This is stupid.

You know you always had that house you could go to when you cut school?
Yeah.
It's that house.
Yeah, it's that house for you.
I appreciate this house.
All right.
Well, let's get some front page news.
It's real bright.
Now, Arizona launches an anti-woke education hotline.
Tez, what does that mean?
Yes, everybody.
Good morning, family.
Thank you again for being here.
Arizona's top education official, Tom Horn, launched a hotline this week for state residents to report K through 12 class curriculum and lessons that they deem inappropriate.
Let's roll the tape and see what he had to say.
We've asked parents to call in when they become aware of inappropriate teaching. As you mentioned, that would include lessons that focus on race or ethnicity rather than individuals and merit gender ideology social emotional learning
or inappropriate sexual content uh and and then when we get those calls we investigate them to
see if there's inappropriate teaching that detracts from academics why is social emotional
learning wrapped up in that we need social emotional learning that's that's one of the
things that my foundation the mental you know wealth alliance uh is pushing to have in school social social and emotional
learning that teaches you like you know social and emotional skills self-awareness self-control
that helps you in life well yeah well because it's really not about that you this really is
connected to the critical race theory and and what's happening in florida it's really it's it's
not about anything except race.
And like you just heard the superintendent say,
he wants to make sure that they are not detracted from teaching standards.
They do not want things focused on race or ethnicity,
and they want to focus more on the merits.
Now, you heard a little bit of the clip,
but in the longer interview from the clip that you heard,
he went into, you know, how bad woke academics was.
He said that we are all
brothers and sisters under the same skin and that race should not play a part of it uh and he said
the critical race theory is about making race primary and not pushing personal ideology he also
said that the majority of parents outside of a few prank calls but the majority of parents are
excited about this and to remind folks he actually actually is a Republican that ran on this policy.
His entire platform was centered on fighting critical race theory and stopping the liberal indoctrination of school children.
So I'll throw it back to you guys. If the voters voted him in for this reason and he put it, he said out out right out the gate, I am going to stop wokeness.
They voted him in and they seem to be going along with this.
So do you guys think it's too much?
It's over the line?
Is it really about race?
You know, what do you guys think?
I mean, when I saw the interview, he can explain everything,
but I just want to know why social emotional learning is wrapped up in there.
I know why everything else is wrapped up in there, but why he put SEL in there?
What SEL got to do with race?
What SEL got to do with race? What else y'all got to do with gender identity? He just wanted to make sure that the kids
learned that the
Native American gave the land
to them white folks and they didn't
take it. Correct. So you got to use the right term
because my kids came home and said that.
They would go to a white school. Oh, and my
daughter slapped my niece and said, no.
No, no, no. They took it.
Don't you come here with that mess.
We wasn't slaves. We was volunteering living in the back of the land and cook every day.
And the white man jumped on top of us and was OK. That's what they wanted to want to continue to push the lies.
Correct. They don't want to scare the white kids.
Now we got to jump into Whoopi Goldberg. Now, Whoopi apologized for saying something on The View yesterday.
She said, I'm very sorry. Yeah, speaking of woke
and what you can and cannot say,
Whoopi Goldberg is apologizing yet again
for comments she made on The View.
Now, she and her co-workers
were discussing possible criminal charges
against former President Donald Trump
in the alleged hush money scandal
involving Stormy Daniels
and she used the word gypped.
Take a listen and let's see what she
had to say and we'll talk about on the other side the people who still believe that he got
you know gypped somehow in the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife
you know to to pay that money from his personal thing. But I just don't understand.
I didn't see.
I've never.
I never knew JIT was a word that would, you know, offend people for the week.
Yeah.
Why do we keep acting like words can't have more than one meaning?
Why do we act like context doesn't matter?
These folks don't understand our culture until yesterday.
I didn't know JIT meant anything else other than somebody got over.
That's what I thought.
And we've been saying this for years.
I mean, I could swear it's something that we said in school he gypped us that's right that's right
yeah and and she apologized for she said you know i come in fact she talked about she said i come
basically paraphrasing from a generation that used the word and she meant no uh you know no
no harm by it and as you guys just mentioned it is a informal verb that means to con swindle uh being robbed defrauded
and yeah it's a real word i thought we was using slang well it's well it's a slang well it's a
slang an informal verb because it is okay uh that that means uh being robbed and defrauded and the
term is offensive to the romanian people because they were once perceived
as fraud and uh frauds and thieves now when i was doing this yeah it's a real stay inward
and speaking of the n-word there's something else i didn't know have you guys heard when i did a
deep dive on this have you ever heard of eeny me have you ever heard it yes catch a nigga by the toe no it's not a yes it is originally
if he hollered yeah he's right that is also deemed racist and offensive because i wanted
to really try to understand like why was jim defensive so i did a deep dive and went down the rabbit hole on that and you are exactly right eeny meeny
miny moe meant catch a negro by the toe and that is defensive so apparently guys jipped is another
i guess thing on the list uh that offends a certain demographic and on you know it caused whoopi goldberg to have to apologize yet again
yeah hey man on behalf of whoopi smd we know what that means right not on behalf of whoopi
okay we know what that means right i don't but tell me when we get out there you know what smd
means you know what that means yes man you said s you because we gotta stop we gotta stop acting
like words can't have more than one meaning we understand context matters y'all know she wasn't talking about nobody no she was using the
word gyps for what it means yesterday i use it all the time filet only gave me one polynesian
but you gotta pay for another one you're not you're not about to talk about chip filet they
don't do that to anybody now you're not gonna say no more now you're about Now you're about to stop trying to say Jip.
I say Jip all the time.
Me too.
And I say it in the proper context.
Is it in the dictionary?
Taz, did you get that from the dictionary?
Yeah, it's literally in the dictionary.
Then I'm saying it.
I don't want to hear that nonsense.
I don't want to hear that nonsense.
It's in the dictionary.
Stop acting like words have just one meaning.
They don't.
Y'all know that.
Context matters.
Even if you don't know what context means.
Nah, I fought context. I just lost the context. All right. Well, you got about 20 more seconds. I don't want to'all know that. Context matters. Even if you don't know what context means. Nah, I fought context.
I just lost the context.
Character matters.
All right.
Well, you got about 20 more seconds.
I don't want to jibber your time.
You good?
I'm good.
All right.
I'll holler back at you next hour.
Well, that is Front Page News.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need the vent, hit us up right now.
Phone lines are wide open.
Again, 800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed.
It's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on
The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Malcolm.
Malcolm, what up? Get it off your chest, Malcolm. Malcolm in the middle, what up?
Yo, Charlotte.
How you don't understand how gypsy is a derogatory term, bro?
Because words have...
I understand words have more than one meaning.
I understand that.
But you're looking at it like
when that word was put in a dictionary,
it wasn't derogatory then.
If you was a gypsy or a Romanian person,
then you would find it derogatory. Hey, man, I'm from
Monks Corner, South Carolina. I've never heard
that term in my life used for anything
other than to say somebody cheated you or
swindled you. Where you from, Malcolm?
I understand that, but that's
how it's derogatory because if you
say that Romanians, gypsies
are known for robbing and swindling people.
So if you rob and swindle someone, you must be a gypsy.
That's like saying that it's okay for someone to call you a n***a.
And they're not saying it because they're black.
They're saying it because they think they're ignorant.
My brother, the N-word is more widely known as a racial slur.
I've never known gypsy to be anything else.
And if you look up the N-word in the dictionary,
there's no positive connotation to the word at all.
The word gypsy actually is a verb that means to cheat and swindle.
Yes, there is.
We just saw what the definition was.
Is that positive?
If you're using it as a verb to say, yo, somebody gypped me, we don't know nothing about no people.
That's just a word.
That's like saying swiftly.
So is there a culture of people called swifters?
I don't know.
I'm sure they'll
be upset by noon hello oh you're right taylor swift fan base damn you're right hello hello
hey what's your name destiny hey destiny get it off your chest yes i just want to comment on the
whoopee but the whoopee goldberg situation that is crazy that she had to apologize for that
