Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa

Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Man, why are you still in here lighting up wood, man? You rather me light it or ride it? I mean, I don't know what that is. What did you just say?

Yeah, listen, man. My child is here. I'm sorry. You talking about riding wood in front of my child? Bro, what is wrong with you, man? I'm talking about playing basketball, sitting on the bench. Come on. Something's wrong with you.

That's not what I heard. Yeah, that's not what I heard either. Amy, where's your daughter's bracelets? Oh, you want to buy some? No, my daughter wants to know if you're really promoting the right way. You know she's in charge of promotion, so she wants to see if you're really doing a good job. Well, my daughter made $130 two days ago. She just turned 10, so she's very excited.

She thought she was going to make $30. She made $130. She made $130. She's back in the lab making some more bracelets. Is that a good amount of money, baby? Alright, okay. With no

cause attached to the bracelets, no nothing. No story, no nothing. She doesn't need a story. If she was a young person who comes from an area where she needed money, I would understand the entrepreneurial spirit. She already got a trust fund bro so you so she wants her own and she's doing things to create her own it's nothing wrong with that you support that she's gonna know from uncle Charlotte you

should have sold him some wood it's not too late for her to donate you know a percentage to a good cause you go just you go just... You know what I mean? Like 10 or 20 percent, and then she might... She did. You know, get some more... Oh, she did. To Roblox. Okay. Yeah, you know the Roblox organization?

No, I don't. Google it. Look it up. Okay, Roblox? Yeah, Roblox. Okay, I'm going to check it out. This is a shame. It sounded like a video game.

It is a video game. Oh, okay. Now, Chico, we got... I mean, you got to have a conversation. Okay. You have your daughter with us today. Yeah, the head of promotions. She's the head of promotions.

The head of promotions. Since we're promoting, I had to bring the head of promotions with me. The first time she's been to New York, you surprised her. Yes, the first time she's been to New York. And then you took her to Marcy Projects. I didn't take her anywhere. She took me. She wanted to get her nails done.

When we got here. Marcy Projects now? Listen, it was across the street from Mary Projects, just to be clear. That's still Mossy Projects. But it's still Mossy Projects. We were in the projects. And she really enjoyed the experience. So I guess the first time she came to New York, she wanted to make sure her dad was really where I said I was from, the streets.

So she took me straight there and got her nails done. But you got to explain to her the streets, though. Just because you're from the streets don't mean that you should be in these streets because these ain't your streets. I mean, but we weren't in in them we were in the nail place getting their nails done so let's not promote that i took my baby to the project why would that be the first thing that i told y'all that in confidence and then you start the show off acting like i just took my baby straight to the project send for yourself let me see if you got it that's not what happened she went to get her nails done salute Salute to the, what was the lady named? Oh, boy.

Yes. And she did a good job. Nail Tech Mafia. Nail Tech Mafia. So if you're in New York, get your nails done by the Nail Tech Mafia. She did a great job

for my baby. In Marcy Projects. Across the street from Marcy Projects. You like Jay-Z, right? You like his music. I love Jay-Z, of course. Let me take you

to my favorite rapper's place of residence. Place of residence. Where he was born. This is already a story. Yeah, I mean, we should have had something to sell like his daughter did, but she didn't bring anything. So, unfortunately, we just had to pay to get a service done. Well, what else are you taking her to while she's in New York?

This is her first time. Here. What you mean? I took her here. She is here to be a part of the show and make sure I'm doing my job and promoting everything that we're supposed to be promoting. Because season 20 of Wildin' Out is what we're up here for. That's right. But I have a bunch of other stuff that

I'm going to need to promote and she is here to make sure that I do that. Ain't that right, baby? Oh, you can take her to the Booker Hove Museum that opened yesterday. Yeah, we went past there yesterday. We went past there. The traffic was kind of crazy though. Oh, it was nuts. It was nuts. Did you go? Yeah, I was there last night. Did you bring your wood? No, actually I do.

Since you want to play games. This dude here, we want to play games. We want to bring up the projects. Let's talk what you into up here. Jesus. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. TK Kirkland will be joining us this morning. And of course we got front page news

with Teslin Figaro coming up next. Don't move, it's the Breakfast Club on BET. Morning everybody, of course, we got front page news with Tez and Figaro coming up next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We are celebrating the 20th anniversary, I should say the 20th season of Wild N' Out. We have Chico Bean and Justina Valentine here.

And let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Justina again. What's up, Tez? Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Justina again. What's up, Chad? Good morning. You're looking even more gorgeous today. Thank you, honey. So are you.

I ain't never seen that background. Let's jump right into it. Hollywood is shutting down. Actors going on strike right now. That's the actors and the writers. Yeah, it's going down in Hollywood. The Hollywood Actors Union began the strike at midnight Thursday after negotiations to reach a new contract. right now that's the actors and the writers yeah it's going down in hollywood the hollywood actors union began the strike at midnight thursday after negotiations to reach a new contract

with production studios ended without an agreement now actors will join writers in the first industry wide walkout for six to three years they said the last time this happened guys maryland roll uh was alive and i believe they said uh ronald re Ronald Reagan was the president at the time, or the president of, I guess, the union. But it effectively brings the giant movie and television business to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild issued a strike order after the last-ditch talks with studios on their demands over dwindling pay, and the threat posed by artificial intelligence ended without a deal.

Now, the president of the guild said that this is a moment in history a moment in truth if we do not stand tall right now we are going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines and big business he's absolutely right i'm part of the wga and sag and i don't see how this ends well because these studios aren't making any concessions in regards to ai. But what I don't understand is why aren't they letting SAG-AFTRA members make money during the actor strike? They can't do tours. They can't do personal appearances. They can't do interviews.

They can't do conventions, fan expos, festivals, for-your-consideration events, panels, podcast appearances, and social media. Nothing. How are you going to make money? That's how most people make money on the side. That has nothing to do with Hollywood. So I don't understand why SAG-AFTRA members won't allow the actors to do that during the strike. I don't think they want anybody to make money. I don't think they want anybody to make money off of actors because all those things that you name need talent.

Like, you know, a lot of these podcasts need these interviews. A lot of these panels need these talents. What about actors who host their own podcast? There's actors who host their own podcast now. That's how they make extra money when they're not shooting their shows or shooting their films. I don't understand that one. Get some bracelets. But what happens to some bracelets?

Get some bracelets, baby. You can stop running with them bracelets, but we got bracelets for sale. But I was going to ask, so what happens to Hollywood now? What happens? Do they stop making movies? Oh, yeah. I feel like I know what's going to happen. I don't know if you remember I think if I'm not mistaken the last time they had a big

strike like this is when reality TV boom so you know anything that's not scripted anything that you don't need anybody to write on or you know people who are sad yeah that's what I think we're gonna see a lot more to be movies baby 2B is about to blow up let me answer let me answer your question on that because you are right about the reality show but the actors this is the first time you know that they have been on strike and so what they're saying is going to happen

is or the first strike in a very long time where you have both in 63 years obviously reality TV wasn't going on then so what they're telling everybody is to expect preventing actors from promoting some of theirs the year's biggest release um there's also going to stop you know summer blockbuster movies from happening major film releases uh could be postponed as well but to your point chico it is i'm going to at least allow the unscripted you know content to have a boost but the problem i want to make sure the listeners

understanding what they're even demanding uh the union is demanding higher compensation mandates to limit the use of artificial intelligence in industry uh they're also asking uh they're making a point to say the rise of streaming and economic inflation has lowered member wages um so when you have the streaming down and they're not able to make that money and they're not getting residuals and royalties, that is what is affecting this strike. And so those are the things that they're demanding. Oh, yeah, they're striking for all the right reasons. I just don't know how this ends well.

Chico's point is absolutely right. It's going to be the unscripted content that ends up booming. The stuff like what we're doing right now with B.E.T. All the stuff you 85 South Show did with Netflix. Like, while or not, y'all about to shoot 10 more seasons in two months. I mean, all the way. But then how does it work, though, if you're saying more stuff on Netflix and the streaming?

That's unscripted content. That's unscripted content. We are still SAG after, so we won't be able to work on that side. If it was just a writer's strike, then we wouldn't be affected on the talent side of it, but since the talent and the writer's on then it's you know to be baby i don't know if that affects unscripted content that sag after strike i don't know i mean if you sag if you know

i know why i mean but it's sag you know but we're still unscripted though but but they always have the sag people come on set when we're there you You know what I mean? And we have to pay SAG after fees to be on set. I'm SAG after. I am as well. And I'm part of the WGA. See, but I was going to ask. And you're part of the Waving Wood Association. What if they going on strike?

I was going to ask, even if you are an actor, right, and you're part of SAG, can you still do unscripted? Because you're still on TV. You're still, you know. I think you can, yeah. You know what I mean? Because does that mean that you're crossing the line? Because let's say you are an actor, but say, you know what? All right, I'm going to do a reality show to make money.

But it's kind of like you're crossing the line. But that's why I said it makes no sense to me anyway. The fact that they won't allow SAG-AFTRA members to do tours, personal appearances, interviews, podcast appearances, social media, four-year consideration events, fan expos. That's how people make money on the side so so y'all okay starve yeah yeah but i mean but chico what about i mean the people that work on the show i mean you guys are talking about the actors but what about the other people that work on the show that is that going to prevent the show yeah they don't have they

won't have anything to shoot i mean and then you know you the the time that we shoot like even if we go overtime you know how they always get on it's about going overtime and how much it costs and all of that all of that is regulated so i think that that's the benefit of having the unions is to you know make sure that everybody's taking care of when the strike is so dangerous for you to cross that picket line because you know once it's over with you might not be able to cross back over you know what's going to happen into a couple of riders are going to cross across the picket line and they're going to shrink these riders rooms so know what's going to end up happening, too? A couple of writers are going to cross the picket line, and they're going to shrink these writers' rooms,

so it's not going to be 10 people in the writers' room no more. It's going to be two in AI. Wow. All right, watch. Well, that's front-page news. All right, when we come back, I know, Tez, we wanted to talk about cocaine, but we'll do that next. Yes.

