Jesus Christ How do y'all feel? Well Jamil Hill will be joining us this morning

She will Her new book Well it's not a new book Paperback Oh yes Her book Uphill Is out in paperback That's right

So we're going to kick it with her A lot to discuss A lot to talk about And of course she knows A thing or two about some sports So we're going to talk about Everything this morning And she's executive producing

The Colin Kaepernick documentary That's coming out next year. Okay. Yeah, so she can talk about that as well. That's right. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking.

Tezlyn Figueroa has front page news. A lot to discuss, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tez. The hood whisperer. Yes, sir. Now, quickly, some quick NFL. The Broncos take on the Chiefs tonight in Kansas City. The game happens at 8-15 on Amazon Prime.

73-0 will be the final score. What? 73-0 Kansas City Chiefs. All right. The Broncos. I don't know if it's going to be 73-0, but I think they're going to get blown out. Now, let's talk about Carly Russell. Yeah, the update on Carly Russell.

You remember everyone, a lot of folks covered this story when she was kidnapped, the alleged kidnap in Alabama that she later admitted that was fake, admitted to faking her own death. She has been found guilty of two misdemeanor charges related to the case. Now, she pleaded not guilty to one count of false reporting to law enforcement authorities and one count of falsely reporting the incident. But she's still lying. Still lying.

But a judge, and then even after she apologized, which is really weird, but a judge disagreed and found her guilty and was sentenced to one year in jail and to pay about $18,000 in restitution. Now, her attorney said that they asked for the verdict because they wanted to appeal this in circuit court in order to avoid jail time. He didn't object to the restitution. He said that that was fair, but he disagrees with the jail time. Here is what else he had to say. I think she understands what has happened.

She has apologized. I know you all said through me, but that's not good enough. But she has apologized for what transpired. I don't want her to have any type of breakdown or anything of that nature. So we're handling her with kid gloves and trying to make sure her mental state is just fine i wonder if she would have pled uh guilty and just you know took accountability full accountability would they have been a little bit more lenient on her i don't think so i don't know let's think about that america probably not no i don't think so but i'm really surprised that it went to court so fast i mean you see all these cases and usually they take years or this was very fast you don't think so i mean i mean i they made it very clear they weren't weren't playing about this you know had to stop the kind of like the world stopped it felt like you know to look for this young lady and to

find out that it was a hoax so i don't know you know how fast things move in alabama with their circuit court but i will say when was this earlier this year i don't know man i think that i feel like it was this year but it might have been last year it was this year it was definitely this year so yeah i think it was like two three months ago but it just seems like it moves so fast and usually court i mean things take years things take everything moves fast it feels like every day it's something new every day it's something that has captured uh social media's attention our america's attention and causing all of this outrage. Everything is like feels like that. Everything is very fleeting nowadays.

Now, not that it matters, but did anyone ever find out why she lied in the first place? Never said anything. Just, you know, just apologize for it. Of course, people are still interested in that. People still on social media saying, yeah, we want to hear from her. That's why the attorney was saying, you know, I know you're getting the apology through me, basically, because we want to hear from her that's why the attorney was saying you know i know uh you're getting the apology through me basically because people want to hear from her so still have not gotten any answers i'm sure somebody's gonna come up with something you know down the road especially the boyfriend remember he was doing a lot of talking right so i'm sure as things progress uh more information will come out about that probably a lifetime movies looks like probably definitely lifetime lifetime of tv1 for sure i was gonna ask you

on tubi you stupid no it is they already got one on tubi they got a carly russell story on tubi do they yeah no they don't yes they do you lie i'm not lying you're lying we don't never know when you're telling the truth right hold on let me look it up and while he's looking it up i was gonna ask financially and legally can she write a book about what happened can she do her own movie explain what happened oh so she can so she can make money off of this oh absolutely she can i mean but that doesn't mean that people won't sue for the money or that doesn't mean that people want you know but she has to pay the 18 000 restitution so um remember oj wrote if i did it remember but that was that never came out though yeah that's true but uh they they sued him for anything he got you know but he had victims you

know they had victims and family but But this one, if she pays the $18,000, which is legally, let's say she does the year in prison and she does a movie based on it and she does a book on it, she can make money off of it. Anybody can do a book on anything. I see the boyfriend putting something out. I see him probably making a move first. But is something really on

Tubi Charlemagne for real? Yeah, it's called Tukin. No, shut up, man. How do you know it's about Carly Russell? Because Yeah, it's called Tookin. No, shut up, man. It's called Tookin.

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 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 this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like a 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.

I told y'all how incredible that Scissors concert was

last week when I went to it on Friday, right? It's very cinematic. The SOS tour. Okay? It's a whole boat. And life rafts. And water on stage. and her hair don't get wet not one time it's incredible all right morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk jada pinkett smith call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting

this is the Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Charlamagne, you asked why. That's because she is writing a book. And in this book, she's talking about a lot of different things. Now, yesterday, we reported that Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith

have been on, I guess, some type of break. There are so many surprising things in the book. But the thing that surprised me the most, that I actually had to reread it because I said, is this true? Right. Was that in 2016, you and Will decided that you were going to live completely separate lives. It was not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce. So from the year 2016, which is seven years ago now, y'all have been apart. Yeah. As a Pinkett Smith, Winfrey knows Carter.

I rebuke all of this. Okay. Well, you can't rebuke it because it's in a book. Now, Jada Pinkett also talks to People Magazine. She says every summer, all the reports will come out that me and will were getting a divorce spill that tea girl in this particular summer chris rock he thought that we were getting a divorce so he called me and basically he was like i'd love to take you out go ahead roshanna pinkett smith said that she was taken back by the call. She said she was like, what do you mean?

He was like, well, aren't you and Will getting a divorce? I was like, no, Chris, those are just rumors. You're going to pull your fan out, girl? Pull your fan out. Pinkett Smith recalled he was appalled and profusely apologized, and that was that. Now, also recently, Tommy Davidson. No, no, no, no, no, no. Just keep that there. You're just going to spill that tea and not going to discuss it, girl?

Okay, so discuss, so discuss. I just would like to say I hate, Davis. No, no, no, no, no. Keep that there. You know, you're going to spill that tea and they're not going to discuss it, girl. OK, so discuss. So discuss. I just would like to say I hate headline culture, you know, because when you see a headline, you know, like that. Just know is always for clickbait when you dig a little deeper and by dig a little deeper, actually read the story. If you read the actual story, it makes sense in context, because in People magazine, it says Chris thought that they were getting a divorce. So he called and basically said, I'd love to take you out. And she said, what do you mean? And he said, well, aren't you and Will

getting a divorce? And she said, no, Chris, those are just rumors. Then she said, and this is very important, Chris was appalled and he profusely apologized. And that was that.

Isn't that what I just read? So you want to be a girl too? You want to be a girlfriend too? I ain't hear none of that. You just made it up. I said all of that. I said he was appalled and he profusely apologized and that was that. No, you need to stress that the way you stress it. I said it just like that. You need to stress that the way everybody stresses.

Chris rocked that ass Jada Pink and Smith out. Don't just breathe by that. I read exactly what was in People Magazine. But stress the fact that he was appalled and he profusely apologized. I said that. Because I saw people trying to make it seem like oh, that's why Will smacked Chris. Who's people? The internet, of course. Well, it wasn't me. That's how I read it.

