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?

what's going on. So we went to St. Augustine's, we went to Hampton, we went to Howard.
This weekend, we had FAMU in Tallahassee. I got a chance to kick it with the football team
yesterday. And I made a mistake. I went in the locker room, spoke to them, and I stepped on
the Rattler. I guess they have a logo and you're not supposed to step on it.
And I stepped on the Rattler.
And boy, did they scream at me.
And I had to do push-ups.
I had to do 25 push-ups, you know, in front of everybody in the football team.
Anybody who steps in that.
It was no struggle.
But they definitely got me.
So shout to FAMU.
I'll see you some more today.
I'm really enjoying the college run, man.
HBCU run.
So shout to all the HBCUs out there. Why would you step on a Rattler, bro? I didn't do it on purpose. I'll see you some more today. I'm really enjoying the college run, man, HBCU run. So shout to all the HBCUs out there.
Why would you step on their rattler, bro?
I didn't do it on purpose.
I was walking in the locker room.
Think about when opposing teams, you know, go step on people's logos or people's, you know,
mascots that's on the field.
The teams, the other teams don't like that.
That's a sign of disrespect.
Well, why didn't you tell me that yesterday?
I thought you knew.
You ain't never watched football.
I did, but I didn't think about it.
It's the locker room. I don't do it on the field. Goodness gracious. Don't you always me that yesterday? I thought you knew. You ain't never watched football. I did, but I didn't think about it. It's the locker room.
I don't do it on the field.
Goodness gracious.
You always disrespect the Dallas Cowboys star.
You know what I mean?
Go step on it.
I think about when Kyrie Irving stepped on the Celtics logo.
Was it the Celtics logo?
Yeah, the Celtics logo.
Yeah, man.
Well, I didn't think about it.
But they started, yeah, yeah, yeah. They started shooting me with their fake guns.
Like, you got to do us 25 push-ups. And guns. Like, you got to do 25 push-ups.
And, you know, I had to do 25 push-ups.
So.

You got about 21.

Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Well, why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh, my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha.
And I go by the name Q Ward.
And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher.
That's right. We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people,
but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.
Think of it as a black show for non-black people.
We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence, and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home,
workplace, and social circle. Exactly. Whether you're black, Asian, white, Latinx, indigenous,

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shanker, 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 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. Hey there, my little creeps.
It's your favorite ghost host, Teresa.
And guess what?
Haunting is back, dropping just in time for spooky season.
Now, I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane,
wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories.
Well, wonder no more, because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready
for you. Let's just say things
get a bit extra.
We're talking spirits, demons, and
the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make
your spooky season complete.
You know how much I love this time of year.
It's the one time I'm actually on trend.
So grab your pumpkin spice,
dust off that Ouija board,
just don't call me unless it's urgent.
And tune in for new episodes every week.
Remember, the veils are thin, the stories are spooky,
and your favorite ghost host is back and badder than ever.
Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right.
That was Riri with Lift Me Up.
What you guys think?
That sounded very hard for me.
And I know when the movie comes out, I'm sure.
I don't know where that's at in the film.
Maybe at the end.
I don't know.
I got to see the film.
But, yeah, that song sounded very powerful to me.
Yeah, I can't wait to see the movie, I'm sure. But alright.
Ye, what you think? Yeah, didn't they say
on Thames Road, first of all, I love a Rihanna ballad
always, and I know they
said this was a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, and
Thames are saying it's kind of a tribute to people
we've lost as well,
so I get the feels.
Alright, well, let's get into some
front page news.
All right.
Man, that song was powerful.
All right.
Now, in Thursday night football, last night, the Ravens beat the Buccaneers 27-22.
What's going on with Brady, bro?
He's 97 years old.
What are you talking about?
Eventually, father time is going to catch up. He don't really have a lot of great pieces around him. What are you talking about? Eventually, Father Tom is going to catch up.
He don't really have a lot of great pieces around him.
Like, what do you mean?
He's 103 years old.
You're asking, what's wrong with Tom Brady?
He want to be home.
He might be potentially going through a divorce.
If you believe all of these stories, all of this stuff going on in his household,
come on, man.
Ben Tom Brady should have hung it up after he won the Super Bowl two years ago.
Well, game one of the World Series is tonight, 8.03 p.m.
Phillies versus the Astros.
The Nets lost again.
They lost to the Mavericks 129-125.
And the Warriors beat the Heat last night 123-110.
What else we got, Yeezy?
All right.
Well, let's talk about Elon Musk.
He has taken control of Twitter and fired the top executives there.
You know, that's a 44 billion dollar deal. Now, there's been some uncertainty about what was going on.
I remember he tried to get out of the deal, but now he has acknowledged the takeover in a tweet.
He said the bird is freed. So there was supposed to be a trial that was originally set to take place earlier this month.
But because he did take over and now has immediately fired some of the top executives,
including the CFO, the CEO, the policy head.
He is planning to rethink Twitter's content moderation policies.
He wants more of a free speech approach.
He also does not believe that there should be permanent bans for people who repeatedly violate its rules.
So they're thinking that some people who have been banned previously
might be able to reemerge.
Some controversial users could be back on the platform.
You know, elections are coming up.
So this could really play a key role in what happens there
and what information is spreading when it comes to elections.
What does free speech mean in 2022?
Because I still feel like, you know, you need to regulate dangerous misinformation
and you definitely need to regulate bullying of some sort.
So what does free speech mean in 2022?
Because I feel like, you know, we're speaking freely right now,
but we're still on a platform that has rules and regulations.
Just like we have broadcasters on television.
They speak freely, but they're on a platform that has rules and regulations.
I still feel like for a platform as big as Twitter, you still need some type of rules and regulations.
Well, free speech isn't free.
And, I mean, we all do know there's things that can get us canceled.
I mean, there's things that if you say that in the Bible will get you canceled.
So free speech is absolutely positively not free.
Well, I don't like the word canceled.
I just like to say that free speech will definitely cost you something.
Correct.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't like to use that word canceled. But free speech will definitely cost you something. Correct. You know what I mean? Like, I don't like to use that word canceled,
but free speech will definitely cost you something.
There's a price to your words.
But I'm just saying, like, what is that in 2022?
Well, that means
you can harass and bully people
and spread false information if you so
choose, and if there's repercussions from that,
then
there will be, but it won't be from Twitter.
Yeah, that's what it feels like.
It feels like that's what they're saying.
Like, look, we're going to give you permission to say whatever you want,
however you want, whenever you want,
and not worry about the consequences of it.
But you will have consequences.
Right.
Right, and so it's unclear right now how far he's taking this whole free speech
that he wants to do,
but there is going to be some type of loosening
of existing content moderation policies.
And we shall see.
You know, Twitter was one of the first places
to ban Donald Trump when he was president
and then right after the January 6th Capitol riots.
And so a lot of people did then kind of have a ripple effect from that.
But Twitter was the first one to do that.
So he might even want Donald Trump back on Twitter.
We don't know.
All right.
And that is your front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Again, 800-585-1051.

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

Get it off your chest what's
up man just want to say happy you know good morning to everybody saw the main angel v what's
up i just wanted to talk about the twitter situation man to be honest like that whole
free speech call we all know there ain't gonna be no free speech that's what they say at first
but you know how these white people do they They want to limit everything. Well, honestly, man, if you mean regulate, yeah, I do think they do need to regulate it.
Because I'm going to tell you what you're going to see in the future.
In the future, you're going to see a whole bunch of broadcasters and a whole bunch of people in debt
because they got sued for something that they couldn't even stand on.
They got sued for something that wasn't factual.
They got sued for putting lies and disinformation out on Twitter.
We're going to see a lot more of that.
You're seeing it now with the Alex Jones and the
Cardi B case, but you're going to see a lot more of that
in the future. So they need some rules and regulations
to protect people from themselves, bro.
They do the same thing with the elections. They do the same thing with
elections. They tell you one thing, the next thing you
know, boom. It's all different stories.
Well, that ain't the same, but we get what you're saying.
We get what you're saying, bro. Thank you.
I'm telling you, man, sometimes you got to save people from themselves, bro.
The beauty that we have, we came up in radio.
We understand the rules and regulations, the things we can and can't do,
and we still get, you know, punched in our mouth sometimes.
So imagine the person that has none, no rules, no regulations,
and think they can do and say whatever.
Oh, my God.

