You guys, this is history. What you've done with the show. You guys have built a platform that includes Ayada Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. Wake the f*** up Breakfast Club. DJ Envy. Envy playing by record, I made it. Jess Hilarion. Jess, he would f***

She don't spare nobody. Charlamagne Tha God. What made you think the Viking of Controversial Questions would take his part? I like this show. Thanks Breakfast Club. Good morning, USA! Yes, it's Tuesday in Drop a Bomb for our very own Charlamagne Tha God. Yes, sir. Today is May 21st. So my third baby, my third book has been delivered. That's right.

Get Honest or Die Lying, Why Small Talk Sucks. It's available everywhere you buy books right now. This book is not for you if you're not ready to stop lying to yourself. This book is only for those who want to stop lying to themselves and who want to stop volunteering those lies to other people. Okay? for those who want to stop lying to themselves and who want to stop volunteering those lies to other people. And if you hate small talk the way that I hate small talk on all levels, this book is for you. Available everywhere you buy books right now.

Congratulations. And I was going to ask which would be a good topic later on. How do you stop small talk? During your welcome to New York welcome to the breakfast club party there was a gentleman named Shabugi that was in Charlemagne's ear the whole time. Charlemagne was wild.

Charlemagne actually posted a picture where you could see Shabugi talking and Charlemagne just looking like, leave me alone. He's still talking in the picture. He wasn't supposed to be in that picture. He was talking to me about Sexy Red's calf muscle. I have no idea what that means. He was like, yo, Sexy Red got big ass calf muscles. I was like, huh?

So it was a little confusing. So you just don't like small talk at all? I don't like small talk in the literal sense. So like, you know, that type of little chit-chatter that don't matter. But also I don't like small conversations, meaning that we make a lot of micros macros nowadays. Yeah, I agree. You know what I'm saying? And when you make the micros macros, when the real macros come across your desk, you

don't even know how to handle those. Well, a lot of times the micro is a setup for the macro, right? They do the small talk to try to get you comfortable. And I don't like that. Then they can ask you for something. That's usually what it is. And I don't like that. Let's get right to it.

That's funny because I actually talk about that verbatim in the book. Did you? Absolutely. That's perfect. Absolutely. Yeah, the small talks get you to where, hey, how you doing? How's everything? How are the kids? You really don't care care you don't mean nothing let's be like

so you know right you know it's hard out there i'm going through i'm going through this yeah how's the family everybody doing bad really but check this out you know saying right just keep it moving because they ain't even paying you no no not at all i'm talking about like nobody i got family members uh friends hey jess how you how you, you know, I'm like, literally, somebody sent me their eviction notice. Really? I said, oh, dang, that's crazy. I got a baby shower, two nurseries to get together. I'm gonna, like, yeah, let me let you

Yeah. Well, it worked for me. Okay. All right. Well, we have a special guest joining us today for the movie Babes. We have Alana Glazer and Michelle Buteau. So we're going to be kicking it with them in a little bit. And then, of course, we got front page news.

Donald Trump was back in court. His ex-attorney michael cohen it was some fireworks and we'll explain that when we come back as well but right now uh you could still say happy birthday to somebody that passed happy birthday to the notorious biggie today would have been uh biggie's birthday and it's only right to start off the uh show with a mix well not a mix but uh one more chance what's your favorite biggie joint? Give me the loot. Y'all can't play that on the radio. Give me the loot. Give me the loot.

Yes. Yep. Charlamagne, what's yours? From beginning to end. I would have to think about it. Probably my downfall. Pray and pray for my downfall. Sky's the limit is the joint, too.

But give me the loot. That's my jam. All right. Here's one more chance. Notorious B.I.G. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's D.E.J. Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Again, happy birthday to The Notorious B.I. morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jesselaris. Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Again, happy birthday to the notorious B.I.G. Yes, indeed. And let's get in some front page news.

Now, NBA, the Indiana Pacers will be taking on the Boston Celtics for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. That happens tonight at 8 p.m. And that's going to be in Boston. All right. Man, I'm going to pray for them boys, man. They tired. I know they tired. Pac pray for them boys, man. They tired. I know they tired.

Paces has got to be tired. They tired. They've been playing since. They only have one day off. They tired. Like, man. Shout out to them. They need so much strength.

So much strength. Gosh. No, they definitely tired. Now, yesterday, prosecution rested in the Hush Money Trump case yesterday where Michael Cohen was on the stand. And it got pretty nasty as it's been in the last couple of days. In court, Trump's attorney continued his blistering cross-examination of Michael Cohen and got the former fixer to admit he stole $60,000 from the Trump organization. In one instance, Cohen was given $50,000 by the Trump Organization to rig a poll back when Trump was thinking of running for president in 2015. But it turns out the pollster he hired charged just $20,000 and Cohen kept the rest for himself.

You stole from the Trump Organization, right? Asked Trump's lawyer. Yes, sir, was Cohen's reply. He says he did it out of anger because Trump had cut his annual bonus. Michael Cohen is the last witness for the prosecution. Now the defense gets to present their case. And everyone is wondering, will Donald Trump testify? Now, is Michael Cohen a credible witness? Because he's a convicted perjurer. He's a fraudster.

And he admitted to stealing sixty thousand dollars uh from the trump organization now you can look at it two ways you can look at it like he stole the money and now he's being honest about it right right or you can look at it as maybe this guy is a little sketchy and i don't know he doesn't want to go back to jail and he wants to make sure he's on the prosecutor's side oh he's just vindictive and wants to make sure uh you know trump gets his just do all of those things can be true by the way all of those things can be true oh i don't know well i guess we'll see i just wonder if the jury will find him uh credible after all of this because they say the entire case hinges on you know his testimony in a lot

of ways you look at him as a credible witness seems like he's he's not been truthful the whole time i mean he was honest he was he did commit perjury once before but he was honest when they asked him uh you know about stealing the money he didn't have to give that i don't know well rudy giuliani uh he was uh in uh well he's actually they were trying to serve him for the last couple of months and they couldn't serve him now this is for the case in arizona now what wound up happening was he said hey if you want serve me, come to my 80th birthday party. I bet you won't. And they absolutely positively did.

Rudy Giuliani was served with indictment papers in the Arizona fake Florida, when he was served the notice of his indictment on charges related to a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results here in Arizona. The announcement of the indictment came roughly an hour after Giuliani was on social media making taunting posts towards Arizona Attorney General Chris Mays. Mays responded to Giuliani's post after the notice was given saying, quote, nobody is above the law. Now Giuliani is expected to appear in court this Tuesday. Where do you get money for a party? That's what pisses me off the most. How the hell do you get

to throw a party and you file for bankruptcy? You owe $148 million to Georgia election workers for falsely accusing them of rigging the outcome in President Biden's faith. I'm glad you said that. Well, Rudy Giuliani has a coffee. I'm thrilled to introduce you to something I'm incredibly proud of. My own brand of organic specialty coffee, Rudy Coffee.

Believe me when I say it's the best coffee you'll ever try. It's smooth, rich, chocolatey, and gentle on your stomach. It's so good, I even recommend drinking it black. It comes in three varieties, including what I promise is the best decaf you'll ever have. By supporting Rudy Coffee, you're not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you're also supporting our cause. The cause of truth, justice, and American democracy. So did they sponsor the party? the cause of truth, justice, and American democracy. So did they sponsor the party?

I guess that's how he's getting money. He said, how's he getting money? Selling coffee. Coffee for $29.99. You get two pounds of the finest beans imaginable. He's a liar, too. Nothing is easy on your stomach when you're 80. Especially no damn coffee.

It's so good even for blacks. He said, what black? He said, you can drink it black. You can even drink it black. You can even break blacks. He said, he can drink it black. He can even drink it black. He can even wake blacks up. That would be hilarious. Oh my goodness. And that is front page news. All right.

I thought that you guys really tackled the Sean Diddy Combs subject with a lot of open um, what's the word, very open-minded. You let the callers call in and let them speak and got a lot of things off their chest.

It's Lamar. Lamar, what's up? Get it off your chest, brother. All right. Thank you for having me. I didn't get the chance to chime in yesterday about this Diddy situation, but I just wanted to let y'all know I'm really affected by it. You know what I mean?

