Starting point is 00:01:33 No. Yeah, twice. Where at? What church? Ain't got to stand at all. That had to be Jamal Bryant Church. Only Jamal Bryant Church was like that. Oh, don't talk about him.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Please don't talk about him. Why? Because he was the one who did the eulogy at Clay's funeral. He didn't do a good job? Uh-uh. He bombed. What? How do you bomb at a eulogy?
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah, the pastor bombed. You can't bomb at a eulogy. Oh, yes, you can. Unless you say the wrong person's name. How do you bomb? He did everything wrong. Long live OG Clay. What did you do wrong?
Starting point is 00:02:02 What did Jamal Bryant do wrong? He was talking about Donald Trump. At the funeral? At the funeral. Clay wasn't political? At all. That's why we were like, what are you talking about? What? And then he was showing pictures saying, yeah, Clay was married for 18 years to the same woman.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And they showed it up on the screen. It was the wrong woman. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. No, no. For real. That happened. For real. Did y'all boo him? Did y'all boo him? T. Stop it. No, no. For real. That happened for real. Did y'all boom? Did y'all boom? Oh, T.I. gave him the light.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Oh, T.I. gave him the light. Yeah, you know. That's funny as hell. You know when you're on stage and you're bombing as a comedian or your time, they give you the light. So T.I. gave him the light. T.I. gave the pastor the light of the universe. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Jesus Christ. T.I. had Bart in the T.I. went before the pastor and said what he said. So everybody was like, yeah. So when the pastor came up and couldn't follow that, he couldn't follow tips. So we gave him the life. How'd they put up the wrong picture? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I don't know who gave him the note about Clay. Because everything was just wrong. He saw all white man quotes and stuff. All white man quotes? Yeah, we like, bro, he must don't know. So the funeral home give you a refund back or give you some of the money back or something like that? They should. They should have because he was all messed up.

Starting point is 00:03:57 That's what she said. Thank you, beautiful yourself. Yes, ma'am. Glad to have you. Let's get into front page news. Thank you. Start off with some sports. Now, last night
Starting point is 00:04:05 The Nuggets beat the Lakers 132-126 And if you are Into the draft San Antonio Spurs Get the first pick Of the draft They get to draft
Starting point is 00:04:15 That alien Victor What about the boy What's his name The brother from France Victor Wimba Yeah yes He's like 7 foot 2
Starting point is 00:04:23 7 foot 3 Has like a 6 foot 9 He's like a big2", 7'3", has like a 6'9". He's like a big creative character on NBA something. So they have another huge center. So what, they had Tim Duncan. They had David Robinson. And now this young man. I mean, you can call him a center, but he play like everything.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, he play everything. All right, now what else we got? Taz, we talking about this AI hearing? Yes, celebrity tech CEO Sam Alton of OpenAI made his debut appearance before Congress on yesterday alongside two other artificial intelligence experts for three hours of questioning on how Washington should regulate the rapidly developing technology. Now, as with most hearings, the session offered more questions than answers. The biggest, of course, is if Congress has the
Starting point is 00:05:06 stomach for regulating a new industry at all. Now, here are the three big questions that came out of the hearing. Number one, do we need a new federal agency? I would say yes. Number two, who owns the data that AI trains on? And number three, how much will AI influence the 2024 election? Now, here is what some of Sam Alton had to say during his testimony. And let's take a listen and talk about it on the other side. I think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. And we want to be vocal about that. We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening.
Starting point is 00:05:40 It's one of my areas of greatest concern the the more general ability of these models to manipulate to persuade uh to provide sort of one-on-one uh you know interactive disinformation listen man i was watching cnn last night when they was doing a recap of uh that hearing and they didn't say anything that i haven't been saying the lower third yesterday on cnn was uh elon musk warning that uh ai there's a chance ai destroys humanity humanity so there's a chance something can destroy humanity why are we still going down that road can anybody tell me why i mean because you know if you really honestly think about it right all ai is not bad it's all not bad it's all not bad because some of it can be efficient some of it it can help. Some of it can help humanity.
Starting point is 00:06:28 But if it takes over humanity, that's where you have the problem. And who controls the A.I. is the problem. Do the pros outweigh the cons, though? That's the question. Like, I really don't understand how we can't see what's about to happen. We live in a world where folks can't even handle fake tweets. How are they going to handle A.I. and chat GPT? The lines of reality are already blurred. Now they're about to be obliterated. Yeah. He said that it was like Photoshop when Photoshop first came out and people didn't know what Photoshop was. And eventually over time they figured it out. No, we haven't.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yeah, we still haven't figured it out. But that's what he said in his testimony. But he said this is like Photoshop on steroids. And one of my main things that just upsets me is it's kind of like you get this brand new shiny toy and tell everybody to open it up and then say, oh, hold on, wait a minute. Before you play with it, it's going to destroy humanity. This should have been done prior to developing the technology. And in my opinion, you don't create it and then say, oh, it's a big mess. But I did want to give people a couple of tips because I did some additional research on how to determine if content generated is AI.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And just a couple of tips. One is the length of extensive sentences. They're normally shorter sentences. The repetition of words and phrases. The lack of analysis and originality. So those are things you can look for when you're looking at content and if that stuff is AI generated or not. None of that is going to work. We literally were passing around a fake Jerry Springer story all week long.
Starting point is 00:07:43 You couldn't tell me that story. You couldn't tell me that story wasn't real. We can't even handle stuff like that. But that wasn't AI. That was him acting. I know it wasn't, but that's my point. We can't even handle stuff like that. How are we going to handle AI?
Starting point is 00:07:53 Go ahead. No, I was just saying, I've seen it with his kids about Jerry Springer. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, that's crazy. I just want to know when they're sitting around at the table and stuff, because they sit around at the table and they come up with these great ideas you're talking about the powers that be yes those powerful white people those people yeah yeah so i was just wondering like what what just made them be like okay let's just do something that may destroy humanity or
Starting point is 00:08:17 they can just shake up the world i don't necessarily think they thought like that i think they thought like hey you know hey tractor you know, there's a problem with a tractor trailer driver might be falling asleep. So let's create something where we can drive our own trucks and don't have to worry about it. Not realizing that you're taking so many jobs from tractors, from truck drivers, or if somebody's doing a heart surgery, you know, if a doctor's hand is not as steady, you know, we create a machine that makes a steady type of hand. I don't think they necessarily thought they were, you know, destroying humanity. The biggest issue is what Taz said. What was number three, Taz? Number three.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah. Number three is the 2024 election. And they actually played a clip during the testimony of what it sounds like when somebody's voice is endorsing someone else. And so they use that as an example. And so this actually got a lot of bipartisan support so republicans and democrats are both at least on the same page with this but uh it has not been a resolution at this time i'm just saying this the last couple of months uh if you thought you saw misinformation run rampant in 2016 if you thought you saw misinformation run rampant in 2020 wait
Starting point is 00:09:18 till next year when you put chat gpt and ai in the mix in the presidential election well that should be banned like like if you use other people's voices and other people's anything without the... You should have to go to jail. If you use somebody else's voice for a song or to say, you know, I promote that person, you should go to jail for that.
