Starting point is 00:01:06 They only lost by five. But they did lose. They did lose, yeah. Okay, good, good. A couple pass interferences would have changed it, and also what happened at halftime would have changed it, but it is what it is. I'm happy for the New York Jets.

Most college football is Saturday. That's why I was surprised. I wasn't looking for no Friday night game at 10 o'clock. I wasn't doing nothing on Friday night but laying on the couch. That's it.

Starting point is 00:04:18 in the club. But, I mean, I just don't know why radio doesn't have it in the system yet. It should be in rotation. It's Drake, SZA, and Sexty Ray. Those are three of the
Starting point is 00:04:24 biggest odds on radio right now. You know what I'm saying. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Let's start off with football. Ravens beat the Titans 24-16. Commanders beat the Falcons. Vikings beat the Bears.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Bengals beat the Seahawks. Browns beat the 49ers. Texans beat the Saints. Jaguars beat the Colts. Dolphins beat the Panthers. The Raiders beat the Patriots. Lions beat the Buccaneers. Rams beat the Cardinals.
Starting point is 00:04:43 The Jets beat the Eagles last night, 2014. Thank you, Jets. The Bills beat the Giants. Lions beat the Buccaneers. Rams beat the Cardinals. The Jets beat the Eagles last night, 2014. Thank you, Jets. The Bills beat the Giants. Barely. Y'all cheated. It was two pass interferences at the end of the game. And that halftime thing. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:04:52 What a debacle. And tonight, on Monday Night Football, the Cowboys play the Chargers. Let's go, Big D. Also got a salute to the New York Liberty. They beat the Vegas Aces 87-63. The Vegas Aces lead that series 2-1. Come on, Las Vegas Aces. We need y'all to bring that home.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Let's go, Liberty. Sorry, New York. I root for Asia Wilson. Dropping the clues, bouncing for Asia Wilson. 803 all day. You hear me? All right. Now, Taz, what are we starting with, Taz?
Starting point is 00:05:18 We're going to start with the governor's race in Louisiana. A lot of folks are upset about that. It got turned over to Republicans for the first time since 2016. Let's listen to the report. I'll give you some more information on the other side. Republicans are celebrating as Attorney General Jeff Landry wins the Louisiana governor's race. Landry's win marks a major win for the GOP as they reclaim the governor's mansion for the first time in eight years. Landry brought in more than half of the votes, avoiding an expected runoff. Landry will replace current governor John
Starting point is 00:05:50 Bill Edwards, who was unable to seek reelection. Yeah, so folks are really upset about this, or at least black folks and certainly all the pundits on Twitter and social media. You know, they're pretty much blaming black voters saying that they did not show up for this. They were expecting this to be at least a runoff between Democrat Sean Wilson, who is black. He was going to be the first black statewide elected official. But that did not happen. It was a, you know, outright win. Now, this gives the GOP and particularly the right wing conservative movement, because this candidate is a right-wing candidate a sense of momentum as they head into November uh they are saying that this will also help you know boost uh the other elections they want to win statewide in Kentucky
Starting point is 00:06:33 and Mississippi now the voter turnout was low again like I mentioned uh they're saying you know enough black people didn't come to the polls 17 percent of the voters that went to the polls were black 72 percent of the voters that went to the poll were black. 72% of the voters that went to the poll were white. And so there's a lot of debate about that, which has always been an ongoing debate. Did the Democrat Party spend enough to get out the vote, particularly with a black candidate? Or, you know, do you just blame the voters? I will tell you that the campaign that Landry had was focused on tough on crime. And Wilson was focused on bridging divides.
Starting point is 00:07:04 So it didn't land well what do you guys think and how much did he lose by how much did the black candidate lose by well didn't necessarily lose by but uh the candidate that won won over 50 percent you know of the vote outright against everybody so that's why it's not a runoff but the voter turnout was 17 only 17 percent of black voters so people are saying if black people had you know got out and um certainly could have won the state you know easily and could have been a democrat seat like it's always been so the question is why are black people not motivated to go to the polls i don't have enough i think motivated yeah i don't have
Starting point is 00:07:39 enough information on louisiana business to know why uh black people in louisiana are motivated to go to the poll but doesn't that scare you when you got the the presidential election coming up and people not necessarily feel warm and cuddly they're not feeling necessarily happy kind of makes me feel like that possibly could be the same thing that people won't come out and vote because they don't feel like either candidate is going to help them I mean I I don't know if I can base that off what happened in Louisiana I don't know if Louisiana is you know going to be a reflection of what happens throughout the country. I just feel like people feel like none of these candidates have their best
Starting point is 00:08:08 behind them. So that, that, that, that I believe, you know, I think the people that suffer the most in any of these situations is the people.
Starting point is 00:08:15 So you got to ask yourself, how come, you know, why people aren't motivated. I don't know. I don't know about Louisiana in particular. Well, they,
Starting point is 00:08:22 they are certainly taking it as a, as an opportunity to say that they do believe you know that they have a shot uh white ring right wing candidates have a shot of winning you know as as they move forward so we'll we'll see if if louisiana will be the i guess the you know we'll trickle down and see what other races see what it looks like across the country all right well that is front page news. We'll see you in a couple of minutes, Taz. Absolutely.

But now I'm headed to work and these truck drivers are trying to run me off the road.
Starting point is 00:13:40 They're trying to run you off the road. I'm going to be honest with you. Truck drivers be driving like they just pushing around Hyundais nowadays I don't know who told truck drivers That they got electric cars But they don't They still got big Mack trucks And they need to drive as such
Starting point is 00:13:51 That's what I'm saying man Let me get a lane Let me get a lane Nah they ridiculous I'm not going to front Truck drivers are very Very ridiculous nowadays Even the way they cut over

Starting point is 00:14:10 But yeah, some of them do be disrespectful. I ain't gonna front. Yeah, man. Thank you, man. Have a good one, brother. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. It's Tasha from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Hey, Tasha from Brooklyn. Get it off your chest. So I just want to say how upset I am about the maternity leave here in New York. I just had a baby in July and I'm expected to go back to work after 12 weeks. And it sucks. You know, it's not enough bonding time that we get with our children. How long is it? It's only 12 weeks.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It's literally three months. So my daughter just turned three months and I'm expected to return to work already after three months. So they only pay you for 12 weeks. You can stay out longer, but it'll be without pay. So I'm not returning to work until next year. So all of this time will be without pay. How long would you want it? Well, I'm going to take, so you have job security for up to a year since I work for the city.
Starting point is 00:15:01 My position is safe for up to a year, but after the 12 weeks, I won't get paid. So I decided I'll just take six months. It gives me a little bit more time to bond with her and her to get to just know her environment before I put her like with a babysitter. Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying. Yeah, the funny thing about it is I have two older children
Starting point is 00:15:20 and I had my 17-year-old daughter when I was really young and I went back to work a week later, you know, just not even recognizing or realizing how important it is to bond with your kid in the first couple of months. But I think we could do better.
Starting point is 00:15:36 There's so much policies that could be put into place, especially for black women. And the maternal rate is so high. The death maternal rate is so high. Yes, I just wanted to throw that out there. See, I see both sides because I understand you want to bond with the kids, and that's very, especially the first year, is very well needed.
Starting point is 00:15:53 But also, you know, from a workplace, I mean, they got to pay somebody. They can't continue to pay you for a full year and not have somebody fill that position, you know? So I see both sides, you know? Or maybe if you're able to allow to work at home where that way you can still spend time with your baby at home and you can do a little work that position, you know? So I see both sides, you know? Or maybe if you're able to allow to work at home, where that way you can still spend time with your baby at home, and you can do a little work at home, you know? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's some positions where you can stay at home. My position, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I need to be in the office. Got you. But it's not even actually called maternity leave. It's called FMLA, like Family Medical Administrative Leave. So if that's the case, I think something could be figured out. Alright, well, enjoy that baby. Love that baby. They get big so damn fast. Thank you so much. Have a good one.