i mean i understand we're at a point where we're trying to be more aware of what we're saying
and possibly offending other people, but it's getting ridiculous at this point.
I agree with you.
Five years ago, I said what's going to be crazy is what's going to be offensive five years from now.
At this rate, we ain't going to be able to say nothing.
Like, literally.
I remember back in the day when the only offensive word was goddamn.
You remember?
You couldn't say goddamn.
Your parents didn't want you to say that.
They didn't even want you to say got.
Now we got a million more things we can't say.
It's unbelievable.
I'm running out of words.
I got a GED.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, good morning.
Good morning, what's your name, bro?
Hey, good morning, guys.
I called a couple times before, as well from Jersey.
I wanted to talk about as far as how people will tell you,
well, tell you things that you already know is not the truth
in order to erase history.
So like you were talking about as far as,
I'm drawing a blank right now, but,
January 6th, there's a side of the political party that wants to believe that what we saw in real time didn't happen or
that it wasn't as bad as we as it really was oh it was just a dust up and even now they waited
a year and a half to show us a different video that was more than likely edited and sanitized to make it seem like, you know, well, what took place wasn't necessarily that bad.
Same thing with American history.
So they want to use these code words that sometimes we fall in the trap to, and instead of just being blatant with what the actions were.
So if you want to talk about what slavery, we could say American history and put it all under that umbrella.
But I think their long-term goal is
if we go ahead and
discredit it enough and don't talk about
it, then in a generation or two
it didn't happen. Of course.
That's exactly what they're trying to do.
Exactly what they're trying to do.
We're taking your calls. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
I don't know why did we make
Whoopi look like a slave every time.
What you mean? Every time she's got to
apologize on national television
in front of everybody. I'm so sick of it.
Yeah. I'm so sick of it.
You know, I'm just waiting on
Whoopi to snatch her bra off and walk off the stage and say,
that's it.
I'm sick of this.
Y'all jipping me.
I'm spazzing out.
That's it.
She done made enough money.
Negro, please.
She done made enough money.
Yeah.
I'm so tired of them doing this to Whoopi, man.
Especially for something that, I didn't know anything about the word jip being offensive
to anybody.
I didn't know the word Jip had any
association with a group of people.
It's in the dictionary.
For somebody that cheated you, swindled you.
I didn't even know it was in the dictionary. I thought it was a slang word.
And she used it for Trump
and she was so right.
She was so right.
Come on. How are you going to apologize
for something you called Donald Trump?
Donald Trump don't apologize for nothing he calls nobody.
Man, y'all got to stop, man.
Jesus.
All right, well.
Whoopi, throw your wig on the floor and walk out.
That's who she got her wig on?
But it would be funny if all the time she had a wig on.
Nigga, please, y'all jilt me.
I'm out.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up.
Now, we got rumors on the way.
We got to talk John Moran.
He sat down yesterday for a one-on-one interview.
With Jalen Rose.
That's right.
With the homie Jalen Rose.
And we'll break it down when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Why you looking at me like that, Ms. Pack?
You want to know why you start speaking in tongue all of a sudden.
Morning, everybody.
We are The Breakfast Club,
DJ Emi Charlamagne, the guy.
And of course, we got our co-host, Miss Pat.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk TikTok.
Rumor has it, rumor, rumor has it.
Call out a name,
or you gossiping,
or you chatty patty.
I am gossiping.
This is The Rumor Report.
I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.
This is where the tea spills, right?
Yes, on the breakfast club.
Now, the TikTok CEO, Xiaozi Chu, he talks about if his kids are actually on TikTok.
So you have two kids.
I do.
Do they use TikTok?
They're too young for that.
So what ages are they?
Eight and six.
Okay.
TikTok is, here in the US, if you're below the ages of, if you're below 13, you get a very restricted version of TikTok.
And in many other countries around the world, we don't allow users who are below 13.
I guess the question is, I know that you said it's a legal requirement that kids under 13 have to have a different app, effectively.
But I guess the question is, do they have to have an app at all?
Could you limit it so that the kids couldn't have access to it?
Is this something you'd ever think about?
The last time I checked, no.
The answer is no.
In terms of the legal requirement doesn't allow me to do this.
But I can get back to you on this.
So he said there's a TikTok version that allows kids 13 and under,
and his kids are not on that version either.
I've heard damn near every owner of a social media app say that.
And, you know, the creators of the smartphones and all of those devices
your kids are addicted to, they all say they don't be letting their kids on them like that.
My kids don't have any of that.
Yeah, no, my kids don't have any of that.
They don't have a phone.
I have a 14-year-old with no phone.
I say, you got to do like I did when somebody grabbed your screen.
Cut it out, man.
He should have a phone.
14-year-old, he should have a phone.
He don't have a phone.
So what happens if there's an incident or something if he's out and about?
We get on the bus and I pick him up with my husband pick him up we did some they just i'm not into
all of that it is kind of crazy how we grew up in the 1900s with none of that stuff how do we even
get around payphone at least we used to print out maps and ride around like pirates map quest
before the iphone got you around with map quick right yeah you'd have to print it out and then
you have to know make a left at the McDonald's,
and you've got to make a right at this restaurant or this motel or hotel.
And then you knew landmarks.
You knew landmarks.
That's how somebody say it.
It's going to be a mailbox with a red flag, and you're going to turn right by that mailbox.
You had to remember all of that.
That was back when people were reading.
Yes, that's very true.
We don't have to read anymore.
That's very true.
I mean, y'all don't date.
You're married.
But you ever talk to somebody, and they be talking in their phone,
and then you get there, and they don't talk nothing like what they just text messages.
You like, ain't no way in the hell you text me that.
So, you know, I got a brother-in-law that can't read, but text really well because of
the voice.
Remember when you used to have to remember phone numbers?
Yeah.
I can remember all phone numbers from when I was a kid.
Me too.
Grandma phone number, mama phone number.
Auntie phone number.
Wife phone number.
Cause she been together 25 years. Her house number. Yeah. My wife's house number too. Grandma phone number, mama phone number. Auntie phone number. Wife phone number because we've been together 25 years.
Her house number.
Yeah, my wife's house number too.
Man.
You don't have to remember
any of that.
So our brain cells
are dying now.
So that's why I don't
give the kids a phone.
And literally my daughter
let them play about
on the weekend,
maybe an hour or two.
And then that's it.
Really?
How you know them kids
that brain cells ain't dying
just because of your kids?
Huh?
Them ain't my kids. I didn't have know them kids that brain cell ain't dying just because of your kids? Huh? Them ain't my kids.
I didn't have that.
If they brain cell dead, they mama was smoking crack.
That's why they brain cell dead.
So don't put that on me.
I didn't smoke no drugs with my kids.
And they brain still die because I got impregnated in the graveyard.
But keep going.
What?
Well, John Morant, he had a conversation, a one-on-one with Jalen Rose yesterday.
And they spoke about him being in the club with that gun.
And Jalen Rose asked him if the gun was his.
You're at the spot, Shotgun Willies.
I've been there.
You are holding a gun.
And we both know how dangerous that can be.
Whose gun were you holding?
The gun wasn't mine.
It's not who I am.
I don't condone any type of violence.
But I take full responsibility for my actions.
I made a bad mistake.
And I can see the image that I painted over myself with my recent mistakes.
But in the future, I'm going'm sure everybody who John really is you
know what I'm about and no changes
narrative
well he was rehearsed like it was
never use that you're getting in trouble
and the white this is what you gonna go trouble and them white people tell you what to say.
This is what you're going to go out there and say.
Don't you get off the script.
Don't you get off the script at all.
That's not who I am.
Salute to Jado.
The young man is holding himself accountable.
He's apologizing.
You got to get a young brother some grace, man.
Absolutely.
You got to get a young brother some grace.
I mean, he didn't hurt nobody.
I mean, he's young.
That's what happens when you give young people money.
They want to have fun too quick.
I say it all the time.
Stop giving the young folks all this money and put it in the back end and let them work real hard.
I just don't understand why
certain people in the culture
think that violence
or pretending to be violent
is considered fun.
It's tough. Forget the girls. It's been going on for a long time. It's been going on since the 90s. Everybody want to be violent is considered fun it's tough forget the girls nobody wants
going on for a long time that's been going on since the 90s everybody want to be hardcore
everybody won't be nobody wants a man who wear glasses look like they read it is but we were all
you know victim to that you were yes i was you were dugged out i did a lot of stupid stuff no