Yes. Why are y'all so excited? We got to get this. I'm the one with the white girls. Cocaine. This is not a part of promotion. Don't listen, Pierce. All right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it off. This is your time to get it off your chest 800-585-1051

So it's just been her and I for the last year. But we actually have like a real relationship. What if the two men started sleeping with each other? How would y'all feel about that? Oh, wow. Only show me what you think about that. you don't use the hang-up button. I wish you could hang up on him. Why can't we mute this dude?

I want to see. Watch the double standard. If my husband want to go out and do whatever, and if he want to bring a girl home. No, no, no, not a girl. What if the husband was knocking off your girl's husband too? That's a big question. He's not into that.

But what if he did? Yeah, what if you came home one day. If he did, how would you feel? And there was another guy lying on the couch naked. What if the queen had balls? What if the what? What if the queen had balls? She's basically trying to push him out.

Yeah, that's right. Deflect, ma'am. Don't answer that question. All right? You did the right thing. You deflect. You don't answer whether or not this man is in here waving wood. That is his personal preference. She walked in with her husband, and he got the other guy's legs in the air,

like them two NBA players. What them dudes name? Oh, yeah, that was crazy. Wow. That was crazy. Pierce. Well, I guess you're going to have a great weekend, so have a great weekend, mama.

Take care of yourself. Everybody want to have open relationships until it's the back door that's open. Then when it's the back door that's open, then all of a sudden, you want to close the door. Stop. Stop, bro. What is wrong with you?

There's a teenager here. She should not be hearing about back doors and all that. Baby, I'm sorry. She's the head of promotion. She heard and all that. Baby, I'm sorry. She's the head of promotion. She heard it all before. Right, Pierce? Yes.

She's probably over there taking notes to take back to school. She's like back door question mark. Black back door. I'm going to kill him in the lunchroom with this one. I can't wait. Jesus Christ. Things I learned in New York City. Things I learned in New York.

Charlamagne Bride's the word. Back doors. Back door. Polynesian sauce. This is ridiculous, man. Get off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now.

When we come back, we got to discuss Hove. He was in town and the book of Hove was all over Brooklyn. Was it Brooklyn? Yeah, it was in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Library. All right, we'll discuss when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.D. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Wild N' Out. We got Justina Valentine here and also Chico Bean. Yes.

And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk. Oh! Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I don't gossip.

This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. Now, congratulations to Jay-Z. Yesterday it was announced that they are doing the Book of Hove exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library. Now, a part of this exhibition is of course having his lyrics all over the front of the library and they have different

things that, I guess, inside, like recording masters never seen before photos, iconic stage wear, prestigious awards, recognition, and Charlamagne, you went last night, right? Yeah, they had a surprise event for Jay-Z last night, you know, because he didn't know anything

about it, but yeah, man, if you ever heard the song Already Home, and Jay said he's a work of art already, that is very true. Because do you know how much of a career you have had to have in order to have your own

art installation in a library? And it looks like a Jay-Z museum. They recreated Baseline Studios. I've never been in Baseline Studios. I'm sure you have. And, you know, Just Blaze was there last night. Questlove,

they all said that it was to the T of what Baseline Studios was because they brought you have. Yes. And, you know, Just Blaze was there last night. Questlove. They all said that it was to the T of what Baseline Studios was because they brought in a lot of the old equipment and everything. And they have a section where it's like all the records

that Hov is sampled. They have this mini movie that shows Jay-Z's humble beginnings in Marcy living with his grandmother, Hattie White. And she's from

Batesburg, South Carolina, by the way. So it's amazing. It's open to the public today, I believe. Now, I know we've seen a lot of celebrities out there. So who was out there yesterday? A lot of people. But, South Carolina, by the way. So it's amazing. It's open to the public today, I believe. Now, I know we've seen a lot of celebrities out there. So who was out there yesterday? A lot of people, but you know, who cares?

People do. So who was there? I don't know. You was there. I was really not paying attention. I was paying attention to the event. Bro, everybody was taller than you, so you had to see everybody who was there.

No. Okay. Jason Tatum was there? Jason Tatum was there. But the reason I saw Jason Tatum is because he's taller than you. Yes. to see everybody who was there no okay jason tatum was there jason tatum was there but the reason i saw jason tatum is because he's taller than you yes you know the most inspiring thing about it though is because you really get to see the evolution of sean carter as a man in real time like we've heard it in his music and seen it from afar but to see it all in one place put to get put

together the way it was it was incredible because even though he's accomplished a lot professionally his growth and evolution as a father and husband, that's why he's in the position he's in now. Correct. Because they always say your talent will take you where your character can't sustain you. And there's so many people who haven't done the work on themselves and they haven't been able to sustain. They've crashed and burned.

We're watching a lot of it in real time, but Hov has not done that. And that's what's inspiring to me as a man. Pretty dope. So it opens up today, so you can definitely go check it out. Again, it'sv has not done that. And that's what's inspiring to me as a man. Pretty dope. So it opens up today so you can definitely go check it out. Again, it's at the Brooklyn Public Library.

And what Justina said is true. He is the best to ever do it. Whether you agree with him, you know, lyrically or not, when you go to that exhibit and you see how far Jay-Z has taken it,

like he's really the epitome of when Biggie said whoever knew that hip-hop could take it this far. And when you talk to people around him like, you know, the Beehives and the Tatas and, you know, the Emerys and the Bigs. And you ask them, like, yo, did y'all see this? They're like, no, nobody could have. He was so ahead of the game.

Right. The blueprint to me is, you know, that's my favorite body of work in hip hop history is the blueprint. The first one. And when you listen to it, it's literally a blueprint of how to get to success as a black man no matter where you from and he was giving game out on that cd that still applies today i mean this came out 2001 and you listen to this man talk about the stuff that he talks about on that disc and it's like he was already in 2023 and 20 you know he was already 20 years ahead of everybody else so you know i mean i think now you're just starting to 20, you know, he was already 20 years ahead of everybody else. So, you know, I mean, I think now you just starting to see the, you know, society and the culture catch up to where he already is.

But not only that, Hov is still the same person he was when I met him in 1994. The same person. He talks the same. He's, you know, because you feel like, you know, he's a billionaire and you see in this industry all the time. And they're far from billionaires. So the same conversations that when I used to go to Rockefeller to ask and beg for freestyles and beg for songs. He's the same guy that when I seen at the Barclays opening and he was walking through the different corridors. He's the same guy. He will stop.

He will speak. He's that same humble individual from Marcy Project. But like I said, he's done the work on himself. And to Chico's point, Blueprint used to be my favorite Jay-Z album, but 444 is actually my favorite Jay-Z album. And I think it's going to come a point in time when we realize that that's one of the most important hip-hop albums of all time.

Like, I think that album and Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morales and the Big Steppers will be known as the two most important hip-hop albums of all time because those two brothers have done the work on themselves in a real way and when you listen to 444 at least for me that's the soundtrack to my life right now all right yeah i mean once you got that new skin i'm sure that 444 was the way that things changed you

the blueprint was the old skin 444 you've done the work on yourself I feel you bro what's so dope about J2 is like he just stays offline too doesn't get involved in no frivolous stuff and like he's just shown you like what a businessman

he is too like outside of being the GOAT you know has the baddest chick in the game and he just keeps that mystique about him

which I think sometimes gets like other celebrities in trouble because they have so much online and Jay-Z just stays off of it. I don't even think he stays off of it. I just don't think he responds. I think he's actively present and I think he knows everything that's going on.

You can't be that in tune with the culture as he's been throughout the years without having your hand on the pulse of the heartbeat of the culture, he probably knows everything. You can't go to his page. You can't go to his page, but I'm sure he's tapped into everything. Of course. You've got to be to be able to have that much knowledge. You know what's so interesting about what Chico said? A wise woman by the name of Desiree Perez, drop on the clues box for Des.

She said, be aware of everything, but acknowledge nothing. There you go. That makes sense. Smart. All the way. Now, we've got to talk to another goat, Snoop Dogg. Now Snoop said that he had a giant pet roach, and he nicknamed the roach the Gooch.

Did you one time have a roach? A roach? I got a roach in my hand right now. Ba-boom. No, called Gooch. Did you have a roach called Gooch? Oh, yeah, the Gooch used to live with me. In my apartment, I had a roach that we couldn't kill.

We tried to kill him. We first moved in, and he wouldn't die, so we called him the Gooch. And he just kept getting bigger and bigger. I stayed in that apartment for about, like, six, seven months. Cuzz grew to the size of about a whole dollar bill. He was about the size of a dollar bill. We called him the Gooch. We used to leave food out for him and everything.

I'm old enough to know that the Gooch is the invisible bully that used to harass Willis and Arnold. Yep. Or was it Willis? Which one? Arnold. And I'm old enough to know that the Gooch is one of the most neglected parts of the human body. It's the part between, right, Justine? Yeah, the ball

sack and the butt. I was gonna say it, but I didn't want to get back on the ass talk ass talk Chico no ifs ands or buts about it that's what I know the Gucci what you know what you know the Gucci has Chico I know I'm stuck between the Gucci between y'all two that's what it is I am in between y'all two. And I don't understand, man. I'm the boss. No, I'm the boss. I'm the boss. See what I'm saying?

