Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. I was trying to count them real quick. Jess Hilarious said, that just means I got a good gag reflex. I don't know what that means. That's what she said. What's wrong with her? You don't know.

You started that early? Now, of course, if you lived under a rock and don't know who Kim Whitley is, you've probably seen her in everything from Married and Children, Moesha, The Wayans Brothers,

Next Friday, Nutty Professor, just to name a few if you don't know. A lot. She's getting money. She's at your age right now. Right, right. Appreciate it. Now, a shout and congratulations. Drop a bomb for the New York Knicks. I went to the Knicks game last night and I usually sit courtside at the Knicks game.

But they always tell me, you know, you're courtside until somebody's bigger than you. And last night, everybody was bigger than me. There was Paul Schiappone, Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, CeCe Sabathia, Flo Rida. Speaking of acting your wage, you better act your wage. I was. I was. Aaron Rodgers was there.

So many people. Mike Myers, Jessica Alba. So it was a reason. They put me in the second and third row. You know, I sat next to the Jets coach. He me in the second and third row. You know who I sat next to? I sat next to the Jets coach. He was in the second and third row as well with me. How did that happen, though?

They just say, excuse me, DJ, I'm going to need you to move. What happened? No. Well, before the game, they know who's coming. And they knew that, you know, the Met Gala was, you know, a couple of days ago. So everybody was in town. So, yeah. But, I mean, are you actually in the seat when they actually?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not like you were in the seat. Excuse me, Chris Rock is in that seat. You probably couldn't even get front row seats for that game last night. They were super expensive. Absolutely. And I'm sure all of those people been snatched them up. Absolutely.

100%. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, the game was amazing. The Knicks won last night, I think, by four or five. So, congratulations to the Knicks. We take it to Miami, I think, on Saturday. You shouldn't want to sit with them anyway. You should want to sit with all the bus drivers, man.

Drop on the clues bomb for all the everyday working class people out there. Okay, that make the world go around. All right? That's who I want to be with. Well, not Ebony K. Williams, okay? Ebony K. Williams is sitting courtside. Ebide he said y'all all average and mediocre jesus christ yeah but they make they make the world go around that is what the world consists of absolutely okay everyday working class people i think we over inflate uh what we do a lot as entertainers and radio personalities and comedians and talking heads we overinflate what we do a lot as entertainers and radio personalities and comedians and talking heads.

We over-inflate what we do a lot. But I think we all started as the average people. Everyday working class people. We had to start somewhere. Yes. This is a blessing. My mom always tells me, just be happy to be making a living. I'm just happy to be making a living.

I'm happy to be happy. That's all I am. That's it. I done did everything from telemarketing. That's right. I worked at a telemarketing, Taco Bell. I worked at a telemarketing Taco Bell. I worked at a factory. U.S. Open.

Yes. Oh, all kind of stuff. I was printing balloons in a window like a monkey. See what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. I done did all kind of stuff. Printing balloons in a what? Yeah.

What the hell is that? I know what you mean, like putting the words on the balloon. No, no. Yeah, exactly. I was putting the words on the balloon, but I don't know why the company felt I needed to be in the window so the people could see me printing the balloons. It was a mess. That was my younger days. Jesus.

That's why I said we've done it all. We got you for breakfast this morning. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news. Teslin Figaro will be joining us. Joe Biden, he's sending some troops to the southern border. We'll break it down, tell you all about it. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Char. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front-page news. Started off with some quick sports. The Knicks beat the Heat last night, 111-105. The Lakers beat the Warriors, 117-112. I fell asleep for that game. Them West Coast games be on too late. Them East Coast games in a little too late for me, too, because I'd be, like, going to be in bed by 8, 30, 9 o'clock.

But them West Coast games starting at 10, 10, 30 is ridiculous. That's why I'm tired. I ain't lead a game. I ain't lead a guard until like 10, 30, 10, 45 and by the time you get your car

and get out, I didn't get home until 11, 30, 12 o'clock. But we got to see the game too. Yeah. And we got to get off work. Yeah.

And we got to see the game so you know, sometimes we got to watch the game so you got to watch the game. Yeah, you got to stay up, huh? Yeah, you got to stay up. We got to congratulate Joel Embiid as well.

He won his first MVP. So congratulations to him. And then some foul news. The Grizzlies says, We won't re-sign Dylan Brooks under any circumstances. Regardless, they're not going to re-sign him, which I think is foul. I think he's a good player.

He cool. He's a good player. He cool. He's a good player. If he's a good player, I think we should go's a good player. He's cool. He's a good player. If he's a good player, I think we should go with the good player. He talks too much ish, though. Who doesn't? These days.

He goes a little extra. Now, Tezland Figueroa. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy Charlamagne, the God and the Queen, the legend. Kim, how are you? I'm good. Good to see you. And hear you.

Good to see you. Now, what's going on with Biden? He's sending troops to the southern border. Does that mean war? War? No, don't. Read it. Good to see you. Now, what's going on with Biden? He's sending troops to the southern border. Does that mean war? War? Give me the headline. Give me the headline. Give me the headline.

I'm asking. I'm just asking. Exactly. Biden administration is sending 1,500 troops to the southern border for support roles ahead of expected migrant surge. The war is nowhere. Man, nothing but war.

I heard 1,500 troops. I'm just asking. Let's go. Let's go. Well, I hope it's not a war. And that's a great point that you bring up, actually, DJ Envy, because they said that it will be for self-defense and not law enforcement. So hopefully nobody will get hurt. But it's something called

Title 42. And just to remind everybody, during Corona, Title 42 was used to override immigration law, which allowed people to ask for asylum when they were entering illegally. So when Corona was going on, they use this Title 42 in order to keep, you know, folks out to keep people from getting sick. And so now that's expiring and there'll be an influx of migrants that are coming through. President Biden is sending like we said, he's sending troops up there to make sure that stuff, you know, goes well. But it's so interesting because Texas Governor Abbott told Chicago Mayor Lightfoot that he will be busing them right back. Well, busing them to Chicago. And you remember, I remember remember remember Charlemagne we talked about that early on when all the Republican governors were sending folks you know their cities including New York

they said that you know if you guys are so welcoming and you are all about you know bringing everybody over then hey we're gonna bust into you so you're gonna see a lot of that happening as well within the coming weeks and Republicans really will be running off of this. I can hear Donald Trump now saying, there's a crisis at the border. I can just see him pushing this issue and saying it's going to be a big crisis. So kind of look for that in the next coming weeks as well.

So question 10, why do they make border control so political? Both sides know that border control is needed, but one gets demonized when they try to do things at the border. So why? Why do they make it a political issue well everything i guess is a political issue you're absolutely right because um donald trump actually sent 3 000 active duties uh active duty troops as well to the southern southern border just like uh biden is doing and and they're doing the exact same thing so there's some hypocrisy you know that's happening on both sides of the aisle which

of course one side is always going to say they're doing it for the right reason. And the other side is not. So this is just an issue to be able to, you know, get folks to decide if they're on the Republican side or the Democrat side is more welcoming to migrants. And they're just going to keep using them. I always try to push those Charlemagne. No, we know we talked about this before, you know, when we saw the Haitian, remember when the Haitian migrants came over, they weren't treated like they should have been with decency.

Not even close. And they got swept. It's just two different things. When the Haitians come over, they don't even give them a chance. It's a problem. I think you're right about that, though. They're just trying to show it is all about politics.

Look what I'm doing. Look what I'm doing. But I got a question. What happened to the children? Where are the children? Did the children ever get reunited back? Oh, with their parents? Yeah.

Oh, you're talking about the children that they locked in cages at the border? Yes. It's like that happened and then we never heard about it again. I mean, children are still there. I mean, a lot of the children, it's children still coming through those borders. I think when we say these terms, like people coming through the border,

those people include kids. Yeah, and there's a lot of people. So I don't have a problem with him sending troops down, but as long as it's for the good. So the troops are not going to be doing any law enforcement, they're saying, right? Well, they say that. They say that, but that's all going to be doing any law enforcement, they're saying, right? No law enforcement. Well, they say that. They say that, but what if, you know, that's all going to depend, you know, on what happens.

You know, so, I mean, law enforcement is there for a reason, and hopefully it is just to monitor, but we don't know what's going to come because you've got to think about thousands of people. They're going to be trying, you know, to get over. And so it's a mess. There's not a lot of order that they have in place. I think they're coming up with some type of app for people to ask for asylum, like on the spot. So it's just it's not organized. It's not prepared. They're not prepared for this. And so this is why you're going to hear where Republicans are already saying it now that there's going to be a crisis at the border and it's just going to be a mess.

And so we're just going to look to see how that plays out. They were saying that they have 7000 daily encounters on the u.s southern board and they say that number's expected to rise in the next couple of weeks so it's going to be some will be coming over yeah some will be coming over legally and illegally and so what is that process how are you going to monitor that how are you going to know who should be here not should be here and we'll talk about that later in another story uh you know what the guy that they killed those children he actually was deported several times and this is one of the things that they're going to be talking about you know how do you keep folks out that should not be here so definitely a political issue i know a lot of people uh who care about border control

especially here in new york city you know folks be telling me that they have ms-13 in their neighborhoods now and they tearing the neighborhoods up. I mean, literally people coming up to me saying, you have to talk about border control. You have to talk about border control. MS-13 is tearing our neighborhood up. I'm like, damn. And what side are the people on? Are they for this or against this?

That's what I always, some of my friends are like, you know, I want border control. I don't want border control. So it's a... I think they're for border control. Oh yeah, the people talking to me about MS-13 being in their neighborhood, they absolutely want border control. I don't want border control. So it's a... I think they're for border control. Oh, yeah. The people talking to me about MS-13 being in their neighborhood, they absolutely want border control.