stuff like i used to back in the day when I was DJing a club I used to carry
a little to to in my shoe to get in the club and stupid stuff like this to to
lose so good he's supposed to put the deuce deuce between his butt cheeks
without the pleasure I never said that you run around with a bitch gun. That's the gun Della Reese had in her apartment.
You got it right here

Who would you go
shoot yourself?
Don't you ever

Back in the day.
Don't say that.
You used to do that.
Because they pat you down when you go to the club.
And that's the only one that can fit in the shoe.
You had the deuce deuce in the Mary J. Blige real love boots.
The boots that Mary J. Blige wore in the real love video.
Envy had the deuce deuce in them.
I used to call it back and they'd go off me.
Stop.
Stop.
Just say you had a 45.
You got to be tougher than that.
I can't fit a 45 in my ass.
Pull your pants and play like all of that was a part of your pants.

news now we got tez figaro on the line figaro the hood whisperer now first i want to start
off with kareem abdul-jabbar you know know he sold his NBA championship rings for $2.8 million in an auction.
Not bad.
That ain't nothing wrong with that.
I mean, the reality is, what's the point of holding on to them?
And when you bought out of here, right?
That's exactly what he said.
According to ESPN, Jabbar's four championship rings and other memorabilia were up for auction and what I love about this story
such a feel-good story to me is because he actually took the proceeds to donate
it to his sky hook foundation in an effort to help kids who are interested
in science math engineering and technology he went on to say that when
it comes to choosing between us storing a championship ring or trophy in a room
or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives,
he said that the choice was pretty simple.
He also went on to say, looking back on what he's done in his life,
instead of gazing at the sparkle of jewels or gold-plated things that he did a long time ago,
he says that he wants to make sure that he's impacting kids.
He says that he no longer is personally attached to those items and he wants to create new history for himself and the future of others by the stuff
this was really you know a dope story to talk about how he um you know gave all of that uh away
giving it to the kids and actually being able to see uh the fruit that he's bearing that's real
because those rings are just symbols of something they can never take away from them anyway you know
what i mean?
So why not use that capital
to help people?
I think we all like that
in certain ways.
I know I'm a hoarder
of a bunch of stuff
but that's because
I ain't never had nothing
so I don't want to
ever throw away things
that I ain't never had nothing.
I mean,
well,
I don't have no trophies
so I guess I got
old purses on me.
You don't have any trophies
for your TV show.
I'm surprised.
You know, I don't know if you saw all of them or what he saw
because I would still want something to get to my kids so my kids can have so
they can get their grandkids you know something that gives that money pass
that capital down well you get it to play that way too he gave it to charity
charity what would be the most you would buy for something like that like for
your favorite player one of the former Cowboys Charlemagne would you break
bread and spend I think one thing went
for like $60,000. No,
I wouldn't.
If I went to play, I wouldn't want it.
But you're saying forget them kids, even if it went to charity?
Nope. I got a Dallas Cowboys football at the house
that all of them signed, like Dak Prescott.
I got a Tony Romo jersey signed. Karen Civil got me
that. But they don't mean nothing because they didn't
mean something to me, but I mean,
they're not worth nothing.
They're just for his pride.
They're not worth nothing.
Yeah.
I knew the Cowboys dig was coming.
That's why I threw it out there.
They put a wall.
Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, what's going on with Eric Adams?
He dancing.
Yes.
He got a hangover right now, just left the club.
Shut up, man.
Well, you said he left the club.
Well, on this particular story, he is pushing his Christianity hard.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, forget all of that First Amendment mess y'all talking about.
He said he is not separating church and state.
While he was attending an interfaith breakfast at the New York Public Library, he said in a speech that he walks and talks with the Lord and he will always be a child of God.
He said he claimed he said he cannot separate his religious beliefs from him being mayor.
I mean, flat out said it.
In fact, he told the audience that don't tell me to separate church and state because state is the body.
Church is the heart.
And if you take the heart out the body, the body dies.
He said, I cannot separate my belief because i'm an elected official he said that when he puts
policies in place uh he does it with a god-like approach uh he said he's always a child of god
he will not apologize for that and then he went on to say uh when we took prayer out of schools
that is when the guns came in now that can be debated but that is his position and so i guess
maybe that explains why he why he is going full
old testament on his tough on crime so even though he was in front of religious leaders a lot of
people objected to it and said that he needs a refresher on the first amendment question test
have you ever met a godly politician like seriously like when you when when we read scripture and we
see how they be out here governing have you ever really met a godly politician? I have.
Depends on what day.
Depends on what audience they're talking to.
He over there talking crap getting that money.
Have you ever met one Taz, a godly politician?
Well, you know, even if they are, the bottom line is when you swear in,
it's not about your personal ideology or your personal soul.
People got to figure it out. Do you want to, just like we talked about in the other hour,
do you want people to push their personal ideology
or do you want them to stick to the Constitution?
So you can't pick and choose.
So even if he was godly or the worst sinner on earth,
you are sworn in to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
Shout out to all my veterans in the building.
You know, I'm a veteran.
So it's not about whether he's godly or not.
First Amendment says separate church and state, and that's just what it is. and if you don't want to separate it then go to the pulpit that's real because because it could the same could be
for people who like are white supremacists you don't want them bringing that ideology
absolutely and they do and they pick and choose you know what when they when they're gonna be a
christian when they're not gonna be a christ. And so it just muddies the water.
I'm never a Christian.
It costs too much.
It costs too much to be a Christian.
You go to church, every time you stand up, they pass a collection plate.
So I just quit.
Every time you talk, I say I'm going to pray for Ms. Pat.
I'm going to stop now.
You're going to stop now.
I'm going to stop.
Hey, salute to you too, Taz.
Taz is getting an award tonight, man. You're getting the Champion of Change Award from the UCLA Black Law Student Association, right?
Yes, I am.
Congratulations.
Black girl, man.
Drop a bomb for Taz.
I think that speech is going to be fire.
Yeah, and I just want to thank you guys for allowing me to sit up here this week.
I always, you know, Charlamagne, I'm a very spiritual person.
I'm a sinner, but I'm a very spiritual person, and I believe everything happens for a reason. And I just wanted to inspire
everybody just for a second. If you can hear the sound of my voice, you may be driving into a job
that may not align with your purpose. And I just want you to know to keep driving, keep pushing.
I've done it all from Uber driving, sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, selling shoes, you name
it. I've been on the bottom. I've been on the top.
My daddy, my mother, my brother, most of my immediate family is in the ground.
No one has put me in this business.
In fact, I've been put out of more rooms than I've been put in. And so I will be accepting this award tonight on the third month, on the 16th day.
My mother died in the third month in 2016 so that is confirmation to me that my guardian angel is
saying i have a testimony in my tests i believe that it is uh definitely orchestrated that i've
been here with you all week long listening to miss pat's story and how your girl done made it so
shout out to all my my survivors out there that got it out the mud know that i see you i'm listening
and this is for us.
Tesla Figaro, y'all.
Make sure y'all subscribe to the Scraped Shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, too.
Congratulations, Tes.
Absolutely.
Girl, you just gave me chills.
That's right.
Hey.
And don't stay out too late because we need you tomorrow morning.
Right.
I'm on West Coast time, y'all, so it's like 3 a.m. here.
All right. Well, thank you so much, 3 a.m. here. All right.
Well, thank you so much, Taz.
Thank you.
All right.
When we come back, we're going to be kicking it with John Legend.
John Legend will be joining us.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God.
We're brothers.
We're happy and we're singing and we're covered.
Well, at least I am.
The verdict's still out on Envy.
I'm black.
Give me a high five. The verdict's still out on Envy. I'm black! Give me a high five!
The Breakfast Club.
Power 105.1.
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. We got our co-host this week, Miss Pat, joining us.
And we got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
John Legend, welcome.
It's good to be back, fellas.
How you feeling, Miss Pat?
Good to see you.
I don't know why John Legend don't say my name, Charlemagne.
I'm trying to figure out, has John been in since he won the EGOT?
Has he?
Oh, of course.
Yeah, he was.
Yes, he won the EGOT like a few years ago.
Yeah, I've been back.
But not because it was COVID. Oh, maybe on't know. I don't remember. He got like a few years ago. Yeah, I've been back. But not because it was COVID.
Oh, maybe on Zoom.
Zoom.
Zoom.
Got you, got you, got you.
Charlamagne ain't too cute on Zoom.
Man, shut up.
Extra black on Zoom.
They got a lot of filters on Zoom.
You can play with it.
Light it up a little bit.
How's the family?
Congratulations.
How's the family doing?
Everybody's good.
We got, you know, three kids now.
It's good. You know, do you hate seeing every time i watch million dollar listing la they always reference
you in your house and your old house some way i don't like that they keep saying our names and
rihanna lived at that same house too and we already sold it and then they're trying to sell
it again but we ain't got nothing to do with it now. Every show, it was like, yeah, that's the house that
John Legend used to serenade Chrissy on.
That's the house where they had to come. I'm like, this is weird.
That house been going. Yeah, we don't
live there anymore and we're not trying to sell it.
Somebody else is, but they're using our name plenty.
How you look so refreshed with a newborn in the house,
man? Well, are you segwaying to
my loved one's skincare?
I might have to use
some of that
if he's got you
looking after him.
Charlamagne,
ain't nothing you can do
to look this up.
Shut up, this guy.
I'm sorry.
Even if he rubbed
his eye on you.
We do have a new skincare line.
We do have a new skincare line
and, you know,
it's formulated
for melanin-rich skin
and the focus
is really on moisture.
So, if I'm looking moisturized.
And it's called Loved 01?
Loved 1.
Loved 1.
Yeah.
Loved 1.
What made you want to go down that lane?
Well, you know, I've been working in skincare doing deals with other brands.
And I was like, why not start my own?
And I didn't want to start it unless we had a real reason for it to exist.
When we started doing the research on the business, we realized that there's a lot of black and brown folks that wants skin care that's actually formulated for us.
That's right.
And that takes into consideration the unique differences that our skin has.
