It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News. All right. Good morning, Tiz. Good morning, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. Good morning, girl. Start off with some quick sports.

Now, Manny Pacquiao tried to participate in the 2024 olympics but was denied exemption and that's the reason because the age limit is uh 40 years old and he is 45 and i don't want to hear nobody talking about no damn ageism okay the rules are the goddamn rules all right and then it's five years past due sit down somewhere manny all right now let's talk about nikki haley okay yesterday nikki haley who trails donald trump by a wide margin in her home state south carolina made it clear that she's standing on business she says she's not going nowhere take a listen i'm not going anywhere i feel no need to kiss the ring i have no fear of Trump's retribution. He's gotten more unstable and

unhinged. He spends more time in courtrooms than he does on the campaign trail. He's so obsessed with his own demons from the past, he can't focus on delivering the future Americans deserve. And in a rare emotional moment, Haley spoke about her husband, Michael, deployed overseas with the National Guard. I wish Michael was here today and I wish our children and I could see him tonight, but we can't. Oh, she's not going to drop out as long as the money rolling in, as long as the money rolling in and people still donating, donating her campaign. She wants to go around. Absolutely. And she should. You know, we don't know exactly what's going to happen with Donald Trump. In addition to that, she's really laying foundation for the future as well.

You know, she still has a lot of time on the clock. She can run in four years and continue to build, you know, build up the momentum around her. Now, Donald Trump also had a town hall last night at Fox News, and this was his response to Nikki Haley staying in the race. Why do you think she's staying in the race? I don't think she knows how to get out, actually. I really don't. She did terribly in New Hampshire. She got the only vote she got was from Democrats. But she has a lot of money behind her. What do they think? Well, they're trying to hurt me because of the general election. So the Democrats are giving her money and she's playing into the game. And I think she just can't get herself to

get out. She's doing poorly in the polls. Look she was doing well i'd understand it but she's doing very poorly she lost uh in record numbers in iowa record numbers in new hampshire so john lechrump i guess he said he's standing on business too in his new style shoes gold sneakers for the low price of 399 now the republican primary will be saturday in south carolina and we'll see who's the last one standing did you see watch the town hall last night with trump i did yeah i watched it too i found it interesting it feel like his tone shifted so it's like his people told him uh calm down a little simmer down on all the dictator and revenge on all that dictator talk yeah like he even he even made a comment where he was saying oh they think that if i'm if i get in the white house

they think uh they think i'm not going to leave. These people are crazy. Then one of the questions they asked him about, you know, him seeking revenge. And he was like, he doesn't he doesn't care about revenge. He just basically cares about the country. Yeah, he cares about success. I'll beat him with success. Even though he clearly said before that he was absolutely, you know, going to be a dictator on day one.

He did say that he plans on going in and challenging the Department of Justice. He talked about what his plans were with the media. Remember, you brought that up, Charlemagne. I know. It feels like somebody told him, simmer down on all that. Don't tell him your plans, basically. Right.

You know what I mean? And I thought it was very interesting. Even though he's done this before, he just constantly you know pushes the narrative that everything that's happening to him is coming from the white house all of this stuff that's happening to him is directly coming from uh the biden administration i just think that's an interesting way to play it because people buy into that yeah he also talked about that 355 million dollars uh he see basically compared himself to Russia. Russia's.

I guess the political political persecuted Navalny. And he said that that's a Russian opposition leader. And so he kind of compared himself to that, which basically saying, again, everything's coming from the Biden administration. And basically he's a martyr. That's right. He's saying it's interesting. They said they would need to sell over 1 million shoes just as a side note 1 million sneakers in order to pay that debt so i guess the supporters need to get busy all right well that is front page news what are we talking next hour oh man interesting story dalton mayor tiffany henyard aka the female Nino Brown, is under federal investigation.

nikki minaj wants kat williams on the tour, her Pink Friday tour. She made a request video. Well, she made a request during her recent Instagram Live yesterday. Now, Kat is currently on his own tour, Dark Matter tour, till mid-May. And at that point, Nicki will be wrapping up her North American leg of the tour. But Kat still could join her for her European leg of the tour. That's what she said oh here's what i did want to ask you guys i want to know now i know that this is the busiest man

in show business okay i know that he's rich and i know that you know he's the funniest man in show biz can y'all hit up cat williams and ask him what would be his price to be a part of the pink friday to gag city tour okay so that well it's a public knowledge cat williams never said anything back yet uh not yet but i guess we will see um that don't feel like a cat's cat style no no not at all but you know and i've been on package tours like this. I call them jingle jams. They do this usually when a tour is not really selling

or when a tour is not really selling. They'll do that. You know what I'm saying? I was on a tour last year. I think you was the DJ. We had so many. It was R&B, rappers. Rip Michaels tour. That's his his style he always does that like that's not like he don't

add people as the tour goes on that's that's just his style of doing it anyway that's comedy and r&b yeah so nick you got nicki minaj you got monica and kat williams that's that's the tour that's the pink friday 2 tour right now i feel like that's the tour. That's the Pink Friday 2 tour right now. I feel like that's a bunch of different energy, too, though. A bunch of different energy. Like, comedians bring a different tone, right? And then all of a sudden, you just go into music. Like, I don't, you know.

And then Cat Williams as a comedian will bring a different. See, but it doesn't sound right. But being on the tour, like what Jess was saying, it was dope when the comedians would do jokes. And it wouldn't be like a long set. It wouldn't like a 45 minute set it'd be like a 10 12 15 minute set and then when people start laughing all right let me bring the next guest out which was dope but if i just want comedy can we see the barbs like loving kat williams and monica together all of that together that ball thatb. We know the barbs. Yeah, you know why?

Because I think the age demo of the barbs isn't what you think it is. I bet you think you probably think it's younger, but I'm sure it's a wide range. Yeah. I'm sure the barbs go from 40,

from 20 to 40. Yeah. Easily. Most of them are younger. I don't know about that. Most of them. I think you've been around for a while. What ones have been attacking me? The ones that have attacked me. They're all me. The younger younger. I don't know about that. Most of them. I think you've been around for a while.

What ones have been attacking me? The ones that have attacked me. They're all the younger ones. I don't think that. I think they're just slow. Slow, okay. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia 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 and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts on thanksgiving day 1999 a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean he had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home

and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids

and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. 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. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. That, that's cool. I'll give him that. Because Nicki is over 40 herself, and she's been around for a while. So she has a lot of fans. So her fans have grown with her.

Oh, no, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think they're as young as we think they are. No, she got fans, and she got barbs, okay? See, I'm a Nicki fan. I'm not a barb. So after a certain age, you don't be like, I'm a Nicki fan. I'm not a Barb. So after a certain age, you don't be like, I'm a Barb. No, she has Nicki fans, and then she has Barbs.

So that's different. I guess. I mean, I guess that's arguable, but she definitely got, it's different. It's different. So, all right, we will see what that is like. Hoda Koda, or whatever the lady name is. She speaks on Kelly leaving the Today Show. So Hoda and Jenna, they took a second out of their show to share thoughts on Kelly after she abruptly left their set. Now, mind you, Kelly never really directly said anything since this situation.

She's never said anything about the Today Show or anything or whatever. And this is what Hoda said yesterday. I just want to say this. I have great love and admiration for Kelly Rowland. I adore her. And I want her to come back on our show. And I want to host again. She's welcome any time.

Of course she is. Of course she is. She can share my dressing room. We'll be in it together. Oh, Lord, Hoda. You still don't get it, Miss Hoda. Like, I don't think you, I don't know if that was like a joke. It was a joke.

Or sarcasm. It was a sarcastic joke. I don't, like, you can share mine. Did you share yours with J-Lo? Would you share yours with Taylor Swift? What would you do? I think she was just trying to say I would share it. Like, that's how much I would want her here.

I'd give up some of my personal space for Kelly. But no, she should have her own dressing room. Yeah, Kelly don't want to share anything with nobody. It's the point of, anyway, all right so kelly went on big tigger show that's actually worse than having a small dressing room yeah i gotta share it with you like no no i'm not i'm on the phone talking about you i don't want you right here all right so in other kelly news she recently did an interview on the big tigger show and while she was there they asked her what part three of the beyonce would be. Play number two. There's a rumor going around that Renaissance 3 may be either rock-based or a DC reunion.

That is her business to talk about. Damn it, woman. And I know that you all are tired of answering those questions, but fans like me for the DC Destiny's Child reunion, and when y'all took that picture, it got me, like, really excited and my feelings. I'm like, okay, is this really going to happen? We still got to answer every time we see either you. We never see Brittany.

Come on. No, but just ask them. I'm here talking about me and Copa. Okay. And that's what I'm most excited about right now. I think that that's that. Thank you so much. Like, please.