Well, just putting it out there. I want to stress that. But let me ask you a question, right? How close and how cool are Chris Rock and Will? Oh, here we go. It's a good question. They clearly weren't. They weren't close. It's a good question. Because if we't. They weren't close. It's a good question. Because if we close, you feel a way about it.

Correct or not? No. See, you making up stuff. You adding sauce to it. I said if. No, nigga, you adding sauce to it. I said if. The same way you add Beijing to your face

and make your beard blacker, that's just for men. You adding stuff to it. No Beijing. Don't add nothing to it. I'm asking if they were close. No, why ask that? I'm just asking a question.

There's no need to ask that. It's a good question. There's no need to ask that. It's a great question. If they were close question if they were close yes yes i hate it yes how would you feel if they were close yes absolutely it has nothing to do with it it does no it doesn't it does well let's continue on will smith allegedly rolled up on tommy davidson now tommy davidson you know comedian and actor he was uh on shannon sharp's club shea shea podcast for a new episode and this is what he said one time will Smith stepped to him. He came into the trailer and I was sitting down.

He's standing over me like this. And he's like, I don't appreciate that, man. Right? And I'm going, what's going on, man? Tell me what's happening, man. He's like, I don't appreciate that. You know what I'm saying? And Jada's going, Will?

Will? I'm saying, but I mean, what's happening, man? Now you tell me what's happening. Hmm? Hmm? You don't want to do this. bottom lip about to do something I do something right? So you didn't really know what he was actually talking. I didn't but I know what he was doing, right? So finally, I just said this is a small place and people are here you want we should talk about it

Right me you outside cuz it look like you could need to get something of your chest, right? And the Jada was like, oh no no no no no y'all no y'all and i was like what do you mean nah y'all tell him oh god this is amazing how algorithms work because tommy davidson told that story in his book what's funny about me and he told that story here on the breakfast club before yeah but it just came out yesterday on club shea shea and people are revisiting that. Now, Tyrese Gibson. You know Tyrese, right? You still got Tyrese's name in your mouth, huh? I'm reporting the story, brother.

Kick Tyrese's name out your mouth. I'm just reporting the story, brother, man. Tyrese Gibson. You know Tyrese, right? He was sued for $10 million over an interview that he did here on The Breakfast Club. If you don't remember, let's take you back to when Tyrese was up here. Tyrese was just mad he wasted my time with that interview. Oh.

Okay. Which you apologized for. I asked Charlamagne Tha God to come to Atlanta and do a full-on interview with myself and my ex post the crying video, post what God did. So y'all were together at this time? We were still together. We both were on the couch together.

I wish people could see that. I did the whole interview. Okay. Brian Barber, the director who I hired, this does the interview says, I'm going to go home, get this edited.

I say, yo, I'm going to work with you to add. What's the point of you doing it? This has taken the footage and refused to give it back. I paid $35,000 total for this whole. Then I found out he did it to big boy, did it to Dallas. Austin did it to a couple.

So I don't care if you see this interview because I'm too honest. Well, Brian Barker did see the interview. Brian Barber. Barber says Barker. Brian Barber did see the interview. Brian Barber. Barber, this is Barker here. Brian Barber did see the interview, and now he's claiming that Tyrese attacked his character and reputation. He says, Barber said that the footage and refused to give it back. He said that wasn't true.

He said Gibson paid Barber $35,000 total to film the interview footage, and Barber also stole footage from two other public figures. He said that's not true. He said Barba claimed that the actor's management specifically instructed him not to release any portion of the interview to protect the reputation of the Fast 9 star. Brian Barba, salute to Brian Barba. He directed all the videos on OutKast

Speak About The Love Below, which is the highest selling rap album of all time. Yep. You finished reporting bad news about Tyrese? I'm just reporting. Oh, okay. I'm just reporting like every other blog site, like TMZ, like Shade Room, like Hollywood Unlocked, like Ball Alert. I'm just reporting. So you're a blogger now?

You're a blogger now. No more dope games. No, actually, I shouldn't really be doing a rumor report. Somebody else should be doing it here, but we haven't picked a third co-host yet.

and I told the truth a little just now. Go do your own research and you figure it out. Okay? And that is your rumor report. I don't like you. All right.

When we come back, Teslin Figaro will be joining us. She got front page news. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Welcome back, Tez. Yes, hello. Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. Tez, what's happening?

Now, let's do some quick sports. The Broncos take on the Chiefs tonight in Kansas City. The game happens at 8.15 Eastern time, but you got to watch it on Amazon Prime. All right? Now, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about Republicans. The Republicans picked their guy? Looks like their guy may be the guy that compared himself to David Duke.

House Republicans agreed Wednesday to nominate Steve Scalise, who reportedly described himself as David Duke without the baggage. He was up against Jim Jordan for the Republican Party nomination, and he's still making some pushback from lawmakers who are loyal to Jordan, so they still have not made a decision. It's still in disarray. But Scalise attended a white supremacist conference that Duke organized in 2002, and he described this as a mistake you know after folks kind of called him out on it but Duke said that Scalise was invited because he would communicate a lot and that he was friendly with Kenny Knight who is Duke's political advisor so a few Republicans even stepped out yesterday saying you know I just can't nominate somebody

who calls himself David Duke so and then there's also some folks that are saying hey well at least he's putting it on the table and calling it what it is. So there you go. The person over the speaker of the House of the House may be akin to David Duke. Now, for people that don't know what that means. Yeah. For people that don't know who David Duke is, his breakdown for people that might not know who David Duke is. So that is who founded the KKK. There you go. I've said that anybody ask him, though, that anybody ask him, like, well, what does that mean? David Duke without the baggage? Well, when they asked, he just said, hey, it was a mistake that I went and left it at that.

I don't know what the baggage would mean with somebody who founded the KKK out of Seoul. Is that like David Duke without the hood or something like that? Is that what he's trying to say, without the sheets? Is that what he's saying? He didn't found the whole KKK, though, right? KKK been around a long time. He founded the whole KKK? He did not find the entire KKK though, right? KKK been around a long time. He founded the whole KKK? He did not find the entire KKK.

Let's look it up. Let's give him the exact definition of who is David Duke. But he's over it. Wouldn't you think that is enough? No, they got different chapters. He was the leader of one of the chapters. He was the grand wizard of one of the chapters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my part.

So let me correct that. So he is a white supremacist, anti-semitic uh conspiracy theorist and was the former grand wizard of the kkk so not founded so my father's gonna correct so he is the former grand wizard no they don't they said he did found uh yeah the knights of the ku klux klan i guess that's a chapter he did that yeah he did that in 75. Jesus. Yeah. Well, it's the KKK, so whether it's the... He said he's tried to put a kinder,

gentler face on the KKK. Yo, shut up, man. I'm reading it right now. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan founded by David Duke in 1975. The Knights of the KKK

has attempted to put a kinder, gentler face on the Klan. What's the kinder face? Did they put a smiley face in the sheet instead of a circle? I have no idea.