And there weren't very many companies that was actually doing that.
And so we said, why not create it?
Not only did we want to create it and formulate it for us, but we wanted to make sure everybody could afford it, too.
So we're selling everything for $15 or less right now.
We're selling it at CVS and Walmart, places where people shop.
And so we're like, why make this a celebrity skincare brand that only celebrities and their friends can afford?
Make it so that everybody can afford it and formulate it for a population that's been underserved and hasn't been catered to in this business.
What can Ms. Pat put on our hands right now?
We got some good moisturizer.
If you ask me, we got moisturizer, we got oil. business. What can Ms. Pat put on her hands right now? We got some good moisturizer. Hey, Lil Ash.
We got moisturizer.
We got oil. Oh, Lord have mercy.
You rubbed my hands, Ash.
Let me tell you what happened. Ms. Pat put the wrong one on her
hands. Ms. Pat put the exfoliation in her
hands.
Oh, Lord. Let me rub it on now.
Yeah, there you go.
You're running your black mouth.
You'll never look good as John Legend.
So don't you buy no.
The moisturizer's really good, and the oil's really good.
Oh, this is nice.
It's creamy.
Rich.
It's very creamy.
Rich and creamy.
Come on, let me put some on your lips.
The fact is, we got jokes, but the fact is, black and brown people actually lose moisture
more quickly than lighter skin.
And so when we talk about being ashy, like, that's a real thing.
And we're more likely to be ashy because we lose moisture more quickly.
And so a lot of our products are focused on moisture and hydration.
Yeah, I was getting a facial yesterday, and she was telling me that you have to put a serum in your face because your face, I never heard this term, but she said your face drinks.
And the serum actually is what hydrates your face because your face i never heard this term but she said your face drinks and the serum actually is what hydrates you your face yeah and you're finding different ways to protect your skin
barrier and moisturize hydrate it's good is product the only way for artists to create
generational wealth i think it's a combination i make a lot of money playing live i make a lot
of money on my music but i think having product allows you to make money without having to be
out doing a show all the time
You know
So it gives you the ability to create wealth that can build and can be generational because these products can outlive you they can be
In stores forever and we're trying to build a brand that people really trust and will
Make a part of their daily routine that they're gonna be buying for decades to come after I'm gone. Are you tired entertainment?
No, I love it.
Okay.
I love making music.
I'm always writing, always recording.
I just put an album out in September,
put another solo version of the album out in February,
and I'm going to keep making music, keep playing shows.
That's always going to be my first love.
I think it'll be my main job for the rest of my life.
I guess a better question, are you tired of being the main product? Are you tired of having to get up and go do the physical work in order to make?
I feel like I can diversify.
Honestly, I think that's what I'm doing is making it so it's not all riding on me being present every moment.
And I'm always going to make music, always going to do shows.
But this allows me to diversify.
Now, you know, with artists selling their catalogs, you sold your catalog.
I sold a piece of my publishing.
What made you think to do that? Because I've seen so many people selling their catalogs you saw your catalog i saw a piece of my publishing yeah what made you think to do that
because i've seen so many people selling their catalogs there because a lot of times people say
you know what i'm gonna keep my catalog so i can continue to eat and my kids continue to eat but
you but it's diversification too because what you're doing is saying you're letting this other
company invest in this piece of your business and then you're saying i'm gonna take that cash they
give me and invest in other things and so for me it makes it so you're not completely relying on the ups and downs of the music industry but you're saying i'm gonna take
some of this money and invest it in other things and that's what i did did you break that down a
little bit more because you know when black people tend to do things like that people be like oh you
selling your catalog you gotta have ownership like but white artists do it i'm watching all the white
artists selling plenty of people are doing it and and honestly i did it at a time when i felt like they were offering a high premium when it comes to the
multiple so basically the multiple is they see what you're making per year and they offer you
something x times that per year amount for your catalog and i felt like the multiple they were
offering me was very generous i was going to take that cash and invest it in different things so it
wasn't all relying on my music career to make the money what are they doing with the music like what's the what's the
upside for them basically they're doing the same thing we were doing before they're getting it
placed in movies uh the the regular revenue of it streaming all the other uh money you bring in from
your catalog they're just taking that money in and so they're taking a bet that maybe they can
find ways to grow it beyond what it was you know normally getting that's a bet that they took and i figured let
them take that bet on my music and then i'm gonna take this cash they give me and bet on other things
i have one question is this this shower chair is it unisex yeah everything's unisex oh good yeah
so it's face and body wash face and body moisturizer shave cream everything's unisex
formulated for for melanin-rich skin.
What are you going to use it on your son?
I'm going to use it on me, the place that's hidden.
You're going to love it.
You're going to love it.
I'm sick of him.
No, you said you had washed your son or you had to fight this.
I'm going to use it.
I just want to make sure I ain't putting nothing smelling like no man down there between me and this thing, too.
Only two of the products even have a light scent, but both of the scents are very natural,
and it's definitely unisex.
You're not going to smell mannish.
And you know what?
You got some shaving cream here, and I ain't going to.
Everybody needs a shave, too.
I be growing them whiskers down now, so I'm going to use some of that, too.
Hey, when you're over 50, this is for us, too, ladies, because I get chest hair sometimes.
And the thing about shaving, you know, and all the other things we do to our skin,
it can strip the skin.
It can make it feel dry.
And everything we do is focused on moisture and hydration.
This lotion is nice.
So the shave cream is going to be nice too.
You're going to like it.
Oh, Lord, have mercy.
Now you can shave in style, Ms. Pat.
Ms. Pat, don't fight him.
No.
You can't say you get the whiskers.
You know what?
No.
Ms. Pat, don't fight him.
All right, we got more with John Legend.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got our co-host, Miss Pat, joining us today.
And we got John Legend in the building.
You ever look back and think about some of the moves you made and when people challenged
those moves back then and then it all unfolds and they'd be like, you've seen the vision.
Like, I'm just thinking of Kanye West, right? and when you first decided you know this is not where i
want to go this is not the route and people were like you're crazy he's this he's a genius and you
should stay there and you decided to take your own lane and then you see how it unfolds well those
same people kind of follow what you did all of these decisions though there were people in my
camp that didn't want me to sign with kanye when I signed with him because I signed with good music and I signed through good music to Columbia Records.
So all of my first few albums were through good music to Columbia Records.
And you give up certain things when you sign to an artist production company.
But I felt like it was the right move for me because creatively we were in a great place together and his star was ascending as a producer and as an artist and i
felt like being part of that team was gonna propel my career to a place that it needed to be and it
did it and it was really important for me to be with good music for my first few albums my career
wouldn't be what it is without that and then when it's time to move on it's time to move on but we
had a really successful run together you make these decisions and you know hindsight is 2020 and everything looks good now it's like everything worked out
it's all good but at the time you know it's complicated and it's difficult making these
decisions and you're not sure if it's going to work out and you like to think that you you know
you can foresee the future and you can plan ahead but you never know how it's going to work out but
it worked out what are some of the things you give up when you sign to an artist company well you give up a piece
of your revenue so but the bottom line is with any of these deals you're like would i rather have
100 of a smaller amount or 50 or 60 of a larger amount and so you got to do the math and say is
it worth me signing with somebody giving up a portion of my revenue are we going to grow the pie together and make something bigger that we all can share together
did they have any concerns about you being r b and him being hip-hop like no i think it actually made
it so i had my own lane within good music it made it so that you know i wasn't really competing with
the other rappers that he had signed i was in my own lane but why did you leave the voice uh i
didn't really leave the boys i I just am not doing this season,
but I'll be back.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
So you just take a break?
We're having a kid.
There's a lot going on.
He was tired of hitting that bell.
Tired.
Turn it around for these seconds.
So it was like paternity leave?
Paternity leave.
I mean, it would be kind of deceitful to say I'm really taking a full paternity leave
because I'm doing plenty of work during this time.
But I'm doing a little less work.
And it was a perfect time to take a break.
And, you know, it was Blake's last season.
Let him have his moment.
I love Blake.
Blake is my guy.
He tweeted me one day, I almost fainted.
I was like, you know me?
People were buying checks.
That wasn't him. That wasn't him.
That wasn't him,
Miss Pat.
What do you think
about the current state of R&B?
I know one time
Diddy said R&B is dead
and this conversation
has been going on and on
for the last couple of months.
What's your vision of R&B?
It's not dead.
I feel like there's
a lot of great artists
making great music.
I was just on Spotify
listening to music
in the car today
and a lot of it was R&B
and a lot of it was current
and a lot of it was dope.
And I feel like there's so many really good artists making R&B.
And no, it's definitely not that.
Who does John Legend listen to?
I was listening to SZA today.
I was listening to Summer Walker.
I was listening to Daniel Caesar.
I was listening to her.
I was listening to Frank Ocean.
I was listening to, I mean, we could have some new Frank.
That would be great.
Leon Bridges. Did you listen to John Legend? I mean, we could have some new Frank. That'd be great. Leon Bridges.
Did you listen to John Legend?
I mean, occasionally I listen to myself.
Okay.
But most of the time I'm focused.
Like when I'm making the album, I listen to it all the time.
And I'm like tweaking, getting it exactly right.
And then once it's out, then, you know, I let it be out.
But my kids actually love it.
And so they'll ask me to play it in the car a lot.
So I end up listening to myself in the car with my kids when I take them to school dang i can't do that with my kids i curse
in my comedy i got like an occasional curse word in my songs and so we just try to ignore that and
my daughter will laugh she said dad you said a bad word but you know keep moving do you