So what's the lady name who just asked that question on Big Ticket Show? That was Jazzy McBee. Jazzy McBee. Read the room, honey. Ask them. She's up there. She's promoting a movie, Mia Culpa, that's coming out on Netflix. And that's not what she was there for.

And I know. And how do you lead with? I know y'all get tired and mad every time somebody asks y'all about this, but let me go ahead and ask you anyway because we just got to ask you every time we see you. No, we don't got to ask you every time we see you. You've seen the energy shift

when Big Ticket first brought it up. And so he got out of it. He didn't even have another question to ask. That's why Jazzy McBee came up and followed up with the same thing. But we got to ask you. No, ask B. You may not get a response, but ask B. Call Michelle.

They would ask Beyonce that, but Beyonce never grants us peasants with a conversation. And I think when people interview Michelle and Kelly, that's just a standard question for whatever reason. It is. But it shouldn't be. Kelly's not up there by herself. Kelly was up there next to the other main actor in Mea Cul which you know he's gonna be in the movie as well

i he was quiet the whole time looking like okay well i'm not a destiny's child we up here promoting a movie it's kelly roland though you know and i'm sure they don't see kelly roland too much so when they get a chance to see her and kelly's very nice you don't gotta ask that question every single every single time and by single time. And by the way, that's not the first time we've even seen Kelly push back on that question. Exactly.

Why are you still asking that question? But they're gonna ask the question regardless. They could ask whatever they want. Now, Kelly, she ain't gotta respond, but they're gonna ask whatever they feel like when these artists come up there,

whether it's Kelly or not. And Kelly's so nice and so graceful. And I'm sure they had a conversation beforehand and Kelly makes you very inviting that you can talk to her and they probably felt comfortable to ask her and then kelly shut them down but they

could ask whatever they want when they come up there to do an interview i guess read the room period offset and also i would i would like to see that as an act three though okay and moving on look at you and that's why kelly didn't come up here because she prayed already knew no no but if you think about how Renaissance has been and you see what Act 2 is going to be with the country, if the third album, DC3,

because there's three of them, if it was a Destiny Child reunion, that would be kind of dope. That's really what you want to see? I mean, now that I heard it. No, seriously, is that really

what you want to see? I wasn't thinking about it before, but now that I've heard it, that's actually a dope idea. I think Kelly should keep on getting in that acting bag, pursuing that. She want to drop some music in there. She can do that. Kelly, I mean, Michelle, she doing her thing in the churches.

She doing, you know, doing her thing. B, sticking to the music. I think they all three got different destinies. But what if it's all the destinies together? So it ain't just... Like Latavia, Farrah, and and No, Latavia and Latoya. Okay, I was gonna say don't be

don't be bringing up little CKs. What if it was those like a mixture? Oh, like different eras of Destiny's Child. Yeah, so you get the original four on some songs

then you get the three on some songs some of them together that might be kind of That's what I'm saying that'd be kind of dope. Yeah, probably not. But I think that we should learn to read the room.

Period. That was just for the mess for the first time. All right. Her news is real, allegedly. When we come back, we got front page news. Tez and Figaro will be joining us. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Let's talk, Tess, good morning, first and foremost. Yes, good morning, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. Good morning. Now let's jump right into Tiffany Haynard. Yeah, guys, this story, you may have seen this on social media, but actually this story is about two years old. They've been covering this investigation about her and a lot of crazy stuff going on in dalton but it recently got bumped back up with some recent developments let's listen to fox 32 in chicago for the latest and then i'm going to

give you some more information yeah we've been reporting for nearly two years on allegations of corruption surrounding henyard in her capacity as dalton mayor and Thornton Township supervisor. Federal agents are in fact interviewing witnesses as part of a possible investigation that may or may not result in charges. Lawrence Gardner owns a U-Haul rental and trucking business in south suburban Dalton and says he went to the FBI several months ago, frustrated that the village of Dalton would not renew his business license. Gardner says he's been harassed and his business raided and shut down by Dalton police.

He believes because he refused to make a donation to a civic event sponsored by Dalton Mayor Tiffany Henyard. Now business owners like you just heard they said that they believe their business has been shut down because they won't donate. They also said that their business licenses have been blocked. There's also questions around her spending taxpayer money for out-of-town trips. Here's what one business owner had to say. Take a listen. I've heard rumors that say, hey, I'm on the wrong team. Dwayne Wood has been trying to renew the business license for his restaurant for nearly a year. While he has not talked to the fbi he believes

he can't get approved because he's provided catering to several dalton trustees who are engaged in a political fight with henyard i think i've been just targeted because of my association affiliation with a certain group of people now yeah this is the part of the part of the story that gets really interesting in which you probably saw on social media she started a city meeting literally just dressed up like nino brown and actually acted out the scene in the city meeting with the stuffed dog in her hand so let me say that again she had the stuffed dog in her hand like nino brown i'm gonna play the clip and martin martin yes you got that from martin she got that from when Martin pretended to be Nino Brown. Yes, classic scene.

And so this is her. You're going to hear at the beginning of the clip when she says, somebody knows something. So again, imagine her full Nino Brown outfit, stuffed dog. Take a listen. Nobody knows something. Don't nobody know nothing. Tiffany Hanyard certainly isn't shy about attracting attention.

Here she is starting a Dalton Village board meeting, dressed like the Wesley Snipes character in the movie New Jack City. Later punctuating her political points with the help of her own DJ. Every single resident. Pay me what you owe me. Thank you, DJ. What the hell is going on here? We so unserious as a people. what the hell is going on yeah we so unserious as a people what the hell is going on like how will black people get taken serious in politics moving like that no like i don't know what's true and what's not true as far as you know what she's being accused of but what

i do know is that when we get in these positions as black people we have to have all our t's crossed and i's dotted because anything that's not on the up and up they're gonna come at us with so why would you be that unserious with your position yeah literally having the dj in the room you know playing a bitch but i have my money so i guess uh now she's like two chains and fresh as hell with the feds watching because they're certainly watching and i think too many people try to be uh they try to look cool you know what i'm saying like they want to be down with culture and i put culture in air quotes so they you know they try to quote rap lyrics or you know quote things from your favorite movie or your favorite tv show and when it's not natural that's how it looks yeah when it's not natural it's like

why you do that now you're a clown she had a fake dog yeah a fake dog and she actually really wants people to have her money though um So this is definitely in line. You know, she's used a lot of first class tickets, dined at high end restaurants, staying at posh hotels in and out of town. High security detail kind of reminds me of Kwame Kirkpatrick. You know, when he remember when he was mayor and he had a lot of that extra stuff going on. She used public employees tax dollars for her personal benefit so she she kind of means it when she says they better have her money so she she is definitely not only just dressing the part but according to what she's been

uh i guess with their alleging uh she certainly is about serious from a serious standpoint if i want somebody had my money i'm serious I'm not playing Rihanna. Like, I'm dead serious. Have my money. For real. And you said Kwame Kilpatrick. You see what they ended up doing to Kwame Kilpatrick. Absolutely.

Kwame Kilpatrick got hit with 28 years in federal prison. Yes, you can play with it if you want to. Exactly. All right, well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Absolutely. Bye, Tez. Bye. Peace, Tez.

The Hood Whisperer is what they call her. Now when we come back, Mandela Van Peoples and Mario Van Peoples will be joining

us. They got a new flick, Outlaw Posse, out March 1st. And we're going to talk to them next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaria, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. We have Mario

and Mandela Van Peebles. Welcome. Hey, man. Good to be here. How's it feeling? How y'all feeling? Good, man. It's a little cold, but we're happy to be here. Okay. I'm old enough to remember when it was Melvin and Mario. Yeah. Now there's Mario and Manny. It keeps going.

Wow. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. The other day I looked up and I realized, I was telling Mandela this, my father gave me my first lines ever in a feature film. Wow. And then I gave him his last lines ever in a feature film. Wow. And I said, this is a trippy circle. Like, how many people get that in their life? You And then I gave him his last lines ever in a feature film. Wow. And he said, this is a trippy circle.

Like, how many people get that in their life? You know what I mean? And when I did Posse 30 years ago? 31 years ago? 31 years ago. Yeah, right. I didn't have kids. But I had my dad. And then this time when I did Outlaw Posse,

I didn't have my dad, but I got Mandela. That's right. So I'm like the connective tissue. Absolutely. So is Outlaw Posse the unofficial sequel or official sequel to Posse? No, it's a Western. It's just, you know, like Clint Eastwood did a bunch of spaghetti Westerns. It's a different Western.

It's not really. But it is a multi-culti, wild-ass group of cowboys and cowwomen, I guess you would say, differently than before. So it's, you know, before we had like an album, possibly we had Big Daddy Kane and Tone and Woody Strode and the Holland Brothers and Blair Underwood and Sally Richardson. Big cast. And this time we've got Cedric. We got DC Youngfly. We got Whoopi Goldberg. I didn't cast Whoopi.

