Let's get in some front page news. Now, quickly in sports, the Nuggets lead 108-95. They won on Friday, so they lead the series 3-1.

They should be wrapping that up tonight, right? Yeah, tonight is 8.30 p.m. Eastern time on ABC Game 5. In Denver. It'll be the first time Denver's ever won an NBA championship if they win tonight. That'd be fun to watch. Alright, now let's get to some news. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ

Envy Charlemagne the god and happy birthday to your babies dj oh thank you so much thank you so much all right well let's start right off with uh i-95 in philly i seen it collapse what the hell happened yeah that was crazy i'm sure a lot of the family saw that on yesterday an elevated section of interstate 95 collapsed early sunday in philadelphia after a tanker truck possibly carrying 8 500 gallons of petroleum base a product called fire and the fire broke out around 6 a.m underneath i-95 fire officials said that the flames were under control by sunday evening let's listen to what governor shapiro said at the press conference we'll talk

about it on the other side. Remarkable devastation. And I found myself, you know, thanking the Lord that no motorists who were on I-95 were injured or died. Just a remarkably devastating sight. One that our first responders, law enforcement and others contained very very quickly they got people out of harm's way and now under leadership of secretary carroll and others the hard work of clearing the site rebuilding it will be underway and we're going to move as quickly as possible and did they say anything about if there was somebody driving the truck yeah they said um that of course the story's still developing uh but as of yet they

said they're working to identify if anyone uh was caught in the fire in the collapse and it's not known yet if the driver of the truck uh was in the fight up there when the fire began it's really interesting that i'm so glad nobody was hurt because it's actually a pretty good highway um and so that was interesting that nobody i guess you know was on the highway at that time so absolutely that's scary to watch a whole highway just collapse it makes you think about the bridges and everything else wasn't that what the whole infrastructure bill was about supposed to be i guess it takes time to rebuild all that stuff right oh it does take some time absolutely yeah now also we got to talk about this 45 million dollar misconduct settlement what happened in this

situation yeah you may recall many of you may recall hearing about this story on last year wanted to give you a quick update uh richard randy cox he injured his neck and he was paralyzed on june 19th 2022 he was at a june 10th party and the police uh just as a side note the police showed up he didn't cause any types of problems or anything like that uh and apparently you know they arrested him uh due to him being a prior felon but it was not any type of altercation just disturbing them during their juneteenth uh celebration and when the police van transported cox to prison uh they slammed on the brakes many of you may remember that viral story um because they had no seat belt cox couldn't brace himself because his hands were cuffed. He flew headfirst into the metal

divider between the driver's section and the prisoner's area. Now, the video footage that many of you saw online showed Cox begging for help, and the officers accused him of being drunk and not believing that he was injured. Police put him in a wheelchair, brought him into the cell, so they totally ignored his injury. Well, the update

is Attorney Benjamin Crump was retained as a civil rights attorney last year because Crump was retained as a civil rights attorney last year because obviously that was a violation of civil rights. And Attorney Crump has secured a $45 million settlement. It is the largest police misconduct settlement in the history of America. And in addition to that, in addition to the historic settlement, the two police officers were fired for violating officer conduct rules on upholding the law, integrity, trustworthiness, courtesy and respect. And in addition to that, the New Haven Police Department instituted a comprehensive set of policy reforms.

So they updated the policies and procedures on the transfer of people in custody and required department wide training on duty to intervene. So Mr. Cox can now get the resources he needs for his medical care and to assist him with his two young children. Well, God bless Richard Cox. I'm glad he's getting that money. But I hate how he had to get it because I'm sure he would rather spend all that money to not be paralyzed. And I would also like to see those officers never work in law enforcement ever again. I hope this isn't one of those situations where they got fired from, you know, this department, but didn't get shipped to another department somewhere else. Absolutely. I know we ain't got much time but just quick question where does that 45 million dollars come from did i miss that like because it's is it the taxpayers money uh you know because

i can't see uh the police department having just 45 million dollars sitting in the stash yeah great question and and also envy just as i'm glad you brought that up because i was as the last thing i was going to put in was talking about qualified immunity, you know, making sure that that comes from the police, the police officers themselves, because obviously they don't have 45 million. But just so you know, 30 million of the total settlement will be covered by New Haven's insurance. The remainder will be paid by the city. And let me say this, because you'll hear a lot of people say, oh, that's unfortunate. The city has to pay for one. We want qualified immunity so that police officers will be held responsible, have their own insurance so that it's not on the taxpayers. But what also happens with this envy is when the taxpayers have to pay for this, maybe just maybe there will be more accountability with the police departments,

because now the voters are going to put more pressure on the city and on the police department to not go around killing black folks and it comes out and it comes it comes out of the pensions too right in the future no no no that's what qualified immunity is all about trying to make sure that they're held responsible in that way so as it stands now it's normally just the insurance department i mean the insurance that the police office uh sorry the police department has and then the taxpayers so qualified immunity which is a larger thing to unpack that is where you can start talking about how can the police officers themselves be held liable that's what i mean if they get rid of qualified immunity it'll come out of their pension yes sir yes sir that's messed up so the taxpayers got to pay when when the police mess up we got to pay for 15 million of that money but that's why i always said if they get rid of qualified immunity, then they can hit their pockets.

If you hit somebody in the pockets, they know they might get some prison time. They'll straighten up. Hit them in the pockets. But the city should make them straighten up, too. Again, this is where the voters need to be involved and put pressure on the police department to say, hey, y'all need to get this together. So either way, it should produce uh change either way and also i just want to point out that richard cox is an amazing porn name dropping the clues bombs for richard cox all right that's amazing amazing porn this is amazing

This is your favorite white listener, Tim from Toledo. Tim from Toledo. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. What's going on, guys? This is your favorite white listener, Tim from Toledo. Tim from Toledo.

What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. What's going on, guys? I love you guys, man. We love you back. So I've been on a theme the last couple times I've gotten through about toxic people. And lately, I find it's more family, usually, than it is than anybody. And so I'm 45, and I think a lot of people can relate.

Throughout your life, we mainly need to lean on people for help. And it might be in a rough time. It might be a house payment. It might be they order you a pizza when you're down on your luck. And then you find out these people get mad at you. It could be six months down the road, two years down the road. They're on your Facebook because they're mad and you find out that you owe them a million dollars all of a sudden or they didn't order you a pizza they you know they act like they be buying food for like the

last three years you know the story just gets completely blown out of context because they're mad well that's why that's why sometimes you just got to give people thoughts and prayers absolutely you know what and i tried to you know what i just gonna put this real quick i put this on my bio i started a new facebook and i'm adding friends that i would try to go to their funeral or if they would come to mine because otherwise it's just disgraceful people got 2 000 friends and they don't even know half of them i put this in my bio when i need help give me a hug, not money. That way when you're mad, all I owe you is a hug.

But I will say this, you know, in life, and I think Charlamagne and I think even you, Ken, will say this, it's always highs and lows, right? You always have a good part of your life where everything is going great, but it could be a left turn. And sometimes you need help and it doesn't have to be financial. It could be just a good, you know, a hug or a good hold or a good conversation. And those are the people I keep around me. And whether family or friends it's all the same if you can't

provide me that and i can't provide you that then then we don't need to be around each other but i want to be around people that's gonna hold hold each other up and make sure we all all right i think the biggest problem i think the biggest problem is that you know your family and you know and your close friends be having a sense of entitlement. That's true. You know what I'm saying? And when they want more, they act like you never did anything for them. You know what I'm saying? So it could be a pizza or our money.

When they want more, anything you ever did will never be enough. They'll act like you never did anything. Correct. And I don't deal with entitled people. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 now when we come back we got your rumor report we got to talk about the fight last night floyd mayweather

there was a which one inside the fight inside the fight outside the fight inside the fight around the fight there was fights all over and we'll get into all that when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club happy monday yes it's monday good morning everybody it's dj mv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club on bet let's get to the rumors let's talk floyd mayweather rumor has it rumor rumor has it call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting this is the rumor report i mean i guess we on Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. Now, Floyd Mayweather had a fight last night in Miami, Florida.

He fought Gotti, John Gotti III. Now, if you don't know, of course, Gotti is the grandson of New York mob boss John Gotti. Now, this... It got nasty. We got a news report? This was supposed to be just. It was supposed to be. I walk in the park.

No, no, no, no, no, stop. Stop, let up. Let up. Let up. What the ****? I said let up. God is literally falling into frustration. That's it.

That's it. Oh, he can't stop. That's it. That's it. He can't stop. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. All right, so that was melee.