Absolutely. All right. Well, that is front page news. Tez, we'll see you in a couple minutes. Absolutely. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

A-M-T. Okay. Hey, Salome, let me ask you something, man. Uh-huh. Why y'all like Biden so much? I don't. Who told you that? I made all the same thing. Also, you don't. Good. No, I don't. But this is what I'm't. Who told you that? I mean, all the same thing.

My name's Mo. Mo, what up? Get it off your chest, Mo. Yeah, I got to get off my chest because we got to who's this? My name's Mo. Mo, what up? Get it off your chest, Mo. Yeah, I got to get off my chest. We all start with this narrative that it's women with these attitudes and mood swings that us men got to deal with. There's a lot of men that work hard to be where they at right now, and they're not dealing with their own attitudes no more. So if you're coming with that, you're going to go with it too.

Damn, Mo. First of all, wait. We have something called a menstrual cycle that takes us through our hormones each month. And you need to study up on that. We have something called just being men in America. We face stuff on a daily, on a regular, no matter the color of your skin. We face it every day, just being a man. Damn, you challenged your PMS with MIA.

Men in America. That's right. Men in America. You're absolutely right. I understand that. But let me tell you something you you can really get along with a woman if you understand that hormones happen and she can't control herself sometimes sometimes she's crying sometimes she's mad and you just gotta once you really know a woman and you know it's coming you'll be ready for it i think one of the biggest

i think one of the biggest false narratives out here is that only women are emotional. Men are so goddamn emotional. We are so emotional, bro. But we don't want to see that. I know that's hard. We got emotions too. Irrespectfully,

my girlfriend right next to me and I made this phone call just so I could bring it to her attention that, yo, you gotta understand we gotta do something differently. Them old ways and times is not working no more.

If we want to be together, let's go together. Oh, you ain to do something differently. Them old ways and times is not working no more. If we want to be together, let's grow together. Oh, you ain't getting none tonight. Did you call the breakfast club and she right next to you? That's the problem right there. Yeah, she right next to me.

That is just, there is no winner. You got to ask yourself, do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? You know what I mean?

What's up, brother? Get off your chest. I'm from Columbus, Ohio, man, and I work for the street tournament company. And I don't know if it's racially motivated, but it just seems weird to me that they make all the black people do all the manual labor. And I don't feel like black people

should be high up in the trees anyway, though, you feel me? But it's just crazy how they treat us at this job, man. I just wanted to get that off my chest. What? They make y'all work? Yeah, they make us like if your power go out cause the tree fell on your line or something

we go and cut the trees and we gotta pull the limb out and we call them like the tree branches we call it brush and you gotta literally physically drag that to like the tree line or you gotta chip it or something like that.

So you mad that they're making you do your job? I'm confused. He's saying they're not making the white boys go to the trees. They're not making the white dudes do the same thing. The white dudes, all they do is sit in there spying, which is just watching us do all the manual labor and I just feel like that's crazy and I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Are all y'all in the same position? Like, they're not your supervisors or nothing like that? Are all of y'all equally young? Nah. We all equally. We all, like, it's a white dude that was there two weeks and he can do the same thing that them white boys did that only been there six months. Damn. No, you gotta tell me.

Then you tell them, say, look, go on up there. I got you. I'm gonna watch this for you. Go on up that tree and get that for me you might need to go to hr right hr but you might need to just say something go on bob bob you go on and get that branch this time what if bob said it could be worse you used to be hanging from those but now you just that's something bob would say get it off your chest 800-585-1051 when When we come back, we got to talk to Brat.

No. She opened up. She has the product. She opened up the huge warehouses out in New Orleans. She came up here before. I don't know if I was here for that one. Yeah, I think you are. Well, in a new interview with The Root, the couple explains how they chose a white sperm

donor over a black donor because the latter wasn't attractive enough. The couple revealed that they were quite surprised at how few black donors were there to choose from, and they started going through the candidates. They said they were only left with about 300 candidates after doing the screening and only one of them was black. However, the only one wasn't attractive

enough for them. The brat laughily said, the dude looked like Jiminy Cricket. I was like, I'm sorry, but that wasn't going to be my choice. Let's go to our Breakfast Club correspondent, Dr. Umar Johnson forson for comment please what do you think him oh my goodness it was throwing me off i mean what how okay this is completely throwing me i didn't know they had a white donor to begin with now uh okay all right people are doing that uh but i'm trying to say where did she go to look at these donors was she in uh utah

oklahoma because if you're in atlanta it's a whole bunch of sperm i didn't see i mean i mean i didn't jesus i mean i meant sperm wow okay we got it i mean you know i'm saying there's a bunch of black men down there but what they're saying is that black men are not donating sperm but that i think it's just not known in the breakfast club, y'all should do a little PSA. Black men, go and donate your sperm. Because there are a lot of women who look for black fathers.

I guess you should say good-looking black men in this case. I don't think, yeah, I don't understand. I understand we want our children to look a certain way, but if you got pregnant naturally, you know, sometimes the children don't look like the mama and daddy they reach back they look like they get a jiminy cricket they get an uncle they get you know you go back i did not know because wanda sykes also has uh uh white uh she had a white sperm donor sperm donor she's a

friend of mine and you know i always ask her you ask her, you know, hey, she chose that. But she has white children. They're not even like mixed. And I guess the Brat and Judy's, they're going to be mixed children. Yeah. I think the problem is this just reinforces a lot of negative stereotypes that in America, white is beautiful and black isn't. Because the headline is the Brat got a white sperm donor because the black sperm donor looked like jiminy cricket right that did that is pushing that narrative and we cannot do that and uh it's unfortunate but

sometimes when you're on a reality show we do say things try to be funny so uh i'm hoping that's you know what she was doing because you can't find what i will say is people have to understand it's only you only get a hundred dollars to donate uh sperm yeah it's not high they don't even charge you about like the pint or whatever it's not a lot so they gotta you know like if you go get blood i think it might be twenty dollars so you know brothers are probably like nobody going down there to do all that because it's a process i just just don't know. I mean, we all don't know the process, but if they were looking and they said there was so few black donors and the only one

that they found just didn't fit them, then you know, they wanted to have a baby. I mean, I would hope that they would. I mean, if you are buying a baby, right? If you're putting together your own baby. If you're building a baby, you want the baby to look good. You know what I mean? So regardless of what... They could have called you, right?

It'd been like, hey, just, you know. Yeah, that's what I feel could have called you right it'd been like hey just you know yeah that's that's what i feel like they didn't want no short baby but i'm just saying regardless of the race if the person's not attractive right you know i'm saying you probably don't want to take your chances it's just crazy all these conversations we have about buying black support and black business and you go out and buy white sperm lord have mercy all right now it's always white though we got to keep it moving. Ebony K. Williams. We talked about her yesterday, and now she's doubling down on the fact that she never date a bus driver.

This is what she said yesterday. I only saw a handful that even considered the possibility of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now, I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's okay, as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men. So, no, my dear,

C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not okay. But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular, and typical being good enough for us? Hmm. Well see, that's called white supremacy. No average is not and will never be good enough for me. And the gag is, I don't think it's good enough for you either. Ebony! My son brings home C's and D's. It's

just fine. That's right. And I do I call to him and I say, good job, but you can do better. Ebony! You don't try to get him a tutor? Yeah, I do. He has a tutor. But this, I don't understand. What does white supremacy have to do with it? Why are we saying for her? She's saying for her

it's not good enough for her. So Ebony, I don't know what she wants. A bus driver is fine. What if he's the best man ever and he's passionate about his bus driving and he loves you and he cares for you and he does all the things on the list that you love because we all, you know

women, we all got lists. And then you have one thing because he's a is it the bus driver or is it the salary or is the money he makes because if ebony ebony is a millionaire or whatever if she makes a lot of money why does your man have to be equally yoked right there with you yeah i just understand why everyday working class people are considered average mediocre right are typical i don't know why we refer to everyday working class people as having lower standards.

There are people who think what we do is average and mediocre compared to what they do, and they're probably right. I'm a media personality, entrepreneur in the entertainment business. I can name so many jobs that are more important than mine. Doctors, teachers, engineers, military, people in entertainment, newsflash. We are not essential workers. The world is not going to stop because we're not on the radio. The world is not going to stop because we're not on TV.

But let the bus drivers stop driving today. Let the folks who drive who quit today. Something as simple as coffee. Let the Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks workers not show up for work today. Let the sanitation workers not pick up the trash and see what happens. But the problem is it sounds like it's trying to make it seem like bus drivers

and we call them the bus and tunnel people that, you know, they control the city. They run the city. Make sure the city's running that they're not bright and smart, which is totally wrong.

I know a lot of smart and intelligent bus drivers, intelligent police officers, intelligent people that work at all those people you just named. And I know a lot of stupid attorneys. I know a lot of dumbass attorneys. Absolutely.

And sometimes I think, how the hell you got your job? So it's a little bit of both. And just to say it, you know, my dad, who was in the military, when he got home from the military, he couldn't find a job. So he started off as a mechanic. And then the mechanic wasn't giving enough money. By the way, essential.

Yes, he needed benefits. So he became a bus driver. And that wasn't enough. And. By the way, essential. Yes, he needed. Essential worker. But then he needed benefits, so he became a bus driver. And that wasn't enough. And then he became a police officer. Essential. And not easy. You got to be smart to do that. You got to pass all those tests. Yeah, absolutely.

