Guess what day it is? Pump day? Hey. That's right. Yes, it's a Wednesday. You know why I'm late? You're not late.

You're on time. Well, you know why I'm just on time? Why? Because I'm blaming it on Nori. Nori hit me this morning, too. Nori texted me this morning. He's excited for this patting the bell interview. I started texting Nori back, and I ain't even looking at the time.

I'm like, oh, man, I'm messing around with Nori. So hold on a second. You're blaming being late because you texted Nori this morning? I'm not late. But that's what your reason was? I'm on time because of Nori. But I'm confused how that could make you even...

Because I sat down to text Nori back and I'm texting Nori back about the interview. So you can't text and get in the car or nothing? No, I was sitting on my bed and I'm like, oh man, I'm messing around with Nori. I jumped in the car and took off. That's ridiculous. I was just saying, even when I'm late, I'm on time. man, I'm messing around with Nori. I jumped in the car and took off. That's ridiculous. I was just saying, even when I'm late, I'm on time.

Well, I'm on time. The goal is to get to work, and this is for everybody listening, because I learned this a long time ago, that being late is taking advantage of other people's time and acting like it's not that important. And so one of the main things in business is to always be early.

So that way, even if you're a little late, you're still on time. That's true. But it happens sometimes. I ain't even going to lie up front. Happens. It happens. You might have to send a text. Yeah.

Well, we are here on time. And I was texting Nori this morning about Patti LaBelle. Patti LaBelle will be joining us this morning. He's so excited. She just did Drink Champs, too. Yeah, about, what, a couple of weeks ago, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so we're actually

heading out to Pennsylvania to go to her crib, and she's going to talk about her new breakfast brand that she has, which is waffles, pancakes, pancake mix, syrup. Well, we better leave now.

And all that. Now, we did it a day ago. You said we're heading out just now. Well, that's what I mean. Well, we're going to be at her crib. It's not, you know,

we taped it already. And Patti La. We're going to be at her crib. We taped it already. And Patti LaBelle is going to be the new face of breakfast food. So, like there was Aunt Jemima, which was not owned by a black person. Master P. Patti LaBelle will be the new face and her stuff is amazing.

She gave me some pancakes. She gave me some syrup. She gave me a whole bunch of things. And, you know, I tried it with the kids. I didn't even tell the kids it was different from Eggos. I didn't tell them it was different from Aunt Jemima. I didn't tell them it was different from Log Cabin. I just had them try it, and they loved it. She said the pancakes should be your complexion in order to know that they're ready.

Yeah, she did say that. Which is a good marker. That way you know it's, you know, just beige. I feel like it's a little undercooked then. I like mine a little darker. You like your Charlemagne or Envy? In between. In between, I think. A little in between. And then

she also gave me some mac and cheese by the way. She gave me some mac and cheese. If you ever had frozen mac and cheese, it's hard to get a good frozen mac and cheese but hers, that's amazing. Yeah, so I'm going to. And she gave me some peach cobbler and some banana pudding. I didn't tell Gia I got the mac and cheese.

So Friday night, I'm going to cook. Well, I'm going to heat it up in the oven. Well, someone might tell her now. No, no, no. I mean, she's getting the kids ready. But I'm going to cook for her this weekend. So I'm going to do the macaroni. I'm going to do some flat.

I call it the flat chicken, but it's breast, chicken breast. And I'm going to cook some green beans and I'm going to see how it hits. Alright. Alright, so Patti LaBelle will be joining us this morning. We're going to be kicking it with her. Do you put breadcrumbs in your mac and cheese? No. I don't know how to make mac and cheese. That's why I'm using

Patti LaBelle's. I'm Velveeta. You pour the water in, you stir it for, what, 10 minutes and then you get macaroni and cheese.elle's. I'm Velveeta. You pour the water in. You stir it for, what, 10 minutes, and then you get macaroni and cheese. That's what I do. All right. I got kids, so it makes it fast.

My wife is the one that bakes it and all that. I don't know how to do any of that. That's why I'm fronting using Patti LaBelle's mac and cheese. You know, randomly, I can cook a little bit, but I don't cook that often,

but when I do cook, I really can cook. I don't believe you. I really can. Go bring some food up here. I've done that before. What food did you bring up here? That was a long time ago, but I definitely cooked and brought it up here.

Alright. Well, let's go get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, since we're talking about food, let's talk about food prices. Food prices are still going up, and we'll tell you what's getting more expensive right now. And trust me, I know owning a juice bar and owning a coffee shop and having

to get all of these supplies, it hurts. Yeah. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

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 Ladonia. 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. 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.

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Now WNBA, the Aces beat the Suns. They lead the series 2-0. They won last night 85-71. Dropping the clues for Aja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces.

Dammit, South Carolina's on. That's a 5, baby. Next game is tomorrow at 9. Now what else we got, Yeezy? Alright, but food prices are still going up. It's hurting a lot of people right now. And if you own a business that has food, y'all know those food prices. Or if you go to any places and people are raising their prices. I told you OJ was expensive as hell the other week ago.

Yeah, it's crazy. If you're just trying to eat. Yes. If you need food for the house. Yeah, but just even knowing that sometimes you might go to some establishments or the supermarket. And you're like, why is it so expensive? It's them passing that price down to you. So they said egg prices are up 39.8%.

And flour is 23.3% more expensive. Milk is up 17%. And the price of bread is up 16.2%. Chicken is up 16.6%. That's crazy. And meat is up 6.7%. And pork is up 6.8%. And fruits and vegetables altogether are up 16.6%. That's crazy. And meat is up 6.7% and pork is up 6.8%. And fruits and vegetables altogether are up 9.4%.

I don't think people understand how much that impacts folks who are just out here living, you know, check to check. Imagine you got three, four kids at the house. You can imagine if you just got two kids at the house. One kid. One kid at the house. That food is expensive. And that goes fast. That's like a weekly expense.

And if you live in check to check and you're getting paid, like, let's say, every two weeks on top of bills and everything else, like, you really gotta make decisions.

Gas prices went up, so that's more expensive. Everything. Yeah. It's hard right now because owning a juice bar, the cost of everything is up so much

that we're not really... And what are you supposed to do? Like, Razor, it's hard for everybody, but it's kind of a difficult time for some businesses. Yes, and it's a difficult time for families. Just regular everyday people who, you know, just trying to cook breakfast for their kids in the morning, or lunch, or dinner.

People got to make real choices out here, man. All right, now Steph Curry has locked in a Lifetime Under Armour contract. Well, nearly locked. Lifetime Under Armour contract that's worth more than $1 billion. It's a Lifetime Armour contract. Well, nearly locked. Lifetime Under Armour contract that's worth more than $1 billion. It's a lifetime endorsement contract. They say it could be worth over a billion dollars. Dropping the clues bombs to Steph Curry. Do you know how good you have to be?

How good you have to be to get a billion dollar sneaker deal from Under Armour? Wasn't nobody wearing Under Armour sneakers in no way, shape, or form. He made their evaluation go from like $14 billion to $28 billion in three years. You still got that stock?

I do still have my underarm. Because it went down so much. It went down horribly. But, you know, in the hopes that it'll go back up. Because you never know, a business could turn around. I kept it there. I kept it too. Because you know what really made it go down is the founders public support of former President Donald Trump and that's what Steph Curry was in odds with Under Armour over with them

So and Nike got to feel stupid I mean you you you got a guy like Steph Curry come in you don't respect him you put up the same PowerPoint presentation that you had with Kevin Durant you got Kevin Durant's name up there Del Curry his father said he stopped paying attention to Nike once he saw that in the meeting. Then they go to Under Armour, get a good deal, get equity in the company. Now look. Alright, well that is

your front page news. Alright. Get it off your chest. 800- 585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. And Yee, you told me Mecta Man was not performing on the Wu-Tang tour. He said he has a movie to do. Well, he performed last night.