Whoopi cast herself. Okay. Talk to us about that. I didn't cast Whoopi. Whoopi cast herself. Okay. Talk to us about that. I'm playing this role. Okay. I was shooting something for RZA, Wu-Tang Clan, American Saga, next door in Jersey to where Whoopi lives.

So she came over like, what's all this racket? And then we met. And she said, I've always wanted to do a Western. I said, I got this script I'm doing. And she said, stay, Coach Mary. Stay, Coach Mary. And that's how that came about. Really? Yeah. And we said, I've always wanted to do a Western. I said, I got this script I'm doing. And she said, Stagecoach Mary, Stagecoach Mary.

And that's how that came about. Really? Yeah. And we just, it was one of those things where you meet someone like me and you, and just like, I want to do it. And then I'm really one of those guys that will really call you up and be like, okay, here's the dates. Let's go.

And she's like, I'm there. Montana, what are we doing? Wow. What's the significance of Stagecoach Mary's inclusion in the film? Well, she is, you know, she has her own stagecoach line that she ran up through Montana, had a big old cigar and a big old shotgun. And in the movie, there comes a point where there's a scene where we go in to buy some dry goods. We've just had a bank robbery go wrong. All kinds of stuff is going wrong. So we go into the dry goods store and Edward James almost comes out with his gun.

He's like, what y'all here for? And we go in there and when we come out, all the horses are gone. And we're in the middle of nowhere. And he starts cracking up. We're like, why are you laughing, man? He's like, because the originals, they don't believe, the originals are the Indians. So they don't believe that we have the right to own any of God's

creatures. But before you get mad, my wife was born enslaved. Those same Native Americans set my wife free. Wow. So we lose all our horses and we got to hitch a ride with none other than Stagecoach Mary.

There you go. Gotcha. I didn't give away too much, did I? That was a lot. That was a lot. The movie's only 90 minutes. That was about five pages of the script. Now, how was working with you there?

It's fun. Obviously, I've been his son for a while now, so to be on camera. I don't know if he looks like. I don't know. He just followed me around asking. Yeah, okay. No, but we have a relationship that luckily we get to wear different hats, and this time we got to wear some cowboy hats and shoot some guns.

And what's cool, actually, working with him at a work thing, usually he's directing or acting, but this time he got to do both. And so he's directing and acting, and I'm also playing his son. Pretty rare one. When we work together, sometimes you're behind, I'm in front. And what's cool is that he can ride. He's a cowboy. He did all his own stunts.

Because Al La Posse is a mean-ass independent, so it's not like you're going to see a lot of billboards or anything. It's more word of mouth, right? And we just won Best Feature at the Pan African. Thank you. So when you do a feature like this, you really rely on people to do a lot of, it's not CGI, it's not AI, it's real guy. So when he rides in, not only does he he have to I have to get along with him

but with his horse because there's a lot of scenes where he's got to race in and we do it in one shot so he'll race in on his horse and he got to save dad you know what I mean and and the thing about working with your son like this is we didn't have to fake the love so when you look at it on camera like we clown and play together we don't have to fake the love and so the so you're going in with people that really get it and know their roles and that's that's fun that all the actors know how to handle and ride horses if they didn't like dc had to go to cowboys i was gonna ask you dc's from atlanta right no doubt and i don't know if he was on a horse like that like that yeah i had to get on the horse me just because he from the south you think we rode horses

no they have horses in atlanta i know he was on a horse like that they have brothers out there that ride on Atlanta and horses in Atlanta but he was he was at the he was at the screening and I asked him how many times have you rode since he's like oh I got a horse now oh he does he got a horse yeah okay and Cedric didn't have to ride so Cedric's in there oh and Alan Payne Alan Payne can ride from New Jack City so I was like calling up all my old connects come on out let's do it it was mad fun you know we're seeing a lot more westerns with black cast what about that time period should black people be tapping into like what should we be learning from that time period well i think there was a big sense you know because it was after look one of the things that comes up is

that in 1863 up until then because we we do a scene with whoopi on the stage coach and uh she looks at him and she said boy you know you're lucky you're the first generation of black men that legally gets to have a black father because until 1863 you couldn't have a black father legally the slave master made all the decisions for the kids you had nothing to do with it in fact they sell you you're as somebody else somewhere else. So she said, you know, so we've only had since 1863 to get our father game on, make it 1865 if you're in Texas. Right. So we bring up some interesting points. I think one of the things we can learn from the Western is that there was still this sense of do for self. Yes. Some of us were lucky enough to go across the country and cover wagons other of

us had to wrap some canvas around our feet and walk you know what i mean why did you decide a major movie as opposed to a netflix or streaming service because i like sit here's the thing when you watch tv tv is small and man is big when you watch a movie man is small movie is big and i like i like to sit up plus when you watch a movie you man is small. Movie is big. And I like to sit up there. Plus, when you watch a movie, you paid some money to sit in the movie. You put your devices down.

You put your toys down. You know what I mean? You pick your popcorn up. And if the movie doesn't suck, you stay right in there and you get into it. And you're engaged in it. I love that.

It is very hard to watch movies at home. Yeah. Like, I don't know why we think that's a good thing. Like, it's just too distracting. Well, you know, and plus, I'm the kind of dude i'll be like i'll be shut up shut up i want to see it unless it's a comedy then i like to go see it right straight in the hood we live right

right good in the hood so i'll go right down this okay i know you're talking about allyship i wonder how does the allyship of stagecoach mary contribute to the development of of chief and other characters right well see well there was a lot of issues, right? One was that one of her rules was, you're going to ride on my stagecoach, you're going to steal your weapon. So that was already dealing with Western. We lost our horse at a certain point.

We've got to get him back. And I got to steal my weapon. It's like, wait a minute, that's some Second Amendment type stuff. It's like, well, you want to be on my stagecoach? Mary's stagecoach marries rules, you know and and then she asked me she says do you remember your dad your pop after she talks to him and i said yeah man he they they hung him for trying to teach me to read and then they told me to call some old white priest father and the slave owner

master and they said by law i had to take the master's last name so i knew what all in boys laws i was gonna grow up to be an outlaw for sure so there's a lot of knowledge that would be drops that sort of prompts you go you think about stuff and go wow that white folks need to hear too black folks need to hear but we go wow that makes total sense you know when you lay it out like that it's like remember the beginning of posse the beginning of posse woody strode who was the first brother I saw in a Western that didn't shuffle. Woody Strode says, history is a funny thing. They got us thinking Columbus discovered America.

But there was already people here. That's like me putting my flag on your car and saying, get out your car. I'm going to call you evil red savage. You know what I mean? So when you look, when you break down the whole origin story of this country, you really see, it's a really all inclusive story and it's still a wonderful country. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia 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.

And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home

and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.

We've got all this crazy potential there's a lot so i'm again the character towards the end says i'm fighting for the america we can be not just america we've been all right we got more with mario and mandela van peoples when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club We're still kicking it with Mario and Mandela Van Peeples. Charlamagne? I love the quote in the film, Angel Says to Willis, that religion is the story we tell ourselves about the future. History is the story we tell about the past, and it's told by those in power.

Right. Expound on that. Yeah, man. Well, thank you for noticing that. That was something, I wrote that line with Melvin in my head. My daddy used to say, history is a book written by the winner. Right. And so once you understand that, you go, oh, so they're telling you a history that sets up how they want you to be.

You know, Frantz Fanon says the best colonizers always left behind the churches and the schools so that they could socialize the oppressed to the oppressor's point of view and that one good priest could do the work of a hundred soldiers so the thing is you got to read to learn i mean you got to learn to read but then you got to read to learn and when you really start to read your own books and you read the biography of malcolm and you read the history of ethiopia and you understand how they do they beat back the italians and were never colonized we don't learn about that history you know the battle of Ethiopia and you understand how they beat back the Italians and were never colonized. We don't learn about that history. The Battle of Adwa, you know what I mean?

And you learn about the West and you go, oh, wow, you mean Jack Johnson then went off. You got a white wife and him and his white wife opened up a club called Black and Tan where folks of all colors were welcome. I didn't know that. Do you know what I mean? I didn't know that.

I mean, you just learn so much. And when you learn it, you can't help but go, wow, we were here. We were doing our thing. That's right. So lines like that where you say it's a book written by the winner, we really all can be winners. It doesn't have to be replacement. Like, okay, if you win and then I'm naturally losing. That's not correct.

We can actually win together. And actually. Tell the white people that. Right. And I got white people in my family, for real. I got white, gay, I even got a Trumper in my family. So I got love with open arms. You know what I mean?

