Yesterday, you know, it was a beautiful day here in the tri-state area, in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. Hopefully it was beautiful by you. So, you know, when I got home, you know, the basketball was out. So, you know, I started shooting some hoops, and Logan came down and said, let's play a one-on-one. Big Logan, the man of the house. I said, bet, let's play a one-on-one.

Ayanla Vanzant will be joining us this morning. Queen Ayanla

Vanzant will be joining us. She has a new podcast dropping today, actually. It's called The R Spot. Called The R Spot. Yes. We're going to talk to her. And then we got front page news with Teslin Figueroa. She'll be joining us a little bit. She'll help us out. Japan. I don't know if you watch World Baseball, but Japan played the U.S. I'll tell you how the U.S.

did when we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front-page news. All right, we have Tez Figueroa joining us this morning. Thank you again, Tez. But let's start off with baseball. Now, I don't know if you guys watch World Baseball. Last night was the championship game.

Japan versus the U.S., and the U.S. lost 3-2. I don't know if that's big. If it's not, I don't watch it. Red, who's a huge baseball fan. Red, what does that mean? It just means Japan's the best team in the world right now. Are they? Were there some players, some U.S. players that didn't play?

Was there some? No, everybody played, but they got the best player in the world, Shohei Ohtani. I don't watch regular baseball. I'm definitely not watching the world baseball. Okay? I used to like baseball back in the 1900s when everybody was on steroids. That's when the sport was amazing. Great.

Taz, what else we got? What's up with Donald Trump? What's going on with Donald Trump? Taz, let's figure out a hood whisperer. Yes, in the building. Well, first of all, let me say shout out to the cheer moms. You guys said shout out to the cheer dads. I am a cheer mom.

So I feel, you know, make sure the cheer moms get a little bit of love this morning. There you go. But first things first, obviously, Trump was not arrested yesterday. Charlamagne, you predicted it, didn't you? You said he would not be arrested on Tuesday. Didn't you say it? Yeah, I don't see him getting arrested for the charges in New York at all. I mean, you know, when you're talking about taking down a former sitting president

you're not gonna be able to do it with those weak charges they got in new york you need something bigger so he was not arrested on yesterday so we're gonna see what happens in that and see what happens with that but in other news a former top federal judge wrote friday in a sealed filing that prosecutors in the special counsel's office have presented compelling evidence that former president Donald Trump knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office. Now, U.S. Judge Howe said that the investigation shows that Donald Trump has committed criminal violations and as a result, he may lose his attorney-client privilege. In other words, yep, that's a big one.

In other words, the judge told Trump attorneys to comply with the subpoena and get ready to start telling. Now, in case anyone is counting, there are now multiple investigations going on at the same damn time, back-to-back in the words of Drake. Let's run through them number one special counsel for the classified documents case number two the manhattan da for the hush money coming in strong at number three we have fulton county for the attempt to overturn the 2020 election and number four special counsel for january 6th and number five new york attorney general for the trump organization fraud investigation a lot of folks forgot about that so there are now five

investigations and probably counting we don't know what else they'll be throwing at him but we talked a little bit on monday guys about how trump would use this to benefit um his pockets and campaign. And so far, he has asked his 74 million supporters to sign a petition to oppose his arrest. And he also asked them to break a little bit of bread. Now, he didn't say, give me $3 like Bernie Sanders. He said he want $3,300 per person running his money. So we're going to see how that works out. Let me ask a question. So, you know, with the classified documents, how are they pressing charges on him with that?

When it seems like everybody got classified documents. They're going to throw that out. Biden got classified documents. Vice President. Charlamagne got. Ted, you got classified. Like classified documents everywhere. Yeah.

And, you know, we talked about this earlier. I don't know if it was Monday. The days are running together with this. But remember, we talked about just kind of throwing're throwing it all you know let's just see this is my me paraphrasing let's just see what sticks yeah that's just pretty much what it is i mean it is just amazing and and again just as a reminder even with all of these charges he can still run for president united states uh that's a quick google search that you guys can confirm that he can still run even if he is arrested and convicted

he can run. So I just want to see how he's going to continue his campaign while fighting multiple, multiple charges in different states. You know, Ted, I think what you're saying is absolutely true and I think that's what this all translates to. Sit your ass down. They don't want you to run.

If you drop out, all of this goes away. If Trump stops campaigning tomorrow and says, I'm not running for president in 2024, all of this goes away. That's not Trump. Guaranteed.

I know it's not. He don't care. Because he's a narcissist and his ego is going to get the best of him. Absolutely. But if he sits his ass down, all of this goes away. That's not him.

Guaranteed. I know I'm tripping out that $3,300 per person. It's expensive to be a Trump supporter. You ain't lying. God damn. All right. He worse than a pastor. Right.

You thought the pastor want your last when you pull. Right. Boy, Trump really want your last when you pull. Right. Dang. All right. Well, that is front page news. Now, get it off your chest.

800-585-1051 if you need to vent. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. And Tez, we'll see you next hour. Yep. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God.

But second of all, you guys have mentioned have mentioned you know if trump had stopped running that most likely all this would go away right well of course you know like his ego and everything is gonna get the best of them right and that's just not gonna happen well that's just like you know you guys saying that too and i feel the same way that that just confirms that all of this is just like a cute ass witch hunt and it's just all bulls**t like they're just trying to find anything that they can to go after him and it's just i don't disagree like i think he's one of the yeah i think he oh yeah i think he honestly is one of the best that we've had in a long time i don't know about that even when he would i think when he was president there was a lot of

things he did for our country that was very, like, undershadowed that wasn't, like, publicized, you know, because they were too busy trying to, like, go after him for everything else. You know what I mean? Like, well, just trying to find things to go after him by. I don't want to live in a country, you know, that's run by fascists. So I have to push back on that. But I do agree that all of this is just a big ass witch hunt

it really is because if he was if they had enough to get him and this really was about prosecuting somebody because they broke the law he'd have been prosecuted already but they don't know how to prosecute that level of privilege he is a white man

a rich white man who is a former president they not trying to set that precedent where people like that get held accountable for their crimes. No. 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'm sure he used that voice in the studio. Somebody said, you sure you want to use her voice? Yeah. Well, her name is Carly's De La Cruz. She claims she created and provided the recording before the singer became famous.

And now she is suing for $40 million. I wonder what happened to the Maybach Music Girls. Do you think Ross ever paid them? I'm sure he paid them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if not, after I hear this, I'm going for mine. And it's used over and over. Does he use this drop over and over like Ross uses Maybach music?

Why would he buy him cleats for basketball? It was football cleats. $500. Some prototypes or something. He wanted something. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news.

Teslin Figueroa will be joining us. She got a lot to break down, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same our audible pick of the day is some people have real problems by brit bennett tessa thompson plays a conflicted woman who imagines living a totally different life start listening when you sign up for a free 30-day trial at the home of storytelling audible.com slash breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. We have Tesla and Figaro. What up? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, family. Well, let's start off with Ivy Otieno. Did I say his name right?