Starting point is 00:16:31 What's the baby's name? Her name is Shiloh. Shout out to my baby Shiloh. Shout out to Nyla. Shout out to Anthony. Those are my kids. Shout out to my husband O'Neal. Shout out to you guys. Y'all so f***ing dope. Sholomay, you're my mans in them. Envy, you're my mans in them. I love y'all. Love you back. Get it offagne, you my mans in them. Envy, you my mans in them. I love y'all. Thank you, Queen. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:16:46 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to discuss Jada Pinkett Smith. Has anybody read the book? The book's not out yet, right? Yes, the book did come out. The book came out October 4th.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I meant to go get it this weekend from Barnes & Noble. I'm actually going to go pick it up today because I need to read the book, man. Do you really? Yes, I want to read one of these. Seems like she talked about everything that's in that book. Yeah, but I still want to read it. I don't want to base this off just what I'm seeing as far as headlines and things like that. Alright, well we'll talk more some things that she said about
Starting point is 00:17:17 Pac and her relationship with Will and everything. When we come back, so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jada Pinkett Smith.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. The book comes out tomorrow. I mean, I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. So the book comes out tomorrow. Book comes out tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. I need that. Yeah. We ain't get no advance copies, Eddie? Not yet? Okay. I'll buy it. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Well, she was on tour again, and she's talking about the book. Some things that she claimed that went viral over the weekend. She said Tupac also suffered from alopecia. Well, that shouldn't surprise anybody because if you watch the Dear Mama documentary it was a fantastic documentary on FX they talk about that in episode one of the documentary he actually
Starting point is 00:18:14 got beat up by the police in Oakland and he developed some form of alopecia after that yeah she said I don't think Pac ever talked about his alopecia but he also looked really good with a bald head. But that was during a time and during an era that you wouldn't. He just wouldn't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So she talks about that. She also talked about she addresses rumors of Will Smith being gay. She says, Jesus Christ. She responded. I mean, a million things were out there. No, you know, that's part of it. I would say that none of that's true. I definitely can understand why there'd be misunderstandings,
Starting point is 00:18:45 but none of it's true. I have to read the book. I'm going to pre-order the book on Amazon because it comes out tomorrow, but it's got to be context to these stories. Like this book got to be about something else. This book can't just be about Tupac and Will Smith. Can it? It can't.
Starting point is 00:18:59 It has to be about more than just Tupac and Will Smith, right? Well, she also talks about being introduced to plant-based medicine due to her son i started looking for places cliffs where i could have an accident because i didn't want my kids to think that their mother had committed suicide so as i talked about it in the book i was introduced to plant medicine that actually helped me get through those thoughts so that I would never have to have them again. When Jaden came to me that day and he's like mom you got it Moises and Mateo their dad he
Starting point is 00:19:37 had this experience I need you to come in here and listen I'm like i'm there and so the plant medicine ayahuasca helped me see the unhealthy self-harming thoughts about myself and it opened up a whole new world for me a whole new world of healing that i'm so grateful for so jayden talks about how i introduced him to psychedelics he introduced me to psychedelics i He introduced me to psychedelics. I cannot wait to do ayahuasca. You hear me? It's been calling me for the last couple of years. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:12 You tell me how that works out. I got me a nice shaman. I'm definitely doing ayahuasca. What are you doing here? Or overseas? No, no. I'm going to do it here. He said there's no reason to go overseas. He was like, you know, you go overseas.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Like, why? Yeah, we actually had a conversation about this. I it was in the amazon i think it was the amazon and he's like well how would you go all the way to the amazon to do ayahuasca he's like the amazon is not a pleasant place this is what the shaman was telling me he was like you he don't think it would enhance or benefit your experience right yes and for people that don't know what ayahuasca is what what does it do to the body for people that don't know i've never done it well you read about it do to the body for people that don't know? I've never done it. Well, you read about it. You're thinking about doing this.
Starting point is 00:20:48 You know homework on it, right? You did your homework. I've never done it. So I don't want to tell people what I've read. I would rather experience it. They say it's an experience anyway, though. They say everybody's experience is different. So I don't know what it'll do to my body. But I just know I need to read this jada pinkett smith book worthy okay and i just need to know there's more about i need to know if there has to be more in it than just tupac

You want to break up with your husband and all of this stuff? That's your business. But this public emasculation needs to stop. Jada, all you're doing is elevating the level of vitriol coming your way
Starting point is 00:22:37 because it don't matter what you say. There's nothing you can say to a man to justify what you have done to Will Smith. Every time I see Jada Pinkett Smith talk about Will Smith, I cringe. Tell me anywhere, biblically, scripture-wise, in any scripture, where it encourages you to publicize your personal business for profit when it negatively affects your spouse. That was on first take? I don't know what take that was how'd they get into that debate on first i don't know what i must have missed even podcast that
Starting point is 00:23:13 was the podcast okay okay damn there's some crazy stuff in that book from what i heard though like i heard that she said she never liked fresh prince of bel-air she'd rather watch reruns of juice yo shut up man that's not true i didn didn't say that. I didn't hear that. Well, Will Smith responded. People believe he responded. He's laying down. It looks like he's on a boat and they're cruising somewhere. And he says, fun fact, I can take a nap anywhere.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And he put notifications off. Notifications off? Like, unbothered. And Jada Pinkett Smith puts smiley faces under that post. I heard in the book that Jada says she never liked Will Smith's Summertime because she prefers the fall because she was born September 18th. So she said she never liked Summertime for that reason. Oh, shut up. Any truth to these rumors?
Starting point is 00:23:53 I don't know. I got to get the book. Somebody get me the book, man. But I will say this. People are saying so much about Will, but you don't think they had a discussion about this book before they put it out? Don't you think they're married that they would have to agree on putting this book out?
Starting point is 00:24:06 Don't you think he read the book? They're not married. They've been separated for the past seven years. They're still married, but they just separated. You don't think he would know what's in the book? You don't think they had that conversation?
Starting point is 00:24:13 I have no idea. You don't think he read it beforehand? I don't know. I just know I need to read the book. Me too. That's what I need. Okay, the book comes out tomorrow. I'm sold.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I don't know about y'all. I'm sold. I'm sold. These headlines and everything is cool, but I need to read, me too. Okay, the book comes out tomorrow. I'm sold. I don't know about y'all. I'm sold. I'm sold. These headlines and everything is cool, but I need to read what's going on in this book, man. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What up, tears? Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God, Breakfast Club family. Yo. Now some quick sports. Ravens beat the Titans. Commanders beat
Starting point is 00:25:01 the Falcons. Vikings beat the Bears. The Bengals beat the Seahawks. Browns beat the 49ers. The Texans beat the Saints. The Jaguars beat the Colts. Dol Commanders beat the Falcons. Vikings beat the Bears. The Bengals beat the Seahawks. Browns beat the 49ers. The Texans beat the Saints. The Jaguars beat the Colts. Dolphins beat the Panthers. Raiders beat the Patriots. Lions beat the Buccaneers.
Starting point is 00:25:12 The Rams beat the Cardinals. The Jets beat the Eagles last night. And the Bills beat the Giants, but they cheated. It was two pass interference in that halftime. Hey, shut up, man. You don't got to cheat to beat no damn Giants. The Giants suck. The Giants had that game.
Starting point is 00:25:24 And thank you to the New York Jets for beating the Philadelphia Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys appreciate you. Cowboys, let's go out there and handle business tonight against the San Diego Chargers. No, you guys are not winning that. And congratulations to the Liberty. They beat the Vegas Aces 87-73, but the Aces lead the series 2-1. Let's go, Las Vegas Aces. Asia Wilson, South Carolina, 8-0-3 all day.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I want them to win. They'll be back-to-back WNBA champions, the first back-to-back WNBA champions in history. Let's go, Liberty! Now let's jump right into it. Let's talk California Governor Newsom. Yes, let's talk about the health care workers' minimum wage. Now it goes up to $25 an hour. Maybe other states will follow suit.