Yeah, he's missed some dates. And he was upset that people were coming at him like he just didn't care. But he was in Columbia filming. No. But he's the one that went on live and said it. That's why he wasn't there. I heard the show last night was amazing. In Jersey?

Yeah, in Jersey. Wu-Tang and Nas. Wu-Tang, Nas, and Busta, right? Yeah, I think they had added Busta previously because, you know, to kind of make up for that. But yes, that's good that he made it out. But he was filming, so it wasn't like he was trying to diss the fans.

He just had obligations at that time. Yeah, one of the people doing work on my crib was like, I'm going to see Wu-Tang tonight. I'm like, well, I just want to let you know Matthew Mann's not coming out. He texted me during the concert, fake news, Matthew Mann's performing now. So I heard the show was dope. So shout out to the whole Wu. That don't mean he's

on the tour, though. That don't mean he's on the whole tour. Well, get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Oh, man.

But, you know, I was going to, like, be down and out, but after hearing y'all interview with Miss Jennifer Lewis, she said, in your happiness, on your road to happiness, you have to be happy, you know? So, here I am being happy, even though I'm going through my struggle, but not to be too long. I just called, man, to get some general assistance from the public

to help me be the best father that I can be, man. I'm in a bricklayer's union. Follow Brother Solomon's advice. I'm getting a trade. But for the past two months, these folks ain't put me to work. And my bills have been racking up. You know, I'm about $500, $600 in a hole

with my mortgage and stuff. I just started work two days ago finally. But you know, it's a struggle as a black man trying to be a good dad and trying to take care of a house and stuff like that. So I just want to – I usually don't do this, man,

but I just wanted to put my cash app out there for anybody who – if it's on their heart to help me out. What's the cash app? It's dollar sign Royalwood19. R-O-Y-A-L-W-O-O-D-S 19. That's my son's name and that's the year

But, bro, Drink Champs. So many props for being a good podcast, but, bruh, Drink Champs is terrible. Drink Champs is a fantastic podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. Don't you be disrespectful.

Why do you think it's terrible, sir? It's Nori. It's Nori Charlemagne. Some of my favorite artists get on Drink Champs and they'll be telling a story, right? And here go, here go, here go Nori. Come on, let's take a shot. Come on, let's take a shot. Come on, let's take a shot.

And that's why your favorite artists sit there for three and four hours, and that's why they spill their guts. Absolutely. Nori is a drunken master. He know exactly what he doing, and it works. You know how many stories and how many situations that came out of Drink Champs? A lot of the stories that we report and that everybody reports come out of Drink Champs. But Envy,

I'm going to tell you what that does. What that does is that make the artists forget about what they was talking about. They always get back on track. You just got to stick around. Listen, it's entertaining.

It's an environment that you don't normally see them in. I ain't going to let you talk bad about Nori. I wanted to ask him one more question. I wanted to ask him

how many episodes he listened to because you act like you don't like it but you can't turn away. Okay? 800. Shout to Nori, too. Like I said, Nori texted me this morning.

She sound like she should be playing basketball somewhere. I know she tall. You stupid. Long dreadlocks. Get off your chest. She having a dunk on your ass. 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way?

Yes, and let's talk about the R. Kelly trial. The jury has started deliberations, and we'll give you that update. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. All right. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

All right. Well, a Chicago jury just started deliberations, and that is in the federal trial of R. Kelly. And he's facing 13 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, receipt of child pornography, enticement of minors to engage in unlawful sexual conduct, conspiring to obstruct justice, and conspiring to receive child pornography. Now y'all know he already was found guilty last year in New York City of federal racketeering and sex trafficking.

He's serving a 30 year prison sentence for that. So right now these are these new charges that the jury is deliberating. Jesus. Right. You said you said like about 90 of the charges just now. Mm-hmm. Now, one woman who actually testified by the Jane Doe name in court

was the star witness for the prosecution in the trial. She said she had sex with Kelly hundreds of times from the ages of 15 to 18, and she said she did so because she was intimidated by him and considered him an authoritative figure. And so, according to the prosecutor, she told jurors on Tuesday, use Jane as your base and as your guide during deliberations from beginning to end. R. Kelly's sexual abuse of her is clear.

All right, so we'll keep you updated as they are deliberating starting today. And the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team entered the 2008 Beijing Games. They were looking for redemption. And now there is a Netflix documentary called The Redeemed Team that chronicles the 2008 triumph led by LeBron, Kobe and Dwayne Wade. Here is the trailer for The Redeemed Team. A U.S. squad with NBA players lost for the first time ever in the olympics it was ugly to watch and kick their ass we came to the notion just because we're americans we're better we were just thrown together and said go out there and win us a gold medal

we had to figure out how to become a team A lot of them were not known as great team players. I had a lot of concerns. That's why we recruited Kobe Bryant. If you follow basketball, then you know the nickname of this year's squad, the Redeem Team. Cole said, I'm tired of watching y'all lose. I'm like, I love this energy. This is what we need. We had a lot of things that we needed to show the world.

And it wasn't just basketball. I'm interested in seeing that. And the reason I'm interested in seeing that is because for them, what they got a silver medal the year before? Or what was it? When they were the Olympics prior. I think it was a bronze. They got a bronze.

Yeah, they came in third place. So I know it had to be an extreme lack of focus because they probably was all getting so much money. They probably wasn't focused on basketball. I think that, yeah, I don't think too many NBA players played. There was more college players, I thought, that year. I don't remember. Or was it?

Huh? No, yeah, it wasn't the best of the best. It wasn't the best, yeah. But I remember everybody shocked. It wasn't the cream of the crop of the NBA players. Everybody was shocked that they lost. All right, well, that's going to be coming out on October 7th, only on Netflix.

And Damson Idris talks about getting denied entry at a party for HBO. He posted on his story, just showed up to an HBO party and was turned away for not being on the list. LOL, no juice. That'll make him work harder. Yeah, you know what? He can do his own Redeem team documentary after that. I was also looking at a story that Zendaya's mother did where she had to name drop to actually

get to Zendaya's table at the Emmys. She said she tried to go up to her at her table just minutes before Zendaya won Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for Euphoria. She was trying to go over to soothe her nerves and security was like, stop! So she said

I made my way to Z before they awarded her the Emmy and gave her the biggest hug and said breathe. She wasn't already sitting with her mom? No. Why? Because you know you only get two seats up close and then usually the family sits in the back. So she said she had to tell security, I'm Zendaya's mom.

She said she had to keep walking but she said I'd never name drop like that, but I have to and it actually did work. Imagine saying you name dropping for a person that you actually dropped out of your vagina, bro. It's my child. He talking about name dropping. This is my child. Alright, well that is... I gave her the name that I'm

dropping. That's dope, man. That is crazy. But you know what? I'm sure they didn't know that was her mom. Even still. Jesus. And I guess if you're there at the Emmys, you're supposed to be there. It's not like anybody could just be in there. Mm-hmm. You know?

So there's a lot of people, too, besides being somebody's mom, but behind the scenes, it could have been anyone. And imagine you having to confirm that if you're security. Hold on. Let me make sure you're Zendaya's mom. Ain't nobody just going to say you're somebody. Zendaya, you know her? Yeah.

You ain't going to say you're somebody's mama, bro. Not her stepmother, right? Her mama. Her stepmother's mercy. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you somebody mama, bro. Not her stepmother, right? Her mama. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Nah, can't be. Really?

What? We just pulled up the 2004 Olympic team when they won bronze. Carmelo was on there. Tim Duncan. There you are. I'm already starting to mind. Allen Iverson. Marbury. Dwayne Wade.

Lamar Odom. LeBron James. Lack of focus. They was getting too much money, man. The Redeem team. No, that wasn't a Redeem team. No, I'm saying 2008 was the Redeem team. They had to redeem themselves. What was that, 06 or 04?

