iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Marie. And I'm Sydney. And we're Mess. Well, not a mess, but on our podcast called Mess, we celebrate all things messy. But the gag is, not

everything is a mess. Sometimes it's just living. Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girl's trip to Miami. Mess. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living.

It's kind of a mess. Yeah. Well, you get it. Got it? Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, USA. All right. Charlamagne got some technical difficulties. It's Monday.

Back to the work week. Hopefully you guys are feeling good today. How y'all feeling? How was your weekend? What is going on? Now, I am broadcasting from home today because this is going to sound nasty, but I have to get my colon checked. I colonoscopy is what they call it. And when you do that, they give you these pills. And after you take these pills within 30 minutes, like every five, 10 minutes, you're on the toilet, you are on the toilet. And, uh, any, uh, person out there listening,

any male that's, uh, I would say over the age of 35, definitely get yourself checked. And then your doctor will tell you what you need to do and how you need to do it. Now that is the same thing that, uh, killed Chadwick Boseman, colon cancer. So I am definitely, uh, high, highly sensitive on anything out there. So I get myself checked on everything. I don't care what it is. I use my health insurance to the full capacity. So I am going today to get my colonoscopy.

Like I said, in the procedure, I'm just telling you guys, I know a lot of people are scared. A lot of people don't want to do it. A lot of people say, oh, that's gay. No. If you find out early, it could definitely save your life. So they give you these pills. You have to do it a lot of people say oh that's gay no if you find out early it could definitely save your life so they give you these pills you have to take it twice so yesterday as i was watching the cowboys lose i was on the toilet watching them and pretty much you poop until it's water and then i have to do the same thing this morning at 9 30 take another pill and then you poop until it's water and then you go they stick, I guess, a tube or a camera up your butt

and they check to make sure that, you know, there's no polyps or there's nothing cancerous or any bumps or anything like that. And that is the procedure. So that is what I'm doing today. And that is the reason why I'm home today because if not, in between breaks, I will be running to the bathroom to figure that out.

Now, Charlemagne, we're trying to get him connected. He was connected. He could speak, but he couldn't hear us. So we're just trying to get that together. All right. Now we got front page news next. We're going to be talking about a lot. Front page news. Of course, we got to talk about the Monterey Park shooting and sports. I don't know if your favorite team won or your favorite team lost, but I'm still on after the Eagles and after Cowboys all week long. All right. And then, of course, Sherri Shepherd, comedian Sherri Shepherd, will be joining us. Drop a bomb for Sherri Shepherd. Of course, she has her new talk show.

She's a comedian, and we're going to be kicking it with her in a little bit. So let's get the show cracking. Front page news is next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now, NFL scores. All right, my Giants will be home early vacation. The Eagles beat the Giants 38-7. Eddie, who is a Giants fan, F you. The Chiefs beat the Jaguars 27-20. The Bengals beat the Bills 27-10. And the Cowboys lost to the 49ers 19-12.

Now, Cowboys kicker missed his fifth point after her, which is crazy. So he missed five in a row. So that is your front page news. So it looks like we're going to be seeing the Bengals versus the 49ers and the Eagles versus the Chiefs. Well, other way around. But you know what I mean? The Eagles versus the 49ers and the Bengals versus the Chiefs. Now, in some sad news over the weekend, Saturday night, there was a party at a Star Ballroom Dance Studio out in California. And this was a Lunar New Year's Festival. And Wukan Tran, the 72-year-old's name, they believed he went in there and started shooting. Wound up killing 10 people.

And we have actual audio. The white van entered a shopping center parking lot. When officers exited their patrol vehicle to contact the occupant, they heard one gunshot coming from within the van. Two armored vehicles responded and were able to restrict the van's movement. At 12.52 p.m., our sheriff's SWAT team approached and cleared the van and determined the suspect sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect has been identified as Hu Can Tran. He is a 72-year-old male Asian. That there are no outstanding suspects from the mass shooting incident

that occurred in the city of Monterey Park now they don't know why he did it the reason they his neighbors actually spoke and said he there was nothing crazy it was nothing odd they didn't see anything you know do we have a audio of the neighbor Pat Ross says he was a dance instructor but didn't know much else about him he says he lived alone you just don't know day to day what who's who and what's what you know it's he didn't strike me as having an angry bone in his body but that's just seeing him coming and going so i i don't know but yeah it's a little unnerving yeah so rest in peace uh to anybody that that passed away and condolences to any of the families

out there that's so sad and you just don't know what's gonna make somebody snap you know we always talk about trying to avoid crazy or avoid somebody snapping but you just don't know 72 year old dance instructor just out the blue and nobody has a reason why as of yet lastly if you've been shopping if you've been grocery shopping you notice the prices of eggs have been going crazy. And that's because a combination of the earliest bird flu outbreak in U.S. history and supply chain. So eggs are shot up from, I think, like two dollars to over five dollars in some places and over seven and twelve dollars in some places. They said that now they said in Mexico, they're saying that there have been smuggling eggs over the U.S. border. Damn near more than drugs. How crazy is that?

So forget the marijuana, the coke and whatever else they smuggle over guns and weapons. They're saying egg smuggling has soared 60 percent in December, which is wild. All right. And that is your front page news. Now, Charlemagne, he's there. We're just trying to get him on. He can he, but he can't hear us. So he can talk. We're trying to get it so he can actually hear us. Hopefully we'll work that out in the next 30 seconds, the next 60 seconds. But get it off your chest. You there, Charlemagne?

Oh, you can hear me now? I can hear you. Oh, word. Okay. Alright. We in business then. Alright. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

That's not fair Why would we think you was finessing? Cause you gonna say, um, when I was telling you about what I was going through and DJ Envy lied about his disability claims. Y'all going to try to say I was finessing the system. I don't even remember what you're talking about. What are you talking about, Dima? Congratulations on that.

Yeah, we just talked about congratulations on the Eagles winning. Oh, yes. But congratulations on finessing the system as well. I'm not finessing the system, for real. All right, no, but seriously. So, do you know the Bank of America and the Zelle thing? Like, when people was calling. Okay, so do we think that was another attack to the Zelle?

I do. I said that. I thought that was another cyber attack. Somebody tapping America's jaw right now, just letting us know it can go down. I think so, too. And real quick, I just want to promote, I'm starting a podcast and we're going to talk about stuff like that,

how our government out here acting like a whole-ass boy to, you know, life, you know, everything. So, follow me. What's it going to be called? The John Podcast?

No. It's called the Intellectually Opinionated Podcast. Okay, IOP Alright Thank you, Lima Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, Enzi

Yo, what up, Charlamagne What up, it's Low Man, what's good? Peace Mo, what up? Get it off your chest Yeah, I just I just be tight

That these jobs, man They be quick to suspend you Or quick to, like, restrict you And then They take 20 years Or they drag their seat To bring you back, bro. Like, yo, I ain't do nothing.

I'm good and stuff. Why did they suspend you? Why did they suspend you? Nah, I work in the group homes and all that. You know what I mean? So these days they could just call in a case on you and then you get suspended and all that. But, yo, listen, man. To everybody out there that got kids in that group home and all that, yo, get them kids out as best as you can, man.

As hard as you can. Get those kids out. This group home stuff is crazy, B. I mean, they're in the group home because they don't really have any other options at the moment. So it's not as simple as saying get them out. Nah, bro, let me tell you something. You say that now, but listen,

a lot of these kids be putting their own selves in these places. They be straight lying and then they get put in these places. So, listen, love your kids and be around for your kids, man. This is not it, man. This generation is over, Lord. Yo, Cal girls, later. See y'all later. First of all, stop misgendering my team, okay?

I don't know why y'all just be out here misgendering people for no reason. Hello, who's this? Yeah, it's Richie Rich from Jersey, man. Richie Rich from Jersey. Sound depressed. You must be a Giants fan. No, a Cowboys fan. These guys, man, they keep disappointing me every year, man.

20 years and counting. 27 years. 27, exactly, sir. Yeah, yeah, man. I mean, I'm eating my garlic to my blood pressure, so I'm going to have another couple cloves of garlic to my blood pressure. No, you can't let them do that to you, my brother. Listen to your Uncle Sean.

I told y'all two weeks ago, I'm not delusional about my Cowboys. I had zero expectations for them, okay? I didn't think they would beat the Bucs because of Dak Prescott's inconsistency and the fact the defense got shaky over the last few weeks of the regular season. In the playoffs, the defense showed up, even though yesterday we couldn't stop the run. But Dak was absolute garbage yesterday. And once Tony Pollard went down, I know we didn't have a chance, but I didn't think we had a chance to begin with.

So what do y'all do with the kicker? What do y'all do with the kicker? I think Jerry should just step back and just let someone else run the team. I don't even know if it's involved. I agree with that, but it's not just Jerry. We need a coach. Mike McCarthy got to go, and we need a coach that is able to come in and bring his own system and instill discipline in that team

without Jerry's interference at all. And what about the kicker? What do you do with the kicker? The kicker was fine. Did he miss another uh another uh no man the kicker he got his he got his first field goal blocked yesterday and then after that he was the only reason that we even stayed in the game that kick amar gave us four six points yesterday i'm fine with bar all right well get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's totally night and day. Like, they act like what Biden did was just my bad. But when it was Trump, it was criminal investigations. And, you know, he's so, even Biden said, oh, he's so irresponsible. How could you be so irresponsible? That's what we're asking now. That's what we're asking about you, President Biden.