Starting point is 00:09:37 So Timberland should go to jail for the biggie? When he did the biggie? If you use somebody else's voice for that, yes, you should be in trouble for that. You should be able to get sued. That's not right. That's not right without getting the proper approval from the estate. I don't think Timberland was putting it out to get paid. But if anything like that that's on iTunes, Tidal, any of those things, and it's AI, no, they should be able to get sued.
Starting point is 00:09:57 How are they going to prove it? Like, they're going to know? I mean, some of it you're going to know is fake. Like, when you hear Joe Biden say, if you niggas don't know whether to vote for me or Trump, you niggas ain't black. But you never know. He almost said it on the show. You never know. You never know with Joe Biden.

I'm talking about work. I have a song called Take Your Butt to School. Talking to the kids, telling them to go to school. Nice songs. They're playing around the world, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:17 They don't Spotify and stuff. But y'all need to play more positive stuff, man. Like KG. We need a better message out here. KG, why don't you spit some balls? Because I'm in Louisville, man, and it's killing every day. Huh? That's. KG, why don't you spit some balls? Because I'm in Louisville, man, and it's killing every day.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Huh? That's why I said, why don't you spit some balls while we got you on? All right. To pop the balls in the morning.
Starting point is 00:15:30 It's going to make you hard because your pants can't get down to your shoes. It's going to make you hard because you got a grilling
Starting point is 00:15:35 rocket in the tube. It's going to make you hard trying to look tough. When you're really not looking cool, you want to do something hard in
Starting point is 00:15:40 the home, take your butt to school. Now, go on to school and learn something. Don't be worried about being on the block trying to burn something because while the other cats is on the block having to earn something, you'll be educated, having the power to earn something. This is for your young cats. Pay attention while I'm speaking. It's the only thing done about education. It's like getting it. It's good to be smart. We owe every benefit because you can be from the street.
Starting point is 00:16:03 You ain't got to live in it. Go. I get pissed off at Lingo when he hit a grill, but I promise, little homie, that don't mean that you being real. You're like a positive mumble rapper. Like, we know that there's a message there. We just can't hear it all the time. Some of it made sense.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Okay, so go look I tell you what, Charlamagne. Go look the song up online and listen to it and then you tell me what you think. Eric is a comedian. You made her laugh. You got to be honest. It was trash.
Starting point is 00:16:31 It wasn't trash. I just couldn't understand her. It was trash, man. It was trash. It was positive, but it was trash. I can't call it trash. It's just like when somebody hand you a pamphlet of Jesus in the street. You can't be like, ain't this pamphlet whack.
Starting point is 00:16:40 It's a pamphlet of Jesus. You know what I mean? So you don't ever throw it out? No. Hell no. I don't take it. Because I don't want to throw it out. I just be likephlet of Jesus. You know what I mean? So you don't ever throw it out? No. Hell no. I don't take it. Because I don't want to throw it out. I just be like, oh, no, thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I'm muzzled. I'm muzzled. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is D from Orlando. Hey, what's up, D? Get it off your chest. Hey. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:16:59 You know, I actually wanted to get something off my chest about the John Moran situation. And I think what Charlamagne touched on, I believe it was yesterday or the day before, they need to get some men around him who have successfully done it, and they need to go tour the league in the NFL, and they need to show John Morant all the wasted talent for those who have tried to play it off in the streets. You need to see where Delonte West went, where all these other talents that have went to the streets, and they never
Starting point is 00:17:32 came back. Delonte West is not a good example because he had mental health issues. What I was saying was, you know, you can't use the excuse that John Moran is young because there's too many examples in the industry that he's in of people who've done it right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:17:47 He has to want the help. You just can't say, okay, I'm going to be your mentor. He has to want a mentor. He has to want somebody that's going to help him out and guide him. You just can't put a guy in his car and be like, this is a good guy. You can't. He's a grown-ass man at the end of the day. That's what I said.
Starting point is 00:18:00 He know right from wrong. At first, when he first did it, I was kind of like being kind of sympathetic for him and stuff like that. Sympathetic. Yeah, that's what you said. Don't worry about it. We got you. So,
Starting point is 00:18:12 but the second time, it's like I give up. Yeah, because the first time was a mistake. The second time was a choice. You know better. That's it. I wouldn't even have
Starting point is 00:18:18 no gun in my car. That's right. Especially you getting money, you getting paid. I mean, you're an athlete. You know, people looking up to you You have Like sponsors
Starting point is 00:18:27 And all this good stuff going Like bro Come on Just to be What you I don't get it I don't know if you want to be hard Or an image you trying to just
Starting point is 00:18:35 Make yourself look like To other people I don't know Yeah It's really just that simple And at the end of the day There's nobody responsible For Ja Morant
Starting point is 00:18:43 Except for Ja Morant Yeah Not his friends Not his dad Everybody talking about Ja Morant except for Ja Morant. Not his friends, not his dad. Everybody talking about Ja Morant hanging out with the wrong crowd. Seems to me like Ja Morant is the wrong crowd. Right, right. Because he don't. And then I'm about to put no pistol to his head and be like, do this, bro. He doing it himself.
Starting point is 00:18:56 That's right. Again, you did it again. That's right. Like, you don't care. That's right. Well, Erica Dutchess is here, our guest co-host.

We got our guest co-host Erica Dutchess here. And let's get into some front page. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Chef G and Sleepy Hallow. Rumor has it. Rumor.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Now, front page of the Daily News in New York City today, there's a picture of rapper Chef G. Now, rapper Chef G. Who is Chef G? I'm going to tell you. Rapper Chef G and Sleepy Hollow have been arrested yesterday. If you don't know them, you might know this song right here. I've never heard this record in my life.
Starting point is 00:19:59 No? No. It's like a top five record. Top five record where? In New York? Everywhere. I've never heard this record in my life. I never heard it.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Never heard Sleepy Hollow? Tip, tip, toe, da, da, da, da. I've heard of Sleepy Hollow. Well, they were arrested yesterday, and we have the actual report of why they were arrested. Prosecutors say those gang members shot at rivals in broad daylight and then bragged about it on social media. At the center of it all, two well-known rappers from Brooklyn. Rappers Chef G and Sleepy Hollow are accused of helping carry out violence against rival gang members in Flatbush
Starting point is 00:20:32 and Crown Heights. Police say they are members of the Crips. The two rappers were among 32 alleged gang members charged today in a 140 count indictment. The DA saying the gang is linked to 12 shootings and one murder, which was caught on camera. You know what's sad? I've never heard of Sleepy... Sleepy Hollow, Chef G and Sleepy Hollow? I never heard of Chef G.
Starting point is 00:20:52 The only reason I heard of Sleepy Hollow is because didn't he get released from prison earlier this year? I believe so, yeah. What? Yes, and they asked me to do an interview with him when he got released from prison. I never had heard of him until he... I was like, I don't even know
Starting point is 00:21:05 who that is. Yeah, well, the kids love him a lot and he has a bunch of huge records that are on stream and I mean,
Starting point is 00:21:11 I think that record streamed like 125 million, 200 million records. So, but they were arrested yesterday. 21 guns taken off the street in a huge gang suite. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:21 they've been hit with the Rico. But they did it themselves because they was on Instagram. They did? Didn't they say something about they went live? I didn't see you hear that part. What you saying? Read it again.