From 2004. 04. They had some players on there. That was no trash team. Y'all got some players on y'all. They was getting too much money, bro. That's why I want to see the doc, because I want to hear them explain that lack of focus, because those guys right there you just named

shouldn't be able to beat anybody. Absolutely. All right, we got front page news next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself,

and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

All right, morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Congratulations again to the Las Vegas Aces. They beat the Connecticut Suns 85-71. They lead the series 2-0. Drop on a clues box for Aja Wilson and the Aces.

Next game is tomorrow at 9. All right, what else we got, Yeezy? All right, well, the NBA has suspended Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and fined him $10 million after finding workplace misconduct. He repeatedly used the N-word and made many sex-related comments to employees, according to the NBA, as they handed down the suspension. So he's suspended for one year. That's it?

Yeah. I feel like you shouldn't even be able to, you know, they should, I mean, come on, using the N-word and making many sex-related comments. In only a year? Where's the tape?

In $10 million? I love a good N-word tape from an NBA owner. And, you know, I'm comparing it to Donald Sterling, so clearly his wasn't as good as Donald Sterling if he only got suspended for a year

and got fined $10 million. Donald Sterling had to sell the whole damn team. Now, he's been a managing partner of the franchise for 18 years and on at least five occasions he repeated the N-word

when recounting the statements of others. Oh, so what do you mean? Like quoting what other people said? Yeah, I guess he was saying what someone else said. Well, the president

has done that. President Biden did that when he was in the Senate. He would quote other people and read the N-word. So is that a fireable offense if you're quoting somebody? Well, he didn't get fired. Well, is that fined and suspended?

Is that a suspended offense? But they said he also engaged in instances of inequitable conduct toward female employees, made many sex-related comments in the workplace, made inappropriate comments about the physical appearance of female employees and other women, and engaged in demeaning and harsh treatment of employees that constituted bullying. So it's all of those things. Yeah, that's different.

That's totally different. I don't think it was just one of those things. But I didn't know that. I've been seeing the headline, but I didn't really read too much into it. I didn't know that he was quoting somebody using the N-word. They just made it seem like he was walking around the facility throwing around the N-word. Yeah, they said he had a meeting in 2004 with a free agent,

and he used it while recalling that a black coach or player would regularly use that term when he was in college. And they said one person that was in the meeting told him that he's not allowed to ever say the N-word, even when quoting someone else. Imagine that, man. Then they said eight years later, a black player used the word, and he repeated it, and a team rep told him that he could not use

the word then too. And then he complained that a black player on the Warriors used the N-word and wasn't hit with a technical foul and used the word as he complained to the refs about it. Imagine trying to relate to one of your players with that word. You know what I'm saying? Somebody tell

you, you meet somebody and they be like, yeah, that's my nigga. And then, hey man, I know Envy, he say you his nigga. Because it's not really, you know what I mean? Then, listen to this one. That's kind of crazy. Listen to this one. Oh boy. And at least twice from 2010 to 2017, he used the N-word in repeating what a black player's

family member purportedly said while boarding a team plane. White folks in the front, N-words in the back. See? Oh, man. That's messed up, man. Yes, it is, man. That's kind of messed up right there, bro. Now, they could not confirm a detail of the ESPN report

in this probe when he is alleged to have said in 2013 he preferred hiring black coaches because these N-words need an N-word. These niggas need a nigga. It's not funny, man. Oh, my God. By the way, that's why I try not to use that word in front of people. I try not to use it in front of white people.

I know that sounds crazy because I use it on the radio, but boy, I'm trying not to use that word for that exact reason right there. All right. Now he's also alleged to have noticed a female employee because I use it on the radio. But boy, I'm trying not to use that word for that exact reason right there. All right, now he's also alleged to have noticed a female employee got breast augmentation surgery and said, did you get an upgrade this summer? Did you get an upgrade on them breasts, nigga? That nigga got some breasts on him, don't he? He also made a female employee cry, reportedly.

Oh my God. And then he said, why do all the women around here cry so much? It's probably you, sir. He probably was playing the hell out of me. I gotta hear these tapes. Now tell me, y'all don't want to hear these tapes now? Now in 2021, at a business meeting, he told attendees how he learned about oral sex as a child with witnesses finding the story inappropriate for a work setting, they said. That's probably right. Alright, well that is your front page

news. We heard Donald Sterling tape. How did Donald Sterling get caught? Somebody recorded him, right? Yes. His ex-girlfriend. And he was using it in the racist context. He didn't want certain people at the games. Yes. Sitting courtside. Goodness gracious. Alright, well that is your front page news.

All right, when we come back, we're going to be kicking it with Patti LaBelle. She has a new breakfast line that's coming out, which includes waffles. She has, it's out. Pancakes, I said,

well, it's out. Includes syrup, pancakes, waffles. Go to your Walmart and look for it and request it. Go to Target and ask for it. We drove out to Pennsylvania to kick it with her. Yeah, we went to her old house in Pennsylvania and, you know, had breakfast.

This is like the first time the Breakfast Club has ever really had breakfast, by the way. I don't think we've ever had breakfast in an interview, ever. I don't think we have before. No, they've ordered. They both have given us breakfast. No, I'm saying, yes, but for the behind the scenes, I'm talking about actually on air, eating breakfast. Never happened before. Right.

And it just wasn't a random house. Her son was there, Zuri. Zuri. Charles Suit, who is also part, I guess, managing or whatever. But we're going to talk to all of them when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. I love them, and I know how much they love me. But I'm still nervous. You shouldn't be. So if we mess up, we'll take that out. No, no, we're not messing up. First of all, there's no such thing. And second of all, the food smells so good.

So I just can't wait to eat. I'm going to feed you, dude. Now, Patty invites me to Thanksgiving every year, but I never want to come because I have six kids. She don't just invite you. I told you to bring the baby kids. Well, I'm talking about myself. And I have six kids because I'm like, I don't want my kids running around. But you got so because I have six kids. She don't just invite you. I told you to bring the baby kids. I'm talking about myself.

And I have six kids because I'm like, I don't want my kids running around but you got so many things here for kids. I see a ball pit. I see walkers. I see slides. Everything. I'm bringing my kids here.

Because this is not my house. What? This? What? You're being a wrong house MD. Wrong house. No, no, no, listen. No, here's the deal.

My kitchen is being done at my house. When I moved from this house about five years ago, Zuri and Lona took it down. They took the pool out. They made all these rooms that I don't even know about. And I said, I want to come back and live here now. So since I'm with my friends, my good friends, I want to be in this house with you guys next time we do it at my house.

Okay. This is your son, Zuri. This is a secret kitchen. Oh, yeah, secret kitchen. And I want this house. Did you already have to pay for this? Well. You said you were going to tell the truth.

Yes, of course. I'm his mother. Gotta give me something. I'm so proud of him and Lona because they made this house the way I wanted it when I lived here. But they took my pool out and made a playroom or something. So bring your six kids because I have grandbabies here.

And when they bring to my house, you can bring them to my house. Oh, perfect. I got 28, 9, 8, 6, and 11 months old. Really? 11 months? I said a 20-year-old, an 18-year- old, a nine, an eight year old, a six year old. And now 11 month old.

That's perfect. No, I'm done. Me and the wife is done. He's not done. No, I'm done. She should say that.

My God. I want to ask you about interviews. Have you ever messed up in an interview? Cause you said if you, if you messed up, you tape it over. Have you ever messed up? Oh,

I've messed up so many times. I'm human. Yeah. And I said to the interviewee interviewer, I'm the interviewee, please don't play that. Okay. And sometimes, like I say, the wrong damn thing. And then I'm caught and then Zori's giving me the eye. He's looking at me all funny.

Mom, why'd you say that? So I'll say to the person who's doing the interview, could you please not put that in? Can you edit that out? Gotcha. I've made a lot of mistakes, but they were honest. So when you went to Drink Champs, right? Uh-oh. Sleuth and Nori.

