Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Listen to season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, my undeadly darlings. It's Teresa, your resident ghost host.
Starting point is 00:02:13 And do I have a treat for you. Haunting is crawling out from the shadows, and it's going to be devilishly good. We've got chills, thrills, and stories that'll make you wish the lights stayed on. So join me, won't you? Let's dive into the eerie unknown together. Sleep tight, if you can. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! Good morning, USA! That's right. Good morning on this fine Wednesday. What's happening? It is Wednesday. It is hump day. Middle of the week.
Starting point is 00:03:06 All you parents, get your asses up. Get ready to take your kids to school. Yep. And Monday was a holiday, so it still feels like Tuesday today. No. No, it feels like Wednesday to me. It feels like Wednesday to me. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It definitely feels like Wednesday. So who's all the parents taking their kids to school, though, man? I'm not going to front. I envy y'all. I'm not going to lie. I be thinking about that. I'm like, damn, man. I got not going to front. I envy y'all. I'm not going to lie. I be thinking about that. I'm like, damn, man. I got four kids, but
Starting point is 00:03:28 three of them are in school. So it's like, you know, the wife got to do all those duties and it's all different ages. So it's from high school to elementary school to pre-K. And I'm like, I want to do that. I want to take the kids to school. Yeah, because the pickup is not the same. No. Does anybody take a school bus to school?
Starting point is 00:03:44 No, I don't play that. I used to have to take the bus. Yeah, me too. I had to take public transportation and then at one point we had a yellow bus. You know, I never took a yellow bus. I always had to take public transportation. You never took the yellow bus? You never took a bus that was your complexion? Nope. I don't believe that.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I definitely took the yellow bus, but I mean, nah. My school was like almost an hour away. Yeah, mine was about 40 minutes to an hour away, too. And I had to take three buses to get to school. All I know is if I ever retire from morning radio, it's simply because I want to take my kids to school in the morning. Okay, that is a privilege.
Starting point is 00:04:19 That's something that parents should appreciate. It's the best thing in the world. When the pandemic hit and the kids were doing school virtually, it was one of the best things. I got to wake the kids up. You got to get them ready. Oh, man. I enjoyed it a lot. I kind of feel like part of the fun of going to school was the bus ride and coming home.
Starting point is 00:04:36 It was like a party on the bus. But more coming home. Going to school, it was always dreadful waiting for that bus. And especially in New York, where sometimes in the winter it just gets cold. And it's just cold for no reason. You had to put on long johns, extra socks, and boots, and all that. That wasn't fun. I also think it's different for kids now,
Starting point is 00:04:51 because kids are always so connected. Back in the day when we was on the bus, that's like when we probably first saw our friends for the day. I talked to them. You know what I mean? Now these kids never stop talking to each other, for the most part. They probably could do some fun TikToks on the bus, have a good time. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I just want to take my kids to school. That's all. Okay. I used to hate when my parents took me to school. I was like, drop me off two blocks away. Did you? Yeah, I did. But also because they didn't have a nice car, so you'd be embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Jesus Christ. I was like, drop me two blocks away. Nah, I didn't care. I wanted my parents. My kids love when I drop them off. They enjoy it. And you get to have conversations with them. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:27 You get to know what's on their mind for the day. You know, you get to see what they're looking forward to for the day. And then I was always doing my homework still. And then one time, I used to always get car sick. And I remember trying to do my homework. And then as soon as we got there, I threw up all over my books. Jesus Christ. My daughter yesterday, she made me a keychain for my birthday.
Starting point is 00:05:43 She was like, Daddy, I made you a keychain. You can put it on your book bag. She was like, book bag? I'm getting old. I should have said backpack. I was like, you little mother effer. You ain't old. But anyway, let's get the show cracking.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Regina Hall will be joining us this morning. Oh, man. Honk if you see. What is it called? Honk for Jesus. Honk for Jesus. Honk if you love Jesus. Honk if you see Jesus.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah, I said what? Honk what? Honk if you love Jesus. Honk. Not, yeah. I said honk. What are you saying? What do you think I said? Honky. I didn Jesus. Honk. I said honk. What do you think I said? Honky.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I didn't say honky. I don't think there's no white people in that movie, is there? Not that I can remember. I'm serious. There ain't no white people in that movie. Now that I think about it. Honk if you love Jesus is out right now on Peacock. What did I say?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Honk if you love Jesus. That's not what it's called? It's called Honk for Jesus. Oh, Honk for Jesus. What's wrongk if you love Jesus. That's not what it's called? It's called Honk for Jesus. Oh, Honk for Jesus. What's wrong with saying you love Jesus? Because that's not the name of the movie. Well, Honk for Jesus is out right now with Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall. And Regina's going to come talk to us about it this morning.
Starting point is 00:06:37 This guy said Honky for Jesus. Honks for Jesus. I ain't saying nothing about no Honkies for Jesus. Okay? By the way, that's Christianity. Right? That's exactly what that is. Geesh. Okay? honkies for Jesus. Okay? By the way, that's Christianity. Right? That's exactly what that is. Sheesh.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Okay? Honkies for Jesus is Christianity. But it's a very funny but dark satirical movie. And so it was great. I enjoyed it. I actually went to the movies to see it. All right. Well, let's start the show.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Front page news, what we talking about? Well, let's talk about the, man, all right, let's keep it light.

Starting point is 00:07:58 conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 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 Kaperburg.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
Starting point is 00:09:47 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since Season 1, and others are just tuning in.

Starting point is 00:12:10 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, last night in the WNBA playoffs, the Sun beat the Sky 104-80, and the Aces beat the Storm 110-98. Man, drop on the clues bombs for the South Carolina legend, Asia Wilson.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And the Las Vegas Aces for making it to the WNBA finals. What Asia had, like, what, 34 points, 11 rebounds last night? She had 23 points and 13 rebounds. 23 points, 13 rebounds? Must have been the game before then. 34 points. Yeah, they won the series 3-1. Yeah, so she had, like, what, 34 and 11 must have been the game before then. 34 points. Yeah, they won the series 3-1. Yeah, so she like with 34 and 11 must have been the game before.
Starting point is 00:12:48 How much did she have last night? 23 points, 13 rebounds. Dropping the clues bombs for Asia Wilson, man. Big cock energy. Asia had 34 points, 11 rebounds. She did, right? I know, I ain't tripping. Asia Wilson scores 23 points and 13 rebounds last night.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Just on these notes. Without game four? I think game three she had 34-11. Yeah, this was game four last night. They won three to one. Either way, Asia Wilson beat ball in game three. Without game three, she had 34-11. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Okay. Okay. All right. And with the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun, their series is tied 2-2. So we'll see who's going to the finals. Also, Sue Bird retired from the game after their playoff loss in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:13:30 And here's what she had to say after the game. It has been my honor to play for this franchise, to play for these fans. I mean, I don't know what else to say. She had already announced in June that this would be her last season. She said she's so thankful for 20 years and that she is going to miss it so much, but she is not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:52 At 41 years old, she is one of the game's best point guards of all time, four-time WNBA champion, 13-time All-Star, five-time Olympic gold medalist, two-time NCAA champion, and five-time EuroLeague champion. She had a great career. Absolutely. All right, now Kevin Durant, in the meantime, is upset over his rating on NBA 2K23. You know that's coming out on Friday, so a lot of people cannot wait.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I know that game is going to go crazy and be hard to get. But he tweeted out, A, at Ronnie2K, I'm going to need an explanation on why I'm not a 99. This has become laughable because he's a 96 when it comes to the ratings. Probably because he got swept in the first round of the playoffs last year. And prior to that, he got knocked out in the second round. I mean, don't get me wrong, KD. It's probably based on his stats, though.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Whatever his stats are, that's usually how I think they do the ratings, though. I mean, KD be balling, but I don't know. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe they feel like you got to take your team to a certain level. Yeah, I don't think it sells out anymore because I think these kids the ratings, though. I mean, KD be balling, but I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they feel like you got to take your team to a certain level. Yeah, I don't think it sells out anymore because I think these kids can order it online now. Oh, so yeah, you can just download it. Yeah, my son never goes to the store anymore. He just downloads it and he never has a problem.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Do people care about having the actual game? No. Because then J. Cole has that special cover. They just download it. Yeah, I think that's like, Karen, if you got the CD still. As long as you got the music on your phone, you don't care. Yeah, he download it. My son has never went to the store to buy it.
