You still can. All right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news is next. Teslin Figueroa will be joining us. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Our co-hosts Carlos Miller and Nav Green are here. And let's get into some front page news. Good morning, Teslin. Good morning, DJ Envy, Carlos and Nav and Charlamagne.

Why are you laughing? I was laughing because it sounded like you were about to say my last name. I had a little pause. No, no, no. I was saying good morning, Tes. Let's get right into it. Donald Trump indicted by a grand jury. What that mean?

It's fake news. Yes. It's fake news. What? Is it fake news? It's fake news. Donald Trump is represented by some of the best people. He has the best people, right?

Am I right? He gets the best lawyers. They know the best law. They go to the best court cases. Well, they're going to earn their money now. They're definitely going to earn their money now. They're definitely going to earn their money now. We're going to see if he is truly Teflon Don. But Donald Trump has become the first former president in U.S. history to be indicted by a federal grand jury following an investigation of the alleged mishandling of top secret documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Now, the story is continuing to develop, but this is what we know so far. He is facing seven counts, including willful retention of information related to national defense, at least one charge of false statements and one charge related to obstruction of justice. Now, this is the second indictment for the former president. This makes a total of four investigations going on all at the same time. Let's listen to some of his four minute response that he posted yesterday on Truth Social. We'll talk about it on the other side. Very sadly, we're a nation in decline.

And yet they go after a popular president, a president that got more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far. And did much better the second time in the election than the first. And they go after him on a boxers hoax. Just like the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. And all of the others. It's been going on for seven years. They can't stop. What was in the classified documents, Ted?

It's classified. Yes, it definitely was classified. And right now, they said they don't know much of what was in it but uh here is what we know so far they said it was empty folders marked return to staff uh secretary slash military aid an executive grant of clemency regarding the roger stone of the j the roger stone case a document titled uh president of france whatever that means a binder of folders and one item labeled potential presidential record. And just for those out there, because I know they folks love making this is making this an issue as well about Joe Biden and his classified documents.

And just want everybody to know that, yes, there is still they tried for around trump tried for a year to keep the documents from uh you know returning the documents and so that's the major difference but they are it's still an easy it's still an easy spin for trump though right because trump can say yo president biden took classified documents this person took classified documents i think there was something charlemagne's crib like this everybody Everybody's going to say y'all need to see what President Biden had to do. We don't know. We don't know what he had. Everybody had classified documents. Yeah. So it's hard. They are. They're investigating President Biden. But we'll see, you know, what that investigation, you know, turns out to be.

But just as a point. So remember, these are a total of four. So now we have this case going on. Still, the New York case going on with the hush money. And then Georgia, we look to see something happening with that. That's coming. Yeah, that's coming. I didn't think they was going to give them none. But now that I see it, they did.

Once I saw the feds do it, I said, OK, everybody going to do it. You're going to beat all the Georgia. Georgia's not playing. They got everybody. Yeah. Look, YFN, Lucia, the whole. Everybody is going to beat all them Georgia's that are going in Georgia. Georgia's not playing. They got everybody in jail. Doug, YFN, Lucha, everybody going to jail in Georgia. Yeah, they're not playing. We look to hear something on the Georgia case, possibly in June.

There's no exact date. And then, you know, there's another civil lawsuit going on as well in New York. But this is related to lenders and insurance, some insurance issues with his assets. So we'll see how this turns out. But he's going to continue to campaign while fighting all of these charges. This is all because he can't sit his ass down. That's why sometimes

when somebody tell you to sit your ass down, sit your ass down. Because if he was not running for president, they would not be bothering him. I think he loves it though. I think for his core, this actually helps him for his core i think his core loves him gonna support him regardless because everybody's saying like look how much they're against him absolutely it's his core enough to win the elections they all fit the state it was last time no it wasn't just his core you know he had some of those people that'd be those those center those center right

voters but then there's a lot of people that look at joe biden and say is he fit to run for president the man just fell man he's had all these problems absolutely there's a lot of people that you don't know feel like he's fit he need different shoes like i know he's wearing suits he needs an orthopedic shoe and just as another reminder uh because i always talk about people having backgrounds to run for office and I just want to remind people that for president, he still can run for office. He can even be convicted and still run. You only need to be a citizen, 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. And so, again, he can still run.

And even if he can still be elected, even if he is convicted on any of these charges. And that's one thing I'd like to point out. Shout out to everybody on Twitter yesterday. I did like a four-hour Twitter space, and a lot of people tell me they want to run for office, but they have a background, people that want to run on the city and the state level. And I think that's something that should change

because of the highest office of the land. It doesn't matter if you've been charged, and certainly we should look at how people have an opportunity to serve after they've changed their life as well. You can be a convicted felon and be a president. Yes, but can't even get a job in the mall. That's crazy. Or get an apartment or

many other things. You can work for the United States of America where you gotta play yourself. Alright, well that is front page news. Tess, we'll see you in a little bit. Absolutely. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, call us up right now.

then. Hello, who's this? This is Darren. Hey Darren, get it off your chest Darren. Hey man, I gotta get this off my chest. For the last two years, I've been listening to Charlamagne and you let me you, but Charlamagne seems like he's pro

Trump, but he's acting like he's not on the radio. Wow, you hear that? He's pro-Trump because you always say, what Biden going to do? What Biden ain't do? But when Trump was president, what did he do for black people? Not a damn thing. Okay, then. But you keep saying, what did Biden do?

They figured you out. What is Biden? He ain't fit to be president. He's not. Biden's in office, though, my brother. You got to critique the person in charge. Yeah, if you have a problem with somebody, you got to be able to say it. When you say it, they'll be like, oh, you're against Joe Biden.

Why can't we critique the people in charge? And how come if we critique the people in charge, you're either pro-one or against one? I don't understand that logic, my brother. But when Trump was president, Trump didn't do nothing for black people. Y'all don't ever say that. Y'all always say, well, Biden ain't doing it. And y'all know Biden tries to do it, but the Republicans stop it every time.

Trump never said he was going to do something for black people. Do you know that there's nobody who's gotten donkey of the day more in the history of donkey of the day than Donald Trump? You know Donald Trump got his own donkey of the day intro? Oh, he quiet now. Why you let him get quiet? He's on to you. Get it off your chest.

I'm happy for her. It's not my OG. It's not your OG? It's not an OG. He's an actor and comedian OG. That is an old white man. Okay. He's not an OG.

I refuse to call an old white man OG. That's racism. That's racism. Well, he's dating an old white man. We'll tell you who it is when we come back. Allegedly, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. What's happening? All right, let's get to the rumors. We got to talk police. Rumor has it. Rumor.

Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. 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. We got our co-hosts, Nav Green and Carlos Miller from the 85 South showing here.

Drop on the clues bombs for the 85. Mm-hmm. No. Well, allegedly, people have been seeing Bill Murray, comedian, actor, and Khalees together a lot. Now, Khalees is 43 years old and Bill Murray, comedian, actor, and Khalees together a lot. Now, Khalees is 43 years old, and Bill Murray is 72. Ew. He's been popping.

That's gross. That's nasty. That's just disgusting. That's nasty. He's been popping up at her shows. He was spotted watching Khalees from the side stage during her show out in London. They even posed for a picture together backstage. People are saying they look like they are a couple and allegedly they are dating. Why y'all think that's nasty?

Man, that milkshake. That's an old milkshake. I need Nas to drop a diss record on him. Get one of them Ether 2's. She don't even know nothing about no Bill Murray. Bill Murray, can't hear a legend.

Khalees is what? Khalees got to be 43 and he's 72. I'm sorry. I just don't have the right words to use for this. This is very disturbing to me and it's weird.

But how do we know they even dating? How do we know they just wasn't, you know, pictured together? She could be his caretaker. He's 72.

That's very true. I doubt he's doing a lot of popping up. You get what I mean? I hope he is. Why? Because I want to be popping up at 72.

They keep lighting your sandalwood and follow Santo, man. Whatever. I hope he don't put her in his wheel so she can get the Holy State.

Leave her everything. That'll be the mulligan right there. We back at him. Where they was at again? In London. She was performing out there in London.

I'm not going to believe it until I see them walking around Charleston, South Carolina. I don't think it's a date because when you in London and you an American and pretty much any American you see, y'all going to be it until I see them walking around Charleston, South Carolina. I don't think it's a date because when you're in London and you're an American and pretty much any American you see,

y'all going to be like partners. Yeah. What you doing over there? This is a real rumor right here. I got a little show. If this still going on when they get back to America, you might want to follow up on that.