Was there certain rules and regulations like, you better not smoke while I'm there, you can't drink this while I'm there? So how was that interview when you walked into Nori and Drink Champs? First of all, I was shocked that Zuri called me and Charles and said that they want you on Drink Champs. Why wouldn't they? Because I'm not one of those girls.

Listen. You know one of those rappers or hip hop people or whatever and I'm just not that girl. But I'm the woman. And then they said they wanted a legend. And there are so many legends younger than me and whatever. I was just happy to have been asked.

And so I said well when I get on there I ain't smoking no reefer. I ain't doing no, what they do to the head? Shots. I'll do some red wine, some Caymus. And I want you guys to smoke. Yeah, you said do what you want to do. Smoke, drink, curse, do whatever.

So they were smoking around you and all that? No, they respected me too much. Okay, thank God. No reefer. And I think Nori was drinking with her. Like he was drinking with her like he was drinking yeah he was drinking red wine nice but i always want anybody around me to be yourself i am no queen i'm just patty no but i'm a good girl i mean you know what i mean i'm a bad good girl you've seen a lot though i can imagine the people that you've been around and things that have happened in front of you. Yes.

It's not like. I've seen a lot, Angela. I have. And I've been around a lot of people who I'm so honored to have been around in my life. Some that I'm not so honored that I've been around them in my life. And I say that. People know. And I'm just 78 and happy to still be alive you know still be happy to be 78 one day right

right it was a blessing down to earth though I was um I was at essence and um you were flying back right and I remember and first of all you walk through the airport um like hakeem and simi like coming to america like there was a long line of people right where that was like wow it was amazing right i'm sitting on the side and everybody's pointing and everybody's whispering and patty sees me she walks over me gives me a big hug and people like she's so down to earth what makes you still that way still speak to people still take pictures still smile and she had her heels on walking through the airport by the way i just want to tell you that she had her heels on walking through the airport by the way i just want to tell you that she had her heels you won't ever see me in jeans or jogging pants

even at the supermarket not a bonnet you wouldn't wear a bonnet to the supermarket hush no no bonnet and the girls look great in their bonnets but i'm just not a bonnet babe i'm not that girl right but no i see you at the airport and I speak because I love you, first of all. And I see fans who are afraid to approach me at the airport. Like they're whispering, that's her. And the girl said, that ain't her. I said, it's me, boo. I said, do you want a photo?

And when I ask them that, they're shocked. And then they call all their friends and then my security has a bad moment. Because he seems like he's afraid of people holding on me and coming in my face. They're making me. That's why I'm so relevant. I think it's because I approach people before they approach me because I love my, I don't call them fans. I call them my friends.

I love my friends. Cause we look at you like you would be a diva, but you're not. No, you are in some ways though. But no, the other day we were coming from Canada. And so the guy in the first class club said, wow, you're still flying commercial? I said, what's wrong with you, boo? Yeah, I still fly commercial. I'm in a private jet.

You know, we get them. You know, I fly on the jets and stuff. But I am not that girl. I'm a real woman from Philadelphia who appreciates people who appreciate me and even if you don't appreciate me I say hey honey I'm Patty LaBelle do you know who I am and she'll might say no I said well Google me people who don't you would say that our diva is cuz I'll say one that you always look fly like you always just walking. Thank you. Like you always just look like

Patty Lavelle. Walking through the airport with heels on. Is that diva-ish though just to show up you know fly? I mean some people might No it's not diva-ish

or being a diva. No not at all. No. And I've never considered myself a diva. So I'm just that regular girl from West Philadelphia. But she dresses.

You know I'm always going to have on pumps. And then I have my flats in my purse to take those pumps off and be real. Because honey, sometimes my corns hurt. So I have to take off those high heels. Why don't you get them shaved off? I got mine shaved off. They shaved off, but they still hurt. Oh, okay, okay.

I'm 78. Okay, I got old toes. What do you wear around the house? Do you have like fly robes and slippers? Around the house, if FedEx comes to the door and I answer the door, I'm not looking like this. You know, they catch me sometimes just getting up. I don't believe

that. Honest to God, if my housekeeper's not there, I'm going to answer that door, which I do. And they just have a package for Patti LaBelle, but they don't think it's me because I'm not cute. At 8 in the morning I'm not good you know but when i leave the house going to the grocery store to wherever i'm going i'm cute i got to be i have about 16 different hairs hairs to put on like wigs i don't do the scarves and the bonnets but i do i put hair on

and i think the reason people are afraid to approach you is because you carry yourself like royalty. Oh, that's nice to hear, honey. Like royalty. Is that good or bad? To carry yourself like royalty. I guess you carry yourself who you are.

Respectable. We look at you like so much respect. Very regal. Thank you. I thank you guys. We got more with Patti LaBelle when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Patti LaBelle. And if you're just tuning in, we are at Patti LaBelle's house right now. We're at Patti LaBelle's old house. There you go. Old house. Old house, yes.

She's about to cook for us this morning and we're super duper excited and you have this breakfast line that's coming out and i'm excited about it right and i'm excited because we don't necessarily see our faces on things that we own so the fact that growing up i would see aunt your mama syrup and aunt your mama pancake mix and aunt your mama this aunt your mama that um and aunt your mama didn't own it you know i mean so the fact that you know hopefully my kids and their kids kids will now grow up on patty stuff thank which is pretty many what made you want to do a breakfast line well i have three wonderful men who work with me alex zuri and charles and they've always known me as a cook of anything

breakfast lunch dinner and the best sandwiches in the world right so we came up with this idea of my having my food line and the first thing was a patty pie and that did really well that's an understatement it did really cutely there's no such word as cutely but i made it up and so after that happened you know we all got together with ideas of different foods for me to make and of course breakfast now that i have my grandbabies uh gia leila and little baby zj they love pancakes and waffles and so whenever they would come to my house before this line came out that's what they wanted for breakfast so why not put their little faces on the box and sell some black people pancakes love it okay i love seeing your face on these boxes oh thank you

honey yeah and i know you said you're also diabetic too so you've also paid attention to sugar and i think that's important for our community also oh yeah honey we can't kill ourselves and i've been a diabetic for 30 years but I learned how to cook like a diabetic. But for you guys, I mean, I cook healthy food, you know, and what you're going to have today is healthy. And I'm just blessed to be that girl on that box. So did you have to modify your original recipes for like the meals that come frozen or like pre-prepared?

No, I think everybody wants the original. Okay. And it's just the way my mother taught me. Which one of your kids or grandkids was the one that had to test everything? And if you need one, I'm here. Okay, but my babies,

they did test. Especially the pancakes, Layla and Gia. And they loved them. And Shakia's kids loved them. My crazy aunt's hairstylist, her kids loved them. Charles' kids went crazy over them

because they said, we thought she just sang. Oh, wow. They didn't know she cooked. Yeah, so the kids have given me approval. Did you ever fear the quality of the food would be compromised during this whole process? What do you mean?

Because you're used to cooking in the kitchen. Everybody knows what your food tastes like, but then once you package it and everything else, were you afraid that they would make it not taste like yours? Never afraid because I tested everything about 20 times. Gotcha, gotcha. So that wasn't good, so do it again.

That wasn't good. So we did it like 10 or 15 times, some of the recipes. Because they have to taste like mine. Absolutely. Yes. Who cooks for you? Me. At home.

Always you cook for me? I don't trust nobody. Ask Kim. Kim, my assistant Kim, who says, she says in the morning, are you hungry? And I said, no. And I am. But she, no, she messed up one time with the fried egg or something. Oh, my gosh.

And she got nervous after that. And she said, I'm not cooking ever again for you. So I'm hungry in the morning. I could get up about 11 and out and make my own turkey bacon and some kind of fried egg or scrambled egg or cheese or something. But nobody cooks for me. My assistant Edward, he doesn't cook for me. I would be intimidated. It is.

