Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga.

When are we not talking butts? It's Colon Cancer Awareness Day. First of all, I don't like how you said that.

You should have said we're talking colons, all right? All right, the butt ain't got nothing to do with it. I mean, the butt does have everything to do with it. But we're talking colons. Yes. Okay? And the butt. That's right.

So we're going to have Dr. Liz and Dr. Cynthia Quainu joining us this morning. Like I said, it's Colon Cancer Awareness Day. And Charlemagne and I have been talking to you guys out there about making sure you go check yourself out. They said the age is 45, but if you have any past history or anything that's,

and they'll break it down, you know, the symptoms, you should definitely get checked a lot earlier, just in case, because if there is an issue, a problem,

a situation, if it's caught early, it can save your life yeah i mean it's it's uh they used to date the age used to be 50 right then they dropped it to 45 a lot of doctors said they should drop it to 35 you know what i mean because so many young people are getting colon cancer but like you said it's colon cancer awareness month and uh we'll be talking to the doctors this morning about it yeah Yeah, because if you even think about it, Chadwick Boseman was the age, what age?

He was 43 when he passed. 43, I think. Right, 43. I believe. No, he's 43. I think he would be 43 now, so it was two years ago, so he would have been 41 when he passed.

So just definitely, we're going to be talking about it all day long and Don Toliver will be joining us as an album lovesick and we're going to be chopping it up with day long. And Don Toliver will be joining us as an album lovesick. And we're going to be chopping it up with him in a little bit as well. That's right. All right. We got front page news coming up next with Miss Angela Rye.

Angela Rye is going to be checking in. And the reason is because me and Charlamagne sound stupid sometimes. We don't sound stupid. We just don't know what we be talking about. It's the same thing. All right. We'll get to that next is the breakfast club good morning all right that was new nicki minaj let me tell you something man i promise you don't nothing

make you feel old uh don't make you feel older when you hear artists sampling records you used to turn up to yes just think about it when we was young in the 1900s and like diddy them was sampling all the records we wasn't outside with those original records they were sampling we're in rotation. Correct. But we was outside, outside when Lumi D was cooking. Yeah, that was Lumi D. My Lord have mercy.

All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. We have Angela Rye here. What's up, Ms. Rye? Good morning, Eddie Rye, daughter. Good morning. Happy Friday, you all. Envy mentioned just a moment ago that March is, well, he actually said today is

colon cancer awareness day and March is colorectal cancer awareness month. And what we need to be aware of is that colorectal cancer rates are rising among people under 50. According to the American Cancer Society, one in five new cases of colon and rectal cancers are people in their early 50s. Since 2004, death rates for people under 50 due to colorectal cancer has consistently climbed by 1% annually. In 2019, 60% of all new colorectal cancer cases among all ages were advanced. They were advanced.

And I think that's major so it's so good that you all have guests on today talking about that to flag as envy said um of course chad with bozeman died in 2020 at the age of 43 um because of colon cancer and then more recently broadway actor quentin oliver lee died just last year at 34 after a stage four colon cancer diagnosis and boba was have been screened me cancer diagnosis and both of us have been screened me and uh dj and v have been screened we got i got screened well we got screamed over the holiday i got screamed in december you got screened in january january so yeah i got screened last year my grandfather had colon cancer wow i think you got screened last year yes indeed what was the toughest part the prep right uh i? I think mentally. What do you mean?

Just mentally. I just, you know. What? I don't want anything going in my behind. Nothing. See? So it's not just a guy thing. You know what I mean?

That's a stigma that people think is only regulated to guys. But Angela Rye felt the same way. Right. I did. And now we can move on from asses. So it's Women's History Month. And there's some good news you can use. State Representative Joanna McClinton was sworn in this week as the first female and second black speaker of the Pennsylvania House.

She's just 40 years old, which to me, a 43 is young these days. She's repping Westadelphia and now leads the oldest and largest full-time state legislature in the country she's got big shoes to fill and you guys know better than anyone you can count on a black woman to get it done west philadelphia born and raised i don't know if she's born and raised there but that's what i wanted to say that too so bad you got to when you're black you have to Congratulations Madam Speaker Because we shout out women on this show don't we That's right it's women's history month

Not to be outdone, Republican Representative Paul Sherrill, in supporting the bill the bill said this I hope we have the sound ready thank you chairman and uh thank you representative powers for bringing this I think it's a very good idea and I was just wondering about uh could I put amendment on that it would include hanging by a tree also and uh and also uh i would like to sign on to your bill sir thank you i would like him to sit down sir really you guys hanging by a tree we just on the other side of black history month i know i gotta keep saying that but i gotta keep reminding these white folks so leonard his ass definitely should have been your donkey clearly he still can't be you know

On The Breakfast Club. All right. Now, we all know allegedly Travis Scott assaulted a gentleman in a New York City nightclub. But now the gentleman is speaking out. Now he's speaking out from his hospital bed, and this is what the gentleman said. I was trying to tell him to lower it so it sounded good for the performance,

but he just stuck his middle finger in my face, so I lowered the monitor a little bit so i could talk to him and that's when he ran around the speaker and attacked me obviously my neck is up your neck your arm was happening with your arm my arm is tingling i have uh pins and needles going down it oh man go you know where you're going hey come on man my neck and my back i slipped I fell. I can't feel my legs. I can't feel my legs. He's going with it. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm hurt. Smokey, I'm hurt. I want

$150,000, but we can settle right now for $20,000. Yes. He did a conversation straight out of the hospital. Straight in his bed. You know his hospital bed, which is... Hey, do you, bro? Hey, man. And then i saw some there was a video yesterday or something right i saw something on the video now there's no video of the actual

assault and not the assault i saw some video where they travis was somewhere with somebody and he pushed somebody away i guess it was from the same venue really no he threw the phone he smacked the guy's phone that's what you seen i ain't see that yeah now he hit the guy's phone. That's what you seen. I didn't see that. Yeah, no, he hit the guy's phone. It wasn't like crazy, but he hit the guy's phone. Oh, my God. Now, Marlon Wayans, he has a new comedy special out right now. It's called Slapgate. All right? And he has a couple of jokes.

You want to hear one joke? Let's hear it. I thought it was called God Loves Me. I look over, and who is it? Chris Rock. And this was Chris Rock before the money Chris Rock like he looks he had a jerry curl but didn't have enough money for all the grease so it's like dry jerry curl but he had a shag so the grease would drip onto his

shoulders and he was like three different color black I don't know what this and it wasn't even black it was different it was iridescent look like it's eggplant black you know dull black he looked like Charlemagne the God three years ago oh my god oh my god oh my god my neck my neck my neck in my back I I'm hurt I want 150,000 but we can settle out of court right now for 20,000 Marlon and it is called

what's the name of the special God Loves Me it's called God Loves Me Luther Marlon Williams I remember one time this was years ago this was about oh man this had to be

like 11, 12 years no it was longer this had to be like 14, 15 years ago and me and Marlon Williams was going back and forth on Twitter and Marlon said

I look like a bruised eggplant. Boy, you're talking about, I think that might have been the first tweet that ever hurt my feelings. That ever hurt your feelings? A bruise? What the hell is a bruised eggplant? Think about what a bruised eggplant would look like. That's wild. That's wild.