Hello, who's this? Clint from Alabama. Hey, what's up, Clint? Get it off your chest. Man, I got a question. A thought just ran through my head. They say there's a shortage of chicken, right? I mean, shortage of eggs because of the bird flu, right?

Correct. All right. So why is there not a shortage of chicken? I thought it was a shortage of chicken. I think it is a shortage of chicken as well. Okay, I'm asking that. That's the question I want to ask. I think it's a shortage of chicken as well

and a shortage of eggs. Last year, it was definitely a chicken shortage. Well, I remember last year, it was a shortage of chicken. But you know why there's not a shortage of chickens. They genetically modify chickens. Oh, man. That's even worse. But you know why there's not as short as the chickens. They genetically modify chickens. Oh, man. That's even worse.

But you know this, though. Come on. Well, we know this because the wings are bigger. The legs are bigger. Yeah, we know this. They get the chickens and BB out.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves.

You know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture,

that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

It's a Monday. Happy Monday. You know what we need?

What we need? We need the LGBTQ plus community to come to the defense of the Cowboys. Okay? Because for years, folks have been misgendering the Cowboys, calling them cowgirls. And this morning, I'm seeing a lot of that. A lot of misgendering of America's team. So could someone from the lgbtq disney plus community please say something all right where's the alphabet gang when you need

them we need y'all right now up let's get to the rumors let's talk black eyed peas rumor hazard rumor rumor hazard call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting this is the rumor report i mean i guess we on Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On the Breakfast Club. Now, Black Eyed Peas are suing the Poopsie Slime Surprise, which is a brand of slime pooping unicorn that currently retails for $100 to $300 on Amazon. And the reason that they're suing

is we all remember the My Humps hit that Black Eyed Peas did a couple of years ago. All right, well, the Poopsie Slime Surprise actually did it over. And they're not saying they did it over, but this is their song. I don't understand the obsession with poop. Like, it's quite a few things in my house over the last couple of years that, you know, my kids have that are poops in it. And I don't understand the obsession with poop. Remember back in the day they would say poop stays in the bathroom?

Yes. I don't understand why everything's a poop-scented toy now. They got the unicorn that poops. They got this one little bird that you feed, and then the bird dances, and then the bird poops. Like, what's the obsession with poop, man? I don't know, as I just left the toilet from pooping, because I've been pooping all yesterday and pooping all morning Well because you're getting a colonoscopy Yeah I'm getting a colonoscopy so I had to take the test and it's some poops like you poop in water

Like it's just straight I told you that You thought that you was going to come to work this morning I said there is no way I told you the prep is the hardest part I did a colonoscopy over the holidays the prep is the hardest part You was not going to come to work and then have a 3 p.m. colonoscopy appointment. You're out of your damn mind. You got to be.

I'm surprised you can even get through a break without running to the bathroom. No, well, I have to take my second pill in about another nine o'clock. Well, 12. So could you take

12 sets of pools? Yeah, I got to take 12 this morning at 930. You still taking. Oh, you know what? I thought I did mine different, though. I did mine.

My colonoscopy was early, early in the morning. That's why. No, mine is at three. I had like a seven o'clock appointment. Seven a.m. appointment. Yeah, mine is at three. So I got to take it at nine. So I'll be pooping a little more.

All right, now we got to talk about Drake. Drake performed at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York, which was pretty dope. He brought out a bunch of legends. People were actually, a lot of people were actually in the stands and watching him. I seen Ice Spice was there. Kevin Durant was there. Justin and Hall there uh justin and hallie bieber odell beckham jr michael rubin i've seen

the mayor of new york city uh eric adams was there i've seen the judge uh not a real judge but you know aaron judge from the new york yankees and he brought out a couple of people he brought out the diplomats and this is the reason why these These guys right here from Harlem made us dress different, talk different, walk different, rap different, all the way in Canada. So please, the pride of New York to me, make some motherfucking noise for the dip set one time. And yo, by the way, this is Cam's actual mink, by the way. I just want to make that clear. I didn't just get some mink made. This is the real one.

And Cam preserved that mink all those years, huh? Yeah. Okay. Which is pretty dope. He also brought out 21 Savage. We got to order that. 21. Talk to the opposite. Swim in. Turn around. Do your dance. Say what?

Yellow diamonds in the white. Yeah. It's a lot. Number seven. The crowd went crazy. He also brought out Uzi, little Uzi Vert on Sunday, on yesterday. Now, I was really liking the way they did that show. You know, usually you do it in concert.

You do it in venues that hold 18, 20,000. But I love the small venues. It felt more packed. It felt close. It felt together. I like the small venues. And it's the Apollo, man. It's a legendary venue.

Is the log still there? Did somebody rub the log before they came out? Pause. But the log never moved. So I'm sure the log was still there. And also, NYPD was taping everybody as they were uh leaving and coming out so anybody that went into that show you know they were out outside with the uh the camera phone taping everybody and that's probably because they have that that software that can identify faces for warrants and stuff like that but they were taping anybody that went in that venue last night

anybody that went in or anybody that came out both went in Went in and went out. Oh, okay. All right. Now, also, lastly... Who tried to fly? Hmm? Tell you about the dude who tried to fly last night, the Drake fan. Oh, well, yeah. He didn't try to fly.

He was actually... Drake was performing and somebody fell off the top balcony and Drake did what he was supposed to. He stopped the show and made sure dude was okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Just got to make sure somebody's okay. Make sure somebody's okay. Alright. Just gotta make sure somebody's okay. Make sure somebody's okay. I think we forget that Drake fans are owls. You know what I'm saying?

They're owls. And sometimes owls fall out of a tree because they be learning how to fly. That's what baby owls do. If you see a baby owl on the ground, it's because the baby owl was just learning to fly so it's going to spend some time on the ground it's just a normal part of life takes them some days a few weeks to actually learn how to fly all right well that is your rumor report now when we come back uh your tax refund will likely be a lot smaller this year we'll let you you know why, so don't move.

Any other time we hear that record, it's too depressing. I hope she don't do that at the Super Bowl. I'm sure she won't do that. Man, please don't do lift me up at the Super Bowl. Lift me up puts me down. Well, don't worry. Your team won't be there, so you ain't got to worry about it.

Shut up. Don't start that. There's only four people that can talk right now, and that's Bengals fans, 49ers fans, Eagles fans, Chiefs fans, Chiefs fans, and Eagles. Everybody else, shut up, including you Giants fans. Shut the F up forever. Knock it off.

And you shut up too. Well, the 49ers beat the Cowboys last night 19-12. And the Eagles beat the Giants 103-7. Doesn't matter. Loss is a loss. Doesn't matter how much you lose by. Nobody says, well, we almost won. No, you lost.

We lost 38-7. That was the score. I don't care either way, though. I told y'all I had no expectations. 27-20. So the Eagles will be taking on the 49ers and the Chiefs will be taking on the Bengals.

I'm not delusional about my Cowboys. On Friday, you was in here, oh, the Giants gonna spank the Eagles. The Giants gonna bust the Eagles. I'm like, bro, what are you talking about? I gotta have hope. No, you don't. Yes, you don't you can't do reality you can root i root for my team but i deal with reality as well i know who we are well you remember uh i think about a week ago two weeks ago we were talking about the six-year-old boy in virginia that shot uh his teacher well now they're saying that they actually had a lot of signs that this kid was, you know, unstable and should be getting some help.

So the teacher warned the boy that warned and said that the boy said this to the teacher, that he wanted to light a teacher's body on fire and then watch her die. So they knew this before the young man, before the boy pulled a gun out on a teacher. And also they had actual tips that the boy had a six year old gun that day in school. So they're trying to, you know, file, you know, figure out, you know, what went wrong. How come none of this stuff was reported? How come they couldn't find out any of this stuff until after the incident actually took place? Yeah, I don't believe that they knew that that little boy had a gun in school. Like there's no way there was a report of a six year old having a gun in school and nothing was done.

And even when you say, you know, there were signs, you still don't expect a six year old to come to the school busing. You know, I mean, like you could say that signs and he might be disturbed and he may be in need of some, you know, some type of psychiatric help. But you don't you still don't expect him to come to the school busing at six years old? I mean, if the six year old says he wants to light a teacher's body on fire and watch the body burn until they die, that student should get help immediately. Yeah, psychiatric help, 100%.

I agree with that 100%, but you still, I don't think nobody's thinking this six year old is going to come to school and start shooting. I've never heard this before. To me, this is the new precedent. Now, they're also saying the superintendent, George Parker, said the school had received a tip that the boy had a gun that day, but then failed to uncover the weapon after searching his school bag.

So I guess they actually looked, but I guess he hid it. So where did he have the gun at? Six-year-olds don't have lockers, do they? I don't think so, no. Where the hell could a six-year-old hide a gun? What the hell is don't have lockers, do they? I don't think so. No. Where the hell could a six year old hide a gun? And what the hell is going on in this country, man, in this world? Well, now they're saying your tax refund will be a lot smaller this year. Now, here are the reasons why they're saying it's going to be smaller refunds because of shrunken tax credits and deductions.

