Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, we try, but we can't. That's why moms are moms.
Starting point is 00:05:47 No, we can. Because if we could, if we can do it for one day, we can do it for every day. But we don't really do it. Well, we don't really do it good for that one day. I mean, what is there to do? All she wants is a little break. Yeah. Like little things.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Like get a kid to bath. Yeah. You can do that. But my problem is the hair. Like, I can't get the hair down. I can't. You're not doing hair every day. No, but that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:06:07 There's certain things you can't do every day. But nobody's doing hair every day. I don't think. No. But there's some dads out there that's doing their baby girl's hair every day. Just not me. I can't figure it out. I get the little hair net thingy majiggy stuck in the head and they start screaming that
Starting point is 00:06:23 their hair hurts and call mommy. No. All I'm simply saying is there's way to ease the burden of motherhood from our significant others every day if we choose to. That's all I'm saying. It feels weird to choose one day to do it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Well, salute to all the moms out there. That's right. And let's get the show cracking. We got front page news coming up. Trump, he had a huge rally out in Jersey.

More protests at these colleges. So don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:50 We'll break it all down. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with sports.
Starting point is 00:07:01 The Mavericks beat the Thunder 105-101. They lead the Series 2-1. Celtics beat the Cavaliers. They lead the Series 2-1. The Nugicks beat the Thunder 105-101. They lead the series 2-1. Celtics beat the Cavaliers. They lead the series 2-1. The Nuggets beat the Timberwolves. The series is tied 2-2. And the Knicks got demolished, destroyed, whatever you want to call it. 121-89.
Starting point is 00:07:16 The series is tied 2-2. They'll play this Tuesday. An NBA draft lottery. Just to let you know, the Hawks got the number one pick. Number two were the Wizards. Number three was Houston. Number four was the Spurs. And number five was the Pistons.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And I don't know a damn person that's going in the draft. Ain't that a shame? They got another tall kid from France. He's like 7'4". He should be tall. He's a Boston basketball player. Like 7'4". Like he's exceptionally tall.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Like I was just saying, I knew mad players that was going in the WNBA. I don't know nobody that's going in the NBA. Don't try to google no i'm not googling oh i'm at the next story now we got to talk about uh donald trump now donald trump uh he's back in court today his ex-lawyer michael cohen will be taking the stand and people are saying that they those two really hate each other and they should be going back and forth back and forth it should be nasty but entertaining also over the weekend trump uh was speaking at wildwood new jersey and uh he had nearly 100 000 people there for him to hear him speak president trump certainly maximized his limited time on the campaign trail hosting what his campaign says was his largest rally of the year supporters of former president Trump let their Trump flag
Starting point is 00:08:26 fly. The former president and presumptive Republican nominee commanded the attention of thousands during a campaign rally on the beach in Wildwood. Instead of a Biden tax hike, I'll give you a Trump middle class, upper class, lower class, business class, big tax cut. Trump addressed everything from President Biden's handling of the border, protests on college campuses, and the economy. The former president even mentioned his ongoing legal troubles, once again blaming President Biden and the Justice Department without evidence. They rigged the whole thing with the Department of Justice.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Trump supporters who were in attendance today say they liked what they heard, many shrugging off the possibility of Trump going to prison and instead focusing on issues they say matter most, such as the economy. We need to have some stability. We need our interest rates back down. And securing the border. We don't know who's being led in our country now. I mean, no surprise there, 70 plus million people voted for him in 2020. He won the election and securing the border. We don't know who's being led in our country now. I mean, no surprise there. 70 plus million people voted for him in 2020.
Starting point is 00:09:30 He won the election in 2016. You don't think he got supporters and you're an idiot who believes everything you see in the news. He definitely has supporters. They were waiting out there days before to get as close as possible as they could to Donald Trump. And I mean, a lot of them already stink. So it don't even matter that they was out there for days with no shower. You stupid. Yes. Now, also, Jerry Seinfeld, he was at Duke University giving a commencement speech and students protested and they started to walk out and they booed him.
Starting point is 00:09:55 A big day for thousands of Duke University's class of 24. The university hosted its commencement ceremony this morning at Wallace Wade Stadium, but there were some tensions. You can hear some booing there and see some students walking out, dozens of students walked out while others shouted, free Palestine, to protest the introduction of the commencement speaker Jerry Seinfeld, who supported Israel throughout the war in Gaza. Despite the protest, the actor and comedian addressed graduates using some humor. I am here today at the gracious invitation of President Price and the Duke Board of Trustees because after spending four years at what is considered one of the finest institutions of higher education in the world, they apparently feel that perhaps some light entertainment will get you all to the final realization,
Starting point is 00:10:44 you know, I think i've really had enough of this place so they booed him because he's jewish and he's pro-israel yes that is so stupid yes okay let people believe what they want to believe let people have their opinions even if you disagree right well the demonstrations and students walking out didn't stop. It happened at a bunch of universities around the country this weekend. Graduates at Virginia Commonwealth University. After weeks of protests of the war in Gaza on college campuses across the country, a handful of graduations have been disrupted as well. On Saturday, a group of graduates at Virginia Commonwealth University walked out as Governor Glenn Youngkin took the stage for the keynote address.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Pro-Palestinian chants broke out during several commencement ceremonies at UC Berkeley. And Pomona College's graduation celebration had to be moved off campus today after pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment on the ceremony stage. So that was some of the demonstrations going on this weekend and how howard university the other hu uh they had some problems at their nursing graduation what was that about i saw that they said the uh venue reached capacity and people were there to see their children to see their family members and they didn't let people in so they started knocking down the door to get in so they canceled it and then a couple of hours later uh they had a special ceremony after the uh cancellation since when can uh howard university not hold a lot of people coming to graduation when more people came than usual this year well there's usually two graduations there's depending on where you
Starting point is 00:12:18 graduate if it's business if it's nursing or if it's whatever it may be so they have a special graduation there where they actually say your name when you walk across the stage and then they have the big graduation for the whole thing. So I guess this was the smaller one. Maybe it's more nursing students. That's why they usually say, you know, only two tickets
Starting point is 00:12:33 or only three tickets. But, you know, when your boo-boo's graduating, when your son is graduating, when a lot of times when the only person in your family is, you know, getting their diploma, you want to pull up.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yeah, I feel like when you're getting married and you invite just a certain number of people to the wedding, but you invite more people to up. Yeah, I feel like when you're getting married and you invite just a certain number of people to the wedding, but you invite more people to the reception, but I feel like all the people that was going to the reception tried to come to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:12:51 That's right. That's right. You can't get in. Yeah, but black people are going to get in. They're going to kick down the door. They're going to attempt to get in.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They didn't get in bed, but they canceled it out. Don't say black people. Okay, last time I saw a bunch of people trying to get into some place was January 6, 2021 on the Capitol. I was talking graduations.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I'm just saying. I was talking graduations. Black people ain't the only people bum-rushing the door. Because we like to see our own graduate. If our own work hard, we want to say their name. We want to shout their name like we should. Everybody likes to see each other graduate. You know how much money people spend in college tuition?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Because today I got two tickets, but I got nine family members going. So it is what it is. And that is front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:16:51 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hello?