I can't wait to watch that this weekend. A lot of good comedy this weekend. Marlon Williams, God Loves Me. Chris Rock this weekend too, right? The live one? The live one's out this weekend? I thought the live one was this weekend. I think it is. Did I make this up? Did I too, right? The live one? The live one's not this weekend? I thought the live one was this weekend. I think it is. Did I make this up? Did I make that up? It's today. It's today.

No, not today. It's tomorrow. Tomorrow. Now he also talks about, of course, the infamous slap some more. I think she put a spell on that n***a. She had a men in black voodoo doll underneath her chair. Cause that m***a out of nowhere, he just changed his whole so we saw

her roll her eyes up in her head but that ain't what she did she put a spell on him she went and the ghost of tupac chakal possessed will smith's body and then he said we're sorry Yes, you can definitely check that out. God damn, man. And lastly, I mean... I wonder how Will Smith feels. Because he's like, damn, I just had to slap somebody for talking crazy about my family. And y'all keep going in.

They keep going. It's not going to stop. It's never going to stop. Think about it. It was Eddie Murphy. Now it's Marlon. It's Chris Rock. It's not going to stop. I was like, did I not slap. Now it's Marlon. It's Chris Rock. It's not going to stop.

I'm like, did I not slap him hard enough? Should I have punched him? Should I have done more? Should I have kicked him? What should I have done? Damn. Jesus. And lastly, we got to talk Ricky Smiley.

Now, we reported about a month ago, January 29th, that his son had passed away. His son was a comedian as well, 32 years old. And yesterday, he spoke about his son passing his girlfriend called she said text brandon at this number or calling so i called nobody answered i called her back i said everything okay she was crying and she said that um in her words she said that he had od had there been a history of drug use that you knew about oh yeah he was struggling with that we had uh his mother and i made several attempts to send him to get the help that he needed sent him to rehab and We thought that he was doing better. He has just joined the church had just got baptized

again, probably a month before he passed away and He went in Just he used and it killed him, but we haven't got a toxicology report yet so this is just what we're speculating according to his girlfriend who found him yeah unresponsive damn man god bless that brother ricky smiley man i don't wish that on nobody because you know as parents all we're doing is the best we can but kids you know they they get older they make their own decisions their own choices and sometimes you know those choices lead to outcomes like this and now the parents have to live with that you know for the rest of their lives so it's just like i don't wish that kind of trauma that kind of pain that kind of

hurt on nobody no absolutely and and again like we always say definitely sending him uh healing energy and condolences to his family. I think he said his wife or his girlfriend, his family, his kids. The mother of his son. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's just a lot. And that is your rumor report.

What is Chris saying? saying in this song i've listened to this song for years i don't know who is this it's chris brown that's chris brown baby you scared baby you scared colon cancer day and that's definitely not what he's saying all right anyway we are the breakfast club good morning it's a friday and let's get in some front page bowling cancer bowling bans the awareness what's up miss ryan hey you guys all right happy friday Bowling cancer. Bowling cancer awareness.

What's up, Ms. Ra? Hey, you guys. All right. Happy Friday. So, again, we know it's Women's History Month, and I just want to shout out again Representative Joanna McClinton, who was sworn in this week in Pennsylvania, the largest and oldest full-time state legislature. She became the first woman and the second black speaker of the pennsylvania house she is repping west west philadelphia we want to congratulate madam speaker and what does a position like that mean uh angela ryan well she basically is the leader of the house of representatives which is the state legislature in Pennsylvania.

She is responsible for leading on legislation, what they're going to push forward as an agenda. She went viral last year around a reproductive justice clip and her star continues to rise. So she's got some big shoes to fill, but we know that black women can do all things. That's a fact. So on the other hand that was

good news in politics there is some not so good news in politics on the national level we went from we did it joe to don't do that joe president biden reversed course yesterday frustrating progressives the congressional black caucus where you all know I used to work, and a large swath of the Democratic Caucus by saying he will sign a GOP-led resolution overturning the Revised Criminal Code Act, which is a Washington, D.C. sentencing law that reduced penalties on a variety of criminal offenses. You all may be saying, what in the world does that mean? Let me just tell you. He initially said that he would veto this bill if it came to his desk. And we need to understand why it's a problem. And it is a major problem. The reason for that is a majority of DC voters supported the act. More than 83% of DC voters, according to a poll done by hit strategies and my good friend, Terrence Woodbury. And to be

honest, Congress shouldn't have input into D.C. laws to begin with. This is why it's so important for us to vote and make sure that things shift because D.C. should have statehood. What does it mean that D.C. doesn't have statehood? D.C.'s own member of Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, could not even vote on this bill. She is what is called a delegate on the House floor. So she has no House floor vote. So when the House of Representatives just took this up and voted to overturn the revised Criminal Code Act, she could not even vote. And you already know that they do

not have two senators in Washington, D.C., again, because there is no statehood. So Joe Biden siding with the Republican Republicans in the House Biden siding with the Republicans in the House and siding with Republicans and more moderates in the Senate, both majority white, is starting to feel a little crime bill-ish. So, go ahead. I was going to say, are Democrats really surprised that Joe Biden sided with a tough-on-crime bill? Joe Biden has always been a tough-on-crime politician.

Always. Well, here's the thing. He has traditionally been a tough on crime politician, but we also know that there were campaign promises made that they would reverse the harms created by the 1994 crime bill. This is a 180 on that campaign promise. Should we call those campaign lies? We should call those campaign lies. I'm calling them campaign promises because I believe that the power still lies with the people.

And if people want to, they can call the White House right now and say, don't do it, Joe. It ain't worth it at 202-456-1111. I know that's a little beyond the scope of front page news, but y'all know how I roll. And he still needs to be told he can say yay to rcca he ain't listening the 107 years he's been alive why he gonna start listening now and and you know next year i i feel the gop that's not true you know that's not true you know i take personal issue with that because we pressure joe biden to pick a black woman vice president i'm talking about crime bill crime legislation okay i'm talking about crime legislation. I'm talking about crime legislation. And you know, next year, the GOP and Democrats are both going to be pushing a tough on crime agenda.

I think that's what they're going to try to win America over with. I agree with that. That is exactly what's going to happen, especially if we do not tell folks where our power is, where we stand, and make sure they know that 83 of dc voters do not agree with this you cannot just over overturn the will of the people like that ain't cool that's not how you should use your position of power do it for student loan debt but not to bring back mandatory minimums send it tough sentences on carjacking like some of these kids need to be coached and help to understand why they can't be engaged in certain behaviors yeah we need alternatives we definitely need alternatives but the crime has to stop we got to figure out what we need to be coached and help to understand why they can't be engaged in certain behaviors. We need alternatives. We definitely need alternatives, but the crime

has to stop. We got to figure out what we need to do with these kids to make sure that they don't do this again and they have other options. Those alternatives haven't been out there forever. The people like the Erica Ford of the world, Tamika Mallory, they've been telling people what alternatives are. Not just telling people. People like Erica Ford have been out in the street actually

delivering that kind of action. They're doing what the government should be doing that we need to fund more of that so that these kids can do exactly right what's happening is is these kids are committing crimes and they're they're getting out there there are no no penalties and and they're doing it again and the problem is if you put these kids in jail you're just creating a bad cycle but if you give them alternatives you fund those alternatives it gives them other things to do whether it is you know find out what these kids want to do whether if they want to get into real estate or they want to get into uh whatever hey man proper mental health care most of these kids just need a hug you know what i'm saying most of these kids need some love you know what i mean and it's going to be interesting next year because

like i said uh the gop and democrats are both going to be pushing a tough on crime agenda and we know nobody has a better history of that than president biden so it's going to be very awkward when he on the campaign trail next year you know telling people about his history uh locking our black and brown asses up well that's gonna be tough to stand by the one i agree and he shouldn't stand by it. There are alternatives now. They didn't exist in 1994. So hopefully we can move forward in a positive direction. All right. Well, thank you, Miss.