Quick story. When I was 15 years old in high school, I kind of like started my own record label. 15 years old. And it was like, you like started my own record label. 15 years old. And it was like, you know, when you grow up and you just like, you know, pretend like, hey, let's play house with the shorty or whatever. But in this situation, I started my own record company at 15 years old. I had seven artists. And that was all because of Diddy. I was inspired by how he started, you know, his company and all this other stuff.

And I just wanted to mimic what he did. I became a producer. I became a producer rapper. Everybody was calling me a little diddy because of me being 15 years old, doing it by myself at 7 Artists, putting out music by myself. And now hearing all this, it's like I was inspired by this guy. Everything's ruined. It's like everything is ruined of how i view you know

our heroes because he was my hero and you say you say you know you know you shouldn't have these kind of guys that you hear was growing up i didn't have a father growing up and and and this is a guy that i i looked up to so i just wanted to say like i'm really really affected by this and i'm devastated and and and it's sad that this is happening. I understand the sense of grief, but you know you shouldn't beat yourself up too much because you didn't know Diddy personally. You knew him professionally

and that's what you were inspired by. That's what you were inspired by. And to put it even further, I always talk about the time where the Cosby show really encouraged me in a different way. It encouraged me to go to college. Without that,

I probably wouldn't have went to Hampton University. I was inspired by what I seen on television, show uh really encouraged me in a different world encouraged me to go to college uh without that i probably wouldn't went to hampton university like i was inspired by what i seen on television not as cosby the man but as the show that he put on and what he put what he put out there which really inspired me and i'm sure inspires so many people to go to a hbcu but not as him as a man but what he did as his artistry and by the way you can't you can't take away you can't take away what their art inspired by the way i want y'all you can't like if it's for envy to go to college because of that for you to aspire to be a producer because of that you cannot take away what somebody's art correct uh you know inspired thank you that makes sense to me you know and i don't want to i don't

want to get rid of that inspiration that he gave me because of the mistakes he made as a man. Right. You know what I mean? And I appreciate y'all and thank you for everything. Have a good one, Lamar. This should be a clear line in the sand between personal and professional. Unless, of course, you know, the personal bleeds into the professional like we saw in the case of, you know, R. Kelly. Because he would put a lot of that stuff in his music.

AJ, none of the stuff he was singing about. Yeah. But I understand the grief, right? R. Kelly, because he would put a lot of that stuff in his music. AJ number, the stuff he was singing about, yeah. I understand the grief, right? But if you're inspired by somebody's art, then you were inspired by their art. Can't take that away from a person. I didn't like how at one time they were taking the Cosby show off air, because I was like, it inspired so many

people for positivity, right? And that was his art. But they took it off air, and I felt like it was hard to get those type of shows on air that did that. And I'm sure the same thing with Diddy. Like this young man, you know, Diddy inspired millions, I'm sure, or hundreds of thousands of black men to try to get into the music industry and try to be entrepreneurs and try to be executives. So that's all professional. That's professional.

You didn't know them personally. Correct. You know what I'm saying? We didn't know nothing they had on had going on personally. Correct. Nope. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Now, we got Just With The Mess coming up. What are we talking about? Cam Rondon went on CNN, child, and some people calling it a disaster,

but I don't blame him. Cam going Cam. You know what I'm saying? If you don't know Cam by now, then you don't know much. Y'all know who y'all booked, and obviously,

y'all booked him. So, we'll talk about it when we come back. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Jess O'Leary, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Yo. Let's get to Jess with the mess. The news is real, brother. Jess O'Leary, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. So a quick shout out to us. We were featured on last night's episode of Jeopardy.

Yes. Yes. The category was 30-somethings, and we were questioned 400. In 2024, Jess Hilarious joined this radio show with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy. It's the Breakfast Club. Everybody know who the hell we are. They didn't get it, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't play with me like that. They know who I am. None of the contestants made a guess, but... Yeah, we created the question to who we was. That's right. But the people playing was like, I don't know. What the hell are you talking about? Maybe it's like the Breakfast Club.

A restaurant? What is this? Well, my mom and dad ain't gonna be happy, though. I know. Because they watch Jeopardy every night. I'm surprised they didn't call me when it came on last night. My grandma, shout out to grandma. Oh, my gosh.

I was happy. mean I know why I should show like that but you know why jeopardy no oh I was too busy watching like a like full house well salute to Amy Snyder Amy Snyder is a very Snyder was the woman who dominated on jeopardy for so long yes she knew me she got when I was a question she definitely hey what was the question that she knew for you? I don't even remember. Oh, all right. So, Sean Flex, yeah, they knew me one time before. Just letting you know, not new to this. Who was Wendy Williams' assistant for years?

Oh, yeah, Charlamagne Tha God. Winner of the win. We'll take it. Anyway, Cameron on CNN. He did an interview with anchor abby phillip and she started out asking cam his thoughts on the diddy surveillance video what i want to say first of all when i seen the video um everything in the video is egregious i'm against i don't support all the charges that's alleged against him i don't support any of that traffic and minors domestic violence. I'm totally against it.

So when I seen the video, yeah, I was kind of upset with it. Did you recognize that kind of anger at all from your experiences? I don't know like that. What do you mean? Do I be recognized? Do I recognize him? I've seen him. What do you mean my experiences?

I've seen him and I thought it was disgusting. What did you think about the apology that he gave in that other video? Amy, the apology ain't for me. It decides for Cassie. What I think about it don't matter. So you see he seems annoyed anyway. He does. Right? So then she keep going.

Is there something known in the industry about how Diddy treated his artists? So I'm going to get some cheeks after this horse apology. I can't really tell you how Puff moves or anything like that. Mace may know better than me because he was signed to Puff. I wasn't. What about the industry in general? I mean, so many people have pointed out that Diddy couldn't get away with this stuff if there weren't a lot of people protecting him. Do you think that's the case?

Who the talent agent for this joint? Like, you think I'd be sitting around watching what Diddy do and all this? I didn't know this was a Diddy joint that I was inviting me to. Yo, who booked me for this joint like you think i'll be sitting around watching what did he do and all this i didn't know this was a ditty joint that i'll invite me to yo who booked me for this joint thanks for joining us thank you for your time tonight yeah yo thank you thank you for having me i was like let me out the car yes i didn't know this was a ditty joint imagine walking into a party like it's a ddy party? We gotta go! Cam is hilarious, man. Because he could have went all the way off. Cam is hilarious.

In Cam's defense, though, why would CNN book Cam to talk about Diddy? You at least attempt to book Mace to talk about Diddy. I think somebody mixed up the book just because they're on the same show. I know Mace was like, hey, yo, don't say my name.

He said Mace would know better because he was signed to puff but well who booked me for this cam cam had another another good promo moment on there when he was like you know my show comes on uh i think it's at 8 a.m on youtube right and he was like you know mace might give y'all more about diddy on there you know but but once again cnn booked mace yeah to talk about diddy mace was signed to diddy, not Cam. He still found a way to do promo, though. When you hear him drinking, he's drinking his pink horsepower, the male performance enhancement drink,

which is why he informed her of the cheeks he was getting after the interview. I got cheeks after this, so that's why I'm drinking this. I love Cam, man. Can't talk about cheeks and Diddy in the same sentence right now, though. Yeah, but he wasn't the one answering the questions. She tried it. Salute to Cam, Ron. Yeah. More on Kim, Ron. Yeah.

More on CNN, though. Susie Siegel, who's a former assistant for Diddy, appeared on CNN as well with another reporter that interviewed a little bit better. I felt sick. And I felt violently angry. And I felt like I'm sure a lot of men and women feel looking at that video that it's so disturbing that the video doesn't lie. I mean, that's terror. That's what you would do if there was a fire, right? You would just run out, grab what you could.

So I can only imagine looking at that, the fear that she felt she had to get out of that room and bare feet in order to be safe or protect herself. I guess what I would say is even though I never saw anything that could corroborate what's in that lawsuit and what we just saw, there was not one cell in my body that was surprised. Yeah, this is a former... What does that mean then? She said she never saw anything,

but she wasn't surprised. She's trying not to implicate herself. Exactly. That's so whack. Absolutely. Either you're going to admit that you saw some things and for whatever reason you turned a blind eye.

But don't say you didn't see anything, but then you weren't surprised. That's the one that she said she was in a limo with them before. And she went to parties with them before. But she said, I've never seen anything, but I'm not surprised. That's talking out of two sides of your mouth. Sounds crazy. Trying to cover her eyes. So that's just with the mess for the first hour.

