I don't see you, Taz, but let's get into some front page news. We got our guest co-host Carrie Champion and Lauren LaRosa here. Let's start off with sports. There she is. Good morning, Taz. I can't see you guys, but it's all right. We're going to put it secret. Absolutely.

A woman tried to burn down MLK, his house. Many of you may have seen this on social media. It was trending last night. A woman's facing charges, including attempted arson after allegedly, but we did see the video, guys, but they're saying allegedly trying to set fire to MLK's birth home on Friday evening. Let's take a listen to the report, and we'll come back with some more information. Right now, a woman is facing charges,

accused of trying to set that historic home on fire. It happened just before 6 o' to set that historic home on fire. It happened just before 6 o'clock tonight at the home on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn neighborhood. It just recently closed to the public for renovations. We can confirm the suspect is a 26-year-old woman. She is charged with criminal attempted arson and interference with government property. Now in the video, you can see if you guys have not seen it i did share to my story so you guys can go follow me on instagram if you're looking for it or just look on social media but in the video you can see her pouring gas on the house a witness tried to stop her and

then shout out to the nypd uh off-duty police officers i guess they just happen to be in town uh they detained her the mayor did thank the off-duty officers for stepping in and saving a cherished national landmark did she give a reason why why she was so upset why she was trying to burn it down do we know yeah at this time we do not i mean it's saying that uh they're they're looking into motive they're not sure why i'm always careful about that because you know putting something out there people are kind of run with it with it being so new right um but you know i they they really haven't said the reason

why so yeah but obviously anybody that goes to burn down mlk's house i mean you know we probably can make some assumptions right on you know what our motivation was but we'll continue to keep following the story and see but um as far as um the most recent report it's not confirming an alleged reason and is there a different penalty for burning down let's say a regular house or something a sacred type of home is there a different penalty do we know that's a good question that's a good question um i would assume yes because it is a historical site correct um so there may be additional again i don't i don't like just guessing and making it up as i go um i will follow and see but when you look at um interference with a government property that's

what they're looking at criminal attempt interference with a government property so that answer is yes because it is government because i guess you know it is a historical site or somehow they connected to the government so yes um it says that uh they're coordinating with uh the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosive and the fbi uh and she will have to appear in court. So it's definitely not just going to be just regular arson to answer your question, NBS. And I'll continue to follow the story when they finally do formal charges and we'll stay on top of it, I'm sure. All of our

listeners, shout out to Atlanta for listening. I'm sure they're very interested in this story as well. That's insane. Absolutely. Well, that is front page news. And I just want to remind you guys that the lotto is $395 million. Charlamagne, what up? Why y'all ain't tell me y'all doing the show this morning? Yo, shut up, man.

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.

Tell her. Tell her. Made it. This is The Rumor Report. I think a lot of. I've been here for a minute. Move out the way. Move out the way. Tell her. Made it. This is the Rumor Report. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice and the name. On The Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. Didn't she?

I came in telling the truth. Guys, Nicki Minaj dropped today. I know we heard a song this morning off the album, Pink Friday 2. So this is her first album since 2018 when she dropped Queen and people are really excited so there is a lot

that is a lot of songs that are picking up people are really in love with Falling For You F The Club Big Difference

but there is a song on the album that J. Cole is featured on and it has people going back and forth on Twitter about what are J. Cole's

best features because he bodied this feature let's take a listen so on this song nikki minaj is talking about um like just some issues that it seems like her and her husband were having with which is the first i've never heard her talk about their relationship in this way but she basically says that they go through things and like sometimes she'd be needing a time away from him and j cole is talking to him about how to be a man supporting a woman that is a Nicki Minaj. You guys just had a kid. It's very public. Nicki, we have a verse from Nicki, right?

No. Okay, so how y'all feeling about the feature? People are arguing that this is one of his best. I mean, it's interesting that people say this is the first time they heard Nicki talk about it. It's the first time Nicki dropped an album since she's been married. No, but she's been married for some time publicly. She got married in 2019. Yeah, but that's...

She ain't put out albums since 2018. That's a lot of time. But she's put out music. That's a lot of time. But she's put out music. That's a lot of time. Not an album, though. Most of the time, people address things like that on their album.

But it's a lot of time for some music to be out and for... She talks about her marriage very often and we've never heard her... I've never heard her talk openly about

kind of going through things and having to figure out being married publicly with a new baby. I mean, the feature was alright. It was cool. It was a cool feature. I gotta hear the whole song.

Hopefully we can play the whole song after the rumors so that we can listen to it. Yeah, but, you know nikki does live a lot but she doesn't she doesn't really talk about her family i mean she just recently talked about the name of her son right did she even mention that i don't think i don't think she gave she hasn't given a name she's very private when it comes to her family in that way so this is something that nikki's doing i like uh needle needle is dope with drake i like Cowgirl. I like Everybody. I like Big Difference.

Those are the records that are standing out to me upon first listening. Upon first listening. I heard it. I haven't heard the whole album, but those records are dope. I just like to see Nicki be able to just be a little bit soft. This was one of the things that caught me. And then another thing that happened too on Twitter, and it's still happening right now. So Pink Friday 2, of course, is trending.

All of the songs from the different records are trending. And then the fans are doing this whole thing where now We Want Cardi is trending number two under Nicki's Pink Friday 2 trending at number one. And it's like, why do that? Why can't we enjoy Nicki today? That's Cardi fans and the boss going after her. I hate that. I hate that.

I love the powerhouses that these two women are. And I would love to just enjoy Nicki today. It's her birthday. Let that girl rock today. You know what? I hate that this album didn powerhouses that these two women are and I would love to just enjoy Nicki today it's her birthday let that girl rock today you know what I hate I hate that you know this album didn't have a bigger rollout

like I'm mad that the album just dropped like we knew it was coming out but it's Nicki Minaj like who I don't even know who she signed to Universal still

I'm not sure I don't know who she signed to but whoever she signed to it's just like yo Nicki needed and deserved a bigger rollout what did you want what would it look like

a record like she got records on this album like why wouldn't a single come out? You know what I mean? Like, why wouldn't a big video come out before the album? Do you feel like the Wayne album and pushing the dates and all that stepped on it? I don't think so.

Wayne album didn't come out. Remember she had to move it because Wayne had a project that dropped? I don't think that had nothing to do with it. I'm just saying, like, the label in general should have had a bigger plan for a Nicki Minaj album. I am sick of big artists dropping and there's no rollout. You know, the sad thing is

when I seen it, I thought it was a surprise album because I forgot she was dropping. No. I remember she mentioned it. Because she mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, like you said,

and she said, you know, she's going to change the date because Wayne and... Yes. Labels. What's the name of the album? It's because we're used to her doing like when Queen

dropped, it was Queen Radio. She literally stopped the world. The city stopped. The world stopped. Labels gotta stop relying on artists and their social media followings to get the word out. Labels gotta do their job. What's the point of being signed to a label if labels aren't gonna

provide those kind of resources to give you the big rollouts that you deserve. Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj. They tried a little bit. I know she had the, I think it was the Vogue cover. She did a cover of a magazine. I really think it was Vogue, but it was like bits and pieces. It wasn't like the uniform thing that we normally see, but I don't think rollout

plans are as good as they used to be anymore. Like it just doesn't happen anymore. I think a lot of times where artists, yeah, labels ain't doing their job and sometimes artists just don't want to do it you know i mean so it's like even when you look at buster rams that he just released that project two weeks ago right and buster tried to do buster did everything buster did all the radio shows he did the radio he did the the record stores he did the performances you know we got to get back to that so people understand what's coming out and then we got to love the music and so uh sim just pointed out that she did have so she did like a futuristic thing where she had like the whole ai world it's

called gas city and that was a rollout it was an ai universe but i think ai and those universes and all that stuff is kind of it goes over the average listener's head yeah um but i did like i found that out today when i was just looking at what was online and then i I do have a lot of friends on the media side. Like I have some paps that are hitting me up right now that are telling me that a lot of people are telling like paparazzi. A lot of her events, her party, just press things that she was supposed to do today were canceled. So I don't know what's happening. But it was put out there to paps that were looking for her to be out and about these places that these things were canceled They weren't happening anymore. Mm-hmm. I don't know maybe I don't we don't we don't know but

