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.

Starting point is 00:07:29 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?

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.

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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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?
Starting point is 00:11:10 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
Starting point is 00:11:34 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,
Starting point is 00:11:52 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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
Starting point is 00:12:33 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.
Starting point is 00:12:49 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?
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:28 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:22 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
Starting point is 00:14:47 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.
Starting point is 00:15:10 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,
Starting point is 00:15:26 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
Starting point is 00:15:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:57 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.
Starting point is 00:16:22 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.
Starting point is 00:16:40 If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?
Starting point is 00:16:53 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves.
Starting point is 00:17:21 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?
Starting point is 00:17:31 Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
Starting point is 00:17:40 And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Zakistan. Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and more.

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.
Starting point is 00:25:39 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

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
Starting point is 00:35:09 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
Starting point is 00:35:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:03 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,
Starting point is 00:36:33 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.
Starting point is 00:36:49 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.
Starting point is 00:37:19 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
Starting point is 00:38:01 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,
Starting point is 00:38:18 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
Starting point is 00:38:34 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.
Starting point is 00:38:53 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.
Starting point is 00:39:05 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,
Starting point is 00:39:29 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 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
Starting point is 00:40:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:41 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.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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.
Starting point is 00:41:09 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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.
Starting point is 00:41:46 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. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:42:27 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.
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:17 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.
Starting point is 00:43:43 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
Starting point is 00:44:00 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
Starting point is 00:44:15 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.
Starting point is 00:44:32 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
Starting point is 00:44:51 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
Starting point is 00:45:36 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
Starting point is 00:46:02 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.
Starting point is 00:46:11 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.
Starting point is 00:46:34 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.
Starting point is 00:46:55 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
Starting point is 00:47:19 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
Starting point is 00:47:36 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.
Starting point is 00:48:02 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.
Starting point is 00:48:17 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.
Starting point is 00:48:41 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!
Starting point is 00:49:00 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.
Starting point is 00:49:17 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.
Starting point is 00:49:29 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?
Starting point is 00:49:39 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
Starting point is 00:49:53 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.
Starting point is 00:50:13 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.
Starting point is 00:50:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:38 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
Starting point is 00:51:05 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
Starting point is 00:51:48 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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
Starting point is 00:52:55 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
Starting point is 00:53:40 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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
Starting point is 00:54:40 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
Starting point is 00:55:16 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
Starting point is 00:55:51 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.
Starting point is 00:56:11 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.
Starting point is 00:56:17 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
Starting point is 00:56:30 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.
Starting point is 00:57:00 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,
Starting point is 00:57:13 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.
Starting point is 00:57:20 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
Starting point is 00:57:39 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.
Starting point is 00:58:14 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,
Starting point is 00:58:29 uh, off the pergola, only, only 200 people can come to each show. So off 800 people, right. And it's because, uh,
Starting point is 00:58:37 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
Starting point is 00:59:03 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?
Starting point is 00:59:30 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?
Starting point is 00:59:44 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.
Starting point is 01:00:09 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
Starting point is 01:00:31 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,
Starting point is 01:01:15 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.
Starting point is 01:01:35 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,
Starting point is 01:02:15 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.
Starting point is 01:02:53 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?
Starting point is 01:03:05 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:03:57 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.
Starting point is 01:04:30 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.
Starting point is 01:04:44 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?
Starting point is 01:05:01 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.
Starting point is 01:05:31 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.
Starting point is 01:05:49 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
Starting point is 01:06:07 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
Starting point is 01:06:23 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
Starting point is 01:06:33 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
Starting point is 01:06:40 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.
Starting point is 01:06:47 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
Starting point is 01:07:20 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.
Starting point is 01:07:52 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.
Starting point is 01:08:03 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
Starting point is 01:08:29 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.
Starting point is 01:08:45 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
Starting point is 01:09:08 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
Starting point is 01:09:48 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?
Starting point is 01:10:01 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. You got a beat? Yeah. Let's do that.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Teyeta, can you send J.S. Hatch? Oh, she ready. She like, I know this rapping ass dude. Press play, yo. Put some more beat on that joint. Come on. Solomon wouldn't be a rapper so bad. Come on.

Integrated vertically. Y'all against blew it. Came out the dirt. That mean we grew it. This ain't a prophecy, but we knew it, huh?
Starting point is 01:11:09 Ay, witness in God work, witness in black gold Knew it was less travel, still took the back road We spent the home bread, we spent the home loot Why would I outsource, hire my own crew? 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 My mama got a podcast, I'm finna put my pops on

I don't agree with it. Huh?
Starting point is 01:12:25 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.
Starting point is 01:12:39 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.
Starting point is 01:12:54 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.
Starting point is 01:13:08 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?
Starting point is 01:13:25 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.
Starting point is 01:13:50 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.
Starting point is 01:14:30 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.
Starting point is 01:15:05 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.
Starting point is 01:15:27 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.
Starting point is 01:15:39 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?
Starting point is 01:16:00 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,
Starting point is 01:16:17 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
Starting point is 01:16:33 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.
Starting point is 01:16:51 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.
Starting point is 01:17:25 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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
Starting point is 01:18:01 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.
Starting point is 01:18:27 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.
Starting point is 01:18:46 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.
Starting point is 01:19:02 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
Starting point is 01:19:17 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.
Starting point is 01:19:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:00 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.
Starting point is 01:20:18 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
Starting point is 01:20:36 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,
Starting point is 01:21:08 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.
Starting point is 01:21:34 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?
Starting point is 01:22:09 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.
Starting point is 01:22:42 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.
Starting point is 01:23:00 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
Starting point is 01:23:32 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.
Starting point is 01:24:16 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.
Starting point is 01:24:53 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.
Starting point is 01:25:29 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
Starting point is 01:26:02 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.
Starting point is 01:26:32 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
Starting point is 01:26:51 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?
Starting point is 01:27:16 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
Starting point is 01:27:31 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?
Starting point is 01:27:47 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?
Starting point is 01:28:05 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
Starting point is 01:28:21 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.
Starting point is 01:28:38 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.
Starting point is 01:29:12 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.
Starting point is 01:29:30 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?
Starting point is 01:29:47 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.
Starting point is 01:30:03 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.
Starting point is 01:30:13 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.
Starting point is 01:30:28 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.
Starting point is 01:30:40 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.
Starting point is 01:30:57 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.
Starting point is 01:31:12 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.
Starting point is 01:31:26 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.
Starting point is 01:31:43 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. How did the room smell? Delicious. Let them know. Thank you, Mama. Have a good weekend. 800-585-1051 It's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday.

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.

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.
Starting point is 01:32:36 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.
Starting point is 01:32:51 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,
Starting point is 01:33:14 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
Starting point is 01:33:36 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.
Starting point is 01:33:56 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?
Starting point is 01:34:10 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.
Starting point is 01:34:24 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?
Starting point is 01:34:52 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.
Starting point is 01:35:07 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.
Starting point is 01:35:31 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.
Starting point is 01:35:53 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
Starting point is 01:36:15 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.
Starting point is 01:36:31 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.
Starting point is 01:36:44 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.
Starting point is 01:36:55 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
Starting point is 01:37:12 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.
Starting point is 01:37:19 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,
Starting point is 01:37:31 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.

Starting point is 01:41:13 Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Starting point is 01:41:37 Check it. Did you know, did you know, I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