We'll get to the second stories in a minute that's true because nobody wants to answer those questions nobody wants to be like well why didn't you do anything why didn't you say something why didn't you report it back then yeah well we're about to say a lot of that all right well thank you for just with the mess when we come back we got front page news we got to tell you about uh a deadly uh it was a couple of things something happened in florida at a roller skating rink uh and also we got to tell you about you know bluey the the character bluey no or at least people hired i guess the character bluey and it was uh let's just say his beard was sticking out the mask you only had like one shoe on we'll talk

about it when we come back pretty bad yeah. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, Red Lobster is filing for bankruptcy. That's their fault. They should have listened to me. Now, the Florida-based casual dying giant

filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They said because you're eating too many of the biscuits. I already told y'all the problem with Red Lobster. The problem with Red Lobster is they are still presenting themselves as a fine dining experience. Don't nobody want to go sit in Red Lobster and eat except for Mother's Day and I don't even think they want to do that no more. Red Lobster should have more of a Chipotle model

where you can just go in there and get your little bowls and your biscuit and keep it moving that's it well they plan to close 99 locations as they deal with their financial problems so we'll see what happens with red lobster just you just got to reconfigure some things i'm telling you if they take the chipotle model and you can just go in there and get your lobster and shrimp pasta real quick you know your little cheddar cheese biscuit real quick. Just change the model and you'll be fine. Well, in New Hampshire, a daycare center decided they couldn't deal with the kids anymore, so they put a melatonin in some of their foods.

Now, if you don't know what melatonin is, it's something that you can put in that can make people sleepy. So daycare workers allegedly put this in the kids' lunches to actually make them go to sleep now for daycare workers in New Hampshire have been charged with endangering a child after reportedly spiking their food at the daycare center Sally Dreckman declining to answer questions as she drives away from her home police say she owns and operates a daycare out of this West Side house she and three of her employees are accused of sprinkling a sleep aid supplement onto the food they serve to kids in their care. This is something that is an over-the-counter drug that's usually used as a sleep aid that was given to these children with no knowledge

for the parents and no consent. Dreckman and those three employees, identified as Tracy Innie, Kaitlyn Filardo, and Jessica Foster, are all facing 10 counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Police say their investigation began with a tip late last year. Somebody who had been inside the building that had heard about these practices and tipped us off to that. We also got some anonymous tips as well through our crime line. Police and the state confirmed the daycare was operating without a license. So what's the problem is to give the kid melatonin?

Maybe not. No, they say you shouldn't give melatonin to kids like under age three. So what is the proper age? When can you start giving kids a little bit of melatonin? I don't know. I don't even think it's more so about that. I think you can give your own kid melatonin, but not be served melatonin at a damn daycare. Like what?

Without the parent's consent. Yeah, like, excuse me? Correct. Yeah. Now, also, you guys know who Bluey is right you guys have come on don't play with me no talking about okay you'll know in a minute yeah you'll know how much you got three about this time next year you'll be bluey bluey okay now mom dad okay you know bingo all right all right so they had a bluey celebration a bluey marathon so they hired a bluey character the problem was the character didn't look like bluey local restaurant says they wanted their own family friendly day with cartoon character bluey they

expected a few dozen people in regulars thousands rsVP'd. Hundreds of families were left fuming and say kids were disappointed. The restaurant spoke to Fox 5 and says they want to say sorry to all the families and they underestimated the power of Bluey. When I saw him, I just ignored him. I was mad. What did he look like the cartoon? Did he look like on TV? No. He looked like unexpected. We could see his beard.

I thought the kids had the same reaction. The kids were distraught. Some kids were crying. Some kids were upset crying in their parents' shoulders. That sounds like Blackie. Oh my God. Yes! What?

That sounds like Blackie. he was from north philly his beard was sticking out kept asking how long he got a beard this young look at his bed if you look you can see his beard sticking out the costume is not all the way on that's like on the top of his head oh no you see it yeah no this is bad i don't even know what bluey looked like but this this man looks crazy. Show that to Charlotte, man. You got to look closely because the costume was not all the way on. He walked in with his bed hanging out. You see the costume like half on his head, half not, and you can see his bed coming out.

Man, he's just trying to make ends meet, man. He on probation, man. He on probation. They told him he got to have a little gig, man. He got to have a little job, man. He just trying to do what he do, man. Yo, boo this man. See, they call him Dirt Dog. They say this ain't blue this is dirt dog damn damn where was this at this was in vegas this was in vegas he's from trilley though he just moved out to vegas as

far as his probation he had to get a job that's where his aunt stayed jesus and lastly a wild riot breaks out at a florida roller skating rink now allegedly this is what they're saying happened they booked the party uh and the skating rink said if you're going to book a party you have to have an off-duty officer the person booking the party didn't hire an off-duty officer so they canceled the party so allegedly the people still throwing a party was like f this we're gonna party anyway so everybody come on. And that's when the riot began. Cell phone cameras recorded and streamed live as chaos unfolded Saturday night. Several videos show a teenager beaten and kicked through the window of a barbershop.

Other clips captured several more fights. I was a little scared. I'm like, oh my gosh. Cause I'm like, where is she? I haven't heard from her. Fentel Peterson says her 15-year- old daughter wasn't part of the brawl, but got caught up in it and arrested. She said at first it was just a nice event. Everybody was having fun.

And then towards the end of the night, it got chaotic. Hillsborough deputies say this all began after Astros gate canceled an after party. The owner, Chris Maganias, says the private host didn't hire an off-duty deputy for the event, which his business requires. We took the steps that we had to take to make sure that we didn't lose control of the building. Detectives say someone associated with that party went on social media and urged people to go to the business anyway, riot, and confront law enforcement. So said, 23 juveniles were arrested and six adults wow

all right and that's out in florida and that is front page news now when we come back from the movie babes michelle buteau and alana glazer will be joining us we're gonna kick it with them again they got the new movie babes out right now mich Michelle is from Jersey. Alana is from Long Island. They're friends, and they created this comedy. So we're going to talk to them next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

You produced it. She's a powerhouse. We out here. Not just being thrown out on some streaming platform correct that's correct yeah yeah i'm excited about that too also press is like such an insane part of the job but to do it with michelle we have been just laughing so much it's loopy i don't i haven't figured out my dosage yet but i don't need it just do press you know what i mean it's great but it's fun because we're also comedians and so we don't mind saying something or talking about something like 12 000 times and it's an important over and over and over and over and over and over every time sort of just like well it's like married sex you know you gotta use your imagination and get it right oh my goodness come on so got to ask some of the questions. I can't wait.

Did you write the questions? Not this one. Hold on, hold on. In marriage, sex, we try to switch it up. We try to do back shots, missionary,

69, sometimes take an edible. Bro, nobody asked. We didn't need no details. Oh, I love them. I was like, absolutely. Me too.

No 69 without a hemorrhoid because that's too vulnerable. Yeah. Good morning, everybody. Let's talk about babes. We're going to without a hemorrhoid because that's too vulnerable. Good morning, everybody. Let's talk about Babes. With the hemorrhoid to Babes. Okay. Now tell us what Babes is about for people that don't know.

So Babes is a movie, a heart comedy with a lot of heart about two best friends, lifelong friends who are in very different places in their lives. Michelle's character, Dawn,

is married with two kids. My character, Eden, is a free spirit, spontaneous, totally naive to the responsibilities of parenting. Yeah.

And when my character, Eden, gets pregnant, she decides to keep the baby and it tests their friendship in a crazy way. Now, was it a one-night stand that you got pregnant? Yeah, that's right.

One-night stand. Yeah, a very special one-night stand that touched this person. Yeah. Eden. That's how I met my husband, too, so like.... One night stand. Yeah, a very special one night stand that touched this person. Yeah. Eden. That's how I met my husband, too. One night stand?

Yes. I always say open your mind, your heart, and your legs to love because you never know when you're going to find it. That's right. And Alana, you wrote this, right? I don't want to say an extension of Broad City, but Broad City told a very specific story of people in their 20s. Now it's like a woman in their late 30 30s it's it's totally like related the vibe you know and my character Eden is is definitely similar to Ilana Wexler the way she's like born out of me I co-wrote it with Josh Rabinowitz um and he also wrote on Broad City and um with actually uh the

late great Kevin Barnett they They were a writing team. Oh, man. Rest in peace to that boy. Yeah. And the character Claude is based on Kevin. Wow. The character that my character Eden gets pregnant by is based on Kevin. And it was really fun.