Starting point is 00:17:09 My name's Jeremy, man. Hey, Jeremy. Good morning. Good morning. So, this is for, either one can answer this, but it's more for Charlamagne. I'm a teacher, and I work in the inner school city. And my issue is, is because since you are a man of culture, especially a representative for the black community, my thing is, since I'm also a minority myself, I'm Hispanic, I'm Puerto Rican, Dominican. I'm trying to help out, especially improve a positive environment in the school.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And I notice, especially in the black culture, that the kids are really, really just not involved and they don't really care so much about what's going on. So I want to know, what can I do as a male teacher, a minority male teacher, to improve and try to better a student's lifestyle? Or what can I do to give them advice for that? Well, you should do surveys and ask them what they're actually into because I think a lot of times what happens is, you know, teachers and, you know, just authority figures, we like to push things on kids,
Starting point is 00:18:21 and then we wonder why they're not into it. They're just not into what we're pushing on to them but ask them what it is that they're into and feed them more of that okay yeah i mean i got the i got the best job in the world i'm a phys ed teacher and for a kid to not like phys ed it's like what what is going on you know so well it depends what period phys ed is because see a lot of times if you get PE first period, you know, now you work up a sweat and you got to walk around musty all day. There ain't really no place to shower.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I can understand that. You laughing, but it's true. I think about that struggle all the time. Coming up when I was in school, I was so happy that I had PE last period because you can get musty and then you go home. Or if kids are overweight and they don't want to take those tests or they don't want to run with other kids, you can get muscular and then you go home. Or if kids are overweight and they don't want to take those tests
Starting point is 00:19:06 or they don't want to run with other kids, you can see that as well. Oh, man. Man, oh, man. Oh, man. I was just like, well, all right.
Starting point is 00:19:14 A survey is best for the kids. Yeah, do a survey, man. Ask the kids what they into. Ask them what they like. Don't just assume and push things on them.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Ask them what they're into. Yeah, got you, got you. They all like basketball and football, so, you know. Well, you got to figure out some curriculum around basketball and football. Have a good one, Jim. It's a bad time when the phys ed teacher is having a hard time because Jim was the class that everybody wanted to go to because it was easy. No, no, I hear that struggle all the time.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Like, my daughter had, I think, PE, like, first period last year, and that was her thing. But even growing up in school, I used to think about that. You put PE first period for these kids, and they got to walk around sweaty and stink all day. That's not comfortable. It's just common sense. My daughter got last class. At least if you're going to do that, give these kids the opportunity,
Starting point is 00:20:03 especially the ones that have A first second period Things like that Give them time To be able to wash up Before they go back Into the school Common sense Get it off your chest
Starting point is 00:20:12 800-585-1051 If you need to vent You can hit us up Now when we come back We got Jess with the mess And it seems like Even though Jess isn't here Yeah Jess is not here
Starting point is 00:20:20 Seems like the Drake And Kendrick beef Is coming to an end Oh it's over And we're going to wrap it up We knew that already Yeah we're going to wrap it up today Alright and we'll get to that next It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Jess is not here. Seems like the Drake and Kendrick beef is coming to an end. Oh, it's over. And we're going to wrap it up today. We knew that already. Yeah, we're going to wrap it up today. All right?
Starting point is 00:20:28 And we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out today.
Starting point is 00:20:40 But let's get to Jess with the mess. We're going to hold it back. The news is real. The news is real. Jess Hilarious. Jess the Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess is going to bring numbers. just with the mess we're gonna hold on just somewhere like i don't got nothing to do with these rumors okay i don't know what y'all about to talk about well let's talk about drake now seems like drake security had to stop a third intruder from trespassing at his Toronto house. Now, this happened Saturday at 3.30 p.m.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Police were called because Drake's security had to take down another trespasser. So this is number three, which is crazy. I would think that this would happen all the time, though. He's one of the biggest superstars in the world. And his house is literally, you know, public knowledge. It's public knowledge where his house is in Toronto. I'm sure people come by there all the time. Well, the police say the man refused to leave the property when he was asked,
Starting point is 00:21:31 so they escorted him off the property. And then they gave him a ticket and kept him moving. So that's all that happened. They're being too nice to these people. Like, when you really make an example out of one of them, then others will be more leery about pulling up. You got to really make an example out of one. them, then others will be more leery about pulling up. We got to really make an example out of one. Break a leg or something.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Break a leg or something. Break a arm. You know, something. Well, because of all the activity at Drake's house during the last week or so, it seems like helicopters have been flying over Drake's house. So Drake tagged him on Instagram. Can we discuss the chopper flight times over the house? Because I won't lie. I'm trying to sleep anytime after 3 p.m. works, works great for me.
Starting point is 00:22:07 What do they call them in Toronto? Because, you know, in California, they call them ghetto birds. Right. What do they call them in Toronto? I don't know. Like with ratchet raptors or something? Like, you don't like those ratchet raptors flying over this? He probably says wretched.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Those wretched raptors flying over my house? I don't know. Well, Glasses Malone said, well, here's the reason why you're not hip-hop. You know how many nights we had to sleep with helicopters flying over my house i don't know what glasses malone said well here's the reason why you're not hip-hop you know how many nights we had to sleep with helicopters flying over our crib you're not hip-hop yeah glasses you won't have to explain that one on uh the no ceilings part hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series the running interview show where i run with celebrities athletes athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all
Starting point is 00:22:52 about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

Starting point is 00:27:09 And we're Mess. Well, not a mess, but on our podcast called Mess, we celebrate all things messy. But the gag is, not everything is a mess. Sometimes it's just living. Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girls' trip to Miami. Mess. Oh, things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girls trip to Miami. Mess.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Ozempic. Messy, skinny living. Restaurant stealing a birthday cake. Mess. Wait, what flavor was the cake though? Okay, that's a good question. Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion. Living. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. It's kind of a promotion living breaking up with your girlfriend while on instagram live living
Starting point is 00:27:45 it's kind of mess yeah well you get it got it live love mess listen to mess with sydney washington and marie faustin on iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast i guess because people will be like that what does hip-hop have to do with that correct so you have to explain that one correct now let's talk about this beef a little bit they asked stevie wonder about the drake and kendrick lamar beef and stevie wonder had this to say about the beef any kind of war is bad for the world I have no bad feelings I just think that the world needs to focus on what's going on because those things are just distractions that's right that's right real real war is not not that's right sir that's right
Starting point is 00:28:35 that's right no can't you see can't you see neither can you but listen it's not a war stevie it's just a rap feud correct and i do agree with stevie that there's a lot more important things going on in the world but why do we act like human beings can't multitask like why do we act like human beings can't care about the important things in the world but then still you know uh want to hear kendrick's latest diss to drake or drake's to Kendrick. Well, 21 Savage hopped on Instagram Live. He was listening to reggae music. And I guess people in the comments were asking him questions.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And he said, look, Metro's my brother. Drake's my brother. They got to figure it out. Don't come out on my mother's live. Come out on my mother's live. Metro, my brother. And Drake, my brother. pretty much he's staying out of it they're gonna have to figure it out eventually they're both my brothers it is what it is i'm sure they will one day all right i don't think kendrick and drake ever will but i'm sure that uh metro and drake might yes well it looks like like we said it
Starting point is 00:29:43 looks like the battle is over. Top from TDE said, the battle is over. A win for the culture while keeping it all on wax, especially when these publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That's a victory within itself.