Right. You have a great weekend. And tell them where to follow you as you arrive. They want to bother you on social media this weekend. I don't want no, but nobody bother me on social media. But if you want to follow me, it's at Angela underscore right on Twitter and tick tock for as long as we have TikTok and at Angela Rye on Instagram. I love you. I love you.

Thank you. Now, today is colon cancer awareness day. And we have Dr. Liz and Dr. Cynthia Quay. No, I'm going to be answering all your questions when it comes to colon cancer and colon cancer awareness. So don't move. We'll talk to them next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club, and we got some special guests joining us this morning. Very important guests. We have Dr. Cynthia and Dr. Liz joining us. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, gentlemen. I love the blue. That's Hampton University blue, H-U blue. I like that. Well, it's cold and cancer. We're here this day, so that's why I'm wearing this blue. That's Hampton University blue. H-U blue. I like that. Well, it's colon cancer. We're here this day, so that's why I'm wearing this blue. That's right. Now that we're here to talk about this day, man.

That's right. Colon cancer. First off, tell them your stories. So, my name is Dr. Lisette Caesar. I actually go by Dr. Liz. I was diagnosed in 2019, August 5th. May 30th is when I first had symptoms. Went to urgent care.

He said, we need to call an ambulance for you. I said, no. You just need a little penicillin or a little antibiotics and be good, right? Go to the hospital. And then I had surgery July 23rd. They opened me up and that's when they saw it was cancer. So I never had a colonoscopy in all that time that I was sick. So you haven't had a colonoscopy before that?

No, I've had several. No, no, before that you haven't at all? No, because at that time, the recommended age was 50. It's 45 now, but it was 50 at that time. So no, it was never recommended to me. So you know how... I hate that, by the way. I hate the fact it's 45.

It actually should be younger because more people are getting it at younger ages. You think the age should be 40? No, I actually think 35. I think 35 too. Because my, you know, and it's so stupid. So, you know, my wife went to go get a colonoscopy and they told her that she couldn't get it yet because she wasn't at the age as yet. And the only way that you can get it is if there was like anal bleeding or family history, family history, all these different things. That's the only way that they would do it.

And I just think that's bad. I think if somebody wants to go because they have a feeling, right, they should be able to go. Well, so he can talk about that. So I was going to say, actually, with any type of have a feeling right they should be able to go Actually with any type of lower GI complaint you should be able to get a colonoscopy So not just blood per rectum, but also any change in your bowel habits like new onset constipation new diarrhea Bloating so any type of abdominal pain should warrant an investigation no matter what your age is now charlamagne and i discussed our colonoscopies but the reason we did it was because we know so many brothers are scared to go to the doctor right

they consider it you know it's a gay ag i don't want to doctor in my ass but you know charlamagne and i always always tell people you want to live for your family you know i got six kids he has four so can you explain the procedure for people that don't know. I did the pills. Did you do the juice? I mean, the drink or the pills? I did the pills. Okay. The prep is the hardest part. Yeah.

Right. Exactly. But not the prep that she gives. That's how I met her. Because she's one of the doctors that actually did one of my colonoscopies during this four-year cancer journey that I've been on. And so, her prep was one of the easier preps. I've done some difficult preps. And hers was one of the easiest preps I've done.

Mine was 24 pills. Do tell, Dr. Sarah. Do tell. So, there's quite a few preps I've done some difficult preps and hers was one of the easiest preps I've done. Mine was 24 pills. Do tell Dr. Sebi. There's quite a few preps and but yes the preparation is the worst part of the whole process so usually the day before your procedure for 24 hours you do a clear liquid diet fasting so that's no solid food tea coffee without milk Gatorade ginger ale chicken broth water jello and then you'll have a very detailed schedule so you'll likely take half of it the day before and the other half about six hours before your procedure and you're expected to have probably the worst diarrhea that you've ever had yeah

that's the whole goal of preparation. You put water you lose about 2-3 Right. So the whole idea is to make your poop look almost like urine, right? Clear and yellow. So you're as clean as possible. And that's so when the doctor goes inside, they can see everything. We don't want to miss anything. If it's not so clean, you have to do the whole thing all over again. So your best bet is to try as hard as you can the first time. One thing that we didn't share is after I got checked, the doctor removed four polyps.

And two of those polyps had the potential to turn into cancerous cells. And he was saying that if he didn't remove those polyps, there's a great possibility that I would have cancer. Sure. So what does that mean and how long does it take for a polyp to actually turn into cancer? Because then he was like, well, you come eight years. I'm a little scared. I'll say I'll see you in three. But that's just me.

How long does it take for polyps to actually turn into cancer? How does that work? So there's different types of polyps. But the whole goal of a colonoscopy for screening purposes is to find benign polyps and certain benign polyps. Like the one you're speaking of is called a tubular adenoma. And there is a sequence of progression that a tubular adenoma can eventually progress to become a colon cancer. And that usually we think takes about 10 to 15 years. And so that's why the colon cancer screening surveillance is timed at 10 years mostly. So what happens if it goes faster? Because when you said eight years, I'm like, Doc, I'm like, I need to see you in three.

I would go every year. Not because I enjoy it, so shut up. But I would go every year because I'd rather be safe than sorry. Sure, sure, sure. I understand that. So, you know, the timing is based on statistical data and also research. But I understand your concern. And there's no way to specifically say if maybe if you had a genetic proclivity, maybe it might go faster.

It's difficult to tell. But the guidelines and the recommendations are made based on general data. Is there any specific way to prevent colon cancer? Is it diet? What is it? So what we found is that diets that are high in fiber, fruits and vegetables, are helpful. Diets that are low in red meat, sausage, bacon, that type of thing are also helpful. Vitamin D levels are also having shown to be important to take vitamin B supplementation if you have a low vitamin D level.

