Starting point is 00:06:33 page news and don't go anywhere it's our 100th episode on BET it's the breakfast poke morning morning everybody it's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious. We are The Breakfast Club. And let's get in some front page news. What up, Tiz? What's going on, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. Let's jump right into it. They caught him, huh? They finally caught him.
Starting point is 00:06:57 After nearly two weeks on the run, the escape murderer that we watched crab walk up the wall to escape is finally caught. Let's take a listen breaking news danilo cavalcante is finally captured the 14-day manhunt is over his heat signature was detected by aircraft in a wooded area in south coventry township he was taken into custody with the help of a police dog at around eight o'clock this morning state police were assisted by border patrol u.s marshF, and Customs in that search. He will now head to SCI Phoenix Prison in Montgomery County. I wonder if he exhausted all his energy trying to figure out how to escape,
Starting point is 00:07:34 but didn't have no plan after the escape. He definitely didn't have a plan. Clearly he had zero plans. He got out, which was amazing. Yeah, what if he didn't know that he could really do that? Word. Like... Well, you know what they said?
Starting point is 00:07:43 They said an inmate escaped, I guess you said a couple of weeks before that or a couple of months before that. So he knew the route. He knew how to get out. But once he got out, he didn't figure out what he was going to do after that. Right. He had no plan. Like Jeff said, though, he probably didn't know that he really was going to get out for
Starting point is 00:07:57 real. Yeah. Man. So once you out, you're like, that's like, man. He did stay out two weeks, though. That's a long, you know, he stayed out two weeks. He escaped a gunfire. Wow. That's not good for law enforcement.
Starting point is 00:08:08 The fact that he got out, he had no real plan. He looked beat up and battered. He looked tight. He looked like he wanted to go back. Like, please come get me. Please come get me. So it looked like they should have caught him two weeks ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Honestly. Especially since there was over 500 agents that was looking for him they made sure to point out he had a philadelphia eagles uh shirt on uh when he was called but yeah he looked he looked worn out probably relieved like you know it's finally over i would assume and they posed for a picture with him like he wasn't out nine days you know you didn't see the picture no i didn't all the police officers told him it took y'all nine days to catch that man. There ain't nothing to be taking pictures about. The dog bit him
Starting point is 00:08:47 on the top of his head. That's why he bleed? That's why he bleed. Oh, okay. And I mean, just to point out again, this just shows that it is possible
Starting point is 00:08:55 to apprehend somebody without shooting them in the back. Just thought I'd put that on out there. Now let's talk about this Georgia gas tax. Yeah, Governor Kemp,
Starting point is 00:09:04 Governor Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency and temporarily suspended the state's tax on gasoline in an effort to reduce the impact of inflation. Because, by the way, inflation is still happening. He claimed that the actions were in response to policies coming at the federal level. He said that President Joe Biden has caused Georgians to feel the brunt of negative economic conditions. Now, the executive order went into effect on yesterday it goes through october 12th and they said it's going to save georgians around 31 cents per gallon uh and 35 cents on diesel fuel so this is really important guys uh the consumer was just released that the Consumer Price Index rose 3.7 percent and that the gasoline prices have jumped 10 percent in August following a 2 percent increase in July. So this is a very real thing. And Governor Kemp, a shout out to him for taking action on it.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, it's very nasty out there as far as inflation, as far as the prices that keep increasing on everything, not just gas on food, on everything. So I think they should suspend this all over the place and let people try to get their selves back together first because it's very expensive for a lot of people out there well that's a great point that you mentioned uh in 2022 president biden did call on congress this is why i'm always pushing about state and local government because the governor can go inside an executive order like he did here also uh ron de santis you know as much as folks don't like him and have a lot of reasons to not like him he did the same thing you know people were struggling with gas went in made an executive order say you know biden's not doing anything let's reduce the the gas when joe biden asked to do this in 2022
Starting point is 00:10:40 uh congress couldn't make it happen and a lot of folks, including Nancy Pelosi, was like, well, you know, we don't know if this is really going to help or not. So again, Democrats, this is why a lot of folks didn't like it when Governor Kemp won, when he beat Stacey Abrams. Well, he passed out Kemp cards during COVID. He gave folks money, put money in their pockets. So just remember
Starting point is 00:10:59 this when Kemp runs for president, probably in 2028. These are the type of things that people actually remember that make a difference. Money in their pockets. And Democrats are sitting around trying to figure it out. And meanwhile, they're signing executive orders on the state level. And that's crazy because you just said that the
Starting point is 00:11:16 inflation went up 3.7% and the medium household income has fell to 74,000, which is 4,000 less than 2019. But yet the Biden administration is bragging about the economy. You know what I mean? If people don't feel it directly impact their pockets positively or negatively, they don't want to hear nothing about their economy. Yeah, because it feels like crime is up.
Starting point is 00:11:36 And I know people say, well, crime is down and they play with the numbers. Well, murder is down, but robbery is up. So, yeah, but it feels like crime is up. It feels like all the prices for everything is rising like crazy. It's not a feel. It is. Yeah. And that's what I was even saying that about even with what I do,
Starting point is 00:11:53 me being a stand-up comedian on tour. I remember when, like, people was like, oh, no, it ain't going to affect the rich people or the people that make a lot of money. It does because we need the people who have nine-to-fives and the people that the gas going up, everything up you're not going to money to go to no shows right so they don't have no extra change everybody yeah it does oh you know you got to pick and choose if i'm gonna go see jess or i'm gonna go see beyonce definitely come see me i'm gonna go see jess or i'm gonna see drake you know yeah go see drake yeah and i just i just want to
Starting point is 00:12:23 put this on the record because again this is really important you know democrats last year again i just want to put on the record uh speaker nancy pelosi said she was worried that all companies and retailers uh may uh may pocket much of the savings but the bottom line is people need the relief so again this is one of those things where democrats and republicans including democrats so y'all say we take it so easy on, but this is one of those times where Democrats had an opportunity to make people feel this impact and decided to side with
Starting point is 00:12:52 the energy companies. That's just the bottom line. Where them dollars at? Put some money in people's pockets. Help people save some money. That's what they remember. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. We'll see you in a couple of minutes. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:27:16 not true we have audio it is true red plate just started off by saying that tanisha was her favorite from bad girls club and that um i shouldn't be running Bad Girls Club over at Zeus. That's how it started. Then the second thing was when Krishan and Blueface's show came and, you know, my name's in the credits as an executive producer. She went on to say Natalie is exploiting Krishan and making all this money off of her. And there's a whole thing on YouTube if you Google it. Like, she just went on a rant. And so I'm like, how am I exploiting her?