Starting point is 00:21:31 By the way, I ain't heard that either, but it sound about right in this generation. Yeah, what you... Read it again. I thought I heard something say... Well, they were charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. Play it again. Let's see if that's what was said. I thought I heard something about Instagram. in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree play it again prosecutors say those gang members shot at rivals in broad daylight and then bragged about it on
Starting point is 00:21:51 social media yeah at the center of it all two well-known rappers from brooklyn rappers chef jay okay retard yeah so yeah they spoke about it on social media i didn't told you i don't even like to talk about these brothers when they get in situations like that because i wasn't talking about them before i didn't even know who they were these brothers when they get in situations like that because I wasn't talking about them before. I didn't even know who they were. You know what I mean? That's why I was glad J. Cole, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:08 addressed that on that new record, All My Life, on the Lil Durk record. He said something similar to that. Like, you know, a lot of times these guys get killed or they end up in prison and then we mention them.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I wasn't talking about them before. Yeah. A little on the front page of the paper. Now, John Morant released a statement yesterday. He said, I know I've disappointed a lot of people who have had support of me. This is a journey, and I recognize there's more work to do. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions. I'm committed to continuing to work on myself.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You didn't disappoint me you disappointed yourself right right you got a little girl you know you got your family that's right you just that's just crazy to me now you thought you throwing away money you disappointing your generation of wealth that's you disappointing you ain't disappointing us yeah now adam silver who was the nba commissioner he spoke about this yesterday on ESPN. This is what he said. We talked directly about the consequences first before we got to a subsequent potential to have done something wrong. We were very focused on the misconduct that was in front of us at the time. And frankly, most of our conversation was about how incredibly serious the first incident was of waving you know a firearm on you know on social media again you know the and the consequences there an eight game suspension was pretty serious
Starting point is 00:23:34 and something that he at least to me seemed to take incredibly seriously honestly i was shocked when i saw this weekend that video now we're in the process of investigating it and we'll figure out exactly what happened to the best we can then. But I'm assuming the worst, you know, what's crazy to me is everyone who keeps making excuses for John Moran. Like, how are y'all okay with watching this brother just throw his life away?
Starting point is 00:23:59 You know, all this money, this brother is losing all the potential, you know, trouble and danger he's putting himself in. And y'all are making excuses for it. Instead of just saying, hey, man, hold yourself accountable. And let's really, really, really do better moving forward.
Starting point is 00:24:17 He's not going to do better moving forward if there's not consequences and repercussions to his actions. And he has to hold himself accountable in a real way. Because if you think the NBA is not about to come down hard on him, you're out of your damn mind. But you know what I was thinking about yesterday? So, you know, he does have a right to own a gun, right? That is your 2A amendment, right? But as a basketball player,
Starting point is 00:24:34 as rich as John Moran is and as famous as he is, would he really want to shoot somebody? I don't know. Would he really want to risk it all instead of just paying for security? But it's not even about just owning the gun it is the string of incidents that john morant has been involved in it's not just these two times he's flashed guns on instagram live and why are you just recklessly flashing guns do we not remember plexiglass birds salute the plexiglass birds but that's a remember
Starting point is 00:25:00 that situation well he wasn't flashing the gun he was just had it on him and it went off so you think something like that couldn't happen to john morant absolutely what are we talking about Remember that situation? He wasn't flashing the gun. He just had it on him, and it went off. It went off, yeah, in that club. You think something like that couldn't happen to John Morant? Absolutely. What are we talking about here? Even though he just got the gun, you already just thinking the worst. You know, perception is reality at times, you know. So I just don't get it.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Maybe y'all need to invite him up here to the show, because, you know, y'all have this platform, and men seem to open up a lot. You said there ain't no women calling up here. Ain't no women called up here today the show because you know y'all have this platform and men seem to open up a lot you said you said you say ain't no women calling and no women called up here today none at all i have not heard one woman vent today and i know we be going through a lot he mean this man just called his baby mama don't laugh for him i'm like dang bro the other guy want to be a rapper he like man play my music bro like what is going on oh erica said man these men this is a safe space for y'all because you and charlamagne be showing y'all other side

We got our guest co-host, Erica Dutch, is joining us this morning. And let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Now, some quick sports. The Nuggets beat the Lakers last night, 132-126. And the number one draft, he was getting the number one draft pick, will be the San Antonio Spurs. They about to draft that alien. Yes. Victor Wimbavaya.
Starting point is 00:27:05 That's right. I don't know how to pronounce that man. He's from overseas. I think he's from France. He's 7'2", 7'3". He has like a 6'9 wingspan. Tall as hell. He can dribble.
Starting point is 00:27:15 He can shoot. He gets busy. So it looks like San Antonio is going to be looking good next year. Wow. All right. Now, Tess and Figaro, good morning. Good morning. Now, we got to jump right into it now.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Sorority sues a U.S. university. Why? Yeah, they are suing a university because a trans woman got aroused in their company. A group. What? I was trying to go into my news voice. Tell me about when they were doing the, what's that? She's doing something with her fingers. This thing when they were doing the what's that? She's doing something with her fingers.
Starting point is 00:27:46 When they be doing that. When they stepping? No, this was in the bathroom. Oh, it's another one. A group of sorority sisters have filed a lawsuit against their college after a trans woman was granted permission to move into their sorority house. Now one of the members has
Starting point is 00:28:03 asked the sorority management to ensure that the house is preserved as a female-only safe space, and a number of members raised concerns about shared bathroom facilities, which have no locks. Now, Ms. Langford, who is 6 feet 2 inches, does not currently live in the house, but according to the residents, she has spent a significant amount of time there and has been granted permission to move in from September The women that have filed the lawsuit claimed that miss Langford has been visibly aroused in their When she was present now, here's what one of the members of Kappa Kappa Gamma had to say, and we'll talk about it on the other side. Man.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Are we going to hear the audio? Here's the audio. It's a weird, gut-wrenching feeling that every time I leave my room, there's a possibility that I'll walk past him in the hall, whatever setting that may be in. And it's never a pleasant encounter encounter and that's the scary part it's it's a weird feeling just to know that i could run into him anytime full access to the house but this just goes to show like we need women's spaces for that reason that is wow man that is wow go ahead here no what color is the um train i don't know i I don't know that. It sounds like a white sorority.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Let's play a game. Let's play a game again. Guess what race it is. The sorority sounds like a white sorority. But could you imagine waking up in the morning and then the trans woman wakes up in the morning. It's still a penis. And then the trans woman has a woody like most men do in the morning. And then she gets.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Man, if you got a penis and you around women and you know you get sexually aroused, that penis going to jump up whether you want it to or not. Right, right. And it depends on the color because the lady that was speaking, I could tell she was a white lady. So if the trans were kind of black and she's seeing that big old black thing that you said that we rising. The penis. Yeah. She probably get a little disturbed because it's probably kind of tempting to.
