So President Biden is pledging $150 million in new federal grants to fight cancer, adding that cancer surgery is taxing and a challenging procedure. Let's hear more from President Biden. Folks, it's fair to say one of the most devastating words anyone can hear, and it's not hyperbole, is cancer. And we're moving quickly because we know all families
Starting point is 00:04:24 touched by cancers are in a race against time. It takes the best surgeons in the world and it takes us to our families. As Jill said, it steals time, steals away hope. Yeah, so President Biden made the comments while speaking from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and announced that the funding will help develop new technology to help surgeons remove cancerous tumors. It's the latest infusion of funding for Biden's Cancer Moonshot Initiative that aims to reduce U.S. cancer death by 50% by the year 2047.

Now, the Harris campaign said the vice president will outline a plan to lower costs for middle class families and take on corporate price gouging over the weekend. Harris also said she supports eliminating taxes on tips, which is a position that former President Donald Trump actually initiated. And looking ahead to the future, the Olympic flag is officially in Los Angeles, California, where it will live through the end of the 2028 Summer Games. Casey Wasserman, the chair of the Los Angeles Olympic Organization Committee,
Starting point is 00:06:13 says reality is starting to set in. Let's hear more from Casey Wasserman. I think it's real.

The opening ceremony is going to be here before we know it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 The days are not going to go by quick. The days are going to go by the same way that they've been going by for the last four years. And I think that we all need to enjoy the moment. OK, they're just excited. Sure. Years away. That's a long time. We got a whole year.

Starting point is 00:13:02 He even said to himself, I'm Donald Trump in the white teeth and white walls. The conversation is money, n****. You want some? Come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Like, we're not gonna act like that. Y'all gonna stop playing. Like, no. All of a sudden, we just wake up in the day and just act like we're gonna hate him.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And Kamala has never identified as black. You need to stop saying that. Tell me one video where she said she's black. She's a black woman. She has. She has said that. Kindheart. We but she said she's black. She's a black woman. She has. She has said that.

Starting point is 00:13:46 was acting with Vivian Ramos-Walman, it just ain't, it ain't to be respected. No, man. It's coming out to the Black Conservative podcast.

Starting point is 00:14:17 I do wonder why he feels like if I'm talking in support of one candidate, I'm tap dancing. But when he talks in support of a candidate, it's okay. That don't make no sense to y'all? Why you trying to argue with OG kind of hard? I'm not arguing with him. I'm just saying. I was going to say it's because you're black, but he damn sure was black. Yes. Leave OG kind of hard alone.
Starting point is 00:14:39 And listen, Kamala does have policies that I like. I like that she wants to rebuild the middle class. I like that she wants everybody to have the opportunity to own middle class. I like that she wants everybody to have the opportunity to own a business. I like that she wants everybody to have the opportunity to own a house. I like that she wants to put more money in working class people's pockets. And by the way, those have been her policies and her ideas since 2020 when I was on the campaign trail with her back then. I like that.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yo, anytime you get anywhere near politics, people just start picking so much apart. I couldn't be a politician. I'm not like that. It's too much. You got to be able to hear both sides. You got to be able to listen to both sides. And what we always say is you vote your interests. You vote what resonates with you.

Kehlani is going through it with her child's father. His name is Javon, and she just was awarded a court order protection from him. And this court order protection makes it where he cannot go within 100 yards of her or their daughter, nor can he be in contact with her. Kehlani also, because of this court order, was granted full custody
Starting point is 00:18:05 of their daughter, at least until they go to court. So, some background. When Kehlani filed this, she alleged that the child's father
Starting point is 00:18:14 flew into, like, this rage after she came to him asking him about a document that she got in the mail that said that he had applied for public assistance.
Starting point is 00:18:23 She claims that he was living with her, like in her back house. And all he would do all day is like smoke weed, do shrooms, and kept the back house dirty. She says that like the baby girl would go over in the back house with him sometimes. And when she would come back over to Kehlani's house,
Starting point is 00:18:37 the baby girl would smell like a ton of weed. She says that he gets high sometimes and goes on these like off the wall religious rants. She also alleges that he picks up their daughter goes on these off-the-wall religious rants. She also alleges that he picks up their daughter sometimes from school and then won't communicate where they're going after. So Kehlani sometimes doesn't even know where he is with their daughter. She says that he's disturbing her peace of mind. It's a lot here. Now, Javon got online and he made claims and posted text messages that are allegedly
Starting point is 00:19:06 between him and kaylani and then uh there's another text between him and kaylani's ex javon is the baby daddy javon is the baby daddy um so basically you got something on your lip thank you you're welcome oh no so so so in the first group of text messages with javon the baby daddy and kaylani they're having a conversation about this a time when whoever because kaylani is saying that when he got upset about her asking about the public assistance he like bust through her door and like you know made this whole scene he's basically a kool-aid man what continue okay um he's saying that that is not what happened he's alleging that kehlani was the one who barged through a door and that's how all of that stuff happened he's also claiming that he was uh early on saying that there needed to be a third party in between them for communication
Starting point is 00:20:00 um saying that you know she just makes things really difficult when it comes to their child he also said that he wanted to set up a third party communication when it came to like the baby's scheduling activities, school. He basically just didn't want to be in contact with Kaylani because he felt like she had a tendency of like lying on him and just alleging different things. And then he posted these conversations between him and who was supposed to be her ex and he's saying that she alleges rape and she alleges abuse anytime she's upset about something so they definitely need a third party they definitely need a mediator they need somebody else there you know i guess not
Starting point is 00:20:37 to corroborate the stories but just to make sure none of that type of stuff flies but and by the way both of them should want that both of them should want a mediator because it sounds like they can't they're not capable of dealing with each other one-on-one but they moved him out the back house though right so they don't see each other anymore like that right i mean i'm assuming so because he has to be 100 yards away from her um we don't know how far the back house is from the house i'm assuming that he's not in that back house anymore i'm just talking yeah because she said that like in in um in the filing she put in the filing that like she had blocked him some time ago and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So it makes it seem like there had already been some separation, but she did all of this because from how Kehlani feels, it seems like she's worried that he just goes off the rails. But he's saying that she has a tendency to lie and make accusations when she has nothing else to do. And then Kehlani came online not too long ago um a few hours ago and she posted in response she said i did not make a statement nor did i go to tmz about my business because tmz originally reported this story now they originally reported this from docs that were filed so she's claiming that all i got out of everything you just said that they definitely need some type of mediator they are clearly not not able to just co-parent with just each other.
Starting point is 00:21:45 And it's all about the child at the end of the day. So they need a mediator. Yeah, and the baby's five. So the baby's so, like, it's definitely time for a mediator. But it's just so insane to me because I remember when, like, Kehlani first got pregnant and there was, like, the conversation around him. I thought that this was going to be a cool situation for her because it seemed
Starting point is 00:22:01 like they were just kind of like two friends who decided to like be together and have a kid. Like, and now, all of this is happening so they're definitely
Starting point is 00:22:09 not friends right now. So that's a little, I don't know. But, I hope they figure it out. Moving on, Prize has dropped a diss track
Starting point is 00:22:17 to the legend Lauryn Hill. Prize is a legend too though. It's called Bar Mitzvah. Man, I know studios hate to see Prize coming without the Fugees. Man, I know studios hate to see props coming without the Fugees.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Like if you're going to do a record that you know is going to end up all over the blogs because you threw a shot at Lauren, at least make it good.
Starting point is 00:22:34 You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that wasn't it at all. At least make it good. That wasn't it at all. That beat hard though. That beat is hard. Because he sampled a classic record.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I know. That'd be hard. All right. right well let me get on it it's called bar mitzvah that bar need to be closed i mean so the one bar whoa the one bar don't blame okay i mean it's not like it's don't blame me blame her she made the mess another penny is what i told y clef i'm not spending another uh effing penny that's what i told y clef i'm not mad at that ain't that bad well pros tied to lauren messing the money up yeah that's what it is so basically you guys know that their 18 city tour was recently canceled uh lauren hill came out and said because when it was canceled everybody was like well shoot she don't show up she's late blah blah so it makes sense
Starting point is 00:23:24 that it was canceled um in north america um so then lauren hill came out and she said it was canceled everybody was like well shoot she don't show up she's late blah blah so it makes sense that it was canceled um in north america um so then lauren hill came out and she said it was canceled because the media sensationalizes things about her that are not true and that has negatively affected how like the fans are looking at her in certain areas it's not true lauren that you show up to shows late all the time and you've been doing that for 20 plus years like i don't know how i don't know how Lauryn Hill still has the consumer trust that she has. Meaning, I don't know why people still buy tickets to the shows when they go on sale. She's still a legend. She's still an icon.
Starting point is 00:23:52 People still want to see it. But you still got to respect your audience. I agree. That's unprofessional. But that's the reason why people still go out and see it because regardless She stay leaving y'all hanging. She do. She worse than a black father. But that's not true. We defy that stereotype. Damn, you're a black father, but that's not true. We've got that stereotype. Damn, you're a black father.
Starting point is 00:24:06 I'm a black father. What you talking about? Wow. We've defied that stereotype. First, you up here dancing for the people. Now you just degrading your black men. You know what bothered me the most out of that whole? What?
Starting point is 00:24:17 This. That problem. This therapist. Therapy is great. We all need a therapist. He said he got a head doctor. Man. And I. Wait, can i go back also
Starting point is 00:24:26 i'll be talking to y'all niggas like this y'all both said that in unison like he he said he got a head doctor like that was so it was a bar as we wrap kaylani i want to update kaylani did kick out the the baby daddy boyfriend he did get kicked out of the house you asked me was he still living in the back house he's he is not back in the back house anymore. Why are you looking at me like that? Because you was just having fun over here. Funny spoiler.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I got to complete my story. I got to get it out. And also, too, y'all phone was, it was childish. Debbie Downer. It was very childish. Debbie Downer over there. I was having some fun at Prada's expense. Hold on, guys. I've got to say one thing.
Starting point is 00:25:07 You know what I mean. Kalani did kick him out the house. Shout out to the journalists. Back to the front. Shout out to the journalists. All right. Where we're live. Who know how to complete a story.
