If you're just joining us, then you know that the Breakfast Club, as you know it, is officially over. Angelique's last day was last Friday. Correct. Now there's just two of us.

There's just two of us. And this is our last week until the holidays, by the way. Right. This is our last week. So after this week, you know, we hit the reset button. That's right. We hit the reset button. We come back in January with a...

With what? No, I didn't want to say that. Say what? That's right. We hit the reset button. You come back in January with a... With what? No, I didn't want to say that because it didn't sound right. I was about to say new and improved Breakfast Club, but that don't sound right. You know what I'm saying? It will be something new, though. Yes, it will be new. Yeah, it will be something new.

Yeah, we're going to be adding a co-host or two up here. Yes. And that's going to be a fun process. It's going to be a fun process, and it's not going to be a short process. It's going to be a long process. You know what I'm saying? You're going to hear different people rotate it. Yeah.

So it'll be different people rotating in here throughout the next several months. We have some more huge news to talk to you guys about as well. Man, just be patient. I'm excited about that. But how was your weekend? Mine was good. Mine, I stayed home

with the family and we did a lot of Christmas shopping. I was put in a weird predicament. What happened? My daughter's boyfriend, Madison, her boyfriend wanted to take me. He's from Cleveland. He's from Ohio, from Cleveland. So he wanted to take me to the Knicks game. Flirting. That is a weird predicament. How do you tell your daughter that her boyfriend tried to holler at you? That's wild. He didn't try to holler at me, but he wanted to take me to the game. He wanted to bond with me, right? So he wanted to take me to the game, but the problem was this, right? He's a college kid, so he doesn't really have much money. Who played, Cleveland or who?

The Knicks. Okay, okay. So he wanted to take me to the game. All the way in Cleveland? No, here in New York. All right, I'm tripping. Did he fly you out? No, he didn't fly me out.

He goes to college with my daughter here in New York. I'm tripping. Did he fly you out? No, he didn't fly me out. He goes to college with my daughter here in New York. NYU? NYU. Okay, okay. But if you think about it, he's a college kid. So if he takes me to the garden, to the game, where are we going to be sitting? Next to each other. No, I know.

I mean, what, section 352? I don't know. These kids out here got money. I don't know what they be doing. These kids be having OnlyFans and all types of stuff. He does. He's working hard. He's a business major.

He's doing his thing. But I didn't want to sit in section 352. So you made him sit up there, and you went and sat where you wanted to sit. Y'all text about the game. Kind of, sort of. No, but I told him to save his money. It was the thought that counts. That's all that mattered.

And then I would get the tickets, and we sat on the floor. Oh, no. He got to marry my daughter if I'm buying you floor tickets. What? You can't never break up with my daughter if I bought you floor seats. But then it felt awkward. I didn't just want to go with just him, so I had to take my son, too, because it would just be awkward just me and him sitting next to each other the whole

game. Why? That might be your future son-in-law. You don't know. Yeah, you're right. But we went to the game over the weekend and the Knicks won. They won by 11, actually. They beat the Cavaliers, so we went to the game. That is an awkward predicament. But boy, that young man came up. Drop on the clues bar for that young man who probably didn't even have the tickets that he said he had. But he knew that if he went to his girl's daddy and said he wanted to go to the game and he was going to take him,

daddy was going to be like, all right, cool. I'm not sitting up here. We're going to sit down here. That man finessed you. They did. That sounded like a full-fledged scam to me. It was a great gesture, the fact that he wanted to take me to the game.

I thought he was out of him for that. All right. I'd have called his bluff to see what kind of tickets he got for us. Did you even see what kind of tickets he had

for us? I did not. Exactly. You just assumed he got you. Oh, boy. Drop on the clues box for that young

man. He Nigerian? Is he Nigerian? What? Oh, my goodness. That sounds like an amazing finesse. What did you do this

weekend? I was at the crib. I went down. I was in Charleston yesterday, South Carolina, for the day, handling some business. Okay. Because, you know, we got the International African American Museum opening up in January. That's right. So, salute to Dr. Tanya Matthews and everybody over there.

So, I was down there handling some business. Okay. And I finally got my Christmas tree up too. Finally got it up this weekend. We got ours up too. We've been up since the day after Thanksgiving. My wife put the Christmas trees up this weekend.

I actually said that last night. It looks very festive in the house. Very festive in my house too. You got elves on the show or you don't do that? I don't have no elves on the show. I got a bunch of black Santa's though. No elves on the shelf? No. They got black elves? They got black elves? Yeah, we don't have

no elf on the shelf, no reindeer in here, none of that. Alright. Alright, Front Page News is next. You know, he was just talking about Thanksgiving and you might have left with some food, but you also might have left being sick. We'll tell you all about it. Hospitalizations are up a lot, and we'll give you

some information about that. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Alright. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelie, Charlamagne Tha God. Angelie is not here no more. You're going to stop that, Ron Burgundy. I know it's muscle memory, and you've been saying it for the past 13 years.

Actually, tomorrow will be 13 years of The Breakfast Club. There's no Angel 13 years of the Breakfast Club. There is no Angelia anymore on the Breakfast Club. You're right. You have to figure out another thing to say. All right. All right, let's get into the front page. And if you can't figure it out, just go DJ Envy and Charlemagne Tha God until you figure out what you want to say.

Okay? All right. Now in NFL football, the Packers beat the Bears. Steelers beat the Falcons. Vikings beat the Jets. The Lions beat the Jaguars. Eagles beat the Titans. Seahawks beat the Rams.

49ers beat the Dolphins. Ravens beat the Broncos. The Giants, we didn't lose, but we didn't win. It was a tie. 2020. Who ties in football? The Giants. Bums.

Stop it. The Browns beat the Texans. The Raiders beat the Chargers. Bengals beat the Chiefs. And the Cowboys, y'all demolished the Colts. 54ums. Stop it. The Browns beat the Texans. The Raiders beat the Chargers. Bengals beat the Chiefs. And the Cowboys, y'all demolished the Colts. 54-19. Jesus. Drop on the clues, Bonser. That's 54-piece. Alright? Jerry Jones is

peeking like, Z, this is why you gotta let the black kids in the school. This is exactly why. Because can't nobody play no ball like them. You hear me? 54-piece, baby. Goodness gracious. Now, Monday Night Football! The Saints take on the Buccaneers. The Saints are 4-8. The Buccaneers are 5-6.

It's disgusting that the Buccaneers lead the NFC South at 5-6. Yeah, that's disgusting. You know what I mean? An amazing Super Bowl-caliber team like the Cowboys are in the wild card hunt because of stuff like that. Yeah. Now, some quick basketball. The Lakers beat the Wizards 130-119. The reason I tell you that is because AD stuff like that. Yeah. Now some quick basketball. The Lakers beat the Wizards 131-19. The reason I tell you that is because AD

had 55 points. Probably want to close bonds for AD because one thing folks like to do is when somebody's not playing well, they like to slam to them. AD has been on a tear the last like eight, nine games. And if you're into football, which is soccer, the World Cup, the Netherlands beat the

USA 3-1. Now, respiratory viruses have been on the rise. Now, they're saying that they estimate that at least 8.7 million people have been sick this flu season. And that's due to the flu, due to COVID, and due to RSV. Now, RSV is a new respiratory disease that is really hitting kids pretty bad. They're saying a lot of people have been seeing this spike after Thanksgiving. So, a lot of people have been

leaving, you know, seeing family, taking home extra food and leftovers, but also leaving with this RSV. They're saying there are no vaccines for it as of yet, but they're saying that people should get their flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster. Well, What's the symptoms?