Now, Miss Ye, I got a couple of movies for you.
I know you like movies. Okay. I've been trying to find something to get you scared, but I got you'all. Now, Miss Ye, I got a couple of movies for you. I know you like horror films.
I know you're trying to find something to get you scared, but I got you.
Okay.
All right, I'm ready.
Dash Cam, that's the first one.
It's on Hulu.
Write that down.
It's called Dash Cam.
It's trippy as hell.
I think I, did I see?
Oh, no, no, I didn't see that.
Okay, Dash Cam on Hulu.
You didn't see that.
I'm pretty sure you didn't.
Otherwise, you would have been talking about it.
You need to watch that one.
That one's crazy, okay?
And then on Netflix, there's a little show.
It's called Cabinet of Curiosities.
I just started watching that.
That one is super trippy, too.
It's like a whole bunch of, like, hour-long stories and whatnot.
And they're crazy.
They're super freaky.
I think it might get you on the edge of your seat.
So definitely check those out.
All right, I'm going to watch it.
Yeah.
You know what makes me not watch a horror movie right away?
If it's rated PG or PG-13, I'd be like, ah, I just can't be destined.
It's rated R.
Both of them are rated R, so you should be straight.
And then, Sharla.
Yes, sir.
What's the Sharla name?
I really, what happened, man?
I really don't know why those people took your show away from you, like the original name.
I like the original name, brother.
I don't know if you can talk about it or not. Maybe cough twice
if you can't. But I definitely
appreciate it. I've talked about it a million times.
Ah, okay. Well, yeah, because I missed that one,
bro. I appreciate the name. I don't know why
they made you change it. Well, listen, man.
They made the changes because they feel like Hell of a Week
reads like more of a weekly
late-night talk show.
And by the looks of the ratings this season,
I have to say that they're right.
Okay. Okay. I have to say that they're right so you know what they were talking about
I'll give you that
Envy last one for you brother

You can call me what you want to call me.
You can call me what you want to call me, but I'm DJ Envy, sir.

Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.

What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

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 iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you listen to podcasts.
Morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West.
This is The Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it
that it's The Breakfast Club.
All right, I know y'all are sick and tired of this, but Quentin Tarantino was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night,
and he was responding to claims from Kanye West that he and Jamie Foxx stole his idea for Django Unchained.
Here's what he had to say.
And Tarantino said there's no truth to the idea
that Kanye West came up with the idea of Django.
He said he had the idea before a while,
before he ever met Kanye.
And he went on to say that Kanye did have an idea
for a video for Gold Digger.
He said that he would be a slave.
And the whole thing was the slave narrative
where he's a slave and he's singing Gold Digger.
And it was very funny.
However, being a slave in the video seemed to be the only similarity.
He said it was supposed to be ironic.
But that's what Quentin Tarantino is responding to.
Here's what Kanye West said originally on Piers Morgan.
Do you believe there are limits to free speech?
And if they are, what are they?
There are no limits to free speech.
It's all context, right?
Tarantino can write a movie about slavery where actually him and Jamie, they got the idea from me because the idea for Django, I pitched to Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino as the video for Gold Digger.
And then Tarantino turned into a film.
But in that film, he puts a context.
He creates a context where Leonardo DiCaprio is allowed to use the word multiple times within that context.
So Hollywood's job is to frame things and they allow what context, what content is accepted and what's not.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
We do know there's a difference between rhetoric in movies and rhetoric in real life, not to mention Django was a period piece.
That's why Leonardo DiCaprio was saying the n-word in that movie he was a slave owner we do know the difference right I'm not trippin I hope we do it's
a you know what though also to man at what point do folks you know in the
media have to stop entertaining like these irrational thoughts coming from
mr. yay like I know you can't help anyone
who doesn't want to help themselves, but at some point
folks have to stop entertaining this dysfunction
and at least attempt to get that man some
help, right?
I agree. I think Quentin Tarantino
probably wanted to, you know,
I don't think he said anything negative about him.
He was just saying that
that was not where he got the
idea from Django
that he actually had the idea way before he met
Kanye. So I don't think
there's anything wrong with that. And he also did say
Kanye did have an idea for the Gold Digger video
that had to do with that, but that was
the only similarity. So I don't see anything
wrong with him clearing up himself.
Yeah, I'm not talking about that. You gotta ask
if you Jimmy Kimmel or whoever interviewed him. I'm just talking
about in the whole totality of what's going on.
At what point do folks in the media have to stop entertaining these irrational thoughts coming from Mr.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, hopefully no more interviews.
Everybody just let him know because it sparks.
It sparks likes.
It sparks headlines.
It puts you on the blogs and social media.
That's why people are doing these interviews.
Come on.
Let's be clear.
Amen. I just pray that brother gets some real healing because I've been telling you all for weeks. It puts you on the blogs and social media. That's why people are doing these interviews. Come on, let's be clear. Hey, man.
I just pray that brother gets some real healing because I've been telling y'all for weeks he's moving like somebody who doesn't plan to be around much longer.
Like the man's been talking about people coming to get him for the past few weeks.
He's been threatening.
He's been saying that people are threatening to kill him.
He's burnt his entire empire to the ground on purpose.
And y'all think that's normal behavior?
People believe he did that on purpose,
that he can be free from all his contracts without paying a dime.
That's what they're saying.
What you just said, Envy, is so on point,
because it's like people are sitting around and watching this plane crash, and they're making up rational scenarios, right?
But the real scenario is like, hey, man, that man's moving.
He's moving like someone who doesn't plan to be around much longer.
Somebody needs to intervene, you know?
The real scenario is like that.
Nobody wants to talk about it, but we want to have stupid conversations about it.
No, he's planning all of this.
This is all part of his master plan.
Like, come on, man.
Y'all see that plane crashing.
Stop it.
All right.
And SNL star Chris Redd, he was attacked outside of the Comedy Cellar.
And it appears he was targeted by two men who seemed to be waiting for him.
And they came up out of nowhere.
They actually stole his chain.
And according to reports, they also had brass knuckles.
And so he was hit in the face and ended up having to go to the hospital.
He had two black eyes, a huge gash on his nose, which required stitches.
He was hospitalized and then released shortly thereafter.
The men were dressed as security guards. They had
masks covering their faces.
The attacker who approached him and hit him with brass knuckles
was heavyset. The other man was standing across
the street. They said he appeared to be casing
the area. Oh, this is personal, personal.
This wasn't no random, let's just take his chain.
This was, he knows who did that.
That's what it seems like.
That seems like somebody personal.
Somebody, he said something to him, was like, I'm gonna get you back, or somebody he pissed off. That's not it seems like. That seems like somebody personal. Like, you know, somebody, he said something to him
was like, I'm gonna get you back
or somebody he pissed off.
Like, that's not no random act.
No, what you just said,
they were dressed like security guards.
They were casing the area out.
And I mean, it's not like Chris Redd
don't have a familiar face.
He's on Saturday Night Live every weekend.
He's got his show Bust Down on Peacock on NBC.
So, I mean, he might have looked like a target,
especially the people that were casing the area.
Dressed like security guards? Yeah, that's what makes
me seem like it was... Come on, that doesn't sound random.
I didn't say it was random. I said that sounds personal.
That sounds like somebody was like, oh, we gonna get him.
I mean, that doesn't sound random.
Well, apparently, moving forward,
Chris Redd is feeling like, I gotta start
moving with some security. Absolutely.
Yeah, Chris.
And that is your rumor report.
I'm just glad that brother's okay.
I mean, because it could have been a lot worse.
Thank God he's okay.
Yes, Chris.
Yes, you definitely need security, bro.
You somebody and you got something.
When you work something, you got to protect it.
Yes, Chris.
Go get security.
All right.
Well, we got front page news.
Next, what we talking about?
Let's talk about Delonte West.
He's been arrested and booked on multiple charges.
All right. Well, we'll get to that next. Can we been arrested and booked on multiple charges. All right.
Well, we'll get to that next.
Can we get on Riri?
We got Riri ready, locked and loaded.
All right.
Well, let's get on Riri.
Front page news is next.
It's The Breakfast Club.