Starting point is 00:29:55 On another note, it's time to wrap up this TDE 20-year anniversary compilation. Drake posted something like that too. Yep. Now, Drake posted over the weekend. He says, good times,
Starting point is 00:30:04 summer vibes up next. So it looks like the beef is over. I haven't heard any more records. So it's a wrap. Well, it is over. I mean, the beauty of these rap feuds is we knew it was over when Drake dropped the hard part six. It didn't have to be over. If Drake just responds with his own diss bop, like a hit record that would be playing on radio and in the clubs,
Starting point is 00:30:22 we'd be debating right now who got the best bop out of Not, out of Not Like Us and whatever, you know, Drake put out. But Drake didn't go that route. That's right. Yeah. And that. You know what I was thinking? I was thinking about what's going to be the aftermath of all of this. Because it feels like Drake and Kendrick, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:36 both dropped nukes on each other. Right. And it just seems like people believe what they want to believe based on who they like. If you like Kendrick, then you run around saying things like drake is a pedophile which is ridiculous and if you like drake you believed you believe kendrick beats his girl which is also ridiculous to me all that is whack to me and when the dust settles like i feel like that is the aftermath of this situation like they both nuked each other yeah but the biggest problem i don't i wouldn't well maybe not a problem is even though the rap battle is is done kendrick still has one of the hardest records in the club so it's not really
Starting point is 00:31:14 done because every time you go to a club you're gonna hear well that's the point a minor so it's it's it's one of those ones that's gonna keep living and keep living and keep living you know that's the point but when like i said when the dust settles what is the aftermath for this i have that they have they done damage to their repute reputation that's irreversible will people always have those uh yes those thoughts in the back of their head they always see these individuals would that affect either one of them in the future when it comes to you know bigger things that they want to do outside of music it could possibly because now they're looking to a lot of the things and and people will be talking you know people talk just for clicks and likes so sometimes when people are
Starting point is 00:31:51 talking it doesn't even make sense or is it true but as long as the clicks are there people will follow people will follow and lastly i just want to throw this in there since because i'm tired of this too soldier boy jumps into it and this is Metro Boomin. And this is because of a tweet from 2012. Now on the tweet, Metro Boomin says, My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours ring to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit your ass down.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I guess Soulja Boy just seen this now. Like I said, that tweet went up in 2012. I guess Soulja Boy just seen it now. And I said, that tweet went up in 2012. I guess Soulja Boy just seen it now. And Soulja Boy now wants to fight 21 Savage and Metro. Are you talking to me? What you mean? I don't care, bro. Listen, to be honest with you, I'm not even mad at Soulja Boy for feeling like that.
Starting point is 00:32:40 You know? Because Soulja Boy just getting wind of it now. But that was 12 years ago sure but Soulja Boy is a person who he probably feels like people have always
Starting point is 00:32:49 been hating on him and he probably always just keeps the list he probably just got a list of people he ain't ever rocking with and he just wants to
Starting point is 00:32:57 constantly remind y'all hey you had smoke with me back then keep that same energy and I'm sure these people like I am keeping that same energy
Starting point is 00:33:04 because I'm not even thinking about you now bro we have audio i will beat the f**k out you 21 you's a b**** and you want to take it to the streets i will smoke you when it was in the streets you ain't even from at all. All right. Take off another sad n**** from Britain. You talking to me crazy? You lying as f***? All right. I think Soulja Boy Ranch
Starting point is 00:33:31 are like part of culture. What do you mean? They're like eclipses almost. Like you know you're going to get one every so often. And we just got to sit back, put our glasses on, and appreciate it
Starting point is 00:33:41 for what it is. But I don't think people care. Like it's almost, it's so entertaining. No, no, no. We like Soulja Boy rants. No, no. When I say the people that he's saying them against, they never respond.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Yeah, it's not going to be nothing. No matter what Soulja Boy's calling for, if he can call for violence, he can say he's going to do this and that to a person, we know that's not going to ever happen. Yeah. You know? So we just sit back and we enjoy Soulja Boy rants the way we enjoy Eclipses. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Well, that is Jess with the mess. Well, Envy with Jess's mess. All right. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about Steve Buscemi. You know who that is, right? Actor. Seen him in a lot of things. Well, he got punched in the face in New York City. So, we'll tell you about what happened. I had to hit both sides. He was just walking
Starting point is 00:34:16 down the street. That's why I want to hit both sides. I'm waiting for the story. Oh, my God. We'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with sports. The Mavericks beat the Thunder 105-101.

They tied the Series 2-2, and the Pacers demolished my Knicks 121-89. The Series is tied 2-2. Now, NBA demolished my Knicks. 121-89. The series is tied 2-2. Now NBA
Starting point is 00:34:48 Draft Lottery picks. Atlanta gets number one. The Wizards get number two. The Rockets get number three. The Spurs get number four and the Pistons get number five. I don't know one person that is supposed to be getting drafted in the NBA Draft. Me neither. When the WNBA Draft was
Starting point is 00:35:04 happening, I knew so many players. I don't know anybody. Well, Kaitlyn Clark and her squad will play this Tuesday, and they're saying that last year they averaged like 3,000 people in attendance per game, and now this year they're looking like
Starting point is 00:35:16 they're selling over 10,000 tickets a game. So it's pretty good for the sport, right? WNBA and Toronto is actually getting an expansion team for the WNBA. So we'll see that in the next two years. Absolutely. And salute to South Carolina's own Asia Wilson as well, man. Asia Wilson, they announced over the weekend that she'll be getting her own signature shoe.
Starting point is 00:35:36 That's right. With Nike. Very, very well deserved. That's in 2026, right? By 2025. 2025. The best player in any league should have their own shoe. So she's absolutely, positively the best player in the WNBA.
