Them things too potent. Too strong. They too potent. Really? Ain't nothing supposed to be no 60 milligrams. I'm sure your wife appreciated it. No, that's too much. She ain't never said that to you.

Shout out to all the cheer dads out there. Shout out to all the dance dads out there. It was dance dad weekend for me. My daughter had both of them actually had competition weekend and my one daughter placed number one. So drop a bomb for Brooklyn.

And the other one, her team placed number one. So drop a bomb again for them. So congratulations to them. I know you're on chair, Dad, duty, Charlemagne. Yeah, that's what I've been doing all weekend, man. Chair competition. This was the big one, the Super Bowl of chair competition. I can't hear myself in the headphones, right?

We can hear you clearly. You can hear me clearly? How's she do? One team plays third. The other team plays 13th, which I think is the stupidest thing in the world. I don't know why they have 13th place. And I get it. I get it, though, because this is the big one, so it's like literally hundreds of teams.

Right. So I guess that is a high ranking if you're like 13th out of like 50 or 60 or something like that. Yeah, that's pretty big. But come on, man. We got to stop with this participation trophy nonsense. I'm old school. Top three, let it be. You better say it, Sean.

Make everybody weak. Everybody get a commendation. Oh, you participated. It's silly. No, I want you to lose. Go get better and come back and win next time. That's right. That's why it should only be the top three.

Oh, wait a minute, Emory. Did I say you take your daughter to the gun range? I did. I took my daughter to the gun range this three. It should be number seven. Oh, wait a minute, Emory. Did I say you take your daughter to the gun range? I did. I took my daughter to the gun range this weekend. You're a good dad. Oh, my God. I take mine to the gun range, too, but it's in the backyard. We just shoot at the fences.

Well, this is New York, New Jersey. If you do that, you're going to jail. I've been there before. Got out, came out looking like this. Send me back. I'm going to come out looking like this. Good morning, Dad. Wake up.

It's good morning. We are on The Breakfast Club. Mother is here. Flamin' Rose is here. When we come back, we got front page news. Ceslyn Figueroa will be joining us. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Our guest host, Flamin' Rose, is here. What's happening in New York City? Come and take a bite out of my big apples. you know jesus let's get in some front page news good morning tesla and how you figuring how you feeling over there i am feeling good good morning breakfast club family and flame and row in the building so be a lot of comedy going on while you are here this week i look

forward to it good morning gorgeous, gorgeous. Good morning. Now let's get into some front pages. We'll start off with sports. The Knicks lost to the Heat over the weekend, 108-101. The Nuggets beat the Suns 125-107. And the Warriors, Steph Curry, have 50. They beat the Kings 120-100. They take on the Lakers

in the next couple of days. At what point do we just go ahead and say Steph Curry is the second greatest NBA player of all time? He's the second greatest NBA player I've ever seen in my lifetime. Who's the first? Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Okay, I just wanted to make sure you got it right because if you had said something else,

I would have came through that screen on you. No, Michael Jeffrey Jordan and Steph Curry. And when you talk about the list of people who have absolutely changed the game, like revolutionized the game of basketball, that's a very short list, and Steph Curry is on it. Yeah, absolutely. As a woman, the way he dropped those three-pointers, you can only imagine, Tazlyn, good God, that's the woman in me speaking.

Taz, what else we got, Taz? Yeah, I hate starting out Mondays on a sad note, but again, we have to report the news. And so I wanted to talk quickly about the teen arrested in the shooting death of trans woman Rashida Williams, who goes by Coco the doll. So Atlanta police say they have arrested a 17 year old in connection with the shooting death of 35 year old Rashida Williams in Southwest Atlanta this week. According to a police statement, homicide detectives were able to secure arrest warrants for murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony against 17 year old Jamarcus Jernigan. Rashida,

AKA Coco, the doll was the latest victim of violence against black transgender women. And I wanted to, you know, definitely report this because I know a flame, you know, it made some comments. I watch your commentary often wanted to you know definitely report this because i know uh flame you know i made some comments i watch your commentary often and you know i spoke on this so i just kind of wanted to see you know what's your position on this flame and let's let's discuss uh i think it's tragic all the way around and it's so many components to this story teslin that we will

never have all the answers to simply because coco is no longer here to tell us her side of the story because the young man i don't know what happened i don't know if he could have lied about his age or she could have lied about you know her identity we don't know and we will never know what i don't like is that he's been on the week for a run he's still a 17 year old he has a 17 year old mind so who has gotten his head and planted a seed to say hey just say that she tricked you and you snap you know and that may not have been the case but we will never know it is sad all the way around she lost her life and his life is probably ruined for the rest of his life it's sad i just need y'all to be careful and i don't know all the components of

that story but it is very scary rest in peace to that young lady for sure peace absolutely there was another scary shooting over the weekend too right there than Cleveland Texas yeah it was we can talk about that quickly and I definitely go more into that on next hour but yeah gunman is still at large after allegedly fate shoot fatally shooting five people including an eight-year-old in Cleveland Texas home after a Friday night rampage that started with a noise complaint about gunfire. Now, the suspect, identified as 38-year-old Francesca Oropiza, was apparently shooting a rifle in his yard when neighbors asked him to stop because a baby was trying to sleep. He responded, I'll do what I want to do in my front

yard, and then the suspect began to open fire on the neighbors. Now, five people ages 25, 21, 31, 18 and eight were killed. Some reports say it was a nine year old and some say eight CNN reported eight. But the suspect is still on the loose and considered armed and dangerous. To date, there has been 174 mass shootings in this year alone and again a mass shooting is defined by at least four or more people who have been killed not including the shooter well we're gonna have to learn to walk and chew gun at the same time because this is definitely a mass shooting situation but at some point we got to start having a conversation about mental health as well because that's not normal

for a neighbor to walk over ask you to stop shooting and then that person come over and kill all of those people yeah that's that's not normal y'all y'all can keep trying to say that's just all about guns but it's not just guns in that situation well what's normal shall man you can't you can't even turn into the wrong driveway now i've i've made the wrong turn and many times and just turn into people driveway to turn around and go back out you can't do that now because if you're driving the wrong driveway, now you could get shot. That's right. Or knock on the wrong doorbell. Tesla, was it an AR-15

that the man used? Yes. It did not. It was? Okay. I don't know. I thought they said he had an AR-15. I thought I read that it was an AR-15. I saw an AR-15. That is what's the most baffling thing about this country. Y'all want to cancel books that will teach us history, but keep selling weapons that make us history.

I'm sorry. You worried about me having a top and a bottom that don't match? Good God. But it's just something that caused that person to mentally snap. That's not normal for somebody just to go kill a whole family just because they got asked to stop shooting their gun. Not at all. And that is front page news. Tesla, we'll see you in a little bit.

Tesla! Absolutely. All right. Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It don't come off. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Let us know how your weekend was.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Nancy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest.

Or something, you got shot in the back, right? Yes, it's a bullet in the disc part of my spinal cord No surgery needed It broke my pelvic bone and struck a nerve In my left leg. That sounds painful. I was just calling to give a public thank you to everyone because

three weeks ago when you sent me the cash app and gave me lunch, I really appreciate it. But five minutes after that, I threw in the newspaper. My cash app just went to going off the hook. I don't want to say how much money I got because I know you guys be people that only call y'all just for that reason but i just want to give a public thank you to everyone and i literally was getting stuff from houston from this is orleans everywhere

everyone's telling me they heard me from the breakfast club and look at god i just really appreciate it look at god good for you and that's a beautiful thing because so many people are struggling everything that was needed like their money was not just want to let everyone know Look at God. Good for you. That's a beautiful thing because so many people are struggling. Everything that was needed. Their money was not. I just wanted to let everyone know their money didn't go to waste. It went to me getting a pain management. Getting cheaper insurance before my insurance was $100 every time I go,

which is two days of physical therapy. You guys just literally helped me to not lose my car because I don't have a job anymore. I had three years. I was about to go into depression. So I just thank you guys because there's a lot of people out here who are, you know, liars or scammers and go out and do things. And these people don't know me from anywhere. I'm from Florida having people send me money from New Orleans just because they're supporters of

you guys and heard my story. So I thank you. Alright mama, you have a great week. Alright? Fantastic. Feel better? Yes, you guys as well. Show me. I thank you. You have a great week, alright? Fantastic. Feel better? Yes, you guys as well. Show me. I got a bone to pick with you. Ever since you've been giving out cash ups, I've been calling in to get one. You won't answer my calls. That's right. As soon as we see flame, we hang

up. You're making money on that stage. Sky Blue. What's your name? Sky Blue. Hey, Sky Blue. Get it off your chest. I'm getting off my chest. I've been married to someone for around three months, and they were just exposed on Facebook Live the other day for being in a relationship with a transgender woman. And once it came out, he just completely abandoned me and his unborn child. So, I needed to get that off my chest.