Starting point is 00:25:15 When we come back, we've got front page news. And then Michael Rubin will be joining us at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Jess is on maternity leave. So we have Lauren LaRosa filling in and let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:25:34 What up, Morgan Woods? Hey, y'all. Hey, good to be back. So Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz says he's proud of his military career, his record. Let's salute Tim Walz for his service. He addressed the recent questions about his military career from the Trump campaign while in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday. Let's hear more from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. I signed up for the Army National Guard two days after my 17th birthday. I served for the next 20 or four years for the same reason all my brothers and sisters in uniform do. We love this country. And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person's service record.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent, I just have a few simple words. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. You know, I have no problem with people questioning Tim Wall's military record if they feel like, you know, he said something sketchy. But the problem I have with this discussion is Tim Wall has bought up's military record if they feel like he said something sketchy. But the problem I have with this discussion is Tim Wall's bought up his military record to simply say weapons of war
Starting point is 00:26:30 or weapons I used in war shouldn't be in the hands of civilians. Correct. How did we let them deflect and distract from that point? The actual conversation that we should be having about weapons of war should not be in the hands of civilians. How do we let
Starting point is 00:26:45 them deflect from that to turn into people questioning tim wall's military record it's the real housewives effect controversy sales i don't understand but i i agree with him a thousand percent i don't feel like civilians should be carrying weapons that should be used at war i don't there's no reason for you even if you're using it for for hunting you're not shooting a deer 110 times or bear 110 times you don't need those type of weapons, in my opinion. And this is where Republicans win. This is where the Donald Trumps and the J.D. Vance and all of them win because they get you talking about what they want to talk about as opposed to whatever issue you're bringing up. Tim Walz brings up weapons of war and how people shouldn't have weapons of war in the street. And all of a sudden it's like, you didn't carry no weapons of war.
Starting point is 00:27:22 You lied about your record. And now we've been talking about this for the whole week. Well, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate J.D. Vance has suggested that Walls inflated his credentials and that he abandoned his unit ahead of his deployment to Iraq, avoiding serving in a war zone or to avoid serving in a war zone. The Harris campaign changed Walls' bio, which discussed his military rank after the questions first arose. Now, Walls served in the Army National Guard and left service to run for Congress in May of 2005. Meanwhile, the U.S. is preparing for a potential Iranian attack on Israel. Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder told reporters the U.S. is focused on de-escalating the situation in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Let's hear more from the Pentagon Press Secretary. During a phone call on Sunday to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, the Secretary reiterated the United States' commitment to take every possible step to defend Israel. Secretary Austin ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, equipped with F-35C fighters, to accelerate its transit to the Central Command Area of Responsibility, adding to the capabilities already provided by the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group. These U.S. military force posture adjustments are designed to improve U.S. force protection, to increase our support for the defense of Israel, and to ensure the United States is
Starting point is 00:28:42 prepared to respond to a wide variety of contingencies. So as mentioned, the guided missile submarine and aircraft carrier strike group have been deployed to the region as Israel braces for retaliatory attacks from Iran and its proxies following the assassination of senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah. The Biden administration said an attack could come as soon as this week. This comes at the same time. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is approving almost $20 billion in weapons sale to Israel. The deal will include F-15 fighter jets, air-to-air missiles, tactile vehicles, and other explosives. A press release from the State Department said the U.S. is committed to the security of Israel, adding that it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain strong and ready self-defense capability. Now, hold on. Is it aid, Morgan? Or did I read that they sold $20 billion of weapons?
Starting point is 00:29:34 $20 billion weapons sale to Israel. Where does that money go? When America sells $20 billion in weapons to Israel, where does the money go? Whose pockets is that money going? And what y'all need my tax dollars for if y'all making that kind of money? If they make that much money, do we tax them? That's what I want to know. Do we have to tax that $20 billion? Wait. They gotta pay
Starting point is 00:29:56 taxes. They just made $20 billion. But if they pay taxes too, they're the government. So is it like they're paying taxes to their homies? Once again, what do they need our tax dollars for if they making that kind of money? Because I know ain't nobody taxing them. That's $20 billion free, cash free. Because they're going to take at least 40% of that. Ain't no FICA.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah. Ain't no FICA taking no money out of that $20 billion. Yeah, that's like $8, $9 billion in tax. Nah, we need our tax money. I really want to know where the money goes, though. I don't know. I really do. I want to know where that money goes.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Like, when they make a sale like that, where does that money go to? That's what I really want to know. I'm going to find that one out for you. It's the sign of the times. And in other news incorporating the signs of the times, did you guys know that Chuck E. Cheese is launching membership deals? We ain't got time for that. Or membership plans?
Starting point is 00:30:35 Nah. Chuck, Chuck, we ain't got time for that. I thought that was one of the business. The family entertainment chain will offer unlimited visits for a monthly fee beginning at $8 for the bronze package and $30 for the gold package. The passes include a specified number of games per visit and discounts on food and drinks depending on what membership tier or package you get.
Starting point is 00:30:53 They can be used at over 470 participating locations in the U.S. Chuck E. Cheese got a rebrand. It's not popping anymore like that. When my oldest ones were younger, they were like, Chuck E. Cheese, Chuck E. Cheese. My new young ones... Chuck E. Cheese still Chuck E. Cheese. My new young ones... Y'all don't like the new mouth? As long as they don't bring back those animatronics,
Starting point is 00:31:10 we good on those. And Mr. Chuck E. Cheese still popping. The problem with Chuck E. Cheese is just an occasional thing. You go on occasion. You go when it's a kid's birthday or something like that. I don't need a membership to go every month. The junkie place has taken over. The Urban Air and all of them have taken over every weekend. Kids don't want to go to Chuck E. Cheese every weekend. Kids ain't going to Chuck E. Cheese no more. They want to go to Urban Air and all them other have taken over that yeah that's what i'm saying kids don't want to go to chucky cheese every week kids ain't going to chucky cheese no more but that's
Starting point is 00:31:26 probably why they're doing it all the other things they're not yeah it makes sense because if you're doing the membership i'm sure you're saving money by buying the membership so then they're bringing the kids there more and then now because they're trying to get back in front of like the urban airs and all that well they need might need to add some air they might need to add like little jumpy things trampoline type of things more interactive games yeah more interactive yeah they're tired of video games yeah they need more interactive. Yeah, they tired of them video games. Yeah, they need more interactive stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Make it like that movie. What's that movie? What's that horror film that was based off Chuck E. Cheese? Y'all know what I'm talking about? No. They need to do something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Like maybe turn Chuck E. Cheese into like a haunted house. And scare all the kids. What kids don't want to go to a haunted house at age two? All them little robots and stuff they got in there. Like just make it like
Starting point is 00:32:02 a fun haunted house type of thing. Five Nights at Freddy's. That's the name of the movie. Y'all remember like a fun haunted house type of thing. Five Nights at Freddy's. That's the name of the movie. Y'all remember Five Nights at Freddy's? No. Five Nights at Freddy's is a horror movie that came out a couple of years ago. And it basically was a horror movie, but it was Chuck E. Cheese.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Like, make Chuck E. Cheese the actual Five Nights at Freddy's place. Like, a haunted establishment. So, people will go in there and, like, it'll be like a, what's them houses you try to get out of? Them scared houses? Haunted houses? Yeah. Haunted houses. Escape rooms. Yes. Make it something of them scared houses haunted houses escape rooms yes
Starting point is 00:32:26 make it something like that yeah but escape rooms are more for teenagers not for kids you do some scary stuff my three year old ain't going back to Chuck E. Cheese
Starting point is 00:32:32 they don't have the little animals and stuff like that no more right cause of animatronics yeah that stuff that was already scary
Starting point is 00:32:39 like you didn't have to make it yo that yeah maybe you cater towards a little bit more of a young adult now make it more interactive if you make it like That was scary enough. Yo, that, yeah. Maybe you cater towards a little bit more of a young adult then. Now make it more interactive.
Starting point is 00:32:47 If you make it like a Five Nights at Freddy themed horror haunted chunky cheese for young adults. They gonna want to DJ. They gonna want to be there rocking their hips.
Starting point is 00:32:53 They not gonna care about it. I definitely like the idea of an adult arcade for sure. Yeah, that's... Do y'all know what KahunaVille is? No. That was a Delaware thing?
Starting point is 00:33:03 Okay, never mind. All right, well, that's your front page news. I'm Morgan. You can follow me on socials at Morgan Media. And for more news coverage, be sure you're locked into the Black Information Network at BINnews.com. Talk to y'all later.
Starting point is 00:33:16 All right. Now, when we come back, Michael Rue will be joining us. Fanatic Fest is this weekend, and we'll talk to him about all that. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is on maternity leave. So we got Lauren LaRosa filling in, and we got a special guest in the building. Our guy. The founder and CEO of Fanatics, and he is doing a Fanatic Fest at the Jacob Javits Center this weekend. Saturday and Sunday, your favorite athletes, artists, celebrities will be in the building. You can get things autographed.
Starting point is 00:33:52 They'll be selling merch. And it's perfect because I'm doing my car show this weekend, so there's a lot of things to do. They can go to my car show, your Fanatic Fest. But ladies and gentlemen, Michael Rubin. Welcome. Glad to be here. How are you feeling? Always love being here.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Feeling great. Your voice changed. You did not sound like that before. What is that? Your announcer voice? Glad to be here. How are you feeling? Always love being here. Feeling great. Why did your voice change? You did not sound like that before it came on. What is that? Your announcer voice? Glad to be here. What was that? I'm ready for my announcer voice.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Let's go, man. Now, you said I forgot something. What did I forget? It's actually Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Oh, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Is the car show big on Friday? It's just Saturday. My car show's just Saturday.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Okay. I thought you were trying to kill off competition on Friday. Oh, no, no, no, no. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Now, we're pumped for this weekend. This is really exciting. You know, for me, New York's my favorite city in the world to kind of do something that's never been done. There's really not a sports festival anywhere in the world.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Never, I've seen. And you have this. When we think about this, you have so many other festivals. You have Comic-Con, which takes over New York City, gets a quarter of a million people. That's right. You've got Complex-Con, which I'm going to go to in November in Vegas. You've got, you know, all the music festivals. You've got South by Southwest. And'm going to go to in November in Vegas. You've got all the music festivals. You've got South by Southwest.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And I don't know why no one's ever done this in sports. You've got the trading card shows, which they have a thousand of in the country. But I went to a trading card show. There's a big trading card show called The National,
Starting point is 00:34:56 which gets 150,000 people. Is that the one in Atlantic City? It was in Atlantic City a couple of years ago. It was in Cleveland a few weeks ago. So it changes cities each year. And you walk in there, you're like, this is nuts.