And that's something women experience. Women stand next to any man and all of a sudden, oh, they dating. You know what I mean? But I agree with Lothar. Until they come back to America, I got to see them walking around

Charleston, South Carolina. This only one time I think so it was twice it was like two shows Bill spends a lot of time in Charleston, South Carolina he actually

but Bill he used to spend a lot of time around black people too I remember he had a run where he was just every time you look up Bill was with somebody

like what Bill Murray and Spike Lee got to arguing last night it's just a lot of crazy stuff like that well good we need you to be around

some more black people Bill come to the grand opening of the International African American Museum at Charleston, South Carolina. White people, don't wait until you turn 72 to start liking black folks, either. Jesus. Justin Bieber, he put his time in early. That's true.

Yeah. That's very true. They wait until they see a good movie. Right. Now we got to talk BET Awards. BET Awards is going to take place Sunday, June 25th in Los Angeles Now Drake has 7 BET Award nominations

Gorilla has 6 They gotta stop doing stuff like that in LA What you mean? Like awards and stuff like that that involve a lot of rappers It's very dangerous Oh they get robbed? No the spectators are the people who get robbed I just don't think LA is a good place to be doing stuff like this.

Well, let me go through some of the categories and let me know what you guys think. Album of the Year. Glorilla. Anyways, Life's Great. Chris Brown for Breezy. God Did Callit. Her Lost, Drake 21 Savage. Kendrick Lamar with The Big Steppers.

Can they just let all of them win? That's what I think, too I think everybody should I mean, I just let all of them win? That's what I think too. I think everybody should. I mean, I'm not like one of them participation trophy type people, but everybody you named on that list deserves

to walk on some kind of recognition. It's the year of the woman this year in hip hop. Right. So you're not going to pick one? You're just saying everybody. Who's on that list again now?

Cardi B, Koi Larray, Glorilla, Ice Spice, Lotto, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj. But this year, I'm going toay, Glorilla, Ice Spice, Lotto, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj. I said Glorilla.

For decades, American courts have just been believing that the drug-stiffing dogs were impartial of a testimony, but they really just previously had to go by a testimony from the dog handler, and they said that that

was usually enough, but now a new federal lawsuit in texas shows cameras can potentially undermine the canine legitimacy a new filed a federal lawsuit in texas shows that cameras were able to catch this one particular incident that happened in houston now alex shot was accused has accused bear county sheriff's department of pulling him over on the interstate under false pretenses when he refused to give them permission to search his pickup truck, he gave the, the K-9 officer gave the dog an alert to scent for drugs. Now, historically this claim would have been impossible

to prove, but in this case, a shot requested to see the body cam and he was able to show that the officer did give him, you know, give the dog a gesture to smell for drugs. Now, no drugs were found in this case. And so they found, they said, well, you know, since we didn't find any drugs, we'll pay for damage to smell for drugs. Now, no drugs were found in this case. And so they found, they said, well, you know, since we didn't find any drugs, we'll pay for damage to the truck from the dog, you know, jumping up on the car and, you know, scratching it. And

he said, no, that's not going to be enough. I'm going to go ahead and file a lawsuit. So now that more body cams are being sent out all over the country, they're saying now that judges can look at this and hold those officers accountable. Yeah, police dogs racist as hell anyway. Yes, they are. They should be unconstitutional. So what are they going to do to the dogs after the dogs do something? The dogs got to face discipline.

They go to the pound. They go to the pound. No, they get chained up behind the police station. They're going to be on the chain. Yeah. But see, I don't think that's fair because it's the officer that's doing it. So it feels like they're going to give the blame to the dog and not the officer. How light-skinned are you to take up the dog?

The officer should be in charge for it. Yes, definitely to the officer for giving the alert. But I thought this story was so interesting because, as you know, unless it's illegal to do a legal search, unless there's probable cause. So if you're bringing the dog and you're doing a little gesture that the person in the car can't see, and then the dog does something to say, oh, now I've got to search your vehicle, imagine how many illegal search and seizures have happened as a result of you not being able to see that they're telling these dogs to sniff and to find stuff.

And the dog could be wrong with their smelling, and so they've been getting away with a lot of illegal activity with this. I've also seen some police dogs uh tear people up worse than cops if you've ever unfortunately been part of a drug bust and uh seen somebody try to hide from the police in the house and then the dogs find their ass in the closet the dog's a cat yeah absolutely i don't know if the cops be telling them to but the dogs be but once they once they send the dog once they send the dog in that house that dog has that's the dog's job but it ain't supposed to attack yes it is yes it is. Yes, it is. I thought it was supposed to sniff for drugs. Hey, brother, you come on out? No, they're going to grab you.

I thought it was supposed to sniff for drugs. Even if you hiding, I thought it was supposed to sniff you out. The dog will start talking to you. Get your ass down. When it gets your ass down. Police brutality is taught by everybody on the police force, from the dogs to the lady who answered the 911

call. You ain't lying. They show the dogs the video. The dogs, they be licking. They can't wait. They be ready. That's how you think they know how to find them. Now, also, New York City is suing Kia and Hyundai. Yes, New York City this week filed a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai claiming that the automaker's vehicles are too easy to steal,

creating issues including a potential risk for death and injury to the public. Now, the lawsuit was filed with the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, and they alleged that they failed to keep up with other automakers by not adopting anti-theft immobilizer technology that makes sure vehicles cannot be started without keys. Now, according to the 39 page lawsuit filed on tuesday some models sold by hyundai and kia in the u.s came without those uh engine immobilizers which was a standard feature in the 1990s since the 1990s well they probably took those features out to make the cars a little cheaper but my problem is why don't they sue youtube because

youtube is where these kids are actually going on and finding out how to do it somebody figured it out and they put this video on YouTube, and that's where they get this information, or TikTok. That's where they get the information from. We used to be a proper country. What do you mean? People used to steal nice cars. Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Cadillacs.

You mean to tell me they're stealing our Hondas and our kids? Hondas. Not even a Honda. A Hyundai. Man. A Sonata. It's just's just not and you're right uh you're right with that uh dj emmy there is a video i'm glad you brought that up because that was something i was gonna bring up as well on tiktok uh that is showing people how to steal uh the cars with a usb cord and a screwdriver uh that is actually under kia challenge not that i'm telling people to go

figure out how to steal it but but that is a real issue. Now, I do want to say this. Each one to each one, man. You're stupid. Yeah. I do want to say this because people may wonder how they hold in New York accountable. And so you're absolutely right. They're saying that because they decided to reduce the costs and to boost profits, that is causing an epidemic of theft.

So they're citing in this court case negligence, public nuisance, and the city claims that car thefts impede public safety, it strains the police department's resources, and negatively impacts other emergency responses. So that's what they're citing in this lawsuit. This is disrespectful to the car thieves because maybe the people stealing the cars

are just great at what they do. You should give the car thieves some flowers. Y'all giving YouTube credit and saying the car is too easy to steal. What about the actual thieves? Yeah, but they're showing kids how to do it on YouTube. Each one teach one. But the problem is this is not that.

Talk about the OGs not sharing information with the youth. You stupid. It's not that they're stealing kids and Hyundais. It's they're stealing these cars and they're doing bad things with them. So I steal a kid Hyundai. Smoking with cigarettes. No, but then I'm going to rob a bank and it's a stolen kid. Why would you steal a car in New York?

They ain't even know where to park. They ain't even know where to park. They ain't know where to go. It's traffic. You stealing a car to be stuck in traffic. But they stealing these cars, and then they'll go stick up somebody outside a club. Or they'll go, and they'll rob a store, or a jewelry store, or rob a bank. Or they'll rob the person in the Cadillac or BMW with this stolen key, because there's no way to get back to it. Yeah, that's exactly why people do this.

You got to steal a car before you go commit bigger crimes because you need a getaway car. It only makes sense. There's no getaway in New York, though.

