Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha. And I go by the name Q Ward.

Being here next to all of you guys, it's really big. Breakfast, breakfast, perspective. The Breakfast Club, bitches.

Gratitude should be your attitude. What's happening? Absolutely. Now, it's Monday. No, it's Tuesday. Today is Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Yes.

How you feeling, man? I'm feeling all right, man. Can I salute Jess Hilarious? Salute to Jess Hilarious. She is the third co-host of The Breakfast Club. Yeah, if you didn't hear yesterday, we announced it on social media once we got off the air. That's right. Yeah, so she is officially the third co-host of The Breakfast Club, and she starts next Monday.

Next Monday she starts, yes. So that just means that we don't have to do rumor reporting no more. Hey, man, drop a bomb for that. Jess with the mess will be here. Yes. And what a bomb for that. Jess with the mess will be here. Yes. And what I mean when I say Jess with the mess will be here, not that Jess has the mess. Jess does have the mess, and her news is real. That will be rumor reporting.

That's right. Yes. Yes, and she starts on Monday. Yes, next Monday. That's right. Super duper exciting. Congratulations to Jess. Well deserved.

Well deserved. Earned. Boy, well earned. Earned. And deserved, yes. Earned, not given. Earned. That's right.

All right. What'd you do yesterday? yesterday anything uh yesterday i worked out yesterday um you know i'm working on my third book so my third book is on the way so that's been uh consuming a lot of my time outside of like you know uh other business endeavors but majority of my time is yeah working on working on my third book which is which is coming sooner than you think that's right okay yeah we just uh wrapped up uh my second book uh real life real family where we talk about raising our six kids uh and you know i got one 22 one just turned 20 i got a 10 and 9 and 7 and a two-year-old so we talk about the differences and the errors how things have changed you know because when i was raising my 22 year old when she was a child things change change. You don't do things differently. You learn from either mistakes or you learn to do things differently. So we talk about all of that. So I'm excited for that. That should come hopefully this year.

So super duper excited for that. I kept it light yesterday on a Monday. And I'm tired this morning for some reason. I don't know why. It's weird because you wake up on Monday. Yesterday, I had mad energy. And then it's Tuesday. And Tuesday, I feel like how Monday's supposed to feel. Now you wake up on Mondays sometime and you feel a little tired. Yesterday, we knew the announcement was going out, so we were all excited.

That's why I'm mad. That wasn't my thing, no. Oh, I was excited. That wasn't, no. I had a lot of energy. I was excited. I didn't have no energy for that. Oh, I was excited.

I knew. I've been felt that forever. No, energy for that. Oh, I was excited. I knew. I've been felt that forever. Nah, that was exciting. I mean, me too. I knew. But announcing to the world, that was excitement to me. It was. I knew what that was going to do.

We had some fun with that. We did. Yes, we sure did. Yes, we did. Man. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news next.

We'll tell you what's going on. Teslin Figaro will be joining us at Oak Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Char joining us at Oak Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

Now, some quick sports. Ben Simmons has returned after missing 38 games. Who cares? Yesterday, he played in 18 minutes. He had 10.8 rebounds, 11 assists. How much? 10 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists. Well, congratulations to Ben Simmons.

I'm glad that the brother's back on the court, but it means nothing. Right? Absolutely, positively nothing. It's so funny because I talked to my man Rob Markman. He's a big Brooklyn Nets fan, and he literally sent a bunch of texts to the group chat, and he was like, I will not give my hopes up over Bill Simmons. I'll not give my hopes up over Bill like, I will not give my hopes up over Bill Simmons. I'll not give my hopes up over Bill Simmons. I'll not give my hopes up over Ben Simmons.

He acted like he was writing on a chalkboard because he didn't want to get his hopes up. So I just want to tell all Brooklyn Nets fans out there, don't get your hopes up because Ben Simmons is back, okay? I keep calling him Bill Simmons. That's how long he's been gone. I can't even remember the name. Well, they won last night, 147-114. And also, Shakur Stevenson is claiming that he is retired from boxing at age 26.

I don't believe that. Yesterday, he put on his Twitter, I'm officially retired from the sport of boxing. I'll be in the gym forever perfecting my craft and helping the next generation become great and chase their dreams. But I ain't effing with this weak boxing game. Yeah, I don't believe that. Shakur Stevenson is too great, too young,

and I think he's probably having problems securing a major, major fight. Like a lot of those guys out there that he wants to get in the ring with, the Devin Haney's, you know, who tank maybe. It's not happening for him, but he's probably frustrated at his promoters. That's what I think it is.

Alright, well what up Tez? Hey, what's going on DJ Envy? Charlamagne Tha God. Peace Tez. Let's jump right into it. Let's talk about the drone strike in Jordan. Yeah, three Army Reserve soldiers, you know, rest in peace to them. A sad story. The Defense Department has released the identity of the three U.S. Army Reserve soldiers who were killed Sunday in an attack at a base in northeast Georgia. Now these were the first US deaths in months of strikes by the Iranian back militant groups since the Israel Hamas war started on October 7th. Let's take a listen. President Biden meeting with his national security team in the Situation Room under pressure

to respond after an attack the Pentagon says was launched by Iranian backed militias in which US soldiers were killed. We've now learned the names of the three fallen troops. 46-year-old Sergeant William Jerome Rivers, 23-year-old Specialist Brianna Alexandria Moffitt, whose family described her as a very loving person, a very giving person. She loved life. And 24-year-old Specialist Kennedy LaDawn Sanders, her mother talking to us tonight. She never expressed any fear.

And Tower 22 is nothing that she ever mentioned to us. She was full of life. She enjoyed life to the fullest. You know, she was just a ray of sunshine for anyone that came in contact with her. Man, man, horrible, horrible. Sending healing energy to the family of those three soldiers. Thank you to all the veterans out there risking their lives for us on the daily.

How did the drones get through to be able to do something like that? Yeah, they thought that it was typically a friendly. This area that they're in, they typically see friendly drones come through. So obviously this was not one. Now this is the third attack that has happened. But the first time there were casualties and more than 30 people were injured with an explosive pack drone struck when it struck the base near a shelter where some troops were

sleeping, according to the U.S. officials. And I did want to play this clip with United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. This is what he had to say as far as retaliation. We will respond strongly. We will respond at a time and place of our choosing. And obviously, I'm not going to telegraph what we might do in this instance or get ahead of the president. But I can, again, tell you that as the president said yesterday, we will respond. And that response could be multileveled, come in stages and be sustained over time. I don't I don't even like the fact that they're telling what they might do or what they might not do. I think they should be quiet and do what they got to do. But my question to you is, is how do we know the difference between a friendly drone and an evil drone?

Why don't we just shoot down all the drones if they're coming in our airspace the same thing like there's a happy drone have a happy face on it like how did they decipher when it's flying in the air yeah people in the military would know more than us but what yeah if i'm a soldier and i'm out in the field i wouldn't consider any drone friend yeah every drone every drone gotta goes down but you were in the military so maybe yeah better insight right well it was at a U.S. base. So, you know, a lot of time you don't want to shoot down stuff that's friendly as well. So when they were at a U.S. base and let me just kind of put this point out there as well. You know, you'll hear a lot of people say, oh, reservists. I just want to say this as a veteran.