That or look like maybe the kinder, gentler is to be, you know, Speaker of the House. Again, without the Conler face? Did they put a smiley face in the sheet instead of a circle? I have no idea. That or look like maybe the Conler general is the speaker of the house. Again, without the baggage, I don't know. So this is going to be interesting if they move forward. He still doesn't have the votes to do it by the way. So we do not currently have a speaker of the house. And again, we got a war going on. We're in the middle

of, in case folks keep forgetting, we're in the middle of a pause on a shutdown. So a lot of business needs to be handled in the house and they can't figure out who the leader will be. So there you go. All right. Well, let's jump into Detroit. What's going on with Detroit? Yeah. Detroit three automakers have laid off roughly forty eight hundred workers at factories that were not among the plants that were hit by the United Auto Workers strike, which has lasted for nearly four weeks. So bottom line is even the folks who did not strike and went to work have been laid off. The company says the strikes were they were forced to do this because of the other strikes. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants.

They were closed by the strikes. In one case, layoffs have been imposed at a factory. They use supplies for the parts. The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the company's pressure campaign to persuade the members to accept accept less favorable terms and negotiations with automakers. The factories that have been affected by the layoffs are in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. So bottom line, simply put, they're saying nope. They're calling BS on that and saying they're just doing that to, you know, I guess intimidate those who are on strike to get back to work since it's affecting so many people. Wow. Well, I just hope that the automakers and everybody striking out there gets, you know, meet somewhere in the middle and these people get back to work and start making it, you know, because they got to pay for their kids. They got to pay for everything that they got to pay for. So I just hope that they can get to a good place and everybody's happy in those, I guess, those strikes.

And if they don't, they stay on strike, just like the actors. The actors, you know, the actors going right back on strike, you know? Yeah, but the problem is even when they go on strike, a lot of these people can't afford the stuff now. They can't afford their mortgage, their rent, their car loans. Temporary sacrifice for a long-term gain. Yeah, I agree. Not just for them, but for the people coming behind them.

That's what the whole point of a strike is. Like, sometimes you put it on the line to let people know, like, hey, we don't like what's happening. Correct. If we don't stand for something now, then, you know, it'll never get better. So I'm not mad at it. I just hope they can get through it pretty fast, though. Mm-hmm. All right.

Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Absolutely. That's right. And make sure you subscribe to Tezlin Figaro's podcast The Scrape Shot, No Chase Podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network and follow at Tezlyn Figaro on all social media platforms. All right. Now, when we come back,

Jamil Hill will be joining us. She has a new, well, not a new book, but her paperback of her book came out. We got a lot to discuss, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Jamil Hill, welcome back. Hey, you know I always love to sit with y'all. Enjoy the conversations. That's right. And the paperback is out right now. It is, yeah.

Congratulations. My baby has grown up a little bit. It's now a toddler, I guess. So a year ago, the hardcover of my memoir appeal came out and now the paperback how was the response to putting out a memoir because you know in memoirs you put out so much information you reveal things you probably never told anybody yeah response not just from the general public but from like your family and stuff um the response was generally good it was mostly positive there was somebody in my family who took issue with it and that created

some tension and attention is still there unfortunately and so you know I'm still processing that part did you not have a conversation before we did have a conversation before but I just didn't think how they reacted to it would be the way they reacted and they took it to Facebook as opposed to taking it to me and then they aired out stuff that was not even in the book and it was like why and probably stuff that wasn't true um yeah some of it was was definitely i looked at very skeptically um and it wasn't about me it was it was about my mom to be candid and so i was not happy that that was the course of action that they chose and so it caused a fracture in our relationship oh i know the feeling after i put

on my first book it was the same thing and family members oh i can't write a book but i can go to facebook right exactly you know and especially it's not like this person couldn't have called me like they could have and we could have had a conversation about it and i guess the surprising part they didn't take issue of what was written as in terms of like it not being true the issue was when we finally did have that discussion was that they weren't in it enough. Oh. So that really... So they wanted their side

out there. Yeah. Or they just felt like they should have been, you know, that their role in my life should have been more highlighted or more.

And I thought I did a pretty good job of it as it was, but apparently it was not on par with this person. And so, yeah. Was their role in your life as big as they actually

thought it was? Well, I mean, I guess if you want me to say what it is because i see you you're getting to but it was my father who had an issue oh yeah so it was my father had an issue with some of the things that were in the book not necessarily because they were untrue but he felt like he should have been more prominently featured in the book that was what i got from it and so i it wasn't it was a very difficult conversation to have um and so those conversations have been somewhat ongoing. And I told him I needed to kind of press pause because I need to process what you said to me because I took a lot of issue with it. Now, what do you think a second Jemele Hill book would be about?

Well, there will be another Jemele Hill book. And it is much like this memoir of something I didn't expect to write. But the second book will be a children's book. Oh, yeah. So I'm writing a children's book and it will cover some parts of appeal, like just kind of, you know, how I was able to overcome some adversity and some of the more positive career stuff like some of that will be part of it. But generally speaking, it will be sort of like my love letter to a lot of the women whose stories haven't been told, a lot of the women who I've admired. And so I'm really looking forward to it. I've never written for a children's audience before.

So this will be quite a challenge. It'll be the opposite almost from a memoir because you're pouring everything into this book. And, you know, it's like 250, 300 pages in a children's book. You have to be quite concise and you have to make sure that they pages and a children's book you have to be quite concise and you have to make sure that they understand the general themes that you're trying to what is it gonna be about you know yet yeah i mean it's it'll be a combination of my story and the stories of women who um whose stories need to be told and you know women i've admired so yeah some of them famous some of them not as famous as others i mean i'm trying to like really unearth

and tell the stories of some women who probably didn't get the flowers that they deserved. Gotcha. Yeah. Now, we just had Offset up here and you had some words about his interview

with, how do you pronounce his name? Bobby Althoff. Althoff. Althoff. Althoff. Althoff. The podcaster.

And you said, you feel like this is erasing real hip-hop journalism. Yeah, I do. I mean, listen, I admit I'm spoiled. It's like when hip-hop was really coming into its own and growing, you know, that's when you had Vibe. You had Kevin Powell and Dream Hampton and Danielle Smith.

And there was like a real hip hop journalism sort of movement there that covered the culture, that covered these artists, tried to tell the full 360 dimensions of their stories. And as you know, you know, mainstream media wasn't messing with hip hop like that. They weren't telling these stories. And so now it's just media wasn't messing with hip-hop like that. They weren't telling these stories. And so now, it's just interesting to me the platforms they wind up on. Like, look at Sexy Red. Like, why was she on that podcast?

For what? With Theo Vaughn? With Theo Vaughn. Does that seem like the type of podcast that you would expect Sexy Red to be on? Probably not.

I don't know, because Theo Vaughn's interesting. Yeah, he is. He had funny Marco on there one time, and he was talking about how sexy I was. That's all Charlamagne cares is. He had funny Marco on there one time, and he was talking about how sexy I was. That's all Charlamagne cares about.

The fact that that man called you sexy, that's all Charlamagne cares about. Wait, who called you sexy, Phil Vaughn? Oh, really? He did. It was like a whole five-minute thing where he was talking about how beautiful I am. Not blushing. He's such a beautiful man. He was like, I'm like, what?