Starting point is 00:35:07 There's 150,000 people. But it looks like when I went to high school. So it hasn't really changed since like the 90s. And so I basically went to Comic-Con in New York City and said, we got to do the same thing for sports. So this is going to be our first time doing it. Javits this weekend. We're going to have like 200 of the best athletes, celebrities, artists coming through.
Starting point is 00:35:27 All the leagues are coming. I mean, you got Tom Brady's going to be throwing footballs to kids for an hour on Friday. KD and Ant with their Olympic medals coming in Saturday. They're going to be playing basketball with kids, football with kids. I actually last night said, this is nuts. I actually have a bunch of NBA players call me and say, hey, can I can i play basketball can i play football with kids like normally you're trying to get people to come do these things and we got the best streamers in the world coming and we've got so many of the big we've got adrian ross coming truski coming uh sketch coming we're gonna announce
Starting point is 00:35:56 a few really big additional streamers that are coming so like to me just to bring everyone everyone together is awesome what is fanatics fest exactly, though? What is it? It's just a giant sports festival. Okay. Celebrating sports? Yeah. For me, it's like, what would you want every sports fan to dream of doing if they could just not be at an actual sports event and come? So you've got, like, NFL will be there, and you can see all the Super Bowl rings since
Starting point is 00:36:19 they've had the Super Bowl. All the Lombardi trophies. I see Tom, Brady, Eli, and Peyton. Is that true? Yeah. Wow. Absolutely. How does that work?
Starting point is 00:36:25 Because I've seen them sign an autograph. So you can buy an autograph, sign a jersey there, or they just win jerseys. So I think for Eli and Peyton, you can sign up to either get your picture with them, and you can pay to get your picture with them, or an autograph. Tom's just coming in. Tom's going to be interviewed by Stephen A. Smith on the main stage. Then he's going to be doing football with kids. I think he actually wants to walk around and look at trading cards because he's really
Starting point is 00:36:48 into trading cards. He'll be there all day Friday. I'm sure you guys know we're popping up at the 4040. I expect to see you guys there this weekend. Jay's going to be hosting it all weekend, which is going to be nuts. Jay called me and said, look, I love 4040. I want to do something special. Why don't we set this
Starting point is 00:37:04 up for people that are important to him, the athletes and celebrities that are coming through to support us, our most important gamblers. I think you guys know Jay and Des own part of our gambling business. And so you think about having Jay-Z hosting 40-40, Travis Scott, Quavo, a bunch of other artists that you guys all spend a lot of time with, but then having guys like Brady and Peyton and Eli and lots of other football players. Having KD and Ann and AI and Julius Irving.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, really? Yeah, he's coming. Mike Tyson? Yeah, and Jake Paul. They're doing their practice. I can't wait for that. I was just with Jake at the Olympics. I can tell you, if he looked like he looked at the Olympics walking out of the bar we walked out of at 5 a.m. in the morning.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Don't say it. I don't know. I could be worried for him, but I called to make fun of him yesterday. I said, yo, that did not look good for you. Oh, I thought you were going to say he got Mike Tyson. No, no, no. That's what I said. Don't say it. No, no, no. He walked out. There was very funny videos
Starting point is 00:37:58 of him online stumbling out of... Oh, he probably was faking. Yeah. No, no, no. He wasn't faking. He wasn't faking. No, he definitely wasn't faking. He's a sloppy drunk. Got you. Oh, he's going to get knocked out then. Yeah. No, no, no. He wasn't faking. He definitely wasn't faking. He's a sloppy drunk. Got you. Oh, he's going to get knocked out then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:08 No, I don't think. I think he's not drinking before his fight. Hulk Hogan's going to be there too? Hulk Hogan's going to be there. By the way, Cody Rhodes is going to be there. Rey Mysterio's going to be there.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I've had a couple of the artists like, yo, Rey Mysterio. We love Rey Mysterio. So like, you know, we have 25 wrestlers coming. We've got the UFC champ coming. You know, Alex Pereira. There's Holly Holmes coming.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I mean, it's in every sport, we've got great people coming. But then the league activations are also amazing. Like, you know, NBA is set up there to have different skills competitions. NFL's got skills competitions. Hockey, soccer. I think, by the way, punching. How hard can you punch the UFC bag? How hard can you slap?
Starting point is 00:38:48 So it's going to be everything. Thank you to Fanatics, too. You know, I do my back-to-school drive in my hometown of Moncks Corner every weekend. I don't even know if you know this, but Fanatics donated a bunch of backpacks. I didn't know that, but whatever you guys need, we're always there for you guys because you guys are great friends and family. And they did it specific to, like, Carolina
Starting point is 00:39:04 teams, so, like, the Gamecocks and the Hornets. Oh, that's dope. That was fire. I love that. Absolutely. I love that. Now, how does this differ from the White Party, Michael Rubin? So look, the White Party...
Starting point is 00:39:13 This is way different. You're not invited to the White Party, but you're invited to this. Rubin invites me to everything. Me too. You guys are generally invited to everything. One thing I'll say is Fanatics Fest, it's this, how do you create this incredible sports gathering? And you don't have that other
Starting point is 00:39:26 than actual games. I think there's so many things that you can do at a Super Bowl or a MLB All-Star game or an NBA All-Star game for that each sport, but no one brings it all together. And then generally it's pretty hard to get the athletes, the artists, the players to come through and really support. So we try to do a bunch of special things like, you know, Travis Scott's launching Cactus Jack exclusive trading cards at Fanatics Fest on Saturday. Those are going to be, and those cards, people are going crazy for those cards. I've never had more people hit me up and say, yo, how do I get those Cactus Jack MLB trading cards that you're launching at Fanatics Fest? So there's a lot of exclusive products as well.
Starting point is 00:40:03 So it's really trying to just create lots of things for everybody. Like one of the cool things, when I went to this show that used to be in Atlantic City, it was in Atlantic City, that was in Cleveland a few weeks ago. I saw two guys in full Oakland A's uniforms. And I called my guys up and I'm like, yo, everyone dresses for Comic Con.
Starting point is 00:40:20 How do we get everyone to dress for Fanatics Fest? And so literally I just went out and said, look, anyone who comes in a full team uniform or a super fan uniform we're going to take the best dressed person each hour on the hour
Starting point is 00:40:31 and bring them back to meet one of their you know truly Oh that's fine So someone comes in a Tom Brady outfit and they've got the helmet
Starting point is 00:40:38 and the jersey and the pants and the pants and everything when they come in a crazy Patriots we may bring them back to meet Tommy
Starting point is 00:40:44 someone comes in a Peyton Manning outfit. Or the Cheeseheads. What if 10 people do that? I pick the best one. It's best dressed each hour. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So we're going to do,
Starting point is 00:40:51 it's basically 25, 30 people for the weekend and we got 200 athletes there so it can be easy for us to, and by the way, if we see crazy stuff, maybe we do more than one an hour. So it's just like
Starting point is 00:41:00 creating those experiences. Think about if you're a diehard Julie Servin fan and Julie Servin is the person you looked up to and you come in a full Julius Erving outfit and we bring you back to meet Dr. J. I mean, how cool is that? Or Al Iverson, who's playing
Starting point is 00:41:11 basketball with kids on Sunday. So we want to make sure we just create incredible experiences that nobody else can have. And I thought I said this is a sports combine. Yeah, well, I mean What does that even mean? Well, because you've got each league is there, so you've got the NFL, the NBAba nhl mos wwe ufc mlb all there with activation so you really be like like i know a lot of the streamers are
Starting point is 00:41:33 coming through and i people talking right now about who's going to beat who in different competitions right now i got money on quavo as a now he's a streamer i got money he's very athletic he's he wins a lot of athletic competitions i told adrian rossi he's going to take a lot of abuse from a lot of people this weekend when he told me he was going to come and show up strong in sports. So it's going to be fun to see who shows strong and who has my athletics. It's not a real combine, like people... People are going to be doing... There's scouts there and eight...
Starting point is 00:41:58 No, but people are going to be doing the 40-yard dance. I mean, you have old, slow guys like me, and then you're going to have super fast streamers that are tearing it up. So there's going to be a lot of competitions there. All right, we got more with Michael Rubin when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Jess is on maternity leave. Lauren La Rosa is filling in, and we're still kicking it with Michael Rubin. Lauren? How long is the fest? Because I know the white Party is 13 hours.
Starting point is 00:42:26 So I specialize in long... The White Party is a test of seeing what you're made of. And I'll tell you... You drank the full... People drink the full 13 hours?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Definitely. Wow. So the White Party starts at 5 p.m. and it ended at 6 a.m. this year. And there were probably 300 people
Starting point is 00:42:41 when it ended. And there's only... There was less than 400 people at the total party. So when you have CEOs of some of the best consumer companies together with best artists, best athletes, together with just iconic business people, a lot of things come from that.
Starting point is 00:42:56 We've also created a lot of relationships out of there too, a lot of marriages, relationships. I heard. For sure. Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones. Tom Brady. relationships I heard for sure Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones I know I know Mo Bamba
Starting point is 00:43:08 met his I think now wife there yes I read the rumors of what I see out there people who met at the right place so I love that
Starting point is 00:43:14 but even more the business relationships that come out of there and to me there's so many great relationships that are started and created there
Starting point is 00:43:22 and that to me is like the test of are we doing well are we helping people get to know each other are great business outcomes coming for them and i love doing that you see that look you guys have all been to my super bowl party you see that there were a lot of you know great business opportunities come from that as well do you um because so the business relationships come out of it's good vibes but like when you see stuff online like drake was there this year and everybody was oh, they weren't allowed to play Not Like Us. Does that stuff bother you?