She doesn't got some big records on this album. She does like I said needle with Drake cowgirl I think you know, no, no, it's everybody that who's on everybody everybody everybody's hard. Everybody's the big difference You got some big records on it. Yeah, I'm excited to get back in the cars like 22 songs and listen to it but let's get into a joint right now that is your rumor report let's get into a joint right now let's get into the joint featuring j cole we got that full version it's called let me calm down all right it's the breakfast club good morning front page news is next the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same good morning everybody it's dj nv charlotte ween the guy we are the breakfast club we got our guest co-host lauren That would be the same. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got our guest co-host, Lauren LaRosa and Carrie Champion here. And let's get in some front page news. Now, last night, the Patriots beat the Steelers 21-18. What's up, Tess? Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, ladies. Good morning, Charlamagne. Thanks for joining us.

Good morning. Now, let's jump right into Hunter Biden. Well, hold on. Before we jump into that, I gotta clarify. You threw something out there that must be clarified on the air. You said that I know that Lovely had 13 inches. And Carrie wanted to know, how did I know? So I just want to be clear. I do not know this man,

Carrie. I've never met this man. He's on Instagram. And you can clearly see he has 500 pages in gray sweatsuits. And so you can clearly see he has 500 pages in gray sweatsuits. And so you can clearly see. Oh, I did confirm. Okay. He just put it out there.

I was like, well, how would she know? That's interesting. Yeah, exactly. And they put me out during that segment, so I can't clarify anything. I like to just say that. I ain't hiding behind the white wall. Exactly. I love you hiding behind the white wall.

Y'all got Ted's shot. I was going to the page. Now let's jump into Hunter Biden. Yeah, let's get into Hunter Biden. Now he was indicted on non-tax charges in California as a special counsel investigation into the business dealings of President Joe Biden's son intensified against the backdrop of the movement 2024 election. Now these new charges are three felonies and six misdemeanors.

In addition to federal firearms charges in Delawareaware you know we talked about that before that uh he allegedly broke laws against while he was on drugs and having a gun in 2018 now this comes after the implosion of the plea deal over the summer that would have spared him jail time putting the case on track to pop to a possible trial as his father's campaign goes up for re-election now the charges are centered on at least 1.4 million dollars in taxes hunter biden owed during 2016 2019 uh and again that's a period that he struggled he was struggling with drug addiction he did pay back those taxes but if convicted uh hunter biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison i didn't know they indict you on misdemeanors.

Okay, but look, the law is the law. All right, if they feel he broke the law, then he should be indicted. Nobody is above the law. And if a former president can get hit with four indictments and 91 criminal charges, then everybody is fair game. But he paid it back, and they still going to lock him up? That's crazy. Yeah, he did pay it back.

He still broke the law. Yeah, but he paid it. He still broke the law. Look at you, law abiding. They don't give you a time limit to pay it before they be like, law yeah but he paid it you still broke the law look at you before they'd be like okay you could go to jail now no yeah i mean you committed the crime so it's not a matter of that's just like walking out the store shoplifting and saying well you know if you go put it back you got time to put it back no you committed the crime so he did come with the crime yeah like they say commit the crime due to time so um but he paid it back and you know many people get uh commit crimes and still have to pay um but he paid it back and you know many people get

commit crimes and still have to pay restitution so those are two totally you know two totally different things and so again republicans push this because again what's good for the goose is what good for the hide your kids hide your wife because they're indicting everybody out here and please keep in mind uh they already trump already said when he get back in the white house they're locking the whole biden family hey that's what the White House they locking the whole Biden family that's what he said you can't you gotta both sides it you're going down the list

and what brings us to our next story the House votes to censor Democrat Representative Jamal Bryan over a fire alarm incident take a listen to the report and then we'll come back and talk about it the House has resolved that the House of Representatives censures Jamal Bowman, representative from the 16th Congressional District of New York. The House of Representatives voting to censure New York Representative Jamal Bowman Thursday morning.

Seen in this video, pulling a fire alarm during a heated debate over the spending bill back in September. Democrat accused by Republicans of stalling. On this vote, the yeas are 214, the nays are 191. The resolution is with five present. The resolution is adopted. Bowman claimed it was an accident and pled guilty to the offense, paid a $1,000 fine and issued an apology. Now this is the fifth time that someone has been censored in Congress in the last 20 years.

So they broke some history with that. They did go back and forth debating on the floor about it before the censor. So, Representative, I want to play this clip. This is Representative Bowman talking. And then after that, you'll hear Republican Representative Nicole Molliotoxi. I believe that's how you pronounce her name. This is what they had to say. Take a listen.

Republicans are here trying to rehash an already litigated matter, a matter in which the Republican controlled House Committee on Ethics decided not to proceed with any further investigation. He did plead guilty and we need to hold that member accountable. That is why we have brought this resolution today. It is not pathetic. What's pathetic is somebody who's a grown adult pulling a fire alarm like they're in a high school. Hey, man, you thought they were going to stop at George Santos? You think they would get rid of one of you?

You think they would get rid of one of their own and then not come for someone on the other side? You know what I find interesting, Notez own and then not come for someone on the other side? You know what I find interesting, Notaz? With George Santos, Congress came before the court. With Jamal Bowman, Congress is coming after the courts. I guess they feel like what the courts did isn't enough. Yeah. Well, just explain what a censor is to the family so that they know.

It's a formal vote of deep disapproval so um it's really just an opportunity for you on more serious violations to stand before you know everybody in congress and kind of just get a public reprimand it's not obviously as as serious as being put out of congress like george santos um and there's really nothing else that comes with it but it's basically just you know letting everybody know we didn't approve of what you did and everybody needs to know it and we need to put it on record so um because he did plead and everybody needs to know it, and we need to put it on record. So because he did plead guilty, their argument is if you plead guilty, they need to acknowledge that formally that we don't approve of what you did. And again, he pled guilty. Santos did his ethics.

The ethics committee did find that what he did was unethical, but he has not been in court with his due process on whether he was guilty or not guilty he pled not guilty so that's where those discrepancies are but to your earlier point charlamagne once indictments started rolling and everybody started getting indictments it's it's just a pandora's box it's everybody it's open for everybody on both sides regardless of who you like um if you're gonna call one side accountable they're coming for you on the other side that's how it works hide your wife hide your hide your kids, and everybody out there.