So that's why even in New Jack City, man, I mix it up. I paint with all the colors when I make a movie. I'm not trying to make reactionary film or do unto them like they've done unto us. I want to do unto them as I'd like them to do unto us, but also do on them in a real way. Mario, for you, how important is it to continue the filmmaking lineage within your family by having your son in the film? Well, you know, I remember a certain point my dad and I, I had done New Jack City and then I did Posse and the movies were doing well. And Hollywood was sort of saying, what do you want to do next?

When I went to do Posse after New Jack, the critics came after me and they said, oh, he's trying to make old Jack City. Boys in the saddle. Until they saw the movie. And then my dad said, what do you want to do next? I said, man, I want to do that because he had written a book on the Black Panthers. I said, I want to turn your book on the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense into a movie. He said, they're not going to let us. Hollywood ain't ready for that. And we went to Hollywood to do it. He was right.

And we had to get the funding independently. Because what they wanted, this was the craziest, they wanted one of the lead Black Panthers to be white. What? Oh, my God. And they said, yeah, man, look, Dances with Wolves is not going to star a Native American. You know, Rocky is not going to star, you know, a brother. You know, you're just at that point, you know, so I was like, OK, I see what you're doing. The dominant culture has to see itself reflected in film in a dominant way and you'll be the exotic background.

So we didn't do it. And we had to put the funding together a different way. Well, when we did that and I directed it and produced it. My dad wrote it and produced it. And we didn't always agree, but you know, which fell into his domain. I went his way, fell into mine. We went my way.

He turned to me and he said, man, I love you. I like you. And I, and I admire that you're courageous because we're doing stuff that we know is going to be controversial because what we showed with Panther was kind of the prequel to new Jack city was that it's not an accident that you can get drugs in almost every minority community in America.

And guns. And guns. Guns of that level. And guns are not made in that community. You know, we don't make Uzis in the hood. We don't grow poppy fields in the hood. So how does it get there on a daily basis? And the minute you follow the money, it leaves black hands, brown hands very brown hands very quickly and you realize wow they want us to be medicated and that to a certain degree

that represents a self-cleaning oven so when we do that kind of film you're like whoa and now panther is a really hard movie to find like you that's the one movie i made that it's like you can't find that movie it don't even come up when you google or maybe i was tripping i googled just your films yeah and i was like i know he did panther yeah but they don't come up no man it's like there was a right-wing organization that took out ads against it it was like they didn't want to they don't want you to think about that kind of stuff you just stay in the hood bopping your head and you know doing that and don't think about why the drugs here you know that's that's Malcolm's stuff. So what happened was,

Dad wanted to be a writer. First of all, Melvin wanted to be a tennis player, but he sucked at tennis. He just wasn't good at it. So he said, I want to be a writer. But then he said he got out of writing to direct film, make film. I said, why, Daddy?

He said, because folks weren't reading books enough. They were watching movies. So if in the future they go to some other medium and you want to reach the people, you want to reach the folks that are going to get out there and vote and change what tomorrow looks like, then maybe we have to move mediums. So it's not so important what the vehicle is, but what is important is being a griot, telling our stories that set us free, that make us go. And let me just say, you know, we're not really in the business of brain surgery, but when apartheid fell,

there were two favorite shows they were watching. Miami Vice with a white leading man and a black leading man, and The Cosby Show. And I'm not talking about the man. I don't want to litigate that. I'm talking about the phenomenon of the show. Of course.

20 years before there were the Obamas. There were the Cosbys. There was the Huxtables. Huxtables, yeah. Hey, man. I like reading reviews. You know, it's interesting. When you see critics, they say the film struggles with effectively managing the shifts between comedy and a more serious tone.

And when I read that, I'm like, well, they don't know what it is to be black now. Right. Well, here's the other thing. Our life is a dramedy. That's how we survive, too. Someone asked my daddy once. My dad had all these answers. He said, how come you move so fast?

He said, well, they killed all the slow ones. Daddy, why didn't they get to the top? They didn't let me in at the bottom. But that's real in that the people that live the longest, centurions, people over 100, have three things in common. The first is sense of humor. We got all these great black comedians why great jewish comedians why because we both people went through trauma you go through

trauma you you either die or you laugh and you and then hopefully you laugh and then you get up and make changes i'm not saying i'm gonna be laughing i'm still gonna get my ass up and make a movie that says something and then you, because we believe there's three loves. What are the three loves, son? Love what you do, love who you do it with, and love what you say with it. There you go. Damn, I'm good.

And if those three chakras line up, then you're rich no matter what the paycheck is. That's right. I was with Dad on 56th Street. We're walking down the street, and this brother came up to us. He had long silver dreads. And he came up behind us.

He said, excuse me, Mr. Van Peebles, i have to say i love your work and we both turned around we didn't know who he was talking to and he said i am talking to both of y'all i'm a fan but i'm not a groupie i have to let you know sometimes i go to the movies and i'm entertained that's a good thing sometimes i go to the movies and i learn something new and that's a good thing and every now and then i go to the movies and i come out proud to be a man of color. And that's a great thing. And with your movies, I get all three. Wow.

All right, keep it locked. We got more with Mario and Mandela Van Peebles. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. We're still kicking it with Mario and Mandela Van Peebles. Outlaw Posse, their new flick is out March 1st. Charlamagne?

How has the loss of your father impacted you personally and professionally? You know what I miss is our conversations. Because towards the end he had Alzheimer's and he was starting to fade, we could sing songs together because that goes into a different part of the brain. You know, when you learn music. I could hold his hand. He could see.

He could know who I was. But I miss our conversations. Like conversations like this, for real. That's why I could be here all day talking. He'd be like, you're going to have to get miss I miss our conversations like conversations like this for real like where you can and that's why I could be here all day talking you'd be like

you're gonna have to get me out of here because you'd be like this talks too much but I miss having those good in-depth conversations and that's again something to go back to the movie

that I wanted the movie to do was to have conversations with America that America's afraid to have with itself right we're afraid to look at stuff

and laugh and go, oh wow, I never looked at it that way. And do that collectively in a room with people that don't vote like you, think like you, act like you. That's important. If everyone around you looks and thinks like you, life will get boring. You know what I mean? You gotta challenge yourself.

So I miss that because Melvin, dude, I'll tell you what I miss. This is one thing. So dad had done Sweetback and he risked everything. All of our little family savings. I mean, everything. And then the movie blew up and he invited me and my sister out to L.A. to go to a party. And I was about 14. My sister was 13.

We had like beautiful afros. We look like the Jacksons again. I'll go back to that. She had red hair. So we go to this party and it's a bat mitzvah. Now we didn't know what a bat mitzvah was. And it was my dad's agent had this thing. So we go there and there are all these kids,

mostly Jewish kids, standing around the dance floor, all shy, not wanting to dance, being a little timid. They had a DJ, they had a band, but nobody dancing. So me and my sister are sister like this is a party oh they they don't know right the floor would light up if you stepped on it we like oh so we

went out there like we were on soul train we're tearing it up they all started applauding us and they came around the plot and my sister my my sister and i were dancing and my dad watching and you never know what melvin van peoples was gonna think and he signaled us over and i said i don't know what this guy's about to say we followed him into their library this family had a mcmansion big old library looked like something out of beauty and the beast and daddy took his cigar out and he said uh you know i love y'all y'all are beautiful and you dance like you're on soul train but i feel sorry for you because you're going to miss out on half of life. What?

And he said, yeah, man. He said, listen, we've got to love two things about people. You've got to love who they are, but you've also got to love who you are when you're with them. Right? And the way you're dancing on that floor, it's not inviting other people to dance with you. In fact, it's intimidating. It almost looks like a challenge. Like if they don't know the latest steps, don't have the perfect this or that, don't even bother coming out on the dance floor.

So you're never going to know what that tall Jewish brother is thinking right there. And he's been to Auschwitz. I said, Auschwitz? He said, exactly. You don't know. You're not going to know what that little Asian girl's thinking.

You're not going to know. You're going to miss out on half of life because you're not bringing out the beauty in others. And then he dropped the mic. I was like, wow. Me and my sister went back on the dance floor. I the girl up she got the old dude up we got people involved by the time we left we had everyone up dancing hanging out having fun and one of those guys at that party later on wound up funding one of my movies when i became an adult wow and he said

good good allies come in all colors you know the lesson was don't leave love on the table someone may not look like you or vote like you your strength is diversity get out there and listen to what other people are doing and sometimes you may learn something you may go oh you know what let me try that let me try his workout or her workout

what's she doing I need to know what they're doing so he was such a curious he had an intellectual curiosity that I miss. A lot of people were happy if we just watch our own show with our own news facts. And we just want to see stuff that confirms what we already think. Right. But the strength is, did you learn a new word today? Man, I agree so much, man.