Starting point is 00:43:45 And was that even true? It was true. And look, for me, look, I'm always, you know, I just don't think, you know, Drake's my friend for a long time. I'm not going to invite him and then have, you know, look, he's obviously going through a little bit of battle right now. I'm not going to have him come there and... And be in battle mode.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I just didn't think it was appropriate. So I just sent a note. I said, hey, let's not play anyone's music that's feuding with anyone that's there. But that was a you decision. It wasn't like Drake was like... No, that was a me decision. I just thought it was the appropriate thing. I will tell you the day before we had a small barbecue for a few hours that was supposed
Starting point is 00:44:22 to be 30 people turned into 200 people and went for about 10 hours the night before that was the pregame to the white party and they turned the music on just like in my house like it was
Starting point is 00:44:31 they put rap caviar and Not Like Us came on it was like in the middle of Not Like Us I'm like get that off get that off Drake was there? He was pulling up soon
Starting point is 00:44:40 oh wow so you had it on your playlist no it wasn't on my playlist it was rap caviar don't do that to him I see you trying to throw me under the bus like that did you see the memes soon oh yeah um so you had it on your playlist no it wasn't on my side i see you trying to throw me under the bus like that did you see the memes of uh your pictures with drake are you and drake and everybody was like dre looks so sad he had a brother he had a great time look you guys if there's one thing i've somebody said something to me on social media you gotta be built for social media you gotta be tough one of the things
Starting point is 00:45:00 people don't understand about my personality i actually like the abuse i actually like it doesn't bother me at all. Drake is an iconic artist that we all have tremendous respect for. You know, obviously you can't, what I said to Drake, and I really believe this, is this is a great test for him. Like you can't get to where he's got to and not have people coming for you. I know, you know, I sleep with one eye open. I know right now, you know three businesses. People come in for me in every business every day. And that's part of, with success comes more competition, more hatred. And the best people show why they're the best.
Starting point is 00:45:33 And if you're not the best, you crack and you fall apart. So I think this is a great test for him. I think he's going to come out with lots of incredible music. And I think people are going to say, that's why Drake is Drake. So I like that test for him. I think social media bothers you a little bit. Cause one thing I did notice from the white party, I didn't see any hugs.
Starting point is 00:45:51 There was no hugs from the back. No one was a bigger hugger than me. I will say I pay attention to everything. And I decided people right or wrong. I think that was pathetic. I think it was a joke. On how to attack Lil Baby? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:07 By the way, you know what I hate? When watching a black person try to take a black person down, that's f***. Baby is one of the best human beings on the planet. There's not a person who will always do more for his community, who's a great human being, who works his ass off. And here's what happened with Baby.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Baby did great and then people came for him. Okay. The one thing I'd say, when you're doing great people try to test you and i think that's a great you know i think that's a great character test and i think baby showed why he's him drake's gonna show why why he's him and you know for me last year's probably the first time people ever came at me i've generally been you know i think people have showed me a lot of love and support and you know last year i realized you know finax got a little
Starting point is 00:46:42 bigger i became a little more well known and so hey it's hey, it's easy to try to pick at me for things. So, yes, I am a little more careful now. They do the same thing with Meek when they keep bringing up the bunny hopping. They say you made him do the bunny hopping. So, by the way, let's talk about that. There's nobody who's been more tortured this year than Meek. Talk about the Diddy thing.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Now, I know Meek really, really well, and I've never been to a Diddy party. He's never been to one of my parties in my life. Okay. I'm having a spread love. He's never been to one of my parties in my life I haven't been to spread love He's never been to one of my parties Not a Superbowl, not a Starlight, not a White I'm about to say that of a million
Starting point is 00:47:13 But I want to get this out there okay um Meek I know that guy really really well okay everyone going around trying to say and by the way if he was gay who cares there's not a gay bone in his body. You guys know him. Like, I know him. I've been around him more than anybody. Okay? For people to just like the internet, like a friend, one of my best friends said to me, I think Meek's gay now. I'm like, why? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:47:35 Because I've read it 10,000 times. There's not a gay bone in that guy's body. So it's like, why do people want to bring somebody down? Why do people want to hate on somebody? Why someone go lie on somebody? And by the way, talk about the bunny hops. But so now Meek says to me, we're in the Bahamas. He's there with his family.
Starting point is 00:47:50 I'm there with my family four or five years ago. And Meek's learning tennis, and I'm pretty shit at tennis. So we play a tennis game. Now, this was one pathetic athletic event. If you want to see two horrible tennis players going at it, somehow it was very close. And so Meek says to me at the beginning of the game, he says, what do you want to bet? I'm like, what do you want to bet?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Like, I'm not generally a, like, I don't want to ever take money from my friends or bet money. But if they want to, he's like, let's do pushups. I'm like, great. 50 pushups. Great. He's actually, let's do bunny hops. I said, what's a bunny hop? He said, how do you know what a bunny hop is?
Starting point is 00:48:19 Meeks had a idea. Meeks had a idea. A hundred percent. I didn't even know. I'd never heard of a bunny hop before. Oh, man. So now we do it then. When I put it out,
Starting point is 00:48:27 like, of course, because I was making fun of him because I had no idea what people would turn this into. I put it on my story just making fun of him. Like, yeah, I kicked your ass in tennis.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Like, it's fun. I actually won something in sports. No one says the thing then. Five years later, you know, people want to, now it's the turn, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:41 who are we going to hate on this one? So let's hate on Meeks. Oh, Meeks, Gabe, because some guy made up a lie. Okay, so let's hate on him for that and just try to change the narrative. The thing I don't like about that is it doesn't bother me for me. It bothers me when I see the narrative of a really good friend of mine like Meek. Again, if he was gay, which there's not one gay bone in his body, who cares?
Starting point is 00:48:58 Number one, if people want to be gay, it's 2024, who the f*** cares? Okay, number two, there's not a gay bone in his body. So like, why do people want to lie about that? why do people want to change the narrative of a bet he made with me to try to hurt him like that is the one thing I've learned about you know look I'm just being blunt because it's me it's the one thing I've learned about black culture that I don't like is that black hate on hate speak on that well I heard you say that early and I wanted you to expound on that you said you don't like to see black people tearing down other black people yeah it's horrible like like it's horrible. Like, it's horrible.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Like, I always want to be helpful. I feel lucky and fortunate to do what I do every day. To be as, whatever success I've had, I feel blessed to do that. And I want to give back in every way I can.
Starting point is 00:49:33 In business and in charitable things, I'm always trying to be helpful. Like, why does someone want to bring somebody else down? Let's try to build everybody up. Like, I'd be more excited to see one of my friends
Starting point is 00:49:41 do something that's 99% less meaningful to me, but it would be really meaningful to them because I want them to do great. I want everyone around me to do great. I don't like watching black hate on hate. It's like that black judge that Meek had that hated on him and wanted to go extra hard on him. I think it's terrible. I think it's something that it's culturally wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:00 And I'm probably a kill for saying this because, you know, you're a little... I'm glad you're saying it openly. If this is the conversations that are being Yeah, I want to hear this. Yeah, so I think it's wrong I think like why do you not want to build everyone up around you? Why do you not want everyone around you to do great? The best way for everyone to do great is to push each other up. I'm always pushing everyone around me It's why I spend you know a quarter of my days
Starting point is 00:50:23 Helping other people because I want them to do great. If you think about this, no one ever came at me before last year, okay? Last year we had the bunny hops you brought up. You brought up the... Plugging little babies
Starting point is 00:50:34 from the bag. Right, okay. Which are each completely made up to hurt people. Yet everyone still comes out for me because they're real
Starting point is 00:50:41 authentic relationships. And I want to help everyone in every way I can. So to me, if I could say one thing, let's everyone go out with a positive energy to want to help everyone in every way I can so to me if I could say one thing let's everyone go out with a positive energy to try to make everyone
Starting point is 00:50:47 do great around us and build people up let's not try to bring people down you don't do better by taking your competition down you do better by pushing everyone up together you want all the wind
Starting point is 00:50:55 behind your back alright we got more with Michael Rubin when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning good morning we are the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 00:51:01 we're still kicking it with Michael Rubin his Fanatics Fest is this weekend. He's in the building. Charlamagne. So when you see other, when you see black people tearing other black people down, in your mind, you'd be like, I would never do business with that person because of how they
Starting point is 00:51:14 treat their own people? Well, I don't really see the people I'm around tearing people down. What I see is the conversations that we have about people tearing, you know, trying to tear them down. You know, even if- Because Meek brings that up a lot. Meek doesn't bring it up a lot, but I'll bring it up to Meek and be like, look, when you grew up the way Meek did it, you grew up the way Baby did it, these guys are tough, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:33 You grew up, you didn't even think you were going to make it to the age you are today. You're coming out of a pretty violent background. I think you feel fortunate, but I think the reality is they're aware that there's a lot of hate that comes with their success even if like someone's trying to get out I grew up in a ruthless environment and you know I'm trying to improve the people that are around me it's like then the people that you know you grew up with they're mad they want they want to take you down because you don't have the same people around you how about you want to grow and you expand and doesn't
Starting point is 00:51:58 mean you don't want to help the people around you I mean Meek does so much for his community you know a completely different situation but Baby does so much for his community. You know, a completely different situation. But Baby does so much for his community. Like, so I just, that whole thing really does bother me because I think it's wrong. And I think it's culturally hurting the outcome of the black community. I think it would be much better if everyone tried to push each other up. In the Jewish community, do you guys support each other more? Do you see more support? I think in most communities, people are pretty to support. Like, I support everyone around me. I don't care. Black, white pretty to support like i support everyone around me i don't care black white purple yellow gay i don't care like i'm
Starting point is 00:52:29 going to support everyone around me that's that's the way i've always been built to push everybody up to push everyone around me i think that's generally great for me you know i think most communities do it that way i mean you tell me do you think i'm right or wrong i mean listen it's uncomfortable to hear you say it as a jewish man right? But I can't say that you're wrong. That's why. But one thing I always say is that when I'm talking about like what we call Uncle Tom, I always say all of these Uncle Tom black men think white people like that and they don't. They think that people that are in white people or Jewish people, white people, Jewish people, whoever, in positions of power,
Starting point is 00:53:02 they think that they like the sellouts amongst us. And they don't. They don't like to see a black person selling out another black person. I say that all the time. So I was going to ask you about, there's a guy named Sid Rosenberg who called Vice President Kamala Harris' husband a bad Jew. So when you hear language like that, is that self-hate amongst Jewish people? I don't know any of the background to it. I didn't even know her husband was Jewish until he just told me. But you've heard that term before, though.
