid?
Was he a teen?
Was he a young adult? This was a woman.
This was a woman.
So, again, they only put a paragraph out because, again, they don't cover our stories like that in depth.
So it doesn't say, you know, how old they are.
But she looks, I mean, I don't want to guess, but she's definitely not young.
Looks like somebody probably in her 30s, early 30s, somewhere around that age.
And the crazy part.
I know she's old enough to know better.
That's right.
And the crazy part is she kept dragging, she kept driving.
She was trying to, she got out the car and ran.
And she, I believe she almost hit another house.
I mean, she didn't just hit her and keep going.
When you're under the influence, though, you're not in your right mind.
That is very true, B. Simone.
But that is not an excuse.
No, it's not an excuse.
The reason that's not an excuse is to get behind the wheel.
You've got to know better about drugs.
There's so many other things.
2023, we've had so many campaigns, highways and highways,
you know, don't drink and drive campaigns.
You know not to drink and drive.
It's over.
It's not easy.
Not drinking and driving is making that decision while you're sober though yeah you get what i'm saying when you're drunk you're already
out of your out of your mind so you have to make that decision while you're sober i'm not driving
tonight yeah right lock her up again right lock her up for a long time like right people like
that gotta get the book thrown at them. Absolutely. Yeah.
And I don't know
what her occupation was,
but they did stress
that she was hardworking.
One of her photos
she had on some type of scrubs.
So I'm not sure
if she was in the medical
industry or not,
but I just know those kids
are just adorable.
This is just really,
really sad.
I mean, they said
literally she was ripped apart
and I hate to be graphic
in that way,
but I want guys to know
how impactful this is. We need to hear about this stuff to know one make better choices and you guys please
help this family out there just trying to get um enough to cover the funeral so you're doing
something as simple as just walk into your mailbox to check your mail right my goodness
all right well let's uh let's jump into this next story about the uh strict abortion bill
that was passed last night. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, one or two.
Is there any happy time?
I'm like at 6 a.m.
I got to go back to my meditation corner.
I know that's funny.
It's interesting you say that, B. Simone.
And that's the thing.
You know, with Front Page News, we have a cover of what's happening.
I know.
It's the one ten minutes of the four hours, you know, that we try to cover, you know, what's happening in the real world.
So I'm sorry to be a downer.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're just doing your job.
We have to talk about the hard things.
I get it.
Yeah, we do.
Now, this is what happened in the Iowa legislature.
It was passed a bill on Tuesday that will ban nearly all abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, severely cutting off access to women who are not able to have the procedure because most women don't even know
they're pregnant until six weeks so this will prohibit abortions after cardiac
activity is detected the doctors say that can happen around six weeks now the
arguments broke out between supporters and opponents of the bill it got really
really heated so much that a state trooper had to break them up let's take
a quick listen with that sound of light and I'll give you some more information.
Get out of my face.
My body, my truth.
Don't touch me.
I didn't touch you.
I touched your skin.
I read this.
Oh, man.
Oh, God.
It's special.
It's special.
I couldn't hear nothing.
It sounded like a train station.
Yeah, they were.
I couldn't hear that much as well.
But the bottom line is it was a
lot of screaming a lot of yelling they had that that was actually between um a priest and somebody
else so the priest was you know in there where stuff got pretty pretty um aggressive but uh the
thing about this is medical professionals are saying that it's misleading to say that there
is an actual heartbeat because those early sounds could be electric pulses not necessarily a heartbeat so
that is the big issue on this um also republican representative brad sherman he said that everyone
is free not to have sex if they're not prepared to have a baby they shouldn't have sex if they're
that concerned about it he said he will stand by everyone's right to practice abstinence so
i was you know really going through this and as we know this is happening all over the country so that's where we are on that oh this is dangerous six weeks is crazy
you know because you like i know sometimes i forget when i get my period so i try to look
in the calendar like when did i have that thing last 100 you know so like going two weeks over
when you're supposed to get it that's i talked about that on my podcast i didn't know i had an
abortion and mine was right at six weeks.
That was like I made the deadline.
That's when you found out?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, that's what most people find out.
So pretty much people are saying this is pretty much banning abortion, period,
if you're going to put a six-week deadline on it. And just as FYI, it used to be up to 20 weeks in this state,
and so now they bumped it down, Bumped it to six weeks.
How long ago
you had an abortion, B?
Or do you want to talk about it?
No, I don't mind.
Around 2019.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, I talked about it
on my podcast.
No For Sure podcast.
Shout it out.
Yeah.
So yeah, I mean,
I'm open about it
and I feel like
I made the best decision for me
and I feel like
not being able
to make that decision
is going to be very dangerous for women.
Because they're still going to make that decision.
And the babies that they have that they didn't want.
Oh, my God.
You know, yeah, yeah.
Now, like you said, I think women, if they want to make that decision, they're going to make it regardless.
And if they can't do it the right way, in a safe way, it's going to go back to,
you remember when we were kids growing up and you would hear all these these women doing stuff with hangers on basements.
Oh, my goodness. It's going to be it's going to be that.
I mean, there's always a place you can go to get it, but people don't have the money to even travel.
Right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah.
But see, the thing is, this this legislation is going all over the country at some point.
It may not be a place to get it, you know, but you're right, Charlemagne.
In fact, the numbers show that there has been more outside travel as a result of this you know people trying to go for example you know oklahoma to texas
or texas to you know another state or because again this legislation is happening all over
the country so where you know at some point probably california california new york probably
the last two places you're gonna be able to go right right eventually all right well thanks for
sharing be some all thank you for sharing that personal story.

I introduced and nobody heard, though.
I did introduce him.
But you know, know that is something and that's why just to flip over to how incredible survival of the thickest is because that's right it's it's michelle's authentic self it's her heart her soul
her experience and her giving herself the permission to be her and how diverse her life is and then she was
able to just like create all these
beautiful opportunities for us
that's why I literally
and she's funny as hell
she's been funny
amazing
and she ain't no hatin
no
you know how she's been
listen she want everybody to be great I mean and it's such a blessing to support a black woman that's right
that wrote the book wrote the show executive produced it starring in it if you can't but like
just literally support and stand behind this woman and be there to hold her up, you dumb.
That's all I got to say.
Oh, my God.
Am I going to cry?
I think so.
I think so.
How about Michelle?
Is it overwhelming?
It's overwhelming in all the right ways, right?
So it's hard to describe something you've never been through before.
So getting married is a shared experience.
Having kids.
I could talk to people anywhere
in the world about that but to be a plus size woman you know size 18 20 like not fit in any
mold like you're too light you're too big you're not big enough whatever it is that i can't do for
somebody just to just do me and know that it's gonna work out 20 some odd years later and to
write a book and have that book optioned into eight beautiful episodes on one of the biggest platforms.
And I'm going to like have this show drop in 190 countries.
I'm like, OK, let me do it.
Let me just say this.
Not only did she create do the whole thing and she put a crew together, a casting crew together like I've never seen.
I mean, I've been in the industry
for a long time.
I have never seen
a black female camera person.
Ever.
I mean, she put such thought
in who she brought together
that it made it fun.
You walked into the
makeup and hair trailer
and it was all of us.
You know, we don't see that.
We don't get that.
And she was intentional
for doing that.
And that says a lot.
It's important to see that. You have to see to see yourself everywhere yeah i grew edges doing the show you know what i'm saying
i mean yeah charlamagne you know some of these shows are from edges out
i know he got both i know he got both you got y'all. You got fillers. You got good skin.
Listen, because that skin is pretty and them cheeks
is poppy.
Are you a vegan?
Are you not eating meat?
He just looks good.
All he do is drink water.
I do.
Did you know you wanted Garcelle and Tasha
to play on this?