at hbomax.com. Buccaneers 27-22. All right. I don't know what's going on with Tom Brady and his team, but they're getting it.
Could y'all stop that?
Tom Brady is 97 and three-fourths years old.
All right.
Okay.
That man should have retired two years ago after he won that Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Not to mention, you know, they talk about his home life.
He's going through a lot, right?
So it's like, come on, man.
Father time eventually catches up.
He's just mentally and
emotionally not with us right now you can see that clearly well game one of the world series
starts tonight at 803 philly's uh versus houston astros so um good luck to both teams there and
also uh cowboy fans looks like you lost one charlamagne would you like to join lebron james
and leaving uh leaving as a Cowboy fan? No.
Well, this is the audio.
LeBron saying he's no longer a cowgirl, a cowboy, whatever you want to call it, fan.
But I heard you talk about the Cowboys in a long, I mean, maybe since like 1997 or something.
You still a Cowboys fan?
Nah, man.
I had to spill out on the Cowboys, man. Like, a lot of things that was going on during the, you know,
when guys were kneeling and, you know, guys would have, you know, freedom of speech and wanted to do it in a very peaceful, you know, manner.
And, you know, a lot of people in their front office
and a lot of people that, you know, ran the organization was like,
you know, if you do that around here,
then you would never play, you know, for this franchise again.
And, you know, I just didn't think that was appropriate.
Makes total sense. I like a lot of the
players on the team still. So now you're all in
on the Browns. I'm all in on the Browns
and you know,
one shining
moment. Okay. Alright.
Well, LeBron James is no longer a Cowboys
fan. Wow.
He left us the way his hairline left him.
And I can make that joke because I don't have a hairline
either. My hairline left a long time ago.
By the way, that's no reason to not
be a Cowboy fan anymore.
That's no reason to not be a Cowboy fan
anymore because by that logic, you wouldn't
watch the whole NFL. The whole NFL
allegedly
blackballed Colin Kaepernick. Remember when people
were saying they were going to boycott the NFL
because of all those issues Bron named?
You don't give up on one franchise
because of that. You give up on the league.
Well, LeBron did.
LeBron did?
Yeah, LeBron.
He also revealed that his show, The Shop, is going to be part of
the Thursday Night Football stream on Prime Video
for the November 17th game between the Tennessee
Titans and the Green Bay Packers, just so you
guys know.
Alright, now let's talk about Delonte West. Unfortunately, he was arrested and booked
on multiple charges, including public intoxication. Police in Fairfax County, Virginia were called to
a parking lot after witnesses claimed they saw him trespassing inside of a vehicle. According
to authorities, when they tried to intervene, he became aggressive as they tried to detain him and then he fled they did find him ultimately detained and booked him on four
criminal charges including vehicle trespassing entering a vehicle fleeing from law enforcement
and public intoxication he was however released from custody so this is all in the midst of him
trying to work on making a basketball comeback in the big three
league and they said he had been in training uh they also said he had been speaking to kids at
an academy in maryland the rock basketball pat the rock based basketball academy and
giving out advice on basketball uh hopefully he does also get everything that he needs
yeah i hate seeing situations like that i hate seeing brothers like that go to jail because jail is not going to do anything for
that brother.
That brother don't need to be in jail.
That brother need to be in a facility getting help for his mental and emotional well-being.
Like the brother clearly has mental health disorders like jail is not the place for him
and releasing him from custody to do what?
Go right back to not getting help for his issues like that brother needs to be somewhere
getting help.
Yeah, I agree on that one.
All right.
And,
and Senate majority leader,
Chuck Schumer was caught on the hot mic talking about,
uh,
the elections.
He said the state where we're going downhill is Georgia.
He was on the tarmac with the president and also New York's governor,
Kathy Hoko and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in New York.
And it was filmed by the Washington post.
He said,
it's hard to believe that they would go for Herschel Walker.
He also was talking about midterm election races in other places.
He said it looks like the debate didn't hurt us too much in Pennsylvania.
That's when John Fetterman was up against Dr. Oz.
He said, so that's good.
Fetterman does continue to have a two-point lead over Oz,
and he also sounded optimistic about Nevada's Senate election
between incumbent Democratic Senate Catherine Cortez Masto
and Republican Adam Lacktate.
He said, we're picking up steam in Nevada.
So that was all caught on the hot mic.
We're in a world where politicians, seasoned politicians,
are having trouble with athletes and celebrities in these races.
What does that say about the Democratic
Party?
Yes, indeed.
How weak is the Democratic Party
that they're having problems with
Hershel Walker and Georgia
and Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania?
Let's start to think about that.
How weak is the Republican Party that they are
going to vote for Hershel Walker
no matter what, even though two women have come
forward showing what a hypocrite that he
is based on the things that he says
that he stands for and calling the women
skanks. I'm about to start writing.
They winning.
What is weak about that?
The Republicans who will vote for whoever
and put their muscle behind anybody no matter what their morals are.
Because Republicans just want to win, and they want to put people in a position that's going to do their bidding.
And being that they move as a unified front all the time, unlike the Democrats, their base just knows all we got to do is get a Republican in.
That's why.
Because the Republican Party, for whatever reason, is stronger than the Democratic Party.
They stick together. They stand with
each other. Absolutely.
Stronger than the Democratic Party for whatever reason.
I'm about to run next year.
Democrats definitely tear each other
down all the time. Republicans don't even
care if you do anything right or wrong.
They're going to stand by you. They ride with each other.
They want to win.
I saw Stacey Abrams say
recently she said that a lot of candidates are suffering because of the overall feeling people have of the Democratic Party.
And she said it's not that they have a lack of enthusiasm in the candidates.
They just have a lack of trust in the whole party.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Now, when we come back, we have a California rapper, Bay rapper, LaRussell joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with LaRussell when we come back, we have California rapper, Bay rapper, LaRussell joining
us this morning. We're going to kick it with LaRussell when we come back.
He gets busy. He's nice, and
he's going to talk about his independency
and how he continues to make money and all that.
So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey!
Power 105.1
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
We got a special guest in the building.
LaRusso, welcome back.
Man, my guy.
What's up, my brother?
How you feeling?
Last time he came, he was on the block for a hot minute game,
and he dropped like a good 40
balls, 60 balls and then got out of the dog.
60 point game, man.
Come on.
Yeah.
You got the new project out.
I don't even like to say you got a new project out because I feel like you drop every week.
You know, we got to.
I hate when life's going great.
Yeah.
What's this?
Number 21?
Number 21.
Why so much music?
Why not?
Okay.
You right. Why so much music? Why not? Okay, you're right.
Why not?
What makes this one more special than the other 20, though?
I think they're all special in their own way
because they're different time stamps in my life and in my journey.
This one is very reflective of my current process
and just going through the journey of success
and navigating what I've been going through.
So it's just special because it's in this moment.
It's now.
We'll never get now again.
Now, you also talk so much about being independent and the value of that.
Come on.
And starting your own businesses.
We know you have a good company, but you do have a deal.
What's the deal with Russ?
So I have a partnership with Russ, a 50-50 profit split.
And that's for one project, which I'll probably deliver at the top of next year.
And he's just going to, you know, do what he do best and I do what I do best and deliver
music.
But yeah, it's partnered and split down.
What made you do that partnership?
Oh, this is not the one?
I thought this was the album.
No, no.
This is a different one, right?
This is a different one.
We got a lot of music.
Yeah, we got a whole lot of it.
We got a whole lot of it.
You said what?
What made you partner up with him, man? He was just early in and very resourceful and just, you know, he showed a lot of love early and appreciation.
And being that he went through this process, he understood what I needed more than the majors.
Like they weren't offering me what I actually needed to get to this level.
Right. It was it was too much. It would have been restricting.
I dropped 15 albums
just from the period of me going viral till now if i would have signed to a label i probably would
only got three out and maybe they would have got a bigger push but maybe not you know so it was like
they were stifling what i was actually trying to accomplish and he was very hands off most people
when you sign a deal you can only release music under that deal i've been
releasing me everything i've been releasing since then i've i've owned completely so i'm just still
able to do my thing but is it lucrative because you know you drop so much music right do people
get a chance to really ride to it and understand it and sit with it and live with it or is it
it's almost like it happens so much if you sell 10 products you know versus one during a period of time of course it's
