And the traffic, if you're in the tri-state, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, it's still crazy. The UN is still in town. The president is still here. I'm starting to see a lot of those Cadillacs and those Escalades leaving. You know, yesterday was funny. You see a lot of streetwalkers around now, but you realize it's because a lot of these foreign officials are in town,

and I guess they're hiring the street workers because you see a lot of them in the morning when I'm pulling up in the morning. We're talking about what's going on in New York right now because we're nationally syndicated. I know people in Texas and Florida are like, what the hell are they talking about the UN's in town? People don't hear everything. They miss things.

The president's in town. In Miami? No, in New York. People are in town, the UN's in town to talk about world issues. They talk about economic growth. They're talking about... Man, they smoking weed. They're not smoking... And doing coke.

They're not doing coke. That's all they're doing. They're doing a lot more. They're supposed to be better in the environment. Man, they smoking weed and doing coke, man. Some hookers. There's a lot going on. And that too.

Okay? And that too. That's what they doing. And that too. That's a party. Jesus Christ. That's their festival. That's their festival? This is a world leader fest. That's all they're doing. That's a party. That's their festival.

It's a world leader fest. That's all it is. We look forward to this every year. When we come back, we got front page news. Tezlin Figaro will be joining us in Don't Move. It's Raji P. Henson will be joining us next hour. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God and Breakfast Club family. Now let's discuss. Let's jump right into it. If you strike, you will be fired. What are we talking about now? Well, I hope that's not the case, but that is what Senator Tim Scott is certainly suggesting. Republican presidential candidate Senator Tim Scott delivered an apparent call to fire the United Auto Workers who are currently on strike over the dispute with auto manufacturers. Monday, the South Carolina senator held a town hall in Fort Dodge, Iowa, where he was asked if he was president, would he involve himself in the current labor talks? Let's listen to what he said that sounds ridiculous is that legal what to fire somebody he's going by what um what ronald

reagan suggested you know so you can suggest something and not necessarily say you know that it would happen or not but uh ronald reagan uh when he uh was president they he fired more than 11 000 members not him particularly but what happened when he called for that firing more than 11 000 members of the professional air traffic controllers association in 1980 81 they were fired for protesting uh improved wages and shorter hours so yeah when people go on strike you can absolutely replace their positions now um he was talking about he also made a statement previous to this saying that we're seeing the united auto workers fight uh for more benefits in less working hours uh we need to have more pay in fewer days on they want more pay in fewer days on the job he said it's a disconnect from

work and we have to find a way to encourage people to want to get back to work so that's tim scott's answer to that well you encourage them by doing it right by them and i just think i think ronald reagan and uh you know my south Carolina brethren, Tim Scott, sound ridiculous. That's foolishness. We all need gainful employment. We understand folks is out of work, but would you really want to work for a company that would fire you for striking, fire you for demanding more and wanting more, especially if you deserve more? Whether you agree with them striking, you should agree with their right to strike. But I also thought that was the whole purpose of a union, that the union would get together and make sure that you are safe if you have to strike if you have to ask for

more so even in a union that if you strike you could be fired well yeah i mean again you're taking a risk when you go to strike that's why a lot of people don't want to go to strike one you get reduced pay like we talked about the other day um some of the workers are only getting 500 a week and you can't risk losing your job. And when we talked about that the other day, especially now that we see A.I. is coming into place, you can actually be replaced. But I just want to remind the good senator on what was happening with black people in 1981. Black Americans, their unemployment rate was about 14 percent during that time. There's always this confusion on the Reagan years and how the Reagan years was such a good time,

but wasn't a good time for black people. you are right when it comes to the Union how it benefits everybody but particularly black people because that collective bargaining power is helpful it helps reduce wage gaps particularly when you see wage gaps with people of color particularly black people job security to your point a DJ and be access to training development advocacy for civil rights and political advocacy and so much more uh with uh why unions are important and it supports affirmative action a lot of the things that um tim scott is obviously against i'm really disappointed uh with him with this you know he sounds like he's never been a worker right you

know because you get people back to work by doing right by the workers all folks want is fairness the company wants to do what's fair for them workers want what's fair for them let's meet in the middle that's all this is well not only that you know when when you're happier at work you're going to be more productive right that's right because you're happy to be there you want to be there you want to work but if you're not happy you feel like you're taking advantage of you're not going to work that's that's absolutely true and you know i think that's really going to backfire before we wrap up you know i was a a worker a blue collar type state you know so i don't think that's gonna land too well with the voters that he was trying to impress uh you know with saying

hey you want more for you on your job just lose your job you literally just told majority of americans i'll fire you if you want more you should be fired if you want more you should be fired if you demand more from your place of employment. Crazy. Right. All right. Well, that is front page news. Tez, we'll see you in a couple of minutes.

Makes sense to me. Sounds right to me.

Exactly. We're asking for a 20% raise. That's only $8. You know, if it was an $8 raise, you know, we deserve it. I mean, I don't know all the numbers, but it don't sound like that's going to hurt them at all. Not at all. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone

lines are wide open. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Keep calling. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is DJ Echo

from the 757. Echo. What up, Echo? Get it off your chest. Man, that comment about 10 Scott made, that's scary for America. I think he needs to go play in traffic. Damn. Yeah. Tell us more, Echo. I'm in a union.

I'm in an elevator union. And when you look at the wages and the benefits for people that's not in a union, it's half different. Like, it's half different. Like, the pay is different. The benefits are nowhere near the same. And people use non-union labor because it's so cheap. And I think it just hurts the economy. You take money out of the economy when you take money out of the people's pockets.

Yeah, and I mean, to me, this is just another example of folks letting us know they don't want us to have any real rights You know what I mean? Because the reality is if you don't want folks to strike You know what I mean? Like stay in your place. Don't ever ask for more. Don't ever demand more Take what we give you and be happy about it. Nah That's crazy When you look at when you look at the elevator trade Don't act like you ain't hang up on that man I didn't mean to hang up on him Yes, you did That wasn't on purpose When you look at the elevator, Trey. Hello? Don't act like you didn't hang up on that, man.

And all of us wish we could call that person for Beyonce tickets. Well. Because he got them. Did he get them? We'll talk about it. All right. When we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET.

The Breakfast Club. We can't play that song no more. I love Sizzle. But it's too early in the morning. And whenever I hear that song, it sounds like the windshield wipers are going. But it's not raining. So when that song comes on, replace it with Doja Cat or something more upbeat, please or something more upbeat please hey the town right well you can't replace it with a beat you just can't have an instrumental running i didn't say the beat i said replace it with something more

Let's get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you catty-patting. All right, you gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Right. What's wrong with you, man? I can't believe you. Oh, my God. This guy is making a mess up here. No, I was shaking a bottle of my plant-based juice, my Carviva Wellness, and the top must have been open. So I ended up spilling juice all over the studio.

It exploded all over the place. Jesus Christ, somebody bring me some towels, man. All right. So I can wipe this up. All right, well, let's start off with Memphis Bleak. Now, Memphis Bleak was doing an interview with Drink Champs. Shout out to Norian EFN. Salute to Norian EFN.

And while he was there he was talking about how he was trying to get beyonce tickets for his wife's birthday so this is a tough situation right because you don't want to call the big homie for beyonce tickets who else you're gonna call that's your big homie but ain't that like you you should call the assistant why you know somebody else that worked there i mean he did say on the plate audio. He called Jay for Beyonce tickets. Well, that's exactly what he did. For me to get Beyonce tickets was a problem. My wife hit me like, yo, you know she in Philly? You trying to send me in there for the war, baby?