Zuri can cook, but he never cooked for me. What, Zuri? Never. See, that's why she texted you on the house right there. That's why she texted you. And I know he can cook, but he's never cooked for me. Do you ever order food? Like you don't do Uber Eats what

it's not memorable oh no if you did cook it was good no if you did cook it was good and I know it but I don't remember that means not memorable not memorable

who's the one person you want to cook for that you haven't had the opportunity but you would love to cook for gosh that's a question Trump Trump why Trump you want to poison, that's a question. Trump. Trump? Why Trump?

You want a poison? That is a great answer. You want a pie? You want a pie? Because he's a Gemini. He's a Gemini. He carries a flip phone like I carry. We have so many things in common. Psych. What's that movie

with Octavia Butler? What was that? The Help? Oh, with the Butler? With the pie? With the pie? No. Psych. What's that movie with Octavia Butler? What was that? The Help? Oh, with the Butler, with the pie? With the pie. With the pie. No. Psych. But who besides Trump? Nobody.

Nobody? Nobody that I can think of at this moment. Come on, give me a- Barack Obama? Of course. Yes, I would love to cook for Barack. Yes, I would. And he would like it.

If these walls could talk, what's the craziest party you've ever had here? I can't remember. It could have been Tina Marie. Tina Marie. Oh, honey. She was performing in Philly, and we were buddies. She wrote a song for me. I was rapping.

A Tina Marie song she wrote for me. So you are a rapper. Not really. She was Rick James then, wasn't she? Yes. Wow, so they were here together? No, Tina was here, though. She was here.

Our piano room was over there. She got on the piano because my friend reminded me of this last night. He said, you remember when Tina was here back in the day and y'all were playing,

she was playing the piano and you were singing and then we did a song together after that in LA after that. But she was my good buddy. And I think I'm her child's godmother.

Her daughter's godmother. You're supposed to remember stuff like that. I know. I'm Laura Nero's son's godmother. I'm Cindy Larperson's godmother. I think I'm Tina Marie's baby's godmother. I think. Anyway, I have so many memories

and a lot of things that I forgot. So Rick James has been here too? no he's never been here but we've done a lot of work and stuff together Rick such a crazy wonderful man did you get certain rules the people who come in your house like okay now I don't want no reefer smoking I don't want no cocaine no no red wine that's it reefer you can smoke all you want go out there at that pool and just get it on. Which they did a lot. I never smoked, but my friends do. Who are some of the celebrities that you party with here?

Everybody. Teddy Pendergrass. I love Teddy Pendergrass. Did you watch his documentary on Showtime? Yes, I love it. That was amazing. I know. Tyrese. Why would you let Tyrese in your house, man? Because he's nice. Leave him alone. Because he's L. Leave him alone. Because

LL, Mariah, who else? A lot of people. Everybody's been here. Laura Nero. After Laura Nero saw me and my husband have Zuri, she wanted to get married to a husband

sort of like my husband and have a kid. So she did marry a white guy. My husband wasn't white. He's not white. We're still friends. With the same mannerisms as my husband, which was weird. She wanted everything I had. And she wanted a son.

Yeah. And she wanted a son. And she did have a son who she modeled after Zuri. It was just weird with her. Yeah. She took me to where did she take me? Japan. Yeah. And that's when I got pregnant

in Japan. So then she got pregnant in Japan. No, she got pregnant in New York. She was doing everything else like you. No, it's a crazy story. I always say to Zuri he was made in Japan. And he was. He hates that story. I'm sorry, Zuri.

But they want to know stuff. And so a lot of people who come to this house, so many I can't remember. Can you be friends with somebody who really wants to be like you like that, though? I don't think so. But she did. And she got married, a nice marriage and a nice son and she's no longer here. It wasn't a

scary situation though. No. It was just weird. It was special. Right. Yeah. That she wanted what I had. Yeah. And that was interesting to me because she had it all. I mean she had it all. But she wanted a simple life. You think you had a simple life? I'm so boring, girl, and simple.

I'm really laid back. Tell him, Whitney. Tell him, Whitney. Whitney's like, I can't really agree with that. I can't agree with that. She's like, but I had a simple life. Whitney's like, have you met yourself, Ms. LaMelle? Yes, but I'm very laid back. I'm very laid back you know contrary to popular belief

people think i'm like a wild child and that because i'm on stage a lot of people thought i did coke and all kind of drugs there are a few artists back in the day who give me cocaine and i thought it was sugar so i said why you give me the sugar they said no don't you get high i said on jesus yeah two people thought i did cocaine really they're still living anyway you know who you are i ain't talking but people think that patty labelle gets high like i get high and i don't that's because you come from that era that's all no it's because of my energy on stage okay Okay. Fair enough. They told me as well as I was on stage, kicking my shoes off, rolling on the floor. What drug did you take, Ms. LaBelle? None.

So you've never tried anything? Not even a little? Girl, are you serious? Not one puff of a... Somebody gave me a contact with reefer. You know, they were smoking. And when you're in the room with it, you feel it. Well, I didn't really feel it, but I could smell it.

So I'm so boring. I am just boring. There's nothing boring about that. I do wine and I do beer, but I am just boring I drink wine and I do beer but but I don't do stuff that people think I do what made you nervous because I can imagine the amount of pressure like you said there might have been at that time but what made you say I'm never doing this I never wanted to I never wanted to drive I can't drive I never wanted to swim I can't swim I never wanted to smoke a cigarette I never smoked a cigarette things that I never wanted to do I don't do but how come you never wanted to learn how to. I never smoked a cigarette. Things that I never wanted to do, I don't do. But how come you

never wanted to learn how to swim? Because. You had a pool. You asked about swimming. A drive. I don't know how to swim. So it was very hard. If we swim with black hair. I wasn't doing a bottom thing either. Nothing on this. No. This is not mine

but it's under mine. I don't want to get messed up boo. No, I don not mine, but it's under mine. I don't want to get it messed up, boo. No, I don't want to swim. And you never wanted to drive? No. Oh, I tried to drive. My ex-husband, a Thunderbird, he took me in Copse Creek Park where the trees are somewhere. I knocked the tree down, broke his car.

Wow. And I said, I'll never try again. Arm said, he said, please don't knock my car. So I've never driven after that. Wow said please don't knock my car so I've never driven after that I don't want to alright we got more with Patti LaBelle when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning Ordinary seven year old ground beam Treat me like corduroy, wear me out Arguments you earn me out Dripping bout your whereabouts

I can't keep no conflict with you Why can't we just rub it out? I don't want no savvy with you You know you my plug And I can't shake this habit, no I've been down, baby Heavy reminiscing Heavy on the missing

You wish it was Even though what it was I've been down Morning, everybody. And if you wonder if I hate you I hate you What I would do to make you feel Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Patti LaBelle. Do you still enjoy making music? Because, I mean, with your food flying out the doors,

you don't even have to sing ever again. Why don't you say, what's wrong with you, Heffa? Why haven't you made a song in 20 years? A R&B album. If you call me Isabella Heffa, I'm going to hook you. Don't you even think about it. What's wrong with you, Patty? Why haven't you made a song

in a long time? Isn't that awful? I'm waiting to exhale. I'm waiting for the right, right, right music and the right, right, right producers. And I a five people in mind and line that we're planning to record in September is this September I'm recording this month I'm gonna start music you'll get next year I promise it's been too long so beat me up next month if you see me with nothing no. Don't you beat Patty up.

No, no. If you see me that I've not started recording. Then you'll get it next year, right? They won't fight me. I love that question. You started, you need to finish. Oh, you know what? Thank you, Zuri.