That's why I was even when I when I bought up the new Jack City reference on with Jonathan Carr. That's what I was in reference to, because I was saying how the Vice President needs to go mix it up on Fox News. The way Obama used to go sit down with O'Reilly. Dude, I want to do that with this one. That's like, put me on Fox News. Let me get them. They see Westerns. Listen,

somebody came up to me from Fox News once. I think it was a right-wing radio station. It was after 9-11. And I was with my kids. And they were like, what do you think of 9-11? I said, well, listen, first of all, they said, what do black people think of 9-11? I said, dude, I can only answer for me. I don't represent black people. I can only represent my own crazy idea. But let me just say this. If you have children and my eldest daughter says, I'm going to hit my brother because he hit me. My first question as a thinking father would be, did you do anything that might make your brother want to hit you?

Before I condone you're hitting him back. You know what I mean? Before you get into a military stance with your brother, did he, did you do anything to him that might provoke him? Why'd he hit you? Right. That's the simple,

that's a Republican or Democrat. I said, we got hit in nine 11. Okay. But we framed it as not patriotic to ever ask the question, is there anything being done abroad that might make folks want to hit us? And the minute you look at that, the minute you go, oh, wow. Why is this going down over here?

Why is that? And you have to look at it. You go, oh, there's usually something to it. It's not just people just hate you randomly. You know, it's like you got to kind of look at what's going on. And when you look around, like that thing I was telling you about Cartagena, where they say, yeah, we'll take you. You just have to take our Coca-Cola and our gods and our this and our that. And then you can have your freedom.

You know what I mean? So I think what I miss is Melvin's intellectual curiosity. And that was a lot of that came through travel. Seeing how if you travel around people that you will see, oh, wow, they're doing the same thing we do. Or they look at it a different way. And you learn a lot when you travel. So part of it is like, and this dude has always traveled. He's been there. He was teaching in Africa, man.

When he was a kid. Got bit by a lion, right? Wow. Yeah. I got just one, my last question. Good questions, by the way, man. Thank you, brother. New bit by a lion, right? Wow. Yeah. I got just one, my last question. Good questions, by the way, man. Thank you, brother.

New Jack City. Yes, sir. You traumatized me for a long time. Why did the light-skinned brother have to get stabbed in the hand? I loved it. This was a question that Will Smith brought up.

Why did the light-skinned brother, you traumatized me for a long time. I never did like you anyway. One of the greatest scenes in cinema history. You know what? When I make a film, I want to just let it rip. And there were scenes with Wesley, for real, Wesley and Alan Payne.

And Alan Payne's in Outlaw Posse. And there were scenes, because we laughed and talked about it, where they just did their thing. And I had the good sense as a director to get the hell out the way, no ego, and go and go man they got magic let me just film the magic you know what I mean and there was just moments that Wesley would do stuff

and we like oh that just works it'd be killing it you know I still look back at when I watch that movie and think man that's one of his baddest roles he tore it up he really inhabited the role I mean yeah but I hear what you're saying traumatized and I'm not going to say nothing but you'll see some reference to that He tore it up. He really inhabited the role. I mean, yeah, but I hear what you're saying. Traumatized. And I'm not going to say nothing, but you'll see some reference to that.

Yeah, I know you will. I always thought you and Allen was related. Right? All light-skinned people ain't related, man. I don't even look at them as light-skinned, but I always thought y'all was related. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's interesting because there's a reason for that, too, in Outlaw Fosse. All roads lead back to it i'm not

so so yeah and alan has a great vibe like we we hang now during the you know it's like you the good thing is like the guy that's the same at 20 as he is at 40 didn't grow much and so the more we grow as men the more we've gotten closer and go man they you saw this and and i can see that and alan's so smart and thoughtful and he's you saw this? And I can see that. And Alan's so smart and thoughtful. And he's good in this movie. He did some stuff in this movie that's wild. So I'd be proud to be. I'm his cinematic brother.

Absolutely. All right. Well, we appreciate you brothers for joining us. Outlaw Posse is out March 1st. That's right. Mario Mandela Van Peebles. What were you going to say? I was just going to say that, again,

because we're an independent film, you're not going to see huge billboards everywhere. It's word of mouth. That's right. So people can go on my Instagram, Mario Van Peebles. I'm easy to find and see it, but it's going to be March 1st. But it won't be at every theater, so you've got to go out and make it happen. All right.

You know what I mean? Check your local listings. That's right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to jess oh just with the mess yeah

all right offset encourages cardi to drop a new album. So Offset showed his support for his wife, Cardi's music on Instagram. He posted a muted video on his story, I guess. He bumped into the music and he said, that is just hard, basically. So he's bopping and making a stank face and then he captioned, stop being scary. Drop the album. This Esco crazy. Right. But I remember Cardi being up here and we did her interview

at the end of last year and she was saying this when she was up here about her album. And you got an album dropping next year. Yeah. What quarter,

Bardi? What season? I'm really looking for first quarter. You think so? How you gonna narrow it down? How many records you think you got?

I wanna narrow it down to at least like 18, 20. Okay. No. Okay. you are you there are you close yo shut up it's spring summer you don't have to drop a second album you don't have to put out an album but i have it i have it she do yeah i think she do gotta put out an album honestly as a Cardi fan she been too quiet and she you know she been chilling

she also did say in the interview with us last year she said that it is it's pressure and she

you know and it's a lot especially with everything sounding the same and sometimes it's hard picking and choosing like with beats

and stuff like that so she has been quiet for a while so I hope I hope that she does drop soon I don't know what cardi waiting on i mean it's been what six years since the debut album but i i still don't

feel like she has to put out a second album i do she's been putting out singles she's been putting out features lauren hill and gave y'all a second album in 50 years well that's lauren hill but cardi is different day and different age is it really i think so cardi been one of the biggest stars out for six years and still and still and she still is Cardi wants to go on tour she wants to put out that project

she can do that now I think she does yeah she can do it now she wants to put out some more music she yeah I don't know how I feel about Offset saying stop being scary

like Jesus come on husband I don't mind I don't mind the public pressure what Jesus because the public pressure does two things

number one it gives you encouragement to do it but also it does this it got us talking about Cardi's second album and got people talking about

Cardi's second album but I think that's what she's fearful I think she's fearful of the criticism I think she's fearful of how it's gonna be received they gonna hate regardless

Doja Cat gonna be doing more mocking I'm serious but I think Bardi puts out dope records throughout the years so i think it's it's time time girl all right lamar odom comments on the kardashian curse lamar odom was recently on big boys network shout out to big boy and uh he was married to chloe kardashian this is something

interesting i didn't know they got married um a month after they met each other now i don't watch their show um so yeah keeping up with the kardashians i i i used to watch it back in the day but then i fell off of it um but yeah they were married immediately after they met at a run-out test party but that's what he said in the podcast is there a kardashian curse i don't think so same i don't think so if you if if my ratings would have been a lot better if you were have said yes no if the curse is strength right and financial abundance and family strength then yeah they curse and you know what i love about them man is that they're a tight family unit hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia 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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian.

Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove,

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts I'm gonna keep it real with you I've been saying this the whole damn tour I think every American family could learn from that family if you think about they love each other their tragedies and their family or their down times and their family

and how they overcame all that if you can't look up to that as a family then you're lost. Yeah. Well, I mean, he has been vouching and saying that for a long time, but I just can't get over how Khloe said on a recent episode that Lamar will always be remembered as a drug user. So I wouldn't be.

Yeah, she said that. That ain't no allegedly that you can pull that up anywhere. Yeah, she said that when her and Kim were talking, Kim was going through some things about Ye with Ye, and she was talking to her sister, and that's what Khloe said. I'm like, dang, you just want to reduce him to a junkie? That's all we're going to do? So, yeah, I mean, but he has all the grace in the world for her,

and then I still think a part of him still didn't get over her and wants her back. Yeah, of course. Yeah, so shout out to him for that, man. Yeah, don't nobody look at Lamar as no junkie. Look at Lamar as an NBA champion. Absolutely. When you think of the poster child for junkies, Lamar Odom don't come to mind.

No, not at all. I was so pissed where I was like, dang, you married him. You married him, and this is what you feel like he'll be forever. You scout through basketball, and you feel like this is what he'll be remember that's what so yeah it was very much whack Tiffany Haddish receives backlash for live video so she was on a flight and I'm a fan asked if she was going to Israel for vacation because that's where she was going and she said she responded and said now she was going for a history lesson this is her audio. On my way to Isfian. I'm going to go meet my future man out there. I'm out.

Going to the Holy Land. Might come back and look to his baby. I know a lot of stuff on social media be not true. Because I see stuff people say about me and I live my life. I'm living my life and I'm like, that's not what I said. That's not true. So before I get to speaking on stuff. Because I've heard from people that live there on both sides of the gate. Now I'm going to go see.

I don't even have to look at social media to know she got backlash. Oh, my God. Real crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a couple of comments from social media users. Really, Tiff? Wow, there's so much I could say. But damn, this is heartbreaking.