lucrative because i get paid in the perpetuity i own it for the rest of my life i'd rather be
getting paid rent from 10 houses than just one you hear that real estate man i want to come to
real estate yeah absolutely exactly you rather have one creative man you were 10 of them you
know i have 21 but do people get to
digest it enough like you know because you sit with music but sometimes music like sometimes
when artists have too many tracks on the album you don't really get to get to track 26 you know
i mean because you you know i think it depends on how great the music is the people who who want to
digest it does and the people who don't don't. You know, my thing is I'm never worried about that.
I'm just creating from my heart.
I'm not really creating with the idea of can you digest this or not?
This is just what I'm feeling and I'm sharing it.
You can either accept it or not.
It's a different day and age, too, where artists have a lot more freedom
because I think there's so many more resources and ways
to just reach people directly and not have to go through a whole system to get that done definitely and it's beautiful so this last album we actually sold prior
to releasing to dsps through a platform called even and i sold it direct to my fans we sold
4 000 albums and did 100k in revenue prior to even coming out most artists would have to wait
for dsps and wait for streaming to make that amount through streaming you'd have to stream 25 million times and streaming pays quarterly so you
wouldn't get that i wouldn't see what i made until next year probably if i had to rely on streaming
can we it would be interesting to see what an nba young boy would have done if he was gonna be
insane he puts out as much music as you do he doing if any of them drake kendrick co any of them
run this play the way i've ran it they'd make far times more and they should like you should buy the
art from the artist there's no reason you should want a larusso product but gotta go somewhere else
to get it it's like my shows we sell our own ticket and if you want to see larusso you have
to talk to larusso can we talk about your growth as a human being and as an artist and how that's reflected in your music,
even in your name, using your real name now?
Completely.
I'm just able to speak on things I wasn't able to prior
because I didn't have the knowledge or the insight
or the information or the emotional intelligence.
Like, a lot of people hit me about certain songs.
They're like, man, this was exactly how I'm feeling.
A lot of us are feeling these things,
but we can't express it because we don't have the ability so you know as i've grown as a as a person
i've just been able to express more and the music has gotten better just because it's closer to home
it's realer that's one of the things i love about you the fact that you are able to talk about your
the traumas you've experienced but more importantly the the healing you've received when did that
journey start when did you start getting that language when you start doing that work on yourself
man i was working at this job called utc and i sat across from this girl named rita and what is
utc first of all it's like an aerospace company okay and they do a lot of contracting for military
different stuff but i was working across from this uh lady named rita she was from singapore and uh like her english was broken so people didn't used to really talk to her much but i was working across from this uh lady named rita she was from singapore
and uh like her english was broken so people didn't used to really talk to her much but i
used to chop it up with her and one day she gave me this book called uh the freedom simplified
it was a short read but that changed my life it's kind of like buddhist texts just like life
principles and that was the first time i read in a long time i used to be like i'm not reading
because in high school i always had to read you know stuff based
on school that wasn't interesting but that just shook me up I went on Amazon
end up buying hella books after that and it just start slowly growing I start
getting around people who had similar thoughts and the homies start pouring
into me and just life through experience just naturally growing and learning more
oh so you never
went to therapy or anything like that i just recently started going to therapy uh and uh
i don't know if it's for me and i don't know if i'm getting uh i feel like i had an expectation
going into it and you know that always kind of deviates the process a bit because you may not
get what you expect so i'm not sure how it is for me but i started going
recently what made you go just wanting to kind of work through some of the emotions i've been
dealing with and just kind of like uh no some days you wake up and you tired of doing trash stuff
or like being a certain way for that moment you feel me and then in the moments it's like i'm
gonna go to therapy right and, right? And then you start
and then, you know,
through that process,
you either love it or you don't.
All right, we got more
with LaRussell when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with LaRussell.
Charlamagne?
Your title of the new project, man,
it sticks out to me
just because I feel like
self-sabotaging that
and all the time.
You know,
the other shoe is about to drop or something bad is about to happen. Just embrace it. Is that what
that title signifies? Definitely. That's exactly what it is. You know, I've struggled throughout
this journey to stay on a high and not that you're supposed to stay on a high, you know,
you're supposed to kind of go up and down and stay kind of neutral. But I'm usually extreme.
I'm very high or I'm very low.
And that title is very reflective of just that process,
going through the changes that comes with success
and just all the anxiety and all the pressures that come with it as well.
It's a lot of work for you, too, the way that you operate.
It's a lot.
It's more than the average person.
But people feel like they can really connect with you.
I saw you did a pop-up show in Brooklyn and they said you were outside
greeting everybody.
Yeah,
of course.
I'm in a line,
man.
We sold out 500 tickets in eight hours.
Wow.
I literally,
well,
I was up the night before and was like,
man,
I want to do a pop-up show.
On your own platform,
right?
Yeah.
And I sold the tickets to a platform,
my own equity in
it's called what's tba black on tech and um yeah i was like i want to do a pop-up and originally we
thought it was going to be like 50 to 100 people just something light and we end up doing over 500
tickets and you do the pay what you want deal right did you do that for these shows these shows
are offer based so uh we do pay we do proud to pay shows where you could pay absolutely anything and
sometimes like at home we'll do that like right now we're doing a cafe you pay whatever words
but these exactly but these shows are offer based so you go through the site and you make an offer
on what that ticket is worth to you and we either accept or decline the offer is that lucrative
because i see you do that you do that with your mom's cafe. You do that with the merchandise. Is that lucrative? Very.
Okay.
Because you're like, so for the backyard shows, across a span of four backyard shows.
People don't know what the backyard shows.
Just explain to them what that is. So I built a residency in my backyard so we don't have to deal with the politics of the venues.
And we did four really big shows in the summer.
It was your house house.
Everybody was coming out.
This is my crib, my childhood home.
And across the four shows,
we generated about $75,000.
And it's because,
uh,
off the pergola,
only,
only 200 people can come to each show.
So off 800 people,
right.
And it's because,
uh,
when you do offer base,
you never know what you're worth to someone else,
right?
If I change your life through music,
or if you just really love La Russell,
you're going to shoot me a little bit more. know a lot of artists my size they go do shows and their ticket
price probably like 25 15 my last show the average ticket price was 75 and that's because we allow
the people to choose but that experience is worth but we also provide so much more i'm at the front
door doing wristbands after the show you
could actually talk to me at the crib my pops is cooking my mom's here so it's a different experience
you're putting the wristbands on people man i'm wristbanding people i'm doing everything i'm
kissing babies man come on are you putting them on tight so they can't slide it off and pass it
to somebody else man my fans don't even do that we don't even have to worry about it we built great
energy they with me you don't feel away with. We don't even have to worry about it. We built great energy.
They f*** with me.
You don't feel a way with people knowing where you live?
Nah, because I've lived there my whole life.
People already know where I live.
There's just more people now.
They already know.
But, I mean, what we've built is like a safekeeping hood.
Like, everybody looks out for it.
It's like, nah, this is ours.
You feel me?
So, we don't have to deal with that.
Have you had anybody, like, just pop up when it's not a show like i want to meet la russell has to be all the time
yeah yeah a couple a couple have a couple have and you know that's nothing but a trip outside
and hey don't you come around here again but i'm gonna show you that love we're gonna embrace you
i love la russell man i love him for a bunch of reasons number one number one he's a dope lyricist
very intelligent young man.
But also, it's not about what you say yes to.
It's about what you say no to.
Come on.
I saw you say no to some really, no need to say no names,
but to some really incredible shit earlier that I know would make the average young man be like,
oh, I'm absolutely doing it.
And I remember you hit me like, nah, this ain't right.
It wasn't right.
And I was like all
right that's the thing like when you don't say no later on you're gonna feel it no matter what
and you're gonna have to sit with it and i'm somebody it'll bother me it's gonna absolutely
bother me so those no's early really saved me because like i said if i would have took them
early deals i would have been hindered how long ago was that a year it hasn't been a year it's