You better off robbing a bank. I'm not encouraging y'all to do that, but you better off robbing a bank and trying to escape on foot. You better off

robbing a bank. How about doing that here? There's no high-speed chase. Remember when Megan Markle was here lying about how she was in a high-speed car chase? There's no such thing

as in New York City. Did you just call Meghan Markle a liar? He did. Wow, you guys low now, man. On a Friday. On a Friday. Yes. All right.

alright and light your Pali Santos man what happened light your Pali Santos why Janelle Monáe about to come in here

I'll wait till she come then alright well Janelle Janelle Monáe will be joining us when we come back and we gonna talk when she got a new album it's called

Age of Pleasure and it's fantastic must be this age right here we'll get to it next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club therapy was it just taking a break was it friends was it meditating was it you know whatever it may be writing your book at the time what got you out of that anxiety and depression and some of those negative places that you said yeah having to go back to the root the root of trauma usually when you're triggered by something it's deeper you know and I feel like everybody should have free therapy like it should be free for everybody we should be paying therapists more we should be paying teachers more nurses we can go on and on and on but I think when it comes to mental health being able to understand why we're

sort of going through life feeling sick mentally or feeling um like we're in a loop. I just remember being in a loop a lot and making the same stories up in my mind about things. And I got an emotional support coach who is a friend and who who who also like does amazing work. And she said, we you're dealing with some abandonment, rejection issues. I want you to write down when you were little Janelle, the first time that somebody didn't show up for you, the first time you felt let down, like write all these things down. And I had to go back. And I think also, you know, being in the pandemic, a lot of things got canceled for me. So I had no choice but to sort of, you know, stay home and had a unique opportunity to go inward and to heal those things and have and do all the work, the dark stuff by myself, by myself.

You know, so I think it's a combination of that. And then friends, too. You know, I just remember being out with friends and so much of my life. I was always thinking about the future. I was like, what's next? You know, just like when you have when you're a entrepreneur, you know, I started out as an indie artist. So I always had to sort of be the leader. You know, I'm like, I can't afford to mess up, you know.

And when I would be out with friends, I wouldn't be present. And so I also had an opportunity to reconnect with my friends and and have them hold me accountable. Like, yo, we here. We here. We here. Like, stay here with us. We love you. Like, everything is going to be good. You can relax. And I felt safe there. I found a safe space. Let me ask you, because I just want to ask one thing about you said abandonment issues. Right. How did you feel or what made you feel that way? And the reason I is right i have six kids i have four daughters right oh one of my biggest fears is not to show up but something that i might think is small that might mean the world to them

you know because you know we are in the industry where we do travel we are on the road so you know i'm just what bothered you so much about abandonment was it something big like you know something not happening on christmas or was it something like i have my talent show and this person didn't come in and made me feel a way. So what was the abandonment issue? Well, I think a lot of it and I've spoken about this a lot. But so if you are watching right now and you know me, but my father was an addict so him being sort of inconsistent in my life and having to sort of navigate and if you've had family close to you or a parent and as an addict then you know what I'm talking about you know that our relationship a lot of times was like where I felt most abandoned and thank God like

he's clean he's sober now we're best friends he's written a book he's like amazing but I think that inconsistency uh and I didn't know that because I was like I have my mom I have all my aunties I have so much love around me but just those moments of just like you're showing you're not here right you're here now you're in prison you're not like okay all right really inconsistent and um that was like one of the the first things i think that when i started to write down things that that bothered that affected me more than i knew yeah you seem like you're in a happier place not just in a sad place but yeah just watching you now watching watching you perform, watching your videos, watching you around, you seem like you're in a place of happiness. Yeah, man, I am. I am. And sometimes, like I was saying, we're not always there, you know, because you have life, life, life, depending on where you are.

We're always going to be trying to problem solve and some things are great but at the same time everything's happening I say everything everywhere all at once like you guys have seen that movie and sometimes that that definitely has been where I've been and I know people um uh will feel me when I say that but uh I actively here I think one of the things that I got an opportunity to do during the during the pandemic was my friends on this party collective everyday people I don't know if y'all heard it yeah it started here in New York and they've been doing it for over a decade but they're international global yeah I saw them in Ghana over New Year exactly so you know those sort of part it's like the most beautiful brown and black people Yeah, I saw them in Ghana over New Year. in a safe space, dancing, free from feeling like police are going to come in and, you know,

shut us down or stop all the black joy that is happening, free from gun violence. It's just like, it's what you fight for. It's what you fight to protect. What I've always tried to fight to protect, that safe space for us. And so seeing that gave me so much joy. It gave me something to write about. It gave me a soundtrack, is what I like to call this album is a soundtrack to our lifestyle. Yeah.

So that has been a beautiful saving grace because when you have community that also is super helpful. That keeps you happy because it's like, oh, you get me. You know, a lot of times you feel like you're living in systems that were never designed for you they were never built for us to actually benefit or have the american dream right but when you're around your people and we are together it it was like reconnecting with like this is what it's about right this is this is what it's always been about and we have to we have to fight to preserve it all right we got more with janelle monet when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning good morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with janelle monet her

album is out today the age of pleasure now you also said on on the album especially in float that you said sometimes you feel like you're your own worst enemy why do you feel that way yeah i said i used to be my own enemy yeah because you know i think we live within this matrix right and even within this matrix is a matrix in our mind what we have based on our set of experiences based on our upbringing our programming um we tell ourselves stories and narratives and you know some things i i'm not proud about what I would tell myself so I was just super hard on myself for a very long time super perfectionist wanted things to be if it wasn't exactly how it was supposed to be in my mind it was trash I couldn't see the beauty

even in the flaws or the misdirections the the the improvisation of life i couldn't see that that keeps you in sort of a prison you know it's like what i think of me will determine my quality of life you know it's not what you think of me or what you think of me is what i think when did you get to the point where and maybe you you've always been there where it seems like you're so free with your sexuality and i mean we've seen you perform you know with I mean, we've seen you perform, you know, with your top off. We've seen you swimming between legs. We've seen you coming out the water. It just seems like you're so free and happy.

Where did you get to that point? It's the age of pleasure, baby. It's a movement. It's not just me. Like you, you feel people wanting to. And I just gave myself permission. You know, I just divested in certain systems and programming. And why not?

You know, why would I waste my earth experience scared to jump, scared to exercise my freedom? You know, why? What am I concerned about? And once you deal with that and you release your concerns and you give yourself permission, it's a different world. You never were nervous that people are going to be too judgmental or the label is going to feel this way or how my fans might look. Or if there's young people like you never felt that way to church people that follow you never felt. You know, when you're in church, for me, it was skirt to the to the floor yeah and then and then you see how they talk about other people oh look at her oh she fast oh she look look at her skirt and don't

show your cleavage don't show your breasts because people will not pay attention to your message these are things that i was programmed with like don't don't you're not if you show your skin or you you know show too much skin you could not be taken seriously as an artist and and and the slut shaming you know even in high school for girls who were having sex it was just like you know and i'm non-binary but growing up as girl, these things were always implanted in me. And then let's not even talk about the reverse side. Sorry. Now y'all got me talking.

Let's go. When I decide, you know, I love wearing suits. I love wearing tuxedos. I love it. I feel sexy. It's dope. I feel strong. Love.

I have my reason for it. I like it. It makes me feel good the amount of times i couldn't tell you that people would say why are you wearing that suit you know you got a nice body why you want to show you more of your skin just wear a dress be more feminine you know like take off that monopoly man suit monopoly man playing this peanut man No, people would say that. And I laugh, you know, ha ha ha. But I don't think it's funny at all. I don't have freedoms to

criticize anybody or respect them or don't respect them based off how they dress. And I always thought the suits would fly. I thought that's what made people love you because it was so different. It was not the norm. It was not what everybody else did. Yeah. norm it was not what everybody else did yeah and it was still fly but cool thank you i like skirts and dresses just like everybody else i wanted to show another way another way of being sexy that's it and it's not one way it's not the way and that's the whole point nobody should be should feel like uh like it's about bodily autonomy i guess that's the thing like whether you're clothed or you're not clothed right you should people should should respect you period and not treat you differently based on your appearance it's like if you're

sagging your pants and he has on a suit he shouldn't get the guy in the suit shouldn't get the job over you right police shouldn't stop you because they see you with a gold chain around your neck like we got to get to a point where you know we're respecting all types everybody can be their authentic selves and and feel safe that's what it's about i gotta say sagging his way i don't think so i used to think so because that's how I was programmed. Sagging is bringing down the black community. Pull your pants up.