Starting point is 00:26:01 California raised the minimum wage for health care workers of $25 an hour over the next decade. It's not going to be immediately, but over the next decade it will increase. The Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom made this decision. He signed the new law, which is the second minimum wage raise that he has done this year. Last month he signed a law raising the minimum
Starting point is 00:26:19 wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour. Now both wage increases are a result of lobbying by the labor unions. As we know, there's been a lot of strikes going on. I'm going to $20 an hour. Now, both wage increases are a result of lobbying by the labor unions. As we know, there's been a lot of strikes going on. I'm going to give you an update on that here in a second. There's been a lot of debate, though, that says, you know, how are we going to pay for it every time there's a wage increase? Folks want to know, how do you pay for it? And they found that a study said that half of the low wage workers are currently on public funded programs, such as, you know, things like food stamps or Medicaid.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And they said that by getting this wage increase, it will basically even it out. You know, just kind of using lameness terms, they predicted it will offset the cost. So they said, don't worry about it. You know, pay the folks what they need to be paid. And that's that. So that might trickle down, you know, in a state near you if they follow that follow suit of that. Now, second, I have which goes directly into this story is Kaiser. We know they the Kaiser employees, the health care employees went on strike and they have reached a tentative deal. And one of those things was increasing the wage. So unions representing eighty five thousand health care workers reached a deal on last week, and it was over staff levels.
Starting point is 00:27:27 The wages, as I just mentioned, the deal includes, again, the $25 per hour, which the governor signed into law for all health care workers, not just Kaiser. And the Kaiser facilities are low in the Kaiser facilities. We're now 23 an hour. So that three day strike involved, again, 75000 workers in multiple states. It ended on last week. And so look like they got what they were looking for, which was better pay and something to help with staff sorted. So looks like strikes actually do work. Well, I'm happy for the health care workers. I'm happy that this strike was successful. But here's the thing about the minimum wage. Right. I'm glad that that is going to happen for the health care workers.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Well, folks need that money now with the way things are going in 10 years will 25 an hour be enough 25 an hour might be a livable wage now but will it be a livable wage in 10 years i don't know but but it went good for them but you know i was looking at the gm strike over the weekend and you know they're striking and they had they laid off 500 people so 500 people that were striking they are actually not gonna get their job and won't be able to come back so sometimes when you strike like that like those people won't be able to live at all you know i mean they got to find new job new ways of making income new ways of paying their rent and food so i'm glad i'm glad they were able to get something out of this deal right yeah for sure but and then but the the folks that
Starting point is 00:28:41 got laid off in the united auto health care workers which you talked about last week, some of those folks weren't even striking at all. You know, they just got laid off as a trickle down effect. So even it's like when you strike, you don't strike. You still get the result of it. And, you know, kind of Charlemagne's point last week, somebody got to stand up and do something, you know, because what's currently happening right now, it's not working. The question comes again. Why is it that we've had more strikes this year than we've had in the last you know several several years hundreds of thousands
Starting point is 00:29:09 across the board are striking so is this uh you know this is a real problem and i don't understand you know well i do understand let me stop acting like i don't understand why are we not talking about this more you know what are they going to do i think people are fed up and it only takes one right like it only takes one you know one group of people to stand up for other people to be inspired, for other people to get the courage to say, you know what? We're going to do the same thing. That's what I that's what I think it is. And so how is this going to affect in November? You know, again, going back to what does this mean? You know, why? Why is it that, you know, what's going to happen with these governor races that people are not talking about, you know, in November? How how is this all going to affect, you know, the everyday person?
Starting point is 00:29:47 This is really going to be a problem as we look into 2024. It just is so. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tess. And make sure you subscribe to Tesla and Figaro's podcast. It's great shot. No chase a podcast on the black spec. I heart radio podcast network and follow at Teslaigueroa on all social media platforms. All right. When we come back, WWE Ric Flair will be joining us. We're going to kick it with him.
Starting point is 00:30:12 He was in the city this weekend for Comic-Con. And we're going to talk to Ric Flair when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club, we got a special guest in the building.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Come on now, the styling, profiling, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing, son of a gun, the nature boy, Ric Flair. Come on now. Morning. Good morning, sir. You get tired of hearing that, people just run up on you in the airport and just start screaming that all the time? I love it. I love it. How are you doing today, first and foremost? I just run up on you in the airport and just start screaming at all the time? I love it. I love it. How are you doing today, first and foremost? I'm great, thank you. How are you?
Starting point is 00:30:49 We're doing good. Doing pretty well. Thanks for having me on. You're in town for Comic-Con, right? Yes. First ever Celebrity Mint. Tell us about that. You got these great cards here. Yeah. Those are actually gold and there's silver there too. Okay. And these are all silver. This one has a gold inlay in it. Okay. And these are all silver.
Starting point is 00:31:06 One has a gold inlay in it. Yep. And they're made by Celebrity Mint out of Houston and distributed via eBay through them. Basically, all over. There will be for $10.30 a mile. When you first started your wrestling career, did you see things like this? Never.
Starting point is 00:31:22 That you'd be trading cards with your... Never. Really? That's amazing. Never imagined imagined especially in silver or gold what made you what made you finally retire for good after 50 years well i had that one match last year you know i still feel great it's funny i i people misunderstand when i say i wish i could wrestle again like i i mean i i feel great i'm probably one of the few guys that still with no hip replacements or knee replacements or shoulder and I feel great. So I could
Starting point is 00:31:47 but I actually I could but I won't. When you first started wrestling. I didn't want to quit. You didn't want to. Vince McMahon said it's time. That's okay. So when you first started wrestling break us down because you know you wanted to be different from everybody else and you were
Starting point is 00:32:04 different from everybody else. So what gave you that mind frame what said this is what i'm gonna be i'm gonna wear these robes i'm gonna be fly i'm gonna be that was after the airplane crash 1975 i crashed in an airplane killed a guy and paralyzed two other guys and while i was rehabbing hopefully hopeful of over wrestling again i met a guy named George Goddard and said, why don't we make you a little bit like Buddy Rogers? Buddy was very popular in the 50s and 60s, nature of Buddy Rogers. I just took that, and in the words of Harley Race, remember Harley? Flair took Rogers' gimmick to a whole new level. He lied to you. He had no idea who Harley Race was. He lied to you. I'm going to look it up, you. He had no idea who the Harley Ray thing was.
Starting point is 00:32:45 He had no idea who that is. You survived a plane crash in 1975. You survived death a couple of times. When you survived a plane crash, how did your life change? What is your mentality from that point on? Well, when you're younger, you don't think about it. I just thought, well, I made it. I was a little bit
Starting point is 00:33:06 intimidated to fly again for the first time but i got on one of those private jets today to get here to make sure i could be around time okay and uh it was great what a way to go i may never fly commercial again when you crashed in the plane did it like explode around you? No, we ran out of gas, so there was no explosion. But normally a small, the twin engine sets in a 310. Normally when you hit an orchard of trees or whatever they were called, the cartwheel plane, we were going so fast, we fell from 6,000 feet, that we just tore down a whole damn orchard and landed in a railroad embankment
Starting point is 00:33:47 that was train tracks on top of it just a half mile from the runway wow how much practice did you guys have to do when it came out of practice no no there was no practice back then you just work out and just the match is at eight and you're there yeah because i'm a little different than a lot of guys a lot of guys like to go out and well i'm not saying it but later on because it's part of the deal now where the guys have to rehearse and all that but i i just was always you know the old school way you got to hear the crowd you can't rehearse something you don't know how the people are going to react to and that's one of the problems today when the young kids they had this match put together they walk out the door and the fans aren't reacting the way they want it and because they don't have the experience not the ability but
Starting point is 00:34:28 don't have the experience that they can't change it around and that's why sometimes they're not getting the reaction from the crowd they want so when you you were wrestling there was no practice is two men in that match and whatever happened happened you get slapped we knew the outcome and then we just know from this and when you get slapped in the face it wasn't practice like oh this just slapped me in my face yeah oh tell them to wow yeah hit me with brass knuckles we used to have a brass knuckles in the old days not the real brass knuckles right bust ourselves open up we were called the hard ways jesus christ you can break the cell bone right here it's real really just clip it a little open oh so you know you got to hit hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Okay. Then I always had that surgical little thing right here. That was the best part of my work. Get me to my blade and I'm good. You had a blade in your fingers too? A blade in your fingers? So you could have missed and went too far, but... I have a couple times. Y'all got to have some really nice relationships with each other.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I'm thinking the same really nice relationships accidentally cut somebody with a blade and not be the person not be upset at you for it oh no I was never cutting anybody else I just cut myself oh yeah okay I get what you said but I have cut some guys but they knew what coming knew what was coming so you must think this new wrestling is so soft with what you were dealing with it's's not soft because nothing is ever soft. It's just a different time. It's like Lawrence Taylor. Could Lawrence play right now?