I'm sorry, Mama. mama no it's totally fine i'm i'm okay you know i'm strong chicago born i get through it but it's just weird in today's day and age that people you know that people just can't live in their true true form you're absolutely right well he's he's a coward for that and and and for leaving you in that unborn child is a cowardly move. And I'm sorry that you got to deal with it. I'm sorry that we got to talk about this on a Monday. No, I'm good, you know.

Life lessons. All right, mama. Well, you have a good one. Wow. All right, you too. Men that like trans women, when that itch gets a scratch, they got to scratch that itch. When they get that itch, they have to scratch it. It's the truth.

Yeah, but you can scratch that itch, you ain't gotta leave the you know he's married you're leaving your wife yeah and so let me let me just say this that so many men who like trans women uh and are in relationships with biological women because they can't go they feel they don't feel they can safely go to this woman and say hey hey, I'm having these desires. The fact that he left. I wasn't talking about the fact that he left his wife. She said he left her for a trans woman. I mean, that's true. But he's just a cheater. He just wanted something else.

No, it's a different thing about cheating. You can cheat with another woman and get the same thing. He cheated for something else. A stick ain't going to never be a stone. Let's just talk about it. So that desire that he had, another woman could not give him. He had to go and get a special woman.

I'm going to leave all the stick talk to you. You've been doing it all week. Why not? Good God, y'all have been up in here talking crazy. You know more about this. I was going to say that he left his unborn child. That's what I was saying. But get it off your chest.

And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Boosie. Rule my hazard. Rule my, rule my hazard. Call out a, hey. Hey, hey, hey. And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Boosie. Rumor hazard. Rumor hazard. 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. Now, T.I. and Boosie weren't seeing eye to eye in the last couple of months. They were supposed to actually do an album. T.I. was doing an interview and he talks about telling on on his cousin that passed away and boosie didn't like it and boosie called him a snitch said he wasn't going to put the album out and to the world it seems like they had problems well they ran into each other recently in the airport and here's

boosie talking about what they discussed uh it just went like two bosses a hell of a man like first of all you know like we got kids who love each other, dog. You know, and first you went agreeing, and we was going back and forth. And, you know, he spoke how he felt, I spoke how I felt. And he felt me, and I felt him. And, you know, I gave him an apology. You apologized? Yeah, I gave him an apology, you know, because after we kept going back and forth,

you know, like, you know, the things he was doing for me in my life at the time, I kind of felt bad. He was, you know, he was doing some real shit, helping me in a lot of ways. But I still told him I stand on what I stand on. And when he explained it to me, we got by it man I'm glad Boosie said that cuz I feel like Boosie is way more solid than he was when he expressed expressed his feelings about what TI said in the Vlad TV interview because at the end of the day if you got a relationship with somebody and you and somebody are actually cool pick up the phone and have that conversation with him if you feel the way I feel like you

We want to know your thoughts ebony k williams uh friend to the room had a conversation with ayan love von zahn that went everywhere it was a relationship conversation uh and this is where it went would you date a bus driver would you date if he owns the bus if he owns it if he owns the bus that's no that's a problem that's a problem because the standards and requisites and

i'm not talking about him laying on his sofa playing video games all day i'm not talking about that but the standards and the criteria that we use to measure men is off for who we are as women and who they are in this society i I would date a bus driver if he loved driving the bus, if he was a man of integrity, if he was good to his mama, if he treated me well, I would date a bus driver.

We're going to talk about that next hour, 800-585-1051. Ebony also sat down with Tesslyn Figueroa. So after Front Page News, Tess is going to talk about her speaking to Ebony about this as well. But we want your thoughts. 800-585-1051 front page news is next it's the breakfast club good morning good morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now it's time for some front page news with tesla figaro you back with us i'm back with you baby all right let's start with some sports. My heat, uh, my heat.

My Knicks lost to your heat. Exactly. I'm glad you finally admitting the truth that you ain't nothing but a Team D hopper. I am not. Now it's your heat. You DJ one or two parties in Miami, now they your heat. I'm the Knicks. My Knicks.

I meant to say my Knicks. And you got a Knicks jersey on. I got a Knicks jersey on. My Knicks lost to the heat 108-101. The Nuggets beat the Sun 125-107. And the Warriors beat the Kings 120-100. Steph Curry had 50. Drop on the clues, boss, of Steph Curry.

The first person to ever score 50 points in a game seven. But I'm going to say it until I'm blue in the face. And I've said this before. Steph Curry is absolutely the second greatest basketball player I've ever seen in my life. Well, can we give a shoutout to LeBron James? What we're giving out? Because he scored 38 points. He scored like 20 points when he was 38 years old,

and they weren't expecting that. So LeBron is still great to me. I like LeBron. It's going to be LeBron and Steph next round, and I think that y'all making this, y'all over-hyping this situation. Y'all saying things like, oh, the rivalry. The last time we're going to see Bron and Steph. Steph Curry has owned LeBron James

in the playoffs, y'all. He's 15-7 against LeBron in the playoffs. And more importantly, 3-1 against LeBron in NBA Finals. Okay? Just want to put that out there. My goodness. Alright, well, Flamin' Roe, I'll guess. Listen to Howard Cosell. Howard Cosell just giving you all the sports stats, Charlamagne.

Sit on that side. Come on, Envy. What was we talking about? We got Teslin. Yeah, Nikki Haley is throwing shade at President Biden. She said he will likely die within five years. The White House physician released a memo, and his findings state that despite President Biden being treated for acid reflux, spinal arthritis and high cholesterol, that Biden's health is stable and declared him a healthy, vigorous 80 year old male who exercises at least five days a week. But Republican

presidential candidate Nikki Haley is not buying it. She predicts that he will possibly die before the end of his second term. Take a listen. We'll talk about it on the other side. You know, he's announced his, you know, that he's running again in 2024. And I think that we can all be very clear and say, with a matter of fact, that if you vote for Joe Biden, you really are counting on a President Harris because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely. I mean, the average age for a man is, what, 73, 74 years old?

So he's already over-exceeded that, right? By about seven years. So, I mean, you know. Yeah, I mean, but that is something to think about when you're thinking about seven years. So, I mean, you know. Yeah, I mean, but that is something to think about when you're thinking about the president. Like you said, it's 74.5 is the average age of a man in the U.S. And that is something.

Like you said, he's going to be up there in age. And at that time, yeah, there are a lot of healthy individuals that are old, but there's also a lot of people that start getting dementia, can't drive, and so many different things. If the doctor's saying Joe Biden is okay, do we believe him? I mean, because that guy is the doctor, saying Joe Biden is okay, do we believe him?

I just don't like playing the death card with people because that could happen to any of us. And Will. Here's the irony. She got a lot of nerve because Don Lemon got handed his behind on CNN because he said she wasn't in her prime. But now she want to say somebody's going to die.

He lost his job and she's going to lose'm just asking because he did i don't yeah i don't think i don't think that was that's a fireable offense i mean i don't even know how does nikki nikki hella can't lose her job unless she's not well she ain't gonna get the job because she damn sure ain't gonna win i don't know she ain't gonna win i don't think i don't know i've seen strange things happen yeah i've me too but she ain't gonna win uh yeah if it's if it's a man he can be unattractive but if it's a woman she got to be pretty so what are you saying flame i if you didn't catch that then i don't know what you saying put your catcher's mitt on pretty get away with a lot of things that ugly will never get away with flame i want you to know that comment is worse than Don Lemon saying she passed her friend.

Well, I work for CNN, but they do have a position of it. If y'all need me, call me because I can say, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Spike my road on CNN. Now we got to talk about the White House correspondent dinner, too. Yeah, meanwhile, while Nikki Haley was throwing shade, President Biden was joking at the White House correspondent dinner. The annual dinner hosted inside the washington hilton drew thousands of guests in support of the freedom of press something called something biden called the pillar of free society not the enemy here are a few

moments take a listen we'll talk about it on the other side you are trying to erase black people and a lot of black people wouldn't mind some of that erasure as long as that black person is Clarence Thomas a billionaire named Harlan Crowe flying Clarence Thomas all over the world on unreported trips like an Instagram model taking Clarence to the Maldives and the beaches and all paid for his mama's house this billionaire paid for Clarence Thomas mama's house I gotta give it up to billionaires y'all always come up with something new to buy. This man bought a Supreme Court justice. Do you understand how rich you have to be to buy a Supreme

Court, a black one, on top of that? There's only two in stock and Harlan Crowe owns half the inventory. We can all see Clarence Thomas, but he belongs to billionaire Harlan Crowe, and that's what an NFT is.