So, you know, I ain't f***ing. It's wifey. I got to go. I got to go again. So, I hit all the top dogs. All the bosses. They don't work for Ivy Park. Like. They don't work for Ivy Park. They'd be like, I don't work for Ivy Park.

No, they ain't even say none of that. All of them said, yo, Bleak, what are you bugging? You know you got to hit Jay. So I'm like, all right. I tried not to. But now I got to hit you. I got to. I tried to go around and save you.

But now this message got to go to you. Like, **** it. Yo, big homie, i need some tickets for the show his wifey b day ah nah trying to turn me the ticket goddamn here's the thing that we don't understand what's that memphis bleak and jay-z are homies correct forever yes so bleak said he tried to hit everybody else because he don't want to go direct to his homie and they was like bleak you know you gotta hit jay you think that they're going to tell they're not going to tell just anybody to hit jay they know bleak has that direct line of communication to jay that's why they told him to do that and he

did it and he got his tickets that's still an odd one though why is that odd that's not odd when that's your when that's your your homie but you ain't gonna call him asking for some tickets he didn't he called everybody else first and they said bleak you know't want to call him asking for some tickets. He didn't. He called everybody else first. And they said, Bleak, you know you need to call Jay. They only said that because it's Bleak. They know Bleak has that kind of relationship with Hov that he can do that. And guess what? He got his tickets.

So what are y'all talking about? Dropping the clues bombs for Bleak. Okay. I respect the fact that Bleak didn't want to bother him in the beginning. That's the last, that's the last, last person. All right. Well, the fact that everybodyak didn't want to bother him in the beginning. That's the last, last, last person I'll say, all right, well, I guess you got to hit big homie. The fact that everybody's looking at him like, why are you calling us? Jay, your guy. Call Jay.

If I need tickets, I'm going to call Bleak because I know Bleak going to call Hov. Yep, and Bleak going to send you directly the voicemail, as he should. Now, Monique, she calls out CBS to fairly compensate her and uh her uh Countess Vaughn for their time on the park and she's saying that she didn't get to pay paid the money that she deserved Countess Vaughn and I did a show called the Parkers the Parkers has now been on air for 24 years and they're trying to convince us through our ownership of the show that we made absolutely no money and it's baffling being that when you have a conversation with the executive producers and they allude to the fact that the

show in its entirety, five years, was made for under 70 million dollars. It went out of production in 2004 but by 2009 we see profit participation statements that show the program made over $700 million, but yet was in a close to a billion, if not a billion dollar deficit. So what we're asking you, CBS, is can you treat these two black women fairly? I mean, open up the books. Yeah, that's what CBS needs to do. CBS needs to sit down with, you know, Monique and her team and who are the count of on right now? And they need to open up the books. Show them, show them, show them what was made. Well, this is the thing I always say when you do any of these deals, right?

It's structured through contracts, right? And your lawyers look at the contracts. And if there's an issue or a problem, you're allowed to audit them. You're allowed to take them to court and audit them where they have to open up the books. And then you can go line to line with your team to see what's old what's spent and what you deserve yes and more than likely a company like cbs you know probably took advantage of you know a bunch of people who didn't necessarily know the business like they they know it now right so yeah i don't see a problem with that open up the books yeah show them what show them what they made so they can get properly paid nah Yeah. Now, lastly,

did you know Lil Baby and Blueface are going back and four firing shots at each other on music? No, and I don't care. And I'm going to tell you something, man.

There's a mess over here that I got to go clean up because there's something going on in this studio. The other day when Puff was here, that bottle just popped by itself.

Right. Just now, my bottle of Carviva Wellness popped open by itself because this bottle wasn't open. Not only was it not open, it was sealed. And for Just now, my bottle of Carviva Wellness popped open by itself because this bottle wasn't open. Not only was it not open, it was sealed. And for whatever reason,

it busted open and it's juice all over there that I need to, you know, go clean up because nobody else is going to do it. Well, before you hear that,

let's listen to Blue Face going a little bit. That's my way of saying I don't care. It's like we thought he'd know. How you let another grown man fill up on your booty?

Well, if you missed it, he says, how you let a grown man fill up on your booty? Well, if you missed it, he says, how you let a grown man fill up on your booty? He was talking about... Whoa, hold up now. Hold on now. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened now? Whoa, whoa.

You ain't telling me that. He was talking about Mike Rubin. You don't remember Michael Rubin? God damn. Mike Rubin ain't touching Lil Baby's booty. Y'all got to cut it out now. Y'all going too far. He didn't touch Lil Baby.

He did hug him from the back. Yeah, he did. He hugged him from the back, but he ain't touch his booty now. That's the Lil Crazy. That's the Lil Yeah, he did. He hugged him from the back, but he ain't touch his booty now. That's a little crazy. That's a little crazy, Blueface. Why Blueface give Lil Baby a shot like that, man? I don't know, man.

All right, but let's hear Lil Baby respond. I don't know what he said. I don't even know why you played it. I don't know what he said. Entertaining them young boys beef. First of all, it's not even really beef. No, it's not. It's just rappers trading bars at each other.

Jokes, really. Michael Rubin got it the worst, though. What do you mean? And you should say his name. Say his name. Don't just say, why you let another man feel on your booty. By the way, that's disrespectful, too. Yes.

Because ain't nobody was feeling on his booty. No, nobody was feeling on his booty, man. The only thing that could have made that worth of you is if you did a freestyle he wasn't nobody was feeling on his booty man the only thing that could have made that worth of you to did a freestyle to r kelly's feeling on your booty see you go too far all right and that is your rumor report now when we come back we got front page news with teslan figaro and taraji p henson they'll be joining us uh charlemagne is cleaning up uh yeah get it all up yep wipe it up wipe it up let me tell y'all something else about life right what um when that bottle popped in here with puff the other day yeah i was the only person that got

up to clean it up when this is uh this mess i just made i'm cleaning it up because it's my own mess that's the difference between me and a lot of other people but i don't have a problem getting my hands dirty because back in the day when i was an intern if i saw something like that i came running in to clean it up just want to tell i just want to just want to throw that out there for all the people in here still trying to make, I just want to throw that out there for all the people in here still trying to make it. Okay? I just want to throw that out there for all the people in here still trying to make it, okay? Alright. Alright, well,

front page news when we come back, Charlamagne's on his knees cleaning it up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Tesslyn, good morning.

Good morning again, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy, Breakfast Club family. Peace Tess. Let's jump right into it, let's talk about these poll workers in Mississippi. I really gotta get my mind out the gutter, because when I hear poll workers, I think strippers. Come on man. That's not the gutter. I know that's not what we're talking about. No.

Well shout out to all the strippers. That's not the gutter. I know that's not what we're talking about. No. Well, shout out to all the strippers. That's right. Poll workers in Mississippi said they haven't been paid for more than a month after the state primary elections. And people ain't tipping. Shut up, man. Let's roll with it. Go ahead. All right. In public comments at the Hyde County Board of Supervisors on Monday, poll manager Sheila Davis and election workers were very upset saying that they were not paid during the August 8th and August 28th runoff elections.