And they said also because inflation, higher debt loads are biting into budget. So people will not be getting those huge checks as they usually did, which is insane. And lastly, Joe Biden. Joe Biden talks about some more documents, classified documents that they found. We found a handful of documents were failed or filed in the wrong place. We immediately turned them over to the archives of the Justice Department. We're fully cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're going to find there's nothing there. I have no regrets. I'm following what the

lawyers have told me. They want exactly what we're doing. There's no there there. Thank you. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that was after the first set of documents were found, right? That audio. No, that should have been the new documents that they just found. I don't think that was the new document. They found documents three more times since then. They found more classified documents this weekend after the FBI searched his Delaware home. Was that after this weekend?

That should have been after this weekend, which is crazy to me regardless. All these different places they're finding documents and it's, that's light work. There's no problem with this. That's the thing that bothers me the most about this

is how the liberal media and liberal personalities are reacting to this. When it was Trump and classified documents, they literally were acting like the sky is falling. Now when it's Biden,

they're acting like, oh, well, my bad. And this is why you should never take folks like that seriously. And you should also remember how inconsistent people are in times like this because you realize they don't care about truth they care about their party and you can't trust people like that if you're a liberal who can't call bs on democrats when they do something wrong then your voice can't be trusted now are they mad about the documents are they mad that you know

Trump didn't uh speak to the FBI about the documents or are they mad that, you know, Trump didn't speak to the FBI about the documents? Because I would assume that they would be mad that classified information is not where it's supposed to be. That's what they should be mad about. Right. Well, once again, if you go back and you remember when the stuff first happened with Trump, it was all about the documents, the documents, the documents, the documents. Now they're saying that, you know, it's about the obstruction. They're saying that's the difference between Trump and Biden. The obstruction is because Biden cooperated with returning documents. Well, let me ask you all a simple question. If Biden cooperated and just, you know, turned the documents over, how come y'all keep finding documents? That excuse, that reasoning, it worked the first time.

But after three more times, that don't work anymore. How come y'all keep finding documents of him and his team are just turning them over? And these are documents that go back to his time when he was in the Senate. Everybody just knock off the hypocrisy. I just hope y'all can tell the difference between how liberal media covers stuff on the other side. How they cover Trump being caught with classified documents and how they cover Biden. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

That is your Front Page News. When we come back, Sherri Shepard will be joining us. Of course, she has the Sherri show that you can catch each and every day depending on what market you're in on different times, but you can check her out. Of course, the comedian, she's been on The View, so a host of others, but she's going to be joining us next,

so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. All the stuff that I do is what Barbara Walters used to do. I didn't appreciate her

until having my own show. She would go to all of the affiliates. Every week, I go visit affiliates. I hold babies. I kiss babies. I smile at, you know, I laugh at jokes that I go, okay, I guess you didn't tell that joke 12 years to everybody.

You know, and so it's a lot of stuff that I'm doing. It's meetings nonstop. And I'm not used to that, of being that part of because you get the glory and you also get it if it don't go. So it's like rising up to that occasion but it's good well first of all how are you because he's so rude how are you doing i'm a little for clint right now because i'm so i try to get it together because i ran into angela uh and tiffany cross in his angela's name angela rye yes oh. Oh, my gosh. Angela Rye. I'm so, like, embarrassed. I can't even.

So I'm trying to get my groove back. Oh, man. This is a woman, like, I am such a fan of Angela Rye. I love Tiffany Cross. They tell it like it is. Like, I'm, like, super fan. And as soon as they walked past me, I walked out the door and I said to Angela Rye, Hey, April! Oh, my gosh Angela my god what April did you think

she was I just in my head I was just thinking about it and I got facial blindness anyway I'm horrible with names I have facial blindness which is called prosopagnosia so like when I look at your face, Envy, it's just the face. It's the nose, it's the lips. There's no distinguishing features. I did not just get a nose job. Don't say that. She'll believe you. I sure will.

That's how I'm going to remember Envy. Oh, Envy with the nose job. Why you always doing that? Oh, you know Envy with the nose job? That's exactly what I'm calling it. I didn't get a nose job. I have polyps in my nose. They removed the polyps

so I could breathe better and stop snoring. That's too much to try to remember. Just to remember En. I didn't get a nose job. I had polyps in my nose. They removed the polyps so I could breathe better and stop snoring. That's too much to try to remember. Just to remember. Envy with the nose job. Envy with the polyps in his nose. He had to get the polyps remembered. It didn't even take too long. You're going to be gone by the time I say hi.

That's right. Envy with the nose job. Yes, it works. Envy with the nose job. See how quick that is? Hey! See, he's doing that because he loves you so much. I doubt that did you feel like uh wendy's shoes were too big to fill

well i think so i think her i think she we didn't even wear the same size shoes so i'll have to say yes i think i'm answering it in a practical way. Yeah. I would say that. Yes. Jesus. Were you afraid of that in any way? Afraid of the...

The shoe size? No. I'm talking about literally. I'm not talking about literally. I'm talking about theoretically. We know. That's so crazy. Because I think you start getting afraid when you start comparing yourself to other people.

And you can't... That's when you get into trouble. You can't compare yourself to other people and you can't, that's where you get into trouble. You can't compare yourself to other people. Otherwise I would have been terrified when I had to take over Star Jones's place on The View. And the one thing that I loved is Star Jones called me. I was working on 30 Rock at the time. And she called me to congratulate me.

And she says, don't try to fill my shoes because you will never fill my shoes. And she said, you have to go in with your own experience, your own eyes and make these your memories. And she said, so I'm not going to tell you about who to watch out for. You have to go in and get the lay of the land. And I appreciated that. So me doing what I do, I am a stand up comic.

I have I know what God called me to do. I have a faith. I'm really about a lot of positivity. So I knew that's what I do. If I base my career off trying to compare myself to other people, I still be struggling. Got you. Did you speak to Wendy? Did you get a chance to talk to Wendy when that situation?

No, I didn't get a chance to talk to you. I didn't get a chance to talk to you, Charlamagne. I didn't get a chance to talk to my auntie Jaquicia. No. So there were certain people that I got a chance to talk to you Charlamagne I didn't get a chance to talk to my auntie Jaquicia so there were certain people that I got a chance to talk to it was Oprah Winfrey Whoopi was in Italy so I didn't get to talk to Whoopi she called me back it was

Robin Roberts Ellen I didn't get a chance nobody you know people don't be having celebrities phone numbers so they won't give it to you so I didn't get to talk to Ellen so it's very few people that i got to talk to i love the way you handled it though i guess i mean i think a statement came out when wendy said she wasn't happy with it she wouldn't be watching the show or something and i love the way you handled it just you know i mean i again i'm not doing it for anybody i know what my assignment is so if

somebody and everybody has free choice it's like if you want if you want to watch me watch and see what i can bring if you don't the beauty of it is there's tamron hall there's jennifer hudson if you want a sister there are we there are more than one there is more than one black woman did you always wanted a talk show was that something that was on your checklist like Like, this is what I want. Yeah. Yeah. It was just, I didn't realize it was a talk show that I wanted when I was a little girl and was putting like a paper towel in front of every, in front of my dolls.

I just like to talk and I love knowing about people. But, um, it started as I got, as I was doing standup, I was like, I'd like, I'd like a talk show because I was looking at standup comics who did. And stand-ups are really great at doing talk shows. They're great at being guests on a talk show. And so I realized that's what I wanted. And my first pilot was in 2004. And it went nowhere. I did it on the Regis and Kelly set.

And it just went nowhere because I didn't know who I was. I just wanted to make people laugh. So if you told me to do anything, I would do it. Was that after The View or before? That was before the view okay that was way before the view I did the view I didn't start the view to 2007 okay and I was devastated because I'd done it on Regents and Kelly and I knew I was funny and I remember the executives walked in and they was like give us what you give on stage that that thing you do and I was like what do I my voice was I was like what do I do because I'll do it and they're like you know that thing and I was like, what do I do? Because I'll do it. And they're like, you know that thing. And I was like, I don't know. And I was like, Lord Jesus.

And I was praying, but I wasn't ready. I hadn't matured into the dream. And so had he given it to me, it would have fizzled so fast. Because I didn't know who I was. I'd have sat in front of people going, what am I supposed to say? Now when I sit in front of an audience, I know exactly who I am. I know exactly what I'm delivering. I know exactly what my mission is. I know exactly when some people go, can I come on your show? No, I know exactly who I am. I know exactly what I'm delivering. I know exactly what my mission is.

I know exactly when some people go, can I come on your show? No, that's not what I do. You would be, a celebrity came and he was like, I want to talk about something that happened in my life that's very serious.

You probably would be better served with Tamron sitting there because she's a journalist. So you tell people that? I absolutely do. You would be better served over here because, you know, like the thing I love about Tamron is because she's a journalist,

she's going to dig places that I'm not going to go. I'm going to ask you, do you know how to play spades? Because I know my audience is coming. They want to feel good. They want laughter. So I'm not going to go to those places. And I'm at that place where I can go, no, that doesn't work for me. All right, we got more with Sherri Shepherd.