I don't think that I just think it's whack. Why? Especially when you're a certain age, 40 something years old with your pants. I don't say your pants hanging off your ass. My pants, my pants are fine. It's expression. If I want to,

if I want to express myself, I want to express. I don't want to. No, like I just, I'm not, I'm not into, I've never been into respectability

politics and i think that there were people who tried to use my image and we talked about this on the show last time when i was here yeah they tried to use my image to defame denounce to talk down on other women who um were expressing themselves showing their skin like we all want autonomy i wanted i wanted autonomy to wear my suit for 10 years without y'all telling me i look like the peanut man and i did that and i ain't putting my up because did y'all ask d'angelo to put his up when he did untitled did y'all do y'all ask rick ross do like come on now i can name so many album covers and things like the double standards that we have to like let's not even get into how in some states i could go

to jail and if you go in a gym with your shirt off and i go in the gym my shirt off i could go to jail and you could just keep pumping iron right you know like we have to get to we got to get to that that's the thing we need to be talking about you know like when you i feel like when you did that that was a big everybody let me show you how much i don't give a yeah yeah and i and the other thing is as much as people are getting to understand me a little more you're seeing all of me i'm understanding people more not me the misogyny is jumping out in this country the double standards the cishet uh patriarchal conservative conservatives like yeah we gotta divest from that system it is holding us back it's the same thing that right now while we have bills in, let's talk about the trans community.

Let's talk about drag. Let's talk about the LGBTQ plus communities and how many laws right now are put in place simply saying that you could go to jail if you were dressed in drag. My suit, if I was somewhere and I was doing a drag, I could go to jail for wearing that suit. You know, like there's no protection for us. They're saying we can't even talk about being queer or being trans in school. We can't even talk about being black. Black history. Critical race theory is being erased.

There's an erasure that is happening. Happening. And all of this is connected. The same people that criticize me for being black, queer, pansexual, having bodily autonomy are the same people making these laws. It's all connected. And I think until we, again, divest from those systems and understand that the same oppressions that are trying to oppress me are also the ones that are coming from you. We're not. I don't think we will see the sort of liberation that we want.

All right, we got more with Janelle Monae when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Janelle Monae. Her album is out today, The Age of Pleasure. Charlamagne? You said something on the album I thought was dope. You said, I forgot what song it was but you said you no longer lead with ego and i wanted to ask you what do you think the difference

between ego and confidence is oh what song was that by the way that was uh uh eyes for two okay i've told y'all this since i came out you know being an android I'm ahead and I've been ahead and I've been trying to get it's like I'm I'm actually back having fun because I'm too far ahead yeah I think ego oh I just believe in balance and all things and I think that there's a unhealthy version of ego that like it doesn't allow you to have that vulnerability it doesn't allow you to really really connect on a vulnerable level that is powerful like if you're sharing your feelings and it blocks that it blocks you from really sharing your feelings and and saying hey i'm hurt or i need help or i or or i was wrong it stops us from apologizing it stops us from being held accountable

it blocks our growth you know if it's unhealthy I think being confident I mean it's balancing all things you can be confident over overly confident about being a beginner I always say this like don't be afraid to be a beginner i think that the conflict happens when you think you know more than you do and you're in fact a beginner and you're you sold yourself that dream that i know what i'm doing i got it together and in fact you don't you say beginners you meaning starting over or trying something new that you've never tried before like acting yeah yeah yeah like and not even just acting or something new that you've never tried before like acting yeah yeah yeah like and not even just acting or something like that but like um if you ain't studied you may not ace

the test you know what i'm saying like being confident without doing the work is not it like you can be confident though if i know i practiced i show i've shown i've i've done the work to get my performance together like i know i'm gonna go on this stage and I'm going to kill it like that. Like, that's a different level thing because you've done the work. But when you actually don't even have the experience and you're confident. You're cocky for no reason. I mean, sometimes it could work. You can pull the work.

So I don't know. I need it. You know what? I think I'm prematurely answering this question. This is a really good question. I'll think about it. I can't wait to hear the answer. Only have eyes for two is a very system.

I think destroying record. You know, people always say you should only have eyes for one. Ooh. Yeah. That's right. I love it. I want people to hear it.

Yeah. I can't wait. That's the Caribbean. That's the Caribbean joint. Does Caribbean sound a joint? Like it's the second to last. I feel like the island. It feels like the island.

Yeah. Yeah. I love it. It's so pretty pretty i remember when i was recording it and just wanting wanting people to like i imagine everybody like why whining to it and you meeting somebody that night at the party that's the that's the part of the party where two complete three complete strangers are just like super open i love the record i don't know if i can love it so much in front of my wife. Why?

I don't know. Why? Why can't you? I just want to see what she was going to say about it. That's all. Oh, did she listen to it? Not yet, because I got it copied out. I mean, can we get into these collaborations?

Absolutely. Dolce, who is just phenomenal. We have a song called Phenomenal together. I love her. Amore on The Rush. Nia Long, who has always been my crush. One of the reasons why I got confident, though, in just being like, I'm about to free the nipples. Because Nia Long told me I had pretty d***.

I showed her. That's the reason why? So that's it. That's it. What did that hit just now? That sounded amazing just now. That you had pretty d***. Damn.

What are you going to say? That's the confidence I needed. I was like, oh, that's it. That's it. She came to the house, and we were recording our song, The Rush, together. And I showed her some of the press photos. And she was like, oh, no, you need to go with that photo. That was when you were coming out the water.

Yeah. She was like, oh, mm-mm, that's it. You got some pretty shit. Go ahead. And that's all I needed. and i'm not even watching the interview and i want to rewind you back just saying that i mean i don't need any more affirmation and then grace jones who also is on the project came over this is who i was hanging out with when i was making the record i showed her stuff she was like go baby do it wow do it do it do it that's dope like that that is the level of of just after that's the affirmation that i need like she's been a uh a free ass you know like she she's done this you know in her own way um so she's been an inspiration for me and so i'm so happy she's on the project. CK, who's also like dope. His music is so good.

He's on the project with me. Shayoon Kuti, Fela Kuti's son in Egypt 80. They're on the project. Sister Nancy, yeah. She's on there. Like, obviously, you can't go anywhere without hearing Bomb Bomb. So she did some original stuff on there. That's dope.

Well, let's get into a joint off the album. What you want to hear, man? Ooh. We can do Lipstick Lover. Excuse me. All dope. Well, let's get into a joint off the album. What you want to hear, man? Ooh. We can do Lipstick Lover. Excuse me. All right. Well, we appreciate you for joining us.

Anytime you're in town, you know you can come on up here. Thank y'all. And yes, this is a safe space for you. So whenever you want to come, we love you and appreciate you. I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much. And happy Pride. That's right.

I must say. And let me ask you a question. How are you guys showing up as as allies for the lgbtq community if you listen to this show every day you would know why they they call us gusbands they call us gusbands gay husbands i love it i love this show every day that's good i love it gusman's that's really cute i love it they tell us we're pushing an agenda all the time that's what they tell us yes yes wow okay that's what i guess that's what it's called when you just embrace yeah everything it's so interesting

how people think like being gay or being trans or being non-binary being queer like it's on some new like we just made up that's the. You just got to be patient with people. They have to educate themselves. And there's so much information out here. Get educated. Like, this is nothing new. We have been here. We've been queer.

We've been, you know, we have been living outside of the cishet, patriarchalal conservative lifestyle and um i just want to just say happy pride and whatever our allies in those communities or not in those communities can do to stay with us um and be with us it's a lot of really really evil people trying to on a human to human level stop us from existing you know i feel like feel like what we describe to do here is create safe spaces for all black voices. And what I realize is regardless of who comes up here, like it can be, you know, Jason Lee, B. Scott, Flamin' Roll, Laverne, whoever it is, if they're from the LGBTQIA community, somebody's going to have criticism, you know? Yeah. And so that's just what it is if they're from the lgbtqia community somebody's going to have criticism you know yeah and so that's just what it is and i think that you you have to know that yeah you know everybody everybody has to know it and and i think you know i think but on a human to human level

and we're in when we're in conversations with people who hold those world views my hope is that because all those conversations lead to is okay well we don't have to care about trans people anymore we don't as we know a lot of our trans uh siblings are being murdered every single day just for existing and um i think the language whether we oppose it right then and there when somebody says something trans transphobic or homophobic or not, that language travels and it travels on a policy level. It travels on a like, Oh,

we don't need to care about them in the same way that white people would think, Oh, we didn't need to care about black people, you know, and why it's up to white people to talk to their people. So those of us who are more privileged in this country, if you're listening right now, we need you. We need you to just stand up, say something, speak out, support, vote, do the right thing.

All right. All right. You're privileged to combat prejudice. Absolutely. Well, it's Janelle Monae. I'm out right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Phenomenal vibe.