Otiano. Otiano. Yes. Tuesday, surveillance video was released that showed 28-year-old Ivo Otiano being pinned to the floor by multiple security officers for 12 minutes while shackled at the Virginia State Mental Health Facility in the moments leading up to his death earlier this month. Now, they also released the 911 calls about the incident in which a caller described him as very aggressive and repeatedly asked for an ambulance saying that he was not breathing. Now, just a little background for those that may not have been following this story. He was in jail and then he was transferred to a mental facility. While he was there, they claimed that he allegedly became aggressive and then they

shackled him legs and arms. His mother did try to bring him medication. They refused to accept it. And the video that was released yesterday shows the 12-minute ordeal. You can see knees, all of the body weight on his neck. Now, as a result of this, seven sheriff deputies and three hospital employees were indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday

on the charge of second degree murder. Let's listen to what his family had to say. He was murdered. They smothered the breath out of my baby. They murdered my baby. At what point do we stop preserving life? At what point do we consider mental illness a crime? They pulled him off treatment, took him to jail, didn't take him down there with any medicine. What do you want to see happen to these deputies, either of you? Justice.

I would like them put away, if you ask me, for life, that they don't see the light of day again. What they did to my son was horrific. I didn't know law enforcement was ever called to mental health facilities to get control of patients. I thought that was the whole point of being in a mental health facility. Like mental health, mental illness isn't a crime. Yeah, well, rest in peace again to Ivo Otiano. He was in jail and then they transferred him to the facility.

So the sheriffs were already with him. He was incarcerated at the time. I'm surprised the people at the mental health facility didn't intervene. Well, I mean, because he was incarcerated. They did have three hospital people there as well. So it was the hospital staff, which got charged as well, in addition to the deputies. Because they said he was aggressive, even though he was shackled. He wasn't a threat to anybody.

So the sheriffs were actually there bringing uh you know bringing him to to the mental facility and apparently he had an episode and i just want to say this uh if anyone knows of anyone that is incarcerated and mentally ill there is an organization called the national alliance on mental illness and one of the many things that they focus on is mental health treatment while incarcerated which is very very necessary and most of those people in jail don't need to be in jail they actually need to be in some type of mental health facility getting you know mental health treatment absolutely now let's talk about this colorado dentist what was he arrested for now oh this is a crazy story a colorado dentist is accused of killing his wife by poisoning her protein shakes so that he could start a new life with his mistress.

Lord, how? Right. James Tolliver Craig, 45, was arrested on Sunday morning on charges of first-degree murder. Now, Angela Craig, his wife, died Wednesday after reporting to the hospital for the third time this month. After she arrived, she had a severe seizure. She was placed on the ventilator and was declared medically brain dead soon after. Now, here's the background on how he actually got caught.

Craig allegedly ordered multiple poisons and the investigation showed that he searched online, literally typed this in, how to buy poison, how to buy poison, and also typed in how much it takes uh to kill a human um i mean literally typed it in and he made the investigation very easy uh the day she went to the hospital uh his wife uh she text him and so they have text rex's as well allegedly uh she said i feel drugged and then he responded in the text message given our history i know that that

must be triggering for the record i didn't drug you i am super worried though you really looked pale when i left like in your lips even we might need to transfer this to donkey today now because he had the poison delivered to his home and office his manager opened it uh and after miss craig passed away she reported to the police that he's known for making his wife shakes. And she believed that he poisoned his wife. Goodness gracious. You know what the most criminal thing about this is alongside the murder?

The fact that this man is such a coward. Like, he didn't even give his woman a choice. Like, why are you scared to be honest with your partner? Tell her you want somebody else. Tell her you want to break up. Tell her you want a threesome. But not only that. But what a coward to not be honest and kill her? I wonder if the mistress knew. Like, you're somebody else tell her you want to break up or tell her you want a threesome but that but not only a coward did not be honest and killer i wonder if the the mistress knew

like you're gonna kill her why but when you get tired of it yeah because actually that's a good point envy because she's actually been to the hospital three times for this and deeper when you get deeper into the story um when she went to the hospital before and obviously didn't die that's when he would go spend time with the mistress and go on trips. So, I mean, he probably did say, hey, yeah, my wife is sick or something. We don't know. This is a lot to this story. It's really a lot.

Why can't you just be honest with your partner? Like, why does your mind go to, I got to kill this woman to be with my other woman? He's probably thinking financial. He's probably thinking, I got to give her half. I got to give her half the house, half of this. But now he's going to spend his whole life in jail. Well, I'd rather him give that woman a choice. Absolutely.

I'd rather that man be honest with his partner than kill her. Absolutely. Lord have mercy. And lastly, I just want to tell you guys about, I know a lot of you guys use eye drops out there. A rare strain of bacteria found in recalled eye drops has been linked to dozens of infections, as well as cases of vision loss and in certain cases where they actually have to remove your eyeballs what uh yeah it's uh global pharma health care's artificial tears lubricant eye drops distributed by uh is is recare uh and

uh it was recalled in february so definitely check your thing it's uh i would hate for anybody to lose their vision or even lose their eyeballs so it's a huge recall on eye drops so definitely check your thing it's uh I would hate for anybody to lose their vision or even lose their eyeballs so it's a huge recall on eye drop so definitely do your homework and dive more into I don't use eye drop so I'm not really familiar with this product are you familiar with that product I use I know I use stuff like clear eye this stuff look like some no name brand store brand stuff I use like clear eyes and visine and stuff okay I'm looking at it now artificial tears lubricant, eye drops. I never even heard of this.

Well, if you're out there, just do your homework if you use eye drops. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. No, it's not. It's front page news with Teslin Figaro. The hood whisperer. Thank you, Tes. And I want to tell everybody, make sure you subscribe to Teslin's podcast,

And Tes is going to be at the Black Effect Podcast Festival April 22nd in Atlanta as part of the Women in Podcasting panel and the Business of Podcasting panel.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. So it took me literally two years through the pandemic. That's when I realized how exhausted I was. And then after the pandemic, I was like, where's my life realized how exhausted I was and then after the pandemic I was like where's my life where am I so to get back in my body to get back in my house hadn't spent three weeks consistently in my house in over 10 years uh and then to decide what I want to do do nothing

that's a good thing so I I make my products and I quilt. And now I have a podcast. The R Spot. R Spot. And I'm raising my five-year-old great-grandson. Oy vey. Single by choice. I lost my partner right on the beginning of the pandemic. Sorry to hear that condolences.

So other than that, you you know just focusing on healing the world absolutely that's what i do so was it worth it fix my life oh every moment okay i loved it yeah it was absolutely worth it and if nothing else the legacy of fix my life and really what it did on television just like starting over that I did back in the early 2000s. I think it set a trend and I'm waiting to see who's coming up behind me. Who's going to be the next one? I don't know if there is an authority. You were looked at as an authority in that department.

I don't know if there's anybody that we look to like that. More than the authority, they just need the gift. See, I think Fix My Life worked because I wasn't doing television. I was doing healing. And it didn't matter to me. I had to train myself. It didn't matter to me that the camera was in front of my face. If I'm going to yell at you, I'm going to yell at you.

