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 woman.

Keyword, our. So you need to get your ears fixed. You need to go get an ear surgery. You got your nose job. Now you need to get an ear job. Okay? You might got polyps in your ears. Shut up, man. Can you get polyps in your ears? Because clearly you can get polyps in all types of holes. I don't know.

Because I never heard of the polyps in your nose until you told me. Yeah. And I keep telling y'all all week, I got a colonoscopy in December. Colonoscopy, man. Whatever. It's in your butt. And I had zero polyps. Okay?

So maybe there's polyps in your butt and i had zero polyps okay so maybe there's problems in your ears too well you know uh you know boob job was the number one uh most popular cosmetic surgery now is liposuction yeah so that just came out yesterday on cnn i wonder who's talking about i wonder uh who's getting both and what i mean by that is there's a lot of men who want to get their boobs removed, right? Yes. Because men be having man boobs. Yep. And then there's a lot of men who are getting liposuction now.

So I wonder who's getting those. Like, what's the demographics of those surgeries? I'd like to know. Yeah, you know, but I think with the surgeries, I think it's creating a false sense of everything. Meaning? What do you mean? People don't want to work out anymore. People don't want to eat healthy now.

They don't want to do what's right because no matter what, you can pull it out, you can suck it out, you can cut it out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, bro. I ain't even had breakfast yet. Jesus Christ. My God. Jesus Christ. Talking about the fat. I don't know what you're talking about.

Kids are on their way to school. Jesus. Talk about liposuction. You can pull it out, you can suck it out, you can cut it out no matter what you do. Whoa! But if you don't change the lifestyle,

it's still not healthy. Your heart is still working extra. You'll still have clogged arteries. You'll still have high blood pressure, high cholesterol.

High cholesterol. What is it? You're right. High cholesterol. And the reality of the situation is it looks better when you actually change your lifestyle.

Do it the right way. If you're going to get the surgery, don't just go get the surgery. The ones that end up looking the best are the ones that still work out, eat right, all of that good stuff. Yeah. Because that can't be your routine. No, not at all. When you get out of shape, you just run to a surgeon. Yeah, a lot of people do, and they do it numerous times.

And they do it numerous times every couple of years. It's not healthy. I do find it interesting that nobody even lies to themselves no more about working out in the new year. No. It used to be a time where everybody would be like, oh, I'm going to get in shape, the gyms be packed. You know what I mean?

People done hung that up, huh? Now it's like, you want my doctor's number? My doctor will help you out. Now, my doctor, you want to go to Columbia or you want to go to DR? You know? Those kind of calls you're getting? No. I don't know why you're just going to be honest, but I'm not going to press you anymore.

I hate you. Your body, your choice. Shut up, man. All right. Well, we got front page news next. The Mega Millions, I'll tell you, if you are a winner or if nobody won. Did you play? I did play.

I played, too. How many tickets you bought? I bought $40 worth. No, I only bought 20. I bought $40 worth. Yeah, I bought 20. I bought 10 quick picks. Yeah, I bought 20 quick picks, but I'm not a winner.

Did anybody win? We'll talk about it when we come back. And today is a very special day. Play my joint. Guess whose birthday it is. That's my joint. It's my joint. Mary J. Blige, Be Happy. Okay, that is my song. Turn up! Whenever I'm feeling any type of anxiety, whenever I'm feeling depressed in any way, shape, or form, because as my therapist tells me,

anxiety and faith cannot coexist. So whenever that anxiety kicks in, I start telling myself my own hero story. And I like to tell myself my own hero story by playing this record as well. Well, today is Mary J. Blige's birthday. Come on now. So happy birthday to the queen, Mary J. Blige. Queen, goddess. You'll be doing mini-mixes all morning long.

Why? Because why not? Why not? That's Mary J. Blige, okay? We should be thankful that we live in a time that Mary J. Blige also lives in as well. That's right. We thank God for Mary J. Blige's existence. Drop on the clues bombs for Mary J. Blige.

That's right. Front page. And if you don't know this song verbatim, you don't have a soul. Good morning. Mary J. Blige. Happy, happy birthday, Mary J. Blige, by the way. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right. There is no winner of the Mega Millions jackpot. So right now is at $1.35 billion. It's the second largest in history. I still like that. And the reason I like that is because I didn't win.

So being that I didn't win. Gives you another chance. It's still hope. Right. You know? So, yeah, I'm happy't win. So being that I didn't win. Gives you another chance. It's still hope. Right. You know? So, yeah, I'm happy about that. So the next drawing is this Friday. So good luck to anybody out there.

By the way, playing the Mega Millions and the Powerball, it honestly just feels good. Because the reality of the situation is that's all folks want is a little bit of hope. You know what I'm saying? That's all. You can sell hope forever. You can't sell dope forever, but you can sell hope forever. But I want to see somebody win.. But I want to see somebody win. Like, I want to see somebody win.

I know somebody. Well, it's okay to be selfish here. Why the hell would we be playing it? I got a pocket full of Mega Millions right now. Not a pocket full. I actually got one ticket. Look at my ticket right here. Let me see your ticket. I know you got it.

It's a loser. Now, mine's in my car. I don't care if it's a loser. You know why I don't care? By the way, this might not be a loser. And that's the other thing. Y'all don't check y'all tickets because y'all don't hit the jackpot. But I go in there sometime

and I get my $2, my $4, because I got a Powerball or two. And man, I'd be happy. I'd be grateful for that extra $4. You know what I'd do with it? I'd check mine. What?

I'd reinvest it back in the bank. You'd buy me a million tickets. Every single time. Goodness gracious. I got to check mine. Now, at least 17 people are dead out in California. This is because of massive flooding

they're saying uh more than 200 000 homes have been affected and more than uh 200 000 businesses have no power now this is all because of like i said the massive flooding and people have been leaving california like crazy so definitely if you got family in california somebody you know give them a call check up on them and pray for him continuously. Very sad. Now, Joe Biden. This is what I'm I'm a little confused. Maybe you could help me out a little bit. Now, the House Oversight Committee is investigating classified documents found at Biden's office. Now, they're saying that Biden's attorneys were cleaning out his office in Washington, D.C. This was the time when Trump was in office, when he had an office, of course, outside of the White House. They found these documents. And when they found these documents outside of the White House, they found these documents.

And when they found these documents, why did they tell anybody they found these classified documents? This is the goddamn Department of Justice. Why wouldn't they tell people? What are you talking about? I would hope my attorneys wouldn't tell nobody. I don't think the Department of Justice is his personal attorney. No, they said his personal attorneys. They made it seem like his personal attorneys found it cleaning out his office. Well, they're doing the right thing.

That's what you're supposed to do. What are they supposed to do? Cover for President Biden? Classified documents? You're not supposed to bring classified documents home if you're a sitting official. From what I was told, didn't they just get on Trump's ass about that? They sure did. Now, we talk about double standards in the media.

As soon as I heard that about Joe Biden, President Biden, I said to myself, well, what's the difference between Trump having classified documents and Biden having classified documents? Biden says he doesn't even know what's in them. And then literally, if you go online, you see NBC News, CNN, they already writing think pieces, right? Caping for Biden saying that, you know, there's a big difference. Well, I don't understand a big difference. Classified documents is classified documents. Well, that's what I thought.

But they say the Justice Department prosecutes the mishandling of classified documents when there is an aggravating fact the president and those factors are obstruction of justice uh storage in a way that risks risk exposure willful violation and disloyalty to the united states so i guess they're saying you know trump checks off trump's boxes check off all those factors and biden does it i don't know. This isn't Charlemagne Tha God talking. This is just what I'm reading in these reports. That's what they're saying the difference is.

Well, Biden spoke about it. When my lawyers were clearing out my office at the University of Pennsylvania, they set up an office for me, secure office in the Capitol. And as soon as they did, they realized there were several classified documents in that box and they did what they should have done they immediately called the archives and i was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office but i don't know what's in the documents i've my lawyers have not suggested i asked what documents they were. And we're cooperating fully with the review,

which I hope will be finished soon. And there'll be more detail at that time. All I'm seeing in all these situations is all these folks do the same thing. And depending on what side you're on, you care or you don't care. Depending on what side you're on, you vilify or you don't vilify.