Because, you know, it definitely is a lot of coughing in my house amongst my little ones. So what are the symptoms of RSV? That's what they've been saying. They've been saying coughing, a lot of phlegm, and feeling sick. That's what they've been saying. That's definitely been happening in my house. But, you know, I mean, but you don't really know what's what because of the season. You know what I mean?

Like, it's wintertime now. So you don't know if things are just a common cold. You don't know if things are flu. You don't know know what's what because of the season. You know what I mean? It's wintertime now. So you don't know if things are just a common cold. You don't know if things are flu. You don't know if they're COVID. I never even heard of this RSV thing until now. Yeah, I just heard about it over the weekend. They're saying that the problem with RSV is there's not too many beds in hospitals for kids. They're saying that there's the amount of kids that are coming into intensive care.

There's not too many beds. So they're trying. God damn it. It's an emergency situation right now. Here you go giving me something else to have anxiety over. Something else to worry about. Respiratory, I can't even pronounce that. Respiratory virus.

That's why I said RSV. And lastly, Chris Christie, he's the former governor of New Jersey. Now hold on, now hold on. What? Hold on. It says that it usually causes mild cold-like symptoms in most people recovering in a week or two. I didn't say they're dying. I just said people are going to the hospital.

Did I say anything about that? Yeah, but you just made it sound a little crazier than it was. No, they said they're rising and you need to make sure. And kids are in the hospital. I didn't say anybody's dying. But it did say it can be serious for infants and older adults because it can cause pneumonia in children younger than one year of age in the U.S.

Alright, and lastly, I was telling you about Chris Christie. He's the former governor of New Jersey. He definitely got something. Allegedly, his niece was on a Spirit Airline plane. They believe she might have been allegedly intoxicated. She was going up to anybody Latino and asking if they were drug mules and if

they had drugs on them. Yeah. So she was kicked off a plane. And when they went to arrest her, she bit the cops on the arm. Was she actually looking for drugs? She was just trying to be insulting and stereotyping people. They don't know that.

She just said that they were, she was going up to anybody Latino and ask if they were smuggling cocaine. That's a weird way to ask for cocaine. Yeah cocaine. That's a weird way to ask for cocaine. Yeah, very weird. Very weird way to ask for cocaine. She was kicked off the plane, and when police came, they said she was extremely combative and bit one of the officers. Jesus Christ.

So she's in jail, I would assume. I'm sure she's released now. I know this Shannon Epstein. She's 25 years old, and that was Spirit Airlines. Are you holding, dude? Dude, are you a drug mule, dude? My goodness. Dude, you look like a drug mule, dude.

I've seen narcos, dude. My goodness. You have any of the good stuff, dude? All right. Well, that is front page news. Got an 8-poll you can spare, dude. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Like, get to life. That's funny that you said that. I just had to fill all that out now. Uh, short-term disability, long-term disability. I had to do that all. And I, I mean, thank God I never got sick where I needed it. But people have been telling me that, that when they actually do get sick,

it's really hard to get paid. It's so hard. And you think I work for a hospital. They would pay me. But no, that's really crazy to me. What's your disability? I'm sorry. I'm really nervous. I twisted my knee. I fell off a step in a nervous. I twisted my knee.

Do you think we need Odell, Trav? Man, I feel like with James Watson coming back, with Michael Golub, with CeeDee Lamb, man, we look good out here, bro. But I feel like Odell would just add another piece that's going to be a decoy to keep CeeDee Lamb open and just open the field up, bro. Yeah. It ain't going to hurt to have him.

It ain't going to hurt to have him. But it makes me wonder, why didn't we just keep Amari Cooper then? Man, listen, Amari Cooper kind of balling right now. Yep. All right. Enough of this cowboy talk. Hey, man. Hey, Envy.

Yes. Hey, Envy. What? Listen. Y'all suck, bro. Y'all tied up. I mean, y'all don't even matter right now. But look, I was talking about something else right quick.

When y'all come back from break, I know y'all going to be pushing out guests. I know y'all got parties. We rotating and co-hosts. Yes. Yeah, y'all rotating and co-hosts. Can I get two suggestionsall got Cardi. We rotating co-hosts. Yes. Yeah, y'all rotating co-hosts. Can I get two suggestions of who I would like to see co-host one of those weeks?

I would like to see them rotate. Yeah, no, I'm sure they'll come up here when they're in town or they're promoting something. We can get them up here for a couple of days. I'm sure they'll both do it. Yeah, I'm not mad at that for rotating, guess.

Yeah, I think they would do really good. And when y'all come back from break, I would like to come do a little report one day. Maybe. No, we don't really mess with Cowboy fans up here. No, no, no, no. That's a possibility, Tra Maybe. We don't really mess with Cowboy fans. No, no, no. That's a possibility, Trav. We don't really mess with Cowboy fans. It's a possibility.

You threw me off when you said Carisha and 50 because I actually was thinking about people who are on my list to potentially be permanent, you know. But, nah, Carisha and 50 would be good. Let's say Anthony Brown or Todd Joyner or Steve Harvey. Man, shut up, man, Trav. Shut up. Now you're just not seeing this.

Now, in Houston, it seems like they announced an arrest of a man charged in a connection with the murder of Takeoff. Horrible man. 33-year-old suspect Patrick Xavier Clark. He was arrested on Friday.

Yesterday evening, we arrested Patrick Xavier Brown, 33 years old, was charged with the murder of Takeoff. Brown was arrested again yesterday evening in the 14700 block of Thurland Green Boulevard. Cameron Joshua, 22 years old, was arrested on November the 22nd, felon in possession of a weapon. I spoke to Takeoff's mother early this morning, and my prayers, and I ask that all our prayers continue to go out to her and his entire family, his close friends, the city of Atlanta, and all of Takeoff's fans around the world. We lost a good man. Takeoff for no reason no longer here not spending the holiday holidays with his family for no reason whatsoever and now that young man gonna spend the rest of

his life in jail for no reason whatsoever now they believe takeoff suspected killer reportedly tried to flee to mexico uh they believed right shortly after takeoff's uh death they said that the gentleman applied for an expedited passport. He allegedly presented a Mexico-bound itinerary just to justify the rush request. They believe he was trying to flee. And right now his bond is at $2 million. And what was the motive? Did they say it was a motive?

