Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman.

Good morning. I am in the house. Good morning. Queen Lisa Rae is here. That's right. Decked out in all white like always. I thought y'all was going to have a white chair for me. Y'all got the two king chairs.

And I knew y'all was coming, so I'm in the computer chair. You know what happened? What happened was? I ordered these over the holidays, and I thought that they would be here by the time we came back on January 9th, but they weren't, because they were stuck in the queue, because I forgot to press pay. So I had to order some more. Yeah.

But I made sure those went through, so they should be here soon. Yes. Well, that means I'm coming back. Absolutely. Absolutely. How you feeling sure those went through so they should be here soon. Yes. Well, that means I'm coming back. Absolutely. How you feeling? How's everything? Man, everything is good

right now. Like this second. Why? This second? That could change if something happened yesterday. Right, exactly.

And that's exactly what I mean. Is something going to happen tomorrow? Right, you know what I mean? Things be happening. You know what I mean? It's like up and down

all the time. Even when I say it's good that I learn not to say because a minute later it's like, what down all the time. Even when I say it's good, I learn not to say it. Because a minute later, it's like, what happened? Oh, dang. So it's a lot going on. Life going on. Career is going well.

But personal life, family life, things is happening. I got a lot of estrogen in my house. My mom at home. My daughter there. My grandbaby and my assistant all living with me. That's why you came here. Because you were like, let me get away. You know what?

I say that everybody is, you know, me get away. You know what? I say that everybody is, you know, you know, of my labor, you know what I mean? And ain't nobody paying but me. You know, the fruits of my labor

but ain't nobody doing no labor but me. Gotcha. I got all these roommates but ain't nobody paying but me. You don't pay no bills. He's cleaning the house and cooking and things like that.

No, I cook. But I cook because I love to cook and that's my therapy, you know what I mean? And I'm cleaning, I'm mopping, I feel like Cinderella sometimes but that's a whole other thing. So you clean, you cook and you work? I cook because I love to cook, and that's my therapy. You know what I mean? And I'm cleaning, I'm mopping, I feel like Cinderella sometimes. But that's a whole other thing.

So you clean, you cook, and you work? I cook and I clean. I'll tell you how I got my rings. Ow! Okay. Clearly you've had that conversation in the house before. This is not the first time they're hearing that. Oh my God, I almost say it every day. I mean, I don't even like the fact that I'm saying it every day.

It's like, don't even say that no more. Rain listener. Now, last night, Biden, he addressed the United States, State of the Union. Did you watch that or did you watch LeBron? I did.

I did. I did it both. I flipped back and forth. I couldn't sleep. You know, I'm still in LA time, so I was up. I just,

I took a nap and just came here. Like, I'm here. He was done before LeBron. He was done before LeBron. Way before LeBron. Yeah, yeah. I was watching the Knicks,

so I missed him. Nope. You watched the Knicks? You wasted that much time? You watched the State of the Union? You wasted that much time? You watched the State of the Union? You wasted that much time? I'd rather watch the State of the Union than the Knicks.

So we can know what's going on and at least what the plan is. Exactly. Well, what? Not much of a plan. Just like the Knicks, they don't have much of a plan either. Ooh, the routine.

Yeah. No. Yeah. All right, but anyway, we'll talk about it next. You know what else is interesting? What's that? Miss Ray is like the only person

who seems like six in the morning, she's up. Out of all of the guest hosts we have, on their first date, they'd be kind of down. It's one o'clock in the morning where I'm at. I'm still up at home,

you know, going through social media and just not sleeping or thinking about how I'm trying to get everybody to move out of my house. All right. I'm thinking about things.

We got front page news next. We'll tell you about the State of the Union. Also, LeBron, if you haven't heard, we'll tell you about LeBron. We'll fill you in, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and V. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Lisa Rae, in the building. Yep, yep, yep. I'm here. And let's get in some front page news.

Now, last night, LeBron James and the Lakers played. Did he beat the record? Looking for James. He's got it. Coming to the end of the third quarter. LeBron James, a shot at history. And there it is. LeBron stands alone.

The NBA's all-time scoring record now belongs to LeBron James. Congratulations to King James. I stayed up to watch that. I. Congratulations to King James. Oh, wow. I stayed up to watch that. Mm-hmm. I stayed up to watch that. I wanted him to break the record on a sky hook, though. They said he was practicing that.

I saw him practicing it earlier. They said he was practicing that. And I was in front of, of course, Sold Out Arena. They said tickets were about $65,000 for courtside. I seen Ho over there. I seen Bad Bunny. I seen Shannon Sharp, of course. His family was there.

Oh, they let him back in. Yeah. Well, he's a Bronco. He ain't going nowhere. Denzel family was there. Oh, they got him back in. Yeah. Well, he's a Bronc fan. He ain't going nowhere. Denzel Washington was there. Yeah, Denzel Washington was there. A lot of people were in the building. So congratulations to Bronc.

And he had a speech after. Thank you to the Laker faithful. You guys are one of a kind. To be able to be in the presence of such a legend and great as Kareem, it means so much to me. It's very humbling. Please give a standing ovation to the captain, please. To my beautiful wife, my daughter, my two boys, my friends, my boys, my family, my mother, all my...

Man, everybody that's ever been a part of this run with me the last 20 years, 20 plus years. I just want to say I thank you so much because I wouldn't be me without y'all. All y'all help, all y'all passion, all y'all sacrifices helped me get to this point. Yeah, they stopped the game with 10 seconds left in the third quarter as soon as they hit the shot. Stopped the game, that's right.

I mean, you knew that because they knew it was coming. But the Lakers didn't lose last night. They did lose after that. They lost by three. Well, salute the bra, man. Too much excitement. He's still not better than MJ or Kobe, but salute LeBron. You know what?

I didn't want to hate. I did not want to hate. And I'm a Chicago girl, but I was like, I don't like anybody to kind of, you know, run away with Michael Jordan's anything. You know what I mean? The reason I say it's not hate is because we've got to keep things in perspective because I saw ESPN post last night a picture of LeBron sitting in the throne with Michael and Kobe and Magic at his feet. And I'm like, no, that's

not the case because Kareem has had that scoring record for 38 years and y'all ain't never had him in that throne over MJ and Kobe. You know? You have some older people that'll say Kareem sometimes, but most of the time it's MJ. So to me, yes, it's still MJ and Kobe. Now more importantly,

the President of the United States addressed the union yesterday. I don't know how much more important. He gonna go back to me, yes, it's still MJ and Kobe. Now more importantly, the President of the United States addressed the union yesterday. I don't know how much more important. He gonna go back to this. Okay, go ahead. He talked about so much yesterday. Well, when he first started the speech, he started booing him. Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's the majority.

I'll give you a copy of the proposal. That means Congress doesn't vote. Well, I'm glad to see you. I tell you, I enjoy conversion. If Congress doesn't keep the programs the way they are, they'd go away. What other Republicans say, I'm not saying it's the majority of you. I don't even think it's even a significant, but it's being proposed by individuals. I'm not politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by some of you. Folks, the idea is we're not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don't respond.

You're disrespectful to the president, bro. Well, listen, Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled out and called him a liar. I actually appreciated it. And the reason I appreciate it. It's the president still. But they did that to Barack, right? Said the same thing. And they threw a shoe at somebody one time. I that was bush that was bush but they called barack a lie and everybody

thought it was just good old-fashioned racism but no republicans just be standing on their square and how else you gonna let them know that you don't like what they're saying right well he spoke about the china balloon he spoke about taxing the rich he spoke about junk fees in russia and we'll get to it next hour because we gotta pay some bills but i'll get into the rest of that and play some more audio but now get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 get it off your chest it's the breakfast club and lisa ray our co-host is here it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's a new day this is your time to get it off your chest.

as well. But now you pay still on Uber, though. No matter if my daughter use my account or a friend use the account, I still gotta pay. Nah, nah. The problem is people be using, they get kicked off the platform and they use somebody else's account to take rides. I don't think Uber wouldn't care about that.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Hello, peace and blessings. Good morning, y'all. How y'all feeling today? Sean Stone. Sean Stone, good morning. Hey, Lisa, how you doing this morning? I love you. I just want to let you know that, okay? Oh, I received that. Thank you. Yeah, man, for real. Charlamagne, what up, man?

Peace, King. How you doing, brother? I'm blessed, man. I work right now driving this garbage truck, man. I'm here with my other driver named Jose, man. What's up, Jose? Yeah, he heard you. He said hola but but but also Charlamagne I took your advice when you told me to go and make my own YouTube channel so can I shout it out real quick please sure it's Sean Stone TV on YouTube if you guys just put the words together s e a n s t o n e TV you could get to see my YouTube page and subscribe and leave a comment, man. Show me some love.

You know what I mean? All right, brother. That's what's up. Hello, who's this? This is Mari. Mari, what up? Get it off your chest. Yeah, I'm a call about LeBron being the greatest.