People say reservists are never, you know, around anything dangerous. If you do an administrative job, you're not around dangerous. I want to point out that these people were not working dangerous jobs. They were at a base which is supposed to be secure. And so when you have drones that are around with them doing, you know, surveillance or it could be any type of any type of activity that the base itself is doing. So you don't know what's friendly. You don't know what it would is possibly has intercepted. And that's the thing about going to war. War has real casualties. This is a risk, you know, that you take. And it's unfortunate when something like this happened and they're able to, you know, to break through and we get a casualty. I want to say this, though. Progressive Congresswoman Jayapal is asking President Biden to seek permission from Congress first before any retaliation, because we covered that a couple of weeks ago. Remember how they did some airstrikes without technically receiving permission. So they are asking that President Biden seeks permission. And this is what she had to say. Well, my heart goes out to the families of those service members.

And this was a terrible tragedy. I think the challenge now is that we are increasingly getting pulled into a wider and wider war in the middle east and i think we have to be extremely careful about what our next steps are i wonder if uh you know there's there's any liability because i keep reading the headlines that they call it a drone mix-up but they say a drone mix-up was cited in the deaths of the three u.s troops and uh the washington post said the u.s mixed up enemy friendly drones and attacked that killed three troops. I wonder if there's going to be some liability on somebody's part.

Yeah, I would just love to know more about the drones and how they decipher which drones can come into our territory and which drones can't. I would figure that all drones would be, you know, you couldn't have any drones with their people without military as. So the other the other night well i don't think it was the chiefs game it was a drone that got too close and they damn near emptied the field like they got they damn they got all the players off the field so i just don't know how how the difference is with with you know with military because when you're on a military base because again it was a military base so when you're on a military base you see that type of stuff you know happening all the time and again trying to figure out uh is it friendly is it not friendly they believe though uh that this is an islamic

islamic resistance of iraq that has done this uh and so again those drones coming all the time it's not really quite clear if they're going to say hey it was the u.s's fault was it the um militia you know the the militia's fault and so we'll see how that all plays out there's some folks that say you know it's it's a the American American air defense is confused the enemy drone with a friendly one that was coming in at the same time right you just can't shoot down every drone that comes in so I do understand your point DJ me but on a base you know that's those are the kind of things you know that are happening you could be any reason they could be testing they could be you know uh doing surveillance i mean it could be any reason why you see it so you can't just necessarily go into

uh you know shooting everything down because this was the area that was supposed to be safe they weren't in the field you know they were at a base sleeping so all right well rest in peace to those brothers and uh and those sisters all Well, that is front page news. Just one quick question. Since, like I said, you were in the military, what would you want to see in return? I don't. That's a tough question. Because everybody else looks at it differently.

But since you were actually on the field, like you were there, like what would you want to see in return? Well, my actual job was an M60 gunner. So I actually protected, you know, troops on the ground, on the plane. And that was actually my job. So if you were to ask, put my military hat on, then I want to see retaliation. But if you were to ask my political side, when you look at getting into this war and how many wars do we have going on and how do we, is this going to make it harder for them in the Middle East? Then, yeah, you got to kind of look at all those things so military side m60 gun aside retaliation um but if it's not done right and it's putting us in more danger and more soldiers are in danger then now we got a bigger problem because we got a couple of different wars going

on in the east right now so okay kind of hard question well thank you thank you and we'll see in a little bit what we talk about when we come back yeah i know most of our listeners are driving while they're listening to this if you are driving a toyota you definitely need to listen to this they are sending out a do not drive warning they want you to uh some particular toyota brands they want you to stop driving immediately and if you are if you want to make four hundred thousand dollars a year you might want to apply at walmart so i'm going to give you that information when we come back all right get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club

Okay. Now, all the papers, all the new paper talk about the trailer bowl. The trailer bowl. That's right. The trailer bowl. I'm glad you said that. The trailer bowl. Say it again, Envy.

You want smoke at the Swifties. Say it. Say it again. The trailer bowl. That's right. Why is it the trailer bowl? Because the trailer park trash? What you saying, Envy?

I'm reading from the post. Why they say the trailer bowl? I didn't get that far. They just said it's the trailer bowl. Why is it the trailer bowl? Why were't get that part. They just said it's the trailer bowl. Why is it the trailer bowl? Why were you saying it? I thought you were saying trailer park trash. No, I wasn't saying that.

Oh, Travis and Taylor, so it's trailer. Oh. Where were you going? You said trailer park. I just thought you were insulting all our fans for no reason. I was with you. I had you back. Let's go, FB.

Let's go. Trailer, let's go. I had you back. I was like, let's go. Let's go. Chandler, let's go. I had you back. I was like, let's go. Let's go. What we doing? Now, they're saying that a couple of things. Well, they're saying that the Super Bowl tickets went up, they believe, 33%.

Now, tickets on average is $12,000. The lowest price you can get on a ticket is $9,800, which is 70% more expensive than last year's big game. I know they're not attributing that to Taylor Swift. Now, they're also saying all the private jets, the reservations for jets landing is sold out. So if you have a private jet, you can't land in the spot because so many private jets will be landing. That ain't got nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

They also, United Airlines is doing something special for all Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift fans. They are adding more flights from Kansas City to Vegas. And they're naming it like after her album. Why? Like Flight 1989, which is her album. Flight 22, I guess, which is her album in 87, which is Kelsey's number. We're not doing this.

Yeah, so that's what they're doing. We're not doing this yeah so that that's what they're doing we're not doing this the next two weeks this is why so many of us was hoping the ravens beat the chiefs because we knew that everyone and their mother was going to be talking about taylor swift for the next couple of weeks right we're not doing that and here's the thing black people i'm talking to you right now we have the tendency to elevate things by talking about how much we don't like them we're not doing that with taylor because what happens uh we're going to do that. And then all the Swifties and everyone who loves Taylor are going to start defending Taylor. And before you know it, it's a civil war on social media.

And all the chatter is about Taylor. No, let's keep the chatter about Usher Raymond IV. Okay? And Usher continuing to get his much-deserved flowers at the Super Bowl in Vegas in two weeks. That's all we should be discussing. Well, this is the last thing. They're saying the Super Bowl viewership is expected to increase by 15 million if Taylor Swift attends. She has a show in Japan the night before,

so they're trying to figure out if she will make it in time. And now you could actually bet to see if Kelsey is going to propose to Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. What's the odds on that, Red? Did you check the odds on that? You didn't check the odds on that.

You didn't check the odds on that. You didn't check the odds on that. So it has nothing to do with the fact that the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history. They won, like, what, five Super Bowls, I believe? It has nothing to do with the fact that Kansas City, the Kansas City Chiefs are, like, the newest dynasty in the NFL. They've been to the Super Bowl four out of the last five years. It has nothing to do with that. It has nothing to do with the fact that Usher Raymond IV is performing at halftime.

It's all because of Taylor Swift. Hey, if y'all don't get the hell out of here. Hey, they say if Taylor Swift attends, they're saying the viewership's going to increase by 15 million. Man, shut up, man. I hope she don't come. They're already tracking her playing to see when her concert's over in Japan and she flies back to see her boo play in the Super Bowl.