No, I'm the boss. I'm the boss. You're the boss. They fighting over who's the boss. Y'all can each be a ball. Yeah. You know what? No, no, no, no.

You got to understand. We are at a different time. You just heard about the strike that's going on. Who's the boss? It's an unscripted show today. Come on. Yeah. Who's going on. Who's the balls? It's an unscripted show today. Come on. Who's the balls? Now, who's the balls?

Who's the balls? It's time for love and it's time for love. Same way around, man. Yeah, I don't understand. I'm sorry, baby. And that is your rumor report. When we come back, Teslin Figaro will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your morningsaro will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is Snoop Dogg's From the Streets to the Suites. Here's Snoop's journey from the streets of Long Beach to hip-hop legend. Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash snoop. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Chico, you don't need to put your headphones on. I was scratching my head. They don't work anyway. They don't work anyway. Let's get in some front page news. Of course, it's the 20th season of Wildin' Out. We got Chico Bean and Justina Valentine here. Oh, yeah.

And let's get in some front page news with Tess and Figaro. Now, Tess, we teased some cocaine. So let's get right into the cocaine. We got to get to the cocaine. We followed this story like everybody else last week. Wanted to give an update that the Secret Service was not able to find who brought the cocaine into the White House. So the case remains unsolved. It is now closed.

The investigation has concluded with no forensic evidence or video. They're not able to identify the responsible person. They said that this cocaine was in an area that they did not have any video surveillance. It was kind of like in a cubicle. And the White House said that they collected a list of over 500 people. And they said on that list, again, since you can't match any physical evidence up, since there was no one on camera, that it is what it is. The mystery remains unsolved.

Do you mean to tell me that there's a room in the white house with no video cameras ain't no damn way knock it off man first of all i'm born and raised in washington dc if they letting people get away with cocaine let my people out of jail what is up with that that's crazy you know how many people have been arrested in the district of columbia for cocaine and they didn't found it in the white house and they can't figure out who it is it belonged to that's crazy man i read that they found weed in the white house uh a couple times in 2022 oh well see that's that is amazing man that they didn't locked up all them dc residents for cocaine and they didn't found it in the white house and they can't find who had it in the actual white house they done brought the white to the White House.

It kind of was like in a cubicle off to the side. So it wasn't like a particular room. You know, they're saying in a vestibule little area. So I guess when people walk past it, the angle of the camera had to be somebody that knew. It seemed like everything would be covered in the White House. Yeah, that's somebody that knew that angle.

That's where they do their cocaine at. That is the spot to do the coke. And somebody forgot and left it and then they found it and now they don't know who it belonged to. That's crazy.

They got to find a new spot. And then they said the funny part is the weed they found during the screening, like when somebody was coming in through the checkpoint,

they said, what kind of people are they letting into the White House that they can't find drugs in the White House three times already? We see the pictures

of who getting in the White House nowadays. You know what I mean in the White House three times already. We see the pictures of who getting in the White House nowadays. You know what I mean? Musha T done been in there. Yo, God, he done been in there. Snoop, dog.

Snoop smoked in there. He said, I'm just saying. Snoop admitted on the 85 South Show he smoked in the White House. So, I mean. I mean, weed is legal

at this point, so. Yeah, but cocaine is not. Cocaine is not. And if they didn't find cocaine in the white house and they can't identify who it is don't identify the people who sell it in the areas around the white house right now let's talk about these monkeys yes you don't want to say the title uh monkeys all right well the title is monkeys are having gay sex all the time

yes and we don't like to talk about gay sex in front of chico listen i'm sick of this man every time i come up here to bunk bed brothers y'all need to go ahead and just come out the closet man we guzman's yeah i know what y'all are but y'all have been in the closet for too long all right we have the youth here my daughter's here set an example for the youth in being free and who you are. We are. No, y'all not. The real gunsman's in New York. Y'all have been the bunk bed

brothers for too many years, man. And then y'all came with a story about gay monkey sex. Like, what is happening up here, man? Are the gay monkeys doing cocaine? I don't know. What's going on? Chaz? Yes, well, to Chico's point, the monkeys are living in their truth. And in light of Freaky Friday, I wanted to cover this story.

According to researchers at the Imperial College London, male monkeys regularly have gay sex and are bisexual. The study found that same-sex sexual behavior among monkeys make them better friends and more likely to have each other's back in conflict I'm sure have each other back is this why I'm gonna be bananas all these years Chico that's crazy Chico Chico Chico actual audio to gay monkeys one of the monkey' name is Curious George. Okay. By Curious George would be an amazing children's book. By Curious George. Two more sentences. The findings suggest that same-sexual behaviors have evolved and become more common among primate reproduction,

challenging beliefs that this is rare in non-humans. In other words, they're saying, you know, this is a normal a normal thing if the monkeys are doing it then humans are doing it and so they found that uh 236 males out of the 236 males they studied 72 percent have have had same-sex mounting i have a question though is it are they locked up is it just male monkeys or do they have the option of like to bang a female monkey like oh because that matters i think yeah yeah yeah what does it matter i mean that would be what like if somebody in jail or you say like situation exactly these monkeys are situational uh by six yeah situationally gay is there no female monkeys around listen no i i would assume that um if they're doing a study in this way in order to be able to determine if they're going to pick the male, you know, female would be around.

That would be the assumption. Okay. Yeah. If I created a book called... They're living in their truth. If I created a book called By Curious George, and there was a monkey on the front eating a banana, looking seductive,

how fast do you think Florida would ban it? Sir, the fact that you can develop these stories so quickly is a problem, man. He's monetizing itizing why is it so quick to come to your mind to just think of the stuff that you think of we have to a is on our ass chico no no something else is on your ass something completely different is on your ass baby i'm sorry all right they didn't just ruin boots from dora from you. You just used to love that monkey. Now I brought my child up here.

Now we buy Curious George. And this is just, oh, my goodness, man. I can't wait to see Chico and his daughter having a car ride next week. And she asking questions about the New York trip. Not only that, what did you learn this summer when I went to New York? Oh, yeah. Yes, yes. You might as well.

I learned that Charlemagne rides the wood. Yeah, she definitely does. And he comes up with Bicurious George book titles. And he has a book company, so I feel like he's going to do this. No, I wouldn't do that. Yes, you would. I probably would. Exactly.

All right. Well, that is front page news. Well, before we get out of here, I do want to give a shout out to everybody that donated. We did the story yesterday about the Molina family. Yes. That they were donating for her funeral services. And shout out to the Breakfast Club family for exceeding that donated. We did the story yesterday about the Molina family. Yes.

Everybody good? the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building tk kirkland how you're doing everybody everybody good how you feeling man how the family everybody good everybody's good family i'm just you know you know me old school still out here working still grinding just really just really making moves for a senior citizen i'm glad you're here tk i was thinking about you this weekend man because i feel like it was a lot of things going on that we needed your wisdom on, brother. Okay. You know, like one, number one in general, what's the proper etiquette when you're being serenaded by Usher? If you're a woman.

Hmm. That's a good, that is a real. And you're in a relationship. That's a good question. That's a real good question. And what do you tell your girl when she goes there? I did this on my show last night. I'm going to share something with you guys. When you're a certain man, a woman knows how to move already before you even go out and do something like that.

So if you don't have an understanding already, there's a breakdown in what I call the constitution of your relationship, right? Because there's just certain dudes. A girl ain't even trying that. Correct. This is a fact. Like, she know mama my man to kill me if i do that then there's some women that get caught up and want to show their their bodies and if that's your girl and you know let her have fun and all that because in any place

that's the place to do it and let me say do what you what I mean. I'd rather for a woman, if that's where you're going, to do it there than to be at the grocery store. Than to be walking down to the liquor store that particular way. It was the outing. It was in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was super hot. Now, if you ask me personally, it was something that I would do. The answer is I really don't know, guys. It really would have to be based on...

No, I wouldn't do it. I don't mind the outfit. The outfit ain't bothering me. I don't know guys it really would have to be based on no I wouldn't do it I don't mind the outfit the outfit ain't bothering me I don't care about that I'm just talking about the reaction to him while he's serenading her you know what I'm saying no no he's a he's a he's a performer he's an entertainer it's like the old school days right right when you had the um the teddy pender grasses and uh smokyon's, you're supposed to entertain. I don't think Usher meant any wrong. Usher just was, he's supposed to rule you. Usher's a minister.

Yeah, he's supposed to rule you. The man said, he said, don't leave your girl around me, true player for real. He know what he's doing. All he got to do, TK, is say, where all the single ladies at and go talk to the single ladies. He ain't going to talk to the single ladies. He's going to talk to the ones that he know in relationship right is it that is what makes it bad what he actually did and what she did or was it the fact that it was on social media because think about it it was the fact it was on social media a bunch of fellas go to the strip club they get lap dances yes they get we

know strippers do wild thing flips and things bring them on stage yes there's no cameras to show your girl or your wife when you get home but now she did she enjoyed herself with a night out she had drinks she was feeling good right but it's on social it's on social media and as a g he was never supposed to comment on not publicly not publicly at home you can say at home because men do need to know how to communicate yes i didn't like that that hurt my feelings yes i don't think there's anything insecure about telling your woman i that hurt my feelings i don't like like totally agree you have to what my man say keep as cool as the other side of the pillow you know you never let them see you break never it wasn't worth it because now everybody's in your business and you're looked at a different kind

of way now as a man you know saying and you expose your girl in a bad way if that's your girl you ain't supposed to expose in a bad way you're supposed to pull it to the side and say yo baby i really don't think that was cool you know but was it the outfit or because usher was saying it wasn't the outfit i think it was usher yeah because it was the way she was acting toward yes and she's supposed to act that way that's what happens in those type of shows. You know, you got your girlfriends around. Everybody's having a good time.