So what happened there was they were fighting, Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III. As they were fighting, it started getting a little too rough. They started kind of grabbing each other too much. They cursing at each other shouting at each other and i believe the referee figured he could not keep it under control so he decided to end the fight when he ended the fight uh john gotti the third kind of pushed the referee out the way and continued to box when he continued to box uh floyd security floyd's team jumped in the ring and then they started to jump on uh john gotti the third and and melee happened i really be trying not to use the n-word but what else are we supposed to call this this is the n-word uh boxing league all right heavy heavy

near the tree at work here definitely okay and why is floyd doing this like floyd you know i i get you know making the extra money like if you can just go out there and do some exhibitions but one day one day one of these amateurs are going to hurt you. Not because they can't through boxing, but because one of them is just going to go rogue like this dude did. And he's just going to attack. He might go for your knees or something one day. You know what I'm saying? You just never know.

Like, why? Well, it was one of those fights. A lot of his other fights that he had, you could tell it was like a class. It was a mutual respect. This one, it didn't seem like it was a mutual respect no well how can it be a mutual respect when john gotti the third doesn't even respect the sport of boxing he doesn't respect the sweet science of boxing and that's the problem when you're somebody like floyd mayweather and you get in the ring with a lot of these amateurs they don't respect the sport well before the match

jocelyn hernandez performed krishan rock performed and blueface rocked and the baddies they say hit the stage before floyd floyd mayweather and the john gotti fight now jocelyn was on the car too wasn't she well she wasn't on the car she was performing but there was fights after like everybody was fighting it was weird like it was just like straight up and down fights fights fights now jocelyn hernandez did fight uh and this is her fighting. Jocelyn Hernandez fighting everybody in this. Hey, man, somebody stop that. Hey, stop that girl, man. She killing that girl.

Stop that, bro. Man, y'all ain't good. For real. Hey, I'm good. Y'all, this ain't it. Y'all, this ain't it. That's what I'm talking about. I can't say the word no more, but I got you still. Y'all, this ain't it. I got you still. Y'all, this ain't it. That's what I'm talking about. I can't say the word no more, but somebody can.

Play my Uncle Ruckus drop rate. The powerful. He's pulling it up. Pull it up. Pull it up, man. Let me know when you got it. I'm like my damn Palo Santo after that story. All that nonsense.

While he's pulling it up, Jocelyn Hernandez, the person that she was fighting was Big Lex. Now, Big Lex is known for her Jocelyn's Cabaret Atlanta. So they got into a fight. They're not sure why, but, I mean, it was kicking. And then somebody, a woman threw, I don't know if it was a glass of champagne or a glass of soda on her. It got nasty. Why wouldn't the Zeus Network just put that on the card?

It was all on the Zeus Network. So why wouldn't you just have Jocelyn and Big Lex fight on the card? Play my Uncle Ruckus drop. That is powerful n***a-dry at work here. I got my candles lit, my Palo Santo going. I ain't got time for this.

I'm just in here smudging myself. What else? All right. Now, let's change a little bit. Let's get that all out your system. You see, I got my Palo Santo lit. That ain't even in my system. I ain't let that in my system.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Teslin Figueroa will be joining us again. And, of course, Method Man will be here. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

If you had the power to go back in time and change something, would you? In the new movie, The Flash, worlds collide in an epic adventure that brings us two Batmans, General Zod, and a badass Supergirl. Get tickets now for The New Flash, only in theaters June 16th, rated PG-13. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God.

Yo. All right, just quickly tonight, NBA Nuggets take on the Heat. Game 5, 8.30 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC. Of course, the Nuggets lead the series 3-1. Let's wrap this up tonight, Denver. Nothing left to see here. I love Miami Heat. I love Miami Heat culture. But, you know, no need to prolong.

Do you really? Yeah, I do. No need to prolong the inevitable. You know what I'm saying? Let's just go ahead and wrap this up tonight in Denver. Because I like I like seeing people win championships at home, especially being that this will be Denver's first championship. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, go ahead and wrap that up then. Yeah. And they've been playing hard. They deserve it.

Now, let's get right to the news. Now, New York City announces minimum wage for app food delivery workers. Yes. On Friday, you guys talked about to tip or not to tip before getting your food at Uber Eats. And again, Clarity, you actually can tip before you get your food. But most people, you know, they bypass that and they wait to tip after the food. But it is clear that Uber Eats is a big topic of discussion. And the timing was perfect after that story on Friday. Because Sunday, New York City announced a new minimum pay rate for app food delivery workers amid a rise in the use of services like Uber Eats and DoorDash

since the pandemic. Now, Manhattan's 60,000 food delivery workers currently make on average about $7.09 an hour. The city said that the new pay rate will allow them to eventually earn at least $19.96 per hour. The pay will increase to $17.96 an hour on June 12th and increase again to nearly $20 an hour in April 2025. Now DoorDash, they said they are not with this. They are considering litigation to push back against the city's, they call it an extreme policy. They say this is going beyond the standards of other industries that other industries are held to, but they are not opposed to a minimum wage for delivery workers.

And Uber Eats said that the city is not being honest with delivery workers because they said that basically the city is telling app companies to eliminate jobs, discourage tipping, force couriers to go faster and accept more trips because that is the only way they're going to be able to pay for this. I don't think this is going to play out well. And the reason I say that is if you think about it, right? If you order McDonald's, right, and your McDonald's meal is, let's say, $5 or $6. Now with minimum wage, that's going to bump your McDonald's order that's $5, $6 plus delivery free probably to about $22 for McDonald's.

And I think less people are going to be using the app. More people are going to say, you know what, I'd rather just drive to McDonald's than pay $22 for a number two. You know what I mean? I don't think it's going to work out right for people. If the companies don't want to do this test, who's going to fight

for the workers? And what do they have to say? Yeah, Mayor Eric Adams, he said the delivery workers have constantly delivered for us and now it's time we deliver for them. He said this will guarantee

workers and their families an opportunity to earn a living, access to greater economic stability and keep the city's restaurant industry thriving. Now, Joshua Wood, he went a little bit further. He is a member of the Workers Justice Justice Project. And he said that people view delivery workers as dirty, smelly and taking up too much space. He goes on to say they want us to be the invisible right he said they want us to be the invisible army that gets what they need done but they don't want to pay attention to how the sausage gets made damn and and your question envy i believe people will pay extra and not mind

paying extra because the reality is you're paying for your time you call an uber eats because you don't want to leave right the house but if it's to the point where it might make sense for me to go get it myself or a person to go get it myself, it will. And I also did notice that when you go to a lot of these restaurants, when you order on Uber Eats or DoorDash, the prices are more expensive, which is crazy to me. Like if you go to a restaurant, let's say it might be, let's say, $7 for a meal, but they're charging $9 when it's Uber Eats and DoorDash. On top of delivery fee, on top of tax, and then a tip, and then a minimum wage, I think a lot of people will say, you know what, I'd rather just go get my food myself. Now, let's talk about New York City charging drivers to go downtown, to drive downtown. Lord have mercy.

Yeah, again, New York City's getting their charge on, looks like, lately. Each day, 700,000 cars, taxis and trucks pour into lower Manhattan. And New York actually has the worst gridlock in the United States. So President Joe Biden's administration is set to allow New York City to move forward with a landmark program that will toll vehicles entering lower Manhattan. Now, the toll is commonly called congestion pricing, and it works like any other toll. But because it charges people to drive in a traffic choked area, it will be the first program of its kind in the United States. Proposals range from charging vehicles nine dollars up to twenty three dollars an hour. Yeah, that's a huge toll. So, yeah, nine dollars to twenty three dollars during peak hours.

And it's set to go into effect next spring. If this is successful, congestion pricing will help with infrastructure and climate change challenges and it could be a model for us for other u.s cities the los angeles times went on record to say that los angeles should watch learn and go next man new york city i'm sick of y'all charging for everything and this city doesn't reflect all the money this city is making new york city should look like dubai okay but it doesn't yeah based off what we pay in tolls and tickets and everything else it should look like dubai but it doesn't in fact some parts of the city actually look like doo-doo okay we already pay too much in tolls we already pay too much in tickets and there's nothing about this city that reflects

all the money that we spend in this city and then then for people that don't know, every time we come to work, it's $23 for toll. Come on, man. And then parking is anywhere from $750 to $1,000 a month to pay for parking. Come on, man. And these are not like exotic lots where you park in the car. No, this is just your typical dirty lot. We just had a lot collapse a couple of months ago. What are we talking about?

Absolutely. This city is trash. But based off the millions of dollars I know this city makes every day, like I said, this city should look like Dubai. It should look futuristic. And y'all got the nerve to be fighting against the casino in Times Square? I would much rather have, you know, Rock Nation and S.L. Green put a beautiful casino in the middle of Times Square,

Big Caesar's Palace. I'd rather that than what's currently happening. At least it'll look like our money's going towards something. But not only that, some of that money that they make from the casino will go back to the city. I would hope so. Yes, but the fact that we see all these rats and rodents and the fact that there's garbage everywhere.