If I'm going to hug you, I'm going to hug you. If I'm going to kiss you, if I'm going to tell you business. So I think that whoever it is that wants to step into that space to do healing in that way can't be someone who wants to do television. They have to be committed to the work. I also think the way mindfulness has evolved in the conversations we're having about mental health and healing, it's kind of hard for like we all know nobody can fix someone else's life. Absolutely. And I always said that. I always said that.

I'm giving you tools and information. I'm helping you identify the issue because very often people don't even, A, know they have an issue. They think it's somebody else. Or B, know what the issue is. And then if they recognize the issue, they don't know what to do about it. So that's what the beauty, the power of Fix My Life, that people were participatory. Because, oh, I know, that's my mother. That's my, oh, look at, oh. I do that.

They ever call you back to say, hey, we need you for one more? Like, do you ever look on social media, online, and be like, they would need me? All the time, people say, we missed your show. We need you back. Blah, blah, blah, DDD. Like, Blueface and Krishan, I don't know if you know who they are. They would need you. Like they would need you like yesterday.

They need something bigger than me. Yeah, I can't see that. It's weird though. I can't see this generation with this. Really? No. The young people know who I am. No, I agree with that.

But I just think that it still has to be respect. I think even with those other ones you did back in the day, was it was respect i don't know if this generation has that respect for their elders and they have it for me and i don't know why maybe because i wear jeans or have a cleavage i don't know but they really do i meet them in the target and i say to them how do you know who i am my mama made me watch your show. So the young people, they do. You know what, Charlamagne? I think it's your presence. It's how you carry yourself.

Now, I could probably predict that maybe 10,000 to 15,000 people would drop dead on the spot if I ever showed up somewhere in a thong. I think so. If I ever showed up somewhere in the thong I think so not because I'm in the thong but because auntie Iyanla oh my god she's lost her mind she's dying so I think it's your presence and I've always had a present, not that demands, but commands respect. And I always, I hope I have carried myself in such a way. And I did it, you know, now that we're in Women's History Month. I carry myself that way because my grandmother, who was a Native American, who passed for black in the early 1900s,

it was easier for her to be black than it was for her to be a Native American. Wow. Scrub floors and toilets and yonkers and white planes to feed me and my brother. Wow. I am her vision. I am her legacy. I am, you know, having been able to go to college and law school, walk away from welfare, walk away from practicing law

to do my calling in the world. I can't disgrace my grandmother who was spit on, who had to come in the back door. You understand? Who had to make shrimp salad for the French poodles. I have a responsibility. And in terms of the young people, nobody is teaching them that. I have a responsibility to Rissy Harris and Sahara Elizabeth Jefferson, my mother, who scrubbed toilets on the Pennsylvania Railroad, who died of breast cancer when I was two. Because as a black woman, she didn't have medical coverage and they didn't have the money to pay for her mastectomy. So who am I? I can't get on the on the pole. Might be fun, but I can't. You know, I wanted to ask you, too, like when you talk about COVID, I feel like none of us were the same after, you know, going through COVID.

But like who was there for you, you know, after your partner transitioned? Who was there for you? You know after your partner transitioned? Who was there for you? You know, this is going to sound weird. I think God and the Holy Spirit, you know, the state that our relationship was in at that time. He was in Philly. I was in Maryland. But in our hearts, we were still together. And I knew when he refused treatment, I knew that transition was his choice.

And because I loved him, I honored that choice. He wouldn't want me to be here sad and weeping and carrying on. You know, and the fact that he was in Philly, we were bi-statal. The fact that he was in Philly and I was in my home, I didn't have to go through the missing of him physically all the time. But still, I never felt sad for him or sad. I don't think sad is the word. Of course, there's natural grieving and the missing of the. But he refused treatment. That was his choice.

And I had to honor that. I had to respect that. All right. We got more with Ayanla Vonsant. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast good morning morning everybody it's dj envy charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with ayan lavon zant at our spot for people that don't know what are you discussing and talking about and going through relationships relationships because they are messed they're messed right. Have you seen the things going on? What's the biggest thing people want to discuss with relationships?

Why it doesn't look the way they think it should look. They believe in fairy tales. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, this is huge in relationships. Why they aren't getting what they're giving. I do this and I get that and I did this and he did this or she did that because men call me too, Charlamagne. Yeah, because we've made relationships transactional. They're not soulful or soul-filled anymore.

They're transactional. You give me this and I'll do that. You do this, you make me feel this. That's crazy. And also control control making somebody prove they love you over and over and over again let me see how bad I can behave and if you'll stop loving me or um let me say this or do this and if you don't respond the way I want you to that means you don't love me. It's crazy. I don't understand it.

And all the wounded people, right? Like if you're doing that to a person, that means that you. We're all wounded. Yeah. You do know that, right? Absolutely. Do you know? Do you know that we're all crazy as hell?

Absolutely. I remind myself of that every day. Okay. But so it's not the woundedness. It's the misinterpretations of love. The wounds or the experience of being wounded disrupted our expression and experience of love. So, so many of us have love wired to pain. You know, we have love wired to struggle.

We have love wired to so many dysfunctional things that it just manifests in our relationship. So right now I'm focusing on women and relationships. And I say women because we got to get this together. What do you mean? Don't bite your tongue now. You know I will not. My experience and my observation is that most women are men in skirts, meaning that the way their presence, their being, the way we roll in the world, it's very masculine because we've been conditioned and programmed out of our feminine. And when I say I don't mean feminist movement in the world, I want to be a fireman or football player.

I'm talking about how to be a woman in your being. What is the distinction between feminine power and masculine power? And we've been conditioned and trained to be men in skirts. We do everything like men. We compete like men. I said this on the R-Spot a few weeks ago. I said, most women want their boyfriend to act like their girlfriend. You know, chatting, shopping. But when the man comes home, what they meet is another dude.

Why do you think that happened? Why do you think it's such a problem? It's a problem, first of all, because the feminine presence is missing on this planet and that's why we got so many so much hoopla and conflammation going on with the weather with the politics because see the old male guard is dying that masculine patriarchy it's dying off and you see them fighting and clawing to hold on to power with all that's the whole whole Roe v. Wade turnover. Oh, we're going to control you. We're going to control you and your hoo-ha. Okay.

Like women get pregnant by themselves. We need to have some bill where men are involuntarily sterilized. How about that? Can we do that? Just take your old weenie out, put it up here, and let me have a call. My wife wants me to get a vasectomy, so I'm down for it. So that's number one. And so but we have been programmed and conditioned and raised where our feminine power and our presence as females is dishonored, disregarded, disrespected just in the world, not just by men.

And we've also been taught and trained that our softness is inappropriate. It's dangerous. Our emotions are inappropriate and nobody wants to be bothered with that. So where do we go with that? How do we know? If a woman knew that her greatest power was silence that's her greatest power because then she can hear but we run our mouth all the time talking about everything stillness if a woman really understands and knows who she is she can walk in the room and take

control of every man in the room how she walks how she sits how she talks how she be we don't know how to be women we know how to do what women do now what about on the other side when you talk about men losing masculinity yeah because i wonder if women have to show up i guess as you say as men in skirts because the men haven't been men well men were raised by women we're all out of order but i'm not arrogant enough to tell a man how to be a man i can help you heal but then what you do with that that's you're on your own i can tell a woman how to be a man I can help you heal but then what you do with that that's you on your own I can tell a woman how to heal I can tell a woman how to be a woman why because I was taught I was trained you know what my grandmother

and my sister my auntie's taught me 70 years ago you don't even hear that today you don't hear about it I don't know what so my thing is I want to share this medicine this information this knowledge so the way it's formulating in my mind right now and the way my team and I are putting it together we're going to do nine weeks online where the women work in their clans 20s 30s 40s 50s 60s 70. And then we're going to come together for the ceremony, ritual, and initiation. Because there's initiations that women need. Men get circumcised. Women do something else.