The workers said they refused to come back for November 7th if they are not paid. Let's listen to what she said. If you didn't get your pay, how would you feel? So that's why I'm here today as a community person, as a poll manager. I want to be able to work with integrity, November 7th. But if the people don't get paid, you will not have. You will probably have to go to the poll and work. They want to be poll workers now. They don't want to sit there and work 14 hours and wait. It's been 36 days now. If you work, you should get paid. That's the bottom line. But school me, Taz, who is supposed to pay him?

Yeah. So so for clarity, there's about a thousand poll workers that have not been compensated. So we're not talking about just a few folks. The election commissioner said that the reason they have not paid these folks is because the Democrat and Republican Party officials basically haven't given them the money and it's resulted in delays. Now, looking ahead, they said that they're going to use some churches for some poll sites. And the church said, no, we're going to be able to do it. You have to pay us up front. So I thought that was funny. Church is basically saying, try Jesus, not them. So even the church don't trust the Democrats and Republicans. So how do we make sure they get their money? They just got to keep raising awareness?

You just got to keep raising awareness. And which they're doing that by going to local meetings, keep telling people politics is local. Make your voice heard, not just in the comments, but actually show up at meetings, which is what they and i'm sure you know there'll be some some resolution to it now because they're going to need poll workers you know in november 7th you're going to have somebody somebody's going to have to work the poll i agree poll workers man especially when they're doing uh like private dances if it's not in the club they should get their money up front they should get their money up front because you can't guarantee that the people would at the private party gonna tip oh my goodness well that's why again well if we're gonna transition to that you know that's why you know a lot of times you do get guarantees uh in

some of the strip clubs you know give you a little bit of some some are private parties you know get guaranteed when you walk through the door and the breast is tips you know all about it oh my goodness can we can we move on to some real news let's talk elon musk he's trying to charge people on monthly fee i'm happy for this me too you are yeah you happy for this yes let her tell the story for us if i agree with you yeah oh really okay well when we talked about uh twitter charging folks before i thought i recalled you guys saying that was kind of crazy but we'll talk about in a second but he is once again uh debating bringing another change to X, which is formerly known as Twitter. Now, this is about reducing the trolls, which I'm sure is what you guys are talking about. But let's take a listen to what he had to say.

I'd say the single most important reason that we're moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system is it's the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots. Because a bot costs a fraction of a penny, call it a tenth of a penny. But if somebody even has to pay a few dollars or something, some minor amount, the effective cost of bots is very high. And then you also have to get a new payment method every time you have a new bot. That actually is the constraint of how many different credit cards you can

find even on the dark web. Well, yeah, I think what we were talking about, Tez, prior was I think it's crazy for people to want to pay for Twitter. Correct. But I don't think it's crazy for Elon to charge them because he should charge them. I want you to have to pay to hate me. You should not be able to hate pay for Twitter. Correct. You know what I mean? But I don't think it's crazy for Elon to charge them because he should charge them.

I want you to have to pay to hate me. You should not be able to hate me for free. Let's see how much you really care about hating. That's right. And I was thinking the same thing. Like, yeah, if you really want to hate, you really want to be that negative, if you're going to pay to be that negative,

then go ahead and do it. But I will tell you this, too. If they charge, I won't be on it anymore, so I won't even get to see it. But I haven't been on Twitter in like six years. Really? Literally. Literally.

People will literally be tweeting you too. I'll be laughing because I'll say, Sherman, literally. I never go on Twitter. Never.

Ever. Only time I see tweets is like if somebody send me a tweet but nobody ever send me nothing about me. They just send me news that came on Twitter

and I'll look at the link but I'm never on Twitter. But I link it to my IG so whatever I post on IG I also post on Twitter but I can link Twitter to IG yeah usually when you post on Instagram it automatically went to Twitter oh I make loads of Facebook are you sure and Facebook they don't have a link on Twitter no it used to be a click where you click on your Instagram and it automatically sends to Twitter I didn't know that either okay they don't have that anymore they recently pulled it off but I whatever put whatever i put on instagram i automatically

post on twitter as well and yeah i'm on there i'm very rare because it is a cesspool you know of avatars is what i call you know anonymous avatars you know just making anonymous comments yep uh hiding you know their identity uh and i i'm not a fan of it twitter used to be it is and it still is sometimes a good place for news you know because you get instant information i'm always looking for information um but it is definitely filled with bots. Instagram has bots, too, but you have a little bit more control over your page. Now, what he's talking about doing, you know, now he's he's already charging folks eight dollars a month to be verified, which is crazy because we know that you're paying for it, by the way, including on Instagram. And it's allowing you to access, you know, the special features.

Organizations are paying a thousand dollars a month to be verified and an extra fifty dollars for each of their affiliates. So, yeah, we'll see. They're going to charge everybody. Go ahead. Pay Elon Musk to hate us. OK, make Elon Musk richer. All right. I want to see how much you care about actually disliking the people you claim that you dislike. Go ahead and pay white man to continue to hate on more black people go ahead go ahead do it make the investment go

ahead make the investment do your thing all right well let me say this uh yesterday you said it was national cheeseburger day uh you know there's always a crazy day so today is national uh quesos day and national string cheese day so what's a queso? What's a queso? Like that goes with your nachos. Cheese? Cheese, yeah. Oh, I just call it cheese. You're talking about cheese sauce.

And Monday was National Cheeseburger Day. Monday. Yeah. So National String Cheese Day. But you don't eat cheese, Charlemagne. No, I don't like those intolerant. I feel like we just let our Latino listeners down, too. They're like, what is a queso?

You don't know what a queso is? Maybe. Yeah, the queso cheese. Am I not pronouncing, what is a queso? You don't know what a queso is? Maybe. Yeah, the queso cheese. Am I not pronouncing it right? Queso. Ray, you know what a queso is? It's queso. Yeah, Ray, it looks disgusting.

It's more Mexican, though. It's not Puerto Rican, though, right? It's more Mexican. It's cheese. Okay, well, salute to all the Mexicans out there. Shout out to all the Mexicans. Yeah, when you go to the bar and you ask, you know, they give you chips and give you that dip, queso dip.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about now. I just called it cheese sauce. I thought it was cheese whiz. Just learned something. Not cheese whiz. Alright, well thank you Tez. We'll see you tomorrow.

We're going to kick it well when we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good right. When we come back, Taraji P. Henson will be joining us. We're going to kick it with her when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legendary.

Taraji P. Henson. Welcome. How are you? Yeah, how are you feeling? I feel great. I feel great. You know, whenever I come to New York and especially when I'm coming for Boris Lawrence

Henson Foundation, you know, we're coming to spread joy, spread a message that it's okay not to be okay. That's right. You started that conversation. For people who don't know what the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation is. Okay. Tell them. Yes.

Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, we launched in 2018. And it's really to eradicate the stigma around mental illness in the black community and to bring more awareness to mental wellness in the black community. Because, you know, we don't talk about it. We suffer in silence. We isolate and we try to be strong and we're dying. So out of my own necessity for my own help, mental wellness and my son, I realized there was no real help out there for us. So I had to do something about it. So my best friend since the seventh grade, Tracy J.

Tracy. We launched the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to hopefully help a underserved community. How's your son doing? He's doing great. He's doing great. He's doing great. Yeah? He's doing great. He's doing great? He's doing great. Yeah, he's doing great. He's maneuvering through, you know,

trying to become, being a young black man in America. You know, when those rose-colored glasses come off. I'm sure you remember those days. But he's maneuvered through it pretty well. Did he have a moment? Oh, he had a huge moment. But I was, he picked the right mother, because, you know.

