Starting point is 00:04:42 in this studio, okay? Now, I walked in this morning. There was these two huge thrones. Makes me feel like I'm the king of Zamunda right now. Turn up a little bit more. I'm Wakanda. Me Wakanda, I'm Zamunda. Two huge thrones made out of gold.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Real gold plated. I said plated. I did say plated. I said plated. I said plated. I said real gold plated. I said plated. I did say plated. I said plated. I said plated. I said real gold plated. Not real gold. All right.

Starting point is 00:05:24 Now, this is what happens. Yeah, I feel like Vero Peasant over here. You are far from a peasant. He's giving peasant. Ebony K. Williams could never be a peasant. But over the holidays, I ordered these two thrones. What gave you this idea? You called me one day.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I was like, I ordered thrones. I'm like, what are you talking about? I just thought they would look good in the room. Like, look at the new space. Look at the new studio. You know what I mean? And we got some things that, you know. That's happening.
Starting point is 00:05:43 That's happening. That I think that they would fit very well. You know, if this was a set, so to speak. Doesn't it feel right? It isn't a set of sorts. Yes, it is a set. Doesn't it feel right? Yeah, I feel like I'd be like, good morning, my neighbor.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Good morning, my neighbor. The Thrones were supposed to be here when we got back from holiday break, but the problem was I had them in the queue because I thought I ordered them. So you didn't pay for them. So when I was looking, I was like, why they ain't get here yet? So when I went to look, they were like, your order is waiting on you. Oh, they were still in them. Exactly. I'm going to order another one today, though.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I think you need a booster chair for yours. You need to go up like two inches. Pause. I feel that way, but I feel good. I like this angle. You like this angle? I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I feel like God has me seeing everything from the perspective I'm supposed to see. I like it. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:25 All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. We got a lot to talk about. There's a winter storm going on, and we'll discuss that a little bit. It was kind of nasty getting into work this morning. We'll get into it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V, Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Ebony K. Williams, joining us this morning. What's up, fam? And let's get in some front page news. Now, an ice storm is hitting the southern U.S., causing a lot of problems from Texas to Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I was actually supposed to be in Texas this Friday, Dallas, but they got, I think, four inches of snow. Really? And because of that, there's no plows, there's no salting things, so they canceled most of the flights going down there. So I think I'm going to be canceled going to Dallas this Friday. By the way, for instance, the snow in the south shuts everything down. I was going to say, yeah, you know we don't even know how to act when it rains. Exactly. Everything shut down.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Even coming to work today, there was a lot of accidents on the road. You didn't see none of that? Nah. I woke up this morning. I didn't even realize it snowed. Yeah, you didn't even see the snow. Nah. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:07:23 There's snow on cars. I thought that was from another day. I didn't even pay no attention. This guy is crazy. Oh, my God. I didn't even see the snow. Nah. I didn't. It's snow on cars. I thought that was from another day. I didn't even pay no attention. This guy is crazy. Oh, my God. I didn't pay no attention. All right. Now, your president, Joe Biden, says COVID is over.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Is the pandemic over? The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. Well, the pandemic is over is what he's saying. And he's going to end the COVID-19 National and Public Health Emergency on May 11th.
Starting point is 00:07:52 What does that mean? That means you're not going to get any of those free COVID-19 tests anymore in the mail. Treatments and vaccines are going to be a charge now. There were no charge at one time. And if you have to deal with a lot of the things, now you have to deal with it on your own. It seems like they're going to be pulling
Starting point is 00:08:07 back from a lot of the things that they were paying for originally. Thoughts? I'm just really sad when these student loan bills come back due. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's about to come back up too. Damn it, Joe. I feel like, you know, he's like a year late on this. I feel like we've been said
Starting point is 00:08:23 the pandemic was over. In New York. I feel like that's a New York thing, Char on this I feel like we've been said the pandemic was over in New York I feel like that's a New York thing Char oh Florida two years Georgia two years Texas two years Florida never had a pandemic what are you talking about
Starting point is 00:08:32 and they telling us the pandemic is over but something else is out here I don't know if it's the common cold the flu RSV virus but there is something else
Starting point is 00:08:39 out here because folks is sick right now folks still get COVID to be honest folks got variations but a lot of those tests, though, a lot of the tests and the treatment and the vaccines that they were doing for no charge is really going to affect people because
Starting point is 00:08:49 I mean, I know a lot of people were getting tests and that's the way they were paying for them because them tests are expensive. Very much so. Yeah, but did we even care about tests after a while? Yes. Because I got swabbed today. You better believe it. They swabbed you? Absolutely. That's wrong, Ebony. They shouldn't swab you.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I'm going to shut up. Let me You better believe it. They swabbed you? Absolutely. That's wrong, Ebony. They shouldn't swab you. What do you mean? I'm going to shut up. Let me hug before I get somebody in trouble. All I'm going to say is, I've seen some tests happen, and the test came back positive. And folks like, hey, man, we got an interview. Yeah, going to work. Bring them in. You know?
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah, let's not say that. Allegedly. I'm just saying. Allegedly? I'm just saying. That didn't happen here. You're going to get somebody in trouble. No, not here. Terms and conditions. Charlemagne, terms and conditions. No, not here. Oh, that. Allegedly. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. That didn't happen here. You're going to get some money in trouble. No, not here.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Okay, good. Terms and conditions, Charlemagne. Terms and conditions. No, not here. Oh, yeah. All right. Lastly, on a serious note, today is Tyree Nichols' funeral. Of course, it'll be held in Memphis. Vice President Kamala Harris will be there.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Reverend Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy. Attorney Benjamin Crump will deliver the call for justice. That will happen, and it will be broadcasted on CBS News today, this afternoon at 11 a.m. Sounds like a great day to go ahead and pass the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act. Absolutely. And you know, I was going to say, it's great when, like, you know, the vice presidents and the presidents show up to those kind of events.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It's a good gesture, but it can also be such a real distraction because that's the first thing I would be saying if i was there when y'all gonna do something about this that's the only thing i want to talk about if i'm the nichols family that's right that's it and george floyd's uh family will be in attendance as well to show support well even more even a better day to pass the george floyd justice and policing act the vp about to get an earful today then i hope she prepared to have those conversations in that moment. I am sure that they're going to keep people away from her. She's going to speak to the family and I'm sure there's going to be secret
Starting point is 00:10:29 service agents all around. They're going to get her in and get her right out. Which feels like virtue signaling to be candid. That's what I'm saying. But the only reason it isn't election year next year. They're always campaigning, right? Yes. Always. They're always in campaign mode. Yes. Alright. Well, that is front page news get it
Starting point is 00:10:45 off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up right now and our special guest host emily k williams is here 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? My name's Anthony. Anthony, what's up? Get it off your chest. Nah, infinite, infinite.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Oh, infinite. Not my bag. Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, I was talking about the situation with the school and the little girl. Yes, sir. I just feel like, you know, parents today, with the economy being the way girl. Yes, sir. I just feel like, you know, parents today, with the economy being the way that it is, parents working so hard, kids is raising themselves, and then there's just no respect out there, period.