We were kind of writing in Kevin's voice. Stefan killed it. Yeah. Stefan James killed it. Killed it. Really, I think Kevin would be thrilled that Stephon was portraying him. Yeah. Was there any thought like Eden is what Alana would be doing now?

Kind of. You know, like it's totally related. And she's, you know, she's chill. She's a stoner. She's weird. You know, in the same way that anything that I make that's like really in my voice is going to be related to me in that way. Now, Michelle, you have babies. So did you enjoy enjoy pregnancy because some people enjoy pregnancy they love it and some people just absolutely positively hate it exactly and so pregnancy for me this was like a very

interesting um movie for me to do because um my body couldn't carry my kids so we went down the surrogacy route and so you know for me i really want to honor what it was like to be pregnant because i never had that experience so i'm also learning as a woman what what that's like but what i did bring to the table was being just a tired ass mom of five-year-old twins where it's like if i didn't have kids i'd probably play this character like hey everyone i got applesauce but when you're tired just like who want it open it go get your applesauce you know what i mean and so you know just even the nuance of like loving your family but the way you really talk to them when you're tired like that and um especially as

a comedian i want to make it light and bright and funny and fun and so the great thing about the writing with josh and alana and then also the directing with pamela she's just like you ain't gotta say anything just be still on comedians it's hard for us just to like hear silence and i'm like shouldn't we fill it with a joke and she's like no you are tired stare off into space and i was like oh that's why i go to the bathroom and take my phone when i'm at home that's right it's my me time yes and the movie opens up with this unbelievable labor scene that michelle does and the way that you conjure it's so funny because it's so real the way that you like conjured that i love physical comedy it was that's the only kind of cardio i began is physical comedy it's so fun it really is fun i feel like people just don't let themselves fly

anymore you know what i mean but i also love these conversations too because I even have family members that will forget that I did not give birth because I am so in motherhood. And there's no shame to this story. I think there's beauty in alternative family planning and alternative love. And you don't have to be blood related to somebody to love them, which is like, you know, what babes is about too. And so, yeah, I mean, I don't mind at all. And it's not a mistake or a mishap on anybody it's like it's my story and i don't mind sharing it at all and like i it was surrogacy was not legal in new york when i was going through it and so i stumped with um andy cohen in albany and it's overturned now and so you know gestational surrogacy is legals so if you you know have to go down that route like whatever you want like

whether it's a kid or a career whatever whatever you want, I want that for you. Just be a crazy and go get it. I'm not a woman, so I can't speak to this. Oh, we know that's right. But I would feel like I feel like motherhood and carrying a child is two different things because you can be a surrogate that carries a child. Absolutely. Taking the journey of motherhood. And also like how hard you work to get to that place where, you know,

took you years to get to this place that you worked so hard. Five years, four losses. Wow. You worked so hard to get your babies. Yeah. And also did comedy

at the same time. You know what it is. Oh, my Lord. I'm sure you guys have been through hard stuff. I don't know what you've been through. Sometimes we don't,

you share so much every day. You have to keep something for yourself. Right. But, you know, I think there is power in sharing because then you do make people feel less alone and also it's cathartic for you

so I don't mind I'm learning a lot by watching I'm married with four kids but I'm learning a lot by watching Jess because she comes in here every morning she does the show and she's flying to do stand up so it's just it's that grind

oh you know what we talk about this all the time rest is also productive that's okay sit down she took a day off this week and i was happy because more people don't want they feel like they don't want to lose the opportunity right but she hit us and she was like guys i'm fine everything's okay i'm just taking the day right and i respected that yeah yeah that's the hardest one you know we have this like pulse and pulsing and pulsing to go go go especially in New York and you want to like show up as though you're at the front of the line too

so it's a real act of strength I hope she gets a nice foot rub alright we got more with Michelle Boutte and Alana Glazer when we come back their new movie Babes is in theaters now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,

Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Michelle Boutte and Alana Glazer. Their movie, Babes, is in theaters now. Charlamagne? You know, Alana, Michelle is in this film with you. Y'all been friends for 20 years, right? When you write something, how do you know this is the best person for the role

or this is my friend? How do you know? You know, when I was writing this with Josh, we were also kind of writing it with our producer, Susie Fox. So Susie was the dawn between us because Josh's wife and I were pregnant at the same time. We didn't know. I can't believe you have four kids. Mazel tov.

Four daughters, yeah. Four daughters? Oh my God, that's amazing. That is cool. how many bathrooms do you have that is a sign of royalty yes that is empire building made it that's your that's your ancestors wildest dreams that's the 48 acres in the new oh my god five. Five bathrooms. So Susie was like, was in Michelle's role, had a one and a three year old. Josh and I, Josh's wife was pregnant and I was pregnant. So we didn't know.

We were like my character who didn't know how hard it is to raise a kid and work and also be a person if you can manage it. So we like kind of had our character dynamic filled as we were writing it. And Michelle came to me in a dream. It was like the thing so obvious. It's right in front of your nose and i became obsessed like literally like her she forced me into it i was like this is a great script i love you i'm busy she's like no you can do this i said i'm i'm potty

training three-year-olds right now i don't even and i'm not a forceful person i do not like to force i love consent i do not like to force people it was consensual it was consensual by the time she said yes by the time i said yes yes but like but i was just like damn like this can't i really can't see this as anybody but you because like michelle is so funny but so emotional and like has such a big heart and she was the only person who could who could capture both did y'all talk about some of the cravings women have like you know i know my wife wanted uh ice cream and strawberries every morning oh did you get it of course yes just wanted tacos and she eats lasagna at six o'clock in the morning i'm done with the savory burritos yeah me too savory um you know what's so funny is that i called my

surrogate and asked her if she had any cravings and she like, I hate spaghetti with tomato sauce and I just want it every day. And I was like, damn my kids. Because I'm a pasta like morning, noon, and night. I love pasta.

Is it pasta or carbs? It's just pasta. I don't like bread, but pasta, lo mein, cacio e pepe, a rigatoni with a vodka sauce.

That sounds like a bowl right there. Oh my, was it like a squid ink with the lobster? Lobster, shrimp, mussels. But like a good shrimp? And crab meat, yes. Yes.

With a little red chili pepper flakes. And a nice little buttery chardonnay. Get a little green apple on the back. Right, we hungry now. We hungry now. Such a sommelier. What do you like to eat? And I was i was gonna ask how did being a mom change you just in life for me being a parent i didn't think about money my creative process i felt freer i was

like life is beautiful and it's meant to be lived and it's a miracle that we're here so let's just fly baby and um thank god like that's that's when the money started coming so right yeah and i think that's like not a coincidence you know there's like this like magnitude that you're pulling where you're like i'm in my own world and like then you become the sun just pulling in the other elements yes come on yoga class burning candles donations only downward dog shavasana let's go i uh i've been like taking so much more pleasure in comedy and like less stress, less like more from the inside out, I think is what becoming a mom has given me where it's like and that same pull to where like, you know, I don't know, I used to like stress or be

like more anxious about stand up and TV and film. But now it's like I'm I'm really like drinking it in and my baby is three years old. So I'm still in that like sort of baby phase and just enjoying how like insanely cute it is i can't even believe but i know i'm gonna be a wreck oh i'm very anxious i'm a helicopter a lawnmower and i used to like i'm not even like a lawnmower yeah i get caught my my oldest is 15 she called me a helicopter dad what is a lawnmower dad i mean lawnmower is like i will i will drive over you to get it done like i'm glad that you think you could climb this tree you can't let me get you down okay and my husband's european and so it's very different being married to a person that grew up in a place where the government actually takes care of them so he's like let them

see what happens i'm like no no. We don't have a PPO. Let's just not do that. City MD is open 24 hours, but I don't want to find out. So like, you know, I do want them creatively. I'm just like fly baby. But physically he's just like, let them see. So we're doing swimming lessons and stuff. But also one thing I realized coming from a big Caribbean family, I'm telling my kids, you don't have to say hi to everybody.

You know what I mean? You don't have to kiss everyone on the cheek. You don't have to sit on their lap. You don't have to hug them. This is your body. So if you don't feel like doing all that, you don't have to because I was always just, you know. Same, same. And that's weird for a lot of my Caribbean family, but I'm like, I don't care.