When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast me. All right, we got more with Sherri Shepherd. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Still kicking it with Sherri Shepherd. Charlamagne? Have you taken a step back and, like, took a deep breath and just reflected on your journey? Like, all of that. Like, you know, you talk about 2004.

The show didn't go in the way when you did that. And then, you know, The View. And then, you know, you got to let go from The View. But then, you know, all these years later, you know, you get a chance to fill in. And now, from the fill fill in to having your own show have you processed all that? You know it's so funny Charlamagne because I see now looking back

sometimes God don't show you how it's supposed to work out you just gotta even going through it trust that it's all that scripture everything works together for your good I did not realize that doing the view would be so instrumental in me

understanding how to do my show. Like, I don't get caught up in social media and comments, because at the end of the day, I still got to pay Jeffrey's therapist, his school, and I realize, if y'all just want to talk about the fact

I ain't got no damn hips, and you ain't cute, and you just stole this, that doesn't serve me. And that's from being on The View. Because every time somebody got on me, I was going to Barbara and Bill Getty saying, can I just get on the air and clarify and apologize? And Barbara goes, for God's sake, if we apologize for everything, this show would be called The Apology. And it's not.

You want to apologize, go somewhere else and do it. And that's where I learned, bitch, you better be tough. You can't be letting everything affect you. It's not. You want to apologize, go somewhere else and do it. And that's where I learned, bitch, you better be tough. That's right. You can't be letting everything affect you. So that was a learning ground doing Dish Nation. It was a learning ground because I learned to. I'm in a studio by myself. So I have to learn to talk to that prompter like I'm right in the room with other people.

That serves me when I'm sitting on that chair because I can't see the audience. The camera's right in front of me. So, yes, now I see how all these little things. Doing stand-up, I have to stand on stage and headline for 90 minutes and keep you entertained. And somebody might heckle, damn, your tits is big. I got to think of something.

Quick, I don't have 30 minutes. Man, please isolate that. Just isolate that. That part right there. No, this is where everyone say isolate that damn you got some big ass okay I'm talking about being married and divorced but I gotta stop and I have to handle you that serves me well

sitting on a couch and it serves me well when people are wearing a mask I can't see if you laughing or not but I have to know that I know walking out there, they'll say, are you funny? You've been prepared for this. So yes, now I see where all these little things that I had to do, even when I bombed, you know, and D.O. Hughley told me,

get back on stage, you got to get back. So when things don't work, segments that I want to try, and they may not work, I go, okay, failure ain't no big deal. Let's get back up and try something else. Do you remember your worst show as a comedian? And I ask all comedians that. Do you remember your worst show? Oh my gosh.

It was Mark Curry's manager. I don't remember his manager's name. He and Jamie had the same manager. Some King, Marcus King. They used to have a comedy show contest in Oakland, California. And me and my girlfriend, she's now a big publicist at ABC Freeform because she didn't stay in the game. We pretty much hitched a ride because this ain't for the week.

Stand up comedy. We hitched a ride. Don't do this, girls, if you hear me. But we hitched a ride all the way to Oakland, California, LA, LA. We hitched because we didn't have no money. We were struggling. And we went and did this contest because the Def Jam people were there Stan Latham everybody was there watching these comments

the comics and I had worked on my uh act and the first round knocked out the first freaking round because they put me last I had to follow all the dirty comics and I was clean I even cursed who else was on there do you remember oh my gosh it was Lester Berry it was D.L. Hughley did Jamie go up might have been Jamie because because yeah it probably was jamie because he didn't have nothing in except pimples on his face he didn't have nothing um it was it was yvette brown she used to play indel on moesha she and um oh my gosh cat wasn't out then we didn't know him uh might have been was jb there i know mark Curry was there it's all the ones that you see now that are and then there's a lot of them that you don't see all of the Oakland comics were there and

I they put me it was 24 comics I was 23 so me coming out going hey everybody how you doing they was like boo bitch get out the state and then all the comics when you bomb they don't want to be around you they don't even want to talk to you. It's like you got some kind of disease. And I cried and I didn't have no money to get home. And we had to hitch back. And then it was just horrible. And my girlfriend made it the next round. She made it the next round.

And I was like, well, are you going to come back? She's like, no, I made it. So I had to go back home by myself. So what made you continue on? Because at that point, most people would have been like, you know what? Maybe comedy is not for me. It was all I had. It was home by myself. So what made you continue on? Because at that point, most people would have been like, you know what? Maybe comedy is not for me. It was all I had. It was like I was a legal secretary.

My mom had diabetes and she was not taking care of herself. So she was sick. I had a sister that was on drugs. My home was just my ex-boyfriend. He had gone to prison. He was writing letters all the time. He was going to kill me. I mean, it was like.

What the hell kind of Lifetime movie was you living? I really do need a Lifetime movie. And I time he was going to kill me what the hell kind of lifetime movie was you living I really do need a lifetime movie and I want Tiana Taylor to play me but no no it was all I had to be able to get on stage in the darkest times and half the time I didn't have a place to live

staying on people's couches that was the only time I felt like somebody or just know just being on stage you know and i could make people laugh at the stuff that i was going through so i i got the journal from when i was on stage it has tears dried up on the on the um the the notebook so that's why i got on stage i got a two-part question because this is about both of your careers when you did stand up in that moment and you said you was number 24 and everybody before you was dirty that was an era where you had to be like shocking right like you had to have like some edge to you just exactly how

did you keep yourself from being that because i couldn't be that okay like i like if you sheryl underwood was on there and if you've ever seen sheryl stage, like Sheryl and turned out, she's still Joe Torrey. Joe Torrey was on the thing. You following Joe Torrey? Oh, my gosh. So was TK doing it? I'm not sure. You following T to the fucking K?

I'm from the Valley. So I'm talking like this. My voice is so high. How you guys doing? I couldn't be. I tried to go up on stage one time at the Birdland West in Long Beach. And I tried. Scruncho was up at the.

Now more names are coming to me. But I tried to be Cheryl. But it's not authentic. And I remember going up on stage. And I tried to do. I had this heckler line prepared. If they said something, I was going to be like, I'll stab you. I'll stab.

And I tried. And they was laughing. Because it don't hardly look. Cheryl looked like I'll stab you I'll stab and I tried and they was laughing because then it don't hardly look sure look like she could stab you Sherry Shepard no sir so it didn't work me trying to be somebody who I wasn't and I learned to uh just you know DL said you got to get back up on the stage Jamie was very encouraging Yvette everybody and I just realized it's just, you gotta keep getting back up. You gotta keep showing up and you eventually get better.

If you keep doing it, you get better. So you have to, you gotta bomb. You gotta fail. Otherwise you really don't appreciate it when you get on stage. Now I can get on stage. It don't, you know, Heckler, you're not scaring me because you're not making the money I'm making. You probably want to do

what I'm doing right now, but you're scared. So you're going to scream it on stage where it's dark. But if I put a microphone in front of your face, you ain't really got too much to say.

And everybody in this room came to see me and they really want you gone. So when I come in and I got their confidence. They know. And what was the big thing? Do what you can do.

So the second part of that is, I guess you applied that to the view as well, because Barbara Walters is the bar. I was a messenger in the view. Really? I wasn't confident at all. Okay, because Barbara was ratchet.

You know what I mean? I loved it. I loved the way she used to ask questions. Did you feel like you had to be that when you were on the view? Yeah. I felt like I had to. I got on this show, Charlamagne. And Eddie Murphy was the one that told me.

I was doing a movie called Who's Your Caddy with Big Boy, like, I got on this show, Charlamagne. Eddie Murphy was the one that told me. I was doing a show. I was doing a movie called Who's Your Caddy with Big Boy. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, I'm talking in tongues with Terry Crews. I'm just trying to make people laugh. And they called me to guest host. And I guest hosted, and they liked me. And then Star was like, when I go on the road, I want Sherri to fill in for me.

I was terrified to meet Star. I probably called her by the wrong name. What's up, Stacey? Stacey. Because she was a big lawyer and then joy said i like sherry when i go on the road and do kids call so he kept calling me but i never wanted to do that show because i knew they were talking about politics and debating i i was a jehovah's witness i didn't do no debating i didn't talk back to people who were older than me and And everybody kept saying, do it because it's going to change your life. My best friend, John Murray, who was my EP on my show.

He said, Sherry, doing The View will change your life. And I promise you. And I did it reluctantly. And here the first week I said, I don't know if the earth was round or flat. Step right in. And I did. And by the way, I do know that the earth is round i was so nervous when i get nervous i can't remember names i get you know i don't even hear them ask me the question

you was ahead of your time there's more flat earth is now now they're all coming about the woodworks everybody who said earth is flat um but and then to sit next to this woman who was just like she don't smile she don't you know then i'm next to Whoopi who's looking at me like, bitch, you don't know nothing. You know, I'm just like, so it was very, it was very hard for me. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Sherri Shepherd when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.

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,

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to

better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things

that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to 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. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Sherri Shepherd. Charlamagne? How did you find yourself on that show? Because, you know, Barbara would ask anything, right?