been about a year roughly yeah it's been one year. You know, we started,
it was like 3,000 followers at that point to now almost over 500K. So it's been one year.
What are some of the stresses that you deal with, though? Like I said, it is a whole lot more work
when you do run things independently, but I understand the financial payout is greater. But what are some of the stresses? Life, just not having adequate time to cater to everyone and everything,
dealing with the emotional trauma that kind of comes with the changes that come with success,
like just the change of dynamic and relationships, not being able to do certain things. Like I
usually take my daughter to school and pick her up.
So like when I'm out and gone,
I don't get to do that and get to cultivate that situation.
And just,
yeah,
it's really the,
the time spot that stresses me most.
And just whenever I do something that's like against my soul,
I feel like I'm not being the greatest human or I didn't,
I didn't act in my best interest of a situation.
Could you see yourself doing a more long term situation, a deal, a partnership?
Yeah, definitely. But I think the way that we structure it would be kind of different than labels do deals.
So they like to do things in like four albums or five albums versus I'm somewhere where it's like if we do-term, it's like, okay, I'll release music
with you for a year or so. And we'll split back in, but I, you know, it's just, it just has to
be restructured a different way because how they do it now doesn't make sense. Like one offer,
I got offered a 360 for like 10% of a three of me. Right. But they didn't offer me a percentage
of the company, which is crazy. It's's like why would you want a percentage of mine without giving me a percentage of yours people want to sign to the
rock nations and the death jams because of the artists that was there prior but they don't have
equity in those companies but instead of the equity wouldn't they be investing in you wouldn't
they be giving you probably recent money resources access to things that you probably didn't get. Man, that's a one-time loan
for a lifetime of equity on their end.
$250,000 right now for a lifetime of equity?
That's nothing.
They can pay for the rest of their life.
Well, the label will say that
when they make an investment,
but I mean, you're different,
but when they make an investment into an artist,
they might sign 100 artists.
Nine of them we never hear about.
Whose fault is that?
What that got to do with me?
My deal ain't got, you made bad decisions.
Don't put that on me.
That ain't got nothing to do with my deal.
You feel me?
Like, nah, that's not real.
And it's like, bro, we make the product.
I don't really care what you're doing.
Like, you selling my shit.
So what would be a fair deal to you 50 50 profit
shares are fair with the proper amount of equity to establish what you're trying to create i also
don't have a problem with with people getting paid into perpetuity off of houses they help build
right but if you come into a system that's already fully established you should be assistive you
shouldn't be taken over it's different when you help build someone from the ground but if you didn't help build a house
from the ground why would you you know like they're just some things that don't make any sense
and you also practice what you preach with your business so i saw you've been uh for a while now
filming videos with artists as well and you don't charge them right you guys just do 50 50 on the back end not even 50 50 sometimes
it's less than that like i i split the back end however it makes sense to accommodate what we're
getting done so like especially with us we don't walk away with 50 because we have a whole team
that help so some of us are only getting eight to ten percent then yeah the artists get the greater
half of it because they created the product but But yeah, we don't charge anyone. We just split the back end.
No, he's really about it.
He's tried to give me splits.
I'm like, no, bro.
I don't do that.
See, but you have to.
But second, I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't take that from you anyway.
Which is crazy.
Why is it illegal?
Because it would sway what DJs play,
what personalities talk about.
I like to keep my stuff organic.
Like, if I'm talking about you, it's because I actually genuinely enjoy you.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't pay for my opinion on something.
Right, but if you talked about someone and showed them love
and then they give you equity after, how does that sway you, right?
They can't sway you because you already did the deed.
You feel me?
And I feel like you should own equity and things that you help build like
you posted me so many times that my platform grew why wouldn't you have equity in it all right we
got more with la russell when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning
back to your childhood crib when you called your moms and said mom i want to do a concert
in the backyard how was that conversation conversation? How did she reply?
Exceptional.
I said, hey, we about to build a pergola in the back.
And she grabbed the hammer.
She said, what's a pergola?
I said, you about to see.
And next thing you know, we built it up.
You know, it was a, my mom is just the realest, coolest in the world on earth.
You know, it's like whatever we say we going to do, that's what we doing.
She ain't got no issue with it.
That's dope.
And you wear Crocs like brothers in Brooklyn wear. Yeah, they on right now.
Come on.
When did that start?
Probably like 2018.
I don't even remember how I got to the Crocs.
I think my daughter's mom's sister had bought me some, like the first pair.
She had some and I was like, man, let me try them.
And I put my foot in them things
so comfortable
comfortable ever since
you should do something with or make your own Crocs
see I was thinking about that
but I really love Crocs so hopefully
they just tap in and we get to partner
they do a lot of the little things
jewelry and stuff not jewelry but whatever
that you can put on them and those do really well too
so we made our own. We actually have some.
Yep.
We got crop buttons.
We got jibbies, yep.
You know what's so crazy?
Like, I love the easy slides
and I always say,
I hope the easy slides
don't become a symbol of hate.
And every time I say that,
somebody be like,
buy Crocs,
wear the Crocs.
Right.
I'm like, what?
Now Crocs is cool
and then they got
that little piece on the back.
So if you got to move,
you got kids,
you got to move,
you just put the thing
on the back and you're out of there.
You know, it's interesting to me.
And I want to discuss this to how you look at women.
Right.
And your growth and maturity in that respect and taking accountability for things.
But also saying I'm not using the word bitch anymore to refer to my girl because a lot of people do.
Yeah, that's my bitch.
It's supposed to be a compliment.
And the intention is not supposed to be bad. But words words do matter so can you discuss your growth in that area uh a journey uh that i'm
still traveling i haven't been the best towards women like previously just throughout my journey
and sometimes even now but i think that's something that's self-reflective i don't think men
can respect women until they respect themselves and a lot of men can't respect themselves because
they don't know how they've never been respected throughout their journey in life and through their
childhood they've never been nurtured or nourished or just poured into so it's very very difficult
for you to go pouring to someone else and you don't even know what that's like.
That's real.
I mean, healed people heal people, right?
Like, you know, like if you can, the people always talk about you projecting hurt.
You can project healing as well.
Definitely.
Yeah.
You opened up your mom's cafe and that cafe is pay what you.
No, not my mom's.
It's called Momo's.
Yeah, it's called Momo's.
Oh, I thought that was your mom's cafe.
Nah.
Oh, okay.
But it's a pay what you want cafe yeah so we just
made it proud to pay to the end of the year and i just covered the bills for the next three months
so everyone can just uh go eat where is it it's in vallejo it's a place that was already there
yeah it's been there for years um it's your favorite it's one of my favorite spots to go to and the owner there is a big fan
of the platform and he just
man I tossed him an idea
earlier this year to do like a one day
brunch right and a bunch of people came out
pay what they wanted so this time
we're just in a grander position and it's like
let's make sure people can eat
I thought you bought the place
nah but next year we're actually
going to be going into partnerships.
So I just bought it out.
We know that.
Yeah, we know you love a partnership.
Yeah, I love a partnership.
Come on.
At what point do you think you'll love when life's going great?
I think that's something that could happen any day once the work is done internally.
Because life is actually exceptional right now. It's just some days I can't fully accept it because I'm still working through things that
I've done or, you know, still trying to get past things that I feel emotionally about
the past.
But once that's through, I think I'll really be able to enjoy it.
And I'm currently on that journey of just working through all that now.
I bet you it's helping you to appreciate the money more because in famous you said, you
know, money can't money can't make you rich at all
I'm very appreciative because the money is just a tool you know like it allows me to do a lot of things that I wasn't able to do like I could feed the community for the next three months now you know so money to me is just a tool I don't really um I don't really splurge or get excited about. I'm not impressed by most things.
So I'm really able to utilize this money to truly help
and cultivate my team and have my homies with me
and change my family's life.
Well, you know, we can't let you leave
without hearing some bars.
Come on.
You know, we know we got to hear some bars.
Come on.
You need a beat?
You want acapella?
What you want to do?
Let me get a beat.
Yeah, we got to send one in.
Come on. You got a beat? You want acapella? What you want to do? Let me get a beat. Yeah, we got to send one in. Come on.