Look at him. He's blushing now. Look at his face. Look at his face. Look. A compliment is a compliment. I was like, wow. Not blushing, dog.ushing dog he's so silly let me take him on a date he said i got a lady features i promise you that's what he was saying look he remembers

every lie i do i do i do but that's i don't i don't know what theo's angle is is what i'm yeah i mean he he's had a an eclectic group of guests so i guess maybe from that standpoint you could say that she fits but it's just um i when I watch that interaction and I get it I know what her shtick is a lot of it as many people say like she clearly borrowed some of this from funny Marco who I actually think does it pretty well he does yeah like he he has he's got a good thing going um and her I guess looking at her rise it was kind of curious to me. Like her podcast has not been in existence for that long. I think the way the story was told was like Drake saw her on TikTok, I think. Yeah, on TikTok.

But she was with Funny Marco. I think that's the interview that he saw. At least that's sort of what's been reported and out there. And then he just up and decided, you know, hey, I'm just going on this random podcast podcast which he has every right to do but when I look about who are the caretakers of hip-hop the caretakers of how this culture is covered it it's us you know for the most part that's not to say that Offset can't do interviews with people outside the culture but I notice how those interviews are received and for their that matter how they're treated on those interviews and it makes me concerned overall honestly I know a lot a ton of black journalists who could go who

could use that kind of boost and to me especially given we see the danger of when our stories aren't told and they're trying to erase our stories in real time i would like to see artists like him artists like drake other black artists in general be more intentional about the type of media that they try to do right like that's why breakfast club has the status and the stature that it does because this is a place that has been established for the culture and it would be nice if some of these artists understood that there's something larger at play than just going viral no i agree i agree with you because i feel like you know if you think about an artist like drake or or i would never come or yy or any of these. Yeah.

I mean, you know what I'm saying? You ain't been easy on me. I'm dealing with you. I mean, obviously. That's a choice, right? Like, why would I go in here and deal with that on a random Wednesday? Well, maybe not you, but I agree. But you give somebody an opportunity that is not from the culture, that probably does not care about the culture,

and there's a lot of black journalists that are coming from all these different spaces that would die for an interview like that that you could really make their career yeah you know i mean so so you actually drink with funny marco if you was gonna do an interview like that you had to do it funny well and especially because it was kind of funny marco's thing right and so that would have made you know kind of more sense and even if you look at you know i know he's a friend of the show roland martin like roland martin has one of the few black owned media platforms there are like they're they're practically non-existent so that to me should be a platform that black celebrities and entertainers and musicians intentionally try to go on understanding what the landscape looks like i mean do they look at roland in that way do they look at roland

i know roland has had a lot of entertainers on his show before and I get it from a political ramp just using him as an example but like when you look at how black media voices you know the dearth of them that are out there thankfully there's this you know of course you have like you know other shows Angie Martinez, Angie, Angela Yee

like there are other platforms but I feel like that they should be very intentional about the places that they go. Because what what happens is the situations that you see with sexy red. That's what happens. I will go anywhere. We got more with Jamil Hill. It's the breakfast.

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.

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 a 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 Blacklit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the talented Jemele Hill. Now, recently, Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to Jets. You were in support of that. Talk about it.

Yep. So, as you guys know, there's so many false narratives out there about him. One, you know, people, whenever his name comes up, they start running away with these things that they've supposedly heard or supposedly have been reported that haven't been. He's never been offered any money. He's never been offered a contract by another team since he left the 49ers. So this idea that Collinwood is asking for all kinds of money or that he said he only wants to be a starter, that he never wants to be a backup, none of that was ever true. And I think the one benefit to people seeing that letter

is knowing how earnest and committed that he is. He just asked to run the practice squad. He said in the letter, I know you're trying to prepare Zach Wilson to be the starter this season. I'm fine with that. I'm here to support that. I'll just run a practice squad. And for those of you who don't know about the practice squad, every NFL team has one.

And these are fringe NFL players. He could run a practice squad in a minute. I mean, it's frankly, given his skill level and where he was in the game, it's something that would probably be beneath him in terms of skill set but he is willing to do that just to show how much he wants to still keep his NFL dream alive so I was glad that the letter came out so people could see what his true intentions are and frankly always have been I didn't like it for exactly what you just said why is that it's beneath him like he's Colin Kaepernick like you have grown to be this this figure that people look to with with reverence you know we love what you stood for or kneeled for you know and it's just like i don't want to see you writing a letter begging these people for a job on the practice but

here's the thing though charlamagne is that what he doesn't want to do is leave them with an excuse like they can't say oh he was unwilling to be on a practice squad and he was want to do is leave them with an excuse like they can't say oh he was unwilling to be on a practice squad and he was unwilling to do you know something that would be considered like very entry-level work they can't say that because that those are narratives that the NFL has you know secretly tried to float out there to try to undermine his credibility is like oh well if he really loved um playing professional football then he would lower himself and take this entry level job. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I would. So now what's your excuse?

Are you said I couldn't throw? You said I was washed up. OK, the Raiders said I had a great workout. What's your excuse? So this shifts it back to them. So what is your excuse? I don't think anybody believes that, though. I think we know why Colin Kaepernick is not in the NFL.

I think they're. Well, I'll say this. He took he kneeled for police brutality, I mean, against police brutality. And he got blackballed. Nobody ever thought that, oh, it's because teams didn't want to sign him. But you'd be surprised, there's still a lot of people. And granted, I'll admit, these are probably people who were never down with his protests to begin with, who really want to believe that the only reason he's not in the league is just simply because he's not

good enough even though we've seen these backups right neither beat neither peterman still got a job right we we see what's happening right and they still are clinging to this idea that sports is a meritocracy and if he were really that good then he would be out there but they changed they always change the argument sort of mid-conversation it goes from yes it's a football decision well no team wants to deal with that well either it's a football decision or it's not right is he gonna make your team better or not that's really all it boils down to so i was happy he wrote the letter so people could really see you know kind of where his true intentions are i feel like you you it you never really said anything disparaging about ESPN. Really? I mean, not really. I mean, I'm not saying I want to.

You've never called them a plantation. No. You've never accused anybody over there of being racist. A little bit. I kind of did. I kind of did. I kind of did. I kind of did.

But I know what you're saying. But with that said, I know Jemele Hill ain't going back to ESPN. But the thing is, there's other places I could go. But you wouldn't go back to ESPN. I wouldn't say that. I mean, you never know, though.

If management changes, if ownership changes, and then you get an opportunity, she might go back. And you know how things change on TV all the time. So, I mean, technically, ESPN is paying me right now because I'm executive producing Colin Kaepernick's documentary, which is airing on ESPN and directed by Spike Lee. So, technically, yeah. I mean, there's a check that comes via them, so to speak, you know, so but I know what you're saying. The thing is, the NFL is one to one. Yes, you may not have liked the criticism toward this country.