Thank you. And I'm not shaving my underarms. I've seen the comments. Oh. They will not be shaved. You will get into it is there a reason why you just i don't know i just felt like saying that okay all right okay it's the breakfast club good morning tell y'all something janelle monae new album age of pleasure drop on a cruise bomb for a new album and it's quick too it's only like 23 minutes right quick like 30 minutes like 30 minutes. Like 30 minutes. That's all I need. That's it.

Why are you damaging 30 minutes? You're just listening to the album. You're trying to convince women that 30 minutes ain't a long time show, man. Is that what you're here doing? No, that's a long time. That's a minute. That's definitely a long time. That's a minute.

That's a lifetime. You stay for 30, boy. You're doing something. Hey, man. Zoom class don't even last that long. That's right. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Adam Silver. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? On the Breakfast Club. Now, Carlos

Miller and Av Green are our guest co-hosts. Yeah, what's happening? 85 Stop Show. Yes, sir. Alright, now, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show and gave people an update on his thought process when it comes to Ja Morant's latest incident. And that involved Claudia Jordan spilling the tea that she got some news or, I guess, some behind the scenes.

She said she heard from her sources. Her sources. She was on Breakfast Club on Monday. She said she heard from her sources that Ja Morant had a fake gun. That the gun was fake. A cap gun, so to speak. There are reports on social media about whether the gun was in fact a gun. And so we haven't completely wrapped it up.

Does that matter, Commissioner, if that's a toy gun? The very issue is for Ja, certainly in the first incident, was treating a gun as a toy. I think everyone agrees that gun safety is critically important and that guns aren't toys. But in fact, if you are live streaming something that to the world looks exactly like a gun and in a frankly reckless manner, should it matter whether or not it's a real gun? I mean, I, you know, I will say at the end of the day, everything that's presented to us is relevant. in this case you know obviously we're we're going to take into account whatever's presented to us now i love the breakfast club for obvious reasons and i'm not saying claudia jordan don't have sources all i'm saying is i didn't believe that story when i heard claudia

said so how did it make it to the commissioner of the nba we probably pretty big out there i don't know if you know that's how feel. They're just attacking him at this point. Adam Silver? Yeah, like Adam Silver, you got the whole finals going on. Wait till after the finals like you said you was going to wait till after the finals. Yeah, they press on it, but they asking about it. I don't think nothing's going to happen. This is America, bro.

America loves guns. John Morant needs to get with those white people that got all those gun organizations. They need to get sponsored by Winchester or Glock or one of these big gun manufacturers. We live in America where there are more guns than people. So to sit there and try to act like John Morant invented guns or we live in China where you're not allowed to have one is just ridiculous. But that's the problem, Carlos. John Morant don't get paid from the NRA. He gets paid from the NBA.

The NBA has rules and regulations. The people who are in the NRA, they watch the NBA also. I just think John Morant, he's pandering to the wrong crowd. Might be. It could be a very lucrative business move if he get the right people around him who can plug in with those gun freaks who run America. Then he got to be MAGA.

Y'all still going to love John Moran if he MAGA? We love you. Man, shut up, man. Now we gotta talk. You just called him here earlier next month. Now we gotta talk. I do want to say one thing. You tell a lie or play on Breakfast Club, they gonna take you serious. So you better be careful about what you say up here.

Adam Silver's supposed to come to my sports show too. Adam Silver can't even hoop. Why is he the commissioner? I'm tired of listening to old white men who don't know what they talking about. He ain't never dunked on nobody. He don't live in Memphis. He know you can't walk around Memphis without a gun. Memphis is one of the realest cities in America.

They got Glowrilla, Duke-Deuce, 36, Mavya, Yo Gotti, Moneybagg, Yo Boyd. Come on, man. They got black youngsters walking around now. You can't go in town without them. I'm disappointed that John Morant didn't have that 30 on him. Jesus. I'm right, too. Let's talk 50 Cent.

He recalls making only $17,000 per episode. He said, he was talking to Vulture. He said when he first started, he said he didn't make a lot of money. He just wanted to get into TV. He said there was no one that could come and tell him that, you know, $17,000 wasn't enough or was going to happen for him. He said he executive produced. He said I gave him the theme song for Power. I gave them all the things that's connected, hopefully in a different way for it.

You see what I'm saying? All things for $17,000 per episode. I get paid more to go to the nightclub and just wave. But I wanted to make the show and I wanted to make it so bad. I knew there was a bigger picture. Sacrifice. He's not saying that because he thinks somebody's going to feel sorry for him.

He was already straight when he accepted that. It's literally his show. So if all his profit was was $17,000 who gives a damn? He's saying that so nobody won't ask a damn? 50 cents? He's saying that so nobody won't ask for a raise. No, I think he's saying

that because he will. I think a lot of the actors on there were saying they didn't get a lot of money at first and Fifth was saying I didn't make that much money. Nah, that's just

every boss does that. When I started this company, I was sleeping in here. Man, I want to hear all that, bro. We all take a year. Come with that check. You just signed

all them ad deals with Sprite and Hawaiian Punch and... Vitamin Water. Vitamin Water. But that's his money. Up the check. No, that's his money. You can't hire people and expect them to work for you for a little bit of money if you got

a lot of bit of money. Now, if you remember that when it come time to re-up with 85... Bro, NAB don't work for me. NAB is an independent contractor. Oh, you pay him as independent? Oh, yeah, he do. His money don't got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying an independent contractor. Oh, you pay him as an independent contractor? I didn't pay. His money don't got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to do taxes.

No, we're going to stop. We're going to stop this right now. You thought you was part of the corporation? NAB is a tax company. You're freelancing? NAB's money doesn't have anything to do with me. Freelance now. I call Los.

I say, hey, what we do about the tax? He said, we. We? Now I feel like 50 cents. We? Now I call Los. I say, hey, what we do about the tag? He said, we. We? No. Now I feel like 50 Cent. We? Now I feel like 50. You got every opportunity in the world to make bread.

You got a whole studio. Now you changing. Now you changing. Look at him. He didn't change so fast. Your money ain't got nothing to do with mine. Hey, you can teach your man how to fish. That's it.

I ain't even recouping nothing. I ain't recouping nothing. All right. Hey alright pay your taxes don't call me damn you calling up your crime alright

we giving that donkey to who you throwing it to you gotta stop saying it like that who you giving that donkey to I agree with you you just

you just out the loop I don't even know what you allowed to say on this radio but I ain't is that man giving his donkey to somebody do you understand what that sounds like well guess what I don't know who I you're allowed to say on this radio. Is that man giving his donkey to somebody? Do you understand what that sounds like?

Well, guess what? I don't know who I'm giving it to this morning. It's between two guys. And I need y'all to decide, Lowe's. What? He said he's giving it to two guys, Lowe's. I need you to decide. Where you walking to, Lowe's?

Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne's got some funny shit to say out his mouth. If you gotta say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean.

Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the Day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches.

You can call me the Donkey of the Day, but like, I mean no harm. Hey, donkey of the day for Friday, June 9th is really confusing me because I don't know who should get the biggest hee-haw this morning. It's either going to a man named Xavier Pope or an Uber driver named Nicholas who drives a Toyota Tacoma. Drop on the clues bombs for everybody listening to the breakfast club live from a Toyota Tacoma this morning. We appreciate you.

I don't know whether Xavier or Nicholas should get the donkey, but I came across a New York Post article, and I saw a headline, and I'm not going to lie, Nav Green, I thought about you immediately. For those of you just joining us, we have Carlos Miller and Nav Green from the 85 South Show in here. If you know anything about the 85 South Show, then you know Nav Green is a food connoisseur.

Best vegan recommendations I've ever heard came from Nav Green, and I know Nav really is a food connoisseur okay best vegan recommendations i've ever heard came from nav green and i know nav really loves his foods when i saw this headline i thought about you nav and i want you and carlos to help me decide who should get donkey because when i read the new york post story the headline says my uber eats driver asked me for gas money to deliver my food do y'all want to hear more of the story does that or does that headline already make you feel something a little bit more okay a little bit more now xavier pope who's a chicago resident to deliver my food. Do y'all want to hear more of the story? Or does that headline already make you feel something? A little bit more. Okay, a little bit more.