Sedentary lifestyles, no exercise, being overweight or obese is also a risk factor. Tobacco use, certainly a very strong risk factor for colon cancer and a lot of other cancers as well. And alcohol use as well so anything more than moderate use one to two drinks per day anything more than that is also considered a risk factor what about those of us because i didn't have any polyps no redness nothing so when should i go back according to the guidelines between seven to ten years but ten years for a normal colonoscopy yes now what about women a lot of women don't go for colonoscopies and why is that right so we were just talking they'll go for a mammogram but they won't go for a colonoscopy that's why i'm here

one is because i want to make sure that all african americans are aware of this disease because it's on the rise in the african-american community that is showing that right now it's the second deadliest cancer but in 2035 is showing that it probably be the most deadliest cancer especially among African Americans. I know that a lot of women are not getting it, but we're getting mammograms. And so the same way that when you are, they say, you know, make your mammogram appointment on your birthday, that day

you should make all those kind of screening appointments. And I actually what I did for my sorority, I'm an AKA, so it's Dr. Cynthia. We're having a Pink Goes Blue Day, March 18th for my chapter in Brooklyn, Silamlams omega so i had these booklets made and so here are all the different screenings women should have and at what age should you have it at what time of year you should have it so i have this for your your

wives just so that we can remind ourselves it's important in terms of health and wellness to take care of our bodies and to see the doctor on a regular basis i saw the doctor on a regular basis but again i was not of age to get a colonoscopy. And I didn't have symptoms until literally that week. So sometimes with colon cancer, you have no symptoms and you could be walking around stage four. At the time, I was stage two. The cancer came back three times. Wow. So right now I'm a stage four colon cancer survivor.

So I was just told two months ago that I'm in remission. Thank God. But it took four years for me to get here, you know, and it wasn't an easy process. And I have a lot of side effects. And so that's why I tell my story, because I don't want anyone to go through what I'm going through post cancer. What I went through during cancer, working, not working. I had to take a year off the first time I was diagnosed from being a New York City public school principal. Came back during a pandemic. My kids were afraid to hug me. And that's how some of my books came about. And I'm going to talk about my books in terms of little Lizzie.

And the second time I came back, I was adamant I didn't want to go back on infusions. If you know anyone who's going through a cancer treatment, you're sitting there for five hours getting infusions. It's hard. It's a hard time. It's a hard life. You know, chemo breaks down the good and the bad cells. And you're sitting there with absolutely nothing to do. And you're getting sicker as you're taking this medicine.

So I've had colon resection surgery twice. I've had liver resection surgery twice. I've had liver resection surgery twice. I've had numerous now colonoscopies. And I was just telling Cynthia, I had a colonoscopy three weeks ago where I stopped breathing. What? Because of the anesthesia? Yeah.

What? And then last, on the 18th, I had my medical report taken out because it caused me to get a blood clot. The blood clot now, I've been on medicine for four months for it, and now it's causing me to be severely anemic. So colon cancer has caused all these additional issues in the last four years. So if people just go and get a simple test, and yeah, you have one night of uncomfortability, but you know what?

You could be saving your life and saving a lot of time and energy. And so there's a lot of post-cancer things I'm still dealing with. All right, we got more with Dr. Liz and Dr cynthia quaynew when we come back it's colon cancer awareness day it's the breakfast club good morning everybody is dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking with dr liz and dr cynthia quaynew uh it's colon cancer awareness day and that's what we're talking about i was gonna ask what's the survival rate of colon cancer so that depends on this stage so what we're hoping about. I was going to ask, what's the survival rate of colon cancer? So that depends on the stage. So what we're hoping to find during a screening colonoscopy

is just a polyp to remove our early stage colon cancers. If you stay zero or stage one, the survival for five years is over 90%. Of course, as you go further, stage three and four, it's lower. Why don't they do couples colonoscopy? I think that's a great idea. Actually, Gail, Oprah's best friend, and her partner, they posted their couples colonoscopy.

I tried to go with Charlamagne. I thought that would be like a bromance. We go together, we talk about it on air. I'll try it. I think that would be cool. You make it cool. When you heard a song about it on the radio, did you think it was cool? You don't even remember anything from your colonoscopy. Neither do I.

So you wouldn't even have the fantasy in your head, sir. There's no fantasy, but we could have went together because I was kind of nervous. Because you're not professional in front of the doctors for once. No, I'm serious. I was fine. You're not a medical doctor. Cynthia's the only medical doctor in here. No way. I still want an acupuncture. I have an EDD. There's a difference. Because I was fine.

As long as you get it done, if you want to do it next week, it's okay. We could have did it together. It could be a support system. I'm not even having fun. I woke up with Cynthia Zuhman and I was joking around. You woke up? I did. And I was looking at the screen and talking to her. You woke up? That's wild.

Oh, come on. This is top tier stuff. Sometimes that happens. So you woke up in the middle and was like, hey, what's up? I was gonna scream for the policy myself. I'm like,

I don't see anything. I think I'm good. Like, yeah. If I woke up, I would've fainted. If I woke up and it was in my butt and I'm looking at this,

I would've fainted. At this point, I've gone through so much. You just gotta make fun of it because it's just ridiculous with the things I've gone through in this last four years. So I try to have

as much fun as possible because I just don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring do you think your treatment would have been shorter had the doctors caught the cancer from the beginning and do you ever get upset because a lot of the things you have to go through is because of the fact they so when i when i learned i was misdiagnosed of course i i sought legal representation i was i was ready it's a different institution so it wasn't my monities and it wasn't um sloan-kennery where i'm atimonides and it wasn't Sloan-Kennedy where I'm at now. Maimonides and Sloan-Kennedy

have been amazing. So I'm not going to say the name of the institution because, you know, I'm here representing the Colon Cancer Alliance. They told me something like that.

Stop saying that. You know, misdiagnosed you. Okay. It wasn't me. It wasn't. It was before I met Cynthia.

Because it was only a few months, all of the lawyers said that i didn't have a case but i was really sad and upset about that because i'm thinking had i been told early on that could have saved a few months out of this whole journey who knows where i would have been you know but you know i'm just happy to be here and happy to be here to advocate early screening and i'm hoping that eventually that the health departments and this government will realize that it needs to be lowered this and it has to be you know age 35 question why do they don't allow cameras you don't have to answer this that was a question i don't even know if she can answer so charlotte i noticed you're not wearing blue today for colon cancer awareness day because hold on when is it today Today. Today. Today is Friday. Damn.

Dumb. Yes, I'm going to change. No. Give me something blue to wear. I brought gifts. Okay. Oh, thank you so much. We appreciate you guys coming. Thank you so much.

Hold on, we got to talk Little Lizzy books too. Yeah, well, I'm going to tell you why you got these gifts because of Little Lizzy books. So, all three of my books were written because of my colon cancer journey

and they're all set in Brooklyn and my girlfriend has a store called My BK Life and I was like listen I don't know if they're gonna remember my blue stuff so give me some blue hats for My BK Life so that they can wear some blue stuff but I do have three books when I was first getting chemo I wrote Little Lizzie Learns to Read I took a year off during that time from being a principal so this first book is my love letter to my students at Mosaic. And it's about my reading challenges and overcoming those challenges with perseverance and grit and the love of family. And that literally was written while I was getting chemo back in 2019.