Listen, Ebony's the homie. That's our peoples right there in a real way. And she's entitled to her preference. She can date whoever she wants to date. She can have whatever standards she wants to. But I just think the problem here is i believe you know we are she's unintentionally putting down everyday working class correct i think she chose the wrong words i think that's what she's trying to say is look i want a millionaire i want somebody and that's

fine but she was doing something before she became that also that's true and i think she just used the wrong words but i'm here to tell you ebony sometimes you got to go where millionaires hang out and sometimes those millionaires they want want a 22-year-old. Start looking around. It's the A. It's the truth. I'm telling you. You look around these billionaire and billionaires, you're like, oh, they don't want my age. My bad. I mean, Diddy did pull up

to the Met Gala with a young tender. He got young tender. He had tender. And I tried to holler at him many times. He ain't checking for me. Let's open up the phone lines when we come back after Front Page News. 800-585-1051. Does this insult working class people? That is the question.

Yeah, you can't refer to everyday working class people as average and mediocre. I just think we too often over-inflate our positions as entertainers. America has this weird obsession with celebrity, and it makes us feel like we are more important than what we are. We are not essential. I think she's just throwing it out there, her net. Like, this is what I want. She's using that as like a dating situation.

She's throwing it out there like, hey, this is what I would like, come for me. Because let me tell you something, I take a bus driver, a garbage, whatever. I take any good man right now because you have to understand in society the roles have switched a lot of black women are making a lot more money than black men so we have to turn our thinking around and say hey you know what because i know i've lived it and i know

friends that lived it hey i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna take care of everything but can you take care of the home like they they we change the roles it's hard but once black men really settle into it it's kind of cool. You cook, take care of the kids, make sure the house is run. I'm going to bring in the money. That's right. Well, we'll talk about it when we come back. We got front page news next.

Teslin Figure will be joining us. And our guest co-host this morning is Kim Whitley. So don't move. And we're taking your calls. 800-585-1051. Does this insult working class people? What Ebony K. Williams said. We'll talk about it.

It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Pete Davidson is everywhere. And now everywhere includes Buck Kiss. His new semi-autobiographical comedy series on Peacock. Also starring Eddie Falco and Joe Pesci. Buck Kiss screams May 4th only on Peacock.

Hi everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Kim Whitley, here. And let's get in some front-page news. First, let's start off with some quick sports. The Knicks beat the Heat 111-105. Congratulations to the Knicks.

The Lakers beat the Warriors 117-112. And congratulations to Joel Embiid. From the 76ers, he won his first MVP. So, congratulations to Joel Embiid. Now, Teslin, won his first MVP. So congratulations to Joel Embiid. Now, Tesslyn, good morning. Good morning, Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and the queen, Kim Whitley, in the building. The legend. Aw, I love you.

Now, let's get right into it. They caught the Texas suspect in custody after a couple of days of a manhunt, right? Yeah, this was a huge manhunt. Someone reported him on an anonymous tip. His name was Francisco Oropita. We covered this story earlier this week in the front page news. And so someone called him with a tip. They followed his wife to a home.

And they don't know yet if the wife or the family members were a part of helping hide him. But they did find him there in a closet hiding under some laundry and like i said it was a huge manhunt they used more than 250 law enforcement officers there was an eighty thousand dollar reward his immigration status was unknown at the time but like i pointed out last hour he was deported on several occasions actually four times since 2009 so this was somebody that should not have been I guess in the country in the first place and and as a result unfortunately you know he's killed you know those children as young as eight years old who actually

went remember we talked about the story earlier this week they asked for the gun asked him to stop shooting the gun so the baby would stop crying and as a result he shoot he shot those individuals and killed them and so now he was taken to jail without incident uh and he is held on a five million dollar bond you know what i find so cowardly about what he did they found him hiding in a closet under a bunch of laundry you ain't had no smoke for the police it's easy it's easy to go run up in that that family's house and kill that family and kill children, but you ain't got no smoke for the police. When it comes to the police, you're tucking

your tail, hiding behind. Hiding in the closet. How did they give him a $5 million bond? How did he give him a bond at all? Absolutely. This is a person. They should have just, you know me, shoot him on sight. Ain't no trial. We know you did it.

And who was hiding him? Whose laundry room was he in? I was like, hey, let me put these clothes on top of you. You know, he just killed all these people. They said that was his wife, right? His wife was hiding him? Well, they follow his wife to the house. It doesn't really say if it was her house or family members. It just says family members house. So we're not sure about that yet.

And they're not sure if they actually participated in it because I don't want to make assumptions but you know he could have forced them to hide him you know we don't know yet so they're trying to figure out you know if those folks should be charged you know with the crime as well arrest everybody until we find out arrest them all that was these people minding their own business you don't know who you living next to that's right very careless yeah this is you know, that was the same week that we had all the driveway shootings. People are losing their mind. I am

sorry to hear this. Yeah, now what's going on with Elon Musk? So yeah, Twitter has been a hot mess ever since Elon Musk took over. Remember, he paid $44 billion and now the company's only worth $20 billion. At first he said, you know, I'm going to give everybody a blue check if you want to pay $8. Then he said, I'm going to take away everybody's

blue check. Then he gave it back. He's just been going back and forth, you know, trying to generate revenue on Twitter and it just simply has not been working. So a lot of companies like NPR said, you know, I'm no longer going to use Twitter because it is not, you know, it doesn't have going to use Twitter because it is not, you know, it doesn't have the credibility that it once had. People don't know if you're getting a message from NPR or someone that just made it up. So since they left, Elon Musk is basically saying, well, I'll just take away your handle, you know, just to simplify it.

And so now NPR actually put out the story that said, you know, they're trying to take away our handle. So this kind of goes ties into what we've been talking about with AI. That's going to be another place, you know, that that AI can use handles and say that, you know, somebody said something that they did not. And and Elon Musk has basically just made, you know, Twitter a dumpster place, to be honest with you. And so you're going to see more companies leaving, more companies getting their handles

taken, giving it away to a random person. And so, again, it's just going to be another place that's going to create a lot of chaos you know that's uh speaking of the ai you know the writers went on strike yesterday you know one of the things that uh the studios rejected was a negotiation point about not letting chat gpt write scripts so now may not be a good time for the writers to be on strike because boy soon as the chat GPT start writing scripts It's over. That's right. Yeah, that's right They already have that program I can go on right now and just Put it in what a story that I want to write in the whole script will come out. Yeah, that's already exists I know kids are doing it for their papers like they you know

when they're in college they have and they be like write a paper on so and so and so and so from a black person's view and it spits it right out this next generation gonna be so stupid yeah like you you're exercising your brain power when you're writing these essays and you're doing this research on your own if you're letting the computer do it all for you you're just making yourself an idiot yep oh that was i'm glad you brought up the uh's strike, though, because I know you guys covered that on yesterday. But how has that affected you, Cam? Because, you know, last night, a lot of the shows, they said they're stopping. And, you know, so how's that working for you?

Well, it's going to be bad. You see that the talk has gone dark. And, you know, I do a lot of talk shows. I know it's probably going on hiatus soon, but I had to leave early. And it's going to be difficult. The last writer's strike ruined Los Angeles. Because people don't understand, the whole

town, you have to have material in order to perform. So the writers, they affect everyone. Even all of the mom and pop stores around, the restaurants go down, things shut off, photographers, everything in Los Angeles is affected

because everyone that lives in, not everyone, but the majority of people that live in Los Angeles is for the industry. It's a show business, right? It's an entertainment capital. And once the writers go down, it was bad. I talked to a writer friend of mine last night, Buddy Lewis, and he was like,

it's going to be bad. He said, but we have to stand our ground in order to get these streaming networks to pay us our work. That's the big fight. Because remember, Netflix and everything came out so fast. There was no contract. You know, before we used to get residuals on everything.

So we would live off of that for a while. But now, you can sit, I can go on HBO Max. I have a show on there and they pay me and I'm like, Ooh, got a nice check. But before you get a nice check and then for five years, 10 years,

you're still getting a little check. Right now. That's it. There's been a lot of reruns on, on, on these shows now on these networks. Oh, a lot.

And then they'll sell it. So they'll go from ABC to Hulu to Paramount. Then they share it. These writers get nothing. And the writers really, a lot of them don't get as much as, of course, the actors get. So they get their, you know, their check. Then that's it. So if it goes to, if you sell it to the next

place, they should get a check. So these networks going to need more unscripted content. Right. They're going to need more shows like the Breakfast Club or BET. Or BET. And that is going to happen. Right now, they're probably going to run more unscripted content. They're going to need more shows like The Breakfast Club on BET. And that is going to happen. Right now, they're probably going to run The Breakfast Club a lot. They're going to ask you for more content because they're going to have to. And another thing that is happening, you all might not

know, and you might, a lot of these big corporations, Paramount and Netflix, are trying to get out of their huge contracts. They've got these contracts with these huge actors and producers. Well, after 90 days, none employed. They cancel. So they have these heavy, heavy contracts, millions and millions.

So once they let them go, they're clean. So that's the biggest thing that they're fighting for. They're like, we're going to let it go. Yeah. And as just one point, I know one of the things the writers are asking for is AI protection to make sure that, you know, they're putting together something that doesn't allow AI to come in and, you know, take over those writers job. And just as a point, it will trickle down. And as we know, California has one of the highest and particularly L.A., one of the highest homeless rates in the country. So when you see it trickle down to those mom and pops and all of those things, how are they going to be able to pay rent and live? So just understand is a huge effect. Thank you for bringing that up, Kim. when you see it trickle down to those mom and pops and all of those things, how are they going to be able to pay rent and live?

So just understand there's a huge effect. Thank you for bringing that up, Cam. And then you brought that up. Poor Cam Bass. She's just now trying to clean the streets. Now the writer's strike will be more. I hope. I didn't think about that.