And so many of us didn't get it. In some traditions, like the bar mitzvah or the bat mitzvah in the Jewish tradition. And some people do rites of passage for their 13, 16-year-old. But what about all of the women that didn't have any of that? They weren't barred or batted and no rights. So we're all out of order, but we as the women in this time have the power to bring it all together. Didn't your wife get you straight? Absolutely. Did your wife get you straight? Hell yeah. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah? Why? Because she was standing in her presence as a woman. Had your best interest at heart. Correct. It's going to support you back into wholeness, not compete with you and not beat you down. And so

more of us have to do that so that our sons and our brothers and husbands, you know, and I'll confess, I used to be one of those women that beat men down with my mouth and my mind. And I heard myself one day say, men are so stupid. And I said, wait a minute, hold up. Is your son stupid? Is your father stupid? Is your brother stupid? And I had to check myself. And that's when I really went on this quest to look at myself as a woman.

My power. My majesty. He said to a woman, show me your majesty. What's that? Show me your divinity. And who's going to do it? That would be me. You made me think about something.

Because, you know, I thought about this. I saw a documentary that said, I think it was called, What is a Woman? And it talked about identity and you know uh biological born males who i identify as as women what do you what do you feel about that i don't think i feel anything because everybody has their lesson and everybody has a right to choose and i can't judge because i don't know i've never had that experience i was born with a hoo-ha. I love my hoo-ha. We're friends.

The hoo-ha, yes. So I don't know in this body what it would feel like to me if I wanted to be a man. I don't know. So I can't speak to that. I always wonder what does that do for people's ultimate perception of women? Like I hear women saying, well, I'm a biological woman. Like it's just I don't speak that way because I'm old. You know what you know.

I'm sorry. I know. Here's the piece that I don't understand. I don't understand it. So I don't have no heat or no judgment. But I've never run around talking about me being a heterosexual never I just you know

I'm strictly been that way all my life I guess it was just natural you know I don't move we got more with Ayaan LaVon Zant when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Ayaan LaVon Zant.

Now, for couples that fight a lot, you know, a lot of times couples get into a lot of different things. What are some things that you would advise them to do so they can get out of that phase? Tell the truth. That might mean do a fight. That's where it started. There's some hidden hurts, unspoken hurts that lead to that. Fighting is not bad. I'd rather have a couple

fight than for them to be indifferent. If they're indifferent and whatever you do, fine, shut up, you know, I don't care. That's when you're in trouble. But if you can fight, fair. You're good. So there's a truth that you have to tell. And there's a power struggle. There's a struggle for power and control. And if you're

really fighting bad, you need outside intervention. Because you cannot clear an upset with the object of your upset. Understand? So I'm mad at you. You're the object of my upset. And now you and me trying to clear the upset. We're just going to whip ourselves around in circles.

You need a neutral third party to come in and help you a different perspective. Gotcha. neutral third party to come in and help you a different perspective the other thing is to figure out here the four questions that I think every relationship needs to ask is this an important relationship in my life because sometimes boo-boo and kafada are fighting and they don't even they you know they don't even care I mean just because you're here right now you're the one for right now is this an important relationship in my life? And the second question you have to ask yourself is, do I value this person and do they value me? You can tell that from behavior.

The third question is, am I willing to take 100% responsibility for the state of this relationship? Meaning I can't change you, I can't fix you, but the state that it's in, the arguing, the lack of support, the adversarial, whatever it is. Am I willing to take 100% responsibility, which means am I willing to look at what I do? Not what you do, what am I doing? And what's motivating me? And the final question is,

am I willing to do the work to heal it no matter what the other person does? And that's the big one. You said you're single by choice. Has that been difficult for you throughout the years just because you are who you are and people feel like they might have to have it all together before they step to you or be close to heal to step to you? Well, no, not healed. I ain't healed, Charlamagne. How am I supposed to?

None of us us ever really i just wear it well the thing is i'm crazy and i know it most people are crazy and they deny it and that's what gets them in trouble know you're crazy give it a name train it okay don't just let it run amok but i think most brothers are afraid to approach me for whatever reason. White men are not at all. They roll up ice. I feel like young men would be trying to holler at you. Oh, in the gas station, the man told me he loved me.

He said, I said, are you flirting with me? He said, yes, I like older women. I said, do you know they can give you worms? Oh, he was all over me. What did he say? I'm willing to take the risk. I said, how old are you? He said, I'm 37.

I said, baby, I got underwear older than you. What did he say? Let me see. He don't know. I might have. Listen, just cheap thrills in the gas station. It was so wonderful. I was happy with myself that I recognized that he was hitting on me.

But I did ask just to check. I said, are you hitting on me? He said, yes, ma'am. I said, see, that's the problem. If you got to hit on somebody, you call ma'am. That's a problem, boo. Take yourself on home. What do you think about people who are into the polygamy nowadays, those relationships?

Well, see, I'm old, so I could do polygamy. I would just want her to be younger so he don't have to be bothering me all the time. Go over there. She's 42. I'm 70. Go on. Take your butt on over there. I know it. You can do that?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. You know what? You joking? Are you serious? What do you think the benefits could be? No, I'm very serious.

Really? Yeah, I could do that. When I was younger, I couldn't because I didn't know who I was. And I didn't understand the value and the purpose of a relationship. So when I was younger, I didn't do cheating. But I could do polygamy. I could be one of other wives in this day and age. I couldn't have done that when I was 30 or 40.

I didn't. I ended up marrying a man who was a polygamist. My second husband was, came out of a polygamist relationship. And at that time, I thought, you know, you're cheating. I still don't do cheating if we're gonna do that it has to be an open conversation and agreement but you sneaking around the corner with Krista Mata uh-uh no no I don't do cheating because you know why it's dishonest I agree and if you're gonna lie to me then I can't trust you but if we sit down and

this is what we want to do I like it because you'll be over there sometime. I'll be over here. I don't have to cook. I save my toilet paper. You don't have to my toothpaste. You know, go on, go on, have you. And I don't think we can tell people who they can and cannot love. If I love you and you're saying this is what you need to support, satisfy yourself,

why would I say no to that? Because I know who I am as a woman. And I don't know if it's possible for one person to satisfy every need another person has. And if the other person is willing to say, well, this is what you give me, I'm willing to accept, that's fine. But if we're together and I'm not living up to everything you need and that's what you need to take care of yourself I know most western women are hearing me

now and they are like she done lost a rabbit oh yeah they ain't ready for this conversation you give it no but it's true I'm about to scrap to the hot spot yeah that's true it's changed people don't even date anymore. I come from the day when you didn't take the guy home the first night and give him a key. I didn't. I don't come from that time. You might take him around the corner and give him a little bit and act like you didn't, but you didn't take him home and give him a key. You just didn't do that. You were sneaking. I'll tell you a funny story. When my daughter was about 16 years old, I came home one day. I come from the age and the era where you don't bring no boy in the house if your mama ain't home.