And it's interesting, because I had a older gentleman tell me years ago um when I was on the television show called The Division it was my first series regular and I came in upset about something with Marcel he was little at the time and this guy said don't you ever give up on him don't ever give I don't even know if Mark is still alive to this day but I just remember him I never forget him saying that every time I would have these issues with my son I would be like wanting to choke him I would hear his voice don't ever give up and um you can't give up on your kids you just gotta pray Tracy sent me something oh was it you or Pam somebody sent me something about a I think it was a um a pastor

who was saying don't give up on your baby I don't care if they strung out on drugs whatever their problem is you wrap them up in prayer don't ever give up on your baby i don't care if they strung out on drugs whatever their problem is you wrap them up in prayer don't ever give up on your children so what if you have to damn can you set maybe can you set boundaries with your kids if you need you have to set boundaries you must set boundaries are you kidding me what type of boundaries boundaries like what are you willing to accept and not accept you have to because these kids nowadays come so privileged they're not like us now i was talking to somebody the other day i was like i don't even think i i don't can't remember the last time i saw a group of children playing outside that's real yeah i make mine go

outside you have to yeah because they have these devices now um which is not good for the mental so um these kids aren't they don't even know what fresh air is anymore i don't think you know it's just a weird time to be a young that's true you don't even tell kids you smell like outside they don't go out i can't remember the last time i seen girls playing double dutch or or just riding bikes or anything i guess the scariest thing is you don't want them to like make any mistakes that's going to really cost them while they're coming around absolutely that's that was your mother's fear that's every parent's fear that was your father's but that's all of our fear forever like my mother to this day she tracks me i'm 53 and she tracks me she's like i just feel

so much better knowing where you are and when i see you're not moving i can sleep at night it never ends it never ends what what you know we don't talk about enough the resources that are available for the friends and family that have to deal with folks who have mental health issues exactly you know because it takes a toll on them especially parents because you feel like i can't fix my child it's something that i did wrong it's really hard um because that's your job to protect your kids and save them from, you know, mishaps.

And when you can't, you feel inadequate or you feel like you're not doing your job. It's hard. Parenting is not easy. And then being a single parent, I promise you,

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I wouldn't. I just wouldn't. First of all, children need both parents. Boys and girls, I don't care. just wouldn't it's it's first of all children need both parents boy boys and girls I don't care you need both of your parents if you're not living in the same household you you still need both I mean you know regardless of whether your relationship works out that has nothing to do with the kid you still have to show up both parents for that child unfortunately my son's father was murdered so i didn't have an option but

um yeah it's it's hard it's tough especially me being a boy mom i need the man i can't teach him how to be a man i don't know how to be a man you know and that was the that was the hardest struggle for us because when he was becoming a man he's looking at me like you can't tell me anything what can you tell me, your girl? It's just the dynamic is it gets a little difficult in the young adult years. Like Charlamagne was just saying, you know, so what do you do to make sure your mental is good? Remember when I went to Bali? I do.

You were there for a long time, too. I went for a whole month. Yeah, I had to. I had to. I was coming apart at the seams. And I didn't realize it because I was working and and God is God is amazing because God will put you in a situation where you have to sit down and I have been work in this doing this for over 20 years I have been working non-stop my entire career right and it was just this past year where I didn't have a lot. You know, I did Color Purple and I was just kind of like sitting around and not sitting around.

I had other stuff to do. But as far as like a call sheet and showing up and knowing lines and that kind of work, acting gigs. And it was for a reason because I needed to I needed to take care of me. I was not in a good place mentally. I just really wasn't and um and thank god i had that time to take care because lord knows where i would be if i didn't have the time to to really listen to myself and take time for myself and i think we live in such a grind society it's all about grinding you can sleep when you in that box well if you don't sleep now you might get to that box a little sooner than you plan when you when you finally slow down were you were you

surprised that you weren't happy uh i was at first but then i wasn't because once you sit down and you go well how did you expect to be happy if you weren't paying attention like i wasn't tracking my feelings i was just working and when you finally make it, you have this dream. I don't care what it is. You could be it could be to be a chef or whatever. But you have this dream and it finally comes true. It's like I can't stop now because what if the phone stops ringing? You know what I mean?

So you're not really paying attention to you're not doing a mental check. And then, like I said, God did it for me. I didn't have the jobs piled up and I literally had to stop and check myself I wasn't doing well and I knew because I was looking at the people around me and they were like walking on eggshells and I'm a cool person like I'm I'm the I'm the most fun person but they were concerned because I was a short fuse any little thing I was like I'm so annoyed I was annoyed about every little thing and it was like like i could even feel myself wanting to get into like arguments on the streets and you know

nowadays that's not safe all right it could be the end of your life you know and so it was things like little things were triggering me little things that once upon a time would just you know be water under the bridge or water off my back or whatever but I was literally everything was just ugh just I felt like

I could just run through a wall but you had yourself a way to know it was you though a lot of people don't you know a lot of people

would be like that's everybody else point fingers no no no no I'm the type like if I don't feel 100% I stay home

I don't put my on other people like if I'm not in the best mood I want to be the type, like, if I don't feel 100%, I stay home. I don't put my shit on other people. Like, if I'm not in the best mood. I want to be the type of person, when I come into a room and I leave, everybody's much better after my presence, right? And if I can't give that, then I need to stay home. All right, we got more with Taraji P. Henson. When we come back, don't move. 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 everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Taraji P. Henson. Charlamagne. What is Joy Joints?

Joy Joints. Okay. This is what I love. Because this is a time for us to really celebrate us and to find that joy and remind ourselves that that joy is our birthright. It's something that we were born with and it's something that is ours. And so across the nation, we want people to, if you have, if you're at work, it can be an office group, it could be friends. Remember how I said we don't see people playing outside anymore?

We're trying to recreate that. Get the kids, have kickball, you know, go outside and play kickball or spades games double dutch whatever it is that brings you joy get a group of people and do it um and we're all connecting through the boris lawrence henson foundation to raise awareness of just finding your joy tapping back into your joy so it's like a party it's a huge party and a nationwide party got you gotcha gotcha and you're with kate spade on this yes kate spade has been our partner since 20 and 2022 and they have

really just been incredible partners kate spade new york just been everything they are the reason why we're able to erect these wellness pods at hbU campuses. They've been our partners in that. And just our partners in getting the message of mental wellness. And talk about that, what you're doing on those HBCU campuses. And the first campus you started with. Yeah, we started with Alabama State University. We erected the first pod back in April. And it's been a huge success.

We're interested in universities that have who are very serious or invested in their student body mental wellness because it's one thing for us to bring the pod but now we need your help to keep it going and make sure that the kids are getting you know the help and the resources that they need and our next stop is Ham. And we're doing this one in November. And this is our second university. Are you allowed to do it at Hampton? Being a Howard?

I knew you was going to bring some. He got, he's trying to get me back because he missed me on his wall over here. Wow. See how people take it too far? Negroes always got to take it a little too far. I know y'all lost last weekend. It was a Hampton Howard game. But that's okay.

But y'all, it's not like y'all number one in anything. Damn. It's okay. Joy, we're here to spread joy. Joy.