Starting point is 00:30:09 You said that the sorority want the trans woman in the house or did that law or whatever force them to have to bring her in? No, they actually admitted her to the sorority. And so this is actually someone that, yeah, and they're having a back and forth with leadership uh leadership has said that basically you know we treat i'm paraphrasing we
Starting point is 00:30:30 treat everybody fair and you know a trans woman should have an opportunity to pledge as well and be a part of the sorority so uh that that's the larger issue and then well i don't mean to say large issue that sorority shouldn't complain now you get what you ask for yeah and you're gonna see that a lot across the board though um because there's been a lot of folks who have talked about you know they've admitted a lot of gay folks to you know male sororities and you know obviously you have gay people across the board we all know that but there's always been this slippery slope of what happens next when trans uh folks also want to be in sores so this person is actually a part of the sorority uh but the problem was they said they don't feel like she should live in the house with them yeah i don't feel like the gay issue would be as complicated as the trans issue because i mean if you're a gay man you're still a man so you you know you
Starting point is 00:31:21 wouldn't you would a male sorority you know what I mean but it's the trans woman issue you bring a penis into that sorority house it's going to be some woodies in a month but it's a trans I'm confused because I just went to
Starting point is 00:31:32 they had in Atlanta for the strength of the woman festival they had a proud ball and that was my first time ever going to like
Starting point is 00:31:42 something like that ever and you from Atlanta? I'm from Atlanta and you ain't never been to a proud ball? I ain't never been to no proud no no proud boy and when i say they was like stunting like dripped out dressed to the teeth i mean them girls was doing it and i didn't see no print no i didn't see nothing i was looking god yeah and i and just to your point uh charlene when you said you said you don't think the gay issue would be an issue, I just want to point out that speaking of Atlanta and Morehouse, remember early on, back in 2009,
Starting point is 00:32:14 they had issues, it was a big issue about cross-dressing, about gay men coming to class in heels and purses or pocketbooks, as Amy calls it. So that has been something that they've talked about on appropriate attire policy as well so you would think that it may not be an issue but it has been you know some concern it could be a distraction i guess is what you're saying i guess yeah you know that by now yeah but if they don't have a dress code it's hard to say what somebody can wear if there's a dress code you gotta you know how to you gotta stay with the dress code guidelines but if there's no dress code and somebody wants to wear heels they can wear heels there's a dress code you gotta you know how to you gotta stay with the dress code guidelines but if there's no dress code and somebody wants to wear heels they can wear heels they can do whatever they want well they never had a dress
Starting point is 00:32:48 code for Morehouse men saying not to wear heels you know so that's the that's the whole thing changing the dress code and how do you change the dress code now to adjust to the diversity yeah dress code wouldn't bother me but them hard penises just walking around I can see how that can be a distraction Everybody involved But just imagine your daughter's in a sorority And there's a bunch of hard penises in the sorority house But your daughter's telling you I have a problem with this Your daughter, the girl is saying
Starting point is 00:33:13 I have a problem walking through the hall And seeing a hard penis I want to know why is it hard all the time What you mean? She got a penis around all these women But I'm saying He don't like women though like that you don't like you're not confusing i don't know some trans like like
Starting point is 00:33:30 women yeah no to be a trans woman it's trans women like doing like the stuff like he ain't Oh my goodness. Yeah, woo, woo. You know what I'm saying. What is it? Listen, I don't have no sympathy, as Erica said, for that sorority. Because they knew what they was getting into. Yeah, we got them in there, so don't be mad now. Because somebody don't need a flip or something. I made them rise up. And if you didn't know what you was getting into, you know now. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Jesus Christ. All right, well that is front page news. That's right. Make sure you check out Teslin Figaro's podcast, The Scrape Shot, No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. All right. And when we come back, DJ Cassidy will be joining us. I'm sure you saw his Pastor Mike show on BET,
Starting point is 00:34:18 and we're going to kick it with him next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Who we got?
Starting point is 00:34:32 DJ Cassidy. Cassidy, what's up, brother? How are you, sir? Blessed black and highly favored. How are you? I'm very well. How are you, Envy? I'm doing well. I don't believe you're a real person, Cassidy. I believe you're artificial intelligence. I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:34:44 You move very robotically. I'll artificial intelligence. I'll take it. You move very robotically. I'll take that. I'll take that. Intelligence, anything with intelligence is a good thing. True, true, absolutely. I'll take intelligence. So for people that don't know who DJ Cassidy is, who is DJ Cassidy? Where did you get your start and what influenced you to be a DJ? That's a great question. I asked my parents for turntables for my 10th birthday. Now where are you from? For people that don't know, I'm from New York City. We're at New York. I'm from the Upper East Side
Starting point is 00:35:09 of Manhattan. Okay. I was always infatuated with hip hop since as far as I can remember. And I want to turntables as my way to contribute to the culture. Now, what was your first artist? What was your introduction into hip hop? Like what made you start loving so oddly enough when I was I have a memory from when I was about three or four years old and I was at my grandmother's house I was napping in my stroller and I remember waking up from that nap and the movie breaking was on tv at what age three or four years old you remember I remember this I can actually picture it okay and. And somewhere along the line, my grandmother recorded the movie for me
Starting point is 00:35:48 and I became infatuated with that movie and, you know, for those who don't know, that movie is a West Coast movie. So kind of an odd, you know, introduction into hip hop
Starting point is 00:35:59 but I soon thereafter became infatuated with Run DMC and Jam Master Jay. And then I learned about Grandmaster Flash, Cool Herc, and Afrika Bambaataa. I was never into comic books or sports. So those three guys became like my superheroes. They were larger than life.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And I was a hip-hop kid. And I asked my parents for two turntables and a mixer for my 10th birthday. DJ Cassidy was born. And I thought to embrace hip hop, you had to unembrace everything else. And I only wanted to play hip hop music. Why DJing and not rap? Like what made you go towards the DJing aspect?
Starting point is 00:36:36 To be honest, I don't know. I just became infatuated with that. I saw it and it called me. And those same two Technique 1200s that i got for my 10th birthday are the same two i have today oh so your parents bought you technique 1200s for your technique 1200s jesus christ and they're the same technique 1200s that i have today uh i got gemini's is my first turn table jesus christ was it difficult for you uh starting off djing because people would look from the outside and say well he's not black not black. He's not from the culture. Was that difficult
Starting point is 00:37:08 back then doing those type of parties and venues and events? You know, I don't think it was difficult. I just, you know, I was always myself. I always wanted to contribute to the culture and to celebrate the culture. And I found that if I was true to myself and true to the music, that everything would pan out the way it was meant to be. And I think it did. Did being white help you? It's a very interesting question. I guess my first answer is I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I think when you're a fish out of water, sometimes you stick out. And when you stick out, perhaps it's easier to get attention at first. And then it comes down to how you deal with that attention and what you do. I remember first hearing of you didn't know who you were. Right. But you're retiring who you are. Right. Because you were known around the city with the hat that you wear now and usually a bow tie. Was that something that you wanted to do? Like that was that that was your so people so you would stand out from everybody else yeah so the boater hat started a long time ago at this point i don't even remember when not in my teens but at some point in my 20s um i always wanted to to to look like something i always thought that when you were on stage
Starting point is 00:38:22 that it wasn't only important how you sounded, but how you looked. Because the people that I looked up to looked like something. If you draw a silhouette of Michael Jackson, you don't need any facial features. That's true. Everyone around the world recognizes an outline of his body based on his pants, which were short, and his hat sometimes, and the way he stood on his toes. And the same with Run DMC.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And those are my idols. You know, you could draw them. You know, to this day, if an alien came from outer space and said, what is hip hop? Even through the evolution of hip hop and style and fashion, I would still probably show them a picture of Run DMC. To me, that still looks like hip hop. Obviously, you know, it'shop. Obviously you know it's completely evolved you know the way we dress and walk and talk but I would
Starting point is 00:39:11 still probably show them a picture of Run DMZ. You know when you look look yourself up or we google you the first thing one of the first things that says is you were founded by Diddy. So how did was Diddy one the one that that pushed you to the forefront where you founded by Diddy? Did Diddy find you? Explain that story, how you and Diddy's relationship is so good. Puffy had a had a profound effect in my life. I was 19 years old, DJing at a club in New York called Lotus on 14th Street and 9th Avenue. And it was the hottest club in New York. And I had just got a night there. But it was like the whack night in like the basement.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And I was playing the whack room on the whack night on a rainy night. And it was like 3 in the morning. And I'm playing the soul classics of the 70s and 80s. So for those who don't know what that means, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Luther Vandross, you know, Shaka. And Puffy comes out of the corner of the room and starts dancing by himself. And, you know, for a 19-year-old at that point in the year 2000, that's like, you know, God just walked to the dance floor,
Starting point is 00:40:14 the king of New York, the king of all parties, the king of hip-hop. And I remember him dancing past 4 a.m. and the manager of the club coming up to me and saying, I assume you want to keep going. I'm like, yes. He walks out around 5 in the morning, walks by the DJ booth, and says, who's the DJ? I say, I'm the DJ.