I mean, yes. They've always been on my mind, on my list, in my back pocket.
I'm like, if I ever get the chance, because I've been such a fan,
and I love that they have this light.
They walk into a room, and you can tell they just light up.
You can tell that they have been through some shit.
You can tell that that ain't going to phase them.
You can tell that they also want to lift other women up and like i'm like when you see yourself in
someone you should try to work with them and i know a lot of people get insecure or whatever it
is whatever you're going through just check yourself because you know rooting for someone
else's success will never f**k up yours like we are definitely better and stronger together and
so i mean garcelle you know i'll call her the haitian beyonce like she is the one you know like my dad's from haiti so like everyone's just like oh my god
you guys like my family alone i'm just i can't even imagine and then just like tasha like for
like just forget it just you know if you force of nature oh my god you combined all of our years together? A lot of the most forces in nature. Oh, my God. You know?
So, yeah, I mean, I'm not here to do what everybody else does, to live in the likes,
get somebody with a lot of followers, a new next hot thing.
It's just like, you know, I need somebody true to this, you know?
So I'm just so excited.
I just really want people to watch it and take away whatever they need.
What are you hoping people get from it?
I mean, it's a love letter to, to like the fatty baddies and oddie bodies
like if you can't figure out how to love yourself i want to help you if you feel like how am i ever
going to get into this size whatever you don't need to you are perfect the way you are you know
we live our life just knowing that we are living in a world where we'll never live up to this
unrealistic patriarchal standard of attraction.
Like, you're never going to do that.
So just do you.
You know, we have trans performers, non-binary royalty.
If you are a parent that doesn't understand the language around non-binary, I'm here to help you.
It starts with the culture, too.
So I'm here for that.
You know, if you are a black woman trying to figure out how to get her life together, you know, as you're approaching 40.
You know, am I going to stay in this relationship? Am I going as you're approaching 40 you know am i gonna stay in this relationship am i gonna stay in this neighborhood am i gonna stay
in this job you know i see something else for myself i want to help you see that for yourself
too also it's funny as you're gonna laugh along the way whoever needs something from it you know
i think they'll get it i'll ask a question what matters more right diversity or if something is actually good. Oh, my God. Both. Yeah. Both.
And, you know, there's a lot of basic stuff out there because the need for diversity trumps whether it's good or not.
But, yeah, it's got to be good.
I was going to ask, you know, with with everything talking about, it seems like they pick apart people.
They pick apart their looks no matter what it is.
The airlines said the other day, if you're over over a certain way they charge you for a second seat when you're doing a show like that how do you play into how
the world looks at people and the world picks apart people all the time they've been doing it
since we've been born since you're a baby oh her thighs since you're eight years old don't give it
too much since you're 12 look at them so it's nothing new you know to be sort of like in the
gaze of everybody else but i knew i was beautiful but i didn you know, to be sort of like in the gaze of everybody else.
But I knew I was beautiful, but I didn't know how to express it because no one allowed me to.
And now that I have the vocabulary and I've been highly therapized to be like, no, this is me.
This is my body is beautiful.
It's always for me, at least like not us that needs to catch up to the world.
It's the world that needs to catch up to us.
All right, we got more with Michelle Buteau, Tasha Smith, and Garcelle Bouvet.
They're on the new show, Survival of the Thickest on Netflix now.
We'll be back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's EJ and the Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now from the show, Survival of the Thickest on netflix we have michelle buteau tasha smith
and garcelle bouvet i was gonna ask you know with when you talk about maybe she shouldn't eat no
more i look at the thighs you know because i have six kids charlamagne has four for both of us have
four daughters but we also i always try to instill positive into my daughter so my mom knows that
so how were your parents when you were coming up you know it was a little bit of both you know like they really loved on me and supported me but then when we got in public it's
like let's straighten your hair let's cover your freckles we're going to church don't stand up like
that do this so like it was both and so i'm just like well which is it you know what i mean because
let's not play it safe my dad's from Haiti my mom's from Jamaica
they came over in the late 60s to look for a better
life can you imagine leaving everybody
you know that was amazing food growing
up
I know
that's good
jerk chicken oh my god
yes
that was amazing
you know what's so interesting is that like this show has also
inspired me to accept my beauty like listening to this conversation i feel like now at 52
i am just really starting to embrace my beauty and like for real like there was that glow i tell you but
bro i didn't like internally it may have been something that was external but i wasn't the
girl that walked away thinking oh i'm so fine you know what i mean like i always thought i was funny
i felt like funny could get me in the door i never led with like feeling like oh i'm leading with beauty or sexy or any of that
i would get goofy anytime somebody would be thinking that i was attractive because i had
this internal insecurity all the time and now that i'm older and now i'm at the 50s i don't give a
what y'all think okay you know what i mean like i really love myself like i feel like more confident
you know more clear about me about me as a woman i embrace my femininity you know and all of that
like but i feel better than i've ever felt like even outside just now i was like saying your legs
are so pretty talking to michelle she's like you know you saying, your legs are so pretty. Talking to Michelle.
She's like, you know, you should wear your legs or whatever.
I said, I have these varicose veins.
So I would never let my legs out because I had this thing about the varicose veins.
And so she, Garcelle's like, wear it.
You know, I said, you know what?
Next time y'all see me, these legs are going to be out. You know what I'm saying?
These legs.
You know what I'm saying? He's kinky. He's kinky. me these legs are gonna be out how's it been with you being on reality tv right yeah your actress
and you know people have known you for years but they didn't know the ins and outs of your life right your kids life it's so now everything is focused on you and your kids
i'm sure you have people trolling your kids popping up at your kids it's hard let me tell
you i mean the one thing about i mean my first scene i'll call it at home with the cameras uh
i was waiting for action and they were like no no no, no, no, just live your life.
Because that's what I was used to.
So now that people see a different side and they feel like a three-minute scene that they
see on Housewives, they got me.
And it's interesting because you're right.
I can't hide behind a character.
So now it's like, it's me, it's my kids.
And last year we went through this whole trolling of my son, Jax, which was horrible.
So you got to take the good for the bad, you know, and that's part of it.
Social media, people feel like they have.
Do you regret it at all?
Doing the show?
Especially with them trolling your kids.
That was the hardest part because those were my kids.
They didn't sign up for it.
I signed up for it.
But do I regret it?
No, I don't have a lot of regrets
because I feel like everything takes you
where you're supposed to be.
Now, everybody, of course,
knows Jamie Foxx has been popping up.
Have you spoke to Jamie at all?
I've been talking to Corinne and Dave Brown,
but not to Jamie.
But, you know, I love that man so much.
I don't know who those people are.
Corinne is his daughter.
Oh, okay.
His daughter and Dave Brown's
one of his best friends, always with him.
Gotcha.
So, you know, my prayers. He sent me prayer hands yesterday because of his best friends, always with him. Gotcha. So, you know, my prayers.
He sent me prayer hands yesterday because we were talking about him on the show and just
saying that, you know, who cares what social media or the public says.
Exactly.
He has to rehab on his own.
Exactly.
And when he wants to come out, he wants to come out.
And don't push him.
And don't push him.
Don't push him.
And he sent us prayer hands.
So I can't wait to see him back out working.
Me too.
I love that man so much.
I want to ask you something, Michelle.
In the first episode, your character breaks up.
Did you watch it? Well, the trailer in the first episode, your character breaks up. Did you watch it?
Well, the trailer
in the first episode.
Oh, okay.
That's honest.
I like the honesty.
Your character broke up
with a guy
because he called him cheating.
Yeah.
Would you do that in real life?
Like, you just would,
nobody, you don't think
people deserve a second chance?
It depends.