You got drinks. And I bet you, she didn't mean nothing by it. I bet you, she was just being flirtatious, having a good time. Just like when you, we go to concerts, you see a dude like girl,

go up there and have a good time. There's some dudes that let their girl just go up there and have a good time. There's nothing wrong with flirtatious, Charlemagne. Really? As long as it's tasteful and as long as the guy is strong with himself. See, because some men only get upset because they know their girl.

They know she can get it. You know what I'm saying? I know who you are. I did it to you. You know what I'm saying? I know who you are. I did it to you. You know what I'm saying? Because I know somebody else could get you. But if you straight. If you straight, no.

If that's something that's tasteful flirting, if you in a relationship, I don't know. Well, you got to think about it like this, right? When men go to the strip club, that's kind of tasteful flirting. That ain't a relationship? I don't know. You got to think about it like this. When men go to the strip club, that's kind of tasteful flirting. That ain't flirting, though. That's me smacking ass. It depends on the woman that you with. I've been to a strip club and you could tell the girl was in there

for the first time. She saw a dude getting a dance and she beat up the girl. True story, dog. See, it all depends on the person. Some people can't take it. So it depends on who you are. Now, she's a ridiculous person.

Yeah. She's at the script club. You know what they expect you to be. Listen to me. Sometimes I think people don't know. They get caught up. Because the girl might have shook her ass a certain way. You know?

And boom. But you have to be strong. But on Kiki, her man should have never just, and no disrespect to her. I don't know his emotion, what his upbringing was, and what he's going through in his life. But for me seeing the video, it wasn't the outfit. It wasn't the outfit, no. They just publicly embarrassed each other. His feelings was hurt.

Yes, his feelings was hurt. That's all. Like you said, you called it tasteful flirting. He probably saw that and was like, man right right right and it might not even be that he it's not that he probably thinks he oh he just think that that's us right that's us that's right exactly exactly yeah if anybody could stay la it would be us i wanted to ask you something else too because that you know like we was talking about everybody was calling the man insecure her baby daddy because he said whatever he said online about the clothes and stuff like that.

Is it wrong for you as a man to say you don't like that behavior? Now, I talked about this the other day. I always tell females that if a man ain't never really checked you, he don't really care about you. He just don't care. And women think we're always trying to tell them what to do. But imagine, you know, when someone's trying to tell you to do that means they care. So imagine if I say, girl, you're not showing your breasts enough please pull your zipper down more and pull your your pants up so i can see that more now that's

disrespectful a man's supposed to always protect a woman i'm gonna give you example once you have a daughter things are different brother that's right i got four got for once you have a daughter you think and move differently like when people say when we even say we want we want a female that is independence but when we think about our daughters we want someone to be on another level to worship your child which was like a double so you know we always say a man got to have this and then you got to bring something to the table but when we think about our girls we want somebody for them to be so on point that it can't be no confusion it can't be oh baby you just can't date anybody somebody you got to date someone or marry someone fly yep exactly i agree with that you know but also when you have daughters you know you want your

daughter to be on a level of having their own as well oh that's the most important depend right so when you see and no disrespect to any woman out there but when you see women talking about yeah i married him to have a baby and i'm sticking him up for thirty thousand dollars right and i'm trying and he's gonna buy me this car yes you know i'm raising my daughters where you can buy your own car right buy your own and what's crazy guys and when you say stuff like that i mean i maybe i was in a dark age i didn't know women really went out and did that to people what you mean try to get people pregnant to get checks yeah absolutely i did yo i really thought that was like no i can't nobody be that foul women used to go to the drafts of the nba and football draft

and try to catch a player or go to the after parties after and try to catch out all the time. We hear all types of stories. We see women like that. A wise man named TK Kirkland once said, I got to meet your parents. I got to meet your parents. That's so true, yo. Because I always tell people, don't get deep into a relationship until you truly meet the

parents because the parents will tell you everything that you're about to go through. You meet the parents. Everything is right there in front of you. All right, we got more with TK Kirkland. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with TK Kirkland. Let me ask you, we were talking about this the other day. This came from Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen. And we were asking, and I guess one of the paparazzi asked the dad, hey, do you approve? And he said, no.

Yes. We were talking about getting approval from the father-in-law, right? So you have daughters. If they started dating, do you want to make sure that you approve of the young man before he marries your daughter? Do you want to be the approval for that situation?

Oh, absolutely. And if you don't approve, what do you tell that young man? Well, I'll give you an example. My daughter is dating a young man from overseas and he came to meet me. How's that mean? Can you imagine meeting TK

after you see his specials, his comedy show, and then I got to pull up to the house and meet this man? Yo, yo, it was very short. You know, sitting in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco, he came, nice guy.

I saw his whole swag and he reminded me of me in a sense you know does that scare you or does that make you happy it didn't scare me because he's from another country and it was a difference right you know everybody thinks different in different countries so basically what i told him was if you got my daughter pregnant i was gonna kill you and your mother i thank you for coming you can go now exactly what i told him exactly what i said he had a little water in his eye because i could tell he was a little frightened but i was very serious how old was he he's like about 19 damn it he came hi mr kirkland and then you replied yeah that's what i said if you get my daughter pregnant i'm gonna kill you and your mother have a nice day yep and he got up and left i kept eating eating my oatmeal. Jesus Christ. But we still cool, though. Like, it wasn't a mean thing. I was just saying, because what happens, I see when young families let their kids have babies,

and they're so happy with no more financial money, no home, and they think it's okay. And people are like, oh, I'm going to be a grandfather, grandmother, knowing that your child is not financially prepared to raise a child. Or even mentally prepared. Or mentally. And that's something I cannot have on my watch. That's all. And I'll do anything to prevent that if I can. So you don't think your daughter's ready?

Or you don't think neither one of them were ready? I just think life. It's just life. Yeah, 19, yeah. Think about my mother, God bless her, she's deceased. She had,

me when she was 19, she had three kids before she was 21. When you think about that now, that's terrible for a grown up to have that many children before 21.

I mean, it was in the 40s, I mean the 60s, but still, I don't care. It's just a hard situation. Well, T mean, the 60s, but still, I don't care. Mm-mm. It's just a hard situation. Well, T.K., you got the Light It Up

workshop coming. That's right. This month in Miami, July 21st. What is the Light It Up workshop? It's teaching people about just how to

obtain finances. Similar to what DJ Envy does with homes. We're just doing it in a different way down in Miami. I got invited, which was blessed

by G-Torch, that I didn't know people was really listening to me about just making moves. So they invited me down. I'm going to go down. And the questions they asked me, you know, I'm just going to give my advice on investments and stock. And I think for everybody, it's also giving people education they might not be able to get right. I always say that the best thing about our community is there's so many people making money we got to go back and show people and try to teach them what to do yes but i also tell people they have to do their due diligence you just can't say well tk did this i'm gonna do it so true you gotta do your due diligence with whatever it is because uh in everything i invest i try to do my due diligence and i'm similar to you i try to put money in

everything yes and i pray that something pops yep that's it that's it how far ahead do you plan in life DK I'm only on the year 2032 hey almost 10 years yeah I'll be 73 years old oh god bless what like what do you what do you what do you write down like goals things you want to do things you want to accomplish I feel like you already you know give me an example like when i do your show okay i always say yeah i see you what in 2025 2026 i always i know in two years i'm gonna come see y'all again yeah and believing that when you get to my age mentally it gives you an incentive to live you know because you have a date to achieve and those things are important to me that if i say i'm going to do something on the date i make sure i i live it was not about a live thing but i make sure i choose

so i take care of myself i try not to have no vices i don't gamble i don't drink you know so i every time i see you guys believe it or not i'm happy like i've seen them again a lot of people come here to me or any um podcast and take it for granted and um you guys know you have seen so many people leave here look at that wall yeah on that wall alone six people mx charlie murphy like man mac philip combat jack yes yes he's i take it i take yeah i take it very seriously guys Because it's a blessing to hang out with y'all It's a blessing to be up here is a blessing because um seven eight years ago You guys changed my career by coming up on this show and ever since then boom. It's been to rockest Arnhem No, you said that's Luther Vlad everybody like to give Vlad credit for that, but I'm like yo TK was coming on Breakfast Club

I've been knowing TK for damn near 20 years. Yeah what happened was Vlad saw me on this show yeah and by the time I got downstairs I guess he saw something that was very interesting in the interview and I didn't know he was he said hey I want to interview you and you guys was teaching me about podcast I didn't know about what podcast was remember I was like what is that i was calling the ipod y'all was laughing at me yeah yeah and um then i wound up doing a show rest is history you know it's it's crazy because you know people talk about the breakfast club good bad but i also talk about a lot of people that say yo you guys really put my career into something it wasn't sinbad said the same thing sinbad came up here and he said you guys open and shout the sinbad i heard he's doing

a lot better so salute the sinbad yep absolutely he said you know we opened him up to a younger generation that didn't know who he was and because of that he started getting more shows and he started seeing a younger demographic in the show and a bunch of people have said that to us which always is giving us a great feeling for doing i'm still gonna do tk's book we did we launched the podcast but i ain't yeah yeah yeah we yeah i'm down with that i get that in my dm pretty much every other dm they want a book when are you gonna do the book people want that game in one place where they can go yeah and i got an idea for it i think you know instead of really talking about me i want to call it the manual because i think the the world needs direction.