Starting point is 00:15:11 They just download it. All right. Well, look, it shows you that I don't really play video games like that. Oh, you're just old. It's okay. I mean, I don't play video games like that. Me neither. I wouldn't know.

Starting point is 00:21:11 That's right. Do not let people touch my hair. This white lady decides she wants to touch my hair and then get mad when I slap her hand. That's right. You did nothing wrong. You know, and that's what they... The police told me I did something wrong. I told them, I said, well, that was a fault.
Starting point is 00:21:27 She touched my hair without permission. That's right. I tell my daughters that all the time. I cannot stand it, man. Oh, my God. It's like, yo, these little white kids are drawn to my daughter's hair when they go to school. And I don't like it. So every time that you touch my hair, if you touch a woman's hair, a black woman's hair,
Starting point is 00:21:45 you deserve to get slapped. That's all I have to say. Okay. Keep your hands to yourself. Thank you, Carla. Y'all have a blessed one. You too, ma'am. Get it off your chest.

Starting point is 00:27:02 alright and Justin Bieber is pausing his world tour again, his justice tour, and that's to focus on his health. He went on his Instagram stories to announce the news, and he said he performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me. This past weekend, I performed at Rock in Rio, and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil.
Starting point is 00:27:22 After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me, and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be okay, but I need time to rest and get better. I love it. I don't see how you can be mad at any individual for putting themselves first. You know how much money these people are putting to the side to put themselves first? I respect it.

And this is the fifth time he has paused or postponed this tour for his March 2021 album.

Listen to I Do Part Two on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Details. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some
Starting point is 00:33:59 front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? Well, police have found the body of a woman, Eliza Fletcher. She was kidnapped and this was in Memphis. She had got up for her jog on Friday and there's video footage where you can see there's an SUV
Starting point is 00:34:16 that is driving past her and then it waits for her in a parking lot and then you can see a person get out and violently drag her into the car. Now, unfortunately, her body was discovered. They were still hoping that she would be found alive, but unfortunately, that did not happen. Eliza Fletcher was a mother of two young boys, an elementary school teacher.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Her grandfather was a billionaire hardware company magnate, and the person who abducted her actually had previously served 20 years in prison for another violent kidnapping he had kidnapped somebody and forced them to go to the atm machine and take out some money so really a sad situation cleotha abstin he's 38 years old has been charged with her murder and kidnapping uh in the affidavit they also talk about how they found Eliza Fletcher. They said it was the smell of a decaying corpse that led a police search and rescue team to discover her body.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And so that was in high grass near a vacant home on Victor Street in South Memphis. We do want to offer our condolences to her family. They had previously offered a $50,000 reward for her whereabouts. Now, in the meantime, Abston is scheduled
Starting point is 00:35:27 to return to court today to be arraigned on additional charges of first degree murder, premeditated murder, and first degree perpetration of kidnapping. He's currently being held on $500,000 bail. Definitely sending her family healing energy. There was no motive? He just...
Starting point is 00:35:43 It seems like he just abducted her, saw her jogging, and then waited for her. And he served 20 years for doing something similar. Yeah, where he had somebody go to the ATM and take out money. He was 16 at the time when he did that and then served 20 years in prison when he did that. He forced an attorney into the trunk of a car and made him take out that money from that car. Jesus. So, again, that has to be such an awful situation for the family to have to deal with. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Now, Juul is agreeing to pay nearly $440 million, and that is to settle an investigation by dozens of states into the marketing of their e-cigarette products. You guys know the Juul vaping and e-cigarette products. It's banned, right? Yeah, they've blamed Juul for an increase in vaping among teenagers across the United States. And so that's following a two-year investigation led by Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon. The company has to pay out the amount over a period of six to ten years. Now here is Connecticut Attorney General William Tong talking about Juul's advertising
Starting point is 00:36:46 campaigns. Juul can no longer fund education programs in schools. Okay. Juul cannot depict persons in any marketing under the age of 35. They can't use cartoons like Joe Camel. No paid product placement in movies or television shows. No more misrepresentations about nicotine quantity, sponsorships, and naming rights. Billboards are gone. That's a big deal for us. Social media advertising. At the end of the day, this is about protecting our kids and protecting all of us from a very significant public health risk. I'm not mad at it, but why aren't they doing this with all tobacco
Starting point is 00:37:27 products? Like, shouldn't the same apply to cigarettes and all forms of nicotine? Why is it just the e-cigarettes? They don't cater to kids. Yeah, they're talking about the marketing of these products. Why don't they cater to kids? Because it's like cartoons and it's where they market their products.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Joe Camel was a cartoon. That's why they said similar to Joe Camel. I don't think they're allowed to do that. Oh, you can't do Joe Camel anymore? Uh-huh. And that was the reason why, if you remember, Chance was up there. What about the Marlboro man? I don't know. But you remember Chance was up there and he was like, he was trying to buy all the jewels
Starting point is 00:37:55 that's out there because he know that they're banned and he's into the jewels. Well, actually, it was banned in July, but then they did appeal that decision. So in July, the FDA suspended the ban of Juul e-cigarettes as they're appealing that decision. Okay. So right now, yes, you still can get it until they officially ban it. Oh, I'm lying. Tobacco billboards have been permanently banned since 1999. Yeah, it's been a long time. They're not allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Well, you didn't know that. But it's been banned since 1999. For a long time. They're not allowed to do that. Well, you didn't know that. But it's been a man since 1999. For a long time. Wow. That's why they actually had to put all those disclaimers on there and everything and let you know that you could die from doing it. Remember, they made them do all of that. So give people those warnings before they buy them instead of just having them in the
Starting point is 00:38:37 stores. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss E. Now, when we come back, who's joining us, guys? Regina Hall. Regina Hall. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, who's joining us, guys? Regina Hall. The legendary Regina Hall.
Starting point is 00:38:48 You've seen, what's it called? Honk for Jesus? I think you got it right. That's what it is? Honk for Jesus. Honk for Jesus. Save your soul.
Starting point is 00:38:54 It's Sterling K. Brown. She's here to talk about that and more. All right. So we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legendary Regina Hall in the building. How are you, Miss Hall? I'm so good. Happy to be here. How you feeling?
Starting point is 00:39:17 I was good. It's raining in New York. I was ready for some sunny weather. Well, your hair looks good. Thank you. Well, you know, that's the good thing about a wig. Oh, okay. That's a good wig. It's a good one, right? Yeah, I didn't even know.