Because, you know, the Internet was saying it was an accident. Accidental shooting. So was there a motive? Was it an accidental shooting? They're not saying yet. They're not saying yet. They're not saying yet. Now, Cardi B, all right, now she was in the news. That's because somebody posted a clip of her performing over the weekend

and said not the Grammy winner performing in someone's backyard. Well, Cardi B clapped back at a fan quickly and said that she was paid a million dollars for a recent private Art Basel performance. And she showed proof that she got a million dollars to perform in somebody's, I guess, private crib or private lounge. That's why you got to watch your mouth, especially on the Internet, because you don't know what the hell you be talking about. Not at all. Not at all. I could have watched that video and said Cardi B was getting a big paycheck. Absolutely.

Because I know I know body would not be doing such an intimate performance if it was getting a big paycheck. Absolutely. Because I know Bardi would not be doing such an intimate performance if it wasn't a big check attached. Well, she probably would do it if it was a friend or a huge check. And a lot of times

people do that. They'll hire these artists, hire these performers, just come to their backyard or their house, but please believe What you talking about? They get big bank.

Even when I have to do a bar mitzvah, you charge a little extra when it's in somebody's house. Yes. Yes, it is what it is. Well, she said, I got paid a million dollars to perform at this elite banker's event, private event, for 400 people and only for 35 minutes. Think about that when you type about this Grammy winner. Talk that talk, Connie.

Those private corporate events, come on, bro. Drop on the clues, Bar mitzvah body. But that's why you got to mind your business. Yes. Okay? You be all up in other people's business and don't be knowing nothing. You should ask questions. You should say, hey, Cardi, why were you performing in what seems to be somebody's backyard?

And then she could have explained it to you. No, you should have just mind your business and said, damn, I seen Cardi perform in somebody's backyard. I'm sure she got a million dollars. That's what you should have did. Well, I don't know if you would know the number. You would know that there's a check attached. Yeah, absolutely. Now, Floyd Mayweather, he said he wants to purchase an NBA team,

and he said he's already offered a couple of franchises $2 billion. Do you have audio of that? Yeah, let's hear it. I've been working on buying an NBA team outright. One of my other business partners, Brent Johnson, he's here. So we've been working on the NBA team for a while now. You know, it's kind of, it's rough. It could be the Vegas franchise. It could be the Seattle franchise. Yeah.

Or I could be buying a franchise that's already up and running. Gotcha. So the first offer, we offered him a little bit over two billion for majority ownership um do we got do i have it absolutely absolutely i have it but why put up for that of course i'm kidding me but it didn't happen it didn't happen overnight salute to the good brothers of earn your leisure too that was from uh earn your leisure's live show at uh the garden the garden the hulu Theater at the Garden. But I salute to Floyd Mayweather, man.

He earned his position. He earned his money. You know? So that NBA team is absolutely positively a great investment if you can make it happen. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news.

Donald Trump, he calls for the termination of the Constitution. I need to hear more. No, I need to hear more because I'm one of those people that, you know, I feel that way in a lot of ways, too. Let's discuss. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. When it's time to get with someone special, the best way to do it is with Magnum large-sized condoms. That gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor, and it means you're protected, and you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard.

Magnum large-sized condoms. Happy holidays, y'all. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Happy holidays, man. Charlamagne Tha God. There you go. We are the breakfast. There you go. I got it. Yes. You's DJ Envy. Happy holidays, man. Charlamagne Tha God. There you go. We are the breakfast.

There you go. I got it. Yes. All right. All right. Well, let's get into some front page news. Let's start with NFL Sunday. Now, the Packers beat the Bears.

Steelers beat the Falcons. Vikings beat the Jets. The Lions beat the Jaguars. The Eagles beat the Titans. The Browns beat the Texans. The Giants, man. We tied. Ugh.

Ugh. We tied the Commanders. 2020. Ravens beat the Broncos. The Giants, man, we tied. Ugh. We tied the Commanders, 2020. Ravens beat the Broncos. 49ers beat the Dolphins. Seahawks beat the Rams. Raiders beat the Chargers. Bengals beat the Chiefs. How your Cowboys do? We put up a 53-piece, right?

Was it 53 or 57? 54. 54. 54-piece chicken nugget dinner against the Indianapolis Colts, okay? They couldn't eat it all. They got leftover nuggets early this morning. All right. I think it was a 33-0 quarter or something crazy like that.

Yeah, we're losing at one point, too. That don't matter, bro. It doesn't matter if we were losing at one point when you finish with that type of score. It doesn't. We Super Bowl bound, baby. And a Monday night football. The 4-8 Saints take on the 5 and 6 Buccaneers. All right.

I'm only watching that game because Tom Brady playing. Now, in football, if you watch soccer, the Netherlands beat the USA 3-1 in the World Cup. Now, cannabis. I know a lot of stores out there. I've been driving up 95 when I had to do Alabama and going on through. And I see a lot of gas stations and stores sell marijuana and cannabis. I've been seeing that. They have, like, the THC sign or the CBD sign at the door.

Well, in a recent sweep, it seems like the government has been arresting and locking people up that are selling these illegal marijuana dispensaries. You know, when you see them at gas stations, you see them at bodegas and corner stores all around the country. It is still illegal. Police are saying that people are taking the decriminalization of marijuana and trying to sell it. And you cannot. I wonder about that.

I wonder if like when they hear things like, oh, marijuana is decriminalized. Marijuana is legal in some places. Are people just thinking, oh, marijuana is legal. We can just sell it. Yes. So they're selling regular dime bags at the store. You cannot do that. With no license, no is legal. We can just sell it. Yes. So they're selling regular dime bags at the store. You cannot do that. No license, no nothing.

No, you cannot do that. So they are arresting people. And if you get arrested, you will not be able to get a license. And also, you will be in jail. So you cannot just say, okay, well, it's decriminalized. I could just sell it. No. Yeah, you're a different kind of stupid if you live in a state that, you know,

you can actually get you a proper marijuana license and you don't. You're still doing it illegally. Yeah, you're a different kind of stupid if you live in a state that, you know, you can actually get you a proper marijuana license and you don't. You're still doing it illegally. Yeah. So I just wanted to put that out there for all you guys that have your little bodegas at gas stations or hookah spots selling weed. They're looking for you. Just want to put that out there. All right. Now, Donald Trump said he's calling for the termination of the Constitution.

I need context. Now, he says he wants to overturn the 2020 election and reinstate him to power, and that's the reason he wants to do it. He says he believes all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution, because it can overturn the 2020 election and put him in power immediately. He says no honest person can now deny Trump is an enemy of the Constitution and wants it banned.

I don't know if that's a reason to get rid of the Constitution, but I do feel like the Constitution needs an update, and it's interesting. We just had this discussion on my late night talk show a hell of a week last week because we had Val Demings on, Congresswoman Val Demings and Amanda Seals and Trayvon Free.

We have audio. We have audio of you discussing that. Only way America could ever live up to the ideals we've been told that it possesses. I agree with that, but don't you got to start from the beginning though? Because, you know, when they were doing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and all of that good stuff, none of us were at the table.