Starting point is 00:40:31 And he says, who's been here all night playing all these old records? I said, me. So he looked at me crazy. Because you were white. And young. And young. And young. Yeah, both, probably.
Starting point is 00:40:42 And he wrote down his name and number, Puffy and a 917 number on a napkin and said, call me tomorrow. So I was a freshman at NYU. Did he have a heart on it too? Or just? No. Stupid, man.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Napkin, yeah. So I was so nervous to call. Finally, I called and I got a voicemail. It said, God is the greatest, beep. I stuttered through this message. I didn't know what I said. It was the most inarticulate message I've ever left in my life. So I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:41:08 He's not going to call back, but all right, it's a start. So went back to class, came out of the next class, and I had a voicemail from an assistant saying, hi, I'm calling for Sean Puffy Combs. Please call us back. So I took the train back to my mom's. I said, mom, he called me back. I locked my cell phone and I called back.
Starting point is 00:41:24 And I was like, hi, it's DJ Cass. I said, and said hold on please and he came right on the phone wow he's like yo what's up playboy i'm like what's up puff you know like i had no idea what to say and he's like um how old are you i was like 19 i think i was 19 19 and he said um how do you know how to play those records like that and i said like what he goes, like you live them. And I didn't know at the time what that meant. And now in retrospect, probably one of the greatest compliments I've ever received. All right, when we come back, we got more with DJ Cassidy. You know him from his Pass the Mic show on BET.
Starting point is 00:41:59 So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with dj cassidy you know he has to pass the show on bet and now he's taking it on tour who is the biggest person you've played for would you say it's well certainly obama i was the first dj to ever play a presidential inauguration i was the first dj to ever play at the white house i d DJed Barack Obama's first inauguration, second inauguration, 50th birthday.
Starting point is 00:42:25 How was that call? That kind of call was an evolution. It wasn't him who requested me the first time, but by the second time, it was. Gotcha. You were the only DJ? Only DJ at all these things. His 50th birthday at the White House,
Starting point is 00:42:40 Michelle's 50th birthday at the White House, a random party at the White House with Prince just because they wanted to have a party with me and Prince. I mean, I remember getting a call from the social secretary of the White House saying the president is planning a party for the first lady's 50th birthday, but he wants to make sure that you're available
Starting point is 00:42:55 before we choose a date. I mean, mind-boggling phone calls. How much did you charge the president? I don't. Yeah, like you can't charge Barack. I don't. I would. You got the budget. I didn't. How much would you can't charge Barack. I don't. I would. I didn't. You got the budget.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I didn't. How much would you have charged? Because I know it had to cross your mind. I, you know, don't like talking about money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But those, you know, I don't say those things lightly. You know, I spit them out. But those nights at the White House, of which there were over a dozen, were the greatest nights of my life.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I mean, I remember standing in the red room next to the party room, calling my grandmother, saying, mama, I'm at the White House in the red room. The president's about to announce me on stage. And she burst out in tears. The most surreal feeling to be there. The president used to introduce you? Yep.
Starting point is 00:43:40 At his 50th birthday, Janelle Monae performed. And like you'd imagine, ladies and gentlemen, Janelle Monae. Janelle, thank you so much. This is so amazing. I'm bringing to the stage my favorite DJ like that. I thought D-Nice was Barack Obama's favorite DJ. He could have more than one. I guess. It's a big compliment just to hand out to people. You know what I mean? I mean, at his 50th birthday, I'll tell you a quick story.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I get a tap on the shoulder. I'm about to go on. Same night. Get a tap on the shoulder. I'm about to go on. Same night. Get a tap on the shoulder. Stevie Wonder wants to talk to you. So Stevie comes up to me and he goes, Cassidy, I want to surprise the president and jam with you. So I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. He goes, I want to do signed sealed. Can you drop a beat for me?
Starting point is 00:44:17 He straight up walks on this riser as the president's announcing me. No talk of what we're doing. I have nothing queued up in Serato. And the president's like, oh, my God, I think we have a surprise. Stevie Wonder and DJ Cassidy, you ready? And it happened. In 60 seconds, I'm thinking, what could I drop, loop, instrumental? What do I have for signs to deliver?
Starting point is 00:44:40 So I pull a Billy Squire big beat. Guys know what that is? No. Okay. Billy Squire was used for Run DMC, we go and for Jay-z 99 problem, okay Okay, so for those listening it's a rock song from the 70s But you know it from these epic songs 99 problems here we go The first four bars is the illest drum loop of all time
Starting point is 00:45:02 Similar tempo to sign sealed whatever that is 95 BPM, I don't know. I pull a Billy, this is all happening in 30 seconds. I pull a Billy Squire big beat. Chika chika boom, ba ba boom boom, ba ba boom, ba pep. And I don't have a loop set. So I'm actually going back and forth every four bars. Because you know you would just have a loop, I wouldn't have to do it live. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Nothing prepared. Stevie starts playing the chords to Signed, Sealed, Delivered. At that moment, I was like, I could die tonight. Question, why not just play Signed, Sealed, Delivered as the DJ? Well, he said drop a beat. I don't know. I got the impression he wanted some kind of cool improvisational. He didn't want to sing over himself.
Starting point is 00:45:39 But yeah, you're right in theory. I don't know. I got the impression that he would have looked at me like, that's all you could come up theory. Gotcha. I don't know. I got the impression that he would have looked at me like that's all you could come up with. So I'm going table to table like Jam Master Jay did at the Funhouse in 1983 to the one recording of
Starting point is 00:45:52 Here We Go by Run DMC which is not a studio. You know, it's like at the club. And I turn kind of like I pivot my face. I'm facing the crowd but I pivot to my left and it's Jay-Z, Chris Rock and Spike Lee
Starting point is 00:46:03 nodding their head like this. With that mean face we get in hip hop when we love a beat. And I just go, this might be the greatest moment of my life. Wow. Wow. And you was one of the people who, you know, during COVID you were innovative and you came up with the Pastor Mike concept. Yes. How did that come about?