We all just dead silent over here. That wasn't a clip. I thought because he made a comment about drag shows and when I support drag shows, 100% my trans sisters and brothers and drag artistry ain't never hurt nobody. But then he went left and said, but the drags don't do nothing at the schools. The people come and shoot up the kids at the schools and it went real bad and i like

it went really bad what did he say he said that uh support drag queens going reading in schools but because they're not going to hurt the kids the kids gonna get shot up in school and it was just like oh the all the whole audience i was like oh my god you won't be invited back to this good Jesus he is bad as what's his name at the Golden Globes what was his name who came out the comedian Gerard Carmichael let me tell you everybody keep coming out

I'm going back in the closet closet empty I can hang up my dress because everybody came out everybody coming out I'm going back in the closet there's lots of room I can hang up my gowns and lay out my shoes I can put my fans up on the wall oh out I'm going back in the closet There's lots of room I can hang on my gowns And lay out my shoes I can put my fans up on the wall Oh yeah I'm going back in the closet I can't take it

I didn't see Roy's whole commentary I like Roy though Roy funny I like Roy too I'll be hosting the daily show The week of May 15th So I'll be working with Roy I'm excited to see you on there

Charlamagne I should be your Ed McMahon Oh Ed McMahon I forgot about Ed McMahon God bless the dead I could be your Ed McMahon They never had that on that show, though. That's okay.

We're always doing something new. We're Cancers. We always do new things. That is true. That is true. Don't be forgetting Charlemagne and stuff. Come on, now. Do I ever forget you, Flame?

Yes, you do. You a liar. Why you a liar like that? You took that edible. Edibles is them Joe Biden edibles. You don't get the job done, but you ain't going to remember it. You co-hosting the Breakfast Club this morning. You co-hosting my late night show, Hell of a Week.

Like, stop, Flame. No, start, Flame. Ain't going to stop. It's called start, Flame. My goodness. Bring me a contract. Let me start now. Well, that is front page news.

Thank you, Teslin Figueroa. Thank you, Teslin. Yes. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Ebony K. Williams was having a conversation with Ayan Lavon Zant. And this is what she said during this conversation. Would you date a bus driver?

If he owns the bus. If he owns it. If he owns the bus. No. That's a problem. That's a problem. Because the standards and requisites. And I'm not talking about him laying on his sofa playing video games all day. I'm not talking about that. But the standards and the criteria that we use to measure men is off for who we are as women and who they are in this society. I would date a bus driver if he loved driving the bus, if he was a man of integrity,

if he was good to his mama, if he treated me well, I would date a bus driver. Salute to all the bus drivers out there. They blew it all for us this morning. Salute to all the bus drivers. You know, Boris Kodjo played a bus driver in one of Tyler Perry's movies.

If bus drivers look like that, I'd date a bus driver. I'd date the bus. And she brought that up during our discussion. She said, y'all been watching too many Tyler Perry movies. Bus drivers cheat, too. I mean, we had a really good conversation about it. And that comes out when, Tez?

It's out. It's out. It's on Tez's Instagram. Yeah, it's on my Instagram. And then we're uploading it to the podcast on Thursday. But, you you know the most important thing that people remember is again almost 40 percent of black men date uh 40 percent of black men are in blue collar jobs black women are the only uh women who date marry and partner

with our race more than any other race so the idea that black women don't want to date blue collar guys that's what people heard when she said that. And that's just simply the facts suggest otherwise. Her personal preference is completely different than what the majority of black women do. I married a mechanic, so it's not true. What I don't like is the generalization that, oh, you know, that's what's wrong with black women. And that's why black women just not true. When we look at the facts, we look at the stats, we look at the data.

We date and marry blue-collar men we just do i think the problem with the conversation was that they were speaking in both generalizations and preferences all in the same breath correct you know what i'm saying so ebony started talking about generalizations but then ayanna asked her about a preference and then ayanna went back to talking about generalizations you know the reality of the reality of the situation is if you don't want to date a bus driver or you don't want to date a blue collar worker, all you're doing is making your pickings even slimmer. Right. And she was very clear about that. She says she understands that it limits her, which she has said on The Breakfast Club multiple times. She says that she understands it may not you know, she may not ever get a husband, but that is her choice. She also pointed out that her mother was a bus driver.

So she never said that bus driving was bad and that all those, you know, anybody that's a bus driver is trash. But it was it's very important that we understand, you know, like the whole, you know, the whole concept of what she was talking about. And again, when you hear a 30 second clip, you know, people run with that. And so they felt insulted. And so my point is, guys, when you hear somebody say something on social media, don't internalize that. You know, she's one black woman. Not all black women feel that way. Remember what your mother said to you as a black woman or a grandmother or your aunt or your wife. Remember the things they said to you, not what a random stranger you've never met in life said to you.

My mama told me to style her dresses. My mama told me to style her dresses. My mama told me to style her dresses. You didn't listen. You didn't listen. You didn't listen at all. 800-585-1051. We're talking Ebony K. Williams, Ayanla Fonzant. What do you think?

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking about a conversation that ebony k williams had with ayan love von zahn now it was about relationships it was about dating a bus driver and this is how the conversation played out would you date a bus driver would you date if he owns the bus if he owns it if he owns the bus that's no

that's a problem that's a problem because the standards and requisites and i'm not talking about him laying on his sofa playing video games all day i'm not talking about that. But the standards and the criteria that we use to measure men is off for who we are as women and who they are in this society. I would date a bus driver if he was if he loved driving the bus, if he was a man of integrity, if he was good to his mama, if he treated me well i would date a bus so we're asking 800-585-1051 what are your thoughts start with you flame row i definitely date bus driver i would that you let me tell you something envy i just want i like people who like me for who i am so i'm going to accept you for who you are and if we get along well it's not only just about money especially at my age i just want somebody that makes me happy and that I like because I'm a cancer. And July cancers don't like everybody.

We just don't. So if I like you, then that's good for me. But some of these women's standards be so high, and they have all these high standards for other people, but then their standards be low. They don't keep a clean house. They're not good cooks. Their sex ain't that good.

Yeah, they might be making money, but the other things be lackluster. So don't be asking me to do all this extra, and you ain't did no extra. I do believe in love, and I do believe in, and sometimes you don't know where that's going to come from. It could come from a bus driver. It could come from a sanitation worker. It could come from a nail technician. But I also would say that people have the right to choose who they want to date and who they want to talk to. And if somebody says, look, I want to talk, I don't want to talk to this type of person i don't i don't think that they should be you know ridiculed like there's a lot of people that say

you know what i'm black and i don't want to talk to a white person or i'm white and i don't want to talk to a black person or whatever it may be or i don't want to talk to a person that credit score is this i can't be mad at their preference let me tell you something the way it was raining here in new york last night your 401k wasn't gonna hold me i needed somebody to put their arm around me and make me feel safe the way it was storming here so you like fat man fat oh you almost got i would throw this fan at you absolutely not i said hold me oh hold a 401k can't hold me a million dollars can't hold me you might have it in the bank but it can't make me feel safe and precious and a lot of people miss that because we so on monetary gain we saw material things that you miss love love is free if it's good love now

Charlamagne I mean it's three things for me I mean number one if you don't want to date a blue-collar man from the working class and you're just making your pickings very very very slim okay because they call the 1% the 1% for a reason that's number one number two whatever you want in a mate, you should already be. So if you want a rich man, you better be rich yourself. That's how I feel. And third, and

most important, what happened to love? That's what I said. What happened to connecting with somebody's energy? I think we're looking for all the wrong tangibles in people and they're all superficial, these things that people are looking for if you're going to make the commitment to spend the rest of your life with a person trust me it's going to take uh way more than money you know you did does this person make you happy

does this person make you laugh as flame said does this person make you feel protected yeah you know what i mean like that's why that's why in wedding vows they say through which rich or poor but money comes and money goes money comes and money goes. Money comes and money goes, man. Word up. See, I think both of y'all can say that because both of y'all have beautiful wives. I met y'all main wife in 2019 at Tiffany Haddish's birthday party. And Gia was on here last week. And Gia is beautiful.