That's what I take from it now lastly uh this might make me turn to republicans all right now let me tell you whoa pull it out and suck it out yo shut up now the republican uh house representatives will vote on a bill if they can get it passed that will abolish the irs that's right they're trying to pass a bill that will abolish the IRS. That's right. They're trying to pass a bill that will abolish the Internal Revenue Service and that will eliminate the national income tax and replace it with a national consumption tax. That's not enough to make me turn fascist. I'm just joking, but I would definitely support this bill.

If Republicans weren't the party full of fascists right now, I'd want to hear more. Eliminate the national income tax? What does that mean, though? That don't mean just because they get rid of the IRS, that don't mean that they're not going to put something else in place to take our damn money out of our chest. Well, they said consumption tax, so when you consume certain items, whether it's alcohol or cigarettes or cannabis or whatever it may be, they'll charge a little higher for that, but they won't be charging anybody's check out there. So if you work wherever you work and they take that 15, 20, 30, 8, 40%,

that's all your money. You know what's going to happen in that situation. You'll take inflation high now. If they ever got rid of income tax, inflation would be through the roof. But if you think about it. I went to Krispy Kreme the other day. A dozen donuts was $23, man.

That's crazy. A dozen. All I got was six original glazed and six with the strawberry frosting and the sprinkles for the kids, man. You a fat ass. And it was $23. But think about it. They always say, you know, they always raise taxes, but then they always send $3.5

billion to this country or $300 million to this country. Where do they find the money to send to all these other countries? But when it comes to our country, they don't. Bro, it's clearly our tax money. Yeah, right. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I understand that. I wouldn't tell nobody either. I'd be super anonymous.

Listen, he was put that completely. I wouldn't tell nobody either. I'd be super anonymous. Listen, he was put that anonymous. And these men was on track to just bang you a chicken start, okay? Your phone sound like you need to win the lottery to buy a better one. But I think what you're saying is that a bunch of men started hollering at her. Yep. Because she won the lottery? Correct. Okay.

Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, who's this? Why? Hey, who's this? Why you yelling, bro? Stop screaming. Yo, stop screaming. Hold up, hold up. I'm out here driving this truck this morning.

But why you screaming? Bro, I'm trying to get off. I'm kind of mad this morning. Because you didn't win the Mega Millions? No, and I got to drive this truck. But we need to get this off. They got cowboys. If we don't win this week, we need to get rid of the whole team.

We don't need to get rid of the whole team. We don't need to get rid of the whole team, but we need to get rid of Mike McCarthy. Come on, Charlamagne. Come on, Charlamagne. We got to get rid of them. No, we got to get rid of Mike McCarthy. I'm going to tell you something, though, King. Are you ready for this? Come on. We're going to lose the wild card game, bro.

I already know that. You know what I'm saying? I already know that. I have no faith in your team. We're going to lose the wild card game, bro. I already know that. You know what I'm saying? I already know that. I have no faith in your team. We're going to lose the wild card game. Tom Brady is undefeated against the Cowboys. The Cowboys are 1-4 on grass. Dak Prescott has been playing horribly. I don't know what has happened to our defense.

I have no faith in us. If we win, I'll be happy, but I don't have no expectations. I wouldn't bet. I definitely ain't betting. But I just wanted to say one thing. This is OG from the 757. And can I give a shout out

to my peoples? Go ahead, man. I'm going to shout out to the Southern Hospitality Food Cup. We've been down there four years. We went through COVID, and we tried, and we're doing good i blow the horn one time brother here we go i and i'm up in new york city all right brother be safe all right hello who's this what's happening here we did a lot of this what's up brother get off your chest all right

just want to tell for a lot of their florida all the people with the small black businesses, we need to go a little harder this year. We need to try to really compete with the big people far as make sure your presentation, make sure everything looks good. Make sure you bring the best services to your community. You know, and then also one thing is with the black celebrities. How about we start investing with the small communities? You know, not Papa John's and all the other big names. So just hope we have a good 2023.

You know, Uncle Charlotte back there. Yeah, I'm right here. I agree with you, but you know, there's nothing wrong with investing in Papa John's, especially if Papa John's is in your local community because Papa John's is providing jobs as well and you got people in your local community

who might be franchise owners of those places. That's true, but if you're making $2,000,000, $3,000,000, $4,000,000, you got an extra $500,000 to go to a little small company, a little $100,000 or whatever. You can help them build themselves up, and they can bring in some people as well. I agree with that, too. I think it all helps.

Yep. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

This is what I realized in life. Short individuals are always jealous, especially short individuals that can't grow no hair on top of their head. So that's just who he is. So you just got to let him go.

You just got to understand. He's just jealous of me. I am not jealous of Envy. I love Envy. I just don't see the head. So that's just who he is. So you just got to let him go. You just got to understand. He's just jealous of me. I am not jealous of Envy. I love Envy. I just don't see the problem. Like, he got a nose job. I did not. He clearly got just for men on his beard.

He clearly got the hairline surgery. I did not. And I want him to tell his secret. So other people might feel like they want to do a little improvement on themselves, too. I ain't got no problem with him treating himself. You got to start packing you up, bro. You ball-headed with a ball spot.

Start playing. First of all, first of all, first of all, Morris Chestnut said that he gets mistaken for me. That's a damn lie. So both of y'all can kiss my ass. That's a lie, bro. You look like Morris Left Nut, Big Sullivan. Hey, I look like Morris.

As long as Morris and Nut I look like, I'm fine. Mellow, goodbye, man. Hello, who's this? Yeah, what's going on, Breakfast Club? This is Mr. Dingo. Dingo 0935. How y'all doing, man? What's up, brother?

That is a disgusting name. He calls all the time, Mr. Dingo, man. Mr. Dingo. Right. Come on. Thank you. Good morning, Dingo. Dingo, dangle.

Dingo, get it off your chest, brother. Good morning. What's up, guys? Happy New Year. I'm glad to have y'all back on the show. And, man, I want to actually take your brain, Charlemagne. I don't know if you heard about what was going on with the Doctor Strange actor. You know, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Have you heard about the crazy stuff him and his family left him? No. What happened? Dude, his family is facing legal pressure to pay reparations in connection to their ancestors being linked to the barbado slave trade well it's on npr what the la time said benedict cumberbatch is not facing slavery reparation yes i don't know but there's a bunch of stories that say benedict cumberbatch's ancestors got rich from slavery but he's not facing slavery reparations hello who's who's this? This is my angel. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Get it off your chest. Listen, I want to be on the show. I think y'all should have me as y'all new Angelique. Well, we are going to start rotating guest hosts soon. You know what I mean?

We just wanted to get acclimated to the studio. Actually, we got a guest host coming tomorrow. You need to rotate me. All right, well, last night was the Golden Globes. Give us some information.

Go. The Golden Globes. Ah, you information. Go. The Golden Globes? Nah, you caught me. Come on now. You know what's interesting though? I would like to know what would you talk about? Like what would you want to talk about this morning if you was on the radio? Go.

Anything. I can talk about anything. Anything that's coming right now. That's not how this works. You can't even say that because you just said you could talk about anything. But if he just asked you about the Golden Globes last night and you ain't even know nothing. I don't watch the Golden Globes. But that's anything. Last time I checked, that's anything.

Anything. You know, SWV. You have a good one, mama. That's fine. You can get acquainted with anything fast. I'm a fast learner. If you tell me to watch the Golden Globes, I could watch it five minutes and come up with something. It was last night, though.

I understand that, but... I'm just messing with you, mama. No, listen. I know you are. That's why I'm not taking it to heart. But understandably, if that's your job and that's something that you do, then I'm going to take that seriously. Me, as a regular viewer or something, I don't really watch the Golden Goals. But if that were to be my job,

that's something that would be on ASAP. Baby, you don't have to talk to us like you're in a job interview. This is not a job interview. You are not, you know, being interviewed right now for any type of position. You don't have to speak to us like that. But I will say this, man.

We are going to start rotating guest hosts soon. And the reason that I know it's going to take a long time for us to find somebody else to be in this position is because people think this is easy. I'm not sitting here acting like we're doing rocket science here. But to wake up every day,

Monday through Friday, it ain't just getting on this microphone and running your damn mouth. No. Okay? It's just not. And I know it seems like that in the world that we live in

because everybody got a podcast and everybody got a YouTube show and everything else. But this morning grind is very, very different.

Well, you be happy that you alive. Well, this week is a three-day weekend. It's Martin Luther King day on Monday. Hey, we taking another break, and we just got back.

I think schools closed. I got to do that for the big Martin. We got to do that for the coaches. I have a dream that I would not be here on Monday.