Now, Xavier Pope, who's a Chicago resident, by the way, he tweeted, this Uber Eats driver just asked me to cash app him gas money to bring my food to me. Pope said the driver was harassing him and wouldn't stop calling. Xavier tweeted, he has now called me five times. This is harassment. I am about to call the police on this dude. Now, let me read you the exchange. Okay uber driver nicholas all right nicholas and xavier the uber driver said yo it's your uber driver i can't make it to you unless i can somehow get gas money

hello xavier replied back this is unprofessional the uber driver said i understand i'm very sorry but let me know what you want me to do i can't be stuck on the highway it's the same thing as leaving a tip xavier replied give me my food first the guy uber driver said that's the problem i don't have the gas to get to you uh your food or else i wouldn't ask i just need enough gas to make it to you sir that man said sir he means well the driver was about to run out of gas and he didn't realize the order was so far away now xavier called those people on nicholas and by those people i mean uber support and uber support said behavior like this is definitely not okay xavier said it's something i do not want to experience again a person coming to my home pressuring me for money now i'm confused who should get the biggest hee haw because i think

xavier overreacted xavier threatened to call the police because nicholas said he needed some gas money to keep the toyota tacoma on the road. Nicholas said it's just like giving a tip. I hate to be the one to tell you, but that's the climate of the society we're in. When we have public servants like Nicholas that make our lives easier, we got to take care of them. But then again, Nicholas, if you can't afford gas, then maybe you probably shouldn't have a job that requires a car. I told you earlier.

Nah, that's too much. That's too much, Lois? I think you should give them both a donkey other day. Because first of all, everybody who's an adult knows, when you asking somebody to do something that involves their vehicle, gas money may come up. Even if it's through an app. What I would have did, I would have sent them a little 10 or something for gas. But it depends on where you ask for it.

Wait, wait, wait. But you got it? Once I got my order, I would have said I ain't getting my order. I was going to recoup mine on the back end. But you was getting it regardless.

I would have looked out for the young brother. Because look, you know, I've been a delivery driver. Sometimes it do happen. Okay. But I'm saying you might have

to take some of your money and, you know, your bank money and buy you a little gas. Because he would have still been fired because he never got his food. I used to deliver pizza

for Domino's. Shout out to Domino's. Best job I ever had. Okay, I thought you were going to get fired. That was for my own business, LLC. He still would've got fired though

because you said the food never came. Now, you got a few times to not deliver the food. You don't get fired on the spot. Who's going to fire you? It's Uber Eats. You literally can

on the app. There is no boss. Now, can we go to one of the world's foremost experts on food dive green here so look what i i think first off and foremost like if you're working for uber or something like that you when you see the money flash up you're gonna press submit because you see the money but then you see the distance he look at his gas tank i can't make it now as a food person and i want my food i'm going to help you help me right so if you can't get to me i'm canceling that order now

i'm getting something i'm at least get you to me but i don't know how you're getting back i don't know how you're getting back so who should get donkey both of them i told you both of them you think so too yes i think the the person who didn't get his food he didn't get his food he he he he he loses he had options he could have he could have got he loses the most though charlemagne okay i think y'all bugging i want to ask you but you don't like people that drive toyota so i don't even want your bougie out the loop toyota tacoma is against 23 miles per gallon gas miles or highway miles. But I would say this. When you order something from Uber Eats, they charge you all those goddamn fees.

It's not like they just say, okay, the meal's $5. They charge you $5. That money's not going to the driver's. Plus a delivery fee. Plus they charge you another fee. Then the taxes. And then they ask you if you want to give a tip on top of it. But the man's still got to get there, though.

Have you ever been hungry and mad? No. See? Exactly. That's what I'm saying. You don't struggle enough. You don't struggle enough. That's why you're not able to connect with these regular issues. You have too much going on.

You live a great life and we support that. You're like a role model to the black community. You're jumping in and out of Fer work hard. You're a role model to the black community. I work hard. But you jumping in and out of Ferraris and all this. You probably never even had Uber Eats. I work hard.

I have a wheeze every day but I work pretty hard. But I will say this. I agree with Los. Let's give the double donkey to Nicholas and Xavier. Give them both for here. All of them back and forth.

That's sad. That's true. Y'all can't make that man give a tip. Hold on. Now close BET out. All right, BET. We'll see y'all later. Everybody else, we'll see y'all on Monday, BET. Hold on. Now close BET up. All right, BET. We'll see y'all later.

Everybody else, we'll see y'all on Monday, BET. All right. Now get back on Envy. That's exactly what I'm saying, though. He the type of person like, well, the service wasn't that good. I ain't going to tip. No, Envy, you have to tip. No, I don't.

Those people who are in the service industry, they depend on rich people like you to come through and leave good tips, whether the service is good or not. See, that's the problem. You can't leave a tip if the service is not good. I'm going to leave a tip depending on tips whether the service is good or not. See, that's the problem. You can't leave a tip if the service is not good. I'm going to leave a tip depending on if the service is a good or not. Then they have to make good service. Don't hold the staff accountable for the restaurant. You ever been to a restaurant and they treat you like ish?

They don't come back and refill your water. They don't do anything. That's why you need to tip. No. I'm not tipping for bad service. You tip for good service, not for bad service. You can't tip for bad service. You can't do what you want to do and still expect to get tipped.

That's right. Exactly. I'm not saying tip people with bad service. That's what you just said. But what I'm saying is this is how these people make their money. Correct. So you're probably getting bad service because they don't have gas in the Tacoma. Because they're not making money at work. Because everybody who come in there say, hey, we're getting bad service because they don't have gas in the Tacoma. Because they're not making money at work.

Because everybody who come in there say, hey, we're getting bad service. What if it's a bad restaurant? I would have gave the man gas money. I would have gave him gas money. I would have gave him gas money, too. But you're not going to pressure me into giving you gas money. That was not pressure. Trust me, Envy.

You ought to be honest with you. But that's his mistake. You're on the radio every morning. That's his mistake. You know, you're getting pressed for a tip, whether it's good or not. I don't know how you feel about that, but that's just the facts of life. Right, but that. You getting pressed for a tip, whether it's good or not. I don't know how you feel about that, but that's just the facts of life. That's how you press for a tip, Envy? I don't know.

When I go out, I tip well. He ignores it. You can tell he ignores it. I tip well. I damn near tip well. 20, 25% when I tip. But when the service is good. If the service is bad.

What you do? I ain't going to tip you nothing. I agree. I can't tip you for bad service. I'll give you a little something. I'll give you the basics for bad service. I'll give you $5.

I'm not going to tip you well just because I have to. I think that's what Lowe's is saying. Even if they're giving bad service, you should just give them a basic tip. But if you're doing a great job, you get a big tip.

Should we pull them to the side and tell them why you didn't tip them as good as you would? After you eat. Yeah, after you eat. So they don't spit in your food. This is a good topic. Let's talk about this.

800-585-1051. Charlemagne gave Donkey a date of two men. Yeah, Xavier and Nicholas. And the reason you gave him Donkey a date was because of what? Because Nicholas is an Uber driver, and he straight up asked for gas money because he couldn't get to Xavier. I don't see a problem with that personally.

You know what I'm saying? Xavier threatened to call the police on him and report him to Uber. But this is the thing. We don't even know if Xavier had the money. Like, Uber E this is the thing, we don't even know if Xavier had the money. Like Uber Eats is expensive as hell. We don't know

if he had the money. Then you got affected in the location in Chicago. But that might have been his last money. That might have been his last dollar

to get that food and now you want me to give you extra and I don't have it and you're saying I'm not going to bring your food unless I give you a tip

and this is all I got? All this is true. He could be a college student. He could be like, but you can't make somebody give you a tip to bring my food that I paid for.

He didn't try to make him. He did ask. But Charlamagne, he actually dropped the food off. He did drop it. He could be like, but you can't make somebody give you a tip to bring my food that I paid for. He didn't try to make them. He did ask. But Charlemagne, he actually dropped the food off. He did drop it. He got it in. And the guy said, mmm, tasty. Right. Yeah, he should get dunked the other day.

Because you being sarcastic. I gave it both to him. All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Read Uber driver.

The Breakfast Club. It's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club let's talk about it morning everybody it's dj nv charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club now you just joined us, we got our guest co-host, Carlos Miller, Nav Green here. That's right. Yeah, we're hosting all next week. Y'all going to be our co-hosts. I just got off the phone with some people. 85 South Show.