Morning to y'all. I don't understand how y'all don't believe LeBron's the greatest. I don't understand how he's better than Michael Jordan and Kobe. How old are you, sir? Because I was born in 1978, and I got eyes. How old are you, sir? I'm 50. Okay.

Oh, he should know. Well, he's seen both. He's seen them all. Tell me, I mean, listen, he's great, so I don't even want to, you know, get into that debate, but Michael Jordan's better. I can tell. I'm looking at the all-time greatest scorer. I'm talking about being four for the all-time sixth.

I mean, man, Michael Jordan falls like fifth in that category. This is about to be crazy because they never did this with Kareem. Kareem is sitting on this record for 38 years, but you ain't never compared Kareem to Michael Jordan ever. But now that's going to be Braun's thing. I always did. No, you didn't. Nobody compared Kareem to Jordan.

No, you didn't. When we were in the barbershop, I always put Kareem ahead of Michael Jordan. You a liar. I love Michael Jordan. But he's one of the people that had that killer instinct. And that's just not him. He's just a team player. And it's not what you call killer instinct.

Mike was too. What he calls killer instinct is what was too. But no, what he calls killer instinct is what I call a will to win. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant just had a will to win.

You knew that in the fourth quarter if the game was close they weren't losing. You don't feel that way with Bryant. Never have in his whole career.

But I'm not taking nothing away from him. The guy's great. Alright, get it off your chest. He's just not Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. 585-1051. See, this is why I'm an ass, right?

So yesterday, shout out to Deval. You know, Deval Ellis, their book is out, We Over Me. He texted me yesterday. He says, yo, not sure if people tell you this often. You have a light around you, bro. He said, I mean that. He says, you from Queens. I'm from Brooklyn, so I'm going to let it slide.

But it felt different this time. You've ascended and seen my peace. Keep going, bro. Because you got a nose job. So what did I want to say? And was he talking about your light skin? No, he was just saying that, you know, I guess he feels something different when he talked to me. So I was like, bro, are you flirting with me? He hasn't seen you since your nose job.

Yo, shut up, man. And cheek fillers. Shut up. Is that what's different about him? Let me see. I don't have a nose job. I think it's shiny on the end, on the tip. That's not shiny.

So what happened was I had these polyps in my nose. What happened was? And I was snoring a lot. And it was hard for me to breathe. So they removed the poly so what happened was i had these polyps in my nose and i was snoring a lot and it was hard for me to breathe so they removed the polyps there was no no and they didn't know smaller exactly oh my goodness i don't have a nose job but anyway shout out to the devals and shout out to the ellis's and definitely pick up their book if you're out there we over me all right but get it off your chest 800-585-1051 now we got rumors on the way lisa ray is doing the rumors give us a little tease what we talking doing the rumors. Give us a little tease.

What are we talking about? I want to talk about little Pretty Ricky. Little Pretty Ricky? Pretty Ricky. Pretty Ricky, baby blue, released from prison after serving time for his PPP fraud. Okay. Wow. I didn't even know that, but his mom made a post.

Did y'all see the post? Nope. We'll talk about it when we come back. All right. All right. Now, he got $24 million, too, right? What? We'll talk about it when we come back.

Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. And then he just did it. You did. I did? Yes, you did.

Oh, shoot. Swing on him. No, I'm going to cuss him out. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to cuss him out. Get some blood on that beautiful white you wearing. You're just going to warn people. Well, that's typical of me.

Sorry, I know. That's not typical of me. That's crazy. Talking about, you know, wearing white. You know, I'm definitely not a virgin, but I might be an angel. Hey. So, Ting, and somebody else thinks they're an angel as well. Pretty Ricky Mama.

She made a post when he got out of jail, and it had wings on it. Now, don't you normally put wings on people? There's angels that's descending. Yeah, when they're no longer here with us. Yes. Yeah. So that was confusing. You know what I mean?

People was like, hey, what's going on? And he's no longer with us. I thought he was just getting out, but he went to the upper room or what? You know what I mean? I think Pleasure P, he welcomed him back and everything. Now, he did it only a year, right? And this is for a $24 million scam? Allegedly. We we gotta say allegedly if he went to jail or allegedly 24 million dollars right i forgot the story i just know it was for a pp he got caught up in a pp scam it was 24 million

dollars and he only did like i think like a year in jail which is i'm not mad at that well here's the thing though here's the thing though he said that you know at first he said that he didn't know where the money was coming from they said that you know it was a football agency or whatever and he was getting money from them and i'm almost like but you're not a football player so i don't know how you even thought that was okay you know i mean but he admitted that he you know took the money and bought some luxury things like a ferrari i guess he had to get that back yeah i guess i wonder how much he actually gave back because you know because you could say i spent a lot of that money and you could have it stashed somewhere right listen man a lot of that a lot of that we told people during the whole covid uh thing that y'all were gonna

end up in ppp prison because everybody thought that they was just giving out free money for whatever reason i promise i thought that that i didn't mess with it and i got a real company and they wouldn't even let they only wanted to give me $20,000. I said, well, y'all can keep that. You ain't get no small business loan? No. Really? You buster. I definitely got me a small business loan.

I got a small business loan that went to my business and my employees. It sure did. I didn't take none of that. It went all to my employees. 100%. Just out there. Mine too. Well, we got actual audio of Baby Blue getting released.

What up, boy? What's happening, man? What's happening? My dog outside. My dog say outside. and we have audio of his mom as well you gotta be careful how you handle people that are gifted because when somebody's gifted I don't care what kind of piss you put them in they'll get out of it

I don't care what kind of lie you tell on them they'll get out of it I don't care what kind of prison you put them in, they'll get out of it. I don't care what kind of lie you tell on them, they'll get out of it. I don't care what kind of prison you put it in, they'll get out of it. I want to talk to some people that have gotten out of some stuff. There are people who put you in and thought you'd never get out of it. But because of the level of the gift that's down inside of you, I don't care how deep the pit was, sooner or later God will get you out of it. One thing you can do, you can take my coat, but you can't take my gift.

That's not Baby Blue, Mom. You put Bishop T.D. Jakes on something, everybody gonna listen. She proved a point. I don't think Bishop was talking about that kind of prison either, y'all. I don't think so. He wasn't talking about scamming. But he wasn't even talking about that kind of

incarceration. He wasn't talking about incarceration. You know what I mean? That's not the type of prison he was talking about. Because if you go to prison, you know, more than likely you're going to have a release date. But you know how short lived people's attention span is. He said prison. He was in prison. They got prison. Okay, moving on, moving on.

Let's talk about Cardi B and Offset, not at the Grammys. Remember that? Okay. They got their own Valentine's Day themed McDonald's meal. Ain't that cute? I love it. I love it too. And she loves McDonald's. She really likes McDonald's. When Cardi used to come up here back in the day before she

blew up, she would always want McDonald's breakfast. Sausage biscuit, right? I don't remember what the order was, but she would always want McDonald's breakfast. So that's very on brand. You know what? McDonald's just not the same to me anymore. The fries are different on brand. You know what? McDonald's just not the same to me. They changed it up a lot. The fries are different.

The fries, right. Everybody knew about those fries. You know? Pig fat? No, no. It was some type of grease. Yeah, fat pig fat. Grease is something like that. It was some type of grease

What the hell out of it? Really? Man, and chitlins with that hot sauce. No, you don't eat no damn chitlins. I eat chitlins. How often?

As often as I can. That long? I like to find somebody to cook them. I mean, you can't find somebody to clean them. That's the thing. And you got all the people

living in your house and they ain't trying to leave? You cooking chitlins all the time? I don't cook chitlins. I let somebody else do it. You should really cook. If you need to get people Living in your house And they ain't trying to leave You cooking shit runs Yeah yeah I don't cook shit runs I let somebody else do it You should really cook If you need to get people Out your house

With the large hot seat orange, lava burst, and a large Coca-Cola. I think I'll go there for Valentine's Day. I ain't been to McDonald's in a long time. Yeah, that B going to stand for boo-boo. That meal sound like it's going to be boo-boo.

I don't know. That's probably normally White Castle. I'm going to slide burgers. That ain't McDonald's. That's usually normally White Castle. I'm the slide burgers. Yeah. That ain't McDonald's now. That's dope. That's usually Bubble Guts. Absolutely. Uh-huh.

What about the Super Bowl commercials? Missy Elliott, she's going to do a little something, something. Okay. For that. Diddy. Mm-hmm. Diddy starting a new Uber commercial. I seen that.

I seen the tease for that one. Here's my thing. The Super Bowl, I don't really care about it until the last quarter. Depends how close the game is. And it depends if your team is winning. I don't even care because my Dallas Cowboys on in there. I'm just watching it for pure entertainment like I've been doing

for the past 27 years. I'm watching it for Rihanna. I want to see what she's going to do. She ain't came back in a long time. As long as she don't do that lift me up song. She's going to do that. Rihanna got so many greatest uplifting hits. He ain't came back in a long time. As long as she don't do that Lift Me Up song, man. She gonna do that. Please don't do Lift Me Up. Rihanna got so many greatest uplifting hits. That's her newest record.