I think I'm going to do a party. I might throw Martin on a party. I have a dream party. Don't do that. Don't be one of them niggas. I'm just joking. By the way, I'm trying not to say the N be here on Monday. I think I'm going to do a party. I might throw Martin on a party. I have a dream party. Don't do that. Don't be one of them niggas. I'm just joking. By the way, I'm trying not to say the N-word no more.

I really am. That is my resolution. But when you say stuff like that, you make me say it. You one of them people that will be standing next to Martin Luther King Jr. on a flyer and have Martin Luther King Jr. holding a bottle of D'Ussé or something stupid. You be pointing. See what I'm saying? Don't do that.

I'm pointing at your nose job. Yo, shut up. Let's get to the rumors. We're talking Golden Globes. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm 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. You're not about to hear one rumor. All right. Well, the Golden Globes was last night.

Did you watch it? No. I watched like the last 40 minutes. I forgot it was on. I don't be candid about that kind of stuff. But when they told me Gerard Carmichael was hosting, I did turn it on. Well, he was hosting last night, and we have a snippet of his opening monologue, right? I am your host, Gerard Carmichael.

Sure. Sure, sure, sure. And I'll tell you why I'm here. I'm here because I'm black that's all I got huh is it true that Gerard Carmichael was the first black host of the Golden Globes that can't be true right I don't know that's a good question

in 80 years I have no idea it's really crazy how much white institutions don't F with others for real. In 2023, are we still talking about him being the first black person to hold the Golden Globes? I'm not celebrating that. If it's true. Eddie Murphy picked up an award last night, and when achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind. It's a blueprint, and I've followed it my whole career.

It's very simple. There's three things you do. Just do these three things. Pay your taxes. True. Mind your business. True. Mind your business. True. True.

And keep Will Smith's wife's name. Now, who's that a joke to? Is that a joke towards Will or a joke towards Chris? Or both? It's just a joke. Both. Just a joke? Yeah, just both.

Just both. Feels kind of old and dated. I mean, I wanted more from Eddie Murphy. You know what I mean? Because what Eddie gave us, I guess, in that last 15 seconds is what I needed for the whole thing. Because we don't hear from Eddie much. Not much. So when I see him on stage in front of a microphone, I want to hear more.

Right. By the way, not just from Eddie. By everybody. Because nobody cares about all the people you need to thank. I am so sick of people just getting up there. What are you thinking, folks? He thanks his family. He thanked his kids. Yeah. He thanked God. He did that in an email. Because nobody cares about all the people you need to thank. I am so sick of people just getting up there and thanking folks. He thanks his family. He thanked his kids.

He thanked God. Do that in an email. He do that in an email. He thanked God. You can do that on stage. I'm with that. Okay. I thought you were going to say do that in an email.

No, you can do that. You know. But, all right. So, some of the winners. Best performance by an actress in a television series went to Quinta Brunson for Abbott Elementary. Man, so deserving.

And best actress in a supporting role in any motion picture was Angela Bassett, Black Panther, Wakanda forever. Now, I know that was the first. That was the first. She's the first person in a Marvel movie to win a major award.

That I know. Yes, let's hear her speech. To my Marvel Disney family, weeping, weeping may come in the evening, but joy comes in the morning. We embarked on this journey together with love. We mourned, we loved, we healed, and we were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman. And we have joy in knowing that, well, with this historic Black Panther series, it is a part of his legacy that he helped to lead us to. We showed the world what Black unity, leadership, and love looks like beyond, behind, and in front of the camera. And to the Marvel fans, thank you for embracing these characters and showing us so much love.

We just made history with this nomination and with this award. Now that's an acceptance speech. Drop on the clues, Blonde Angela. She combined it all. Gratitude, thank yous for the crew and the production companies and all that. And she told us something.

I'm just sick of people getting up there and just thanking folks. That is not entertaining. Thank those people in the email. When you hit that stage, I want to see you give all glory to God.

Then give me some type of monologue. Okay, I don't want to hear acceptance thank yous. I want to hear acceptance speeches. All right. Hire some writers to give you some bars

Salute to SZA. I like this album a lot. I listen to it a lot over the holidays. All right. Well, morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy, Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, just a quick reminder, Mega Millions jackpot is $1.35 billion, the second largest in history.

No winner claimed Tuesday's prize. Nobody won. So you got a chance to win some more money. So I think the next drawing is Friday. So good luck. Now, how do we feel about buying multiple tickets for the Mega Millions? I'm the type of person that feels like, you know, if it's your, if God is going to bless you with that, then, you know, you don't have to buy $100 worth of tickets.

I spent $20. I do $40. I bought 10 quick picks. I do $40. You did $40? I do $40 super and $40 quick pick. Yeah, because I feel sorry for the people who go out there and, you know, spend $500 on a bunch of Mega Millions tickets. That's a waste of money because all it takes is one.

And I understand you might think, oh, you know, the more numbers, the more opportunities to win. But if it's going to be yours, it's going to be yours with that one. There'll be somebody that go in there and spend a dollar. Well, not a dollar, but two dollars. And hit it. All right. Well, turn music down. This is interesting.

This is juicy. This is spicy. Now, out in Tennessee. Pull it out. A small few stupid man. Now, out in Tennessee, a small Tennessee police station has been rocked by allegations of wild sexual misconduct after a married female officer, Caucasian, allegedly had steamy romps with six male officers. You know what I hate about this? What? There's a news report.

We got the news report? I'm sure they didn't. Damn, nah. I'm reading it back. All right. So, now, the officer and her fellow law officers allegedly engaged in wild sex capades that included sending dirty pictures, taking off her top at a girls-gone-wild hot tub party, and even having oral sex with two officers. Now-

Get the news report, somebody. She was telling everybody in the barracks and everybody in the police station that one of the gentlemen that she was having sex with had a big black She really said that. She really said that. She said she had performed a sex act on him while the pair were on the clock.

Now, six of them were fired. Now, two of them were suspended. Now, the ones that were fired were because they had sex on the clock that's the problem the other ones well they were suspended and i don't know why they were suspended if all of this stuff is happening off the clock i don't have a problem with any of it you know what i'm saying but the stuff that's happening on the clock that's when it becomes a problem because you know you're interfering with your work now

this story is wild for a number of reasons. Why? Because she was sleeping with all these black dudes. She's a little white girl. Little white girl. It's a picture in the NY Times of her eating fried chicken, screen beans and macaroni and cheese. I don't know what that has to do with anything. I just found it humorous.

Okay. She was getting piped down. All right. She let about, how many was it? Like six cops, right? Yeah, six cops. Like six different cops hit. I'm not mad at her.

Her body, her choice. If it wasn't interfering with her work, wasn't causing problems in the workplace, it was like six cops right yeah six cops like six different cops hit i'm not mad at her her body her choice if it wasn't interfering with her work wasn't causing problems in the workplace what's the problem other than other than them doing it on the clock because there's no power dynamics in this situation no they all offices correct you know so having off the clock that's right if that cop wants to pop lock it drop it who are we to judge they said her husband was cool with it was an open marriage allegedly and he was a cuck what what are you cooking what was his favorite dish they call him a couple that's like a like a dude that allows his wife to smash and he watched the story i read i didn't see that part no no no no he said he saw them kiss and they used the word cuck oh yeah yeah but he said

oh you really you really read this story they had me at the headline the headline was tennessee cop hold on what did it say tennessee cops including married female officer fired after repeated wild sex romps they had me so let's open up the phone lines eight oh you got the official news report oh we got the news i just want to hear the official news report let's listen tonight five laverne police officers were fired and three were recently suspended after an investigation found one officer was in intimate relationships with several other officers. According to the human resources director for the city, the mayor got an anonymous tip that a female officer was engaging in sexual relations with at least three other male officers. She also reportedly sent nude photographs and

explicit videos to multiple co-workers. The HR director recommended the firings and suspensions and the mayor signed off on that decision. Yeah, your report was better. Yeah. Now this is when having two men on the show is going to jump the shark because as I said, she was, you know, getting piped down. She let six other cops hit. I'm not mad at her. It's her body, her choice. If it wasn't interfering with her work, if she was doing things, you know, consensually, wasn't causing no problems in the workplace, what's the problem? There was no power dynamic in this situation. Right.

They all officers, you know, if she wants to sleep with six different people and her husband is fine with that, I have no issue. Now, the two that got caught at work doing it, I totally get it. I totally understand why that's a fireable offense. So let's open up the phone lines. What's wrong with having sex or relationships with co-workers outside of work? Outside of work. Even TJ Holmes.