Let them do what they want to do. It's gross. You don't have to kiss. You don't have to. You don't have to sit on everyone's lap we good yeah how important is the female bond and friendship when you have like these big things happen in your life like like giving birth like these big life changes i mean it's everything yeah it's like the the foundation i think yeah and and also like um just to hear like the real minutiae and the real details of how you're doing it that was something when we were making babes between pam minutiae and the real details of how you're doing it. That was something when we were making babes between Pamela and you and me to talk about how we actually get it done.

It's like new ideas for like lunches or whatever. Yeah. It's like so useful. Yeah. It was definitely I realized that all of us use our time very wisely. Yeah. yeah right for me being the first time um creator starring in working with pamela who's a creator starring in five seasons then also alana i was like this is just like a beautiful ass masterclass and then going to my set and working with tasha smith and garcelle bouvet i'm just like

you know there is um a sisterhood no matter where you're from and it's like if you don't talk about it like my therapist my therapist isn't always available and she's expensive so you gotta talk to your friends is uh survival of the tickets coming back it is we're in the writer's room we're gonna be filming season two and uh and i got like a crazy ass show coming up at radio city music hall did i read that right you're the first the first woman ever to tape a special at radio congratulations thank you so much yeah i'll put you on the list if you can tape a special at radio city musical congratulations thank you so much yeah i'll put you on the list if you can get a babysitter you all got a lot of kids would love to okay why why did you choose radio city just for the historical aspect of it no no i you know

i opened for jonathan van ness uh who is on queer eye on netflix i opened for them in 2019 and didn't even realize that i could play a stage like that because i've never been given the opportunity before and i got a standing ovation after 15 minutes set and i was like what is this feeling right this is like why am i doing this unless i'm challenging myself and so i always had my eye on the prize but never thought i could do it because you know i don't want to constantly talk about what women are not getting paid right it's like those dreams aren't always in the budget and then i realized like i'm not doing this for money i'm doing this for like higher power a greater purpose you know for me growing up it was like whoopi goldberg and simbad there's gotta be

more right you know and so i just always want black brown fat queer whatever you know whoever to like at least see my set and be like oh my god radio city i don't even know i can go see the rockettes let alone film a special there and so when i just i just want to look at the place you know you ever go like on a on a housing tour and just look at the the house you can't afford to see what it would look like and feel like and so that's what it was like and i was like what other females look like and feel like. And so that's what it was like. And I was like, what other females performed here and taped a special? You know, it's kind of like

looking at an apartment and be like, anyone die here? And they were like, no one. And then I got the goosies, the right nipple got hard because that's the one

that really is awake now. And I said, okay, I got to do this. I got to do it. And so June 6th, yes, everybody come out and, you know, bring 2,000 of your friends.

Let's go. And let's make it happen. I'm excited. Come on, New York. I also want to take a hot shit every time I think about it. That's good. That means something to you. Truly.

Yeah. Is that like one of your rituals? Yes. Hot shit and anxiety kicks in. Oof, yeah, it keeps me regular. Well, on move, we got more with michelle boutte and alana glazer babes their new movie is in theaters right now it's the breakfast club good morning breakfast club we're still kicking in with michelle boutte and alana glazer charlamagne now uh alana the

title babes yeah like some people would say babes can be a derogatory term depending on the context it could be offensive depending on the context so why the title babes i mean we went through a lot of titles i'd i'd love to be called a babe i was like where i mean i see what you mean it's not widely considered but yeah yeah depending on the context like diminutive something to a woman but um but i love it we just had a list of titles yeah you did and they were sort of like also like punny. And it was like, ew. And Josh pitched Babes. And you know, it was like also I think the scope we were going for.

Like we really wanted to make a studio comedy that had a lot of heart. Something really funny, but that you also could tear up or cry at. And Babes just felt like it was putting the movie on the map where it was supposed to be. Yeah. That's a good name. Babes. I know. Josh. Babes having Babes. Yoshi. I've seen people say the movie is raunchy. And it makes me wonder, do to be yeah it's a good name babes i know josh yoshi i've seen people say the movie is raunchy and it makes me wonder do they really think it's raunchy or

is certain topics about women just make certain people uncomfortable i think that's it yeah yeah you know women go through your shit be quiet about it show up but don't be you know don't be too sexy just be sexy enough that you know we can tolerate you right right um have the baby why don't you want a baby okay but get back to your baby weight you know what i mean it's like right what are all these rules we have on our bodies also can we just live and talk about it yeah you know we really talk in the movie oh like we talk like and yes yes i see why i see why that would offend some people yeah it's also like we play lifelong

friends from Queens and so I'm from Jersey she's from Long Island this is just how we speak to each other whatever and so people find that offensive when I say hello and truly because I'm married to a Dutch guy and I used to make a joke about it because he's like why are you so aggressive

I was like I just asked you how you wanted your eggs. Yeah. How do you ask it? How you want your eggs? That's aggressive. I think he only heard DMX. Whites. Whites.

That is an interesting point, though. You can make people uncomfortable just by forcing them to have a discussion. Yeah. I know you know. Now we got to talk about these issues. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Why do you think people are so afraid to sort of run into the burning building of conversation? I don't know. I think that we need to open it up. I think we need to set buildings on fire on purpose sometime just to have the discussion i think people don't want to be truthful though and i think they fear truth because with this society you get canceled for saying the wrong thing regardless of what you believe and so i think a lot of people they look at what social media goes to yeah then they follow like sheep which makes me wonder if you even believe what you say you believe because if you say you believe something, you would have no problem saying it and no problem discussing it.

I know. So it's almost like everyone has like a dual personality, who they are with their friends and who they are on social media. You know, it is hard, too, though, because social media is a revolving resume. So if you do speak truth to power, you could lose jobs and representation and friendships right and so you know i always thought the hardest part about being a parent would be like raising them the money the bullying the racism but also like trying to figure out how to teach my kids how to define their worth and power without likes and followers is something i don't even know how to wrap my mind around right now like i don't even know how like especially having four girls I don't even know how to wrap my mind around right now. Like, I don't even know how, like, especially having four girls.

I don't let them use social media. Oh. No. What? Mm-mm. I don't let them use it. Especially when you read all these stories

about how a lot of these big tech guys, they don't even let their kids use the chat phones. Right, right. And I'm reading this great book. Steve Jobs didn't even want his daughter to have a phone. Right, right.

They have a great book now called The Anxious Generation. That's right. And it just talks about how social media, and we knew this already, but it just really goes in depth on how Right, right. There's a great book now called The Anxious Generation. That's right. And it just talks about how social media, and we knew this already, but it just really goes in depth on how it's just

ruining people's mental, emotional health, especially kids. Right. So why would I, why would I let my kids use it? Are you on your phone around your kids?

Yes, but I try to practice good habits and not be. Yeah. So I try to just put it away. Yes. You know, especially like tonight, I'll be,

we got this cuddle time tonight. We'll be watching movies on the couch. Yes. Yeah, I love like tonight, I'll be, we got this cuddle time tonight. We'll be watching. Yes. Yeah. Come on, Moana. Let's go. I teach the older ones to use it as a tool,

right? Okay. I have a one that just graduated from NYU and she's 22. She's doing real estate. So I teach her how to use it as a tool to promote herself. I have a 20 year old who goes to university of Miami and I, you know, teach him how to use six, six. Okay. okay oh my goodness my wife been together 30 years so god

bless you but the younger ones not you know but they're into dance so but that's how they communicate with their dance friends because they send each other dances through youtube but as long as it's private i don't have a problem with it but i tell them teaching to use it as a tool okay and they've been pretty good with it and not letting it affect them and and i think that's the best and even conversations around sex the male gays and even on their sexuality if they like want to wear a bra or not in a crop top and stuff is that something that you you leave to your wife or do y'all do it together or sometimes you do it too like because you can't stop doing it you got to keep having that conversation right for me it's my wife okay

but i give my kids the jokes regardless like they give me jokes i give them jokes it is whatever it is but when it comes to that sex conversation my wife definitely a thousand percent leads and i just fall into place right it's still uncomfortable like my daughter's 22 and it's like she has a boyfriend i don't want to know if y'all having problems whatever go talk to mom can you look at the boyfriend and know if he's a good dude he is a good dude okay I do like him

they actually the last semester they've been staying at my house same bedroom same bedroom wow dad you're so progressive love you dad

but I'm going to tell you why I was 30 years old in separate bedrooms and so we were married you know why me and my wife we were together we were together in college

she went to Old Dominion and I went to Hampton University. So my last year, my parents and her parents were like, yo, they're always together. Why are we paying for separate places? Put them together. Weren't y'all married though? In college? No.