Starting point is 00:11:36 So I feel like they need to implement and put people in position in the schools, like Chalamet was saying, like you were saying, that's equipped to handle Karma, you know things they go into at home. They see in the streets and you need to like there's a group called You said you said to get the brothers from Detroit Yeah, new era Detroit. Yeah, I know about them.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, they need to put them brothers and more brothers like that in school. We need to have conversations where you, you know, you lend out an olive branch and start getting over your emotions and putting FOIs in there. Brothers, that's a flip.
Starting point is 00:12:23 We're handling our people. We've been dealing with our people for over 70, 80 years. Yeah. Now, if you don't know what he's talking about, yesterday we had a discussion about this young student who got into a fight with her teacher and actually broke the teacher's leg. The teacher's leg was broken because of the incident. So we were talking about that yesterday on the radio. So I guess he wanted to.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I'm not going to lie. I was thinking about that teacher yesterday, the incident. So we were talking about that yesterday on the radio. So I guess he wanted to. I'm not gonna lie. I was thinking about that teacher yesterday too, man. Because another thing about that teacher, that's why when you a certain age, you better stop acting like you still can fight. You know what I'm saying? Because you jump out there and something break. And you was like, damn, you think you still got it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 And you don't. Exactly. Hello, who's this? Hey guys, it's Sandra the Haste therapist. Sac passe. And see, I have a little beef with you Oh boy, why you have a little beef with me? I'm a therapist and I got plastic surgery
Starting point is 00:13:11 Like Envy, Envy got a nose job I do not get plastic surgery I do not have a nose job, but go ahead And I think there's a difference between having an insecurity and being insecure Oh, you missed that conversation. I heard it by the way. So you take the position, Envy, that if you have plastic surgery,
Starting point is 00:13:30 you must be insecure. You have a little bit of insecurities in you if you're getting plastic surgery. If you want to enhance or change something on your body, I think you do. Absolutely not. I think you do. Do I look different from the last time you saw me?
Starting point is 00:13:41 I'm going to test your theory. Do you look different? Yes. Yes. Okay, what did I get? You, like, how did it end? It looked like your cheeks are a little bigger. He's making that f***ing acting, Evie. He's making that f***ing.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I think your cheeks are a little f***ing projected because I always say you got cheek fillers, which you did, by the way. I did not get cheek fillers. Which is fine. I did not get cheek fillers. I need a little sun on the eyes right now. I did not get cheek fillers, nor did I get a nose job. It's okay if youers. I need a little sun around the eyes right now. I did not get cheek fillers, nor did I get a nose job. It's okay if you did. I don't think that you're an insecure person for doing that.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I didn't know, but that's okay. I mean, being insecure is not a problem. I talk about my insecurities in certain things. That's not a bad thing. Right. It's not. But I just feel like people who get plastic surgery have a little insecurity. That's all.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I disagree. Totally disagree. Yes, because being an insecure person is different than having an insecurity. I don't even think you have to have an insecure person. I don't even think you have to have an insecurity, dear. I think that
Starting point is 00:14:38 you can just want to improve upon greatness. That's very true. I mean, it's hard. Was that too much? No, I mean, that's how you feel. But I feel like if you want to change any part of your body or something that's bothering you that you want to change, it's hard was that was that too much no i mean that's how you feel but i feel like if you want to change any part of your body or something that's bothering you that you want to change there's a little insecurity that's my point i don't agree with that well you have to agree no that's how i feel some people just want to enhance what they already got then that's a little insecurity to me no no you got you got cars you do things to your cars not because you don't
Starting point is 00:15:02 like your cars it's because you want to enhance it a little bit. My cars don't have feelings. They don't have insecurities. Shut up, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:21:14 Yeah. There you go. All right, brother. That last sound, seriously. That did sound crazy, right? That last sound, like y'all know each other, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I'm not gonna lie. Nah. We're called GIF. You shut up. Oh, God. Today's GIF's birthday, too. Happy birthday, seriously. That did sound crazy, right? That last sound, like y'all know each other, bro. I'm not gonna lie. Nah. We're called GIF. You shut up. Oh, God. Today's GIF's birthday, too. Happy birthday, baby. Happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Andre. How's it going? Andre, what's up? Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, man, love your show first. Hey, I had a question. Can we start taking
Starting point is 00:21:40 the government assistance from these people that's not raising their kids? Ooh, that's a good question. already paid we already paid for them to that the health care and all the rest of this and if you're not taking your kids to the doctor you got mental problems they need to go to a doctor i don't understand it that's a good question i never i never thought about that i don't know can you i think it's hard to evaluate who how you're raising your kids like what's what's that survey look like yeah you know i don't know but i don't know i know you have to
Starting point is 00:22:10 take your kids to the hospital to a certain age because they have to go to school and you need certain immunizations immunization shots and forms to get to cool even even to play sports man i think what you're saying like when you see these kids with these behavioral problems like you feel like they should parents should have this yeah itoday? Yeah. I disagree with that. If your kid is constantly having, if your kid is constantly having
Starting point is 00:22:28 behavioral problems, then it's obvious they need psychological help. The government already pays, if you don't have, every child going
Starting point is 00:22:35 to school have insurance. If the government paying for it, or you paying for it through your job, but every child have to have
Starting point is 00:22:43 insurance to go to school. You're abusing those kids if they're not getting the psychological help that they need. Well, you know, I'm a big proponent of mental and emotional health, so I'm all for that. But, you know, sometimes, man, these kids just need more than psychological assistance.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Sometimes these kids just need attention and love. A lot of times. The reason that we give government assistance is to help you raise your kids so that you have so that mothers or fathers or whoever it is they have time to raise their children that's what that's what the money is for and if you're not doing your job raising your children what do we give you that money for i think i think i think i take issue they can lose their sisters, they'd be living more intensified to be in their children's
Starting point is 00:23:28 life. I think I take issue with assuming that a parent's not doing their job simply because a kid has behavioral issues. That's true. Because it's nature and nurture. I mean, y'all are parents. There's only so much y'all can do. That's right. A mother or father is responsible for both of
Starting point is 00:23:43 those. To a certain extent. I mean, because you can do the best you can at home, right? But then once a kid gets out in the world, he's influenced by, he or she is influenced by things that happen in the world. Influenced by social media, influenced by friends, influenced by the environment. All of those things, all of those things that you're saying are things that the parent could control. No, they can't control. They definitely can't control it. They definitely can't control it. Because I even remember as a teenager,
Starting point is 00:24:08 like I tell everybody this story all the time, Clue influenced me and Clue influenced me because he was a DJ. But if he wasn't a DJ and he was a drug dealer, he was doing something negative. He's somebody I looked up to and I probably would have been influenced by him. And you thought he was cute. Shut up.