He tried it. Did he put his helmet on that red ass helmet get that water bucket out of here anyway he threw me off my joy i'm back so what are the pods exactly oh they're like these containers you know those containers that everybody's making into homes now. Yep, yep. So we found a company, SI Container Bills. And they are amazing.

We had a student from Alabama State University who's a visual artist. And she made the whole mural, which is so beautiful. But in the respite pod, you can have meditation. You can do yoga. We have two actual rest pods we're suit because you know when you're in college you're always around people you know you have roommates it's the study hall it's the students and sometimes you just need to get away from all of that and so we have these rooms where you can go respite you can rest you can meet with a therapist virtually or in person or you can just go in there

and just relax and chill and sometimes you need to disconnect yes yes yes yes so it's a safe space for students to go when they feel stressed or when it's too much how many hbcus are you going to four that's dope yes that's dope yeah students need that because i mean because it gets stressful and especially uh for students that's never alone, going to those schools and not knowing people gives you anxiety. Having to pass and knowing that if you get a lower grade than a certain, you lose your scholarship and meet new friends. So I think that's that's amazing. Yeah. And it's also for students to feel like they belong. Correct. The dropout rate is insane. and it's because i think it's a lot of it is it's you know it's a lot on these students and now throw social media in the mix

oh my god on top of all the other things you know so we're just trying to help we're just trying to save us and save our future by saving these kids i feel like you should come out with a line of pre-rolls called Joy Joints. Joy Joints? Yes. Okay. Hey. You don't think so? Joy Joints. A line of pre-rolls. What's that? I got it. A lot of people are using plant-based medicine for their anxiety and depression and stuff like that. Yeah, they are. That'd be dope. You also have

the One Million Hours Joy Challenge. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you started that last spring. Yes. How did somebody join that? BorisLHensonFound foundation.org and you can find out how you can sign up for the joy joints or how you just if you just want to donate you know uh tyler perry uh spoke about something a couple of days ago can you talk about your Broadway show? Oh, I can totally talk about that. Okay, okay.

I am so proud to be a producer of a Broadway show. What I love about this show is because it showcases these women. And I love bringing life to hidden figures. You know, I grew up in D.C. I used to get my hair braided. But it was always over somebody's house, a friend's house. I never really knew about the hair braiding salons. I hung out millions of times in Harlem and I would walk past the salons. I just walked past them, you know.

But this play brings such a light to these women. And another thing, when you think about ICE and deportation, you never think about us. Because the only images they always show are the Latin community, right? But this play showcases that these women are undocumented. They're in this country and they're trying to make a living. This is how they're doing their braiding hair. And in the play, you see that they have an issue with ice and their documentation. I never think about that. Do you think about that?

No. One time when they I think it was was it the Haitian migrants who they say were coming over? That was a couple of years ago, but it was like a mention. It was just a mention. But whenever ICE shows up, you never see. It's always, they're coming down on the Latin community. So I never even thought about that. I never even thought about undocumented black people in the U.S. You know what I mean?

And these women literally just trying to make a living. And so that was very interesting to me. Not only that, yes, bringing life to their story and their lives, these incredible women. But I love hair. I almost became a cosmetologist. I mean, I almost went to school for cosmetology. But I missed it by one year. And I have a hair care line.

So it really made, it was a no-brainer for me to produce this show. And congratulations on the hair care line. Won a bunch of awards yes congrats are you using it at your household I did try some

my kids as well you know what we um my daughter had a problem with um boy the Hampton people lie for some let her finish

no no I'm gonna tell you why because I actually had to go and get everybody's hair product because my daughter had uh what is it called I don't know what it was

but she had something in her hair and we went and got everybody's hair i mean i done got the brat i didn't even know the brat had a hair product i picked up the brat hair products porsche has hair products i picked up because my wife sent me to the store and i just looked for anybody black and i just got on the product but you love tph but anyway that's what you forgot to say all right well hold up hold that thought we got more with taraji p henson when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning wake up good morning we are the breakfast club dj mv charlamagne the gods we're still kicking it with taraji p henson charlamagne what makes tph stand out from everybody else because tph specializes in scalp

care honey you gotta clean your scalp first and you have a head that is naked. You can see it. Do you have anything for him? No protection. Do you have anything for him? No. He has a scalp, doesn't he? You still gotta clean your scalp? You do.

Absolutely. You still have to clean your scalp. And moisturize it so it don't get dry. Absolutely. That's what TPA is here for. You got something for him, boy. That's that. She should get an award for that one now.

This is what I came for. Go, go. she's getting a walk for that one now this is what i came for but that but that but that's another way to bring joy oh absolutely i i believe self hair hair care is self-care especially for women from ethnic backgrounds because we have curly thick big hair and we look at doing our hair as a chore and so with the tph line it's more of um it's like a spa experience so you pamper yourself from scalp to toe that's because you don't have a body line too so um the whole line was created um to change the narrative of you know taking care of yourself as a chore and look at it more as self-care like take yourself to the spa and and the reason i came up with that is because my care care line launched during the

pandemic people were afraid to go to salons and be around other people so it was more like bring the salon home to you yeah you get an affordable price and affordable can men use it or is this absolutely men can use it you have a scout right yes but i'm talking about guys that use like the just for men in the beijing like will they wash it out will they wash it'll wash it all off damn yeah i think i hear soap and rain here comes the stab here comes the stab yeah you try to be funny we had a whole conversation about this because i think a lot of guys are doing this now they're getting the hair transplants in the beijing and the just for me and i'm like i'm like why like who are y'all doing this for I think a lot of guys are doing this now. They're getting their hair transplants in the Beijing and the just for men. And I'm like, why? Who are y'all doing this for?

And so a lot of women call them 50. They don't even like that. They'd rather the guys just be bald and grow their salt and pepper beard. Just like y'all'd rather us just wear our hair and not wear wigs and stuff. Oh, I don't care. I know, but I hear that a lot of men are just be natural. They don't believe that.

I think you should do whatever it is that makes you happy. That makes you happy. Unless you a man. If you a man, you should let the salt and pepper grow up. How come men can't do that? Because it looks ridiculous. That's terrible. They haven't learned how to blend it in.

Like it don't look natural. If it looks good, you don't mind if it looks good. If it looks good. Right? Because some of those wigs look really good. I'm trying to say this with a straight face. I'm really not trying to be funny because i believe people should do what makes them feel good and if if women can wear lace runs men can too i haven't seen a baby hair they've been going crazy with the baby hair the baby hair is a little out of control a little crazy baby they're bangs

they're not baby baby is going down to your your mouth like this your nose like your cheeks like it's getting crazy now yeah it's it's getting's getting crazy now you know what you know what it is when the baby hair meet the eyebrow yeah that's getting crazy now but you're talking to somebody i don't judge some people like it and if that makes you happy wear that baby bang baby because that is a natural i want that is a bang on your forehead but if that makes you feel good wear that bang baby and get you some tph products to slick it down that's right that's right that's right now world mental health day is coming up that's right what are some things people could do to uh in their communities create their own joy joints and joy challenges and all that good stuff get the best group if you like space you like uno

whatever it is that brings you joy it could be sitting outside sitting on a stoop talking whatever it is whatever brings you joy i can't tell you what brings you joy. It could be sitting outside, sitting on a stoop, talking. Whatever it is, whatever brings you joy. I can't tell you what brings you joy. I know what brings me joy. I want to play. I want to do double dutch. I want to jump double dutch. You still doing that?