I put this in the show
because I have been cheated on
and most of the women in because I have been cheated on.
And most of the women in my family have been cheated on.
And so my definition of what it looks like to really start over, especially within yourself, is coming from a place of that, being cheated on.
And so, you know, it really depends.
Everybody thinks they know what they're going to do until they're in that situation.
And if you watch the rest of the series, and you don't have to watch it.
Just leave it on so I get the numbers. No more watching.
But, you know, we go back in that relationship and try to figure out whether it is something that they should really break up over.
Because you put a lot of time, you know six years your good years your childbearing years
right you've like named your unborn children already like your parents love each other and
they already see it for you you know what i mean like grandma already gave you her her engagement
ring just hoping so it's like it takes a long time to actually break up with somebody you know
even if you're not together and And so we explore that more in
the show. And Glossel, you said it depends?
It depends. It depends if it's a
mistake. We're human. We're going to make
mistakes. But if it's a lifestyle, that's a different
story. I mean, you got a whole other family.
If that's what you do,
then that's a problem.
Is it a mistake?
That's what I'm saying. If it's a
continual thing, if this is how you live your life, then that's a problem.
What about you, Ms. Smith?
Are you out?
Oh, see, I'm just a realist.
Okay.
I mean, I don't think, I think that when you get a certain age, I feel like you communicate and you have real conversations.
You know what I mean?
And if you or your spouse may have an attraction towards someone else, you can have the conversation to be able to talk about it.
Most of the time, women know the men they married or they're dating. So most of the time,
if someone is cheating, it's not that big of a surprise because you kind of know to me,
even if you want to look the other way you have an idea you have
a feeling in your spirit you know you don't wear that fragrance you know you don't smell like that
when he bring his ass home i know how i smell you know what i mean and i know what he wore when he
left out the house you know you have an idea you know and i feel it's an individual choice and a
decision and i feel that people an individual choice and a decision.
And I feel that people have the right to do what they choose in their relationship.
That's where I'm at.
You think some women think they can change a man when they marry?
I do.
I do.
I think they think they can.
Yeah.
But they can't.
And why would you even try?
Don't do that.
Like, no.
Like, if anything, you'd be better off having a conversation with them.
Or a job where you're actually getting paid for all that work.
And maybe just trying to understand what is the thing that inspires him to want to go out and do that.
Like, let's talk about that, because most of the time is something outside of I just want some.
I mean, at the end of the day, isn't pussy pussy? TK could probably talk.
No, let me stop.
No, but like at the end.
TK's like, we had so many jokes back in the day, okay?
But you could say it's ego.
But it's okay.
So then if it's ego, let's talk about the ego then.
But that's therapy.
Right?
And he has to be willing to do that. And I think most of the time, like, I think that we could blame it on the action, but not look at the heart and the core and the root. Right. As to why we're seeing the fruit of cheating all the time. You follow what I'm saying? And a lot of times people get upset and get angry instead of really sitting down and having a conversation.
And if the man was honest enough with himself to own it, if he really wants to do different and do better in the relationship, then he will go to therapy.
I believe in therapy.
I will not move.
We got more with Michelle Buteau, Tasha Smith and Garcelle Bouvet.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.

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 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 need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Listen to I Do Part 2 on the iHeartRadio app,

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy Charlemagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Michelle Boutot, Tasha Smith, and Garcelle Bouvet
from the show Survival of the Thickest on Netflix now.
Charlemagne? In the first episode
too though, you did break up with the guy but y'all worked together.
So that's a whole other dynamic.
You break up with a person
so professionally you do that.
Personally y'all done but professionally y'all still gotta
see him every day.
No, it's not. She chose something else
but see that's
the thing I want to explore. What does it look like when you
really intertwine your lives like that?
And I see a lot of people doing that on social media, whether it's a podcast or whatever.
It's just like, do you really want to connect yourself to this person like this?
Because when you break up, it's going to be very messy.
Also, don't you want something for your own?
And when one person becomes more successful and they have more choices like he did, you know, then it's going to be different.
But like Tasha was saying,
you have to talk about it. A lot of people
don't talk. They're just like, what's for dinner?
I had fish today, so let's have chicken tonight.
And there's so much more than that. And can I just say,
I mean, I just want to pour into these ladies for
two whole seconds. Because, you know, I'm just
a big fricking face that does jokes.
I'm just like happy to be here, right? I'm just happy to pay
my rent. I'm happy that my husband and I
still love each other. I'm happy that my husband and I still love each other.
I'm happy that my kids are healthy.
But for them to leave their homes and their own toilets and good beds.
And great bathrooms.
And grand pianos.
And freshly renovated homes.
Talk that to them. You know, to come and just hang with me and my crew.
And just do this silly little important important show and not even know.
And then like even just the allyship alone, because Tasha's character is named Marley and she is newly bisexual, fresh out of divorce, rich.
You know, just really kind of newly bisexual sound crazy.
And she has a little three.. I had to call my twin.
I was like, shit, what's this like?
Shout out to Cedric.
Shout out to Cedric.
No, because I've never kissed a girl before.
So I was like, how is it?
You've never kissed a girl?
You in Hollywood? I I never kissed a girl.
I mean, literally, I've never had a threesome.
So it was an experience.
I was like, this is different.
Okay.
I know.
In the scene, I was like, go, go, go.
Yeah.
If you could just move your hips more this way, we could definitely.
I was like, are we all going to kiss together?
Like, does it get messy when people really do threesomes?
Oh, triple kisses is too much.
Don't do that. much don't do that i
don't know i was just like i mean i think that's probably why i've never done one because it seems
so messy well also like if you're into producing well you're a good director you could do it but
listen yeah but what i want to say too is i'll direct the threesome You always have to. That's porn, Tasha. You always have to. That's porn.
I mean, it's art.
It's very, it's artful.
But, you know, Tasha posted a picture of her in an intimate scene with the girl that she's kissing.
And the homophobia was alive and well in the comment section.
Outrageous.
And still, like, alive and well.
I couldn't believe it.
I had to call and check in on her like are you okay
because now you're putting yourself out there in a way that i was like i'm used to but i'm like
it was so great you say it i mean are you kidding who made me the poster child for a straight woman
and most of these people that have had threesomes that i actually had right y'all out there living
your best life and i can't even act.
That's right.
What were they saying?
Like, oh, y'all pushing an agenda?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hollywood's agenda.
Yes.
We get that every morning.
Which I think is hilarious.
It's wild.
And I love telling her story.
Like, I mean, that's what I love about this show is that we have so many parts of life that we get a chance to talk about and this woman
that's in her 50s or 40s or however old marley okay but she's exploring her life and love and
relationship and i think it's a beautiful thing and i think she's very courageous and wonderful
and having a good time doing it and it's a whole lot of women out there that are
marley's and her story has the right to be told and i'm grateful that i get a chance to do that
as an actor i was directing so much i literally prayed i said i'm gonna start saying no to jobs
like directing jobs because i don't want to like my actor is starting to get
jealous right and then Michelle came it was like a dream it was a dream I wanted
to get back in front of the camera so bad I get to work with this Queen and I
get to tell Marley story I am just so blessed I don't know what to do people
love you the director though because they feel like you
not feel like you do
support so many other black people
so many other black people empower so many other black
people even behind the scenes so that's why they love you
as a director
I gotta ask about Bad Boys 4
about Bad Boys 4

I am thank you
yes we have and we are having a blast Is that I am, actually. I am. Thank you.
Yes, we have.
And we are having a blast.
A blast.
So are the writers going to act this crack?
Well, right now we're on hold a little bit.
But we have shot a lot.
We've shot a lot of the movie.
And it's fun.
That's why they're rushing for a promotion.

Rumor.
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?
Right.