Starting point is 00:39:29 But I was telling you that I went to go see Honk for Jesus in the movies and I haven't been to the movie theater since before the pandemic. So it was a great experience to go and for that to be like the first movie I went back to see, it felt good. Well, thank you for going to the movies. I have to say when I for going to the movies because yeah it's i have to say i i
Starting point is 00:39:46 when i started going back the first time i went i was like it's a nice experience i watched it on peacock oh you did that it all counts i thought it was also part of your production company right rh negative yeah it's the first thing that's a huge deal yeah we were excited you know the evo twins they're i just like them they a nice, I just think they have an interesting point of view about things, especially right now. So it was their writing debut also, right, for a feature? Okay, so explain it. So break it all down for us so we know. So basically, the Evo twins wrote a script.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They did a short before we even came to be. Sent the script. I read the script, loved it, and watched the short. And then they went out and raised the money. And we shot the film in Atlanta. It made it into Sundance. And then Jordan Peele actually was the one whose deal is
Starting point is 00:40:35 at Focus that loved it. And then Focus Universal ended up buying it. That's an amazing first look for all of you. Yeah. I thought it was going to be a straight comedy. But then it got real dark a little bit. What did you think when you saw the script? I thought a lot of things, probably. But yeah, there was a point where you read it and you're like, oh, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And then it just starts taking turns. But I was happy that it has something to say. Absolutely. I really have to know, did you have any reservations when you first read the script? Because religious folks don't play about church and religion and Jesus. Yeah. So did you have any reservations when you first read the script? Because religious folks don't play about church and religion and Jesus. So did you have any reservations because of that? We knew that there were going to be people and groups who were not necessarily going to enjoy the movie. But no, I mean, I think I like the world and the character.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And I mean, I think that's a part of what, you know, art has the ability to do. So, you know, I mean, I thought they came from a very respectful place. But, you know, those are issues that churches have faced publicly, privately. So it's not like we expose something, but I guess it maybe hasn't been done in a movie. But yeah, I mean, I certainly was aware that there could be, I mean, Sterling too. But I think because we both do respect the church, we felt like it was at least coming from a place of good intention. I saw a lot of people tweeting, this is Oscars worthy. And this is Regina Hall's Oscar moment. What did you think about that?
Starting point is 00:41:58 Did you see all of that as it was trending on social media? You know, I'm not on Twitter, but that is so nice to hear. One of my friends called and said, baby, it's doing well on Twitter. You did a phenomenal job in that, though. I have to say, as Trinity was your character, but seeing how you were able to flip from being like the first lady in the church
Starting point is 00:42:20 to being angry, to telling somebody, go f*** yourself, to saying God bless you, you know, in the span of being angry to selling somebody go f*** yourself to saying God bless you you know in the span of just a few seconds I mean I thought you did an amazing job how did you feel while you were playing this role and how did you even prepare for it there there's a lot of information and like uh with first ladies online YouTube they have a lot of shows I spoke to some but they do have shows and some more prominent first ladies I looked at a lot of their stuff and I mean, I just did research. I think, you know, it's all what you're married. Right. So we will never know what your wife does to support you.
Starting point is 00:42:56 But I'm going to assume it's a lot. Right. Oh, absolutely. So I just think is that idea that you might not see what a spouse, in this this case a first lady of a church does for the support when her you know man is facing public kind of difficult situations but then they also have a real issue and then of course she has her relationship to god and i think that's why she feels very committed to the covenant of marriage. You think you could stand by a man who had those specific allegations? No. Well, Regina couldn't.
Starting point is 00:43:33 No. Regina couldn't. That bedroom scene, I was like, no. Oh, my God. I know. No, ma'am. I know. That was sad, right?
Starting point is 00:43:40 Too much of a sacrifice. Laying there mad as hell. Yeah, unfulfilled can we do it the other way this time like what I know right but I really think that she thought this is the crossroad he's facing we can pray this
Starting point is 00:43:55 away and then you saw the scene with her mother I think that was the reason she felt compelled to have this thing you feel like you can't get a divorce. Like, it's the worst thing. My grandfather used to tell my mom all the time, like, no matter what, divorce is wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You have to stay married. Once you get married, it's forever. They feel like it could divide the church, you know? And then, like, so sometimes, even if they're living separate lives publicly, they'll just stay together. But that's the beauty of the movie. The beauty of the movie shows that you can be human.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Like, y'all are still human even though you're the past and the first lady. Yeah. I mean, I think, listen, he has his things that he, I don't even want to say he struggles with. Because that makes it seem like it's something bad. He has his reality of who he is that he just can't really live out. Publicly. Publicly. Right. He can really live out publicly he can't stop himself and like maybe if he
Starting point is 00:44:50 were allowed to do him they would have been best friends she would have met somebody else that was more appropriate and then he would have met someone who was more appropriate and then they would have gone to dinner together and you wouldn't have the bedroom scene can you imagine that?
Starting point is 00:45:05 Now picture this in real life, Regina. No, when I read the bedroom scene, I was like, this is worse than doing a love scene. Like it was more awkward for us to do that scene than if we had done like a hot and heavy scene.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Just because of the subject matter and the dialogue. It was sad. She wasn't getting no less. She'd lay there mad because that would piss you off. Oh, I mean, yeah. And that's the reality of how it was always happening. That was Oscar worthy. To look at disappointment on your face
Starting point is 00:45:39 after you did what you did to him. And then he slept good. Just went to bed. He did. No did to him. And then he slept good. Just went to bed. He did. No shame. None. No. You mentioned seeing Trinity and her mom.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And I was thinking about that because I think the question was, she said she kept going back to the Bible to pray for her marriage. You asked her how long and she basically was like, until he died. Do you think that the Bible clouds
Starting point is 00:46:01 like our natural instincts and decision-making skills sometimes? Yeah, I think it, you know, I think there's interpretations. And if you if you do believe that marriage is a covenant, then people are like, you do not break that covenant because the covenant involves God. It's also like you marry God. It's complicated because a belief is your faith. Right. So, I mean, it's hard to say to someone that's not true if
Starting point is 00:46:26 it's what you really believe like do you believe that that what like would you divorce under any well under any circumstance um i believe it for better or worse but how worse like how bad is the word you know what i mean right yeah they had a pretty worse but i think she thought they could pray that away yeah Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was over. And I feel like when you read the Bible, like even God gets fed up at certain points. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:46:53 I mean, I agree. I just think it's like some people think about how it looks on the outside. I just, you know, it's tough. And it depends on the generation. I think my mother's generation definitely was like, you don't divorce. All right. We got more with Regina Hall when we come back back don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning Everybody is DJ envy Angela. Yee Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club We're still kicking it with Regina Hall Yee how much pressure is it for you when you think about how people look at you from the outside like how much you put out?