Like you said, I go to some of these other countries to DJ and these countries are beautiful. Charlotte, North Carolina, clean. Beautiful. Dallas, clean. Let me ask you this. So Chicago's the second largest city i love living in chicago beautiful immaculate especially compared to new york but let me ask you so the point they made was that this new toll is going to help with climate control so you know we have the pollution

you know issue last week obviously it was because of a fire but they did point out climate control and they said it's going to help with infrastructure, like, again, the collapsed bridge that we see in Philadelphia. So are you saying that that's all cap? That really, that money's not going to go to us? I definitely think it's cap, because, yo, we ain't even talking about taxes anymore. Think about the high

tax rate that you have in New York City. So the high tax rate, the tolls, all this money the city is making, and you're going to tell me another toll is going to be what finally makes them start investing in infrastructure people leave new york it's going to make people people already leaving yeah it's going to it's going to make people leave new york because they're going to be they can't they're not going to be able to afford it so they're going to it's going to make people leave new york city again and they're going

to go to other places like your north carolina your south carolina your man is again your florida that happened during covid that great migration been happening. Mad people left. People came back, though. People came back. People are going to continue to leave. And what's going to happen is going to hurt people. You're going to see a lot of these buildings

foreclosing and closing. It's going to be nasty. It's going to be too much money. They're getting too greedy. Well, one point that I want to bring out, the taxi and rideshare drivers will definitely be hurt by this. They're already struggling to make ends meet.

The MTA said that this congestion pricing could reduce demand for taxis by up to 17 hey jesus all right well that is your front page news teslan thank you so much absolutely and make sure you subscribe to tesla tesla figaro's podcast the straight shot no chaser podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network and follow teslan uh atlinFiguro on all platforms. All right. Now, when we come back, Method Man will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Method Man. So don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a legend and icon in the building. I got to spill it out.

M-E-T-H-O-D. When do they stand and interview? Oh, it's our love. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? When do they be here and interview? Oh, you ain't got no shame? She said she ain't got no shame. Yes.

Yes. So, Charlamagne, we were having a conversation before you walked in. Yes, sir. We were talking about, you know, our annuals and going to the doctor and this, that, and the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I was telling, you know, we were talking about conversation before you walked in yes sir we were talking about our annuals and going to the doctor and this that and the other so I was telling we were talking about

colonoscopy got one and the ladies in the room was like yeah they put you out and I'm like yeah it was one of the best sleeps ever

definitely it's the same stuff they give Michael Jackson they tell you that before they do it that's exactly what they said I didn't want to say their names but

shout out to Trey Watt but Matthew said they put you to sleep they never put me to sleep impossible right because I didn't know to say their names, but shout to Trey Wap. But, like I said, they put you to sleep. They never put me to sleep. Right. Impossible. Right.

Because I didn't know what the subject was. He never got a colonoscopy. He got a prostate exam. I got you. I got you. I got you. I don't think I've had a prostate exam. You had a prostate exam.

No, I had the colonoscopy. The two fingers. You had a prostate. As a black man, we're most acceptable to prostate cancer. I mean, I got mine checked the first time at 44. You're supposed to wait till you're 50 45 50 no it's 45 now to get a colonoscopy now it was 50 with 50 they just changed it to 45 you gotta get a colonoscopy that's what I saw to book your butt all right so we look around for any polyps so for the uninformed it's basically to make sure you don't

have cancerous tumors. That's right. Correct. Because if they catch it early, it can save you. You don't have to go for another 10 years. So they know that you're free of cancer for 10 years. So let's say if you don't, what are the symptoms of? You might not have a symptom.

Yeah, I mean, the people that I've known that have lost their lives to it, rest in peace, my man Combat Jack, by the time he went he was stage four wow but but he did say he thought that his stomach was getting bigger but he said he thought it was because he was drinking and he wasn't eating he's bloated yeah like that it could be blood in your stool could be a bunch of different things sorry to talk about it today but we gotta make sure you go to the doctor absolutely absolutely absolutely but you can get blood in your stool from straining too hard right correct i never got blood in my stool i haven't personally i don't know but i can't believe we're having a conversation with meph about health when he is

absolutely positively probably the most healthiest person in hip-hop but now i'm informed about getting a colonoscopy i have to oh i'm not gonna look into it i have to get it done absolutely all right well that's something i have to do once you get so happy in the workout game i've been watching you For years on Instagram But like what made you Do it at Wynn It's been about

10-11 years now I don't know It was more or less It started with insomnia For me And I had a membership But I never really used it I would go sporadically

You know here and there On and off Unlike a lot of people do But something just clicked in me And said you know what Let's go Let's go see what's up With the gym

It was about 4 in the morning. I was having all this insomnia. And it was open. So I started going. I had already had, like, my own program that I was following that my trainer had gave me previously. So, you know, one, three days started turning into four days. And four days turned into a month. And months turned into, you know, years.

And my journey's been pretty good, man. I had some good people around me helping me along the way as well. Did you slow down smoking at all? No. I wonder about that, because you were always the OG weed guy. And, you know, like you, Snoop Redd. Yeah. I mean, that's a nice little lane to be in and stuff.

But I always said I had so much more to offer, and I would hate to be just identified as just the weak guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, I think I've done a pretty decent job of that. No, that's an understanding. Absolutely. It's interesting because they got the BET's greatest rap crews of all time. Right, right.

Humble. They got Wu-Tang versus Def Ro. I'm not disrespecting Death Row in a way to perform I love Death Row and everything that they represented. Humble. I just don't know how it came down

to Wu and Death Row. Death Row is not a rap crew to me. For me, it's Wu and Outkast. That's the greatest rap group of all time. But Death Row is not a rap group to me. They're not a rap crew.

No, they're a crew. They're a label. Yeah, they're a label. And I think that's what they judged a lot of it based on as well. I mean, you got to really think about it those are groups you know death row but it was groups within groups especially with a wu-tang clan especially with the way we came in the game as a group with the option to sign a solo artist so yeah it kind of makes sense and i'm just humbled

and honored and in the same breath because you know death row they were, they were out what, three years before we even dropped about three years before we even dropped. And we had heard nothing like that before from the West coast. I mean, I was a big NWA fan, you know, but other than that, everything else kind of slipped through the cracks, even MC hammer, you know, for a minute. He even slipped through the cracks cause we didn't really gravitate to hammer like that.

He even knew it, you know, it was more or less like you ain't hitting in him and me hitting the New York hammer. I'm gonna turn his mother out and he turned his mother out he did exactly that but um i mean to be up against those guys it's honor because like i said they they put it down like i had never heard anything like snoop or corrupt dad's rage any of them really you know that um what was it uh stranded on death row was the record that was the first thing that i heard from them and i was like who in the this dr dre from nwa wow how did you develop that relationship because you had that relationship with them because you was on a mind made up

with pop yeah that that was weird because it was because i had a relationship with snoop and dog pound i mean i had snoop in my in my forerunner uptown wow know what I mean? We went to the gate, and I swear on everything I love, each time I ever went there to drag, I put my money through the slot, and he give me the weed, and I bring Snoop. He opened the door. I'm dead serious. Ask Snoop. Snoop can vouch for this.

Let us in. Yeah, babies running around. I've never been in this gate before. Like, oh, so this is what it's like. Well, yeah, was this doggy style Snoop? Yeah, doggy style? Yeah. Yeah. Doggy style snoop.

Wow. So $800,000 one week, $800,000 another week. Wow. And the snoop was in the hood in Harlem. Yeah. No security. Dog pound was with us too. But for the beef though, what the so-called East Coast was.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, it wasn't really no, we know those who are informed know it wasn't. But the funny shit was when we get back in the car, corrupt look at this shit was like, yo, cuz, this shit got we get back in the car corrupt look at this was like yo cuz this guy sticks the seeds they know about that choco they know about that chocolate it probably was some whack weed that i think about it is yeah you know shout out to benny rat b rat he don't want to put me on to that spot remember benny yes i, I know, I know.

So how did the record come about? Well, hanging out with the, you know, each time they came to the East Coast, I'd hang out with them. When I came to the West Coast, vice versa. And, you know, Daz came and scooped us up. We went to Daz's crib, smoking. He had some records.

He was just playing some shit, and we just spit on it. And the original song had Myself Rage Dad's Corrupt of course Redman Inspector Deck Yeah

I think that verse just got released But I don't know if it's A.I. I can't tell No it's real That was real The one that came out was real Yeah it's real From the story that I heard

Through the interviews Pac was like The record too long anyway Take that s*** off there No disrespect to Deck But it was more or less like He's thinking I got Redman interviews, Pac was like, the record too long anyway, take that shit off there. No disrespect to Depp, but it was more or less like he's thinking, I got Redman and Beffet Baird on this record, fuck that,

let's chop it right there, this shit too long. Took Rage off the record, but I'd never actually recorded with Pac the same way I did with Big. When I recorded with Big, Tracy Waples in the background, she came and scooped me.