It's a big record. They gonna play the record? That song sounds great at the end of Wakanda when everybody's dressed in all white like Lisa Rae. That's when it makes sense. Wait a minute. Didn't she sing that at someone's funeral or something too? Yeah, at the Charla.

Do? Oh, and... Yeah, T'Challa. Do? Oh, and... Yeah, T'Challa. In the movie, man. In the movie. Yeah, yeah, the movie. In the movie. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news. We got a fill-in with President Biden, State of the Union address. A lot we didn't get to, so we'll get to it next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host Lisa Ray. She's joining us all morning long. And let's get some front page news. Now, if you're just waking up and if you're wondering if LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA score, Mark. Looking for James. He's got it. Coming to the end of the third quarter.

LeBron James, a shot at history. And there it is. LeBron James, a shot in history, and there it is! LeBron stands alone! The NBA's all-time scoring record now belongs to LeBron James.

Now, Kareem had that record for 39 years. 39 years. Drop on the clues, LeBron, for LeBron James. Congratulations to that brother. Amazing thing to watch. Amazing accomplishment. Drop on the Clues and Bonds for LeBron James. Congratulations to that brother. Amazing thing to watch. Amazing accomplishment. Yes. Yeah.

But he's still not Michael Jordan. I agree. Or Kobe Bryant in my book. But that's just... Can we just let him live for a little bit? No, we can't. That's not how this works.

You sound like Stephen A. Smith with the Rihanna's point, but she's no Beyonce. That's what you just sounded like. That's not how this works. That's what you sounded like. That's not how this works. Congratulations to LeBron.

Congratulations to LeBron. Can we just stop it right there? By the way, I was fine with everything until I saw that post from ESPN That's what you just said. That's not how this works. That's what you said. That's not how this works. Congratulations to LeBron. Congratulations to LeBron. By the way, I was fine with everything until I saw that post from ESPN where ESPN posted LeBron sitting in the throne. Right. They had Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Kobe standing at the bottom. At his feet. I didn't like that because guess what? Y'all didn't do that for Kareem the last 39 years.

That's true. You didn't have Kareem sitting in no throne with Michael sitting at his feet. Amen. So now people that love LeBron are going to use that to say LeBron is better than Michael Jordan. And that's not the case. Well, let's just say congratulations to LeBron. Congratulations. We can have that conversation tomorrow.

No, we don't. We haven't had the day. No. Just congratulate the bro first, man. The debate starts today. The debate. By the way, that's going to be a never-ending debate. Y'all know that for the rest of our lives.

Absolutely. There's never going to not be a LeBron versus Michael Jordan debate. debate i mean it was about kobe and um mj2 in the beginning now we got to talk about your president biden he addressed the union yesterday and talked about so many different things uh one he talked about that damn chinese uh balloons spy balloon as we made clear last week if china threatens our sovereignty we will act to protect our country, and we did. He talks about China some more. We made clear, and I made my personal conversation, which have been many, with President Xi, that we seek competition, not conflict, but I will make no apologies that we're investing to make America stronger. We're

the strongest position in decades to compete with China or anyone else in the world. Anyone else in the world. I'm committed to work with China where we can advance American interests and benefit the world, but make no mistake about it. As we made clear last week, if China threatens our sovereignty,

we will act to protect our country, and we did. Busting a balloon is protecting the country? I don't want to fight China. Shooting a missile at a balloon a balloon is protecting the country? I don't want to fight China. Shooting a missile at a balloon. That's protecting the country? We shouldn't be trying to fight China. No.

They too smart. They go to school like 20 hours a day. I totally agree. Now he also talks about war with Russia. Putin is now isolated from the world more than he has ever been. Together, along with our allies, we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions. We're cutting off Russia's largest banks in the international financial system, preventing Russia's central bank from defending the Russian ruble,

making Putin's $630 billion war fund worthless. We're choking Russia's access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military and tonight I'm announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights further isolating Russia and adding additional squeeze on their economy. America needs to look in the mirror and realize they somebody we need rescuing over here. We quick to rescue somebody. Now, we also talk about, speaking of rescuing, how we get this money, taxing the rich. Under my plans, as long as I'm president, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in taxes. Nobody, not one penny.

We have to reward work, not just wealth. Pass my proposal for the billionaire minimum tax. There's a thousand billionaires in America. It's up from about 600 in the beginning of the term, but no billionaire should be paying a lower tax rate than a school teacher or firefighter. I agree. I mean it. Think about it. I agree with that. I agree with that too. Me too. And they keep talking about it, but they keep giving all these billion dollardollar companies all these tax breaks, and it makes no sense. None. That's because they know something that we don't know.

And they've been doing this for I don't even know how long. Now, also, he talks about— I like how he broke it down simple and plain, because Democrats have a problem with messaging. But that's a simple statement that's, you know, very true. No billionaire should be paying less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter. Absolutely. They get it. Simple and plain.

I agree. Now, he also talks about the junk fees of which I'd never understand as well. My administration is also taking on junk fees, those hidden surcharges too many companies use to make you pay more. For example, we're making airlines show you the full ticket price up front. Refund your money if your flight is canceled or delayed. We reduce exorbitant bank overdrafts by saving consumers more than $1 billion a year. We're cutting credit card late fees by 75% from $30 to $8. Junk fees may not matter to the very wealthy, but they matter to most other folks in homes like the one I grew up in, like many of you did. No, them junk fees are ridiculous.

You go to a hotel, and then they charge you a resort fee. But you just paid for a hotel fee, then they charge you a resort fee, then they charge you tax. Same thing when you buy an airplane or airplane ticket. They charge you a ticket, and then they charge an additional tax. Those fees don't make any sense. Well, Spirit has owed me $173 for 12 years. Can you help me get my money back?

You're not going to get that. Well, at least you get that because sometimes you just get a credit and then you forget that you got the credit of where it is and you don't use it at all.

Spirit wouldn't even answer the phone for me. They just kept me on hold the whole time. I had that Marvin Sapp song playing. I can't even remember the name of the Marvin Sapp song

right now. What's that Marvin Sapp song? Why hold it in your spirit? Not hold it in your spirit. What was the other one? I have no idea. You know the song? Why are you flying Spirit? That was 12 years ago. No question. Don't judge me. It was 12 years ago. Let it in your spirit. What was the other one? I have no idea. You know the song? Why are you flying spirit?

That was 12 years ago. No question. Don't judge me. It was 12 years ago. Let it go, bro. I don't even know if spirit was alive back then. 12 years ago. Now, you also talk about police reform.

When police officers or police departments violate the public trust, they must be held accountable. With the support of the families of victims, civil rights groups and law enforcement, I signed an executive order for all federal officers banning chokeholds, restricting no-knock warrants and other key elements of the George Floyd Act. Let's commit ourselves to make the words of Tyler's mom true. Something good must come from this. Something good. Never would have made it.

That's the Marvin Sapp song. I still think Biden was very weak on police reform, though. And the whole federal government has been weak on police reform. He's still talking about training police officers. His Safe America plan wants to put 100,000 officers into the streets over the next five years. Joe Biden is a tough on crime politician, always has been and always will be. They ain't going to abide by it no way. When they get really into a scuffle, they're going to use that knee

and a choke. That's a fact. Lastly, he talks about if he would be running again. People believe this is him alluding to the fact that if he will be or will not be. We all are as formed as I am, but I think the people sent us a clear message. Fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of power, conflict for the sake of conflict gets us nowhere.

That's always been my vision of our country, and I know it's many of yours. To restore the soul of this nation, to rebuild the backbone of America, America's middle class, and to unite the country. We've been sent here to finish the job in my view. So him saying finishing the job, people believe that. He said we. The Democratic Party is a party.

I'm not sure. It is very ambitious to say that. And there was an AP poll that said 52% of Democrats do not want President Biden to run again in 2024. I don't want him to run again either. I think the stress would just take him on in. I forgot how much they say

you age when you're in the presidency. That means that right now, Biden is like 107 years old. A little older. I think about 110. 110? 110. So he'll be 125 by the time he runs in 2024. How old is the person's hand that he's shaking that's never there?

The ghost? How old do you think that ghost is? That's the spirit. Spirit. Spirit airline? That's spirit airline. That was the spirit. Okay.

All right. Well, that is front page news. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Our co-host Lisa Ray is here. This is a great topic that comes from Lisa Ray. That's right.

And the topic comes from... You don't know that? Oh, we didn't brief you? You know. Let's play the audio first. I don't know to this day why she was stuck on stupid with that. I just don't know. But, so we took a break.