I thought you got married early. No, we got married at 22 but we were in college. 19, 20, 21. We were together. I mean, it took me longer to graduate college, but I do appreciate that. Yeah, so they do stay in the same bed and he does stay

and I like him because I can see how he's around the other kids. I see how he's around when he's with my wife. If groceries come, he's grabbing the groceries. If there's dishes there,

he's washing the dishes. He's thoughtful. You're giving him free room and board. He better. But you can't teach thoughtfulness. No, you can you just have it you know right and i always said i don't need to marry somebody rich i just need somebody with ambition and who's thoughtful because money can always come that's right you felt you always you still feel that way now yeah okay yeah i do were y'all intentional about the men you chose to be in a film like this?

So you got Hasan Minhaj and Oliver Platt and John Carroll Lynch. Were you intentional? Hasan was intentional, for sure. And also, like, you know, in comedy and in this movie and in my experience, it's all so derived from real people that I know who've been doing it and in comedy for so long.

So Hasan, I called and asked. Yeah, and I've known him for a really long time we used to do the road together we did colleges together because they would book us for like black history month lol and he also is you know working with two kids right and so it was nice that we all brought our tired parent experience and added comedy to it and he's such a good act he's such a good actor it He's such a good actor. Such a good actor. It's nice to see comedians in a different light. I know.

He really gave the heft to his character, too. And he's not just this great husband who's so happy to be there. He's also annoyed. He's exhausted. It's a lot. He's upset or whatever. He was great.

And the other guys kind of came later. Oliver Platt. That was really cool. kind of came later. Oliver Platt, that was really cool. Real New York cast. Oliver Platt, John Carlin, Sandra Bernhardt, crazy.

On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all. Oh, she just put on her messy visions period oh i'm about to report those messy vision dot com y'all make sure i get them all right transgendered student booed a high school uh runner you did yeah i did um a high school runner won a state title over the weekend but instead of people celebrating they uh they booed yeah so uh aiden gallagher competed in the girls 200 meter finals. Aiden was originally trailing in second place and got a gust of energy that pushed Aiden to the finish line in the first place. People started booing immediately.

They also booed when Aiden received prize notes and the family of Aiden. They weren't happy about it. So Aiden was a young man who transitioned into a woman correct and then he raced against the women correct yeah yeah if I was somebody's father I'd probably be going to if I was a father of a daughter out there on the track I'd probably be going to she was behind too she was behind it what she was behind and came right back up and won yeah cause they they say that Aiden had a

second gust of wind yes so yeah he just decided to run fast he just decided to probably I'll go slow jogging

remember on Incredibles when they was like Dash don't run too fast so he was trying to figure it out right just stop playing we've dusted these bitches

stop playing what dust these bitches stop playing talk about that's exactly what it seemed like that's exactly what happened a lot of them didn't think it was fair that Aiden ran in the girls race and this is an ongoing debate where people believe that trans women have an unfair advantage

when competing against biological women because they are just naturally stronger so i mean we've seen it before we've seen it with that one swimmer he he swam as a man and i think he was like in 200th place and then he swam as a woman he came in first she swam as a woman and came in first so yeah it is unfair i don't got time to debate about this today my new book is out get honest and die lying watch small talk sucks available everywhere now you buy books congrats yes okay this is just for the master of souls qz um spotify releases a hundred great hip-hop songs on streaming era um i thought this was really really dope

to see that because this is hip-hop you know which is always the last category in things they don't ever really like to give hip-hop the props that it needs but spotify defines the streaming era as a time that frames um as a time frame that spanned from 2015 until present day and the criteria for the list is based on quality impact replay value influence and cultural significance number one is all right by kendrick lamar number two all time yeah that well of the screaming of the streaming era since 2015 to um to now um yeah it's so new i don't i know brand new yeah yeah but they're keeping up with it and then um number two was bodak yellow number three god's back god's plan by drake number four xo life xo tour life by little uzi three chop on air march madness um bad and bougie sicko mode mo mo bamba i just that's what i don't know that's by shack west but that's the only one

on here i don't know you know you know what if you hit i probably did I'm old old she knew exactly what I meant the cadence but that's not how you say it I'm old and then number 9 Pop Smoke Ticket with Dior and then number 10 was Lucid Dreams by Juice World that's amazing y'all listen I just want to shout out

Cardi B her Spotify streams 890 million wow 123,178 so that's really really dope like yeah they just sent her

a plaque for a billion they did yeah so they probably rounded it up yeah but I mean it makes sense that's amazing because that was a moment

that was a moment so shout out to her man that's really dope and hip hop became the number one music genre in the US in 2017 so it only makes sense. Okay, cool. Monique says Chelsea Handler's joke isn't coincidence.

Monique shared a video of Chelsea Handler's joke on a Netflix special for Kevin Hart's Mark Twain Prize. And here's how great Kevin is. He said, no problem, Chelsea. I got you. I'll just get you a gig on my movie i said great behind the camera in front i don't care i'll direct it if i have to he said i got you chelsea i got you and that's when i learned that if you ask kevin for a favor you can always count on hearing these three words i got you and then you can count on never hearing from him again that's ridiculous so uh monique shared

that same clip that y'all just heard uh with the caption hey my sweet babies what are the odds that both chelsea handler and i will share the same experience with kevin hart but we're both lying huh i love us for real so monique feels that way because if you recall when she was on club she shared a story about kevin ghosting her after he promised to work with her. Right. So the problem is Monique's clip completely takes Chelsea's joke out of context. So here's the full joke. During COVID, I was desperate to get to Canada and it was for a very important reason. I needed to ski. Chelsea, Chelsea. Canada. Shut up, Kevin. Canada had very strict rules at the time.

But when I looked on Instagram, I noticed that Kevin was filming a movie up in Canada. So I called Kevin and I told him, I don't know what your secret is, but I need your help getting across the border. And here's how great Kevin is. He said, no problem, Chelsea, I got you. I'll just get you a gig on my movie. I said, great. Behind the camera, in front, I don't care. i'll direct it if i have to he said i got you chelsea i got you and that's when i learned that if you ask kevin for a favor you can always count on hearing these three words i got you and then you can count on never hearing from him again that's ridiculous so it turns out that the role wasn't even real that was just a way for chelsea to get into canada so she can ski um i just want to say shout out to kevin for being a black man helping a white woman get into another country um monique's fans must have seen the full video and they started commenting um to monique's post to inform her that she was looking a little crazy man some of the comments was crazy they were saying she was making a joke of you it went over your head just delete this

somebody else said it's time to delete this mo she was talking about you she shaded you and you reposted it um and then another one the last one i'm gonna read that woman is mocking your interview ma'am so monique doubled back and edited her caption and just added it has come to my attention that the joke is on me uh with a foot with a few emojis and said i love us for real but that's what happened when you reach man it's just like just leave things alone. Yeah. I mean, not to mention Chelsea told the joke while they were honoring Kevin.

So clearly it was a joke. Absolutely. Yeah. But that is Jess with the mess. And I'm right on time, y'all. There you go, Jess. Hurry it. All right, Charlamagne, who you getting that down with?

There's a former Boston Red Sox player named Austin Maddox. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. Okay. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes. You are a donkey. The Florida Man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.

Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. It's a breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day. With Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Oh, no, Duval. It's not me, it why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Oh, no, Duval. It's not me. It's y'all. Okay, donkey of the day for Tuesday, May 21st,

goes to former Boston Red Sox player Austin Maddox. Now, let the record show Austin Maddox is a Jacksonville native. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and Austin Maddox is no exception. Austin Maddox retired from baseball in 2020. He decided to pursue a career in entertainment, and he just landed a role on the reboot of To Catch a Predator.

What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? He just landed a role on the reboot of To Catch a Predator. Well, let's go to News 4 Jacksonville for the report, please. Day and night for five days, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office led a multi-agency takedown of men trying to have sex with children. The solicitations began online, behind a cell phone or computer. Then the men began having conversations with their intended target. This undercover operation began on April 24, 2024. Sheriff T.K. Waters revealed 27 men were arrested for trying to have sex with kids.