Which was stalled. Which we know was stalled because of the slap.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Well, they said there was several delays in the past three years, though the infamous Oscar moment wasn't one of them. That's one thing they did say. Go ahead. Now, something that's not front page news, not a rumor report, but I just found this story funny. There was a 22-year-old junior varsity assistant girls basketball coach in Portsmouth, Virginia.
Starting point is 00:28:29 She was fired this week after she impersonated a 13-year-old player and started playing in a game. She was 22 years old and wanted to play on the JV game. So she was blocking the girls. She was doing all that. I don't know why she did it or what made her want to as a grown-ass woman to play with some 13 year olds but that's what she did ain't that wild yeah i don't know who to blame in situations like that the adults who impersonate kids or the adults who can't tell that's an adult impersonating kids some of these some of these
Starting point is 00:28:59 kids look old now bro that's what i'm saying does she look young do the kids look old i don't know and why i i don't know and why i i don't know like what do you get out of that like you just need one last thrill like flex you want to live out your old high school days like what is it and this is like the third case in the last couple of months where you know people old grown-ass men grown-ass women have went back to high school played basketball went to classes like it's the weirdest thing ever well you know some people peak in high school that is a thing oh that's. It's the weirdest thing ever. Some people peak in high school. That is a thing. No, that's true. That's the Al Bundy syndrome.

That was the best time of the year. That's the heyday. It's peak. That's sad, man. Peak season. Don't they call that something like suspended something?

Starting point is 00:30:37 Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to some front page news with our guest host, Miss Ebony K. Williams. What's up, fellas? Front page news. Ron DeSantis, Florida host, Ms. Ebony K. Williams. What's up, fellas? Front page news. Ron DeSantis, Florida governor, with some more ridiculousness.
Starting point is 00:30:49 DeSantis now proposing a ban on all diversity and inclusion initiatives in Florida universities. We know he's really been on erasing blackness for a while now. Florida governor,
Starting point is 00:30:59 Ron DeSantis, says he intends to ban state universities from spending money holding the bag hostage on diversity equity and inclusion in hopes that they will wither on the vine without funding so he is literally starving draining the resources from black education um personally i am not at all bothered
Starting point is 00:31:18 by this particular front page news charlamagne and i were texting about it over the weekend i drew i first of all i saw this coming right it's never a surprise when it's an attack on blackness not even on the first day of black history month uh i wrote this book bet on black the good news about being black in america and i open it y'all with a chapter called accuracy we can't as a people know who we are without knowing from which we derive an accurate understanding of it so because malcolm already told us y'all only a fool would let his oppressor teach his children that's right okay we as black folk cannot afford to let government institutions including florida or other states hold hostage our knowledge so i think all black parents all
Starting point is 00:31:57 black folks should have libraries in their own home with all of the essential black reading material so our kids do not have to be at the helm at the request of a Ron DeSantis. And that's what you did in your book so well. I mean, not only do you address that in the first chapter, at the end of your book, you have a whole list of books that people
Starting point is 00:32:18 should read. And you know, even what she said about Malcolm X is very true. It's like Malcolm X educated himself, so that's what I always have done. I didn't go to college, you know what I mean? I like to read books, which Ebony shames people for not doing in her book, which is good. You should shame people for not reading.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Especially in a culture where you've got dum-dums like Kanye and the likes saying how much they... Enjoy not reading. Yeah, I love not reading. You are an ignorant fool, and I mean that in the purest sense of the term. And then you open a school. You can't open no goddamn school if you're bragging about not reading.
Starting point is 00:32:50 A mess. Why would you send your kid to a school where the founder openly bragged about not reading? Dr. Donda has to be rolling in her grave. But no, the resources in the back of the book are important. Something that she said. Oh, speaking of self-taught, Frederick Douglass. Remember when I pulled up at Breakfast Club maybe four or five years ago now and i lent you uh the narratives of frederick douglas frederick douglas was born a slave in this country and taught himself
Starting point is 00:33:13 how to read by playing a game with the white owner's child and like basically tricking the white boy to teaching him the alphabet and that's how he learned to read and became one of the greatest patriots and orators and writers of american time so so first of all i didn't know you lent me that book i still have it i thought yeah i mean i don't know if it's a lend anymore charlemagne i think it's a gift i think you stole it yeah so we shouldn't care about the i don't want to we shouldn't care about the legislation two things can be true okay i think and i talked about this on my show the griot you can catch that uh every night at 6 p.m on the griot we should not care in the sense that it's not gonna stop it we're gonna continue to learn
Starting point is 00:33:53 educate and absorb and celebrate our blackness and we should also use resources i believe attorney ben crump and some other legal giants are suing the state of florida and ronda santos to make them fund black black programming and black curriculum so we should do both all right it's an it's an it's a both it's a this and situation sue and read all right what else we got oh what else we got yeah let's go to um george washington university this is interesting can't wait to see what you guys think about this one as fathers of children that include daughters george washington university installs emergency contraception vending machines for students this is now going to be a
Starting point is 00:34:30 vending machine that will disperse emergency contraception pills basically plan b uh morning after pills in washington dc campus universities uh this was a student-led effort which they were successful um for me you know as a woman who believes that it's my body, it's my choice. We see the attack on women's reproductive rights and abortion in this country. Conservative Supreme Court is stripping us every day of our rights. I think this is fundamental. This is fundamental. If you don't want to make safe legal abortions a thing in this country anymore, if that's no longer the law of the land, we got to go this route.
Starting point is 00:35:03 But what do y'all think? I ain't thinking about it. No. Because it makes you cringe as a dad to think about your children, your daughters having sex. Grow up, Charlamagne. Grow up.
Starting point is 00:35:12 But I agree. It doesn't have to just be your daughters. It could be your sons. Whoever has to get it in. But a lot of times, people don't want to go to CVS or Walgreens or these pharmacies because they feel embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Now you can go to a vending machine at four in the morning when nobody's there if that happens. So I don't have a problem with it. Not at all. Yeah, I mean, you can go to a vending machine at four in the morning when nobody's there if that happens. So I don't have a problem with it. Not at all. Yeah, I mean, you know, in a perfect world,
Starting point is 00:35:29 I hope she don't need it because she's not having sex, right? And I hope she don't need it when she gets older because she's using protection. Correct. You know what I mean? I hope it doesn't get to that.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But if she uses protection and there's a problem, if a condom breaks and something happens. Chalamet, are you for real? Yes, I am. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I actually think that's a great idea. I think it's phenomenal. I think that's a great idea i think that's a great idea you gotta hold it up my oldest is only 14 your oldest oh okay 21
Starting point is 00:35:52 21 yeah what can i now i'm being nosy but i'm curious when is the age as fathers is it like not oh my god i'm horrified my daughter's having sex we are human beings right so what probably i don't know 30 40 oh my god when i'm older you know she married i'm with charlotte i don't want to think about it like it's not one of the things that i'm just one of the things that conversations that i want to have you had the conversation with your older daughters no my wife your wife does absolutely and envy's in a weird place because you know his oldest his oldest daughter's boyfriend hitting on him. You know what I mean? Stop!
Starting point is 00:36:26 I'm serious. No, he's not hitting on you. He took you to ask you on a date. But no, she does have a boyfriend. It's a serious boyfriend. They've been together, I guess, about six, seven months now. They go to NYU. And he comes to the family functions.
Starting point is 00:36:36 He took me to the game. I like him. He's a cool brother. He's trying to get your buy-in. That's what that was. Yeah, he is. I think that's great. But he got it.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I like him. I mean, he's a great kid.. That's what that was. Yeah, he is. I think that's great. But he got it. I like him. I mean, he's a great kid, smart kid, very smart individual. You know, I like what he stands for. He's a good kid. Do you see yourself in him? And what I mean by that is... What? No, listen.
Starting point is 00:36:55 What? Because we both have been with our wives for a long time. Correct. I mean, it'd be 25 years me and my wife been together this year, right? How long are you in... 28 years. Exactly. So when you see him, do you see like, oh, I see that spark that we had when we was young.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I can see them being together for a long time. Absolutely. Okay. I see the conversations that, you know, the babe and the holding hands and I see all that. That's important. I see all that. But I like it because I like who he is as a person. He's, you know, at his age, I wasn't that guy.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I wasn't that nice. I wasn't that. I was an idiot. I was an ass. But, you know, he's a way better individual his age i wasn't that guy i wasn't that nice i wasn't that i was an idiot i was an ass but you know he's a way better individual as i was a kid you know so i you know i respect it i respect it okay i'm into it but to ask that question i'd rather that that that vending machine there yeah i think they should be everywhere absolutely i'm not mad at the vending machines i'm just sitting here thinking like you know i hope it don't get to plan b meaning that you know i hope she oh we can do this because i not mad at the vending machines. I'm just sitting here thinking, like, you know, I hope it don't get to plan B. Meaning that, you know, I hope she... Oh, we can do this because I hope it's a vending machine.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You hope it's a vending machine before that. Correct. You hope abstinence or, you know, condoms, essentially. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, where you want to go next?