On The Breakfast Club.
Now, last night was the 2023 ESPYs.
They did it out in L.A.
Did any of you guys watch it at all?
I just seen the clip.
Like I saw when Lebron won and um you
know savannah was up there with the daughter that was so cute i just saw that little clip
let's play that clip uh lebron james's wife uh was giving him an award and his whole family was
up there and she was talking about her bae as the espy's honor leBron for breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record, I decided I wanted to tell you what I think.
I think LeBron James is the baddest mother...
So cute.
That's on me.
I think LeBron James is the baddest to ever set foot on a basketball court.
Nobody works harder, Nobody cares more.
And nobody has done more for the game of basketball than LeBron James.
Let me tell you something, man.
Out of all of LeBron's accomplishments, out of all of the money he has,
his biggest flex is his beautiful black family.
His family.
That is the ultimate flex for a black man is to have a beautiful black family,
a beautiful black wife, you know, beautiful black kids, you know,
because black love is the revolution.
You already know.
And they've been together so long.
Which is so dope.
And she's so freaking beautiful.
So gorgeous. I love Savannah.
Now LeBron James also talks about will
he be returning to the NBA?
When the season ended, I said I wasn't
sure if I was going to keep playing. And I know a lot of
experts told you guys what I said, but I'm here now speaking for myself.
In that moment, I'm asking myself if I can still play without cheating the game.
Can I give everything to the game still?
Truth is, I've been asking myself this question at the end of the season for a couple years now.
I just never openly talked about it.
I don't care how many more points I score or what I can or cannot do on the floor.
The real question for me is,
can I play without cheating this game?
The day I can't give the game everything on the floor
is the day I'll be done.
Lucky for you guys, that day is not today.
All right.
They clapping and cheering like they really thought
LeBron James was going to retire.
No, he wasn't going to.
No, he was just trying to take attention away from the fact that the Nuggets swept him.
That's all.
Stop.
He's still the GOAT, though.
He's a GOAT.
He's not the GOAT.
Yeah, he's a GOAT.
He's not the GOAT.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Yes.
Jordan, but also LeBron, too.
For this generation, for sure.
He is a GOAT.
He is that.
He is a GOAT.
And this generation is up for discussion as well.
Because there's a little beige boy in Golden State named Steph Curry.
All right?
Who's got four rings and he's beaten LeBron James three times in NBA Finals.
Just want to put that out there.
I mean, he's fired as well.
Who has the most points in history?
This is a conversation.
It's LeBron James.
LeBron James.
Yeah, he just got it.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had the most points in history for years.
Ain't none of y'all ever said he was the GOAT.
I don't know nothing about sports.
What makes you the GOAT?
Just being the best,
like, well-rounded.
See, the thing about Kareem,
we're not going to have
this conversation now,
but the thing about Kareem is
we didn't actually get a chance
to really see Kareem play.
You know what I mean?
It wasn't really our generation,
so I'm sure my father's
probably like,
Kareem is the GOAT.
There's plenty of people
that say, yes, that is true.
All right, well,
we also got to talk about
Patrick Mahomes.
He won Best Athlete.
He spoke as well.
I remember growing up watching the ESPYs and seeing a lot of great athletes win awards.
And to be on this stage winning this award is a tremendous honor.
But it all wouldn't be possible without God.
So I want to thank him first.
I truly believe that.
It was an incredible season.
I appreciate my teammates, my coaches, the guys that I meet.
He's probably thanking both.
All that hard work.
I'm not in the building.
You are supporting me and making me the guy that I am, the man that I am.
So I want to thank them.
And finally, Chiefs Kingdom.
So this is a great award, but we're going to do this thing again.
We're going to keep this thing rolling.
Congratulations, Patrick Mahomes.
Who is that?
He just won the Super Bowl.
The quarterback. He's the quarterback. He's white? No, he's Patrick Mahomes. Who is that? He just won the Super Bowl. The quarterback.
He's the quarterback.
He's white?
No.
Biracial.
Oh.
He's black and white.
You do not watch sports.
Not at all.
He's white.
I'm like, is he cute?
What's his number?
He's black and white.
Because if he's fine, I probably know him.
I think he's married.
I think he's married.
I said if he was fine, I probably know him.
I ain't got nothing to do with Mary tonight.
And that's why I'm not going to discuss sports with y'all I don't know who these people is
Now we also got a salute to Jay-Z
He was nominated for an Emmy
For the Super Bowl halftime show
That was Rihanna of course
He put that thing together
So he's nominated for an Emmy
Some of the other people that are nominated
Kiki Palmer, Cheryl Lee Ralph, Dominique Fishback
Just a host of honors
Now this year's ceremony is going to
happen Monday
the 18th of September
at 8pm
I don't know what
they're going to do
as far as a host
because last night
the ESPYs didn't
have a host
because of the
strike in Hollywood
that'll be Jay-Z's
second Emmy
if they win
because Dr. Dre
and Snoop
them won
if I'm not mistaken
and that is
your rumor report
now Sheldon man
who you giving
that donkey to?
man you know this is our first week back from vacation, man.
And I wanted to do this donkey, but we were off.
But we need Google to come to the front of the congregation.
We need to have a word with them because they had a mix-up between Lufa Vandross and Master P.
And we need to discuss.
No.
We need to discuss.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Charlemagne, say the game. Don't get out of shape that next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Charlamagne say the game.
Don't get out of shape, man.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat.
It's the Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's Donkey of the Day today?
Well, Donkey of the Day for Thursday july 13th goes to google now this is our first week back from vacation so i wanted
to give google donkey of the day when i first saw this but we weren't here now let's be clear google
gets things wrong all the time okay especially when it comes to black people all right number
one the celebrity net worth just false completely fabricated any number you see i promise is
complete nonsense rubbish malarkey first of all uh all our net worths are priceless right you can't
put a dollar amount on any of god's creations and two i don't have that kind of money all right stop
but more so than that more so than the money what i worry about is there's a generation of people
who are really not going to know the true history of folks who have made significant contributions
to the arts because of google's misinformation and see when we were away there was a mix-up between master
p and lucy vandross anybody see that that's crazy when you search luther vandross on google
masterpiece picture came up i can't make this kind of stuff up let's listen to masterpiece thoughts on
it you don't have masterpiece thoughts okay jesus christ those were thoughts yeah no
oh well mix-ups like that are the reason black people are obligated i mean uh required okay i'm
talking we should be committed to not knowing who famous white people are all right i do it all the
time i act like i don't know the difference between taylor swift and ariana grande purposely
okay when you hear a classic throwback like Complicated by Avril Lavigne, you got to turn to a white person and say, man,
this is one of my favorite Britney Spears songs. OK, listen to me. You have to do it because,
you know, at some point they're going to disrespect us. I love acting like I don't
know who's in the Beatles. If a white person asked me who's in the Beatles, I say Elton John.
I say Sting. I say Paul McCartney. I say Machine Gun Kelly. I do it on purpose because if you don't
care enough to do your due diligence and get black legends correct,
then why should I act like I know what the hell is going on with white legends?
And that's word to the first president of the United States of America, George W. Bush.
Now, let me also say Jamie Foxx and Colin Firth, I believe his name is,
who I will not purposely mix up with Colin Farrell because I love what they're doing.
They, along with Sony Pictures, are doing a documentary on the legendary Luthor Vandross.
Drop on the clues bombs for Jamie Foxx and Colin Firth for doing that.
Because any word you use for great in regards to Luthor Vandross is an understatement.
So he deserves all his flowers.
I don't care what synonym you have for great.
You know, you can look in the thesaurus.