We weren't at the table, but isn't it interesting that the founders of this country, with all of their shenanigans, that they had some shenanigans. That's a nice way to put it. They had some praise and it's going right. But they talked about a country that they weren't even ready to accept themselves. Interesting. Isn't that interesting that they put into the Constitution, into the Bill of Rights, where they didn't even practice at the time themselves. So their vision, although they were, that's another, invite me back.

But their vision was the America that we are talking about. But they were slave owners. They weren't even able to accept it themselves. But they talked about forming that more perfect union. We are a work in progress and we need people in leadership positions who are serious about building and seeing that America. Basically, what's this? That is a great point, Congresswoman, about Demings raised. But I feel when the founding fathers wrote those documents, they were thinking about the country they wanted to live.

Correct. They weren't thinking about nobody else because black people weren't even considered full humans. We were considered, what, three-fifths a human. Yes. So, yes, in my mind, I think we should, you know, update the Constitution to be inclusive of everyone. Yes.

Or make it to where those things they wrote in the Constitution are inclusive of everyone. Reflection of us as well. Yes. Yeah, like you said earlier, Nat, we weren't at the table. Not at all. But he just wants to get rid of it in totality. I don't know about all that. Nah. I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that either.

I think it does need an update. It needs a collective group of people to come together that reflect what America looks like. You know what I mean? And not just a bunch of old white men. But that's scary too because we've seen

they try to update a lot of things that sounds crazy in this day and age. Or maybe they don't need to update it. Maybe they just need to reinforce it for everyone. Like I said, it needs to be all-inclusive of everyone. I don't think it's all-inclusive of everyone. I think when they wrote those documents, they wrote them with just other white men in mind.

That's what I believe. All right, well, that is your front page news. Donald Trump stayed trying to finesse somebody. And Envy stayed getting finessed. Who? You. How? Tell the people what you said since it's a little later in the morning.

Tell people what happened to you earlier. I was talking behind the scenes. Are you on a date with your girlfriend's, I mean, your daughter's boyfriend? I did not go on a date with my daughter's boyfriend. But, you know, my daughter's boyfriend. Asked you on a date. He did not ask me on a date. It was my daughter's 21st uh you know my my daughter's boyfriend uh asked you on a date he did not ask me on a date it was my daughter's 21st birthday about a couple of weeks ago and and i flew them all out to mexico we all went my wife my my daughter her boyfriend we all

went out there and i guess you know we've been talking basketball and he wanted to thank me so he wanted to buy stop playing adorn why you stop playing ad Dorn, Red? I like this. Okay, go ahead. Okay. This is cute. He wanted to thank me, so he wanted to take me out to a game. He's from Cleveland, Ohio. You know, the Cavaliers were playing the Knicks, and he said he wanted to take me to a game, which I thought was cool. I thought that was dope.

I thought that was, you know, respectable. He's a college student. He doesn't have much money. But he know his girl, Daddy, bougie as hell. Right. So I knew that if he purchased these tickets, we would probably be sitting in section 300 or it would be super duper expensive. That's your dumb ass. Because what I would have done is I would have wanted to see what kind of tickets he had first. But you didn't even wait.

No, I didn't wait. You just assumed he's a broke college student. So what did you do? So I said, I'll take care of it. And just because he made the gesture, I will, you know, take him to the game. Okay. And where'd y'all sit? We sat on the floor.

Drop on the clues bomb for that young man for nesting his girlfriend's daddy. Okay. He went to Mexico and he saw how that KC crew ball. And he said, oh, I know what I'm going to get for the holidays. I'm going to get courtside seats to a game. I'm going to tell her bougie ass elitist daddy that I'm going to take him to the game. And I know her daddy going to say, no, no, no, no, no, future son-in-law.

Come with me. We're going to sit on the floor. And he got it. He got his. That wasn't scamming. He absolutely scammed you. Who is this young Nigerian man that your daughter's marrying? He's not Nigerian. I know a Nigerian scammer when I hear one. 805. What's the question? Did I get scammed? Yes. I didn a Nigerian scammer when I hear one. 800-5.

What's the question? Did I get scammed? Yes. I didn't get scammed. You definitely got scammed, man. That man finessed the hell out of you, bro. 800-585-1051. Finesse the hell out of you.

I think that was a great gesture. Did he at least buy the popcorn? When you sit on the floor, all that's free, sir. Oh, my God. Drop on a clues bomb for this young man. What is his major? What is his major? Finance.

Wow. He know how to save a dollar, dude. You're getting disgraced. Was I scammed or was it a great gesture? Yes, you were scammed. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, earlier today, I was telling Charlamagne about my weekend, and over the weekend... You got robbed again. I did not

get robbed. I went to the Knicks game. So, my daughter's boyfriend wanted to take me to the Knicks game. He's from Cleveland, and, of course, the Cavaliers were taking on the Knicks, and he wanted to give me tickets to the game. But the problem was I know he's a college student. I know that he has to work to pay his bills.

And necessarily I didn't want to sit in the 300 section. So I said I will take care of the tickets. It was just a great gesture. That's all I cared about, the fact that he wanted to do something nice and take me to the game. Now, you didn't say that you took him to Mexico with your family a few weeks ago. I did. So he saw how daddy balls.

A few weeks ago, of course, it was my daughter's birthday, her 21st, so I took her out to Mexico and I took him as well. He saw how daddy balls. And he know daddy is bougie and elitist. And he knew that his Cleveland Cavaliers was coming to New York, so he forged a plan in his head. If I tell my girl's daddy that I'm going to take him to the game, he's going to say,

nah, future son-in-law, don't worry about it. I appreciate the justice. Thought that counts. We're going to go to the game, but we're going to go my way. So he never bought those damn tickets at all and ended up on the floor with free snacks. Well, I thought it was a good gesture.

The fact that he wanted to do that for me. The fact that he's working in college to pay for college and pay for his dorm and pay for all that. And he was going to use his money to take me to the game. I thought it was a great gesture. You thought it was a good gesture. I call it a good finesse. Either way, it's good. You got finessed.

I did not. Scammed. Hello, who's this? Hey, I'm Vita. This is Chanel. Hey, Chanel. Take us off Bluetooth. We can barely hear you, mama.

And why you sound so depressed, Chanel? Yeah, why you sound so down? I'm not down at all. I haven't had my coffee yet. I'm on my way to Dunkin'. Okay. So what's your thoughts? What you think?

Well, I think you did get finessed. You didn't get scammed. But, I mean, I kind of agree with Charlamagne, too, because, you know, you got to know what kind of man your daughter's dealing with. So that was a nice, smooth way of saying this is what my daughter is going to have to have for the rest of her life. So if you can keep her on the floor seat, then you're a good man, you know what I mean, if you can handle the business. But I don't think you got scammed. I think he was doing the right thing. You just went a little overboard with the floor seat.

You need to put him in, like, the second row. That's who Envy is, though, and that young man realized that because he went to Mexico with them. Well, I mean, you know, a family trip, and he got invited as a boyfriend. That's a big step, you know what I mean? and he got invited as a boyfriend. That's a big step. You know what I mean? That's an introduction to what life is like. And if he's going to be the man of your daughter's life. Listen, nobody's getting married yet.