Starting point is 00:46:21 So literally about three years ago, I'm FaceTiming with my friend and mentor, Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire. And so we were FaceTiming in the pandemic and it was late one night. And for those who don't know Verdine White, he's like the long hair guy in Earth, Wind & Fire, bass player, founding member, very fly. So he's sitting on his couch in like black silk pajamas or something. And the Earth, Wind song, That's the Way of the World comes on my speakers. Very low in the background.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Hearts of fire, create love, desire. And Verdine starts singing along. Like just, oh, hey, my song's playing. And I got chills. That song gives me chills anyway. But it's like this crazy time in the world. And Verdine starts singing along. And a light bulb went off.
Starting point is 00:47:05 I was like, what if I could find a way to give people this feeling of connecting with their musical icons and heroes? And I immediately saw past the mic. I was like, Verdine, I got to call you back. And I called my editor. And I'm like, Ian, if I sat at the turntables and dropped a record, could someone sing along in real time? And he goes, no, because they hear the music a few seconds later. So when you hear their vocal, it won't be matching with the music. I said, we have 24 hours to figure out how to make this work.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And we figured it out. Everyone thought I was recording Zoom. You can't record Zoom if you trigger the music on Zoom and the other person hears the music and sings. When you get it back, it's not going to be in time. So we cracked a code and I started calling all my legendary friends of the 70s and 80s and put together Pass the Mic Volume 1 with all these icons of the 70s and 80s. And honestly, I pitched it to every website to premiere it. Just premiere it. We're not talking TV. Put it
Starting point is 00:47:59 on your homepage for an hour. Nothing. BET, Essence, Vibe, Complex, no one wanted it. And I sent the video to Steve Rifkin, who for those who don't know, legendary music impresario, Loud Records, Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb T, Big Pun, Akon. And a dear friend, he watched it, called me and said, this is going to change your life. And it did. And I put out volume one. After the first three episodes, there were over 100 artists on three episodes Steve Rifkin bought it to Jesse Collins and the next thing you know it's a BET series of specials and I did seven BET specials of the show and after 10 episodes there were 220 iconic R&B and hip-hop stars on the show I'm glad you explained that because you know a lot of people
Starting point is 00:48:43 feel like you saw what Dean Nice was doing during the pandemic and you kind of jacked what he was doing to create Pastor Mike. But I'm like, I feel like they were doing two different things. Yeah, it was two very different things with a similar spirit. And they were happening around the same time. And I started filming Pastor Mike, I think in April. It didn't premiere until July. First of all, it took me two months to make. I had to figure out the technology. And then once I made it, I think in April. It didn't premiere until July. First of all, it took me two months to make. I had to figure out the technology. And then once I made it, I didn't know what to do with it.
Starting point is 00:49:09 It's not like I had a YouTube page with like a million subscribers. So the spirit, I think, was very similar. The spirit using iconic hip hop and R&B to bring light to people during a dark time. And no one did that better than him. What he did in his kitchen, started in his kitchen, was magical.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And I've looked up to D for many years. I was a fan of D as a rapper before I ever met D. I met D in my low 20s, and we've had a friendship ever since. Who started the hats? You're nice wearing those hats, too. I couldn't tell you. I know when I started them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:49 But I don't know who started wearing fedoras first. Is the show still on BET, Pastor Mike? No, so after the 10th episode, I decided to end it. It was clearly time to take it on the road. So July 21st, I'm bringing the second installment in a series of one night only events to what I think is the most iconic concert venue, certainly in the country and
Starting point is 00:50:14 probably in the world, Radio City Musical. Wow. Because hip hop turns 50 on August 11th, I decided to unite 25 icons of the golden era of hip-hop all on one stage. Who you got? Who you got? Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh, Rock Him, Slick Rick, Black Sheep, Brand Newbie, and CL Smooth, Dana Dane, Lords of the Underground, EPMD, Foo Schnickens, Grandmaster, Melly Mellon, Scorpio, Kid N Play, Cool Mo D, Curtis Blow, MC Search, MC Shan, Audio 2, Moni Love, Nice N Smooth, Onyx, Roxanne Shante, Special Ed, The Sugarhill Gang, Tretch of Naughty by Nature, and special surprise guests.

Starting point is 00:54:49 It seems like the car show has been denied permits to actually have the show. Who you call yesterday, Amy? Who you call? Who you call? Tell the truth. Who you call? Now, they're reporting that, you know, the neighbors were pretty upset because they said there was a lot of traffic brought to the area last year
Starting point is 00:55:06 and they said it brought the traffic to a complete standstill. I can see you eating a banana top. I don't like this. I'm going to drop a dime on this. It did. I stole the street from Red Ross. You do? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Oh, so you live in that neighborhood? Mm-hmm. So when it's a car show, is it a problem? It was horrible. Damn. According to documents obtained by XXL, the permit was denied on Tuesday Yesterday May 16th by the county
Starting point is 00:55:28 Because it is not in compliance with the Fayetteville County zoning ordinance Now the resident of the neighborhood Erica Why was it horrible First of all it's an old national I don't know if you're familiar with old national Like in Fayetteville
Starting point is 00:55:43 That part of Fayetteville turns into, it's a part of Old National. Okay. And the street is so narrow. It's just one little street. Like, one long street. So, all those cars, there's nowhere to go. There's nowhere to put them. Like, even though it's a parking lot, it's a parking lot, like, across the street from where Rick Ross stayed.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Like, it's a plaza. It'd be so full. They'd already be full they'd already be full by like i think people be staying out overnight damn so you're just trying to get home like it might be trouble but you're just trying to get to your house yes yes damn because it's one it's just a one look like this is one street and all the cars parked on the side parked on the other side then you got trucks you got food trucks. Yeah. So it is kind of hard. But, I mean, I hate that for him because it do be lit. It be lit.
Starting point is 00:56:29 I heard he's still doing it, though. But Ross said he going to do the show regardless. Breaking news, breaking news. The Rick Ross Car Show, June 3rd, goes on. It must goes on. It's a private event on private property with VIPs, and you're invited. Tickets still available online. It's going to be a private event on private property with VIPs and you're invited. Tickets still available online. It's going to be a beautiful event.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Shout out to the beautiful city of Fayetteville. The success feels so much better when you go against everybody. Oh, man, it's nothing like when you winning and know you did it without them. Now, can he do it without a permit? Because, I mean, like he said, it is his private property, right? I don't know. He said a private location in a private. I think he probably just going to do it somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Because you don't want to mess with Fayetteville police. It's just like. Yeah, but my car show in Memphis is still going down at the same venue, same place. It is May 28th in Memphis. We're going to have calls from Young Dolph, calls from 50 Cent, Key Glock, and myself. And then Houston, we're doing it at the same venue.

Starting point is 00:58:51 I mean, do he got a point, Envy? I mean, what prizes do you give at your car show? I mean, I just want to know, do he have a point? Answer Erica's question, Envy. Does he have a point? No, we don't actually give away trophies. Ours is more community-based. So if your mother's Ford Fusion, what'd you give your mother?
Starting point is 00:59:10 Yeah, Ford Fusion. If she wanted to put her car in the show, she could. If Charlamagne's mom wanted to put the Honda Civic in the show, she could. It's not just about balling. It's about your first car that you ever got that you put your money and your time to. We want to see those cars. We're going to have the Ferraris and Bugattas, but it's a little bit of everything. So we don't do trophies.

I definitely don't sell no pre-rolls in the back. What are you talking about? It's a kid family event. What are you talking about? But that's good.