That's why y'all got all those kids. Y'all can't even shower in front of y'all wives. Nope. Good God. It goes down, baby. Now, Tezlyn Figaro usually leaves at this time. But she said no. She's staying aboard now

tes i know you got some comments for this one yeah well you know i interviewed uh ebony yesterday on my instagram guys you can certainly go look at the full interview at teslan figaro on instagram and it will be dropping as well on the straight shot no chaser podcast on thursday and i wanted to stick around just to make sure we had a full conversation you know with every uh perspective and you know ebony uh clarified she didn't explain but we we had a you know she went into detail saying that she wasn't speaking for all women um but she certainly understands how people perceive that because she was talking to the masses but uh you know the question was asked would she date a bus driver and uh like charlamagne just pointed out whatever you're asking of someone else you should bring to the table and many would classify classify Ebony as rich and successful. She's

an attorney. She's a TV host. She's a celebrity. She makes a certain amount of income. She lives in New York. And she said that that level of income would not be able to sustain her lifestyle, but she was not dissing bus drivers. Her mother was a bus driver. And I just want to say, you know, from my perspective as a woman, every woman has a different stage in life where she looks for different things. When I was married, unfortunately, the marriage didn't work out, but I married a mechanic. You know, I married a mechanic very young. We built together just similar to Charlemagne and DJ Indy. How you built with your wives. But looking at Ebony, who's 39 years old, she's saying, saying you know she's looking for something different at that age so love does matter uh sexual attraction physical attraction is actually five attractions um but at the end of the day women are looking for different things and so uh when you're talking

about having a family and trying to build that changes i've already had my child i did the marriage i did the whole thing so what i look for may not be what ebony looks for and i don't think we should demonize people's individual choice and i just want to say this brothers 39 of men black men work in blue collar fields and black women date marry partner with black men more than any other race so we are dating black men we're marrying black men we're holding black men down nobody holds black men down more than a black woman so i don't want the conversation to be black men you know that's what's wrong black women don't want to date us because that's just simple enough because the black woman and me been holding down the black man and me for about 30 years baby i'll take it

good morning good morning hey what's your thoughts mama? I definitely would date a bus driver, like Ayanna said, as long as he's hardworking and he get up every morning and make sure he drives that bus well. So you would have no problem with it? You're about your love. I would have no problem with it as long as he's an honest man and that's what he does when he leaves the house and comes back home. That's right. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, yo. What's up, y'all? What's happening, brother? Tyler, did I just hear water?

You taking a shower or a bath, bro? Nah, I was just washing my hands, bro. Alright, just making sure. Sanitary. I wash my hands before I use the bathroom and after, okay? Me too! I thought I was the only person that did. I always wash my hands before I touch my penis. No, no. Wash it before and after, okay?

What's up, y'all? What's up, Tyler? Talk to us. What's your thoughts on that comment? Yo, okay. First off, Ebony K. Williams is absolutely ridiculous. That comment, ridiculous. I am so tired of the women out here trying to only date the 1%

and leave all the other good working hard men out to dry. Like, there's no reason for her to say, you cannot date the bus driver because he doesn't own the bus. Does she own everything that she's in as far as, like, her perspective field? Is she the owner or is she a worker? Like, these men out here, we're hard workers. If just as long as we are coming home, we going to work, we honest living, standing by a woman. We love God.

That's all that's the matter with him. I don't understand about all this money. You know, this 1%. And I'm glad she caught me and taking care of not want to do nothing for themselves. I mean, he's making a good point. I mean, that was my number two. You know, whatever you want to meet, you should already be. So if you want a rich man or you want to own her you know

you better hope you better make sure you're rich and you're an owner yourself not talking about ebony but just talking about just people let's talk about ebony though because he mentioned ebony she is rich though so for him to say all of these women want things that they don't have she does have that so is she an owner ebony i mean tess i don't know i don't know you got i don't know if she owns a but i don't't think she owns a bus company. But she does. But see, this is what I'm saying, brother, that's listening. You know, I hear it's almost like he feels personally attacked. And I just want to reiterate, her personal preference is not an attack on you.

There is somebody that loves you for you. But everybody has the right to want what they want. If I say I like tall men or if somebody says i like thick women or skinny women i don't get offended that you like something different other than me i don't understand why people are so pressed by people's personal preference she's not saying everybody should follow her well she did say that effort we are being intellectually dishonest if we say that she the problem with that conversation is it went from generalization the preference personal the generalization again no the generalization the preference. To personal. To generalization again.

No, generalization to preference to generalization again. That was the problem with that whole conversation. Let's take some more calls. 800-585-1051. A lot of people on the line. And, Charlamagne, do you feel bad when women say they want tall men and no one short men? I'm taking. I don't care what y'all want.

Exactly. I'm married. Great damn point. And let's point that out before we take another call. You are both married for 20 plus years correct yes so really truth be told this ain't even a conversation y'all really can actively participate in because you're not dating i'm over there on the phone lines let's talk about some more when we come back as the breakfast club hey guys i'm kate.

Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club on BET. We got our guest co-host, Flayne Monroe here. Teslin Figaro is sticking around because we're having a conversation about Ebony K. Williams. She was having a conversation with Ayaan LaVon Zant about relationships and this is what she said.

Would you date a bus driver? If he owns the bus. If he owns it. If he owns the bus. If he owns it. If he owns the bus. No. That's a problem. That's a problem. Because the standards and requisites,

and I'm not talking about him laying on his sofa playing video games all day. I'm not talking about that. But the standards and the criteria that we use to measure men is off for who we are as women and who they are in this society. I would date a bus driver if he loved driving the bus, if he was a man of integrity, if he was good to his mama, if he treated me well. I would date a bus driver.

A lot of people on the line want to talk. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Faith Jones, how are you? Hey, Faith, good morning. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? I wouldn't date a bus driver unless he had a 401k.

Let me explain why. Jesus. Number one, it has nothing to do with women being gold diggers, stuff like that. But, you know, we're not breadwinners. Hold everything down. Hold the family down. Hold the kids down.

And I don't mind holding anyone down if you're in college and doing what you have to do. But to hold someone down while they sit their ass on the sofa. Oh, sorry. While they sit their behinds on the sofa and do all that. And, you know, men want to be treated with respect. But they don't understand we want to be treated with respect as well. We got to go get our own nails and our own hair done and everything else and take care of our household. No, absolutely not.

You know, if she listened to the whole conversation with Ebony and Ayala, Ayala actually said that damn near verbatim. She was like, you know, I ain't talking about the guy that's sitting around on the couch

playing video games all day. Are you a hardworking, honest man? But I also feel like people have to start from someplace, right? Like we all started from someplace i worked at the u.s open and i grabbed the balls and then i sold t-shirt i did telemarketing like i started or i started somewhere small and you know i started to try to work as hard as I am.

Bus drivers are a great job. They make good money. They have great benefits. I put them in the same bank as teachers and police officers. They're public servants. Let me ask you this question. When I was married, I married a mechanic. How old were you when you started?

When you were talking about those jobs? I started working at 16. Right. So Ebony's a 39-year-old woman. So when I met my mechanic ex-husband, who was a floater and just on an hourly pay, I was 21. A 40-year-old woman is not looking for the same thing you would look for at 21. So things change as you age. you're looking for more stability more things and again it's okay to date a blue-collar guy i just want to put that out there but i also

want to say a lot of blue-collar men charlamagne we were talking about this earlier they all can be very intimidated by women who do make more so i got plenty of girlfriends that say yeah i'll date a guy that makes less than me but then if i bring him to the white house correspondence dinner and he's around other men that maybe you know talk about different things that maybe you know he's not familiar with a lot of men feel insecure about that and so it makes it even harder for sisters to say hey you know i i will help you bill let's let's come together i don't it's it's a lot it's a lot to unpack with this question i don't know i see i don't agree because see for me money comes and money goes right and and at the end of the day, I want somebody that's going to love me regardless. Like, I don't care if they rich. I don't care if they broke.

It's a feeling of love. That's right. They're a bus driver. They do nails. I want that feeling because money come money go. I'll take care of the money. But if you love me, but see, you're a man. See, but see, you're a man. What you do, you know, but see, men look at it that way. Men typically do date. Women are married, married women that have less than. When a woman is successful, particularly a black woman, our dynamics change because the power dynamic changes. So we see plenty of men who are multimillionaires that date a woman that maybe has less education, less money, happens all the time. But when the woman is a millionaire, her options are very different than what it is for a man. That's right.

Don't block your blessing. It says you said something. You know, when you talk about these millionaires, you know, bringing somebody around these millionaires who may not be a millionaire. Most everyday working class people from the hood are way more secure than these rich ass celebrities. These celebrities be so insecure and their egos be so fragile you could take a person from the block right now bring them to the met gala tonight and he's gonna be the life of the party yeah well first of all let's be clear so i date the hood yeah so let's let's i date you straight out the penitentiary and uh but the point

i'm trying to say is. Hey, take the girl with the road together. That's very my thing. They got the best sex. Just truth be told. But I just think this shaming, you know, I find it so interesting because when we had the conversation, a lot of men in the comments, white collar men were dissing blue collar men. Blue collar men were dissing men that maybe had felonies and bad records. They were calling them the bottom of the barrel. So what I see a lot of is a lot of men are feeling personally rejected by this and and they're internalizing it and that's what i don't want people to do don't i don't think it's just men no tears i mean i see more women uh standing up for the situation than anything

because most of the women that have these blue collar men well let's go we got stephanie on the line stephanie she's a wife of a bus driver good morning stephanie hi good morning good morning you know because um i want to say that you know in regards to dating a bus driver you could live the life you could live anywhere any celebrity live i live in amsterdam days in long island and my husband is the bus driver and the benefits that they give one thing you could be sure of you're not going to order irs and you could do all the surgeries you want for free on their medical benefit. She said all the surgeries you want

on their medical benefits? Yes, you could literally get a makeover without paying for it on their medical benefit. Basically, you're saying you're happy is what you're saying. Yes, that's what she's saying. Very happy.