Yeah. And Whoopi is already established. And that was the year we started doing a lot of politics because that's the year Obama was running, and it was a lot of race stuff coming up and I had to learn. It was a lot of failures. It was a lot of falls.

I don't like calling failures. It was a lot of falls on The View. And I had to sit and look at Bill Maher saying they could do something with this stupid stick. To me, Bill O'Reilly called me a pinhead. You gave me donkey of the day. Like, this was everything. Howard Stern.

Probably the flat earth thing. I don't remember. I don't remember't remember what you gave it no you said i don't have no butt or something it was a tasmanian devil i remember a different person back then i know but now you're now you've evolved now you have therapy in your life and you're you're the god that we all serve you're respectful you love people's energy. You do. Like, now you're changed. You've evolved. You wasn't all that when you gave me donkey in a day and talked about it. And I was listening to you.

I was like, Dad! Oh, I remember that because you said your son used to listen to the show. Yeah, me and my son listened to the show. He was like, Mommy, why Charlotte May don't like you? I was like, I don't know. No, I didn't say I didn't like you now. Well, when you give somebody donkey today, Charlotte Mays, when you're on the other side of that, Stephen A. Smith,

when you're on the other side of that, you think people don't like you. But it is all of that. That's how I learned Sherry. You can't take in everybody else's energy. That doesn't serve you. I know that. So I'm going to pay attention to social media.

I wish I could let these young people know. Get beyond social media and clapping back and you arguing with this one. It don't serve you. It is a waste of energy. But I didn't know that then. But I learned. I learned from a woman going, this ain't the damn apology show. Go out there, stand by what you said, and we're going to keep it moving.

Because basically, once the next news cycle comes, they're going stand by what you said and we're gonna keep it moving because basically once the next news cycle comes they're gonna forget what you said no that's i want to ask you about that because that's a good point right but thank you for coming too but after he gave me donkey he's on the intro to the show actually you apologized you was like no you not then you said you. So the evolution, I could see it happening even then. Now, you mentioned Stephen A. Smith. He was on your show last week. Oh, he stepped in.

You ruined his book release week. Oh, my gosh. I was trying to let him know on the couch. He had a conversation about Super Bowl. Oh, my gosh. And then he went, jumped out the window, and just said out of nowhere. For no reason. Rihanna is no.

Oh, my gosh. Rihanna is no oh my god why you know but the thing about it is like i feel like steven a a lot of people i had this thing that's what he does that's what he gets paid for but there's a way that men be talking you know y'all talk you can get brutal but when you go in front of a audience full of black women it's a day and time we tired of being compared to the next black woman we tell black women are feeling like don't nobody protect us like you it's a lot of triggers and you and i feel like somebody on his team should have been briefing him going this is a female talk show steven a this ain't because on his show i'm sure they tell the women if y'all want to play on our

field you got to take you you got to be able to play like a man. But I wish somebody would have said, you're coming on an all-female show. They love Sherri. These are women. So you got to course correct a little bit. And I don't think so. And I think it threw him. Because he got that swag.

He sat back and did his tie. And I was like, oh, you in trouble. And you coming on with the swag. Because they was loving Steven. They were loving him. And he did everything he did. He does it on his show. But she ain't no Beyonce.

Let it sit. He does that. That crowd was not feeling that. That crowd was not. And he wasn't reading the room. Like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm going to give her this. and I'm going to give her that.

You know, and I'm looking at him going, I just wanted to use the N-word right on the air. Going, boy, you are stepping in it. And this ain't going, and it ain't going loud, just my show. You may be thinking it's the Lil Sherry show. This suck about to get out. I tried. I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We trying to trying he wasn't going with me

I see you trying no we're not comparing you know there was no comparison like what was the point it wasn't even a discussion I think you know because this is what Steven does he just you know he causes he does controversy and he it's in

his DNA to go, yeah, but. And this is how people talk. That's true. You know, when you with your friends, you tell who's better. I loved it when Katy Perry came on and Missy Elliott stole it. You know, we have those discussions, but you got to know how to read your room. Well, Katy and Missy are different because we, yes, we want. Yeah, like I'm not paying no attention to Katy.

Yeah, I and Missy are different because we, yes, we want. Yeah, like I'm not paying no attention to Katie. Yeah, I want Missy. I'm just saying, I'm just saying the feeling I got when Missy exploded on that stage is why I watched set through Katy Perry's set. It was Missy Elliott. So there's a way that you talk. There's things that I will not say on my show that I, because I know that's not my audience. And I learned that from the view. John had to comment. It was one time I was defending Sarah Palin with everything I had.

I was up because she had a special needs child. So I was like, this is a woman with a special needs child. And John was like, black people hate you. Stop it. It's certain things. There's your inside voice. There's your. So I will never be that person who says everything that's on my mind.

But why can't we have nuance? I understand what John's saying, but you should be able to say say hey i can uh relate because she has a special needs child but also i don't i may not like her politics why can't i wasn't articulate like that at that time i am now yeah like you because we had a whole discussion backstage of because i do feel like i don't like that so many people jumped on steven because it was an opinion he loves both women he really does love both women he just he just felt you you gotta you gotta come up to where beyonce is re re re knows that she she got that competition within herself um he just didn't read the room and i felt i came in and i said i want to say this is something fair to steven a smith he should have been blah blah blah and

john said you have to you have to do are you falling on the sword with Steven because this is what you're gonna get the backlash there's a way you can articulate this Sherry because we got to remember the theme of the show is you're being funny you're light so you can't come on you know wagging your finger people because what I don't like is that nobody is allowed to have an opinion that say anything without people going, take him off the air and canceling. So we we worked it through. It took us about 25 minutes. We worked it through of, OK, well, I could put a joke in here. I could do OK. It's the beehive in the Navy.

You know, I could say this so that it's palatable for everybody. And I still said the same thing. And I still put in my message of I don't like us being at a place where we can't say our opinion. So that's what I know how to do that now that now well they apologize in the parking lot right because he apologized in the car because i think it was a shell shock too you know because you you know you don't and also you just don't realize how big this the people in today we get triggered and that affects your and that's why i said please go buy his book because he does say some really great things in his book about you know about his relation with his father his mother how instrument and I still have women going I don't give because the sisters didn't teach him nothing and his mama didn't I

mean I have friends who are really angry and he didn't say what right if you say if y'all have a discussion about live performers and you say Rihanna not a better live performer than Beyonce but all you said was was, Rihanna ain't no Beyonce. What does that even mean? I think it's just him saying, you know your uncle at Thanksgiving, no matter what you say, your uncle like, yeah, but you know, he ain't gonna have, the way he run. And I think

and also I think that Steve and A. Smith didn't realize, we black women, we are just feeling like we're not protected. You know, it's not like you have to with on first take, you are brutally taking down 30 NFL teams. You got a lot of comparison. Well, black women at this level performing at the Super Bowl, it's three of them. One got in trouble.

Her nipple got shown. She got thrown under the bus and her career was gone for a minute. Janet Jackson. You got Beyonce. You got Rihanna. You just haven't, like, it's not a lot. shown she got thrown under the bus and and her career was gone for a minute janet jackson you got beyonce you got rihanna you just haven't like it's not a lot we there's not a lot of us so to be trying to it does look like you're pitting us against and that's why i think you have to have women on your team sometimes to go let me come in here tell you something so i don't think that went through black women it was it was black women. And they turned quick.

Oh, my gosh. And then you also, you got the beehive. It's a bunch of 14-year-olds coming after you. Now you arguing with 14-year-olds. And you don't realize the power of 14-year-olds putting memes all over. You can't even get to the good comments because them 14-year-olds ain't got nothing to do. I don't argue with the beehive. I don't even say these.

Nikki, Riri, Beyonce, Lil' Kim. The Nikki's is different. Nikki's is different. The Barbz? You don't want no smoke with the Barbz. They said to me when I was filling in, and I think I said one thing. It wasn't even nothing bad. And somebody put on a post.

They said, don't even go there because we'll take you down. It was like the mafia had spoken to me. showed john i was like they come they coming and i was like oh my gosh this egg on these barbs well check out the sherry show we're nominated for naacp image award for Sherry and one for my podcast, Too Funny Mamas with Kim Willey.

You see how long that take? Exactly. It's The Breakfast Club. You had the polyps and you had to clear the polyps out. You see how long it take. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. Rumor has it. Rumor has it.

Call out her name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. Now, Beyonce, when you talk about great, when you talk about a performer,

when you talk about an artist that gets busy, Jesus Christ. Now, Beyonce hasn't performed in four years, but she performed during the grand reveal of Atlantis the Royale, which is a new luxury resort in Dubai. So many people were there. Of course, Jay-Z, Chloe Hawley. see kendall jenner i see chloe holly what i say chloe holly chloe and holly what did i say

you said it like it's one person chloe and holly that's what i said uh nia long terrence jay was there uh beyonce performed and she killed it. Beautiful performance. She was accompanied by... You still didn't get to the good part. What? What's the good part? Tell them how much she got paid. I'm about to.

For one hour. She was accompanied by a 48-person all-female orchestra. She also had a Lebanese dance troupe. She got paid $24 million for a one-hour performance. Oh, that mercy. You should have led with that. All that other stuff, I could care less about. And this was her singing.