You know Jazzy, comedian Jazzy. Right now, she's pregnant. She has a baby on the way with ex-NFL player Cam Newton. So she said this while she was doing her comedy on stage.

If y'all don't know, I'm the third one, and this is his sixth child. So I said, ooh. Why, couldn't it have been me? All right, until Larissa put that pressure on me. And I keep doing it. I could never. Why, couldn't it be me? Alright, until a rich s*** put that pressure on you. Man, I'll keep my dream up. I could never, could never be with nobody. Okay, until a hundred million dollars s*** start putting pressure on you. Man, I want to f*** you.

Talk about what you'll never be. S*** you ain't never had. Come on, man. Thank you, thank you. Oh, you better than me, I am. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Is there a limit to how many kids or baby mothers you are willing to accept when dating? Lauren LaRosa. I think it depends on the guy and the relationship with the kids' mothers, but it does get difficult the more mothers of the kids. Because it's a lot of emotions.

It's a lot of drama, especially if the kids are younger. But if the guy is handling that, he's like that middle person. If he's handling that well and the kids are older, it can be okay. But it's a lot, a lot of people to consider. So there's no limit for you? I don't know, but I will say from my past experience, i would prefer someone to not have a bunch of kids with a bunch of different women okay carry champion og carry champion uh no i i agree with her but i think also something test said something we were talking earlier that i think was interesting um off air

was you can tell what kind of man he is it's his character how many kids you have i don't but i don't think nick would agree with that, right? I think Nick thinks he's a good father to all the kids. He does. Yeah, right? Somebody in that case. But I think it tells you a lot. I would prefer not.

And that's just me. I would not. You prefer no kids. No, no, no. I don't care about that. I would prefer not to date somebody with a bunch of baby mamas. I think my limit might be two. I think two.

I did two and it was a lot mean and that's me and i'm being generous i've never had that happen and i don't think that that probably would be the case however however i can't say never because sometimes when you say i would never you'd be never never and like you'd never have so you shouldn't even sleep with uh you shouldn't even sleep with men who have a lot of kids and what i mean by that is you know every time you have sex with a person this is the possibility that you gonna get pregnant of course I mean so if that you should even sleep with a man who has a bunch of kids I'm with you it's possible that you might get maybe one of you think like that logically but then like if you meet someone that you actually like and you

like you can't sometimes you can't control those things oh my god it's all right it's just hard because every single person is so different how they handle each situation and like even with jazzy it seems like she's okay and they have a good understanding he must have a good relationship with the mothers of the kids i just but you know i yeah i don't even want to i hate to even weigh in on this because then i'll say something and we're like, how dare she? You know what I mean? How dare she feel that way? Dare do. But I think in that situation, especially with an athlete, right? It's not so much about Cam not being a former athlete, being able to take care of his kids.

He can probably do that financially. But emotionally, what is he giving his kids? And also, I would think, and people think, oh, I don't care about another woman. But I would look at how he's treated his other baby's mamas and to see how he would treat me. I think that would be an indication of what I'm getting myself into if I decided

that I wanted to be in this relationship I dated a guy he has two grown kids from the same mother and they and that was divorced right situation is completely different they're not together anymore at all divorced it's final but there is still such an attachment and such a um like if they're beefing and they had they had been beefing while we were together it was a very

intense relationship so you have to realize you're a part of all of that now and you and if you want to disturb your world and i'm a little selfish, right? Because I'm single and I don't have. And by single, I mean I'm dating and I don't have kids and I live a certain way. And I have all these different things that I'd like to do. And you was the only child. And it was a child. Well, listen, your shout out to Gary Brooks and my daddy.

Like we have a bunch of half babies, right? My dad was a Rolling Stone. But you grew up in a house primarily by yourself? Me and my mom. So you have your space, basically. I have my space. I live how I live. So that's why I said my situation is so different. So I would

have to be willing to compromise with that. I love kids, though. I love being around people's kids. I love children. I don't have a problem with that. But I think you love them because you can give them back. Yes. Take that. You said something that was important. You said something that was kids. I love children. I don't have a problem with that. But I think you love them because you can give them back. Yes. You know what I mean? Take that. You said something that was important. Time to go. You said something that was important.

Compromise. That, for me, with my past relationship, there were kids. It was a lot of compromise. Let's go to the phone lines. Kiara. Yes. Good morning. What's your thoughts, Kiara?

So, yeah, I agree. I cannot say I'm in with kids. I actually recently got out of relationship with someone who had kids although I told myself those are one of my no's and I wish I would have just stuck with my no because I definitely learned my lesson and I just went viral on TikTok because I said women do this out of a scarcity mindset when men operate on an abundant mindset so it's easy for them to pick up the one um who will settle because women tend to stay with the scarcity mindset i've never heard that said before but that makes a lot of sense women date with a scarcity mindset men date with an abundant mindset

meaning that men go out there and it's like i got mad options mad options women don't feel like they have a lot of that's interesting well we got the sean on the line to sean yeah now your girl got three baby daddies and four kids and it's not a problem for you man honestly i've been making it work we've been together about four years we got a child of our own um i guess it all depends on the caliber of man you know i mean i really don't try to to judge off of the amount of kids they got. Only problem I would say that I don't necessarily like dealing with is, you know, she has to stay in contact with another man

regarding their children so they could be in their lives. So, you know, that might be a problem. But, I mean, we've been making it work. As long as the communication is open and the honesty, I don't really see it as a problem. I mean, if you could afford it, you know long as the communication is open and the honesty, I don't really see it as a problem. I mean, if you could afford it, you know, if you like kids, then, hey, why not? Okay. Thank you, Deshaun.

You know, no problem, no problem. Y'all have a good morning over there, man. How do y'all feel about that? What's your relationship with, like, what is your relationship with the kids' fathers? Y'all got good relationships, y'all homies? Well, me personally, I don't like other men so i don't really try to talk to them or have a relationship yeah i mean i'm just telling the truth one of them you know we got into a little altercation we you know have some words but you know i'm i'm

standing on business i'm a man and you know as a man that's my woman now so you know any anything you gotta say or feel man you gotta come through me with So, you know, anything you got to say or feel, man, you got to come through me with that because, you know, when I first started messing with her, you know, it's some people like,

oh, she got, she got this many kids. At the time, I didn't have any kids when I started talking to her. And now we have one together. You know, they was like,

don't do it. You're going to be a sucker and all that. But I mean, it's just, to me, it just depends on the person. I mean,

if you got a good heart, you know, you can be a good father figure for them kids, then why not? You know what I'm saying? Okay. Thank you, brother. Alright, well, 800-585-1051. We're asking, is there a limit to how many kids or baby mothers you're willing to accept when dating? When we come

back, Jasmine's on the line. Jasmine says she got four kids and two baby dads, and she thinks it's unfair for a man not to want her. We're going to talk to her when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking 800-585-1051. Is there a limit to how many kids or baby mothers you're willing to accept when dating? This conversation comes from Jazzy Comedian.

You know, she's pregnant from Cam Newton, and she was doing a comedy stint, and this is what she said. If y'all don't know, I'm the third one, and this is the sixth child. Someone said, who? Couldn't have been me? All right, until the rich ****** put that pressure on you. Now look, keep that in mind. I could never, I could never be with nobody, okay? Until a hundred million dollars ****** start putting pressure on you. Then I don't want the ****** you to be.