Man, please. You think you're going to propose? I don't care. Leave me alone. Super Bowl's the biggest thing every year in America as far as viewing. And now all of a sudden, y'all going to attribute these hundreds of millions of people who've been watching the Super Bowl for years to Taylor Swift? Cut it out, man. Yeah, they're saying the average price of a 30-second advertising spot went up, and they said it sold out because Taylor Swift is going to be going to Super Bowl.

The all-time record for Super Bowl viewers was set in 2015 for the Patriots versus the Seahawks. It was $114 million. Last year's ratings for Kansas City versus Philadelphia drew 112 million viewers. Okay? America already watches the Super Bowl. Cut it out, man. And lastly, they have another bet to see who's going to be in Taylor Swift's box. Go to commercial, please.

Go to commercial right now. I know who's going to be in Taylor Swift's Super Bowl box. Travis Kelsey. That's who. That's the only person going to be in Taylor Swift's box, okay? That's his girl. Go to the commercial, right, please. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club club let's get in some front page news what up tess what's going on dj envy charlamagne the guy breakfast club family peace dad let's jump right into it let's talk some of these car dealerships what's up with toyota yeah this is really important i know a lot of our listeners are driving but toyota has said that they are urging the owners of 50 000 older older U.S. vehicles to get immediate recall repairs because an airbag is dysfunctioning and they said it could possibly kill motorists.

They said they are putting out a do not drive advisory covering some of the 2003 to 2004 models of the Corolla, the 2003-2004 model of the Corolla Matrix and the 2004-2005 RAB4s that have airbags. They said more than 30 deaths worldwide have happened as a result of this, including 26 U.S. deaths and hundreds of injuries has happened as a result of this. So if you are driving a Toyota, definitely this is not a recall to take lightly. Definitely look into that so that you can be safe. Well, let me ask you all a question. When they say stuff like this, right, when Toyota says, says you know stop driving and get immediate repairs are they paying for those repairs can i take them to a deal they're paying for okay just making sure it's under warranty they're paying for them just making sure and i would i will say this usually that happens because

somebody gets into an accident usually somebody passes away and dies and they want to make sure it doesn't happen again so they encouraging everybody to bring their their cars in to prevent any more deaths or accidents or injuries. Such an inconvenience, man. Because, you know, what if you, you know, you got to get to work today or you got to get to school today, you know what I mean? Or you got somewhere to be today, like literally right now. Well, you don't have to bring the car in right now. Some of these cars people have for six, seven years

and they've been driving for six, seven years and they haven't had an issue. Hold on, now y'all got to stop sending missed messages to people. But they want people to bring their cars in as soon as they can for repairs. Say, get immediate repairs. Immediate mean immediate. Well, people have been driving these cars for like six, seven years. Yeah, but see, you don't want to take a risk. You probably want to do immediate, though. Yeah, but they get immediate.

If a doctor tell me, hey man, you need to get here immediately, I'm not going to be like, well, give me a minute, doc. You know what I'm saying? I've been driving it. I've been having this ailment for five, six years anyway. I'll be, no. I'll i'll be cool well i do want to say this a lot of the dealerships it's enough everybody but a lot of dealerships they'll give you a rental car you know while you take in the car because it is an inconvenience to your point charlamagne but the reason why i do these recalls guys and i know you say well tez you're always doing recalls

they do the poorest average they really don't reach out to people that well when you do this when you think about when you bought a car six years ago, they probably have the wrong email on file. They don't call you. You never see it on the news. So I pay attention to these recalls because what if you literally, I got one for my car the other day, one of my older cars, they were talking about the sunroof and I wouldn't have thought to check that old email. So I do these guys because again, most of our listeners, how many 8 million are listening in the car every morning. when i see these car recalls it's important so you can take a chance i guess and not go in immediately or go in immediately yeah it's you know now they should definitely go in when they can but uh they also send letters out and the problem with those letters is nine

times out of ten you always think it's them trying to buy your car i'm trying to sell you a new car so half the time i don't even open up the letters you just toss them right or you've maybe moved since 2008 everybody and i stay in the i've moved i've been in three different cities since then so the just how they get this information out you you really hardly don't see it and i just think this is important um for for our drivers so that's why i do those recall stories absolutely now let's talk about walmart you can make four hundred thousand dollars and no college degree needed yeah if you want 400 to the possibility let me be clear to make four hundred thousand dollars without a college degree walmart said his store managers can earn that much the company announced monday that it will give 20 000 in stock grants each year to the super center managers on top of that managers can

earn up to 200 of their base pay as well as yearly bonuses based upon the store sales and profits so we got to keep that in mind some of the smaller stores may not make as much as you know the larger stores but they can make an additional 256 000 annually with the higher pay and the stock all of that combined means that you can make up to 404 000 a year now walmart said it noted that no college degree is required to become a manager and that three or four and that in three out of four people in management roles at stores really did start as hourly workers. It says it takes about an average of five years to move up from an entry role position to a manager position. And just to give you guys what those salaries are, because I looked into some additional information. Typically, they may start at maybe eighty nine thousand dollars at some of the smaller stores uh and can go up to two hundred thousand dollars a year in some of

the big cities so shout out to walmart i worked at walmart uh back in the day so shout out to them man drop on the clues bomb for walmart okay that was fantastic you already know how i feel about walmart that is holy grounds to me when you grow up in a small rural town like i did monks corner south carolina uh that was where we hung out late at night because it was open 24 hours. You know what I mean? Hung out at the Walmart? There was nothing else to do. So when you're a young kid, you know, you're a young teenager,

and 12 o'clock at night, 1 o'clock at night, hey, let's go walk around Walmart. You know, it was open 24 hours, you know, at the time. So that's a very honorable position. $400,000 to be a store manager at Walmart, that's a great living. And maybe I should have stayed. I worked Walmart Target all of those stores so you know it's so interesting I love I still love Walmart but you know Target is like Walmart was my childhood Target is my adult life why in charge a little bougie like the I guess because up here in New York, New Jersey area, I see a lot of them.

It's close, you know what I mean? I go to Target. The Targets are closer to me than the Walmarts are. I mean, they definitely have Walmart up here, but Targets are closer to me. And I used to go, I love the Target t-shirts. They used to have the Mosey Moe t-shirts, and now they got the Goodfella t-shirts. It's great quality, man. I agree.

I still like Walmart over Target, though. I love Walmart. No qualms here. Love Walmart. t-shirts and now they got the good fella t-shirts it's great quality man i agree i'm still i'm still like walmart over target though but i love walmart no no no qualms here love walmart all right well that is front page news thank you tiz absolutely and make sure you follow at tesla figaro on all social media platforms at tesla figaro and subscribe to this great shot no chaser podcast uh hosted by tesla figaro on the blackHeartRadio podcast network all right when we come back let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 let's talk Shaquille O'Neal now Shaquille O'Neal was doing a podcast is it his podcast yes I think that was his podcast called the big podcast the big podcast now on the podcast he was talking about men should never open up to a woman and this is what he said you open up to a woman yeah And this is what he said. You open up to a woman? Yeah. Never.