You are not a safe space and your instincts are inherently flawed and dangerous. And this one is one I saw, too. This situation is heart wrenching, resembling a scene from a horror movie with the tragic killing of thousands of Palestinians. Amidst this, she approaches the trip as leisurely paid vacation, which I find utterly disheartening but we do know for people who met her read her book and know her story Tiffany embraced the Jewish religion after meeting her father because she was raised by mom but her dad is a rich Rian or Eritrean tree ever true yeah and I don't know if I pronounced that right but I'm pretty sure it's air train okay well if you

don't know don't say it and she had a bomb is before 40th birthday so maybe she's trolling and maybe she is going over there to, you know, delve into her Jewish community or, you know, inheritance or whatever that is. You know what I'm saying? It could be. But a lot of people feel like it was ignorant and dumb for her. The live is 13 minutes long. Heritage and background. Heritage.

Yeah. Heritage and background. Thank you. And then some people say, does she even have brain cells? I'd love to'd love to know so like she said she see people talking about her all the time and and maybe this is her way of keeping people talking about her but i mean if she just was like a newly founded jew then maybe is it doesn't hurt to go over there to see i guess what's going on i don't think i think ball mitzvah yeah i think it's bad it's bad yeah i bad yeah I'm sorry BAT bat mitzvah she okay this was when she I think she had turned 40 okay was she give it it

was given I don't know okay yeah what I don't know what was it given bat mitzvah like you that's the first one you ever okay it was cool it was cool I think Tiffany and we ain't as dumb as people think she is she knows she's very well aware of what's going on then it looked like she was going over there by herself so I mean she could be going over there to meet family

she says she know people that's over there and stuff like that so we'll see she said she don't just repeat she'll see a lot of stuff online but she'll go over there and she's going to come back with a report of what's actually going on. So I guess we'll wait for that. And nothing wrong with educating yourself.

Yeah, yeah. And experience is the best education. Right. So she's going over there. Maybe she ain't had to do the live, but she's going over there. So we'll see. That's the thing. You invite people into your space to judge you and criticize you.

Just go on your journey by yourself. You don't got to show people. You don't got to show people you don't got to tell people what you're doing like just go do it that's the issue i agree all right and i'm gonna leave y'all with this real quick beyonce just became the first black woman artist with the number one country song yes come on now absolutely my black country okay okay and that is a great segue in the donkey today because i need john snyder to come through the front of the congregation we like to have a world with him he's not too happy he's not too happy about beyonce taking over the country charts but we gonna discuss all right we'll get

to that next we got beyonce's record up can you pull it up right fast we gotta do that number one we gotta play a record miles to play that since we're talking about it country chart number two overall in the country too let me tell you something behind that god damn white man with that whipping chains Jack Hall right

we need a new number one you got it up it's at 37 it's 30 hey yo and then Young Miami said put me on a remix oh yeah

alright Donkey the Day's up next y'all let's go you're checking out the Breakfast Club Donkey up the Day is up next. Yeah, let's go. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day. Made it. Bam.

The hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of 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. I 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 uh donkey of the day for wednesday february 21st goes to john snyder uh we was off monday so i couldn't get to this sooner but it's only wednesday and in light of some recent developments it's not too late to give john snyder the credit he deserves for being stupid now john played bow on the dukes of hazard if you was born in the 1970s like me then you remember dukes of hazard uh and it's amazing to me sidebar it's amazing to me that donald trump has not pulled up to a rally in the general lee car it's perfect for him it's orange like his complexion it has the confederate flag on the side and it was named after the most famous confederal general okay if you are the leader of the party of the confederacy like Trump, you gotta have the

car to confederacy. If he pulled up to a rally in the General Lee, MAGA would lose it. But that's not why we're here today. We are here to discuss John Snyder and these comments he made about Beyonce and her foray into country music. Now John Snyder sat down for an interview with One American News Network and it's safe to say he doesn't agree with Beyonce jumping into country music. Let's listen. The lefties in the entertainment industry just won't leave any area alone, right?

They just have to seize control over every aspect, don't they? They've got to make their mark just like a dog in a dog walk park. You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that's what's going on here. What does what party you belong to have to do with this? And John, how you turn the boss hog on Beyonce? You know boss hog was forever angry with the Dukes

because they used to foil all his schemes. Are you going to be forever mad at Beyonce because she's about to dominate country music for a little while? See, John doesn't like entertainers claiming country music is their own no john you don't like black entertainers claiming country music is their own which i haven't heard beyonce do but even if she did john i think you should know that so much of what people love about country music comes from black people okay the first string bands in this

country were uh you know enslaved people that's a fact okay i know we live in this country were, you know, enslaved people. That's a fact. OK, I know we live in a country that doesn't like teaching the truth about its history. But newsflash, America and everyone around the world listening to my voice. I'm about to tell you something that most people who read just a little bit know. Most popular music genres were started by black people. OK, country music in the U.S. began with black people. I know, I know, Charlamagne, you make everything about race. No, I make everything about history.

All right? The history that this country keeps trying to erase. All right? The story of country music began with the banjo. Okay? The modern-day banjo is a descendant of a West African instrument made from gourds called the aconting. Yes, aconting. Okay?

Think about acon and think about him drinking a ting, and that's how you pronounce it. I'm serious. Aconting. Okay? Acon thing. Okay? Think about Akon and think about him drinking a ting and that's how you pronounce it. I'm serious. Akon ting. Okay? Akon ting. Just think about Akon and think about Akon drinking a ting

and that's how you pronounce it. Akon ting. Okay? Now, when enslaved humans were taken from Africa to America, their instruments came with them, right?

For 400 years, enslaved people created their own music all with roots in African music. In the 1840s, the banjo was seen as an exclusively black instrument.

It was unheard of for a white person to play the banjo. Okay, must I continue? All right. In the 1850s, minstrel shows became popular. All right, minstrel shows introduced the banjo to white audiences, and then, like most things, white people appropriated it and started playing the banjo. So the minstrel shows unintentionally laid the groundwork, foundation if you will for hillbilly music and hillbilly music would later be renamed country which became the music of the south now you caucasians don't get mad at me okay for telling

you about history i'm not making any of this up okay so john you can't say beyonce is trying to make her mark in country music her ancestors already did that all right not to mention charlie pride okay tina turner why were you acting like acting like Tina Turner didn't have country music moments? I know she's known as the queen of rock and roll, but Tina from Tennessee. Her first album was called Tina Turns the Country On. She was covering Dolly Parton songs. All right. The great Ray Charles did country music.

Okay. Ray Charles is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Not to mention South Carolina's own Darius Rucker. Kane Brown. We met Kane brown last year at the iheartradio music festival it's so many black country singers and it's amazing to me that you know the post malones and lana del rey's when they dipping their pink toes in country music nobody says anything as soon as beyonce starts wiggling her brown feet okay and what people

like john snyder want to be a segregated pool all hell breaks loose okay well let me tell you something about god okay god will prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies see we all should welcome the criticism we all should welcome the hate we should all welcome the naysayers because in 2024 these algorithms don't know the difference so when you have someone who is as beloved as beyonce giselle knows carter and they debut music at the Super Bowl, the most watched television event in American history. When you are already that kind of superstar and you debut music in front of an audience of over 200 million and the people who love you run to listen and the people who hate you run to listen and the people who love you are talking about your music

and the people like John Snyder who want to hate you are talking about your music, all of that makes for a perfect storm that causes you to become the first black woman the top billboards country songs chart with texas hold'em yes beyonce has become the first black woman the top billboards hot country songs chart after her track texas hold'em debuted at number one drop one of clues bombs for beyonce red that's why in this era if you don't like something it's best not to speak on it because when you speak on it whether you mean to or not you are propelling the success of that something because the algorithm don't know the difference between love and hate i wish today beyonce would post thank you for making me the first black woman

the top billboards hot country songs chart and to my critics your doubt fuels me your hate drives me your ignorance challenges me you inspire me okay thank you john and everybody in country music who thinks like you please let chelsea handler give john snyder the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Now, I want to tell you about another black woman who is a

history maker. She is the first black woman to have a number one hit on the country

charts. Her name is Alice Randall. She is a professor at Vanderbilt, and on April

9th, she has a book coming out that I am holding in my hand. This is the advanced

reader's edition. It's called My Black Country, A Journey Through Country Music's

Black Past, Present, and Future. This is the next release of My Book in Print, Black Privileged Publishing, with Simon & Schuster. So if you want a quick history lesson on black people and country music, this is the book for you. My Black Country by Alice Randall. Thank you. Go pre-order now.