You may have not have liked the criticism toward this league. By the way, criticism, that's not wrong. I mean, the NFL was race norming up until a few years ago. OK, where they actively had policy that stated that black brains and black bodies were not worth as much as white bodies. That was literally policy. OK, so what he said about the league is true. What do you mean policy? So race norming. This is one of the things that they use when it came to settling some of the head trauma lawsuits. What was part of the NFL practice is that they pretty much said that black players and everybody can look it up you can go to google just look up nfl and race norming this is all there's one of the more

undercover stories about them that they pretty much said they came up with a calculation where the head trauma that black athletes suffered in the league because they said there were certain cognitive abilities that were not there inherently race norming like race norming has been used in a lot of different medical fields frankly to justify medical racism on us and the nfl was using the same practice so if y'all look it up you will see and they had they stopped doing it i believe in either 2015 or 2016 it's why some of the black players didn't receive as much money from the concussion lawsuit as some of the white players did because they had race norming as part of the formula to figure out who deserved what. That is the NFL. So again, like I said, he was telling the truth.

Unfortunately, a lot of the systems that we are a part of have practiced in something. I would love to see him do something like go to an HBCU and bring a coach. Because the amount of attention that he would bring there, the amount of kids that he can actually teach, I think it would be more impactful if he made the league. If he made the league, okay, cool. But if he takes a school like Howard or Hampton or Morgan State or Alabama A&M, whatever, and he coached that and got them to that level.

I think it would show everybody like that would be even a bigger FU. Okay. That's interesting. And next time I see him, I'll be like, hey, you ever thought

about coaching? Does he talk in his documentary? Oh, yeah. Okay. He don't talk. He don't really talk for himself ever. Yeah.

And I don't like that either. Yeah. I've already seen some of your comments in it. I've got, you know, I got the video back and everything. I have to give the notes.

No, I think what people will hear from him in this doc, he is unloading. And I don't mean it in an angry way, but he is, as you know, he hasn't spoken very much. And so when people accuse him of like, oh, he just wanted the attention and it's like, really? I mean, if he wanted this attention, this is a bad way of showing it because he rarely does interviews. And he's just kind of tried to let his work speak for himself. But yes, in this documentary, you get a lot of Colin telling his own story. And so I think a lot of the people who were detractors, they will be embarrassed after they watch some of this. When did that drop? It will be in 2024.

OK, that's that's that's as broad, that's as succinct as a timeline as I can give you. But I'm really impressed with where things are. I love, you know, just the energy and just the passion. You know, Spike, he's been incredible to work with. Just smart, knowledgeable, all those things. Like, legendary filmmaker, you all know. But I've learned a lot doing this. All right, well, don't go anywhere.

We got more with Jameel Hill. It's the Breakfast Logo Morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it. Very insightful with Jamil Hill this morning. Charlamagne?

I do miss your sports takes, Jamil. Do you? I talk about this all the time. And you know what? Let me tell you this, Charlamagne. I think you deserve, you should give me credit because it took a lot for me to resist texting you the day my 49ers just put just just beat the brakes off because what it's because I knew this was see him in person and I'd rather say I had

your number I would have called you I would have put you on the screen just for five minutes like you have something to say? When the 49ers wash them Cowboys. I just want to see a white quarterback do that to a black quarterback. Why are you so happy to see that, Jameis? It ain't black history, bro. What we talking about? Like, what? Hey, dog. I was just like.

Nah, that was bad. Yeah, we a problem. But we a problem for most of them. Y'all, we knew that, though. We knew that. But we a problem for Dallas specifically. You know, and so when I saw the final score because I missed most of the game

because I had some other things to do but I knew we were going to win I just didn't think it was going to be like that no that was bad

I was like you know I'm going to give Charlemagne some privacy you know some thoughts and prayers and then when I see him in

person I'll be like your boys no that was the moral of it the first two weeks I'm like yo we going to the Super Bowl you know I say that every year you know you know with the loss of the'm like, yeah, we're going to the Super Bowl. You know, I say that every year.

Yeah. You know, you know what the loss of the Cardinals, oh, that's nothing. Right. We're going to the Super Bowl. But now you know. I'm back against New England. We're going to the Super Bowl. This week, I'm like.

His daddy texted him and said, Charlamagne, we're really going to the Super Bowl. Buy your tickets. Y'all, it's just, the belief is so hard. Yeah, it's just. That's been a different conversation. Yeah, now. Okay. This is depressing. Let's go back to one other topic. Theo Vaughn and Sexy Red. All right. the belief is so hard yeah it's just that's been a different conversation yeah okay this is

depressing let's go back to one of the topics okay theo vaughn and sexy red all right we can talk about it a couple times what about that interview is so upsetting like there's no need to beat up on her it's sexy right yeah i mean i don't think that anybody was rushing to hear you know what her political takes were but the problem with is like the misinformation is it wasn't that she gave her political take she's allowed to give her political take she could have said i supported trump and listed off the reasons and that actually made a little bit more sense um yeah she could have said that because it's her right to have that opinion but it's the misinformation that that is what i see is to be more dangerous when you have that kind of platform because like it or

not people are going to listen to her. And even though, you know, she talked about, they love Trump in the hood. I was like, well, polls don't really show that, but that's okay.

Go ahead, go off. And so I took the opportunity to your point. I saw it as a teachable moment, because as you said, there are some people who do say the same things. Let's deal with what's being said. Even though Donald Trump's name were on that stimulus check,

he did not, the money did not come from him. He didn't, it didn't come right out his bank account it was it was passed by congress people and that's a part of the general collective ignorance that we have a lot of us don't know how government works there's no shame in that because it is a complicated system but we have to understand how legislation is passed how policies are made knowing the right person to be mad at because a lot of the things that people are mad at you know inflation other things i was like the president doesn't have a whole lot to do with that and we're in a huge age of corporate greed like we've never seen before and i wish that we had a better handle on who to blame because then that would help us

better strategize i agree with you 100 but you know what i tell the tell the hood i'll just be like biden gave out stemmy's too he didn't put his name on it but that was brilliant though i was like i mean no president in history has ever done that he's like no no no the checks got held up because he was like no no i'm gonna need that donald j trump on it because he knew he knew the lasting impact that would have you're right biden uh signed, signed it in twice. Yeah. Biden signed it in once. Right.

Biden gave out stimmies too. He did. That's the hook. Yeah. Right. That's how you get the sexy reds and all that. It is. And unfortunately, the other part of it is that the amount of media machinery behind

the right wing, there's no democratic equivalent. I hope somebody in her camp or somebody, period, pulled her aside and said, hey, here are the issues. If you're going to speak about these and if you're going to take a pro-Trump position,

at least if you're going to take one, take one that is a little more informative than the one that you had. Know your facts, that's right. Yeah, know your facts. And people just like to be entertained nowadays, too. I bet you said you're not ready to vote.

I mean, that would have been like a great follow-up to be like, oh, so... Are you ready to vote? Are you ready to vote are do you plan to vote for him in the next election that would have been something to follow to bring up with her but i guarantee that might be the last political question she answers for quite some time oh uh spotify you parted ways with spotify i did uh i did and um you know listen uh i was there i got there in 2019 you know spotify was undergoing quite there. I got there in 2019.