Starting point is 00:47:21 There for people to know about you personally I mean I think I'm instinctively private but you know I just grew up in a different generation where you know you did you and nobody knew I mean that's just it's just how I lived so it's just how I am but I mean I will say this I've had stuff that's very wrong I don't even address especially dating stuff I don't address it but there's one that I would clear up because it was untrue and he's not here and that was like Chadwick Boseman and that like I ran into him at Vanity Fair party and people assumed we dated and his fiance was right behind us and they got married and they're married and he was never inappropriate and like only if it's someone that if it's like and I saw
Starting point is 00:48:02 you and like because you're married, I've met your wife. I always like that to be clear because I would never want a I would never if that happened to me before. Crazy story is I was going it was me and two friends and I was campaigning for Obama to become president in his first term. And there was a gentleman who was with us, like how you know a part of the nevada democratic thing and he was great and um we had to go to three places and then like i didn't realize it and my feet were hurting and so i was like can you get me some i'd never campaigned and he got me flip-flops and he got three pair just because we were annoying it was me and sanan our friend lee and he was just like he didn't want to keep going back to the store so he got three three pair for me, like they were $5 each. And I was like, I said,
Starting point is 00:48:48 you got three, he's like, they're $5 each. And then I think we went to a party to campaign. And I was like, are you going to dance? And he's like, I'll dance when Obama wins. And then we went to a church and we were talking about what his issue was. And he was almost a pastor at one time. And I was like, oh, so were you celibate? And he looked at me and I was like, oh my goodness, were you a fornicator? And he said, what does that even mean? And I said, someone who has sex before marriage.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And he said, I know what that means. I said, well, what do they call men who had sex before marriage? And he said, men. We had a whole thing. But anyway, the day Obama was elected, he had a heart attack and passed. No. But the week before that, he sent me and had sent me an email.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Emails. The email involved all of us that were there. But the email said, I wrote, thanks so much for all of my expensive shoes. And then and I said, you'll always be my favorite fornicator. And then he wrote back is the pot calling the kettle black. And then and then I think I said, pot calling the kettle black and then i and then i think i said you owe me a dance because obama was winning and his wife found those oh my god and he was a very faithful man he did not try there was nothing inappropriate in his behavior
Starting point is 00:49:57 i actually saw pictures of his wife he told us he was like if he doesn't win this election my wife is going to kill me it was and um is that why he had a heart attack? And she didn't know. He just, he was just, he had a heart attack. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:09 He just was driving, going to pick up. And his wife found that. And I, I never, um, I mean, I,
Starting point is 00:50:14 we did talk to her, but just, I just think sometimes for women, I just always want them to know that like, you know, you're not, that's not, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And that's not even me, but it wasn't her man. Right. You know, it's not even the man's get down. If I see you, you know, you're not sure. That's not. Yeah. And that's not even me. But it wasn't her man. Right. You know, it's not even the man's get down. If I see you, you know, I want him to be like he didn't try anything. And like we were talking. So only in those situations when I'm like, then there's a spouse because I just think as a wife, it's not.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I could see how that email. That's a very specific email. That one is like, I don't know how you explain that. Oh, my goodness. And it was. And my my boyfriend at the time i was like what should i do and he's like she's upset she's found the emails you got to let it just wait but i did tell her and and it was an email chain and i think sanah wrote back and was like oh no it was a joke but of course you're gonna say it's a joke. But, of course, you're going to say it's a joke. Yeah. Right? And she probably was hurting already. Of course.
Starting point is 00:51:05 And so that just added on to it. And she thinks. So that's why I'm always conscious for, you know, people in relationships. I never heard the one with you and Chadwick. You don't hear nothing about you. Like, you clean out here. Well, that's nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Got to create something. Oh, and they will make up some stuff. Don't think they won't. I know. I know. But when there's something wonderful to share, I will. What realization? See, I can't talk about the movie without talking about the movie.
Starting point is 00:51:30 But what realization do you think Trinity came to at the end of the movie? I just think she realized that she's got to stand up and have some boundaries for herself. I think there was something about the end when he was like, they're here for me. I think she realized her husband was like selfish like not that she didn't but she just saw like he has not seen anything that i've done yeah did she step out also see that's where i thought it was going oh in the beginning there was a point where it felt like did she step out too she no okay i was confused about that because i felt like they alluded to it at one point. That's what I thought too.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Because in my mind, I was like, hey, they're not going to do that. That would be too predictable, right? If it was just him. I mean, the twist was good. I just thought of him with some women, but it's just like, she must have stepped out. It might be her.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Yeah. That's what I thought it was going. No. She really loved him. You know, she does love him. She just, it's just, he just has no attraction to her. She's not his type. I could not understand it.
Starting point is 00:52:33 I literally said that to myself like five or six times. I'm like, you got Regina. I mean, my mom, I'm like, that's Regina Hall. What are you doing? He was like, nobody's doing. And I have to say, Sterling was, Sterling, he's so much fun. And he's so funny. Like, totally just came and like, nobody's. And I have to say, Sterling was Sterling. He's so much fun. And he's so funny. Like, totally just came and like embodied that character.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And like during the actual filming of the scene, we were both like this. He was like, this is terrible. He felt bad that he had to do it as a character. But yeah, I think, you know, I think they have a complicated relationship. It's interesting, though, because it felt like it felt like a pilot because it feels like it's so much more to explore with those
Starting point is 00:53:07 characters like when it was over I was like nah they can't end like this I need to see more I know that ending was so sudden I was like
Starting point is 00:53:13 yeah I mean I think the idea they wanted to leave with is things definitely won't be the same right I mean I think we saw that
Starting point is 00:53:20 Heaven's House was really crowded we had the Devout Five the Devout five. The devout five were not... There's five people here. Yeah, you know, there was a tweet
Starting point is 00:53:28 that said the only unrealistic thing about the movie was the congregation leaving after the scandal. Oh, yeah. Do they not leave, though? Have there been
Starting point is 00:53:37 some where they've left? I don't think so, man. Well, you know, I think also part of it was that you guys were closed for a period of time. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:42 And then they had to find someplace else to go and when you close like that and everybody migrates somewhere else now you've they found a new church home because we had been closed for a year because he was being he was under investigation right i actually want to see more i think it should be a series you think it should be a series absolutely would you do a series if the opportunity presented itself you know um i'm doing another series so i miss my old series to be honest.
Starting point is 00:54:06 I miss my Black Monday because I love my cast so much. But like, I think the girls have talked, Adama and Adane, they talked about
Starting point is 00:54:15 doing it as an adult. I know it sounds weird. Animation series. Oh. Okay. I can see that. That's a funny sense.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Yeah. Because then they could take it places. Got you. Why did why did you just black money was on Showtime, right? It was with Don Cheadle. Why? Why didn't they bring that back? I guess enough people weren't watching it.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah. I think they're watching it now, though. Yeah. Funny. Now I have many people who are like, I love this. They'd like discover it later. Yeah, that happens. This is a lot of content out there, too.
Starting point is 00:54:45 It's a lot of content out there, too. It's a lot of content. It feels like there was a black gold rush, like around the COVID and George Floyd thing. And then it feels like they kind of shut it off a little bit. Really? They waned? Yeah. Really? There's so much content.
Starting point is 00:54:56 And see, that's another hard thing, too, is with there being so much content, like people discover it in its second and third season they don't necessarily catch it in the first season unless you're gonna put like tons of money into advertising i feel like you have a lot coming out at the same time right now too yeah yeah that's yeah it's totally accidental to the timing of it because me time came out and it just was like not even you know who knew that happens a lot and people are oh, you're always working. But sometimes it's just the timing of release. All right, we got more with Regina Hall. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 00:55:30 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 Regina Hall. Yee. So what's next for RH Production?