You know what I mean? Because I'm thicker than her. And I've been in those situations where I too have been objectified by other men. And you objectified a man before. In front of me. You better shut up because that happened together. I'm going to tell you something.

Starting point is 00:43:46 So they cat called you? I didn't throw that ass in a circle. Throw that ass in a circle. Nah, I didn't do all that. Throw that ass in a circle. Whoa! They had me in a circle like just spinning me around like the rotisserie chicken. That was kinda wild.

Starting point is 00:44:05 I was in Boston. I was DJing a party, and I just killed the set. And I heard somebody go, damn, and then slapped my ass. Ebony, as a woman who's, I'm sure, been getting objectified your whole life. Yes. For a long time. Absolutely. How should men react to that?
Starting point is 00:44:22 I think you should take it as a compliment. No, I'm just kidding. What were you wearing how short was your dress no i mean it's i think it's interesting hearing y'all talk about this because y'all sound so offended and and put off and i know both of y'all do this to women on a daily basis and probably have since you came out the womb not anymore not y'all don't do it now back in the day yeah okay y'all are reformed yeah uh but also have y'all been objectified because both instances y'all gave you were objectified by men i want to know as men have you been objectified by women i have i have as well tell me more interesting i have as
Starting point is 00:45:00 well i've had women grab grab my ass reach for my crotch before absolutely and it's well different and it's just gonna sound crazy in this concern as a woman I don't look at it as objectification oh I feel like it's more disrespectful really yeah as a dude is more funny because when the dude did it the first thing I did was I'm gonna call Charlotte because this is hilarious you get laughing I'm laughing at it you know maybe call my wife like yo you know what this dude just did because to me it's funny yeah yeah but with the girl it was like you're touching me like you know i don't know why because it's more like don't disrespect my wife like that you know i'm a married man don't do me like that
Starting point is 00:45:33 correct you know what i'm saying correct i don't think that's what it is that's what it is that's what it is so if you were single and a woman just that you didn't know that you did not invite to touch your person reached and grabbed your crotch, you would be like, oh. How she look? By who? What Andy is saying is what women say. I forgot who we had up here recently and they were like, it depends what the guy looks like.
Starting point is 00:45:55 No, Lala. Lala was like, if it's a guy you're not interested in, then it's harassment. But if it's a guy you're interested in, it's like, hey. Well, respectfully, that's Lala. That's not, I don't think universally true. I'll give's a guy you're interested in, it's like, hey. Yeah. Well, respectfully, that's la-la.

Starting point is 01:00:33 That is a goddamn lie. The moral of the story is I don't know how to feel about this. I'm going to be honest with you. What? Because it's kind of like not all women, right? And not all men. But the common thing you hear is, depends on how the person looks. That was objectifying.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Right. That's the common thing I hear from men and women. Hmm. What are you? I don't know. Interesting. It don't matter to me. Don't touch me.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Oh, I agree. Don't touch me. Yeah, don't touch me. Don't touch me. But what about everything else, though? What about the cat call and the, ooh, what's up, daddy with the fatty? No, no, no bueno. Nobody ever said that to you.

Well, we'll tell you about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club of the morning. Every time I hear this song, I hear new bars. She spits.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I don't know who wrote that. I don't know whoever did or if they wrote it themselves. Drop on the clues, Bob. They snap. Cardi versus Crazy. Cardi say, I don't even speak, dog. Can't no B talk to me. God damn it. No, Cardi's sp. Cardi say, I don't even speak, dog. Can't no bee talk to me? God damn.