Wherever you buy books. All right. Yes. Well, salute to those black queens. Yes, indeed. and thank you for that donkey today now let's uh move over to uh another black woman her name is jasmine moss now jasmine was charged with child neglect she's been trending the last couple of days now the reason she's trending is she's a mother and she has her own business it's called i guess a wax place where

she actually waxes other women. It's called Jiffy Pube. I don't know if... Go there and get your little quick little wax. I don't know if it's called Jiffy Pube. It ain't Jiffy Pube? I don't know if it's called Jiffy Pube, but this is why she was arrested.

A mother is in jail after police say her daughter helped to wax clients at a waxing studio. Texas, holy... Police say that child was only five years old. Investigators charged Jasmine Moss with child neglect. Police say last week they got several calls about disturbing images involving a young girl on social media.

Memphis police say those images were on Moss' Instagram, which she uses to promote her hair removal services. She claims on the post her daughter waxed 24 clients for more than eight hours making more than 700 dollars moss is now charged with child abuse and neglect and she is expected in court tomorrow well let's open up the phone lines and let's discuss 800-585-1051 what do you think of the situation do you believe this mom had any ill intentions or was it one of those things as the mom was doing her job at home and the daughter was there and wanted to see what mom was doing and learn what mom was doing?

First of all, who the hell going to let a five-year-old wax them? Let's discuss. If a five-year-old walked in the room just and was about to wax you, what would you do? Wouldn't you think something's wrong? Then I would get up immediately. Exactly. I'm sure the five-year-old wasn't doing it on her own.

I'm sure the mom was doing it. I don't care. And maybe the daughter was just like, let me try, mom. But let's discuss. The picture I saw, she was in front of some big white legs and them white legs were spread open. Okay.

And then the smells came through. You know what I mean? Somebody was freezing. So everybody don't wash before waxing. And yeah, like I understand. However, I don't think jail time is proper. I mean, for this, I'm going to be honest with you.

Nah, I don't think put her in jail. But that is proper. I mean, for this, I'm going to be honest with you. Nah, I don't think put her in jail. But that is stupid. Wrong. Yeah, but don't send her to jail. Let's discuss when we come back. 800-585-1051. I see some people looking at it like she wanted to do what her mom is doing. Her mom is working at home and she's learning

the craft. You only want to do what your mother do if you show her why she even know what waxing is at five you get what i'm saying let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj mv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking about something that was trending online yesterday a woman that has her own wax business and her daughter uh joined in her daughter is five years

old and here's the news report a mother is in jail after police say her daughter helped to wax clients at a waxing studio. Memphis police say that child was only five years old. Investigators charged Jasmine Moss with child neglect. Police say last week they got several calls about disturbing images involving a young girl on social media. Memphis police say those images were on Moss' Instagram, which she uses to promote her hair removal services. She claims on the post her daughter waxed 24 clients for more than eight hours, making more than $700. Moss is now charged with child abuse and neglect,

and she is expected in court tomorrow. So we're asking 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts? She getting charged? Yeah, she is getting charged. She was arrested. I think that's crazy. I mean, I do. I think it's crazy that she's being sent to jail. So what's going on with the little girl? Child protective services? What's going on? They haven't said

what's going on with the girl, but the mother was arrested. I can see why the mother was arrested. The girl is five. And you know, this is against the law because it violates the child labor laws in this country she's not 16 and you can't work

in hazardous environments under the age of 18 hazardous waxing random vaginas especially in the spring and summer that could be considered hazardous it could be considered stinky

for sure and definitely still hazardous I mean it's hot wax I get it it is all of that discharge I don it is all of that um discharge i don't what all of that yeah it's all of that her teaching a baby girl about it so early

it's crazy i still don't think she should go to jail i like i said i don't know what else could have happened right but jail is a little but she's only going to jail because the girl is five well that's a violation of child labor laws in America. Like, period. You always hear people have these conversations about, oh, they got little kids working in factories, putting together our phones. It's the same thing.

None of them go to jail yet. Well, I mean, that's because it's in a different country. Right, right. So in a different country, it's... I feel you. What I think happened, her daughter, she couldn't get a babysitter or whatever her daughter she let her daughter in the room when she started doing this type of stuff

and her daughter's like oh i want to do what mommy do that's the only way that a child would say i want to do what mommy do if you're around what mommy do and then she she showed her she got happy she might been a little good with it these kids are advanced she got too comfortable with it the wrong person saw it and that's what happened. She's five, man. Yeah, she's five. The U.S. banned child labor in 1938. She's five. I don't think she was working eight hours a shift.

She was there with her mom. Don't matter. She's five. She ain't supposed to be working at all. I don't think she was working. She's not working. She can drive at five. She's five.

She's not supposed to be driving at five. She's not working. She's hanging out with her mom. Hello, Sonny. Hello. She was working. You ain't seen the picture we saw. Hello.

Who's this? Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, Son mom. Hello, Sonny. Hello? She was working. You ain't seen the picture we saw. Hello, who's this? Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, Sonny. Hey, Sonny, what's your thoughts? So, my thing is, we don't say anything when we see these kids in the small mom-and-pop shops working with their family. The Chinese food restaurants working with their family. This woman is teaching this child generational wealth. This woman is teaching this child how to work for what you're getting.

And not for nothing, those waxes, depending on what they're getting, be $100 a shot. It's harder to teach than it is to learn. So I highly doubt she was doing it all by herself. She could have been doing for eight hours in total, she could have been doing one person an hour. That's $700 plus tips. That can come up to the eight change.

Yeah, but she's five. So Sunny is saying when you go to the chinese food spot sometimes you see you know the owner's child or you go to the bodega you'll see the owner's child in there working you're saying it's the same thing it's how old is the child you'll be five six years young that's illegal but the thing with this also is how many chinese food restaurant ads and commercials do you see out on the TV and everything? None, right? But we always frequent them. We always go to them and everything else. This woman has to rely on her social media in order to get her name out there, in order to get her clients out.

If her clients ain't complaining, then why are we? That's the thing. A client did complain, I think. I think it was one that actually caught the picture. Really? I thought they posted it online And people were Complaining about the post She put on her Instagram

Oh she posted it Yeah she posted it Oh girl She had 25 clients Or something like that right Yeah Who are these freaky ass clients That ain't complaining

Why are these freaky ass clients Okay with a five year old Coming in there Waxing them Or maybe the client Or understand Exactly what I'm saying As far as you're teaching her

at an early age how to make that money, how to get... I'd rather her teach her how to make money doing that than teach her how to get it from me. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia 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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian.

Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Can I ask you a question, ma'am? Would you let a five-year-old give you a wax? No. Okay.

But at the same time, as I said, they each their own. That's how I feel about it, too. So we say, oh, no, if I walk inside of a waxing center and a five-year-old is there, nah. But I'm not going to post about it. I'm not going to be like, yo, they had this yo they had this five year she ain't get to touch me all right cool you know like make your money yeah the youngest age to work in child labor is 14 in America I mean that is the truth but like she said I've been at at places where you see

five six-year-olds working you don't know if they work and they just in there with their parents they just in there and I've been put to work like what are we talking about nobody care about laws of america no other time but now the five-year-old one do x's now we talking about laws of america and everything hello who's this yo this is walter's guy from out of indianapolis what's up what's up what's going on with it how you doing wal, Walter? Talk to us, Walter. What's your opinion? Man, they wrong for putting those wolf giantas in those baby faces. I feel you. What? You know, those wolf giantas.

Oh, he said those wolf. He said they wrong for putting those wolf giantas in that baby face. I feel you. I feel you with that. Yeah, like, she couldn't whack any area. I mean, if it was a male, we'd be out flipping. Yeah, like she couldn't wax in any area. I mean, if it was a male, we'd be out flipping. Man, better not lay down and ask for no wax.

I mean, I ain't saying that they don't, but don't go. There ain't no five-year-old. I don't think she have a five-year-old in there where I know man. No. All right. 800-585-1051. If you're just joining us, we're talking about a story that was trending the last couple of days this mom and her five-year-old child was on i guess she was posting pictures of her daughter waxing women and she was arrested for it and people are

up in arms let's discuss this the breakfast club good morning if y'all talking about it you know we talking about it it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club if you're just joining us we're talking about this young lady from Tennessee who was arrested. She has a business where she does waxing and her five-year-old daughter, I guess, was helping her out. She posted the picture and she's been arrested about it and people have been talking about it. And we have, what's your name? Anonymous from Houston. Anonymous from Houston. What's your thought? It's the radio, sir. We can't see you That's fine I just

I just feel like It wasn't a problem When Swizz Beatz son Made a beat At five years old But untitled Unmastered

But now a child Is doing something With her mom And that was the problem? Yeah I don't Where was the Where was the issue

When Swizz Beatz son Made a beat? He was five years old I don't think That's the same thing Because you can make a beat At five years old On your own They sell instruments for five years old they sell the little keyboards and the guitars and he was in the studio with his father who was a

a well-known beat maker or or producer so we know he was in there for hours with his father yeah but he's not he's not he's not making his child work by making a beat. I don't think that's a false acquittal. I don't think she was making her child work either. Like Larry said, I'm pretty sure the child seen her mom doing it. She definitely needs to be arrested now then. What? She definitely needs to be arrested. If she wasn't making her child work and her child was just in there playing, oh, there's a vagina.