Starting point is 00:35:51 He'd be suspended every game. He'd be fined so much right now. Or Dick Butkus who just passed away. The rules would just change. It's still very difficult, very physically demanding sport. These guys are doing stuff now where they're jumping off tables and ladders.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I only did that a couple times. What was your last match like for you when you fought Jeff Jarrett? It was great except for the fact I didn't anticipate. I psyched myself out. I was dehydrated and I went out there and we put together what I thought
Starting point is 00:36:24 was a real match. It wasn't ever going to be a masterpiece, but we put together the match, and then I got real lightheaded, and there were about five minutes in the match, and I said to one of the guys, I'm not feeling good. Well, it just went around the ring like he's saying, like his heart's bad or whatever, right?
Starting point is 00:36:43 But we got it straightened out but it was just funny I just dehydrated and then Undertaker came back to the dressing room and made me drink three Gatorades
Starting point is 00:36:53 and I went over to Kid Rocks and partied with the kid all night so I was fine but I saw you say you wish you had picked a different
Starting point is 00:37:02 person to have your last match against no no that's a misinterpretation. These damn podcasts just say it and it comes out wrong. There's a guy that's still active today, Ricky Morton from Rock and Roll Express. And if I were to have a singles match, not a tag,
Starting point is 00:37:22 it's always what they wanted to have a tag match because they didn't think I could make it through a singles. If I was going to have a singles match now, it would be with Ricky Morton. He's still active and he's doing great. And he was so good. I'm a much better bad guy than I am a good guy. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:41 But you always were kind of like that. You're the bad guy, but then you're like the bad guy people root for. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's out of respect over the years. Yeah. How do you prepare yourself to say, okay, this is my last match? And did it really feel that way?
Starting point is 00:37:56 I just focused on it. What it did is I had four months to really get myself in shape. I mean, I work out pretty hard anyway, but to really get myself in, and I had made up my mind that I would be as good as shape, not cosmetically, obviously, because I'm a cosmetic nightmare. That's not true. One of the ladies out there says,
Starting point is 00:38:14 he's so cute. Definitely said that. One of the ladies out there said that. She hasn't seen me without my shirt since my surgery. Without my shirt, not so cute since my surgery. But I was ready. I just framed that full forward. And, you know, you know, you remember Vince Lombardi's favorite saying,
Starting point is 00:38:34 fatigue makes cowards of us all. I mean, I would never worry about getting tired because I was always in better shape. So I actually got myself in as good a shape as I was in 1974. I was doing 500 free squats and 100 push-ups. You still work out to this day? Yes. Really? When I'm home, I've been gone quite a bit, but I go up and train
Starting point is 00:38:56 with John Cena's trainer, Rob. Alright, we got more with Ric Flair. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Steve, JMV, Sean Levine, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with wrestling great, woo, Ric Flair. Charlamagne? I always wonder, because you always talk about just steroids before, right?
Starting point is 00:39:16 But you never had the physique of the- No, I didn't take it. I took steroids when I remember it, too. Kind of hard to remember to take your pills exactly when. That's the only way you get that big physique like that? No, you get it through hard work.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Okay. But I wrestled so much I didn't pay much attention to my diet. Because in wrestling I did a lot of hour matches. And when I was younger I would wrestle 300 hour matches a year.
Starting point is 00:39:45 So you get mentally here and then you can eat and drink what you want. And then all of a sudden, your metabolism changes. You retire. You got to be careful. You know what I mean? Are you still surprised that some of your catchphrases still people are saying now to this day? And even some of the rappers still want you in their videos, make songs. Like Offset, who was here this week.
Starting point is 00:40:04 His album's out right now. Offset was here? Yeah, Offset was here a couple days ago. Yeah, he's a great guy. Does that still surprise you when these rappers call you and things like that? Not really. I mean, Doja Cat's new too, you know, with my catch line. Nobody can be first, but anyone can be next.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Yeah, I love Offset. He's great. Metro Boomin, those are great guys. Why are you laughing? Metro Boomin's got another one out now. Well, yeah, Offset album came out. It's out right now, yep. Now, you had a ruptured intestine too in 2017. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Then you got put into a coma, respiratory heart failure, pneumonia, all kind of stuff. How did that? Total kidney failure, everything. Two total? Jesus Christ. How did that near-death experience impact you? That changed my life. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Because I couldn't walk or anything. I didn't have any memory for six months. That was when I decided that I needed to make sure that everybody that mattered to me in my life, I told. Wow. Not going religion on you. I mean, obviously, we all have our own religion, and I believe in God very strongly. But it really made me aware of telling people that I like because you never know.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'm living proof you never know. I was just sitting at a bar like I will be tonight with these guys, and all of a sudden I got a pain in my stomach. I didn't wake up for 31 days. Wow. I don't even remember going to the hospital. Damn. Do you remember the first person you told you loved
Starting point is 00:41:21 when you finally was able to? Well, it must have been my wife, Wendy. I guess it would be her. Hogan said that I looked looked at him and said get me a six-pack of beer you consider yourself the greatest wrestler of all time yes i'm not on my mount rushmore um you're not no because i don't know i believe i think better have somebody else put you there. But my Mount Rushmore, in terms of importance to the business, is Stone Cold. Hulk, obviously. Undertaker.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And I think Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels is the greatest performer of all time in our business. Why is The Rock on your Mount Rushmore? He would be, except he didn't stay long enough. I think part of the Mount Rushmore is longevity. You know, it's hard to be really good and Rock was great.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I mean, but he took off and he's on my Mount Rushmore for interview skills and everything else and I remain very close to him. But he,
Starting point is 00:42:18 you know, he just had that unbelievable amount of charisma. God, what a great guy. What do you think the difference between the WCW and WWF was as far as business?
Starting point is 00:42:27 Oh, the WWF was run like a business. Okay. WCW was just catch-as-catch-can. Wow. Everybody had their own thing going. And the guy that ran it, he liked creating dissension between, let's say it's Scott Hall and Kevin with the NWO head guys right obviously there are other guys and it was say stinging Luger and then Hulk and Randy I mean is he just likes to create that create right
Starting point is 00:42:54 it was his style of doing business and nothing ever works like that and then Hulk had you know total creative control which I don't blame him for he brought he brought a lot to the table but But it's just hard to function. I mean, they did. And they did great for 83 weeks. But at the end of 83 weeks, how do you bankrupt Ted Turner? Damn. Because I love the Four Horsemen.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And I always wonder why the Four Horsemen never got to the level of DX or NWO. Oh, the time frame. Okay. Yeah, if we were 10 years too early. Gotcha. If we'd come along in the 90s, that frame. Okay. Yeah, if we'd been, we're 10 years too early. Gotcha. If we'd come along in the 90s, that same four people, that would have been. I was always wondering, like, when you talk WWF or WWE or NWA or whatever, how do they decide who is going to be that quote-unquote man, right?