Your writer's going to trickle down. It did last time. It really affected everyone. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Absolutely. And make sure you subscribe to the Tezlyn Figaro's podcast,

It's Great Shot, No Chasing Podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. All right. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051. We were talking

to Ebony K. Williams yesterday and now she doubled down. So this is what she said. I only saw a handful that even considered the possibility of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now, I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's OK, as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men. So no, my dear C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not okay. But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular and typical being good enough for us?

Hmm. Well, see, that's called white supremacy. So the question is, when we come back, does this insult the working class people? Let's talk about it when we come back. Don't move. 800-585-1051. 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 now if you just join us we're talking about ebony k williams uh she talked about she'd never date a bus driver but she doubled down and this is what she said. I only saw a handful that even considered the possibility of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now, I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's okay as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men.

So, no, my dear, C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not OK. But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular, and typical being good enough for us? Well, see, that's called white supremacy. No, average is not and will never be good enough for me. And the gag is, I don't think it's good enough for you either. So we're asking 800-585-1051. We got our guest co-host Kim Whitley here. Now, Kim, what's your thoughts on this? I mean, you know, my thoughts. I think Ebony needs to go ahead and date a bus driver. I think she needs to go ahead and see what that

feels like. But the truth is this. I think she is saying what she wants, but it's her wording. You can't call people average and mediocre because that is just not... These are essential workers. These are people that make our lives go round. Just like Charlamagne said, if everybody stopped

working, our life would go down. And we call ourselves celebrities. That's because we chose this field. But before that, I've been doing a whole bunch of jobs, serving things. I was a teacher in Compton. I was a waitress. I've done a lot of things.

And then we think about all the Uber drivers and the Lyft drivers. If they stop, we go crazy. So we can't say average and mediocre is central we need these people yeah i agree i mean ebony can date whoever she wants to date she's entitled to her preference you know that's that's our homie she's been up here a million times but i just don't understand why everyday working class people are considered average mediocre and typical like that to me that's the all white supremacy you can't put that on there yeah i don't even know what i didn't understand where that was and i see people saying things like black women are the only race who has to lower their standards.

Why do we keep saying they're lowering their standards? Like every white person in this country is not rich. Right. They're everyday working class people too. And I just think we as entertainers, we over inflate our positions in life, man. Doctors, teachers, engineers, military, law enforcement. They probably look at us like, and what we do is average, regardless of how much money we make.

We are not essential, y'all. Correct. We can stop right now and the world will be just fine. But all of those people we just named, if they stop, the world will be in chaos. So please, just stop referring to them as average and mediocre. Yeah, I thought that was so foul. And the bad thing about it is we talk about,

we put so much value into somebody's worth, their net net worth and how much they make and what they do. But there's this thing called love, you know, because at the end of the day, you know, money comes, money goes. And we've all been in predicaments here where we had some and then we lost it. You know what I mean? But at the end of the day, I know for myself, I know for Charlamagne, like we had love. We had spouses that were there and it's not there for the money. My wife been with me since 15, 16. She sold mattresses when I worked at the U.S. Open. It's not about the money.

It's about that love. And I wouldn't change that for anything in this world. But I think Ebony and myself, well, myself right now, I would just take a good man. There you go. See, Ebony ain't been through enough. She ain't been lonely enough. But right now, if she's looking, she should just want a good man. You put that out in the universe. However package comes if you won like I said you

want to be with a millionaire you gotta you gotta go to the Kentucky Derby you gotta go to the US Open you gotta hang around well millionaires are and see what you get and what comes out yeah I don't care who Ebony chooses the date like once again that the relationship stuff is her preference the biggest issue I have with this whole conversation is that everyday working class people keep getting referred to as average and mediocre and typical and people are lowering their standards when they're dating average everyday working class i mean everyday working class people like i stop referring to them as average they're not average. They're not average.

There's nothing average about them. Absolutely. They make the world go round. My son right now, my son gets a C or D. Of course, I want him to do better. But I'm not like, oh, this is white supremacy and you're going to be average. Of course, I want him to do better. But I have to, like you said, start with love.

And I want him to be whatever he wants to be. He might love driving buses. I don't know. But I want my son to be happy. to be. He might love driving buses. I don't know, but I want my son to be happy. That's the key right there. Absolutely, happiness. Life is short. Happiness. Hello, Ms. Michelle.

Hi, it's Ms. Mitchell, DJ Envy. They put Michelle. I swear they put Michelle right on the screen. They put Ms. Michelle, but I'm sorry, Ms. Mitchell. Not a problem. You get a pass. Talk to us, Mama. Yes, I think that Ebony K. Williams is standing ten toes down in what she's saying.

Because you guys were saying on the panel that she's saying that she's using the wrong words. She knows exactly what words she's using. She's a lawyer. And she came back and reiterated what she was saying. And I feel like she is not representing the masses of people. And if she is wording it wrong, she needs to get it right. You know what I'm saying? Because Envy, like you said lord you have some dumb lawyers out here yeah you know definitely have some dumb attorneys out there that you're like how the hell did you get past

that bar yeah but you know but then i know some very intelligent bus drivers and police officers and you know mta workers hello who's this good morning this is christy the bus operator hey christy the bus driver christy this the one in the bronx yes the one in the bronx what up christy talk to us why are they dancing i don't know i have no idea listen let me tell you something we have degrees some of us just wanted to drive the bus wow and there's nothing wrong with that that's the that's the thing and especially coming up in New York where a lot of times it's difficult to find jobs so a lot of my friends had to become bus drivers

had to become toll collectors because that's the only job that they could find and those are careers for us and not jobs, they're careers listen man, by the way us entertainers, the only way the only reason we have careers is because everyday working class people support us.

We say listen to the radio. Who buys the tickets? Who downloads the podcast? Who buys the books? You know what I mean? Who comes to the events? It's the everyday working class people. And I am extremely appreciative of the everyday working class. You and me both. That's why you, Charlemagne, right there. That's what I like. You and me both. 800-585-1051. We're talking Ebony K. Williams. She said this. Does this insult

the working class people? Let's talk about it when we come back to The Breakfast Club. We'll be right back. call me and your opinion to the breakfast club top come on 800-585-1051 morning everybody it's bj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our guest co-host kim whitley here joining us now if you're just joining us we're talking about ebony k williams she talked about she would never date a bus driver and then she doubled down and said this. I only saw a handful that even

considered the possibility of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now, I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's okay as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men. So no, my dear C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not okay. But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular and typical being good enough for us? Hmm. Well, see, that's called white supremacy. So we're taking your phone calls this morning. What's your thoughts? Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Janay. Hey, Janay. I'm calling from Detroit.

What up, dog? Good morning, DJ MP, Charlamagne, Kim. Hey. What's your thoughts, mama? I definitely feel like this is the reason why she's single. I feel like if the person is putting God first, is loving you unconditionally, why should the occupation matter? Because she want to go to dinner somewhere, I guess expensive. And, you know, women are like, who paid? I'm with Kim. Like, me and my husband, we get out here, we work hard. You know, I have five kids. Prior to him, he has two.

But he loves God first and he loves me and my kids. So, as long as he's providing and meeting all our needs, get out here and do what you need to do to get out here and hustle. Make sure that your family is doing all you say to take care of your family. But that's probably why she's single now.

Yeah. That's some good advertisement for her. I'm telling you, we done said her name so many times this morning. Ebony the homie. You know what made me think about it too is the people that support ebony that watch her shows that watch her on reality shows that watch her new judge show those are quote unquote the average those average people you're talking about the everyday working class are who you want to support your podcast you don't want them to turn

away from you because it's going to go down. The ratings are going to go down. That's right. Hello, who's this? Hello, good morning. This is Sean Stone. The folks that live at Sanitation's out there. I think all Sanitation workers should strike today, Sean Stone, so y'all can just

show the world how nasty the world would be if y'all don't do y'all job. Just leave the trash on the street. I'm telling you, man. But let me say good morning to Kim Whitley, though, man. Auntie Sugar. How you doing? I'm doing beautiful, lady.

You know, I loved you on Friday. Just want to let you know that. Thank you. I appreciate that. What you think about Ebony? Hey, man. I think what Ebony said is kind of foolish, man. You know, and as a sanitation worker, you know, I'm in love with Lala Anthony, right, Kim?

Right, I hear you. You put her before me, but don't worry about her. Even Lala Anthony one time was saying on The Breakfast Club that, you know, a lot of millionaires, she don't even have anything in common with them because they don't even know how to have conversations. And just the simple fact that Ebony K. Williams, she has a right for her own opinion to want to date whoever she wanted to.

But at the same time, as a satisfaction list, I wouldn't even want to date her. You know what I mean? Because she seems like she just comes with a lot of issues. But she doesn't want to date you either. I don't know if you know. It's all good. I wouldn't be interested. She's not even my type, baby.

She's too bougie. Too bougie for you? Wow. Yeah, man. I don't like her attitude. all by themselves i got a lot of friends like her and they all lonely hello who's this hi it's rachel rachel good morning talk to us rachel what you think about evany k williams comments good morning i myself am offended for all the many students that i've educated who have become bus drivers, plumbers, electricians.

She needs to retract her comment and make it more personal. If she's a millionaire and she prefers to date one, she should say that. But she should not talk down about men who are out here working hard, normal, quote, unquote, normal jobs. But I'm more offended by the C's and D's comments. Right. Because I've been educating students

since 99 and I am a mother. And that is so disrespectful. Yeah. There are children out here who can only get a C. Do you know why? Learning disabilities. I said learning disabilities but then also a systemic bias in education. Yeah.

Thank you. And there's a huge bias. My kids are taking a New York State math test today. They're not ready for it. Right? Because it's a bias test. Yes. So how does she know that C's and D's weren't their best and that their parents weren't

doing their best? That was a heart of a comment and she really, really needs to say something again. Well, thank you, Rachel. And we appreciate you being a teacher. We know how tough it is. We know how difficult it is.