Starting point is 00:55:40 RH Negative. RH Negative. Oh, we have, I can't even talk about it to be honest but I have three things in development. A showtime and then a film that we're shopping right now. Hopefully someone will. It's another unique one
Starting point is 00:55:55 but I'm very excited about that one. We just sent it out. We've had a couple of passes to be honest because it's a risky one but it's also really good i think that's always good when you take those risks and they pay off i mean yeah if you know the the great thing about stuff like this is you can either go the studio route or you know you can do like the girls and you can go and do the independent route or you can go streaming and stuff like that but
Starting point is 00:56:22 the other projects are television shows. I'm highly disappointed that you and Sterling K. Brown had to learn the words to the Negro spiritual. Oh my gosh. Not learn the words. We never heard it. What? I mean, Nuck If You Buck is really a big song.
Starting point is 00:56:37 That's what I'm saying. You're black, Regina Hall. It's embarrassing. This is a Negro spiritual. That's what I found out. You didn't know that? Aren't you from D.C.? But I was in L.A. by then.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I don't know if it was. It was in L.A.? Or was it? This is literally like a black national anthem. Was it in the club? Yes. That's why I didn't hear it. This is a Negro spiritual.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Like, this is up there with, like, Juvenile Back That Ass Up. And what song is that? No, I'm joking. This is up there with God Is Good. Wow. Yes. I don't know how we missed it. Both of you, not just one.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Not like one of us. Both of us. I mean, I was like, what song is that? I didn't know it. I think I had gotten out. I was, the club days ended. I was so early for me. This song is 18 years old.
Starting point is 00:57:18 It was over by then. She's working. I'll never abandon the hall of the club somewhere. I know it was, it was over by then. She's working. I'll never abandon Regina Hall in a club somewhere. I know. It was over. I think it stopped for me in my 20s. You know why? I seen Regina in a club before.
Starting point is 00:57:33 You did? Which one was it? You was in, oh, this was, you was in Cairns. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was an event. I know. That was, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:57:44 That was very fun. That was very fun. That was very fun. And look if you both played that night. I stayed 25, 30 minutes. I was gone. In and out, baby. I had my mask on and Yvonne Orji was there making fun of me. Yep.
Starting point is 00:57:55 And I got COVID. Oh my gosh. You want to hear something funny? Last time I saw Yvonne Orji, she hit me the next day like, girl, I done tested positive for COVID. So Yvonne out here being a super spreader. It was her. It was a while ago. She she looked at me and said it's already in the mask you got it and then i was like yvonne stop and i and i did have it but no no none of my other team
Starting point is 00:58:15 got it nobody my hair makeup all of us we were the four people in mass they didn't get it wow yeah isn't it crazy how that works how long did it take you to learn the song like my little verse like two two or three days okay yeah and you sang the part yeah yeah that's the part that turns everybody up yeah yeah no that's what the princess that my assistant in in atlanta was like well you gotta really sing her and the crew stayed extra they were like because it was a night shoot and they were like we want to stay and watch y'all do it i said this is real for them this is real i felt like we had a responsibility and so we yeah so i tried to yeah how much flack have you gotten for admitting that you didn't know i know and i can't even undo it isa gonna be so disappointed i know but i know it now i know that's what i learned when people say what I learned from Trinity, it's knock if you buck.
Starting point is 00:59:06 See? That's what I learned. That's God. Yeah, I learned the black, the other, one of the other Negro spirituals. Yeah, knock if you buck. Do you know like tear the club up? What about some Lil Jon? Oh, I know Lil Jon. No, you know him. Okay. There you go. What's the next line?
Starting point is 00:59:25 Sweat dropped down my... There you go. That's a Negro spiritual thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the way you did... No, ski, ski, ski, ski. Yeah, yeah. I don't know why
Starting point is 00:59:36 when I hear that word, I can't help it. It's like I have to... Grab some imaginary... Yeah, the action is just... Oh, my God. it comes with the word that happens every now and then
Starting point is 00:59:48 with certain words at least you can do this yeah yeah that's true well now that's now that's medication something's wrong we gotta

Everyone's excited, too. And everyone loves your show. I mean, it's so it's an exciting time for people to have like the to do. Yeah. And the opportunity to do like more you know what i mean
Starting point is 01:00:50 just more do you feel like uh like black people in this business are finally getting their just do i think there's more opportunity right and i think as we are adding voices behind the camera whether it's producing or writing it's getting the reality the like like real voices that we don't see i think what happens is we use we end up seeing the one like if one thing is a success we see five ten versions of that and then it feels like it doesn't it's not a complete right version of the reality of of a people of a race. And and so it's been hard to show the spectrum of that. But I think now it is getting better. You know, I don't think we should say we're getting it's it's in motion.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And I think before it wasn't necessarily in motion, but I think it's in motion. Well, Regina Hall, always a pleasure. Always building with you.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

Starting point is 01:07:25 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, we've been talking about Kanye with these Adidas designs copying his Yeezy designs. And we talked about Swiss Beats supporting him yesterday saying companies need to do the correct thing. T.I. also defended Kanye because that is wrong. They can't take his design and then make it into a different sneaker, right?
Starting point is 01:07:48 So now Diddy is joining in the conversation and he posted, since the era of Run DMC, at Adidas has always used hip hop to build its brand and make billions off of our culture, but we are more than just consumers now.
Starting point is 01:07:59 We're the owners. Kanye and Yeezy are the reason Adidas is relevant to culture. We know our value. I'm done wearing Adidas products until they make this right. We have to support each other. Everybody repost this, please. So I guess people are going really hard to make sure,
Starting point is 01:08:16 and they should do the right thing at this point. So they're riding with Ye now? Everybody's riding with Ye again? Well, as far as this, I think as far as making sure that corporations aren't taking something that you designed and then just repackaging it into something of their own. I'd like to know why things like this aren't negotiated beforehand, though. I don't know what's in his contract. That's what I'm saying. But they might have just felt like they could do it regardless. I mean, yeah, he's done a lot of.
Starting point is 01:08:39 You can't you can't you can't just do things regardless in business. You just like it seems like they've been doing it. It feels like maybe legally they could do it, but now when you look at culturally, that was a messed up thing to do. So go back to my original question. Why aren't things negotiated like this beforehand? I'm sure it has, but they've been doing this to Ye for a long time. That sneaker that Swiss posted and everybody posted,
Starting point is 01:09:01 they've been doing that for years. You can't do that if contractually you can't do that.'s that's what i said that's what i said the other day but they're doing it that means because clearly that's not in the contract yeah i don't know what's in this contract so i don't know either but i just know that a company just can't not do that don't you think it would be obvious to have in a contract not to follow the designs that i make once again why aren't things like this negotiated but if Yeezy is is through Adidas then Adidas technically does have ownership of it also just like anything that you create under a corporation while you're there they technically
Starting point is 01:09:34 can only could he take that design leave Adidas and bring it somewhere else I don't know probably not we don't know his contract yeah we don't know what's in his deal but I know a lot of times when you create something under a brand like that you know but you. Right, we don't know his contract. Yeah, we don't know what's in his deal. But I know a lot of times when you create something under a brand like that, but you would just think they wouldn't morally do that. That's all I'm saying. I wonder what his end goal is with all of this, though. Like, what does he ultimately want? Because I'm sure he can't just up and leave Adidas, right,
Starting point is 01:09:57 because of what we just talked about. They're in partnership together. Yeah, unless he feels it's a breach of contract, I'm sure. You know, I just don't know because legally we have no idea What's in we don't know if it's a breach? We don't know if they were well within their rights to do that We don't know what type of clauses they have But I think he's just bringing attention to it and wants to make sure people don't buy this other sneaker and keep on buying
Starting point is 01:10:15 the easy not get it because it takes away from the value of Yeezy if You have Adidas that aren't Yeezys that look just like it. Yeah, and I think a multi-billion dollar company like that wouldn't do something like that if they knew they would be in breach because they know that's an easy lawsuit. All right, now let's talk about Kim Kardashian. She's on the cover of Interview Magazine. I have to say I did not even realize that was her when I saw the picture.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Wow, she look white? It's just a completely different... She looks very white. It's really her face, the hair color, everything. She looks like a spoof of white girls. I thought it was like the new white girls coming out. The other day Kanye referred. She looks very white. It's really her face, the hair color, everything. It looks like a spoof of white girls. I thought it was like the new white girls coming out. The other day, Kanye referred to her as half white. She didn't look half white.