In most cases, the men thought they were talking to a 14-year-old girl until they met JSO face to face. A shock to the baseball world. Among the arrested, former UF and Red Sox baseball player Austin Maddox. This is video of Maddox going to a house where he thinks he's about to meet a teen girl, but instead, he's met with the men of JSO, taken down and arrested. Maddox got a weird case. Why is he around? This is the only man in the history of baseball to make it to the majors and beg to get sent back to the minors.

Okay, there is a movie that came out in 1998 that could absolutely be the name of austin maddox biopic and it's titled major league back to the minors okay the thing that is so interesting about these kinds of stories is you have to find them right these aren't the kind of headlines that find you for some strange reason stories like austin maddox don't take on a life of their own the algorithm just seems to not circulate them as much as they do other stories but if a former boston red socks major league baseball player is being accused of soliciting sex over the internet from people who they believe to be children it's worth a discussion now i looked up some of his stats and i really don't even know how he ever had a major league

career because his baseball pitch velocity was 69 miles per hour which ironically would be amazing for a 14 year old girl playing softball before a grown-ass man in major league baseball not so much if they ever refer to austin maddox as a freak of nature on the baseball field it's not because of his athletic ability now he may be a freaky ass pitcher when he's a free man but you go to prison for having sex with minors or trying to have sex with minors you're gonna become a catcher now to be fair he was never really built for the major leagues he made his mlb debut in 2017 after spending several years inside uh minors i mean the minor leagues just to be clear but a persistent shoulder injury denied him the chance to play and he was released from the team in 2019 retiring shortly

after i don't know if this guy was good or not okay he was good enough to get to the majors but injuries kept him from being great but maybe just maybe he should have spent more time in the dugouts working on his pitch instead of pitching the teens to get the dugout now his defense attorney james hill said he intends to fight the allegations against him and will enter a plea of not guilty should formal charges be filed. How are you going to plead not guilty when there is a whole correspondence between you and the girl you thought was 14? They got you, Austin. OK, you began communicating with an agent who was pretending to be an underage girl on April 28th. You were informed the girl was 14.

You expressed your intent to have sex with her. You then agreed to meet her at the prearranged location and you are arrested at said location okay you are arrested at the location y'all agreed to meet at how is that not guilty furthermore i can't believe we live in a society where the catcher predator exists and predators are still getting caught in the wild the predators are supposed to be the small ones why aren't y'all evolving okay d.a james hill you're wasting your time your client got caught and there is absolutely zero reason that a grown man should be trying to seventh inning

stretch out anybody underage. He is charged with four felony counts including traveling to meet okay, said minor after using a computer to solicit a child. Look, man. Austin, you need to keep your screwballs to yourself and worry about getting to first base with somebody your own

age. Do prisons still have baseball teams? I don't think so. You don't think so? No. Oh. Well, Austin, let us know when you get there. Please let Remy Ma give Austin Maddox the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! You stupid mother******. Are you dumb? Alright, well, thank

you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. If you haven't seen the video, them tackling him looks crazy. Well, he he's a baseball player. It's not like he was a football player. You're right. OK. All right. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. Our good friend, our co-host over here, our brother Charlemagne's new book is out right now. Get honest or die lying. Yes. Why? Small talk sucks. You know, this book is for anybody who is uh tired of lying to themselves and not just lying to themselves but volunteering their lives to other people but

this book is also for people who hate small talk like i do so let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 we were asking how do you avoid small talks now this conversation came from actually jess laris's welcome to the breakfast club party and if you look at Charlamagne's Instagram there's a picture of Charlamagne taking a picture

and a gentleman by the name of Shabugi talking to Charlamagne in his ear now the first time I met

Shabugi it didn't seem like it seemed like you knew each other for years and he said he was your

man's though Envy who's man's me he was like man Envy I'm the best

host in the city boy he did say that but he was talking to Charlamagne all night and you could see it from Charlamagne's face he wasn't talking to Me? He's like, man, I'm the best host in the city, boy. He did say that. Oh, my gosh. Close to look the shot, boogie. But he was talking to Charlamagne all night, and you could see it from Charlamagne's face. He wasn't talking to me all night. He just wanted to be left alone.

We had a conversation in that moment, and it wasn't even that I just wanted to be left alone. It wasn't that, because I enjoyed the conversation. I just didn't know what he was talking to me about. After a while, it was like... He said Sexy Red had big calf muscles. Yeah, but that was so random, because that's not the first thing he said. They was talking at first and then he just started saying stuff. Right.

Yeah. So, 800-585-1051. How do you avoid small talk? So, I had to look up what small talk actually meant. The definition of small talk, right? Your penis. What? Oh, my goodness.

What did he say? He said your penis. What? What happened now? Anyway, how would you know that know that sir but that's another question for another day now 805 85 and i'm not small by the way i just want to throw that out there okay big talk big talk so small talk refers to the informal polite light conversations people have when they don't have anything else to say or they don't have anything else to say or they don't know each other well and that is the point right there when you don't have

anything to say i'm not with that okay if you don't have anything to say don't say nothing at all we say that about you know when what is uh if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all if you don't have anything to say don't say nothing at all because that's just silly right like i want i want to talk about things. Right. That's what is in this book. This book has topics that if you are in a situation where you feel like you have to make small talk, just draw from one of these topics in the book.

So, 800-585-1051, and they're saying the best topics for small talk are usually weather, sports, celebrity gossip, which is probably why he went to Sexy Red's Cavs. I don't have nothing about no weather or no sports in my book. In hometown. Those are the best topics for small talk. I got celebrity gossip in hometown. What do you mean hometown? Hometown only matters if you from my hometown.

Well, I guess that's small talk. If you run into somebody and you want to create a small talk, that's usually, oh, you from Queens? I'm from Queens. I'm from New York. I'm the best host in the city. XMV. You're the best host in the city.

There you go. Yo, Sexy Red Cavs calf muscles big as hell, yo. What? So 800-585-1051. How do you get out of small talk? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club all right morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us charlamagne his book is out today get honest or die lying why small talk sucks yes my third book is out today. And this book is all about people who want to start being honest with themselves. Because if you're honest with yourself, you'll stop volunteering lies to other people. And it's just about how I hate small talk.

That's right. Not just the literal form of like chit-chatter, but literally when people have nothing to really talk about. So they just make things up. But also how we turn a bunch of micros into macros nowadays. So we make these small things big issues. And then when the big issues come across our desk, we don't deal with them at all. Don't even know how to talk about them. Right.

Well, that is the question. 800-585-1051. Let's start with you, Jess. Small talk. How do you avoid it? How do you get out of it? I just walk away. Just walk away?

But I have a very expressive face. So people will know. They be knowing sometimes. Like, okay, shoot on this. Even at my party, there's a lot of, of course, white people who work for iHeart or probably not. And then they were asking, like so like oh my god you know like just just talking and i just was like yeah and they were like yeah you probably don't care you know because it's it's all in your face your disposition how you express yourself and then

like some people i do just walk away from just walk away jess is very good at avoiding small talk because not just her facial expressions she'll just straight up tell you you're doing too much and there's nothing wrong with that. I think that that is the type of boundary you should set when you don't want to have any meaningless conversation. Yeah, I'm with Jess.

I'll walk away. I'll just walk. I'll walk away. I'm that guy. I'll just look. I can't. But there's times when you can't walk away, right?

Why not? Like when you're on a plane and you're sitting next to somebody. That's when you tell them. But that's, you know, what I usually do in that situation. I cough. I just start coughing.

Oh my God. And usually they don't want to talk to you at that point because they usually think you have COVID or something like that. So they just, they don't want to talk to you. Or I act like I'm falling asleep. When they're talking, I close my eyes, like I start nodding off.

Yeah. And then they'll be like, oh, you're tired. Yes, I am. And that usually. That is crazy. I would never cough, but. What's wrong with your mouth though? Meaning like, why can't you just tell the person,

hey man, I'm a little tired right now. I want to get some sleep. Because sometimes that doesn't work. Sometimes that hurts. Because they just keep talking. What's wrong with your mouth though? Meaning like Why can't you just tell the person Hey man I'm a little tired right now I want to get some sleep Because sometimes that doesn't work Why not? Because they just keep talking But Envy don't like Hurting people's feelings too

Like He don't like that You can tell like He don't really like Hurting people's feelings deliberately But I feel like being honest Jeff is like

But I do It's not It won't be hurting nobody's feelings I'm being honest with you like Yo I don't even want to talk right now. That's why I got this first class seat. So I can kick back, chill.