The coldest. Now, if you just joined us, Charlemagne gave Donkey the day to who? Oh, man. Two men, Xavier and Nicholas. I didn't know who to give Donkey the day to. Nicholas is an Uber driver. Drives a Toyota Tacoma. Xavier ordered his food. Nicholas didn't know who to give Donkey the day to Nicholas is an Uber driver Drives a Toyota Tacoma Xavier ordered his food Nicholas didn't have gas money

Nicholas hit up Xavier And said hey bro I can't get to you Unless you throw me Some gas money The man even said sir I personally Understand where he coming from

If Xavier had a little extra To give him He should have gave it to him But this is my thing right With Uber You already get paid For a delivery fee right They charge you for a delivery fee When you order Uber They charge you for, right? With Uber, you already get paid for a delivery fee, right? They charge you for a delivery fee when you order Uber.

They charge you for your food. That doesn't go to the driver. They charge a delivery fee. That goes to the app. They charge you taxes. That goes to the app. That don't go to the delivery fee? No.

And then you tip when you get your food. That's why they send you that text after you get your order to ask if you want to leave an additional tip for the driver. Those are app fees that you are paying. See, that's what the thing is these uber drivers and uber eats people these are independent contractors right so the money that when you give them a tip that's literally what they're making they may get a dollar or two to pick you up but they're they're gonna get paid mileage so that's why they make more of the tips and commission that's what i'm saying so when you hit somebody from the airport you can get a uber in a minute because they're gonna get paid

a certain rate to pay people up from certain location or however it works i just know that there's certain trips that all the drivers want to take like a longer drive where they can give you a better ride so you can give them a better tip right but in a lot of cases people don't necessarily have the money for that tip but they don't need to be on the app. Well, that's the whole idea of Uber Eats. And a lot of people order Uber Eats because it's cheaper. Uber Eats is cheaper than buying groceries. Yes, it is.

And a lot of places, it's cheaper than buying groceries. Uber Eats is the only app that can turn a $15 order into a $50 meal. I don't know where you're ordering from. Anywhere. Anywhere.

And you better not add no condiments to it. You want to argue with Nav? Look at Nav body, man. That man know he's a vegan fool. He not eating no burgers and fries and things we eating. Bro, you are tripping, tripping today, Envy. And then Uber, I can tell you. All right, let me tell you.

You ain't even have to add one. But Uber, just buy one, get one. You can buy one meal and get another one free. Because the meal is $60. Come on, $60? I ain't even have to ask. Just buy one, get one. You can buy one meal and get another one free. Because the meal is $60. Come on, $60? I ain't never seen that. And listen, what did the man say? And the man still bought the food to the guy. And then I was saying, you said this happened in Chicago.

Bro, you can't buy gas at every, at certain times you can buy gas in Chicago. But he did not have to call that man five times like that asking for that money. Yeah, he wanted to do a good job. He wanted to get him his food. And he still dropped the food off and the man said, mmm, tasty. Right, but that's not part of what's supposed to happen. And you're not supposed to be calling people asking them for tips before you deliver the food. Somebody asked for a tip and you're replying, mmm, tasty.

If you cancel an order, he don't have your number no more. So you could have stopped at that call number three like Buddy Trish. He really didn't have to call. He could have texted through the app. Y'all bugging. Hello, who's this? Hello, my name is Vicky. I'm from Jersey. Hey, Vicky from Jersey. Good morning. Good morning, good morning. Talk to us, Vicky.

So, I'm an Uber driver and I'm also a Grubhub driver. The driver was trying to scam his way for some tip money because the way Uber and Grubhub work is that if I make $10 right now, I can cash it out right away and it'll be in my bank account in two seconds.

Okay. So if I'm starting work, I can't start to work on an empty gas tank. Like I can't. How does that make any sense for me to start work on an empty gas tank and expect one of the customers to pay me, to give me some gas money? It doesn't work that way what are your thoughts on the uber drive and calling the guy

and say hey i can only deliver your food if you give me some tip money to pay for the gas he he was trying to get himself the tip he was trying to make sure he got a tip for the long ride oh so you said he was trying to get the tip up front damn yes that's not you asking for the donkey i could understand that i could understand now he needs the donkey of the day by himself you got to do the work first we don't know if that's the case though can't you what she's saying is real but i get it but i don't know we don't know if that was his last trip so he done ran out of gas like he on his last trip he should have cashed out but why would you just ask for a tip why wouldn't you just say hey man i need a tip why

lie and say you know how do you ask before you deliver the food? Well, you stay fine, boy. I'm going to need that up front. That's why. That's like going to the restaurant before I serve you. I need to know how much you're paying me. That's like, you don't do that.

You can't ask for a tip before you deliver the food. That's not a lie. That's not a lie. What the hell is this? That's real good. What's your name, bro? That's not a lie.

My thing is this. My thing is this. The dude that ordered the food shouldn't get donkey the other day. Plain, plain clear because I'm ordering the food from him. It's not like it's you. My thing is this. The dude that ordered the food shouldn't get dunked the other day. Point, point, period, because I'm ordering the food from him. It sounds like it's you. It's a dude. Nicholas, this you?

You think that thing is just me? Xavier, he said. I wouldn't accept the delivery then. That sounds like a person that you say, brain, bro. Oh, damn. I ain't got the money. I ain't even got the brain to go even make the delivery. Then why accept it?

How does that work with a wheel driver? That's like a personal problem. A PP, bro. You shouldn't have accepted it. You want to test me and ask me for some bread? That's what I'm saying. If you don't have money for gas, you shouldn't have accepted that order. Well, that's what I said during Donkey.

You shouldn't have a job that requires a car if you can't afford money for gas. Exactly. And you can't expect the person that ordered the food to tip you before you even bring the food. You can't expect that. Take one more call. Let me see if I can change my mind. All right. Hello, who's this?

Dee. Hey, Dee. Come on and talk to us. So about the tipping, like, I used to be a server, and you don't have to tip. People don't tip me. I don't go after people and ask them why you didn't tip me. It is what it is. If I had a bad day, that's not their fault.

That's my fault I gotta do better Damn I want you to be my server It is what it is Nah, I mean, I agree with you Like, you know, when you go to eat Or you go to any restaurant

You want good service If something like they were saying earlier The kitchen is slow Then sell it Say, hey, I'm sorry today The kitchen is slow Bear with me At least I understand what's going on

Hey, people called out I'm the only waitress The only way to work Okay, I get it I understand what's going on. Hey, people called out, I'm the only waitress, the only way to work. Okay, I get it. I understand. But don't just have me sitting there waiting. Ain't nobody about to explain all that to y'all regular asses. Because that's why it's going to make it slower. You're not about to sit here and explain all that

to these regular ass customers. But if you don't come back to me for 30 minutes, you can't expect a good tip if I'm sitting there waiting. If they don't come back for 30 minutes, that means you ain't good customer. Sometimes they will put you on ice. Sometimes come look for me. Right.

You're not a priority. But I don't want a way to treat people differently just based on status. No. You treat everybody the same. You know why you get treated like that? Because the people, when you go to a restaurant that requires services, they know who's going to tip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've been there before and you didn't tip.

Yeah. You feel like you're going to come back and get some good service and magically start tipping. You're the $5 customer. You're going to get $5 whether the service is terrible or great. You are the person who's going to leave

that little $5 thing and think that you made an impact on somebody. There's a bus driver that goes to a diner every day and he gets treated very well because he tips the way he does. Exactly. He know the dude who washed the dishes name. Now, if somebody is in there that you know, and he's not a tipper or a tipper, I understand,

but you just can't say, okay, he looks like a tipper. He don't look like a tipper. But look, people who tip the least, they work you the most. But can you imagine you at work working like hell, and then you get a good customer like DJ Envy, and you know he going to look out for you. But how do you look at nothing? And then he give you the little, what do you say,

20%? $7? I tip 20%. But look, how do you look at a man and tell if he got a big tip or a little tip? I don't do that,

Charlamagne. Talk to him. Talk to him. That's what you and him talk about. Man, you don't talk about big tips, Charlamagne. That's weird.

Talk to Envy. What's wrong with y'all? You ask him if he got a big tip or a little tip. Ask him. Let me bring my lady in here. What's wrong with y'all? You ask him if he's a big tip or a little tip. Ask him. Let me bring my lady in here. What are y'all talking about? Why do y'all turn this into stuff like this, man?

I don't know. What's wrong with you? You ask Charlamagne. You done asked like you were talking about no one. No, yeah. Charlamagne, you need somebody. What's the difference between a big tip and a little tip? What?