Wow. And so the second book, when I said to you, I went back to work during a pandemic and the kids didn't want to hug me. The kids didn't have any understanding what cancer meant. And so I quickly wrote Little Lizzie and the Big Blue Parade to give them an understanding about cancer in terms of a children's book. I first did research on cancer books

for children and I bought everything I could find on Amazon. But most of the books were of Caucasian children or of teddy bears. I'm not a fan of teddy bears getting sick and showing those kind of things in terms of being sick and i wanted a character that looked like me so i said okay so now little lizzie part two is going to come out and that's how little lizzie the big blue parade came out and that was pretty much right after the first one because they both came out the same year and this book my third book came out in um october during anti-bullying month i was

bullied in high school i was told I was fat and overweight. And my cousin Lori and I went to school from pre-K all through high school. And she was very skinny. So we were called Hamburger and French Fry. And so I wrote Little Lizzy, her cousin Lori, and the Not-So-Bucket-Filling Friends. Because bullying is a huge situation in schools today. And when I would talk to my students about the fact that I was bullied, they were like, no, you're not.

No, you weren't because you're a principal. I'm not sure why kids, you know. Like you just came back to the room as a principal, right'm not sure why kids you know like you just came back as a principal right yeah but you know elementary kids right so the five six seven eight they don't have that understanding like you went through things too you know I didn't just wake up one day and become principal so there was a lot going on in those years before becoming educators so I wanted them to know a little bit about this particular journey so all three of my books are based on real life events and are based on real life obstacles. And how did I overcome those obstacles? Well, thank you ladies for joining us as well.

And how can people get more information for this Instagram, online, the website, treatment, the treatments and all that? So I do have lots of information for you guys. I feel like we need to make this a regular thing. Like it can't be just like on colon cancer awareness month or colon cancer awareness day.

Sure. There's a lot of other issues. I'd like to have these conversations a lot more often. So going to the Colon Cancer Alliance website, there's a quiz on whether or not you should be screened. There's definitely information. You can go to quiz.screen.org, which will lead you to the Colon Cancer Alliance page. And there's also pamphlets on the website. And, of course, on my social media platforms,

I talk about colon cancer all the time. I'm on TikTok. I'm on Instagram. I'm on Facebook. I'm on Twitter. Usually my handle is LizBC1908. And so definitely you can find information there. And information about my book is on littlelizzie.org.

Gotcha. What's the most important thing you want people to take away from this conversation? To get some type of screening done. Okay. Age 45, if you have no family history, if you have symptoms, it doesn't matter what age it is, discuss your family history with your loved ones. Because a lot of us don't know. We don't like to talk about the C word, right? So if you're first degree relative, your mother, father, sister, brother has a history of colon cancer, that drastically changes the age at which you should have your first screening. It would be 40 or it would be 10 years earlier than

the youngest affected person in your family. That's a big deal. I would encourage everyone to get screened. And before we leave, can I just ask that your listening audience reach out to Governor Kathy Hochul and ask her to make March officially colon cancer awareness month. It is not in New York City. It is in New Jersey and other states. Yes. And so we need to make it official. Making it official means

you bring awareness to the entire state. That's right. So I've written to Kathy Hochul several times. I called her office yesterday.

Her system was not so nice. Really? Yeah. Because you're trying to get colon cancer. You know, she's a schedule.

I said, well, can I make an appointment with her? So I've emailed her on her website. I've tweeted at her. I literally tweet at the governor every single know, she's a schedule. I said, well, can I make an appointment with her? Cause I've emailed her on her website. I've tweeted at her. I literally tweet at the governor every single day

about five times a day. I've done TikToks to the governor. Like there is no response and they said that they do have on the proclamation request in the system.

Wow. So what are you doing with the, with the request? So I said, well, can I get on her schedule? My goal now is just to

go to Albany probably next Tuesday. Just kind of wait out there. I'm praying I don't get arrested because I don't have any bail money. She's been up there before. Governor Hochul, if you're listening and somebody from your office is listening, that's whack. Okay.

We need to make, what is it, colon cancer awareness? We need to make an official that March is colon cancer awareness month in the state of New York. Word. All right. Well, Dr. Liz, Dr. Cynthia, thank you so much. It's the Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Well why can't

I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help!

No, it's not freaky Friday. Well, some people think going to get a colon cancer screening is freaky. Why? I don't know. You know what I mean? No, we had the screening and the procedure. We did. Yes.

We had the screening and the procedure. We did. Yes, we had the screening and procedure. Salute to Dr. Cynthia and Dr. Liz for pulling up to talk to us about colon cancer away in this month. And go get checked, man. Yes. I don't want to hear anything about it. There should be no stigma around staying alive. That's really the moral of the story. There should be no stigma around staying alive. No, it's funny.

Angela Rye, who did Front Page News earlier, was talking about she didn't want to go because she didn't want to. She don't like nothing in her butt. Nothing in her butt. But you just automatically assume that the men would feel that way and the women wouldn't, but I guess everybody feels that way.

Everybody feels that way. People don't necessarily care for butt play. No disrespect to all our listeners out there who love butt play. You know what I mean? But everybody ain't into butt play. See, that's why you shouldn't let your kids listen. Butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt.

We're mixing two conversations here. That is correct. The main thing we're trying to say is everybody go get checked for colon cancer. I'm going to put my thumb in you. See, you ain't had to say that. 90% of all colon cancer is preventable if you get it early. Yes, if you get the procedure early. What did I say?

If you get it early. If you catch it early. If you get the procedure early, yes, you can catch it early and it's preventable and treatable. Alright, well, we got rumors on the way. We got to talk about Chris Brown. He's overseas. He's on tour. He's killing it out there, too. Well, he tossed a girl's cell phone.

We'll tell you why. We'll do it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's start off with Chris Brown. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it.

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

Now, Chris Brown has been trending recently. That's because he was performing out in Berlin. He invited a young lady up for a lap dance and she was sitting on her chair and Chris was serenading her and dancing for her. But she was more concerned with being on her phone. She wanted to tape the whole thing. She wanted to, you know,

actually record it. And Chris was a little upset about that. He's sitting there, he's dancing, you know, he's giving them sexy vibes. And she was more on her phone so he grabbed the phone and chucked it in the crowd why you got so excited calling chris brown sexy just now bro i said he was giving sexy vibes i didn't say he was sexy i'm shocked that chris uh isn't used to that though because i mean that's chris whole era right like no oh chris chris a young boy yeah but still but if he brings somebody on stage and he's

dancing you want to be in the moment you don't be on your phone that is not true you have to know that if you're bringing somebody on stage in 2023 they're pulling out their phone the whole thing on stage with chris brown i don't care i need to get this for myself no i need my own footage enjoy the moment there is no such thing as enjoying the moment for these kids i agree with you but for these kids this is their moment okay no think about when you go to these contests and these shows everybody watching things through their phone. I'm just shocked that he was surprised she pulled her phone out of the recorder. Well, he chucked her phone into the crowd, and people were upset about that.

So he could have just put the phone down. He could have took the phone, but she did get her phone back. But I get him. I feel him. I bring you on stage. I'm dancing for you. No. I'm doing this sexy little light-skinned stomach twirl.

I don't feel that at all i feel him saying yo man won't you enjoy the moment but you have to know in 2023 she whipping that phone out to get a close-up of them abs bro well the young lady got her phone back so people were talking about that now uh yeah that was an overreaction by chris by the way maybe he just got excited maybe he got caught up in the moment maybe but she got her phone back now uh young miami of course of the city girls she was on mary j blige's uh i guess it's her talk show it's called the wind down you guess it's her talk show i don't know it started just started yeah uh she was on the debut episode of the wind down and she talked about good sex is when you take somebody's soul what is good sex um soulful sex

it's like me as head. It's heart. It's a connection. I got to have a connection. That don't sound like you're a young man. Good sex is like when you take somebody's soul. Like when you feel like I love you. I can feel you like.