Starting point is 00:27:47 The only thing I would correct Jess on is not just you exploiting her, it's let me too. First of all, I love Jess. She's great. Oh, God. I have an issue with Jess. I don't have an issue. I mean, last time we saw her, I told her to get the f*** out of our section.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Well, you guys were getting into it. I was trying to calm her down and I was like, hey, well, you know, she... Who, Jess and Natalie? Yeah, she was randomly walking into our section just trying to grab our bottle. And I was like, hey, well, you know, she. Who, Jess and Natalie? Yeah, she was randomly walking to our section just trying to grab our bottle and drink. Like, you were just talking shit. No, no. Like, you were just talking shit.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Who wants to smoke? Me. Wow. Jess, she kicked you out of her section? First of all. That's not what I got from that story. She is lying. What did you get from that story before I correct that?
Starting point is 00:28:22 That you came in the section to see what's up because you were a troublemaker and you took her by the problem no i did not yo took it on purpose like i'm gonna drink this mine now first of all no no no no i would never i don't even do that i had my own section which was sitting in front of them we were right in front of the stage and then zeus was right behind us what happened this was at tycoon weekend if uh 50s weekend in houstonston last year um baddies came through and two girls had walked through my section jackie long was escorting them in um two of them walked through now they were drunk i did tell the one girl don't walk through my section walk around
Starting point is 00:28:55 it so she mugged me just kept walking but they little girls so i'm like i'm not tripping as long as she don't do nothing i just walk around so they had to come back out come back in they walked through again I mushed the girl Jackie Long like yo chill don't don't I mushed her she ran over there and told Natalie what happened like Natalie was her father or something and I'm like yo you don't do that so why you say like Natalie was her mother why oh yeah it could have been either one I'm sorry but she ran over there like like no I didn't even go over there i saw that happen natalie look that's when she saw me bobby lights who i like is he's cool he came over and was like jazz you want to take
Starting point is 00:29:31 a shot with us when i take a shot and i was like yeah whatever that's cool i wanted to go over there anyway exactly that's fine exactly i went over there and he was pulling me a section i never had the bottle in my hand she he grabbed a bottle and he was pulling you a whole section he was pouring me a section. I never had the bottle in my hand. He grabbed the bottle. He poured you a whole section? He was pouring a shot. No. I went over to the section. He was pouring a shot and Adelie in the back,
Starting point is 00:29:50 hold up, who's that? No, no, she ain't not. At first, she not drinking from my bottle. First of all, it was one bottle for 10 girls. So it was like, it was only enough for one of y'all to take a swig one time anyway. I'm not going to do that,
Starting point is 00:30:01 but I did just come over there to get worked up. So she, what's up, what's up? The chair she was sitting in was very tight so she couldn't get up so she gave up and she never got up so I'm like what's up then and I walked past Bobby LaMelle grabbed me like no no come on let's take a picture let's take now let's take a picture no he's like you need to calm down whatever whatever so he de-escalated the situation them and
Starting point is 00:30:21 their secure him and their security and I went back to my section and that was it we took the party outside that was it so i was absolutely right you came to our section to see what's up because you were troublemaker nah she got invited to drink and she said sure bobby lights out shut up she used that as an excuse to go over there because you wanted to go over there anyway and whether bobby was trying to be sneaky or trying to instigate something i don't think so. He just wanted to come up and I took the invite. I'm like, okay, cool. And then that was it.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I walked up in there like, what's up? But I never touched that bottle trying to drink it. Y'all ain't got no reason to have no issue. No, we don't have an issue. I just don't particularly care for her. Or were you just critiquing the show? Yeah, and Natalie, yeah, I said that Tanisha is my favorite bad girl because she is my favorite bad girl. And yes, I did give you some flag about you exploiting the girl, Krishan.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And I also did say, let me, if people don't like Mona Scott Young, they can't like LaMelle. I agree. But that's it. That was it. That was all. Okay. Bow Wow admits he regrets missing prom and college due to fame. On Wednesday, Bow Wow took to his Instagram stories with a message about his desired experiences like going to prom, going college and joining a fraternity yo this next line is crazy according to the 36 year old people think

Yeah, he didn't get to have like a childhood right childhood because you know he misses the experience he probably goes out when they shut out the hbcus and the college he misses those experiences you know he was a childhood star early so absolutely that's why michael jackson was put on and i'm not comparing michael jackson to bow wow yeah that's why michael jackson will put on disguises and just want to go walk around a grocery store.

Starting point is 00:34:39 Let's jump right into it. Let's talk about this Texas student that was suspended over his hair. Yeah, a black Texas high school student has been suspended for more than a week because of his lock hairstyle. It violated the district's dress code. It could be a test of the new discrimination that they're banning these hairstyles across Texas. But Daryl George, he's a junior at Barbers Hill High School, received multiple disciplinary action about his hair. And so finally, he refused to take it down so they gave him a suspension now they said this is the same week that the crown act went into
Starting point is 00:35:11 effect now the crown act is a law prohibiting discrimination based upon one's hair texture or protective hairstyle such as locks and braids that went into effect shout out to one of my partners sherlock's kitchen cabinet that pushed the Crown Act to pass, which it did. But this did not violate the Crown Act because it says that this particular violation was because male students, their hair cannot extend below the eyebrows or below the earlobes. So it's not a violation of the Crown Act, but it is in violation of this policy. policy so the question now is should there be amendments to the to the crown act uh to cover men and their hair going below you know their eyebrows or below their earlobes i can't believe we're still having this conversation in 2023 about people's hair yeah that's crazy to me yep we we are still having this conversation in 2023 and as a side note i had to have the
Starting point is 00:36:01 conversation as well um with my my daughter know, when she was cheering and the requirements. I think I mentioned this before, the requirements of how your hair has to be, you know, in a very high ponytail. And a lot of the black girls, you know, had braids or, you know, had different styles that you just couldn't pull up. And she said, well, you know, that's the standard. And I would have to ask, well, what is the standard based upon? Whose hair is it based upon? So is a real thing uh that happens in these high schools real things that happen uh to these young men uh football players and uh people to play basketball they have different you know natural hairstyles that yes they still are fighting this at schools across the country for sure particularly in texas yeah i know uh even
Starting point is 00:36:39 with uh logan this girl i remember when he had corn rolls and he had a problem with his corn rolls when he when he first went to school. We didn't take him out, though. You know, it was what it was. But this is crazy. I'm still surprised we're having this conversation about hair. Yeah. But what did they say when you said they had problems? Was it against the uniform?