Starting point is 00:35:50 So now she'll have her own signature shoe. That's right. Now, also, we talk about New York City and how dangerous New York City could be. You know who Steve Buscemi is, right? The actor. Yeah, actor from Boardwalk Empire, also Fargo. He was punched in the face over the weekend, and this is what happened. Actor Steve Buscemi is recovering after an unprovoked assault in Kips Bay.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Police say the 66-year-old Brooklyn native was walking at 27th Street and 3rd Avenue Wednesday afternoon when he was randomly punched. Buscemi was taken to a hospital for bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye. The actor's publicist says he is okay and appreciates everyone's well wishes. His attacker has not yet been caught. Buscemi, they see, you know, some role that he played that they didn't like. Nah. And they might have swung on. Nah, it was probably, New York is getting crazy. Over the weekend, they said that this guy on crutches, a tourist
Starting point is 00:36:52 was walking down the street and she just got stabbed in the chest, just randomly. With the crutches? The guy with the crutches just stabbed the tourist just randomly in the chest. What, with a knife, a weapon? With a knife, yeah. Oh, wow. So they're saying New York is getting very, very bad. I know the mayor keeps saying
Starting point is 00:37:07 things are cleaning up and it looks a lot better, but not at all. Now, you were just talking about this behind the scene. Ozempic butt. I was not talking about no damn Ozempic butt.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Yes, you were. Now, 15 million U.S. adults are taking Ozempic or similar drugs to lose the weight, and now there's this new thing called Ozempic butt. Now, what Ozempic butt is is when you the weight and now there's this new thing called ozempic butt now what ozempic butt is is when you take these shots you lose so much weight you lose your ass
Starting point is 00:37:30 and it's a real thing and we're not just making it up it's called ozempic butt and they're saying your butt looks like spongebob squarepants and it's very flat and people are having problems and they're getting depressed off of the ozempic butt well you have to know that ozempic is going to have side effects so it may may make you lose that excess weight, but it's going to make you lose some other things too. And when it makes you lose weight, it's going to make you lose weight probably in places where you want a little bit of weight, like your ass. So it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You got to ask yourself what you want. Yeah. You want a flat stomach or a flat ass? Well, people want the flat stomach, but you lose the ass with it. Well, I don't think that's a fair trade. I don't mind a little gut with some butt. I don't mind a little gut with some butt. You don't mind a little gut with some butt. And I bet you the women feel that way, too.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I bet you women are looking in the mirror like, I'll keep a little gut, you know, just to have my little butt. Because when you lose that butt, and now you're more gut than butt, you look stupid. But if it's 70 pounds, it's not just a little gut. It's a lot of gut. Well, if you lose your gut and your butt, you look sick. Okay? So you got to think about this people my goodness and lastly southwest airlines is looking into a video of a woman uh sleeping inside of an overhead bin they got no cameras on the flight ain't nobody gonna make me believe southwest airlines got cameras on the flight they said on a southwest airlines flight they were in for a surprise when they opened up the luggage
Starting point is 00:38:44 compartment and the lady was up there sleeping. Southwest Airlines ain't nothing but a bus in the sky. They don't got no damn cameras on Southwest. I saw that video, too. That was Southwest? Yes, that was Southwest. That plane looked too nice to be Southwest, man. You sure that was Southwest?
Starting point is 00:38:55 Yes. You sure it wasn't another airline operating? No, but the funny thing is they said at first there was about 15 or 20 passengers that just walked by her unfazed. It was like she was just there sleeping. Because it's Southwest. I just told y'all, it's like a bus in the sky. There's certain things you're used to seeing on the bus, and it's the same way on Southwest. You see somebody sleeping in the overhead bin on Southwest, you don't think nothing of it.
Starting point is 00:39:14 But nobody complained. Nobody went and got the flight attendant. Nobody said nothing. The plane was about to take off, and then I guess a flight attendant heard it, and they opened it and see her sleeping. They said, oh my goodness, we got to stop. gotta stop we can't go southwest in spirit you expect to see things like that you don't even phase you but nobody complained nobody said hey it's southwest there's a lady sleeping in the overhead compartment do i have to say it again okay all right it's northwest cousin southwest okay and it's the cousin that none of the west
Starting point is 00:39:44 family claims all All right. Well. And you know how crazy you got to be to not claim you as a West? Yeah. All right. Well, that is your front page news. I'll claim Kanye before I claim Southwest. I'll claim Kanye West before I claim Southwest.
Starting point is 00:39:55 You hear me? Jesus. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. I actually seen this on Hollywood Unlocked. And they were asking, what are you starting to dislike more as you get older? That is the question.

I ain't coming out. I really don't like you. I don't like you at all.. Me, it's definitely people. I ain't got no tolerance for people. I'm calling people. I ain't even going to fake it. I ain't coming out.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I really don't like you. I don't like you at all. I can't even help it. That's what it is. So that is the question. Again, 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. As you get older, what are you just not effing with no more?
Starting point is 00:40:36 Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:40:59 We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out. Now, we're asking this. I've seen this on Hollywood Unlocked. 800-585-1051. What are you starting to dislike more as you get older? That is the question. Again, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:41:15 What are you starting to dislike more as you get older? Well, salute to Hollywood Unlocked, my guy Jason Lee. Let me read some of the comments before you get into yours. Okay. Somebody said, plastic surgery lips. Somebody said, loud, unnecessary noises. That seems like the biggest ones. Loud, loud people, noise. Somebody said the general public. Somebody said people. Somebody said humans.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Somebody said being out too late. Now, being out too late is one now. I've been off. It gets to a certain time and I just start getting tired. I don't even know that being out too late. I've been off that. Like, I like things that start early and end early. Like, if I can be there at 7.30, you know, like my guy Stephen Colbert, he had a birthday party for him this weekend and it started at 7.30.
Starting point is 00:41:53 10 o'clock, 10.30, I was out. You know what I'm saying? We home by 11, 11.15. We watched a movie Saturday night. That was a great Saturday night. That's what I'm talking about. That's my type of night. My thing is, man,
Starting point is 00:42:04 alcohol and humans, right? Like, I used to have a very high tolerance for alcohol we used to get so drunk but over the years you know that has just gone away to the point like when i'm out now i could do a glass of wine and be good if i do if i do two regular drinks of tequila i'm just talking about neat tequila with two ice cubes and a slice of orange juice. Two drinks, the recovery time is too much. Yeah. I can't just get up the next day and function. Like, it takes me 24 to 36 hours to recover from that.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Yeah. For me, it's, I say, social media. I've been all day. Yeah. As I get older now, I don't even tap into it. Two, I say, going out. I used as I get older now, I don't even tap into it. Two, I say going out. I used to be the go-out king. I'm out every night.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Now, what? If I'm home, I want to stay home. If somebody calls me to have to leave my house, it's a bunch of questions. Oh, absolutely. It's a bunch of questions. And when I say humans, man, what I mean by humans,
Starting point is 00:43:01 when I say I'm tired of humans, I am tired of proving yourself as a friend. So, for example, you can have friends that you've been friends with for years, but you know your friends, right? And you know that, you know, they get upset over small things in life. It comes a certain point after a while, we are too old for that so if you don't know who i am by now and you constantly get upset over little small things or because you feel slighted or because you didn't get what you want from me that's the other thing that people don't realize it's not really your friend is if the first time they don't get what they want from you you know they get upset i don't have time for those kind
Starting point is 00:43:40 of relationships at all relationships that you got to walk on eggshells with? None whatsoever. Somebody said bills in the comments. Oh, we ain't never like those. But guess what? That's part of adulting. You ain't got no choice. You ain't got no choice for that.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Somebody said nicks as they get older they're tired of nicks. Well, that's the same thing as humans. It's not the same thing. It's the same thing. And one other person
Starting point is 00:44:01 said traffic. Nothing you can do about none of that. But traffic now, when you start getting a little older, you start planning to avoid traffic. You'd be like, all right, if I leave the city at this time, I ain't got traffic. If I come into the city at this time, I ain't got traffic. So it's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:44:17 But let's go to the phone lines, 800-585-1051. We got Tanya on the line. Tanya, good morning. Good morning. How you feeling, Tanya? I'm good. How are you? Good. Now, what are you starting to dislike more as you get older?