intentionally put out an album every two years because i'm not exactly intentionally but i'm
like i'm intentionally creative so i like to schedule time in the studio i like to when i'm off tour actually actively make
time to make new music and by the time you know i do that for like six or nine months it's time to
put another album out because i got enough material for it is there any song that you created that you
just can't stand anymore but like i hate performing it i hate doing it no i mean i have enough songs that i don't have to play any song i don't like really
and there's none of my popular songs that my fans want to hear that i don't like to play okay what
was it like touring with shah day incredible i loved it honestly it was like a master class
every night she's just an incredible performer her mystique just everything about her she just
she seems so mythical like yeah not even a real person like did you see her mystique just everything about her she just seems so mythical like yeah
not even a real person like did you see her and she just disappears like the last tour was the
one we did together and that was 2011 wow wow it's 2023 she has she's chilling she's chilling
even then did you interact with her though we did and she was super cool like you would honestly you'd be intimidated
by her mystique but in person she was very chill and she had her family along on the tour and all
of her people were really kind to my people which isn't always the case when you go on tour with
somebody else who's the headliner they were all super like kind and interactive with my musicians
and my band we just had a great time on tour with them.
But if the headliner didn't want you, they could just say that, right?
Man, early in my career, I've been part of tours where the headliner would do things like
make sure your decibel level was lower and control your stage position.
You can't have a band, or you can only have a little band, because they got to get on.
And then once I started having opening artists, I remembered remembered that and i never would do that to them yeah i never
would do that to them i was always i would always give them what i felt like was the proper shine
and i never was scared that they was going to upstage me i was just like let's give these
people a great show that includes the opening act having a great show too was it difficult
opening up for somebody because you can do these tours on your own but now you actually have to open up for somebody
was that it was actually kind of easy because doing two hour shows is a lot and doing a 45
minute show is very comfortable so those artists that fronted on you like that back in the day
now that you're the e-guide winner do you hold that against them like i don't honestly i'm i'm good i'm i'm happy my career is great i've
done very well and had wonderful tours like i'm not gonna worry about small things that
happened at the beginning of my career i got a question you ever get on stage and be singing
and then forget your lyrics oh yeah oh because that happened to me too oh yeah of course y'all
let me remember that joke yeah i'm tired of you comparing yourself to John Legend. I'm not. Yeah, I don't know why.
We're both world-class performers.
What are you talking about?
He is a hater.
They got no talent.
So what do you do?
You start humming?
Sometimes I'll actually laugh about it, because I honestly think fans like having those human
moments in the show.
Yes, that's all I'm saying.
It makes them human.
Sometimes I'll be like, well, I f***ed that up.
Excuse me.
And I'll just be like,
well, I messed that up
and started it over.
And the fans love it
because they get a real moment.
Because they don't want you
to be perfect
and they don't want you
to be lip syncing
and all that.
They want you to be a human.
That's why they come to the show.
Like, if they want to listen
to the record,
they can listen to the record.
All right, well, keep it locked.
We got more with John Legend
when we come back.'s the breakfast club good morning
good morning everybody it's dj envy charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our
co-host miss pat joining us today and we got john legend in the building charlemagne how'd you come
up with the name loved one for the for the loved one my team came up with it obviously i put love
into a lot of what i do my wine is called lve um a bunch of my music
is of course love music and i felt like when you think about that skincare ritual it's about
self-love but it's also something you share with the people you love and so we felt like that name
would be dope we made it kind of different with the kind of raised oh and the one some people say
loved oh one and we got to correct them but once they learn what it is loved one just you know rolls off the tongue how long does it take for you to like get all of
that together like you have to go these different products yeah we started like a year and almost a
year and a half ago and so we started with the idea that this needed to exist uh that there was
a gap in the market that melanated skin wasn't being paid attention to. And if you look at the actual policy that goes into it, the FDA doesn't even require
you to test on any shades darker than white, basically.
No.
Yeah, they don't actually require you to test on it.
So if you're testing efficacy, you don't have to test it on brown and black skin.
When it comes to dermatology, the dermatologists don't even have to learn about the conditions that
brown and black skin are more likely to face. And you look in their textbooks, they're not even
seeing pictures of our skin. Absolutely. And so there's a big gap in skincare when it comes to
thinking about the different needs that melanated skin has. And so we figured there's a real
opportunity here to create something special that our people can use confidently,
knowing that we put a lot of care and research into developing it for us and then making it affordable for everybody.
Now, it makes all the sense in the world because, you know, we always say that black people love the skin you're in.
But how about take care of it, too?
Take care of it.
And we want to give people the opportunity to take care of their skin in a beautiful way that's effective, but also affordable.
And that's why we wanted it available everywhere. Av cbs walmart for me ten dollars fifteen dollars for everything
that's affordable now the oscars dinner party yes did you know it was gonna be boring that's
why y'all bought the uno cards we were like it was like our insurance in case it was boring but
it was not boring what's the biggest y'all pulled them out we had a good table no we didn't actually
end up playing we just had it we just had them with us just pulled them out We had a good table No we didn't actually End up playing We just had them
We just had them with us
Just in case
Yeah
We had a good table
Gabby Union
D-Wade
Queen Latifah
Kevin Bacon
I should have put some spades
I know
We could have had some spades
Going too
But yeah
We had a good table
We had a good time
Oh so the conversation
Okay I get what you're saying
So the conversation was good
So there was no need to
We didn't actually end up playing
They might have played
After we left
Because we left Right after dessert, because we both
had to fly east on a red eye.
I don't know if they played after we left.
Maybe they needed it after we left, you know, because we got the energy.
Did you see the list that they put out?
Rolling Stone did a greatest singers list.
Did you see that list?
Yeah.
What did you think about the list?
He's laughing.
He's laughable.
I don't understand their criteria it was like it was a lot of people left
off leave aside the fact that i was left off but you were left over there was a lot of other people
left off i'm like it didn't really make sense but i feel like they just uh somebody call them
the trolling stone and uh i feel like they just wanted to spark conversation and be a little bit controversial,
and they were controversial.
Did you hear Aretha Franklin's comments
on some of the singers on there?
Aretha Franklin's dead.
That's not Aretha Franklin.
I was about to say, keep that in, please.
Oh, Lord.
If you heard her comments, Jesus Christ.
Have mercy.
I was like, what did she say?
You got a seance.
Aretha is a bad mama-jama.
She is a queen.
She came back and told us what she thought.
A lot of comments, yeah.
We want to hear what Rita Franklin said.
Don't tell us anything.
What was you thinking about?
You think when you mix up.
What was on the black?
That was a patty.
Patty.
No, it wasn't.
Wow. I didn't say no. It wasn't Chaka either. What was with Vlad that was going on and all the singers? Patty. No, it wasn't. Wow.
No, it wasn't Chaka either.
Who was it?
Chaka Khan was on Vlad.
She was on something else.
Stephanie Mills was on Vlad.
Oh, Stephanie Mills.
Chaka was on something else.
Who he scared of?
The thing is,
what is your criteria?
Is it actual pure vocal ability?
Because there are definitely
people on that list.
They're not,
I wouldn't call them great singers,
but they're very successful artists.
And so are you basing it on their vocal ability?
Are you basing it on just their pure success
as a lead artist?
And then, you know,
there's different ways to make that list.
And it just seemed like it was all over the place.
I hate when they bring success into it. success money accolades like let's just talk about raw talent like even when it comes to
the rap when it comes to the singing but it's like but you know there's a there's an argument
for that too like if you're talking about football you talk about tom brady as the goat you're not
saying he's the most purely talented quarterback you're saying he won the most championships he
had the most success at what he was doing in football.
And so there's an argument to make a most successful list,
but if you're going to call it the greatest singers,
I feel like they should be good singers.
I agree.
It was according to who wrote the list and who was hearing it.
Yeah.
I don't think anybody but singers can make those lists,
and I don't think anybody but rappers should be able to make
the rap list. Did you see the Billboard
hip-hop list? What did you think of that? I mean, it wasn't
terrible. I thought it was more...
It was less controversial than
the singing list. I thought it was too early for
some people. I think it's too early to put Kendrick
Lamar at number two. I love
Kendrick Lamar, but it's too early
to put him at number two. How many albums is he in now?
It's like four? Yeah, but it's a decade.
Yeah.
Hip hop is, I think, for me, it's got to be at least 15 to 20 years.
Me, personally.
I just think he's never missed yet.
Yeah, he hasn't missed yet.
Kendrick has never missed, and his skill is impeccable.
His skill as an MC is impeccable, and he's never missed with an album or a tour.
Not even a video, really.
There's so many people you got to jump over to be number two.
I understand.
Nas.
I understand.
Who's your top five?
I think Jay is number one.
I agree with that.
After that, I think it gets difficult because I think it mixes a lot of different factors.
But I think Kendrick should be in the conversation because he literally is that great and he's and you just compare his raw mc ability against any rapper of any era and he's right there
he's in my top five now let me ask you a question a rapper that doesn't write his own is he in that
list but who are we who are we saying is not writing their own because it was times it was
kanye it was times it was drake there was times it was a couple people. But that's all rumors.
I mean,
I never saw Kanye
being ghostwritten
and I've been in the studio
with him a lot.
He writes.
I'm not saying he's written
every single thing,
but I never saw him
being ghostwritten.
I've seen guys in the room
like bouncing ideas around,
but Kanye is a writer.
So who's your top five?
I've never been in the studio
with Drake,
so I have no, I can't testify.
So while you said Kendrick should be in that,
Jay? I'm going to say Nas.
I'm going to say Biggie.
Anybody from the South?
Honestly, I would put Andre
in my top five.