All right. Just don't throw it. They don't have to get married. They don't have to get married yet. But he she got to have standards and he got to know if he's in her lane or not. And if he can't afford floor seats after he graduates, then he might as well take a seat up there in the Rises in the 300s. Goodness gracious. And you a wild boy.

You a wild boy for flying your girlfriend's boyfriend to an exotic location. There ain't no way in hell. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Good morning. How you doing? This is Johnny. Hey, what's up, bro?

What's your thoughts, man? I mean, I'm always going to be a firm believer in having, like, two options on it, you know what I'm saying? So's your thoughts, man? I mean, I'm always going to be a firm believer in having, like, two options on it. You know what I'm saying? So I believe that, you know, he was just trying to do it out of the goodness of his heart, you know, getting to know his girlfriend's father. But, again, when I was talking to Mane about that, you know, the scamming incident to it, you'd be like, yeah.

He kind of knew a little bit that if he offered you to go to the game, that you were just going to take over. You know what I'm saying? I kind of see that. Nah, he was trying to do it the right way. He kept trying to get the tickets and see the time and all that. But I just didn't want the young man. We all been to school before college and know how difficult it is

and extra money and how things come. And I didn't want him to pay for that. But I thought the gesture was amazing. And I thought he was just a good kid for trying to do that, man. Yeah, I agree with you on that, man. That was a good gesture, especially, you know, trying to get to know the boss and things like that. All right, man.

800-585-1051. I was telling Charlamagne over the weekend I took – well, I was going to say I took – my daughter's boyfriend wanted to take me to the Knicks game. A date. He's a Cleveland Cavaliers fan and wanted to take me to the game. He was going to buy the tickets. He saw you in your swim trunks in Mexico.

He wanted to take you on a date. He set up, man. And I wanted to make – I didn't want him to use his money to pay for the ticket. So he made a great gesture. So I took him. And Charlamagne was like, I got scammed. You got finessed out of your drawers.

I did not get finessed out of my drawers. What's wrong with you? Drop one of Clues bombs for your future Nigerian son-in-law. He's not Nigerian. You know what I'm saying? Oh, my God. For running this great scam. He didn't even send you an email.

Shut up, man. 800-585-1051. Did I get scammed? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, earlier today we were talking about what we did over the weekend, and I went to the Knicks game. So my daughter's boyfriend, he's a huge Cavaliers fan. And, you know, we were going back and forth about Cavaliers and Knicks. And he wanted to take me to the game. I was trying to buy tickets and was trying to get the right tickets. And I didn't want him to spend his money.

He's a college student. He works to, you know, to pay for school. He works for everything that he has. So I was like, you know, just the gesture is good enough for me. I'm going to take him to the game. I'm going to handle it. We're going to sit on the floor. And that's what it was.

Y'all don't believe I was scammed. I definitely you guys. I'm going to tell you the only way I would believe you didn't get scammed. If you would have said to that young man, well, let me see what kind of tickets you got. No, because then he still got to spend the money. He didn't either. He number one, he didn't have the tickets. And number two, you just assume when he's broke because he's a college student.

You don't know what that man doing on his OnlyFans page. All right? That man might be balling. And your daughter dating him. And I know she got expensive taste. So you don't know what that young man into. What kind of shoes he be wearing? He be wearing Kith and Jordans and Off-Whites and all that.

Okay. He got a little something. You don't know what kind of seats he could have got. He might have had a hookup, for all you know. But you jump out the window and spend your money on floor-side seats for no damn reason. Drop on the Clues bombs once again for your future son-in-law for finessing you.

Shut up. Hello, who's this? He'll tell you after the wedding. Hey, remember that time? Hello, who's this? Alita. Hey, Alita. Good morning.

Good morning. Charlamagne, you are absolutely right. Envy definitely got finessed, but I like the way the young dude work, though. So let me ask you a question. You know the young man is in school. You know he got to work to pay his bills. He want to take you out somewhere. Aren't you going to be like, you know what?

I'll take care of it because you don't want him to have that? No, because check this out, Envy. It's a shame that you are so bougie that you did that. You should have let that young man pay for the tickets. And if you were sitting way up in the top, you should have sat there because that was his gesture. You should have let that young man do that. No, you knew you wanted to be on the floor.

That young man knew you wanted to be on the floor. The young man said, let me get him to pay for it so wanted to be on the floor. This young man knew you wanted to be on the floor. This young man said, let me get him to pay for it so I can sit on the floor too. That's right. You played yourself. That's not funny. I didn't find that funny. That is funny. I didn't find that funny. It's funny. Bye, Louita, Louito, whatever

your name is. Goodbye. No, my name is Lita from North Carolina. Put some respect on my name. That's right. That's right. That's right. You tell him. Goodness gracious. Hello?

DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God. What's cracking? What's cracking, man? You heard the story. What's your thoughts, bro? Look, man, first of all, my name Antonio from Brownsville. Yeah, Envy, he got you. Envy, you should have gave him the chance to at least show what tickets he had.

And knowing who you were, you could have upgraded them after you seen what he was able to get. But I didn't want him to spend his money on the tickets. That was the whole purpose. I didn't want him to spend his bread in a college student. I've been listening to you for years, Envy, and my daughter turned 16 in two weeks, brother. So I'm following your lessons. You failed on this one, Envy.

You should have let him show what he had and then took who you are and upgraded them if you needed to all right man i didn't get no damn scam hello who's this good morning it's tina hey tina good morning how you feeling tina i'm good on my way to work let's talk about it tina what's your thoughts i think that you did not get scammed that he's being a it's just one of the first of who you are that you did not get scammed, that he's being a dick. It's just one of the perks of who you are that you're able to hook him up like that. So I think it was very nice of you that he really would have pulled through if you let him buy the ticket. See? Who's being a penis, man? You!

She's talking about you! You! Oh, okay. You! You! I'm assuming this is one of our Caucasian listeners. A what? Who told you that? of our Caucasian listeners. What? You're Caucasian, right?

Super. We appreciate you, man. Yeah, we appreciate you. Tina, I appreciate you. I knew when you called me a penis. Calling me a penis was a dead giveaway. I said d***. I know, but we can't say that on the radio.

Can't say that on the radio. Why not, bro? Well, thank you, Tina. Thank you. And if you have extra tickets, you know, call me. Since you're just out here giving away tickets, Santa Claus. Since you're just out here giving out things, Santa Claus, why

not? Well, again, shout to my daughter's boyfriend. Your son-in-law. His name is Andrew. Shout out to Andrew. Your son-in-law. From Cleveland. Okay, you bought that man courtside seats. Y'all go together.

I thought it was a great gesture that he wanted to take me to the game. I know being a college student, you know, everything, everything matters. This ain't like how it was in the 1900s, bro.

We initially started saying DJ Envy, Angela Angel E, Charlamagne Tha God, so people would recognize us in these different markets. And I know that we're gaining new listeners every day, but maybe you just say The Breakfast Club.