Starting point is 00:36:54 They said it was against the uniform. There was a couple of things, but we said, you know, this is his hairstyle. He wants to wear his hairstyle like that. You know, some of these kids have stupid looking, what's the mullet looking things i said i find that offensive those mullets seem offensive to me i don't like the way they look um and you can't tell them you're gonna get sued you can't tell them that uh you don't like it you don't like the way it looks why can't i they said they don't like the way my son's cornrows look yeah but it's because oh they said they wanted him to cut it because of the looks well because of i they said it was against policy but what's the policy if that school told
Starting point is 00:37:29 your son they don't they want you to cut it because they don't like the way it looks you got a huge lawsuit no well they said policy but what policy is it like right what policy is that words matter you say i don't like the way it looks but i said i don't like the way a mullet looks uh every time i see a mullet yeah that's not that's not a good enough and what offends you about a mullet that's all that's the kind of stuff that you get a multi-million dollar lawsuits from it for schools say that who say oh he looks suspicious I don't like his cornrows I don't like the way they look on the cut them oh cut them. Oh my god. Yeah. Well, that's basically what they're saying. I mean, when they're saying we don't like it, like, why? Explain why. You know, what is the standard of beauty
Starting point is 00:38:12 that you guys are, you know, holding it to? I had a real big thing with, like I said, with my daughter's cheerleading coach about it. Because what standard of beauty are you... Why not... A regular ponytail should be just fine. Why does it have to be a high, high ponytail? You know what I'm saying? You know, as a woman, you may not be unless your hair is in braids all throughout the year, which my daughter's hair was in braids. But I don't I shouldn't have to keep her hair in braids all year long to meet this standard of beauty that you think is only appropriate for cheerleaders. What is that based upon? It certainly was not including black people for sure. I don't see how you can include that as a policy of your company. You know what I'm saying? Because hair is hair. It's not even
Starting point is 00:38:48 like clothing. It's very broad. But let me ask you a question. Girls that, I don't know about cheerleading, but my girls who dance, they have to wear their hair in a pony. A high pony. It's like they have to. All the girls wear it like that. The thing is different textures, different lengths,
Starting point is 00:39:04 different, you know. What if somebody can't put their hair up because right there was one little girl that couldn't put it up it's not it wasn't the issue about the ponytail it's the high ponytail they want the ponytail to be like like just show them show them because i can't show like this yeah like up here no none of us like to struggle ponytail now we can all say that right we don't like the Scruggles ponytail. Yeah, some of the girls, their hair can't go up that way. Everybody don't want to put weave in their hair. Or the only way it was working is if, like I said, you keep braids.
Starting point is 00:39:34 What? You don't need to be big playing for yourself. Like, no, no, no, please. You cannot come here with that Scruggles ponytail. Please, it's against company policy. You remember, I had one. Yes, I do. Yeah, I knew it was coming.
Starting point is 00:39:47 But you was at home, though. Yeah, and I put it up there. Yeah, I went out, though. Why you took that picture, though? You went out somewhere with that? Because, I don't know. I don't know. That's when I was just reckless.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, I've always pointed that. I'm like, why did you just take this picture? Why did you post it? I don't know. I just put it out there. I was like, man, I'm me. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:40:06 All right. They got a lot of policies though like even with my daughter Chilean like she can't have she can't wear certain earrings because she got certain piercings yeah yeah that's certain times stuff like that but I don't know what it is it's fine different than hair yeah that's very yeah so totally different yeah and again she shouldn't have to wear braids we wear braids but if you wear braids all the time throughout the year, it can cause breakage in the hair. You know, it can damage my daughter's hair. So I shouldn't have to be forced.
Starting point is 00:40:30 A regular ponytail should be just fine. So that was a real fight, and we won, thankfully. But it's definitely low-level discrimination. All right. Well, that is front-page news. Thank you, Tiz. Absolutely. And make sure you subscribe to Tesla and Figaro's podcast,

Starting point is 00:41:56 i was trying to you know how you keep trying to go home and everybody call you like hey man just stop through here come through here come through here pop out thing at a birthday party last 30 yeah how many outfits you bring with you, because you stay clean. This was, I had to be very specific on this, but I think I brought about six outfits, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:14 and then I only wore four of them, so I got, so I go home with two outfits that I could just finish the week out with on some, like, oh, I'm still fresh. Six outfits for how many days, though? Three days. Damn.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Jesus Christ. Yeah, but you like, you're appearing on TV and stuff, so you don't really know, like, oh, I'm still fresh. Six outfits for how many days, though? Three days. Damn. Jesus Christ. Yeah, but you're appearing on TV and stuff, so you don't really know. I wore that all day, and then if I go out tonight, I don't want people to go, like, I saw you this morning. That was the night you got the same shirt on. Like, maybe, but you know what I mean? Gotcha. I don't have to do it like, girls really have to change a lot.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You know what I mean? But, you know, guys, we're not really required to flip outfits outfits that much but nowadays it is a fashion world right everybody kind of wants to know what the drip is yeah they see you all the time yeah exactly yeah well you got the flipping box cars book out man and i love that you flexing different creative muscles writing fiction novels yeah talk to us about flipping box cars what made you want to write a fiction novel you know what you know i was you know really hearing stories about my grandfather, but he had passed before I was even born. So, you know, we would hear things about our relatives, and then you start to get the lore of the family story. And that's what I did.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I started to really fictionalize what his life was like. And so, you know, these were real things that I heard from my mother and my uncles that, you know, he was, these were real things, you know, that I heard from my mother and my uncles that, you know, he was a businessman. You know, he was like, you know, the de facto mayor of the black side of town, this little small town. And then, you know, but at night he was a bootlegger and a gambler and a hustler and he was always being creative. And so I just kind of put those two worlds together to show them being like this loving father and husband. And then he had to go and do what he had to do to make you know make his dreams come true so he gets caught up in a caper it's like a crime caper where he's got to take this boot that liquor from a train so that's the boxcar trains and then he does the dice with the two sixes there's a box cars too so that's why he flipping box cars well that's the most important thing about the book right the dynamic because that is the black struggle in a lot of ways the fact that
Starting point is 00:44:08 yeah i'm a family man and i'm trying to do all of this for my family but i gotta go out there and get it by any means necessary sometimes don't make me a bad person that's right i mean we all you know as especially black men we kind of always relegated to that i mean even when we think about the people like make it in the music business or whatever, most of them have that other past where they was like street dudes, but we never saw them as that way. Like, we just appreciate that they're great artists and they did what they gotta do.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And so, you think about post-World War II, pre-civil rights, you know, black man, that's what I love the story is that he had traveled, he had been in the world, and then you come back to a pre-civil rights America. You just can't be put back in the same box. You know, once you left, you can't tell me I can't come through the front door, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I've been living in France for six months. You know, I've been doing this. We've been fighting in the war for the whole country. You don't tell me I got to go through the back like I don't, you know. So these kind of guys, they had that will to want to be great without but being relegated to the racism of the time you know now did you write this during the pandemic because where do you have time and when do you
Starting point is 00:45:12 have time to write a book yeah yeah that's when it got that's when it started for sure it took like two years we did that in yeah started it in late 2019 and then you know went through all the drafts and then you know then you time it out when you want to release it what gave you the idea to do it because it's like between comedy
Starting point is 00:45:29 at the time writing acting and everything that you were doing when did you say you know what it's time for but was it sitting at home doing nothing was like yeah i got i got something to do yeah you know the thing was is that you know like i've been developing tv shows for we've been producing a lot of shows my shows the johnson on Bounce. And so I was developing this as a TV idea when I first started. And so when you start thinking about then we had the opportunity to write a book
Starting point is 00:45:54 and I was like, oh, that'd be so much more fun to have that long form, develop the characters out, not to think about it in episodic ways where you gotta end the episode and then take you to the next. Here I then take you to the next. Here, I just introduce you to the characters, let the world live, and then hopefully people love it. Like even the way I ended, this got like three cliffhangers.