Starting point is 01:10:50 She looked 100% Caucasian. She looked full white. Out to Caucasus Mountains. All right. Well, there's a line in the interview, and the headline is, not bad for a girl with no talent. And that is just supposed, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:03 that's just a, I guess, satirical remark about people always saying, what is her talent and that is just supposed you know that's just a I guess a terrible remark about people always saying what is her talent what is her talent and so Kim talks about that she said I think it came from people saying what are you famous for and I'm like well we have a TV show but just because we're not singing and dancing and acting on the show doesn't mean that the fame didn't come from that but then I would write that as a hashtag not bad for a girl with no talent because people used to be like well what do you do what's your talent? And I'm like, didn't know I needed one.
Starting point is 01:11:37 But she said that I think my talent is marketing and the business behind selling products and knowing what the customer wants and making it feel attainable, but also a bit unattainable at the same time. So that's her talent. And marketing and promotion. Yeah. That's their talent. Marketing and promotion. Cannot stop talking about them for whatever reason. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Room of Remarks. And they know what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:11:50 She knew to be all white on that cover. Why? Right after Kanye called her half white, she was like, no, you put this out right now. I'm all white. Let them see. I'm all white when I need to be. Oh, my goodness. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Who you giving your donkey to, man? And always remember, black men, marrying and impregnating white women is a choice, okay? Black men need to be with black women, alright? Might have to say that every day for the rest of my radio career, okay? Black men need to be with black women.
Starting point is 01:12:20 You don't like that, let's argue. What are you doing? And you know what? I'm not even gonna argue with you. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm not even going to argue with you. You know what I'm going to do? What? I'm going to bring up Dr. Umar and let him fight my battles. Okay?
Starting point is 01:12:33 I'm going to let God and Dr. Umar fight my interracial battles. I can't wait. I can't wait to the prom. What prom? One of your little baby's proms. Nigga, please. Buddy, shut up. I rebuke you in the name of Satan.
Starting point is 01:12:49 I rebuke you, Satan. You got to put your kids in school with all of the black kids. Hi, Mr. McKelvey. How are you doing? I rebuke you, Satan. My name is Joey. Don't do that.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Don't do that. I rebuke you, Satan. I rebuke you, Satan. Okay? I'm not even accepting that in my life right now. I'm not letting you do this to me, Envy. Because you're going to end up falling in love with who you around.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Once again, that is not true either. Okay? It's not? No. You're going to fall in love with who you're not around? Just because you've seen Envy around me for 13 years and he's in love doesn't mean anything. Ma'am. Okay?
Starting point is 01:13:21 All right? Well, you're giving a donkey to me. Four after the hour donkey to do is going to Popeye's. What's your problem? What's your problem? I don't know. I got a whole other problem now, but I'm not going to let Satan use me this morning. All right?
Starting point is 01:13:34 Okay? Donkey of the day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on in. Charlemagne, say the game. Donkey of the day. Charlemagne. You are a donkey.
Starting point is 01:13:45 It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, September 7th goes to the Popeyes near Ponch de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. There's a student at Georgia State University named Jo Ortega.
Starting point is 01:14:11 She is a senior and an amazing humanitarian. Okay, Jo, whoever raised you, raised you right. Because Jo, okay, was at the Popeyes in Atlanta ordering who knows what. Maybe the eight-piece butterfly shrimp or the surf turf sandwich. Who knows? But she was getting something to eat and she noticed a homeless man out there who looked hungry. Now, I don't know about everybody else,
Starting point is 01:14:32 but one thing Lenard McKelvey, Uncle Charlotte, Brother Lenard cannot do is walk past a homeless person. Okay, I have to give them some change. I have to buy them some food, especially veterans. Drop on the clues bombs for all the veterans out there.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Lord have mercy. Can you imagine being homeless in the country you fall for? You was in the military protecting our freedom. Now you don't even have a place to stay. Disgusting. So yeah, I'm that guy. Giving out money in traffic, giving out money to folks I see on the street. It is what it is.
Starting point is 01:14:59 So Joe Ortega, I feel you. Okay, and you did the right thing. It's a damn shame that the Popeyes near Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia, tried to stop you from doing the right thing because they called the police on Joe for simply trying to buy a homeless man food. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Fox 5 Atlanta for the report, please. GSU senior Joe Ortega was door dashing last week at the Popeyes off of Ponce.
Starting point is 01:15:23 She noticed a man off to the side who looked hungry when she offered to get him food. This was how employees reacted. No, ma'am, you can't do it. Why? He's asking for food. Ma'am, you can't do it. I'm okay in there, but you're recording me, baby. May I have your name so I can let the people know? Joe Ortega says she was just trying to do a good deed. I can't order for this homeless man right here who asked for food.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Her initial disbelief that employees wouldn't let her buy a two-piece for the man experiencing homelessness. They called the cops on me, everything, bro. Quickly turned into anxiety when the cops showed up. At that moment, I was terrified. I thought I was going to get arrested. So I said, I was like, well, maybe I should just call my family and tell them I might not be coming home tonight. APD confirmed that they did respond, but they didn't do anything since Ortega didn't break any laws. Also grateful, that man with the empty stomach. My name's Jazz and thanks to you.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Oftentimes the homeless are treated like stray animals, stray cats. If you feed them, they're going to keep coming back. We don't want them to keep coming back. And in all of this, I believe that people deserve to be treated like people. And they're not animals. They're humans. OK, we all are. Some of us lack humanity. What is humanity? The qualities that make us human, such as but not limited to the ability to love and have compassion. Now, I understand Popeye's not wanting to have homeless people maybe loitering around the restaurant.
Starting point is 01:16:41 But let me ask you a simple question. If I homeless and hungry where else would i hang around all i want is some shelter or some food i know i'm not gonna get no shelter in this restaurant but maybe just maybe somebody will throw me a three-piece tender combo okay this is what i don't understand about workers at places like popeyes why do you care if someone wants to buy a homeless person food, how can you deny them that? It's not like they're asking you to give them a free popcorn shrimp combo. Joe simply noticed a fellow human in need
Starting point is 01:17:12 and decided to go purchase that man a two-piece. All right? Two-piece, biscuit, mashed potatoes. Life is good. Make sure you get that homeless man some water to wash it down because that Popeye's biscuit not going down without a fight.