And we took a break. I walked over to her and said, Stacey, just do the line the way she wants you to do it so we can get a body hit. And she put her finger up in my face. And she said, you don't tell me anything. And you could hear a pin drop on the set, because when I tell you every bit of South Side Chicago was brewing up in here, that made me go, Stacey, if you don't get your finger out of my face,

but that was all I had to say. Because once I said that, she took off and made a beeline to her dressing room. But I was going to be right behind her because I couldn't take my shoes off that quick. So I was like, wait a minute, hold on. It was like, okay, maybe she had wanted to talk to me in private. And I was going to grant her that. Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

You remember that. And what happened after that? You didn't get a chance to fight her. No, I wasn't really trying to fight her. I just wanted her to finish saying what she was trying to say. Because I wanted to really understand where that came from. Because I was confused. Because it was like 2, 3 o'clock in the morning.

We all were tired. I'm like, I'm saying my line. You're the one. You know what I mean? So how can I help you? That's Cap. Help me help us. You was going to beat her ass.

You was going to drag her all through that set. If it would have went any further, that perhaps would have happened. You know what I mean? I will not deny that. So she was fired. You did get her fired, though. No. Did you get Angelique fired?

I heard that. No, that is not the case. 800-585-1051. Have you ever got a coworker fired? I love Lisa Rae. I love her. 800-585-1051. you ever got a coworker five have you ever got a coworker five that is that room is wrong and i don't have that much power i mean i wish i you know i can't even say i wish i could i would but no that was not my decision that was the network's decision oh all right well let's talk about it the

question is have you ever got a coworker fired? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. 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. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we have our co-host Lisa Rae in the building. She's co-hosting today. Who are you, Lisa Rae? Yes. And we're asking, have you ever got a co-worker fired? Now, this came from a rumor.

A rumor. That Lisa Rae had got Stacey Dash fired from Singalated. Right. And then Lisa Rae said to me, did I get Angela Yee fired? Right. Well, that's the question. Well, this is the audio of the argument that happened with Lisa Ray and Stacey Dash, where the rumor came from. I don't know to this day why she was stuck on stupid with that.

I just don't know. But so we took a break and we took a break. I walked over to her and said, Stacey, just do the line the way she wants you to do it so we can get a body hit. And she put her finger up in my face. And she said, you don't tell me anything. And you could hear a pin drop on the set. Because when I tell you every bit of South Side Chicago was brewing up in here, that made me go, Stacy. If you don't get your f***ing finger out of my face, but that was all I had to say. Because once I said that,

she took off and made a beeline to her dressing room, but I was going to be right behind her because I couldn't take my shoes off that quick. So I was like, wait a minute, hold on. It was like, okay, I thought maybe she had wanted to talk to me in private and I was going to grant her that. Because of that, you you know people thought that she got her fired but lisa ray is saying that is a rumor that's not true that's a rumor because i

don't have that much power that was the network's decision now charlamagne do you have that much power no that was come on angelina has her own show called way up with angelina it's a spin-off for the breakfast club it comes on right after the breakfast club 10 a.m to uh 2 p.m. Yeah, but that don't answer the question if you got a fire from here. No, I do not. I don't have that kind of power. Okay, there you go. Say it loud for the people in the back. Have you ever got somebody fired, Envy? We still ain't answering

the question. Let me think. You don't take that much. I'm sure I have. I'm petty like that, so I'm sure I have. I've definitely gotten people fired. You did? Of course. Where? Who? I don't know. Throughout i'm sure i have i'm petty like that so i'm sure i've definitely gotten people who you did of course where who i don't know i'm throughout throughout the course of history yeah breakfast i mean because if people not doing their job or they're not moving the way we need them to move you know you gotta get them out of here absolutely definitely breakfast club we definitely did who i was in this don't say who then i then. You know who. I think I know who. You know who. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I know a few. I don't know who. We don't know who. We don't know who. What about you, Lisa? Have you ever gotten anybody fired? I like how you did that. That's pretty good.

I'm going to let you slide on that. No. No? I have never gotten anybody fired. No, I'm petty. I like people to work. And if you don't come to work to work, because everybody has a job. Everybody has a position.

If you don't do your job and your position, that means we're losing. And if we lose, that means I can't feed my families and the other people around can't feed their families. So if you don't want to work, we don't need you here. Maybe this job is not for you. So I've gotten somebody fired up here before. And Charlamagne has. I am very instrumental in, like, customer service. Like, I'm really high on that.

And they're lacking that nowadays, you know? So I like to pull people to the side and tell them how important it is that they have this position in this job. And it's like, come on, you could do better because we got to do better. Yes, I do that. I did get somebody fired. Remember that person that called that time? They called me an F-boy.

You was disgusting for that. What? You were disgusting. This dude got a girl, a young lady fired because she was upset that Envy didn't tip her because she helped Envy to his car. You cursed that girl out on the radio and got her fired. That was wrong. That was foul. That wasn't the case.

That was foul. Even though she shouldn't have expected a tip. Right. She worked at Bye Bye Baby, right? I wouldn't even bring that story up. She might sue you now for emotional distress. You know how people be now. It wasn't for emotional distress somebody helped me to the car uh and i took off i left what's the problem she called the radio the next day and called me an f boy and went off on me yeah because you come to that store that expensive ass car expensive ass clothes on it can't tip nobody i didn't have i'm kind of on

her side with this but he said it wasn't her it wasn't it wasn't her it was me and homie but i'm still on her side because he came back it was like you know he ain't even tipped me imagine going back to your co-worker you're like you just walked this man his phantom and he's like this man ain't even tipped me it wasn't no phantom he's lying and i will say what lisa ray said about not having the power to do something you can only make recommendations right so you can only go to the powers that be and be like, hey, X, Y, and Z isn't doing X, Y, and Z. And just for the record, I didn't even do that with Stacey Dash. I didn't even go and say anything like that.

It was, to me, it was, I could have worked with her the next day. I mean, because I don't need to like you to make money. Oh, you did work with her the next day? Yeah. She bought security and everything. I didn't know what they were there for. I felt the tension in the room. I was like, what is the security? And they was like tension in the room. I was like, what is security?

And they was like, for your ass. It was like, what? I was like, I don't have a problem with this, I think. You know what I mean? But I will. I'm sure I got a bunch of people fired. Because if somebody's racist to me or I feel a way, I will go to their boss and I will write a letter immediately. Ain't nobody ever been racist to you.

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. When I used to go to a car dealership and I would go to look for a car and people wouldn't help me, they would just sit there and let me walk around the dealership for a long time, I would definitely make them complain.

All the time. Oh, they just thought you didn't have no money. That's all. They thought you was broke. Why? Because I was black and I was in a dealership. You're Dominican.

I'm not Dominican. I'm black. You know what? I hate you, man. Let's go to the phone line. I hate you. You know what? I hate you.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I'll get you fired. Kayla, good morning. You keep talking crazy hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I'll get you fired. Kayla, good morning. You keep talking crazy to me. Hi. Good morning.

Have you ever got a person fired, Kayla? Yes. Take us off Bluetooth. Take us off speaker so we can hear you, mama. Yeah, I did. I had to take you off my Bluetooth. I'm sorry. Yeah, I did. I had to take you out of my Bluetooth. I'm sorry. Yeah, I did. It was like years ago.

I was working at like a little store in like a shopping center. And I was working with this older lady. She was like maybe in her 30s at the time. And it was real annoying anyway. So didn't nobody like her ass anyway. And we were working one night and there was like a group of black kids, nobody like her ass anyway. We were working one night, and there was like a group of black kids, like high schoolers walking around the plaza,

not bothering anybody, and she's going to look at me and say, oh, they shouldn't let kids just walk around like that. Look at them. You don't know what they're doing, what they're getting into, and she just went on this whole rant about how these kids shouldn't be allowed

to walk around the parking lot. They were all black. So it was just, I mean, and she was racist anyway, we already knew. So I just used that as an opportunity to get her fired because we all couldn't stand her. Okay. Thank you. Now, just to play white devil's advocate here,

what if those kids were up to no good? White devil's advocate. Yeah, white devil's advocate. What if those kids were up to no good? Rose. Yes. Hi. Good morning. Good morning, good. Rose. Yes. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning, Rose. Oh, my God. I'm on the radio. Hi, Charlamagne. I love you. I love you more, Rose.

Oh, yeah. So I'm calling today because I have never gotten anyone fired, but I am in the process of trying to get someone terminated. What are you trying to get fired, mama? Well, this guy in my, I work for an appliance manufacturer. I've been working for them for 20 years. It's like the easiest and the most comfortable place to work at. And this guy is just overly comfortable.

He's excessively absent. He randomly, oh, I have to leave early. I have an emergency. He's excessively absent. He randomly, oh, I have to leave early. I have an emergency. He's 20-something years old. I don't know what kind of emergency he has. And he doesn't help out at work. Everyone else helps each other out

when we're overwhelmed. He does this, that, and this, does his little thing. Three o'clock comes, he's out the door. Now, you sound like a little... Does his work affect your work? Because if it doesn't affect your work, it's like you're on a

hating fence. No, it totally does. If he doesn't come in, then his work falls on other people's hands. There's extra work for other people. There are other responsibilities. And it's just unfair. Maybe you should just have a conversation with him and make sure

he's not going through nothing first. Yeah, he might be having some problems at home. He might be lack of customer service. Well, I heard through the grapevine he confided in someone else that he actually has another side job. See, you a whole rat.