Starting point is 00:46:13 It's definitely a cliffhanger. So it's like, you know, you definitely want people to be like, what happened to the story? So, you know, I'm loving it. I liken it to Walter Mosley. You know, the Easy Rollins characters, the devil in the blue dress. I love that world. And that's what we, you know, I just kind of try to emulate Mosley. You know, the Easy Rollins characters, the Devil in the Blue Dress. I love that world and that's what we, you know, I just kind of try
Starting point is 00:46:28 to emulate that feel. That's what it was. When it comes to storytelling for you, what's the best way to tell a story? Stand-up, movies,
Starting point is 00:46:34 TV, or writing a fictional novel? You know, I mean, this book was really a great experience. I had never really, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:40 done a fictional novel and I mean, the idea and what it took and the way it turned out in my opinion i like loved this book i love the process i love telling people you know about it even when i did the audio book that's when i really recognized like damn this book dope like i was because i had to you know hear it back for the first time myself and then uh last night over in newark these kids they took an excer excerpt and acted it out on stage.
Starting point is 00:47:06 That also brought it to life. That was something very unique. They made a stage play out of an excerpt out of the book. So I think I want to do stuff like that as I'm promoting it to get people to understand what the book is really all about. So we ain't got great readers anymore. People love their audio books, which is dope, I think. But I definitely want to encourage people to go and read this and check it out. It's a cool adventure.
Starting point is 00:47:29 It tells a great story. You follow it. Characters are rich. It's interesting. How is the strike affecting you? Because, I mean, I'm sure you had plans for this to turn into a movie or, you know, a sitcom or something like that. So how is that with everything going on affecting you and your mental and, you know, because you've been working since you were young. Yeah, like a long time man but you know i mean the strike is it's just really gotten way longer than what we think and this guy it got really real for us the
Starting point is 00:47:54 other day because they like start pulling everybody production deals so the things that we used to have they shut all that down the other day so it's one thing to like not have work and it's another thing to now not be able to play your employees like people like they just really just shut it all down and so you know and you got people that's been with you working you love them you don't you got to figure out their well-being now so you know that those things became really real and i think that you know i don't know all the issues i just i do know that it's not enough transparency on the money side like you know we don't get to know what these companies make especially the streamers and so you know
Starting point is 00:48:29 the the evaluations of how they pay you what who's who's hot who's not is based off their own algorithms that they don't have to share so that becomes you know it becomes a challenge man when you're trying to negotiate and somebody can basically tell you what you're worth you you can't even figure out what you're worth they just tell you what you're worth you do you can't even figure out what you're worth they just tell you what you were you think you think hollywood would have a rebound from from all this because you got like you said actors that gonna have to do something else now because they got to pay their bills and it hasn't been 10 days it hasn't been a month we're looking at a you know a couple of months now like six almost yeah especially for the writers yeah i think that it'll it'll it's a resilient business. I mean, we've been through strikes before,
Starting point is 00:49:07 but I was saying to somebody, I recognize that really entertainment is one of our greatest exports as a country. In the United States, that's what we give the world. We don't make nothing no more. We don't do steel and textiles. We sell entertainment movies, big blockbusterbuster movies so it's a huge business that's not gonna go away they just got to figure out again how you share how you let creatives and
Starting point is 00:49:33 people who have ip they come in with ideas that they bring to the table and then y'all say all right let me give you this one check and then peace you out and with ai too that was the other thing you know like the idea that i can like take your intellectual property your idea your identity they want to take people's identities and duplicate them in ai and be like i appreciate you thank you can you know move on like that's cold-blooded you know these things have to be resolved and you know i guess they really they're much harder than they sound like people you know feel like and just give it up. But I guess if you was on the other side and you didn't have to pay nine people to write a script,
Starting point is 00:50:11 then you're not going to pay nine people. You're going to pay one and then put their computer on it. Your situation is unique, though, because you can just go back on the road. Yeah, I mean, stand-up is great, too. I mean, I love the opportunity that I got a live business, a live, you know, a live business. So that's dope. You know, that's a part of, like, the whole makeup. You got to keep stand-up alive. You know, a lot of people, when they get big, they stop doing that as a craft.
Starting point is 00:50:37 But I love to go out, man. We had a fun tour that we ended in May. Then you get out the way of all the music, actually. Like, you know, stand-ups. We don't even try when Beyonce them out there. They be like, Beyonce about to be on tour. You like, yes, ma'am. My cool. See you in the fall.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Yeah, Taylor, Drake, all the music acts. They tear you up, boy. You like, I ain't going out there with them. All right, we got more with Cedric the Entertainer. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Cedric the Entertainer. He has a new book that's out right now. Charlamagne? Now, the book, right? The Flippin' Box Cause. What life lessons can somebody learn from Roland Dice?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Oh, man. Now, for Roland Dice, really, it is, you know, I think that the idea of Roland rolling dice is the experiment of looking at what's your chances to actually accomplish what this goal that you want. It is a stroke of luck, but, you know, people love to play those angles, the numbers, the chances, and they bet against themselves, against the others. They bet against the table at times. And sometimes in life, I think we gotta make those kind of challenges. It's like writing a novel is something that I've
Starting point is 00:51:49 never done before. But, you know, as a person that's like a creative, I wasn't gonna, like, tell myself I couldn't do it. So I tried it, right? And then, you know, the opportunity that it came out successful, then that's, you know, we'll see what the numbers do. But we're doing good, man.
Starting point is 00:52:05 We're killing it on Amazon and, you know, wherever you can buy books. Y'all go out and get that today. Go get that Flippin' Boss card. Yeah. Not just luck. You start every chapter with something, right? So it's an easy way. It's a rolling four, six, eight, or ten with any combination except for double.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Yeah. So that's basically setting up what you see happen in the chapter. Yeah, right. You have the idea of what he's doing. We use gambling terms. I got a glossary in there. But we use these gambling terms. And then basically kind of set you up.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Like you said, that little headliner is like, what's this whole chapter going to entail? What taught you how to gamble? Up from that get on the knees in the lunchroom with the wall. Like, you know, here they told some older cousins, my cousin Calvin, cousin Mark, and my cousin Stan. I think about them all. And that was, you know, that was the cousins you went to live with in the hood. And they just, everything was crazy fun. And then, but, you know, I don't gamble much.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Like, as I got older, it was like one of those things I just like to make my money. I don't really take chances with my money like that. I'll gamble with my boys. Like, you know, when they're in Vegas and we out there and, like, just everybody having a good time, that's the only time I do it. But I'm not one to walk past a table and, like, yo, let me just drop a thow or two, you know, five grand on there. I ain't doing that. I was going to ask, you know, speaking to your family about your grandfather, do you see traits in yourself that they tell you that was in your grandfather as well? Yeah, that was, I mean, that was one of the big motivations because you do get that.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Like I said, I never had a chance to meet him. But, you know, like wearing the hats and the suits, you know, my mother would tell me, like, when you remind me of my daddy right now, like, you know. And then, of course, we get that, you know, you might have a laugh or the way you smile or smirk. People will tell you, like, you look just like so-and-so. And so, you know, I'd say that in the acknowledgments, man, that I really encourage people to go back and start talking to their elders and older people in their family. Because you'll find out a lot about your own self, you know. Because, you know, like the fact that he was such an entrepreneur and he was a person that really wanted to see himself in a bigger life you know but you know was you know kind of like you know some submerged by the times but i feel like i got that spirit you know i don't know where
Starting point is 00:54:16 it came from but ever since i was a teenager i never wanted to be like a person that had a job like i was like i want to i got to figure out how to hustle it you know I wasn't no street dude but you know I still like trying to sell shades to people and you know yeah I mean sunglasses like you find out that hustle you get the sunglasses on the low at one place and then you go and try to sell them to the people at the park when they out riding around like yeah got these Gucci's they not really but they look. Do you feel like you know or understand your grandfather more? You know, I mean, a little bit for sure, but it is a fictional tale. So, you know, I only had a few stories. You know, he definitely was, you know, from a generation where he didn't have a lot of friend groups left, you know.