And I'm so glad you're happy, sis, but Ebony's a millionaire woman that made this comment. And she, just to give her defense, the salary of a bus driver doesn't even cover what she owed the IRS this year. So that's her preference. But that's her money. She got to pay that bill. I'm here for love. She does.

I ain't here to go 50-50 with you. Yeah. I love you. I'm here because I love. I'm going to support as much as I can. That's true. But a lot of men don't feel that way, though, guys, because y'all not single women out here who are successful. She has a different perspective based on her lived experience.

And again, I date and marry a man that I made more than my husband, and that doesn't necessarily mean that the marriage is going to work out. We also have to stop this idea that everybody who's a bus driver is the perfect man and everybody who's successful is trash and not not a good man with character and loves god and all of those things you guys are two good men that have all of those attributes who are doing very well so we have to stop shaming this oh the bus driver is so perfect and the successful man of trash that's not true i don't think nobody said that i think i think that. I think Ayanna was very specific in saying, if you're a bus driver who has integrity,

if you're a bus driver who's honest, if you're a bus driver who loves me, she was very specific about other attributes she wants him to have. I'm talking about the comments, but Ebony also said all of those attributes can still be with a man that's successful. You can still be successful and have integrity and love God and have character. That's all.

That don't mean nothing. If a man going to cheat, he going to cheat anyway. If you don't believe me, look at Denzel Washington and Fences. He went to work every day on the garbage truck. He still cheated on Viola and had a baby with somebody else. That don't mean nothing. That's a movie. I don't care, but it's a real life movie.

It's still a day. It's the same thing. Because they're talking about men cheat. Baby, let me tell you something. Lots of men cheat. Yes. Even tell you something. Lots of men cheat. Yes. Even men with breasts. Lots of men cheat.

Brianna, you're our last caller. What's your thoughts, Brianna? My thoughts are, it's the men, it's all about the character. That's it? All about the character. If the men are cheating you,

that's fine. But, you know, infillies, bus drivers, and CO CEOs are notoriously known to be cheaters. So that would be my issue. But other than that, no, I don't have a problem with that. But I'm not a millionaire either. So, you know, it's different. I respect the man that, you know, comes to the table.

If I make $100,000, he makes $100,000. Then he can pay, you know, the majority of the bills, so that makes me feel comfortable. Got you. Well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is none of y'all going to recognize Jesus when he come back. Jesus going to come back. If Jesus come back looking like he look back in the day,

y'all not going to give him no shine whatsoever, okay? Y'all ain't going to respect the sandals. Y'all ain't going to respect the little robe. Y'all ain't going to want to touch the hem of that garment. He's going to have to have on designer, some designer shoes, driving a Maybach for y'all to even recognize him. The standards for men are so high. Give me a man with a hustle or driving a dream

over a man with a degree. I'm telling you. A hustle or driving a dream. Yeah, the standards for men are not high based on the facts though. That's what I'm men are not high based on the facts, though. That's what I'm saying. We date them in the penitentiary. Girl, you date them. Ebony K. Williams said she ain't dating them unless they're making a ton of money.

But that's one woman. She's going to be lonely a lot. That's one woman. The majority of black men, we hold y'all black asses down. Y'all going to put some respect on black women this morning. Tez, you're right, but you keep saying it's one woman. But Ebony did make it a general statement before Ayanla was asked to her preference before her preference she made it a general statement but we gotta be able to switch we gotta be able to hear when she was asked for her though

but but then even after ayanla asked ayanla made it a general statement too about women so that's why i'm here to make it a plain statement that was ebony that ain't everybody we date them all black women hold you down more than anybody. We pray more for you. We fight more for you. We put our houses up for you. Oh, we know. We hold you down. So let's not make this about all black women.

Talk about it. But we know this, and that's why she's receiving. That's why she received the backlash she received. Yeah. Because people know that's not. Yeah, that's all. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report.

We're going to get into Stephen A. Smith standing up for Neil Long. We got the audio in. We'll break that down. And more don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Now let's talk Stephen A. Smith. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report.

I mean, I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on the breakfast club. All right. Now, earlier we were talking about Ema Oduke. He left. I don't think that's his name. I don't know.

But, man, give him some air freshener if he taking a duke. Whoever Ema is, he need to get some air freshener if he taking a duke.. Whoever E-May is, he needs to get some air freshener if he's taking a Duque. Well, you know he was the coach of the Boston Celtics. He was let go, and he recently got a job with the Houston Rockets, and he was talking about joining the Houston Rockets. And Stephen A. Smith was upset that he did not apologize for embarrassing and cheating on Nia Long. This is what Stephen A. Smith said.

Even if they're not together, that is the father of her child. If you mention him and another woman, inevitably she's going to come up. How come nobody thought about the sister? How come they just left her out there standing on her own? I will always defend her. I will always defend her on this issue. It was, how could you do that? You didn't have to do it that way. But to have a press conference and put his business tacitly or otherwise on Front Street, you didn't think about Nia Long at all. But you thought about the other woman who purportedly was white. And the one woman in this equation who was innocent and victimized was not the woman Ema Eudoka was messing around with.

It was Nia Long. She was the one screwed over. Jesus Christ, Stephen A. He's angry. He's frustrated. Nia Long said, thank you, Stephen A. Smith, for your support. The most disrespected person in America is the black woman, Malcolm X. I mean, yeah, I think if you publicly

Embarrass your significant other I've seen people apologize for that Like if you had a press conference Yeah you should apologize to the mother of your child I don't think they were married But you know that's your woman I could see an apology there Yeah I think he should address it

I mean he did talk about it So yeah I think he should address it I think he should apologize Didn't he apologize to the Boston Celtics team? I'm not sure. I didn't see it. I mean, of course he had to apologize to the organization. He should apologize to the team as well.

Yeah, I'm not mad. Yeah. Minus all the yelling and the screaming. I agree with Stephen A. Yeah. Because he was hostile, Stephen. I mean, it sounds like Stephen A. wanted him to have a whole other press conference for the near-long situation. I don't know if it required that.

But I can see him acknowledging it during his apologies to everybody. You know what I appreciate about that whole thing? That a brother, a black man, stood up for a black woman. I appreciate that. Now, Lorenz Tate, he talks about Hollywood putting more value in British black actors than U.S. actors? I feel like Hollywood believes there's more value in British black actors than they do black actors. And I think part of it goes into that, oh, they have an audience over there. So they translate internationally. Going back to that, what I think is, you know, a hoax that we don't sell or we're not valuable.

So I think they put that in the mix and also i just think hollywood is just in love with the uk and all things you know british yeah and so i feel like the america the black american actor is i see what that decline is but you know we're here that was on the earn your leisure podcast and of course that was my virgo brother lorenz tape what's your thoughts on that guys um i saw you know i saw alan hughes on the uh higher learning podcast with van latham and uh rachel and he he made a good point he said that you know the reason he thinks hollywood is leaning toward those british actors because a lot of those actors

are trained in the theta you know so he says he feels like they take the craft more serious he says he feels like a lot of american actors are just focused on uh being being famous and i thought that was a i thought that was a good a different take you know yeah uh also 50 cent congratulations to 50 he bought are you gonna ask flame with flame thing i'm sorry flame yeah because you just bypassed me like i was like an asterisk or a footnote or something don Damn. Don't make me throw this fan at you, Envy. I'll fight you. You light-skinned.

I'll fight light-skinned. I won't fight dark-skinned, but I'll fight light-skinned. I think that Lorenz Tate, I don't even hear the frustration. I think Lorenz Tate been taking Benjamin Button juice. First of all, he has not aged. He looks fantastic. Amazing. And he has been a great actor since he played O'Donk.

Yes. Way back when he was a kid. And I hate that the roles that they're getting like i'm not i'm not want to say the guy from snowfall idris what's his name uh damon he gets a lot of roles and i i can see lorenz playing those roles lorenz is a great actor but he never to me broke out the black acting arena i wish he would have been able to cross over and he is a crossover actor but he just never got the meaty roles. Yeah, but Lorenz got some legendary roles.