Don't matter if you're talking Big Luther or Skinny Luther. that man's voice is anointed okay dance with my father here and now
if only for one night phenomenal phenomenal tunes do we have the math for the audio yet
no still don't have well i agree with you i think all those white folk look alike
i look in the mirror sometimes i'm like am i me am me? Jesus. Am I Jeffree Star? Who am I? No, they say that to me.
I want to know.
You do look like Jeffree Star.
And I hate that people say that.
And it's not like that, but it's just like, yeah.
Y'all do not all look alike.
What if somebody told you you look like Young Jock or something?
You don't want to be told you look like a dude.
No, I'm just saying, what girl wants to be told they look like?
That is true.
You know what I mean?
The guy is cute.
But we do all look alike.
I agree.
But I will say, with all the praise
I just gave Luthor Vandross,
he ain't no Percy Miller.
Okay, Luthor Vandross
made close eye get to you,
but he ain't never made
make him say yeah.
Make him say yeah.
You see?
Luthor Vandross,
Luthor Vandross
made if this world was mine,
but he ain't never made
an ice cream man.
Oh my God.
Luthor made never too much,
but he ain't never made a no limit soldier. Y', my God. Luther made never too much, but he ain't never made a No Limit Soju.
Y'all stay disrespecting Percy Miller, and I'm sick of it.
Big Lufa Vandross ate a lot of cereal.
Master P owns his own cereal.
Okay, there's differences.
There's levels.
Let's talk about it.
And I got $100 in somebody's cash app right now if they can get me an AI version of Master
P singing Lufa Vandross, Power of Love.
And I got another $100 if you can get me an AI version of Lufa Vandross singing I Miss My Homies.
That's the only way to settle this.
Okay, the moral of the story is there's never a reason to not know who Master P is.
And there's never a reason to not know who Lufa Vandross is,
especially when your Google and your alleged mission is to organize the world's information
and make it universally accessible and useful.
Okay, when a search is supposed to make it easy to discover a broad range of information from a wide
variety of sources that is what google is supposed to do i don't know who they source to see what
lufa vandross looks like but that source got our beautiful black musical culture effed up
please let ramima give google the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
That's right.
I love her.
I love Remy.
How can you not?
And who's in the Beatles?
Elton John,
Sting,
Paul McCartney,
and Machine Gun Kelly.
Okay.
You forgot Ringo.
Who is that?
The one who got
forgotten, I think. Like the Ringo Starr, they're always like, that's the one who... Ringo is Who is that? The one who got forgotten, I think.
The Ringo Starr, they're always like, that's the one who...
Ringo is Bluey's sister.
Who?
You don't know who Bluey is?
Wow.
I really don't know white history.
Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue?
Oh.
Bluey.
Oh, I don't know.
Mom!
You ain't got no kids.
You be lying.
Oh, Bluey's clues?
Bluey's clues?
I'm lost.
Wow.
Now you're getting the white dolls mixed up.
Blue's Clues and Blue, you're not the same person.
Okay?
Baby Shark? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Cocoa Melon?
Gracie's Corner? Yeah.
Y'all need to be playing Gracie's Corner.
Gracie's Corner? I don't know what that is.
What?
It's a black Y'all need to be playing Gracie's Corner. Gracie's Corner. I don't know what that is. What? I can do what it says.
Gracie's Corner.
It's a black girl that does all the alphabets
and stuff.
I know Tabitha.
Tabitha Brown?
Yep.
Yeah.
Gracie's Seven.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, thank you for that
donkey of the day.
BET.
Say peace to BET.
BET, we'll see you tomorrow.
Y'all don't want to say
goodbye to BET?
Oh, bye, y'all. Thank y'all for having us. Bye, BET. BET, we'll see you tomorrow. Y'all don't want to say goodbye to BET? Oh, bye, y'all.
Thank y'all for having us.
Bye, BET.
All right.
Everybody else, 800-585-1051.
We were talking earlier about Keke Palmer's boyfriend and him expressing his feelings, right?
We want to open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
He expressed his feelings.
People made fun of him.
They said he was too sensitive.
They said that he was acting like a sucker and all these other things.
So we want to ask.
I think he's wrong.
There's a certain way to articulate your feelings, whether you're male or female.
But I think there has to be emotional intelligence and maturity, too.
You're right.
And this is why we're going to have this conversation, because I want to know, is it even worth it for men to express their feelings publicly?
Because everything you're saying, B. Simone, is right. but how come we can't have that conversation? Why do people just
automatically go to oh he's insecure
he's a sucker. I don't think that's right either
they shouldn't have attacked him. Let him communicate
his feelings and if he didn't communicate his feelings
right then let's show him how to communicate
his feelings. I agree. Well let's talk
about it when we come back. 800-585-1051
we'll take your calls as well as
The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
If you're just joining us, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Wild N' Out.
You could take your headphones off, guys.
You could take your headphones off.
I'm sorry.
We should have told you that.
We're listening to something like, we're like, no headphones.
We're kind of music.
Yeah,
it's our first day.
We're celebrating
the 20th anniversary
of Wildin' Out
and we have B. Simone
and Justina Valentine.
We are this morning
and we're asking
800-585-1051.
Can men show weakness?
Can they show vulnerability?
Can they be
open and free
with their feelings
without making like a sucker?
A whim can, but is it worth it?
It's probably not. It is worth it
if you do it the right way
talk to us. You can't do it on
first of all the internet is never
going to be a place where hundreds
and thousands of people aren't going to attack
somebody and have opinions. That's right.
So at the end of the day if I'm putting something on the
internet I have to know that that's going to happen.
Yeah and you have to be fine with it but i know one thing for sure and two things for certain
my man better let me bust it open on drake or whomever like and he better not say nothing about
my outfit forget usher i want drake i mean my man better let me bust it open on future yeah like i
mean why do y'all think a man should just be okay with that i love you you're my woman if i've
committed to you in that way like say like say
we're married uh you know you we got children together why can't my feelings be hurt if i see
you busting it open on anybody i think it can be if she's not like in the entertainment space but
again kiki is an entertainer she has eyes on her this is why usher picked her out of the crowd to
dance with her because she is who she is so that's why i think she gets a free pass but she has a man though too she has a baby she's in a relationship with
she didn't bang them she just like but y'all do know that it's all entertainment thing is not a
valid excuse and guess what well then i need you know we in this industry we used to take our
we were told not to wear our wedding rings and then act like we weren't married back in the day
yeah back in the day yeah don't you think that wouldn't hurt a wife's feelings?
Of course.
If he really was upset about that,
that's something you should know about your partner
before you get in front of Usher.
That's true.
I want to take it out of the Usher and Kiki thing.
I just want to say, man, we got so many men in therapy,
so many men doing the work,
but men always get so much flack for not expressing their emotions,
not expressing their feelings.
But when they do, they get called insecure, suckers and punks and you know he's not on her
level he's jealous of her success how about some men are just in love and trying to figure it out
yeah but they be jealous though too especially like no i'm just saying like it could it could
be and it could be a little bit of both it could be a little bit of um jealousness and a little
bit because you love her to be a little jealous of jealousness and a little bit because you love her. And I want my man to be a little jealous of me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know that.
I'm in love
and my feelings hurt
because you busting it
open on somebody else.
See, but the thing is
if you guys had men
and you broke up
with your man
and you put on Instagram
or social media
I broke up with my man
I'm not feeling good
it's not right
y'all wouldn't get
hateful comments.
You would get a lot
of people supporting you.
That's true.
It's all good.
It's going to be okay, girl.
It's going to be okay.
You'll get through it.