Tracy came and scooped me. And I wasn't supposed to be doing the record, so I kind of snuck and went and did it. Why was he supposed to do it? Because you were signed? Well, you know, no, no. It was more or less because Wu-Tang, RZA, the plan was if we get hot,

we keep the money in the family first. Then we'll build what everybody else wants to wear. Right. You know what I mean? And you got, like, your hottest artist in your group at that point in time going to do all the records. You know? I did it twice, too, by the way.

I did the What with Biggie, and it twice too by the way i did the what with biggie and then i went snuck and did how high with red man so you know great as if i'm just saying i'm just saying you know so wait so they're gonna break it down so tracy picked you up tracy picked me up to take me to the studio to do the what with biggie smalls that day and me and puffy played torch i remember that right yeah we definitely played torch i got his ass good too I think I did that like what was puff torture what the hell I can't even remember he was just saying I don't know it was I don't know it was a lot of I don't know I can't remember the actual game that wasn't just a skit he just it was just a skit on the album but we but we used to play the you know we used to do it around the way and instead of

snapping on each other we used to play torture and guess Puff heard the skit and he wanted to play torture. So he got tortured in that mother******. And Big wasn't there during that time. Big was there. Oh, he was there. Yeah, and he wrote his rhyme. Contrary to what people say, he didn't need a pen or paper. He wrote his rhyme there and I wrote my rhyme there.

Oh, so he had a pen in the pack. Yes. Yes, he did. Absolutely. Are those the first draft verses? Like, did y'all go back and change things? There wasn't no going back and changing things. It wasn't even, I mean, we're talking analog.

So it was like when you went in there and spit, if you f***ed up, you had to start over. Start from the top and spit it again. All right, we'll be back with more Method Man. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Method Man. Charlamagne? Biggie ends his verse, B.T. after that with THOD man right behind me but it didn't fall in the pocket because I was I had already written my verse like I'm writing much like I'm already four balls in but you want me to start it with some other it's like okay I'll try but it overlapped that wound up rapping over each other rapping over each other but it still works yeah also his lyric was gonna be me instead of saying me mm-hmm Oh mm-hmm man, like, when I talk to y'all, it's, like, unbelievable, because I don't even know y'all s*** like Greek mythology, bro. Us on the outside looking in, it's like,

that s*** don't even seem real. Y'all like real superheroes. Damn. No. Yes, for real. For actual, yeah, it is. Wow. Because we don't never hear these stories,

so the fact that we had two greats and how they broke it down and how they... I tell Angie Martinez that all the time. Like when i'm talking to people from that era it's like yo that is that it's literally like reading greek greek mythology well it's a lot of well of course because i'm not i'm not going to say let's say hip-hop was in its um early 20s at that point say still young you know what i'm saying but it's like a lot you know what I'm saying? But it's like the a lot, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I'm out in these streets, I'm 20 years old, I'm finding out what life is about. So it was a lot more authenticity.

When you heard records from the West Coast, you knew it was from the West Coast. You heard that sound. When we heard UGK, we knew that was down south. You know, it was a difference. Not taking anything away from the music nowadays, because whatever works, works. And I like some of this but um back then we had identities and everybody was fighting for their own identity whereas it seems like now everyone's fighting for the same identity so

yeah you know you think that hurts music especially with this being our 50th anniversary because it's new york doesn't have a sound No, that's going to spark the mind that changes everything. You know what I mean? That goes against the grain. Because, I mean, when Wu-Tang came out, where were we at in hip-hop, if you really think about it? It wasn't shiny suits, but we were in suits. And a lot of that attributed to wanting to see it at the table,

where the R&B singers in the R&B section, where the R&B singers were to basically put hip-hop on the radar. Plus, it was hot. R&B mixed with hip-hop was hot. I mean, Puffy been using that for years. He took Mary J. Blige and said, well, maybe Andre, but I wasn't in the office, whatever. But they took Mary J. Blige and said, you know what?

I hear these Kid Capri mixed tapes and shit, and they're doing R&B songs, but he's mixing hip-hop beats up underneath it. Let's do that. Mary blows up. Okay, we got Biggie. Let's flip it the other way. We're going to take the R&B track

and let him rhyme on those. Formula Works. If it wasn't for that R&B, it wouldn't be All I Need. There wouldn't be One More Chance. Like that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Big Papa. Even Montel Jordan.

This is how we do it. Which is a direct bite of Slick Rick if you ask me. Come on. Right? Children's story. Same tempo.

Bottom line. It's the bottom line. Did you know All I Need was going to turn into the big wedding song it was? I was scared of it. That was my first.

That's what I danced to if I wasn't. Nice. Nice. I didn't even put the record out Wow cuz I knew what it would do he's successful yeah not in that sense I just didn't want to be putting that R&B like remember we had a problem with that we had a real problem with that and they never liked the sex symbol but that that that's something else that that that that comes with like that's when people don't see the substance within. They only see the flesh.

And I have a big problem. I get it. I can understand that. I can understand that. It's for real, for real. But it was a hood love song. It wasn't like a polished. I mean, you went and got your woman's tampon.

Absolutely. But you can paint it any way you want to paint it. It's still I Need Love, but for another generation. You know what I mean? Paint it in any light you want to paint it in. So how did they finally, but for another generation. You know what I mean? Paint it in any light you want to paint it in. So how did they finally get you to put it out?

I think they gave me 50K. Was it 50? I don't know. I think it was like 25 or 50K. I was supposed to buy a car. Yeah, 50K. I was supposed to buy a car with it, but I didn't.

I put that shit right in the bank. It's crazy to think. I saw, I think he was on Mav Hover. I think it was when you was talking about you can't believe the money that these

artists are getting so when you hear 50k now no it wasn't see they took that out of context as well it was more or less me trying to delve

into the hustle of private jet flying being so frustrated with commercial airlines so much that how are they doing this and in me doing that it was misconstrued

as me pocket checking or or you know f***ing up the scam or whatever the f*** they doing I don't know but it was just me being curious and it definitely got taken out of context but there are some artists that you look at and you wonder like they came in rich like you you wonder and s*** you know what I mean not not to delve too deep in whatever their backgrounds are but it's like

those fine asses come you know what I mean like came in this bitch rich you know I'm not even talking about dudes that had

they drug dealing lifestyle and they known in the street for that but somebody they got the clear blue private jet one way $30,000 coming back

it's $30,000 $60,000 you know they not getting $60,000 for a show. Well, somebody kind of broke it down to me. Okay. What did they say? A lot of times, the people that own these planes are maybe they're staying in California.

Plane drops them in California and shit, but it has to go back to New York. It has to go back to New York. These people are basically taking those planes that are owned by these other people so their flight that they have to take back to new york they're getting on that flight buying a seat basically yeah yeah which is smart as you know what i mean pays for fuel all kind of but yeah yeah that's what it is it is what it is what was 50 000 back then what would that be the equivalent to now you at least 100 125 000 okay you put yours in the bank yeah put in the bank like did somebody put you up on financial literacy back then no not at all and another thing that um really grinded my gears that i even thought of back then was um health

insurance some type of health plan for um because you know sag takes care of a lot of gas big time big time they're a blessing but there's nothing in place for a music artist or even like you know they leave it up to you to have someone to advise you on things of that nature but you young dumb and full of you know i mean 22 years old coming to a lot of money first thing you thinking is how i'm gonna spend it right so you ain't even thinking about where the next one's coming from because it's coming in so quick there's been times where i've gone on the road two weeks come back home and forget what i do for a living not not really forget i know what i'm doing but it's so much fun you get lost in it so much that you forget you get paid for it you know and then you look at your account like oh oh that's a lot of

ohs where did that come from then it hits you you know it's a it's a very it's a very lucrative business i get why a lot of people want to you know just jump into it and get their feet wet in it and try and hit big and it's like a lotto it's like a lottery so and it's a quick way to long problems especially if you hit big it's like your mama good your family good everybody good and now y'all living y'all got generational wealth for however long it lasts you know in that same breath though we're not paying attention to our own mental health our own physical health as well as financial gains or financial literacy so to. And people in the midst of that, as well as being taken advantage of

and deals and things of that nature, by the time you realize that you're in trouble, the people around you already knew it and they're already gone. That's right. All right, well, we got more with Method Man. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We move We got more with Method Man It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club We're still kicking it With Method Man I was gonna ask you Did you ever get to that I call it the uh oh phase

Like everything is good And then it's like uh oh Yeah Yeah A lot of times Really Yeah I feel like you

Would have saved more money Than most Because you've never Presented that lifestyle Never was flashy Never the jewelry. Or he had a catalog that could always put him back where he needed to be. I could always get a show.

Right. You know what I mean? It's just a fact of wanting to get up and go do it. And motivation is m****. When you feel unmotivated and depression, things of that nature, plus you're not feeling as worthy as you were, as you felt back in the past. It wears on you, takes a toll on you. Then you become recluse and you don't want to be bothered with anybody.