Talking about some ****** now, they be. S*** you ain't never had. Oh, you better than me, I am. So we actually have another Jasmine on the line. Jasmine, good morning. Good morning. Now, Jasmine, you said you have four kids and two baby dads, and you think it's unfair for a man not to want you.

Yes, I do. So I'm not just having kids back to back to back. I have two pregnancies. I have a 10-year-old, and I have triplet boys. So for a man to think that I'm just laying on my back getting pregnant or, oh, she just has all these kids and is being being you know uh careless no that's not the case so when you date in and you meet somebody and they're like oh you have kids and you tell them what's the response and how do you respond to it so initially i'll just tell them that i have four kids to see

what their response is going to be because that's a lot harder to hear than hearing oh i have three kids that are the same age what What? Basically, they're like, oh, okay, that's pretty cool. You know, I can roll with that. So why you just don't date men your age that got the same amount of kids so y'all can be like the Brady Bunch? Honestly, I've never met a man that has kids. Really? Wait, how old are you?

What? I'm 32. Where you live at? I ain't never met a man that got kids. Where you live? What city in St. John's? I live in Ohio and I't never met a man that got kids. What city is that? I live in Ohio, and I've never dated a man that's had children. Both of my kids' dads, I'm the first. How old are your kids? Ten and three. Ten and three, she said.

The problem with dating a woman with kids, especially four kids, is... A little missed the relationship, actually. No, I'm just saying. Because when you're dating, I have six kids and Charlamagne, you have four. You don't have to do nothing.

No, when you go into that house, those kids are your kids. Really? Those kids are your kids. You sure? Man, listen. Because what winds up happening is you are the father figure

in that house. So you have to make sure those kids are at certain places. But not as fast. My brother's dad... But that's where it comes in. See, I'm saying? It is what it is. You have to take those kids to games. you have to make sure those kids are not as fast my brother's dad but that's where it comes from see i'm saying it is what it is you have to take those kids to games you have to take those kids when y'all go to mcdonald's y'all go to mcdonald's when y'all all go yeah you can't just get one you all have to go like that's why dating is very serious you

have to date with purpose i have a question for you though so when that happens right you have four kids right um he comes. He becomes the dad figure. When y'all break up, is it okay for him to never speak to the kids again? Or does he have to? Because now he's been in these kids' lives. And, you know, how does that go? So I've only been in that situation once. And he does still come around.

He still contacts my kids. Still has a relationship with them. Speaks with them. And it's pretty cool. Because the new person you're dating is really like the dad because he's there No he's not. Yes he is because he's helping the kids with the homework. He's helping with getting dressed.

When you're dealing with people who are adults who know how to communicate it's easier. But are you introducing, you're not, when you're dating, you're not introducing every man you date to your kids. Exactly, that's what I was about to say. You're waiting to introduce that person and you guys have already established what that will be and so yes he will be in his lives but you're not just bringing everybody around your

children you date the man i ain't dating the kid when you have four kids and these kids are that young she ain't gonna have that much time she she's gonna have to include the kids in some no no no no you date the man and then you figure out if the man is right for you before you bring She ain't gonna have that much time. She's gonna have to include the kids in some of the activities they do. No, no, no, no. You date the man and then you figure out if the man is right for you before you bring him to your kids. You don't bring all kinds of random men around your kids. How many dates does it take to meet your kids? A lot.

A lot. There is not a number. There's not a number. So she feels right. Okay. Yes, it has to be right. You gotta go off of how much you know about that person because people nowadays can hide their whole life and be a whole different person. That's right.

So you have to go until you feel comfortable and until you feel sure because one thing I'm not going to play about is my kids. That's right. So it's not necessarily hard for her to date. They just have to be willing to understand if they do want to make it serious, they got to be with these, got to be with her kids. Simple as that. Hello, who's this? Oh, I made it through. This is Kia. Kia, you sound like you got about six or seven.

I have zilch. I have zero. You got no kids. You sound fresh. Ready to be outside. Is there a limit, Kia, on how many kids or baby mothers you're willing to accept when dating? Me personally? One. And two is acceptable. One what?

One baby mama. One baby mama. And two kids is acceptable? Two kids is acceptable. And two baby mamas is acceptable. Now, Kia, what happens if they got three baby mamas, but he rich, Kia? That's another factor we're not putting in. If they need cannon, let's go let's go because you

heard what jazzy said everybody got something to say it's a different story when they got a little dollars okay you're willing to play like like carrie said they got a little dollars you're exactly because most of these men are homosexuals they getting women pregnant just to solidify a place to stay just to make sure they just got somewhere to come home homosexual yeah y'all really be talking like a lot of these pregnancies are intentional what do you mean they're not they're not but see that's another thing they're not being saved so like have you been to the doctor to get that checked up because a lot of men don't but a lot of men don't that's what we're talking about earlier men don't. That's what we were talking about earlier, too.

It showed you the character of a man, too, because you just popping on all these random kids with all these random people. Was Leslie Jones on the show talking about depressed peeing? Yes, right. That clip, first of all, was so hilarious because the reality is, this has nothing to do with babies and kids,

but the reality is what she was saying is so true in the world that she lives in like you get past a certain age you're getting your 30s and 40s men are depressed and they have depressed pain and i was just coming from carrie this is like just came out the moment i just be like out here swinging because she just said our girl just said they not getting checked and leslie was like go get checked go to the doctor go to the doctor men don't take care of themselves like that they be so quick to talk about a woman and what she not doing go to the doctor and check on yourself you just thought about let's not generalize okay but I don't want to generalize but I do know that men don't like going to doctor period right that's a

that's a general statement I love going to the doctor but I got help yeah and you're an exception to the rule yes I go to the doctor for every little thing. Me too. I said, on the show, because we always talk about men's health, and what we should do at certain ages. We got colonoscopies, heart checks, and all that. I said, we should go together and make it cool

to go with your brother to the doctor. Just like y'all can go and talk about certain things. We never gonna go to the barber shop and be like, yo, how was that cold last week? You had no group trip to the guy in Chicago. By the way, there's no need to have a group trip because we're going to go anyway. We're going to go anyway because it's what we should do.

I actually got a consultation next week. I'm going to get my little snip snip. No, but I think you should. What? You getting what? No more kids? It's going to affect your life. It's going to affect your sex life.

No, it's not. Okay. Snip snip. I think I should do it too I got six And I'm not having anymore I'm definitely getting I think we should go together See y'all could go do that together

What part of the time? Ejaculate 20 times. Yo. Is he lying? Yo, we should do this together. I don't believe it. I'm not.

What are you doing? You're not being crazy. The appointment or what part of the time? You gotta ejaculate 20 times. That's a lie. That's what I've been told. That's a lie. Okay, let's open up the phone line for 8 o'clock for all the men who have vasectomies. You gotta ejaculate 20 times.

Are these things that I've been hearing true? No, you don't have to ejaculate 20 times.

You want to find men and women who are experienced in cutting black vasectomy veins. Or whatever it is. What did you say? It says after you have the... Why 20 times?

Hey, can I tell y'all something? How random. Can I tell y'all something? Yes. Niggas don't read. And when us inform people who actually read things, inform y'all about stuff, y'all don't ever believe us. No, we be like, that's just weird.