Starting point is 00:53:26 You've heard somebody call somebody a bad Jew. I think people have told me I'm a bad Jew. People tell me I'm not doing enough for the Jewish community. People say to me, you do so much for the black community. You start the Reform Alliance. You spend so much money, time, and energy to fix the probation and parole system. Why haven't you done more for the Jewish community? For me, I was always great at giving money away.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I never did the work. And then, when obviously, and you guys know the story so well, when Meek went to prison for not committing a crime, I'm sitting in that courtroom and watching what was a really close friend of mine get sent to two to four years prison for popping a wheel on a motorcycle. That was the most out of control
Starting point is 00:54:01 I ever felt in my life, because I'm used to, in business, being able to control my own destiny. And I think that's when my whole perspective changed of really having to not just give money but really make a difference. And I think that's when once he got out, we started the Reform Alliance. Now we have this giant Make-A-Wish partnership, which everyone's so excited about, where we do every sports wish. We help to make it better and crazy to get the athletes really involved
Starting point is 00:54:21 to make the wishes great for the kids. And we love giving back. I get told I'm a bad Jew all the time because like hey people say you've only posted 10 times about what's going on but to me you have to do things that are authentic i got so emotionally involved in fixing probation and parole once i saw how up the system was and so i'm honored to do that you also can't do all things to all people when i get caught a bad you does it bother me a little bit? Yes. Because I think I'm doing everything that's comfortable for me,
Starting point is 00:54:47 but I can't also fight every fight. Like, we spend a lot of time on probation and parole reform. We spend a lot of time on Make-A-Wish. And, you know, I work 17 hours a day at Fanatics, which is, you know, my part-time job. Do you miss owning the 76ers at all? Do you miss that job? No.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I'll tell you why. I think when we did the Sixers deal in 2011, I was in a different part of my life and I think Fanatics was way less established and I think we were a much smaller company. It really got, it went from in the early days helping the growth of Fanatics and helping, it was kind of like a little bit
Starting point is 00:55:16 of a business development platform. And then I learned so much from the Sixers and I was able to really help in a meaningful way. As Fanatics got a lot bigger, now we have thousands of deals with individual athletes, which are prohibited by all the leagues. We're now in the betting business, which is prohibited to take bets on your own team.
Starting point is 00:55:30 It was really in the way of Fanatics' growth. And so selling the stake in the Sixers allowed me to just take Fanatics to the next level. And on top of that, I'll tell you, I don't think there could be a bigger opportunity for me in my life. When I look at where Fanatics is today, and I feel like I'm just getting started with it,
Starting point is 00:55:45 and I look at like, I just watched the Nike movie like a year ago, Nike Air. And you look at that and you're like, he's 87 today. Okay, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. Like my opportunity is massive. I have so much gratification and satisfaction of working around hundreds of millions of incredible sports fans, incredible athletes, and you know, to get to spend time with guys like you. It's such a fun job.
Starting point is 00:56:03 I don't want anything to be in the way of it. I also will tell you, my relationships with everyone is so much cleaner now because I think before I felt like guys who I was friends with would still look at me a little bit different. Like Book or Jason Tatum. When I owned the Sixers,
Starting point is 00:56:17 I felt like there was just always a little bit, hey, it's my brother from the Sixers. Now it's kind of like everyone knows I'm just their guy and we have an authentic relationship. And by the way, we do a kind of like everyone knows I'm just their guy and you know we have an authentic relationship and so and by the way we do a lot of business
Starting point is 00:56:28 with a lot of these guys too and I'm always trying to help there's just so many businesses if you think about it like look at Jay-Z he's an investor in Fanatics we own Fanatics Sportsbook together we own Mitchell Ness together
Starting point is 00:56:37 you know look at Travis we're doing the Collabs together look at Meek he was an investor in Lids by the way Meek's single best investment in his life you know
Starting point is 00:56:43 hope I won't get in trouble for saying this but he put $200,000 in Lids and got $8 million back wow okay go ahead Meek shout out to Meek, he was an investor in Lids. By the way, Meek's single best investment in his life. Hope I won't get in trouble for saying this, but he put $200,000 in Lids and got $8 million back. Wow. Okay? Go ahead, Meek. Shout out to Meek. Yeah. So I always want my friends to do great and I'm always working to do things that are great for my friends. So does it bother me? Look, I am the most thick-skinned individual you'll meet.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I mean, I'm the most self-deprecating person. I love to make fun of myself. When I put out the baseball thing and show how uncoordinated I am and everyone makes fun of me, I think it's funny. Does it hurt me a little bit if it's hurting somebody else? Yes. That's what I'm aware of. I think like, I want everything I do
Starting point is 00:57:10 to be great for people. I don't ever want to do anything but help people. One more thing I want to talk to you about. Speak to us about the role Governor Shapiro played just in Pennsylvania. Like, I love all of the things
Starting point is 00:57:20 that he's doing with probation reform and criminal justice reform, but a lot of that started because you, when he was AG got him on the meat case I like Governor Shapiro a lot by the way so I love
Starting point is 00:57:30 so first of all I hate politics I don't ever want to be involved in politics so I think it's just bad because generally politics can't get anything done and people just fight
Starting point is 00:57:38 over everything so I generally try to stay away from politics that's it I love Josh Shapiro Josh gave us the original idea to start the Reformalites it didn't come from me it didn't come from Jay it didn't come from Rob Craft it didn't come from me. I love Josh Shapiro. Josh gave us the original idea to start the Reformalize.
Starting point is 00:57:45 It didn't come from me. It didn't come from Jay. It didn't come from Rob Graff. It didn't come from me. It came from Josh Shapiro. Watching Josh's development has been amazing for me. I mean, watching him go from county commissioner to attorney general to governor. I think in Pennsylvania, I'm told he has like the highest, like he has- 61%. Which I don't think you can have any- Overrated or something like that. Right. But you don't get that. Politics, you're lucky to get, you know, 51%, right?
Starting point is 00:58:07 So he's incredibly, I think, supported in Pennsylvania. And I think he's really capable. I mean, I'm almost relieved that they didn't pick him for VP because I'll have nothing to do with this election now. But if the world, if the country decided that he was the right person, I think he would have been comfortable to step up and do that. But I think he's incredibly, you know, excited about what he's going to do in Pennsylvania. You know, I think he would have been comfortable to step up and do that. But I think he's incredibly excited about what he's going to do in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I just have so much respect for him, even though, again, I'll say this a hundred times, I hate politics. Well, this weekend, Fanatics Fest. Michael Rubin! Let's get to Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here. Let's get to Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real, brother.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of shoes.
Starting point is 00:59:02 With Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the match. Talk to me. Y'all done got Salswaka in trouble. What happened? So, when Salswaka was up here, and we were talking to him about him being, like,
Starting point is 00:59:16 one of the first people to call Drake out for cultural appropriation. Because he was saying, like, Drake would come to Houston and, like, basically just link with, like, the bigger names of Houston, but never pull up the other artists there. And he's supposed to do that because he's saying like Drake would come to Houston and like basically just link with like the bigger names of Houston, but never pull up the other artists there. And he's supposed to do that because he's taking so much from Houston and the people there. I don't even think he was saying that he links with the bigger artists. He was just saying that he don't he don't link with the artists enough, period. He said he felt it was more appropriation than appreciation.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I mean, you can let him explain. Yes. So, yeah, we're going to get to that. We're going to get to the clip. Let's take a listen this particular Superstar this particular entity this in my city can simply make two songs with two different artists here. That's gonna create so much revenue from ESPN's to the talk shows the Nikes and all these huge companies seeing that oh wow There's there's mo there's money. money there's momentum there's lucrativeness in the state of texas look at these artists working with these artists isn't that required of the houston artists too though because i mean travis ain't no slouch travis is a big deal
Starting point is 01:00:12 travis sign artists from houston travis has made music with artists from houston it's making a stallion but she has songs with sauce walker she got songs with mexico queen she got some little kiki she got some big pumpkin that's really being from the city being and appreciating the culture no disrespect to burn beat he's from port arthur he's not from houston make a lot of people try to say oh would you like me to tell them but b b not from houston no disrespect to him this is houston texas we're talking about you just said houston did you just say port arthur just say houston all right then so this was trending yesterday people were engaging in the conversation conversation of who Drake has worked with in Texas, who they have him. But most importantly, Bumby stepped outside.
Starting point is 01:00:49 He posted on his Instagram in response to Salswaka saying, born in Houston, Northwood Manor, moved to Westside, PA, in sixth grade, none taken. Because he said no disrespect. Bumby said none taken. But he wanted to clear some things up. I'm dropping a clue about Bun B always. You do nothing but salute and respect the icon Bun B. And the caption said, for the record. I had no idea he was from Houston though.
Starting point is 01:01:14 I thought he was from Port Arthur, Texas. Like Bun B, Pimp C, Steven Jackson. Port Arthur, Texas. They rep so hard, you know? I didn't know. But you know what? I wasn't here for that interview, but the only thing I don't like is
Starting point is 01:01:24 Drake does a lot for the city of Houstonston he might not you know rep the artists he might not like a lot of the artists there you never know but as far as what he does for houston and what he does for for that area as far as support as far as financial as far as make sure that he puts his hand on houston he goes to the restaurants he's out and about in houston i think he does a lot for h town but you don't live there. You don't live in Houston, so you don't know. I'm in Houston a lot, and I see what he does out in Houston. Online. Sure, but I can't argue with Sauce.
Starting point is 01:01:50 He lives there. He just said he doesn't do songs with artists, but if I don't like a particular or doesn't match, but he's done joints with Bun B before. He's done joints with Houston artists, but he does a lot for Houston. I'm not listening to you. You from Queens.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It might not be for rappers, but he does a lot for Houston. There were a lot of people online pointing out some of what uh envy is saying like when drake is here he supports our local businesses they talked about some of the djs um that he's sampled different tracks from and sampling assuming he would have had to pay to clear different things and like whatever from other houston artists um the conversation turned into and and sauce walker said this when he was here. He said, it's not about me. It's not me saying I want a song with Drake.