But the bills still come. You still got to go out. So you do just enough to get by. Certain things catch up. I had a tax thing going on as well i rest on play yeah they don't um crazy number no not not even not like some of these people no um all right like i said i always lived a modest lifestyle still to this day i live a lot modest lifestyle so i mean i can't i it's hard for me to describe because i'm still in that space where it's, why do I got to get my money?

No, I feel you ain't got to, I get it. You know? I'm just saying. But I know, yeah, and I don't know, man. I'll leave that. They listen, so yeah, that's a good point. I'll leave that. They listen.

I was going to ask, when you got into that, what made you have that love back again? Because like you said, you were depressed. You didn't want to go out. What gave you that love? What gave you that inspiration? A few things. People that I grew up with, they were in the studio making music, was asking me to come through. Battle rap.

Loved those guys, man. Because you can tell, like, of course they get paid for those battles and stuff. But you can tell that they do it because they love that shit. what i mean and that's why i even started and just wanting to knowing that i had more to contribute than what i had knowing that um in hindsight that if i would have did better or paid attention a little bit more uh it would have turned out better for me but knowing that and and saying to myself that there's always time to improve and what can i improve on helped a lot um i started uh being more grounded taking better care of myself as well as my surroundings and the people around me and listening more that's one major thing right

there that a lot of people don't do a lot a good listener is going to learn so yeah one thing a while one thing i loved i saw you do you when you apologize to uh the destiny's child yeah and i just thought that was dope because that's something that you know we we don't do we grow up we evolve and we do constantly think about people we may have done wrong, but nobody ever just publicly said, hey, man. That was something that bothered me from the day it happened. It really stuck with me for a very long time.

I meant everything I said, man. It was genuine in that moment. They didn't deserve that shit. I was just miserable. That's all. Nobody wants to admit that. Nobody wants to admit it's us. I was just miserable. That's all. Nobody wants to admit that. Nobody wants to admit we, it's us. I was the miserable.

Pretty much. Did you ever speak to them after the apology? I haven't seen them. I haven't seen them. But you know, I've, I've run into Kelly. I run into Michelle. Um, I haven't ran into, nobody runs into being like, you don't run into Beyonce. But yeah, I'm running into Kelly.

Matter of fact, I'm running to Kelly Rowland in Flight Club in LA. You know what I mean? To let her know I was very proud of what she was doing and everything, you know what I mean?

And that was before the apology, it was years ago. And Michelle, I seen her at a basketball game. I think she was fighting Jesus at the time. Good for her though.

No, she still is. She still is, right? Make her as a health advocate. Girl, yeah. Love her. When did you realize, when did you say to yourself, yo, it's me, I'm miserable? I knew that back then.

Really? Yeah, I knew it. I just didn't want to accept it, you know? People would say, well, what made you miserable? You had, it seemed like you had everything. You had success. You had the money. You had the life.

It seems like you had everything. I didn't respect. I didn't respect anything. And with that being said, I didn't think anybody respected me. So I just wanted to go away and work on some things. And like I said, it worked out for me, man. I'm not suggesting everybody do what I did or everybody can do what I did. Because honestly, I can fall back on a group that's iconic at any point in time.

So there's always going to be a bag there for me. But the point is is it satisfying enough for me to want to go back what could i do to advance myself i think i'm doing a pretty good job of it man i'm i'm happy and i think it's resonating and people see it you know calling me zaddy at 52 years old what is that that's a good thing man that's a good thing, man. That's a good thing. Well, she can say, she can say, they can say, yo, yeah,

they're calling me Fine AF. I'm going, Fine AF? What's Fine AF? Air Force s***. Air Force. So what got you into the movie and the acting? I've been doing that s***. Do you feel a way when you have to audition because you are such a celebrity

and star people know who you are? No, there's never ego. That's one thing I never had was the ego. I don't like auditions. I don't know anybody that really does. But I appreciate them. It's this. I mean, I would suggest that anybody that's because I get people in the music game all day.

I would tell them all the same thing. Do the work. Take the classes. Read the books. Because when you step on that set, your next look got to be your best look or they will not call your ass back. And when those people break bread in Hollywood,

they break bread. Please believe it. Yes, sir. Me, man, like I said, one day at a time, and I'm just going gonna ride it till the wheels fall off what's been your favorite role right now the davis role because nobody's seen it coming nobody expected that you know and sometimes sometimes i look at the dialogue we get the scripts and i'll look and i'm like let me go right to my point i look and it's like Like, a lot of dialogue here.

A lot of jargon. But I credit the writers for, you know, giving us something that fits the palette enough that we can digest it and make sense of it every time. So it's pretty easy. My favorite meme is when they do your high, high character, and they be like, yeah, that was pretty, yeah, yeah. Got you in Davis. That was fairly new right there. I like the one, I never miss.

I like that one because I never miss. Why the hell did they replace Redman with, like, as a brother? Yeah. He wouldn't get the jab. Oh, wow, wow. Okay. At least that's what I heard. Yeah, yeah.

You know? Did I talk to Redman about it? No. We ain't, we ain't, we, we, close, close. we close close we don't like like that don't even need to be said you know what i'm saying um but it happens um yeah he's not the first or the last person that that'll probably happen to he made a decision and i stick by whatever his decision was i if he feels that was best for him i agree with him got you you know what i love man and i don't know how you feel about this i feel like there's no group in hip-hop documenting

their story and history better than wu-tang and what i mean by that is y'all got the television series yeah y'all got books yeah y'all had the documentary on showtime do you feel like the story's being told properly as rizzo, I mean, it's from his perspective. So it's being properly told through his lens. You know, of course, we all have our own interpretation of how it should be or how it should go. But what you have is what you got. And I'm going to stick by him. That's my dog.

I always wonder what the conversations are like between you and Mary on set. Man, me and Mary be laughing. Mary's funny as hell. Y'all wouldn't know it, though. Do y'all reminisce or do y'all live in the now? Because y'all got to- Both. Both.

Okay, okay, okay. Both. Mary cool as hell and shit. She's the fucking queen. She demands respect and she going to get it. And she deserves it. Yeah. I do wonder about the bond that people have when they make a hit record, though.

What you mean? Because y'all are like, y'all are kind of married for life. Mary made me feel comfortable first when I first met her. I met at Puffy's birthday party. I think it was Roseland. Remember Roseland?

Mm-hmm. Roseland Ballroom. Yeah. She came up to me and was like, pain in the pain with my shit. Like, wow, Mary J. Puffy. And I had to tell her

that Love No Limit was my s*** and I started singing it to her a little bit. But yeah, it was dope. It was dope. Next thing I know, he was in the studio

recording and she, yes. Who set that up? Puffy. Shout out to Puff Daddy. Diddy, man. Diddy. Love that dude, man. Like, people don't,

what they do, they do. They give them his props. They have to. It's like, Puff that n***a, though. Puff been around a long time, man. and I respect the s*** out that dude. And, Meph, I just want to tell you I love you, bro. Y'all my fan.

Thank you, bro. I'm a lifelong fan. You really are a superhero to me. I get around Meph and Wu-Tang and feel like a kid. Hell yeah. Goddamn, bro. Y'all don't get a third seat in this s***. My son need a job.

I'm just asking this shit. He's funny as fuck, too. That's right. He's funny? Yeah, he's funny. Why are you bringing him with you? He got to watch it. Why are you putting him in a movie?

He got to watch his son. He got to watch my grandbaby. Okay. All right. Well, there you have it. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Method, man. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was the song me and my wife danced to it all week. Yes. What do you call that? The first song or whatever?

First song. Yeah, the first song. That was our first song. First song. Mm-hmm. All right. Classic record right there. Yeah, we danced to that.

We danced to Luther, of course. We danced to, we had our share of trouble. That's a Queens, Queens, New York anthem. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk DJ drama. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping let's get to the rumors. Let's talk DJ Drama. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty.

I don't gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club. Now, allegedly, DJ Drama was in Toronto, Canada over the weekend. He was doing, I guess, some type of a panel and uh some toronto dudes posted a video saying that

they robbed dj drama this is what you get for not checking in shout out boy jizzier triple g's you know how we rock slap is this true first of all because folks be losing jewelry and hotels and things of that nature and people be finding it and then getting online you know acting like that is this true uh we don't know if it's true dj drama hasn't said anything as yet the young man said uh that he didn't check in and they started saying drake's name but you're absolutely right checking where toronto yeah i guess so jesus checking into canada sounds crazy yeah checking with immigration that's about it who you who do we check in when we go there across the border uh i can't remember what it's called now what when you're going to canada immigration immigration

yeah it is immigration yeah immigration it is right yeah yeah yep yep that's the only people i'm checking in with in canada yeah so like you said we don't know if it was actually if it was taken from drama or if it was one of those things we left it at his hotel or whatever it may be. But the young men weren't fully masked so I'm sure it'd be

pretty much easy to see who they were. And what if Drake ain't had nothing to do with that? Why y'all putting Drake name on that? Drake got a good reputation in Canada.