No. Never. When's the last time you think you've opened up to a woman? We don't. Your whole life? Bro, I'm going to tell you. They're going to tell you you can't. Because you know why?

Because it's a trap. Because you know why? Because once you do, whenever something goes down, they're going to throw it back in your face. That's what I've had. That's why. That's real. That's why. So you can't ever. That's why you cry because your dad left you.

Yeah. Now, do you feel that way? Do you feel like you'll never why you cry because your dad left yeah yeah now do you feel that way do you feel like you'll never open up to a woman because you feel like she'll throw back in your face let's discuss 800-585-1051 we'll take your calls when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club if you're just joining us we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051 uh shaquille o'neal was doing

his podcast and this is what he said about opening up to women you open up to a woman? never when's the last time you think you've opened up to a woman? we don't your whole life they gonna tell you you can't but it's a trap because once you do

whenever something go down they gonna throw it back in your face that's why so you can't ever that's why you cry because your dad left you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's discuss. 800-585-1051.

What's your thought, Charlemagne? I mean, it depends who the woman is and it depends what your relationship with the woman is. You know, if it's just some chick you smashing, yeah, you probably don't want to open up to her.

You know what I mean? You probably don't want to be vulnerable with her. But if it's, you know, your wife or, you know, long-time partner or, or you know a a really good friend a best friend or somebody you consider a sister yeah there's nothing wrong with opening them opening up to them and being vulnerable with them and i don't even want to make that agenda thing like people tend to you know if they're not good people they'll tend to throw things back in your face, you know, when it's convenient to them

or when they, you know, trying to throw a jab at you or throw a shot at you. So it's just not a gender thing. It's a people thing to me. But if you want to just keep it about women, it just depends on who the woman is. Like, simple as that. You're not going to open up to your mom.

You're not going to open up to your grandma. You're not going to open up to your wife. You're not going to open up to a longtime partner. Of course you will. Like, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with somebody that i can't open up to i think it takes time uh i mean thank god i'm able to open up to my wife but i think it's also what you see right i think um watching my dad my dad never really opened up to anybody he just kept everything to himself and i think for myself it was one of those things as well starting off you open up right so for myself when we talk about opening up your feelings and really having those conversations

yeah it took a long time because one you didn't know how to because you didn't see it and two I would say the same thing it's like you know these are your deepest darkest feelings sometimes and sometimes you you don't know how to open up you don't know how they're going to be because once you open up and you're able to be free it's the best feeling in the world and i'll tell you something else that's good this is why i'm a big proponent of therapy you know what i'm saying like sometimes you and your significant other gotta go sit with somebody so when you go sit with somebody it's kind of like a referee there and it's a safe space you know and i think that it's something about you know revealing things in therapy that cause you not to bring it up later like sometimes if you reveal things just

amongst each other you know later on when y'all having an argument you might just pull it up but for something about that something about the therapy of it all makes it sound seem more official and you don't just use it against people you know but but even if you go beyond just feelings and emotions and you go sexually right a lot of men won't open up sexually like i was just thinking uh a lot of men won't open up sexually pause hey yo what's up with this guy rand i was god damn that was so flagrant a lot of men won't open up sexually see damn i was you know i was it was i was talking to big mac pause and Big Mac was reminding me that Amber Rose was talking about, you know, how allegedly Kanye likes fingers in the... Okay, stop. But if he likes that, he opened up to her, and that should be between them, correct?

I have no idea what you're talking about no more, man. I really don't. That's why I don't even like having so-called serious conversations on this damn show. I don't like you. Okay. I don't like you. This guy is crazy. This guy said men won't open up sexually.

And his very next thought is about a man getting a finger in his butt. All right? There was no need for me to pause that, ladies and gentlemen. Okay? He fast-forwarded to the scene he wanted. It's on, man. Hello, this is... This is Jeremy.

Hey, what's up, Jeremy? Yeah, man. I'm about the topic. Yep. About finding your woman. No matter what you tell them, they get mad man they're gonna always bring you back to try to use it against you so you don't open up to your woman i do but there's certain things i can't tell because i know it can be used against me at any point of time now how long you've been with your woman we've been in

for 12 years married for five is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

You don't trust her to not use your feelings against you. T. Good morning. Hey, good morning. What do you think about what Shaq said? Absolutely.

Really? As soon as they are hurt, they're going to throw that right in your face. So you don't open up to your significant other? Hold on, so you a lesbian? What? No, because we're saying women. We can open it up to all people, but we're talking about women specifically. I wasn't expecting that one. So from a woman's perspective, a man will absolutely take your most sacred secrets and

throw them right at you as soon as they're upset and mad. How you make this about us? This is about y'all this morning, ma'am. This is not about what men will do. It's about what women will do. We do what we want to do, right? You're right. Right. I'm joking,

but that's what I said earlier. It's about people. Because if people, you know, if you don't trust a person, you know, men are women. Anybody can use something against you when, you know, y' trust a person you know men are women anybody can use something against you and you know y'all get into an argument that's why i like i like that i like to have issues with people sometimes because whatever a person says to you when they mad that's what they always wanted to say to you and that's what they always felt about you to begin with absolutely 800-585-1051 if you're just joining us we're talking about something that shaq said

on his podcast let's listen You open up to a woman? Yeah. No, never. When's the last time you think you've opened up to a woman? We don't. Your whole life? Bro, I'm telling you. They going to tell you, you can't.

Because you know why? Because it's a trap. Because you know why? Because once you do, whenever something goes down, they're going to throw it back in your face. That's what I've had. That's why. That's why. So you can't ever.

That's why you cry because your dad left you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And asking your thoughts. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call, call, call, call. Tell her, tell her.

Maybe. Just for some chemistry. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

If you're just joining us, we're talking about Shaquille O'Neal. He was on this podcast and talked about opening up to women. You open up to a woman? Yeah. No, never. When's the last time you think you've opened up to a woman? We don't. Your whole life?

Bro, I'm going to tell you. They're going to tell you you can't. Because you know why? Because it's a trap. Because you know why? Because once you do, whenever something goes down, they're going to throw it back in your face. That's what. That's real.

That's why. So you can't ever. That's why you cry because your dad left you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're asking 805851051, what are your thoughts? We got JR on the line. JR, good morning. Good morning, good morning. What's up, man? What's your thoughts on what Shaq

said, brother? Man, I believe it, bro. Like, you know, women, they the kings when it comes to them arguments, but they gonna have the right fuel, so as soon as you open up to them, that's what they gonna throw at you, man. So you don't open up to your woman, you don't tell her some of the things that you need to tell her, because you know she gonna throw it back in your face.

Yeah, you gotta kind of keep some things to yourself like you know crying in front of them like that my wife can't curse but uh yeah you know certain things you can't do man because they're gonna they're gonna use that against you man man y'all don't have y'all don't have real people in y'all in y'all circle then i mean i do understand you gotta be careful who you trust and tell your problems to because not everyone that smiles at you is your friend but damn your significant other the person you lay to be careful who you trust and tell your problems to because not everyone that smiles at you is your friend. But damn, your significant other, the person you lay down with at night. You should be able to cry.