Starting point is 01:01:57 Oh, I thought she heard the objectifying conversation. About what? Just in general. I thought she heard it. No. What she did? She deserved to be objectified, boo. I know.
Starting point is 01:02:04 She did say that because my body fine, baby. People have been asking us to have Gia up here as our guest co-host. We got Ebony K. Williams today as our guest co-host, but they've been saying they want Gia up here because people really want to talk to her about the trip. Oh, the trip? Yeah. Somebody said that to me yesterday, actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:23 I was thinking about doing it. We have another book coming out called Real Life, Real Family, where we break down raising our kids. So they were saying do a close to that. But yeah, we can definitely come talk about the trip, man. She can't sleep now because Thailand, the time difference is different. So right now in Thailand, it's what? Seven in the morning here?
Starting point is 01:02:41 It's seven at night. So at night, she can't sleep. So she's up all night. And then during the day, she's tired. Well, you know what you got to do? You got to take her back to Bangkok, baby. Phuket. You got to get the Phuket on.
Starting point is 01:02:53 All right, let's get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out her name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I don't gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right?
Starting point is 01:03:05 Yes, on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. Now, Lil Jon is threatening to take legal action against Live Nation. Now, this is for the use of Lovers and Friends Festival that they do out in Vegas. Lil Jon actually was part of that festival. I think he performed last year. I didn't see his name on it this year. What do you think he has the case, Ebony? Give me more details, Envy.
Starting point is 01:03:26 What is he suing for? Well, he has a song. Remember he had that song, Lovers and Friends? Oh, for that show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know if he has that trademarked. So he just doesn't like them branding
Starting point is 01:03:34 the festival with his song? Is that the issue? That's what I think it is, yeah. So then it would be on trademark, like Charlamagne said. If he's got a trademark slash copyright that gives him exclusive usage, he does definitely have a case. Otherwise for you but wouldn't he like you said
Starting point is 01:03:49 exclusive usage means you would have to have that uh phrase covered for everything right or and renewed yeah so a lot of times it's it's for a period of time normally about 10 years you'll have uh usage um and then he can license it out so it might not be that they need to change the name they might just need to pay him now uh e, Ebony K. Williams is our guest host today and tomorrow. So question, you know, back in the day, right, if you were a rapper or you had something that you felt that was yours, the way that you would trademark it is you would mail it to yourself and never open it. Does that really work? Not about as well as common law marriage.
Starting point is 01:04:20 And that's the answer is not at all. Damn. Sorry for you. Damn. Okay. Now now yesterday we reported about a lotto and uh uh they were saying that lotto wears the same cheetah print underwear all the time disgusting uh no she doesn't though she doesn't i'm sorry it just no no she doesn't allegedly disgusting yeah so she she buys a bunch she says she buys them from target she she buys a bunch of underwear but people were talking about it she put it on ebay
Starting point is 01:04:43 and it got up to 95 000 with somebody was going to pay 95 000 for her underwear i don't believe that i think i don't know how ebay works but i think people just be doing them just bidding yeah they're not buying no drawers for no 95 grand well ebay took it down and they said uh it's a violation of their used clothing policy uh they took it down because of health and hygiene and we thank them for it you know never mind what i'm about to say you know after the last topic i don't want to talk about this but i will what that's how you know you've been working with somebody for too long wow working with somebody for too long because you do that in me you'd be when you've been wearing the same dress for 13 years how do you know what i've been wearing and i said that to him i'm like bro you wear the same drawers all the years. Oh, wow. How do you know what I've been wearing? Because you used to sag crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:26 And I said that to him. I'm like, bro, you wear the same drawers all the time. And pull your pants up. That was another thing I said to him. Never said pull my pants up. You used to wear these. You got these red drawers. Calvin Klein's. I don't wear them anymore.

Starting point is 01:05:52 so for Christmas my mom would buy me like three packs of it and three packs come in at like three four each that's what my mother used to do

Starting point is 01:06:05 I've got like 90 pair. What are hanky-pankies? Oh, you know what hanky-pankies are. I don't know what a hanky-panky is. Ask wifey. They're lace, stretchy. Taylor, you know what hanky-pankies are. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 01:06:27 Why'd your mama keep buying you red drawers though, Amy? They're not red. And Calvin Klein, just the top is red. No, just the top is red. And then it's white. And then the top is red. And then it's black. And it's white.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Okay. I just thought, you know, he was trying to hide his period. You used to target on the way. Ew! Did you say hide his period? I did not say that. Did you say that? Yes, he did.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Who said that? What's wrong with you? You little nasty lastly ben stephan curry and aisha curry oppose a multi-family development near their home that's interesting now uh the couple told officials one of the nation's most exclusive enclaves that their three-story townhouse would in uh would be a problem with their privacy and they said it's safety and privacy for us and our kids continue to be on top priority, and one of the biggest reasons we chose to live in that neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:07:09 How do you guys feel about it? That's interesting. Go ahead, Ebony. I don't think that's the real reason. I think they don't want their property value to go down, and I don't blame them. And I read the statement that Steph said, and he essentially said that.
Starting point is 01:07:20 He was like, yo, we spend all of this money to live here, to have safety for our children. and he did say something like that like you know he doesn't he didn't say he want the property value to go down but he said something that's true he used a lot of words to say i don't want my property value i mean you think about it i buy a house for 30 million dollars right i'm buying a house because i want the space i want the land i want to be safe i want to be an environment where i have no neighbors where i have nobody around me want the land. I want to be safe. I want to be in an environment where I have no neighbors, where I have nobody around me. And you want the equity
Starting point is 01:07:47 and you want the financial benefit. The house is still worth what it is. Absolutely. So if you put this development there, it's going to lower the value of the area. Absolutely. Positively. And he also said,
Starting point is 01:07:56 it's not that he said, I want people to have affordable housing. I just don't want it here. Correct. Put it someplace else. And Dave Chappelle did the same thing. Y'all remember he went to city hall and everything. Yeah. City council meetings and I don't blame them and i think it's a matter of you can do
Starting point is 01:08:09 good and do well and i think people like to demonize people that want to do well and act like they're horrible people and it's just not the case that's why i hate when stories like that go public you know what i mean yeah because it makes it makes them look like people that i don't know them personally but it makes them look like people that they're not yeah you know what i mean yeah well they gotta do now is um i mean they don't have to but i wouldn't be surprised because i do know the curry's just a tiny bit um you know from charlotte uh dell and all them anyway um give a little something contribute and support the low income project you know true outside of their neighborhood yeah over there yeah yeah especially because i'm sure they're
Starting point is 01:08:47 paying high tax prices and they pay for that for the area for the living for the comfort of having so much property so that's the reason why those houses are 30 million dollars yeah and let's talk about the race element right there is a reason why black real estate does not appreciate at the level that our white peers do and it's this type of discrepancy you know what i mean so i think it's really important to you know keep it a buck all right well that is your rumor report charlamagne who you giving that down katu oh man four after the hour man you know i i feel this individual's pain but you know shoplifting is never cool so i need this uh shoplifter to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with him i don't know his name so i'm putting
Starting point is 01:09:23 this out there in hopes that we can find him. You have his picture? Yeah, we definitely have a whole video. Got the whole heist on tape. We can play a game? I mean, we could, but sure. Okay, sure. All right, we'll do that next.

Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, February 1st, first day of Black History Month, goes to a young man whose name has not been released. And that's honestly for the best well at least for him because this guy did something that will be pinned on him forever if we ever find his name uh i want to first say this is a public service announcement you know a call to action if you will uh we have to find this individual because he is indeed a shoplifter don't know if he's a habitual offender, but as we learned from the amazing Spider-Man,
Starting point is 01:10:46 if you don't stop someone after they commit what you think is a petty crime, they will go on to do something even more diabolical in some cases. Rest in peace to Uncle Ben. Okay, if Peter Parker could have just gotten out of his feelings and stopped that robber after he robbed a wrestling promoter,
Starting point is 01:11:02 Uncle Ben would still be alive today. But we learned from that situation that with great power comes in west hollywood salute the circus of books drop on the clues bombs for circus of books i want justice for you all uh this case is not getting the news coverage it deserves i saw tmz uh cover it i saw the surveillance footage on tmz actually and the surveillance footage shows a grown man walking into this famed adult sex store and attempting to steal a dildo now listen i see how you perked up maybe now listen uh i know times are hard okay people are desperate all right folks are doing what they need to do to survive i don't know what this man's situation is at home maybe he suffers from

Starting point is 01:12:23 easily the problem with this guy and the reason he's getting donkier today is this man attempted to shoplift a 30 inch dildo i'm not making this up go to tmz look at the surveillance footage it wasn't just it wasn't just 30 inches as it was 30.7 inches in length it was about two feet wide and 11 inches at the base looked like it weighed about between 30 and 40 pounds it was huge there's only two animals alive that got something bigger than that okay trust me i googled all right on this computer you will see animals with the biggest penises i researched it this morning biggest penis in the animal kingdom is a blue whale penis that penis could be between 8 to 10 feet long if you're wondering what land animal it's the elephant six feet long so just think of that and then think of this 30 inch dildo two feet wide
Starting point is 01:13:10 11 inches at the base and think about how crazy this guy looks trying to shoplift this out of circus of books in west hollywood it also retails for 700 okay i just want to know who or what this was for okay is this man dating she-hulk or her cousin bruce banner now you got to go watch the video because the cashier actually goes after this man i mean as soon as they notice the penis heist going down the cashier goes after him and then the video cuts back to the cashier carrying the 30 inch dildo on his shoulder okay now this shoplifter took the expression go big or go home way too literal. But we have to find this man.
Starting point is 01:13:47 OK, we cannot have this man running up in sex stores stealing sex toys. OK, so if you know who this man is, please contact Slong Swiper dot com. All right. And in the meantime, just give him the sweet sounds and the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Times are hard out here, guys and gals. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:10 Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes. Now, since we have the Honorable Judge Ebony K. Williams. Last theme music. Presiding. They just announced she has a court show coming out. Brand new syndicated. Equal justice.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Daytime court show. Equal justice with Judge Ebony K. Williams. Now, what makes an attorney a judge, a judge attorney? How do you become a judge if you're an attorney? It's TV envy. I can't believe you asked that. I didn't know.
Starting point is 01:16:32 I just wanted to make sure. I didn't know. I didn't know. No, but you have to be licensed to practice, and I'll ask you for what? Mediate. So we can arbitrate. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yes. Any licensed attorney can arbitrate, which is what we do on television. Okay. Well, you know, we do Breakfast Club Court here on The Breakfast Club. Correct. And the past couple of days before Ebony K. Williams, our guest co-host was Miss NeNe Leakes. Yes. NeNe Leakes stopped through.
Starting point is 01:16:53 And NeNe was up here yesterday, and NeNe made some comments that, you know, went crazy viral. They were all online yesterday. And we're wondering, was she hating? Or not? Or was she speaking some subjective truth? Can we hear it? So the side piece was going to become famous off of them
Starting point is 01:17:11 but are they famous? Who? Robin and Giselle? I think she's talking about her. Her and her husband. She said that the lady was going to become famous off of them. And I was like, are they famous? Is the question.
Starting point is 01:17:27 Yes. Robin and Giselle on the Real Housewives of Potomac. They may be known. There's a difference between famous and known. And then we asked about New York Housewives. I thought a lot of them on the Real Housewives franchises were famous. They all famous? I would think so, especially on the Potomac and Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:17:46 They're famous? I thought so. Did you watch New York? New York Housewives? Uh-uh. Who was even on that show? I think they got rid of the whole entire cast
Starting point is 01:17:56 and they have a new cast. Ebony K. Williams was on the show. She was on it. I don't know her either. She'd be here this week. Is she famous or is she known? I think fame is subjective, right? You can be walking
Starting point is 01:18:05 through the mall with your 14 year old and she might lose it over a tiktok star so that tiktok star is famous to them you know right yeah all right so let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 was nene leaks our guest host yesterday was she hating because she basically was saying none of the house was famous oh she's been the truth she said it's a difference between known and famous. She actually called Robin starless. I disagree. I think fame, celebrity, it's all subjective. You know, like I said, there's kids out here that look at TikTok stars and YouTube stars that we may not know as the biggest things in the world.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Let's talk about it. 800-585-1050 will take your calls. When we talk about famous, I think of Michael Jackson. I think of Kevin Hart. I think of these huge famous people. That's old school famous, though. Like, that's old school famous. Beyonce's famous. When we talk about famous, I think of Michael Jackson. I think of Kevin Hart. I think of these huge famous people. That's old school famous, though. Like, that's old school famous. Beyonce's famous.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Rihanna's famous. So is Jake Paul. Do you know what I mean? So is a lot of the housewives. But are the housewives famous? Are they, are the fame as a Beyonce or Rihanna? I mean, that's different levels. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:19:00 That's famous to me. That's known and famous. There's stars, people on TV that's not as famous as Rihanna. What are you talking well we'll talk to emily k williams when we come back she's our guest host and she's the judge 805-85-105 on let's go the breakfast club can we read that evidence in court absolutely matter of fact um why don't you read it charlamagne we read out loud go ahead yeah you read that uh well this is from NeNe Leakes, February 3rd at 9.07 a.m. Are you still on the show?
Starting point is 01:19:30 Three days later, February 12th. Hello? And then two days from that, Ebony K. Williams responds, Hello, NeNe. Happy to chat in person. My cell is da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Let me know next time you're in New York City. Yo, NeNe is so crazy.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Like, are you still on the show? I can just hear the shade in her voice. Hello? So Nene does know who you are. And then she proceeded to call, per my instruction, or invitation, rather. Oh, she did call you? Yes, we had a very lovely chat. No.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Absolutely. Absolutely. So I'm not sure what was meant when she came on this beloved program and said i don't know her that's just factually not true um we so but i want to say this so that that is just a lie okay so you do know me nini and you do know that i was the first and only black house wife in fact i was named in nini's legal complaint i am actually a named person as an example of the racial discrimination that she alleged bravo of participating in she cites my example what i went through with ramona on camera so yeah the court documents say you do know me
Starting point is 01:20:36 nini okay so anyway so if you catch somebody lying does that mean their whole testimony is a lie i would argue that at closing envy i would argue that now you have no credibility on the topic. And you have a reputation for lying. So do we go to the jury at all? Is this a closed case? No, not case closed. Well, guilty of hating for sure. And guilty of lying because you absolutely reached out to me.
Starting point is 01:20:59 I didn't reach out to you. But also, the difference is, because I do agree with nini on the broader point of being known and being different things bravo housewives charlamagne specifically we have a particular rabid fan base they actually have a name for that bravo liberty that's called a bravo liberty so when your celebrity is rude if you were not a known individual but for being a housewife you're a bravo liberty they can be really really big celebrities like you say people standing in line people knocking people fainting people passing out all of that that's great i've seen them do that to giselle and robin at their
Starting point is 01:21:34 live podcast i believe that i believe i have seen that i've seen them do it with some of my dumb dumb cast mates so former cast mates so i believe that that is different though i was a shot that was a shot uh you saw this season anyways um that is different though y'all than being i would say a bona fide celebrity with an actual skill set i think that's the difference perhaps that nini was talking to and i'm because i'm not a hater i will credit nini as i have done on this show as i've done on the view uh you know which i guess hosts frequently, you know, that Nene transcended housewives as a genre. And I would say Nene became famous beyond being a housewife.
Starting point is 01:22:13 So Bethany Frankel definitely did. Bethany Frankel did. Nene did. Teresa? You've got... Teresa Giudice? No. You don't think so?
Starting point is 01:22:19 Absolutely not. I think beyond the housewives, Teresa is the Bravo Leopardy. I think you've got somebody like Garcelle Bouvet, who was a known celebrity pre being a housewife. That only added to her celebrity. I don't count her in the Kenya Moore of the world. Or Kandi, because they were known before. Oh, definitely not Kandi.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Kandi is a... Oh, yeah. Ah, Kenya... Yeah, I... That was my point. I think when you look at it, and maybe, like you said, a Bravo celebrity, but I always thought Kandi was famous because outside of just Housewives, she had a successful career with Escape. Kandi is an R&B legend. She wrote Scrubs.
Starting point is 01:22:51 She is famous. She's a Broadway producer. She's halfway to an EGOT. So she's famous. She's famous. Absolutely. So what about Robin and Giselle? They're Bravo celebrities.
Starting point is 01:23:02 I just was with Robin yesterday. Had a great conversation. Congratulated her on her new nuptials. I don't even think that they would argue with that point. I could be wrong. Let's go to the jury. Now, starless, I would say that's wrong. I think Giselle, I think Robin's a star. I think
Starting point is 01:23:15 Katie's a star. I think all those are stars. Make sure you listen to their podcast, Reasonably Shady. On the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network. Hello, who's this? Hi, Floor. Floor, good morning. What's your thoughts? You're in Breakfast Club Court. Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:28 So I definitely agree with Nene. I think there's a huge difference between being famous and being known. I mean, especially on the Housewives franchise, there's people that you can even recognize by taste, and there's some that you hear the name, and you're like, huh, who's that? Okay. Interesting. So you agree with nini thank you mama hello who's this hey it's kim kim good morning we're asking do you agree with me good morning good morning i just want to say first dj and the uncle charlotte i love you we listen to you every morning we love you here
Starting point is 01:24:00 in duval thank you now we love you more I totally understand that Nene might have been trying to throw a little bit of shade, but she's not wrong. I don't know none of those names. Man, okay. Big names. Beyonce, Michael Jordan, Martha Stewart. Who knows, man? That's famous.
Starting point is 01:24:20 But that's different. You're absolutely right. But even when we talk about that level of fame, you can name people. And we were talking behind the scenes. We were naming somebody like Quinta Brunson. We all love Abbott Elementary. Quinta's winning all the awards. But Quinta ain't as famous as Rihanna. No. At all. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:24:36 So it's level to that, too. Hello, who's this? Hmm? What's your name? Oh, my name is Casey Kearney. Hey, Casey Kearney. Now, we're talking Nene. She's in Breakfast Club Court right now. Or I should say Ebony K. Williams Court right now. What's your thoughts? Hating or not?
Starting point is 01:24:49 Oh, she hating. She hated. Just because you're well-known, it also kind of means you're famous. Because you can be well-known and not do a damn thing. Yes. But, like, if you're well-known, you're pretty much well-known at this point. Everyone's going to walk up to you and say, hi, I remember you. You're that guy who did something.
Starting point is 01:25:08 You're that guy who did something. You're that guy who did something. You got to do something. All right. Well, 800-585-1051. Sounds like we might have a mistrial. Breakfast Club, caught right now. We played the audio from Nene.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Is she hating or not? Let's talk about it. 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