He put Canada on the map for a lot of positive things. And y'all just out here acting like this man ordered a hit or something? Absolutely. Come on, man. And DJ Drama is a lot of positive things. And y'all just out here acting like this man ordered a hit or something? Absolutely. Come on, man. And DJ Drama's not one of those individuals.

He's not, you know, we pretty much move the same. When we come in the city, we go in the city, we get in and get out. So he's not out and about. So, you know, I doubt that that situation happened. But regardless, I hope that Drama is okay and everybody's okay in that situation. Salute to Drama. And I highly doubt Drake had anything to do with that them dudes just want to be down they want they want to OVO chain well they made up though drama remember drama and Drake made up

but that's what I'm saying but the guys shouted out Drake in that video like like and if you're if you don't have common sense you might watch that and think oh Drake told those guys to go do that if that indeed happened and I hope Drake hope Drake will reach out and get, if that chain is stolen or a chain was taken, that they'll get drama's chains back. I think that's so whack. I just think it's whack when people rob people. Hold on a minute. You think Drake got it like that in the six?

Absolutely, Drake got it like that in the six. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. Hands down. Okay. If anybody could get it down, it's Drake, you know. All right. I think so.

You don't think so? I told no, man. Okay. I just don't think so i told no man okay i just don't sound saying checking the candidates are crazy yeah you know somebody left a post it was like you know it's crazy you look at some of these these white celebrities they never have to deal with that yeah you ever hear ben affleck saying he has to check in yeah or tom brady saying they gotta check in no yeah ben affleck be having to check in the bronx all the time he can't just go to the bronx without yo shut up up, man. No, for real. He can't go in the Bronx without calling J-Lo.

Yo, shut up, man. What are you talking about? No, he doesn't. All right. Now, 2 Chainz talks about the one time his housekeeper was in his house. He was supposed to be cleaning. He was on vacation, and he realized that his housekeeper stole his weed from his hotel room. We were on an island.

We took a boat to another island to get out and eat some dinner. I had a do not disturb sign on an island. We took a boat to another island to get off and eat some dinner. I had a do not disturb sign on my door. It was gone. And the housekeeper was in here cleaning up. I ain't tripping. I respect it. God dang, I had bad clothes.

All right. I wish you'd take the whole mother. Have you ever had a housekeeper or a maid or a clean person? I don't even understand what 2 Chainz said just now. He just said he was at a hotel and the housekeeper came and stole his weed. He was on vacation and he went out of his room. He put Do Not Disturb and when he came back, his smoke was gone. Should have put the weed in the safe. I'll take it with you to the beach.

No. And lastly, Mary J. Blige, she was talking about verses. Everybody's been talking about verses and Mary should do a verse as well. She responded to what everybody was saying would you do a versus no let me just say this i love swiss that i mean i love swiss that's my friend that's my brother that's my people i just don't care about no verses i don't want to be up there. Who got... And it's no disrespect. I just don't care. Like, I don't need to say I had the...

I know I have some of the hottest records. I know I got a crazy catalog. I don't need to be like, your record, my record, Samson. I don't like the putting everybody up against each other. Like, I don't like it. I mean, I could just put my shit on and just walk away. That's that talk.

That's that talk. She said, I could just put What's the 411 on and just leave. Drop on the Clues Bunch with Mary J. Blige. I think that was from the Essence Fest, right? No, that was from her festival. Her festival, yes. The Screamful Woman Festival. Erin Elysia interviewed them.

Salute to EYL. But listen, I already told y'all this. There's a few people you leave alone. Mary J. Blige is one of them. Usher is one of them. Jay-Z is one of them. Some people have nuclear weapons and arsenals that nobody wants problems with, and Mary J. Blige is one of them.

That's right. Leave Mary alone. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, who are you giving that donkey to, Charlemagne? Man, for after the hour, we need Conor McGregor to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. And I need Bernie, the Miami Heat mascot, to listen up. You're missing your blessing, Bernie. We're going to talk about this four after the hour.

Was Donkey up the D-Day? Man, the hee-haw, dude. It's time for Donkey up the D-Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. They called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard.

Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, just hilarious. Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 12th goes to Conor McGregor. Now, we all know that Nuggets and Heat play tonight game five of the nba finals but last week uh during game four conor mcgregor was promoting the pain relief spray and they had a pre-rehearsed skit plan with the miami heat mascot named bernie drop on the clues bombs for bernie just a half a bomb no stop because bernie i'm disappointed in you but we'll get to that in a minute see bernie was in character during game four he had some big gold boxing

gloves on and with 735 remaining in the third quarter the heat decided to rebuild their partnership with conor mcgregor and his pain relief spray i guess since it's a pain relief spray some pain had to be administered but that wasn't part of the plan okay first of all the crowd was in pain because they were booing conor during the presentation and i don't know if the booze pissed conor off or he decided to really give them something to be mad at. Because Conor turned something that was supposed to be good natured and fun into something violent. Because Conor McGregor hit Bernie the mascot with two left hand punches. It had a lot of force behind him.

The first punch hit Bernie on the side of the head. And then Conor McGregor hit him again after the mascot fell to the court. This is only Conor McGregor's second ko since uh 2016 by the way but poor bernie uh poor bernie the mascot was taken to the er where he received pain medication and was discharged i don't want this to be true but it is let's go to msnbc news for the report please and memo to pro sports teams everywhere perhaps it's not the best idea to plot a fake fight with a real UFC fighter. Miami Heat mascot Bernie is living proof of that. According to the athlete.

Oh, my gosh. The poor guy inside the Bernie costume had to go to the emergency room Friday night after UFC star Conor McGregor punched him twice during this bit in the middle of the game four of NBA finals. The Athletic says the man received pain medication is doing well. Ironically, McGregor was promoting a pain relief spray during that prank. Let's see that again. Wow. Oh, my gosh. Jesus.

You do not want to get hit like that by Conor McGregor. Unsure as to why it was he reacted that way. I think that was Stephanie Ruhle. Was that was he reacted that way i think that was stephanie rule was that stephanie rule i think that was right i think that's stephanie rule salute to stephanie rule if that was you now this is why i'm disappointed in bernie uh the miami heat mascot bernie you missing your blessing i was looking at a headline in usa today this morning and the headline said after conor mcgregor punches miami heat mascot bernie he's ready for potential game six bernie sit down for a minute let your uncle charlotte bill with you for a moment uh pre-rehearsed skit that the miami heat okay this pain medication spray and conor mcgregor were in on if it was

pre-rehearsed that means exactly what that sounds like it was pre-planned so if you pre-plan something with an organization that's worth three3 billion with annual revenue of $326 million, not to mention, according to Sportico, Conor McGregor is currently worth $615 million. If you pre-plan something with those two existing entities, you will not be available for game six. OK, because I would still be in the hospital right now. Absolutely. All right. Oh, my God. My God. My God. I'm hurt. My neck, god i'm hurt my neck my back my neck and my back i want 67 million but we can set a lot of quote for 3.5 okay that's a million dollars a punch and a 0.5 for pain and suffering eric's poster he's coach gonna say that's the

miami heat toughness that we're talking about we won't reveal who it is but yeah he can take a punch and get back up he's not gonna miss any time bernie the miami heat are tough but they about to be home after the nuggets get them out of here in the nba finals difference between the heat and you is the heat players already got their millions for the year but what about you bernie they betrayed you by not going according to the plan and now you got a permanent headache don't you nephew you thought everything was fine but now it's hard for you to sleep because of this throbbing headache that you can't get rid of what's that you say you saw a commercial for conor mcgregor's proper 12 whiskey and it traumatized you okay now we can settle out

of court for four million we need we need another 0.5 for the trauma okay all i'm simply saying is conor mcgregor loves to act a damn donkey and bernie you have to act a damn donkey too so you can get paid i have no idea what triggered triggered Conor McGregor and made him really hit you. Maybe he don't know how to play. Maybe he got a little Lenny from Mice and Men in him. Maybe he was drunk off proper 12 whiskey and took things too far. Maybe you were just annoying him and he couldn't wait to

hit you for real. I don't know. All I know is when I look at the combined net worths of the Miami Heat and Conor McGregor, I see almost 4 billion reasons for you to still be in the hospital. Okay, Conor McGregor, I see almost four billion reasons for you to still be in the hospital. Okay, Conor McGregor, you haven't won a fight in three years. All right, January 18th, 2020

against Donald Cowboy Cerrone was the last time you won a fight. Maybe if you start hitting your opponents as hard as you hit Bernie, the Miami Heat mascot, then maybe, just maybe, your luck in the octagon may possibly change. But in the meantime,

please give Conor McGregor the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Bernie, you missing your blessing? You still got time to be hurt. All you gotta do is wake up with a headache this morning

and go back to the hospital. That's it. I'm with you. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace, BET. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines.