$24 million for one hour. The reason they played that part is because when she started singing that part, she stood on a riser. Huh? Because people was drinking? No, she stood on a riser it's like a riser that looked like it was maybe five by five by five they locked it in and the riser went up in the air maybe about 60 70 80 feet up in the air and she was singing as the fireworks were going and the

water show was going and she was just clicked onto this one little thing and she was blowing it looked amazing she was singing her ass off. I wonder did she get paid all $24 million up front or did they do half and then half when she got there? What do you think? Is that all in or does that include travel

and everything else? I'm sure that's all in. $24 million all in. She has to take care of her set and everything. I'm sure she didn't pocket the whole thing. She had to pay for transportation,

her set, because her set was amazing. It wasn't like it was just... You think she paid for her set? No way. You don't think that's part of the $24 million? I'm going to give you $24 million and I got to pay for your set? With the fireworks and the water and all that?

I don't think that's all in, bro. I think that's $24 million for your pocket. I think they pay for the set and everything else and they pay for travel. And they probably gave her a block of rooms to give away for free to people. $ 24 million plus that means that's 30 million because that's it was about two three million you know what let's act

all wage let's stop mining let's stop mining rich people yeah absolutely right you're absolutely right well congratulations to beyonce she killed it she absolutely positively destroyed it so shout to her now they asked people who are going to put their phones away obviously nobody put their phones away because there was so much footage and videos uh circulating on the internet so which was great for us because we got to see beyonce perform now shine seems like he's doing a deal with walt disney rock nation and dj caled about his life i am very pleased very grateful that i was able to close a deal with Walt Disney and their subsidiaries, ESPN and Anscape, to produce my bio documentary, bio motion picture and bio TV series as well as my memoir and that will um the documentary will be executive produced by dj khaled and rock nation stay tuned we will begin production here in belize in the spring and uh we look uh for a 24 2024 summer release okay well that's

amazing what disney must uh disney must be doing more edgier content now because that don't sound like his story don't sound like a walt disney story to me no well he is the prime minister of belize but for people that don't know of course he was out the night when Diddy and uh Jennifer Lopez was in that uh club and gunshots were fired and three people were injured and they believe Sean was one of the shooters he was uh arrested for it he had to do jail time and then he was deported to Belize he changed his life around and now he is the prime minister of Belize oh yeah it's an amazing story of growth and evolution uh one of the the best stories of growth and evolution in hip-hop i just don't see uh disney doing that yeah isn't it disney's usually you know that's the home of mickey mouse right they try to hold they try to put out that pg content right and lastly just quickly it says tick tock confirms that its own employees can decide what goes viral they're saying that the us

employees have the ability to boost videos in order to introduce celebrities and emerging creators to the TikTok community. So it's almost like having a heating button where they can, you know, whatever's hot or dope, they can make hot or dope. I didn't know that. So does that mean the employees can decide? No, I didn't. Come on.

You had to know that. I'm not saying that there's plenty of content that organically, you know, takes off on all of these platforms. But yes, there's people at these platforms that help push a lot of this content through. Come on. It's just like radio, bro. We know radio. It's just like radio and TV programming.

You know this. So it's paid. So if you have an audience, you can pay somebody at TikTok to make your thing go viral? We've been hearing about this. We've been hearing about people doing these campaigns on these social media platforms, whether it's the TikToks or the, who else did we hear that on? YouTube. We've been hearing about this kind of stuff.

Why are we acting like this? It's not a surprise. No. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, who are you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour, man. Let's talk about people who don't want to hold themselves accountable.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, I'm Charlemagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. But like a donkey, he home. Donkey of the day. The practice club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Donkey of the Day for Monday, January 23rd goes to Daniela Leis.

She's 26 years old and she's a Canadian woman who in 2019 was convicted of impaired driving that led to a massive explosion in London. Y'all might have forgot or never heard of Daniela, but she pled guilty to four counts of impaired driving and she was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021. Can I refresh your memory? Let's go to CTV News for the report, please. 22-year-old Daniela Lees faces a dozen charges connected to the blast that rocked the Old East Village mid-August. Lees faces charges including impaired operation over 80 milligrams causing bodily harm and four counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On August 14th, emergency crews responded to the Woodman Avenue address for a collision. Once on scene, responders noticed the smell of gas and within minutes the house exploded.

Police believe the vehicle hit a gas line when it collided with the home. Now roughly 100 homes had to be evacuated and seven people were injured, including multiple first responders. Jesus Christ. Well, you know we live in a world where nobody holds themselves accountable for nothing. Okay, nothing is never the fault of the person.

All right, blame always has to go to someone else. So Daniela is blaming someone else for this. She's actually filing a lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services, alleging that the company shares some of the liability for civil lawsuits filed by the victims of the blast because they served her alcohol. Yeah, she's blaming it on the alcohol. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to CTV News for the report, please. The kitchener woman behind the wheel in an

impaired driving crash that destroyed and damaged several homes in London is suing the company that served her at Budweiser Gardens that night. Daniela Lees is facing a number of civil lawsuits in relation to the August 2019 crash and says ovations Ontario Food Services should share liability. Now, CTV's Krista Simpson is joining us now with more on this story. Krista, before the crash, Lise was at a concert. Ricardo, the statement of claim says, among other things, the company served her alcohol, didn't monitor how much she was drinking, let her drink more than she should have, and ejected her from the venue without making sure she was not going to drive impaired. In October 2020, Lee's pleaded

guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, ultimately being sentenced to three years in prison. Lee's lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services says the crash would not have happened if the company had not been negligent. You know, I came up in an era when drinking and driving was a choice. OK, you can drink or you can drive. You can drive or you can drink, but you cannot do both. OK, we had so many reminders not to drink and drive. You know, South Carolina had the highways and highways commercials. I don't know if they were national. I think they might have been national. Virginia had to drive sober or get pulled over.

Those might have been national, too. I don't remember. But remember the buzz driving is drunk driving campaigns. I know Texas had the faces of drunk driving ads. I mean, don't drink and drive was literally drilled into our brains since day one. Okay, not to mention this happened in 2019. All right, the ride share revolution has been happening for a long time.

Okay, the Lyfts, the Ubers of the world, there was somebody you could have called, Daniela. Now, don't get me wrong. We know that some bars can be held liable when they know a person is intoxicated and they keep serving them. I don't know if this is one of those situations. OK, the lawsuit is saying that they knew she was intoxicated and did not train a supervised

staff serving alcohol and put profit above safety. I don't know if all that is true. I don't know if all that is proven. All I know is that in the drunk driving case the primary defendant is the drunk driver Okay, we live in a society where nobody wants to be held accountable for their actions. It's always somebody else's fault She's better off saying the devil made me do it Okay, if you're gonna blame somebody blame Satan Lucifer Beezle Bob Trump, whatever you call the devil She might as well have put the blame on that evil entity because all that is more believable and makes more sense but

at the end of the day we are all accountable for ourselves simple as that accountability breeds responsibility so whenever you see someone doing something as irresponsible as daniella did it's because she's probably a human who has never been held accountable for anything she's ever done in her life okay that three years in prison she's serving right now is accountable for anything she's ever done in her life. Okay, that three years in prison she's serving right now is the first time she's probably ever been held accountable for her actions. And of course, she doesn't want to take full responsibility. Well, kids, always remember, 99% of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. Safe to say, Daniela falls under that 99%.

Please let Remy Ma give Daniela Lise the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. All right. Well, thank you for the donkey of the day. Now, let's talk about you, Envy. What? What you mean?

How you feeling this morning? You know, you're in colonoscopy, colonoscopy prep right now. Yes. Yes, I am. Well, if you don't know, I'm getting my colonoscopy today. Now, that's where they, I guess, stick a camera up your butt and look for polyps or anything that shouldn't be there. And if they do find something, cut it out, take it out to make sure that you are okay uh they usually make you do it uh at age 40 and older if you have uh history in your family or 45 if you don't 45 and old it used to be it used to be 50 that do it but the age uh came down to 45 but if you have 40 40 some places it's 40 uh some doctors do 40 if you have history

yeah if you have a history of it that's why i if you have history Yeah if you have a history of it That's why I was able to get it early Because I'm 44 but I was able to get it early Because I have a history of it in my family I went and got mine over the holidays And I told you that the prep was going to be the hardest part Have you felt that thus far? Yes

Yes I have So for people that don't know This is Uncle talking right now And this is if you have a dad or uncle Or anybody in your life, people are usually scared to do this. And they're scared to do it because, one, they don't want people probing around it. And two, a lot of people are scared sometimes to hear the results. But we have to get it done earlier because if it's done early, they can treat it and they can make sure that they can cut all cancerous polyps or anything like that out so the prep is like this no i'll go say i promise you to everybody listening the prep is the worst part and envy is going to realize this after he gets somebody in

his butt today because you're not even going to remember nobody being in your butt they're going to hit you with that iv and they're going to tell you you're going to be out within seconds and you're not going to believe them and they're going to tell you when're going to be out within seconds and you're not going to believe them. And they're going to tell you when you wake up, it's going to be all over and it's really going to be all over. Yeah. So the prep is pretty much this. I'll break it down fast. For three days, you can't eat anything solid. So you can't eat no meat, no salad, nothing like that. You have to kind of keep it easy. The day before you have to take these pills, it's 12 pills. They feel like horse pills, big as hell. You got to swallow it with 16 ounces of water. And then for the next four hours, you're on that toilet.