Go ahead, take this. I'm pretty sure she wasn't playing. She probably seen her mom working and said, I want to try what mommy's doing just like any other child would do. Exactly. And like I said, this mom probably does not have

a babysitter. A babysitter. You know, all that. So she allows that to be in the room. This makes sense to him? Well, the neglect was,

well, just listen to what he just said. Well, let me explain it to him because he's seeing it different. Yeah, you're right. Swiss B's son made a beat.

But the problem was is this child is saying is around hot wax which he can be burned at the age of five they're saying that it's dangerous he was supervised by an adult just like it don't matter she's waxing somebody's vagina you can't be serious bro but when when you're in school and you're in science class, you're doing stuff that's supervised by adults. Not at five. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's fine.

You're right. At five, it does sound crazy. But still, nobody had a problem when a child does something at five with a celebrity. But when it's a regular person, now she's going to jail. I think it's stupid. Thank you very much, Anonymous. This is hot wax and vaginas.

Yo, he was making hot fire in the studio at five. And it's the same. Hot wax, hot fire. There you go. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is T. Hey, what's up? Metro.

What's your thoughts, man? Ah, what up? Hey, man. I don't really say that she need to be arrested for and in this case i think it's how she's done it didn't put it on social media man everything but i understand she's trying to teach us out of the game but she should have done it in her own personal space maybe just on her and not the client but it's just it's just how you do that i just don't know what client is gonna let a five-year-old watch you.

Obviously, it's a bunch of 24 clients. Because they're probably freaks. If I all need to have signs in my heart. Yo, it's Mack, man. Mack, what's up, bro? What's your opinion? Yo, I agree. Here's why I agree. I'm staying comfortable with old girl doing that.

Just because potentially, she could be teaching her child how to take over the business one day. She's five. She's five. She's five. She's five. Five. Oh, man.

Max said she don't care. She's teaching a family business. But she's right there with her. She's right there with her daughter. It's not like she's left alone. Now, I'm saying if she's left alone, that's different. But her mom right there guiding her and showing her how it's supposed to be done then i mean she's right there with her then the clients ain't got a problem with it obviously they freaks oh that's crazy why would you let a

five-year-old do that to you listen the fair labor standards act sets the minimum age for employment at 14 years for non-agricultural jobs okay the vagina as much as we love it is not agriculture okay well there's a lot of bushes and trees i'm just saying and it restricts the hours of youth under the age of 16 this kid was five y'all i'm not saying i i don't think that this is something that the woman should be jailed for but there are laws in this country for a reason she broke up the law okay i'm more concerned about the people that's letting the five-year-old do it 24 of them that's insane i mean where was this this was this was in memphis tennessee okay memphis we know memphis is a small town everybody know everybody she probably know

all her clients so yeah and all the clients know little bevy. What's her name? I don't know You know, they probably know where y'all that's a tight-knit city. I bite nor I buy man I don't know.

They were disrespecting Kyle. He was wide open, mad talks. They were disrespecting him. He tried to play, mad talks. They were disrespecting him. He tried to play.

Yeah, shout out to Kyle. Don't invite short people places. Don't invite us short people places if you're not going to give us the respect we deserve. Kyle's all in you, though. That's crazy. Or don't invite people to places and then un-invite them because of their past. But Shannon Sharp was his coach. Shannon Sharp was the coach.

So that's why he was calling them coach at first. And it's report, Kostonette is reportedly 5'3". So this is what he... He's about the same height as you, Charlotte. I'm 5'7". You're not 5'7". You 5'7"? He's not 5'7".

5'5"? 5'9". Look, I ain't three feet, bro. Yeah, look I Was not a knock on you I was saying if you look at the other guys they jumping over Shaq They jumping over they jumping on a taco fall. They're jumping over Kia even if they jumps over you He put you in a chair. Now you have to hide or what your original height is. I thought I was going to be standing up on a chair, but he told me sit down.

I'm confused. I ain't know what to do. Don't ever, ever, ever defend your shortness. Cause short people live longer than taller. That's all you got to say to them. That's a fact.

That's a fact. Short people live longer than taller people so you're saying the nba whole nba got a good chance of dying for you yeah that's what you said so kyle said he's 5'8 so he's taller than you he said he's 5'9 but he's taller than you he's not he's 5'3 he is we know he9". At what age, what height are you a little person? Yeah. I think 4'11". And then as a man. Because I don't think we trip about it.

Women, we don't trip about that too much. I mean, I don't know. As a little man. I never thought I was short until I got around tall people. What height is Kevin? No, you're short. Kevin Hart?

Yeah, he's shorter than you. Kevin is probably the same height. Yeah, because Kevin is shorter than you. Kevin is shorter than me. Yeah, he's probably about 5'4", Kosta are not probably the same height. Yeah, because Kevin is shorter than you. Kevin is about 5'4". Because Kevin is shorter than me. Yeah, he's probably about 5'4", 5'. No. Kevin's like 5'. Because Duval is about 5'. Kevin's 5'.

Because little Duval almost got a check. He's shorter than me, too. Oh, my God. No, for real. He was like an inch away. From being a little person? He's 5'2", yeah. 5'2", okay, yeah, yeah.

A dwarfism. I might be 5'4", because Kevin is smaller than me. Dwarfism is what? 4'10". 4 I might be 5'4 because Kevin is smaller than me dwarfism is what 4'10 4'10 yeah Duval just missed it by about 4 inches

because he got a check you get a check for being a dwarf I did not know that but the moral of the story is short people live longer than taller people

I know that's right short people out here getting money you know and that's why you gotta be in shape too if you're short you know what I'm saying you can't be short and like skinny you got to have some like girth to you or short and fat because that's bad for your knees can't be short with a big back salute to the big back brigade all right hey drop one of those balls for the big back

brigade i did not believe that they made me stay the beyonce couldn't do the movie because of her presidency yo and then i turned around and said j Jay-Z should have sent them a cis and deceased, yo. A cis? Damn. A whole cis? Is it plus or minus two? And a deaf. And a deaf.

I was like, yo, please, no. All right. People's Choice mixes up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, y'all. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilaress hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's black history month what we doing listen man it's black history month so suit to my guy b dot every day during black history month he puts out an episode of i didn't know maybe you didn't either which is a podcast that tells you about a lot of things in black history you may not have known about so today b dot is telling you the story of Alice Sebold and Anthony Broadwater. Let's discuss. Y'all, this white woman, Alice Sebold, randomly picks a black man off the streets as the man that raped her.

He does 16 years before the story is proved to be false and his conviction overturned. And all Alice Sebold has to say is I'm sorry Alice Sebold wrote a book lovely bones it was turned into a movie with Mark Wahlberg a son never seen it never will but she was 18 in college at upstate New York in Syracuse in 1981 when she was in the park there as a as a freshman, she was raped. Months later, she says she was walking down the street and came face to face with the man who raped her. The man approached her and he said, don't I know you from somewhere? And she was frozen with fright. He was arrested and she took the stand and ID'd him as her rapist. Now, there was a big-time director in Hollywood that was doing a movie, Lucky,

based on the memoir of Alice Seybold's rape. But he said that the trial transcript in her book didn't quite add up. And he had questions. So after doing some investigating, came to find out she was big-cap. She eventually issued an apology. It sounded like this.

I am so sorry. Most of all, for the fact the life you could have led was unjustly robbed of you. And I know that no apology can change what happened to you, and it never will. If you don't shut up. Anthony Broadwater received $5.5 dollars from the state of new york last year it's crazy because even after he was arrested she picked a totally different man in the police lineup but broadwater was still taking the trial he got released in 1999 but still had to register as a sex offender until the conviction was vacated in November of 2021. He got his M's

last year in 2023. Now, how the hell does she just get the ride off into the sunset walking her puppy down the streets? Just living life. How is it not a law yet that if you allege someone raped you and that person gets time and it comes out that without a shadow of a doubt that you lied, why don't you get the same exact time that that person got or would have gotten this man anthony broadwater now 62 years old was falsely incarcerated for 16 years in 1982 and now 42 years later he's just getting paid for it he's only free because alice sebo's book didn't match the court transcripts and a Hollywood producer was doing his due diligence before making it into a movie? How many innocent men are incarcerated and

have been incarcerated for years behind false accusations and allegations that won't be fortunate enough to have their lying ass accusers write a book to be eventually researched for a potential film? Huh? How many? The reality is, I don't know. And maybe you don't either. All right, salute to B-Dot. Yeah, salute to the good brother B-Dot.