Starting point is 00:43:39 You know, they give you the opportunity, and you got about five minutes to do something that the guy goes. That people are going to like, really? I mean, you got that, we to do something that the guy goes that people look alike really i mean you got that you got we call it gorilla right there's vince and hunter and what were the agents are that got some like michael hayes guys that have been there for a while and you got they go out the door and you got five minutes to show them something that's gonna make them go hmm or you know v Vince, I've seen him a thousand times. He's either gonna tell you he's a s***. Or he's gonna shake your hand and say, nice job.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You know what I mean? Or I'll talk to you later. My case, I'll talk to you later. Do you remember that conversation with you, that first conversation when they pulled you to the side and say, you're the guy? Yeah, it was. That's when I won the NWA championship for the first time. I guess I'd be 81. But I wasn't the guy? Yeah, well, that's when I won the NWA championship for the first time. I guess I'd be 81. But I wasn't the guy I thought I was.
Starting point is 00:44:28 But I had wrestled so many guys that were really good in that one area of the Mid-Atlantic, right? That when I went on the road and started wrestling guys for an hour that didn't know anything about wrestling, when I thought I knew it all, I was lost. And I didn't draw. So they took it off me, and then I prepared myself and got myself back and realized that everybody's not going to be the best wrestler every night. And then the second time, I was ready to go. That's when I really turned it on. Where did the 54 leg lock come from?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Buddy Rogers. Okay. Does that work in real life if you put somebody in there? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Really? I put a linebacker at Penn State still sitting on the floor of a bar. Well, I would love to see you put on Charlemagne one time.
Starting point is 00:45:12 One time. Tell me about the guy in the bar in Penn State. What happened to him? Well, you know, the phony wrestler thing. He said, figure four. The kid told me. He said, I can get out of that. I said, no, you can't.
Starting point is 00:45:23 He said, yeah, I can. I said, you got to let me get out of that. He was a big kid, too. He said, I can get out of that. I said, I can't. I said, yeah, I can. I said, you got to let me get out of that. He was a big kid, too. He's still laying there. If you feel up for it, before you leave, I want to see you put it on Charlamagne. He'll let you do it. Yes, one time, yes.
Starting point is 00:45:36 And you got to tap out? Yes, I would love to see that one time. Come on. You won't have me back on then. What's your favorite iteration of the Four Horsemen? Arn Tully, myself, and Barry Windham. That's your favorite iteration of the Four Horsemen? Arn, Ali, Arn, Tully, myself, and Barry Windham.
Starting point is 00:45:48 That's the original one, right? Huh? Is that the original one? The original one was with Ole, but Ole, his kids were older at that
Starting point is 00:45:55 time and he wanted to work part-time. Ole was great, but the best four were Barry, Arn, myself, and Tully. Do a lot of younger wrestlers come up to you and ask for
Starting point is 00:46:04 guidance and mentorship and do you give it to a lot of the younger wrestlers come up to you and ask for guidance and mentorship? Do you give it to a lot of the younger wrestlers? I try to, but I realize it doesn't mean anything. Because the first thing they're going to, they want to go look and see what the fans are saying. Yeah. Social media runs everything. How do you think a younger player would handle social media? Well, he'd be in jail.
Starting point is 00:46:24 We'd be conducting this interview from Rikers Island we see too much right yeah hello Rick are you still at Rikers do you mind joining the breakfast club why don't you talk about your silver coins that is hilarious it's the truth young Rick Fleur I don't think so talking about your silver coins.
Starting point is 00:46:46 That is hilarious, man. It's the truth. Young Ric Flair? I don't think so. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Ric Flair when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Morning, everybody. It's the principal. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with wrestling great Ric Flair. Charlemagne?
Starting point is 00:47:02 How is it watching your daughter follow in your footsteps? Oh, God, it's amazing. That I'll take very seriously. She's the greatest thing going. You seen her? Yeah. She's in a different world, different planet, different stratosphere than I was.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Did you want her to? No. I said, somebody asked her, and she was doing real well in the business world, graduated college, and I saw her looking and the guy asked her, and he said doing real well in the business world, graduated from college. And I saw her looking, and the guy asked her, and he said, why aren't you doing this? And I had a talent relation at the time.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I saw her just, I know her like a book. I saw her walk around the room and think to herself. She walked over to me and said, what are you thinking about? And I said, I don't know. Why? She said, I just want to, I think I'm just going to try it. She is not the greatest of all time. Isn't that like the ultimate form of homage to you, though?
Starting point is 00:47:48 Well, it's not really, you know, it's because of her little brother, my son that passed away. Everything I think is still in the back of her mind. She's fulfilling the dream that he lived, which makes it even more special and more personal. That's clearly the most important thing to you. Yeah, absolutely. What do you think sports entertainment is missing right now? I don't think it's missing anything, man. I think it's tracking on all fours.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I mean, every time you turn around, Tony is opening up another show, and they've got three live shows a week now. WWE's making more money than ever. I still believe that wrestling is the greatest form of sports entertainment there is. People will be like, oh, it's not real. Yeah, but they're sold out saying it's not real. They can say whatever they want to say.
Starting point is 00:48:33 People watch it. It's not just the blue-collar fans. I mean, doctors, lawyers, everybody loves it. I think it's a misconception as to how much hard work goes into it, especially if you're on top now. Because let's say they're working a full schedule. They still wrestle, you know, 155 times a year, I think, at the full schedule, right? But if you're in the top tier, you know what you're doing on the three days off you have?
Starting point is 00:48:57 All you're doing is media. Media for the next round. Media for the next match. I mean, there is no time off really. Mm-hmm. That's why it's nice that Vince or whoever's calling the shots
Starting point is 00:49:10 now understands the kids need to take a month break here or there. I was going to ask you, how does your body heal with so many matches? You're talking 155 matches
Starting point is 00:49:17 of getting beat up. I wrestled 425. I wrestled over 400 times for eight years. We don't wrestle. We just drink and sleep on the plane. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:49:29 That's one of the reasons I got into the cannabis business. I've been eating Xanax, trying to sleep on these international flights. I've told them, somebody asked me about it one week. I wrestled an hour in Sydney, wrestled an hour in Auckland, wrestled an hour in Christchurch, flew to St. Louis, an hour in St. Louis, flew to Atlanta, an hour in Auckland, wrestled an hour in Christchurch, flew to St. Louis an hour in St. Louis, flew to Atlanta an hour in Atlanta, and flew to Tokyo all in the same week. Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:51 That's a lot of booze in at least three of the annexes. So you like to smoke the weed? I do. I can, but I can't hang with Mike. I would love to see you and Mike Tyson smoke. I'm saying edibles are what? Edibles can get you off his annex. Have you had Mike Tyson's. I'm saying edibles or what. Edibles. Edibles can get you off his attic. Have you had Mike Tyson's edibles?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Huh? Have you had Mike's edibles? Mike Tyson's? Yeah, I've had mine too. I have my own called Woochoos. Really? Yeah. You should have brought some of that up too.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Hell yeah. With these cards. You should have brought some cards. It's Woochoos. Let's talk about the reason that you're in town, Comic-Con. Let's talk about these coins and these cards that you have. Let's talk about them again. Are they awesome? Are you feeling the weight of them yep it's all the silver guys so what are
Starting point is 00:50:28 they doing over here come here come to the mic one of y'all come to the mic so we yeah i can explain it any any one of y'all so the nature boy will be releasing our product so we'll post all the prices and all the products that are available and rick and i will be opening them live for customers so there's different chase elements inside there so there'll be redeemables for personalized memorabilia from rick a meet and greet with rick is also available so there's a lot of cool stuff that will be we'll announce it these are limited are these limited edition yeah so i made a thousand of this of the silver uh coins and the bigger holders there those i made a thousand of those and then of the gold card there's 500. Wow, so 500 for the gold. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Okay. It's pure gold. Isn't that nice? Is there a website? It's celebritymint.com Celebritymint.com The distribution will be handled by eBay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:13 That's so cool. Congratulations, man. You deserve it. Thank you, sir. The fact that you got your body beat up and they only paid you $800,000,
Starting point is 00:51:19 I'd love to see you winning that, man. That was just one year. That was just one year. That's 500 for the most before that before that wow
Starting point is 00:51:27 I did want to ask you what do you think about celebrities getting into wrestling like when you see the Logan Pauls and the Bad Bunny I like the guys
Starting point is 00:51:35 that are actually good athletes and I've got no problem with that I'm not crazy about some of the people they bring in but I mean
Starting point is 00:51:41 when they actually couldn't get in the ring and Bad Bunny was a really good friend of mine. He did pretty good. He did really good. He killed it. He did really good.