Oh, Zuri said you started, you need to finish. I started last year. I have about six songs done. What's wrong with you, girl? I do have music already done that's going to come out next year and the rest of it is coming starting in September so is it a full project

is that what you're trying to do put out something because I know nowadays people just put out songs what do they call those DM's EP's no give me a whole production yes it's going to be phenomenal I'm telling you this now I'm sure you'll go on tour after

I stay on tour Google me she was just in Columbia, South Carolina that's why you're at Essence no and I leave I start tomorrow again I'm doing until next Monday I'm on tour come back home for three days

and go back out I'm never not working. Thank God. And you know what's amazing? That for all of this time that I've been in this business, I've worked without a hit record. What? Swear to God. You know, that's a good question. Missy Elliott said recently, is there a difference between hit records and classic records?

And if so, what is the difference? I don't know. All I know is I'm blessed because I haven't had a hit record out in 20 years but you got classics though yes I think to what it is I have stamina and I'm still performing without props without dancers and all the extra stuff so what they know that they're gonna get is a 100% real show from Patti LaBelle without a hit. So I'm glad you asked that question because I wonder why. It's because

I haven't gotten it all yet. Who's been the hardest person to get out of this house when they come over? Who's the guest that you was like, man, sorry, could you please tell them it's time to go? Charles. Wow. It could be my niece Sonya and Charles. It could be like the Ua and Charles Charles Okay It could be like

The Uber's outside This is so much fun Ask me something else You know I met Charles When I was 16 Really 16 years Where

He used to work I remember with Record label And Universal And he had Lost Boys And I used to Bang on his door

For records Are you serious And I was a young DJ Nobody cared about me At the time And I would bother the hell out of Charles. Did he give them to you? Oh, my God. He did.

After me bothering him all the time. Charles has history with so many people. He's turned me on to a lot of nice people. We should let Zuri and Charles come over here and talk about some of the business. Come on, guys. But look, I want to ask you one more question. Since you mentioned DMs a second ago, do you check yours? I have a flip phone.

I don't know what a DM is. I don't know when people say, well, he's in my DM or she's in my something. I say, what? I don't know none of that stuff. DMs are like kind of texts you. You're not missing nothing. They're trying to highlight you. Oh, is that what a DM is?

That's not the only thing. That's what we mean. It could be for work also. It could be for work also. Like somebody could send you a message. It could be a social media. That's all. Okay, whatever.

I don't have it. I do. She don't have it. I do. She don't check it. You check it. Do you check it? Because I'm sure there's some business in there. You know, amazing business. I am not that girl. I have to say. Oh, okay.

If you're just joining us, we're in Patti LaBelle's house. She's about to cook us breakfast. We're in Zuri's house. Miss Patti LaBelle's house. She's about to cook us breakfast. We're in Zuri's house. Miss Patti LaBelle's old house. Right. Now we have Charles Souton Zuri here joining us. Let's talk the business of everything

that Miss LaBelle is doing. She got the dessert. She got the breakfast line. Why is this so big for Miss LaBelle to be the entrepreneur she is right now? Over the years, being around her, enjoying her cooking like everything is the best and i was just blown away and that's why her food tastes the way it does it's the and when i say best it doesn't necessarily mean the most expensive she takes her time she uh selects

the fish that's the freshest if it's a tomato it's the and she explains why it is what it is so after time after about 10 years of tasting this food Zuri and I kind of got together and we knew that um Miss LaBelle and Martha Stewart were best friends and every year Martha would do these shows and she would invite Patty on the big show for the sales team and Zuri and and I was like, you know, Ms. LaBelle is our version of Martha Stewart. Patty will tell you, if she doesn't like anything, she will be honest. Like, there's no lying in her. So one day we went to Macy's

and literally took hundreds of pictures of everything that Martha had, from bedding to everything she had. And I said, why can't we do this? Because this is what she means to us in our community, right? And we came back, and I was nervous, and Zuri was nervous, and we sat and we talked to her. And we said, this is what we think you should be doing.

And she said, how do we do it? And I said, well, Ms. LaBelle, if you allow us to work with you, there's nothing that we can't get done. And she still to this day doesn't understand the magnitude of who she is and who will get on the phone because it's Patty LaBelle. And we were just off to the races. And the key to it is being ready, right? So when we got the call from Walmart, we were already ready. Zuri and I had set up the company

and we were just ready for this. And when we called Ms. LaBelle and said, can we use your recipe for this sweet potato pie? And she said, yeah, let's go. And the fact that she trusts us to work with her is mind blowing because you have to understand, this is the woman that used to watch me and Zuri out in the backyard with 300 girls screaming at her parties

they said you would be at the window talking about look at all these hoochie mamas that's what they said they said you're at the window playing hoochie city she said she said many many years ago ages ago a whole other life many years ago many years ago back in the day Lona he was just Charles' wingman

and for her to see that and to separate these are my boys my crazy little boys and Alex and Alex Thompson who's our partner well, to allow us to go on this journey with her has been amazing. Beyond just this, you know, at 78 years old, she started this business. She started this business about eight years ago. 78, still going.

Also, we help a lot of other entrepreneurs. We're working with Nori he told me because he knew we were coming today that we're allowed to talk about the guacamole that we're doing with that holy moly guacamole you know he gave permission I've been talking to Angelou Yee today about her coffee and us possibly working the thing about it is you, you see the end result. The most important thing that I want to stress is that it's great. It's in the stores.

We're in thousands of Walmarts, thousands of Targets. But it won't be successful unless folks go out and buy it. And I have to say, even though it's Patti LaBelle, you go in some of the stores, it's at your ankles. Unless you know it's there, you have to go in, you have to look for it. I proclaim, Cagley Bell is the new queen of breakfast. We got to get to this cooking, right? Yeah, I'm hungry.

Let's get to the food. Let's get to the food. Right on. So if you don't know, we're in Patty's original home. We're in Zori's house, Patty's original home. That's right. And I just want to say, this is a surreal experience to be able to be here with you. You know, this is something that we'll all, I'm sure, remember for the rest of our lives.

This is like an iconic place for us to be with such an iconic person. So I do want to, you know, before we eat, just thank you so much for having us. It's an honor. Like what you said about Ms. Franklin, it's the same thing with you. It's like, you know, you wanted the OGs. You wanted the elders. So just being here to be able to be like, man, we were at Patti LaBelle's old crib while she cooked. That's an experience that we'll get to talk about for the rest of our lives.

I was like, now I'm headed to Patti LaBelle's house right now. I was stunned. When I promised you this weekend, they were like, hey, can we meet? Oh, no, I got to go to Patti LaBelle's house so I can't. And can I say something? For you and your future, I'm proud of you. Thank you. Stuff that you're going to continue

to do. Thank you so much. My love is on you. Nice. I appreciate it. Now, Patty, she parked on the street and walked up. I did. I was like, I'm driving a Patty driver. I'm like, Patty invited me.

I'm driving a bad driver. Thank you, three. Let's say it one more time. Everybody, please go out. That's right. Support the brand. It's for us. It's by us. And if you don't see it,

ask for it. Is there a website or anything? Or it's just in store? Yep. Paddy'sGoodLife.com. We gon' eat. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Dancing with your daughter. It's DJ, MV, and Jaleen. It's a mama and a daughter at the red light right now dancing, living, and the mama reliving their old wild out days

while she take their daughter to school. Stop. Working on the headlight. Stop. Okay? Cut it out. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jesse Powell. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it.

On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, rest in peace to Jesse Powell and our condolences go out to his family. He unfortunately passed away. He was only 51 years old, but he did pass away at his Los Angeles home. You guys, we call this huge hit song, You. Now, his sister took to Instagram and said, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, and uncle, Jesse Powell.

He passed away peacefully in his L.A. home. The family asked for privacy at this time as we mourn this tremendous loss and celebrate his everlasting legacy. Jesse loved music and he especially loved his fans who supported him throughout his career. We want you all to know that you meant the world to him, the Powell family, and they

have not yet announced what his cause of death was. Rest in peace. That's right. Send the healing energy to his family for sure. 51 is too young. Way too young. That's right. Send the healing energy to his family for sure. And Dolan says absolutely. 51 is too young. Way too young. That's way too young to go. 51?