Did you come from that? Yes, absolutely. Okay. And so I came home and she was in the living room. They were sitting on the sofa watching TV. It looked very innocent. But then I know about sneaking around the corner and acting like you didn't. And I come from the time when a young man comes to a young lady's house for the first time, he A, has to bring a gift for the parents and he wants to

meet the father. That's where I came from. So I came in there sitting on the sofa and I looked at him and I said, where's my my gift would you come here to get something from my daughter and you don't bring me a gift who are your people where you come from so my son said wait a minute mom just wait but where's that at yeah yeah we're the fathers looking at who the girl is going out with and we're the young men that you just come and mama's not home and you roll around in the hay and you don't even bring mommy a cookie, a flower or nothing. But those are the traditions that's not being taught no more. I know.

But we're going to teach them in the rites of passage. We got a certain kinds of things because I think sometimes we get our hearts broken as women because we give away our dignity too soon and our value too soon.

And we're going to be pushing and shouting and celebrating young Dolph's life. That's incredible. So I need the whole Memphis to come on out. And we're going to have a lot of fun that day. Again, that's Sunday, May 28th. We'll give you more details. We're going to be announcing some of his celebrity friends that are going to have their cars in there. And it's going to be a day of celebration. And it's at the

Agri Center in Memphis, Tennessee. That's incredible. And it's incredible that you started that off by throwing a middle finger to Dallas. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. You just threw a middle finger to Dallas for no reason whatsoever. Just shouted out Big G and Hollywood Baby for no reason. Just to say, F y'all, I'm doing it over

here. Wow. There was no reason to do that. We're going to do it in Dallas as well, but I was going to do it in Dallas Memorial Weekend. F you, Dallas. F you, Dallas. You hate the Cowboys that much. I do. Dallas, ban them. How about that? Salute to Memphis. When Dallas Family called, it was just a dope idea

that released his video this weekend for Love for the Streets and showed all his cars. I just thought it would be pretty dope for the culture to do that car show in Memphis celebrating Dolph's life. I agree. But you didn't have to dufficate on Dallas in the process. Dallas had nothing to do with this conversation. They didn't even have to be in this room. They didn't have to be in this mention at all.

Not even a little bit. Well, let's get to the rumors. For sure. Shizzle my nizzle. Rue my hazard. Rue my hazard. 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. Now, a Mississippi news anchor got fired because of this. New dog tattoo on his shoulder. For shizzle my nizzle.

I'm telling you. Julie, what you think about that? Oh. Oh. Oh. Got fired for what? For shizzle, my nizzle. She can't say for shizzle, my nizzle? Oh, I guess because...

You said it. I'm not using that word. You already did. But I was using it in context. That's why. I don't know if that's fireable. I don't think she should have been fired. Because she is for shizzle my

nizzle you might not even know what nizzle means yo i'm like come on we gotta like stop man that's not a reason to fire that woman yo no she's been fired did she did she release a statement no not as yet that's the thing with hip-hop. Hip-hop is so big and so mainstream. And it's just like, who can consume it and who can't? You know what I mean? She's been there for 20 plus years. Who can repeat slang and who can't? How old is that woman, yo?

She's been there for 20 years. She might be old. She probably has no idea. She's probably a Snoop fan. Nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. Which is crazy. She might not have any idea. She just thinks she's sounding cool repeating Snoop Dogg.

But she is a my Nizzle. But she is a my Nizzle. That's not a fireball offense. I hope she sues. Well, she is fired. Now, Tasha K, the blogger, you know Cardi B was suing her for damn near everything. A judge ordered her to pay Cardi B $4 million $2.5 million in damages and a $1.3 in legal fees

well I know at one time she said she wasn't going to pay I believe I'll say allegedly and that she wasn't going to apologize well she says we lost the appeal against Cardi B sad day but I'm going to be alright I appreciate all your love and support throughout this fight today we throw in the white flag

what happened will never happen again to Cardi and her team. I apologize. Sincere. We live and learn. See y'all Wednesday on her YouTube. Like I said about 6ix9ine, don't laugh. Learn. Because a lot of y'all online and podcast doing exactly what she was doing.

Spreading lies. Spreading false allegations. And eventually, it's going to be your turn right it's just a matter of time somebody is going to sue you that's why you got to pay attention to those cease and desist when you get those cease and desist and you think you can just wipe your ass with them the cease and desist is just the the the the precursor to the actual lawsuit it's the appetizer that's all it is that's all it is so once you read that cease and desist and you know an attorney tells you an attorney tells you what's true and what's false

and you continue to spread the false allegations, it's just a matter of time. So don't laugh at her. Learn. Because a lot of y'all are already liable and don't even realize it. That's right. And lastly, I just want to tell y'all, Rolling Loud, New York City, has been canceled. They're saying logistical factors. Rolling Loud is probably one of the biggest concerts that hit New York City, but it is canceled for this year.

It doesn't mean it's not going to be in other cities. It just won't be in New York. It's going to be coming back to Miami July 21st, 2023. And it says, don't worry, this isn't goodbye. More like see you later. We'll be back in New York when the time is right. And that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?

Man, for after the hour, talking about learning, we you giving that donkey to? Man, before I have to, I was talking about learning. We need James Craig to come to the front of the congregation. He's a 45-year-old dentist who killed his wife, allegedly. We'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlemagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who is going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you.

To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, March 22nd goes to James Craig. Who is James Craig? He's a 45-year-old dentist who was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder Sunday, shortly after his wife died after being taken off life support. God bless her soul. That was her third trip to the hospital this month.

What happened to his wife? Well, police believe that James Craig, the Colorado dentist, laced his wife's pre-workout protein shakes with arsenic and cyanide because he was trying to kill her so he could be with a woman he was having an affair with uh let's go to the news report please this morning a colorado dentist waking up behind bars accused of poisoning his wife and the mother of their six children police calling angela craig's death heinous complex and calculated alleging james purchased arsenic and cyanide and secretly poisoned her protein shakes

according to the arrest warrant after multiple recent hospital visits angela again checked into a hospital wednesday morning complaining of a severe headache and dizziness around two p m she had a seizure her condition rapidly declining doctors moving her to the ICU where she was put on life support before passing away Saturday police zeroing in on her husband according to the warrant after his co-worker told a nurse that James

had ordered potassium cyanide to the office adding there was no medical reason or purpose to make such an order police also believe that James was having an affair even flying a woman out to see him while his wife was dying in the hospital family members telling authorities this is not the first time James had tried to poison his wife and the week before her death she texted him that her head felt funny and dizzy then then said, I feel drugged. James replying, given our history, I know that must be triggering.