You ratting on that. You a whole snitch out there. It don't sound like that. It's how you snitching on that man. Fletching through the roof and you mad because somebody got a side job. You know what I mean? He a little lady late and you trying to tell on him. What's wrong with you?

I think he was right about the haterism. That does sound like a little hater. We are second worst enemy, boy. After the white man. Won't we do it? Won't we do it? I'm telling you. 800-585-1051.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

Call me. And your opinion to the Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about have you ever got a co-worker fired?

Now, we're here with our co-host, Miss Lisa Rae. And the story came from Lisa Rae, but she's saying it's a rumor. It's not true. Yeah, it was a rumor. can we just played a little clip of why we thought that? I don't know to this day why she was stuck on stupid with that I just don't know but so we took a break and we took a break I walked over to her and said Stacy just do the line the way she wants you to do it so we can get a body here She put her finger up in my face.

And she said, you don't tell me anything. And you could hear a pin drop on the set. Because when I tell you every bit of South Side Chicago was brewing up in here, that made me go, Stacey, if you don't get your finger out my face. But that was all I had to say. Because once I said that, she took off and made a beeline to her dressing room. But I was going to be right behind her because I couldn't take my shoes off that quick.

So I was like, wait a minute, hold on. It was like, okay, I thought maybe she had wanted to talk to me in private. And I was going to grant her that. So after that argument, people assumed that you got Stacey Dash fired. And I don't know how they assumed that. I guess because, you know, after the next season, she wasn't there. I get it, but no, I wouldn't do that.

I'm not a petty person. I understand people need their jobs, their money, and I understand people go through things. And we're women. We're emotional. And even if she would have told me whatever was going on that night that caused the disagreement, I'd have been like, all right, cool.

Next day is whatever, whatever. It just continued a little bit more than what it should have. And for me, it was like, what is your problem? That's not petty, though. Somebody put me or almost put me. Did she put her hand in your face? She did. Oh, man.

See, that's not petty. Now you violating my safety and my boundaries and you put me in a position where I might have to defend myself. Well, that's why the rumor continued that I was gonna get right you know what i mean and so i will say this if you make me uncomfortable or you make me feel in a way where i don't want to come to work or if i'm paying for a service and you're not giving me that service i will complain if i'm on a plane and there's a stewardess and she's acting nasty and i bought a first class ticket or a delta comfort ticket or a regular ticket treat Treat me with respect. And if you don't, I'm going to complain. If I go to a restaurant

and the waitress is acting like a D-head or whatever it may be, I'm going to complain. I just don't know if that works, though. You can complain, but you go back the next week and that person's still there. Social media pretty strong, though. And when you light skin and the veins start popping up in your neck.

Your veins start showing in your neck like he does. He turn red. People listen to him a little bit. Yo, shut up. Hello, who's this? Yo, hey. Chris, take us off Bluetooth for speaker. My bad, my bad.

We good? Yeah, yeah, we good. I've definitely gotten somebody fired, dog. He kind of backfired on me a little bit. But you know what? First, I want to say good morning, Charlemagne, DJ Envy, beautiful Lisa Rae. Peace, King. Good morning.

Thank you. What's going on, brother? Yeah, man. So check it out, man. I was a security guard, man. And I had this supervisor. He was like a military cap, man. He came in there.

He was talking to me all crazy. You know what I'm saying? Just kind of like crazy insults or whatever. Just calling me stupid or whatever. You know what I'm saying? Whenever I was making mistakes. And I guess other people was cool with it but i wasn't so you know i'm saying i recorded his you know i'm saying i recorded him one time and then i sent it up the chain to uh the head supervisor you know i'm saying they they at first didn't do nothing about it but

then i said i was gonna say he was harassing me so they got rid of him and they came back and fired me for recording him without his permission. Whoa. Wow. Yeah, man, but you know what? It's all good, man. I was a security guard. Top play.

You know what? I got a security company now, man. I'm a fitness man. Congratulations, brother. Yeah, part of the plan, man. Hello, who's this? This is Nikki. Nikki, good morning.

Good morning, good morning, good morning. How you guys doing? Good, good. Have you ever got somebody fired at your job or work? Good morning, good morning, good morning. How you guys doing? Good, good. Have you ever got somebody fired at your job or work? Hell yeah, I got somebody fired before. I like how you said that with conviction. Say it with your chest. Tell us about it.

I bet. So I was working at the pharmacy and there was this girl. Her name's Lucretia. And mind you, we both started working at the same time. I'm a full-blown lesbian. I take birth control so that you know i could just my menstrual so on and so forth she was taking it so that she ain't having more kids because she got four kids a little slow now you know i'm still a lesbian now you say you

a lesbian but you take birth control to not get your period you say or control your period yeah basically okay okay and she was taking it so she didn't have any more kids because she already had four. She's only 24, 25, I think. But, all right, whatever. So, we did, and I get pulled over by one of my supervisors. And he's just like, yeah, you know, birth control is coming up. This is in a pharmacy. And, you know, someone's telling us that it's you. And I'm just like, I know it's not me.

I know it's not me. And then I ask one of my other co-workers, and he tells me that it's her. So, I pull up to the side, and I'm like, why are know it's not me. I know it's not me. And then that's when I asked one of my other coworkers, and he tells me that it's her. So I pull up to the side, and I'm like, why are you stealing these birth control pills? And I'm the one that's getting in trouble for this. And she's just like, because, you know, I need the job. I'm like, I need the job, too. So what you chatting about? So I showed her this problem.

I was like, I'm a full-on lesbian. I ain't trying to have kids. I was like, she don't want no more. I was like, she don't want us taking it. And he was like, really? And then, like, we looked on camera, and it is her. And I'm like, all right, bad. I'm like, I don't trying to have kids. I was like, she don't want them. I was like, she don't want us taking it. And he was like, really? And then, like, we looked on camera, and it is her. And I'm like, all right, bad. I'm like, I don't care.

But then she got mad at me and didn't want to come to my house for Christmas. And I'm just like, all right, bad, I don't care. Oh, well, you're fired. Too bad. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So y'all were friends? Because you say she didn't want to come to your house for Christmas.

So y'all was friends. That's my cousin. Oh. Girl. This is too much, man. Oh, my goodness. This is too much. I was trying to follow the story. and it was like, well, you could have just let them do

what they was going to do and catch your own tape. You didn't have to say nothing. You knew it wasn't you. This is what I think happened. I think both of them were stealing the birth control pills. They were. They both were stealing. And they were butting heads because so many pills was missing because both of them were

stealing. And then she played the LGBTQ card. Which was a good play. That was a great play. I'm left being. Why would I be stealing birth control? Right. That's a great play. I'm lesbian. Why would I be stealing birth control? Right. That's a great play.

She the one that wanted more kids. You're damn right because I ain't trying to get caught. So you admit both of y'all were stealing the pills? You admit both of y'all were stealing the pills? I don't want to admit it, but I'm not working anymore. Boy, I swear to God. This is why Jesus ain't coming back. This is why Jesus ain't coming back.

Jesus is sick of y'all, man. Boy, I swear to God, boy. Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy, boy. Sometimes I just understand why the white man created some of the legislation he created for y'all. You pull a boss in the thing, you be like, how am I going to steal it?

I'm a lesbian. And what do you say as a boss? You can't go against that. That's smart. They could have just went to the cameras like she said. They had an old girl on camera. You could have left it at that.

Damn. Well, what's the moral of the story if there is a moral? The moral of the story is I reserve the right if somebody's not doing what they're supposed to be doing to complain to the higher-ups to get them, you know. Terminated. Exactly. Terminated a fight. You terminate it or you fight.

Damn it, man. You're out of here. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Give us a little tease. What are we talking about? Just a little bit of something. Say we're going to talk about

Some suspected celebrity breakups Oh Alright We'll get to that next Don't move It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Have love for me girl

This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. All right, where we starting, Lisa Ray? Halle, Bailey, and DDG spark breakup rumors. Fans noticed that DDG unfollowed his girlfriend on instagram and removed photos of her from his page oh that'll do it that yeah that's that's a breakup first of all

i don't know who does that when these stories come out and be like such as unfollowed i'm like who keeps up with these things and she seems so sweet it's she seems so sweet that nothing can go wrong with her. It's almost like, oh, she just can't be nobody cheating on her. She certainly wouldn't be cheating. What if it was? That's my little cousin. And don't break up with her now.

Yep, that's it. What you said.

That's what it is. Now, they unfollowed each other. What about that? Is that a breakup? What that mean? I think when you unfollow somebody, it's a breakup. That's what it usually is. Or somebody don't mess with you.

Has somebody ever not unfollowed you? I don't even know when people unfollow me. As I said, who are these people that keep track of this type of stuff? I don't even know this. If somebody unfollowed you i don't even know when people unfollow me as i said who are these people that that keep track of this type of stuff i don't even notice if somebody unfollowed me after we being cool we don't mess with each other no more we don't ask for each other but what about what about this though if you unfollow because maybe you got mature and you grew up and you said you know what i don't want everybody in my business so you know what i'm gonna stop it here because i love the jay-z and beyonce pleading the fifth thing you know they don't care what nobody say about them.