Starting point is 00:55:00 So, mainly my uncle, you know, my mom had passed in 2015. But before then, a lot of her stories. But, you know, to get, you know, when I started developing this book, it was mainly like close relatives. And they were teenagers and kids when he was doing his thing. But my Uncle Mel, he actually, you know, got to the age where he could go and hang with his father. So he'd be at the gambling house in the back, you know, having to run errands for people. So, you know, he was talking about that scene in harlem nights with a duck on the door he was like that kind of stuff was my life you know i had to come in and knock on the door my daddy need this mama need that i leave you know i was gonna ask with the king of comedy such a special tour right when
Starting point is 00:55:39 it came out and everybody was so excited people always ask who would be the new kings of comedy if you had to name four new comedians that you could see that you love. Like new new or just people that's hot? I mean the thing is I mean the idea of the kings of comedy you know it was like the guys that was at the top of their game. I mean right now
Starting point is 00:55:57 that same group probably still you know Kevin Chappelle, Rock me. Damn right. You're so much in comedy. I was talking to Jess last night. She was like, man, I want to be there for Cedric, man.
Starting point is 00:56:13 He's the king of comedy. I thought she was going to be here. I love Jess, man. She's one of these people that, again, these new voices that came on and just really dynamic and got our own lane. I was looking forward to her being here. She wanted to meet you bad. She was like, I never met him. He's the king of comedy. voices that came on and just really dynamic and you know got our own lane so you know i was i was looking forward to her being here she wanted to meet you bad she's like i never met him he's a
Starting point is 00:56:29 kid i gotta meet yeah oh wow yeah no doubt that even but i but you know it's a lot of you know i love dion cole like i think he definitely one of these people popping this like carlos miller dc you know it's a lot of cats out here that smoke Roy Wood Jr. I love Roy Wood. I think people that's been around a long time that still need to get their light, you know, but comedy is going to be one of those things, too, that there's so many
Starting point is 00:56:56 specials that sometimes they don't feel special no more, you know what I'm saying? So, I don't know exactly how that's, you know, how we're going to resolve that and, you know, we hear a lot of comedy. When we came up, Def Jam was so uniquely special. Being on the Apollo was uniquely special. But now, you got Netflix and you just flip through there and be like,
Starting point is 00:57:19 oh, you know, dude had a special right here. So you find comedy just being so readily available that... It's too regular. It's not an event. Yeah, exactly. It's not an event. There's no event going on. Yeah, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:57:31 But, I mean, but, you know, like, that live, though, that's still a great place, you know what I'm saying? Like, when you go live and you see people that can hit that stage and turn it up, you know, I think that's totally different because when you're shooting a special, you also, in your mind, try to get too fly, you know what I'm saying? different because when you're shooting a special you also in your mind try to get to fly you know i'm saying you change your outfit you because you're thinking out you're thinking about being on tv you're not really doing it like when when you're going up there mobbing in the dojo you know i'm saying so you know chico chico reminds me of you yeah oh
Starting point is 00:57:59 that's my guy chico b that's my other guy man he reminds me like the way even y'all mannerisms the way y'all move talk with, the way y'all dress. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we did a show a couple years ago. That was the first time I was with him, and I just realized, like, man, all them guys, like, hella talented. Yeah, then he go, yeah, he definitely one of them guys, too. You ever look back at some of the comedy back then and be like,
Starting point is 00:58:21 damn, we could never say that now. Sometimes I go back and listen to old music. I show y'all the old commercial, and I i'm like i can't even believe they played this commercial on air but you know i mean could you ever look back at that and are you ever scared doing comedy now it was so funny my my partner right when i'm managing we was doing he he hit me with a joke i used to do a long time ago and it was just like it was the subtle callback to a joke that i was like don't you can you tell that joke right now? And I don't never see myself as no person that's got
Starting point is 00:58:47 politically incorrect jokes where I'm out really trying to be rude to people, but the times have changed. Burning Mac, his passing has been like 15 years and we've been dealing with that. We're talking about Kings of Comedy, like that whole set. You can't
Starting point is 00:59:03 do milk and cookies. You can't do Milk and Cook. You can't do Milk and Cook. Especially the setup to it. Right, right. I was like, y'all... And that's so brilliant. Like, we loved his delivery and the kind of earnest honesty in that.
Starting point is 00:59:20 But you can't even... Nah, man. So that's crazy. It's a slippery slope, you know because you know especially when you're creative you like trying to just say stuff sometimes you just letting it come out you know and then you know you can actually just very easily be in a pothole and be like man i ain't really mean it that way you know then people go on the apology tour or try to act like yeah you know, no. They should be trying to fix it with all that,
Starting point is 00:59:48 like you got caught by your girl. Like, no, I'm just saying, like, for real, though. Like, you need to understand, like, what I was saying. I didn't mean. Oh, they say, I'm doing the work. Yeah, I'm working hard on myself. Yeah, these are just some terms you learn from them classes they send you to.
Starting point is 01:00:04 You got to... I'm doing the work. All right, we got more with Cedric the Entertainer when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

So was it a bad experience you had rolling dice back in the day oh man you know what most of the times it's a bad experience like most of the times most of the times it's just like you know hey here you go here's some money you know you get to play for a little bit i had some great roles you know you you get you start playing with gamblers and you recognize like oh i can't even keep up like you know i'm saying you go in there like i can't play like that but it was just one
Starting point is 01:05:48 of these things that for me the odds and put my money on something that felt like i'm just waiting on a whim you know i do that on the lottery tickets when it's a b and that's it i'm gonna do that 20 at a time that's right and if i hit a billion yeah then i'm good but if i don't then it's 20 but i'm not you're gonna going to throw five grand on the craps table. That's not me, man. How many names did you have to change to protect the guilty in this book? Oh, man. A lot.