Just for the record, I didn't drug you. Lord have mercy. Thank you to ABC News for that report. What a coward James is. We live in a world with so many different forms of communication. We can FaceTime and Zoom with people on another continent. We can speak daily via social media to people in other time zones but with all this means of communication for some strange reason it's gotten harder for people to actually communicate folks don't know how to communicate anymore okay this woman would still be alive and this man would not be arrested

for first degree murder if this man just simply knew how to communicate just tell your woman you don't want to be with her anymore. OK, I'll tell her you want to be in a Polynesian sauce relationship. OK, a little communication goes a long way. All right. This applies to all things. If you're busy, say it. If you're upset, express it. If you're running late, let people know. Don't make up dumb ass excuses, lies no one believes because now we can't trust you.

And now we think you're a liar. OK, if you don't want to do something, be straightforward and say you don't want to do it if you're unsure ask all right if you don't want to be with someone anymore just tell them all right it's so simple but for whatever reason the hardest thing for people to do is communicate all right now this is what i don't understand but it's another one of these things that is happening in this strange internet era people googling the crimes they want to commit. Like it's hilarious to me when I see police say evidence gathered by investigators and all the evidence is said criminal incriminating themselves via social media. Like when when when I was coming up in the 1900s, you had crime stoppers. Remember crime stoppers? I do remember McGruff, the crime crime dog you take a bite out of crime

Those were entities created because they wanted to create a sense of community where people looked out for each other Okay, basically if you see something say something that too was a national campaign By the way, the point is they used to have these campaigns they encourage people to talk nowadays You don't need that you don't need that because folks is telling on each other with these things called laptops and smartphones. OK, because James Craig was Googling questions like is arsenic detectable in an autopsy? Investigators believe James put arsenic in one of the protein shakes he made for his wife. He also had a rush shipment of potassium cyanide and another substance. I think it's pronounced Olandrin.

He ordered the olandrin but that was intercepted by authorities after they began investigating him man let me tell you something if you can spend all that money on those products spend all that time and energy creating this diabolical plan to kill your wife then you can spend that same money time and energy on a marriage counselor a therapist some type of third party that can communicate for you which you are too much of a coward to communicate to her and that is clearly that you just didn't want to be with her anymore people like this i would never understand okay this man didn't lose his wife because he started cheating no no no no no he lost his wife because he stopped communicating

all right you don't have to cheat to lose someone you can lose someone from a lack of communication i'll say it again this woman is dead and this man is in prison because he was too afraid to communicate. Just tell her you want to move on, bro. All right. Tell her things are not working anymore. All right. You might have lost some money in a divorce. You might have gotten half, but that is better than her being deceased and you spending the

rest of your life in prison. You should have been Googling ways to divorce your wife peacefully. Okay. Trust me. life in prison you should have been googling ways to divorce your wife peacefully okay trust me after i read this story this morning i googled that because i'm like that's gotta be an option you don't go straight to murder do you so if they ever go through my computer and see that in my search history how to divorce your wife peacefully trust me i was doing research for this story okay i just want to put that out there okay all right and it's a bunch of them. They have 10 tips for a peaceful divorce, even from a narcissistic spouse. They have seven ways to divorce as peacefully as possible. 10 peaceful ways to divorce with dignity.

There is a bunch of them. The moral of the story today for this donkey is communicate, communicate, communicate. When you lose communication, you lose everything. Simple as that without communication there's no relationship without respect there is no love without trust there is no reason to continue please give james craig the biggest he all my god and i just want to tell people out there even if you clear your safari history or your chrome history they can still pull it back up don't think when you erase that it's gone forever

and oh i just now i made it over nope once they take that laptop they can go back to your history i think laptops should be treated like uh rap lyrics which means meaning sometimes we google search things just because we can like we might be in here having a conversation about something crazy so we google search it so sometimes your google search history can look nuts but treat it like rap lyrics meaning that if you're rapping about a crime and then you actually go commit that crime then your laptop history can be you know used in the court of law but sometimes we just be in here google searching crazy ass stuff let me pass me your laptop go ahead i want to see

what you google here i have no problem doing it it's gonna be some crazy stuff because i do donkey today every day but we'll do it when we come back all right you don't even know how to do that i do i don't show me i'm not showing you all right when we come back now i uh yalla van zant stopped through earlier and this is what she said about women these days. What is the distinction between feminine power and masculine power? And we've been conditioned and trained to be men in skirts.

We do everything like men. We compete like men. I said this on your spot a few weeks ago. I said, most women want their boyfriend to act like their girlfriends you know chatting shopping but when the man comes home what they meet is another dude so the question is 800-585-1051 are women today more masculine than feminine now let the record show uh during that conversation uh envy and i were doing what we should have been doing which is just sitting there and listening because i am not a woman nor do i identify as a

woman me neither okay so that is a diana vazana's og woman so that is her place to say and that is her opinion therefore i don't want to hear from none of y'all negroes on the phone either are y'all caucasian males i want to hear from nothing but women about this topic okay hispanic males too males if you got a penis all right don't call up for this topic i want to hear from nothing but women about this topic. Okay. Hispanic males too. Males, if you got a penis, don't call up for this topic. I want to hear from the women about this. Are women today more masculine than feminine? That is the question. 800-585-1051.

Let's have a discussion. Only people with hoo-hahs. She said hoo-hahs. Only people with hoo-hahs can call. Hoo-hahs, yeah. Only people with hoo-hahs. If you got a little hee-hee, don't call. Okay?

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just join us, we had Ayanla Bonzant here this morning, and we were talking about, are women more masculine than feminine? That's a choosing violence question. I'm going to be honest with you, but guess what? Let's play the clip. What is the distinction between feminine power and masculine power? And we've been conditioned and trained to be men in skirts. We do everything like men.

We compete like men. I said this on the R Spot a few weeks ago. I said most women want their boyfriend to act like their girlfriends. You know, chatting, shopping. But when the man comes home home what they meet is another dude now when ayala was here i was silent because i had nothing to say about that situation i'm not a woman i don't identify as a woman i don't have a hoo-ha okay i have a hee-hee all right are you sure um yes you know and so i'm just here i'm just here to listen to the phone calls

and you know i don't want to hear from nothing but women about this i don't want to hear about i don't want to hear from nobody with a penis if you identify as a. I don't want to hear from nothing but women about this. I don't want to hear from nobody with a penis. If you identify as a man, I don't want to hear from you. Hello, who's this? Shalisa. Hey, Shalisa. Good morning. Good morning. Do you think women are more masculine than feminine nowadays? Yes, I do,

but it's not because we want to. I think it's because we have to. I work with a big group of men and when i tell you i have argued with these men like women just to prove that hey you know i'm a woman they don't open doors they don't lift anything heavy anymore and let's not even get started about how a lot of them want you to come 50 50 in households like why am i gonna sit here and do all of that when i am already doing it on my own like i don't need you to come in and do all of that like it's stupid shalisa let me ask you a question do you think

part of this is because i would say in the last i would say maybe 10 years everybody's been talking everybody wants everything 50-50. Women want the same amount as men. So it's kind of like, well, if you want the same amount, do the same amount. I don't look at it like that. But do you think maybe that's part of it? It could be part of it. But I'm going to say this.