Ay, witness in God work, witness in black gold

I'm getting better at it, 100k deals, still dressed like I never had it
Renovations is expensive
Flipped it five times and I still got my Crocs on

We don't do net 30s, unless it's biz credit Billion evaluation, that's where the biz headed
I heard the crown heavy, lucky I'm big headed Lucky I'm big hearted, I would've crushed again
Offer me breadcrumbs, offer me tea with it They say it's just business. I don't agree with it. Huh?
LaRusso.
Yeah.
LaRusso.
What we doing?
I want to ask LaRusso one more thing.
Because you said something in that rap that made me think of it. And I saw Drake say this the other day.
Stop the beat.
I saw Drake say this the other day.
And Drake was like, you know, people say things like,
is business never personal?
But no, it's always personal.
It's always personal.
They say it's just business.
I don't agree with it.
The way you do business is a reflection of your being.
I don't do bad business because I'm not that type of n***a.
If you're able to f*** somebody over and do bad business, that's because of who you are.
It wouldn't sit well with you if you wasn't.
Word.
Well, LaRussell, ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate you joining us.
Way to follow you, LaRussell.
Tell them we're going to follow you. Yeah, I'm, LaRussell, ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate you joining us. Way to follow you, LaRussell. Tell them way to follow you.
Yeah, I'm at LaRussell on everything.
Got good company.
It's not the same.
It's the Breakfast Club, LaRussell.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the room.
Let's talk Barack Obama.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report's going on? Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, we've been following this story about the potential Phoenix Suns ownership group that's on the way.
That's all after Robert Sarver was outed for being a racist, a sexist, and now he's selling the team altogether.
And a lot of people have been linked to this potential ownership group.
People like Shaq, Jeff Bezos have been linked to the franchise.
Now there's another person, and that person is Barack Obama.
Bill Simmons spoke to Charles Barkley about the upcoming sale of the Suns,
and he said he was told by a source close to the situation that Obama is involved involved one of the potential ownership groups that could be interesting that'd be dope yeah that'd be dope
that'd be real all right so we'll keep on following this story and 50 cent i mean it would
only make sense right because if you're a owner who you know lost a team for making racist and
sexist comments you know you should have to sell it to a black person or a woman, right?
I agree.
All right, now 50 Cent has kicked off a three-project deal,
and this is a Lucid Media partnership with Peacock.
All right, so details of the partnership and financial numbers have not been revealed yet,
but there's an article on Variety about it,
and the companies have already set up the first project under the deal.
Exact details are under wraps, but it's known to be an unscripted true crime series at Peacock that's slated to debut in 2023.
50 Cent will also executive produce the series, and he'll work with Lucid to develop two more projects under the deal.
He said, I'm excited by the kind of stories we're going to be bringing to life together and can't wait for the first project to reach Peacock next year.
Dropping the clues bombs for 50 Curtis St. Jackson.
Curtis 50 St. Jackson.
Always very inspiring what he's doing in the TV and film world.
And in more inspiration, Salt-N-Pepa.
They are going to be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I can't believe they don't have one already.
They should have been here.
That ceremony is going to take place on the morning of November 4th.
So congratulations to them.
They posted, we are honored and excited.
And once again, Variety broke this story.
So congratulations to Salt-N-Pepa.
Love those movies.
Yeah, shout out to Salt-N-Pepa.
Shout out to those movies.
I'm going to close the bar for Salt-N-Pepa.
I'm shocked they don't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame either.
I thought they had one.
All right, MC Lyte and Roxanne Chantante are going to serve as guest speakers at the ceremony
that will all be live streamed on the Walk of Fame website.
MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante need stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame too.
I don't know if they have them or not.
I just know they stink.
Why don't they have a hip-hop Walk of Fame?
You don't have one of those?
There's no place in New York where people's names are on a brick or something? You know, I was thinking that too. I was always wondering why New York didn't have a Walk of Fame. You don't have one of those? There's no place in New York where people's names are on a brick or something?
I was thinking that too. I was always wondering why
New York didn't have a Walk of Fame.
It'd be gum and dirt all over it.
I mean, it's just nasty in LA.
Rat doo-doo, pigeons pooping.
But the reality is,
since New York is the birthplace of hip-hop,
that would make the most sense for there to be
a hip-hop Walk of Fame.
Well, maybe they'll do something outside that hip-hop
museum that they're doing in the Bronx.
True. Perhaps.
Alright, Lil Wayne, he has his Louisiana
Festival lineup and he's added some new
acts to that lineup so you
can see, of course, Young Money,
Quavo and Takeoff, Cam'ron,
Rick Ross, Mellow Racks, Babyface
Ray, special guests as well.
So that should be a good one for everybody to check out.
That's going to be happening actually this Saturday.
It's back.
So they said there's a few tickets left for everybody that wants to go to that.
All right.
And Rick Ross just got a $1.5 million watch and he had it delivered by an armored vehicle.
He posted the video to his Instagram stories and you see the armored
vehicle going through the front gates of his promised land estate. There's a security guard
leading the way. Here he is. Oh, this armed delivery, huh? That's how you're doing it, huh?
Yes, sir. You got to make sure the goods are safe, ain't it? It's the biggest boss. It's that Jacob
delivery. Heavyweight. Heavyweight.
It's the biggest, man.
I wake up and tell you every morning, we got no time to waste.
Because that's the only thing we can't get back.
This is beautiful right here, Jacob.
This is beautiful, the triple tourbillon.
Hope I'm saying it right.
Salute to Rick Ross.
Rick Ross is another black man I love to see live in life.
Rick Ross enjoys his life. You hear me? Drop one of the clues bombs for Rick Ross. Rick Ross is another black man I love to see live in life. Rick Ross enjoys his
life. You hear me? Drop one of the clues bombs for Rick Ross.
Is that how you say it? Torbjorn?
I never knew how to say that.
Torbjorn? I say it the same way.
I rarely
can pronounce things that I
can't afford, but I do want to say
if you have to do all that
to deliver it, what do you do to protect
it like if it comes to your house in an armored truck with a security guard what do you do to
protect it when it's in the house well i'm sure it was just delivered from new york you know so
they couldn't send it in fedex or ups you know so they had to be delivered a certain way that
was protected i'm sure they do that with all valuables yeah but what do you do to protect
it when it's once it's in your house now?
Get it insured.
You got security, you got it insured,
but I think with anything that is delivered like that,
they definitely protect it like that.
I understand the delivery, but I'm saying,
what do you do once it's in your house?
Do you have an armed guard that watches it at all times?
I think Rosé has staff that's on his property
to make sure that his property's safe.
I pray so. Maybe put it in a
safe? Yeah.
Makes sense,
right? Alright, well, that is your rumor
reports. Alright, Charlamagne, who you giving that
donkey to? Oh, man, far after
the hour, I need the police in Bullhead
City. Bullhead City is a city in Arizona.
I need them to come to the front of the congregation
because they are simply punishing a person
for doing the right thing. We'll talk about it.
Alright, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Your mornings will never be the same.
There are so many
podcasts out right now, and it takes a
team of people to bring them together.
Whether you're hiring for a podcast or
for your growing business, one place
makes it easy.
Zip Recruiter.
And now you can try it for free at ziprecruiter.com slash breakfast. You can see donkeys, donkeys, donkeys.
What the f*** is that?
It's time for the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Is Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Yeah, it's donkey of the Day for Friday, October 28th.
Goes to police in Bullhead City.
Now, Bullhead City is a city in Arizona who we probably have never, ever mentioned on Breakfast Club before,
but they are getting their first mention on Donkey of the Day because of this situation.
Apologies, Bullhead City.
I wish we didn't have to meet like this, but your city and your police are tripping.
A lot of police around the country trip,
but this trip right here isn't just a trip.
It's a stumble and fall.
See, some people on
this planet just like to do good.
No screens attached, not looking for anything in return.
They just see people in need
and they provide. It's simple as that.
Norma Thornton,
78 years old of Bull City,
seems to be one of those people.
She is a widowed mother of five who grew up in poverty.
She moved to Bullhead City in 2017 after she retired,
and she began making meals for those in need
after learning many in her community suffered from food insecurity.
So Norma goes to Bullhead City Community Park,
and she likes to go out there and serve food
to the needy. In fact, she gave a quote where she said, the thought of people being hungry, I mean,
I'm not making a big impact. She is. But at least some people have enough food to survive. And I
can't even imagine living in this country and being hungry. Dropping a clues bomb for Norma Thornton.
All right. 78 years old.
A woman like that should be honored and helped,
meaning that we already see her out there doing God's work.
So let's provide her with more resources, more assistance,
so she can feed more people.
That's what it seems like should happen, right?
Not in this America.
Let's go to NBC News for the report, please.
Okay, well, I'm going to call my higher-ups and figure out how we're going to handle this, okay?
This is police body camera footage from earlier this year, given to us by Norma Thornton's attorneys.
Very, very, very scary.
I thought I was going to go to spend some time in jail.
It shows her getting put in a police car after they say she was feeding the homeless at a public park.