800-585-1051. Speaking of fighting. Speaking of fighting, over the weekend was the fight. Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III. If you want to call it that. It was some Negro nonsense, but whatever. Well, the fight was stopped early. The ref, they said, believed it was too much talking going on and it went past

what it was supposed to. Obviously, he was right. He tried to stop the fight. Nobody wanted to stop the fight, so the fight kept going on. And then there was a fight outside of it. But the fight that we want to discuss is not Gotti and Mayweather. We want to talk about Jocelyn Hernandez. That should have been on

the undercard. Alright, so Jocelyn Hernandez got into a fight outside and people are talking about her husband, Ballistic, joining in on that fight. So let's open up the phone lines lines 800-585-1051 well she got into a fight and then you know he kicked allegedly i'll just say allegedly but we all seen it but he allegedly jumped in when his wife was fighting okay so we're asking 800-585-1051 fellas if your woman was got into a fight would you jump in or would you let her handle it herself? 101. And ladies

The MSNBC anchor, I want to quote her, is Yasmin Vossahain. Okay. I know I didn't pronounce that right. Yeah. And also, we said immigration is customs. Earlier in the rumor report, we were talking about going to Canada. You got to go through immigration.

You got to go through customs. Oh, okay. Yeah, customs. They knew what we were talking about. They didn't know what we were talking about. Anyway, but let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Again, fellas, if your woman was fighting, would you jump in?

I will, I can see myself holding the other person and letting my wife get her licks off. You know what I'm saying? If she's getting jumped, I'm definitely going to pepper spray every op in sight.

Okay. All right. But yes, I'm intervening because I don't know what can happen in those situations. That's the mother of my child. That's my queen. I'm not about to sit there and watch her get hurt or potentially killed if somebody got a knife or a razor okay over no fight i'm absolutely intervening if i see my uh queen getting down yeah if my wife swings i'm swinging you know uh it is what it is my wife she my wife doesn't move off of emotion she thinks

about everything and if somebody got my wife to the point where she is swinging, there is no questions asked. I'm swinging as well. Like you said, that is my wife, the mother of our six kids. And it is what it is. Yeah, I feel that way too. My wife is that way. My wife is like, you know, if she is in a fight, I know the other person wrong. Absolutely.

Because her whole demeanor is stoic. Right. You know what I mean? She don't even move like that.

her let my wife get her licks off. And if she getting jumped, pepper spray is definitely... Bro, some of these women are strong out there. Well. I'm jumping in. That's true, too. Depending on what type of woman. It only takes one swing.

I can tell you all that right now. Because some of y'all days be getting very sporty. You know what I mean? And, you know, that's going to cause for a different type of conversation. Yeah. It is what it is. All I'm simply saying is I'm definitely interviewing in some way, shape, or form. But every case is different.

Okay. Hello, who's this? Thomas from Brooklyn, you heard? Thomas from Brooklyn, you heard? I know what you're doing. You're from Brooklyn. Your wife's swinging. Your girl's swinging.

You're swinging, Thomas. Yeah, that's a fact. Ain't nobody going to put their hands on my wife, sir. You're definitely not going to go home and have a curtsy out with my wife. No, for real. That's part of it. Like, you know, at some point, you got to just factor in, you know, human emotion. Like, I'm not letting nobody just beat up on my wife.

Are you crazy? No way. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Mac. How you doing? Good morning. Hey, good morning, brother. What's your thoughts? Your wife get into an incident. How you doing? Good morning. Hey, good morning, brother. What's your thoughts?

Your wife get into an incident. What you doing? My wife is Puerto Rican and black. I'm Jamaican. I'm jumping in there. There's no fair ones unless she's on the undercard, unless she's getting paid to fight. There's no fair ones in this life. I'm not about to come home and have her cut me out in Spanish and saying, oh, why are

you even jumping and helping me out? For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, for right, for overhand rights. I ain't playing that game. Yeah, man. And that's your wife. Like, nowadays, ain't nobody fighting fair. People got knives. They got blades, all kind of stuff.

Nah, man. Hello, who's this? This is Christina. Hey, Christina, good morning. So we're asking, if you get into an altercation and your husband's there, what you want your husband to do? I want him to slide every last one of them holes. Okay? I've been in a long-term relationship before.

I'm not married yet. I hope to be soon. But I've been in a long-term relationship where some girl stepped to me. Me and my man was out at, like, after hours. And before I could even, like, this is the beginning of our relationship. That's why we've been together for so long. Before I could even open my mouth and get to barking with him, he stepped in front of me. He was not about to let me fight.

And then he said, if one of them touch you, I'm sliding his a**. And that's just that. The fine slide, man. The fine slide. Slide, meaning he's going to drag her knees across these floors and put her hands on him. I mean, it's the truth. But I will also tell you this with my wife. If there's an altercation where we out in the street and I get into something, my's jumping in i don't want i don't want my wife i don't want her to but

my wife my wife is jumping you don't want her to you don't want her to but as she should as a woman i'm jumping in i'm protecting my man just as much as i hope we're a team well get the gun i don't want that's why you teach your wife to shoot i don't want you jumping in get the pistol get the pistol you see me out here getting my ass can't get the pistol. Exactly. I'm running to the car. I'm popping the trunk. That's right. That's right. Do that. Whatever you gotta do. So we're together. So I'm gonna protect you in the best manner that I

can as much as I would hope that you protect me. That's right. Don't just come running over there. If you see me getting into it with some guys, don't you just come over there with yourself. Get us both beat up. Grab the goddamn pistol. Grab the gun. Why you ain't come over there with yourself. Get us both beat up. Grab the goddamn pistol. Grab the gun. Why you ain't come over here with the gun?

800-585-1051. Your wife gets into an incident. Do you help her or do you let her shoot the one-on-one? And ladies, do you want your man to help? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.

Let's talk about it. 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 the fight over the weekend. Floyd Mayweather fought John Gotti III, but the fight just kept going outside the ring. And Jocelyn Hernandez got into it with Big Lex. Big Lex is from Jocelyn's cabaret Atlanta.

And Jocelyn's husband jumped in. So we're asking 800-585-1051, what would you do in that situation, fellas? Are you jumping in with your wife or are you letting her just let her handle her own? Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, it's John. Hey, John, where you calling from? Augusta, Georgia. Augusta, Georgia. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? This is John. Hey, John. Where you calling from? Augusta, Georgia.

Augusta, Georgia. Now, your wife get into a fight. What you doing, John? Man, who started it? Man, you so stupid. Why does it matter who started it? Let's say your wife fight. What you doing? Because this is a fan fight.

Man, I can't go in there and hit no woman. I try to break it up. Don't get me wrong. But when you breaking it up, you got to hold the person, your woman, fighting so she can get some licks up. I'm going to hold them both. Man, no, man. That's the only thing. I'm going to be in the fight.

John, you're single, aren't you? No, I'm married, man. My wife already knows what it is. You don't like her? You don't like your wife much? No, I love my wife. Don't get me wrong. You want somebody to play with you. If I get into a fight, I don't want her? You don't like your wife, do you? No, I love my wife. Don't get me wrong. You want somebody to put hands on her.

But at the same time, if I get into a fight, I don't want her to jump in. Because she can't do nothing unless she's coming with the gun. John, is your wife with you now? No, she ain't with me. No, I just started working, man. I've been in the business for nine months. I'm at work, man. Be honest.

You want somebody to put hands on your wife a little bit, huh? Damn it, man. No, I won't put my hands on my wife. I got a great wife. I can't tell. No, I won't put my hands on my wife. I got a great wife. I can't tell. I definitely can't tell. If you're not willing to defend her honor! It's like, well, who started it?

Jesus, John. Hello, who's this? This is Cheryl. Hey, good morning, Cheryl. We're talking. If you got into an incident, would you want your man to jump in? I would not want him to jump in.

I would want to stand on my own. What about if you lose? If I lose, I lose. If I win, I win. Just be there later on to put some ice on my lumps if I lose. If I'm getting jumped, I'm going to need you to pull them up off of me. Damn. I don't think

that's in our nature. I think if you love somebody, your natural love for that person is going to make you intervene in some way, shape, or form. You're not going to sit around and just watch somebody you love get their ass kicked. You are absolutely right. You are absolutely right.

Because I can't do it if I can't be there if he's fighting because I'm going to jump in it. See, you're going to jump in when you fight, but you want him to chill. I don't want him to look like a punk. I don't want my husband to look like a punk. He ain't going to look like no punk. He's defending his wife's honor. He ain't going to look like no punk. You're right.

You're right. You're right. You are right. Is pepper spray fair game? Yes. If you see somebody just swinging on your wife, you can just... Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, right? I would think so.

Absolutely. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Taylor. I'm from Detroit. Taylor, what up, though? Hey, what's up? Now, you get into a fight. Your man's there.