Like, from where I come from, my grandma works, my grandfather works. But when she wanted to retire and start her business, my grandfather made it so that was possible. I have my other grandmother on my dad's side i don't ever recall her working like in my entire life i don't recall her having a job but things got done i feel like they talk about they want these women to step back into these roles but they're not doing what their grandfathers have done and that was pay all the bills. Okay, thank you. I'm just listening. Okay, let's go to another

call. I'm just listening to this trauma being spilled over this radio this morning. Lola! What up, though? What up, though, Detroit? So what do you think? You think women are more masculine than feminine? I think women have become more masculine because they've had to. Not because we want to or because we choose to but because we don't have men

to lead up and that's not i'm not there are some very good strong men that be their women but in most cases we have become masculine because we have to be not because we want to be um yeah i don't think it's a choice anymore. It's interesting when people say that because it's like a man shouldn't dictate how you move, right? Just because a man isn't showing up the way he needs to show up doesn't mean you got to be more masculine, does it? Well, we're supposed to be a helpmate. And if we don't have the person that we supposed to be helping then we got to carry the load on our own because i think it results in us

becoming more masculine or feeling like we need to be in that position no i think we've done it because we have to because we have to not because we have a choice because the men are lacking in that area i also wonder what the balance is, right? Because you got to have sacred masculine and you got to have divine feminine. Like, they both exist in both genders. So I wonder what that balance looks like. Well, what are you doing that you feel like is masculine that you shouldn't be doing?

Wearing right guard. Shut up, man. Taking out the trash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Taking out the trash. Yeah. Getting my oil changed. Yeah.

Taking my car to the car wash. Yeah, well, yeah. Taking my the trash. Yeah. Getting my oil changed. Yeah. Taking my car to the car wash. Yeah, well, yeah. Taking my car to get gas. Things like that. Things like that. I'm not going to lie. My dad definitely did that for my mom. My mom, I don't think, ever been to a car wash.

Only a gas station if she had to. And I do the same thing for my wife. My wife does get car washes, though. She'll go if she has time. But, yeah, my wife has never seen the inside of a place. And that's what I'm teaching my son. Like, to be real men. Like, your wife get hit on the most at the gas station. You should never let your wife go to the gas station.

That's what she's going to get hit on the most. What if she's driving and she's on E? Like, come on now. Some of this is ridiculous. You should let her get on E. No, that's the truth. Because, like, when my wife, when I, well, usually on the weekends, I take my wife's cars to get gas. I take my wife's cars to get gas.

I take my daughter's cars to get gas. What if she's driving during the week and she's on E? Also, let's reverse that. If a man cooks and a man cleans, is that things that are regulated only to women? No, because there's plenty of single men out here who don't have nobody to cook for them and have nobody to clean for them. Those are just basic necessities to survive. And they probably are a little more,

they're probably a little more in touch with their feminine side as well. Oh my God. You're right. You're right. Not in a negative way, like a neck zone, but they're probably more

in touch with their feminine side. I think cooking, when I lived by myself, cooking and cleaning was just basic necessities you needed to survive. And Lola, you're right. And that's why you appreciate

a woman more once you finally do get one because she's your helpmate and she usually takes on those types of responsibilities. Okay. And Lola, you're right. Yesterday, my wife went to the car wash to get her car cleaned.

And you know what? Dudes were hollering. So that's the last time she go into that goddamn car wash. I'm going to wash her car every day for her. Just stay out that damn car wash. You better take her car to get gas. She'd be jealous. She'd be like, I want to get hollered at. I want to go to the car wash. I want dudes your car to get gas. He'd be jealous. He'd be like, I want to get hollered at.

I want to go to the car wash. I want dudes hollering at me. Shut up, man. 800-585-1051. Ayanla Vazant. She was here earlier this morning, and she was saying that women are more masculine today than feminine. Let's talk about it. We'll take your calls when we come back.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it Good morning. I know it, man. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it.

They can't always be with that. Call me. Send your opinion 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're talking about Ayanla Vanz Zahn. She was here earlier and she was talking about women being more masculine than feminine today. I'm just listening. I'm just listening. What is the distinction between feminine power and masculine power? And we've been conditioned

and trained to be men in skirts. We do everything like men. We compete like men. I said this on Yarspot a few weeks ago. I said, most women want their boyfriend to act like their girlfriend. You know, chatting, shopping. But when the man comes home, what they meet is another dude. I'm just sitting here listening like I was sitting here listening when Ayaan Labanjian was talking

because I'm not a woman and I don't identify as a woman. I have thoughts, but I would rather hear what women got to say. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This Angel from Detroit. Angel, what up, though? What up, though? You know what we talking about. I called in to get in on y'all. Like, for real,

y'all know it's 2023. Of course we doing way more masculine work than feminine. Way more masculine energy than we're working in our feminine. It has to stop. I'm going to need y'all to get out of these communities and rebuild these fellas. Okay? They done took over our clothes.

They want to do everything we do. So now we got to do everything y'all supposed to be doing. I'm over it. Okay. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Arity. Arity. Arity.

Good morning. What do you think? You think women are more masculine than feminine? No, I think that depending on the situation, the woman's going to show her femininity. Like, if you're not giving enough energy where we feel the need to be soft and acceptable, then we're not going to be. We're going to be, I guess, more masculine. But all in all, not at all. True okay well thank you mama thank you have a good day you too hello who's this this is sky

blue hey good morning we're asking do you think uh women are more masculine and feminine um yes they are tend to be more masculine um i myself realize that I've been a lot more masculine than I was normally. And I feel like that's just because of hardships. Men today, at least the men that I've came across, have not been masculine themselves. So I find myself having to pick up what they're not doing. And I just find myself just being, you know, in your face right i got it myself i'm gonna do it myself like and i realized that i was masculine when i had finally had a daughter and i realized there was something feminine about me and i realized like maybe that was a problem

in a lot of my relationships that i didn't know how to be just a woman in a skirt. I was trying to play the role of a man while still being a woman. And I feel like a lot of women are like that because not all men, but a lot of men around, they're not masculine anymore. So if a woman is with a man that's not presenting a safe

environment where she can grow and flourish and be feminine, her masculine side is going to come out okay i'm gonna be honest with you man i blame beyonce why you blame beyonce we have a generation of women raised by beyonce you know and i love beyonce y'all know my pinkie smith winfrey knows carter but beyonce you know she told y'all to be independent women all my ladies independent all of that you know then it was all my single ladies and then she went and got married on y'all ass okay and left y'all out here confused

with no direction what happened to the independent woman era somebody has to admit that being an independent woman is overrated and the reason women were independent is because they had to be okay it was almost out of us out of survival all right not because they had to be. Okay, it was almost out of survival, all right, not because they wanted to be. I do know we have to find a balance, though, because the world is never going to be what we need it to be until everyone has the right balance of sacred masculine and divine feminine. That's when the world is, you know, going to be what we want it to be. Is that your moral of the story?