Thornton was accused of breaking a Bullhead City law.
The ordinance makes it illegal to take part in a food-sharing event in a public park without a permit.
The city says this ordinance is to ensure public health and safety
and to prevent trash from piling up because of food-sharing events.
Is it Bull City or Bullhead City?
I repeat, is it Bull City or Bullhead City?
I mean, Lord have mercy. Satan is really waging war against God, isn't he?
Norma Thornton got arrested for feeding the homeless hot meals.
This city, Bull City, has a new ordinance that makes it a criminal misdemeanor
to share prepared food in a public park for charitable purposes without a permit.
However, people are allowed to freely share food in the park for social events.
So you can have a cookout or a party in the park and host up to 100 people with no consequences at all.
But you can't do the same thing to feed the homeless.
This is what I don't understand.
Not just about Bullhead City, but in life.
Look, you don't have to help me, but you don't have to hurt me either.
If you don't want to help me, just get out my way.
Leave me alone.
Don't bother me.
But if you see me helping folks, don't do things to hurt me
and keep me from helping those who need it.
I told you earlier that Norma said she can't even imagine living in this country
and being hungry and being told that you cannot feed the hungry regardless of what the circumstances are.
My God.
Norma is absolutely right.
And the city and the police department are wrong.
And I am glad that Norma is filing a lawsuit against Bullhead City, dropping the clues bombs for Norma's lawsuit.
Okay. She is alleging that her constitutional right to do charitable acts
was violated and requested that a court strike down the city's BS ordinance prohibiting her
from feeding the homeless. I don't know if it's a violation of her constitutional rights. All I know
is something ain't right. And her lawsuit notes that while there are three food pantries in the
city, they have limited hours and food options, and many are located where people cannot walk or drive. None of the pantries serve hot meals and only offer one box of
prepackaged food per family each month. So basically what she's saying is, Bullhead City, y'all doing a
little, little, little, little something, but not enough. Okay, nowhere near enough. So let me do my
thing without having to get a permit. All right? The permit required to share prepared food at parks requires a five-day notice
and $250 refundable deposit for cleaning.
It also only allows sharing in a single two-hour window just one day per month.
Why would Bullhead City be worried about something like trash in the park?
Don't they have someone to clean the parks?
If not, make that a city ordinance.
Like, hey, if you're going to feed the homeless, just make sure you clean up the park or at least pick up
after yourself or encourage the homeless people to make sure to throw the trash away keep the
park clean if not they cannot receive the hot meals simple as that help me help you get free
meals okay just keep the park clean that's a fair. But what kind of world do we live in where a city is going to charge a human for doing a good deed?
Norma Thornton already spending her own money on the food and putting her own sweat equity into making the food.
And you want to charge her for a permit because she decided to spend her time and energy making hot meals for those in need?
This whole system is a wrap. Jesus ain't coming back.
We really live in a time where folks demonize good and celebrate dysfunction. Now, Bullhead City released a statement claiming
that individuals are free to serve food to any homeless person at their place of residence,
church, or private property. Our ordinance applies to public parks only. That's what the mayor,
Tom Brady, said in a statement. He thought he ate with that.
Okay.
Norma said that's not ideal because she still serves people.
But now she has to do it in a private alley.
She said it's not ideal because there's no tables, no grass.
People get their food and they just sit up against a fence and eat.
When she was serving in the park, word would get out that she was serving hot food.
And it was much easier to get it to the people.
And it was much easier for people to get to her and to the food let me tell y'all something man no one is
useless in this world who lightens the burdens of other all right no one is useless in this world
who lightens the burden of another all right but you are very useless if you get in the way of a
person who is trying to lighten the burden of another.
All right?
Bullhead City, right now, you are very useless, and you are a burden to Norman Thornton and
a burden to all those starving homeless individuals.
Please give the city of Bullhead and the police department of Bullhead City the sweet sounds
of the Hamilton's.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
Yes, indeed.
All right.
When we come back, it's friday so you know what that means
it's freaky freaky freaky freaky friday we all over the place but today's freaky freaky freaky
friday question comes from angeli she wanted to talk wet dreams now where's this coming from you
what um well it was a topic that we actually did talk about on on lip service a little while ago
but i was just wondering i feel like everybody at some point
in their life has had a wet dream, right?
You guys? Of course.
Was there a time when
it was more frequent than others? Are some of them
more memorable? Were you ever embarrassed?
Mine wasn't frequent. Were you alone?
I think it's happened to everybody once
or twice, but it hasn't been
for a long time for myself. What about you, Charlamagne?
I've had one before, but I hasn't been for a long time for myself. What about you, Charlamagne? I've
had one before, but I cannot remember
the last time. That was eons
and eons and eons ago. That's when
I guess poltergeists used to be having sex with me.
I used to be having sex with ghosts, I guess.
What was the name? And did you ever have it when you were
alone or was somebody in the bed with you?
I was a
child, so I was definitely alone.
Yeah, I peed in the bed.
So you guys never had adult wet dreams?
You peed in the bed recently.
Why are you saying that to us like we're disgusted?
I'm just saying that like you're disgusted at us for something.
I've had a wet dream in a long time.
I've peed in the bed more recently than I've had a wet dream, honestly.
I haven't had a wet dream since I was a kid.
I love this hard-hitting content we're delivering this morning on The Breakfast Club.
What's the question, though?
Have you ever had a wet dream and tell us about it?
800-585-1051
Let's talk about you, have you?
Yeah, you know women have them too
That's why we were talking about it
Well, when's the last time?
I don't remember the actual dream
But I just remember waking up feeling like I thought I was having sex
And then being like, oh, I'm actually not
And then going back to sleep.
Okay. All right. Well, let's talk about it.
It was a good sleep, though.
Have you had a wet dream?
Did you see the ghost that you was having sex with?
Let's talk about it.
800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast
club now it's friday so you know what that means it's freaky freaky freaky freaky friday
yeah we all over the place and today's freaky freaky freaky friday question comes from angela
yee she wants to talk wet dreams this morning now Now, myself, I haven't had wet dreams in years.
I don't even remember my wet dreams, honestly.
J.Cole had a whole song about it.
He did.
Charlamagne said he hasn't had wet dreams in years.
Listen, bro, I'm 44 years old.
I don't remember.
I haven't had a wet dream in my adult life.
Like, wet dreams was when I guess I was a teenager or something.
I haven't had one of those in my adult life.
But I do feel like when you have a wet dream, you are having sex with some type of spirit.
I do believe that.
And Angela, Yee, I said Aunt Angela.
And Yee, when's the last time you had a wet dream?
I think when I was in, like, right after college.
But I remember it because it wasn't, it's not something that happened too frequently.
And then we had a whole conversation about it the other day and women having wet dreams.
So what was the conversation?
Was it an ex?
Was it somebody, a celebrity?
Was it a random person?
Who was on the show?
It was just the women talking about it.
No, I mean, who was in your wet dream?
I actually don't remember what happened in the dream.
I just remember waking up thinking that I just had sex
and realizing it was a dream.
But it wasn't a celebrity.
Okay. It was just a weird feeling But it wasn't a celebrity. Okay.
It was just a weird feeling.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, it's Tripp.
M.D. the Kid, man.
We trapping in.
My first time calling in, man.
Tripp, man, we talking wet dreams this morning.
Talk to us, brother.
I ain't gonna lie, man.
When I was locked up, I had the most wet dreams a nigga ever had.
I ain't even really ever had wet dreams like that.
Sounds about right.
That makes perfect sense.
I don't know if it's because you're so pent up in there or because, you know, you ain't had nothing a little bit,
but, you know, they say when you ain't high,
you have more lucid dreams.
Well, boy, I ain't gonna lie.
I used to be waking up with all kinds of crazy dreams.
That'd be the main one when you're locked up.
You have more lucid dreams when you're not what?
When you're locked up.
When you go without smoking and stuff for a long time.
Oh, when you're not high.
Got you, got you, got you, got you.
When you lock up, you be sober.
So I'm guessing that probably, they say that's why you have more wet dreams and shit like that, you feel me?
Okay.
You miss them?
I'm telling you, I ain't going to lie, I was going through it and I felt like, oh, man.
I just had a dream I threw last night.
Let me tell you about it.
Okay.
Oh, my gosh.
By the way, you should not wake up in no prison telling people about your wet dreams.
Keep that to yourself.
Write that down in your journal, King.
You don't even got to share that with nobody.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, this is Cassie.
Hey, Cassie.
We're talking wet dreams this morning.
Talk to us.
Yo.
So, first of all, Yee, thank you for sending us off, letting us girls know that it happened to us, too.
So, that gave me the confidence to fall.
So listen, I'm in this dream, and I'm giving it to Buddy.
Buddy, getting it real good.
And then I wake up, and I'm still giving it to air, though.
I thought I'd be able to finish, but I couldn't.
It was crazy.
You wanted to go back to sleep so bad.
Like, man, why did I have to wake up?
I wanted to go back to sleep and finish, Yee.
I wanted to go back and finish.
Hey, how the room smell? Shut up. Delicious. so bad. I wanted to go back and sleep and finish it. I wanted to go back and finish it.