good morning
morning everybody
it's DJ
NV Charlamagne
the guy we are
the breakfast club
our co-host
Miss Pat is here
let's get to the rumors let's talk young MA through my hazard through my through my hazard I am Steve J. Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Our co-host, Ms. Pat, is here.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Young M.A.
Rumor has it.
Rumor.
Rumor has it.
Call out her name or you gossiping or you chatty patty.
I am gossiping.
This is The Rumor Report.
I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.
This is where the tea spills, right?
Right.
On The Breakfast Club.
Now, Young M.A.'s health was concerning to a lot of people.
Her barber posted a picture of her getting a haircut. And in the footage,
you can see that they believe
she was slurring her speech a little bit
and her eyes were very yellow.
Usually when your eyes are yellow,
it's a sign of jaundice or liver disease.
So people were concerned.
And she left this note on her Instagram.
She says,
as many of my supporters know,
I've been dealing with various
personal health issues
the last couple of years.
I recently was hospitalized and was successfully treated for several conditions.
I'm doing better now.
We'll take some time, but I'm on the road to recovery and look forward to the future.
I'm in good spirits and everything will be explained in the music plus documentary.
Love y'all.
Don't worry.
I'm good.
Bless up, MA.
I wish her much more good health absolutely i hope she gets
better for whatever she's dealing with and when i hear stuff like that i'll be like that ain't
nobody's business but i guess it is if you post online and then people see you and then they got
questions you don't have to explain yourself right i guess you feel the need to but we haven't seen
ma in a while too so when people see i'm sure they're excited because they're expecting new
music and then when they see her, they're just concerned.
I felt the same way when I saw Abbie Shore.
Yeah.
I was like, what is the real room with Abbie Shore?
And he came out and he had some health problems.
I'm glad he well now.
You still cute, Abbie Shore.
Yeah, I'll be definitely.
He bounced back very well.
I forgot what it was, though.
I forgot what he was dealing with.
But, yes, salute to everybody dealing with health issues, man.
That's why I don't post nothing.
If I post something, it's me on the toilet letting you know I'm letting it go.
But, see, it's different with you, Ms. Pat.
If you ever post up and you done lost weight, people are going to know something wrong.
Charlemagne, this is my last day.
I will headbutt you.
I will headbutt you.
That's not what I was trying to say.
And make you cross-eyed for the rest of your life.
Help me, IMV.
God, we can jump him if you want.
Whatever you want to jump him.
Remember that little two-shooter you had?
That little two-tooth?
Deuce, deuce, and the boots.
We can shoot him with the two-tooth?
Deuce, deuce, and the boots.
Now, 50 Cent.
You see, never owe 50 money.
Never.
Never steal from 50.
Never.
You just don't want those problems.
What was the problem well his former brand manager of one of his liquor companies uh was found guilty of embezzling
upwards of two million dollars from the branson company well 50 took him to court and is now
suing him he was cleared earlier this month to start collecting on a 6.2 million dollar debt
and that man ain't got it he He asked that man for his house.
He said, I'm going to epoxy your floor.
So 50 is allegedly taking the guy's house.
As he should.
All his assets, including bank accounts and cars.
50, I just want to tell you, the car show is coming up.
So if he got some cool cars, we can use it from the car show.
That's what happens when you sue somebody
and they don't have the money to pay you when you win.
So 50 posted a picture of the gentleman's house
and said, I need you out of my house by Monday.
I think I'm going to put
some epoxy floors
in this place.
I'm going to keep it
and his family pictures around
so you know as a theme
for the place.
Dropping a Clues Bond
for 50 cents.
I don't see nothing wrong
with you.
Leave that man alone.
When 50 sued that lady
for $20,000
and would not leave her alone,
I'm scared of 50.
I think it was less than that.
I don't remember.
He had an interest.
He had an interest, yeah.
I think originally it was like a $2,000
and then interest and everything.
Gave him the $20,000.
I don't even think she paid him before yet.
He's still calculating.
The bigger issue is that man stole $6 million from 50 Cent.
Right?
How much was it?
A bunch of $2 million.
Come on, man.
Come on. Come on. I need my money. He wanted a $6.5 million dollar house he should be in jail he didn't go to jail he white
oh he white okay and i didn't say he went to jail but uh 50 getting his money back
and lastly we got to talk about whoopi goldberg now she apologized for some things she said on
the view and people are saying well maybe she didn't need to apologize this is what she said on the view the people who still believe that he got you know gypped somehow in the election will still believe
that he cared enough about his wife you know to to pay that money from his personal thing but i
just don't understand now she said the term gypped now as a kid and growing up we just thought
gyp was uh being cheated defrauded or swindled even if you look in the dictionary that's what
it means well i guess it's offensive to some people and she apologized you know when you're
a certain age you use words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying and
that's what i did today and
i shouldn't have stopped i should have thought about it a little longer stop before i said it
but i didn't and i should have said cheated and i used another word and i'm really really sorry
she could have said cheated but guess what she said jipped and there should be no problem with
that because we got to stop acting like words can't have more than one meaning why do we act
like context doesn't matter you know what i mean and these folks don't understand our culture okay
until yesterday i didn't know gypped meant anything else other than somebody cheating that is true and
she said i have to start thinking about the words but but thinking about it how because i would have
never thought gypped mean anything but cheated us window it really means that i gotta stop being
black on national tv that's all it is because she was just being black yeah national TV. That's all it is.
Because she was just being black.
I mean, that's what we grew up.
I mean, I'm 50 and Whippin might be 60-something.
And who didn't grow up
hearing that word?
Maybe these new people,
these new kids,
but that word has never been
offensive to anybody.
And we can broaden it
and say, yes, she's black,
but it's in the dictionary.
It's in the dictionary.
So if I'm using a word
that's in the dictionary
in the proper context, how are you going to act like I'm using a word that's in the dictionary in the proper context, how are you going to
act like I'm being offensive to people?
Well, what is the proper content then?
What happened now?
It's the context.
Content.
What?
That's what's past.
Context.
Context.
Proper context.
Context.
Context.
You know what I mean?
She used the word in the proper context.
She did.
Well, they felt like she...
That's what I'm asking you.
What is their proper content for that word?
Oh, I don't know.
If it wasn't...
If she didn't use it right.
And it was so offensive.
But words can have more than one meaning.
And I'm tired of the word police, you know, policing people on the words that they use.
You know, they're making people take it out of songs when it doesn't mean anything else.
And it's getting to the point where, what can you say?
If you say anything, you're going to be scared to speak because they can try to catch you.
Can you still say seizure?
Huh?
Can we still say seizure? Yeah. What you mean? Like seizure?
Like taking a surgeon? Yeah, when he starts shaking. And then you put a fork in his
mouth. A spoon in his mouth. Depends on what context you're using. I don't know. In five
years, who knows what you're going to be able to say? Yeah, you can say seizure. And how come they don't ever try to cancel the dictionary?
They don't ever go after Merriam and Webster then? Uh-uh. Go after the Bible.
I care what y'all.
There's probably all
kind of stuff in the Bible
you can't say no more.
Well, let's talk about it
when we come back.
Please, let's talk about it.
850-585-1051.
We're talking Whoopi Goldberg.
Should she have to apologize?
Man, Whoopi should have said
SMD.
Suck my D.
That's what Whoopi should have said.
All right.
Whoopi ain't got now.
She got SMD.
They'll probably be
offended by that.
Yeah.
Yep. Well, you don't know what she identifies as. Boy, you better shut up. I'm justMP. They'll probably get offended by that. Yeah. Yep.
You don't know what she identifies as.
Boy, you better shut up.
I'm just joking, all right?
Boy, you better shut up.
Why you don't disrespect Whoopi Goldberg like that, man?
You don't know?
Do you?
Shut up, boy.
Do you?
Boy, shut up.