Their relationship was outside of work. Now, I'm not doing that. Where's Dr. Wimbledon when you need him? That is a whole different conversation. It's the same Dr. Wimbledon situation. I don't want to do that whataboutism. Let's just keep it here 800-585-1051 let's talk about a beautiful queen at home all right all right but regardless they were doing snow bunny fever i don't have nothing that that has nothing to do with nothing let them work see fever you'll be on pornhub okay 800-585-1051 what's wrong with having a relationship with somebody that you work with that's the question outside of work if it's not interfering with work

if you're not doing anything you know at the job if it's not causing problems in the workplace what's the issue let's talk about it 800-585-1051 if we sound foolish all right it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

What's happening? Good morning. It's hump day, so this is a hump day story, damn it. Oh, my goodness. They humping, humping, humping in Nashville. Is that Nashville? Tennessee. Tennessee.

Is that Virginia? That's just Tennessee. Is it Nashville, though? Nashville, Tennessee. It is. Yeah. Okay. I don't know if it's Nashville.

I don't know if the city is Nashville. That's what I'm asking you. No. It's Laverne. Laverne. Never Nashville, Tennessee. It is? Yeah. Okay. I don't know if it's Nashville. I don't know if the city is Nashville. That's what I'm asking you. No. It's Laverne. Laverne's. Never heard of it. Me neither. All right.

So let's fill you in. All right. So some Tennessee cops, including a married female that she loves the way another cop looks because he had a big black. That's right. Yes. She let like six other cops hit. Yes.

Or five other cops. I mean, you could turn it around. You could say she smashed six guys. She smashed five other other cops hit. Yes. Or five other cops. I mean, you could turn it around. You could say she smashed six guys. She smashed five other guys. Yep, yep, yep. Well, two of them have been suspended. Three or four of them have been fired. And the guys that have been fired is because they had, I believe, sex on the job.

I understand that. That's the one I understand. The guys that she had sex with on the job, I understand them getting fired. But other than that, I'm not mad at her. It's her body, her choice. If it wasn't interfering with her work, wasn't causing problems in the workplace, what is the problem? There's no power dynamic in this situation. They're all opposites.

If that female cop, you know, wants to sleep with other police officers off duty, what is the problem here? Now, here's the issue I have. I'm listening. Why are all these adults talking? Well, that was her problem. She shouldn't have been telling anybody unless somebody seen it. But she shouldn't have been telling anybody. She shouldn't have been minding her business.

She's bragging about the size of the penis. She's topping. You know what I mean? They shouldn't have had that conversation. A situation like that, you're supposed to get told on. Like somebody's supposed to say, you know that she be out here smashing this person and smashing that person. But why are you telling your own business? You a grown adult.

You know what I mean? Nobody needs to know who you sleeping with. See, this is my problem. Like for most people, when they work, they work eight hours a day, nine to five, right? You work nine to five or you work, you know, eight to four. So the people that you're around the most is the people that you work with. So who are you most likely to have a relationship with? It's more likely that you'll be attracted to somebody

that you see all the time. That's right. If you work at the post office or you work at Amazon or FedEx or an office building, you're around somebody 8, 9 hours a day, you're more likely to talk to them because when you get off work, you're usually tired, you go home, you go to sleep.

So you're more likely to date them see them smash them so i don't see a problem with them as long as it doesn't affect your job y'all having conversations y'all correct emotional connections like things can happen so once again the story is wild because she's a young white woman sleeping with all these black dudes and you really need to go to the NY Times and look at the picture of her eating fried chicken, spring beans, and macaroni and cheese. I don't know what that have to do with anything, but that picture says a lot.

That picture says a lot. And if that woman wants to let those men pipe, I don't see the problem as long as it's not interfering with work and as long as it's not happening at work. Hello, who's this? This is Rochelle B. Hey, Rochelle. Good work hello who's this this is rochelle b hey rochelle good morning what's your thoughts rochelle i think that uh this man who had the big black thing was hitting at that um the little white girl that he should be suspended i think he should have the same thing and another race oh yeah

oh you you go to dr whom i school so you want to suspend him because a black brother was knocking down a white girl? First of all, Jesus did not tell people to go and sleep with other races. He said, stay with your own kind. So yeah, he should be suspended. I'm not going to say by him, but a little bit upset about that. What scripture was that? Listen, God did not tell everybody to go sleep with other races. He said, stay with your own.

He ain't going to just stay sick Sally and sick Juke. No. What? I don't know. I don't know what you just said. Thank you, Mama. I know that Noah bought two pairs of everything on the boat, but maybe they were the same color. What?

Or the arc. I'm sorry. Goodness, he's at the boat. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Wendy. Hey, MV. Hey, Wendy. How you'm sorry. Goodness, he's at the boat. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Wendy. Hey, Envy. Hey, Wendy. How you guys doing?

Peace, Wendy. What's happening? What's your thoughts? So, this is my opinion. I must go with a Haitian accent because this is annoying. Okay? Sac passe. Sac passe.

Sac passe. So, let this be a lesson to the people of breakfast club. You don't caca when you eat. You don't what? You don't poop when you eat. You don't caca when you eat. You don't hear? Oh, got you, got you.

I don't care. I don't care. I mean, think about it. It's like six degrees of penis separation. Everyone's sleeping with each other. I mean, if she's f***ing one, she's f***ing the other one. Did anyone do STD testing? That's nasty. That's nasty.

Well, maybe they know what type of insurance benefits they got, so they weren't worried about FTDs. They know what health insurance they got. But, mama, where do you work at, mama? Where do you work at? Where do you work? Well, me, I have two jobs. I'm a personal care aide, and I work at a boarding school. Okay, so it's more likely if you work all day long,

you're more likely going to be more connected to somebody you work with because you're always at work, right or wrong? Oh, no, thank you. Okay, so it's more likely if you work all day long, you're more likely going to be more connected to somebody you work with because you're always at work, right or wrong? Oh, no thank you. Everybody palm-colored. No thank you. What I'm noticing a pattern here. None of us like these interracial hookups is what I'm getting from this. Jesus, alright.

Mike Lee could have never made Jungle Fever in this era. That'd be outrage. 800-585-1051. We're talking about these Tennessee cops. Now, a small Tennessee white woman police officer, she was married. How small is she? I can see her picture. She looks small. Well, something big.

She's taking a lot of penises. Right. Well, she was having sex romps at work. We believe they were all black brothers. I don't know if they was all black, but at least from the pictures I saw. Yeah, she said that they had big black, you know what I mean. She said one of them had a big black, a BBC.

Go ahead and say BBC. Use the point of language. One of them had a BBC. Three of them were fired. Four of them were fired. Two of them were just suspended. And we're asking why. You're missing some context. What's that? She did sleep with two of them at work or something. I got them off at the gym and the police station.

Yes, I understand that. I understand that happening. If you did it at work, I get it. But everything that happened off duty, not at the workplace. I don't see the problem. Eight hundred five, eight, five, one, oh, five. One call us up right now. And also today is Mary J. Blige's birthday.

So we're going to be playing some Mary all morning long. We're going to get into a little Mary mini-mix. Happy birthday. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about something that's going on in Tennessee. Now, a Tennessee police station has been rocked by allegations of wild sexual misconduct.

A married female officer allegedly had steamy roms with six male officers. Now, two of them have been suspended. A couple of them fired. The reason that they were fired because allegedly they had sex in the police gym and the police station. Totally understand that. But the other ones getting suspended, we don't necessarily understand because they didn't have it on duty. They had it outside of work. Her husband was allegedly a cuck, meaning he likes this type of thing.

They had an open marriage. She was sending dirty pictures and she even was sending text messages and said one of them had a big black you know what. Yeah, like you said, they were sending dirty pictures. There was another instance in the article that said she took her top off at a Girls Gone Wild hot tub party. Yep. It's a Girls Gone Wild hot tub party. When is it supposed to happen? Okay?

And they said she even had oral sex with a couple of officers at the police station. That I understand them being fired for if you're doing it at work. But if you wasn't causing no problems in the workplace. If it wasn't interfering with your work. If If you're doing it at work. But if you wasn't causing no problems in the workplace. If it wasn't interfering with your work. If you wasn't doing it at work. What's the problem? There's no power dynamic in this situation. They're all officers.