Mm-hmm. Jesus Christ. All right. Now, amidst these rumors of marital issues with his wife Giselle, Tom Brady did an interview on the SiriusXM podcast.

Well, it's his show, so it's not really an interview. Let's go with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray. Ooh, excuse me. Now, and Jim Gray. Excuse me. Now, here's what he had to say about football and finding peace and quiet on the field. Football and family has always been the most important thing to me.

So it's a good time of year. You know, it's interesting. We all kind of come alive. This is a really unique thing in life, you know, for the people that are, you know, in the arena. You know, you kind of feel this vibrancy to your life when you go out there. And to have the opportunity to run out in front of 90,000 fans and play a game that I love, since I've been four years old, it brings back just the most amazing memories in my life and so many important relationships, people that have really helped shape me into who I am. So

I'm forever indebted to the game. It's taught me so much. All right. Now, Giselle recently also did an interview for the first time talking about Tom Brady coming back out of retirement. And she said, this was in Elle magazine. She said, obviously, I have my concerns. This is a very violent sport. And I have my children and I would like him to be more present. She said, I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again, but ultimately I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for them. He needs to follow his joy too. So, you know, I'm sure that's a difficult thing and she's made her sacrifices, you know,

moving to be with him and he's acknowledged that as well. So he wants to make sure that he is more present, so we shall see. Tom Brady always said he was going to play until he was 45 years old. I mean, that's been his life plan for a long, long, long time. But he did retire and then come back. And he probably realized, clearly he realized, he was like, no, I'm not ready to retire. He wasn't finished.

He'd been saying he wanted to play until he was 45, nah, I'm not ready to retire. He wasn't finished. If his goal, he'd been saying he wanted to play until he was 45 for years. So he's sticking to that. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. I can see why that would be mad

because if you retire for two months, you probably planned out a whole year of festivities. Relaxing. You probably had nine vacations. You take the kids to school. You take the kids to their practices And then you want to un-retire

Yeah, and you know, according to sources She's concerned because it's such a dangerous sport And she wants to make sure She's right, but we way past that with Tom Brady Yeah, it's a dangerous sport for the last 30 years Tom Brady is 97 years old Tom Brady has been playing in the NFL for 63 years Tom Brady played when they had soft helmets When they had soft helmets, when they didn't have helmets Tom Brady has been playing in the NFL for 63 years. Tom Brady played when they had soft helmets.

They didn't have helmets. Tom Brady been around. If he ain't been hurt yet, I think he'll be A-OK. Who are you giving your donkey to? Speaking of the elderly, there's people out here raining on the elderly's parade. I need that all you people who

A bunch of...

It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty fun. Charlamagne the devil? the Day. That's pretty funny. Does Sharla mean the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Well, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, September 14th. Let me make sure. Wednesday, September 14th goes to all you digital D-heads.

Okay, all you social media scavengers who literally just comb the internet looking to ruin someone's good time. What are you talking about uncle charla well i'm talking about the word backlash all right whenever i see the word backlash that lets me know that somebody online is mad about something all right i hate broadband backlash first of all let me salute uh the tape i'm probably pronouncing this wrong the taewon veterans home okay which is a state-run facility for retired Army personnel in Taiwan. Give them a round of applause, Eddie, please. Okay.

Why is your Uncle Charlie, your brother, Lenard, saluting this Veterans Home in Taiwan? Because there is something called the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is an important holiday in Chinese culture. It's where people gather to celebrate the rice and wheat harvest of the season. Well, the Taoyuan veterans home decided to turn things up for this year's festivities and they hired a stripper to come do what strippers do best that's strip and dance now if you see the clip online it shows the stripper with the lacy lingerie on giving one of the elders in there a lap dance and throwing her breasts into his face now look the man doesn't mind at all. Not even a little bit.

He is squeezing this woman's ass and she pops that poom-poom for her granddad, all right? The other residents at the nursing home are clapping along and they are all loving this show. Can we hear some of the audio, Eddie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Just because you're old and in a nursing home doesn't mean you're dead. All right. These people still have pulses and they still have life. They don't want to spend the rest of their days eating jello and playing bingo and salute to that stripper. OK, drop on a clues bar for that stripper.

All right. She could have acted bougie and said, no, I'm not clapping cheeks for these citizens that are seniors. But she knew she had a service to do for these individuals enjoying their last days on this third rock from the sun. Now, the reason I'm giving all these Internet idiots donkey today is because the story in the news, the headline is backlash after nursing home hire strippers because the senior care facility was hit with backlash. What backlash from who? Why do we keep giving these digital D-heads this much power? If the elders in the senior citizen home didn't mind, if they live in their best life enjoying the show,

how are you going to be mad for them? How are you going to tell them what they should be mad about? Those are no kids. They wasn't being taken advantage of. They grown, grown, grown, grown, grown, grown, grown, grown. Okay, as long as they not complaining, why are you? And the senior care facility come on tay tay i want veterans home they had the audacity the unmitigated gall to apologize why y'all did nothing wrong they put out a statement that said the intention of the event

was to entertain residents and make them happy y'all did that we are very sorry for the offense that was caused who was offended play them old people again eddie i ain't hearing none of them being offended i saw the video they was happy they didn't even have to tip. They didn't even have to tip. Free lap dances for everybody. Okay? And y'all apologizing to who?

There is no name attached to the backlash. No organization attached to the backlash. Nobody in the old folks home complained. None of the people in the old folks home family complained. Yet we got this old folks home apologizing to blind backlash. This has to stop. Okay. Because honestly, this is the best thing I've seen and heard all week. All right. Watching these golden ages living their life like it's golden was incredible. How about instead of sitting around trying to steal someone's joy, raining on someone's Jurassic parade, how about you go find a way to entertain some old folks today?

Okay, remember on training day when Alonzo was trying to read his paper and Hoyt wouldn't shut up? So Alonzo put his paper down and said, you tell me a story. Listen. Know any stories? All right, I'll tell you a story. This is a newspaper, right? It's 90% bulls**t, but it's entertaining.

That's why I read it, because it entertains me. You won't let me read it so you entertain me with your boy see all you people that have backlash towards this y'all bs is not entertaining but now that's what y'all gotta do go to taiwan and tell these old folks a story since you interrupting their entertainment in the form of lap dances, okay? You have to go there now and tell them a story. Grandpa, grandma, in-between geriatric care got a lap dance, and y'all mad. You know why?

Because you too need a lap dance, alright? You're jealous. You're envious because they're old and still living their best life, and I hate that the Teohuan Veterans Home went back and forth with you niggas, alright? Please let Remy Ma give all you fools who had problems with these old people getting lap dances when the elders didn't even have a problem the biggest hee-haw.

Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. How can you be mad at that? How could you see a video of all those old people enjoying their life, getting the lap dance, and you decide to be mad? Who you mad for? They not mad.

What's the problem? Granddad can't get a lap dance? Grandma can't get a lap dance? Different kind of world we live in, brother. What song is that? How did they get jiggy today? I have no idea what that is. That's the bigger problem. That's bands that make a dance in Taiwan. That's what that is.

That's what I was told. I didn't hear no beat. I heard plenty of beat. You didn't hear it? Nope. Alright, well thank you for that donkey today. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. You need relationship advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Just just need real advice call up now for ask ye keep it real morning everybody it's dj envy angela ye charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's time for ask ye hello who's this i'm not gonna say my name okay all right so we'll go uh anonymous what's your question for you, Mama? So, yeah, me and my fiance were having an argument the other day and he tried to shame me. He was like, well, you were a stripper. It was like 30 days. It wasn't even a long time.

Right. And I felt like if we're trying to start a relationship, how could you throw something in my face that I told you in confidence? Just, you know, to let you know something that happened with me. Right. I'm just asking your opinion of the relationship. I don't know. I feel stuck in our relationship now. So is this something that he does all the time or he brought it up

during this last argument? During the last argument, he threw it in my face I said something to him about this whole demon kind of stuff. Okay. So he tried to go there with you because you came at him with something. So that was his defense. Right.