Starting point is 01:17:23 It's not going down without no liquid. Okay? Why, Popeye's employees? Seriously, just a fight. It's not going down without no liquid. Okay. Why Popeye's employees? Seriously, just why? And then the call to police on that young lady simply because that young lady was doing the right thing. How you wake up in the morning feeling evil? Not wanting to serve somebody something that y'all going to throw away at the end of the
Starting point is 01:17:39 night anyway. So what if that homeless person had his own money? Would y'all deny him service? If so, that's a form of discrimination that should automatically send you to hell for at least three months. OK, you don't got to be there for eternity, but you need to be in hell for at least three months. Just just enough to come out extra crispy. OK. Now, Joe eventually did get a hold of a general manager at the store who felt terrible about the whole thing. And he ended up letting her and the homeless man, man jazz order anything they wanted that night free of charge dropping the clues bonds for that general manager okay god bless that
Starting point is 01:18:09 general manager listen the moral of the story is this do things for people not because of who they are are what they do in return but because of who you are it's simple joe you showed me that you are a beautiful person with integrity that cares about others. Popeyes near Ponch de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia? Not so much. Please let Remy Ma give that Popeyes near Ponch de Leon Avenue in Atlanta the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Like, who cares? Why you ain't let Joe buy that man some food? Huh? Yikes. Alright, well thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, I'm going to be in Atlanta this Friday too at the HBUC located at the Met. 680
Starting point is 01:18:58 Murphy Avenue with Stacey Abrams and 21 Savage and Francis Johnson. What's the call again? The HBUC. Located at the Met. They got free food, free drinks, all type of stuff.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Okay. Yes, with Stacey Abrams, 21 Savage, and Francis Johnson. This Friday. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Okay. Mm-hmm. All right. Now, up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:19:27 If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:19:40 Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Oh, my God. It's Jackie.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Hey, Jackie. What's your question for you? Hey, Angela Yee. What's up, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God? Peace, peace, peace, peace. I'm on The Breakfast Club this morning. I'm also calling it through. So, real quick, I'm in a long-distance relationship.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Childhood don't comfort me. I live in South Florida. Lord, have mercy. So he lives in the Bronx in Castle Hill. I'm in South Florida. And, like, my question is this, right? I have been in and out of relationships all my life, right? I've been married 55.
Starting point is 01:20:25 And I finally find somebody that, like, gets me. But both of us are dealing with some financial stuff, and we go back and forth with, okay, I'm coming to Florida. No, I'm coming to New York. And, like, I don't know if I want to go back to New York, and he struggles with coming down here because of the, you know, everything happens in New York.
Starting point is 01:20:45 And so, like, I just need somebody to, and then my friends are like, well, if he don't have it like that to do this for you and do that for you, why are you even with him? And it's like, I'm not even in that place anymore where it's, you know, important for somebody to have a whole lot of money. Like, he got a lot of good qualities, a lot of good character and integrity. And those are the things that I want in somebody's life, in my life, you know?
Starting point is 01:21:10 Okay, so you don't want this to continue to be a long-distance relationship. You guys want to be in the same city. Eventually, yes. It's only been six months. It'll be six months this Friday, and I'm headed to New York to go see him. Nice.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Okay, so the question is, are you concerned about his financial stability and being able to provide for you as well? Yes. What is it that he does? And are there things that he's planning to do? Like, does there, is there some upward mobility? Does he have plans? Is he ambitious? Because I also feel like ambition is important. Right. That's facts. That's absolutely facts. I mean, we're both up in age. You know what I mean? Like, retirement is, like, less than 12, 13 years away.
Starting point is 01:21:54 So right now he works in Manhattan, maintenance superintendent for an apartment building. And, like, you know, yeah, he's always doing other jobs. He's got a window cleaning business and stuff like that. Okay, we like it. But there's other factors that, you know, go into play. And like, I make really good money down here. But I know that if I came up there, I could make a lot more for my field.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Well, all right. I'm going to say a couple of things, Jackie. It's only been six months. So it's not like you'll have to make a decision right now. And I do want to recommend what could happen is he can look around and see what opportunities are available near you. And you can see what opportunities are available back in New York. And then you guys can figure out whatever your decision might be. Because he might be like, wow, I just found this great opportunity
Starting point is 01:22:45 where I can come here and expand my business and do this and do that. Or you might be like, look at this, how much more money I could be making if I was in New York. But you don't have to decide today. Right. That is true. That is true. And I just want to let Charlemagne know, maybe he could link me up because I'm a therapist. And he's always talking about how he is, you know, with the mental health field.
Starting point is 01:23:07 So if you know anybody, Charlamagne, and you want to, you know, send me some links to some jobs up there in New York, man, I'm down for that. I can send you my email. I'll connect you with somebody. I'll connect you with Dr. Alfie Bree Land Noble. Okay, okay. She can probably point you in the right direction. But I do want to say, if you're in love with this person,
Starting point is 01:23:29 or you feel like there's potential for you to be in love, not to give up on it, and that you guys will work through and figure it out. But you also can take your time, and I feel like whatever decision you make, make sure y'all are making it together. That's right. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Absolutely. Thank you so much, Anjali. I appreciate it, man. Keep doing right. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you so much, Angela. Yeah, I appreciate it, man. Keep doing what y'all doing. I'm going to miss the hell out of you lady.
Starting point is 01:23:50 Um, but I know that, you know, you have to, like you said, upward mobility. So I look forward to the changes that are going to happen for the breakfast club and for your up and coming,
Starting point is 01:24:00 um, endeavors and, things that you're doing. Well, thank you, Jackie. And your man is very lucky to have you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:24:07 You guys have a wonderful rest of your day. You too. Hold on. 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.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Nikki.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Hey, Nikki. What's your question for Yee? So I am 41, and I have never been married. I'm currently engaged. I've been with this guy for a little over two years, and literally he has cheated the whole time. And I just feel that I can't leave because I'm engaged and I want to be married. But at the same time, I know that I don't want to be married to this person. Every time I catch him, he promises this is the last time he's rededicating himself to the relationship. He time I catch him, he promises this is the last time.
Starting point is 01:25:05 He's rededicating himself to the relationship. He just makes stupid mistakes. Please don't leave him. He needs me. Nikki, at this point, it's not a mistake. It's who he is.
Starting point is 01:25:17 And if every single time he's getting caught and you're still taking him back, he's really not going to stop. Things don't get better after you get married. If he's doing these things before you get married, what makes you think that the behavior is going to stop? He doesn't think you're ever going to leave him. Right. And I want to say like you waited this long to find the right person. You can wait longer for that. There's no reason for you to
Starting point is 01:25:40 feel obligated to be in something that you don't need to be in. Don't put yourself in a situation where you already know you don't want to get married, but you're still engaged. He's doing these things, this behavior. He's cheating on you all the time, hurting you. And then you're still continuing to allow it to happen. At this point, you're letting him do this. And he's feeling like it's okay.