If that cop wants to pop, lock it, drop it, who are we to judge? Yeah, you're right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. So please go look at the picture of her eating that fried chicken with the string beans and the macaroni and cheese. With a big smile on her face. Surrounded by black police officers. Hello, who's this? That's Koli Red, calling from Charleston, South Carolina.

843, what's happening in the Chuck this morning? Good morning, Mama. Good morning, y'all. What's your opinion? I feel as if you want to have Texas Joko, but to be respectful, I guess that's fine, but as far as this lady, she's married. So, you know, a lot of these military jobs, officer jobs, police officers, they hold integrity on and side their business as part of their policy.

Well, she said the husband was good about it. Yeah, she said the husband was good about it. Well, I mean, that's still a form of adultery, though. A lot of these places, like, where the officers or police officers work, they don't play that. Because adultery is not only a sin, it's a crime, so to speak. So that can get you sued and arrested. So a lot of these places don't want you doing that while you're working for them because it can fall back on them. Yeah, but even if it's off-duty?

It's off-duty. Hello, who's this? A-Dam. Good morning. Good jam. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Now, what's your thoughts on what's happening in Tennessee? So, I don't think that it's right for anybody to be messing around in an open relationship,

whether it be at work, at school, with friends, with strangers, and it has to do more so with the medical aspect of it. I mean, you're talking about catching diseases and things like that, but we're talking about possibly getting fired. I mean, that too. I mean, yeah, diseases, of course, but there's a lot of f***ing diseases that people don't

know about that aren't even tested in men and women. So even if you have an open relationship and you get an STD panel, it's not going to show HPV. Okay. You a party pooper. You feel me?

Like men, there's no test for men. What do you mean there's no test for men? Oh, as far as HPV is concerned? Oh, you didn't know this? You're talking about for HPV. How old are you? I'm asking. You're talking about for HPV, right?

Yeah, there's no test for men. Men cannot be tested. Why do you think, like, women, all of a sudden, they're in a relationship for, like, 10 years, and then all of a sudden the woman comes back HPV positive, and she's now 30 years old? Well, I don't like how you flipped this on the men. I don't like how you flipped this on the men, because in this situation, this young lady was the one who slept with five different people. No, no, no, i feel you on that but what i'm saying is women aren't tested for hpv

until they're after 30 years old oh got you no test for men okay thank you mom well thank you for the hpv psa man hello who's this yo i'm just gonna go i'm just gonna go by blank man all right blank man what, what's your thoughts? Hey, man, it's more exciting, man. I've done it plenty of times, man. I go to medical buildings and hospitals, man. He's married with me, man. They'll see a nice young man come in that ass like they've never seen it before.

You heard? What's your name? Don't worry about it, man. It's like, man. you're what's your name I'm playing a role I'm a new character When I go to work When I'm at home You feel me? Let me just tell you One thing brother What you gotta do Is you gotta call

Your service Whether you got ATTT mobile Or whatever And you gotta block Your name on it Because your whole name Came up

Mike, I can tell you your name is not really Mike because your name pops up on our call ID. But go ahead, we'll rock with you, Mike. Okay. What's your thoughts? No, you know,

it's okay. You know what I'm saying? You can smash your co-worker. This is all you. I'll smash my co-worker. You know what I'm saying? What? I get it.

So you're smashing your coworkers right now, but if your job finds out, you know you could be fired. Well, they don't know that we're smashing, but they know that we're together. But this is all we can't do. As long as we ain't doing that to jobs, it's okay. You know what I'm saying? That's how I feel.

But at the same time, they found out. The manager found out. The manager found out. The supervisor found out first. Then the manager found out. When the manager found out, they just changed our schedule. Hold on. You said the script club. No, not the script club.

Oh. No, no, no. I said they found out that we was interacting with each other, and they changed our schedule. And that don't even matter, because it's not like y'all interacting with each other and they changed our schedule. And that don't even matter because it's not like y'all interacting with each other at work anyway. Right.

All right. Hey, man. Thank you, Mike. All right. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is I understand it all. I understand why this cop got fired, especially for topping other officers off at the workplace.

But I still believe what you do outside of the workplace is your business okay if it wasn't interfering with her work wasn't causing problems in the workplace i don't see the problem with it but furthermore adults if y'all are getting it in outside of the workplace can you keep it to yourself absolutely can you can you keep it between the people that you're sleeping with do you have to brag to the world i don't care how big the penis is. Goodness gracious. You don't got to tell nobody. That's how y'all be getting jammed up. You talk too damn much.

I got a tooth removed yesterday by the way I know I called you You sounded like Why you sounding like that? I just left the dentist I didn't know I was going to have To have a tooth removed Cause

I had a tooth that's going like inward. Uh-huh. Like it's not lined up. So the dentist just decided to remove it. Just take it out. And then I'm going to get them implants in the back. Are you going to get veneers? No, I'm not going to get the whole thing.

But just in the back so I can have some back teeth. So you ain't got back teeth right now? I don't think so. Don't open your mouth for me. You got to have back teeth. You ain't got no back teeth, boy I don't think so. Don't open your mouth for me. You got to have back teeth. You ain't got no back teeth, boy. That's when you really know it's over. That's when you get free pancakes at IHOP.

You got to have your back teeth, man. Make sure you got back teeth. That's why I'm not mad at nobody who be getting veneers. You got to get your back teeth. So as soon as it's Invisalign, the top Invisalign, all the teeth up here are straightening up so she says.

So once the bottom is straightened up, I'm definitely getting them veneers in the back. All right. I mean, I know you like it in the back, but all right,

when we come back, we got your rumor report. Why? There's no reason for that. It's children listening. Gunna posted on his Instagram feed for the first time since being released

from jail in December. So we'll talk about that. We'll tell you what he had to say. So't move it's the breakfast club good morning all right morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk el de barge rumor has it rumor rumor has it call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting 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.

When are we going to stop calling this the Rumor Report? Ain't no damn rumors. I don't know. But El DeBarge. Explain to the people who El DeBarge is. You all want to explain stuff. El DeBarge is an R&B singer. He's a legend when it comes to a lot of the hits he's put out.

His family are legendary. That's your uncle, right? It's not my uncle. I do get mistaken like I should be part of their family. And if you don't know who El DeBarge is, can we play a little bit of this song? I had some problems. Yeah. All right.

Everybody over 40 think you one of the DeBarges. I am not. I can see why they think that. Yeah. Well, El DeBarge has been arrested and hit with several charges, including drugs and weapon possession, after being stopped at a gas station in California. He's also known to be in trouble in the last couple of years of getting arrested for drugs and drugs possession, drug paraphernalia and all of that. He clearly has a substance abuse problem. So it's just like, why do people like that?

You know, instead of arresting them, why not send them to some type of rehab facility it doesn't seem like jail is what that man needs that man needs you know some type of cleanup i would think well they're saying that the illegal weapon is uh they found some pepper spray and suspected narcotics they said i have pepper spray i have no idea what yep they found a baton no gun i don't it's they say weapon Yep, they found a baton. No gun. They say weapon possession. No, they found a baton, which is an illegal weapon. They found pepper spray and suspected narcotics.

They said they believe he also had not a valid driver's license. That's why nuance matters. And that's why headlines are so dangerous. Because I saw that headline. I just assumed it was a gun. I thought so too. You know what I mean? Pepper spray.

And a baton. You can't have pepper spray? And a baton. You can't have pepper spray? And a baton. That's what police officers carry all the time. Yeah, but shout out to Elder Barge. I know he listens every morning, but like you said, he needs help. He needs to get arrested. Wait a minute.

How the hell you know Elder Barge listens every morning? Because he would tweet us. Really? Yeah. Stop lying. I swear. I ain't never heard you say that in your life. Elder Barge has tweeted us before and said he listens in the morning.

Bobby Brown has tweeted us before and said he listens in the morning. I know Bobby has. I don't be on Twitter, so I don't know. And why the hell you bring up Bobby Brown without the barge? These are some legends. Naming OGs? Yes.

What's wrong with pepper spray, though? Do you have salt spray? Paprika spray? Like pepper spray and a baton? You actually should take those weapons and give them something a little stronger. I don't know.

Now, Gunna, he finally posted something since he's been released in December. Now, he posted a picture of himself. It looks like in his crib, his family room, or wherever he has a studio set up. He said, Iggy's acting like switching to a side, but it's only one side. Hashtag YSL the label. Hashtag free thug.