All right. Well, I think the best time to discuss something like this is when you're not in the middle of an argument and when emotions aren't high like they were at that time. But I also think it's important for you to take accountability. Like you said something to him that set him off. So then he tried to go low as well and say something that he knew would upset you. And I do think being part of a couple is knowing when you do argue, because there's going to be times that you don't get along and that you do argue,

that you have boundaries and that you let him know certain things that are off the table. And so I believe that when you guys are on good terms have a conversation about it tell him I told you something in confidence about something in my past that's made me who I am today that's part of my history and who knows we might not even be here together I know each other if things had changed and the timeline had changed and so if there's any questions that you have about it if it's something that continues to bother you, then this isn't a relationship that we can pursue. However, if you are understanding, as you were at the time that I told you and know that this is not something I want you to bring up and throw in my face during an argument, then we can move forward. Can we agree on that?

And I also think you take accountability for asking him, what are some things that you want to discuss too so that we know how we can move forward in a productive manner because clearly you said something that set him off and then he tried to respond and go lower than you. You know what? I thank you so much. You just saved my relationship. I wish you the best in everything that

you do. Thank you so much Angelique, Charlamagne, and the whole Breakfast Club. Thank you mama. Love queen so much, Angelie Yee, Charlamagne, and the whole Breakfast Club. Thank you, Mama. Love, Queen. Alright, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Get some real advice with Angelie Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angelie Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Good morning, everyone. Good morning. So my question for Yee is

I've been with my woman for over 10 years. We're about to be 11 years in in December. And at this point, I'm asking her for a ring. And she hasn't given me like a solidified answer. It's like, it's coming soon.

And it's like, when? Because I don't think I'm going to be 11 years in and don't have a ring. So you guys have discussed already that the plan is to get married and she wants to do that. Yes. How come you don't propose? Because I want to be proposed too. I mean, I have a ring for her. I'm not going to be the one to propose.

Okay. What if she were to ask you, where's the ring? Where's the ring? Oh, boy. I don't have it yet. No, but I do think it's important to let people know this is something that means a lot to you. She's telling you it's coming. Maybe she wants to surprise you because, you know, holidays are coming up and not to short of a period of time.

And so I think you give it a deadline. Be like, look, we've been together. It's going on 11 years and sometime before March of next year. I want to make sure that we're engaged. Yeah, that sounds good. I know I'm a little nosy, so I'm like always in her plans, but it's like hurry up so we can just go to the courthouse. I don't know, whatever.

Yeah, and that's the main thing, right? I love you so much. I want to be with you forever. I don't care if we have a real wedding or what it is or, you know, what this ring is. I just want us to be together, and that's the main thing. And she apparently went to tour. She would tell you she's not ready, but maybe want us to be together. And that's the main thing. And she apparently went to tour. She would tell you she's not ready, but maybe she's getting it together.

Maybe she has a ring being made. Maybe she's saving it for a special occasion. She might have something planned. But that's why I think you just say, look, my goal is by March, I want us to be engaged. And I want us to set a date. And that is something that's important to me. We've been together almost 11 years. We both agree that we are forever.

So I just want to make, I'm giving you your space to do what you have to do, but I just want to let you know that's my timeline. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. That's a compromise. Well, I'm trying.

Okay. All right. Ask E, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call her. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes. And who is the first rapper to record a mixtape in a Rolls Royce? We'll tell you who.

All right. We'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.

This is The Rumor Report. Talk Your Child Is Turned Against You. And Teddy Riley is the special guest. You know, he had posted on Instagram that he hasn't seen his son in three years. So here's the trailer for today's episode how does it feel to not be able to see your baby brother it feels like one of the kids are missing right and he's the same age as my daughter I was there when he was born I was at the house so they're supposed to be best friends and they don't have that. They used to, when they were young,

it was like they wouldn't do anything. Yeah, two peas in a pod. This is so sad to hear. What about for you, TJ? It's sad, because I have kind of like a tight relationship with all my brothers, so for him not to be there, it's like somebody's missing. All right.

And that's also a daughter who was put in the middle of her parents' war and the parents who put her there are also on the episode for 10 years. She didn't speak to her father then cut ties with her mother

for eight years and now they're all coming together at the table with a message. All right. Now let's talk about Iceware Vezzo. He is recording a mixtape in a Rolls Royce.

He says he's the first rapper to ever do that. I ain't gonna lie, I've been stalking, bro. I'm the first rapper to do a song in the back of a ghost. Really, we're doing a whole mixtape. I know for a fact I'm the first rapper to do that. I ain't trying to hit none of that s***. You heard? You got it.

You got it. I'm first rapper to do that. I ain't trying to hit none of this You know as you guys recall Soulja Boy produced his album he was the first rapper to do that on a private jet Now the first rapper to record his album and produce his album on a private jet I mean it's it's way easy now cuz now you got a laptop and you can record on your laptop and you can produce on your laptop. But I think it's great. Take that time when you're going to be sitting on that jet in the back of that car doing nothing. Do some work. I do that on JetBlue all the time.

What you do? Record your album? No, I do work. I do work on JetBlue all the time. I can't do it in the back of no Uber, though, because I get costed. So I can't look down at my laptop on the Uber. I can do it on the plane, though. I fall asleep on the plane all the time.

Matter of fact, I don't even log on to nothing. I don't ever get the Wi-Fi. I just go to sleep. Basically, what we're saying is when you have the idle time, do some work. Yeah, there you go. Or get some sleep. Let them do the jets and the phantoms or whatever. I'm over here acting my wage in the Ubers and the Jet Blues, okay?

All right, now Cardi B made a surprise visit to her former middle school as part of New York's Community Capacity Development Organization. She went to IS232 in Morris Heights in the Bronx and she gave a very motivational speech to the students and also gave the school a donation for $100,000. So I'm hoping we can have amazing, amazing, amazing after school activities. Maybe tutoring.

Or maybe something fun. Maybe a music program. Y'all like music? Y'all like to dance? But I will be donating $100,000. That's amazing. Dropping the clues bombs for body. That's what I'm talking about.

That's dope. That's how you flex. Folks are always flexing with what they have. You really want to flex? Show me what you're doing for other people. That's what I like to see. Dropping the clues bombs for body. And other important information,

Ryan Reynolds had a life-saving colonoscopy, and he caught it all on video. He had a subtle polyp on his colon during his first colonoscopy. And he wanted to film this and show it to y'all to de-stigmatize the procedure. You know, he's the Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds. Alright, so he uploaded this video on his YouTube yesterday. I'm an 80ham cracker. You did such a good prep that I was able to find an extremely subtle polyp

that was on the right side of your colon. This was potentially life-saving for you. I'm not kidding, I'm not being overly dramatic. I mean, this is exactly why you do this, okay? You had no symptoms. Yeah. All right, man. Okay. Yeah. I right, man. Yeah.

I'm thrilled for you. Thank you so much for this. And the colon cancer awareness organization he partnered up with is called Lead From Behind. Drop one of the clues, boss, for that amazing name. I'm going to get mine next month.

I have my appointment. You know, Ryan Reynolds is 45. I'm 44. It's about that time. Okay. Is that your first know Ryan Reynolds is 45. I'm 44. It's about that time. Okay. Is that your first one? This is my first one. Okay.

Yeah. Because the age used to be 50, but then it got reduced to 45. 45. Yeah. And I don't know if a lot of people know that. So a lot of people will be waiting until they're 50 to go get their colonoscopy. And a lot of times it might be too late. So I got my appointment next month, and I will not be recording it.

All right, well, colon cancer is preventable. And if you're 45 years or older, ask your doctor about getting colonoscopy, and there you have it. All right. That is your rumor report. All right, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Let's go. Good morning, everybody.