You should be able to complain. You should be able to get whatever you need to get off your chest if you really love that person. That person loves you. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Lauren. Hey, Lauren, good morning. What did you think about what Shaq said?

It's true what Shaq said. A woman would Some depending would throw A back going in your face But would anybody come For a person that's in an argument It doesn't matter male or female A person Who's upset is going

To use anything to make the Other person upset So I still think What he said is not fair because it's not just a woman. A man would do the same. I mean, y'all haven't argued with a person before. Okay.

No, I agree. I mean, me and my wife, we get into arguments, but there's never been a time where she threw something in my face that I told her that was bothering me or that made me insecure and vice versa. That's part of love, right? If you love somebody, you don't want to use the things that they tell you or the things that you know that hurts them or doesn't against them, right?

Yeah. I mean, listen, man, personally, to me, a good friend is is is all about trust and loyalty. Like you don't even want to second guess whether you can tell your actual friend something. And I mean, you know, our wives, our husbands, our significant others, whatever it is you're dealing with, you know, you should consider that person your best friend. You know, so if you can't trust them, you know, enough to talk to them and, you know, you don't feel like they're loyal to you. Damn. Right. Damn. Damn, damn, damn. All right. Let's go to one more caller. We got Cassandra on line cassandra good morning hi good morning you guys good morning cassandra what's your thoughts cassandra she said first of all what you're about to say that is the stupidest i've ever heard in my life this is why he's done and i can divorce now damn okay continue no that's what

Yeah I I can wholeheartedly say Without a shadow of a doubt I trust women Way more with my feelings Than I do these niggas Exactly That's why

I was very surprised that Of all people Shaq said that come on he's too old he should know better well i think he's speaking from personal experience you know i'm saying clearly uh you know clearly he's been traumatized in some way shape or form by by a woman who violated his trust absolutely again and this is why he's probably still single i don't i don't know jesus christ shout out to shack what's the moral of the story the moral of the story is when you completely trust the person without any doubt you'll automatically receive one or two things a friend for life or a lesson for life okay that is

the key to a good friendship to me a good friend is all about trust and loyalty you don't want to ever second guess whether you can tell your friend something man all right all right when we come back we got your rumor report.

Yeah, it was. It just makes you really think about what people do at the higher levels, right? When you think about military agencies and why they have psychological operation divisions. It's just so easy.

No, but it's also scary because people just make up their own stuff. It's so fun. No, it's not. Nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. I tell y'all that all the time. But bro, they were making up all types of rumors and all types of sayings she got fired on her day off

it just goes to show especially in this year this is going to be a year of misinformation because it's a presidential election here in Americaica and also in uh south africa and when you think of all of these things like ai and you know bots and everything else it used to be believe uh none of what you hear and half of what you see right now it's like believe nothing nothing at all nothing don't believe nothing that's true i don't know what to tell you. You've got to use the

sermon like you never used it before. Okay? But y'all damn sure ain't using it with us the past few weeks. Thank you, though. We appreciated the rollout. It helped us tremendously. It did. When we come back, we got Kanye West. We got the rumor report with Kanye West. We'll tell you what he did. He snatched people's phones again. We'll get into it

Here's SZA. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it.

Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. Tell us. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Kanye West was walking down Hollywood Boulevard.

He was on his way to Charlielie wilson's walk of fame ceremony him and his wife were walking down the street when a tmz reporter approached him and started asking him questions about his wife kanye got mad snatched the phone uh started screaming on the woman and then after all of that he offered her a job All of that, he offered her a job. And Bianca has her free will. Some people are saying you're controlling her. She's TMZ. She's TMZ. Why do you feel like it's okay? I'm a human being. What do you think? Are you a white woman?

You can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumb ass s*** like that? Ask me if I'm a white woman. Do you think she got free will? Are you crazy? You insane? It's America. You got free will or you work for the devil? You got free will? You work for TMZ company? I'm a legend. You understand that? I'm here to support Charlie Wilson. You come ask me some dumb ass I got my wife.

That's my wife. You understand? You was asking when I couldn't see my kids. Where is your phone? Yeah, how do you know me miss? I don't know you. What is her name? What is this lady's name? Melanie what? What's your address? What is this lady's name? Melanie what? What's your address?

What you make of here? I'll pay you double what they pay you. Woo! Get her contact. Yes, I will. I will. Man, Kanye is a sucker. All right, when that man was yelling at him and his wife last week, he had nothing to say.

He skedaddled. Remember, y'all forgot about that just that fast. Remember that? Play that clip. I am the real, so nifty. You ain't s***, boy. Don't even reach off, play with a carty, too. I said, oh, f***, boy.

I am the God, homie. Lucifer, homie. You ain't s***, boy. Kanye had no smoke for that man last week. Him and his wife, he skedaddled. I'm the one, not whole, not true. I ain't a little bit fiasco. I ain't most deaf, dog.

This is my block. I am homeless 12 years, gang. I ain't listening since 07. Not since graduation. Only little boys. I'm on my s***. Kanye had no smoke for that man last week. He skedaddled, got in his vehicle and didn't want no issues.

Why he ain't getting that man face and have a conversation with that man? Why he ain't getting that man face and ask him, why was he asking you all those questions? Why was he talking to you like that? Huh? Why you ain't tell him you was a legend? I'm serious, man. Why he ain't no more for him a job? I don serious, man. Why he ain't offer him a job?

I don't respect that. Yeah, exactly. He needed it. That man needed a job. Why you hit off him that? I don't respect that. You snap a phone from a woman and act all tough? I don't respect that.

Sucker. Sucker, sucker, sucker. Well, also, Megan Thee Stallion, she's facing backlash over the Megan's Law Bar in her new record, Hiss. If you don't remember the bar, here's the bar in her new record, Hiss. If you don't remember the bar, here's the bar. Now, if you don't know, Megan's Law was inspired by Megan Conker. She was a seven-year-old girl murdered in the 90s by a sex predator. And they created this law. Now, Megan Conker's father said he didn't hear the song, but one of their youngest kids told him about it.

He said he was happy that it actually sheds light to it. But he says it's still the song is so vulgar that he has a lot of negative feelings towards it as well. I mean, you can't tell that man how to feel. He's a father, so you can't tell that man how to feel he's a father so can't tell him how to feel yeah but my question is with megan's law it's a law right so i'm sure a lot of people google to see what megan's law was right which which is probably what he wanted i mean he said that though yeah he said he said he was happy about the attention that that you know was brought to it because of it but i guess he's talking about the rest of the song. It's the vulgar lyrics. People hear rap differently than we do.

You do know that, right? Especially if he's not into rap at all. He don't know what's going on. It's kind of like when a... It's similar to when an artist wants to sample a record, and then somebody will listen to what they want to do with the music,

and they don't approve of the lyrics, the content, concert they don't approve of the sample that's what this that's what this kind of feels like to me yeah but i feel like this is a play with words it was she he was she wasn't disrespecting the law right yeah i think he's talking about the rest of the song the rest of the language that was used in this like the whole record like curse words and whatever else she was saying you know i mean that's what that's what i personally believe i don't know okay now also lastly most deaf he uh responds to people you know uh i think about a week ago he was talking about drake and said drake wasn't hip-hop do you have the original post like is drake hip-hop why are you doing this to me drake is pop to me in the sense like if i

was in target in houston and i heard a Drake song, it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping or it's, you know, shopping with an edge. Fair. I like Drake's music, but I understand exactly what you're saying. Well, it's likable. Likable music. Yeah. We got a lot of backlash for saying that.