Starting point is 01:02:29 But the conversation turned into, he's just mad that Drake hasn't done anything with him. I don't think that that's the case, though. I don't think that's the case. I don't think that's the case at all after talking to him. And I think the examples he gave, because when I brought up Travis Scott, and he explained the things Travis does,
Starting point is 01:02:42 being from Houston, and he explained what Megan Thee Stallion does being from Houston. I understood where he was coming from. Yeah, but I think even if Drake did all of that and tried to do more of like what a Travis Scott would do by coming there and like building festivals or like whatever he would still get shots thrown
Starting point is 01:02:58 at him for real because it's just Drake. He's low-key is and has always been kind of like the outsider who figured it out. Drake has worked with Travis Scott early on. He's worked with Bun B early on. He touches that city a lot, hands down. Yeah, I mean. I like Sauce Walker's argument better than both of yours.
Starting point is 01:03:14 I was going to say, I think his argument was valid. What he was saying is he might have done all of that, but there's like a core, like that benefits you. Travis Scott is one of the biggest artists in the world, right? But there are other artists, like he named a bunch of artists in that interview that like a Megan Thee Stallion has worked with that. Lil Keke, Big Poe. Some of them artists. I didn't I didn't know about those artists, but like I know about them now because of the conversation and because of Megan Thee Stallion.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I mean, I do. But Drake is not from Houston. Drake is from Toronto. Drake not from Atlanta either. But he does a lot. He does a lot for Houston. But he's from Toronto and he does a lot for Atlanta. He's not from Atlanta, but a lot of people. But he's in Houston a lot more But he's from Toronto. He's not from Atlanta, but a lot of people...
Starting point is 01:03:46 But he's in Houston a lot more than he's in Atlanta. Duh. That's the point. But he spends a lot of money with local businesses in Houston. He lives in Houston. He has a house in Houston. A house in Texas. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 01:03:57 If you look at the contrast between working with 10 Atlanta artists, 10, 11, 12 Atlanta artists compared to Houston, I understand Sauce Walker's point. Me too. Because Drake has that reputation of being the guy that like helps the artist kind of get to a bigger point like he co-signs people so he's saying you throw that co-sign everywhere else why not over here but yeah wrap it up does this mean i can do one more no no okay look at the time all right you gotta wrap it up all right well donkey today we're giving a donkey too man there's a florida man whose name has not been released.
Starting point is 01:04:27 You know how stupid. You must have did something so stupid in Florida that they won't release your name. Okay? But he's 25 years old. And I don't want to tell you. I'll tell you when we come back. All right. We'll get to that next.
Starting point is 01:04:39 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. It's crazy if people in America. I really got Bronx trauma. It's time for Donkey of the Day. We in the Bronx.
Starting point is 01:04:52 You can just call me the back man. Suck my... Y'all not shutting us down. We in the car close to the car. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the... Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news? If I catch all that in traffic, I whip her, my genitals, y'all will suck it. It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida.
Starting point is 01:05:17 On The Breakfast Club. Yee-haw, man. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, August 14th, goes to a 25-year-old Florida man whose name has not been released. Now, I'm going to tell you something. When Florida doesn't release your name, then you have really done something stupid. I don't know why this man's name hasn't been released, but it makes the story that much more interesting.
Starting point is 01:05:37 I promise you, when we get his name, you will be the first to know. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. It's actually a tragic story because a person was killed
Starting point is 01:05:53 and two others injured for what seems to be no real reason at all. Let's go to CBS 10 Tampa Bay for the report, please. In Tampa, police confirm one man is now dead, two others hurt after another man drove the cab of a semi-truck into the Emperor's Gentleman's Club. This happened around 4.20 this morning at the business on East Adamo Drive. Witnesses told us the driver had just been kicked out of the club minutes before.
Starting point is 01:06:17 He stood outside the club, got into his semi-tractor, was in the parking lot for a few minutes. When he saw the individual that he was in the confrontation with exit the club with another group of people, he intentionally accelerated that truck into that group of people. However, they say the people hit were not involved in the initial confrontation. Two of them are being treated for serious injuries right now. The driver is in the hospital in critical condition he didn't even hit his target just killed the innocent person and injured two innocent people because he got kicked out of a script club if you get kicked out of an establishment why take it as rejection why not
Starting point is 01:06:59 look at it as god's protection god wanted you removed from that situation for a purpose in this instance if this 25 year old man would have just taken his stupid ass home after he got kicked out of the script club then he currently wouldn't be in the hospital in critical but stable condition if we if he would have just took his dumb ass home he wouldn't be facing charges of first degree murder attempted first degree murder dui manslaughter vehicular homicide and dui with serious injury if he would have just took his ignorant ass home, then one person wouldn't be dead and two others wouldn't be injured. But see, listen to what I said just now.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Listen to all those charges I just read off. Two of them had DUI. Okay, DUI manslaughter and DUI with serious injury. That damn alcohol will impact your decision-making skills every single time. Do you know liquor stops the part of the brain that makes judgment calls from functioning as it normally does this means liquor doesn't just impact decision making it distorts a person since the judgment period and that's what you rely on to make smart decisions this man was saucy saucy out of his membrane and it's florida so no telling what else
Starting point is 01:08:00 he was on you drive a semi-tractor into a script club you drive a semi tractor into a crowd of six people because you upset you got kicked out oh i know fentanyl fueled activities when i see him in this situation got rihanna's makeup all over it fente fente fente okay look man rejection is a part of life just learn to deal with it and keep it moving this is why so many of us need to be in therapy don't listen to pros okay you need more than a head doctor. You need an actual therapist to deal with the rejection sensitivity that you have internally. Okay. Rejection sensitivity isn't caused by one single factor. There's probably a bunch of factors. You got childhood experiences like having parents that were too critical on you, bullying. You may have experienced as a child. There are all types
Starting point is 01:08:41 of factors that lead to people having rejection sensitivity and getting kicked out of this script club triggered something in that 25 year old and that along with the alcohol and the fentanyl which i believe he was on caused him to make a permanent decision based off a temporary emotion and now someone is dead because of it there is no way in hell you leave a script club surrounded by naked women. Clips and tits everywhere. You get kicked out and your mind says, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to do something that's going to cause me to go someplace where I will never be surrounded by naked women ever again. I'm going to do something that's going to have me surrounded by penises for the rest of my life. Lock them up.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Okay, this man earned this. Some of y'all is out here treating stupid like it's an Olympic sport. And this young 25-year- old man took home the gold please give this a 25 year old man from tampa florida who drove his semi tractor through a script club and killed an innocent person and injured two other innocent people the biggest he are tits and clicks you came up with that no god did don't you have one you know what i mean you know what i mean that's such a silly question you know what i come up with that god made those god did yes jesus you know what i meant though no i don't no i didn't all right well thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back.
Starting point is 01:10:06 You lucky I don't got nothing to throw. Yeah. Throw that bagel. I want my bagel. All right. Well, when we come back, 800-585-1051. Michael Rubin was here earlier, and he was talking about how he felt that the black community, that black people do to other black people.
Starting point is 01:10:22 This is what he said. That is the one thing I've learned about black culture that I don't like is that black hate on hate like well like it's horrible like I don't like watching black hate on hate I think it's terrible I think it's something that it's I think it's culturally wrong and I'll probably get killed for saying this because you know here you know I'm glad you're saying it openly if this is the conversations that are being yeah I want to hear this yeah so I think it's wrong i think like why do you not want to build everyone up around you why do you not want everyone around you to do great to me if i could say one thing let's
Starting point is 01:10:53 everyone go out with a positive energy to try to make everyone do great around us and build people up let's not try to bring people down you don't do better by taking your competition down you do better by pushing everyone up together you want all the wind behind your back you know i told michael rubin that i felt uncomfortable hearing a jewish man say that but that wasn't the only emotion i felt now that i think about it i was embarrassed because michael rubin didn't say anything that i don't say every day and i was embarrassed because i know he's right and it's a part of me that i'm glad he said it because you have a lot of negroes who think selling out their own people to cozy up to the white man
Starting point is 01:11:25 is what white folks want. White people don't even respect that. They don't even respect you. They don't respect you out here tearing down your own people. So what is the question? I just want to know how people feel. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:36 I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. I want to know how people feel. I didn't feel uncomfortable. We've been saying this for the last... How long have've been on this radio still felt embarrassed I still felt uncomfortable it just was like a okay yeah like when he said it I was just like I was like and embarrassed cuz it's like oh he's such a nice person I was like who are you like you know why
Starting point is 01:11:58 you all in my house in my business when you what your parents have you love to go ahead and embarrass me yeah I thought like my grandma was gonna like, I felt like my grandma was going to call me after and be like, you up there talking to that? Nah, it didn't feel embarrassing. He's seen it close to him. He's seen it with Meek Mill. He's seen it with Lil Baby.
Starting point is 01:12:11 He's seen it with a lot of the things around him. And we've been talking about it for a long time. But let's discuss when we come back. How did that make you feel? 800-585-1051. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:12:22 The Breakfast Club. phone lines are wide open it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv chess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now jess is out on maternity leave and and we have Lauren LaRosa filling in. And we're asking 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts after hearing Michael Rubin on the show this morning talk about black on black? I don't want to say crime, but black on black hate. Let's listen. That is the one thing I've learned about black culture that I don't like is that black hate on hate. Like, it's horrible. Like, I don't like that black hate on hate. Like, it's horrible.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Like, I don't like watching black hate on hate. I think it's terrible. I think it's something that it's, I think it's culturally wrong. And I'll probably get killed for saying this because, you know, you're, you know. I'm glad you're saying it openly. If this is the conversations that are being had. I have it all the time. Yeah, I want to hear this.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Yeah, so I think it's wrong. I think, like, why do you not want to build everyone up around you? Why do you not want everyone around you to do great? To me, if I could say one thing, let's everyone go out with a positive energy to try to make everyone do great around us. Build people up. Let's not try to bring people down. You don't do better by taking your competition down. You do better by pushing everyone up together.