Yeah, he does got legendary roles. No disrespect to Damson Idris, but he should hope to have the career that Lorenz Tate has had. No, but I'm not bashing Lorenz at all. I'm saying that I wish that he would have got roles that would have made him an international star, you know, if he would have got those parts. So I get what he's saying. There is frustration in Hollywood. Hollywood don't mess with me at all. Hollywood petrified of me and it's truth.

But I can see where the Reigns has a gripe with that because they are giving a lot. And what's the guy from Get Out? He gets a lot of roles and he's a British actor. Idris Elba is a British actor. I always wonder if U.S. actors get parts in some of those U.K. movies or the U.K. sitcoms. I always wonder that. It depends who they are. Because, you know, they always say, you know, the black, black actors can't sell internationally, which is some nonsense.

So I just think they have a select few of people that select few group of people that they think can sell internationally that are black. And that's who they go with. Yeah. And lastly, I just want to congratulate 50 Cent. He bought a nine hundred and eighty five thousand square foot warehouse. Come on, 50 unit films and TV. Yeah. And lastly, I just want to congratulate 50 Cent. He bought a 985,000 square foot warehouse for G-Unit Films and TV. Yay. Rumor has he's going to kind of create his own, what Tyler Perry has in Atlanta. He's going to create where he purchased this property.

He hasn't announced where he purchased it. I do know, but I'll let him announce that. But it's going to be pretty big. He's going to open up a lot of cities. He's going to create a lot of jobs. And I'm super-duper excited for 50. So shout out to Curtis Jackson. Hey, 50, if you're you listening let me tell you something

I need to be on BMF I want to be my Duke's brother because real religion I want to be half brother but I want to be the candy lady for Big Misha and Big T because I want to be selling drugs and the gun runner and you know the loan shark because all black neighborhoods when I was growing up in projects the candy lady

Donkey of the day for Monday, May 1st goes to 31-year-old Katie Sorenson. Katie is actually a Karen, ladies and gentlemen, and she's one of the many reasons that believe all women will never be an accurate statement because when you say all, you have to include people like her, okay? You should listen to all women and believe all proof. And Katie is a prime example of this. See, Katie posted a widely shared Instagram video in which she claimed that a Latino couple named Sadie Vega Martinez and her husband, Eddie Martinez, tried to kidnap her two children at a Michael's craft store in California. Let's go to Good Morning America for the report, please. Katie Sorensen told the elaborate lie on a since-deleted Instagram video that you just mentioned, claiming a Latino couple she described as not clean-cut tried to kidnap her children.

Monday of this week, my children were the targets of attempted kidnap. 31-year-old Katie Sorensen, a mom influencer who posted beauty and motherhood advice, uploaded this video that was viewed more than four million times. And I want to share that story with you in an effort to raise awareness as to what signs to look for. Falsely claiming that strangers tried to kidnap her two young children on December 7th, 2020. The Sonoma County DA's office says the videos were posted about a week after Sorensen reported the supposed kidnapping attempt to police. In the video, Sorensen described a number of details about the alleged incident that hadn't been disclosed to police. The accused couple, Sadie and Eddie Martinez,

say they actually recognized themselves in this photo and came forward to deny Sorensen's claims. She wanted a stronger following. She was looking for content for her fame and her her income um and at our expense wow that's exactly what i was thinking first of all she can't even lie straight now i don't put anything past anyone when it comes to crime but we should have known that story was complete rubbish hogwash baloney and whatever other words white women use for nonsense when she said that it happened in a Michaels craft store. The only people in Michaels are other stressed parents getting materials for their kids' school projects.

Nobody in Michaels is looking to take more kids. Okay, if anything, they're trying to get rid of the ones they got. Amen to that. Katie, you know, you put a Latino couple in danger simply because you was trying to get some engagement on Instagram. She calls herself one of those mom fluencers. So you went to Michael's and created a whole story about a couple trying to kidnap your kids just for likes and retweets. And, oh, she got them. Over four million people watched that video, according to court records.

And not only did she lie, when officers from the police department followed up with her, she actually identified the couple from a surveillance video at the Michael store as the kidnappers. That couple fully cooperated with the investigation and denied the allegations being made against him. I don't even like the fact that they worded worded it like that in The New York Times or as denied the allegations being made against them. No, they told the truth she lied fully cooperated with the investigation no they was asked about a lie that was told on them and they said what the hell are y'all talking about all right and Katie is only facing a maximum of six months in jail her bail was set at a hundred

thousand that's not high enough does she realize the type of lie she told is what got Emmett Till killed does she realize the type of lie she told is what got emmett till killed does she realize the type of lie she told is why the central park five was incarcerated for no damn reason that's why there is no such thing as a little white lie okay when whites lie especially on brown and black people the consequences are huge bigly and katie you didn't even think this through okay the nerve of you to accuse this latino couple of attempting to kidnap your kids. And this is another reason we should have known she was lying. Because Latinos already have 19 kids of their own.

Okay, why would a Latino couple steal a blue-eyed, mayonnaise-flavored baby when they have 32 hard-working brown children of their own? Okay, if she really wanted, you know, people to believe a Latino couple tried to kidnap her kids, she should have said it happened outside of Home Depot or the DMV. But Michael's craft store, stop it. Okay? This woman did all of this just to boost her IG following and raise money. Just one simple lie on IG got a beautiful Latino couple investigated by the police. But y'all really believe this society is ready for AI? Y'all really think this society is ready for deep fakes?

We don't even know reality from fantasy now. Yet we have all this new technology that is about to make it even worse. Please let Remy Ma give Katie Sorensen the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Very dangerous. Very dangerous.

What did Cookie say, Flynn? It said donkey of the day. This is for you, Katie. I got you a cookie, mommy. I feel bad for all the people that was following and found out how dumb they was. Because she dumb, but y'all dumber than she is because y'all following a good guy. And the fact that she looked at a surveillance video and pointed out a couple. Sadie Vega Martinez and her husband, Eddie Martinez.

You know what could have happened to those people? That is right. Come on, man. And she only going to get a maximum of six months? Come on, stop, man. All right, well.

Stop. Thank you for that donkey of the day. Hee haw, hee haw. All right, and we'll see you guys tomorrow on BET. Peace. Everybody else,

let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's talk PDA. You know what PDA stands for? Uh-huh. What does it stand for? Pay dues after the show. No, no, no.

Public display of affection. Now, this is coming from Tamar Braxton. She was out with her boo, her fiance. They were in the car. His name is JR. And they were kissing. And her son was in the backseat. His name is Logan.

It was like, what is happening? I'm so mad at JR right now. So let's talk about it. Do you have public display of affection with your kids around? That is the question. Every time me and my wife kiss, my daughter London goes like she's throwing up. What? What, Flank? I don't have

public display of affection in front of my children because I don't have a significant other. But if you did, would you? Probably yes, because I think that teaches children love, especially when it is affectionate. And you see that a husband and wife or the partners love each other. You know, they display the affection of

you in the kitchen cooking or washing dishes and your wife come and slap you on the butt. You know, you smile and she smiles and the children see that because kids are sponges. So they see everything that's happening. They see all the bad. So why wouldn't they see the good? I mean, you smile and she smiles and the children see that because kids are sponges. So they see everything that's happening. They see all the bad. So why wouldn't they see the good?

I mean, you ain't gonna go bust down in front of your kids, but of course you're going to show love and affection because when they grow up, when they get with their spouses, their significant others, you want them to be able to express that same kind of love. So they need to see that example. We'll talk about it more when we come back and we'll take your phone calls. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.'s right. We'll talk about it more when we come back and we'll take your phone calls. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Woo-hoo. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Th join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Flamin' Monroe, here. Woo!

And we're talking about PDA, public display of affection. We're asking, when you're around your kids, do you show PDA? That is the question, 800-585-1051. I do. Me and my wife, we show all the PDA, hugs, kiss. I grab her ass all the time as she's cooking and cleaning, and she grabs my ass, too. Yes, we show PDA in front of our kids because, like Flamin' Roll said earlier, yeah, you want to show that because you want to create that in your kid's lifestyle.

You don't want to have kids that don't show relations, don't show love, don't show the fact that they can You know be vulnerable with somebody So we do that in our family Flame And the world is touchless The world seems to be Trying to be touchless right now You know the affection

So they should see that affection Cause kids really do pick up that And you argue in front of them So why wouldn't you hug Show the love and affection And kiss in front of them Charlamagne Not only do I do PDA in front of my kids, I encourage it.

OK, kids need to see that parents absolutely love each other. And I am a sensitive, emotional cancer. Yes, I need it. I need love constantly. I need to be hugged on. I need to be kissed on. And, you know, that is just something that I do to my wife. And I encourage other parents to do it as well.