They not telling, they not talking, they not doing none of the tea. Jay-Z not even on Instagram. But he is. Beyonce follows him. Jay-Z, what? He was at one time.

That's his fan page, maybe. Nah, he was at one time. What if I just unfollow you because I don't like you on Instagram? I might like you in real life, but on Instagram, you be fronting and saying

things that I don't agree with. Maybe I just don't want to follow you because I want to keep my friend in real life because I don't like the IG you or social media you.

The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, February 8th goes to some students at Colorado State University. Okay, listen, all students from Colorado State University, y'all don't need to take this to heart. Okay, what's the saying? If it don't apply, let it fly. Because I'm not talking to all of y'all. But I am talking to the ones who were sitting in the student section when Colorado State was playing Utah State.

OK, listen, for everyone who performs live in front of people, whether it's comedy, live podcast, sports, you know, singing, public speaking. You got to look alive in 2023 because heckling is back. I don't even know if we call it just heckling anymore, but we are in an era where you can be on stage doing your thing. But the people watching you in the crowd, they are on stage to in their mind because they got a phone and followers and various platforms. And you think they think they just started a show. OK, no, no, no. But they not. All right. All right. You might think you just started a show. But in their mind, they're like, nope, not on my watch. And if they are recording themselves, they know somebody's watching. They know somebody's recording, which is why the GOP was heckling Biden yesterday during the State of the Union. I thoroughly enjoyed Marjorie Taylor Greene calling Joe Biden a liar.

OK, because the president accused Republicans of wanting to take away programs like Social Security. Another lawmaker yelled out, it's your fault. A reference to the amount of drugs that are being smuggled in via the U.S. Mexico border because they know Biden is weak on border control control i enjoyed you know i enjoyed that and biden had to roll with it no script no teleprompter he had to freestyle and push back in real time i appreciated it same way dave chappelle had to keep going when a man with a gun that identifies as a knife tried to stab him okay the show must go on and that is the moral of today's donkey even with the hecklers and distractors the show must go on but is there such thing as too far the answer is yes okay in 2023 of course it is because when colorado state university was playing utah state utah has a

player named max shoga who is from the capital of ukraine and i'm not even going to attempt to pronounce the capital of ukraine but it's spelled K-Y-L-V, and I feel dyslexic just looking at it. But Max Shogar was at the free throw. That's what it is? I don't know. Oh. See? That's why I didn't try. Now you didn't spit all over the microphone, Lisa. Lisa's here.

But Max Shogar was at the free throw line late in the game, and if you a ball player, you have to expect some heckling in a situation like that. But Colorado State University said to hell with what michelle obama talking about because they went low do you want to hear what they started chanting while max shoga for the ukraine was at the line let's go to fox 13 salt lake city for the report please some 49 10 seconds remaining here as shoga goes to the free throw line. Colorado State's fans' intentions to make Max Shulga miss a free throw worked, but at what cost?

The rival school's fan section chanted Russia at the Utah State player who is from Ukraine. Colorado State tweeted an apology to Shulga saying the behavior was a violation of our steadfast belief in sportsmanship. Shulga released a statement writing that this has been an extremely difficult and challenging year with his family living in constant danger. He went on to say that the chants were extremely upsetting in the moment, but that he accepts and appreciates the apology. Let's go Russia. Let's go Russia. That Let's go, Russia. That is nuts to chant when someone is at the free throw line.

Okay, but it worked. He missed the free throws. But at what cost? All right, this is as disrespectful as back in the day when Magic Johnson came back to play after his diagnosis and arenas were doing a chant that sounded like MVP, MVP, MVP. But it wasn't MVP. Nope. I bet you won't say that with MVP.

What, what they were saying? Yes. They were saying HIV. Yes, that's what they were doing. HIV, HIV. Why would you play with someone's health like that? Okay, especially back then when we didn't know if it was a death sentence or not. Same rules apply with what Colorado State did with Max Shogun people over there in the Ukraine.

Okay, people are dying in that man's country. This man's country is at war they got attacked colorado y'all wouldn't stand for someone chanting the name of mass shooters if someone started chanting the name of the sick bastards who were behind the columbine a club q mass shootings y'all wouldn't appreciate that so how about simply show others the same respect please let remi ma give those students at colorado state university the biggest hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb now i do wonder if in sports it's a little different it is because they yell out everything you remember tristan thompson they were yelling out the kardashians at one time that's light though i mean you know that's right though for mellow they was doing something about lala one time oh that's right compared to ukraine he was

going through it at the time they were both going through it at the time. They were both going through it at the time. Like, they had relationship problems. And where's he from? The Ukraine. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, I don't say it's the right chant if you're trying to make somebody miss free throws. Correct. You're trying to get him out their game.

And he missed it. You definitely missed him. Yeah, you're trying to get him out their head. So, yeah. So, when it comes to sports, anything goes to getting somebody's head.

It's not right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know. It's a lot that's not right. Yeah. But, things happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know. It's a lot that's not right. Yeah. But things happen. Yeah. There was people accused of a sexual assault one time, and they were screaming out the

victim's name in one of these games. Oh. They've been doing it before. I think they even did it to Deshaun Watson. I think when he played football, he was chanting to him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, y'all take that sport serious. Yeah, that's true.

They do. They're disrespectful all the time. Anything for the win. Anything for the win. Damn. All right. Damn. All right. Damn. Glad I don't play sports.

Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, where are we going? Lisa Rae's house. All right. We're going to Lisa Rae's house. 800-585-1051. So Lisa Rae came in here this morning. We got the first break when she was talking about it?

No? No, we ain't got it. She's right here. She can explain it. So this morning you came in and you were saying- Sound like you want to hear it. No? That's right.

You were saying that you got too many damn people in your house i do i got a lot of testosterone in me being the you know the queen of the castle can only be one queen you know but i got a lot of estrogen going on in my house i got my mama there i got my daughter there my grandbaby my assistants a lot of estrogen in one place you know what i mean but you say you feel like you want them out out damn that's all said together right out hey even the mama yeah yeah you know because you know it's been like four or five years and i just don't feel as grown as i am you know i want to walk around butt naked if i want to i don't want to conduct my life like a single parent because I'm not my daughter's grown you know what I mean you came back plus one you know what I mean and everybody's enjoying the fruits of my labor but no one's doing any labor but me damn got all these

roommates but ain't nobody paying but me damn you know I mean so it does not free me up to do what I have to do peacefully yeah but I will say this my mom is sick and so I've been taking care of her for the last couple years and so I'm really honored to be able to spend that time with her. But it's heavy. Yeah. You know, it's heavy and it's stressful. How does that affect your dating life? Because you can't bring a guy home.

No. Because, I mean, can you imagine doing nasty next door, you know, to your mom across the hall? You know what I mean? I can't holler, you know, pull all of my face. You know, I'm just kidding. I wasn't going that far all of my face and you know i'm scared i was going i was thinking about like maybe you cook for him maybe at night you know you're watching television i cook for everybody your daughter's walking around a grand baby that's too much that's almost like uh oh hi how are you and then i don't want nobody in my business like that because i don't want to you don't have to explain nothing until it's time

to explain and that's gonna take a little minute and you don't want to, you know, have to explain nothing until it's time to explain. And that's going to take a little minute. And you don't want them judging. Exactly. You know what I mean? Because you grown. You can have as many people through the house as you want to. And I don't feel that way. You know what I mean?

I feel that way when I'm only writing the checks and out to the bills. You know what I mean? But I don't feel the peace that I need to feel because I give away so much energy when I'm out, you know, working. You know what I mean? And so, you know, for a while, last year, 22, it was a little rough. I was working for a free meal and a free airline ticket. Like, I'll go. I'll come on.

You know what I mean? Because I'm running away from home. Oh, just to get away. Wow. Just to get away. So, Mama Cool, you want everybody else out, basically. I want everybody. So, what is the question?

800-585-1051. The question is, how do you, you know, I don't want to, is freeloaded the right, is that the right word? I mean, everybody got a situation. You know what I mean? Everybody got something. The reason why,

my mom can't go nowhere because she's sick. You know what I mean? So that's that, that's that. You know what I mean? My assistant, I need her,

but I can be selfish sometimes. It's like, I only want to need you when I need you and when I don't. So how do you get freeloaders out your house? I don't want to say freeloaders,

but how do you get unwanted family members out of your house? I don't like the way that sounds either. I guess it is. 585-1051. Let's discuss.