Yes, we are The Breakfast Club. You introduce yourself, I introduce myself. Let's try it again. Go. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. I'm DJ Envy. I go by the name of Charlamagne Tha God.

And then we introduce whoever the rotating host is going to be. Because that's what's going to happen, people. Okay, when January comes, because this is our last week until the new year. The new year, yep. So when we come back in the new year, you're going to hear a bunch of rotating guest hosts. Yeah, a bunch of different people. Some celebrities, some non-celebrities, radio veterans, personalities from social media, people that host podcasts. It's like, you know, we're in a whole new world, you know?

So you're going to hear a lot of people from all of those different worlds. And we're super duper excited about that. I cannot wait. All right. Well, when we come back, we got forward to it. Rumors. We got to tell you about Nick Cannon. He was hospitalized.

We'll tell you what happened with him. And also your guy, Kanye West. I don't know why people keep giving him platforms, I guess, because we keep talking about him. That's all you got. All right. Well, we'll talk about it when we come back to Breakfast Club. Come on. Hey, morning, back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey.

Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. I'm DJ Envy. Say your name, Nick. Oh, let's do it again. I forgot. It's new. We just started this last break.

Okay. Go ahead. Say it again. Go ahead. Let's do it again. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. I'm DJ Envy.

And I go by the name of Charlemagne Tha God. How are y'all this morning? Happy holidays. All right. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. Why? Rumor has it.

Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club.

You talking about Kanye by yourself. All right. Well, Kanye West reported on Instagram. He posted this. He said, am i the only one who thinks elon musk could be half chinese have you ever seen his pics as a child take a chinese genius and mate them with a south african supermodel and we have elon i say in elon because they probably made 10 to 30 elons and he's the first genetic hybrid that stuck well let's not

forget about obama i'm sorry for using curse words in church but i don't have uh another word for obama yet yay 24 let's unify and find out okay well elon musk responded and said i take that as a compliment and kanye said it was meant as a compliment my friend now obama on the other hand, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. I don't know. I'm not trying to break it down. Just give me the information. I told you you're talking to yourself on this one.

All right. Now, Akon, he talks about Kanye's recent views. And this is what Akon had to say. I show support for, you know, opinion. And I think people will always have a specific opinion. And I think the moment we get to the place where we close our minds up to other people's opinion, it kind of doesn't allow us to get to better know each other, better know our mindsets, and more than anything, better know our movements. And I think sometimes we kind of prejudge people from the way that we may see or view things. And I think sometimes we should just open up our minds, let things play all the way out, and better understand the situation so we have a better solution for it.

Well, 24 hours later, Akon put on Twitter, I clearly do not agree with Kanye's remarks about Hitler. I'm simply saying that everyone should have the right to their own opinion.

Doesn't mean we will always agree. Well, nobody told Akon to be out there cosigning. That's stupid ass rhetoric. Just shut up sometime. And by the way, why do you always have to have an opinion on somebody else's opinion? Sometimes it's let people, you know, be out there destroying themselves. But I guess when people do these interviews and people ask them about these things. You don't got to answer.

And if you do answer, you know what I'm saying, use your voice, I guess, to push back on some of the rhetoric that's just dangerous. Hey, take your damn iced tea, Nick. Why are you sitting by me? Drink that mud butt. That's mud butt stuff. Mud butt. Alright. And Nick Cannon. Shout out to Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon was recently hospitalized.

He's out of sperm. No. He has pneumonia. He has pneumonia. And now shout out to to nick he just sold out uh madison square garden they did the wild and out live tour and the day after that he was in the hospital he posted okay so i guess i'm not superman i promised myself i would never be back at this place again but this is a great lesson to take care of you or you won't be able to take care of everyone else. And you definitely got a lot of everyone else, isn't it? He has 11 kids.

Okay. The crazy thing is, last night we was just rocking a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden in front of thousands of fans. Now I'm all alone in a tiny hospital room. How are you all alone with all them kids and all them baby mothers? Somebody should be there. I guess he was there. I don't know. Take care of yourself, my brother. Absolutely. Okay. Nothing comes before your health. Somebody should be there. I guess he was there. I don't know. Take care of yourself,

my brother. Absolutely. Okay, nothing comes before your health and you're right. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Yes.

All right? He says, life is definitely a roller coaster. Hashtag lupus warrior. Salute to Nick, man. He'll figure it out. You know,

you catch pneumonia when you don't wear no clothes. You butt naked all the time. Pumping. What? I don't think that's true. I just think that's things old people and grandmas used to say. Oh, for real? You put some clothes on, you get pneumonia in your ass, man.

What? Alright, and lastly, Jay-Z offered Bacardi $1.5 billion for its half of D'Ussé, and they're saying that Bacardi rejected it. He made it offer he was willing to spend $1.5 billion to have a full 100 of do say but it still got rejected they said jay's in legal war with bacardi trying to force

the company to buy him out of their 50 50 partnership in a luxury cognac brand so i guess jay's either trying to own 100 or trying to get out of that deal he just simply doesn't want to get cheated on the price. Happy belated born day to Hov too, man. Yeah, yesterday was Hov's birthday. Mm-hmm. I couldn't do a Hov mix, Bill. Yeah.

Thought about one in my head, though. We appreciate everything you do for the culture and continue to do for the culture, sir. Absolutely. Whether people see it or not. In front of the scenes

or behind the scenes, we definitely appreciate that. That's right. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, who you giving giving your donkey to? You know, for after the hour, speaking to somebody who does a lot for the culture, I need everybody who has been slandering Mr. Deion Sanders over the past 24 hours

to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, and then we're going to open up the phones for a discussion. Yeah, let's talk about it this morning. Absolutely. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I was born a donkey.

It's the donkey of the day. Donkey's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Monday, December 5th goes to everyone out there who is slandering Deion Sanders because he decided to leave Jackson State University for the Colorado Buffaloes. Yes, if you haven't heard, after leading Jackson State to an undefeated season in their second consecutive SWAC championship, he decided to leave Jackson State to go to Colorado. And a lot of people are upset about it. Let's go to CBS Colorado for the report, please. Well, as excited as Colorado may be to have Deion Sanders, not everyone is thrilled with

his decision to leave Jackson State in Mississippi, which is among the historically black colleges and universities, or HBCU. We caught up with an HBCU graduate here in Denver who explained why some have mixed emotions about Coach prime. We did feel a little conflicted about it because he has such a great impact on a smaller University. However, I understand we only live in this life once and financial opportunities and opportunities to grow sometimes you have to take those opportunities when they come. Well, Sweet also told us he is grateful that Jackson State got to experience

Sanders' star power, and he hopes that Sanders leaves behind a blueprint and keeps a channel back to the players and prospects for HBCUs who look up to him now. First of all, how rude of me. A drop on the clues bombs for Jackson State winning back-to-back SWAC championships. And listen,

man, I understand if you are hurt that Deion Sanders is leaving Jackson State. I totally get it. It's Deion Sanders. All right? The man brought so much positive attention to that program, the SWAC conference, and HBCUs. But instead of calling the man a sellout and saying that he sold our people a dream, how about appreciate what that man brought to the table? Okay?