And one of my examples, I think people need to be told what to do. I tell people in my stand-up, I like North Korea a little bit before people get upset. I said, let me explain to you. I said, the Williams sisters was told what to do since they was three or four years old, became the greatest tennis players in the world. Floyd Mayweather, since he was seven,

was told what to do, became the greatest boxer the world's ever seen. Tiger Woods was told what to do since he was a kid, became the greatest golfer. I love that idea, but that's why I think you should title the book Who Raised You? Because essentially what you're doing is giving credit to the people

who raised these individuals. Right, that's true. Serena and Venus' father, Tiger's father. Yeah, yeah. These people helped raise them. Right, that's true. Serena and Venus' father, Tiger's father. Yeah, yeah. Or Michael's father. These people helped raise them. I like that. Yeah, I like that. I'm waiting on you.

You know I've been waiting on you. Yeah, absolutely. And that's another thing. I tell people that all the time when TK comes. Who raised you is TK Kirkland. Absolutely. I hear a lot of people

using that now. That is absolutely positive that it's TK Kirkland. Yes. And by the way, I own it, by the way. There you go. I trademarked that years ago.

So I own it. You can't get paid if someone says it, but I could get paid if someone tries to sell things. So it's mine. All right, when we come back, we got more with TK Kirkland. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia.

I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves,

for self-preservation and protection. it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country

into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and everybody is dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with tk kirkland now you're on tour with live nation now man let me tell you that's uh that was a great move shout out to um drew tillman who put that together. What was cool about it, I made Live Nation wait three years

to do that deal. Because, you know me, I've always been independent. And when you got to go through so many levels at Live Nation to deal with people,

that I don't like, but I like the fact that Live Nation, because it's really just a perception. It makes you feel like you're really doing something. But I've been doing this

38 years, so I've seen people blow up, seen people fall off. But my career has just been constantly consistent consider my whole career and i love that so i took the live nation deal and we're gonna do like 56 cities and we're gonna do four countries and i'm just gonna rock it out and see and still do my stuff my own shows and all that and i mean um, Dion Cole was talking last night. We're trying to put something together.

But when we talk about the Netflix deals, because everybody always said TK should do Netflix. And I try to get people game. And this is the game on Netflix, everybody. See, Netflix pays you a one lump sum money and you're done. They own it. They own your like and they do whatever they want to do it well with me on and TK that network and I produce my own shows what I have is what you call a 70 year lifespan on my product so I may not get the seven eight ten million at one time but I'll get it over 70 years meaning is like the Allen Iverson deal

how Reebok paid us with money but he couldn't get this enough money to Lane like well I'm putting my kids names like executive producers or all my product projects when I do leave here guess what they still would get those checks down the line so I'm not getting it all at one time I'm getting it throughout 70 years. We're doing our thing. Got this huge deal with Snapchat. You see the thing on there? Legends, right?

Yeah, Legends is a gentleman named Vic Bacanoff, Mark Bullock. We're all from Jersey City, New Jersey. And they came to me and told me about this deal they put together with Snapchat. And we sat down and talked about it. And it's for athletes, influencers, where Snapchat is going to create a special app for certain people. If you have a following of over 80,000, 100,000 people, where they create your own app for you.

And what Snapchat is going to do, they promote you around around the world like they basically your advertising company then they also have what they call snapchat channels like a show so to all people you have content if you have um movies you create a show you could put it together send it to my instagram or we could tell you where to send it to it before the show was over. And we send it to London. They review it and you can get your own show on Snapchat. So they're doing that.

I thought this was remarkable because the pay is from five to fifty thousand dollars, whereas most companies, YouTube and others only paying one percent. These companies, this company is paying upwards over four or five. And when I read the contract, I was only paying 1%. This company is paying upwards over 4 or 5. And when I read the contract, I was just truly blown away. And it gave me equity in the company. You know I'll be playing. I was going to ask, we talk about, you said you were looking back at some of the stuff that you did. Is there any one thing that you regret at all? I saw you say you regret disrespecting Eddie Murphy and Charlie.

Yeah, but when, because what happens and it's gonna be the last time i talk about this particular story because it's something that one this story happened in 1982 okay i want to make sure people know how young i was as a child over 30 years yeah when you grow up to become a man and um 40 years you grow and you understand life you realize oh these people let me in their home. And when you let somebody in your house, dog, you love them and respect them. That's right. And I didn't understand that as a child.

You trusted. Yep. I didn't understand that as a child. So once I learned life experiences and became a man, so to speak, I realized it was just truly a horrible thing. But the great thing about it is a lot of people don't live long enough to apologize. A lot of people don't live long enough to face their demons, their mistakes. Correct their mistakes.

Correct their mistakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, man, to be my age and to even talk about this, to even apologize to people that I've done things to in my past. Man, this is a... And that's how I continue to keep being blessed. You feel me? Because some people think

I just came out like two years ago. But I've been here... Oh, because they're new to you. Right. They're new to you. Yes, yes. When they hear you tell these stories, they just think,

man, that must have happened yesterday. Right, right, right. And they probably don't realize you're 62 years old. Yes, yes. When they hear you tell these stories, they just think, man, that must have happened yesterday. Right, right, right. And they probably don't realize you're 62 years old. Right, that's true. That's right. Do you still get flack from people who think that fake TK Kirkland account on YouTube is you? People still approach you for that? I've only had one situation for some gang members.

Really? I heard about that. Because the dude, he was violating these guys and they called me and um they's like yo what's up with that guys and i'm talking but you know they heard my tone they said no this is the real tk right here i said yo i'm gonna play them games you know i come from the streets like if you see me in comments going back and forth with people i don't do it i was doing some event and a young lady said, oh, TK, such and such don't want to talk to you.

I said, why? She said, because y'all got beef. I said, no, tell her. I know where that came from. I don't have beef with nobody. I said, whoever she was on social media with, that wasn't me. I was with you one time.

Remember, I was with you in Weezy Weezy from Horrible Decisions. She popped off. She was like, yes, like yes yes yes she thought it was me i thought it was you yeah what was that i can't believe it i can't believe it's the month yeah you're just gonna try to talk to me like you don't be in the comments talking about a young lady that works with him we was in the office and she thought it was me that whole time she was gone oh what are you talking about i said said, no, baby, that wasn't me.

I already know it's crazy. And that's my point. So this gentleman, if you can, we can't stop him because we try to find different ways

to block this dude. You can't stop. I just hope that you can just be careful, my man. Jesus Christ. Because you can put people in a very bad situation.

That's right. And thank God it was on the phone. Imagine we was out and I didn't have time to explain. That's right. Somebody might have it was on the phone. Imagine we was out and I didn't have time to explain. That's right. Somebody might have just popped up. You could have been with your daughter.

Yes. Or family. Somebody pull up before you do anything. You know, like, I didn't even do it. I didn't even do it. But brother,

we appreciate it. Why don't you, you don't, you slow down on the podcast. You don't like doing the podcast? I do the podcast every week. For real? Every week.

You know, I always say he's executive producer of the podcast, but he don't even know we got the podcast. Every week. You don't do the podcast no more? I do it every week. That's when you know you're busy.

That's right. It's TK Kirkland. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. We celebrate. I can understand what Chico do. I can't understand what my brother do.

That's right. That's the point. Chico Bean, Justina Valentine are here. You know they're celebrating the 20th season of Wildin' Out, and they're joining us this morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk lotto. Rumor has it. Rumor.

Rumor has it. Call out a name, or you gossiping, or you chatty-patty. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club.

We told you a million times, stop throwing ish on stage when artists are performing. Well, a lot of us performing over in Germany over the weekend, and somebody threw something on stage. So she said, throw it again. I'm going to beat your ass. Throw it again. How do y'all handle that, Justina? Chico, y'all be on stage a lot. I've had something thrown at me.

It was a long time ago. It was before I was on Wild N' Out. I was in Philly. And, you know, I was opening for someone. And they threw something at me. And I just kept going. It hit me. It kind of hurt, too.

It was like a CD. It was like the hardcover CD. Jesus Christ. And I just kept going. It hit me. It kind of hurt, too. It was like a CD. It was like the hardcover CD. Jesus Christ. And I just kept going with it. So I think it's one of those things. People are going to be crazy. Shorty just got her eye split open on Bebe Rexha. Really? Yeah, they split her eye open on stage.

It's disrespectful, but my thing is, if I'm there and I'm getting a bag and it don't hit me and it don't hurt me, I'm going to keep it going. The show must go on. Yeah, well, God willing, you know, I don't have anything thrown at me. I've never had anything thrown at me. Some panties? Nah. Oh, not yet?

Nah, nah. But it's just, you know, just be prepared for what gets thrown back. That's how I feel. The customer is not always right. You assault me on stage, you're going to get your, Somebody should be able to go in the crowd and whip your ass. But we've seen that before, and you've got to be careful. Somebody throws something on stage, and then now you've got a crowd of 10, 20, 30,000 people. You throw it back, you've got to have really good aim to hit that one person.

Nine times out of ten, you're going to hit the wrong person, you're going to get sued. I'm not talking about throwing a human being back in the crowd. That's what I'm saying. You threw something at me, I'm about to throw this human back in the crowd to come find you for what you threw at me. You've got more to lose, though. I mean, I do. I'm not going in the crowd to look for you.