Starting point is 00:51:48 But that Paul kid, believe it or not, I know that Sean trained him, which I wasn't aware of, but that Paul kid is damn good. He's an athlete. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:57 And he ain't afraid of anything. Yeah. You know, a big part of wrestling is when they start telling you to jump off that turnbuckle and go through the table, I mean,
Starting point is 00:52:04 that table doesn't always break the way you want it to. Nothing guaranteed about those tables. They're not gimmicked or anything. They haven't been taking their screws out. You got him right dead center in the middle, they won't break the right way. Hold on, so those tables weren't staged? No, absolutely not. God dang.
Starting point is 00:52:20 That's a big misconception. Do you know how many people y'all got hurt that went home and tried that on one of them tables? Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Especially with the steel chairs. Yeah, steel chairs, they don't know more headshots because of all the concussion issues. You know, I mean, guys like Mick Foley and stuff Mick did is still, if you look at the stuff going off the top of the cage. And then that time I was just talking to Taker about it the other day when they were on top of the cage. And Taker said, God, Mick, I can feel the wires breaking on top, right?
Starting point is 00:52:48 Mick said, I'm ready. And, boy, he fell through, landed in the back of his neck. Teeth went through his nith right to his nose. Oh, my gosh. Mick has beat his brains out, man. More, more, I mean, thumbtack matches. I only had a couple of those with him. It doesn't hurt while you're out there, but, man, when you go back there and the opponent thumbtack matches i only had a couple of those but it doesn't hurt while you're
Starting point is 00:53:05 out there but man when you go back there and they're pulling on thumbtacks out here and the barbed wire stuff that the barbed wire is really rough and barbed wire baseball bat there's nothing good about that jesus all the time i thought all that stuff was props props too i'm like there's no way that's real thumbtacks they gotta be plastic no no way that's real barbed wire but we hit a guy with a barbed wire, you're going to hit him one time. And once again, it doesn't hurt when you're out there because the adrenaline is flowing, right? But when you go back and you've got barbed wire in your head. Y'all had to be on more than adrenaline.
Starting point is 00:53:35 You had to be on something. There's no way y'all were not. No, I mean, they didn't stick it in. The barbed wire didn't stick in you, but it whacked you. Yeah, when your adrenaline is running, you'd be surprised. How many medics were backstage? How many what?ances oh they have um they have two full-time doctors just two had to be some cocaine involved man okay had to be not not for me never really some people you don't teach the kids about cocaine anymore back in the 80s yeah it was very prevalent
Starting point is 00:54:03 i don't i never hear of any cocaine use in our business. I'm not saying they don't. Yeah, yeah. But it's certainly not done on the premises. I'm talking about the wellness policy
Starting point is 00:54:14 that WWE has that's stricter than, actually, it's probably stricter than the NFL. Wow. And I'm sure Tony has the same thing at AEW.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Mm-hmm. They can't afford to have someone, you know, overdose and die. Yeah, stuff like that. Especially kids watching. Mm-hmm. They can't afford to have someone, you know. Overdose and die. Yeah, stuff like that. Especially kids watching.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Absolutely. Wow. Well, Ric Flair, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you so much. I can't wait
Starting point is 00:54:33 until we get a Ric Flair movie, man. I know. Guess what? It's coming down. Based off your book, To Be A Man? No,

Call out her 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? Right. Now,
Starting point is 00:55:15 allegedly, Sexy Red announced on social media that she was pregnant. Now, she posted a picture of her and SZA. She's holding her stomach and she says, team boy or team girl at SZAor so people are assuming that she's pregnant so if she is congratulations to sexy red no congratulations to sexy right is it true or y'all just making up stuff how y'all know that girl wasn't bloated i know her period wasn't on and she was bloated she just had a nice meal? Because she said team boy
Starting point is 00:55:45 or team girl. She probably playing with folks. Hey, you want to see the picture? You look for yourself. Hey, look, look, look. Look. God bless her. She is.
Starting point is 00:55:52 All right. Now, Dobby, though, we got a salute to him. He just announced that him and his wife had twins. So congratulations to him. We have audio of him talking about it.
Starting point is 00:56:01 A lot of people, those things happen to, you would never want to believe in God ever in your life. I'm telling you. You know what I'm saying? But to still have faith, to still be able to do what I love, having a great team around me, and just focus it.
Starting point is 00:56:15 You know what I'm saying? It's very special, man. Yeah, now we're almost at the finish line. You know what I'm saying? It's a story that I want people to see and watch. Just going through that tragedy with your son and then having twins such a blessing in life man now when me and my wife found out we were shaking like yeah and it was in the same month my son passed last year october my wife gave birth this year october so oh that's amazing man that is
Starting point is 00:56:41 that brother healing energy absolutely he lost he lost his three-year-old son like was it last year right uh yeah last year right after his third birthday if you don't remember he accidentally drowned in their pool last year so but he just had twins so congratulations to davido and his wife absolutely now we gotta salute floyd mayweather shout to uh floyd now floyd sent his private jet over to Israel with five thousand pounds of supplies to help everything out there, whatever people needed. So it was stuff for soldiers. It was food. It was water. It was just things for the civilians out there that didn't have any of that. So we got a salute to Floyd Mayweather for that. A good deed is a good deed. Now, Floyd Mayweather said in a statement i stand with israel against the hamas terrorists hamas does not represent the people of palestine but are a
Starting point is 00:57:29 terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives and i stand for all humans so again salute to floyd mayweather we got some we're gonna have some conversations about uh that situation this week yeah we got we got a couple folks coming up yeah uh and lastly uh you know vlad posted about you know khaled and drake not talking about what's going on over there we have audio when when vlad was actually up here drake is the most famous jewish person on earth essentially and drake who has a jewish mother you know which by jewish law makes him jewish but not only that his parents got divorced when he was five years old and he grew up with his Jewish mother and her Jewish relatives in Forest Hills, which is a Jewish community in Toronto. He had a bar mitzvah.
Starting point is 00:58:10 And then when this happens, he doesn't say anything because I think that he doesn't want to potentially affect his record sales. But why does he have to say anything? Like, why does him or Khaled have to say anything publicly? They don't have to say anything. But I'm saying as representatives of these communities their voices are powerful and they should say something i can't say he don't feel anything about the situation because he didn't but he's not but he's not speaking about it but he's literally writing paragraphs about joe bunn because his feelings were hurt over album criticisms
Starting point is 00:58:38 well drake's dad uh dennis graham spoke to tmz recently and talked about his son in the criticism drake's obviously jewish does this everything going on in the world hit really close to home Dennis Graham spoke to TMZ recently and talked about his son and the criticism. Celebrities don't really know how to use their platform right now because it seems like they'll get criticized. Yeah, if you say something about this one, you're going to get criticized. Right. And if you say something about someone else, you're going to get criticized. So sometimes you think better to keep your mouth shut? Yeah, so just stay out of it. Right. You know, especially if you're somebody that's well-known.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah. But be a celebrity and say something favoring one against the other, and it's going to come back on you. The key to what Vlad said is they don't have to say anything. Okay? All right? I highly agree with his father. I said it on Friday, and I will say it again. Who cares what Drake and Khaled have to say At a time like this
Starting point is 00:59:45 Drake says something and then what And then what Like if a statement from Drake or Khaled can stop a conflict That's been going on for 75 years By all means release a statement But it's not So what's the point To make folks feel good
Starting point is 00:59:57 Absolutely right Alright well that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Four after the hour, man, and it hurts me to do this,
Starting point is 01:00:10 but I need Desmond Howard to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. I don't even know if this is Desmond's fault. I feel like this is the writers of college game day on ESPN's fault, but all of them need to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with all of them on this fine Monday morning. All right, we'll get to that next.