Issues. I agree. Because I think the orgasm is deeper. It comes from way deep down inside somewhere. First of all, I can't do it if there's no connection. I tried it. I'm having... Anybody I've had sex with, we have a friendship, a connection.

That's when it's like not a connection. I'm so confused. I gotta go crazy. What you confused about? I feel like I'm hearing two different people. It was Mary J. Blige, Taraji P. Henson, and Young Miami. You ain't say nothing about no Taraji. All right, well, let's try this again. I'm like, what the hell is happening? Mary J. Blige was kicking it with Taraji P. Henson and Young Miami. You ain't say nothing about no Taraji. All right, well, let's try this again.

I'm like, what the hell is happening? Mary J. Blige was kicking it with Taraji P. Henson and Young Miami. And Young Miami says good sex is when you take somebody's soul. Let's try it again. What is good sex? Soulful sex. It's like me as head. It's heart.

It's a connection. I got to have a connection. Me too. I think good sex is like when you take somebody's soul. Like when you feel like I love you. connection. Me too. I think good sex is like when you take somebody's soul, like when you feel like, I love you, I can feel you, like, it's just... I agree. Because I think the orgasm is deeper.

It comes from way deep down inside somewhere. First of all, I can't do it if there's no connection. No connection. I tried it. I'm having... Anybody I've had sex with, up we have a friendship i feel like that's what it's like not a connection because it's like i gotta go crazy i could just like get it one time it's good and we just i can't go out well baby steps my brothers you know some of y'all

Don't worry about the sole. Figure out the clitoris first, okay? Don't go in the bedroom worrying about the sole, you know what I mean? Focus on that thing first. I'm just saying. Did you have to dump that, Red? No.

Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't have to dump that. Did he have to dump that? He dumped it just in case. He did it just in case. All I said is you can't even make them first. There you go. Okay, but you want to snatch souls.

What is wrong with you? I'm just saying. It's freaking, freaking, freaking bad. I'm just saying, bro. What's wrong with you? Alright. I'm just saying. Alright. Well, that is your room report. Who are you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour. We need Paul Sherrell to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please.

All right. Who's that? Oh, he's a state representative from Tennessee. All right. Yes. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. The Voice returns with a season so amazing it gets a four-chair turn. One, Blake Shelton's final season. Two, the return of Kelly Clarkson. Three and four new coaches, Chance the Rapper, and Niall Horne. The Voice returns Monday and Tuesday on NBC. This is a miracle.

There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. It was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society But I'm also very proud that my wife was right

The Breakfast Club bitches please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Hold on me sip this damn medicine. Mm-hmm Let me tell you something boy and medicine balls from Starbucks be slapping. You hear me? Donkey of the day for Friday, March 3rd, goes to State Representative Paul Shirell. Now, Paul was in a House Criminal Justice Committee meeting Tuesday discussing an amendment to a bill that would allow death row inmates to be executed with a firing squad. Yes. A method that is currently not allowed in Tennessee.

Now, needless to say, Paul Shirell is with it. He wants to death by firing squad, even though it's clearly a method of execution that's cruel and unusual. Even in my home state of South Carolina, a Richland County court ruled back in December that both electrocution and the firing squad violate the South Carolina Constitution

because the state constitution bars methods of execution that are cruel, unusual, or corporal. And the methods of execution that are cruel, unusual or corporal. And the court found both methods are cruel, unusual and corporal. But this is what Paul wants in Tennessee. OK, this isn't all he wants. See, Paul is old school. All right.

He was born in nineteen hundred and fifty nine, five years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was implemented. The reason I'm bringing that up is because what do you think he was hearing as a young child in Tennessee from the older people around him during that time would you like to guess what do you think his father his grandfather what do you think they was instilling in young Paul's head do you think they was telling him about the good old days when lynching was a public spectacle a celebration of white supremacy it sure sounds. Okay, because Paul not only wants to see death by firing squad implemented, he added something else to the menu. Let's go to News Channel 5 Nashville for the report, please.

All right, it's February 28th. Welcome to the Criminal Justice Full Committee. It was a typical meeting on Capitol Hill that quickly turned to a very atypical topic surrounding death row inmates and how they're executed. The opportunity to add a firing squad as a method of execution. of Correction to properly follow protocol when executing prisoners using lethal injection, leading to questions not usually heard on Capitol Hill. Will a person be shot in the head or the heart or where will a person be shot? But then came the comment prompting an apology tonight.

It came from Republican Representative Paul Sherrill from Sparta. Thank you, Representative Powers, for bringing this. I think it's a very good idea. Could I put an amendment on that? It would include hanging by a tree also. Jesus. Could I put an amendment on that? It would include hanging by a tree also. Damn. Southern trees bearing strange fruit, blood on the leaves and blood at the root, black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, strange fruit blood on the leaves and blood at the root black bodies swinging in the southern breeze strange fruit hanging from the polar trees hanging that good old american pastime as i said before lynching was a celebration okay and from 1882 to 1968

4743 lynchings occurred in the u.s according to records uh maintained by naacp and black people were the primary victims of lynching okay 72 72 i repeat 72 of the people lynched were black but they weren't the only victims of lynching okay some white people were lynched for helping black people or for being anti-lynching and for the record there were 236 lynchings in tennessee between 1877 and 1950 according to the equalal Justice Initiative. Those are not so fun facts. Well, fun probably for people in Paul Shirell's family. I'm sure he was told about the good old days, the good times they had at lynchings,

and he would love to bring black tradition. He would love to bring back tradition. Okay, well, tradition for you is trauma for us, Paul. Now, Paul did apologize. Let's go back to News Channel 5 Nashville for the report, please. Tonight, Sheryl apologized in a statement released from the House Republican caucus, saying, I regret that I used very poor judgment in voicing my support of a colleague's bill. And my exaggerated comments were intended to convey my belief that for the cruelest and most heinous crimes, a just society requires the death penalty in kind.

He goes on to say, my intention was to express my support of families who often wait decades for justice. I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been hurt or offended. Tonight, the Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP responded, saying in part, Representative Sherrill's comment is beyond disgusting. He is celebrating a particular form of execution used against African Americans in Tennessee and across the nation, including innocent and wrongfully convicted persons. In many parts of the South, lynchings took place in nearly every county as it exemplified racialized and anti-black violence.