Starting point is 01:25:59 All it's going to do is you guys will have a little argument. He's going to tell you he's never going to do it again. And then you're back together. Right. He does not to tell you he's never going to do it again and then you're back together. Right. He does not accept no to break up. Well, because you're not breaking up. Why is it that you feel like you have
Starting point is 01:26:13 to be with him? I just feel like it's been this long and I don't feel that I have good prospects. Like, it's the same thing constantly. I feel like it's been this long. Why make it any longer? There is no
Starting point is 01:26:30 time like the present to change your whole situation. And the only reason you don't have other prospects is because you're closed off to them because you're in the middle of this stupid relationship with this idiot. That's the only reason you don't have other prospects is because you're not open to them you have to take the trash out so
Starting point is 01:26:48 that you can clear the slate I guess I mean what do you think would be the best way to just do it just kind of block him out of my life altogether and just stop talking to him do you guys live together no we're long distance okay well thank goodness for that I I, you know, so that's an even better reason why you can easily leave him. You should tell him, you should be like, you know what? You've cheated on me X amount of times. This is not how I envisioned my life. You're not the person that I want to be with. The person I want to be with would treat me with respect and not humiliate and embarrass me and hurt me over and over and over again. And I don't
Starting point is 01:27:23 see your behavior ever changing. And I deserve better. And I know that. So now I'm going to work on me and do things that I need to do for myself instead of sacrificing my happiness just because I feel like I have to. I know I don't need to be in this. Right. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Okay, thank you. I know it's the truth. Nikki, I know you know. A hard step. But, you know, I just don't want you to get used to dysfunction and feel like it's normal. It's not normal. This is not what marriage is.
Starting point is 01:27:51 This is not what a relationship is. This is not love. Right. Okay. Thank you so much. Alright. You're welcome, Nikki. He's endangering her health doing these things, too. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:28:07 If you need advice, relationship advice, you can call you now. Now you got rumors on the way? Yes. And let's talk about French Montana. He talks about being inspired to start an addiction help service. And we'll tell you who inspired him to do that. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:28:28 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Prince of Montana was on the People Every Day podcast and he spoke about a lot of different things. He had his own issues with addiction and now he's partnered with Guardian Recovery Services and NAQI Healthcare to provide supervised in-home detox programs for addicts who are looking to get sober.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Now, what was the inspiration for this? Here is what French Montana had to say. Where we lost Mac Miller to a drug overdose. So can you take me through how losing him ultimately, you know, helped lead you to teaming up with Guardian Recovery Network to form NACI? In the past 20 years, the overdose level have doubled. I've been thinking about this for a very long time. What can I do to help?
Starting point is 01:29:19 And when the Mac Miller thing happened, it just put the icing on the cake. And it was just like, we got to come together and finally make this thing happen. So I met with this lady named Sharice. And then we got up with Guardians. They've been doing it for about 15 years. We put it together for about two years now planning.
Starting point is 01:29:35 And we finally just opened it up the other day. So I'm very excited and very happy that we can cure people, especially at the comfort of their home. Yeah, people are private, he said. And so when you go through the problems you want to stay private you want to be where you're comfortable so that's why he decided to partner up and start this service and he talks about himself being sober and overcoming his own addiction he said sober is becoming his new high and the people said he was out of control and had to do what he had to do it was was the hardest thing he ever did in his life, he said, to snatch himself back. That's very noble of French, Luther French.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Mm-hmm. All right. And congratulations to Vince Staples. He has the Vince Staples show coming. It's a new scripted comedy series that'll be on Netflix. He's partnering with Kenya Barris for that. And he'll star in this series, and it's loosely inspired by his life. So that's really dope.
Starting point is 01:30:28 Congratulations to him. Dropping the Clues bombs for Vince Staples and Kenya Barris. Vince Staples said, per Deadline, this has been something I've been developing
Starting point is 01:30:35 for some time and I'm happy it's coming to fruition. All right, Tiana Taylor has thanked Janet Jackson for surprising her at her show in London.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Can you imagine what that must be like? She said, so London had me in shambles and crying like a full-blown baby to my day ones. Y'all already know what these full circle moments mean to me. The love, the energy, the raw emotions, the vibes, the icon. Janet Jackson, do you hear me? London was unmatched. So she posted a picture of herself with Janet Jackson.
Starting point is 01:31:02 It's one of the greatest surprises of her life, she said. Janet Jackson popping out at a Tiana Taylor show. And Nicki Minaj, somebody is selling allegedly a nail from one of her performances at the VMAs. The person in the description said, I was front row in the pit at the VMAs. And Nicki's acrylic nail fell off moments before she started to perform. The crew quickly glued on a replacement. This nail was worn by the queen, Nicki. Our phones were locked up during filming.
Starting point is 01:31:30 However, I have included photos taken before and after the show to prove authenticity. Happy to provide any further evidence if desired. That person is selling that nail on eBay, and it has 27 bids so far. It's at over $14,000. Well, I don't think you can put any type of root on that nail because it's acrylic. All right?
Starting point is 01:31:48 It won't work. Okay? All right. Method Man recently talked about why he's not on the Wu-Tang Clan's New York State of Mind tour. He wanted to make sure he cleared it up. There were all kinds of rumors going around. I saw they added Busta Rhymes to some of the shows.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Wu-Tang, Nas. Nas, I've seen, yeah. Yeah, Meth isn't there. So here's what he had to say. I have sacrificed so much over the years to satisfy the fans. But to be dissatisfied or to even blame me for your experience is unfair. My brothers are super duper talented, with or without me. And I'm glad to say at 51 years old, I have options. Not everybody can say that. Love Wu-Tang. Wish I could have been on that
Starting point is 01:32:34 tour with them. The booking came at a bad time. I was already booked to do a movie. I'm a very nice guy, but I'm not a pushover. i will not let anyone disrespect me i'm a father a grandfather a husband a brother i have family and i have feelings on top of that who can't understand that though well i guess he didn't know he had a movie booked well i wonder who's he talking to though he went on live or he went on social media as i'm saying who's he talking to who's he responding to because some of the fans were upset that he wasn't at the show and they thought he just was having issues. So he was clearing it up.
Starting point is 01:33:09 He had a booking. He's doing a movie. That's why he's not on the tour. Yeah, I don't see how people can't understand that. Well, I think they didn't know. So now he's explaining why he's not there. He would love to be there. But unfortunately, the timing didn't work out for him
Starting point is 01:33:22 because he's an actor. And you got to understand, I mean, that's a notable absence, right? When you don't see the mess with the clan. Absolutely. Yeah, that's going to disappoint a lot of people. So I understand that. Right. And he doesn't want people to feel like he just was a no-show and didn't care.
Starting point is 01:33:33 Mm-hmm. All right. Now let's talk about J. Alphonse Nicholson, a.k.a. Lil Murder from P-Valley. Do y'all watch P-Valley? Mm-mm. Not yet. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 01:33:42 All right. Amazing show. Well, he was on Tamron Hall, and they were discussing the success of the series, and he got very emotional reflecting on his role, because Little Murder is definitely a standout role on P-Valley that has a lot of people talking all the time. You live a very quiet life in many ways. Yeah. And now, here you are on this big journey with this character that people they didn't know how to react to this guy
Starting point is 01:34:08 Because of you and you brought him to life. Why are you crying? I'm just blessed to be here, you know The love that people show you is overwhelming for such an honor to be able to bring such a complex story to the to the table and to be a Representation for any and every one, I call Lil' Murder the everyman. And so I'm just crying because, like I said, the love is overwhelming, and being able to step into these shoes and bring Katori's Hall story to light

I had a chance to meet him at the Essence Festival.
Starting point is 01:34:56 Y'all know I love P-Valley as well. Shout out to my girl Gigi who made a guest appearance on this season, which was really exciting for her. A lot of that was inspired by Gigi as well. You know, she created the last dance when strippers do like that last dance before they retire. And so they had that on the show.
Starting point is 01:35:13 And, you know, they've said, Katori has said that Gigi was an inspiration. So you can check her out on Lip Service too. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.