I mean, you are pooping. The first couple of poops. Oh, no, it's bad. The first couple of poops is everything that's inside of you. But after that, you're just pooping water. I mean, straight water, water fountain. It don't even feel like diarrhea. It just feel like straight up and down.

It feels like a colonic. If you've ever had a colonic, it feels like a colonic if you've ever if you've ever if you've ever had a colonic it feels like a colonic like when that colonic is over and you go sit on that toilet and it's just number water coming out that's what uh you know it is but you know here's the thing you you got a lot of concerns like i've heard you you want you you care about who the doctor is you don't know who the doctor is no i know who the doctor is what do you mean i care about the doctor no because uh taylor came in and was talking about do you prefer a male doctor or a woman doctor it don't matter when you're trying to live that's what she was saying and i was saying i prefer a male doctor i have a male doctor and the reason i have a male doctor is not because i want a male doctor all up in my

butt but when it comes to uh talking to a doctor no because when you have a male doctor i prefer this is just me i prefer a doctor that has the same parts as me that i can explain things to so something hurts in my body in my butt that i have or my testicles or my whatever i can say hey it feels like this that's why i have a male doctor that's me y'all do know y'all know women get colonoscopies too right yeah but women don't have testicles well what does the testicle have to do with anything i'm just talking about the doctor that i have that's it i just want to shut up man anyway back to colonoscopy what does the test have to do with anything? I'm just talking about the doctor that I have. That's it. I just want to know, man. Anyway, back to colonoscopy.

What is the question? What is the question? What are we talking about this? Because people have a lot of concerns. You know what I'm saying? People that are going through this have a lot of concerns. And I want to encourage, you know, men to go out there and get colonoscopy. So I'm telling them that the prep is the worst part.

Right. Some people are concerned about who the doctor is. That's just silly to me. Of course, you're afraid they're going to find polyps or even worse, cancer. So we're hoping for that. And I told you you might wake up with an erection. Now that, it concerns me a lot.

I woke up with an erection. Big stiffy too. So a male doctor was playing in your butt and then you woke up with an erection? Whatever. I'm just telling you that it happened. What's the question? so it's not a question i want people to call in this morning and give you uh words of encouragement you know what i'm saying we're going to call this the colonoscopy prep hotline okay and i want people to call in and give you words of encouragement

and talk about you know their experiences what did they experience uh you know during their prep for a colonoscopy and after the colonoscopy was done. We want to alleviate some of your fears. All right. 800-585-1051. And I have a question. When you woke up and your penis was erect and you and the doctor were staring at each other's eyes, what was the first thing he said or you said to him?

Man, I wasn't even thinking about that. I was very aware that I had a stiffy, though. And I and i was like damn why can't it look like this more often did you look at him and say i love you like how like how did that anyway 800-585-1051 impressed actually like the whole seven inches the whole seven inches three-fourths was out stop man can i take some of this medicine home we're talking colonoscopies when we come back 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 talk about it morning everybody it's dj envyagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club

Now if you're just joining us, we're talking about colonoscopies And the reason is, is because I gotta go get mine today You gotta go get yours today, I got mine over the holidays, man So if you don't know, what they do is they pretty much stick a camera up your butt And make sure that you don't have any polyps or any cancerous things in your butt That can cause cancer and, you know, could kill you. So just all redness. So like Chadwick Boseman, of course, rest in peace. He died from colon cancer. Sharon Osbourne had colon cancer. Katie Couric had a colon cancer.

Our good brother, our good brother, Combat Jack. Combat Jack. That's why when you look at that mural, that mural that, you know, Justin Richburg did for us in our Breakfast Club studios. You know, you look at that mural, look at that. Like Chadwick Boseman is on there. Combat Jack is on there. You know, so these are people that we've just sat down with in the past, you know, six to seven years. And they're no longer here with us. They're no longer here with us. Yeah. Baseball great Darryl Strawberry. He had colon cancer. So the reason I'm doing it is because, you know, we can always set up our families, right? Make sure they eat good

financially. But those finances mean nothing if you can't be there with them. And for that, we have to go to the doctor. We have to make sure that we're okay. We have to make sure that we're checked with everything going on in this world. We should make sure that we're okay. So I know a lot of people are scared because they don't want a doctor all in their butt. I know a lot of people are

scared because they're scared of the results. I know a lot of people are scared because they might not want a doctor all in their butt. I know a lot of people are scared because they're scared of the results. I know a lot of people are scared because they might not have health insurance.

And him and the doctor after looking at each other eye to eye. That's what he did. That's right. I didn't say we were looking at eye to eye. Shut up. I ain't saying about no looking eye to eye.

All I said was that I woke up with an erection. So you tried to slip that in there. Pause. I hope somebody slipped something in you. Now, see, what if I wish that on you? What if I wish somebody slipped something in you? Huh? Goodness gracious.

Like, you already passed the hard part of getting it done today. But you had it easy because I had to drink to drink like jugs of this liquid that was disgusting and you only got pills yeah you know what that's the jugs all i had to do was pills too but i think women might have to do the jug because i was speaking to a couple of women that had to do it and they had to take the liquid but all of all the men that i know they took the pill yeah it's disgusting but i promise you like before they tell you you about to be out you out and you wondering when is it gonna start and it's over wow it's that fast not for me i had no i'll say when the doctor tells you that when you wake up it's over it's really just that fast

it's really that fast i couldn't believe that it was done but i didn't have no medical issues besides being told like honestly physically you are full of jesus jesus let me ask you a question mama this is gonna sound a little left right i asked charlamagne this the other day and charlamagne didn't you know answer me now do you manscape should i manscape before i I go in or just Harry-ass it all out? I would clean it up down here. Clean it up? Alright, clean it up. You want the doctor to go into something respectable

and presentable, right? You want the doctor to look at you and be like, that's a nice ass. Yes. You want him to be able to find it first. Correct. Alright, thank you, mama. Man, if y'all don't cut it out, the hair don't got nothing to do with it. It's all about your insides being clean. That's how they can make sure cut it out, the hair don't got nothing to do with it. It's all about your insides being clean. That's how they can make sure everything good in there.

It ain't got nothing to do with the hair. I don't want it to be a woolly mammoth, though. The doctor coming in like, whoa. Like, you know, it just. I don't know. You don't care about it being a woolly mammoth when gear back there, but when you put a doctor. All right, let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this?

What's up, Envy? Yeah, man, I had it done five years ago. And it's not bad, but what's funny on my part, when they gave me the anesthesia, it didn't put me to sleep. Right on, I guess, not fast enough. And I felt that doctor putting that lube on my butt. I said, say, man, what's going on with y'all? And that next thing, you know, it's just like Charlemagne said, you out. And I woke up.

Everybody was sitting there laughing. They never heard nobody say, you know, say, you know, don't be rubbing on my butt. But after that, hey, but check it out, though. After that, man, it's going after that man it's gonna be good you know you go you're gonna have a bunch of gas i don't know about having a hard on like charlamagne but you didn't have a hard on yeah but no no no but you're gonna have a bunch of gas man i mean bunch of gas you got a fork before you leave so okay that's a good thing all right thank

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.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change.

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to 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. Nimany 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. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. 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.

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

...your opinion to the breakfast club top come on 800-585-1051 morning everybody it's dj envy charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're explaining that today i have my colonoscopy and what that is is pretty much they shove a camera up your butt and look for polyps and things that uh is cancerous and they cut it out and try to treat it now treat it early before it spreads and goes too far and there's so many celebrities from Chadwick Boseman that passed away to Combat Jack that passed away to Sharon Osbourne and Daryl Strawberry and so many other people that have had colon cancer uh but they want you to check it early so if you have uncles your dad yourself you know get checked as early as you can because you want to be here as long as you can for your kids forget about the finances money is all good but you want

to be there to see your kids grow and go to your kids basketball games football games and all that stuff so yeah i'm not gonna i'm kind of nervous I had a lot of questions. I got mine done over the holidays, you know what I mean? And I had no polyps, no cancer, no redness. And I told Envy the hardest part is going to be the prep, you know, because once you get there, it's easy breezy, which is why I don't know why he put his appointment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That's just ridiculous.

My appointment was early in the morning. And literally when the doctor tells you, I'm going to put this IV in your arm. And when you wake up, it's going to be all over. It's going to be all over. And that's it. There's really no after effects. Maybe a little soreness in the booty hole once the drugs wear off. But other than that, you good.

All right. All right. Well, the reason I did is because I thought I was going to be able to come to work today. Yeah, you're an idiot. I'm about to say you're an a-hole. But number one, you can't say that on the radio. And number two, I'm going to be sensitive to your a-hole this morning because, you know, I know what your a-hole is about to go through. Oh, thanks.

Hello? Hello. Hey, what's your name? My name is John. John, talk to us, John. Hi, John. Oh, man, my colonoscopy, I had a blast. Literally.