He just apologized because he said it out loud. OK, remember about six years ago, maybe a little longer than that. Probably a little longer when President Obama was in office. And, you know, we thought we was living in a post-racial America and there were these conversations about old bigots dying. All right. Some people would ask the question some people would make a statement but basically the sentiment was racism will end when old bigots die i don't think anyone ever thought racism would disappear completely but that it would maybe lessen with each generation you know some people to the chagrin of dr umar thought the more interracial

relationships that popped up and the more biracial children there are the more equality we would see i never agreed with that because you can be biracial but if you present as black you are indeed still and some people thought the more people of color we see in positions of power it will help to change the way people see race well we had a black president a black and asian vice president we got people of color on the supreme court all throughout congress all i'm saying is there's people of color in positions of power everywhere now but i don't feel racism lessening okay at all especially when you have people like paul shero in positions of power in their respective states like you know hearing paul asking to add hanging to that amendment

doesn't surprise me in the least bit nope doesn, doesn't surprise me at all. Simply because in the words of Thanos, as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. Tradition for you is trauma for us. Please let Chelsea Handler give Paul Shirell the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. I ain't hear the hee-haw now. Let me hear that hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. I ain't hear the hee-haw now.

Let me hear that hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. All right. Hold on now. I'm sorry, God. You know Captain Griffin want to say something.

I'm thin. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. What else you got? You know, Chris Rock performing live in Baltimore tomorrow for the first ever Netflix special stand-up that's going to be live. And you're going to hear that tomorrow night. Okay? I've seen that set a couple times. Matter of fact, play it again one more time, Chris Rock.

That's right. What about my girl? My girl working this morning? Okay. It's making show. All right. Everybody's up. All right everybody's up all right well thank you for that donkey today now when we come back uh don toliva will be joining us yes don toliva will be here man don toliva is a young artist from houston man he just had a show here in new york

he just put out a project um and you know who else is going to be joining us our good our good sister nyla simone because today is friday know, she does pass the aux on Friday. So she was in here with me when Don Tolliver was here. So we had a nice conversation with Don Tolliver. And Don Tolliver is Travis Scott's artist.

He is? Yeah. I didn't know he was Travis Scott's artist. Yeah, he's Travis Scott's artist. Oh, I knew that. That's cool. Nah, I think he's

Travis Scott's artist. We didn't talk about that during the conversation. All right. Well, we'll talk to him next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Yeah, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. And we got a special guest in here this morning, man. I also got Nala Simone in here, you know, holding it down with me. But Don Toliver is here. What's up, my brother? What's up, O.J.? How you feeling? I'm blessed, black, and highly favored, man.

You got the new album, Lovesick. I have to say I'm a little disappointed that you don't have a leather coat on right now so i see what you're saying i had this is like some different type of like it just feels good i'm sorry i couldn't do that leather it's restricting you know what i'm saying i wanted to be comfortable well talk to us about the new album, man, Lovesick. Why that title? Well, Lovesick is kind of just the threshold to a story that I created. I wanted to make an album

and I wanted to make a movie and a soundtrack for the album. Lovesick is basically just a term for you going through whatever you're going through with your significant other, whether it's bad, good,

ugly, sad, whatever. Everybody within the movie short film that i created for lovesick is lovesick whether it's the cook the diner the cop me my girlfriend so it's something that you have to pay attention to in a movie to really understand but that's exactly what definition you know that's a narrative you don't really hear from artists nowadays because artists you know historically want to be players and pimps and run through a bunch of women you know what i mean to actually have somebody looking for love and to say they love sick that's a little different it's definitely just like your own choice is really what it is it's like do you choose to you know stay faithful and lock in

with your significant other or do you choose to deal with everything else in the world that has nothing to do with that so that's basically you know the duality of lovesick on the first track of lovesickness you say um love is the fall that you don't get up from yeah was this written prior to you falling or are you still like in that process i made that statement at the end of the song just to let people know sometimes that love is heavier than what you think you know i'm? Sometimes you fall in love with somebody and that same feeling sticks with you for years and you don't understand why. And that's what I meant by it. You know, you're never supposed to fall in love, though. Really?

Because when you fall, anytime you fall historically in life, you get hurt. You're supposed to grow. Yeah. In love with people. That's why I said falling in love is the one fall you don't get up from. You still down? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I'm still down for sure.

Down for the count. I feel like down makes it sound like bad. When you're actually in a good spot, it looks like. I'm in a good spot, but I mean, it's just like, you know, when you're in a relationship, sometimes it's not like peas and cream. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes it gets, you know, y'all busy,

y'all schedules conflict, y'all might be arguing about the littlest, the dumbest things, you know? That's real. It's like a lot of stuff that goes on that makes a relationship tougher than what it is sometimes. I really like and let her go when you're like, I think I'm really here for once. Is that what your relationship with Callie feels like? Like, is this the first time you feel present with your partner?

100%. More than I've ever been with somebody, for sure. I'm just way more invested into my relationship than I've probably been in any other relationship i love that good for you i love the flip that you guys did with benny beanie man and maya uh for for me was that like on purpose is that a sentimental record for you guys or were you guys just in the studio and came up with that it was a record um it was a record i really love that that sample a lot. Big sample. It's a crazy sample. Big sample. Girls Dem Sugar is a crazy sample.

I really love that song a lot, and it's just like, you know, I kind of wanted some. I've been into just like really having fun dancing lately, so I wanted kind of like that dance hall feel. And I love Neptunes a lot, so it was kind of like the best of both worlds. And then Weezy did the sample on the beat, So it really, really, I just had to do it. Is it hard mixing the business, I guess, with the pleasure? No. Me and my girls, it's beautiful, you know. We just kind of stay on the music side.

The whole business thing, I'm just like, whatever she want, cool, blah, blah, blah, let it go. I don't even like really dealing to it too much. I love that. Speaking of dancing, you talk about the dancing. What is that dance you do when your hands is moving and your feet? You have a name for that? It's called Do The Fool. Do The Fool?

Do The Fool. Do The Fool is crazy. It's something I created in Australia last year. And Metro was dropping his album. And I had three songs on the album. I was very excited to hear the album. And I don't know what got into me. I was outside just chilling, listening to the album in my i told my bro to record me and my feet just started moving

and then after that i never stopped doing the dance again it looks like you're dancing like nobody's watching but we're literally all watching so i'm like 100 but when you hit it on stage i'm like man this guy is having the time of his life yeah Yeah, Travis Scott came out. That was that was crazy Did you rush the deluxe because you knew that this was happening like the show and you wanted Travis to come or I really? Just wanted him on my album. I wanted to tease him on my album and I just wanted to give the fans like a couple You know more songs. I feel like they were asking for a lot. The album was just amazing I never had a chance to really just give fans immediately some, you know, it was like one of the funnest things for me to do.

It was challenging because after I dropped my album, I was like, yo, I want to give my fans some more music. But it was like kind of challenging because I have so much music and I had to break it down into like four songs that I wanted to put on this album. Because you did it within like a week span. Why not give us a tape and then the project

like why make it so lengthy i wanted to even 20 and like i said i want to travel and uh teaser on my album immediately i didn't want to wait a week i didn't want to wait a month i wanted them on my album you know i wanted to listen through exactly how i plan to see it immediately then wait and i feel like the fans want the same thing i even was wondering, you know What the four new songs that you added? How do you even decide what you want to put out originally because you know, you don't just sit on Travis Scott features That was that's what I'm saying. That was the challenge behind it I really just well first it was a off the floor was something that the fans wanted one song and the other three songs Were really just something that I feel like the album really needed Travis for sure I wanted him on my album regardless he's been on all my albums and T-Zone

Touchdown is from Texas I'm from Texas as well and I always like to highlight you know any artist coming out of Texas doing whatever they possibly doing you know and I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to let him go up on the album as well. How would you define yourself as an artist? Because I listen, I'm like, well, is he R&B? Is he rap? I would just say it's R&B, so just a little twist of what I got going on. I do heavy into the R&B and the melodics of things a lot, but I definitely just like to get off some bars here and there too. I don't like to, I feel like if I can do it, why not do it? A lot of people are still expecting you to drop Rolling Stone or the joint with Baby Keem. Yeah.