I know you don't get the supplies you need. I know you're overworked and I know you got to deal with some of them crazy kids sometimes. We appreciate you. Yes, we do. Thank you. And I appreciate you guys

because comments like this should be discussed but this might be a learning lesson for her rachel where you from rachel i'm from the bronx i teach in the bronx as well oh lord have mercy god bless you can we buy you some lunch today can we buy you some lunch today because since you're a teacher from the bronx what's your cash app absolutely but what i would prefer is i own a juice bar in Harlem if I could shout out my juice bar. There you go. See, I like that. Go ahead.

Go. Unc's Place. I'm at Unc's Place. 92 Madison Avenue. Unc's Place. What's it called? 92 what? Madison Avenue?

1962 Madison Avenue. 1962 Madison Avenue. If you're in Harlem, go check her out. And we appreciate you again, Rachel. Thank you. Thank you, guys. I appreciate the breakfast, though. Absolutely.

All right, Rich. Good morning, Rich. Good morning. Good morning, sir. Now, you agree with Ebony K. Williams? I think that she could have worded that better. But at the same token, I was a trash worker for 20 years, right? And they need us out here.

I started my own company. My wife and I started our own company since then. But there's nothing wrong with being a trash worker. Nobody aspires to be a trash worker. You see what I'm saying? So we have to do, so, you know, our parents have to do better to push us to do better. You know, although we are essential workers. We are needed out here.

We are necessary. But we're not looked up. We are always looked down upon. No, you're not. No, not at all. No, you're not. Not to us. Not in New York.

Because guess what? When that trash start piling up, where is the sanitation workers? Yeah. Where are the sanitation workers to pick up the work? I'm going to put it to you like this. We all want it when we are needed, but when we are needed,

they don't want to look at us like that. That's the thing. Y'all always need it. I can't think of a time that y'all not need it. Never. Yeah, I think it's changed. I think that might have been 20 years ago. I tried to holler at my uh my trash worker he was so fine he got out that truck i was like wait a minute i said how you doing let me help you with that bag well thank you rich i ain't gonna lie i mean

i appreciate all the sanitation workers all of them sometimes when you block the street sometimes you can't get by but other than that i appreciate you guys that's right that's right what's the moral of the story that the moral of the story is that everyday working class people are not average they're not mediocre they're not typical and it's a level of elitism in those words that i don't like and you know ebony is the homie she's entitled to her preference she can date whoever she wants to date she can have whatever standard she wants but let's not put down everyday working class people in the process. Us entertainers, we need to stop over-inflating our worth. We are not essential.

If those everyday working class people don't support us, we don't have careers. Don't put them down. I think you're right. When I was younger, I probably said something crazy like that. I know these young girls. I want this. I want a ball player. I want this and I want that. We do continue to have the stereotype.

You look on Instagram. My niece, you know, always, I want a baller. I want this and that. It's absolutely true. When you get older, you realize the worth of a man, not just money. Because I'm telling you, a lot of men, you can have a lot of money. They can be beating you behind at home. They can be treating you wrong.

They can be cheating on you. You know, whatever the case is. So you really got to look at the man himself. There you go. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report. Deontay Wilder, he was arrested yesterday. We'll tell you why.

What? In L.A. We'll tell you why when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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.

I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own 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. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app,

his truck and uh his windows were illegally tinted they said and they said his license plate was obstructed and they couldn't see inside so they pulled him over they smelled marijuana during the stop and found a nine millimeter handgun in his vehicle uh he was later uh later released on 35 000 bond i don't even understand why they even put the weed smell in there. Because ain't weed legal in California? It is, but it is kind of like driving and drinking. What if he's in the passenger seat?

We don't know if he was driving or not. I don't know. But, you know, if you roll your windows down and a puff of smoke comes out and you ain't Snoop, it feels some kind of way. What if he's in the passenger seat or in the back seat. I don't know where he was. It feels like it was his car. His truck. And don't forget

he had tinted windows. They don't play that. Dark tinted windows. You know what's pretty scary? The dark tinted windows and the license plate obstructed. So now they're looking at all these things and I'm telling you, when they walked up to the car, they were nervous. They don't like the tinted window thing. They walked up to my car like that i was like hey hey my hands out the window because they don't want it to they want to be able to see in the car so now you roll the windows down

smoke they feel like maybe he's driving like under the influence even with a drink and they have signs all over la billboards you know driving high is like driving drunk i don't know if he was driving though and then you say the weapon was concealed right yeah the weapon was concealed i'm sure they searched it and found it and then he he released a statement they believe is uh uh in talking in this he said i'd rather be safe than sorry that's right and what did he have a license for i don't know what the gun laws are in cali they haven't said yet in new york and la is probably one of the two places the hardest part to the hardest places to get gun licenses yeah very very difficult yeah yeah that was trouble for me so wait a minute let me explain you got your license in la i did i do because here we

walk around with it oh i didn't get that part because i was afraid i got the regular one on the house yeah at the crib but i thought about getting it concealed but i was like until i go practice and know what i'm doing now i don't need to be touching a gun. Oh, so you don't have none at the house? At the house. Okay, what you got at the house? I got some things that be on the police movies. A nine? Yeah, that's it. I can't pull them back, but

it's a part because I got a kid, so it's got the lock through it. It's separate. I know, because somebody come in my house, I'll be like, hold up. Hold on. You wait a minute.

What was his statement? I didn't understand that statement. I'd rather be safe than sorry. What's that mean? To me, it seems like I'd rather be safe, like carry my gun, want me to protect myself, especially since carjackings are up, robberies are up. Oh, okay.

Than sorry, then somebody catch me later on. I'd rather be caught with it than caught without it. But what happened if that was New York? He'd go to jail for three years. Three and a half years. Mandatory. Mandatory. Mandatory. They don't play, huh?

Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, Plax Barbaras. After he won a Super Bowl for the city, they don't play at all in New York City. No, ma'am. No, I think L.A. is a little more lenient. Yeah, they're very lenient. Okay. Very lenient. Now, Ed Sheeran was in court this week, and he's saying he's stopping his career if he loses this lawsuit.

Now, this lawsuit is over his track thinking out loud can you play a little bit of it one tear going on your eye every single time one tear will come out one eye every single time i'm moist everywhere classic wedding right now they're saying that he sampled marvin marvin gay's let's get it on now this is the mashup. This is both of them together. Okay. No. I don't hear it. I don't hear it. No. I'm an extra. I do not hear nothing.

I don't hear nothing. No. Let's Get It On is a classic, classic, classic record. Niggas Out Loud is classic too, but not Let's Get It On. Not like that. I don't hear nothing over no Let's Get It On. Play one more time. Play Thing It Out Loud.

Oh, you trying to. I just like the record. This record is dope. I love this record. I hear one. They're similar. No, they're to... I just like the record. This record's dope. I love this record. I hear one... They're similar. No, they're not similar. One has...

Similar tempos. So much soul. Come on, that's it. Marvin Gaye got so much soul. It's deep down in your eyes. Deep down. Ed got a little bit of soul. It's a great record.

Yes. But it's a different caliber of soul. There's no brrm. Ain't no brrm, man. But can I ask y'all a general question? Yes. So in all the songs in the world, you can't have like tempos or you can't have a little bit of...

But I guess that's why they're so... But I think what also happened is when Ed Sheeran does his show, sometimes he does a mashup with both of them. And I think that's what... Because I think they brought up the mashup in the court. And he says, yeah, I do a mashup all the time with a bunch of different songs yeah but i think that's what what did it but shout out to ed sharon we don't want you to stop your career i would have never i would have never thought of that if you hadn't said somebody hadn't said this sounds like marvin gaye let's get it on

i would have never thought about it people have taken marvin gaye songs before but yes all right well that is your rumor report charlamagne who you giving that down katoom man four after the hour uh we was just talking about kim's unhealthy food choices yes so we need a young woman named megan to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a war with her she made some unhealthy choices for her her child and her teacher the child's teacher called her on it we'll discuss are we gonna play a game okay we could definitely play a game all right we're gonna do this next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same pete davidson is everywhere and now everywhere includes buck kiss his new semi-autobiographical comedy series on peacock

also starring eddie falco and joe pesci buck kiss screams may 4th, only on Peacock. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey, he home. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one.

Yeah, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, May 3rd goes to a young woman named Megan. Megan is a mother of two, and part of her parenting process is TikTok. I really don't know what's happening anymore. I don't judge, but apparently TikTok is the place to be for moms. And this woman recently went viral because she posted a clip that has 568,000 views. I'm going to read you the headline of this new york post article my kid's teacher sent him home with a note saying my lunch wasn't healthy so i unenrolled him yes megan decided to unroll unenroll her child from preschool because the teacher sent home a note saying the child's lunch wasn't healthy i can't make this kind of stuff up let's make let's go

to megan's tiktok for the report please i sent my son to school with pringles which is a very age-appropriate snack for a three year old and this is what his school said please help us make healthy choices at school they wrote that on his pringles cup they snack shamed my three-year-old. They snack shamed me by writing that passive aggressively on his trash. What would you do? I messaged the school personally and said that that was snack shaming and that we at our house do not label things as healthy and unhealthy because that starts eating disorders. And I'm just curious, what would you do? Megan, regardless of how you label food, there is absolutely unhealthy food and healthy food.