You need guidance, Charlamagne. You need to talk to somebody. Like the Sandalwood back up. 805-85-1051. Charlamagne gave Duncanka the day to who? Well, I actually gave it to Nicholas and Xavier, but now I feel like just Nicholas the Uber driver need it. Have we changed our mind?

We'll take some more calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just joined us, Charlemagne gave his donkey tip. Well, I gave it to two people, Nicholas and Xavier. Nicholas is the Uber driver who asked for gas money from Xavier. Xavier threatened to call the police on Nicholas, called Uber support. Probably going to get Nicholas in a whole bunch of trouble. I personally, if I was Xavier, I would have probably gave Nicholas some gas money. But now that I'm listening to the callers and we

talking about this a little bit more, I'm like, damn, maybe it is just Nicholas who should have got donkered. You can't get in trouble when you work for Uber. Who they going to tell? Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Felicia Pascoe. Hey, mama, good morning. We're talking about this Uber driver who said he couldn't deliver the food

because he needed money for gas. What's your thoughts, Mama? My thoughts is, first of all, good morning again to DJ Envy and Charlamagne and all the guests on the host. Carlos Millenat Green. I'm so happy I answered the phone because I work in the service industry. I drive trucks and I serve part-time. So this sympathy is really, really huge for me.

I think the Uber driver, obviously the man was desperate. He needed gas money. He wanted to do his job. So he was asking, you know, homeboys, he could help him out. He wanted to bring him his food. I feel that if the guy did have the money, it would not have hurt him to, you know, give him a little $10. You know, a little tip spot so he could bring him in school. I feel like you have to be in a really desperate position.

But the Uber driver should be responsible, too, and knew. I feel like you. I said, for a man to ask for gas money, I don't think he was trying to finesse Xavier at all. I think he really needed it. But also, you got to understand, you know, you're saying throw him a little $10 and you're talking about Uber Eats meals can be $20, $30. Somebody might not have had that extra $10. I don't know, bro. Hello, who's this?

Hey, this is Katana from the street. Hey, mama, what's your thoughts? Okay, I work for one of those companies. I've done both the driving and work on the corporate end. And basically, I think both of them should get donkey of the day. The driver should get donkey of the day because I think it was unprofessional. I've run into that issue before. And all I would say to them is like, hey, you know, I'm out of gas.

I might need somebody else to come pick up that delivery and try to help coordinate that. I think that would have been a better option to do than to try to ask this person for gas. But also on the customer's end, I don't think that they should have been a prick about it. I think that there is a level of understanding that could come for that. Yeah, you may be a little bit upset, but you don't have to call the police on somebody that's trying to work to bring you something. That's what I'm saying. So those are my thoughts on it. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah. It's just a level of understanding and professionality. But I love y'all so much. I listen to y'all every day. Y'all keep me going on the drive. So thank you for doing what y'all do. Thank you, mama. All right.

Well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is who we giving donkey today to? The moral of the story is go get your Donkey today to? The moral of the story is go get your own damn food. I don't know, man. I'm confused about this. He was going to call the police on him. That's what I'm saying.

What you going to say? He threatened to call the police, but then he called Uber support. Why even threaten to call the police? This is a desperate man. You even thinking police gang. That's what I'm saying, man. This man needed gas, man. Sounds mighty white to me.

I'm leaving it at both of them getting donkey. That's what I'm saying. That's what I say. All right. Well, when we come back, we got past the awks. We're asked when Nala Simone, DJ Nala, comes up here. She puts us on to music that's coming out. We should know about and all that, so don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Char envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our co-host carlos miller and nav green here and it's time for past the aux it's time for past the Yachts with DJ Nyla. Yup. Nyla, Nyla, Nyla. Yeah, DJ, come spin, now come spin.

Big Nyla. Big Nyla. Let's hear it, Nyla. What up? What's up, guys? How you feeling? I'm good. All right, so today, we didn't do a little something for the intro.

We did the intro. We didn't do the intro. No, I meant the music. It played. We did the intro We didn't hear the intro No I meant the music It played We did the intro it played Oh I knew that Alright cool So first record

Y'all stop getting high in the morning I don't It's them shrooms Smoke Oh wow Boy damn Wow That's crazy to get on the radio

And just lie like that That's not lying Can you please stop I have the father that loves me Salute to my God yo Okay So First record is by

Brian Misa. He's Jamaican, but he's really from a place called Kitson. It's like a Kitson. It's an island. A small island. It's in Kits. No, no, no. It's called.

It's spelled K-I-T-T-I-C-I-N. K-I-C. Okay. So, yeah. He's from Kitson. And this record, Taliban, is going up right now. Yep. Have you feeling that?

Yeah, man, put it right in there with that burner boy. Like, I'm with all that. He's on the end of scope. He's dope. Lose ain't like it. No, I was trying to. Lose, if it can't play in the box, Chevy, he ain't rocking. Yeah, definitely.

We don't have nothing to play that. Yeah, he want to hear all that. Yeah, I want to hear that. That's too soft. That's I want to hear that impression. I'm hustling. That's too soft. That's too soft for me, bro. I thought that was Tim's or Sizzler or something. I don't know.

I don't get that. You ain't like Burner Boy, Last Last? Last Last. No, I'll cry. You didn't like that? I tell you, if it can't go in the box, Chevy, Los Angeles ain't got to win. He wanted to hear all that. What else you got, Nyla? All right, we're going't go in the box Chevy Lil Z ain't about to win What else you got Nala?

Alright we're gonna go to the next one Which Carlos you might like this one It's by Doughboy From Cleveland Doughboy Cash Out Just Doughboy Okay Oh it's alright

You know Doughboy I'm familiar Okay I'm familiar And this is called Way I Walk It's a J-Lo sample Why it sound like

Chopped and screwed And all beat a little bit? Not slow. They slowed it up a lot. It seems like it. Oh. Yeah, they had to blur out, bleep out a lot. Yeah. That's not his best work. Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean, I'm glad he got one that's catching on with the mainstream, but I'm familiar with some of his music and he has way tighter. Maybe you just presented it wrong now. That record sounds off. Don't play me the clean one.

I'ma check it out on my own when I hear the music. Yeah, I'ma check that on my own. Shout out to Doughboy though, he got some hits. Well, nonetheless he does have other records that are doing well, but this is the one that fans wanted that he played a snippet of and then it wasn't gonna make the track list because J.Lo didn't approve the clearances. So he went on a press run. As much as J-Lo has appropriated

from this culture, she should approve every sample. That's just my opinion, though. Don't put me on the radio. You on the radio. Oh, okay. We got the record

with Drake yet? You like that Safari? Y'all f*** that record? No. That record hard. Drake said, who told you how black man can't dance? He sound like Safari. Touch my head, shoulders, knees, and... Yeah, I ain't like that Safari. Y'all that record? Nah. That record hard. Drake said, who told you how black man can't dance?

He sound like Safari, man. Touch my head, sure does knees and... Yeah, I ain't like that. Y'all ain't like the record? No, man. That record hard. Drake is way harder than that.

That record is trizzy. Y'all ain't rocking with it at all. I don't even like the tone of voice he's making. Probably once I see the video when they had women in that dancing tour. Women make stuff up. Well, I was like, this is not Drake's record.

It's cool that Drake got on the record. He's showing love to UK artists. Drake should have stayed on. I mean, if he wasn't going to be Drake on there, he should have just left it alone. Yeah, that sounded lazy. That didn't take that song to another level like Drake usually does.

It sounded like Drake hadn't mastered his patois yet. Exactly. That's what it sounded like to me. That's like an old verse. When he first started doing patois accent. Yeah, patois yet. Exactly. That's what it sounded like to me. That's like an old verse when he first started doing patois accent. Yeah. Patois accent.

That was even, that's probably before he started wearing all those old chains like Puerto Rico. I like the record. People always stick together. What?

The record is dope. Or like he kept asking Drake, Drake like, hell man. Yeah. Yeah. You keep asking,

keep asking. I like the record. If people listening like the record if people listening like the record definitely check it out shut up you can't talk about none of my records today I don't like them you don't like them it's ok

now Lose you might like this I did not keep going I hear you liking that shit eventually, it's just because they had to play the clean version. I think you would actually

like the record. Give me something else. What else on the playlist? That's it. Well, snatch the aux from her. I don't know. You know, maybe next Friday,

but you ain't bring me nothing this week. All right, all right. Anyway, so if you guys like the records, unlike Lowe's, please make sure you guys follow me on Instagram