I encourage other couples to do it as well. I encourage other couples to do it as well. And not just, you know, PDA, you know, I don't know if, you should show public displays of affection with your kids too. You should hug on your kids

and kiss your kids and tell your kids you love them and all, yes, I need all of that. All the time. I do all of that. Even if you're a friend of mine, you know, I need a hug.

Yes, you know it. I need a hug when I come. I need a hug when I leave. I need to know that you love me. You don't I need a hug when I come. I need a hug when I leave. I need to know that you love me. You don't give me a hug when you come. Because you nasty. You know what I'm saying? You think you my wife.

You're horrible. Oh my God. No, you think you my wife. That's why Justin Larry calls us husbands now. I just, you know, when you come to work, I would like a nice hug every once in a while. I do hug you every now and then. The other day I tried to hug you and you said no. Because you had on sweats.

You was turned on. See that? Nope. Let's go to the phone lines. Oh. I love you, Jace. Hi, this is Maria. Hey, Maria.

Good morning. Talk to us. You know, it's really interesting. My husband and I have been married almost 20 years. And I'm calling from Detroit, by the way. D-Town? What up, Doe? So we've been married almost 20 years. And I'm calling from Detroit, by the way. D-Town?

What up, doe? So we've been married almost 20 years, and we have an 18-year-old and almost 13-year-old. And one thing that we've been intentional about is showing them all healthy examples, or examples of healthy love, numerous examples. So we do show affection in front of our children. Now, what we won't do is we won't be out in public slobbing each other down. I think that's a bit much. I mean, what do you call it?

I mean, the tongue kiss might be a little bit crazy, but you know, the regular kissing and, you know, the hugging is fine. Yeah, holding hands. That is my absolute favorite envy. I love to see couples hold hands. Holding hands is such a great display of affection

because you really have to like a person they always think it's kissing but to hold somebody's hand and you feel that the love coming through the energy of that that is the most beautiful the display of affection of love to me every day like i don't care if we walk into the movie theater walking in the mall or we just walk into our kids you want to see me hold my wife hand look i'm holding my wife hand you know i just think it's the difference between pda and foreplay i don't think you should do nothing in public that actually would lead to y'all doing the do so that those big tongue kisses can lead to the do being done you know what i mean

mike come on mike baby mike what's up? Another day, man. All right. Different talk. Sound like you need a hug right now, brother. Yeah. I'm all right. I'm all right. How y'all doing?

Good, man. Talk to us. What do you think about PDA in front of your kids? Man, I feel like kids, they got to see the good in the relationship in front of them instead of on, like, Instagram and TikTok and following all these social media relationships. They need to see that relationship with mom and dad in the home. You know what I mean? So I really feel like, you know, the kids do need to see that. Maybe not all of them, but instead of so much fighting and drama in front of them and following up online,

I feel like they really do need to see that face to face. I agree. I agree. And I see it with my kids. Me and my wife show a lot of PDAs. So my kids are very affectionate when it comes to me and my wife. They're always hugging. They're always kissing. They're always hugging and kissing each other because we show it so much and it's normal. And we want

it to be normal. If my kids don't see me and I don't pick them up and they don't come running to me and give me a hug and a kiss, it makes me feel away. And my kids do it every day. That's the best my kids do it every day that's the best feeling i tell everybody that's the best feeling in the world not money nothing when my when i pick up my kids from school and they come running like they haven't seen me in six months and they they jump on me a hug and a kiss oh my god it takes all my pain away how about this if you if we like you know i do cheerleading competition you know i'm a cheer dad you know the meet, when y'all do good,

you don't hug nobody first before you hug me and your mommy. That's what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? My wife be kind of tight, too, but no. Nah, bro. Nah, bro. And yes, you killed it, baby girl. Of course your teammates, because as soon as y'all finish performing,

y'all hug on each other. But once y'all, you know, meet back with the parents, you don't hug no coaches or nobody until you come hug your mommy and daddy. Well, you come hug your daddy and mommy. Hug your daddy first. Then mommy gaff. Mommy always. That's right.

Unless it's me, you hug them both at the same time. Jesus Christ. 800-535-1051. We're talking PDA, public displays of affection. Do you do it in front of your kids? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?

I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking PDA, Public Displays of Affection. We're asking, do you do it in front of your kids? I say yes. I do it. I hold hands. I love. I hug. I grab my wife's butt.

Like, yes, I show PDA. Absolutely, positively. I have a brother and sister. Well, they're my friends. They're not really, but I call them my brother and sister in Seattle. They've been married for 26 years. Okay. They still hold hands.

They still walk together. They still cook together, and they still conversate with each other. So we're all around, because he's the cook, Ty is the cook, and Yolanda is his wife. Those are my friends. But they still are friendly to each other. Absolutely. It really inspires me, because I always said I never wanted to get married, but watching them interact with each other as friends, even me because I always said I never wanted to get married, but watching them interact with each other

as friends, even though they've been married for such a long time, makes me inspired to be like maybe I'll fall in love again. I seriously doubt it, but you know, I'm just saying. So if it does it for me and I'm grown, you can only imagine what it does for their children or for children when they see that. Let's go to the phone lines. We got Marvin on the line.

Marvin, good morning. Hi, Marvin. Good morning, Henry. Good morning. Solomon, how y'all doing what's your thoughts uh i want to say this like i'm a young black man who has a young son and i do think pda is important for young kids to see especially in our communities and mainly because you know we go around listening to a lot of these songs and we're a little bit hypocritical you know a lot of these new new we're a little bit hypocritical. You know, a lot of these new young rappers talk about, you know, bust down this and doing all that.

So I do think it's important for our young kids to see that we do love each other and show affection to each other in a certain way. As long as you don't get

too crazy out of hand, you know, nothing wild. Yeah, there's a difference between PDA and foreplay. And I'm a person who grew up, man,

I don't remember getting all that love when I was a kid. You know what I'm saying? I don't remember person who grew up, man, I don't remember getting all that love when I was a kid. You know what I'm saying? I don't remember getting, especially from my pops, I don't remember getting, like, hugs and, you know, I love you's from my dad. So, you know, that does have an impact on you as you get older. So I want to be the father that absolutely positively shares that all throughout my household. Yeah.

I mean, I did get the love as a kid kid but my family my my six kids and my wife we are overly with it that's right um and i love it like and like i said i love seeing my kids together i love seeing even like you know i got a 17 month old in the crib my 17 month old can sense it in the house and she gives hugs and kisses and grabs faces and and big hugs and that's right that's because she's seeing her siblings which i love that. That's right. Hello, who's this? It's Pam. Hey, Pam. Good morning.

Good morning. Hi, Pam. To you and to Charlevagne. Love you both. Thank you. We have Flay Monroe here as well today, this morning. So I wanted to comment on the PDA. And I agree with it.

I have a daughter from a previous relationship and my husband has one as well and when we were dating I told him listen they need to see you know a healthy type of love so I think it's okay for us to kiss in front of them and hug in front of them so they know

what that looks like I agree with you yeah and he's gotten more comfortable with it. So I think it's good. As long as they ain't trying to address each other in front of the kids, then I think it's good.

That is lead by example. That's right. And listen, I agree with you. You shouldn't do anything that looks like foreplay, but I do like to embarrass my 14-year-old at this point.

I will run up behind my wife and, you know, like start thrusting. No, no. But I do that too. I do that. But she's 14 now.

So she understands. I'm doing that just to embarrass her, you know. But also, like, you know, my son is 19. And he'll do something. And I'll run up on him and I'll kiss him on the cheek. And I don't care. Like, that's my son. You're my son.

And I embarrass him, I know. But I show the love. See, the only problem with that is Logan looks like more of a man than you. You know what I'm saying? Like Logan Diesel. Like Logan should be on the front of Men's Health magazine so if people don't know that's your son, they're like, damn, maybe he got a little tender.

I saw him be kissing on a little tender. He got you a twink. He got you a twink. Oh my goodness. But what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is, man, spread love, man. Like that woman said that we so used to seeing unhealthiness now in our society that that love looks foreign to

people like man yes love on your people because you know time ain't tomorrow ain't promised right tomorrow this afternoon all right that's right the great the worst mistake we all make is thinking that we got time love on your people absolutely all right when we come back we got your rumor report and also let me shout out to the uh workers at raymoor and flanagan they delivered something is thinking that we got time. Love on your people. Absolutely. All right, when we come back, we got your rumor report. And also, let me shout out to the workers at Raymoor and Flanagan. They delivered something at my mom's crib. And when they delivered it,

they seen my picture, and it was like, that looked like DJ M, and they were super-duper polite, super-duper kind. They helped my mom with so many different things at the crib.

So my mom texted me this morning and said, make sure you shout out them young boys from Raymoor and Flanagan. Well, thank you. Thank you, brothers, for taking care of mom dukes and pop dukes. Well, thank you. Thank you, brothers, for taking

care of mom dukes and pop dukes. When we come back, we got your rumor report. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club on this Monday. We got our guest co-host, Flamin' Ro.