Starting point is 01:13:37 You want all the wind behind your back. So what do you think, Lauren? I originally, like, my first thought when he said it to myself was oh how dare he go there but and then also to kind of like why are you all in my business like why are you all in our house type of thing because you know we told when stuff happens amongst us or amongst our community we keep it inside like you don't go outside we put it all over twitter okay but instagram y'all know what i mean like if you if you grew up with, like, your grandma, like, whatever, you're taught that when something goes down,
Starting point is 01:14:06 it's not to be discussed amongst others, and he's an other. So I was just, like, kind of taken aback when he brought it up, but it was honest, and he was a straight shooter about it. So I appreciated his view on it because it's like, damn, for him to notice it, it's like, how don't we notice that we do it? We do notice the whole way. There are some people who don't think that they are doing anything wrong there are some people who think you're supposed to call people out you're supposed to hang people you're supposed to crucify people not give them second chances
Starting point is 01:14:32 there are people who believe i can't i can't wait till those people get uh they turn in the light because they're gonna wish they gave people they're gonna wish they got the same grace that they should have gave people but i did feel uncomfortable michael rubin said that because he is a white jewish man but that wasn't the only emotion i felt as i said earlier i felt embarrassed but michael rubin did not say anything that i don't say every damn day you know i'm saying and i was embarrassed because i know he's right and it's a part of me that i am glad he said it because people need to hear it from somebody else they need to hear it from somebody else. They need to hear it from somebody who's not inside the house. So now maybe you'll sit back and think about it
Starting point is 01:15:08 the next time you decide to crucify one of your own or tear down one of your own for no damn reason at all. And you know, the sad thing about it is, is we do it so much in our community that we really hurt careers. We really hurt people. Whether it's musicians, whether it's, you really hurt people we whether it's musicians whether it's it's you know athletes whether it's just regular people and i never really understood why it's almost like sometimes people get a joy out of seeing other people suffer and lose and i
Starting point is 01:15:36 never understood it and even when i feel like when you look at other groups we talked about mike rubin he's jewish we look at jewish groups so we look at asian groups a lot of time they stand by their own. And I watch like we see what happened with Jonathan Majors. Right. We seen him. Then they try to take that man's whole career. They did.
Starting point is 01:15:52 And that's the other thing. Right. Like a lot of times, you know, we do these these these takedowns based off lies. Off lies. They do it based off allegations. There's no due process. No nothing. Somebody could literally just post something on Twitter today and black Twitter will run with it.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yeah, and believe it. And nobody will do their homework. Nobody will do their research. And a lot of the times, the information is there. The court documents are there. Everything is there. Or there might not be nothing there. It might just be something somebody made up.
Starting point is 01:16:21 And people will go with a headline and they'll attack. I mean, it'll happen to every last one of us. Meek gay right now. Like he said. Don't say that. My crew was at somebody's call. No, he said his friend was like, I think Meek is gay. And he was like, what?
Starting point is 01:16:35 And he was like, because I've been seeing it all over. You see what I'm saying? But that's not right. That is not right, man. He is not gay, y'all. I'm not saying that he is. I'm just saying what my crew is saying. My point is that's just not right. Look, I had to clear that up because somebody would take that clip and be like, well, they
Starting point is 01:16:49 announced it on the, yeah. Charlamagne been gay for a long time. No, but I mean, but that's different. NB gay, he white. No, you start those rumors like, I go places, you really Dominican. No, I'm not Dominican. I'm black. Or you a Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Somebody came up to me during the car show this week and was like, yo, where Bayer? I said, she in the hotel getting ready. He's like, nah, you're other Bay. I'm like, my other Bay? Charlemagne, like, they really think we a couple. It's a joke. Nobody thinks we a couple.
Starting point is 01:17:09 It's a joke. They're joking with us. They think that you like... No, they think you gay. You backstroke and men palms. If you know anything about me, you know I don't like light-skinned men. You like dog-skinned men?
Starting point is 01:17:19 And I don't like light-skinned women. I don't like light-skinned anything, to be honest with you. So you like dog-skinned men. All right, let's go to the phone line. You want to know something else? you want to hear something to really be offended by what i think light skin people look like pitbull but that's just my opinion go run tweet that
Starting point is 01:17:34 run tweet that run tweet that all right whatever whatever you like like dog man okay it's cool hello candace hi good morning good morning what's your thoughts after hearing uh pretty much i'm watching you guys on tiktok right now that's funny pretty much i agree with every single thing he said so i've worked in finance for a few years now and i realized that in these very white, affluent spaces, you'll have a few of us. And I entered thinking, oh, everyone's going to like, all the black people are going to come together and try to build and educate each other and help others. It's almost like talented 10 trying to bring each other up. No, it's the exact opposite where it's almost like we are literally crabs in a barrel trying to bring each other down. And I don't see a solution from the top to the bottom.
Starting point is 01:18:31 I just, it's very frustrating because we deserve better as a people. We are the culture. We create what the world is and people monetize us. And so if we were able to band together and create our own institutions and and use our just our literal magic i think the world would be better for us but we're too busy trying to spun on each other we you're right and we know the solution the solution is it's been there since the beginning of time everybody from the honorable elijah muhammad the dr martin luther king jr has told us the solution unity and group operation yes. Yes. Okay? It's really that simple.
Starting point is 01:19:06 You are not the only one and you don't have to be the only one. You don't get in position and close the door behind you. You get in position, keep that door open and you throw a ladder back.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Yeah. You throw a rope back. You throw them lifelines back. You bring people with you. But I never understood it. Like, you know, salute to Attorney Benjamin. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:19:21 How would you understand what's going on with us? Shut up. I'm black. Salute to... See, you're doing it right now. I thought he was white. He's doing it right now. Salute to Attorney Benjamin Crump.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Jeremy Shepard, you over there just looking like a grouse. Just think about all the things that Attorney Benjamin Crump has done for us and all the stuff that he's fought for and everything that he's done. They call him an ambulance chaser, this, that, and the other, but he's done so much for our community. Look what they did to Ja Rule. Just a musician. Look what, like...
Starting point is 01:19:41 Hey, man, go to the phones, man. Wait, you talking about from Five Fest? Go to the phones, man. No, not Five Fest. Go to the phones. I'm talking about when Fry Fest? Go to the phones, man. No, not Fry Fest. Go to the phones. I'm talking about what he was rapping back in the day. They trying to ruin that man's career. It would be so crazy.
Starting point is 01:19:49 It's stupid. We get all on the list. You see what I'm saying? Look what they did to Ja Rule. Like, they called us in the Friday Fest and had sandwiches with cheese. You know who did it to Ja Rule? 50 Cent and G-Unit.
Starting point is 01:19:59 Now, that's who did it to Ja. Okay, now you gonna shut up now, aren't you? Yeah, you ain't gonna... You ain't got nothing to say. I didn't say nothing to say. I didn't say it was right. What you talking about? He's on a tip top under that t-shirt. I didn't say it was right, but I just said look what they did to Ja.
Starting point is 01:20:09 And let's be clear. They loved Ja for a minute and then all of a sudden the world turned, the culture turned to Ja. Man, shut up, man. Did they? Why you? That's why I told you. This is why nobody likes your arguments. Because it was a stupid argument.
Starting point is 01:20:20 You bought Ja Rule in knowing the reason Ja Rule and 50 had beef. It's not like 50 was hating on Ja for no reason. I know, but here's the thing. They had an actual issue. Here's the thing. He bought Ja Rule in Knowing the reason Ja Rule and 50 had beef It's not like 50 was Hating on Ja for no reason I know But here's the thing Here's the thing He brought Ja Rule in Why did he bring Ja Rule in?
Starting point is 01:20:31 After Ben Crump Like And y'all love him Do I be just gonna Stop blowing like I'm thinking like Maybe he had like A civil rights
Starting point is 01:20:39 Something You know what I'm saying What I'm saying is Not just about the civil rights I'm talking about Ja Rule Yes 50 and Ja Rule Had a beef, but that was their personal beef. But the whole industry and world isht on Ja Rule. Because 50 made Ja...
Starting point is 01:20:52 I'm not having... First of all... Because what? Go to the phone. I'm not having this conversation. Because what? 50 just made Ja not cool no more. This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Why wasn't he cool after he put out all them hits? This has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Like, absolutely nothing. The fact that our community turned to Ja Rule... You went from from ben crump who actually goes out here and helps people and gives hate for no reason because he's actually helping our people to a rat beef and you think that makes sense that's why you wake up every morning in your bed be looking stupid on one side don't be looking stupid on one side my bed is fine look look you can see me on tiktok i grew in it grew back i'm good hello it drew back it drew in see you you'reiktok nah I grew in it grew back I'm good hello who's this it drew back it drew in

Like, I don't like watching black hate on hate. I think it's terrible. I think it's something that it's, I think it's culturally wrong. And I'll probably get killed for saying this because, you know, you're, you know. I'm glad you're saying it openly.
Starting point is 01:22:30 If this is the conversations that are being had. I have it all the time. Yeah, I want to hear this. Yeah, so I think it's wrong. I think like, why do you not want to build everyone up around you? Why do you not want everyone around you to do great? To me, if I could say one thing,
Starting point is 01:22:42 let's everyone go out with a positive energy to try to make everyone do great around us and build people up. Let's not try to bring people down. You don't do better by taking your competition down. You do better by pushing everyone up together.

Starting point is 01:25:33 Man, hang up on this old ass n***a right now. You old ass n***a. I knew he was. I knew it. How you knew he was old? He didn't see the Instagram post About Boston Lenore thank you so much
Starting point is 01:25:47 This is what I'm talking about We appreciate you for calling This man is 46 years old Yeah And forget everything I do in the community He upset Cause I don't shout out
Starting point is 01:25:56 The rappers he know I don't wanna hang up on him Cause y'all told me Don't hang up on people no more Just the talent that's down there Alright Lenore Enough's alright Just make that
Starting point is 01:26:04 That was ridiculous He was just make that, that was ridiculous. He was just loud and wrong. That was ridiculous. It is what it is. I don't care. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:26:10 Keisha from Brooklyn. Hey, Keisha from Brooklyn. Good morning. Good morning. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? So,
Starting point is 01:26:16 to be honest, I got second-hand embarrassed and embarrassment. That's how I feel. To be, definitely. So,
Starting point is 01:26:23 I always say, if we come together, we could be so much stronger. You know, I don't condone violence, but we've seen the situation on the boat. Everybody on that boat deserves an NAACP award. But at the end of the day, at the end of the day, I truly feel like we outnumber them. And, you know, not to say dumb to make it a race thing, but we're very strong if we just stick together and we do the cup a favor
Starting point is 01:26:49 when we're taking out each other in that kind of way. We give them what they want. Like, it makes no sense. I truly believe not to say he was 100% right, but jewels still stick together. That's why in our reality they, like a little bit of them, aren't winning. They stick together. That's why in our reality, like a little bit of them are winning.