People were saying Drake is hip hop. That is so funny, man. I would love to shop with an edge. What does shopping with an edge mean? I want to know what that is. Well, people criticized him a lot for saying that. And they started saying Drake is hip-hop. And this is how he responded to that.

I'd like you all to hear what it is that I have to say as it relates to some of the comments that I made about Drake. First of all, I don't hate anyone. My opinion is mine. It's legal. It was not an opportunity to try to slander him or to clown on him. I have reached out to him. I have no response just yet.

But I will say this, the young man is very talented. He's been able to be very successful with that talent. And I have no issue with his success or anything that he's been able to achieve as a result of his talent. I do feel that some of the criticism that he's received in the past has been mean-spirited and unfair. I don't want to participate in that. Nonetheless, it's not sacrilegious to have a critique or an opinion of a public figure, particularly one of that magnitude.

Drake is hip-hop. He's hip-hop. And most does not have to defend his opinion. If there's one person that has the right to an opinion about hip-hop, it is definitely Mos Def. That's his opinion. Art is subjective. Who cares what folks say about your opinion?

I don't like when people, you know, bow. Not bow. I don't want to say bow or bend. When people respond to the backlash on social media. Because you have to expect that, right? When you put your opinion out there, it's going to be people that agree with you. It's going to be people that disagree with you. But it's still your opinion, so you got to stand on that.

Right. But he didn't take the comment back. He didn't say Drake is not hip-hop or Drake is hip-hop he feels he feels the same way he was just saying that his comments doesn't come from hate doesn't come from a place where he's saying drake is not talented he just doesn't his form of hip-hop he doesn't believe drake fits in i'm just mad that target of somebody hasn't you know hired drake to do some commercials you know for people who like to shop with an edge okay that that should be the super Bowl commercial. What is shopping with an edge? I don't know.

But they can show us during the Super Bowl. That'd be like a great commercial for the Super Bowl. Shopping with an edge. You know? All right. A bunch of people walking around dressed like Kanye. Is dressing like Kanye wearing a black mask with a black leather jacket and black jeans in the summertime? Is that shopping with an edge?

That is shopping with an edge. Especially where that Walmart is or that Target is. That's what I'm saying. Yes. That would be a fantastic Super Bowl commercial. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, who you giving your donkey to?

Man, four after the hour, I want to talk about why manners will take you where money won't. All right. Yes. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the

same some donkey today's just saw themselves i've been watching charlotte man what's ready i never heard of donkey the other day what is it say it again charlotte man i'm a donkey yes you are a donkey everything that charlotte man is saying is true I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne's saying is true. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, January 30th goes to a Chicago man named Muhammad Worku. I think I pronounced his name right.

So, what's up, everybody in Chicago? Now, this is a very interesting story to me because a motto that I live by is something my grandmother and mother always told me, and that is, manners will take you where money won't. I believe that wholeheartedly. I think that it costs nothing to be kind and people will always remember how you made them feel. Okay. People will forget things you did. They will forget things you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Remember that. Okay. When I tell you this story, I tell all the youngins around me, all my nieces

and nephews, when you're working with people, what you want to be said about you when you leave them is that you are a pleasure to work with because once again manners will take you where money won't that's right bad manners close open doors good manners will make you matter in life your manners open doors that you know your beauty can't open and and buy you things your money can't. Okay. And this brother, Muhammad Warku, clearly believes the same. See, Muhammad is a bank robber, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I can confidently call him a bank robber because he robbed two banks. Okay. Once is a coincidence.

Twice is a pattern. And he did it twice. But he didn't just do it. See, he walked into one bank with a note that said, pay it back soon. And then less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of, and this was less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of committing a similar bank robbery. Okay, gather around. Let me tell you the story. See, two years ago, Muhammad Warquoo walked into a local bank

and pressed a note against the glass that read, give me the money, please. Thank you. And he left with $5 595 he was found about a half hour later with about a hundred dollars less and the note that said give me the money please thank you still in his possession okay but let me tell you why our court system is flawed because in court work whose attorney argued that even though he committed a crime it did not amount to robbery because she said robbery involves stealing something by force or intimidation so his attorney mary judge claimed there was no implicit or

explicit threats of any kind who knew you could go into a bank just be nice just be polite and ask for what you want and you shall receive it well look at this if you have ever been refused credit or a loan all you had to do was be nice. If you got a history of mispayments or possible fraudulent activities. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God.

Okay, by the way, a jury agreed with his lawyer. Work who, who's 31 years old, was released from custody this past Friday. So on Monday afternoon, armed with his new knowledge of the judicial system, empowered by the fact that he didn't do anything wrong

because he was nice about it, he then walked into another bank and handed an employee a note that said, please give me the money. I'll pay it back soon. Banker's gift. Yes, G-I-F-E. I don't know if he was trying to spell give or gift,

but he said banker's gift, G-I-F-E. I don't know what he meant. Was it gift to give? Anyway, bankers gift me in advance. Well, it worked again. And the bank teller gave work who more than two thousand dollars and allowed him to walk out before calling the police. First of all, drop on a clues bomb for that bank teller. I'm so glad you didn't try to be a hero because that bank ain't dying for you Okay, Chase is simply the name of a bank

It is not an action you should do when someone robs one Okay, just let them walk away Now, let me continue to explain this story The teller described work who is wearing a surgical mask, neon green gloves, and a neon green winter cap Investigators later found surveillance footage of a man wearing, guess what? The green hat, hat the gloves and buying clothing in a backpack at a nearby target store so they arrested him just about half an hour after the alleged robbery with 200 less than what he had been given at the bank okay you know how i

know muhammad doesn't think he's committing any crimes because in both cases he didn't try to get rid of any evidence still wearing the clothes he committed the crime in Still holding on to the note that he used to commit the crime. And now he is set to be charged with both bank robbery and bank theft, which do not require force or intimidation. His lawyer who got him off initially married judge says that this is a more appropriate charging decision. In fact, she said because of the jury's not guilty verdict, I believe the government is now charging both bank robbery and bank theft in a case where there is not evidence of force or threat of force. I think they have to throw the book at the man simply because you have to make an example. Are you going to have a generation of polite, well-mannered crooks thinking they can get away with crimes simply by saying please and thank you? And that's not how any of this works, because here's the thing, people judge others on how they act, not what they say.

Folks can say anything. Remember what I said earlier? People will forget, you know what you said. OK, but they won't forget how you made them feel. You have to follow that up with actions if you have manners and you say please and thank you, but then do something foul. That's not good manners. OK, having good manners, being polite, helpful and respectful. The others shows you have self-respect. But robbing someone after you say please and thank you shows you do not. Please give Mohammed work who the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.