Starting point is 01:06:14 A lot. I definitely changed. I kept my grandfather and then pretty much and my grandmother's name. But then everybody else I kind of changed. You know, and especially like other relatives that you know in there I even like changed who they were because I have other relatives in here that are represented but that's not what their personalities were I just needed to change and get some texture and make characters feel different but you know even the character that plays his brother-in-law in in real
Starting point is 01:06:41 life they was they was two peas in a pod. But I couldn't make, they would have felt like the same person in the book, so I made them something totally different. Now, is family going to be coming to you asking you for money? Of course. You wrote this about granddaddy? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:54 You never even met him, Cedric. Where the money? You know, I mean, it's one of these things that's funny. It's funny that, yeah, but it is a family thing. Luckily for me, my sister was rocking with me the whole time,
Starting point is 01:07:06 and she's like that protector of me. If anybody come for me, my sister going to hold it down. She's like, no, school back. But normally, this was a creative process. This was something that me having an idea, it's not about the family per se. It's a story, but it was like this was an opportunity that i had so i'll try to take care of people though like my uncle who helped me like a lot to make sure that
Starting point is 01:07:31 he get get you know get some stuff off this book my sister and people who like really helped me you know i i think that that's uh you know it's only fair to make sure that they get you know know that they love getting knowledge and not just acknowledging the book but you know monetarily too but you know how to say no because you've been getting money yeah no you've been doing well for a long time oh yeah i definitely know how to say no like i could say nah like nah i'll go past no nah that's what is emphatic you like oh okay but let me nah you know but but definitely you know like it is one of those things where you know i i used to have like a whole fund for the family it was a very specific number every year you put it in there that's what's over there how much was it if you don't mind
Starting point is 01:08:15 25 grand every year but people can get it you know like they would but they have to deal with my sister so like you had to figure it out but Oh, that's smart. But $25,000, whatever it is, you can call there. You can qualify for it. And not all it was. Well, I mean. Because you're late for your car. Yeah, it wasn't no, you know, I ain't going for the nonsense. Like, I want to go to Beyonce's head.

Starting point is 01:08:57 people heard one too many nods and they knew not to ask you no more well you know i think you know i think it started getting to the point where people wanted the bigger bigger checks you know some people just come in and literally felt like the whole 25 was theirs you know you get certain relatives that they they closer to you and they just come and they want they don't even want to be in the group no more they like yo i got my own 25 you do that for them but you know pay for my house house I didn't see you grow and be like you see the new trucks right yeah Yeah, shoot.

Oh, you understood it, too. That's actually worse than saying something. Than anything but it's great though no he can never say she said anything though damn so what is he gonna be writing about he's gonna sample he's gonna sample her laughing and had to pay her shoot yep give me something
Starting point is 01:11:59 for it kelly price defends tiana taylor after reports of iman shumpert infidelity allegations i read that real good let me read that again because that was that rolled off my tongue like there you go yeah now she was practicing for 10 minutes y'all kelly all right don't matter kelly price defends tiana taylor after reports of iman shumpert and philip l should i let it go you had it god humbled you real quick fidelity allegations god said you can't have it all so we're gonna edit the second one out that's all god so you can't have it all just all right so uh this is pretty interesting we have audio of what kelly price was saying when she was jumping to tiana taylor's defense she's not a side piece she's not a side hoe she's a wife they have a family they have a home they own businesses together if anything is worth fighting for,
Starting point is 01:12:46 it is your family, especially if it can be saved. I just don't understand why wives get attacked so bad and get praised. She's a beautiful woman. She's incredibly talented. Why say she's dependent? Why say she's one of these dumb black women that's gonna always fight for black men no matter what the hell they're doing isn't that what we supposed to be doing so supposed to fight for them because guess what every day that they leave the house the whole world is against them they should have peace when they come home when they mess up they should be held accountable but that ain't our business how about that hey i'll tell you this i have no idea who or what kelly price is talking is even talking about i don't know nothing about this rumor she's
Starting point is 01:13:30 discussing okay so so kelly price went on ig live to defend tiana taylor against a blogger who went in on tiana after um finding out about iman cheating or whatever allegedly allegedly now i don't know who the blogger is um and i'm not gonna say who i think it was because that's not what i do but um she claimed that the the blogger had called tiana a side piece for coming to the fence of her family now i see that a lot i do see when when um husbands get caught in the headlines or whatever a lot of women they they will say oh leave him leave him leave him oh girl you better than leave him, leave him. Oh, girl, you better than that. Leave him, leave him.
Starting point is 01:14:05 I never really see anybody egging nobody on to fix their marriage. I think that's what Kelly Price is kind of getting at. And she may have been the only person to see this blog or talk about Tiana because I didn't even see it. I didn't even hear this story. You never heard it, never seen it. I didn't hear it or see it either. I think sometimes you bring attention to things that don't need attention.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Yeah, because I didn't know. And honestly, that's what I'm doing, bring attention to things that don't need attention. Yeah, because I didn't know. And honestly, that's what I'm doing, bringing attention to it. And I didn't even know. Yeah, you're right. Is Kelly Tiana aunt, godmother? Nah, nah. But I tell you what, she can't be making no remarks like that after she made a song like As We Lay. If anything, you inspired this man to cheat.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Kelly Price did As We Lay? As We Lay. Oh, she remade it no no yeah yeah she remade it she killed it all right that was one of her best best songs you are it is not hers but that was a good song i maybe we need tyrese i think maybe tiana and iman needs tyrese that's what is. Who the hell would use Tyrese as a marriage counselor? What kind of idiot would use Tyrese as a marriage counselor? Rashawn and Gia. Oh, shoot. I forgot. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:15:12 Oh, no. All right. No. All right. All right. Moving on. Moving on. Damn.
Starting point is 01:15:16 I forgot. Moving on. Sorry. I forgot. Watch your mouth. I forgot. I didn't know. Before we box it.
Starting point is 01:15:22 I'm about to box your mouth. I don't want your box nowhere near my mouth. Hopefully not. Did you try to box your mouth. I don't want you to box nowhere near my mouth. Now that you tried to box Tyrese, I don't want you to box his. You should have boxed his first. Oh, my goodness. All right, listen. Moving on. Last story.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Tinashe addresses her song with R. Kelly. So Tinashe was on Zach Sang Show. Who talked about her song with R. Kelly? I don't know, but she said she was embarrassed about it. Do we have audio for that? Attached to things that felt label-y. Would you put in that category the songs you did with R. Kelly and Chris Brown? You think I would?