Isn't that defending yourself, though? If somebody throws something at you on stage and you tell your security, find that person who did it and the crowd points that person out and something happens to the person who threw it at you, that's self-defense to me. That's not self--defense you just can't make anything self defense but uh you probably will go to jail and you probably will that's not right well that person should go to jail too for assault absolutely all the way now we got to talk about devin haney uh

devin haney boxing star was arrested uh on thursday morning following a night out in hollywood after cops pulled him over and found a semi-automatic handgun in his car doing during a routine traffic stop they said he was out at catch la uh he was released on 35 000 bail i'm not mad at boxes carrying guns i just want them to carry legal weapons it's a legal firearm or what uh they didn't say if he was arrested if he was arrested i'm sure no such thing as a legal firearm in los Angeles. I don't think you can have a gun legally unless you like the police out there. But, you know what I mean? I just think that if you got to go places where you got to carry a strap after a certain point, man, just had a party come to you. You know what I mean?

But you know what? It's to the point now where everywhere you go, you nine times out of ten, you need a firearm. You know what I mean? I mean, you look at LA. When I was in LA a couple of weeks ago for the bet awards i mean everybody was saying if you go to a nice restaurant to eat you got to be careful because they're running in restaurants i think what we're saying is if you're worth something you should you should secure it so they should have security yeah maybe not go everywhere with your firearm but go everywhere

with arm security especially him because his hands are illegal. No, that's a myth. The people always say that you gotta get your hands registered. That's not real. You don't get your... For real? You don't have to register your hands. If you're a boxer and you beat somebody up, you're getting an elevated assault charge because you're a fighter. You can't just go and

take pictures of your hands. Yeah, take my hands as registered weapons. But I mean, it's very difficult not to have a firearm you know in most places but you know if you don't live in a state where that's that's you know plausible then you need to move you know i mean if you gotta have a gun if you want those people who don't feel comfortable with security which is understandable because you know what you're going to do in defense of yourself and you don't necessarily know what somebody else is going to do in defense of you.

You need to live in a state where you can have guns. And Florida is one of them. They just passed a law where you can have a gun without a concealed, without even taking a test. So it's places you can go to have a pistol and not get in trouble. It's Los Angeles and New York. It's not one of them. I agree with you, but I'd rather have armed security because we are not John Wick. As much as you think you're going to pull your hammer out when something goes down.

Oh, trust and believe. That's very true. Most people have never fired a gun without earmuffs on, so you don't even know what that ring of that gun sounds like when you let it off in a closed environment. It's a different thing. But that's why you're supposed to go to the range multiple times to learn how to shoot, to learn to be comfortable with your firearm. Not to say that you're going to be John Wick, but

to be able, and you have to know the laws in each and every state because every state is different. Every state is different, right. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Charlemagne. Well, before after the hour we can talk about another type of weapon, a knife. And the damage it can do to a pedophile in prison. We'll discuss. Donk, and the day's coming up.

And iHeart Radio Station. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy.

I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne got some funny sweet s*** out his mouth. If you gotta say something you may not agree with,

doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey.

Donkey. Donkey of the Day, right here. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's at the breakfast club, bitch. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yeah, donkey of the day for Friday, July 14th goes to Larry Nassar. I am sure I've given Larry Nassar donkey of the day before. If you don't know who Larry Nassar is, let me refresh your memory. He's the sports doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing athletes,

including college and Olympic gymnastic stars, and possessing explicit images of children. Let's go to, what's the news report, Eddie? What is it? ABC. Let's go to ABC News. No, is this the original report? Yes. Let's go to ABC News for the original report, please. Stephen and Carolyn, right now, Dr. Larry Nassar is sitting inside a jail cell

in Ingham County in Mason. The former Team USA gymnastics doctor now, Dr. Larry Nassar is sitting inside a jail cell in Ingham County in Mason. The former Team USA gymnastics doctor now behind bars. The 53-year-old saw gymnasts everywhere, at the gym, at his home in Holt, Michigan, on the road. Documents showing he's facing two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a girl under 13. But so far, we've learned 43 have been interviewed ages 11 to 18 accusing the doctor of sexual assault he resigned from team usa sometime last year he was also fired from his job at msu now larry nass is right where he needs to be uh in prison for decades and if you know a thing or two about how prison works people who have committed crimes against kids they do not fare well in prison to say the least okay prison is a living hell for pedophiles

and people who commit crimes against kids just google it google what happens to child molesters in prison and see what comes up they usually don't make it without protective custody and i don't see why they should get protective custody and that's exactly what happened to larry nasa before see larry nasa got attacked in prison for the second time. OK, one I'm about to tell you about that happened recently, but the other happened before he got transferred to this prison that he's now in in Florida. When he was in Arizona, he got attacked within hours of being released into general population. But this time he got attacked in a Florida federal prison. This time he was stabbed multiple times, not just because of what he did but because of what he said let's go to abc news for the report please disgraced former sports doctor larry nasser was

violently attacked at a federal prison in florida according to abc news the inmates were watching the women's wimbledon tennis tournament this past sunday nasser allegedly made a lewd comment to other inmates that comment triggered the suspect and later that day he allegedly went to nasser's cell with a manufactured weapon and stabbed him at least six times nasser suffered a collapsed lung in the attack but is currently in stable condition this man larry nance made a lewd comment about wanting to see girls playing in the wimbledon's women's match you can't make this kind of stuff up if you're in prison for being a pedophile, you shouldn't suggest watching anything kid-related.

Not Cartoon Network, no Disney+, no Nickelodeon, no Nick Jr., nothing. And can I tell you a little about the person who stabbed him? Shane McMillan is his name. He was previously convicted of assaulting a CEO at a federal penitentiary in Louisiana in 2006, and he attempted to stab another inmate to death at a federal Supermax

in Colorado. So he's one of them. He's one of those. When Tony Yale was on Drink Champs talking about members of the Terror Squad dancing with knives, doing the Macarena with knives, doing the Millie Rock with knives, that is this dude Shane. He may not be a member of the Terror Squad, but he's one of those ones. So Larry Nassar said the wrong

thing around the wrong person and got poked up for it now this is what i find interesting about this situation larry nassar been in this prison for a little minute and as far as we know he hasn't been attacked he was attacked within hours at the prison in arizona they clearly believed everything they heard about him they didn't give him no grace at all jumped right on his ass but in florida it feels like they gave him some due process so to speak it feels like some of them might have been like, we don't know if he really did it. Maybe these accusations and allegations are false.

We don't know. So they fell back. They let him get comfortable. You know, gave him a little time because who you are will eventually always reveal itself. And Larry Nassar got so comfortable that he eventually let people know exactly who he is by making a lewd comment about the girls playing in the Wimbledon tennis match. I don't know how old the women were but whatever he said made shane say to himself oh no oh hell no okay whatever they said he did he did it and now larry got to feel a little poke coming through okay several of

them all right because that knife got too close and he was taken to a hospital he remained in stable condition with injuries including a collapsed lung this is a situation where justice has been done and served done because he's currently doing 60 years in federal prison on child porn charges and served because he got served the punishment or should i say punishments that he deserved please let remy ma give larry nasa the biggest hee hawhaw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Goodness gracious. That's one to do when my child is here. That is a very unique one right there.

That's crazy. And then Shane McMillan, like, if you got put out of two federal facilities and sent to Florida, what does that say about Florida? Goodness gracious. You get put out to feds and sent to Florida. What does that say about Florida? Goodness gracious. You get put out to fairs and sent to Florida. That's amazing right there. Salute to Florida.

All right. Second time Larry Nass has been attacked in prison. You know what they say, too. Third time is the charm. Somebody going to make sure they get the job done the next time. Either that or Larry going to kill himself. All right. Either way, what's for breakfast?

That is donkey of the day. Now, can we bring your daughter to the mic? Because're still on bet and i know you got some promo to do so you got to do it while you're on bt so come up to the mic right fast come on don't come on now this is chico beans for these moments this is chico beans daughter she does all chico's uh promo so yeah she's she's the the head of promotion and you know i mean she's in charge of all of my promotions now if you watch our videos you know that she is you know creative in all different types of ways so they brought me up here for promo for season 20 a while and out but i wanted to make sure that i'm doing everything i'm supposed to do in my promo so what do i got so as the credits roll and talk to the mic and

Well, let's open up the phone line. Speaking of friends, 800-585-1051. The game, the rapper of the game says y'all are putting too much pressure on your friends. This is a good one. He says y'all put too much pressure on your friends. We are all grown now. If a friend can't make it, they can't make it. If you ain't talk to your friend in two weeks, that's okay.

If they get to sit out your birthday festivities because the money's messed up or they got other things to do, it's okay. People got kids, husbands, boyfriends, wives, girlfriends, careers. So that is the question. 800-585-1051. Do you put too much pressure on your friends you know things change you know y'all used to be cool y'all can hang out all the time y'all was all broke we could play video games basketball but now people got families let's discuss when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same when

it's time to get with someone special the best way to do it is with magnum large size condoms that gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor, and it means you're protected. And you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard. Magnum large-size condoms. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time.

Pick up the phone, baby. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We are celebrating the 20th season of Wild N' Out. We have cast members every morning this week,

and we have Chico Bean and Justina Valentine this morning. And we're asking, this comes from a comment that Game said yesterday. We're talking about friends. Do we put too much pressure on our friends? That is the question. You know, things change. You know, at one time, yeah, it was easy. We'd play ball all day long. We'd play video games. You know, we'd go out and hang, go to the

clubs and all that. But now, when you get a little older, you got families. There's things to to do do we put too much pressure on our friends that is the question we start with you justina yes because some of your friends you know they just don't progress with you they want to stay bums they still selling regular weed and you still love them it's the truth but you gotta love them from afar because we're not selling regular weed no more like we're doing different things. And then those people become liabilities because I have some friends that I love and I grew up with, but I can't bring them around anymore because I don't know what they're going to do.