Oh, no, you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. It's kind of like when folks say no disrespect, but I think instead of saying no disrespect, you should just be like, please, may I disrespect you? Please? May I please disrespect you you i'll apologize for it later no that's what it feels like all right well thank you for that donkey today yes all right now when we come back let's open up the phone lines

800-585-1051 shout out to michael Blackson, comedian, you know, friend to the room. He put a question out yesterday. He says, is it appropriate for your homie to ask your girlfriend how she is doing? All right. 800-585-1051. In what context? Does it matter? Yeah. If me and my significant other are together and my homeboy walks up and he gives me a pound,

and he says, what's up, man? And he turns to my wife and says, yo, how are you? No. That's fine. I think he meant on the phone.

I said, what context? Checking up on her. So that's like your homie reaching out to your girl, your wife, and saying, hey, how you doing?

That is the context. Without you involved. Why is he doing that? Like, is she sick? Like, was there a car accident? Like, did she just have a baby? Like, what is the reason she he doing that like is she sick like was there a car accident like did she just have a baby like what is the reason she's doing it because that can happen on social

media right if you know like what if you see your homies significant others on social media and you know something happened you send a dm like yo you good or you see her post something in the story and you reply back oh you you doing better better? How you feeling? I'm saying context matters. It does. It needs to know more context. Yeah, it does. 800-585-1051. Because, you know, the first thing you think is like, hell no, my homie shouldn't be reaching out to nobody.

That's because y'all insecure. You just jumped the insecurity. But when you think about it, like you said, if somebody gets into a car crash, you'd be like, hey, just checking up on you. You're okay. Or if somebody just had a baby, hey, congratulations. If I saw you, if I see my homeboy's girl out and about, I'm gonna say oh what's up how are you just right what come on man i need more context well let's just he didn't give no context he didn't give no context that's all he said that was that was his context that's all he said okay that's all he said but let's let's have this

conversation 800-585-1051 that's all he said is it cool for your homie to hit you up? Hit up your girl and ask her how she's doing. Hit her up. I would assume on the phone. Let's discuss eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Would you have a problem with it? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining joining us we're talking about something shout out to comedian Michael Blackson put on Instagram yesterday

he was talking about you know homies shouldn't be checking up on your girl that is the question I need more context mother sucker 800-585-1051

because it's all about context right because it's like if I don't if you if you and my girl know each other and we cool and y'all cool, and, you know, she posts something in her story, right? And you know she might have been in an accident or just had a baby, something.

And you just ask, how are you? You good? That ain't, that don't bother me. I'm thinking about it. And, nah, it don't bother me. Because you're thinking about, I'm thinking about my friends that actually have my wife's number right and if they hit her i wouldn't have a problem with it yeah if i see you in the street if i see you in the street you know what i mean if you see my girl in the street and you say what's up how are you you know i mean

stuff like that don't bother me i gotta know i gotta know more context of what this checking up is you know what i'm saying yeah but like i said it like my friends that have my wife's number i wouldn't mind like they hey just checking them on your house everything i well if it has to be context because why are you checking up it's just out the blue is it just tuesday but hey i'm checking up on you on a tuesday you know i mean i don't know yeah and then what if you what if it's your if it's your wife right and it's like your first cousin. And we all, cool. I have a problem with that. That's what I'm saying. I need more context to this question. Hello, who's this?

Yo, what's going on? This is Alex. I appreciate y'all for letting me call up here. What up, Alex? Alex, what's up, man? What's your thoughts, brother? Plain and simple, man. I hear what Charlamagne is saying.

It all depends on the context, but I think everybody should keep things cordial. You know, no social media, no hitting each other up if I'm not involved. You said no social media, so you don't even want your homies following your girl on social media. Nah, see, too much can happen. It's too much room for stuff to go left,

and that's not even being insecure. Yes, it is. I figure that's more so of a respect thing, you know? How old are you, brother? About 25. 25. All right. So how long you been dating your girl?

We ain't going to get into that, you know, long enough. He don't know. Long enough to care. Long enough to care. Long enough to care about my homie hitting up. He don't remember. Hey, man. But does she put a lot of bikini pics and have naked clothes on her Instagram?

Is that how her Instagram looks? Not necessarily. You know, she keeps things pretty professional on there and all. She's very respectful.

But at the same time, if she did start doing that, you know, I don't want nobody hitting me up out the blue. Like, you know,

yeah. It sounds like a little insecurity, but I get it. All right, bro. It just really all depends on context, man. There's a lot involved. He don't even want his homies following his I get it. All right, brother. Thank you. It just really all depends on context, man. There's a lot involved.

He don't even want his homies following his wife, his girl on Instagram, bro. They might just be his homies. I mean, like I said, it's about context. I don't know how close he is to these boys. You know what I'm saying? I get it. Hello, who's this? This is D-Boy from Illinois.

D-Boy from Illinois. D-Boy from Illinois. Now, what's your thoughts, D-Boy from Illinois? First, my thought is, Charlamagne light-skinned homie called him and talked to his wife. That's why he hate all the light-skinned people. Never. Let's get that out the way.

But secondly, if you calling your man's girl, you ratting on him. If you calling your man's girl to say, hey, how you doing? You ratting on your partner. Ratting on your partner. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, there's no, as, hey, how you doing? You ratting on your partner? Ratting on your partner. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, there's no, as I said, it's about context. Like, I need context. Mello! Yo, what's the word, Envy? What's up, Uncle Sulla? What's up, Mello? Now, Mello, can your significant other call your girl on the Obama phone? Wait, hold on.

Can my significant other call my girl on the Obama phone? So, you almost got me there. You almost got me. I beg that. But I'm not going to hold you. If you're my man and you're talking to my girl, you are no longer my man. Because she barely like me. So what's so special about you that she's okay with you hearing her up like Wendy Williams

talking about how you doing? Let me know. Hilarious. But what happens if something happens? What happens if she got into a car accident? What happens if she just had a baby and your homie just want to say yo, congrats. How you just checking up on you? Okay, but why are you telling her that?

You're my man, not her man. Like, ain't no child bad. Like, my shorty, she from New York. They're the toughest men on earth. Like, they didn't know. Why is she hitting you back? Why is she so comfortable? Alright, Mello. Mello, you and Trav, you and Trav is real cool. What happened if Trav hit your girl?

See, now, that's completely different. No, it's not. And you know why. I'm not about to, you feel me? I'm not about to do that, but it's okay. It's not. Gay men be the biggest snitches to your woman, okay? But at least they not trying to get her.

Yeah, but they telling on you in case if you doing something that you ain't got no business doing what you shouldn't be doing anyway because black men don't cheat there you go mellow i'm sorry you said it i'm sorry i don't even know why you said it right mellow i'm sorry please forgive me please forgive me brother have a good mellow good man we all make mistakes that's right i can't believe i accused that black man of cheating knowing black men don't cheat and i but i say, you know, hypothetically, because we know black men don't cheat. 800-585-1051. We're asking, would you have a problem with your friends directly checking on your partner?

Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're asking, would you have a problem with your friends directly checking on your partner? Now, this conversation comes from Michael Blackson.

Michael Blackson put in a post, is it appropriate for your homie to ask how your girlfriend's doing? So that is the question. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, Debbie from Elmont. Hey, Debbie from Elmont, Long Island. What's up? How you doing?