When people have overextended their stay, how do you get them out your crib? Okay. Time limit. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club let's talk about it morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our guest host lisa ray joining us this morning lisa ray when she came in this morning she was talking about she need to get all the people out her house yes she said her mama's there her daughter a grandbaby assistants and everybody else and you want him out respectfully respect you know man cuz I know my mom is sick you know I mean so you know I'm gonna stay then there's no secret that we did a

young love fix my life a couple years ago you know I mean but the tables have turned you know I mean she's not the strong vibrant woman she was when she was raising me so now i'm seeing my mom deteriorate in front of my face and it's hard for me to even watch that imagine you know what i mean and it's hurtful it's emotional it's stressful um i feel suffocated i've drained definitely you know what i mean and then this sorrow and guilt just all of that wrapped up and one that's too many emotions to go through every day all the time yeah that's such an honest assessment of a situation like that because you know there it got to be an emotional cocktail because on one end like you said you're the daughter now

your mother's deteriorating but you're in a position to be able to take care of her so that's that's a blessing yes right but then on the other end it's like i still want to live my life too i want my own face yeah it is have you ever, you know, getting an apartment for both of them? Where your daughter will take care of your mom. And that way, you know, you can still have your mom on certain occasions. But that way, they're out of your hair. Look how she's doing her hands. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Yeah. Look here. In my house, there's a lot of tension going on because the situation has made us all caretakers. And being a caretaker is a lot because first of all you don't know how to be a caretaker so everything is just by example and trial and error you know what i mean we're all very stressed because i jump up in just enough time for me to go and do what i need to do but i'll go in the room and say hey mom i'm about to leave i got oh well can you make me a bacon and egg sandwich and i want an all white omelet with just you know

and then it's like a order and i'm thinking but i got to be somewhere in 20 minutes and you know what i mean but she don't care and then at the end of the day i'm thinking she ain't ate you know what i mean and then i try to throw it to my daughter and she's on her way out to do something because you know she got you know things to do as well so it kind of it's a balancing act every day and you don't know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen and and to be quite honest you just you get tired i'm tired what about delegate duties like why not you know say hey if y'all gonna stay in my house this is what y'all have to do i do that too i have a great assistant and she helps more than anybody she does

but she tends to do everything you know what i mean and then i see her and her tension that she's going through and so she's stressed out so if she's stressed out then you stressing me out because now you're asking me things that you should already know and you're not even reminding me what i'm supposed to be reminded because you thinking of other things and she got a life too you know what i mean so it's it's it's it's hard now final question before we go to the phones how did your family feel about you airing them out? Well, you know, I needed help, to be quite honest. When we did Iyanla, we went for my daughter, really.

And my mom just kind of turned up and made Iyanla say, well, wait a minute here. I think maybe it's for you. You know what I mean? And it showed me so much about our relationship. And I learned so much about my mom being with me you know what i mean and i'm so glad that i did because now i understand i have more clarity but the fact of the matter is if you don't work on it and have tools to be able to work on it then you can pass this down as a generational curse you're only oh no you're not on child i'm dumb right but between my mom and dad yes you know You know, and so it's, it just, it made me see a lot,

but it made me have to do more work on myself. And that's cool, but I am splitting myself from every angle. And it's a lot, you know what I mean? And I know I'm not the only one, because there's a lot of people when I share it. I just shared it with Amanda Seals the other day. Amanda Seals, yeah. And she was like, me too.

You know what I mean? And it's so, even for me, automatically, it was like, too you know what i mean and it's so even for me automatically it was like because we shared something automatically and she was like it's so tough and it was like yes it is and we um we cheered up because it was like someone that understood for just a moment and we didn't have to say anything to each other but just look and embrace each other it was like a sisterly unspoken word thing of take care sister this too shall other. It was like a sisterly, unspoken word thing of, take care, sister. This too shall pass. And it was like, yes.

The crazy part is, I'm an only child. So, you know, I got six kids. So, you know, my mother-in-law stayed there before she passed. And all my kids at the house, and my mom and pops, when they stay with me, I love... You got young kids, though, except for Madison. Madison Logan, yeah.

But I love the people at my house. I love when my mother-in-law was there. I love it because as a child, I was always by myself. So I love seeing the faces and seeing the people. And this one, I enjoy it. But here's the thing with me. I had my house to myself for only one year once I had put my daughter out. That's a different story.

But when she came back, I had just got used to being at home by myself and having wine by my fireplace going out to my pool just enjoying my home and i was like okay i like this i'm an empty nester and now everybody came back and i'm going what am i gonna have my downtime my me time my space you know and i just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel well let's take some calls let's take one now and then we'll take some more calls when we come back. 800-585-1051. Jenea, good morning. Hi, good morning.

just found out some information this morning. So when I first moved to Florida, my sister, she came to stay with me because she got into an accident. She was paying at first. So it was cool. Then all of a sudden come up with excuses why she can't help out. Then my boyfriend moved in.

Then I found out this morning that they were messing. Then my boyfriend moved in. Then I found out this morning that they were messing around. I caught them together. And I found out he was messing with a 50-year-old woman. So, they gotta go. That's enough reason right there. You don't need no other reason. Yeah, that's a kick-out. That ain't even y'all gotta go. Y'all gotta

get the F out now. Jesus. Before I call the police or grab a pistol or something. 800-585-1051. We're asking, do you have some family members or some kids or some people in your house that you want to get out? How do you get them out? What's your problem? What's the dilemma? Call us up.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

Call me. And your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Lisa Rae, joining us.

And Lisa Rae, when she first walked in, she was telling us that she has some freeloaders or some family members, her mom, her daughter, her granddaughter, her assistant, people in the house that she want out. She want to walk around the house butt naked. She want to have wine by her fireplace. She want to do what grown people do on the crib.

She want to live her life. Right. I get it. And she can't get them out. Now, you don't have that problem. No. I mean, nah. All my kids are young. I got a 14 year old, a seven year old, a four year old and a 16 month old. Right. So you just enjoying that part of your life. Absolutely. I'm in the prime of my life. I'm in that middle age stage and I'm successful. You know what I mean? I want to enjoy, you know, doing whatever it is that I want to do. I want to explore, find out more about me. You know what I mean?

Without anybody busting in my room or asking me what I want or what I need. You know what I mean? Right. But I love each and every one of them. But I think each and every grown person deserves and needs their own space. I get it. Hello, who's this? This is Tara from Savannah.

Hey, Tara. Good morning. Tell us your situation. What's up, mama? Okay, I have a three-check rule when it come to me. You can stay, but after three paychecks, you gotta go. What you mean? When they get three paychecks?

Yes, the first check is to pay any old bill. Your second check is to pay your deposit. And your third check is to get your first money to get the hell out. But Lisa Rae, you said they're not even working. No, we ain't got time. That's not a personal problem. Lisa Rae the only one working. Damn not even working. No, we ain't got time. That sounds like a personal problem. Lisa Rae the only one working. Damn it, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is

Miles calling from Fort Lauderdale. Hey, Miles. Talk to us. Hey, Lisa Rae, you are just beautiful and fellas, y'all are the bomb. Thank you. But at the end of the day, peace of mind is everything, man. So you just got to put them out. You know what I'm saying? I've had people that I've tried to help that I know, friends, family.

They're in the house. They ain't got no job. But yet and still, you get off from work and they beat you in the shower. Or you get up in the morning to go to work and they beat you in the shower. What you taking a shower for? You ain't got nothing playing all day. Get your ass out of my shower. I could be wrong here.

I could be wrong. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. I think Lisa Rae got more than one shower in her house, bro. No, I'm just saying. You know what I'm saying? I'm not on her level. You know what I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. I think Lisa Rae got more than one shower in her house, bro. No, I'm just saying. You know what I'm saying? I'm not on her level. You know what I'm saying? As far as that, but I'm just saying people, you know, they take advantage. You know, you go in the fridge

to make a sandwich and there ain't no more cheese because they done used the last piece of cheese. And I agree with her. When you're grown, you should be able to walk around your house and do what you want in your house the way you want. When you got people there, you can't live the way you want to live. So at end of the day they gotta find they gotta go i will do that though if anybody's in my house staying at my house and they have the i eat their food is my food like my son will order uber eats and put in the fridge i eat it that's mine

you don't pay no rent yeah i i pretty much do that here's the thing nobody keeps my house the way that i would keep it because they say to me well nobody's gonna clean like you you want us to clean like you and it's like who else would you clean like then that's gaslighting if you ask somebody to clean up in your house and they say well nobody gonna clean like you so why should i and it's like let me show you no you know what i mean i don't mop i don't know how to mop look here i don't know how to pay these bills but i do that's not true now lisa ray if you're one of those uh ocd people that That's me. See? Nobody going to clean like that. That's Gia.

Nobody going to clean like that. As she said, let me show you. No. You can learn how to clean. No, because they do things detailed. They're the type that want to clean the moldings and get a Q-tip and make sure there's no dust on it. Make sure all the bottles are facing the same way. But I got that kind of house.

Because here's the thing. I ain't got you in an apartment. We ain't on top of each other. You got your own room. You got your own space. And you're not paying no bills. I should not have to come home and wash dishes, mop a floor, or do any of that.