Starting point is 00:44:26 People that don't take the shower. Okay? You come to work mad. You go to school mad. Just take the shower. When did you ever like that, though? That's what Paul's talking about. He took a shower at night and he happy.
Starting point is 00:44:39 He's not happy. Yeah, you got to take a shower in the morning, man. Watch that night off. He's a grown man talking about he feel good. You can't feel good. No, watch that night off, man. The same way you gotta watch that day off, you gotta watch that night off when you wake up in the

Well, it was a couple of thousand people, sir. So what do you mean it wasn't a lot of people? No. It wasn't wall to wall.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Yeah, it was comfortable. It was comfortable. And then we got out of there at a good time, bro. We got out of there at a good time to get something to eat and get to bed. Let me tell you something. They told me while we were sitting backstage, they was like, you know, the run time is till 8 o'clock. I'm like, ain't no way. Ain't no
Starting point is 00:45:42 way. Ain't no way the run time gonna be till no 8 o'clock. That's why we got about there like 6 ain't no way. Ain't no way. Ain't no way the runtime going to be until 8 o'clock. That's why we got about there like 6, 3 to 7. But it's funny that you say that. That's why when I do my car shows at 12 to 5. 5 o'clock. Early, man. 5 o'clock, we start unloading them cars.
Starting point is 00:45:55 People got things to do, man. Nobody want to be out that late, man. You're absolutely right. 800-585-1051. We're asking, what are you starting to dislike more as you get older? I've seen this topic on Hollywood on Lock, salute to them. And that's what we're asking. 800-585-1051.

Somebody said they hate driving. But the biggest one seems like noise and people. Yeah, my biggest one is people. People and alcohol. I don't have a high tolerance for either. And going out. But I've been off that.

Starting point is 00:50:06 learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

The worst type of people are the people who claim that they've done work on themselves, but their actions show they haven't. And they're always projecting their BS on the others. And I hate the victim-blaming people. People who can never, ever look in the mirror and find any fault of their own. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:39 They just constantly, it's constantly somebody else's fault. Can't stand those kind of people. I ain't got no tolerance for it. Stay away from me. Yeah, me, it's going out late. I don't like going out late. And I will say, you know what's starting to bother me more and more and more? People who fly, right? When you get to that
Starting point is 00:53:54 counter, you should have your stuff ready. Like, we've done this before. Oh, I gotta find my license. Now I gotta wait for you to find your license. Or you got water bottle in your bag. Or you got something in, like, you people at the pre-check line. Sometimes that pisses me off. I ain't go front.

Starting point is 00:54:19 I am not a biscuit. Do not say Grand Rising to me, ma'am. Yeah. Yeah, Grand Rising.

Starting point is 00:54:46 older yeah i mean it is what it is but what irritates me the most is people oh my god you could be having the best conversation with somebody let me let me just give you a prime example yesterday mother's day happy mother's day to all the mothers in the world. Everywhere. It was a beautiful day in Detroit, Michigan. The sun was shining and everything. Went to the Peach Cobbler Factory on Washington. I'm sorry. Broadway. Just opened up.
Starting point is 00:55:16 We ended up having a conversation with the mother. Just said how lovely the weather is going to be. And hopefully it don't, you know, because our seasons come as they go whenever they want. It can be raining one day, snowing another day, and sunny the next day. Okay. This lady, we don't even know where this conversation came from.
Starting point is 00:55:36 She started talking about some vegetables that she cooked for Mother's Day. And we ain't talking about no vegetables. We talking about the weather. Okay. Well, thank you, Mama.. We talking about the weather. Okay. Well, thank you, Mama. You know another thing? Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Long conversations. Like, she didn't have to say that. She just said she just didn't like people, and I was fine with that. But then when she started breaking down, she was on Washington, and the lady had a conversation. She lost me. She lost me. I tuned out. Just want to tell her that.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Hello, who's this? Good morning. I'm Samantha. Hey, Samantha. What are you starting to dislike more as you get older? As I get older, I'm starting to dislike all my childhood favorites. Little Debbie Snacks, Hawaiian Punch, hot dogs. You can't pay me to eat a can of chili. Well, you should.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Eating them things is killing us. I swear. It either tastes like syrup or salt. Everything. And you know, that is so funny you say that, because you can taste all the processed whatever in those things when you bite into them now. I had to have a Hawaiian punch a few days ago. I just had to have a taste. I think that thing burnt my throat.
Starting point is 00:56:35 So what is this? Little Debbie though, man. God bless Little Debbie. Remember when oatmeal cream pies were 99 cents? A dollar four plus. And now we know why. Because it's all like hydrogenated oil and i can feel it on my tongue damn i think the danger your mouth is untrained you don't know any better the ingredients might be different now too though i'm sure they want to see it back i said what i said
Starting point is 00:56:58 back then back then everything just seemed more pure, man. It was. We didn't have as much technology. Technology has made a way for them to create food that we did not have then. Yeah, man. We talk about little Debbie cakes now the way OGs talk about cocaine. It was so pure back then. What? Before they put all the cut and all the bull in it. What?
Starting point is 00:57:19 You know what my wife's been obsessed with now? Watching TV that talks about the foods that we eat. So now for the last two weeks, she's vegan. And she's trying to get the whole house to be vegan. She ain't eating no... She's not wrong. She talks about all the artificial flavors, how the chicken coops are, and the fish dish, the that, that, that, that.
Starting point is 00:57:38 And it's really... She's trying to get me to watch it, but I don't want to watch it. Because I know if I watch it, then I won't want to eat it. She's not wrong. But I love an oxtail every once in a while. But it's not even just oxtail. It's just all this processed food is killing us.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Like this stuff's not even real. Yeah. Like it's genetically modified meat. Like we think we're eating meat. We're not. Like it's really that simple. Like it's killing us. Yeah, but the plant-based stuff
Starting point is 00:57:57 has to be artificial as well. It can't be natural. I agree with that now too. It can't be natural. Listen, there's no such thing as plant-based oxtails, people. No. I hate to tell you all this. You know what I mean? Plant-based chicken can't happen. It's just too. It can't be natural. Listen, there's no such thing as plant-based oxtails, people. No. I hate to tell you all this.