Get off Twitter, okay? Read some things that actually can do something for your brain and you would have known that. Can a doctor call in and explain the 20 times? Like, why that number? Why that seems like so... Like leftover. Once you cut the tube, it's still something. Why isn't it 15?

It's still something left in the tube. Why isn't it 10? Why isn't it 30? Can you please sit down and not move your hands? We'll let you know next Friday. Next Friday, we'll let you know. We'll go in, and I'll ask her in a consultation. You guys should talk about that.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The

Breakfast Club. Good morning. We got our special guest co-host, Carrie Champion, also Lauren LaRosa. Let me say what's up to my daughter, too. She's on her way to class. Morning, Maddie. Love you, baby. Good morning, everybody. Salute to everybody who watched me on The Daily Show this week, man. I appreciate every single one of you who tuned in every night, Monday through Thursday, 11 p.m. to watch me on The Daily Show this week, man. I appreciate every single one of you who tuned in every night, Monday through Thursday,

11 p.m. to watch me on the Daily Show. Sleuth all my guests this week. My man S.A. Cosby, Robin Thede, Michael Rubin, and my man Jelly Roll joined me last night. Did you say Kelly Roller? I said Jelly Roll. How come every time I say Jelly Roll,

somebody thinks I'm saying Kelly Roller? You say it so fast. Star did that too. Star, you don't know I know that you did that unless Taylor was lying. But when I said Jelly Roll last night, she thought I said Kelly Rowland. You say it fast.

Jelly Roll. That don't sound like it now. No, it didn't. But earlier it did. Yeah, salute to the good brother, Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll wants to come up here too, man. Yeah. I love Jelly Roll, man.

I love all the success that Jelly Roll is having. He's nominated for two Grammys right now. So drop those clues bombs for Jelly Roll. Good, good brother, man. Good, good, good sovereign brother, man. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Lauren LaRosa.

I've been here for a little bit. I've been here for a minute. Move out the way. Tell her. Ladies. This is the rumor report. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice and the name. On The Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. Didn't she, right? recognize the voice and the name. On The Breakfast Club.

Lauren came in hot. You know, I came in telling the truth. So Russell Simmons sat down for In Death with Graham Bensinger. And in this interview, he speaks out about the rape allegations that came out a few years ago against him. And this is the first time that he's actually spoken on them. It's a lot of audio. I want to get into it uh he talks about taking nine lie detector tests he applauds the me too movement

but most importantly he talks about the culture of the time of music with that he was in um so let's play the first clip and then we'll get into the allegations are not true why would all these women accuse you look there's a song by houdini. I'm a whole, you know, I'm a whole. Three different girls after every show. Culturally, we thought that was the right way. And a number of sexual partners and compromising positions I put myself in is beyond anybody's imagination. You said you had more foursomes

than most men have partners. Yeah, that wasn't really... I think it was cultural and silly and egotistic and sad from an insecurity that feeds it. And a lot of reasons why we were that way. If you slept with as many people as I slept with thousands, and we're talking about six people, there were like 20, right? I spoke poorly to 15 of them. I mean, 12 of them.

I spoke poorly all the time. I'm a deaf comedy jam guy. I was crude now he does talk about you know and after hearing this I think it's important to say that he says that with the me too movement it did sensitize men in a way that they never were before especially during that time which is why he can look back and say those things but I think he always will get flack for saying it's because of the air that I came up in that I was insensitive to the women that are coming out and saying these things but I think that there's something to that

point though he shouldn't get flack for that and I wish he was I wish he was having that conversation with an enlightened woman so they could have even went deeper on the topic I think rustling more men should speak to the culture they grew up in and those convos should be allowed they should speak on the things that they did and that's how others learn most of the time in these situations we just end up tearing down the person but we need to be tearing down the system like this isn't about the individual russell simmons this is about a culture that we aren't discussing folks say they want things to change but nobody wants to discuss the culture that did fuel a lot of this behavior yeah and he's been normalized a lot of this behavior yeah he's bringing up old school houdini like how dare you like and he's right i don't think he's gonna

get flack for that i think that's fair i? And he's right. I don't think he's going to get flack for that. I think that's fair. I think that's an honest comment. I don't think that it excuses behavior. Nope. But I think it explains his mentality and perhaps a lot of mentalities

of those who haven't spoken up because I know that there are some people we consider luminaries in the hip-hop community and they've been silent on this issue because they too

probably participated in the same way in which Russell did but he's the one going down for it meaning like i can think of people we know and love and and they are now married and evolved and lived and live a totally different life and could be you know very considered very prestigious but probably participated in the same well see the only thing with russell is being a hoe is not against the law right but when you talk about and i'm taking it out of russell right but when you talk about and i'm taking

it out of russell now but when you talk about rape or sexual assault that's totally two different lines right you know i mean like and he also tried to suggest that that there's a different definition that bothered we're going to get into that and i think that that's a good point that you brought up envy because i think what he was trying to do was talk about the fact that you're taught to kind of be this almost like barbaric animal in the culture he grew up in and then you learn that there are so many levels to what a woman can not be okay with so let's get into the second it's a spectrum there's a spectrum this is amanda seals always said that it's a spectrum so he talked about let's talk let's get into it we don't want to go

backwards we want to believe with it we have to give them the benefit of doubt but we can't demonize people without proof either. Twitter cannot make a decision. I've never spoken to a policeman. I've never spoken to a judge about anything. So who's the judge and the jury here? Maybe you haven't lived in the real world. It's gray.

You know, no one's intentionally hurt anybody. It's a big difference. Rape is a strong allegation in some of these stories or that you pinned women down i mean like bad stuff you know either happened or it didn't right yeah i well you know it's a serious word but i think they've changed the meaning oh so because i've never been violent to anybody the rape is a violent crime so it is a very serious somebody jumped out of bushing the rapes why it's different i think recollection i mean so i don't think anybody's saying i'm violent of course i've

been insensitive i do not like the way he put that i think he i wish he would have now i wish he was having a conversation with a woman because as a woman i'm sitting here and i'm like just because you were not violent does not mean that someone was not uh right and that's subjective he doesn't know like you how many times as a woman have you been in a situation where you felt like i have i have met men and i've been like, this man's a little too aggressive for me. He's creepy. And he doesn't think he's creepy. He's giving me he's making me uncomfortable.

But that's the point, right? That's why I salute to my good sister, Amanda Seale. She always says it's a spectrum. And that's why these conversations are valuable. And I wish he was having this combo with an with an enlightened woman so they could really have the conversation. But you know what? And not to say, of course, when somebody says no, it doesn't have to be violent. It doesn't have to be somebody hopping out the bushes of the textbook rape.