Now, if me and Charlamagne put on there I just just broke up with my girl like man man up you're gonna go
to a client and we know it's double standards for everything but when women express their emotions
and feelings we're told we should listen regardless of where they express them but when men do it we
we suckers and we insecure that's not right man and y'all gonna make it the way men aren't gonna
want to express their emotions publicly and that's dangerous because men expressing themselves publicly is
how other men will learn how to publicly express their emotions even look at look my situation in
my book i wrote a book about me and my wife's relationship we've been together 29 years 30
years and i talked about in early on i couldn't make her orgasm i didn't know we were 16 and 15
there were memes they made fun of me but it was me expressing how i was now if I was a very sensitive person which I am I would be like when I write the next one
like I put nothing else out there because me trying to express myself open
the door because there was so many men they let's be clear let's go the same
way and I went through the same thing yeah I was scared to say what he's
trying to get sympathy right now nobody shamed him because he expressed his
feelings and emotions we shamed him because he ain't know how to work the
middle yeah that's why we were saying it's the same shame right aamed him because he didn't know how to work the middle. That's why we were shaming him. It's the same shame.
Well, it's a lot of guys who probably don't know how to work it.
And 15.
And 16.
That's what we were shaming you for.
But if you don't know, you can't fix it.
You didn't know, right?
Exactly.
It was 16 when I was 16 years old.
She was at least faking it.
Huh?
She was at least faking it, right?
Yeah.
That's how it came out.
So it was 16, but I used to watch porn,
so I thought sex was bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, done.
For sure.
But you had to learn.
There was nobody to tell me or teach me.
So, yes, I did it so people could learn and have those conversations and make fun of me.
First of all, everybody read that book and was like, I've been making women orgasm.
Okay, you the one that ain't doing your job.
See, make it fun of me.
Well, God bless your wife.
I had my first orgasm this year, so you ain't the only one that ain't doing nothing in the bedroom.
I'm 33 and had my first orgasm this year.
Yeah, that's crazy, B.
But you weren't having sex with one person for 10 years. Yeah. You know what I'm 33 and had my first orgasm this year. Yeah, that's crazy, B. But you weren't having sex
with one person for 10 years.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
She was having an orgasm with my mouth,
not with my penis.
That's the thing.
Oh, that's it.
I was going to say,
she really loved you, though,
because she stood by your side
with no orgasms from sex
and wanted to make you feel good
like she was.
So she, you know.
But that's the problem, too.
Ladies, ladies, you got to speak up.
I feel good. No, it's true. She's she's a real writer you gotta speak up it's not the
man's fault if you don't know if you ain't telling him nothing
he keep telling this lie about how he was making her do it with his mouth i did
she was peeing on you bro she was peeing all in your face I am not clowning.
I love the fact that you express your feelings.
No, you don't.
This has nothing to do with you expressing your feelings.
You did not make your woman orgasm for 10 years.
That's what we're talking about.
We're not talking about you expressing your feelings.
That's you, Dan.
No, I'm not.
That's me expressing my feelings.
I'm not once if I said you wrong for expressing your feelings. I'm saying you wrong for not making her orgasm for 10 years. Let's your dad. No, I'm not. That's me expressing my feelings. I'm not one to have said you wrong for expressing your feelings.
I'm saying you wrong for not making
her orgasm for 10 years.
So wait.
The first time she actually really orgasm
was she like, oh my gosh, babe, I've been lying for a decade.
Like, did she bug out?
Like, what was that like?
10 years of lying.
Right.
Justina?
It's in the book.
Oh, let me read the book.
It's in the book.
OK, period.
The moral of the story is we got to stop shaming men for expressing themselves. After you just shamed me. No, man. The moral of the book. Oh, let me read the book. It's in the book. Okay, period. The moral of the story is we got to stop shaming men for expressing themselves.
After you just shamed me.
No, man.
The moral of the story.
We made so much toxic behavior public.
We have to make the positive healing behavior public, too.
And y'all going to make it the way men feel like it's not worth it to express themselves
because of how y'all react to them.
And guess what?
More men step up.
There should be more men on the internet really supporting this brother in this time, if that's
what y'all believe.
I do.
We all are. We get shamed for that like against our cheese i'm not i don't care what outfit she wears
yeah i don't care about any of that i care about man this man if his feelings are hurt he should
be able to express what's up brother what's your thoughts man um that's just how this world is man they expect the man to shut up be quiet
produce don't have no feelings don't show no hurt i work in the criminal courts right now there's a
case a brother was losing custody of his child and let's just say right now you got to do 18 years
in prison because nobody would listen to him you know nobody expects oh why is a man you got to do 18 years in prison because nobody would listen to him. Nobody expects,
oh, why is a man you want to see your child so much?
He ended up doing violence to the young lady?
Exactly.
Lord.
So, there's no avenues for us.
He was calling his friend every night crying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But nobody else would listen to him.
No, I get it. This man was in a lot of pain. They just yeah, yeah, yeah. But nobody else would listen to him. No, I get it.
This man was in a lot of pain.
And they just wanted him
to shut up.
Imagine seeing a woman
on stage dressed like that.
I don't care about the outfit.
Or you could do something
inappropriate.
What's the man supposed to do?
React after he told it
or come out dressed like that.
He told her?
Well, I don't know
if he told her.
I mean, but this is...
I don't know.
We're going to.
I don't know what to say. This is also Kiki Palmer, a very famous, very talented entertainer.
She's not just, you know, someone who went out that night to go, like, get a freak on with guys.
Like, she is who she is.
I think we're forgetting that point.
That's a very important point.
I don't think we're forgetting it at all.
That's what he was expressing in that interview.
He was saying how he always felt he had the need to be perfect
because she's Keke Palmer.
He felt that she would always be perfect.
Let me ask you a question.
All the allowances that men are afforded
who are famous, who are lit,
are females not afforded those
the same allowances?
Men that have
a long list of options
and are famous, I feel like they get away with a lot more than just a normal doer.
If they're in a relationship, they should.
I don't think they should.
See, the problem was, I don't necessarily think the problem was what happened.
I think it was this, the phone, right?
That's it.
If you think about it, men go to a strip club, they get lap dances.
Nobody knows.
Nobody sees.
But now imagine your man, there's a video of your man getting a crazy lap dance in a strip club.
Now the world sees you feeling bad.
Ooh, snail trail.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Snail trail.
Yeah.
When that fudge leaves a little line.
Okay.
You'd be mad because you've been publicly embarrassed.
Correct.
Yes.
That's all it is.
So it's really not about, it's really, you don't want people to know.
Because it's really, you want to do everything behind closed doors and you don't want the internet to know.
Yeah, I don't think, I just think you shouldn't publicly embarrass your significant other.
I think they're more publicly embarrassing.
But why is it not embarrassing if it's behind closed doors, but it's only embarrassing if people see it, if it's truly who you are?
I think it's, what do you mean when you say behind closed doors?
Like you said, if there's no cameras out and you could do it.
Oh, because then y'all two can have a conversation.
Yeah, it's easy to work it out.
It's like if you and your man get in an argument at home, it's different. But now if you're in public,
it's a lot different
because now people don't know
what you're arguing about.
It's pressing now.
You might feel a certain way.
Things that you might have
forgave him for at home,
you might not forgive him for
if it's in the public.
And that's what the young man
was wrong for.
The young man was wrong for...
She was wrong for publicly
embarrassing him with us.
He was wrong for publicly
embarrassing her on social media.
They could have just had
a conversation about each other
at home and nobody
would have been the wiser.
Let's take some more calls.
800-585-1051.
Call in.
Let us know what you think.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You should be able to express the...
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory. What could go wrong?
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Bailin'!
Bailin' everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
You know, it's the 20th anniversary
or the 20th season of Wildin' Out.
And we have Justina Valentine and B. Simone here.
And if you're just joining us,
we're talking about men being able to express their feelings.
And why when a man expresses his feelings,
he's a sucker, he's a simp, he's a wimp.