What?
Deuce-deuce in the boots.

Man.
I feel like I need to apologize.
You should apologize for that.

800-585-1051.

I was donkey up the deep.
Damn, the hee-haw again.
It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be donkey today no more they should be embarrassed by what they already did i'm not making these people do
these things called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard damn solomon who
got the donkey of the day today well just hilarious uh donkey of the day for thursday
march 16th goes to ma Marek Heko.
He is a 26-year-old British man who was sentenced to 26 years in prison for murder.
Yes, he's been found guilty of murder for stabbing 44-year-old Adrian Ellingford.
Now, let me tell you the story.
Adrian was piping his ex-girlfriend, man.
All right, let me explain.
Prosecutors said Marek was in a relationship with a young lady for seven months.
Only seven months.
And then they broke up in May because she didn't approve of his drug use.
But Marek continued to be obsessed over her.
Then the young lady started dating the other guy, Adrian, who was married with two sons ages 10 and 12.
Yes, he was cheating on his wife on the night.
OK, so on the night of the murder, Adrian was staying at the young lady's house.
So many violations happening in this situation cheating on your wife staying at your mistress's house overnight just terrible
rookie mistakes being made by a 44 year old grown-ass married man with kids but he was staying
at the young lady's house and he woke up in bed and he heard somebody in the house a short time
later after getting up to see what it was uh he came back in the bedroom collapsed on the floor
with a knife stuck in his back and he was pronounced dead at the scene from two stab wounds that's right uh marek heckle broke into the house while his ex was in bed with
this married man and he went and got a knife from the kitchen and according to the new york post
stabbed a man with such force that the blade struck a bone in the victim's chest and the handle of the
knife broke off jesus christ michael my it's friday the 13th he was playing Jason huh this is also why you have to take stalkers seriously okay
obsessed boyfriends there's nothing cute about this kind of behavior because
humans get possession possessive and they think that you belong to them
because this man was showing up at her job he was showing up at her house on
invited wouldn't stop sending her messages and videos all that only to end
up breaking in our house and killing the man she was sleeping with
now that's not even the sole reason he's getting donkey today the reason he's getting donkey today
is because of how he got caught i mean he would probably gotten caught anyway but he really handed
this one to the police in a chick-fil-a bag would you like to know how marek got caught well i want
to know the knife company the knife company oh because why? Because it broke off? No, it was sharp.
Oh, it was sharp?
He might have sharpened it himself.
A kitchen knife, though.
It went all the way through.
It did go all the way through.
It did go all the way through.
But the reason he got caught is because he told the police on himself.
Yes.
He came back to the scene of the crime to deliver a message.
What you are about to hear is Marique, the stabber, the murderer a murderer drunk after returning to the scene of the crime
let's listen what's your name i'm not gonna tell you my name i don't give a
because i know what happened and you need me to know figure it out what happened if you don't
have me you don't know what happened i just know that some guy come here and he f***ed up some guy.
I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. He just got f***ed.
So you think something's happened to a male in this address?
No, I know what happened. What happened then? Tell me what happened.
This city is mine. This city is yours, is it?
Yeah, this city's my.
That's a hell of a confession.
And what a sexy accent.
Have you ever had somebody drunk confess something to you in that way, Ms. Peck?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Tell us more.
My kid's father said, I gave you the crabs.
Well, your kid's father must have been drinking brandy like Marek Hecker was drinking brandy.
Jesus.
Okay.
Liquor gives you courage.
Some liquor makes you extremely honest.
Clearly, we know which one the brandy does.
Okay.
A drunk tongue is an honest one.
They say there's only three kinds of people that tell the truth.
I don't know if I believe all of them, but kids, they got to tell me what they call kids because my little seven-year-old be lying.
The angry, I believe that to a certain extent, but most times when you're angry, you're just
trying to hurt the person's feelings, so you say anything. And the drunk, I believe that to a certain extent, but most times when you're angry, you're just trying to hurt the person's feelings so you say anything.
And the drunk, I believe that wholeheartedly.
The drunk tell the truth, and you should never forget what someone says to you when they're drunk because drunk words are sober thoughts.
Please let Remy Ma give him a rec.
Echo the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
Now, how did you respond after your baby daddy said he gave you crab?
He gave me the shampoo. Oh, he gave you the shampoo.
Oh, see, that's sweet of him. Now, see, that's thoughtful.
Now, that's thoughtful now. That's thoughtful.
What's that? Drop on the clues behind for Miss Pat, baby daddy.
That's thoughtful. Give her the crabs.
Give her the crabs. Then give her the shampoo.
It was in 82. Everybody had crabs. Look at his face.
Look at his face.
My husband at home
like, I done told you about telling them horrible
stories.
My husband be like, stop
telling people your past because they
think I'm a part of your past and I'm not.
My husband meet people like
I did not shoot her in the chest. It was
not me.
I ain't gonna lie to you.
Your husband tell like, daddy was your husband, too.
Like, damn, your husband gave you crap.
No, no.
You said it was your baby daddy.
My husband is not my baby daddy.
I got two kids by him, too.
Oh, yeah, I never said it was your husband.
It was another piece of crap before him.
Go ahead, Ms. Patty.
Yeah.
That was in your script.
Not another piece of crap.
It was a piece of crap.
I mean, it was a piece of crap.
I'm sorry.
My husband's a good man.
I'm so glad.
I hope he's not this.
He was hitting in the shower when I called him.
I'm going to be jobless and unmarried by the time I leave here.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, when we come back, we got to talk Whoopi Goldberg.

We got our guest host, Miss Pat, with us.
And we're talking Whoopi Goldberg, all right?
Now, Whoopi Goldberg had to apologize yesterday for something she said on air, and this is
what she said.
The people who still believe that he got, you know, gypped somehow in the election. We'll still believe that he cared enough about his wife, you know, to pay that money from his personal thing.
But I just don't understand.
This was the apology.
You know, when you're a certain age, you use words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying.
And that's what I did today.
And I shouldn't
have i should have thought about it a little longer before i said it but i didn't and i
should have said cheated and i used another word and i'm really really sorry so we're asking should
she have to apologize no start with you miss pat what do you think i don't think you have to
apologize for being who you are i mean whoopi goldberg's in her six it does that's the term those they use that word back then and i
don't know why it's offensive everybody people just damn cry babies these days i'm with you i
don't think she should never apologize on the view yeah i mean and it's context like we said
earlier i mean she she used it talking about somebody being swindled that's the definition
in the dictionary.
So I don't think she should have to apologize.
Let me tell you something.
I had a great therapy session yesterday, you know, and I'm saying that to say what I'm about to say comes from a very happy, healed, whole place.
OK, suck my D.
OK, on behalf of Whoopi Goldberg.
Jesus.
OK, suck my D.
Dildo, D, what do you want?
Organic, GMO, whatever you want.
Because I don't know why we keep acting like words can't have more than one meaning.
Why do we act like context doesn't matter?
Gypped is in the dictionary.
She used gypped for the context that it applies to.
She was not talking about no race of people.
She wasn't using it as a slur.
She used it the way the dictionary, Merriam-Webster's, says to use it.
And until yesterday, I didn't know gypped meant anything else.
And he right, because you know what, Envy?
Charlemagne stands for dark chocolate and him.
For real?
I don't know.
That sounds about right.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hello.
Hey, what's your name, ma'am?
Karen.
Hey, Karen.
Now, you know, we got called out there, and I seen your last name, and I'm sorry if I
pronounced it wrong.

Hey, Miss Pusey. That sounds like
a nappy vagina.
I do sound like some nappy grip.
Okay, go ahead, Mom. I'm sorry.
Why should she? It's the one
that's in the dictionary. Why should she?
Why? I agree.
You're supposed to stop using everything?
Yeah, tell them.

Okay.
Now, everybody is offended by something.
Now, I want to add this.
If everybody can be offended by something, I'm offended, too.
Every time they use the word black in integrity terms.
I agree.
Oh, she was blackballed.
Oh, it's so dark.
She was a black lie.
I'm offended by that. I think we should. So, I don't want anybody line i'm offended by that i think we should
yeah i think we should start a campaign we should start a campaign to stop the
negative connotation of all things black i agree with you man what's your last name

black in society is always something bad why you gotta

Oh, it was so black.
It was so dark.
They need to apologize.
That's right.
That's right.
Black is not an ugly color.
Black is not a negative.
Black is very positive and very beautiful.
You paint your wall black in your house.
That's an art piece in itself.
I'm with you.
Thank you, Miss Black. But let me ask. Can I just say one more thing? Can I say this, Mr. Charlamagne? all black in your house that's an art piece in itself i'm with you thank you miss black
but let me ask can i just say one more thing can i say this to charlamagne yes ma'am so name i say