It could be just somebody saying no. But like you said, where somebody might have been too aggressive for you, somebody else might have liked that aggressive. You know what I mean? That's the thing. But once somebody says no, you don't have to be jumping out of bushes. It could be no is no. It could be the most sensual, romantic thing. But if somebody says no and don't have to be jumping out of bushes it could be no is no it could be the most sensual romantic thing but if somebody says no and you continue on it's

right and even if someone doesn't say no and they come back and say in that moment i wasn't comfortable there's something you gotta think about sometimes and men aren't thinking that men aren't thinking that at all these conversations are valuable and i hope one day we can have them without you know tearing each other down because it's not about tearing down an individual it's about tearing down a system tearing down a culture but you know i know we gotta go but something to what you said you know if if we're intimate right and the next day something that you didn't like and you didn't mention it that day how would a man know though i think i'm saying no no what she's suggesting is i think as a woman there's just some there's

body language there's a a way that we feel like sometimes men because you guys are i believe that you all not you men per se but men in general i think their instinct is hunt and ours is very much like i have been in a situation where a guy has been a little too handsy for me i'm like i'm good and he thinks i like it or i just get up and move i mean i don't have even if you say i'm good you're telling me I don't have even verbalize it or maybe I don't even verbalize it maybe I don't even verbalize it I kind of just move like I don't want to be bothered they still don't understand that you're not even looking for that because they think oh she wants it you'll peep it like you might people on the outside but they don't get it they don't

get it what do you do in that situation you know what I mean all right so all right well that is your rumor report shall we give you a donkey today we give you a donkey too Michael Gordon from Florida he needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him and remember insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. 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.

The breakfast club, bitches. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this yes donkey of the day for friday december 8th goes to 46 year old michael gordon michael is from florida ladies and gentlemen what does your uncle charla always say about the great state of florida say it with me the craziest people in america come from the bronx and all of florida and today is no different now insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results and clearly everybody in

florida is insane okay florida is a non-stop dramedy you hear me the things that happen in florida are like a scripted comedy and this is hilarious now michael gordon pleaded no contest yesterday to a misdemeanor obstruction charge and was sentenced to five days in custody and five hundred dollars light charge but michael is a repeat offender see michael is listed as a to a misdemeanor obstruction charge and was sentenced to five days in custody and $500. Light charge, but Michael is a repeat offender. See, Michael is listed as a transient and he was convicted in late July of trespassing after he unsuccessfully tried to enter a parked truck, a parked van in St. Petersburg, Florida. He was originally charged with burglary, which is a felony. He copped to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to 115 days in jail.

Michael Gordon has a pretty long rap sheet, includes burglary narcotics possession trespassing theft prowling criminal mischief and obstructing police sounds to me like he needs help okay not jail time he needs rehab not prison this man should clearly be in somebody's facility getting help for this disease that is addiction that's just you know my opinion now michael as i told you earlier got arrested for obstruction charges and was sentenced to five days mind you he just got out for trespassing in fact and i'm not making this up and this is why he's getting donkey of the day and this is also how i know god has a sense of humor michael when he was arrested was wearing a t-shirt that says i just got out of prison i'm not making this up. Let's go to TBC News for the report, please. A man wearing a shirt declaring,

I just got out of prison, was locked up after police responded to a 911 call about a male suspect entering a parked car and stealing a wallet. Wait a second. Why would somebody leave a wallet in the car? Why would they do that? That's just asking for somebody to steal it.

Anyway, back to the news. 46-year-old Michael Gordon pleaded no contest yesterday to a misdemeanor obstruction charge and was sentenced to five days in custody and fined $500. How's he going to pay it? He didn't get to keep the wallet. Anyway, the criminal count against Gordon stemmed from his refusal to identify himself to deputies probing the reported auto break-in. A portable fingerprint scanner was used to identify Gordon, who told cops, call my lawyer. Oh, that's really going to work with the cops. They love that. Gordon's shirt accurately reflected his most

recent scrape with the law. Remember, his shirt said, I just got out of prison. His rap sheet includes convictions for burglary, narcotics, possession, trespass, theft, prowling, criminal mischief, and obstructing police. From the TBC newsroom in New York, I'm very white. Shout out to Very White. That was an entertaining one. This is exactly why, no matter how bad the situation is situation is i'm gonna crack me a little jokey joke okay i'm never taking anything too serious because god is the most serious unserious all-knowing being ever god created us

all right we are all created in the image and likeness of god even the worst parts of us god made a choice to create us and give us free will because God knew I'm going to make these creatures called humans. And then we, meaning me, Jesus and the angels, just going to kick back and watch all this play out. Florida is God's boondocks. I am sure of it. The earth, America in particular, is God's favorite screaming platform. And every state is a different, you know, screaming channel. OK.

And Florida is God's boondocks, okay? Only on the boondocks would a man just get out of jail, all right, be wearing a I just got out of prison T-shirt and get arrested again. Let me ask another question. What jail in Florida is giving out these T-shirts and why? There is no doubt in my mind that there's a correctional facility in Florida giving these out. I just went to jail in Florida and all I got is this Lousy t-shirt.

Whose idea was this? Okay, dear correctional facilities, if you want to do some actual correcting, don't give these folks shirts with sayings that look, you know, celebratory. I just got out of prison. That's not a flex, okay? I'm happy you're free, but I just graduated law school as a flex. I'm cancer free as flex. Those are great to wear on your bodies.

Please give Michael Gordon the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's Prison with swag bags is crazy. I like it, though. I like it. You need something to wear when you get out. What you doing? What if they give you a swag bag when you go in and it got a big-ass bottle of lube in it?

Big-ass bottle of Annalise. I bet you that'll keep you from calling. Say, peace, BET. You right. All right, man. Peace, BET. Even though it's two in the morning um you have a picture the guy oh i do actually it's on my phone you wanna play a game um and we know where he is what do you think he is black why no why this didn't scream black to

me ain't nothing about this green black. What is it? Meth head white. Capital Riot white. Capital Riot white. He is Capital Riot white. Look at him. Look at him. This man needs help. I know a meth addict when I see one, damn it. Yes.

This man needs treatment, not prison. We should have played a game. Super 8 white. Bam. Super 8? Okay. Now it's Friday, so you know what that means it's freaky freaky freaky friday let's talk vasectomies let's talk vasectomies let's talk

It's Freaky Friday. It's Freaky Friday. It's Freaky it's freaky it's freaky call in now 800-585-1051 we want to hear from you on the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's friday this is not freaky friday man it's just friday so we're asking. No, it's not. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. What's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday about it?

Anytime we're talking about private parts, I think it should be Freaky. All right. So it's Friday. So you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. All right. And the Freaky, Freaky Friday question is. We're talking vasectomies, man.

Charlamagne and myself, we're going next Friday for a consultation for a vasectomy. I don't know nothing about you. I'm going to get a consultation. We're going together. So we're just curious to know what it's like, what it's done, what happens.

And by the way, if you haven't made your appointment yet, Envy, which you haven't, you need to make it because it's going to be tough. The reason I'm going next Friday

is because that's what's open. No kidding. So you have to do the consultation first and then... We going. We're not going. Yes, we are.

I thought we could get on his consultation. The 20 times thing. We wanted to know about that too. Yes, because that's what i heard when i asked people that have gotten vasectomies i know a lot of good people around me who've gotten vasectomies and they say that no you're gonna be down for like a day you know but then you get back to work and then they said uh you have to ejaculate 20 times well we have d on the line d is actually in the parking lot

right now about to get his done that's what i'm talking about look at god talk to me d oh hey good morning how's everybody doing what's up brother you got somebody driving you right you didn't drive yourself did you thank you no no hold on there was a reality center but i had my mistake to be done four months ago oh i'm actually dropping off my fourth sample so i can get cleared to be good to get oh you're dropping off a sample. How many times have you ejaculated since the four months? Have you done it 20 times yet? Yeah, I've done it 20 times. That's what's crazy about it.