Starting point is 00:58:06 You know what I mean? Plant-based chicken and cats. It can't happen. It's not. It's just not. There's no plant-based Oreo cheesecake souffle. Like, no. You can't.
Starting point is 00:58:15 No, man. You can't. Just because it says plant-based on it don't mean it's good for you either. Now, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is whatever you're tired of, let it go. Especially people. Don't feel bad about it. Like, for real, we get on our knees every day, at least I do,
Starting point is 00:58:28 and I pray to God to take negativity out of my life. And when God is taking that negativity out of my life, he's not just swinging at, you know, things. He's swinging at people and spirits and energy. And those people that got those negative spirits and that negative energy, when it's time for them to go, let them go. Let them go let them go all right well when we come back we got jess with the mess she is out so we'll be holding it down king combs uh he has some things to say don't keep his uh keep his name and his daddy's name out your mouth we'll talk about it when we come

Starting point is 01:01:49 now king combs diddy Son released a new record. It's called Pick A Side and it has people talking. Can we play a clip of it? hoes with me but ain't no hoe with me i just laid back and i heard you made back that shit looks like full 50 police raid the crib like they think we selling crack but we out here selling tracks multi-million dollar plaques rather man the worst advice uh diddy ever gave king combs was can't stop won't stop because he needs to stop what you mean he needs to stop like i don't believe anything king combs says on that record like i dare you to say no diddy that's all you're gonna hear when you're out and about sir people are gonna try you you know what i'm saying they're gonna try you because they know you're not built like that so they're gonna be saying that just to antagonize you yeah well people uh put the record out as a diss record
Starting point is 01:02:58 it said he was dissing 50 cent he mentions 50 cent in the record i didn't hear the 50 cent diss he says many men hated on me i didn didn't hear him dissing 50 Cent, but what I did hear him, I heard him taunting the FBI. Right. Do we have that part? Well, before you do that, let me get to that.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Well, he did mention 50's name and said many men hated on him and he said, well, 50 Cent said, I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on this record. I'm afraid for my life.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Please don't hurt me, guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about Puffy Kids because Keefie D said he killed Tupac and left out loud. So that was 50 Cent's response.
Starting point is 01:03:30 And see, that's the other thing, right? It's been really quiet about the Diddy situation, right? He's like the Drake and the Kendrick and all that. That's what I'm saying. He took...
Starting point is 01:03:39 So why stir all of this back up by putting out a record that none of us needed? Nobody needed this. Well, he also talks about the feds. Knock them walls down like when them fetty boys ran them boat for our cribs. Too bad they ain't know we bought the one next door because that's the one they missed. All right, get a warrant for that one too now.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Since King Combs wants to tell us that's the house that we missed, we need to get a warrant for that one as well. It's like, come on, man. You talking like y'all know y'all in the clear. Leave the feds the hell alone, man. Well, 57 responded to that too. He says, now why would you say some ish like this when you know the feds are investigating? Is you stupid or is you dumb?
Starting point is 01:04:20 Laugh out loud. And he's right. Once again, the worst advice Diddy probably ever gave his son was can't stop, won't stop. Because sometimes it's okay to stop. You need to stop right now. Yeah, should have let that one go. Definitely should have let that one go. Now, MTV access their 2024 movie and TV awards.
Starting point is 01:04:42 They're not hosting it this year. They made it clear that it will return next year, but they're saying it's not going to happen this year. Ain't no money, man. Ain't no money, man. That's what that is. We ain't got no extra money, man. Ain't no extra money in the piggy bank, man.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Can't do an MTV movie and TV awards without no money, man. Well, they're saying next year they're going to bring it back. Lord have mercy. Hopefully. Okay. Now, could you imagine for Mother's Day, you buy your mom some tickets to see her favorite artist, you fly her to Atlanta, or y'all come to Atlanta, you get dressed, you put
Starting point is 01:05:14 your nice clothes on, you put your Mother's Day hat on, you get all nice, y'all eat first, and then y'all head to the concert, and then when you get there, the concert is canceled. That's what happened. Anita Baker had a show this sunday for mother's day you know she's an eight-time grammy award-winning artist and people you know set this up for a while because this is a mother's day concert people flew into atlanta to see her but minutes before the show was supposed to come on
Starting point is 01:05:39 it was called an evening with anita baker but it was canceled right beforehand and people were pissed off they're saying concert goers will be refunded for the cost of their tickets it's unclear if it will be rescheduled i understand people were pissed off but you do know she's 66 years old you don't know what's going on with her like before you get pissed off maybe you should stop and think to yourself is there any health issues going on does she have a family emergency like how do we know something's not wrong with her that could be true but when people you know when they pay for hotels and they pay for flights and they do all this stuff they want to see absolutely their mother they have
Starting point is 01:06:14 they have every right to be disappointed but once again you don't know what's up with her that's true you don't know you're just assuming that you know she just decided not to show up just because yeah i don't think that's the case that's true anita baker don't have a history of that does she i've never i've never i think she does i need a big guy the history of not just canceling shows last minute so i believe there's a bunch of been about a bunch of problems with anita baker shows remember there was a problem with baby face and yeah but that's that she came super duper late listen to what i said because see how quick you ready to spread a rumor you know how quick you be ready to spread a rumor? Let me Google it.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Does she have a history of not showing up to shows? Maybe I'm confusing Anita Baker and... Lauryn Hill? Lauryn Hill. Hold on, let me see. And Lauryn comes to the show, she just be 20 hours late. Anita Baker missing concerts? Let me see. I don't know how you gonna Google this in 20 seconds. I'm doing it right now.
Starting point is 01:07:04 I've never heard Anita Baker have a history of canceling shows no well no she kicked the fan out the concert but no she has not missed shows you're right they said that i'm looking right now it says uh she's she canceled she canceled a concert in birmingham in february okay and she had a nashville tour date scheduled for october that was rescheduled to february but that was called off as well that's true so once again you don't know what a person is going through that's true clearly something is going on that's true and lastly whoopi goldberg you know whoopi is 68 years old she says uh it seems like whoopi is not into the cuddling type she likes she prefers a hit and run type of relationship. Truth of the matter is, I am fundamentally a selfish person. And I've found that because I
Starting point is 01:07:51 have a wonderful kid and, you know, they don't have time for a whole lot of other people, you know, so hit and runs are great. I don't mind those, you know, but you can't spend the night. They still happen? Yeah, oh yeah. You have this whole line of words that are stacked up in your head about what you are if you say a hit and run is where you want to be and you don't want to be married. You know, am I a whore, am I this, am I a terrible person because I don't want to be. And my mother said, well, maybe you should just throw a party from now on. Not get married anymore.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Nah, she got that right. She's 68 years old. She's 68. She'll be 69 this year. Yeah, that don't make you a whore just because you want to make a little whoopee and have the person leave. I don't have a problem with that. Yeah, and whoopee's been married, what, three times? So she, you know, marriage is not for her. She ain't got time for all of that. She's with the, you know,, what, three times? So she, you know. Yeah, she grown. Marriage is not for her.