I got a lot of things to do. What is the title of the book? Get Honest or Die Lying. Why are you lying to people? That's silly. Just tell them. Now they think you got COVID. Yes.

Now I'm like, can I move my seat? Because I can't get my money back. So what do you do, Charlamagne? Literally all the things that Jess said. I will tell somebody straight up, like, look, we don't have to do this right now.

And this is honestly what the book is giving you permission to do. It's giving you permission to say, hey, we don't have to do this right now. We don't have to make meaningless conversation. And if you do want to have

a conversation, I have topics in this book that you can discuss if you choose to this book is literally like a card game almost like you can just draw you know different topics from it to talk about because i'm not an expert at anything i just give my thoughts on things and then you know we open up the the floor for conversation just like we about to do right now with the phones so so when shabby was was all in your ear talking about sexy red's calf muscle i don't even

know how that came about yeah so so how did you get out of it i said nigga what and then he laughed and he you know he was just taking a picture yeah and then that was that and then the song came on he was trying he started dancing i started dancing and he was like chill the baby the baby i'm like yo yeah all the big girls be in the club doing this for no reason. Oh, my God. It's the funniest thing ever, yo. And all of this be jiggling, just the top. Oh, my goodness.

Getting out of small talk Now this conversation Came from two reasons actually One was Charlamagne's new book Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks That's right And the other was

Jess's It was her Welcome to The Breakfast Club Welcome to New York Party And there was a gentleman there Shabugi That was talking to Charlamagne And you can see

Charlamagne posted the picture He's talking to Charlamagne and you could see it. Charlamagne posted the picture. He's talking to Charlamagne about sexy Red's calves. I don't even know how y'all got there. We're doing Shah Boogie a little bit too dirty right now because Shah Boogie did have something he wanted to talk about.

Which was what? Sexy Red's calf muscle. That's small talk. That is very much small talk. I didn't want to have that conversation. But I was a tad bit intrigued because he was like, man, yo, sexy. You seen sexy Red's legs?

Sexy Red got some big ass calf muscles. So I was like, what? Right? Yeah. But then I realized I didn't want to hear no more. Right. Right. You know what I'm saying?

So then that's when. But I didn't have to set a boundary because Shaw was just like, he said that and then he was out. Yeah. And then the sexy Red song came on. That's right. And then they started dancing. Get it sexy.

Get it sexy. Salute to Shaw. But the problem with Shaw was everybody's watching the game. Right? Because the game was on. Yeah. We're all intrigued with the game. Yeah.

No disrespect. We didn't want to hear about her calf muscles at that time. Yeah. You got to know when to have small talk too. And that wasn't the time. No. You should never have small talk. We don't have time for it.

Sorry, Sha. He had something to drink, too. Shout out to Sha. He probably would have been a bit more reserved if he wasn't drunk. He was drunk, though. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Shamai calling from North Carolina. How you doing, DJ?

Emma Rose doubled down on why she supports trump okay and we'll get to that next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club the news is real She don't spare nobody. Worldwide jets, worldwide medicine. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shit. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

It's time to settle it all. All right, so Diddy and Cassie can't say each other's names. According to TMZ, Diddy and Cassie signed strict NDAs when they settled Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy. So the NDA prevents them from speaking about each other in public. So legally, they can't say each other's names. Diddy's legal team reportedly had closely reviewing his apology video before he posted it to make sure it was in compliance with the NDA. So, you know, when everybody was in the uproar about him not being able, I mean, not even saying anybody's name,

that's what they used. Well, you could have said to the woman I heard in the video, I apologize. But also, I feel like Diddy's team is missing the point. Y'all lied.

Oh, yeah. You lied up until that video and never even acknowledged that you lied to people. You said that it was a cash grab that you lied to people. You said that it was a cash grab and people were money hungry. You lied up until that video.

But people are also saying that he should at least apologize to Cassie and I guess that was his reason for not saying Cassie's name. But that ain't the reason people tripping off that video. No, not at all. I mean, of course not. Your PR team is horrible. They're a crisis management team. They are horrible. And he he literally referenced the video he just didn't reference her in the video yeah so boom um savannah high school student graduates from college before getting high

school diploma so when i read the headline i was like dang how you do that i did not know that you can actually take college courses while you're in high school um so this is actually something good for you know all the girls and guys out there who want to start college early you can take them for free she did what now she she when she was in high school she started taking college courses uh for free and um she started with a dual enrollment and she decided to get an associate's degree she She was able to complete her degree at Savannah State University while still attending high school. That's amazing. And now she is considering an HBCU to continue her education, and she aspires to become a cardiothoracic surgeon,

which focuses on chest organs, including heart, lungs, esophagus, and trachea. That's dope. Drop on the Clues Bonds for that young lady. Niali Scott is her name. Congratulations to her. Sal salute to her and her parents man wow super dope and this also brings awareness to things that people like me didn't know i didn't know that you could take college courses in high school for free now i know people do it for in the summertime but i didn't know you can get an associate's that's a lot like during yeah during um during high school and it goes towards your credit if you want to get like a four-year. If you want to do four years.

My kid's in trouble now. Oh, God. Please don't go home and tell them that they have to do college courses at high school. That's right. All right. Amber Rose defends supporting Trump. Amber Rose recently shared a picture standing with Donald and Melania Trump with the caption saying, Trump 2024. She looks very happy millennia trump with the caption saying trump 2024

she looks very happy and jolly with the couple people started to criticize amber rose for supporting trump because he opposes a lot of the causes that she advocates for amber rose responded to the criticism saying y'all think biden cares about black people said do your research i did i always put women first y'all want biological men and women sports trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion stop being brainwashed because we are people of color make your own decisions okay and then the internet did what they do and they started digging up old tweets from amber rose because they can never let anything go and this was when she was against trump so back a couple years back she said trump think he's slick

showing up to the women's march in la and she posted this this was her caption that she posted with a picture of garbage on the street and then she also uh said man f that uh she no she wasn't talking about trump but she referenced trump and whoever she was talking about she said man f the fact that he's old and f the fact that he was on tv he is a sexual predator just like trump and harvey i hope they get their day as well and um her mind changed yeah absolutely this was back in 2018 so about six years ago um people have changes of heart man change of heart and she actually i guess she she down with all this man policies You know what I'm saying

Yeah I mean my thing is Why do we care If that's who she chooses to support I don't care If you support Trump I don't care If you support Biden I don't care Vote your interests Vote who you feel

Will do the best job Come November I hate when people do that too Where they'll take a tweet from Five years ago or seven years ago But like this is what you said seven years ago. Maybe that's what my mind frame was seven years ago. And she changed.

And like you said, she's probably voting her interests in whatever it may be. It's changed for her. And people act like things, they act like things, I guess things do run parallel. You know, because for some strange reason, we live in like this multiverse where like tweets from five, six, seven years ago, people still act like that's you. That's the same. Yeah. Like have a conversation.

Yeah. Ask, why did your views change? Why does it matter? That's her views. That's her. That's what she is. I agree. She's also been doing a lot of like self-help work and all of that type of stuff, too, because like if you look at her interviews from around uh 2018 2019 as to her interviews now she definitely has a lot of growth and she was

going through a lot over those years and um i want to give amber a shout out for real for just coming a long way for real her and uh black china well she doesn't go by black china anymore but angela white and they're actually back cool now so that was just a little fun fact but yeah she's definitely not the same person as she used to be so yeah and then people can change and then also people can change their mind and then also damn pregnancy brain what the hell is it

what the hell is it oh yeah yeah yeah just cause somebody don't agree with the majority of whatever is going on that does not make them a bad person they saying ass up in these comments are who you choose to support politically don not make them a bad person they say how asap in these comments are who you choose to support politically don't make you a bad person yeah but imagine me fighting you over what white man you choose to support okay right we should be voting for issues not individuals anyway period so and that's more what her standpoint is about the issues

Why small talk sucks. Available everywhere. You purchase books now. So is the audio book. And this book is for everybody who is tired of lying to themselves and they're tired of volunteering those lies to other people. And this book is also for folks who cannot stand small talk like I do. I hate it. And always remember, when you set up the boundary that you don't want to have small talk, if someone throws a fit because you set that boundary, it's just more evidence the boundary is needed.

Have a blessed day. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or y'all done?