You're talking about four months at a time. It normally takes two. But on my first two, they found, you know, dead specimens. And so I didn't get my clearance. This is my hope. So I can get cleared. What made you cut your cable, King? I got three kids, man.

A six-year-old, a three-year-old, and an 18-month-old. And I'm done. You're done. How old are you, brother? Say it again. How old are you? 36. Oh, you cut your cable early.

Oh, yeah, man. I'm done with it. I can't take any more chances. So what? I don't wear a condom. Did it hurt? Yeah, it was one of the most wild experiences, man. I'm going to be honest with you, Charlemagne.

I'm going to be honest. It's not as easy as everyone claims it to be. For real? It's not, though. You know, you get it done, and then a day or two later, it's over. I had this thing called a punch hole procedure. So, they either do with a scalpel or they do the punch hole. And the hole is open for like a couple weeks afterwards.

Oh, uh-uh. You can feel it. I ain't doing no punch hole. So, D, let me ask you a question, D. So what happens if, you know, something happens and it wipes off all the people in this world and you got to help repopulate the universe? What happens in that situation, D? Well, you know, they say that it's reversible. and you gotta help repopulate the universe. What happens in that situation?

Well, you know, they say that it's reversible. So I guess if I needed to, you know, I would do it again. But I'm not planning on it. What happens if like you gotta keep going back because they keep finding like...

Semen? Yeah, like do you have to go back again to get another vasectomy 2.0? I don't know. No, I don't think so. I think that once it's done, it should be done.

It just may take longer so you're different for everybody. Oh, I don't think so. I think that once it's done, it should be done. It just may take longer. It seems different for everybody. Oh, my God. This is my fourth time. God bless you. Thank you, D. That's crazy if you cut your cable and you only got like two channels left. Like, imagine if you cut your cable at home, but you turn the TV on and it's just CNN and ESPN.

You'd be like, what the hell? We got Lewis on the line. Lewis, you've had it done twice? Twice, my man. Why? Why twice? Okay, so I'm going to explain it to you guys. And after I had my son, I didn't want any more kids.

So I had my first vasectomy. So what they did was they cut. Well, I didn't know that it could reattach. And apparently it's common that it could reattach. And apparently it's common that it can reattach. Really? It happens when Antonio Camardi, the defensive. Yep, Antonio Camardi. He listens to the show.

So when my wife told me she was pregnant, again, I accused her of cheating. I thought she was. But no, what happened was that they didn't cauterize both sides. So you got to make sure that when you get your bisectomy that they cut and they burn both sides of that skin so that it doesn't reattach. What does it smell like when they burn it? Oh, my goodness. Listen, I had it done, man. It was so uncomfortable because it was a teaching hospital.

Yeah. So they had a student come in and they had two girls, one holding me. Oh, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah. Don't bring me no rookie, yo. You got to bring me somebody that's at least all pro. I don't have to have a teacher in the hospital, but I need at least all pro. They all looking at my testicles like, where you see?

A lot of things they tell you to go to a research hospital Because they're always steadily advancing Versus other hospitals I promise you A lot of kids want to take a selfie Look at Envy's testicle I actually had that happen to me before Can I take a selfie with you? No no no

I went to UCLA And I live in LA also But I was at the doctor At the gynecologist and it was a research day and I'm literally in like laying down harnessed up y'all know what it's like when you go get um you've been harnessed in before. Go ahead. He's been harnessed in before. You've been harnessed in from the back. Come on, guys. Well, you've been from the front.

I'm sorry. Sorry. We don't even know what happens in your house. So, I'm sitting there in the harness, and she's examining me. It's just my yearly appointment. And you big as hell, so you look crazy. Could you imagine? Do you mean big as in how

six foot seven okay thank you could you imagine five oh that's carry champion so then she was like if you don't mind i want to bring a student in if you don't mind she asked she said if you don't mind i want to bring a student in she was like actually they're going to come in because we're just a research hospital and i was like i do mind but i didn't have to sign anything but i said i do mind is it gonna be something about it i just she just bought the woman in bought the kids anyway i thought it was gonna be one how many kids it was seven doctors it was show and tell and she was like in there twisting and twisting i was i was i mean i was this was not when i was known so i was fine but i was like yo this is it was embarrassing you gotta see her

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.

It's Freaky Friday. Hey, look, where are my freaks at? Call in now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Yeah.

Morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Charlemagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's Friday, so you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. And the Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question comes because next Friday, Charlemagne and myself are going to a consultation to get a vasectomy. Charlamagne is going.

Charlamagne has a consultation to get a vasectomy next Friday. We're going together as friends should. Snip, snip. I don't know what Envy talking about. Envy has not made an appointment. I have. I know. We have and we're going together.

We're going to go together. That's right. So we're asking Ada. We could all do a field trip. We could do a field trip. Because we just talked about a field trip. So we can all do that. Yeah.

My mom ain't signing off on that one. My mom ain't signing off on that one. My mom ain't signing off on that one. No. I want to see. I want to see. 585-1051. So we got a gentleman that's on the phone. What's your name, sir?

Joshua? Yeah. Call ID, say Joshua. Good. All right. So now you want to talk about the ejaculation 20 times. Yeah. So the reason you have to ejaculate

at least 15 or 20 times is because everybody's different. And when we, as men, ejaculate, most of that is seminum fluid. And there's very little sperm that actually live in that seminum fluid. So the more you ejaculate, the more sperm you release.

So different guys ejaculate different volumes. Some people might ejaculate a lot. Some might ejaculate very small. So the more times you do it, the more you clean up your system because depending on what kind of the second you get,

there's two kinds. Depending on the kind you get, which is the most invasive one, the tight of knots, you got to clean up your system. So if you already stored something within your tubes, and they tie the knots. You got to clean out their systems. So if you already stored something within your tubes, they're tied to knots in your tubes and your testicles,

then you still have a lot of sperm that are still in there. And only so many sperm are ejaculated as you go out. Do you work there? I'm getting the most innovative one possible. That's the one I'm ordering off the menu. Give me the most basic one. You're going to get a basic? How are you going to do that?

That sounds like you're going to be back there again. Yeah, like a boy. I ain't going back. Brandon! Yes, sir. How y'all doing this morning? Good, good, good. Peace, King.

You got a vasectomy, bro? Yeah, man. So I did it. I had one too many homecoming mistakes, man. I just couldn't keep it going no more. How many kids you got? What? I got two, man.

Each one came off of a homecoming. What homecoming? Howard? Hampton? South Carolina State? Norfolk State University. 757? Yes, sir. So you got to be second. I'm like, what, man? Yeah, I had to. I had to. So do you regret it? I do because sometimes

I feel like I took that last little bit of masculinity I had left. That was that power, you know, the juice. It was right there. Anytime you just get the sling and the bullets off the gun. Man, cut it out. The gun's still there, but it's not loaded anymore. That is not true.

Pshum, pshum. That is not true. They definitely talking about you. Emails say, hey females say hey look look look y'all go get it done it's easy for y'all to do it it can take you 10-20 minutes and you walk out you good to go the next day after a bag of ice but once you do it

it's permanent you can't go back I mean you can if you got enough money and you go to a great doctor but they're going to tell you 9 times out of 10 it might work well Charlamagne and I are going on next Friday. We're going, man. Charlamagne is going. Field trip, field trip. Charlamagne is doing a consultation

next Friday. I think it's the least you could do as a man, especially if your wife has a certain number of kids and she's just not comfortable because she don't want to have any more children. It's hard out here when women get pregnant. Especially when they're a certain age.