Starting point is 01:00:25 It's the breakfast club. Monday morning. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Tee-haw, bitch. Tee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 01:00:38 I'm a big boy. I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne Tha God gonna have some funny shit. Say all this now. I'm glad to say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey.
Starting point is 01:00:48 That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right here. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean. Oh my God, man.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Donkey of the day for Monday, October 16th goes to a man that I highly respect. I mean, it actually pains me to have to do this donkey of the day because I truly respect this brother. Loved him since he played at the University of Michigan. If he was born in the 1970s like I was, and you remember when he ran back a 93-yard punt return for a touchdown against Ohio State, and then he struck the now legendary Heisman pose, yes, I'm talking about the great Desmond Howard. Drop on the clues bombs for Desmond Howard. I really love that brother, man love his wife Rebecca we worked together on the finding Tamika project that is the project about uh Rebecca's niece Tamika Houston who went missing in the early 2000s in Spartanburg South Carolina I'm telling you all this to let
Starting point is 01:01:36 you know how much I respect Desmond Howard okay I love and respect Desmond Howard more than anyone on college game day clearly does okay because you know Desmond works for ESPN college game day. I'm sure you see him every Saturday and this weekend. They were in Seattle for the Oregon versus Washington game, which featured two of the best quarterbacks in the country, Bo Nix and Michael Phoenix Jr. Now, Michael Phoenix Jr. plays for the Washington Huskies. And since the Huskies were the home team,
Starting point is 01:02:03 Michael Phoenix Jr. got a special song written for him in his honor, performed by Desmond Howard. Can we hear this song, please? Every time he takes the field, he's going to bring that big Penix energy. He's going to bring that big Penix energy. He's going to bring that big Penix energy.
Starting point is 01:02:22 That's right, Harry. Let's go, baby. I've been pronouncing his name right. No, I think you got it right. That's the game. Love that, baby. Nah, that ain't it, y'all. Okay, now I watch College Game Day.
Starting point is 01:02:41 I don't know when they started making Desmond Howard break out in the song. Okay, but for this occasion, College Game Day decided to have Desmond Howard do a custom song made, okay, just for Michael Phoenix Jr. Can I hear just the chant one more time, please, please? Big Phoenix Energy! I don't know who wrote that for Desmond Howard. But Desmond needs to go on strike against those writers. Okay, Desmond, I will organize a strike for you. You got to walk out just to prove a point. Who's on the college game day team, bro?
Starting point is 01:03:10 Somebody has to have the wherewithal to simply say no. That's not a good idea. You have to know how that is going to come across when you start chanting Big Phoenix Energy on national TV. I don't follow the Washington Huskies, so I had no idea who Michael Phoenix Jr. was. So I'm sitting there wondering, why is Desmond Howard on TV chanting about someone's big penis energy? All right. First of all, kids are watching. Second of all, there's two things that may have happened here. You either have older people in the writer's room who are trying to sound cool and relate to the youngins that go to the college,
Starting point is 01:03:41 who are out there surrounding the college game day broadcast booth or you either have younger people in the writer's room telling desmond this is how you relate to the younger audience and i'm here to tell you that in either one of those scenarios you're both wrong desmond howard is desmond howard desmond don't need any gimmicks all right desmond don't need any songs he's a super bowl champion heisman trophy winner he holds the nfl single season record for punt return yardage. He was named the MVP of the damn Super Bowl, okay? All you got to do is give him a microphone and let him do what he does best, and that's talk football.
Starting point is 01:04:13 If y'all was going to jump out the window and have him chant Big Phoenix Energy. Big Phoenix Energy! You might as well have showed love to other members of the team like that. He's Dixon, okay? He's going to bring that Big Dixon energy. Nah, right? The Washington Huskies also got someone on their team named Dylan Johnson. We're going to bring that Big Johnson energy.
Starting point is 01:04:37 That don't sound right either, huh? Well, neither does Big Phoenix energy. Big Phoenix energy! I don't even think I could say suck my penis on the radio no i couldn't no you sure i don't think i could say get off my penis could i say you have penis envy could i say tickle my penis people at radio stations all over the country are confused right now they don't know whether to dump me or not because what matters more, the word or the context?
Starting point is 01:05:07 In this case, I probably would say both. When the word is that close to the forbidden word and you're using it in this context, nothing good can happen. What do coaches say to him? Imagine a coach saying, Phoenix, you came hard. Phoenix, I love seeing you come in the locker room. It excites me. Phoenix, the way you found that hole in the zone coverage.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Hey, yo. Hey, yo. Listen, man, once again, I don't know what's worse, okay? The word or the context. All I know is, in this case, you are guaranteed to be donkey of the day if you use it the way Desmond Howard used it or the way they wrote it
Starting point is 01:05:49 for him to be used. Desmond, please give Desmond Howard the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey
Starting point is 01:06:04 of the day Yeehaw Yeehaw Well, how did Phoenix play over the weekend? I don't know. I think Phoenix might have put up some numbers. How did he do? What did he do, Mac? Did Phoenix put up any numbers? I don't know. Let me see. Let put up some numbers. How did he do? What did he do, Mac?
Starting point is 01:06:25 Did Phoenix put up any numbers? I don't know. Let me see. Let me look and see what Phoenix has for us. That's a good question. Big Phoenix energy. Hold on. Let me see if he actually did bring that big Phoenix energy.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Let's see. Said he's nice with the ball. I heard. I don't know. What were the stats for Saturday? Who did they play? Phoenix for long. I don't know what What were the stats for Saturday? Who did they play? Phoenix for long. I don't know what his numbers were on Saturday.
Starting point is 01:06:49 I got to look that up. Somebody look that up for me. What's Phoenix's number on his jersey? What was Saturday, the 14th? Oh, he had 32, no, 37 attempts, 22 completions, 302 yards. Oh, my God. Four touchdowns and an interception. Oh, yeah, he played great.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Oh, he did good. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. He definitely, he bought the big Phoenix. Oh my God. Four touchdowns in the interception. Oh yeah, he played great. Oh, he did good. Oh yeah. He definitely bought the big Phoenix. He definitely did. He balled out. Absolutely. He balled out. He 100% did. Alright, well salute to Phoenix. And they won. 36-33. Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey today. BET, we'll see y'all tomorrow. Peace.
Starting point is 01:07:19 BET. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. 800- 585-1051. Now, Shannon Sharp and Ocho Cinco was having this conversation about the women in Ocho Cinco's life and being able to poop and fart
Starting point is 01:07:34 around them. See, like, going to the bathroom in front of a woman, I don't do that. What? No, hell no. No, that's the number one. Listen, let me tell you what my grandma told me. Baby, the minute she can use the bathroom and leave the door open,
Starting point is 01:07:49 that's the one. She can't do that. That ain't gonna work for me. This one here, I knew she was the one. When she fought in the front of me, I was like, oh yeah. Oh yeah. I broke up with a girl for doing that. Man, stop playing.
Starting point is 01:08:05 You left a girl for that? I swear for God and two white men, I did. I swear for God and two white men, I did. No. Oh, Joe, we're in the bathroom right here. Five steps. You mean to tell me you got? No, no, I don't do that.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I can't do that. You can't do that to a person. She got to get up and go out the room. Girl, don't do that. That's disrespectful man Stop playing Ain't enough football to talk about man Shannon
Starting point is 01:08:31 Uncle Shea Ain't enough football to talk about A lot to talk about Alright let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 Ladies how long did it take for you to get comfortable farting in front of your man? There should never be a reason to be farting in front
Starting point is 01:08:50 of no goddamn body. Period. First of all, I don't fart in my clothes. And I done told y'all that when a man farts in front of another man, that is just a primal way of flirting. I don't see any reason for you to be farting in front of nobody. Farting is, like, that's some stuff you're supposed to keep to yourself. Yeah, sometimes you just can't, though. Sometimes you got the bubble guts in a place, in the car, and you might not hit the, but
Starting point is 01:09:09 you might hit the little silent sneaker. That's true. That's not true. We all got control of our balance. You never hit the silent sneaker sometimes? You just got to let it go because your stomach's bubbling? I don't fart in my clothes. That's a lie.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I ain't got to tell you the truth. 800-585-1051. How long did it take you to get comfortable farting in front of your man? And ladies, are you comfortable farting or even using the bathroom in front of your man? Let's discuss. For what? 800-585-1051. Why do you got to do any of this in front of anybody?