I'm a donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time get donkey of the day. You are a donkey.
Starting point is 01:02:48 It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlemagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you.
Starting point is 01:03:02 This is a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day goes to Wyoming you. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day goes to Wyoming's Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter and the University of Wyoming. If you haven't heard, they are being sued by their own. Yes, seven members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter are suing the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter and the University of Wyoming after a trans woman was granted permission to move into their sorority house. I can't make this kind of stuff up. These young ladies went on Megyn Kelly to discuss. Let me hear some of it. Imagine what it was like for you gals, Hannah, in there dealing with this obvious man, but also one who's clearly getting aroused by just being around you. Can you give
Starting point is 01:03:41 us some idea of what that felt like for you it's a weird gut-wrenching feeling that every time i leave my room there's a possibility that i'll walk past them in the hall um whatever setting that may be in and it's never a pleasant encounter and that's the scary part it's it's a weird feeling just to know that i could run into him anytime, full access to the house. But this just goes to show like we need women's spaces for that reason. Now, the reason I'm giving the Wyoming chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma and the University of Wyoming the donkey of the day is because the leadership of the sorority reportedly, allegedly, according to the lawsuit, told members that if they have issues with miss langford that they can just drop out that's not how any of this should work okay this is what this is when i don't
Starting point is 01:04:30 understand inclusion because i thought inclusion meant creating a safe space for everyone i thought inclusion meant making everyone feel comfortable is it really inclusion if you make the trans woman feel comfortable and safe with disregard the feelings of the other women in the sorority. These women told Megyn Kelly that they understand that trans women need to be protected and have their own space. I believe majority of us feel the same way. But the women argue that trans women, such as Ms. Lankford, moving into their house is not the answer. Look, I don't know what the answer is, but I don't understand how we live in a society that screams, listen to women, believe all women, but then a group of women are telling you this makes them uncomfortable to have this young lady uh walking around with a hard
Starting point is 01:05:10 penis and we just tell them if you don't like it then drop out why can't we have a conversation about this okay i can totally understand the sorority accepting the trans woman into the sorority but then after having this trans woman in the sorority and at the sorority house if the woman in the sorority are saying hey youority house, if the woman in the sorority are saying, hey, you know, we are coming out the shower with just towels on and this trans woman is just staring at us. And these women are saying this young lady is visibly aroused. They can see a little poke coming through and that makes us uncomfortable. How are we then willing to punish the women that are complaining? Shouldn't we be listening? Shouldn't we be trying to figure out a way to include everyone without excluding anyone?
Starting point is 01:05:46 You can't promote diversity and inclusion, but then not include everybody. OK, this feels like nobody cares about, you know, trying to do what's right. It just feels like everyone wants to push an agenda. And if several women are to the point where they are suing their own sorority and their own school and they are going on a press run to discuss their issues and maybe maybe we should listen okay in the lawsuit the plaintiff alleges that uh miss lankford is sexually interested in women and uses tinder to meet them and witnesses cited in the complaint said they've seen lankford sitting alone in private areas of the sorority house where she can get a close look at women walking by with a and she has a visible erection sometimes a pillow sits on langford's lap by the way that is
Starting point is 01:06:27 an og man move all right there's nothing worse than getting an erection okay well you're not supposed to get an erection and praying nobody asked you to come here okay so then you got to stand up and figure out what to do with your penis so if there's a pillow around you're gonna grab it to cover that thing up but that's not what i'm trying to get across here all i'm trying to say is you want to accept everybody i get it okay you Okay. You want to accept Ms. Langford. I get it. But when several members of the sorority start to feel like it's starting to get harder and harder and harder and harder to be around Ms. Langford for all these reasons they addressed in this lawsuit, can we at least listen and have a discussion without them allegedly being told if you have issues with Ms. Langford, you can just drop out? Come on, we're smarter than that, right?
Starting point is 01:07:10 Please give Wyoming's Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter the sweet sounds of the hammer tones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey Of the day Yeehaw Yeehaw Maybe this lawsuit will, you know, make a conversation happen. Maybe this is the only way to have a conversation. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Or can they require her to wear like different types of underwear or pants that covers the erection or something or maybe not you know I don't know just tape it up nobody tapes it up we don't tape ours up nah we use the elastic around the sweatpants and put it to the side hold it up yeah I'm somebody like trans though they do they tape it up
Starting point is 01:07:59 oh okay cause he's a trans trans woman I don't know. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Shout out to everybody on BET.

Starting point is 01:14:21 Okay, let me let you know. First off, let's get things first. This is Scam Atlanta. Home of the scammers and the finesses. If you've been here long enough, you're going to get a little finesse skills. Pastor Brian thought he could be like, oh, I'm going to do this. But he just finessed it. He got the assignment 24 hours ahead of time. He didn't do his research.
Starting point is 01:14:39 The most you could have done is have the right pictures and everything. Like, come on, dude. I'm not going to lie. The right picture is the most egregious thing I heard. That's wild. Lord have mercy. I know Clay's wife was mad.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Yeah, I was like, who is that? And then we found out later on, it was a lady who Clay did a podcast with back in South Carolina. Yo, stop it.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Stop it. Stop it. I'm gonna fight you right now. No, for real. What Clay was doing, like, he stayed in Southolina and he used to work there he was on a podcast and it was one of the latest from the podcast no real big bro that's why could you imagine that picture go up and it ain't your wife and it's it wasn't we all like

Did nobody know? We had to do our own research. Lord have mercy. There was so much going on at Clay Funeral, man. Like, Clay was a character. Y'all know he was a character, too. Absolutely. He was so funny. So I know he was up in heaven just laughing.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Dying laughing. But I felt like he wanted me to say something. I felt like I was supposed to tell Pastor. So what would you have said? So say it now. What would you have said? I just wanted to tell Pastor Jamal Bryant, I want to say, bro, stop. Stop.
Starting point is 01:15:48 He ain't even like Trump. That's what I want to say. And not to be rude to nobody else. He really didn't even like white people. You know what I'm saying? I really wanted to say that I was cringing boiling in the inside and I was already going through something while I was there
Starting point is 01:16:13 I had dyed my hair the night before got my hair done and stuff but I had an allergic reaction to the dye so my hair was like just like puffing and stuff from the dye so my hair was like just like puffing and stuff like from the dye so i was already dripping dripping like pus coming out my head yeah yeah like some kind of no i i was trying to be i thought it was gonna be cute it didn't start to pastor on jamal

Starting point is 01:17:39 We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Erica Dutchess here. Now, if you just joined us, Erica was telling us about a pastor at a friend Clay's funeral. Not just a pastor. It's Pastor Jamal Bryant.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Pastor Jamal Bryant ain't no joke, man. Let's not act like it's just some pastor, man. Well, Erica Dutch has said that he bombed and he posted the wrong picture

Yeah, I met Pastor Jamal Bryant.
Starting point is 01:18:06 But you got to ask him, can he talk on air? We can't just put him on air. I'm familiar with Pastor Jamal Bryant. You know, he did a sermon based off Lil Duval's song, Black Men Don't Cheat. You know, the joke Carlos Miller made that Duval turned into a song. Yeah, right. He did a sermon about that. But then also, I met him.