Starting point is 01:15:55 I literally block out that R. Kelly song from my mind. I forget that that even exists. That is so embarrassing. And I think the public perceives it as you doing that willingly and not understanding that you lack a lot of control in that situation. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, you do. And especially when it comes to singles,
Starting point is 01:16:13 like, for example, that song with Chris, we all wanted it to be like this big moment, this big single. So I feel like in their mind, they were like, you need the support. And he was like their biggest artist they had on rhythmic radio at the time. And to i was like well this is a pop song so i really don't feel like we should put chris on it like that i don't like that that doesn't compute to me but i don't know baby chris is pop chris is pop chris is r&b chris is hip-hop i think he does all that but um i promise you we still we never heard the song none of us even even knew about it until you and Zach Sang started talking about it. I promise you.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Salute to that guy for doing his research. Yeah. She tried to act like the song don't exist. I didn't know it existed. DJ Envy, did you hear the song? Because you're a DJ of all your years. I didn't hear the song, but I just want to clear something up. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:02 There was a ill statement put out uh for an interview that i did that r kelly i got flewed out by r kelly oh don't say oh like that because it didn't happen like that it didn't happen like that all right cap hold on let me read the headline i saw that but i already knew the story because you told me about it he flew him out he told me the good time he had what did he say what y'all wanted to do what y'all what he was doing it said i got dj vlad tv dj envy i got flewed out by r kelly at 19 you can't get mad at people for stories that you volunteer so what happened was don't don't you volunteer this information r kelly at the time i wanted to do an r&b mixtape when i was doing mixtape so okay so he flew me out to chicago to do a mixtape he flew me out on a friday okay then

You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day for Thursday, September 14th. Goes to a Tennessee man named Charles Doty. Charles is 64 years old.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Now, let the record show the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee begged me to do this story. He said it could serve as a PSA to people everywhere. Now, when I read the story, okay, it was no question to me Charles Doty should get donkier today, but the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee wanted me to give it to the other party involved.
Starting point is 01:19:59 Who was the other party involved? Well, it was the employees of Little Caesar's Pizza. Let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please. One man allegedly went too far when he was told his Little Caesar's Pizza was not hot and ready. Pulling an AK-47 on employees
Starting point is 01:20:15 and demanding his food ASAP. He points the gun up, points it at me. Where's my pizza? I want my pizza now. Kimberly Murrell told a local news station in Knoxville, Tennessee, that it was her first day on the job. The hangry customer, identified by police as 53-year-old Charles Doty Jr., reportedly became upset when he was told he would have to wait 10 minutes for a pepperoni pizza. Murrell says he left the store, went to
Starting point is 01:20:44 his car, and came back with the weapon. Another customer in the store who had gotten her pepperoni pizza. Morrell says he left the store, went to his car, and came back with the weapon. Another customer in the store who had gotten her pepperoni pizza reportedly gave it over to Dodie, and that was enough to make him leave. The employees called the police, who tracked him down and arrested him.
Starting point is 01:20:58 We are not always hot and ready. Never listen to that. We are not always hot and ready. Dodie is in jail on a $90,000 bond reportedly charged with aggravated kidnapping and four counts of aggravated assault. Now, Jess and Envy, when you hear that story, who do y'all think should get donkey today in this situation? The man who pulled the AK-47 on the Lil' Cesar's employees because his pizza was taking too long. Are the employees for taking too long with the pizza? Both. What? Both.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You take both? Both. Who do you take, Envy? You can't pull out an AK-47 on somebody preparing pizza. That's what I would think. Absolutely. And you can't sell your business on 10 minutes we hot and ready and then it's 12 minutes. Damn! With a whole AK-47? No, I'm not justifying him doing that.
Starting point is 01:21:42 No, not at all, BET. I'm not doing that. I'm not. i'm just saying that yeah no he should get donkey first and go to jail and all that but now y'all should y'all should know if it ain't done in ten minutes false advertisement y'all have to y'all need to be penalized as well just like the president of the fat lives matter committee wow he feels the same way he's not justifying violence uh you know i'm pulling an ak47 on people, but he's trying to tell me there's justifiable reasons to do what this man did. I disagree.
Starting point is 01:22:10 I asked him why does he hate when his food is late, and he just went on a whole fat rant about the fast food industry. He said, well, first off, anytime you order food and you gotta wait for it, you have to make food at home while you waiting on what you ordered. Who does that? Fat man. He said it's like
Starting point is 01:22:24 an appetizer he said he said little ceaser doesn't have appetizers so i said what about cheesy bread he said it's considered uh an appetizer but he looks at it as part of the hot and ready family it is and he said that not only uh he could he see somebody pulling an aka on fast food workers he said uh who don't have the food in the town he said the ride share drivers he said because the ride share drivers who don't speak english he said because when who don't have the food in the town he said the ride share drivers he said because the ride share drivers who don't speak english he said because when you don't speak english and you call him to see exactly when they call you to see exactly where your house is at it drives him crazy knowing his food is minutes away but he can't get to it because he doesn't
Starting point is 01:22:58 understand uh what what the person is saying yes yo i ain ain't gonna lie. Okay, and I'm skinny and I just went through that yesterday. So he's definitely right. He's right. And when you hungry, yo, and they put your food on somebody else's step. Yo, that's, yeah. It's not enough to put an AK-47 on people.
Starting point is 01:23:17 He also said everything on the menu should be customizable. He said what you put on the menu should be considered a suggestion. And he said, he said like we should be able to mix and match meals. Like if you want a quarter pounder and you want to add a fish fillet to the quarter pounder, he said you should be able to do that.
Starting point is 01:23:33 Yo, this ain't got nothing to do with the original story. I'm telling you, it's crazy. He put fish on top of the Big Mac? Yes. On the french fries? Yes. He's just going on this whole rant. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:23:42 Dang. That's a heart attack. But this is exactly why the Snickers commercial hit so hard, because people really aren't themselves when they hungry. Okay, this man Charles Dahlia pulled an AK-47 on someone because his $6 pizza was going to take 10 minutes. He asked for a free order of Crazy Bread, and they didn't give it to him. So he left Little Caesars and came back with an AK-47. And do you know the woman he pulled the gun on? It was her first day on the job.
Starting point is 01:24:05 I know. that's horrible. Come on, man. Can you imagine? No. This person excited to have a gig. Might have been a little young girl. Now she got PTSD. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Pizza Traumatic Stress Disorder. She don't want to work at no pizza place. Not Little Caesar, Pizza Hut, Domino's, nothing. She's just too Caesar. Somebody just delivered that. Man, I'm not playing with you, man.
Starting point is 01:24:23 What is that? It's a note from the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee. It says, furthermore, some other reasons. Why he write it on a plate? I don't know. Is that ketchup? He said, you don't own the sauces. You don't get no bonus for saving the restaurant 12 sauces.
Starting point is 01:24:42 That's a fact. He's right. He's right about that. That's a fact. And I'm not even saying it. I want some ketchup. You give me two packets. No, man. I want the restaurant 12 sauce. That's a fact. He's right about that. That's a fact. And I'm not even saying that. I want some ketchup. You give me two packets. No, man.
Starting point is 01:24:48 I want Polynesian sauce. You only give me one? Yeah. No, no. They can give us more than that. I'm with him on that. Can I get a little salt and pepper, too? Knock it off.