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
Starting point is 01:29:55 And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Celebrity guest host, our guest host, Ebony K. Williams, joining us today. And we are in Breakfast Club Court. That's right. And today we're in court because of what? Because NeNe Leakes was our guest co-host the past couple of days. And she went viral for some comments that she made, what she called, you know, Robin Dixon Starless. And she said that, you know, some of the housewives, she said it's a dip between being famous and being known.
Starting point is 01:30:40 Some people said she was hating. Some people say she was giving some subjective truth. You know, our judge here, Ms. Ebony K. Williams, has a unique perspective, which she expressed. But what do you want to do? You want to go to the jury? Let's hear it again. Yeah, let's hear it. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:30:57 Yeah, like, again, I was a housewife of real housewives of New York City. The only black one of that cast. NeNe really is not credible to me in the conversation because when y'all ask her, you watch New York, you know, Ebony K. Williams. She said, I don't know her. We, you know, lie detector determined that was a lie. We've got the Instagram receipts to prove that. I'm also a named individual in Nene's legal complaint against Bravo. Anyway, I do think there is a difference between being a famous celebrity and being a Bravo-lebrity. When your notoriety, which I think is what you're talking about, Charlamagne, people know you.
Starting point is 01:31:25 You are notable. You are public. That has to be rooted in something other than housewives for me to consider you famous. Famous, I agree. Yes. I agree. Let's go to the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:31:37 Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Raina from Pearl Springs. Hey, Raina, good morning. We're talking Breakfast Club Court this morning. Is Nene hating or not? He's absolutely hating. All right. Why do you say that?
Starting point is 01:31:51 Well, I think that anyone who's well-known is famous. Reality stars are famous. TikTokers are famous. And maybe she's just mad she's not on the show no more. Okay. All right. You think that was the case, Ebony? She don't seem like she she's not on the show no more. Okay. All right. You think that was the case, Ebony?
Starting point is 01:32:09 She don't seem like she regrets not being on the show. I don't think she wants to be on the show anymore. I think Nene feels that the genre of reality TV owes her more credit and more obligation. And maybe that she hasn't really truly received her flowers. But if you say that, then you would have to say everybody does. You got to say New York because New York was one of the main ones. You don't remember New York? Of course I remember. Oh, you're talking about Tiffany.
Starting point is 01:32:31 I thought you were talking about Ramona now. Oh, no, no, no. You're talking about Tiffany. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I agree with that, though. Flavor Flav, New York, Nene. They absolutely kicked down the road.
Starting point is 01:32:40 Created a whole genre, really. Absolutely. Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Rico calling in from New Haven, Connecticut. Rico from Connecticut. We talking. Is Nene hating or not? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:32:51 She's definitely not hating. I think there is a big difference between fame and being very well known. I want to make a comment on what Charlamagne said. He said that, you know, TikTokers are very famous to these kids. Well, the kids know them, and I don't.
Starting point is 01:33:08 And we're all walking through the mall, and only this kid knows who that is. That person is very well known. That's not true, my brother, because I don't know if you ever heard of Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast is, like, really big on YouTube. Mr. Beast had, like, 10,000 kids in the mall in New Jersey. Now, you're not going to sit here and tell me just because you don't know who Mr. Beast is that 10,000 kids do that he's not famous. Well, yeah, that's one example of it.
Starting point is 01:33:31 But so, for instance, I would say someone like Cardi B, before she was famous, she was just very well known. Not everyone knew who she was, but a lot of people did. But now she's famous. Cardi B's famous. She's famous. She's famous in the traditional way that we know. But being that we knew Cardi way back then, we had Cardi hosting parties at CIAA in Charlotte, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:54 for our Breakfast Club Day party. And they was loving Cardi then. They was taking pictures with her and everything then. It was just a smaller scale. Yeah, it was way smaller scale, which means she was just very well known. When you walk through that mall, that mall might get shut down because you're a class boy. And that's the TikToker that you're responding to.
Starting point is 01:34:09 Yeah, the TikToker did it to her. Mr. Beast did that. By the way, there's not too many people who shut down malls, guys. You know what I mean? Like I said, I haven't seen it. I mean, in this era. No, because we have too much access to our celebs. That was like a what you call a crisscross, you know, that era That was like a, what you call it, crisscross.
Starting point is 01:34:25 You know, that era where, you know, when you came to the mall, that was our only access point to you. So we would shut it down. Now we can just watch you on our phones. Nah, but you know what? You know what though? Mr. Beast did announce and tease he was coming there. He didn't just pop up in the mall and went crazy. He wasn't just at Foot Locker.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Nah, he wasn't just at Foot Locker. But if Cardi B says, I'm coming to the mall, or J. Cole says, I'm coming to the mall, or Khaled, Khaled does it all the time. He comes in and he B says, I'm coming to the mall, or J. Cole says, I'm coming to the mall, or Khaled. Khaled does it all the time. He comes in, and he'll say, I'm coming to the sneaker store, and it's a zoo. We've seen the people impersonate. The person that was impersonating Lil Durk, didn't they shut the mall down, or they ran
Starting point is 01:34:55 out the mall or something, because too many people thought he was Durk, and he was chasing them? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right. What's the moral of the story? We should ask. So, what's the verdict?
Starting point is 01:35:02 What's the verdict? The verdict is guilty, on all counts. I just need a gavel. Guilty on all counts, Ms. Nalix. And I do, at the same time, the culture does owe
Starting point is 01:35:15 her tremendous debt for what she's done for reality. That's it. Word. All right. Does she go to jail? Does she get lashes?
Starting point is 01:35:21 What happens? Stop with the lashes stuff, bro. Jesus Christ. Just asking. All right. Are you into DN happens? Stop with the lashes stuff, bro. Jesus Christ. Just asking. All right. Are you into DNM? No, no, no, no. Well, we got rumors on the way.
Starting point is 01:35:32 We got to discuss Beyonce. Are you ready? Are you ready? Well, we'll tell you about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:35:43 It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God We are The Breakfast Club We got our guest host, Ebony K. Williams Joining us this morning What's up fellas? Let's get to the rumors, let's talk Tom Brady Rumor has it, rumor, rumor has it Call out a name, or you gossiping, or you chatty patty