He got Jackson State University new practice fields, new locker rooms. He got underarms sponsoring Jackson State uniforms, countless other things that will benefit that program for years. And slander is the thanks he get? Deion Ben let us know that he will entertain Power 5 head coaching opportunities. In fact, his exact words were, I'm going to have to entertain it straight up. I'd be a fool not to. And in a business like NCAA football where it's so many black players

but so few black coaches, I, for one, have no problem seeing a leader of men like Deion Sanders go to a P5 school. I love seeing us leading at HBCUs, and I love seeing us leading at PWIs, and it confuses me to see y'all say Deion is chasing the bag. I know in 1994 Deion Sanders was doing a bad MC Hammer impersonation, and he put out a record called Just Be The Money. But there is absolutely nothing about his coaching track record that shows he's about to bag. Deion has been pouring into black kids for years.

He spent several years as a high school football coach. He opened up his own charter school, Prime Prep Academy, which actually closed because of financial distress, and coaching at Jackson State for $1.2 million for four years, and he donated half his salary to help complete ongoing efforts to upgrade Jackson State's football facilities. And y'all calling that man a sellout? Also, he has to pay Jackson State $300,000. He owes them $300,000 in a contract buyout. But y'all saying that man a sellout. Also, he has to pay Jackson State three hundred thousand.

He owes them three hundred thousand in a contract buyout. But y'all saying he's about to bag and listen, let's talk about the bag. OK, the bag is real. Twenty nine point five million for five years versus one point two million for four years. It's easy to say he's chasing the bag now. But over the last decade, I haven't heard anyone say, man, Dion really is just pouring into young black men and not getting paid for it. Once again, I understand folks who are hurt that he's leaving Jackson state, but all that he's a sellout slander y'all tripping. All right. That man has done so much for black kids and HBCUs and he will continue to, which brings me to my next point. What have you done for an HBCU lately? Huh? HBCUs are chronically underfunded.

Why? Due to state underinvestment, lower alumni contributions, you know, related to lower black incomes and black wealth, and lower endowments. I think two of those are an us problem. Okay, before you criticize Deion Sanders, ask yourself one question. Are you doing or have done what he's already done and what you are continuing to ask him to do? What are you saying, Uncle Charlotte? What I'm saying is when the last time your black ass donated to an HBCU. OK, see, Dion can point to what he's done for HBCUs over the last few years, at least Jackson State.

Can you see? I don't look for one man to change any situation, nor why knock anyone for how they choose to move, because there's more than one path to liberation. And Dion has showed us what happens when folks actually show up to support an HBCU. So I ask again, what have you done for an HBCU lately? I never even went to any college, but I understand the importance of funding HBCUs. Here at the Breakfast Club, we raised damn near a million dollars for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Over $800,000 to be exact. You remember that, right, Envy? Yes, sir.

Myself, Leonard McKelvey, Charlemagne Tha God, I donated a quarter million dollars to my mother's alma mater, South Carolina State University, out of my pocket. Okay, with a lot more to come, by the way. All right? Last month, my podcast network, The Black Effect, iHeartRadio, and Nissan, we had the Thrill of Possibilities Summit. We did that just for HBCU students.

Okay, we flew them out because we understand we did that just for HBCU students okay we flew them out because we understand the importance of pouring into HBCU students. Envy what's the initiative you were doing you was just at uh when you broadcasted from there we did Stronger Together with Pepsi and Doritos where they go to different schools and we also did a documentary. Not just schools

HBCUs. That's right where we go to different colleges and broadcast live we were in uh we did St. Augustine's. We did Bethune-Cookman. We did Hampton. We did Howard. We did a bunch of universities, and we're going to continue. My point is, ask yourself, what are you doing or have done for HBCUs

before you criticize Dion? You are just like the people Dion was talking about when he first took the job. You got Twitter fingers with no action behind those tweets. Let's listen to Deion on 60 Minutes on why he decided to take that job at Jackson State. Listen. A salary of $500,000 is less than 5% of what one state over Alabama pays its coach Nick Saban. Yet Jackson State might be the hottest program in America, poaching talented recruits and winning games in equal measure. Powered by, yes, the style, but also the substance

of the man who now calls himself Coach Prime. Sanders took the job at Jackson State three months after George Floyd's murder. Timing, he says, that was no coincidence. It was relevant because a lot of folks sit back on Twitter fingers and talk about what they're gonna do, and I wanted to go do it. Do what? Change lives.

Change the perspective of HBCU football. Make everyone step up to the plate and do what's right by these kids. Deion did his job, man. Okay? He did his job. Did we have the other clip where he said he would entertain the power? Let me hear that one, too. The cinematic version of the story has Coach Prime sticking it out at Jackson State

as the program grows on par with those of the Power Five. The reality? It may not be long before he takes his gold whistle to a school that doesn't need to beg for resources. What happens when a Power Five school says, give us a number. We'll make it work. I'm going to have to entertain it. You are.

Yes. I'm going to have to entertain it straight up. Well, I'd be a fool not to. Dion did his job, man. And he told y'all from the beginning, everything he was going to do, he was going to change the perspective of HBCU football. He did that. And he was going to entertain a power five job.

If he came, he did that too. Okay. But he laidU football. He did that. And he was going to entertain a power five job if he came. He did that too. Okay, but he laid the blueprint. He showed us what's possible. It's up to us as consumers and folks that are alumni to keep the movement going because these HBCUs don't have the resources to support these kids. Our coach is on the level of a Deion Sanders for that matter. In order to build and sustain these programs, we have to support them.

And if you never donated to an HBCU, but you're being critical of Deion Sanders, shut the F up, Fev. Okay? Not to mention him being the first coach from an HBCU to get a Power 5 job. If he has success in Colorado, it'll be a great thing. Not just for him, but it might open up other opportunities for HBCU coaches at Power 5 schools. Maybe.

Maybe. Because let's be real, a lot of this is just happening because it's the great Deion Sanders. All right? That man said he had a calling to go to Jackson State. He went to Jackson State after having just experience as a high school coach. Okay? And after two back-to-back SWAC championships, I think it's more than fair to say job well done. That's all we need to be saying about Deion.