That's a very confusing comment. Saying at our house, we do not label things as healthy and unhealthy is nuts because that's what actually starts eating disorders okay yeah you're right that kind of mentality does you know cause eating disorders and it causes your little fat kid to eat disorder and that order and that order because all you probably order is unhealthy things what's nuts here is a teacher at the school told megan she said uh she said that megan actually was the one who was being passive-ag passive aggressive because the note was sent home about packing healthy foods for their kids from Megan when they first enrolled in the school.

But even after that note, Megan still sent her son to school with Pringles. Megan, you must practice what you preach. If you're going to tell the school that they need to have healthier options, then you just need to have healthy options and your kids lunch. And I know you responded by packing Pringles with a granola bar yogurt fruit okay a bunch of healthy stuff but ma'am the unhealthy snack is still there okay just because you're surrounded with fruits and granola doesn't mean you're not breaking the rules okay rules that you attempted to set if i say no crack is allowed at work okay just say no you can't smoke rock if you come in here with the crack and some green juice, broccoli and egg whites, you're still bringing in what we said not to, okay?

And I'm so sick of y'all putting shaming at the end of everything. Y'all just making up stuff. Snack shaming? That's what we on now, really? I've been getting snack shamed my whole life then. Parents are supposed to snack shame. Try to sneak a cookie before dinner and see what happens, okay? I used to sneak slices of German chocolate cake before dinner when I was a kid,

and you would think I stole a car or something the way i got shamed for it okay eating that damn cake before you got something hot in your stomach see i grew up in the 1900s when if you were fat you would get called fat okay no political correctness was happening at all see megan what you call snack shaming we would call fat prevention because if you don't have more people that hold parents accountable then you get more kids that grow up looking like big mac from while and out and that's not a shot at big mac from while and out i love big mac from while and out that's my guy okay by the way i literally talked to big mac about this and he referred me to high-ranking members of the fat lives matter community and they told me pringles are a gateway drug that's why the slogan is shut up

they said that's why the slogan is once you pop you can't stop so all that teacher was doing was trying to stop you from giving your child unhealthy choices now megan is that a reason to take your child out of that preschool do we have the audio of her talking about that taking the child out of preschool we don't say this is healthy this is unhealthy we don't want them programmed like that i have a background in mental health counseling i am not going to let my kids get a freaking eating disorder because of a school labeling things as healthy and unhealthy. That to me is unhealthy. So I dropped my son off at school today. I checked him in and I saw that the director was there. So I initiated the conversation.

So I just shared how I was disappointed with how it was handled. I wish they had reached out to me directly. And she shared that, you know, it was passive aggressive of me to keep sending him Pringles after they did share. And yes, some of you asked. Yes, they did share to send healthy snacks. But I didn't consider Pringles to be like this unhealthy snack anyways there was just no apology there was no taking responsibility and my son's been there for quite some time and we had him registered for their summer program and at the end of the conversation she shared we no longer have a part-time spot for your son this summer I walked downstairs and i just checked my son out and that's that we're done there so you unenrolled your child because the teacher said you need to

make healthier lifestyle choices we have to stop performing for the internet like this is her trying to get sympathy from tiktok because this is no reason to take your kid out of school am i tripping no no no no no no it's too. I think they kicked her out first. That's what it seemed like, right? She got mad because they kicked her out of the summer program because they're tired of dealing with her. If she's getting upset about this little note and she's like, he's been there for a long time. He's in preschool.

He's been there for six months. Yeah. I'm like, what? What do you agree about? What did you agree about? This is the thing, right? I have six kids, right? And we all know that sometimes the kids eat different things.

So if I go, because this is a snack that's supposed to hold your kid over for lunch, right? And you know having kids, sometimes your kids are very picky. They might not want vegetables. They might not want fruit. They might only eat chips. So I just want them to be fine until that next meal comes. And if it's fruit snacks, if it's chips, whatever it may be. They're kids to me.

We know better. That's why we feed them better. That's why I'm sending it. You got to want my kid to be hungry at three years old. Hungry because he's not going to eat the vegetables. If he's hungry enough,

he's going to eat the vegetables. He's not going to eat that seed. No. I agree with Charlamagne. That's why I'm on Weight Watchers now because I ate all them little snacks and fattening stuff. My mama said,

well, I wish I gave you a little bit better food choices. But if I know my kids don't eat vegetables or fruit, I'm not going to say, well, I'm going to give it to you. You're just going to be hungry. No, I'm going to give, well, I wish I gave you a little bit better food choices. But if I know my kids don't eat vegetables or fruit, I'm not going to say, well, I'm going to give it to you. You're just going to be hungry. No, I'm going to give you something at three. He's not six. He's not nine.

He's three. All I'm saying is this ain't no reason to unroll your kid. Okay, write a note back. Pull up to the teacher. Have a conversation like you did. Tell them mind their business. But unrolling the kid, stop it. Because now she's going to cause more problems.

Now the kid's going to miss his friends, all kinds of things. Now you're taking him out. What are you teaching teaching this child and what kim said is very true man um you know what her mom said to her right absolutely snack snack shaming today could prevent future fat shaming later in life that future fat shaming i agree and i i've done it but i was i was mad when charlamagne said that too. I put my son, I put the chips in there but I put some grapes and a banana. You're right. I do surround it. And I got that note from the school. And the banana come back, the grapes come back,

the strawberries come back, and he eat all the chips. No, because the kids share with other kids. The school is trying to keep a healthy environment because they're going to give the chips and share and then the other parents are going to complain. Please give Megan the biggest hee-haw. The credit's been rolling

on BET, by the way. I know, I know. You don't want to play a game, man? You can tell by her voice what game it is. We don't have time. Sorry, sir. All right.

Aw, dang. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. You want to open up the phones? What game? Why not? Let's open up the phones? Why not? Let's open up the phone line. 800-585-1051.

Thank you to BET. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, let's talk about this. 800-585-1051. This teacher got the gall, the audacity to tell me what I should be giving my kids as a snack. If I want to give my kids cookies, potato chips, fruit snacks,

if I want to give them some oxtail and macaroni and cheese, or whatever I want to give my kids as a snack, that's my opinion. That's what I want to do. Don't tell me what I'm going to do because you know what I'm going to do the next day? I'm going to give you more snacks. More junk. More stuff. So you're only hurting your child by doing that.

You're not hurting the teacher. That's it. You grew up on chips. You're pretty all right. So you're only hurting your child by doing that. You're not hurting the teacher. That's it. You grew up on chips. You're pretty all right. I got high cholesterol. Right? Maybe not. My calcium test was a 76.

Maybe not. 800-585-1051. Heart disease runs in my family. Let's talk about it. I have to get in stages of coronary artery disease right now. Touche. Touche. Touche.

Bad example. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, Charlamagne gave gave donkey today to who uh a young lady named megan megan is one of these uh mothers who like to be on tiktok all day every day and megan unenrolled her child out of preschool because the teacher sent her a note back saying that she needs to give her kids healthier options for lunch all right man so we're asking what is your thoughts 805 85 105 when we start with you we're asking, what is your thoughts? 800-585-1051. We'll start with you, Kim. What's your thoughts, Kim? Of course, she's our co-host. Hey, y'all!

I think absolutely the teacher should have told her, stop sending over those oxtails and rice that you give your kids to the school. I think it should never happen. We gotta think about children share their food. Now, I don't want, just like they've taken all peanuts out of school.

Right. Because kids have peanut allergies. Correct. So it's the same thing. They said stop sending these potato chips over here. She's helping the kid. When the kid gets older in life, the kid's going to live a good life. Won't have high cholesterol and close to diabetes like me.

I have six kids. So my kids are very picky eaters, right? Thank God my daughters, they eat healthy snacks, right? So they'll eat vegetables, they'll eat fruit. But my son, who's eight years old, Jackson, he doesn't like fruit and vegetables like that. So for me, I just want to make sure that he has something in his system until lunch comes. So if I know he's not going to eat fruit and I know he's not going to eat vegetables, I'm going to put something in there that he's gonna enjoy that's gonna hold him down to lunch if that's a fruit snack if that is that was good fruit snack okay food snack ain't really that ain't no you know

what i mean or if i'm gonna put him you know some pringles or some chips or something like that you can do baked chips we have baked chips they don't taste good you know them baked chips don't taste good you don't eat them do you eat them huh no see you don't eat them they taste nasty some of them you got to get the right brand the problem is since when are we upset at schools for telling our kids to eat healthier they've been doing that since i was in school in the 1900s they are like like they always showed us the fact that the four of the food groups are the five food groups i don't even remember no more that that pyramid that we had the pyramid yeah all of them they always showed us what was healthy and what wasn't healthy but they didn't tell us they didn't send a They always showed us what was healthy and what wasn't healthy.

But they didn't tell us. They didn't send a note back on your snack and say, don't send us no more fatty. They didn't say that. The teacher didn't say that. I see you exaggerating. The teacher did not say that. But I was telling, why has everything got to be shame? Food shame, fat shame, eraser shame.

Everything is a shame. I don't think she's going to do that. What's a shame is that she took him out of school. Now, that's going to hurt him more than saying, oh, honey, you can't eat those Pringles. Let's make better choices. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Eve from Jersey. Hey, Eve from Jersey. What's your thought, mama? My thought is this. I have two little girls and they're extremely stubborn, right? And they will not eat fruit and vegetables if that's not what they want. So just give them some crinkles and keep it truckin'. That way they

won't starve. I'm with you. That way they're not hungry during school until lunch comes. Just get them something to get them over with. What's wrong with the yogurt and the apple? They might not like it, but why didn't you start that? There's nothing wrong with the yogurt and the apple. You feel me? It's just at the end of the day if the kid ain't going to eat it, they not

going to eat it. If they get hungry enough, they going to eat it. Trust me. I think part of breaking generational curses is feeding our kids better than we were fed. You know what I mean? So if we know that these are healthier options, why not just give the kid healthy options? Why even have the negative as options? And why not start it in the beginning of when they start eating solid food?