Starting point is 01:42:30 right now, Bet on Black. Make sure you pick it up wherever you purchase your books. Phenomenal read, man. Amazon and all that. Like, it really, for anybody trying to not just even navigate their way through this industry, navigate their way through just different spaces. Being a black person in America. Yeah, because you weren't always in entertainment.
Starting point is 01:42:45 You were a well-educated lawyer. Correct. From college to corporate America. But sometimes a lot of us feel like you can't lead with your blackness. But no, you certainly absolutely can. And to me, that's what this book does. And that's the good news about today. Because of everything our people have done for us,
Starting point is 01:43:02 we get to lead and center blackness. Yeah, and I just want to put it out there today that today is Tyree Nichols' funeral out in Memphis. It's going to be on CBS News, I believe, at 11 a.m. And Vice President Kamala Harris is going there for a photo op. Vice President Kamala Harris. I don't know about for a photo op,
Starting point is 01:43:17 but yeah, she will be there in attendance. Reverend Al Sharpton will be there. Of course, Attorney Benjamin Crump, he's going to deliver the call for justice. And I know members of George Floyd's family will be there as well. I don't know if that's a good move for the vice president to go do. And the reason I say that's not a good move because they haven't kept promises. I mean, it's not their fault, but things like the George Floyd Policing Act,
Starting point is 01:43:39 I haven't even heard that into the conversation until now. We haven't spoken about that in the past year and a half. I mean, we have, but I haven't heard them speak about it. And I know that the family of Tyree Nichols, the family of George Floyd, I know they're going to be pressing her about that. Right.
Starting point is 01:43:53 Absolutely. And they don't want to hear all that lip service. Like, what are y'all going to do, finally? Right. You know? That's a lot of pressure, I would think. Now, Charlamagne, it's Black History Month, the first day of Black History Month.
Starting point is 01:44:04 It's also my wife's birthday, and we got a Black History Month moment.agne, it's Black History Month, the first day of Black History Month. It's also my wife's birthday.

When I think of Nashville, Tennessee, I think of country music. I know they call it Music City, and even if you Google Music City, Nashville, Tennessee pops up. Now, when I think of anything black Music City, and even if you Google Music City, Nashville, Tennessee pops up.
Starting point is 01:44:45 Now, when I think of anything black in Nashville, Tennessee, I can't help but call it Cashville, Tenneke, because that's what Young Buck used to call it when he was rapping with G-Unit. But dig this. In 1866, Nashville, Tennessee was blessed with Fisk University and formed at Fisk University. And formed at Fisk University were the Fisk Jubilee Singers. And in 1871, they introduced the world to slave songs. Today, we call those Negro Spirituals. It was November 16, 1871,
Starting point is 01:45:17 and the Fisk Jubilee Singers went to Oberlin College in Ohio. They performed before a national convention of ministers. It was at that event they sang spirituals and other songs that were associated with slavery. It was one of the first public performances of the secret music that African Americans sang in the fields and behind closed doors for generations. It
Starting point is 01:45:40 was powerful. In 1873 the Fisk Singers, they went on a tour in Europe. And while they were in Great Britain, they performed before Queen Victoria and Prime Minister William Gladstone. Queen Victoria said, the Fisk Jubilee Singers must come from a city of music. And in that moment, Nashville, Tennessee got the name Music City. I had no clue Music City ain't because of Kenny Chesney And Dolly Parton and dump truck Lanny Wilson Nah, nah It was those 11 Black Fisk Jubilee singers