And then they're a reflection of me. So you got to love them from a distance, not bring them to your industry events. And, you know, it's a space in your heart. You are the celebrity of the crew, right? You're on Wild N Out. You're doing so many different things. had a movie you got records so when they have events you are the person they expect to come because they want to show you off to their friends right and that's not a real friend and and it's like a meet and greet when you think you're going to someone's birthday or like family party so it's like you got to pick and choose when you do it you

can't do all of them and if they're really your friend they're gonna understand and there's a lot of people that don't understand but like i said just buy a bounce buy a little ounce of regular weed from them and keep it moving chico yeah let's not uh disparage regular weed there's still a market for that out here there is definitely a market and there's some successful salesmen of regular weed so salute to those dudes but i think that i just think people are dependent upon what you bring when you have a certain type of energy so i never fault people for being upset about not being able to have my presence because i understand the type of energy that i bring to any situation so i think that we have a responsibility as people who have been given the blessings that we've been given if somebody is really your friend and somebody you really love

them to sit them down and explain what comes with this because they don't understand. They just see what they think is going on. It's times that you have to take the time out to say, hey man, this is the reason why this has to change and this is different and this is different. I think without doing that, you're just leaving them to their own devices

and you're not allowing them to understand what comes with a level of success that most people never reach. Like how many DJ En m's in your family right how many charlemagne's in yours it's only one of those you know i mean so when you are that one you it comes with a greater responsibility i will say this you know for me it's not even the money the celebrity or the fame it's more of the family right i got six kids and a wife so it's like it's separating that time so if somebody has a birthday party or something has somebody, I got to split that time with my kids playing football, my kids playing basketball, or me just trying to be there

for my kids. You know, like you said, we are on the road. We're doing shows. Sometimes you're lucky enough where you can take your daughter because it's summertime. She doesn't have school. But the times when we are home, it's like, I want to get that time in that I missed. You know what I mean? And sometimes I'll be like, I'll be honest. I don't want to go. I want to spend the time with my wife. I want to get that time in that I missed. You know what I mean? And sometimes I'll be like, I'll be honest.

I don't want to go. I want to spend the time with my wife. I want to spend the time with my kids. That's right. I like seeing the moments of, you know, like this weekend was, I called my daughter Jailbird, right? This was the first time she broke out of her crib. Like she hopped over the thing. Like I was there for that.

But if I'd have been on the road, I would have missed that. You know what I mean? Right. But that comes with a level of being in the game for a certain amount of time. And certain things is never going to impress you anymore because you've been doing this for 30 years. Right. So if you're still trying to get the pleasure of being in the club after 30 years, of course you tripping. You know, I'm talking about for those, that progression, the process of progression throughout your career.

You've had to teach people as they go with you now if you 30 years in and it's still somebody mad at you you don't want to come to the strip club then that's not your friend right but somebody who understands you grew them to understand that hey i got six kids now now it's time for me to dedicate myself this direction like most people don't understand it if you don't teach them because they don't ever get to the position to be able to do the things that you do being somebody who's successful. Yeah, I agree with Game for the most part. I agree with most of what he's saying because if you're my friend, you're my friend.

But I'm not going to put pressure on you. I'm not going to stress you to show up everywhere just because you're my partner. But you also got to know your friends, right? All my people know how I am. Folks know I don't like to go out, okay? You know what I mean? But I do think you have to make time for your real friends. know i mean i have friends that i want to see at least once a month i like kicking it with them so you know we make sure we we get up and politic at least once a month but i'm also

in a blessed position that i have you know business with my friends and you know i work with my friends and like you know we end up in a lot of the same spaces like even last night going out to the you know the book of whole thing my best friend my wife is with me but then like it's like angela rye is there you know tamika mallory is there like these are my people my son is there he's my partner so it was good that all of us could get together for for moments like that and you've upgraded your circle you know i mean you've upgraded the circle of people that you're able to operate with most people don't that's what i'm saying they don't have the access that you have so if you upgrade your friends like all of us in here have the same level of access depending on where we are most people that come with you

only gonna have that access if you're there so you gotta be able to help your friends upgrade their access you know I mean and I think that comes with that level of training throughout the time but I also like even with my friends I like to invite them to my crib and the reason why I be my friend cuz now everything's at my crib I got my kids here I got my wife you bring your kids's at my crib. I got my kids here. I got my wife. You bring your kids. Now, it's family. We can sit there. We can drink. We ain't got to worry about getting home. We ain't got to worry about what happens out

there. And we can just enjoy. Hey, baby. You can do both. We're going to DJ Envy's house. He just invited us. That's what it is. We get to come to his house and see how he live it. Come on through. We can buy some bracelets as an entry fee. But we're going. Hello, who's this? I'm Gary here from Houston.

What's up, brother? Talk to us. We're talking about, do we put too much pressure on our friends? Yeah. I think a lot of it has to do with females. I've seen female friends break up over birthdays. I've seen that a lot. A lot of my guys that I've been with since high school,

we probably see each other every once in a while, but it's not really that important to us. You know, we know what we got things to do. But females, yeah. Is that true, Justina? Real serious. So, listen, Justina, if you got homegirls and they don't repost you on Maxim Cover,

do you feel like they're not your friends? No, it's all good. Listen, I think you got to accept people for who they are and how much they can give you. You know what I mean? Because everyone's not the same. So, you know, you can reciprocate the energy or just know who that person is. But females with their birthdays, yes, a lot of them are crazy.

If you miss a birthday event, like, you are out of their friend circle. I don't know why females are like that. I'm not like that. I'm the type I like to celebrate other people. But some females don't play about that. I've seen girls not speak to other girls that was like one of their besties because females don't play about that i've seen girls not speak to other girls that was like one of their besties because they couldn't make it to a birthday trip which is crazy as they do yeah they don't play with it i said you get bad for not posting

like not posting a friend on a birthday not posting a maxim cover not posting an event i see that before but i can understand where that comes from too because most people that the most exciting time of their year is their birthday you know that's the only day that is all about them for real that's the only day that they get celebrated and then it's about them like their life is horrible except for this is the only time i get to be excited and people are happy to be around me you kind of forced to be happy to be able to be around somebody on their birthday so when it's like a like a birthday trip or birthday dinner and somebody be like, I'm good, now you really don't got to deal with me because you don't rock with me the rest

of the year anyway. And you missed my birthday dinner, so that's why I think people get mad at that because most people get their happiness on their birthday. So listen, what if your friend call you and says happy birthday and pours into you? Wouldn't you rather that than the public display of affection on social media?

No. People want the public display more than anything else. They don't even care if you call them. They just want you to show it publicly. Let's talk about it some more when we come back. And I don't really do the birthday dinner because I know that trick, right? That's the trick. Yo, Envy!

Hit a bill. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Now, 800-585-1051. Do we put too much pressure on our friends? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Go. Daddy, call on my phone. Tell her, tell her. Man, it's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just joined us, we're asking, do we put too much pressure on our friends? Now, this comes from The Game. The Game left a comment. I'm going to read some of it. I thought it was pretty interesting. Who read better, you or Jess or Larry? Or should I say, who read worse? Jess or Larry?

I still love Jess, though. I love Jess' accent. You need to be a segment. Jess Lowry's. I still love Jess, though. I love Jack's accent. Like, when she, you, you, you. That need to be a segment. Who raised their hand on the breakfast club and just get people

to call in and read out loud? That'd be crazy. Who raised their hand? You know, who raised their hand? Chapter.com, Rollins, Ash and Lowry. You know,

I used to bet them every morning and I was like, if you can read this sentence or this paragraph without messing up, I'll give you $100 and I would win every morning. Really?

Yeah, we need to do that. That needs to be a good segment. And he's stalling now. He's stalling because he had to read over it a couple times. Now I had to pull it up. Now the game said y'all put too much pressure on friends. We are all grown now. If a friend can't make it, they can't make it.

If you ain't talk to your friend in two weeks, that's okay. It's coming. If they got to sit you out there. See that? It's bigger. Hooray. if they got to sit you out coming up next we got charlemagne the god giving a shot on who raised their hand y'all put too much pressure on friends we are all grown now if a friend can't make it they can't make it if you can't make it. If you ain't talk to your friend in two weeks, that's okay. If they got to sit out your birthday festivities because money funny, that's okay.

We grown now. Got kids, husbands, boyfriends, wives, girlfriends, careers. It's just not enough time in the day to give you a man, kids, customers, clients, work friends, siblings, etc. 100% and still be mentally stable. We are at an age now where it's when we see each other, we see each other. When we do be present and love on each other during that time. My mother was an English teacher. Ladies and gentlemen, and the winner of Who Raised His Hand is Charlamagne.

I'm a New York Times bestselling author, sir. Even your inflections were just perfection. That's somebody that get paid to read ads right there. That's what that is. Let's go to the phone lines. We got Kiera. Good morning, Kiera. Hello.

Hey. What's your thoughts? Do you put too much pressure on your friends? You're supposed to. You're really supposed to. People let you love too easy these days, Denvi. And that's why everybody turning out so selfish. I can't tell you how many things

I do for people They need to reciprocate that It's true Real friends if there's a gap One month, two weeks We all cool, we fine I'm in Miami I can hit up my girlfriend in New York

When I feel like it But you have people And I call them vampire leeches They like to come, suck everything from you, and they don't give nothing back. Thousands of hours counseling people on the phone.

What you saying? No, me and my kids and everything, help everybody out, but when it's time, no, they don't turn up. People just turn up. That's why everybody

is so selfish these days. I do agree with her. You do have to reciprocate. Like, you know, if this person has shown up to your birthday party or this person has, you know, hit you up to say happy birthday or whatever, you should reciprocate that. That's the least you can do. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? My name is Stephon.