I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. Now, one question. Would it be a problem if you feel like your man's friend is checking up on you no because if it's a problem i shouldn't be his girl in the first place i should know how to conduct myself and so does the friend it doesn't have to be a negative situation not everybody's a creep out here people are genuinely nice okay that's why I keep saying context matters in this situation. And I wonder if Michael Blackson is saying that, you know, the friend checked up and he didn't know the friend checked up. Like, if the friend checked up and you didn't know the friend checked up and you found out the friend checked up, that's different.

Hello, who's this? Hi. I don't want to say my name, but good morning. Okay, Anonymous. What's your thoughts, Anonymous? I feel like it's okay, only because I'm speaking from experience. My husband and I went through a rough patch one time, and his best friend is also my friend, him and his wife.

And so he was the only one that knew about the situation that was going on. So, of course, he checked up on my husband, and he also told my husband, I'm going to be checking up on your wife as well because, you know, nobody else knows about the situation but me, so I'm going to check on her and, you know, make sure she's doing all right and check up on both of y'all. And he told my husband that. My husband was fine with it, and he told me that he told my husband that. So, you know, that was okay.

That's different. Context matters. And he also told your husband that he was calling. Yeah. He went and told your husband, I know what the situation is. I'm going to check up on her. That's different. That's respect.

That's big respect. Yeah, exactly. Well, thank you, mama. Thank you. Did y'all work it out? Is everything better? Yes, everything is great. All right.

Amen. Have a good one, mama. All right. Thank you. You too. Penny, good morning, Penny. Hey. How you feeling You too. Penny. Good morning, Penny. Hey, how are you feeling, Penny? You know, I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy eight.

So when I think Penny, I think good times and hard away. No, it's not even Penny. It's Penny like Penny, like the color. Oh, Kenny, like the color. Kenny, like the color. Oh, Tanny. Tanny. Tanny. OK. Hey, Tanny. All right. That's different. Whatanny. Okay, hey, Tanny. All right, that's different. What's your thoughts, Mama? So my thought is it's totally not ethical for men to reach out to other women and ask them, is they okay? Because that's opening other doors to kind of size your man up to see if you're accessible or not.

And I don't think that it's appropriate. Sometimes they be trying to slick act like they cool just to size your man up or just try to butter you up for when they see the doors open so i never think that that's okay no you need to show respect for your man at all times you can't just be out here just being accessible even to their friend because nah no thank you teddy no problem have a good day what's the moral of this story i mean the moral of the story to me is just that context matters you know i mean like that's just a big broad general question can your man can your homeboy check up on your woman like i i need more context

because i think all situations vary well well all my my friends that have my wife's number i wouldn't have a problem i'll be honest with you i really wouldn't it's not too many friends that have my wife's number i wouldn't have a problem i'll be honest with you i really wouldn't it's not too many friends that i have that have my wife's number so and the ones that do i know those my family family so anyway when we come back we got your rumor report we got to tell you about elon musk and his brain chip yeah brain chip we'll talk about it it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club all right morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy The Breakfast Club. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Elon Musk. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Right. You know Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla. Now, after years of testing their brain implants on animals, Neuralink, the company, is doing their first test on a human. And Elon Musk, of course, owns the company. Who are the humans? This morning, Elon Musk announcing that for the first time, his company, Neuralink, has implanted a brain chip in a human. Musk saying the person is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.

Neuralink's goal is to help paralysis patients communicate by connecting their brain to a computer. People paralyzed from stroke, from traumatic brain injury, or a spinal cord injury could see the benefits. The FDA approved Neuralink for human tests last May after years of testing on animals. Here's one electrode on one thread that when we stimulate causes a flexion movement of the leg. The company demonstrated the ability of its implants to stimulate movement, allowing a monkey to play a video game. Musk says the first human users will be people who've lost the use of their limbs. But speaking about the long term, he said,

imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal. I mean, that's amazing technology is we can really help paralyze people or folks who have, you know, problems, folks who have problems with their limbs. Communicating is dope. If it's like you said, if it works, that'll be amazing. I just don't want it to make stupid people smart. Like, you know, God made dumb people for a reason. Okay.

I don't know why that, you know, made silence happen in the room. You don't think dumb people serve a purpose? Nah, but you know, if, well. Yes. God know what God doing. I'm telling you, man. God made dumb people for a reason all right well now moving on jam master jay's murder uh trial begins uh began yesterday

actually now this murder has been unsolved for 22 years uh they were actually people in the room where he was murdered and now after 22 years those individuals are starting to say what actually happened that night the 20 years after his death the trial's finally begun for the two men charged with the murder of run dmc's jam master jay opening statements took place this morning in brooklyn federal court lisa evers was inside the courtroom and she joins us live from downtown brooklyn with what we learned on day one lisa friends fans and supporters of jam master jay showed up at Brooklyn Federal Court for day one of the long-awaited trial. Carl Jordan Jr. and his co-defendant Ronald Washington are each charged with two murder counts,

one in connection with drug trafficking, the other for using a gun. In the prosecution's opening statement, AUSA Miranda Gonzalez told the jury it was a deadly ambush of Jason Mizell on October 30th, 2002 by Carl Jordan Jr., seen in his court sketch in a striped tie and vest on the left, and Ronald Washington on the right. The motive? Revenge over a drug deal gone bad. That heinous act is eating them alive. Spirit of Jam Master J probably haunting the hell out of them. Alright, well that is your rumor report

And I want to tell everybody Did we tell everybody that Jess Hilarious starts next Monday? February 5th? Yes we did all morning long Salute to Jess Hilarious if you haven't heard She is the third co-host of The Breakfast Club And she begins next Monday February 5th We super duper excited

So salute to Jess Hilarious Yeah we announced it yesterday You know what's interesting about the rollout we did for Jess Hilaris? What's that? For those who saw the video on social media, the majority of those people, you know, from the YouTubers and the podcasters and everybody else who had a theory and was spreading false information about what they heard and what sources tell them. Most of them lie to y'all like that all the time about everything.

Yeah, of course. But y'all don't care because nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. But those lies are not sustainable. Okay. You can't build a solid platform of real credibility off lies. Eventually that house of cards will fall, but you will learn that on your own. That's right. Okay. And it wasn't everybody that was in the video.

You know, salute to uh claudia jordan and um uh al reynolds the reason we used them at the very end at the end was because that was the reveal and they were the only people that i heard who got it right yeah that said yeah it sounds like a hoax yeah stunt yeah no that's uh salute to them yeah but you know it is scary because so many people believed in what people were saying and they had no clue there was no sources there was nothing they were just making stories up which it's just human nature believe it because you know this was not as serious but this just imagine something else that's more serious that's gonna be happening in the next couple of months but it's not scary it's just human nature and when you live in uh the the area that we in

where everybody has a platform folks is really just looking for content. That's it. But them looking for content can hurt other people's lives. Nobody cares about the truth and the lies when it's in it. By the way, it's always been like this. Tabloids and everything have always existed. There's always been rumors and gossip. The difference was the people that spread the rumors and spread the gossip,

we knew it was rumors and gossip. Correct. Now these people get on these platforms and speak, you know, with zero knowledge about things with extreme confidence. Confidence like a mother. And they think. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