And play jacks. I haven't in a while, but I would for this. To bring myself joy, I'm willing to do anything. That brings you back to your inner child? Absolutely. Never let your inner child die. Keep that alive't people don't double dutch nor do they know how to double dutch i know and that which is crazy because when we do the um events i bring this double dutch team husband wife and they teach people how to double dutch men and women and they

teach you the easy way how to how to you know because i'm double-handed so i don't know how to i don't know how to do it but but um it teaches you because it's fun and it's an exercise and a lot of people they don't know how to do it. But it teaches you because it's fun and it's an exercise. And a lot of people, they don't know how to do it anymore. No, they don't because people aren't playing outside anymore. That is correct. I like what you said about that because, you know, a lot of people are afraid to do that because their inner child still is so broken. Yeah. So what do you do when your inner child still needs to be loved?

You have to nurture it. You have to nurture that little child. Pay attention to it. That child cries out for attention all the time. I play still to this day. That's what my salon is about. I have a salon in my house and I get my friends tease me all the time because I have a square like a register. It's just I used to play register when I was a kid and as I grew up I was like I'm going to always purchase the things that I couldn't afford when I was a kid.

I was told no so much because we couldn't afford it. And when I can afford, I'm going to get it. And so my salon is more like my playroom. And that's where I go when things become too much. I go in there and I tell people, don't call me. I have clients. And what do you do? Do you go through a whole like uh-huh yep i have an appointment book and i make up appointments wow i go there i let my inner child play and i have these dolls these heads and i do their hair like one may have um a wet set

appointment one may have um a dye I may have to cut you do by yourself yeah Wow I went to the University of YouTube and I learned a lot I graduated magna cum laude so I know a lot of things I'll bring my girls over your house oh yes bring them over i was like that why did i have a girl you know what i mean girls are hard man my son be like miss me with all of that i'm not interested girls are hard i got four of them and my oldest is at that age where she don't want nothing to do with daddy she's 15 oh my god and that's heartbreaking put your put your seat belt on my wife says it'll it'll it'll go away but how long jesus You never know.

Yeah. Then she's going to get a boyfriend. Sometimes it could be five years. It could be ten. You get a boyfriend. It's usually a ten year. Pretty much. She's 25.

Then she's going to get married. You're not. Yes. Because it's true. Then she's going to have a baby. You're done. Hang it up for the 20s. That's right.

You're done. Just don't. What? Just wait for her to come back like 28, 29. Stop crying now. Yeah, I don't think people realize how heartbreaking. That's something that fathers don't talk about enough. Like, that's heartbreaking when your little girl all of a sudden don't want nothing to do with you.

And act like they don't even like you. Yep. Would you say that the Boyz II Men Foundation is your life's work? Yeah. Definitely my life. A life purpose a purpose a clear purpose like i thought it was acting i'm gonna touch the people through my work and of course i did but i just felt like that was to bring me here because this feels really fulfilling

like i really because you could do a performance at will you touch somebody will you change my i don't know i hope so but this is the work that is really changing and saving lives. And I feel good about what I'm doing. I feel important. You are important. Absolutely. For a number of reasons. I know, but this really makes me feel like I have a life purpose beyond vanity and being pretty in front of a camera.

Or what does she have on? Or, you know. Are you almost tired of Hollywood? Yeah. Almost is uh anyway but i still got some jobs to complete i have some things that i'm working on but i know what yeah it's i'm it's getting to the point where i'm ready to let these kids have it you know i'm looking for my exit strategy i don't want to be doing this one um not on a grind. I want to dip back in when I'm ready, when it's a project that I feel so inclined

out of here Taraji P. That's it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What happened? You what? My headphones in the other room, man.

What are you doing? You an idiot. The world's most dangerous. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy. Envy forgot his headphones. But it's time for Rumor Report. I think we're going to talk about Megan Thee Stallion.

Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out her 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. All right. Now, Megan Thee Stallion, she was doing a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. And she talks about overcoming hardships.

She talks about the VMAs and the next phase in her life. What can we expect in this new era of music for you? I feel like I'm in such a fresh space. Like everything about me is new. My attitude, my vibe. I feel like I'm starting a new chapter in my life. What's inspiring that new chapter? What do you think? I think

I've just gone through so much and I'm so at a point where I don't care about a lot of stuff. I'm just so comfortable with myself. I'm into taking risks right now. Yeah. I don't have any apps on my phone. I don't have any social media on my phone. What?

Yeah. So I have no idea what's happening half the time. Like, the whole JT thing, I didn't even know that had happened. Well, that's good, because nothing did happen. Nothing happened. So my homegirl called me. She's like, did you have a fight with Justin Timberlake? I said, what? But no, so I don't have any inspiration from anybody out right now. Nothing did happen. Nothing happened. So my homegirl called me. She's like, did you ever fight with Justin Timberlake?

I said, what? But no, so I don't have any inspiration from anybody out right now. I have no clue what anybody's doing. So the music that I've been making, it feels good to me. What are we expecting from Meg musically? And should we have an expectation of her musically? Are we expecting her to talk about the things that she's been through over the last couple of years? Or do we care?

What's the expectation? Or do we have one? I don't have one. I think Meg just makes music that makes people dance, makes people feel good. I don't expect her to do a long detail songs about what happened in her life. That's not what Meg did. But I do love what Meg said. Sometimes she has none of those apps on her phone

so it clears her mind. She doesn't have to worry about the he says, she say, the negative comments, the positive comments. She can just focus on music and focus on what's going on

really in life. But when did that happen? Because she was always clapping back at... Well, she said now. She said recently. Oh, recently. She said recently.

She said recently. I just wonder, I wonder do people have an expectation of Meg's music? Oh, no. I don't don't think so i'm not yeah no i'm not expecting her to detail anything that happened over the past couple years i mean she's never really been that kind of artist i'm not expecting that now i heard her and cardi working on an ep though yeah together i think that'd be dope yeah now uh back to uh nori shout to nori nori sent another

clip of his memphis bleak interview i believe that comes out this week now i thought this was entertaining i thought this was interesting there's a picture that we all see of michael jackson he just performed with jay-z uh and uh they all look excited everybody's in the picture dame dash clue memphis bleak so he talks about when michael jackson actually stepped in the room yo mike came through right yo? Yo, listen, if you wasn't with Hov, you had to turn around and face the wall. Wait, come on. Wait, wait. Yeah. So, Mike,

was it Mike who delivered that speech? Like, don't look at me. His security guards came in before he came in, right? So, they like this. Everybody who don't have the, like, the Jay-Z pads, like, I'm with the family. Not the Rockefeller team. You could have had the Rockefeller team. You had to have that pad. roll gee they was making this turn up face the wall like it was the pat down on the block like everybody because mike didn't want eye-to-eye contact nobody look them in his eyes

i might have turned around with the permission i don't want to look at his eyes so i'm looking at anybody in the hallway facing the wall like, these n****s. That's wild. I don't believe that. I mean, I believe that happened, but I don't believe Michael Jackson asked people to do that. I think that sometimes people's handlers be extra. That's what I think.

That's a little too extra to make everybody turn around and face the wall so you don't look people in the eye. But we've seen that before. We've seen extra people who the handlers will be extra. And then when you talk to the artists, the artists will be like, I didn't ask for that to happen. And I'm not going to lie, I used to do stuff like that.