Have a good weekend.
800-585-1051 It's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday.
We're asking, we're talking, what dreams this morning?
Have you had one? How'd it go? Was it great?
And how did the room smell? That's the Charlamagne question. It's The talking wet dreams this morning. Have you had one? How'd it go? Was it great? And how did the room smell?
That's a Charlamagne question.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking wet dreams.
It's Friday, so you know what that means.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday.
And we're talking wet dreams this morning.
Now, Angela Yee, I don't know if she had one last night or what's going on.
This is something that's been on her mind.
Yeah, and I don't, and listen, I'm glad a woman just called in to say that, you know,
she felt confident enough to call in and say that she'd have them, how amazing it was.
And, you know, we want to hear about your wet dream experiences.
All right.
Hello, who's this?
What's going on?
This is Jay.
Jay, what's up, brother?
Nice to meet you. I just wanted to get in on the topic that y'all talking about this morning. All right. Hello, who's this? What's going on? This is Jay. Jay, what's up, bro? Not much. I just wanted to get in on the topic that y'all talking about this morning.
All right. We're talking about dreams, man.
Good morning, y'all. Good morning.
So back in like 2012, 2013, I had this ex.
And first little bit while we was living together, I never knew I was sleeping on a blow-up mattress
because she had a bed frame and
headboard and everything. So we
sleep one day. It's like 4 o'clock
in the morning. I start feeling this warm stuff come
on my side of bed. I'm like,
what the hell is that? And I get up
and I wake her up. I'm sorry for cussing.
I wake her up and I say, hey, you're peeing.
Like, get up. You're peeing.
She's like, oh no, I was having a
dream. I was having a dream and then she got up and she finished peeing in the toilet. And I was like, you're peeing she's like oh no i was having a dream i was having a dream and then she
got up and she finished peeing in the toilet and i was like you're doing a whole lot of peeing to
be having a wet dream now you just peed in the bed with your grown self that's not necessarily
a wet dream that's the type of wet dreams it's still a wet dream it's a different type of fluid
yes why don't we classify why don't we classify
peeing in the bed
as a wet dream? Because we've all had that experience
where you dream like you're
peeing in a toilet, but you're actually peeing in your bed.
How come we don't call that a wet dream?
Well, that's because that's more peeing in a bed.
A wet dream is like when you actually feel
you ejaculate.
You're about to say pee not wet?
So when you pee, that means you're ejaculating?
No, but it's still wet.
Okay, that's why.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
This is D from NC.
D, what's up, D?
What's going on?
Good morning, E, Envy, and Charlamagne.
We're talking wet dreams this morning, brother.
Talk to us.
All right, so I've had them when I was younger.
As an adult, I've had them as um when i was younger as an adult i've had
something here and there but generally the thing is is when i'm about to uh in the dream when i'm
about to arrive it generally wakes me up it feels like i have to go yeah it generally feels like i
have to go to the bathroom so it wakes me up feels like i have to go pee so i just wake myself up
and feel like you know to run to the bathroom and it's actually that. Okay. Well, sorry to hear that.
Hello, who's this? Hi, this is
Alexis calling from California.
Hello, Alexis. How are you doing this morning?
I'm doing well, DJ Envy.
How are you? I'm doing
well. We're talking wet dreams this morning. Talk
to us. Yes, sir. First of all,
I would like to say hello to Miss Angela
Yee and Shalame
Magad. I love you guys.
I'm from California.
It's 525 a.m.
I wake up listening to you all every morning.
God bless you guys.
Well, someone's about to have a wet dream because of your voice.
Yeah, your voice is very wet dreamish.
Well, I'm a woman of a certain age, and I have wet dreams at least two to three times a week.
Wow.
Depending on if I play with toys or not.
If I'm not playing with any toys, I will have wet dreams more often.
But I am single, and yeah, I have a lot of wet dreams.
You need that release. You want to release it.
And so it just happens in your sleep.
I really do.
Right.
When was the last time you had a wet dream?
Last night.
Now, let me ask you a question.
You said you're a woman of a certain age.
How do you know that these wet dreams aren't really night sweats associated with menopause?
I can expect that coming from you because I know when I
climax
whether then I'm having
sweats
she's like I know when an orgasm is
exactly
okay have you ever had one with somebody else
in the house
no I'm single
I'm so happy to talk to you guys happy to talk to you too thank you for calling. I'm so happy to talk to you guys.
Happy to talk to you, too. Thank you for calling.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
I can't wait to talk to you some more about your wet dreams.
Okay.
I'll hit you guys up and we can talk further.
Y'all be the best.
I'm 54 years old and single.
All right, girl.
I'm looking forward to that.
All right, mama.
You have a good weekend, okay? You, too. Bye-bye. Bye,. All right, girl. I'm looking forward to that. All right, mama. You have a good weekend, okay?
You too.
Bye-bye.
Bye, Sean.
Peace, queen.
All right.
Well, what's the moral of the story, guys, if there is a moral?
I don't know if there's a moral to this immoral story.
Wet dreams aren't immoral.
This is interesting, though, because a lot of people say they woke up before they ejaculate,
but a lot of people don't wake up before they pee.
I wonder what that is.
Is that an age thing?
or does your body,
your body knows
it shouldn't be in the bed
when it's about to pee,
but your body knows
it should be in a bed
when it's about to ejaculate?
I don't know.
It's just strange.
Oh,
maybe it's just a different feeling.
Some people have more
violent ejaculations.
It might shake you awake.
That's true too.
All right. Well, we got rumors on the way.
What are we talking about?
New music.
You know, it's Friday, so, you know, we got to do it,
and it's a good Friday.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got to shout out LaRussell for joining us this morning.
Salute to my good brother, LaRussell, man.
Love that young dude.
He's got a project out right now called I Hate When Life's Going Great.
He's got that infectious energy, man,
that kind of energy that you want spread out throughout the entire world.
So support LaRussell, please.
Absolutely.
And, Charlamagne, I see you had T.I. and Tommy Davidson on the show last night.
I had T.I., I had Tommy Davidson, and I had Kirsten Soltis Anderson from CNN.

You can go watch that on Paramount Plus as well.
And I want to salute, man,
everybody who's coming out

exercises before you