And yeah, Gunna back. All right. So he posted, seems like he's doing some music now that the comments are ashamed i saw some of the comments they were killing gunner man yeah the comments are ashamed but see that's the thing i don't understand about the gunner situation i i really don't know if he was telling or not nor nor nor do i care because you know i'm not uh a street you know what i mean but i has has anybody said that he was telling well let's say him with him saying you know the whole thing is they're trying to prove that ysl is a label and

not a gang and he confirmed that it's also a gang so that's what people are saying that he is telling about did anybody confirm that though did like say hey i'm i've heard people after gunner that are in ysl that you can clearly see or tell. Absolutely. I didn't sound like Gunna was doing that. I don't know. I could be wrong. I don't know nothing about the law in that way.

Shoot the glasses from alone too. He got a song called Yes Ma'am. I don't know if he put it out yet, but I can't lie. It's kind of hard. Really? It's pretty hard. Shout the glasses from alone.

Now Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, and Michael Rubin are donating $7 million to Philadelphia area educational causes. So that is pretty dope. They're giving some money back. I love to hear that. And Meek Mill posted yesterday, you know, you put all my negative-ish in the blogs. Why not some of the positive stuff?

I agree. So salute to Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, and Michael Rubin for doing that from Philly. Dropping the clues bombs for Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, and Michael Rubin. Okay. That's why I said it's hard to tell if Meek is that who all over there, friend. You know what I'm saying? Because Meek does a lot of good. He does.

You know, and what I mean by when I say the who all over there, friend, it's that person. You'd be like, well, who all over there? And they'd be like, oh, that's Meek. And then be like, oh, I ain't coming. But it's very hard to put him in that category because he does such good stuff. That's true. You can tell Meek got a good heart.

Yeah, absolutely. He's a good person. I mean, he gets caught up in a lot of BS, but he's a good stuff. That's true. You can tell me he got a good heart. Yeah, absolutely. He's a good person. I mean, he gets caught up in a lot of BS, but he's a good person. Now, the Coachella 2023 lineup has been released. And you know who one of the biggest artists are performing?

According to the press secretary of the United States of America, the president has been briefed by the secretary of transportation this morning on the FAA system outrage, outage. There is no evidence of a cyber attack at this point, but the president directed, who the hell is, oh, Department of Transportation to conduct a full investigation into the causes. The FAA will provide regular updates. I started to say, who the hell is Dot? I had to think about it. I'm like, who the hell is Dot?

for Wednesday, January 11th calls it the Donisha Holiday of the great city of Memphis. Drop on the clues bombs for Memphis. Yes. Okay, and everybody who listens to us on K97 in Memphis. Now, I've told y'all this before, but I will repeat this for the people. Okay, something happened after COVID. I don't know what it is, what it was, but the world changed.

Okay, my grandmother used to say, God bless the day. My grandmother used to say uh god bless the day my grandmother used to say i have never seen a time like this before and that was the 90s okay that was in the 1900s all right now in 2022 i feel the same way i have never seen violence uh murder of family on family friend on friend killing of old people and children you know i've never seen this many just evil situations in all of my life okay i don't know what it is that has caused this you know this switch in behavior and i'm saying that things were great before covid but man something went off the rails and i don't know if folks are

discussing it but i know my common sense is telling me something not right all right seems like it's more senseless killings uh more self-medication aka drug use depression that an all-time high anxiety at an all-time high anxiety at an all-time high folks have no self-worth no direction and i wish these politicians would stop sending billions of dollars to ukraine and spend that money in our communities on mental health initiatives and health initiatives period because if not we ain't gonna make it all right folks is fed up and today's story is no exception she danisha holiday works at family dollar drop on the clues bomb for family dollar oh i remember when i was a delusional young lad who actually thought things in family

dollar actually just cost a dollar okay i know in 2023 that's not the case with inflation they should update the name of the store to family dollars okay but danisha is a family dollar employee who was recently disciplined for excessive sick days. Now, listen, you know, all employees, you know, I hear that. If I heard that from an employee right now, it wouldn't bother me. You know, it wouldn't bother me because we know it's all types of stuff going around. RSV, flu, COVID. OK, COVID got so many remixes, you would think R. Kelly was home.

All right. Like folks is sick and don't even know why they sick. I know people close to me who over the holidays was sick and, you know, tested for COVID and tested for flu and it came back negative. But the doctor told them they was getting over something and they don't even know what the something was. So for her to use excessive sick days, I don't see the problem. Okay, not to mention, we don't know what this young woman is dealing with. She may be dealing with something way worse than any of those things i just mentioned okay and clearly she is because i have to tell you this story right the manager of family dollar said that donicia sent her a text message saying she wasn't coming to work because she was sick fair the manager said after she told

holiday she was being removed from the schedule for calling in sick too much. How do you tell somebody they're calling in sick too much? You don't know if that person's sick or not. But after the manager told Donisha that, what do you think Donisha did, Envy? Just guess. Memphis, her name is Donisha. What do you think? She called out sick again?

Nope. But? She came into work. And when she came into work, she showed up at the business with a pistol. What? A gun. All right.

That poor boy that makes sure all your kids won't grow. I don't know if it was a 4-4. I just felt like quoting Tupac. By the way, that's one of the most toxic lines ever. My 4-4 makes sure all your kids won't grow. But the store manager said Dinesha pulled the gun out of her right pocket, pointed it at her, and waved it around. Police said there were three other employees and customers at the register.

When it happened, The victim said Holiday put the gun back in her pocket and threw a stapler at her before another employee escorted her out the store. That employee had to be Donisha's friend. Because ain't no way, okay? I see someone mad with a gun. I'm running. Exactly. I'm like, escort them out the store?

Come on, man. Ain't nobody doing that if they're not your friend. Because there ain't no regular Family Dollar employee doing that. especially no ain't no ain't nobody doing that if they're not your friend because ain't no regular family dollar employee doing that family dollar ain't dying for you in fact if you work at family dollar and you get killed in family dollar i have a feeling the corporation the family dollar gonna start a go fund me for your funeral now the manager of family dollar said that danisha threatened to shoot up her vehicle before leaving police said uh danisha was taken into custody on thursday and admitted to being armed with a gun when she came to the family dollar but she told investigators that she had the gun because she wanted to be prepared and took it out of her pocket to adjust it in her holster

look man it's a tough time in memphis right now okay gangsta boo just passed folks on edge all right but my people my people my people if you work in family dollar you know you can't afford to have an aggravated assault and three counts of reckless endangerment charge. Her bond has been set at ten thousand dollars. I know she don't have that money, but the reality is none of us do. OK, none of us can afford to have those kind of charges. None of us need to have those problems. And I don't understand why we don't think about those things before we make those kinds of decisions. Okay, life is about choices. But there's something that has happened to us over the last couple of years that is causing people to snap

and make the poorest of choices. And if we don't start providing these people with the resources they need to survive and thrive out here, God help us all. Please give Donisha Holiday the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. Oh help us all. Please give Dinesha Holiday the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. All right. And I refuse to play a game of guess what race it is today.

I will not. Okay. Black. Shut up. Nobody asked you. Oh, I thought you said play a game. Okay. I didn't get a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Why is it so hot in this new studio? So, all right. What is it to me? Look at this. 800-585-1051. When we come back, I want to take some of your calls. So, of course, my wife is,

she went on a girl's trip. She's gone for 20 days. So I've been packing the kids lunch. And when I've been packing the lunch, I've been seeing your comments saying, why you put so many snacks in the bag? Why donuts? Why pop-ums? Why salami and cheese sandwich? You're a daddy that don't know how to cook.

Right. That's why. People have been saying, well, why not fruit? These kids just need to survive. Why not fruit? Why not vegetables? So I want to talk about this. Now, fat.

I don't want to say fat. I can't use fat in my word. Why can't you say fat? not a nice word who says fat is not a nice word children struggling with being fat that doesn't sound right what are you talking what else can i say besides fat obese obese we say obese sound way worse than fat i'd rather somebody call me fat than obese so children are are dealing with being fat right and that means they just said you wasn't going to say it no more. You just said fat was not as bad as obese. Obese sounds crazy. What, orca? Overweight.

Overweight sounds crazy too. We're just going to say fat. Overweight. Now children are... There's 14.4 million children in the U.S. that are fat. And they're saying we have to get a hold of it now. They're saying kids as age of 12 can start

taking pills and at 13 they can start having surgery. So they're saying we gotta fix this now because they're saying we have to start young. They said the days of just, you know, watchful waiting or delaying treatment to see whether children outgrow it has to stop now because it's making the problems worse.