Hey, Stephon. Good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing today? Good, good, good. You put too much pressure on your friends? Man, I used to when I was younger, but as I got older, you know,

I kind of relied on everybody. I had that own life. I had to stop looking through my own eyes to be empathetic and be free. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story, guys? We'll be ending this. How are we closing this out?

I mean, I think the moral of the story is just reciprocate the energy, right? Like, you should match energies with your friend. Yeah. And I think if you're busy enough with your own life, you understand the next person when they can't make it to an event so you know those friends that that get upset like that they probably are not in the same space or place as you so you know justine and chico justine is there somebody you got mad at for not posting your maximum cover chico there's somebody that didn't repost 85 south shore on netflix no i reposted it not

at all i can care less like that little one back there make sure i stay in pocket on what's important so i really don't care about what anybody else thinks as long as she cool i think having children changes you in that regard like that's the opinion that matters you know if you're a friend that's a little different than having somebody who you're responsible for and who you're obligated to. So that's what I dedicate most of my energy to. So anybody who can't figure and fit in around that ain't a friend to me anyway. So it makes it easier to be able to identify what matters and who don't post me or who don't say happy birthday and who don't appreciate my accomplishments don't matter because to me as long as she with whatever i got going on i'm good i will say this i think i speak

to my i speak to my my true circle of friends every day every day somebody don't good morning yo you good just checking up on you or whatever maybe we're in a group chat i speak to them every day at least a text at least a text i might making that on the phone, but a Lisa text. Is that necessary, though, for friendship? No, not for me. That's not necessary. If y'all stop talking tomorrow, every day, would that change the dynamic of y'all friendship? No. Then that's what I think we need to leave it at.

You know, if you really are friends and it's somebody you really love, then it doesn't matter if the communication stops. You can stop communicating for months or years, but whenever we come back in, it's like we never left. That's how I feel. That's how I feel. That's exactly how I feel. That's a real quick question, right, for the parents. Should our children be our friends? You know they always say your children shouldn't be your friends. Yes.

Like the oldest daughter gets you 15. That's my little partner. You know what I mean? Man, listen. My daughter must have my friends. Man, my daughter is my partner. I understand you can't be, in my in my opinion you can't be you know naive to the reality of the fact that these kids have access to way more information than we did it was

much more difficult for our parents to be friends with us because of the world that we lived in and the lack of information that we had now being dishonest with your children the way that you had to kind of be dishonest with us when we were growing up, you can't do that because all they're going to do is pick the phone up and see that you're full of stuff. Right. I quote myself, you see, all the way. So I think that it is possible to be friends. Now, you can't, you know, let your kids look at you as somebody that they can be friendly with all the time.

You've got to have a level of respect there. But I want my daughter to be comfortable to talk to me as though she would talk to one of her buddies. Absolutely. Because I want that information to come to me first so I can help her navigate through whatever the world has for her that I've already experienced that she hasn't. So I want to be my kid's friend. I love trolling my oldest daughter. We be playing the pause game. You know what I'm saying?

Because this generation isn't that far removed. You play the pause game with your 14-year-old daughter? Because they do it. Yeah, they do it. Like the same way Logan want to be in the group chat with us, his son. Yeah, if my son want to be, he was like, yeah, put me down. I'm like, I'm not putting you in the group chat with me, gentlemen. Hey, Logan, you do not want to see what your father and this man talk about.

You do not want to see the pictures and stuff they send to each other, Logan. Stay out of there. Stay out of the matrix. All right, when we come back, we got Pastor Ox Nala will be joining us. So don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

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.

It's a lot of butt talk today. Yeah, I see how you deflected from what your shirt said. Yo, the shirt says sexy. It's a play off Pepsi and I think it's cute. Yeah, I see how you deflected from what your shirt say. Yo, the shirt says sexy.

It's a play off Pepsi, and I think it's cute. Pepsi, if you want to sponsor me, holla at me. And it's appropriate because, you know, you are sexy. Thank you. Hello? Period. Okay, so today for Pass the Axe, we're going to start with Bobby Boucher, which is a new record by Earthgang featuring Spillage Village.

Yeah. I'm just a little confused by it because Earthgang is a part of Spillage Village, but it has both names here, so nonetheless. Okay. Shout out to Earthgang. Spillage Village is Earthgang or who else? It's Earthgang, Black, JID, and

Merba. I think Spillage Village is a great name for a destination and a porn too, by the way. Hey, man, listen. First of all, hey, man, listen, man. we need to get this dude canceled no what do you mean canceled that's very tricky right now we need to get him canceled because of the just he just makes you feel uncomfortable man why do i have to imagine Spillage Village in a poem? You have VR glasses on and Spillage Village. Yo, chill. That is a good name, though.

I'm interested. Of course you're interested, because you're a white woman, and that's the type of stuff that you would start with. That sounds like a good poem. I mean, listen, you're casting for Charlemagne. I'm sending my tape. Go ahead, Nala. I want to hear the next song.

And Jordan Bryant. I'm sorry he's also in Spillage Village but moving on the next record is by Kota the Friend he's an independent artist out of Brooklyn but he's a really big

independent artist so I just wanted to what's his name again Kota the Friend okay Kota the Friend and this record's called Barcelona well that made me

want to shout Bizarra for real for real what's dope about it though is that me want to shop is Zara. For real. What's dope about it, though, is that he's really living the life that he's talking about. Like, he's been an independent artist, and now he's at a point where he's able to have a summer house in Barcelona, and he can, like... He can be like that? He's doing pretty good.

Nice. It's dope. I like it. And I feel like all y'all can relate to it because y'all living pretty lavish lives too. Nah, I shop at Zara. That's why I can relate to it because that just sounds like when you walk in the outlet mall right there.

That's a good one. That's a vibe. Outlet mall music. A bunch of white people doing their head like this. Outlet mall music. Just for the record, he also did like three mixtapes with Static Select. So he does like rap, rap, rap.

Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. This is just more of a mainstream appeal, I would say. All right, and then the last record is another independent artist. His name's Fable. He does R&B. He kind of reminds me of like- Fable?

Fable? Yeah, y'all know Fable? From Atlanta? Yes. Fable. Snapping like you could. Like Fable. Atlanta Fable?

I'm signing these spaceships on Bankhead, Fable. D4L Fable? No, it's got to be- No, it's somebody different. R&B Fable. Like y'all can spaceships on Bankhead, Fable? D4L Fable? No, it's gotta be something different. R&B Fable? Like y'all can't just be taking legends names. Fable is it F-A-B-L-E or F-A-B-O? F-A-B-O. Oh no, no, no.

We gave Lord Nas X a pass. But y'all can't just be taking legends names and running with them now. Come on man, Fable. You don't know Fable? Fable wanna kill Mike Albin right now. He on something for junkies. Laffy Taffy. You know Laffy Taffy.

You a DJ. That's Fable? No. I don't. You don't know Fable? Fable will kill Mike Alvin right now. He on something for junkies. Laffy Taffy. You know Laffy Taffy. You a DJ. Yeah. That's Fable.

Scotty's calling me. I got that GV. I'm in the da-da-da-da. Oh! So you know this? That's Fable. That's Fable. But this is a different Fable.

I mean. We know different Fable. We know one Fable. This is R&B Fable. You'll like it. No, man. Come on. Let's get into it. It's called Love Song. I like it. The real fable with y'all.

I mean, he got to put the real fable on there. He got to get a real fable on feature on there. Oh, yeah. Come on now. Come on now. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. The real fable with a body that record. All right.

Candy girl. Oh, say that laffy taffy. Hey. That laffy taffy. Hey. Say that laffy taffy. Hey. That laffy taffy.

Hey. Laffy taffy. That's Fable. I can't stand you guys, but for real, if you guys are into sexy R&B, check out Fable. Man, pull up Fable Scottie, man. No disrespect to Fable R&B. You got to change your name, K. That's, ohable R&B. You gotta change your name, K. That's, oh, all right.

You gotta change your name. You can't be running right here with a legend's name. I like it. That's it. That's it. It's not that it wasn't good, but I see what Charlamagne's saying.

It's like, you know, if someone already has that name, it's like, you know. A legendary name. That'd be like somebody. But I feel like they're in different pockets. Like it's like someone

can't just come out and have the name Jay-Z one day. It don't make somebody different pockets like it's like someone can't just come out and have the name jay-z it don't make different pockets same jeans though so you gotta change you gotta put some pants fable if like if he spelt it completely different like p-h-a-f-o-b at least a different spelling you know i mean fable or something like that like he had to he had to change it man the only way that works is if his name is actually Fable and then it still wouldn't work because Fable's name is actually LeFavian.

And if his name is Fable, he's got to be named after Fable. What if it's his real name? That don't even make any sense. If it's his real name, he's named after Fable from D4L. If anybody named Fable is named after Fable from D4L and If anybody named Fable is named after Fable from D4L,

if your name is Fable... I see what you're saying. It's okay. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their son RZA. That's fine. After RZA. Okay.

After RZA, right. And if that son grows up to be an artist and his name is RZA, we will not judge him or criticize him because his name is actually RZA.

But how do y'all know that this guy's name is not actually Fable? We don't yet. We don't know. So the jury's out. If it is Fable, we know where it came from he's named after

the dude so Spaceships on Space you know people are sending me records Melorack sent me Beast Mode another artist sent me records

Why you doing other plugs right now? What's that mean? A lot of artists are sending me records. They want you to hear it. So how can... It got to be something other than Instagram.