She's absolutely right. And I hope they listen to this program today. Me too. Your family is listening. Hey, good morning. What's going on? Joe, it seems like you're so depressed you got people in your house right now. Take his old Bluetooth speaker. He wanted people in the house.

Joe, talk to us. Hey, what's up? I'm Joe from Norfolk, man. Norfolk 757. What up, brother? What's going on? Hey, nah, I don't really got nobody in my house that I want out right now. But I've been in a situation before.

You've got to be honest with them. Tell them to get the hell out of there. Hold on. You've been in a situation as you've been the person that had to tell people to leave or you've been the person that got told to leave? I've been the person that had to tell people to leave. Okay. Thank you person that got told to leave i've been the person that had to tell people to leave okay thank you joe thank you joe a lot of words i think we yeah i think we came to that conclusion a long time ago hello who's this hey this is jay from the bronx jay from the bronx what's going on y'all

peace king how you doing oh my god It's a legend. It's Lisa Ray. Hi. How you doing? I'm fantastic. How are you? All right. So, based on the topic that y'all got going on, man, I totally agree. I think, honestly, the best way to get people out of your house, for me personally, if I invite somebody in my crib and they stay in there, then I already accepted the responsibility. So, the only way that I was able

To get it out with you was my nephew I had to help him get some work So what I ended up doing Like during COVID time He was struggling a little bit I got him a scooter for Uber And you know he started hustling And he did his thing

And you know eventually He was making that money He made like $60,000 that year. And, you know, he moved out. But what I would say, you Latino, bro? No, no, no, I'm not Latino. Okay. Because I would say in some backgrounds, like, that's what they do.

They have people living in their house. Like, that's what they do. Like, in some, I would say, like, Indian family. Like, that's what they do. Their mother and father stays with them. Like. It's known. And I know in some Latino families, the whole family be there. Boy, that sounds so

stereotypical and racist. When you're Mexican, the whole family stay in the house. 30 of y'all in one bedroom apartment. This guy is so crazy. You can't clean that up. I didn't say that. I did not say that. Yes, you did.

I did not say that. That's exactly what you said. No, I did not. When you Latino, it's 38 y'all in a one-bedroom apartment. I think he was trying not to say that. I did not say that. But I understood. I understand.

I've seen all of y'all get out of one car. I've seen 10 of y'all get out of a Kia. That's all you were saying. This guy is crazy. But I know what you mean because Asian families do that too. They do that whole pyramid thing where they send somebody over to work they send their money back they do that we the only culture that don't really do that yeah you know what i mean lisa ray is what i was and also to lisa you a libra so libras like to keep it light i got two libras in the house and you know libras instinctively

uh turn away from people who they feel are too negative or heavy. Yes. So, you know, that's got to be messing with you too. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But I will say this. I know right now we're all there for one purpose, and that's to help my mom because we do coexist together

to help her. But after that, they don't have a time limit. Lord have mercy. I'm not even going to... I translated that one. Lord have mercy. I release lord have i release you lord in the name of the lord is that the moral of the story how soon after though you think would you do that give him time to grieve at least i mean yeah and you know the thing is too my grandbaby's there so i

know we're gonna have some separation issues you know what i mean because she's used to being with me all her life i know that i'm gonna go through a change but here's the thing change is good change means growth you know what I mean and so we're all gonna have to do that I'm looking very forward

to that that's all I'm saying you earned the peace yes I'll let you know when I get it okay alright now we got rumors on the way

what we talking about what rumors we got on the way Orlando Brown he kinda crazy huh yeah you think so I think so

we'll talk about him when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Lisa Ray's here. The Breakfast Club. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Lisa Ray, joining us. Yes, indeed. And let's get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it.

Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club. Now, you guys remember actor Orlando Brown?

Yes. He will undergo a psychiatric evaluation following his arrest for domestic violence back in Ohio in December. They want to see if he is fit to stand trial. I know that he's been in and out of the news doing a lot of different type of things. And that is, you know, mental illness. Yeah, it definitely seems like he has some problems and needs to get checked out and worked on. I like this kind of story, though, because here's the thing. Once you can identify with it, at least you can start getting some help that makes so much sense to me i think

that they should do that for everyone i mean think about how many people are sitting in jail right now and they actually need to be in uh some type of mental facility and when they're in denial yeah that's what i'm gonna say if they want help what happened if they don't want help you know because some people i i would assume maybe they're having problems but don't identify what those problems are yeah well that's why he's having an evaluation though because he's done so much maybe they're having problems, but don't identify what those problems are. Yeah. Well, that's why he's having an evaluation, though, because he's done so much till they're like, you know what? We can't leave it up to you anymore. Right. We're going to go ahead and do a test on you just in case we have to keep you a little longer.

Makes sense. Between the old white walls. You know what I'm saying? OK. Another tragic story. Three missing rappers whose bodies were found in a rat infested apartment they were shot and in targeted attack it was in detroit yeah right uh three victims and i don't know it's like something about they were there for a rap showcase and then the showcase was canceled

so they didn't do the the showcase but I'm thinking, how much money could they really have on them? Get a gentleman on them, yeah. How much money? They wouldn't have thousands. I think it was maybe a setup. Yeah, exactly. I was about to say, it sounded like that wasn't no showcase. It was a setup.

They got that to lure them there. Yeah, we got the news report. Tragic update from Michigan. We told you about a search for three aspiring musicians who have been missing for nearly two weeks. Now police confirm all three were found dead. Investigators discovered the bodies of Armani Kelly, Dante Wicker, and Montoya Givens in the basement of an abandoned apartment building in Highland Park, Michigan. This is just outside Detroit.

The men had been scheduled to perform in Detroit on January 21st and went missing after that show was canceled. Police have opened a homicide investigation. Lord have mercy. I just want people to realize that after that show was canceled. Police have opened a homicide investigation. Lord have mercy. All right, P-Tales brothers. I just want people to realize that you don't have to take a life, an eye for an eye.

You know what I mean? It's just too much going on. Too much violence. I agree. Give me something light, Lisa Rae. I don't know if I got anything light. I mean, we can talk about something. You know, 6'9".

And let me see if I even know how to pronounce this brother's name. Anuel. Anuel. Anuel. Did I say it right? An how to pronounce this brother's name. Anuel. Anuel. Did I say it right? Anuel? Is that it? Yes, Anuel.

AA's brother had a heated confrontation, but I know they caught some on video, and they start speaking in Spanish. I think that's a way that you don't have to let everybody in your business. It took a minute, and then it got to get done, you know? What the heck? I don't know what's going on,'all all i heard was six nine six nine and i guess got into an argument right you got the argument because you explained it like that he said cool though what does cool on me i'm old I was born in 1978 It means butt How they know

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Thank you for synthesizers, instant replay, peanut butter, and standard time. Are these just words strung together, or is it just some connection between them? I don't have the answer, but Crown Royal does. Curious? Well, that's an itch you can scratch this Super Bowl Sunday.

Please drink responsibly. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lisa Rae, our guest host. Now it's Black History Month. What are we repping for? Man, you know, every day during Black History Month,

the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, we release a podcast called I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't Either, hosted by my guy B-Dot. And today, B-Dot is going to school us to some information that you may not know about plantations, brick plantations to be exact. Let's discuss. Now, I learned this when I visited Charleston, South Carolina. I mean, the port of Charleston was the largest slave port in the United States. It says over 80% of the enslaved Africans passed through the city of Charleston.

They've got the old slave mart museum, the hanging trees. Hell, Fort Sumter is a rock's throw away. I very ignorantly thought that the only plantations there were were cotton plantations. You know, when you see the movies, there's always cotton plantations. You hear the jokes they always cotton picking but a lot of times these white overseers just had a bunch of land but they didn't have the skill set to cultivate the items that were on their land. Whatever you had an abundance of is what you sold. There were plantations of spices, there were plantations of cotton, of course, plantations of tobacco, plantations of sugar, and plantations of bricks. I got a chance

to speak to a historian when I was in Charleston because that intrigued me, brick plantations, and he let me know that that was a real family affair. Like, how do you make a brick? Well, you get the ground clay with the water. That's usually where dad would be in the water digging up the earth soil getting that ground clay. Then you got you a runner usually a teenager that fills that wheelbarrow up with this clay and gets it up the hill to mom and the siblings. Second part of brick making is forming the clay into the desired shape. That was usually the task of the children. Once they're in shape, mom gets them, and the third step is firing those bricks.

That was usually mom's job. A truly traumatic family affair. It was interesting because my children were with me in Charleston, and the historian let us know you could tell that the children's hands were the ones that formed the bricks because you could still see the child-sized fingerprints in the bricks watching my children put their fingers in the same grooves that enslaved africans of their age and size touched and formed hundreds of years ago

maybe just think about children on brick plantations and all day long their job is to be in the water getting the clay from dad or running the clay up the hill to mom or putting the clay in brick form. Regardless what your job was or what your role was on that plantation, you knew you were doing that from sunup to sundown, from yesterday to tomorrow, for the rest of your life. I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. All right, well, happy Black History Month.