no more.
Is that a promise, Ms. Black?
No, I don't know.
You promise you're leaving, Ms. Black?
No, I don't mean it.
Don't hang up on Ms. Black. Ms. Black is right, though.
I promised myself in 2023
I wasn't going to say the N-word no more.
But boy, these N-words, boy.
My goodness.
All right.
800-585.
And this N-word that been here all week.
Lord have mercy.
Who you talking to, N-word?
I ain't talking to you.
I'm the only one been here all week.
Everybody else work here full time.
800-585-1051.
We're talking Whoopi Goldberg.
Should she have to apologize?
Call us up now.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning. Daddy calling my phone. 5-1 we're talking whoopie goldberg should she have to apologize call us up now it's the breakfast club good morning 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 miss pat
our guest host is hanging with us this week now if you're just joining us we're asking about whoopi goldberg should she have to apologize now it comes from
something that she said on the view yesterday let's listen the people who still believe that he
got you know gypped somehow in the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife
you know to to pay that money from his personal thing.
But I just don't understand.
Stop making Whoopi apologize for everything, man.
Listen, if Whoopi wants to apologize for things, I understand.
But at some point, we got to sit down and have a conversation about just how to educate individuals.
Because we're acting like these words don't have more than one meaning.
What's the point of having the sources and dictionaries and everything else if we're going to act like these words only got one meaning because you know what people kill
me on twitter when i use them two dares wrong oh lord t-h-e-i-r-t-h-e-r-e that's right all the time
get rid of we only need one hello who's this hi there this is me now what's your thoughts on
whoopi goldberg mama okay so here's the thing, Andy. The word gypsy, it is an offensive word.
It derives from gypsy, from the Romanian, right?
It is.
How long did you know this?
When did you find this out?
No, my grandmother, you know we have gypsy kids in Georgia
that be in the grocery store, and they always begging for money.
They always come with some stuff.
That's where it comes from. I've been through that. And they always begging for money. They always come with some stuff. It is, you know what I'm saying?
That's where it comes from.
Like, I've been through that.
But the thing is that she, whoopi may not have known it.
You know what I'm saying?
Where it actually comes from.
You know what I mean?
But I feel like she should apologize only because of the platform that she's on.
She doesn't say like, hey, I didn't know.
You know what I'm saying? It was an offensive word.
I apologize.
So why are these words in the dictionary then?
If these words are in the dictionary and you looked up the word jip and it says it means to cheat or swindle,
why can't I use the word if it's in the dictionary?
Oh, it is.
You know, I never knew it was actually in the dictionary.
Me neither.
I thought it was just like a plain word.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me ask you something.
You said she should apologize because of the platform she's'm saying? Let me ask you something. You said she should apologize
because of the platform she's on.
So let me ask you this.
Had she said that same thing on BET,
should she apologize?
Oh, no.
Because, hey,
we got free reign
to talk how we want to talk.
I'm just saying.
Why can't she be black?
Whoopi should be able to be
her full unapologetic self on The View.
And I'm ready for Whoopi to retire if y'all going to keep doing Whoopi like this, man.
Hello, who's this?
Jessica.
Okay, Jessica, good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
We're doing great.
So what do you think about Whoopi Goldberg?
Should she have to apologize?
No, I basically think that they want every black person to apologize for something we do.
No reason at all.
I just feel like it's a continuation of, they don't like what we say.
So it's a stigma.
It's a group that just doesn't like what the black community has to say.
Whether it's one word or a phrase or just anything.
They just don't have, they just don't like what we say.
And it's put out there that way.
That's very true. And you know what else is interesting a lot of these people will try to act like systemic racism or institutional institutional racism doesn't exist but don't
things like this prove it if this is a slur that we've been using and it's in the dictionary right
and we've been using it in what we thought was this proper context but now y'all telling us
that it's offensive isn Isn't this showing that there
is absolutely institutionalized racism
in America, and it's at the root? It's in the root of
everything we do? When she apologized
and said, I should have said cheating,
it's the same thing if you
look up what a synonym is for it.
All of it's the same. I don't
even know if we can use the word cheater. How do cheaters feel
about that? Well, she said it. She said
it in a thing. She said, I should have said cheetah.
Yeah, but how do cheetahs feel about that?
Who is the cheetah?
The cheetah, the one that do the, um, what's that potato chip?
The cat.
The cat, yeah.
The cheetah cat.
The cheetah cat, yes.
Well, the cheetah cat don't talk.
The one on the commercial, dude, that do the cheetah.
No, he don't.
Shut up, man.
Thank you, man.
I'm sorry for putting you there.
I'm sorry.
Listen, man, the cheetah's cat is offended because y'all keep calling people cheetahs, man.
That ain't right.
If you don't shut your ass up.
What's the Cheetos cat name, man?
All I got to say.
Chester Cheetah.
Chester Cheetah is offended because y'all keep calling people cheetahs.
Cheetahs ain't no better.
Okay, don't be calling people cheetahs.
He said, don't call them cheetahs.
Let's say cheese up like him.
That's right.
My goodness. All right. What's the moral of the the story i don't know what the moral of the story
i think whoopi i mean like i agree with you whoopi get out of there if they ain't gonna let you be
you get out of there early because i want to tell you now you got a seat over here at the breakfast
club they hiring we sure that will become co-host that would be great i'd love that we'll become
co-host and she can say whatever she want to say. I love Whoopi Goldberg.
You can say it over here. What's that word? Gypsy?
Yes. You can say it over here. No, it ain't
Gypsy. It's Gypt. Oh, Gypt.
You can say it over here, Whoopi.
And we love you. That's right.
Alright, when we come back, we got rumors. We got to tell you about
that Drake concert. It's going to be hard for y'all to get
tickets and expensive. I'll tell you all
about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got our guest host, Miss Pat, joining us.
And let's get to the rumors.
We got to send a rest in peace.
Rumor has it.
Rumor.
Rumor has it.
Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty.
I am gossiping.
This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills chatty patty. I am 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.
All right, we got to send a rest in peace to Bobby Caldwell.
If you don't know who that is, he died at the age of 71.
Let's play his joint.
I guess you wonder where I've been.
I search to find a love within
Yes!
Jiggle, Miss Pat, jiggle!
I came back to let you know
I got a thing for you
And I can't let it go
Charlemagne, I might have produced a baby on that one.
I bet you I didn't know he was white.
I didn't.
He white. I didn't until yesterday. I didn't know he was white. I didn't. He white.
I didn't until yesterday.
I didn't know he was white until yesterday.
I feel bad because I never thought about it.
I just liked his music.
He white?
Yes, he's white.
Like, white, white.
He could be transracial.
We don't know.
Yo, shut up, man.
We don't know.
We don't know what that man is.
He was 71, so ain't no transracial back then.
You was just white, Charlemagne.
He might have, have well he probably
didn't have the language
for it we don't know
I never had
I never seen a
conversation
with Bobby Caldwell
yeah but if you don't
know like his records
were sampled
Biggie Smalls
sampled it
Sky's the Limit
Tupac sampled
his record
a bunch of people
sampled his record
so definitely rest
in peace
that was a jam
at my mama house
with a
with a slitsmoke
look of bull in her hand.
Boy, that bull.
Boy, that bull used to do people dirty.
God dang, she said bull.
She would go outside
and fall in the pavement
and skin her whole face up.
We was drinking bull in middle school.
What? Yes, we was.
That's some nasty stuff.
Man, is it?
Now, Drake and 21 Savage, if you're trying to get tickets for this, it looks like it's going to be kind of impossible.
According to fans, tickets in 100-level seats in certain cities are starting around $500,
while seats higher, a.k.a. the nosebleeds, are starting at almost $200 a ticket.
Man, if I paid $200 for some nosebleeds, I feel like I got gypped.
Yeah, so people are upset about this.
They said between the fees and everything else.
Keep it up.
You got to apologize a little bit.
I was going to say.
Who?
Who, you?
For using a word that's in the dictionary?
Okay.
Keep talking.
They're going to walk your greasy ass out of here.
What, they're going to blackball me?
And then I'm going to be so offended that y'all keep calling it blackballing.
Why black got to be the negative connotation?
Okay?
Keep it up. They're going to put
you in one handcuff.
Because you small.
Now, lastly,
this was some sad news, but it was good news
but it was sad news.
It won't mean
anything to you two, but
Puerto Rico and Dior played yesterday
in baseball. Rep for your people, D.R. played yesterday in baseball.
Rep for your people, Envy.
Not my people, man.
Rep for your people, man.
We talk black up here all the time.
I'm not going to stand in the way of you repping for your people.
You got Spanish music?
That's all you got?
All right, turn up a little bit.
All right, so.
That means Dominican Day coming or something.
Envy lining up his DJ gigs.
He ain't just shouting out Dominican for no reason.
No, no, because this was pretty big.
So, like I said, Puerto Rican and DR
played last night. Puerto Rico won,
right? They won last night.
But one of the best
pitches on the team after they won
was cheering and getting excited and then got
injured at the celebration.
What? But he's supposed to be starting,
I guess, in two weeks for Major League Baseball because he plays
for the Mets. So people are saying it was great that
they won, but he injured himself so he can't play
in the Mets game in the next two, three weeks.
Why was he playing over there in that little league if he played for the Mets?
Ask our resident Puerto Rican over here, Red.
So right now it's like the World Cup for baseball.
And obviously he was supporting Puerto Rico, so he played.
He played a free game and unhurt a million dollar leg
And he gotta come back over here
We gotta take care of him
It's still baseball season
Baseball season starts
In like a couple weeks
Oh, oh, oh
Got you, got you
He'll be alright then
No, he's not
He's gonna be out for a little bit
I'm saying baseball
They play 400 games a season
He can miss the first few games of the season
The first 200 games
Yes, he'll be fine
They play like
I think what
80, 92 games
About 90
162 Exactly 162.
Exactly.
162?
I told you.
Goodness gracious.
Well, I was close.
I said 200.
That's true.
He said 400.
That's true.
That is your rumor report.
And did y'all see the story that Pentagon officials have suggested that there's an alien mothership
in our solar system that could be sending many probes to Earth?