And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Pharrell. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report.

I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to Pharrell. Pharrell came back to the 757 with his own festival. It's called Something in the Water. And over the weekend, he had so many different performances

from Clips, Chris Brown, De La Soul, Grace Jones, Lil Wayne, Wu-Tang, Busta Rhymes, and so many more. The festival brings out a lot of people, always safe, and does a lot for the city. Now, day three was canceled due to the weather because the weather was just disgusting. And it was also streaming.

So shout to the whole 757 now. One of the dope things that I've seen over the weekend was uh well we can start off with chris brown chris brown was uh performing now pharrell also gives ch Brown his flowers before the performance. Now Pharrell, listen, there's only one you. There's only one you. And now he's giving his flowers again. Make some noise for Virginia's home. The dancer is singing this. Crazy is video making.

Singing dude in R&B and pop music until now make some noise for our brother Chris Brown yeah Chris Brown came out and killed it now also what I thought was probably one of the best performances of the week and what I've seen so far

and I think he's probably the best performer that I've ever seen as far as hip-hop is concerned. Busta Rhymes performed. Oh, absolutely. So Busta brought out Koi Larray and they did it together. He killed it. Busta did this new thing thatRae And they did it together He killed it Busta did this new thing

That I seen him do Where he's rapping And Spliffstar Which is hype man He comes up to Busta's mouth And like turns the volume Down on his mouth And while Busta's rapping

In that high tone He starts going And it goes all the way down They've been doing that For a while I haven't seen that In a long time I didn't see that at all

I think the thing about Busta that's so dope Is his energy level Is unmatched and he just has a a air of showmanship that you can't teach because when they did the hip-hop tribute on the grammys oh buster killed it no buster came out and shook it up baby i said come on and they're doing a tribute for the uh for the bt awards this year right um i'm the first queen of BET. I'm the first trans woman ever to be on BET. Really? They should have me hosted with you guys. I was the first one, for real.

At Comic View 2004. And in 2005, Cheryl Underwood and I had a big spat on Comic View. Highest rating Comic View of all the years. Wow. Well, then after Coyle Ray got off, she had something to say for all the haters out there. People talk every freaking day. Every day it's a hater on my mic. A new bitch got my name on her mouth.

Somebody's got something weird. But the best thing that got me here is my team. And of course, number one, God. You can't do it without them, period. So if you a selfish bitch and you want to own something, I'm going to do it myself. Don't be one of them. And also what she said that I thought was dope is she was like, you know, I'm always going to pay homage to the people that came before me. And she gave Busta Rhymes his flowers.

And I thought that was dope as well. That was Coil Array. So that was the Something in the Water Festival. Something in the Water. Now, also last week, Usher was sitting down with big boy out in la and he talked about how it would be if he did a versus with chris brown you know when it comes to versus yeah chris brown usher versus yep you know would you would you have done or would you do something like a versus yeah i mean me and chris will kill the world if we ever did something together like that. I'm not saying it's versus, but I will just say this.

If that ever happens, it'll be one of the biggest things that anybody has ever experienced in entertainment, in celebration of two people who love each other, because I love Chris. I don't like him. I don't like his music. I love his music. I love him. He's my little brother, and he's always been there for me,

and I've always been there with him. Through hard ups and down times,'s always been there for me. And I've always been there with him through hard ups and down times. I've been there with him. And, you know, for us to be able to celebrate what we do together, man, that'll be crazy. I'm going to just leave it there. Yeah, whatever y'all call it, whether it's a versus or a celebration of love or whatever it is. Usher takes that. And Chris Brown is dope. But I keep trying to tell y'all, there's certain people, catalogs, you don't want to go up against because they got nuclear weapons.

Usher got 20 nukes, bro. I want to hear the music, but I want to see the dance battle between them because both of them brothers can get it. Both of them brothers can dance. Chris will wash Usher with dancing. But Usher can still move, though. Envy? But Chris is a great dancer Chris can dance

Chris definitely I think Chris probably Got the upper hand When it comes to dancing When we talking about Songs When we talking about songs Come on man

Come on man And clearly And Chris Brown puts on A great show But clearly Usher puts on A great show Cause everybody running To Vegas every weekend

To watch Usher For how long now? Months Stop playing with Usher man Months I would not play with Usher Usher. For how long now? Months. Stop playing with Usher, man. Months. I would not play with Usher. Usher, you make me want to leave the one I'm with. Hey!

Come on. That's a nuke. That's a nuclear weapon. That is a nuclear bomb when you play a record like You Make Me Want It. That's right. And lastly, Flay Moreau, you were in the room of report. Have we seen over the weekend a couple days ago that your car caught on fire? Somebody tried to blow your car? Oh, i was attacked a child no it was an electrical issue

with the car and my my jeep wrangler is in the shop for the same thing so they gave me a rental car and a grand cherokee he did the same thing his lecture problem i don't know what's going on with jeep in chrysler but they better fix it when your weight caught on fire no it just it because they said that there was 8 000 no there's eight miles of wiring in these new cars you know all these chips and if one chip bad it could just mess up the whole car the car just erupted in fire if it hadn't been in my house it would have burned up my house where were you we were at um chris spencer's one hour taping chris spencer taped his one hour special for Netflix, and we were at the taping. And when we came out, the car was burned up.

Thank God you weren't driving. You weren't in it. Thank God I wasn't at home. I had left the dogs and ran in the store and left them in the car. Well, my 16-year-old, who won't go in the store, she'll just sit in the car. We don't know what happened. But, you know, I want to give out, this is my positive message, too, with this. You never know where an angel is going to come from.

So when I posted the picture, I should have posted that it just was electrical but we were waiting to get word from the fire marshals joe coy comedian joe coy inboxed me and say hey you okay and just sent me a couple of thousand dollars for no reason i said i don't need the money i would like to go on tour with you i really don't need the money but it was just the jester of the reason that i've never met joe coy i have interviewed him on laugh and learn on my podcast that's with black effect network but i've never met him face to face to put a hug around him and just for him to do that and i'm telling you so many comedians reached out done these videos let me tell you why i never

clap back at trolls or haters because if you're ugly there is nothing i can say to you that will hurt you more than you looking in the mirror and sending reflection there is nothing I can say to you that will hurt you more than you looking in the mirror and seeing the reflection that's looking back at you. There is nothing I can say that will hurt you more than you looking at your own face. That's right. So if you're ugly, you will never get a rise from me. If you're pretty, I might say something. But if you're ugly, I wonder why I never clap back. I don't have to.

But what if I don't think I'm ugly? That ain't got nothing to do with me. Sometimes you got to remind people. That's what the beauty of a good clap back is about. But that ain't how you go at them you attack the heart remember the spider-man you don't get the person you go after something they love you go after your mama should have had selective cuckoo because she wouldn't mess around with your daddy and then you wouldn't came out you ain't mad at me you mad at your mama for being so free oh you can say you

ugly you got your mama's features uh and And whoever she told you your daddy was, because good God. And that is your rumor report. All right. Catch me this weekend at Yonkers Comedy Club.

But you all right? I'm definitely all right. But I lost some shoes. I lost the jacket. I lost some wigs. Part of me was burned. Wow. That's sad.

The wigs and the shoes because this part ain. Wow. That's sad. The wigs and the shoes because this part ain't burned. That's burned. All right. When we come back, we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We'll see you guys tomorrow. And of course, Flame Monroe will be back tomorrow. And you can catch us on BET every morning at 9 a.m.

Again, I just want to salute to all the dance dads out there and cheer dads. This weekend, my daughters had competitions. And I love it because I'm seeing so many different people from so many different areas. This weekend, they competed against Philly, Delaware, and Maryland. So it was a pretty cool competition. Brooklyn was number one in her division. And then their whole group came out number one as well.

So congratulations to them and Tribe Body. Congratulations to Envy's daughter and Charlamagne's daughter. They were in competition. That's right. Encouragement. That's the positive. Y'all encourage our children. I'm telling you, that's how it flows over.

That is how it flows over. Absolutely. You got a positive, Charlamagne? Well, I just want to remind everybody that today is the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month as well. So I'll be doing a lot of events this month because, you know, I am a mental health advocate. And I want to say happy born day to a light in my life, a light in a lot of our lives, the good sister Rachel Edwards. Yesterday was her born day. Yes, Rachel.

Happy birthday. So happy born day to Rachel. She is definitely a light. And that's my positive note, man. Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone's life. Be the light that helps others see. It is what gives life its deepest significance. Breakfast club, bitches!

Y'all finished or y'all done? Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.

Check it. Did you know I wouldn't give up my seat? And I am up before Rosa in the club they call my name. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