But when women do it, they get so much support.
And I know you were about to say something,
Justina.
I was going to say,
did I not see the full clip?
Because the clip I saw
was not that crazy.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, if she had been bent over
and Usher was just,
you know,
pulling her hair
and just like,
you know,
slamming her,
I'd be like,
okay, it was a little crazy.
But the clip I saw
was not crazy at all.
I will say this though, like, as a man, a little crazy. But the clip I saw was not crazy at all.
I will say this, though.
Like, as a man, what you just said
is probably what he saw in his mind.
Right.
You see what I'm saying?
That's what it translated to.
That's what you did.
That's your wife, your girl, your baby mother.
That's what you seen.
You didn't just see a little dance.
You seen us abandoning her over.
You saw the past.
Yeah, that's what you seen.
And also, by the way,
what's wrong with being insecure?
And what's wrong with me
expressing that I'm insecure?
Nothing.
Because the insecurity
is going to express
whether I say I'm insecure or not.
You're going to tell about my behavior.
You're going to tell about
certain language I use.
All I'm saying is
you got to let men be able
to express these emotions
because if you don't,
they're going to keep them
pent up inside.
And we've all seen
what that leads to.
That don't mean nothing
but toxic masculinity.
My thing is express it,
but then what is the solution?
Like if I'm insecure,
we need to figure out
how to get work on that.
Conversation with each other.
Therapy.
But I think people
just want to vent and express
and let's get to the root of it though.
We have to heal it and fix it.
But the whole thing is
in a lot of relationships,
people,
they argue to win, right?
And not argue to be on the same side.
Not argue to resolve.
I don't want to argue to win.
I want to argue to resolve.
We need to resolve.
Let's resolve. There's no winner. If you win, I lose. There shouldn't be on the same side. Not argue to resolve. I don't want to argue to win. I want to argue to resolve. We need to resolve. Let's resolve.
There's no winner.
If you win, I lose.
There shouldn't be a winner or loser.
Let's resolve this situation and move on.
Simple as that.
Well, we have Charlina on the phone.
Yes.
Hey, how you doing?
Are you named after Charlemagne, the God?
No.
I'm just joking.
I'm just joking, Charlina.
What do you think?
What's your thoughts?
Okay, well, I feel like her baby father was very insecure about the whole scenario.
I mean, if anything, he should have been uplifting her and proud of his woman
because of how she's good, how she's carrying herself, she's healthy, she's living.
And she just had their baby.
I don't understand why he had to broadcast it.
We're missing the whole point of the conversation.
The whole point of the conversation is,
should men be able to express their feelings publicly without being shamed?
Well, he didn't express his feelings.
He expressed his insecurities.
That is his feelings.
My God.
A man's insecurities aren't even considered feelings anymore?
God, that was an insecurity shot of me.
Seriously.
Men can't be insecure.
We can't reserve the right to be insecure.
You know what?
You can be insecure, but not at the expense of putting your woman down.
So if he would have just said, my woman dancing with Usher made me very insecure because of, you know, his legendary sex habits.
But he kind of.
He's the guy who ripped a part on the internet.
You're a mom.
Your ass is out.
Yeah. a mom yeah but he kind of ripped apart on the internet you're a mom your ass is out yeah and
like and if she's really not cheating on him at all which i don't think she is it's like you also
have to give her that grace like you know what life she's living she's coming home to you and
she just had a baby looks damn good like but you hear what y'all just said and that's what i keep
kind of trying to stress that is the conversation that should have been had we know it was misplaced
aggression correct right no he didn't care about
the mom thing and the outfit. We know
his feelings was hurt. Why not teach that brother how to
properly express his emotions?
That's what I'm saying. The solution, therapy,
somebody, a professional to talk to, this,
that, like, if you go to relationship
counseling, y'all need to sit down, whatever,
you know, but get to the solution.
Don't just keep arguing
about it. TJ! Yo! What's up, brother? What's your thoughts, man? Man, so my thoughts is you should but get to the solution don't just keep arguing about it tj yo what's up brother what's
your thoughts man man uh so my thoughts is you should be able to express how you feel i mean
you know we say you know mental health is awareness but you should be able to say if i don't if you
don't like something straight up uh i mean you you keeping all that bottled up as a man next
you know you lash out on your kid or you lash out on your wife. That's right.
That's how that works.
It just ain't healthy.
It ain't.
I'm raising a young son right now.
He's turning five.
He didn't fuck.
One thing I'm always telling him is, hey, use your voice.
If you don't like something, say it.
That's right.
Okay.
Because the reality is we're going to get there.
Meaning that if you use your voice, even if you don't say what you really mean, like you
said before, we're going to get to the root.
That's all we're trying to do is get to the root to heal the problem all right well
we got a moral of the story the moral of the story is men should be able to express their emotions
and feelings without uh being shameful simple as that and women should be able to hoe it up
as long as they're not really like a hoe as long as it's just innocent hoeing it's a difference
thing is innocent hoeing especially if you're in a relationship it was innocent hoeing. It's a difference. No such thing as innocent hoeing. Especially if you're in a relationship.
It was innocent hoeing when she did it. And it wasn't even hoeing.
I'm on Kiki's side.
You know what?
No, that's the kind of crazy stuff men used to say to their women for years.
It was just innocent hoeing.
I mean.
I was just fucking them girls.
I was going to get right back.
What?
All right.
It's 2023.
When we come back, we got your rumor report.

This is the latest episode of The J.C. Lee Show.
And this is what she said.
I don't know about dating advice, but if you want to date somebody that's a celebrity.
That's dating advice.
He said if you want to date somebody that's a celebrity and you haven't met them yet and you can't get their number and get

said if you want to shoot your shot at a celebrity but i think for that to work both parties have to
be celebrities yeah i feel like that worked for you, B. Simone. Yeah. Put her away.
I feel like there was a time you used to do that over the baby.
You did.
Oh, yeah.
I manifested that.
And it worked.
It worked.
I mean, we're not dating, but we're platonic friends.
No, but he came out walling out.
You came out in a wedding dress.
Yeah, I came out in a wedding dress.
You know, it was just a little marketing thing.
So who would you want it to really, really work for?
It's like being asked.
Like, Trina.
Y'all hear that in the background?
I don't know.
You got to set me up with somebody, Charlamagne.
But what do you want?
Like a sports player?
A rapper?
What are we talking about?
Not necessarily any of that.
A lawyer?
Somebody that's loyal.
Now, behind the scenes, B-Symoné said she wanted a blind date.
Justina, what'd you say?
I said, so do you want the guy to be blind?
And I said, I can't say I don't want to date a blind man.
Because here you go, bash Bissamon.
She don't want a blind man. She don't want a nine-to-five.
Yeah, definitely won't see eye-to-eye, that's for sure.
No, I do not want to date a blind man.
I heard it, but I was walking by
and I heard her say, you want to date a blind guy?
But I didn't know it came from, I wanted a blind date.
I said, I want a blind date.
She said, well, could the guy be blind? I said said no so so who should we put you in a picture you said
someone who's gonna be loyal so probably the rappers and the ballplayers are out who else
why I gotta be rapping the ballplayers there's so many men out there
I want him to have married friends I want him to want to be married I want him in a relationship
phase oh you want him to be married no married friends want to be married. I want him in a relationship phase. You want him to be married? No, married friends.
I want him to want to be married.
But you don't want 9 to 5.
So I'm just thinking.
I would like a guy that's an entrepreneur.
Somewhere close in the vicinity of what I do.
He doesn't have to be like the face, but you know,
real estate, industry,
business owner. What if he's just stable?