Is that coming? It's so crazy. It's like, what joint with Baby Keem are you guys talking about? I haven't snipped any song with Baby Keem, but Rolling Stone, I know all about that for sure. Is marriage something that you have in mind or like on your... Yes. Yeah? I would love it.

Damn, you said that fast. I love that. When you know, you know your yes yeah i would love it you said that fast i love that when you know you know though brother yeah you're right so don't play with it like you know i'm saying when you know she the one don't play with it man don't play with it i'm here you have a you have a you know what your proposal may look like because that's very important when you got money you got to make sure that the proposal is something that they never ever forget like it's a story that you can tell the people in the future that's just fly i feel like whatever i do it just has to be organic i can't really do too too much my girl she just kind of wanted to be heartfelt whatever it is gotta be organic it don't matter if we in a park having a picnic you know it just kind of gotta

feel organic did you see a lot of healthy relationships growing up yeah i did my mom my dad they separated when i got a little older but like they would have their ups and downs she would be mad at him or whatever but at the end of the day they still kept it like this is my mom this is my dad and then dad never like kind of left the playing field and i respect that and my grandma and my grandfather they still been together they've been together for they've been married for like 50 something years i love that. You gonna make a lot of money, brother.

A lot. The reason you gonna make a lot of money is because, you know, like, when you have that partner, like, that you devote all your time and all your energy to and you ain't out here doing all the extracurricular. Watch what happens in your life. You commit to that one situation. It gives you stability that other people don't have. 100%. I believe that. All right, we got more with Don Tolliver.

When we come back, Don Tolliver, Charlamagne, Nihilist, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club tonight. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

Yeah? I feel like, honestly, it's just one of those things where it's like i want to have something that the fans can always relate to on my album and right now i don't see why i wouldn't want to come with a four or five or six just depending on where i'm at in my life hopefully i'm in a good place to continue to want the company if not you know i'm good how did you pick your features i like the range of features you go from glow realtor to justin bieber to whiz kid to charlie wilson like how do you decide who you want to collaborate with no that's kind of like it's kind of like a wide variety of like the industry and it's kind of like all my favorites from like all those little pockets i love toro

i love james i'm a fan of glow i'm a fan of Dirk futures inspired me my whole life Travis you already know about that T's or touchdowns a legend Tisa Korea is another Houston a legend all these pockets of artists I really just respect them respect their craft. Just happy to have them on my album I'm saying and be able to like collaborate them cap collaborate with those guys I always wonder how you and Travis, growing up for us, Houston always had a specific sound. You know what I mean? Like you knew what Houston sounded like, but you and Travis kind of like broke that mold.

Was that intentional? I say in my heart it was intentional. Travis, when I seen Travis, Travis gave me the hope when I was doing like all my little underground stuff back home because he was the unicorn in Houston that was like doing something abstract and I felt like I was doing the same but I didn't have when I was really like that's what really just put me on in the city and had people looking at me different because I was doing something different yeah we are known for the traditional you know Houston rap um but at the same time there's a lot of great creatives out

there that do a lot of different things you know and uh i was able to kind of cut through because it was different and that would help me and i think people in the city kind of just need to realize that you know a lot of people are doing a lot of different things don't let me take away but staying different is always the goal. And only after a week, they already knew all the words, like dancing. It was a great reaction. But my favorite record on there is absolutely, well, it kind of changed between Lead the Club to now the Brent Fias joint. But what's your favorite record?

If I had. Why? With Charlie Wilson. It was just a legendary moment. I love Charlie. I think Charlie is amazing. And he's just like a dope guy. Justin Bieber, who wrote this verse, man? I know he ain't write about no damn double cups.

Yo, you know, me and Justin, we was just in the studio, dude. We was in L.A. in the studio. Dude was in there with a red roller blazer on the mic. We back and forth like, we just like on the mic. And I'm just wondering, because he had red roller blazer on the mic. We back and forth, like, just, like, on the mic. And I'm just wondering, because he had a lot going on at the moment. And it was a certain couple things I really wanted him to touch bases on, especially, like, when, you know, he come back to the city, Houston.

Like, so, but Justin was really going crazy, though. I'm not going to hold you. He was feeling the vibe. I had him just in his mode. Mm-hmm. So. Did he record that before future or he could record it that before future you got the lovesick uh short film on amazon prime too yes

sir why did you know this needed a film or visual to go with it like this um honestly i wanted i was just tired of one i wanted to like i said i wanted to shoot i want to shoot a movie for my album and uh two i was just kind of tired of doing a traditional video type thing. I love music videos, but I wanted to give my fans like another visual aspect of how I felt the music should be like, you know, play through. Aesthetically, it's given like 70s. Like what was the late 70s? The whole the whole inspiration came from studio 54 and like disco culture um i kind of like started there and it turned into like everything else

the cocaine was way purer back then man all right how you know i heard about it i'm not that old you're going on tour future right uh well one big party tour one big party tour march starts march 9th so what you gonna do i'm gonna go crazy how you gonna keep in touch with family you're gonna bring somebody on the road with you or um see this tour is uh this tour is like weekends it's like kind of spotty it's not like every day so um i'd definitely be able to bring my family i'll pull up but it it's not nothing too, too, too crazy. All right. Well, you know, listen, Nala got a segment on this show called Pass the Aux,

where she plays new music every Friday morning. Yes. So what y'all want to get into off the new Lovesick album? Play Embarrassed. Let's go with Embarrassed Red. Why you feel that energy this morning? Why? I haven't stopped listening to it since it dropped.

Where did y'all record that? in there let's get into it here's embarrassed don toliver travis scott the breakfast club where did y'all record that because i know you guys be all over the all over the world recording together i recorded that i feel like in la yeah what was it like in that studio session how'd y'all come up with it i was like this is one of those moments where i just love wheezy's beat wheezy did that beat and i don't know, when I hear Weezy beat, it just kind of puts me in a certain mode. That particular 808 and snares kind of puts me in a mode with those.

And it just kind of happened. One of those things that just happened, super organic, kind of came out. So when that Don Toliver, Travis Scott, Best of Both Worlds album dropping, I know y'all got a collaboration project dropping. I hope sooner than later. Oh, so it's Worlds album dropping.

But right now, we just got records and whatever. We're just trying to get off our own shit right now, get it going. Who's pushing for it more, you, Travis, or Sycamore? Probably me. Okay. All right. Well, thank you, Don. Nyla, what else we got on Pass the Ox this week?

You know, Nadra has a new book out called Drama Free, a guide to managing unhealthy family relationships. And we had a great conversation, not only on The Breakfast Club this week, but at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York. It was a sold out event. People came out to see Nadra because they love Nadra.