You want him to jump in? Okay, so I don't want to... I don't know. Because if I was getting jumped, I'm not going to lie. I would want somebody to save me. But he's going to jump in regardless. Whether I'm winning the fight, losing the fight, that's just how we get down here. So, they know

y'all went coked out and raged out. They should have had somebody on backup to handle him as well. That's what she should have done. By the way, if you're getting jumped, somebody jump on my wife. All hands on deck. I don't want to hear it. Of course you're going to intervene in that situation. Pepper spray crazy. Alright?

Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy Remy. Remy, what's up, man? Your wife or your girl in a fight, you jumping in? Oh, yeah, of course I'm jumping in. I'm overprotective of my woman, you know, especially everybody I love. So if I feel like they're in a fight and I think it hits the wrong way, i'm jumping in i'm overprotective of my woman you know especially everybody i love so if i feel like they in a fight and i think it hits the wrong way i'm jumping in i don't care you know whether they got they on or not i don't see i don't see what man could sit on

the sidelines while that's happening that's what i said but when you say jumping in i gotta define jumping in a little bit more because i'm gonna to intervene. I don't know if I'm going to be throwing blows, but some pepper spray is going to come out. And like I said, I will hold a woman while my wife is getting her licks off. Yeah, nah. My wife's swinging. I'm swinging. It is what it is. I can't see myself swinging.

Yeah, my wife's swinging. I'm swinging. Swinging's not crazy. And I'll go to jail. I got attorneys on retainers. Shout out to Steve Vidal. Shout out to Eric Lee. Shout out to Delicia to jail. I got, look, I got attorneys on retainer. Shout out to Steve Vidal. Shout out to Eric Lee. Shout out to Delicia.

Shout out to all my attorneys. I got them on retainer just in case. I'll pepper spray. I said pepper spray and if she getting jumped, definitely going pepper spray and I'll definitely hold her

while she get her licks off. But we all grown. We shouldn't be fighting at no 47 years old. I ain't gonna say the fight ain't gonna be that long. It's really a question for you youngins.

Ain't none of us fighting that. I'm not fighting that for you. I'm about to call Lil' Logie. That's what you got security for. Yeah, you're right. That's what security is there. And what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is protect your woman, man.

Like, you know, the first law of nature is self-preservation. And if you are, you know, one with your woman the way that you're supposed to be, you know, when you see her getting into something, you're going to try to preserve self because that is you. Absolutely. I would think. All right. When we come back, we got to talk Boosieosie badass and we'll find out what made boosie cry we'll get into it next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club my name morning everybody is dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk booze by it ass rumor hazard rumor rumor hazard call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty this is the rumor report i mean i

guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills right right on the breakfast club now boozy badass was doing an interview with our brother sway and during that interview he talked about the time when he was a teenager and went to the Hard Knock Life Tour and seen DMX for the first time. Best person I ever saw perform was DMX. DMX. He made me cry. He made you cry. I was 14 years old.

I saw him performing. Jay-Z opened up for him. I saw him perform. It was the Hard Knock Life Tour? In Jacksonville, Florida. The Hard Knock Life Tour? That was the one that Jay-Z and DMX were on, the Hard Knock Life Tour. Jacksonville, Florida, bro. DMX made me cry, Florida. The Hard Knock Life Tour? That was the one that Jay-Z and DMX were on, the Hard Knock Life Tour. Jacksonville, Florida, bro.

DMX made me cry, bro. When he said that prayer at the end, bro, me and my cousin was holding hands. Man, we was holding hands crying. It was my first big concert I ever been to. Because I had got in trouble for the summer, so I had to go live with my people in Jacksonville. And my

uncle took me to the concert, bro. Yeah. And DMX, bro, I never seen nothing like that in my life. That was my first concert, too, baby! Hard Knock Life? That's right. February 28th, 1999, North Charleston Coliseum, Charleston, South Carolina,

Hard Knock Life Tour. Yes, that was a phenomenal, phenomenal tour. That was my first concert I'd ever been to in my life. My first concert, I was young, really young. My pops took me to see Run DMC and LL Cool J. I was fresh that night, too. Well, at least I thought I was fresh. No, you wasn't. You wasn't fresh.

You probably had a jean jacket on. You know what I had on? What? I had on a Detroit Tigers jacket that I ordered from East Bay. I had on some blue, what was it, Esco? What was it? on a Detroit Tigers jacket that I ordered from East Bay. I had on some blue Esco. What was it? Esco? No, it was close.

Esco. Esco. Esco G. I think they were Esco. Yeah, Esco. Willie Esco, right? Willie Esco or something like that. Esco that I had on some orange Timberlands.

That's not fly. And I had no cell phone. This was before cell phones and stuff. So I wanted my now wife to see me. Didn't see her that day. I walked around that coliseum so much hoping to run into her. And you did? I ran into her.

Did you wear that outfit again? I don't remember. Probably. More than likely. I'm sure I probably wore it. Back then you wore the outfit a couple times. It wasn't just one. Back then I wore a couple of the same outfit now.

I was looking at some pictures I pulled just now. The same thing I had on last night at Ed Sheeran's concert I had on last week. I ain't got no shame in my game. Me neither. Same thing I had on yesterday I got on right now. Same shoes. Same shoes. That's right. I'm going to get at least three or four waves out of mine.

Before you take it back to the store. That's right. Now we got to talk about Marlon Wayans. Marlon Wayans was flying over the weekend and got into an incident and was removed from a United Airlines flight. I'm going to miss my shows tonight because of a gate agent

at United Airlines. So if you're in Kansas City, probably not going to make the next shows. And if I do, it's going to be late. Yeah, so gate agent. Sometimes you come across a ***. United, pick better people to work for you. Please.

Yeah, now what they're saying what happened allegedly is uh he was uh getting on his flight he was flying first class and he had uh three bags or three items and they wanted him to consolidate his three items until two items probably the same incident like what happened with me you have a a jacket and usually if you're sitting in first class they hang the jacket up so they wanted me to put my jacket in my luggage i'm like that makes no sense that's the reason why i'm having jacket on a hanger they usually hang it up and then i have two items was it like a blazer it was a blazer okay it was a blazer so i can't put the jacket into you know my luggage that defeats the purpose exactly so and they gave me the same issue

and that's when i actually lost my jewelry but i'm sure the same thing happened with him. We have more audio. So United Airlines customer service or corporate hits me up. And I don't know what kind of corporate culture there is. Your customers are always right. I'm willing to play that video bet, put the sound on. This man was wrong and I was targeted period and then I get corporate call me and they defend well you know there is a two-bag policy right and so I took my three bags that turned into two right but then he got a text that there's no more room on the plane oh is that so really so then why all those people before me and all

these people after me have two bags and three bags interesting watch the video yeah but I'm just confused on what's happening what happened now he had two bags but he had to consolidate his stuff to two bags. He consolidated it to two bags, and then he said there wasn't enough room on the plane for his stuff to fit. Usually, when you fly first class, they usually give you priority to put your bags on the I didn't know you could bring two bags on the plane. Yeah, you could bring a bag and a book bag.

Oh, okay, okay, okay. You got you, got you, got you. Yeah, so they usually allow that or a pocketbook if you want to bring your purse or a bag, whatever floats your boat. I hope things work out for the brother, Marlon. I mean, clearly that stuff works. I always wondered when people get on Instagram and they put the airlines on blast, does it work? It does. But if they got right back to them, yeah.

Sometimes it does, and they usually try to handle the situation, and they usually try to take care. It seemed like in that situation they didn't, but that's why I stay with Delta. I'm a delta jet blue man myself all right and that is your room report and listen i want to salute uh ed sharon too man once again uh you know last night he broke the all-time attendance record at metlife stadium 89 000 people wow were in attendance at metlife stadium so dropping the clues bombs for my guy and i gotta salute uh the good sister just hilarious official you know i was in dc uh on saturday went to go see her and uh the desi banks desi banks opened up for just but they always you know do their shows And I got to salute the good sister, Jess Hilarious, official. You know, I was in D.C. on Saturday. Went to go see her.

We had such a great time. So salute to everybody at the American Dream Mall. I have one more thing. There will be no. I said this early in the show. I want to reiterate this for everybody.

What's that? There will be no more gay appropriation on the Breakfast Club. What? Earlier this year, I had a bill called the Don't Play Gay Bill. Yeah. That I really plan to enforce in 2023. But Envy's taking me to some weird places.

He always wants to bring me back, you know, keyword back. And when I was in D.C. leaving the airport, the guy who worked at Delta was talking to me and the guy was like,

oh, what were you in town for? The Pride Parade? And my wife laughed. I'm talking about belly laugh bend over laughing to the point where he was looking at her like she was crazy you know and i said in that moment the don't play gay bill will be enforced from here on out okay because my wife laughed at that not just in that moment she laughed quite a few times later that day just randomly sitting around busted out laughing and knew what she was laughing at.

But a don't play gay bill is ineffective. We'll see. Ain't no we'll see. No more hugs from the back? No, man. See what I'm saying? Cap. People's Choice mixes up next.