That is definitely my moral of the story. Because nobody said that yet. Nobody has said, you know, nobody's admitted being an independent woman was overrated. And by the way, being a single man is overrated. Like the only reason people want to be independent is because they feel like they have to be in that moment. But everybody wants a partner, bro. Everybody wants a partner that they can grow with. Everybody wants a partner

that they feel protects them, provides for them. Everybody wants a partner that's going to have their back, man. That's it. Like what Method Man said on All I Need. Rub me on my back, baby,

and tell me everything will be okay. Everybody wants that. Say it with me. Stop stopping. See, this is y'all problem. Y'all spent 15 years singing all them damn songs and telling the universe

y'all want to be a single lady? I'm a single lady. I had to dance. Forget all that. Tell the universe you want a partner, a man. Okay, men, tell the universe you want you a woman. Say it. We need more positive music.

What's the record that can bring people together, man? Cuff It? All right, all right, all right. Well, we got rumors on the way. We got to talk about XXXTentacion and Tekashi69. He got into it in Florida. All right, well, let's get into the rumors right now. Let's go.

Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I don't gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. That's right. It's time for the rumors, huh? It's time for rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes.

On the breakfast club. That's right. It's time for the rumors, huh? It's time for rumor report. And we had somebody pop in to bring us some drugs. I did not bring drugs. So I was like, yo, you might as well sit for the rumor report. That's right.

Flame Monroe is here. Drop the ball for flame. Wake that ass up this morning. Mother is home. All right. So let's get into some of these reports. Now, Tekashi69 was brutally attacked in a Florida gym. They said he was in the spa, and they said a bunch of men came inside and whooped his ass.

It was so bad that they had to rush him to the hospital in an ambulance. Oh, just a whole thought. 6ix9ine, a bunch of men. That sounds so graphic. But you know they say snitches get stitches. It just took a minute. But because didn't he snitch? Yes.

Oh, okay. Well, snitches get stitches. But 6ix9ine and a bunch of men. I'm down for that party. What was that at? That's his name. I know what his name is. But 6ix9ine mean a whole lot of other things, too.

And I ain't talking about no height. But listen, hear me and hear me well. I hope he feels better. I hope he's okay. But you got to know who to trick to. You got to know who to tell on. Guys, I want you to know this is live. Flamin' Roll, this is live.

Flamin' Roll just pulled up on us. Flamin' Roll just came here to bring drugs. I brought fans. I did not bring drugs. Y'all going to be feeling good by the end of this show, though. Prayers for 6ix9ine. We hope you're okay. Give end of this show, though. Prance for six now. We hope you're okay. Give your mouth a shit, player.

All right. Now, J. Cole talks about some of the things that, some nasty habits that he started as a young teen or young kid, I should say. When I was six years old, I was smoking cigarettes regularly around the neighborhood. How does that even happen? Just being around the neighborhood. So you're six. I'm six. The thing was, my brother's four years older than me, almost four years older than me.

And he's 10. He's smoking, too? No, that's the wild thing. I was always hanging around the older kids in the neighborhood that he was hanging around, and they were smoking. And I was young and fearless and trying to be cool. So it was like, oh, y'all smoking? Let me see that.

I need more context because J. Cole... Six years old sounds crazy. Yeah, but J. Cole don't have a lot of conversations. He don't do a lot of interviews. And, you know, the best clip

that I'm hearing from this interview is him admitting he was a Marlboro man. Like, come on. There's got to be more to that interview than that, right? At six.

Oh, my God. That's the clip they pulled for us. What kind of influence was that? Oh, you couldn't find nothing else to? At six. Oh my God. That's the clip they pulled for us. What kind of influence was that? You couldn't find nothing else to do at six. Wasn't no Barbie dolls. Wasn't no Tonka trucks.

Wasn't no G.I. Joe's. Look, G.I. Jane, G.I. Tran, something. It definitely wasn't G.I. Tran. Not back then. I know that.

Not back then. Not back then. Lastly, now, have you been hearing what's going on with T-Mall Braxton and Kandy and SWV and Escape?

I've seen all that mess going on. I watched Tamar make a whole live video talking about how she saved and she had five-time Emmy nominated journalist. Hosting a talk show does not make you a journalist. That's the star right there. That's true. And I am a big fan of Kandi Burris because Kandi is hood hustling gangster. I love me some Candy. I hate the Huntay Myers going through all this but this is what we want.

We want all of this drama and this confliction. We keep telling them black women need to bond. Black women need to grow together. But then you go public and say, oh, I'm ready to fight. I'm a Christian. All Christians want a humbug. Let me just say that. All Christians want to fight. They violent as hell. Let me just say it. But I hope they resolve that because Miss Candy don't look like she's going to humbug. Let me just say that. All Christians want to fight. They violent as hell. Let me just say it. But I hope they resolve

that because Miss Candy don't look like she's going to have it. And you know Miss Tate Martin went after her sister. But then the husband stepped in and somebody else jumped in. Men need to stay out of women's business. I'm going to say that. Men need to stay out of women's business. If they're going to duke it out, let them duke it out. I want to see weeds flying, nails cracking, all of that.

You bring up a good point though because everybody always does Talk about togetherness And how people need To come together Until it's reality TV When it's reality TV People want drama

Yes They think it's boring When it's no drama Yeah Throw some heels Across the room I miss Tammy Tammy Roman

Tammy Roman fought Tammy Roman fought Jesus That damn Tammy Roman Fought everybody Bring Tammy Roman back I need the vibes Tammy ain't fighting no more Tammy is an she's involved she's an actor in movies and on this she has her own show first of all i love miss pat show and tammy roman ain't stretched first from where she

was before because she cussed everybody out on that show and i love it yeah tammy said it's right there you know oh it's right there you push it right on the edge oh You pushing she right there. Oh, yeah. She's definitely there. I hope they resolve that. But Kandi ain't backing down. I love Kandi because Kandi is a great businesswoman. She got a mind about making money. And Miss Kandi going to say what she got to say. And Miss Kandi is still the number one TV star on that damn house of Atlanta.

She's been there since the beginning. Well, this is what happened. Tamar clapped back at Kandi, of course, on Shade Room after Kandi said that the girls' group Book and Fee allegedly tripled that of SWVs. Well, Tamar left a comment and said, imagine having the biggest ego for the most non-singing-ass person in the entire music industry. By the way, stream my new song, Change, where I pay homage to the amazing SWV. Oh, you better get that plug in, Tamar. I like Tamar. Tamar, I like her bald head, though. Oh, because bald head that plug in, Tamar. I like Tamar. Tamar, I like a bald head, though.

Oh, because bald head, she kind of turn me on. It do something for me. Oh, she's thuggy and she bald. You know that's my get down. Oh, my God. Tamar, call me, girl. I hope they don't get to fight. I don't know who going to win because Tamar, like,

if she take off all her hair, Kenny going to have nothing to grab. Lord have mercy. I mean, women grab hair. That's true. They grab lord have mercy women grab hair that's true they grab hair first everybody you gonna that's just like a slick leg you just ain't nothing there and take my look thuggy yeah i keep telling you i'm turned on right now i'm sitting on myself good god come on where we at flame what do you do that's the rumor report what are you doing in town i was in i came in town to do sherry shepherd i'm promoting uh i had to do it just sold the rights i'm not going to get the star in the movie but they wrote a character for me so