You know, Spotify was undergoing quite a change in the sense that like they really wanted to be the most prominent brand in the podcast game. And so a lot of the things, a lot of the ups and downs and figuring stuff out. Sometimes when you become a part of something that's I wouldn't call them necessarily new, but a part of something that's like in a deep evolution period. You can wind up experiencing some of their growing brains that which are not necessarily out of malice. Nevertheless, they impact your business. And so I think Spotify was overall a great partner, we had a good relationship, but for the things that I wanted to do, they just weren't a fit. You know, it was it was not a an easy parting. Because again, we were able to produce a lot of good things together, the podcast itself, Jamel Hills, I'm bothered,ed you know won multiple NAACP image awards won Webby awards like it was a very highly regarded podcast but that and the podcast network that I

created for black women I just think ultimately weren't a fit for them and so one thing the experience at ESPN taught me is that when I see certain things and see certain, I guess, for lack of better way to put it, red flags, then I know like I probably am better off before this gets to a point where it is contentious, where we don't like each other as much. It's probably best that I move on. Yeah, I guess I'm really extraordinarily sensitive to those things following the ESPN experience. And so when I saw some of the same decisions being made, the same dynamics, I was like, yeah, this is probably a good time. You know, it's like Pittsburgh, the Steelers, they used to be known for this.

In fact, they were good at cutting players too early rather than too late. Wow. Right. And so I felt like we should probably cut the relationship now as opposed to later on where this would be bad for both of us. One more question. You still think Nikki Haley's racist? Did I say that wrong? Wait, there was a reason a reason for it yeah I know why you said that you said you said you thought she was racist for not wanting comma vice president Harris no so it's not that because

again like in politics you're not gonna agree with who needs to be the leader it's not the general disagreement I think people took it that way I'm not calling her a flat-out racist but what I will say is that she's very comfortable using racist dog whistles to further and advance her political position. I feel like the biggest opposition Vice President Harris is going to face is going to come from in her own party. Yes, I agree. I think that there's people in her party right now who don't want her to be vice president. I agree. Did you see the article that came out yesterday in the New York Times?

And it's the hit pieces that are done on her it's just i don't i mean i get it but i don't get it like i had to go google and see what did she do like i was like it just came out of nowhere yeah long as i mean and even even some of us who are just like well what is she doing where is she being like she literally speaks every day guys like i don't know what to tell y'all like you're like where is she i'm like uh i because i'm on the mailing list i get her schedule practically every day like she's always doing a lot of things um like i know right now she's on a college tour but no that like she's been subjected to a lot of hit pieces and you could tell they're hit pieces because of some of the things they say about her and you can tell her

from within and they could tell that from within it's like um because i think in that is this this the article that mentioned how much time she spends on her hair on her hair. Like, are you serious? Like, that's what we do. Like on her hair, like she's a black woman. I bet she is going to spend some time on her hair because the moment she doesn't look presentable. Guess what the conversation is going to be about the vice president. So it's like she's damned if she does damned damned if she doesn't. She's caught in a really tight position and i feel like it is really it's really neutering what i think makes her such a strong politician and like it or not

joe biden would not have gotten elected without her he would not have she was the strongest i think person for him to run with i mean is it look listen do you feel like that there's another viable vp that will get no i don't think exactly i don't think the democrats have no bench period no it's then it's then like when you look at who could have run with it just for claire he said bench bench no bench clearly say bench bench i said they don't got no bitch Bitch Bitch They ain't got no bitches They ain't got no bitches Oh my goodness Alright

Now, shout out to Vlad, DJ Vlad. You know him from Vlad TV. He's actually going to be up this weekend. He put on his social media.

He's going to be up what this weekend? No, he's going to be up here this week or next week. Damn. All right. What? The way you said it sounded crazy just now. What? You said Vlad going to be up here this weekend.

All right. No, I mean, this week or next week. He's going to be here this week. Yeah, this week or next week. On the show. That's correct. All right. Not in your butt.

No. No, I don't think you're the only one thinking that. Okay. All right. Well, he talked about on his social media. He was talking. This is what he said. He says, as anyone noticed that the most famous Jewish person on Earth, Drake, and the most

famous Palestinian person on Earth, Khal Khaled hasn't said a thing about the Gaza Israel conflict who cares what Drake and Khaled got to say at a time like this I can't wait to argue and be glad about that well he does this long statement but you know who defended both of them don't say it Ja Rule it's a tough thing I don't think anybody's obligated to do anything just because they're a public figure. I mean, I know there is expectations, you know, for people, but it's a tough thing, man. You know, sometimes people just, you know, they make a decision in their careers to stay away from politics, to stay away from, you know, certain things that are, you know are tough topics to speak on, religion, these things are tough.

And in other times, people may not feel like they're educated enough at the moment to speak right away. So give people time to do what they're doing, too. Dropping a clues bomb for Ja Rule. He's absolutely right. And I think that we should go and see what Ja Rule thinks. I did that on my TV show last season. One of my favorite things to do, go and see what Ja Rule thinks. You know, I did that on my TV show last season. What would Ja Rule think?

One of my favorite things to do, go and see what Ja Rule thinks. But the reality of the situation is Drake and Khaled are not obligated to speak on anything. And why would I expect for them to speak on this situation? Because they don't speak on any social issues. They never, that's not their thing. But why do we have this unhealthy obsession with celebrity to where we always want to hear what celebrities think about issues why you know we joke about ja rule what does ja rule dig a lot but ja rule is actually right like if somebody is not knowledgeable of the situation he doesn't know

much about it exactly why leave a comment based off what everybody else is doing and by the way why be sheep like if you don't know what to say sometimes don't say nothing all I see is celebrities getting killed for speaking out because they don't know what the hell

they talking about I saw Justin Bieber post a picture of Palestine right and the destruction that has gone through

but he put pray for Israel on top of it he got destroyed for that you know what I mean I just don't see why you just can't say

if somebody does ask you why not just say pray for peace because it all looks terrible to me right you know innocent people dying is always terrible but we get mad if we get mad when people don't know what they're talking about and then they speak but i'm not looking to drake and callie to speak on any of this stuff because they don't ever do and i don't care if they do or not why do we have such an unhealthy obsession with celebrity that we have to hear from celebrities on every single thing? Doesn't make sense. It makes zero sense.

It doesn't make sense at all. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne, who you giving your donkey to? Man, four after the hour, man. There's a young woman. I'm sorry, Florida. I promise you, Floridaida i don't come in here every day and look for things i think you're picking on a young woman in florida named

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.

Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.

Put the breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day. With Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Well, little Duval, it's not me. It's your state, okay? Donkey of the day for Thursday, October 12th goes to a Florida woman named Catherine Eves. Okay, now what does your Uncle Charlotte always tell you about the great state of Florida?

Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now, Catherine was arrested and charged with petty retail theft, and she stole from the cultural institution that is Walmart. Now, according to the surveillance footage, this woman was walking around Walmart for about three hours before walking into the Tire Center, passing several cash registers and leaving the store without paying for her items. I know, I know you're thinking to yourself, who the hell walks around Walmart for three hours? The answer would be us country folk. OK, if you read my first book, New York Times bestseller, Black Privilege, then, you know, I have a whole subchapter dedicated to Walmart.