You start with that. That's right. It's not convenient. It's like you just want to throw fruit snacks in because you don't feel like cooking. Karen. Hi, MV. Hey, good morning. What's your thoughts, Karen?

So I agree with the school. I feel like the school is making the right decision as far as making sure that your children can eat healthier. Like you said, it's important when you're young. Also, if the parent wants to dictate what the child eats at school, keep your child at home. You don't have to send them to school until they're in, what, fourth? They're four years old or in the

kindergarten. You can keep them at home. My child is about to be in 3K. He's three years old. And I have the option. Either I can send him to Tuesday-wide where they do not allow you to bring outside food because they're kosher

or I can leave him at home with my Jamaican mother who's going to give him porridge until, you know, lunchtime or whatever. Porridge.

Now, by the way, you need to put porridge on them kids' stomach early in the morning. They will not be hungry until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Until 5 o'clock

at night. You put that porridge on them 7 o'clock in the morning, they will not be hungry until 1 o'clock. But your kid goes to school for education, not for the meals that they eat. But they have to.

Their kids are with us. I was a teacher. The kids are with us more than they're at home. Correct. So we have to make sure they eat properly, act properly. All this. There's a lot on teachers and schools. Okay?

That's why in Ghana, they do the rice and they do that. Damn, what brand is that? The dough thing? The dough. The bread. The dough they take and stick in it because they do that damn, what brand is that? The dough thing? The bread. The dough they take and stick it in because they eat that early in the morning because it stays on your stomach all day long. I'm still at Porridge. Hello? Oh, this is the Three Bears. Where is Porridge?

What in the world? That's a Caribbean thing. They do this in Jamaica. Oh, the Porridge. Is that oatmeal? Good morning. Hey, what's your name? Jolila. Hey, Jolila. What's your thought? Okay, my thought is I agree with a parent to a certain extent. She didn't have to unenroll him, but I

have a five-year-old. He's picky. Chips, vegetables, whatever she wants to give him as a snack is fine. That's fine? Yeah, that's fine. Whatever snacks you wanted to give him was fine. She didn't have to take him out of the school, but whatever snacks you wanted to give him was fine. That's why I gave her a donkey of the school, but... That's all I'm saying. She wanted to give him what's fine.

That's why I gave her a donkey today. Unenrolling your kid is just performing for social media. Yeah, she doing... And the school is sick of her. Trust me.

This ain't her first time. 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts that Charlamagne gave Donkey today? To who, Charla? Her name is Megan. For what?

She's a teacher who got upset because her... She's not a teacher. She's a parent who got upset because the teacher told her that she needed to start giving her kid more healthy options to eat. All right. We'll talk about it when we come back.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Kim Whitley here, is here.

That's our guest co-host. Now, Charlamagne gave donkey of the day to Megan, and Megan is a parent who got very upset when a teacher wrote on her child's Pringle box and said, hey, I think you need to send healthier options, fatty. I shouldn't have said that. Nobody said that. That's not what she said. That's why I took it.

And this is my thing. She went up with her child as a preschooler. He can't read yet. She talking about you fat shaming my child. That is facts. I didn't think about that yet.

Yeah, oh shit. The baby can't read. The baby can't read. You're fat shaming him. The baby ain't reading you. You're telling the baby. So we're asking 800-585-1051.

Who do you agree with? I agree with the parents. I say, hey, I just need something that's going to get my kids over, tie him over to lunch, and whatever he wants, just give it to him. Hello, who's this? What's up, man? This is Marvin. He's down in Detroit. Monty, what's up?

Detroit, what up, though? What's your thought? Monty sound like he eating Pringles right now. What's going on? No, but I agree with the mom. She can be at a 10-up here. school, whatever she want, man. All that stuff is a form of control. No, no, it's not a form of control.

We got to, these schools have to be, they're being held accountable for this kind of stuff. We deal with obesity in this country through these children. So it got to start somewhere. Some of the parents don't know. And my mama said she didn't know. She didn't know. She wished somebody would have taught her. And then my big behind is sitting here trying to lose 30 pounds right now.

I got Pringles over here in my socks. Jalisa. Hi, good morning. Hey, good morning. What's your thoughts, Jalisa? I feel like the... Oh, my God. Give me some Pringles. Give him some Pringles.

Give him some Pringles. See that? Why don't you get that little baby no Pringles? Pringles will work. Okay, what's your thought, Mama? What's your comment? I feel like the school should have sent, like, a note home to the entire class instead of just, like, sending a note home to that mom on the Pringles.

That was passive aggressiveaggressive. This would have been better. Like, if I was that mom, I would have sent circles every single day to the school, too. Like, don't be trying me like that. That was mean. I can see that. I can see that. But you wouldn't have taken your child out of school, would you?

Too much. You went too far. I would have treated like TSA. I would have taken all the Pringles every day and ate them. Man, I mean, I got a letter before when my wife went away. My wife went on vacation with her girl. She went on a girl trip and I was holding down the fort

for 20 days and I definitely got a letter from the school and was like, hey, maybe you should put some healthier things. But it wasn't to me. It was like a direct letter, but I knew it was to me. Okay, but she did it for the whole school. They did it for the whole school, but I knew it was for me. First she did it for the whole school they did it for the whole school but i knew it was for me i know it's me first of all what kind of who sends their wife gone for 20 days i see why y'all still married that is fantastic no i mean we've been we've been

together 28 years 29 years we've been married 22 years she wanted to go visit her best friend in thailand so her and the girls went over there so i held down the fort so daddy made sandwiches for snacks and i had cookies and i had you know i had some grapes and fruit but i also did what you do and i did yeah because six kids you just that was a lot he was running a lunchroom no but i got a 21 year old and a one year old so it it it's all over the place oh that is i want to talk to you about that when we off air and matter of fact you should have have donated some of yours to some people. There's some sperm there.

You're saying Envy should have gave it to the brat? Yeah, it would have been nice. It would have been a cute little kid. Still kind of white, but still. Jesus. Jesus. What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story is Pringles isn't the most unhealthy snack, right?

But I just feel like that's not a reason to unroll your child. Correct. Unroll your child out of school. Because that's going to hurt him more. That's right. Absolutely. Now, I'm seeing the lady didn't put a soda can in the lunchbox like that, but still, I get it. So does the devil.

Yeah, it is. But see, we didn't know that 20 years ago. That's what I'm just trying to say. All right. The school's trying to do better. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. And if you didn't hear, Ebony K. Williams, we talked about it in the 6 o'clock hour this morning, talked about it way earlier.

She doubled down. And we're going to talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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

Look, okay, y'all, this will happen. Because I can say it now, Gerald's been gone for a while and he probably has,

of course, women out there that he probably was dating at the same time or around. Gerald and I didn't date. We were just on and off and we were very good friends. Let's just put it out there. We were very good friends. And I remember a conversation that we had

and he said, if we're not married, either one of us are married, by 50 we're going to get married. Okay? And then he said, this was another time. He said, look, I can't, I'm not going to tell you which BET award it was. He said, I'd like to, for me and you to go out together to present an award,

and I'd like to announce our engagement. Wow. I was like, huh? I was like, what? And I was like, okay, that's how, we're that kind of friends. He didn't say like, hey, will you marry me? I was like, that sounds good. He said, wouldn't that be great?

And I said, yeah. And something happened with the award show and us presenting. So not only did we not announce it, you know. He never got a chance to propose. Never got a chance to propose. And things happen. And then, you know. That's a player-ass proposal.

What are you trying to say? I would like to walk out here. And when I walk out here, I'm going to announce our engagement. That's cool with you. Yeah, because I thought... No, I thought that was kind of... I look back on it, I was like... That's kind of play.

I fell for that, huh? That's what you feel. I probably did something nasty that night, too, when I think about it. Whoa, okay. Dropped my tooth bump at Kim, Willie, and Jello. It's the frightening video back there.

I like OGT. I like the hair. Oh, God. I'm sure you'll detail it in the book i will that's right all my stories and uh but that was my dude no matter what he was a very good friend and i'm friends with his family uh me and eddie are talking about going out together uh so you know we're still all cool absolutely brothers now we got to talk to about young miami young miami was doing an interview on the jason lee show and she talks about being bisexual and who she lusts after megan the stallion i'm gonna smash all day tomorrow oh i'm gonna pass because i'm i'm gay

but she's hot megan just give me like she really can't like take me up and through there so have you been with the woman before sexually Jason I've been with a woman before and you enjoyed it I love it are you bisexual really yeah I always say that yeah but like you say a lot you just said earlier you say a lot of things you don't mean it you mean you say no I really do like girls I won't be in a relationship with a girl cuz I'm not bitch girl like But Megan can get it for a night. For a lifetime. Ken, why you look so perplexed?

Isn't she the same one that says she likes to be in her golden showers? Yes. And she likes that too. She's telling a lot. Do we need to know all of this? And then she wondered why Puffy was stuttering. This is why you can't give up all of that.

And he's like, ah, yeah, we can. She's a trisexual. She's willing to try anything. Wow. I wonder what's the percentage of women that are, like, bisexual. And also, what's the difference between bisexual and women who have, like, been with a woman once? Because I hear women say that, like, you know, I've been with a woman once. That's called experimenting in college.

Yeah. I think that's what they call it. I don't. But see, men can't do that. Men does that. Like, you know, I've been with a woman once. That's called experimenting in college. Yeah. I think that's what they call it. I don't. But see, men can't do that. Men does that. He's just gay. He was just gay in college. You know what I mean?

He was gay. That is true. It is a double standard. You're absolutely right. If you tried it. Would you tell anyone though? Would a man actually be like, yeah.