They're saying with these fat kids, I don't have a fat just sounds great shut up is when you put the kids with it I just say fat it's when you call them fat kids that's when it sounds crazy man oh these fat but we got to get a hold of it like they hard to catch these fat young young adults are having lifelong health problems high blood pressure diabetes depression and insecurity well it's a lot of reasons for that what i mean a lot of these kids grow up in food deserts you know i mean a lot of these kids grow up in food deserts and they don't have you know the healthiest of options you know when it comes to you know what they can consume so that's what they are eating they're eating the fast food they

eating the snacks you know they're just literally trying to survive so what are your thoughts all right they're saying kids 12 now can start taking pills. And at the age of 13, they can have surgery to remove the overweight. Surgery? Yeah, not BBLs. What's the liposuction, I guess? Or the band or something. If they can't afford to eat proper, what the hell make people think they can afford surgery?

Let's talk about it. That don't even make no sense. Once again, I just told y'all, if we don't start providing people with the resources they need to survive and thrive out here, God help us all. Talking about getting kids liposuction, but they can't even afford to eat healthy. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, I was telling a story. You know, my wife went away for 20 days.

Went on a girl trip with her friends and her besties. And I've been packing the kids lunch. And I've been documenting everything I've been doing because one, it's fun, and two, it's just fun. So every day I've got to pack the kids lunch and snacks, and I've been packing donuts and pop-ums and fruit snacks and ham and cheese or salami and cheese sandwiches. That's just because you're a lazy-ass dad who don't know how to cook.

That's all it is. If you knew how to cook, you'd be feeding your kids uh you know uh better better meals than that and you on the run you on the run just as much as your kids but people were like yo envy where's the where's the fruit where the carrots where the vegetables so i agree with them this morning i you know i went there and i i got some strawberries i got some grapes i got some of their favorite fruit and i put it in their bags as well but uh on the way in i was reading this thing about fat kids. I guess I can't use fat. Who says you can't use fat? Alright, well, children struggling

with being fat and obesity should be evaluated and treated. Obesity is worse than fat. Obesity sounds crazy. I'd rather be fat than obese. They're saying the practice... And overweight sounds dangerous. As soon as they tell you to play in overweight, you don't want to get on it, right? You're right. Okay. You're right. They're saying the practice of watchful waiting, that's where you just wait and say,

hey, my kid is going to outgrow it. That doesn't usually happen. They said if your kid is as fat as a kid, they're going to be fat as a T. So they're saying 14.4 million young people in the U.S. are pretty big, and they say it leads to long health problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Well, we're not talking about poverty. You know, let me see the demographics of those kids. Let me see the locations where those kids live at.

And I bet you, I bet you that they live in food deserts. And, you know, there's plenty of studies that show, you know, people who live in food deserts are at an elevated risk for obesity. You know what I mean? If you got inadequate access to food, then you more than likely going to eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You're going to eat snacks. You're going to eat, high calorie stuff. You're going to eat snacks. You're going to eat all the fast foods.

You're going to eat from the Chinese restaurant in the hood. You're going to do that constantly. You know what I mean? And that will lead to obesity when you're young. I think that the reason a lot of those kids probably do grow out of it, you know, because hopefully as they get older, they get in better financial situations and they pick up more healthier habits some people majority don't end up in better financial situations so they keep those same piss poor

habits with them throughout their whole life you know i mean and they spend their whole life trying to survive off snacks but i do agree i do agree that we have to attack this problem at a younger age because you teach habits right and one of those things if you're teaching kids about eating right and exercising and working out they're going to continue to do that when they get older when they're teens and i think we have to create these habits and not just say you know we'll see what happens or you know a lot of times parents even myself we give our kids foods that are not bad because like you said we're we're running we're doing this we're doing that but we have to make sure we watch what our kids eat as well. You're not wrong, Envy, but you're speaking from a place of having something.

You know what I mean? You can't do any of that you just said with no money. Like, these folks are literally just out here trying to survive. It's not even a thing of them practicing bad habits because they want to. They're eating like this because they have to survive. They live in food deserts where there's inadequate access to good to. They're doing these, they're eating like this because they have to survive. They live in food deserts where there's inadequate access to good food. Right.

But you know, they can't afford to go to Whole Foods and buy the fresh fruits and vegetables and all that kind of crazy stuff. But as a kid, I didn't, you know,

we didn't have Whole Foods and things like that. But my mom made sure I didn't have McDonald's every day. She cooked whether it was, we had some wild stuff as a kid.

Well, Dominicans cook a lot. Well, we did have rice and beans, but we had, you know. Of course you did. You know what? Forget it. What do you mean? Princess. You're a Dominican. Of course youicans cook a lot. Well, we did have rice and beans, but we had, you know... Of course you did. You know what? Forget it. What do you mean? Princess.

I'm a Dominican. Of course you had rice and beans. Hello? Hey, y'all. Y'all had me on Family Matters. Good morning. Yes. Good morning.

I was thinking Family Matters. Oh, you're talking about the TV theme songs we play. Yes. Good morning. Yes, yes. Good morning to you all. So listen, guys.

It's super multifaceted, right? I think the best politically correct word will be overweight just because people take that and run with it any other kind of way. So just say overweight kid. That ain't true though, man, because you can flip overweight to your overweight ass. Tell the man. Tell the man. We're going to let Envy say overweight kid.

That just sounds different. You've got too many simple-minded people that are going to go hard on him. You're right. Let the man just stay overweight. You're right. You're right. So listen, in regards to what you were saying, we are depreciating, right? In regards to communities, we know that it's easier for some communities to have $5 and

get that little piece of pizza and know that we'll have to not worry about tonight and we'll figure it out tomorrow, right? That's right. And then we have the other families. Who are letting their kids in and out the pantry. We buy in. Everything. Ding dong.

Wing wong. Hip to hoi. Everything. Right? And we're really not caring. Because we don't want to hear them talk. Or whatever the reason is. Maybe we didn't have healthy eating habits growing up.

Right. So when it comes to the surgery portion. Now there is lap bands, there is gastric sleeve, and then there's gastric bypass. Now that has to go with your PCP, having history, being obese, having, it's just a lot of different factors

that go into that, that a child at a young age will be able to have that, right? No, Queen, Queen, Queen, can I ask you something real quick though? If you can't even afford healthy food, how are you going to afford surgery? I'm going to get into that. I'm going to get into that.

I'm going to get into that. Charles, we'll pay for that. Medicare, Medicare will pay for that, right? No, Medicaid, pardon me. Medicare is for older. So Medicaid will pay for that, given your doctor is saying this person needs it. This is medically necessary. They will be able to get it 100% paid for.

If you're a worker and you have insurance, your insurance will pay for it. You pay your deductible out of pocket. If you out here and you got money, you can pay for whatever you want. You can get your kids to get whatever they want at whatever age when you got whatever type of funds. Are we clear? Yes, but that's the problem. Most of us don't. We're talking like the majority of people out here

aren't financially struggling. And that surgery to me sounds like a temporary solution to a permanent problem. They say save it with those pills. You have to go give these communities the resources they need to not just survive, but to thrive. You're getting surgery for a kid at six

and then they still can't afford proper food. Now, you're right. Didn't we just talk about earlier when you get these surgeries you got to work out and eat right how can you do that if you in a impoverished neighborhood well we'll take your call some more 800-585-1051 but i i agree with you i think those the medication and those surgeries are temporary fixes because you don't want your child on you know on pills for the rest of their life to just stay a little thinner. Let's talk about it when we come back. And let's get into another Mary J. Blige mix.

It's Mary's birthday. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now.

That kid on me, he was bad. Call me. And drop in to The Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Now, if you're just joining us, we were talking about a new study that came out, and they were saying children struggling with obesity should be evaluated and treated early and aggressively, including medications for kids as young as 12 and surgery for those that are 13 they're saying the old practice of watching uh watch for waiting or delaying treatment to see if the kids outgrow it is stupid and don't do it they're saying 14.4 million young people in the u.s are left untreated and obesity can cause health problems high blood pressure diabetes depression insecurity i hate how that study is not talking about poverty. I hate how that study is not talking about, you know, food deserts. You know, I hate how that study is not talking about individuals who live in food deserts

are at an elevated risk for obesity. I hate that that study isn't talking about how inadequate access to food, you know, is going to lead, you know, to obesity because folks going to eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You know how fast food restaurants got better deals than the healthy places you can feed six people with five dollars at most of these damn fast food places but you know an apple an apple costs six dollars one apple yeah now you're right i want to i want to shout out to uh i believe it's called fitition uh it's a restaurant that's uh in the new york area they're branching and i went there the other day and i bought a fruit bowl a big size fruitsized fruit bowl, and it was $5.