Starting point is 01:08:46 She ain't got time for all of that. She's with the, you know, hit and run. And thank you. Get out. You can't spend the night. No cuddling for you. And that is just, well, it's not just for the mess. That is the mess.
Starting point is 01:08:55 All right. Charlamagne, who you giving that down for two up next? Man, four after the hour, we need a man named George Sandoval to come to the front of the congregation. He's fat. He needs to be in jail. Not because he's fat, but because he committed a crime. We'll discuss for after the house. Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:09 All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a reason? He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it.
Starting point is 01:09:22 People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne.
Starting point is 01:09:33 There's only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you give the Donkey of the Day to now? Well, Sexy Red, I'm in here multitasking. Hold on, let me do this last. I'll be in here autographing thousands of books by hand. Donkey of the Day for Monday, May 13th goes to a man named George Sandoval. George is apparently 6'5 and 400 pounds.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Morbidly obese, okay? Those details are important for this story because George put hands on someone. Now, if someone's 6'5, 400 pounds put hands on you, it's probably going to leave a mark. If they can catch you. If they can catch you and put hands on you, they're going to leave a mark. And that's exactly what George did because he gave a young woman named Monique Larlos a black eye. Now, I know what you're thinking. You got to hear both sides.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Well, let's go to KOMO News for the report, please. Whoa. Did you see that? A subway manager in Madera was punched in the face Thursday evening, and the man had to be tackled by a customer and employees to get him to stop. I do not accept this. He comes around the corner. I go, what are you going to do, hit me over ham?
Starting point is 01:10:36 And he hit me. He punched me. All I could remember is just black. General Manager Monique Larios says she was called into work that day by her employees saying this man was mad because he didn't get double ham on his sandwich even though the store had proof he only paid to have six extra slices of meat not 12 but that issue escalated to this i still can't feel half of my face i can't feel nothing i'm scared that there's going to be some kind of damage permanent.
Starting point is 01:11:09 I've never been so numb to where my face feels like it's a mass, you know? Madera police officers say they arrested George Sandoval, the man who they say hit her that night for battery. Mario says she never stood a chance. I'm 4'11". This guy was 6'5", 400, almost 400 pounds. Big back, big back, big back, big back, 6'5", 400 pounds. How many people did it take to bring this man down? Whenever I'm in Subway, it's only a couple of folks.
Starting point is 01:11:36 How many people did it take to bring down this 6'5", 400-pound man? And why was he at Subway? He know he wanted to be at Golden Corral. This man paid to have six extra slices of subway he know he wanted to be at golden corral this man paid to have six extra slices of ham but he wanted 12 this is yet another reason why you shouldn't be eating pig okay no pork on my fork if it's swine i won't dine deuteronomy 14 8 says you shouldn't touch the flesh of a dead pig nonetheless eat it and this is an example why not really but in this era we can make two plus two equal five so why? Don't eat ham because it will lead you to punch random women in the face when you don't get enough of it.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Now, I also want to tell people out there, stop telling insane people what they won't do. You do realize 90, probably 95% of being crazy is doing what other people say you shouldn't do. So when a guy comes around the counter at a fast food restaurant, you have to just assume that nothing good is about to happen. Immediately, you should start doing what you need to do to protect yourself. But for some reason, Monique says she did not expect this. Maybe she's young and still believes in humanity. Give us some time with age and experience. You, too, will start to see and expect the worst in people.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Monique said to the man, what are you going to do? Hit me over ham. Yes, Monique. to the man, what are you going to do? Hit me over ham? Yes, Monique. That's exactly what a crazy human will do. What do you think he came around the court to counter for? And when you say things like that to them, what are you going to do? Hit me over a ham?
Starting point is 01:12:57 You're giving him a bright idea. He probably walked around the counter not knowing exactly what he wanted to do. He just wanted more ham. And you told him what not to do. in typical crazy fashion he did it that's what being crazy is doing what people say you won't do what makes this story even worse is she was off she was called into work that day by her employees who said a man was mad because he didn't get double ham on his sandwich i would fire every single one of those employees.
Starting point is 01:13:26 If she got the power to fire them, she should. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going.

Starting point is 01:19:07 Okay. I used to work at Taco Bell back in the day. Worked there for two weeks before my sister fired me. Okay. Because if someone wanted extra meat on their sandwich, I wouldn't give a damn. You can have it. Okay. If you want more of this genetically modified meat, then bon appetit.
Starting point is 01:19:21 Okay. I'm not about to argue with nobody over there. Fast food order. The customer is always absolutely right in the fast food world. These fast food restaurants not dying for you. You want more ham here. This poor girl says she still can't feel her face. Okay, half of her face she can't feel.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Says she can't feel nothing. She's scared there's going to be some kind of permanent damage. She says she's never been so numb to where her face feels like a mask. All of that over some Black Forest ham? No, man. Let George, who is 6'5", 400 pounds, morbidly obese, if he wants the pork, let him have it. And to the Big Back Brigade, the Y-Tang Clan, listen to me. This just reinforces the stereotype that fat people have no
Starting point is 01:20:06 control over themselves you don't have control over your eating habits you don't have control over your emotions you don't have control over the over the jiggling the walking side to side what do you want why are you looking at me like this first of all how did you drop one of clues boss big mac i don't even know how you snuck in here. He didn't sneak. How tall are you, Mac? Six, four and a half, six, five. How much do you weigh? A metric ton.
Starting point is 01:20:34 What the hell is a metric ton? A thousand pounds. You don't weigh no thousand pounds. You're right. Like, 943. How much do you weigh for real? I'm in the fours. Did they catch this guy? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:47 George Sandoval. Never mind. Okay. Listen here. First off, okay, you can go to hell, all right? Because when I saw the story, I knew for a fact that Charlamagne was going to accuse me of this. Okay? Because you have a thing about fat people, all right?
Starting point is 01:21:03 I don't. You have a weightism, all right? You have a thing about fat people. I don't. You have a weightism. All right? You have a problem. Second off, as the president of the Fat Lies Committee, we are highly upset and we just want to apologize to this woman. Okay. Because here in the Fat Lies, we have street mentality. Women and children are off limits.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Okay. As far as eating them. Huh? As far as eating them. I understand swinging on somebody for this type of situation, but women and children are off limits. You don't swing on women. Who puts 12 pieces of ham in their mouth?