Tell us about it. Oh, man, it actually wasn't that bad, except for the prep. The prep, you don't just have one laxative to clean you out. You got two of them. And then you have to take that with some Gatorade, and then it cleans you all out. You have a blast. But the thing itself is not that bad now let me ask you a question John how old are you John if you don't mind me asking 35 why'd you get it so early but I got some I got some I got some problems and I I had to get checked out so I would I would recommend anyone who is um having serious problems don't don't let

it don't let it sit and wait you gotta you gotta get that checked up that's right let me ask you a question at age 35 now it's a little personal did you manscape back there before the doctor went all in you or you just left it all hairy scary well not i don't need to manscape that much i'll give you a little tmi since you're asking oh but uh no even though it was a lady doctor i'm sure she liked what she saw okay john John, you're giving real bottom energy. You a bottom? Am I a bottom? Well, I mean, I'm not picky. Exactly.

My bad. Now, John, did you get a wreck? Solomon got a wrecked after his. Did you? No, I didn't. Basically, how it was, well, I take that back. I said the prep was the worst part. The IV was the worst part Because they got to knock you out for it

You're not awake for it And then it felt like a really nice nap And then I don't know I was floppy Thank you sir Remember man he's 35 But they did recently lower the minimum screening age

To 45 from 50. So it's so many people that are eligible to get screened right now that need to get screened. All right. Well, I got to make sure. And this is something like I said, I got it's not about money. It's not about finances. I just want to be there for my kids and whatever it takes, whatever I got to check, whether it's my heart, whether it's my lungs, whether it's my heart whether it's my lungs whether it's breathing that's why i did the thing with my nose that i can sleep better and and you know and not snore as much whatever it's got a nose job you got a nose job you want to be on tv more but i do want to salute um the colorectal cancer alliance you know i partnered with the colorectal cancer alliance you know on a couple of, you know, campaigns over the past couple of years, you know, to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around getting screened

for colon cancer. Because, you know, this is a preventable cancer. And if you catch it and treat it early, there's a 90% survival rate. Did you hear what I just said? It's a 90% survival rate if you catch it and treat it early so you know we owe it to our families and our community and and our culture to get screened and like i was saying all morning the recent lowering of the minimum screening age to 45 from 50 by the united states preventive services task force makes more black americans eligible to get screened. So go out there and get screened.

You owe it to yourself. You owe it to your family. That's how I feel. Absolutely. And I'll fill you guys in tomorrow. I'm going to be at work tomorrow. I can come to work tomorrow, right? They said I can come to work tomorrow.

You can come to work tomorrow. I just want to know if you get that big woody. Yo, shut up, man. All right. Rumors on the way. We got to talk about Chris Sean and Blueface. I don't like their relationship, but we'll talk about it more when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I don't gossiping. This is The Rumor Report.

I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club. So if you don't know who Chris Sean is,ishan is the young woman that's dating Blueface. She's the lady that she's missing a tooth. And they've been all over the internet, all over social media. Their relationship is very toxic.

But she announced a couple of days ago that she is having a baby. My emotions are crazy. They just took a blood pressure and stuff like that. a baby now blue face responded on Instagram of course or social media I should say to answer all your questions yes me and Krishan Rock are officially done it's strictly business I tried it and it clearly wasn't given uh it wasn't helping or doing anything with the relationship she's pregnant with somebody else's child so he's saying that the baby is not his well she responds to that and she talks about uh blue face actually being in the baby's life and if she needs him yeah i got a baby in the oven and i make my own money

but i don't want to abort a kid i've been aborting since i met this dude and i was aborting at first because we wasn't as serious and i didn't have all my money together but now that i make like over six figures i don't need you i could tell the kids that you died you feel me like we can say you don't exist. Like, I don't need a baby daddy. I don't need child support. I got God, my friends. You the type to hit me up tonight and f*** the s*** out of me and f*** me again. So I don't know if this beef is a real beef. I'm keeping this baby for me.

And that's that. I want a new beginning. And that's what it is. You still with me, Charlamagne? I'm with you, man. But, you know, I truly don't understand why so many people are invested in the dysfunction of those two individuals.

You know, and it amazes me how folks have all these convos about what shouldn't be platform, but yet I see these individuals on the blogs every day. And I see them on podcasts all the time. And they got a TV show on the Zeus Network. Like, everybody watches this type of dysfunction until something incredibly bad happens.

And then everyone will have something to say when the reality is, this is the type of content that shouldn't be platformed. And number one, you know, it's clear they don't need to be together. They're not good for each other. And number two, that young lady needs help, mentally and emotionally.

And I hope the people around her who actually love her get her the help she needs. But keeping a camera in her face to make a dollar is whack as hell. But wait, it gets worse. So we tell you she's pregnant. Then Blueface was having a birthday party at his crib, his 26th birthday party.

And I guess Chris Seanan was she pulled up and yeah you can play yeah so uh she said she wasn't fighting she said she was breaking something up and it wasn't a fight. And then also, as she was at the premiere of their new show that's coming out on Zoo, she allegedly got into a fight with her stylist as well. A lot going on. A lot going on. I'm old, man. I'm 44. I like peace. I don't find anything that, you know, those two individuals are doing entertaining. And like I said, I hope that, you know, the people around her who actually love her get her the help she needs. Keeping the camera in her face, you know, just to make a dollar, you know, just to get

hits on your blog. That's whack as hell. Yeah. Until something happens. Exactly. Don't wait. Don't wait until something happens to write your stupid ass think pieces with no thought. OK.

And sit around and act like y'all care because if y'all truly cared y'all would be trying to intervene now and y'all wouldn't be giving um giving that kind of content a platform absolutely all right and also let's talk to cardi b now cardi b has to do community service we tell you this a couple of days ago she had to get an extension she has 15 days of community service i think she did three already and she talks about doing community service these past two days i've been doing community service. I think she did three already. And she talks about doing community service. These past few days, I've been doing community service and I have learned things about myself. It was just such an experience today. So yesterday I have learned about veterans. You know, we all celebrate Veterans Day and, you know, we always be like, thank you to our soldiers.

But I don't know anybody that ever went to war I don't know any veterans and I have learned that a lot of veterans they go through so much and like this country or a lot of countries they don't like provide the proper service to our veterans or to our ex-soldiers and everything like a lot of them um suffer from PTSD and a lot of them turn to drug abuse because they trying to escape all of the things that they went through and it's just so sad that it it gets it hurts me because it's like wow these people are really fighting for us yeah we talk about this a lot up here and uh shout to all the veterans out there uh and i'm glad she's doing community service charlotte you ever had to do community service no i never had

to do community service i don't think so no i always went to jail okay i had to do community service. I don't think so. No, I always went to jail. I never had to do community service. Salute to all the veterans, though, man. What Cardi said is absolutely right. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing homeless veterans in these streets. Veterans that actually went to fight for this country, and now they can't even get room and board. We've said it a million times. Veterans should get free health insurance.

Veterans should get room and board. They should get a stipend every month, you know, to be able to pay their bills. Like, veterans should be well taken care of in this country. All right. And lastly, Morris Chestnut was on The Daily Show and was talking about how he deals with panic attacks. How do you deal with the panic attacks? I mean, you wrote a whole book about it. So, I mean, like, because that can help women just as much as men how do you deal with panic attacks how do you you know is there breathing exercises is this something that you do well i got a new therapist now and uh my new therapist

told me something that's really interesting you know he said uh he said faith and anxiety can't coexist so whenever you have those panic attacks whenever you have those anxiety attacks you got to tell yourself your own hero story and i know it may sound arrogant but no you really got to tell yourself how far you came you know you have to tell yourself you know what you've overcome you know you have to talk about the the good things that you know you do for yourself the good things you do for people and i think that's something that we don't do enough we don't tell ourselves our own hero story so much of us are getting on social media waiting for a bunch of strangers that we don't even know to validate us through likes and retweets and everything else

i'm sorry that wasn't morris chestnut that was charlamagne the god well i mean same design shut up man same same model same factory model but no uh for real tell yourself your own hero story okay for everybody out there that deals with anxiety when you get those panic attacks tell yourself your own hero story man be your own cheerleader you know jay-z has a great line remind yourself nobody built like you you design yourself sometimes we got to do that we forget to do that all right and that is your rumor report all right people's choice mixes up next don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same your company has goals this year find the right people to help you achieve them with zip recruiter where four out of five employees get a quality candidate within the first

But he said it was the drugs. Out of the 9, 10 people that called this morning, nobody had an erection but you. Well, I'm different. Okay. All right. All right. Well, you want to say anything to your cowboy, your cowboy nation, your cowgirls, whatever you call them? No, because I had no expectations for my cowboys.

I told you all that. I had zero expectations. I saw how we were playing, you know, the last few weeks of the regular season. I didn't think we were going to beat Tampa Bay. I had zero expectations. The defense had been shaky the last few weeks of the regular season. I didn't think we were going to beat Tampa Bay. I had zero expectations. The defense had been shaky the last few weeks of the regular season, and Dak Prescott has been very inconsistent, and he throws a lot of interceptions.

So I didn't have any expectations for my Cowboys going into the game against the 49ers. All right.