See, when you grew up where I grew up, Moscow and South Carolina, and, you know, it's not much to do. And when we were young, that 24 hour Walmart, we would go there late at night and wander around for hours just like that young lady. Now, mind you, I was a teenager. She's 34 years old, but maybe she hasn't figured life out yet. OK, when I was wandering around Walmart for hours as a teenager, I hadn't figured life out yet either. So maybe she was wandering around walmart for hours as a teenager i hadn't figured life out yet either so maybe she was wandering around walmart trying to figure things out i'm not judging but i tell you what i am judging her choice to steal see kathryn stole 160 dollars worth of items two hair color kits two drill batteries shampoo and a few other random items fishing hooks and all types of stuff totaling 160 dollars now she got arrested the reason she's getting donkey today is because of why she told officers she stole she said and i quote i

thought the security guard was trying to holler at me let me read some of the post miranda interview uh eve's told deputies the security guard started talking to her but she thought he was trying to holler so she ran out of the store oh and my point is proven she said she was at walmart in the first place because she had nothing to do and was killing time and she says she had to return a few items and grab a few more so you return some items and by grab a few more you meant still this is what happens when you tell one lie when you tell one lie you got to tell another one to make sense of the first when you just told so her story is I came in the store to

return some items and grab a few more I also had nothing to do and was killing some time I walked past all the cash registers in the tire center and she said she left the store because there was no cashiers in the tire center area i don't even know why you thought you could pay for those items in the tires in the area in the first place don't you got to be buying a tire to buy other items too furthermore when there's no cashiers around that is not a reason to leave the store in fact when i'm in those situations i think it's a setup because soon as you try to walk out the door security and asset protection specialist gonna hop out like gotcha bitch and that's exactly what happened here asset protection specialist popped out and told her go back in the store okay she

refused and because she refused uh you know she got arrested you know she got caught and now look here's the thing you know the only reason the security guard was trying to holler at her was to tell her stupid ass to get back in the store and pay for these items before you get locked up and charlamagne gives you donkey today now i'm gonna tell y'all something i know somebody coming down off of meth high when i hear one okay wandering around walmart at 34 years old uh walking around the store for three hours stole 160 of a bunch of random items then thought a security guy was trying to holler trying to kick it to her that's her excuse for not paying for the items meph okay these are the stages of meph the rush the high she walked around walmart waiting for the high

to wear off and as it started to wear off she started tweaking when folks is tweaking they lonely depressed this is a very dangerous time because they have increased hostility, irritability, and delusion. And you know what really grinds my gears about that situation, though? Catherine, if the security guard did try to holler at you, all you had to do was entertain him. Men are stupid. Tell him he looked handsome in his uniform.

Ask him if you're working out Say, is that your flashlight? Are you happy to see me? Say, ooh, is that lazy eye winking at me? That security guard wouldn't have cared If you walked out after that He would have either paid for the items for you Or just let you slide

You gotta use what you got to get what you want Okay, there's women out here Popping a whole poom-poom for $40. You could have flirted with the fat security guard for $160 and got all your items for free. Boom. I should have been a PI. K-Soft, please give Catherine Eves the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. That would have never happened to Sexy Red. Sounds like it wouldn't have happened to you. That would have never happened to Sukeana. Okay? JT and Young Miami, that would have never happened to them okay sound like

they would have known how to play that security guard they would have had that security guard wrapped around their finger all right look in one of their eyes if you want to trapped all right gotcha boom done slid with 160 out the store uh and i'll be back i'll be back in a couple days he's sitting there fat with the lazy eye. Sounds like you used some of those. Is that a flashlight? Are you happy to see me? Seems like you used that before.

You judging the inner city girl to me? Yes. All right. You want to play a game? Not really. All right. Not really. Because I want to know. Okay. Okay. Well, I guess we'll play a game of guess what race it is

all right i'm gonna be honest with you race don't really matter when you're from florida okay but florida her name is katherine he's 34 years old walked around walmart for three hours before she stole 160 items she said she stole the items and had to run out the store because security was flirting with her. Guess what race she is? DJ Envy. I'm going white. Why? Because I feel like if they were black, they wouldn't have stole a fish hook. They would have stole things that they could sell.

I made that up. Oh, you were lying. I made that up. I made the fish hook thing up. I mean, she did. I made that up. Oh, you were lying. I made that up. I made the fish hook thing up. I mean, she did. I'll tell you what she did. See? I made that up.

Yeah When you said fish Black person gonna try To flip something they steal And you can't get That much money For a fish hook right? No I made the fish hook up

Only reason I made the fish hook up Cause it said what she stole And then it said random items In my mind Based off the picture I saw You just said She probably would Steal a fish hook.

Honestly, man, I'm going to be honest with you. She looks stank. So I thought fish. So I don't know why my mind went to fish. You know what she don't look like she got a fishy odor

about her? A little bacterial vaginosis. A little stinky. Yeah, that's all. A little stinky. A little poo-poo. That's all. A little dirty pimple.

She did steal two hair color kits, two drill batteries, and some shampoo. And then she said a few random items. That's what made me say fish hooks. All right. BET, we'll see y'all tomorrow. Peace, BET. Now, Charlamagne asked this question. two drill batteries and some shampoo and then it said a few random items that's what made me say fishhooks alright BET

our team talk and I heard I just heard the question where do old hoes go okay so let's open up the phone lines it just got me to thinking

where do old hoes go because we all know the old hoes 800 because we knew them when they was young. 585. Where are they now?

105.1. Where are they now? What are they doing? Church. Okay. I'm sure, listen. Listen, I'm sure they've evolved. You know, just because they used to pop that thing for $40 back and they don't mean nothing.

Some of them your mamas. Some of them your mamas. They got daughters. Some of the new hoes. Go talk to their mama. You'll see the apple don't fall too far from the tree. Talk to the hoes. I hate y'all.

All right, let's talk. 800-585-1051. Come on. All of y'all know. Y'all out there right now thinking to yourself, damn. Is it all hoes go to heaven? No, boy. All dogs go to heaven.

I'm sorry. 800-585-1051. Well, all male. That's true. They're called male hoes dogs. So, yeah. What the hell is that? You want to turn Charlamagne into a hoe?

Turn it up a little bit. Come on now. Turn it up a little bit. Come on now. Turn it up a little bit. 800-585-1051. We about to pay a little bit of it. We about to play?

Where do old hoes go is the question. Let it ride. There we go. Turn it up a little bit. Rich Baby Daddy. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us uh charlamagne had a question. It's not me.

I told you we was in the control room and I was talking to our team and they asked the question, where do all old hoes go? I think it's on TikTok, right? It's something happening on TikTok. This is a question that's being asked. Where do old hoes go?

Yeah, and I'm realizing that it must be young people asking this question because old folks, we know where the old hoes go. You know what? That could be a good thing because if some of the young hoes want to know what happened when they become older, they want to know where they should be going.

Well, the truth of the matter is young hoes just grow up to be old hoes. And what happens to the old hoes is life happens. They end up having kids. You know, some of them go to college. Like, we act like just the term hoe has such a negative connotation right so when you think oh i don't know what you think but hoes are people too okay and they go to college and they get degrees or they go out there and they get good jobs and they live lives like truth to the matter is and you don't want to hear this your mama probably was a hoe but you ain't

never had a conversation with her to see what her sex life was like you know i mean back in the day i'd be awkward i had a life grandma had a life you know what i mean and i know we got to be fair and say that men are definitely hoes too but we know it's a double status we only talk about you know the women right now so the reality is hoes are everywhere hoes make the world go around there's hoes that are you know running fortune 500 companies they're in the c-suites you know what i mean there's holes in the church you know there's holes that you know own the local grocery stores like that like what i hate saying the term holes but i would say church right and the reason being is because when you get a little older you want to kind of repent for all the wholism that you did right good or bad yeah you done gave it to everybody so now you won't give it to god there you go yeah

yeah you gave it up to everybody but now you got to give it to the lord give it to that's right lord the only one you ain't gave it up to jesus christ let's go to the phone we got tatiana on the line tatiana good morning good morning how are you empty tatiana how old are you tatiana what's up tatiana how old are you well i'm 24 okay i don't know if you old enough to have this conversation.