Hey, what's up, brother? So, you know, I know you just got one in July. I shall limit myself for going Friday for a consultation. I don't know why he keeps saying himself. I don't understand this himself. What advice can you give us, brother? Yeah, man. So, honestly, there's no pain.

I was scared to go in. A lot of people, you know, I was getting a bunch of different reviews. But honestly, what I was going to say, well, I didn't feel anything. There was no pain. But afterwards, the soreness, when they tell you to sit down, ice yourself, listen. Because I heard you say, Charlamagne, earlier that

you down for like a day. Nah, dude. When you think you're okay, you get to walking around thinking everything's normal, you're going to be in pain, bro. Let me ask you a question. Do you have to pull your penis out? Like, do you got to take your pants all the way off? While you're in a procedure, yeah. You got to just roll. Take your pants off.

They have a nurse in there. Did the nurse giggle when you took your pants off? Nah, none of that. Make sure you manscape, too. You so ridiculous. Yeah, you got to do that beforehand. Or they do it for you. And I heard they rough.

So if you don't do it yourself. Hold up, you got to shave your pee-pee ball? Yeah, you got to shave because they cut that to scrotum. So you got to shave. I'm not going to lie, I've been dying to go try a wax. So I might do that. You've never done it before? I've never done a male wax.

Now that is going to be an experience. I'm not going with you on that one. You don't go with him to that. I'm not going with that one. Oh my God, you're going to be in hell. Girl, why would you want to try the wax. Oh my God. You're going to be in hell. Girl, why you like- I love that.

Why would you want to try to wax? Could you imagine how that's going to feel? Like hair being pulled off your testicles? Get a full Brazilian. Get a full Brazilian. Get that down. I was, oh, you're going to be in pain. I think I'm going to try that.

I love that you're going to be in pain. I kind of wanted to do it. Don't do it. I don't like having hair down there. I mean, I'm manscaping that, but I don't like having all that hair. So then you're going to keep it up. You're going to keep continuing to wax it. You got to go on.

I might get it lasered after a while. You're going to laser your testicles? You are such a bad B. I don't know. Dang, that's going to be hard. He think he a baddie for real. Yes. He's like, that's going to be so painful.

He really think he more chestnut. All I know is I'm going to get my consultation next week. So I'll know exactly what I need to do after next Friday. I will say this in closing. I didn't know you had to shave your tits. That was a new one. No, man. They got to get down there.

Don't nobody want to be on your hairy tits. That's like if you get surgery in your head and shave it. I don't nobody want to be on your hairy that's like if you get like surgery in your head and shave it I don't know well you know what you can take

the actual hair from your testicles and put it up top because your hair don't grow you're going to take the hair from your beard

so you're going to take the paint and then put the paint all over your I'm bald sir but now I will say this in closing next Friday

Charlamagne and myself are going for a consultation stop saying yourself I will say this Charlamagne you have to ice yourself I'm not icing you.

And you have to figure the masturbation part yourself. But next Friday, we are going together. I've already made my appointment. I don't know what Envy's talking about. My appointment is next Friday. And it's a consultation. No, no. We going together.

I'm not going to get it done next Friday. It's a consultation. And then I'll get it done shortly after. At 1 o'clock. No, that is not the time. What time? None of your damn business.

you do you're beautiful you look good you do look amazing yo you're so annoying man he's a child he's a child

oh my god he's a child let's get into it I'm gonna start with this skill of baby record bae it's not necessarily

new but it's going crazy right now and my new interview with him on my podcast we need to talk went viral i keep getting tagged in it so definitely make sure you check it out i like that i like a man that knows some hair you can go bust down middle part of drop on the clues bombs and kill a baby

that's your anthem i love that song i love that song it too. All right, so the next one we're going to get into is by an R&B singer named Adana Daru. I think I'm saying it right. And the record is called Boogie. Cool. Cool record. It's cute. I like a lot of her music, actually.

So if you're into that type of R&B, definitely check her out. What is that type of R&B? Explain. Break it down. Smooth. OK. Sexy. She also dabbles in Afro beats too, but I like her R&B? Explain. Break it down. Smooth. Okay. Sexy. She also dabbles in Afro beats, too, but I like her R&B more. Right.

And then, can I do four songs today? That's okay. Now we got four? You got four? Yeah. Speaking of Afro beat, I have this record by somebody named World, and it's called Seraphina. Seraphina. Okay.

Like it? Yeah. That means fiery. Is that what it means? Yeah, fiery. Fiery, burning. Okay. I thoughterafina. Okay. Like it. Yeah. That means fiery. Is that what it means? Yeah, fiery. Fiery, burning. Okay. I thought Serafina was water.

I thought it was too, but I was like, you know what? Aquafina is water. Boy, y'all so smart. Y'all generation is the smartest generation I've ever seen in my life.

And I'm being sarcastic. You know what? Serafina is a restaurant. Yeah, I was gonna say that's a restaurant in New York. Every time I see the restaurant in LA, I thought it was water. It's actually a name.

It's probably the person's name, a girl's name. It's a girl's name. And it means fiery or burning. All right, all right. Jesus Christ. You so happy you know something. He Googled it. Judgmental.

He didn't just know that. All right, last one, obviously, is off of Nicki Minaj's project. And my favorite one off of first listen was definitely the one where her and Uzi called everybody. Tough tune. Very tough tune. This is why I'm so mad at record labels. Because record labels don't be doing their job no more. Because there's no reason Nicki Minaj shouldn't have had a bigger rollout if she got big records like this.

She got... That record is big. The record with Drake is big. The Cole record. Of course you're going to say the Cole record. No, that is really going to be my pick, but the Uzi one was so hard. I'm trying to talk about that one as a one, too. I was talking about it earlier.

They weren't really impressed. The one with J. Cole? I like it. The one with J. Cole was dope. I like Needle with Drake. I like that Uzi record. The Uzi record's tough. All I'm simply saying is Republic did not do their job because there's no reason Nicki

shouldn't have had a bigger rollout. I didn't even know Nicki's album was coming out. I didn't know it either. I remember she said it. Eesh. I didn't even know Nicki's album was coming out. I didn't know it either. I remember she said it. I remember I said that yesterday. I was like, damn,

Nicki got an album coming out tomorrow? So artists don't have any say in that, I'm asking. I'm sure they do. Nicki Minaj, she's a powerhouse. She has a lot of say.

So are you just mad at Republic? What if she didn't want it? Maybe Nicki's mad at Republic for something and didn't want to do anything. I mean, I would say just

across the board, people always pick the wrong single, I feel like. Does she have a single? Everything was an easy pick-up. Red Ruby, The Sweeze, and Super Freaky. You're right. Because if I had the Uzi record, I'm putting that out first. That should have been it. Especially when I want to rock and sing it off.

Drake Needle should have been out. Absolutely. Come on. Absolutely. Stop relying on artists and their social media followings to promote music. Labels do your damn job and happy birthday Nikki

To live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the what is next of our lives, okay? Without dreams and goals, there is no living, only merely existing. And that is not why we are here.

Have a blessed weekend. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