Starting point is 01:27:06 They stick together. We don't. Listen, you're not wrong. That's why I said I felt uncomfortable and I felt embarrassed. But I can't sit here and act like Michael Rubin was saying anything wrong because he says the same thing that I say every damn day. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy, Shannon.
Starting point is 01:27:21 What's up, bro? What's your thoughts? No, Rubin was right, though. Michael was right, though, man. We got it. It was a perfect example. One good example. Simone Biles.
Starting point is 01:27:29 What about Simone? They made comments on Twitter about this young lady's hair. They did the same thing. What's the other young lady? Gabby Douglas. About her hair. Why does her hair matter? This young lady's slipping.
Starting point is 01:27:43 She's sweating. She's running. She's doing stuff that you can't do. Well, you know what they say? They say, you know, you got to stop needless criticism of your brother and sister because you got to remember that jealousy destroys from within. And I think sometimes when we see people like Simone Biles and these people who do amazing things, you can't understand why that's that person and it's not you. But it is you. You just have not
Starting point is 01:28:05 found your gift yet you gotta unlock the gift that god gave you to achieve great things and what she does is not what you're probably destined probably here to do i don't even think that people on twitter think that deep no i think people people make excuses y'all people make excuses for their lives including me in the booth that's y'all that is not a y'all. I would never, ever drag her about no, like, It was trending about her hair. I know it was trending. And also, too, I feel like sometimes, some things should be kept inside of your group chat conversations.
Starting point is 01:28:36 Like, you can have an opinion on things. You can feel a way about certain things. But to get out there in public and to, like, say certain things, like, I had to learn that in real life about a lot of things like everything don't need to be said all the time people hate because they're not happy with their lives so they need an excuse to the reason why they're not happy so why they're not successful so the fact that simone biles just won a gold medal just won what two three gold medals or silver or bronze the first thing people are saying is look at her hair yeah that's crazy
Starting point is 01:29:02 that's insane and it's different stuff it's progressive because there are some things I think that we should be able to be, have conversations about each other about. But progressive criticism and just tearing somebody down are two different things. Completely two different things. I totally agree. All right, well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is Michael Rubin was right. And we're not going to sit here and act like he didn't say anything
Starting point is 01:29:21 that we don't say amongst each other all the time. And the last thing I'll tell you all is that unity and group operation is a must and you should stop needless criticism of your brother and sister because jealousy destroys from within and stop being so quick to tear people down just based off something you heard on social media because a lot of it majority of it be lies it's false majority of it just be false allegations majority of it be a narrative that somebody has created and y' it just be false allegations. Majority of it be a narrative that somebody has created and y'all just run, y'all just take it
Starting point is 01:29:49 and run with it. And that run with it hurts somebody's life. It hurts somebody's job. It hurts somebody's outcome. It hurts the way that they provide for their family
Starting point is 01:29:55 and it's effed up. Now we got Jess with the mess coming up. Yes, we do. What black person you about to hate on, Lauren? First of all, hate on is crazy.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Like, why are you always coming for me? We're actually about to hate on lauren first of all hate on is crazy like why are you always coming for me we're actually about to get into a really good um conversation we got um uh adam sandler conversation coming up we also want to talk about um naomi osaka and she brought up a really good point about um postpartum all right we'll get to that next it's the breakfast slogan All righty, y'all. So Janet Jackson made a revelation. And some people knew some of this stuff, but not all of it. So she sat down with BBC Radio, The Breakfast Show with Scott Mills. And he asked her, like, someone just told me this, but are you related to?
Starting point is 01:30:59 And then he started naming different people. So let's take a listen to the clip. They don't have that clip. You don't't have that clip someone told me this earlier are you related to stevie he's our cousin how have i gone that long in life not a lot of people know that he's our cousin on my mother's side that's blowing my mind so is tracy chapman Hang on. Can we go through the family tree again? So is Samuel Jackson. So Stevie, it is what to you? My cousin. Tracy Chapman? Cousin. Samuel Jackson?
Starting point is 01:31:30 He would be a cousin too. I mean, he's not my brother. Right, yeah, fine. But yes. I never knew. I just assume all Jacksons are related. Me too. Is that a black thing?
Starting point is 01:31:41 Probably. All Washingtons and Browns too. But the Stevie Wonder thing is incredible. I think I heard the Stevie Wonder thing. Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson family? Yeah, I heard that before. I didn't hear of Samuel Jackson though. So Samuel Jackson actually denied it.
Starting point is 01:31:51 In 2017, he had sat down with The Wired and they asked him, are you related to Michael Jackson? He just said, nope. But like she said, it did happen. But it always be like that. You know when your mom be telling you like, you know this person, your cousin.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Second cousin, third cousin. And then you meet the person and they're like, we not cousins. And then it's like a whole thing. That's how you know when your mom be telling you like you know this person your cousin second cousin and then you meet the person they're like we're not cousins and then it's like a whole thing that's how you know samuel jackson popping because you who's gonna who the hell gonna deny being related i would take that one i'm like yeah that's my family that's my family that's fair i know charlotte related to the to the bailey family that's not true though in hale valley yes that is true i always hear you say that but that's not true what i don't i don't here go here go envy with another just taking us off the highway for no damn reason.

Rock deodorant. It is what it is. I don't understand why you got one underarm shaved. Both of them are shaved. Y'all do not do that to me.
Starting point is 01:33:36 No, do not. Just because you in here with a terra squat chain on, don't try to make it seem like I'm bringing back the 70s little V cut. Your underarms look like Envy's bed. Like one of them. It's drew in on one side and then the other side is bald.
Starting point is 01:33:48 It's kind of crazy. You just lucky you not ashy today. I'm never ashy. He is. I know. And he is. Continue on
Starting point is 01:33:54 because he's going to keep going. Thank you. Exactly. So we're going to move along to Adam Sandler because it's too much black on black crime in here.
Starting point is 01:34:00 Oh man. Right now. Yeah. We the main one. You just had a positive note five seconds ago. No it's at 45 yeah all right we're gonna move on to adam sandler so adam sandler um sat down with joe rogan for the joe rogan experience and he talked about the will smith um oscar slap i talked to rock yesterday just for like 10 minutes or something and we got really excited about stand-up again i go you're right and he goes
Starting point is 01:34:25 kind of he's like i need a break yeah i think that's a good way to do it take a little break and just refresh your mind so you're not running stale because he did a live special too his live special was i loved it yeah and it was also like the build up because of getting slapped by will smith and all that crap yeah yeah yeah i I think that was the best thing that ever happened to him. Because then it became wild again. His stand-up was outrageous. It was like the rock of old. That night
Starting point is 01:34:54 was like watching a f***ing Super Bowl. It's interesting to see people's perspective because I never looked at Chris Rock's stand-up as wild and outrageous. Me neither. It's always just been smart. And it's just been Chris Rock. And I also didn't look outrageous. Me neither. It's always just been smart. And it's just been Chris Rock. And I also didn't look at that night as a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:35:09 I didn't think that it gave Chris Rock like a new energy. Like, it was... We all... Chris Rock is a legend. Yeah, I didn't think so either. It's not even people's perspective. It's white people's perspective.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Because I have not... There's no black people that were like, yo, Chris Rock is back again. Like, this was the moment he needed. No, it was. I did hear some people saying this was the most popular Chris Rock has ever been, which is actually ridiculous to me. Because it just lets me know people don't understand the legendary status of Chris Rock.
Starting point is 01:35:38 Yeah, off their damn mind. By the way, it happened on the Oscar stage, y'all. He was presenting at the Oscars. A show he's hosted a couple of times. What are we talking about here? I'm still mad at you about my underarms. Why are you mad at me? Because you ain't shaved one of the underarms. People are crazy.
Starting point is 01:35:57 How are you mad at me because you didn't shave one of the underarms? And all I did was point it out. I think he forget you on camera. I had your back yesterday about something. You mad at me because your underarms got... You just said I had a terror squad chain. I see the hair he talking about. You mad at me because your underarms got edges. What's that mean?
Starting point is 01:36:14 You got lace front underarms. Thank you for just with the mess. Whatever Tyrese had on his face the other day, you got into your left underarm and you mad at me? What is wrong with us as a people? When we come back, we got the people's choice mix. Where's Michael Rubin at? It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:36:30 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave. And Lauren LaRosa is holding it down. And we got a shout out to You Know BT.
Starting point is 01:36:47 All right. Now, he just joined Ferrari Simmons on 96.1 to be out Atlanta Station. Now, if you don't know him, of course, they do the Baller Alert podcast together. And now he's going to be doing weekdays with Ferrari at 2. So, salute to that brother. Hey, drop on a coolie box for Louis V. Louis V is the only person in our heart that can hire people. Louis V is the only person, the only person that works at a black station that seems to be able to hire people.
Starting point is 01:37:13 We can't never get nobody we want up here hired. Did he add Louis V? He added him to the show, right? That's not a new show? He added him to the show, yeah. Ferrari's doing 2 o'clock, so he added him to the show. I interviewed with Louis V for a show. And I never heard back.

I don't know what it was for. Well, shout out to the person that got the job Lauren wanted. What's his name again? You know BT.
Starting point is 01:37:32 You know BT from the Ball Alert podcast. Not that that makes sense though because Ball Alert podcast is everywhere right now so to have them on the radio only makes sense. I am just impressed
Starting point is 01:37:40 at Louis B having the opportunity to be able to hire people. Shout out to him. Louis V just said he didn't hire you because of the hair under your arms. I swear he just said that. He didn't say that. He didn't say that.
Starting point is 01:37:51 They're joking. And by the way, Lauren LaRosa does not have hair under her arms. I think you do look like a pit bull. I'm starting to see that. He does. I just cleared it up and said you don't have hair under your arms. No. So there's a hiring freeze everywhere except for Atlanta, huh?
Starting point is 01:38:03 Drop one of Clues bombs for Louis V. I'm happy for you. That's my South Carolina breadwinner. Oh, my goodness. Okay? All right. When we come back, we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 01:39:33 So pull up. And the positive note is simply this. Take rejection as an eye-opener. Take it as something that pushes you and makes you do things better. Okay, I think every opportunity, every disappointment, every rejection, every accolade, everything has contributed in shaping my character and my choices and who I have become and it will do the same for you. Have a blessed day.