Damn. What? How old is she? Yeah, she's 53, but she likes the applicants. She likes them 24 or younger. Oh, okay, so she never stopped honing. She never stopped. She's still 24 or younger. Oh, okay. So she never stopped hoeing? She never stopped. She's still out here.

I bet you she's young. I bet she got a young youthful energy to her, too, at 50-something. She's doing. She's looking for anybody that's listening. By the way, I want y'all to know 50-something ain't old, but it's coming from a 45-year-old man. I said 53, Charlamagne. 53 ain't old. 53 ain't old.

So you're basically saying... 53. So you're trying to say old hoes don't retire. They still hoeing. They still out here, man. Salute to your grandma. Okay. God bless her.

I hope she hoe until she got to take her dentures out to s***. What? Hello, who's this? Thomas from Brooklyn. Thomas, good morning. What's up, man? Where do all the old hoes go, Thomas? All old hoes go to heaven, man.

Now, if you're just joining us, Charlamagne came with this question. Where do the old hoes go? I did not come with that question. The youngins got a question.

Clearly, this is something that's happening because the youngins on our team was talking about something that's being asked on TikTok. So the young folks on TikTok is wondering where the old hoes go. So I guess that what I'm thinking is that you got a bunch of young being asked on TikTok. So the young folks on TikTok is wondering where the old hoes go. So I guess that what I'm thinking is that you got a bunch of young hoes on TikTok

questioning their life choices now, and they just want to know what happens as they get older. That's what I think is going on here. You know, and one of our producers says, hey, the girl that called that's 24 and her grandma is 53. What do I mean? Her granny ain't the only hoe. You're not a hoe just because you had a child young.

I didn't say that. I'm just telling you what one of our producers said. But the producer said, well, what about the mama? And I think when we say hoe, we mean people that are sexually liberated, sexually free, you know. And the word hoe is like the slang term for that. Okay. Nicole. Good morning.

Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, Nicole. Good morning. Nicole, so the question is, where do the old hoes go? I need to know how old you are first, Nicole. I am 40 years old. Okay, so you're an old hoe. She ain't got to be an old hoe.

You don't know if she hoeing or not. Are you an old hoe? Talk to us, Nicole. I am not an old hoe. However, I'm very experienced. Okay. Now, gentlemen, my opinion is that old lawyers are male and female. I think some of them go on to be very successful individuals that influence the world.

That's right. They could be military commanders. They can be business owners. Or they could be radio production hosts. Right, Salome? That's right. That's facts. You're right.

Thank you, Nicole. Where are you from, Nicole? Hold on, hold on. Where are you from, Nicole? I'm from Holland, but I live in New Jersey now. Okay. We don't know each other, do we? Uh-oh.

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.

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 this social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us.

This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. All right. Now, last night, Taylor Swift premiered the tour film for her Eris tour yesterday. And a lot of people came out. Guess who came out, Charlamagne?

The queen herself. Don't ask me. Why are you asking me? Like, I don't know. You shouldn't be asking. I don't know if you know. Of course I know. Beyonce came out to support Taylor Swift.

Oh, I didn't know. Wellyonce came out to support taylor swift i didn't know well beyonce came out to support taylor swift she sat in the front row of the empty movie theater and they uh i guess watched the film the movie theater empty if it's a premiere i guess maybe they did two premieres so one picture for just beyonce i think so that's what they made it seem like all right now taylor you better return the favor when beyonce's movie comes out that's right okay when beyonce's movie comes out and you know she has her premiere you, you better return the favor when Beyonce's movie comes out. That's right. Okay, when Beyonce's movie comes out and she has her premiere, you and her better be the only person in the theater. Where was Blue? I know Blue had to be there, right?

I don't know. Well, Beyonce is set to release her own tour film for Renaissance, of course, and that's going to happen December 1st. You're not going to read what Taylor Swift said about Beyonce? How she wouldn't be nothing without Beyonce? You want to read it, girl? I don't have it. Okay. Well, Taylor Swift said, I wouldn't be without Beyonce beyonce you want to be the girl i don't have it okay well uh taylor swift said i'm i wouldn't be without beyonce i'm so glad i'll never know what my life would

have been without beyonce's influence the way she's taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms her generosity of spirit her resilience and versatility she's been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairy tale. Thank you so much. I love you. I love Blue. I love Hov.

And one day, I hope we can do an album together. I don't know why you think Taylor Swift sounds like that. I don't know. She didn't say anything about the album together,

but that's what she pretty much said. See? Don't lying feel good? When you just lie to people? Yes, it does people especially when you're just doing these rumors and stuff it's all lies a lot of it is just lies anyways just add your own sauce to it no and then it feels good when you hear somebody else repeating a lie that you done told oh come on give me one of me add some sauce to it okay now uh genie my reveal she's taking a break from social media to heal she says sometimes you need to take a break and disconnect to heal.

Go. Well, you know, Jeezy's old life. We all know what his old life was. We know Trapper died and, you know, we know the whole BMF era. What you may not know, Jeannie Mai's trying to get into that life. Oh, she wants to hustle. Yes. And, you know, so it's kind of like Ghost and Tasha.

So it's like Jezy want to go you know straight tasha still won't be about that life oh yeah i don't know if y'all knew that so jeannie maz is upset and that's why it's not working because she wants to go back to the trap that's what i'm telling yes yes and since jeezy wants to get out of the trap they're not seeing i don't know jeannie still got the bricks at her auntie house oh she still got that's what i'm saying that's her mama house and the yams are still at her auntie's house. Oh, she still got the bricks at her mama's house. That's what I'm saying. The yams are still at her auntie's house.

That's what I'm trying to tell y'all. That's what I'm trying to tell y'all. Makes sense. Makes sense. So, you know, I understand why they might have had to grow apart. You didn't hear that from me. Okay. Now, here's another one.

Now, Cam'ron thinks that Russell Wilson should leave Sierra to be a better athlete. Let's listen. I have too much more to say. Sean Payton, you tried. Russell Wilson, get rid of your girl. That's the only suggestion I got for you. Yo, man, that's wild. He can't get rid of Sierra.

He want to win. He want to win. That's what I told you, right? Listen, it's two things. It depends on what kind of ring you want. Yeah, what kind of ring you want. Do you want the ring for marriage? Or do you want the Super Bowl ring?

Spin it. I mean, there's no spin to that. You know, you don't get rid of Sierra. You know, Sierra is going to be around way after the football career is over. You know, your family is going to be around way after your football career is over. So you never trade true love for sports. You don't trade true love for anything.

You never sacrifice personal joy or professional joy because personal joy is very, very, very hard to attain. I agree. Why are you looking