Starting point is 01:09:33 Even little kids, when they got to poop at a certain age, they go walk off. They go start walking off and hiding in certain places to handle their business. So why are you doing it in front of people? Let's discuss. If little kids got the wherewithal to do that, why are you doing it in front of people? It's discuss. If little kids got the way with all to do that, why are you doing it in front of people? It's natural. It's natural to poop

Starting point is 01:11:52 your wife a long time? Yeah, we don't do that. Like, because, you know, we got we got koof about ourselves. Like, what reason do I have to fart or poop in front of somebody? You ever walked into the bathroom where your wife was in the bathroom? Yeah, but she got the door closed in the bathroom. Like, you walk in the bathroom, then she's in the bathroom where your wife was in the bathroom yeah but she got the door closed in the bathroom like you walk in the bathroom then she's in the part where the toilet is and the door's closed like and and back in the day when we lived in
Starting point is 01:12:12 like you know one bedroom apartments or two bedroom apartments where you know there there was no door to the bathroom like you were just walking the bathroom i wouldn't go in there when i knew she was in there pooping like everything is not meant to be shared and i don't want you leaving the door open when you pooping why would you do that what's the point to stink up everything like i don't fart in my clothes so i damn sure i don't fart in front of people i don't see the point even little kids when little kids have to poop i got you know you you got six kids i got four i got two year old at the house now she's at that age when she got to do her business she'll creep off you know i'm saying michael creep off in the pantry somewhere i'll go hide behind the curtain somewhere in the

But listen to what you just said. What? What part of it? You literally just said your wife hates it. She does. But yet you still do it.
Starting point is 01:13:11 You don't have no respect. When I got gas. Why would you do something that you know she hates? When I got gas, I got gas. But why would you do something that you know she hates? Because when I got gas, I got to let it go. Let it go. Your boonkey too loose.

You need to learn how to freaking control your bowels. It is what it is. No, it's not is what it is. And as far as me, boy, I'm walking in the bathroom when she's in there. You know what I mean? And she probably don't like that either. She don't?
Starting point is 01:13:34 She don't like that either, do she? That's two things you done told us that your wife don't like about you. She don't like when you fart in front of her. And she don't like when you walk in the bathroom. But yet you still do it. Why? If I got gas, I got gas. No, but why are you doing things that she don't like when you fart in front of her, and she don't like when you walk in the bathroom, but yet you still do it. Why? If I got gas, I got gas. No, but why are you doing things that she don't like?

Starting point is 01:20:34 said the headline is what marriage experts think about couples who fart in front of each other and it says that um you know couples passing a therapist named kurt smith who specializes in counseling men said that while couples passing gas in named kurt smith who specializes in counseling men said that while couples passing gas in front of each other can be a sign of acceptance and maturity in a relationship it can also be a selfish or inconsiderate act in some cases especially if your partner is if your partner is constantly farting and you tell him or her that it's making you uncomfortable or even sick to your stomach if your partner doesn't at least try to respect your wishes, that may be a bad sign.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Rashawn. Hi, Leonard. Hello, who's this? This is Amanda. Hey, Amanda. Good morning. Talk to us, Amanda. You farting in front of your man?
Starting point is 01:21:14 I don't have a man. Oh. But when I had a husband, he used to think it was f***ing disgusting, but he would laugh all the time. He did it. He laughed until he divorced your ass. He got tired of you. He got tired of him.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You got tired of him and you're flinching. No, I divorced him. You said what? I divorced him. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. You didn't like him farting on you? No, I didn't fart on him. He just didn't like me farting around him. Nobody likes that.
Starting point is 01:21:39 It was cool when a guy would do it. It's all right when men do it, but when women do it, we're disgusting. We all have gas that we have to release. It's cool when they do it, when it's a problem, and I do it. It's all right when men do it, but when women do it, we're disgusting. We all have gas that we have to release. It's cool when they do it when it's proper, and I do it. But I don't do it. I don't do that in front of people. I'm not farting in front.
Starting point is 01:21:52 I don't fart in front of nobody because I don't fart in my clothes, number one. But I damn sure wouldn't fart in front of my wife. Like, why would I do that? And by the way, if one slips out by accident, you know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Or you think it's going to be silent and it stinks. I understand that. You just say, excuse me, and keep it moving. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Or you think it's going to be silent and it stinks? I understand that. You just say excuse me and keep it moving.
Starting point is 01:22:07 You know what I mean? But just to let him rip all in front of your partner? You can always do what my ex-husband does. He has a little trick. He sprays his ass with cologne before he farts, so it smells like cologne. You broke? What? For God's sake.
Starting point is 01:22:21 I have our son sitting right here. He can vouch for it. He was spraying cologne in his butthole? She said, how can your son vouch for you? He said, when he fart, it'll smell like cologne. So when did you find out about his boyfriend? What? Huh?
Starting point is 01:22:34 He tried to smell his ass after he farted. When did you find out about his boyfriend? I don't need a boyfriend. Oh, okay, okay. But thank you for calling. I'm focusing on my children. No, I said what your husband's boyfriend. Did your husband have a boyfriend? Oh, okay, okay. But thank you for calling. I'm focusing on my children. Okay. No, I said what your husband's boyfriend.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Did your husband have a boyfriend? Is that why you divorced him? Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay. He was too controlling. Got you. All right, well, thank you for calling. Yeah, if you spray cologne in your butthole,
Starting point is 01:22:58 that is a sign of being a controlling person because you're trying to control things that are out of your control. You know what I mean? Farts are supposed to stink. All right? Because if there was actual butthole cologne, somebody would have made that a long time ago. That's crazy when you think about it, though. It's so much cologne and fragrances for other parts of your body, but ain't no cologne for your butthole.
Starting point is 01:23:17 Or is it? Let me see. Let me Google butthole cologne. I know guys out there thinking right now, like, I wonder if that works. If I spray a little cologne and I pass gas will that come out smelling like whatever oh they have a they have a that what ufo perfumes has a cologne called anal it says anal is a serious scent it's very strong with extra song sillage and longevity the wild harvested plumeria from india and substantially harvested arbor wood from vietnam give descent an utterly decadent base that twists twist around notes of latex and musk
Starting point is 01:23:52 yeah i don't want my butthole smelling like latex and musk okay all right well what's the moral of the story moral of the story don't be farting around people that's disrespectful man ain't gonna need to be farting around nobody and ain't gonna need to be pooping around nobody it is all the conversations can wait i'm in the bathroom pooping you can wait till i get out like cut it out stop it y'all all right well let's get to the rumors through my head sit through my room i had to call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty all right i'm gossiping this is the rumor report i mean i guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills Right. I just want to add this shout to our producers, a.k.a. in the fart committee.
Starting point is 01:24:27 They just gave me this paperwork and it says, a teenage girl died after holding in farts during a school dance. She was 16 years old. Campbell died while attending a school dance and the county coroner is claiming she was holding in a bad case of, I guess, having to move her bowels.
Starting point is 01:24:44 I'm sure it was more than that. A Brazilian influencer ends up in a bad case of, I guess, having to move her bowels. I'm sure it was more than that. A Brazilian influencer ends up in a wheelchair from holding in her farts. And lastly, a 19-year-old had to be hospitalized after her refusal to fart around her boyfriend for two years allegedly caused her appendix to burst. And also, too, nobody's telling you to hold in your farts. We're telling you to walk away. Go to the bathroom. Same way when you got to pee or you got to doo-doo, you go to the bathroom. Walk off to the side and let one rip.