What you mean? When I used to work for, when I used to work with Wendy Williams, I would tell interns, don't look her in the eye. I'd be like, Wendy don't like people who look people in the eye.

So that's you being an idiot. So they would always look down and Wendy would scream at them, why come y'all don't look me in the eye? When you talk to somebody, you're supposed to look people in the eye. That's just you being an idiot, man. That's totally different. So you wouldn't play if you had Michael Jackson?

All that power Michael got, you wouldn't tell people stupid stuff like that? That's his security. Man, I have people in there doing the hokey pokey. Like Michael would feel real comfortable if y'all walk in and y'all doing the hokey pokey. You know what I'm saying? That's why God don't give you anything to spout. You know what Michael really likes? When you walk in and you just walk up to him and sing Man in the Mirror.all doing the hokey pokey. You know what I'm saying? That's why God don't give you anything to spare. You know what Michael really likes? When you walk in

and you just walk up to him and sing Man in the Mirror. That's what he would really like. See? See? That's what... You know what? And that is your rumor report.

Gotta keep spirits light. All right. Now, Charlemagne. Yes. Give him that donkey too. Man, four after the hour. Wait till you find out what these kids did

when they heard about... When they heard Michael Jackson was coming. These kids at this school. This is crazy, boy. This is wild. i need these six individuals from santo amaro university to come to the front come to the front of the congregation we would like to have a word with them all right by the way this is nasty this is nasty all right we'll get to it next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same.

Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. It's called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jeff's hilarious.

Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, September 20th. It is September 20th, right? Yeah, September 20th. Goes to six Santo Amaro University students who have been expelled from said university. Now, stories like this make me feel like we really are in a multiverse. And it's quite possible that a lot of things we see online are from earth just not the earth we live on i'm serious when i say this people i believe there are multiple feeds being broadcasted at once from several different earths because sometimes you see things and you like those aren't the same kind of humans that i share space with not on this third

rock from the sun they from a planet earth just not the one we are because i can't think of any possible reason why six students attending a university of higher learning Would do what these young men did, at least not in this era Okay, if you born in the 1900s like I am, 1978 to be exact Then you know the 80s, 90s, early 2000s, whole different world Oh, it was a wild time, okay, what these men did though I personally believe would make some of the worst of us from that era cringe okay i believe what these six young men did would make anybody who was wilding say y'all went too far not just went too far but really got me thinking they need their

heads examined okay remember when adults would say that to us as kids that boy need his head examined okay what's wrong with his brain y'all got to take him to go see somebody in retrospect i believe they was talking about a therapist. OK, so salute to all of us who eventually went to go see somebody. But these six individuals really need a psychological evaluation. Are they got to be drug tested? Because what they did is despicable. But and, you know, it's despicable when I say despicable because I don't even like to use the word despicable because I have a lisp and I end up spitting everywhere. Let's go to FBC off the report, please.

Santo Romero University has expelled several students after footage of them went viral this week the brazilian university saw male students from the indoor football team sitting on the sidelines watching the women's volleyball team with their pants around their ankles after the team won the volleyball championship the players stormed the court and appeared to perform a group masturbation celebration. Are those their n****s? Oh my God, there are n****s around. There's n****s everywhere.

Why is there man-penises on the court? The half-naked group of students paraded around the gym, touching their genitalia, as those in the stands looked on in disgust. Sao Camilo University confirmed the incident originally took place in April. However, footage of the moment went viral over the weekend. The Santo Amaro University announced six students had been expelled this week, but did not name

them. For FBCR News 8, I'm Wayne Kerr. FBCR. Fake Breakfast Club Report. Real story. This is a fake news report. This is a real story. This real story. That's the true story It's not a real news station. You understand what I'm saying here, right? Yes, okay Six male students sitting on the sidelines watching the women's volleyball team with their pants around their ankles storm the court and appear to perform a group

masturbation celebration a celebratory circle jerk a Synchronized five finger shuffle a board of buffing the vampire slayers. Okay. How many males did it take to make Pearl Jam? Apparently six. And I, for the life of me, don't understand how someone can come up with an idea like this, run it by other people, and nobody, not one person, said hell no. And now what's nuts about this is these people, according to the Brazilian president, the Brazilian president had to comment on this because he's in town for the U.N. meetings in New York. Sidebar, y'all know that ain't nothing but NY Fashion Week for world leaders, right?

They just partying and fake work and same drug, same hook as his fashion week, just under the guise of politics. But the Brazilian president said this was a disgusting, unacceptable episode. The behavior of young people who are at the university who intend to be doctors and take care of people future doctors six of them together all seasoning their meatloaf at the same time it's like they was competing on top chef trying to see who can make the tastiest tartar sauce and we were just having this discussion with taraji p henson last hour how you don't want your children to end up making a mistake that's going to cost them. Remember we had that discussion?

Yes. And to me, this is what this is. Are these kids' lives over? No, absolutely not. But is it a temporary feeling that led to a permanent decision? Yes, because that permanent decision was there expelled. I don't know what the process is to get back in school, but I know it's not going to be an easy one, especially when you have a crime on your record like this i don't know how things are in brazil

but public masturbation i mean public masturbation is a misdemeanor you know uh here in america you can go to jail and get fined but even greater than that i simply don't trust you why would i trust you to be a productive member of society a doctor when you're making poor decisions like this and y'all decided to audition to finger puppets in public in front of everyone what the hell y'all doing when you think folks aren't looking if this is what y'all do when y'all in public what are y'all doing when you think folks aren't looking now y'all know me i encourage people if you see something say something and apparently these young men love to go around shaking hands with the milkman they love scratching yoda behind the ears okay a bunch of young jedis jerking and they may not know it but there have been people on campus who have come forward to

tell us what the hell has been going on with the squirt hockey six apparently these dudes spirit of beard bearded clam everywhere and folks feel like they have to defend themselves against them we have a black american who goes to santo amaro University and told us some things about an incident he had with the Squirt Hockey 6.

I just don't understand. You get those people together and be like, hey, this is a good idea. Not one person said no. Let's drop our pants,

Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Charlamagne's donkey of the day. Yeah, six male students from Santo Amaro University. We're calling them the Squirt Hockey Six. These guys literally sat on the sidelines watching the women's volleyball team with their pants around their ankles. After the girls won, they stormed the court and appeared to perform a circle jerk celebration.

Jesus Christ. A celebratory circle jerk. Okay. Yes. So we're asking 805-85-1051. What is something that you did that was stupid when you were young? You and your homies or you and your girls did something so stupid that you wish you didn't do it. You can call up.

You can be anonymous. And we got one person on the line right now hello who's this what's going on man it's cute man it's dj envy what's up q what's going on man how you feeling man man i'm so happy i finally got through man all right so you know what we're asking you sound like you're about to say something criminal nah it ain't too too it was i already did time for it whatever but it's all right now i mean it too, it was, I already did time for it, whatever, but it's all right now, I mean, it is what it is. Okay,

okay. you did time for it. All right, what happened? So, so like, like 10 years back, right,

me and a couple of my homies, we tried to hit a lick and we ended up leaving the dude paralyzed and after, you know, it was all said and done, dudes got caught,

they told on me, I went to prison for five years for it, you know, after I lost trial. You did what now? You robbed somebody, beat him up, and paralyzed him.