Starting point is 01:21:31 And that's what I was going to say. Just so y'all know out here, I told you, big backs are fighting back. I know how many slices of cheese, how many slices of meat that are on all my... When I go to Wawa
Starting point is 01:21:43 and I get a meatball sub, I make sure i count every one of meatballs if you don't put the six in the classic that's the big role if you don't put all six in there and fill it up i make sure you you cheat me on one now like i said women and children are off limits but i and i have no way encourage that but i'm telling y'all ever since that show in the 90s my brother and and me, when he said, hit me, you so bad, hit me.
Starting point is 01:22:07 And what happened? I got hit. Stop telling people to hit you. Stop telling crazy people what they want to do. because crazy people don't have street mentality. Them rules is out of order. That's why I be using reverse psychology with you. I be like, I bet you,
Starting point is 01:22:20 I bet you can't eat that. I bet you won't eat that. No, I be like, I bet you can resist that. What? That's what I do. Does it work? I don't know, because I don't even know what I just said.
Starting point is 01:22:30 But you know what I'm trying to say. I'd be trying to use reverse psychology on him. Like, I'll see him wanting to eat something, and I'll be like, I bet you can't resist that. And it don't really work all the time, but I'm so competitive that i don't want to lose so i go through a moral thing where it's like lose what weight we know that both actually sometimes sometimes it's the it's the weight but sometimes i don't want to lose the challenge when you choose you try to tell me i don't want to eat and when y'all have all that free food over there that's right there'll be a whole line of people in line and charlie made the first thing is whoa mac relax
Starting point is 01:23:03 i'll be like mac i bet're going to eat all of that. And then I see that. That's what I do. I say, Mac, I bet you're going to eat all of that. And he gets in his head and he be like,
Starting point is 01:23:10 I bet you I won't. That's got to reverse psychology with him. I know we don't have much time, but was he white or black or Asian or? You want to play a game? Guess what weight he is. He was fat.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Please give George Sandoval the biggest, and I do mean biggest. Hee-haw. Charlamagne, I swear there's going to be short people doing some things out here, and I'm going to bring all them stories here, and I hope you report with the same energy that you do for Fat Pizzle.

You believe this foolishness? First of all, I did an interview with the New York Times a couple of weeks ago, because, you know, like I said,
Starting point is 01:38:53 my new book, Get Honest and Die Aligned, Why Small Talk Sucks, comes out May 21st. So, you know, you got to start the pressure around that. So I did an interview with the New York Times. And the title of the interview is Charlamagne Tha God Won't Take Sides. So it's not just an interview. It's something something it's a i think it's a new podcast that the new york times has
Starting point is 01:39:09 out too called the interview okay so it's in the new york times but it's available as a podcast as well so go check that out so they did a really you know dope photo shoot well if i must say so myself my 90s handsome is really on full display i I mean, this is 1990s type of handsome. This is Morris Chestnut. This is Lorenz Tate. Like, this is, this is. I'm special, y'all. I'm handsome.
Starting point is 01:39:33 You got to give it up for me. Come on. Special class. Yes. Also, we got to talk about ludicrous. I was in one of those, too. I failed a standardized test. I had to do a semester.
Starting point is 01:39:43 And ain't nothing wrong with them kids. Them kids are very bright. They were smart enough to know I was teasing them if I wanted them to choke me the hell out. You deserved it. I used to tease that little boy so much. I used to tease him at school. And he used to go to the Kingdom Hall with us.
Starting point is 01:39:58 I used to tease him at the Kingdom Hall. One day, unbeknownst to me, I'm just making my normal jokes. And I tried to walk on about my business. And he put me in a chokehold that had me seeing death. You learned about this shit. And that man from the Crossroads video was right there. He was standing right there with his hands. He was about to put them two fingers between my eyes.
Starting point is 01:40:18 You hear me? And right when he was about to put them two fingers between my eyes, that young man let me go. Thank God. Thank God. Thank God. All right. Well, let's jump into Ludacris. Ludacris was on Funky Friday with Cam Newton. They were having discussions about everything.
Starting point is 01:40:34 And some of the discussions were who would freestyle better, him or Lil Wayne? Freestyling. Ludacris versus Lil Wayne. I think Wayne, he's one of the greatest, by the way. I think he's admitted, like, he don't freestyle a lot. So I would just say I would win that. How? I'm talking about, like, just straight off the dome is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Because he does it, but I'm just saying, I think at one point he even admitted, he makes songs quick as hell. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, his thought process. So it's a sense and a form of freestyling but it's just like he's he's extra methodic with it too yeah but man wayne is one of my one of my favorites bro so i guess all these guys who uh write in their heads because that's what little wayne says too you know ever since biggie and jay said that and everybody wants to write in their head but they
Starting point is 01:41:18 say wayne says he does that as well so i guess that's not considered a freestyle, I guess. I don't know. Now, they also talk about who writes better versus him or Hov. Ludacris versus Radio Boyz. Hov. I would have to say win. I would win on that one. Hov? And, I mean, that's a strong statement to say that because, again, Hov is definitely one of my favorites as well. Versus, man, I'm just going to go in and metaphor and style in terms of flow.
Starting point is 01:41:47 I'm going to kill that shit. And it's not to say that Hov is not going to kill that shit. When you say shit like that and it puts me in a category like, oh, shit, I'm going against Hov, I got to. Every word, every line, every style, every flow, every metaphor, I got to go. You shouldn't even be comparing Luda with Hov. Compare Luda with Redman, Method Man,
Starting point is 01:42:09 Busta Rhymes. That's the lane Luda is into me. You can't compare Luda. It comes down to flows, lyrics, metaphors. Yeah, absolutely. It's two totally different things. He also talks about Drake doing better hooks and he says Drake would absolutely positively
Starting point is 01:42:24 do a better hook than him. He says Drake just has the hook game crazy. Also. Yeah, because Drake can sing. And rap. Drake got the melody. That's what he said. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:34 Now, lastly, this is a sad story. D. Bills, D. Bills, a producer, lives out in Atlanta. He's done records with Lil Baby, DaBaby, City Girls, Wife, and Lucci BRS Cash, Pee Wee Longway, Rich Da Kid, just to name a few. Was killed over the weekend by his son. D. Bills, whose real name is Clinton Dorsey, in the music industry. Austin says in addition to his contributions to the music scene, his friend also had a thriving dog breeding business. Austin says the father and son had been visiting him at his apartment Thursday. to the music scene, his friend also had a thriving dog breeding business. Austin says the father and son had been visiting him at his apartment Thursday.
Starting point is 01:43:14 Austin says he had stepped out for a moment, and that's when the Dorseys got into an argument. Ed Dorsey had a gun. The argument turned to being physical, and the physical confrontation turned to Mr. Dorsey retrieving a firearm and shooting Clinton Dorsey. Horrible, man. So sad. Horrible. So sad. There's no argument that that will require. Not when you think about the ultimate consequence.

It's like, yeah, you might get into an argument. You might get pissed off to the highest level. But is it really worth the rest of your life in prison? Yeah, even if it was a physical altercation.