Starting point is 01:18:18 I don't know if that was the first time meeting him, but I met him at the Black Effect Podcast Festival that I did in Atlanta a couple weeks ago. He came to that. Okay. he came today okay yeah all right cool well you got to ask permission we just can't put him on here so you ask let's do it hello pastor what's up brother this is charlemagne listen if you don't want to be on the air we understand but i just got i gotta at least give you the opportunity to uh to speak your piece this morning. Tell me what happened. Erica, tell me. This is Erica Dutchess. Erica is from the Ha Ha Mafia.
Starting point is 01:18:50 She was one of Clay Evans' comedians. She opens up for Little Duval, and she was at the funeral. And her words was that you bombed the eulogy. Tell them what happened, Erica. Yes, Pastor. We just all want to know why when you was doing the you the you the eulogy why were you talking about donald trump going to jail and what else you and and you will quote all the white men um um um white men quotes yeah the white men quotes and
Starting point is 01:19:19 stuff like that and then when you were talking about clay why you said clay been with his wife 28 years who been with that who been doing that and then when you showed talking about Clay's wife, you said, Clay's been with his wife 28 years. Who's been doing that? And then when you showed the picture, it was Clay and another woman. Oh, yeah. Put me on. Okay, go ahead, Pastor. You're on. Good morning. Good morning. Pastor Jamal Bryan on the air this morning, y'all. Good morning, Pastor.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Good morning, Charlemagne, and good morning, Erica. There was an old cartoon that said, is fundamental because right after reading is fundamental. I opened up talking about Donald Trump being a bad man and Clay being the polar opposite of that. So it was not disjointed. He was the framework of what we ought to be as black men as counter to who Donald Trump is. Secondarily, the picture that was shown was a mistake of our media department. All of the pictures that we posted was sent from the family.
Starting point is 01:20:14 So we made a mishap in technology. Obviously, it was not out of intention. But we did our absolute best to try to represent an excellence. If we failed the family in doing so, then I'll take the L. Obviously, that was not the intention. Now, Erica said T.I. gave you the light like you was a stand-up comedian on stage. Said T.I. gave you the light to get off the stage.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Is that true, Pastor Jamal Bryant? No, sir. He probably know what it was. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, Pastor probably know what it was. No, Erica, I've seen it. I've seen you perform, so I know what that is. Oh! Pastor throw it down! Pastor throw it down! no no eric i've seen it i've seen you perform so i know what that is oh i would let you have that pastor because i know you're probably a little mad right now but you really bombed though you ain't been in in no Erica Dutchie show, because I don't do that. Pastors, DJ, did you bomb the Eulogy Pastors?
Starting point is 01:21:07 You bombed. Go ahead. Go ahead and get in the music. I don't think that I did. What I do, Charlemagne, is preach. So I know how to do that. Oh, no, I told him you a damn good preacher. I told him you a damn good preacher.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Preacher be bombing, too. If I didn't meet Eric and stand it, I'm going to do better next week, guys. It just wasn't me. Pray for me. It was like everybody. Eric, he said pray for me. Pray for me. I will.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Hey, Pastor, next time you're in New York, you got to pull up to the breakfast club. We'd love to have you, brother. I'm coming.

All right, Pastor. That was Pastor Jamal Bryant, ladies and gentlemen. All right, well, what's the moral of the story?

Starting point is 01:22:47 This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club. Now, Barack Obama was doing an interview and he was asked about a comment the former first lady made, Michelle Obama, when she did an interview. I think she sat down with, I'm trying to think who was part of that interview.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Angie Martinez was there. Kelly Rowland was there. Yeah, I definitely know it was angie martinez it was for it was for a vote yeah it was for a vote i can't i can't think who else was there i'm sorry for the for those sisters but she talked about how she couldn't stand barack obama for like 10 years people think i'm being catty by saying this it's like there were 10 years well i couldn't stand my husband you know say that and guess when it happened when those kids were little right yeah right because you know you can be all great individually when you when you're just married you got your life he's got his you come together it's all oh good to see you bye take it easy and then you have kids not take it easy
Starting point is 01:23:46 you're traveling that's great good i get to hang out and watch the tv i want to watch but the minute we had kids it was like where are you going and how far and you start measuring it's like how many diapers did you change and oh you're golfing oh you got time oh you got time to golf how you at the gym all the time right well barack obama he responded to to when she did that interview and uh this is what he said it sure helps to be out of the white house uh and uh to to have a little more time with her you know what also helps though about children and I don't know about your spouse, when our girls were growing up, that was priority number one, two, three, and four. Of course.
Starting point is 01:24:32 So I did not fully appreciate, I think, as engaged of a father as I was. The degree of stress and tension for her, knowing that not just and michelle were under scrutiny and in this strange environment just wasn't normal now that they're doing good you know she uh is a little more forgiving of all my flaws she she says you know what she's told me is you know looking back you did okay as a dad he did okay i mean I mean, he was president for eight years. That's not like a regular job. Not at all. He's the president of the United States of America, the leader of the free world. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:25:11 Like, yeah. Well, they celebrate their 31st anniversary. Can I get a little grace for that? Maybe. Just a little bit. You ain't changed them Pampers, though. I mean, damn. Well, like I said, they celebrate.
Starting point is 01:25:22 I changed policy and legislation. I don't got time to change Pampers right now. Lord have mercy. You didn't teach Baby Girl how to hit a softball either. Damn. Like I said, they celebrate their 31st anniversary in October. This clip was running around crazy yesterday and people really thought this was Jerry Springer.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Well, it wasn't, but they thought it was true. My wife learned of your arrival, Misha, and demanded that I cut you off completely. I tried to reason with her, but she threatened to expose my infidelity and my illegitimate children. And I was such a coward. I didn't know how to stand to my truth and stand up to my wife. I did, however, manage to stand up for you, John and Misha. While Joan kept me away from you with a threat of exposure, she did not keep me from providing for you.
Starting point is 01:26:06 The rest of my estate, my properties in Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, my bank accounts, investment portfolios, all liquid and intangible assets, everything, all of it will go to my children, John and Misha. Now, if you don't know, he act like people thought it was real. He act like he did a will on on his Zoom and he had his kids on Zoom. But he also had two kids that were biracial that he had outside his marriage. And what he told his kids was he was leaving his kids pretty much nothing and leaving his biracial kids everything. And it went it went crazy on social media. But it wasn't true. I thought it was real, too.
Starting point is 01:26:41 I came in here yesterday like, man, we need to have a conversation about this. And then come to find out it wasn't real. It wasn't real. I thought it was real, too. I came in here yesterday like, man, we need to have a conversation about this. And then come to find out it wasn't real. Yeah, it wasn't real. It was something that he did. Oh, but, you know, I thought about it like, damn, Jerry Springer for his last hurrah wanted to give one more spoof, one more joke before he left, which was crazy. But this was something that he did in 2020 that they put out now. And y'all think we can handle chat GPT and AI when we don't even know that a video that was made two years ago isn't what they told us
Starting point is 01:27:06 what it was this week? And we keep getting fooled by the internet. Remember, it was something else that happened with everybody thought it was real
Starting point is 01:27:14 and everybody was making a big fuss about it and couldn't find out they made it up. That sounds like something that happens every day.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Every day. I just can't think of the situation but it do happen every day. I said the lines of reality have already been blurred on the Internet. Now with AI and chat GPT, they about to be obliterated. Yes.