Starting point is 01:24:54 None of this is a reason to pull a weapon of mass destruction on a fast food employee. Okay? A $10 pizza is going to cost this man tens of thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and probably his freedom because he's taking a blind pee a blind a blind plea okay and his sentence is going to be determined by a criminal court judge what race okay y'all want to do that too okay all right all right well i guess let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. Okay. Give me my clues. Charles Doty, mad that a pizza from Little Caesars was going to take more than 10 minutes. So he left the restaurant, came back with an AK-47, and pulled it on the employee just because his pizza was late.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Guess what race it is. Fat. Wow. Damn. Fats are race now? Oh, you made the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee double over. I had to check it. It might have been a heart attack.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Yeah, I was going to say, is he happy about it? What? A race. You said fat? Yeah, fat is not a race. Okay. Jess Hilarious. Charles Doty.
Starting point is 01:26:00 White. Who's closer? Jess Hilarious is absolutely correct. Charles Doty is Caucasian. And he's not fat. No? And fat is not a race. I know that.
Starting point is 01:26:14 I knew that. But I had to pick one. That's what I would lean towards. Oh, my God. Please let Remy Ma give Charles Doty the biggest hee-haw. Man, cut it out, man. Hee-haw. Hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:26:24 You stupid motherfucker. Did he just bring you donuts? A box of empty donuts. Man, cut it out, man. Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother f***er. Did he just bring you donuts? A box of empty donuts. Oh, it's two. Oh my God. Are they half eaten? With another plate.
Starting point is 01:26:33 And mind your business. If I order five meals, don't tell me that's a lot of food. Nigga, I know that. Just put the order in. He getting some stuff off his chest. That's a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:26:44 All right. He getting some stuff off his breast. Well, shout lot of stuff. He getting some stuff off his breast. Well, shout to BET. BET, this is our 100th episode. So we got to, come on, get your thing, man. Shout to BET. You got to take off the top, pause. And now just push this hard.
Starting point is 01:26:55 Pause. Yo, I'm a woman. You don't got to pause with me. You don't ever pause with the men. You pause with the women. Yeah, you're right. Happy 100th episode. Woo!

And what I notice is if you're doing music, you got to have your ass out. That is true.
Starting point is 01:27:52 All the girls all have niggas. If you're going to make it in music, you got to have that ass out. If you ain't got your ass out, you ain't going to make it in music. That is true. If you a female in music, ass out. Damn. Now, your single has random people. Like, these people don't connect but you

I'm like, Lil Jon. I always wanted to do a song with Lil Jon. Ever since the 1900s, I've been wanting to know Lil Jon. So he reached out to him and he was like, what you know about Fabio? And I was like, who's that?
Starting point is 01:28:34 And then he put me on. I was like, oh, I love his music. I know who you're talking about. He was like, I think we should get all that together. I was like, let's see if we can get them all together. I don't think that's random at all, though. Because Lil Jon is crunk. To me, all of that drill energy and all of that, it all derives from the crunk energy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Yeah. Yeah. It's called evolution. Envy. But when you met Lil Jon, did you do, yeah, did you do that? Because everybody has to do that. You didn't do it. I didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:28:58 I didn't do that. Because I don't like when people be like, she ready. Pulling my face. So I didn't do that to him. What I did to him was like, yo, I respect you. I enjoy you. You have no idea.
Starting point is 01:29:11 I used to be the mascot in high school. I've done so many routines to your music. Matter of fact, let me show you one. And then I just danced right there on Sunset. What was the routine? Oh boy, let's see this. Everyone see you got the energy. Let's go.

Starting point is 01:29:35 He already did it. He did it before we met in person. I'm glad you did this because I feel like Lil Jon is a person we don't celebrate enough, man. Yes. Like, I really do. I think he is one of the greatest producers ever ever tell the club closes clearly based off true events you found out with me I will stay to the end of the party yes you will I like a good party oh you hear that person that four o'clock you just like water lights

I met Janet. I asked her, how do you sing and dance and do all that?
Starting point is 01:30:29 Where did you meet Janet at? I went to her concert. Okay. We're at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. And then she had an after party. And I went to the after party. She told me she loved that I cut my hair. She said, oh my goodness, I love when you cut your hair. It's so beautiful. I've always wanted to do that. But you know, it's not like from my hair. She said, oh my goodness, I love when you cut your hair. It's so beautiful. I've always wanted to do that,
Starting point is 01:30:45 but you know, it's not like from my era. It's like frowned upon. It's frowned upon to cut your hair. She's like, I just love that you did that. And I'm like, thank you. Now tell me your magic. How do you sing and dance at the same time? She said, you practice.

Starting point is 01:31:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a rapper, but I can sing now. Now, how you been doing with the strike that's been going on? Because, I mean, movies and touring and everything that's going on,
Starting point is 01:31:19 how has that affected you? The strike, look, it's a situation. I've been out there, you know, walking around, marching, if you will, protesting, if you will. And things need to be resolved. But for me during this time, that part of it is exercise, kind of. I really wish I could be on those committees and help negotiate. I'm really good at negotiations, I like to think.
Starting point is 01:31:42 But with this downtime, I've been focusing more on my music. I have a little farm right in South Central LA. And now it's officially a farm because I have bees and I harvest the honey and I'll be selling the honey. So I'm peeing in the trap. That's smart. Last person I know that did that was Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz had a bee problem in his backyard, so he decided to start harvesting the honey from the bees. Yeah, and once you start harvesting it and when you sell it, you become a farmer.
Starting point is 01:32:13 And that's the tax write-off. And the tax is super-duper low. Yep, super low. And then I've been focusing more on my properties. I went ahead and bought a couple more.

Because you got to think about it. You really have to think about it. About to make another dumbass headline. DJ Envy says Biggie wasn't that small. No, no, no.

Starting point is 01:51:38 right this story is uh hilarious for a couple different reasons so basically kanye west he hired this guy named t Saxon, right, to be his property manager. He bought this house in Malibu. And this guy wore many hats. When he hired Tony, he was doing, he was a caretaker, he was security, he was doing renovations,
Starting point is 01:51:56 he was in charge of all of that. Kanye West made a request like, yo, I don't want no electricity and no windows in the house. Just bring in a bunch of, yep, bring in a bunch of generators. So Tony Saxon was like, yo, that is dangerous. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:52:11 Like, that's not a good idea. So basically, he gave him pushback and Kanye fired him. Basically for telling him no. I mean, and making a decision for his safety, obviously. So he fired him. And then after he got fired, Tony Saxon then opened up a lawsuit. He's suing him for firing him. He worked for Kanye West for two months.
Starting point is 01:52:29 Kanye only paid him for a week of working. What's the point of not wanting electricity but wanting all the generators? I want to know the science behind that. They didn't go into that. But the reason why he didn't want windows because he said he don't like glass. Now, he was sued for something similar before. I can't with y'all because with donda academy they didn't have no windows either they just had like the
Starting point is 01:52:49 skylights and so when it would rain it would get wet in the class yo shut up yo for real yo for real that's what it is i'm just with the mess i'm doing good today for real this is what it is yes so i think i think that's funny that's. But his kids will never want to come over his house. Nah. Crazy. Kanye want to live in a cave. There are actual people that lives like this, though. What, with no windows and no electricity?