Nah, we didn't beat him up. Nah, he got shot. He got shot. Well, you know, it was after it was all said and done, like, you know, we got caught, and I went to trial for it, and everybody came and told on me at my trial. It was a dumb decision at the time, but know dudes was hungry dudes you know just trying to trying to come up yeah i mean listen we don't make no excuses for it and i'm glad that we can

sit back and tell tell these young boys that that behavior is absolutely stupid it's dumb you know what i mean it ain't gangster you don't get no scratch it was one of the dumbest decisions i've ever made in my life i. I did five years in prison. I got 15 years suspended after five. I actually just got out like three years ago. But, you know, I got my CDL. I'm on the road driving trucks now and stuff. So it was bad, but, you know, it turned out better for me, you know.

Well, listen, like I said during Donkey of the Day, sometimes it takes a false turn every now and then to arrive at the right destination. But you see how even with that crime that he just talked about, we still ain't looking at him like he ran on the court with six of his boys and jerked off. That's true. Even though they all should be looked at as both equally ridiculous. Yep.

Maybe not, though. Hello, who's this? You get paralyzed. Hello, this is Rico out of Tampa. Hey, what's up, bro? Talk to us. Oh, you from Florida. What did you do younger that you regret and that you wish you didn't Hey, what's up, bro? Talk to us. Oh, you from Florida. What a day. We good. What did you do younger that you regret and that you wish you didn't do,

but hopefully you learned from it? I remember when I was a kid back in the day, me and my boy used to be on the bridge and light fireworks and just throw them down at the highway and let them go off. See, that's stupid. To me, this is on the same level of these kids in the college because there's no reason for this. I guess the only thing that we could say about

the dude who robbed somebody, even though that's just as equally as dumb, probably more, is at least they were trying to get money. Y'all wasn't doing nothing but trying to hurt people. Yeah, that's it. It was just dumb young kids back in the day. How did you learn from that? How did you bounce back from that? What happened to make you stop? Or did you?

Yeah, we stopped because, like you said, when you get older, you see people, you know, basically get hurt from it real bad. So, as a young kid,

we stopped doing it. Have you gone to church to repent? Yeah, we have. I have. You Muslim now. Yo, shut up, man. Have a good one, man. What's wrong with you, man?

Hello, who's this? It's Angel, Envy. Angel, oh boy. When you guys say it's Angel Envy, what did you do that you regret that you did with your homies when you were younger, brother? Man, listen.

So I started saying, oh, no, my girlfriend was going back there to see her boyfriend. And then I was like, with a $50 bill in her hand. And I'm like, oh. So we got out the car. We ran. We left the car.

And we had a barbecue that day. Talk about we got out of jail for free. Y'all not quick on y'all feet. Because you should have said that the boyfriend gave her the $50. Because, you know, you was going to get your head done or your nails done or something like that. No, but she was walking back here to purchase the weed with the $50 in her hand. Oh, okay. that no but she was walking back here to purchase the weed with the dollars in her hand oh there's no way to get out of saying that because we were going to buy marijuana so so y'all just

running from we ran from the cop because the cop was fat so we were like go ahead fatty you can't you know i'm telling we got out of jail for free. We didn't get locked up in a ring. Well, congratulations, man. Did you learn anything from that story? Why stop hanging up on people so fast? All right, well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is I have no idea how patriarchy was ever able to be established. It clearly had to be because of muscle because it wasn't because of our minds.

Men are insane. We have been making poor decisions since the beginning of time. You hear me? That is a fact. Lord have mercy. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to talk about the MGM Grand.

It seems like they're losing like $8.4 million a day. And we'll tell you why. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jermaine Dupri. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Well, Birdman was recently doing an interview and he was talking about Jermaine Dupri and his effect on making sure the South was heard and seen it was challenging for us coming up very very challenging because they wouldn't play our music in no kind of way and like i said jermaine dupree really broke that barrier for us down south because he went up there and really made them play our music because they wouldn't play our music at all and i got a lot of respect for jermaine dupree but they wouldn't play our music and jermaine dupree went up there and was fighting for us and our music will be hissed down

bottom and it'll be four five six months before it be hit on the east and west coast but now it ain't like that our music hit more up there than down here but ain't nothing but love for the east and the west but i don't think we'll ever a sudden we ain't never letting that we love the way it feel we love the way we do we love the way we do but we can buy high sudden we ain't never letting that we love the way it feel we love the way we do we love the way with it but we can buy high nah we ain't never letting this go dropping the clues bombs for the south damn it he's absolutely right ever since andre 3000 stood on that source award stage in 95 and said the south got something to say we haven't looked back since and you had a whole generation of people from all over the world who because of the internet came up listening to

down south artists and down south artists influenced them. So the down south sound is actually the sound of hip hop in a lot of ways. And I don't see that changing no time. So, yeah, salute to Jermaine Dupri. And you're absolutely right. One, a lot of people from the east and west moved to the south. And two, I remember when Jermaine Dupri came to New York, he was working for Virgin at a time. And then he started working for Def Jam. I remember all the obstaclesaine Dupri came to New York. He was working for Virgin at the time. Then he started working for Def Jam.

I remember all the obstacles he had to face. They were asking him to take artists off of records and this, that, and the other. He stood ten toes down and was like, I'm not doing it. He pushed and was able to get artists like the Franchise Boys and Bubba Sparks. I'll be on that Kryptonite. I'll be on the Kryptonite. Killer Mike and Big Boi and Sleepy Brown and all those. And he was really, really fighting for those artists to be heard.

So salute to Jermaine Dupri. All right. Now, the MGM Hotel out in Vegas is losing $8.4 million a day. And that was the eighth straight day as of yesterday. And this is the reason why. Listen to this. It was a similar experience for many guests at MGM Resorts properties across the strip. Slot machines down, key cards not working at parking garages and hotel rooms, some places not even able to take credit cards for payment.

Problems started Sunday night, and by Monday morning, all MGM Resorts websites were offline. In a statement, MGM resorts websites were offline in a statement MGM resorts says that their gaming floors are operational as they continue to work to resolve this issue they also said they are working with cybersecurity experts while the FBI said they are assisting MGM resorts there is still no timeline on when systems will be back online I can't wait until I have as the social media I can't wait until that happens to social media i can't wait until one day all social media sites just crash no social media for like six

like six months what do we have like you know how long was we down for the pandemic was it a year about a year right about a year y'all need a year with no social media how about that all the social media sites just crash yeah Yeah. Well, they were saying that the person at allegedly cyber attack said they wanted $40 million to get it back up. And now here's an update to that story. And this just in tonight, MGM Resorts stating nearly all operations back to normal. That includes standard ticketing procedures for gaming machines. This after major disruptions from a cyber attack that began over a week ago. The only major resource still down

online reservations on the traditional website guess that excalibur may also still see some disturbances mjm resort saying their employees are available for any intermittent issues why do people think ransoms work and you think you're just gonna get 40 million from someone and go live happily ever after you think you're gonna commit to get $40 million from someone and go live happily ever after? You think you're going to commit a cyber attack of that magnitude, get $40 million, and just be gone about your life like everything's all good? You don't think they're going to come get you? Well, you know, I guess it's the dark web where they do things like that. But also, you got to look at it like this. How much is it going to cost me to get my system up and running?

If I paid a $40 million, let's say it might take me $30, $40 million to rebuild the system. So I'm going to hack you and then pay you to do the IT work? Yes. God dang. Cold world. I ain't mad at the hustle if it works, but I just don't see how it works. All right. And lastly, you got your fan, man.