What if he has a nice everyday
working class job and he's just stable
great benefits
no it has nothing to do
with financial freedom
I just would love for

the same lifestyle

Do you guys have any friends that are good for her?
Yeah. I stay away from
her. I don't want to be
responsible.
The only time you get props for it
is when it works out.
I don't hook
none of my homegirls up with nobody. Do your own dirt.
Give me your Instagram just in case.
The B Simone T-H-E
B-S-I-M-O-N-E

that is your rumor report
we got more with
Justina Valentine
and B Simone
when we come back it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with B. Simone and Justina Valentine.
Of course, they're here for the 20th season of Wildin' Out.
That's right.
Let's hurry this up because B. Simone has to poop.
Yeah, badly.
B. Simone been holding her poop for 30 minutes.
I'm sick.
Start a slow gas leak over here.
I thought Charlamagne and I give a lot of our lives, but you give a lot of your life.
No, she always has.
I do.
I try to, you know, scale it back.
This last episode of my podcast, we were talking about like things you do in private.
Like if I was really my full self, not even me, but humans, if we really are 100% full
self, it's like I would probably be single forever.
They jumped on you about the shower stuff.
Yes, they did.
She showered this morning, y'all.
No, I didn't.
Oh, my goodness.
I've been showering.
I showered yesterday,
last night,
before I went to bed.
Has that affected your dating?
No, I wasn't dating before.
I still ain't dating now.
I don't date.
These men don't,
excuse me,
these men don't care.
But you shower now daily,
once a day.
Why you say that? Like morning or night. I don't care. But you shower now daily? Once a day? Why are you saying that?
Like morning or night.
I don't care which one you do.
If I shower at night, I am not taking a shower the next morning.
But you shower at night.
You don't sweat when you sleep?
I sweat when I sleep.
I don't wake up dirty.
I don't know what y'all got going on.
I take my shower at night.
I learned that as a child.
You shower at night so you get up ready for school and you go on to school.
And it's like a reset though.
I do that with my kids too.
I take a shower at night. I'm a dog. But you shower after you to school and it's like a reset i do that with my kids too i didn't shower tonight but you shower after you poop no i do not shower
after every time i'm about to go poop right now i'm not about to just hop in your shower i have
butt wipes so for you you should get somebody deaf so they don't have to hear this someone
who never recovered from code is everybody in my dms like yeah me too i'm like well go say that
on the shade room because y'all acting like y'all shower four times a day.
I don't do all that.
It's 102 degrees in New York today.
I don't shower four times a day.
I don't do that.
So if that's what you need, that ain't going to be me.
Well, once a day I think is required.
And then twice a day if you hit the gym at night and you showered in the morning or did something where you got dirty or walked around the city all day.
Yeah, if I wake up and I'm not leaving the house and I have an off day and I'm in the
bed and I'm eating soup, I'm not going to wake up, shower, and get back in the bed.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that.
And you said that the reason you didn't go poop 20 minutes ago is because you said it
takes you a long time to poop.
I took her out of it because she has tight pants on.
That's what I'm saying.
That outfit too nice to poop in.
I'm about to go poop.
And then you're just going to walk around all day looking cute.
So you want me to go poop, go take a shower,
and then go poop?
Go back to the hotel?
Every time you poop, you take a shower, Envy?
If I go out, yes.
What do you mean if you go out?
Meaning if I poop in the house, I might say,
alright, well, I'll be cool. I'll just wipe my ass, keep it moving if I'm in the house.
But if I leave, I have to...
I've been late to work because I had to poop in the morning and I got to double back and take a shower.
You're too pretty for mud butt.
Every time you poop, you shower.
No.
Okay.
So y'all don't be twisting my words now.
If I'm going to be out.
What if a gentleman just wants to eat your butt and then you got to think about it?
I was just thinking that.
What are you thinking that?
Because you never know when it's going to happen.
No, what if something pop off tonight?
Nothing's going to pop off tonight.
Looking good.
You took a poop up at the breakfast club.
No, nothing's going to pop off tonight.
You might meet Mr. Right and he might want to take a bite.
And he ain't going to be down.
He's not going to do that.
No?
I know that.
She said, I know that.
I know that for sure.
Well, once he go down there and he smell you in the shower.
What I'm saying is I'm clean.
That's all y'all need to know.
I do not take four showers a day.
I don't do that.
I will never do that.
I'm not taking a shower every hour.
I'm not doing that.
Tell him you washed in the blood of the Lord.
In the blood of the Lord.
In the blood of the Lamb.
No, you smell good today.
I know I do.
But I'm a little stuffed up, so I really don't know for real.
I'm just trying to look my girl out.
I don't know what she smell like.
I smell great.
All right.
When we come back, we got the positive note.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's D.E.J. Envy back, we got the positive note. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
B. Simone, Justina, Valentinas.
Y'all.
Oh, yeah.
We appreciate you guys for joining us this morning.
Thank you for having us.
It was so fun.
Did you have that in your stand-up?
What?
The shower.
I'm going to talk about it tomorrow.
I ain't been on stage since all that stuff happened.
Oh, got you.
Got you.
Oh, that's nice.
That was my first day back in seven months back on the road.
Tell me, Charlamagne made me cry today.
I didn't really shed a tear, but my eyes got really watery.
Wow, what did he say?
Just motivating me, talking about like, because I was nervous about stand-up.
I was just telling her to talk about her life.
You know what I mean?
You can never lose being your true authentic self.
Because I'm so nervous to get on stage because I'm so different than who I was on stage seven months ago.
So it's like, you know, you want your truth to be, as a stand-up comedian, you talk about your truth.
I'm trying to figure out
how to make my truth funny.
As long as you shower,
you don't have nothing
to be nervous about.
Well, I didn't shower.
I think the main reason
people love you
is because you are so truthful.
Yeah.
People can relate.
People can make fun
like we talked about earlier,
but there are people
that can relate to everything
that's going on with your life.
Good, bad, or ugly,
whatever it may be.
That's the best thing about it
and it's going to be the phase
where people be like
oh man she's boring now
I don't like her
she done lost her edge
they'll be okay
yeah
they'll be fine
yeah
they'll be fine
can I ask you a question though
you mean
yeah
were you dodging our show
because we've been on
for a long time
and you never came up here
y'all never invited me
to the breakfast club
and I am one of the
when I seen you out
I said oh you coming up here black women comedians to make a statement on the internet and i have never been invited to
the breakfast when i seen you i've seen y'all i was like you gotta come up thing that you just
say just not a statement but i'm one of the first black millennials to like the first wave of female comedian entrepreneurs that come from
social media like i you know take pride in that you well me jess vina yeah you know absolutely
right and that have taken it off of the internet and built our brands outside of just social media
and been on the road and entrepreneurship and started businesses and people ask all the time
and i was like,
hey, I wonder why I be someone else.
I'm so glad to be here now, though.
Timing is everything.
I'm glad I'm here now.
Well, you have a friend up here.
We have friends up here now.
When you need to come up here,
you can come up here.
Not just to promote your business.
You in town, pull up.
Yeah.
I mean, I never got invited,
but I figured white people
are looking like,
you probably wanted me,
but invited Miley.
And so like my invitation
probably just got lost.
Like it was the big deal.
You know. You haven't been up here either, Jessica? No. I've probably just got lost. Like, it was the big deal. You know.
You haven't been up here
either, Jessica?
No.
I've never been up here.
Neither one of us
have ever been.
But we're glad to be here today
and we appreciate y'all
showing us love.
Did you just say?
I'm the first black woman
comedian to make a statement
on the internet.
No.
Like, what?
Tiffany Haddish was like,
huh?

the host of a brand new history podcast
for kids and families called
Historical Records.
Executive produced by Questlove,
The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
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

app, Apple Podcasts,