And I was surprised. I'm like, it's only $5? And it had granola, it had all the fruit in it. So let me, it's Fit Tition, Fit Tition. Shout out to them. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Shaniqua Burnett from One Around Miss Georgia.

How you guys doing this morning? You said Shaniqua? Kenitra. Kenitra. How are you, Kenitra? I'm doing well. How are you guys? and highly favored what's your what's your opinion what's your thoughts mama so my thoughts is especially from a medical perspective i'm a medical professional i work in cardiology um i definitely think we should allow these kids to have access to weight loss medication um one thing

you mentioned was something about liposuction. That's not what they said. They said the kids can have weight loss surgery, such as bypass, gastric bypass, or sleeve, something like that to help them lose the weight. But we do know that we see down the line that these kids end up with heart disease and other problems. And you'll be surprised, or maybe you won't be surprised, but I used to do football physicals. You'll be surprised when any of those guys come in, young kids, only 13 years old, with high blood pressure already, you know, and want to play football. And so then we talk about things happening like, you know, collapsing on the field.

Right. And stuff like that. So definitely I think we should, you know, give these kids a shot at, you know, having a healthier way and living a healthier life. And I agree with you, Charlamagne, on the, you know, making access to healthier food. And, you know, right now the food prices are incredible. You know, grocery store prices are crazy. And that is definitely a problem.

But also it is that our kids just don't exercise. Right. And, you know know do the things that they used to do we used to play outside right you know now kids are in front of the tv all day or playing video games all day you're right that is true i think i think i think it's a combination of the lack of physical activity but more importantly man the poverty the food deserts these folks live in man like when you live in these food deserts you don't have access to good high quality food you're gonna going to eat cheap, high calorie stuff.

But even as parents, even if if that is the case, we have to get our kids out more. And I know a lot of times it's easy to, you know, to have our, you know, iPhones and iPads and video games and TV babysit our kids. But we have to get back out there with those kids, make them go play basketball, make them go jump rope and make them dance, make them go to cheer. There's so many free events and free activities that these kids could do that'll keep them exercising. This week, like I said, my wife is away and my kids have so many damn activities and I would be mad at my wife, like, goodness gracious, but now I get it. I understand it. They're out and about, they're exercising, they're running around and they're doing a

lot. Well, I'll tell you this, and I agree with you and I'm not'm not making excuses but man do you feel safe just letting your kids go out you feel safe just letting your kids go run around i think about growing up in south carolina man we used to be out all day no cell phones on the bikes from dirt road to dirt road running through cornfields running through the woods parents knew where we were at i guess they knew we were around but nowadays i would never feel comfortable yeah you're right just letting my kids just go roam for a few hours by themselves hell no yeah I guess you're right hello who's this this is Leo Leo good morning what's your

thoughts bro um I basically think that it all starts with the parents we need to encourage more healthier eating habits you know so that our kids follow through um my parent my family has a history of we're very overweight and um i've done a lot of things to get a healthy weight and i'm trying to encourage my daughter now she's about four to start eating you know pretty good and like that man all y'all must be doing great in life because even if it starts with the parents which which is true, the parents poor too. Like poverty is just as generational as poor eating habits because if the parents couldn't afford to eat well, you think they can afford to feed their kids well? Come on, man.

I don't know, man. I just feel like poverty is the root of the issue, man, because a lot of these people that we're talking about, they live in food deserts. And everybody knows that if you live in a food desert, you're at an elevated risk for obesity. Because you don't have, you know, adequate access to good food. So you're eating all the cheap, high-calorie nonsense. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to talk about Mariah Carey.

She is through and done with Nick Cannon's shenanigans. We'll get to it next. It's The club good morning the breakfast club woke up this morning to urgent messages from airline sources because this is a major computer failure at the faa and it is impacting flights across the country right now now this is a computer system that provides critical flight safety information to pilots. It's called the Notice to Air Mission Systems and it sends key safety warnings including bird strikes and without it flights from coast to coast they are delayed right now. Now here's what we know from the FAA. This is a statement that just came in. The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Mission Systems. We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system right now. Now, operations across the national airspace system, they are affected.

That's what the FAA says. No word on when this will get fixed. But if it isn't fixed soon, we could be looking at a nationwide ground stop. Robin, that's how critical this system is. Well, who is it? What is it? We the people need to know something. What's the problem?

Is this a cyber attack? Huh? I don't know. The what's the problem is this a cyber attack huh i don't know chinese the russians what's happening here i don't know but they're saying that they are allowing some flights to leave out of newark new jersey and also atlanta georgia uh airport so uh if we get more updates before we get up out of here we'll definitely let you know now mariah carey they say allegedly plans to file for primary uh custody of the twins that she has with Nick Cannon. They believe this is all allegedly she's reached with. And she feels that Nick is not doing enough. He's adult and dad, but not spending enough time with the kids.

And she's done and she's tired. She's tired of him allegedly coming in and out of their lives. And he wants she wants him to carve more time out for their twins. I don't know why but that story don't sound true to me it don't sound true to me either what sites your sources uh some of it came from radar online some of it came from shade room yeah i don't believe any of that story now because you know you could have made that decision after child number five or six which i don't believe that story now also if you want to be in a band uh little yadi is holding

trials for an all-woman band. That's this Thursday, January 12th from 1 to 7. He's looking for singers, background singers, guitar players, bass players, drummers, keyboard players, and more. So if you want to be part of that, you can just follow him up. Or it's going to be in Georgia from 1 to 7. Like I said, follow him on Instagram. If you're a woman out there, play drums or play background singers or bass players or drummers or whatever it may be, you can be

part of this band. Now, Fred O'Bang, yesterday we said he congratulated him. He welcomed a newborn child, but we found out yesterday, later on in the evening, that he had a child with a lesbian couple. How'd that happen? I thought lesbians don't like penis.

I don't know i mean you can't so i don't think you labeling them right no it can't just be lesbians you said they're lesbian couple maybe the lesbian couple wanted a child and fredo bang was the penis to get them or did they actually have sex well he conceived they well they conceived through ivf so he gave the sperm it wasn't like he was knocking off the lesbian you didn't say that the way you presented that story you made us think

Fred O'Bang was banging the two lesbians that's your fault see that's why I don't like the media you don't like the media that's exactly why right there

you knew exactly what you were doing when you were telling that story you could have just led with that which is by the way a more interesting thing

it's more interesting to hear you know two lesbians wanted a child and so they went to somebody and had the ibf thing happen you know but no you want to make it seem like they all out here freaking i didn't say that i just said we welcomed a newborn child you guys made your own turn and then i told you what you did and lastly y'all better leave ja rule alone what y'all did you leave ja rule alone now i guess he was uh performing uh last month

get a chuckle out of that my goodness why you only play the audio they don't we don't have the audio man what is the point of expanding the staff what was the point Jesus Christ alright well they have a whole bigger staff. You could have played the audio with him saying that.

Why we don't have... Man. Brand new studio. New staff. We got staff now. We can't blame it on staff. We got staff. They gave me the report, so you'd figure that if they gave it to me, it would be there.

All right. At least the building looks nice. The new studio looks nice. The studio looks pretty good. Looks good. All right. I guess. All right. Well least the building looks nice. The new studio looks nice. The new studio looks pretty good. Looks good. All right. I guess. All right.

It's time to get up out of here. Again, if you got flights today, give yourself some extra time. Make sure you call your airline. Check the airports because flights were, a lot of flights were delayed and canceled because of a situation they had early this morning. Yeah, because the FAA system shut down. And that hasn't happened since 9-11, if I'm not mistaken. So when I hear that, I think cyber attacks. So I think, who is it?

Who is the guilty party? Is it the Chinese? Is it the Russians? Who is doing this to America right now? I don't know. Is it Thanos and the Black Order? Who is it? Is it Namor them from underwater?

What's happening? I don't know. I don't know either. But something ain't right. Leave us on a positive note because we need some positivity. Well, the positive note is this, man. Salute to the healing God is one of my favorite Instagram pages, man. They posted something that I reposted yesterday.