Nope. I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think they would say, I tried that in college. Nowadays, yes, yes somebody would say that they need content for their podcast for their youtube lives instagram lives yes somebody would say that now yeah i'm sure somebody has no i mean but even with young miami i love that she's open but in 10 years she's gonna look back these interviews last forever yeah and if i was a friend of her, I'd tell her

I'd be like, hey, be careful. Don't forget this is going to be forever. Nah, in 10 years she ain't going to look back and think nothing. She's from Florida. Dropping the clues bomb for women from Florida. Women from Florida don't regret nothing. Ask any of the old grandmas that was in the Uncle Luke videos, okay? They had the best time of their life. Alright?

You'll see when the freak Nick Doc come out. They don't regret nothing. Are you crazy? These lawyers and the judges that now talk about, we got to stop this because I know I was bucket naked on somebody's table. You got to think back on Freak Nick. That was a lot.

There's a lot going on. I know women now that'll be like, that was me in the Uncle Luke video. I was in the Uncle Luke video. They'll say that? I've heard a few women say that. Jesus Christ. You know why they say that? Why? Because their body don't look like it did. No, I can say it too.

Look at me in the Uncle Luke video. Oh, look at that waistline. Exactly. Jesus. And lastly, we got to talk. Young Miami talks about all this drama in women's rap. In the rap game right now, when it comes to females, there's so much drama. Why is it? Where does all the drama come from? I was just in the shower, right now when it comes to females there's so much drama why is it

what where does all the drama come from i i was just in the shower and i was saying i was like why is everybody i don't know it'll be so much funner funner if everybody could just be together we could bring each other out on shows and just click up like bad bitches rule the world like i feel like bad bitch should really link up like i feel like it should be a link up that'll be dope if everybody could just get together, bring their personalities together, the different, you know, just I think it'd be dope. Do you think that whenever, because you are in a group,

do you ever feel accountable for things that maybe JT is involved with or that you do and that she gets held accountable? I feel like I really don't care because I'm going to step behind her ten toes down. So it's like if she said something and I got to stand on it, I'm going to stand on it because that's that's my bitch like out we a group let's not act like the women uh in rap are doing something that hasn't been done before like beef is a part of me beef is a part of rap music period like we'd love to see more unity in rap

but it's always beef it's always competitiveness in hip-hop yes you know just because they're women don't mean that you know the same rules aren't going to apply to them. They are women who rap. There's going to be competition. There's going to be beef. There's going to be smoke. It happens. Absolutely, because it's good for the music. I think so. If it actually translates to music, that's the problem. It'd be on

Twitter with tweets. The guys, too. Forget all that tweeting. Start to go in the studio and rap. Like they used to do. Go back and forth. Go in the studio and rap go like they used to do go back and forth go in the studio that's right and put it out there but I challenge

Young Miami to start it you gotta start something you wanna be a part of it she needs to start embracing other female rappers and bringing them on stage yeah she has been recently

I know she did she's been doing a lot of records with newer artists that are coming up so I've seen her doing that but that is your rumor report

I don't know why, you know, John john i've known you for so long but i did not know you the chairman of the rock and roll hall of fame and i have complained a lot about the rock and roll hall of fame changing their name it should just be the music hall of fame why is it regulated to just rock and roll well it's funny uh jay-z said the same thing a couple years ago when he got in i think over the past few years not past 10 or 20 years people have mistaken rock and roll a rock for rock and roll.

Rock is a bunch of white guys playing guitars, which is part of rock and roll. Correct. Rock and roll came from rhythm, blues, gospel, country, and it's an amalgam of sounds that really represented young America and rebelling against their parents, the church, the government, and that's what rock and roll was. I'd say six of the first ten inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were black. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fat Stalin, on and on, Ray Charles. And so what happened was it spread and it found itself in the Beatles, in the Rolling Stones. But also in Marvin Gaye.

And now with hip-hop. But if you trace all the music you hear that's moving young America, it goes back to the roots of rock and roll. So I really felt, and Jay's been my friend for many, many years, and he pushed back on it, and I explained it to him. He goes, you know, you should tell more people about this. Because it was reductively known as rock, which is only one cornerstone. But when Jay-Z won, or accepted his award that Dave Chappelle gave him in Cleveland two years ago,

he held it up and said, now that's rock and roll. Oh, wow. So, okay. And what's the criteria of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you have to have had a record out for at least 25 years. And so that's technically the criteria. Subjectively, the criteria is that you've moved culture that something you've done has moved young fans or other artists to follow in your footsteps so if you so just selling a lot of records is just one part of it having an impact and moving music

moving culture is uh is is a big part of it it's really excellent well that's interesting because i wonder uh is there anyone who's been upset? They're like, I've done all that. I really want, because you have so many musicians. Anyone has it been upsetting? Like I mark all these boxes. How can I get in? Oh boy. I get it.

It's like I have to unlist my phone number. And, and cause, cause it's very subjective and people say, well, I've done this. It's like Cooperstown or NFL. Like why isn't so-and-so baseball in Cooper or NFL. Why isn't so-and-so in baseball in Cooperstown? Why isn't so-and-so in NFL? And that's where it moves from objective to subjective, where once you have the criteria, you have a group of 30 nominees, committees made up of 30 nominees or voters.

And it's like Questlove, little Steven from the Springsteen band, Dave Grohl, music critics. It's this group of experts and then they send the 30 people nominate 17 artists and then they go to a general voting category of

1,200. So being that it's in New York this year on the 50th year of hip-hop, I'm assuming it's going to be a lot of hip-hop inductees. Yeah, well, we've got DJ Kool Herc is getting the musical influence award. 50 years ago.

I know we're in Brooklyn, but he was in the Bronx when he found it. So we're going to honor DJ Kool Herc. It's not hip-hop, but Don Cornelius, Soul Train. He's going in. He brought black music into not blackhop, but Don Cornelius, Soul Train. Come on, man. He's going in. And he's going in. He brought black music into not black homes, but white homes.

And he was, you know, they call him the Black Dick Clark. So I got here and go, why isn't he in? So this year we're putting him in. So it doesn't have to just be about recording artists, just people in music that push the culture. Exactly. Because, I mean, there's a performer category, and that's what Missy Elliott, Rage Against the Machine,

Willie Nelson, all those people are getting in. Willie Nelson just getting in? Yeah, I know. See? See? That's the problem. George Michael just getting in? I know.

Congrats to Missy. Cheryl Crow. Willie Nelson? Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, the guy's 90 years old. Jesus. He finally gets in. Is he coming?

He's coming, man. Wow. He's coming. But here you have two you know you have iconic moments you have the 50th anniversary of the founding hip-hop and willie nelson's 90th birthday happening that we're going to celebrate that night is he going to perform uh yeah he he's going to perform he's still playing he played this way this week in hollywood ball with like everybody came to play with the willie nelson

the guys he's he, he's a machine. I heard he don't smoke no more. I heard he still gets high, but he does edibles. He don't actually... He don't smoke? Wow. Because he's probably messing

with his vocal cords. Did he have something like a cancer or something? Am I making this up? I'm not sure. But you know, at 90, you gotta change, right? At 90, really?

By the way, Missy Elliott, first female hip-hop artist ever to get in the Rock and Roll fan club. Really? Wow. First female. But also, something about hip-hop artist ever to get in the Rock and Roll fame. Really? Wow. First female. But also something about hip-hop that people don't know is the last four years, hip-hop

artists have gotten in first ballot, which is impossible, which is Biggie, Jay, Eminem, and now Missy. Wow. But that shows what rock and roll... I mean, you look at the inductees list, Willie Nelson, Kate Bush, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Rage Against the Machine, Sheryl Crow, The Spinners. It touches all bases.

That's right. Well, I know you got to go, because I know you're doing your rounds. Hold on, musical excellence of the world. We got to talk about that too. Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan. Come on now, Chaka, Chaka Khan.

Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, let me rock you, Chaka Khan. Al Cooper, Bernie Taupin. Yeah, Bernie Taupin wrote all those Elton John songs. Oh, look at that. That's the songwriter, because that's the musical excellence. It used to be called the sideman category, where like a drummer or a guitar player. And now Rodgers is in this producer, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are in. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.

And Bernie, who wrote for Elton. Now, occasionally a performer gets in musical excellence because chaka khan has been on the ballot so many times that that the that the um committee decides it's time to put her in as someone who's influenced music so i'm proud i'm proud when you look at this list it's everybody it's white black short tall fat skinny it's like it's but that's rock and roll. Rock and roll is not jazz. It's not elite. It's owned by the fans.

It's about sex. But it was about rebellion. And so to be relevant, you've got to be evolving. Otherwise, you'd be the old person's Hall of Fame. That's right. I mean, they play music here at the Breakfast Club. Is there a category where they ever get in? Oh, good question.

The Breakfast Club? Yeah, it's music. Are there any radio people in the rock and roll? You know, well, let me see. There was a DJ from San Francisco, I think, many, many years ago, when it progressed. But that's why we're moving towards Don Cornelius and people who basically curated music.

So I think DJs should be. Look at the records you've broken. I'm with you. Look at that. Well, I mean, DJ Kool Herc now. Kool Herc? Yeah, exactly. Listen, 38th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It goes down Friday, November 3rd at the Barclays. And we appreciate you stopping by. I know you've got a lot of runs, a lot of stations to run by this morning. Well, it's one floor here. It's easy, huh? That's right. But listen, thanks for having me. You know, I'm a fan of you guys so much,

and I really, you know, you're so much a part of what is rock and roll from what's seen by the inductees, and I'm just so proud that you had me on. Thank you so much. It's John Sykes. Yes. It's The Breakfast Club.

Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you.