Job well done. He answered the call God had for him, and everyone was rewarded for it. Jackson State, the profile of HBCUs was raised, and Deion, in an unprecedented historic move, went from an HBCU coaching job to a Power 5. What more do you want from Deion Sanders? The last three years, the man gave his all to Jackson State. The man lost toes at Jackson State. Literally two toes amputated. he came in 10 toes down he left

eight toes down but still standing strong nonetheless can we listen to what dion had to say in regards to leaving jackson state and accepting the job at colorado you've made a tremendous impact of the hbcus i guess how difficult was the decision to leave what you started there tremendous because it wasn't about the x's and O's or the wins and losses. It was about those kids. Usually a coach is terminated or elevated. Thank God I'm elevated, but still the journey is not complete. Maybe God is really using me to open doors at this level. The thing that alarms me the most is just because I'm leaving Jackson, they think that I'm leaving African-Americans. I don't know if you noticed or not, but I'm black. I can never leave who I am, what I am, and how I am, and how I go

about being that. So it is still my task to look in that locker room and see 65 to 70 percent of African-American men trying to help them get to the next level as well as all the others My calling is for young men young women and people of all walks of life all social climates and all ethnicities That's my calling. My calling is not built on a location. It's built on a destination now. That was good. You're supposed to clap for that It's still black men to be led on a power five level. And I'm glad that they're being led by a God fearing black man. And when it comes to Deion Sanders leaving Jackson state, don't be sad that it's over.

Be happy because it happened. Please let Rami Mah give everyone who has slander for Deion Sanders the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Let's discuss. All right. Open the phones. Let's discuss. 800-585-1051.

What are your thoughts? How are you feeling about it? Let's discuss. You know, I've seen a lot of people saying that, you know, he recruited a lot of players. A lot of players went there because of him. And, you know, people have a right to be upset. And some people are saying, hey, I mean, he did what he was supposed to do. He got eyes to hbcus he got eyes to colleges and more people put him on tv more people sponsored you

see more corporations coming down giving money and donating what is your thoughts let's talk about it 800-585-1051 it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series the running interview show The Breakfast Club.

I feel like Deion Sanders has done everything that he said he was going to do. You know what I mean? He did his job. He told us from the beginning everything he was going to do. He was going to change the perspective of HBCU football, which he did, and he said he was going to entertain a Power 5 job if it came.

He did all of that. He laid the blueprint. He showed us what's possible. What more do you want from Deion Sanders? And I'm going to tell you something else. Deion Sanders didn't have to go to an HBCU at all. If Deion Sanders' mentality was to get a power five job, the thing that most people would have done would have went to a smaller PWI.

But instead of going to a smaller PWI, he decided to go to an HBCU, which was a very risky move. You know why? Because there's never been an HBCU coach that got a Power 5 job until now. Well, not only that, a lot of HBCU colleges, especially when it comes to sports, don't necessarily have the money that other schools usually have. So if a student gets injured, they don't have the training facilities a lot of the time. They don't have the doctors on staff, they don't have the training facilities a lot of the time. They don't have the doctors on staff.

They don't have the staff. So that's why a lot of people, especially kids, when they're thinking about going to colleges to play sports, don't necessarily consider HBCUs all the time. But Deion definitely changed that. He's got a bunch of huge recruits to go to that school and huge recruits to look at HBCUs.

And not only that, he's got corporate sponsorships. He's got a lot of people to come down there to sponsor, to give money, to donate, to do things that a lot of people weren't doing. And you've got to respect that. You've got to appreciate that. And what you said is very true, man. And I said this during Donkey of the Day, and I'm going to repeat it. HBCUs are chronically underfunded.

Yeah, absolutely. You know what I'm saying? Because it's state-owned investment, you know, lower alumni contributions, lower endowments. And that's why I ask a simple question. What have you done for an HBCU lately? You cannot criticize Deion Sanders if you have not donated to an HBCU ever. Shut the F up forever if you got something to say and you have not donated to an HBCU.

Everybody in this room an HBCU. Everybody in this room supports HBCUs. I ran the record down during Don Quixote Day. Do I have to do it again? We've raised damn near a million dollars for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. I've given $250,000 out of my own pocket to South Carolina State University. We just flew

40 kids from HBCUs in Nashville last weekend for the Thrill of Possibilities Summit. You know, the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio, and Nissan. You had your initiative where you was going to different HBCUs, just popping up on them to talk to them and broadcast from the school.

And broadcast live, and we raised money. We went through Pepsi, shout out to Derrick Lewis, and Doritos, and we went to every homecoming, and not just party. We actually spoke about investing, generational wealth. That's right. We've raised tons and tons of money. We talk about it all the time.

We actually did a documentary called Roll to a Homecoming where we talk about the different HBCUs that people might not know of. Because, you know, everybody always hears the Howell with the Hampton. Morehouse. Morehouse, Spelman. Spelman. But sometimes there's so many, like Bethune-Cookman Or St. Augustine's

There's so many different HBCUs South Carolina State University You know why? We simply understand the importance of pouring into HBCUs HBCU students So before y'all slam the D.R. Sanders Ask yourself What have you done for an HBCU lately?

Alright so we're asking 800-585-1051 We're asking what's your thoughts Hello who's this? Yo this T. Hearn 800-585-1051. We're asking what's your thoughts. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is T. Hearn, proud Jackson State alumni. What's up, bro? What's your thoughts, brother?

Hey, man, we appreciate everything that Deion did for us, but y'all acting like he didn't sell us Wolf tickets, man. What you mean? What was the Wolf tickets? Talk to me. Tell me. His whole platform was talking about leveling the playing field. You don't have to go to their school to get ahead. And then the first opportunity, he jumped ship.

Now, like I said, we appreciate everything he did, man, and we'll never take that from him. But at least finish your commitment, finish your contract, do one graduating class, at least Dean think you was going to be here forever. But come on, bro. But he did level the playing field. And he did show us what's possible and what happens when you do support HBCUs.

Because what I keep asking my brother is, what have other people that are slandering Deion Sanders done for HBCUs lately? Those HBCUs were underfunded before Deion got there and they're going to be underfunded after he's gone. I get that, but how will we ever get ahead if every time we get a little momentum, they pluck the best of us? No, that's not true.

If one man can stop the momentum of HBCUs, HBCUs don't really got no momentum. It's so much alumni out there that don't be donating to those schools. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, this is L.A.

Hey, L.A., good morning. What's your thoughts, bro? Good morning, good morning, Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, so I'm from Jackson, and the main thing that I really know about is we're more hurt than anything that Deion leaving. Like, I appreciate him coming down, doing everything he did for us, and I applaud him for everything.

You know, he's going to do a power-fired job. But we hurt more than anything. We never had anything down in Jackson, you know, for the violence, crime, and everything like that. And he was a beacon of light for us. And then he just left. I understand that. I guarantee you'll get another coach, and I'll guarantee you that program.

I mean, Walmart donated millions. I know Pepsi's donated millions. So many different places have donated millions. So what he did for not just Jackson, but for all HBCUs was really amazing. Hey, you know what? You bring up a good point, though, my brother. And this is what I guess I'm trying to convey, too, man. I like the spirit of Jackson.

You know what I mean? Jackson, Mississippi, what y'all be doing at them games, y'all popping regardless of who the coach is on the sidelines. So y'all got to keep that energy going. Y'all got to keep that momentum going. Y'all got to keep that momentum going. Yeah, we always been like that, yeah. And that's another thing that you say. You know, when you go to these other schools sometimes,

the stadiums are packed with people. And at all HBCUs, a lot of times the only time it's packed is homecoming. Yeah, I wish I could say that. We got to change that. We got to make sure we support our schools. We go to those games. We support those plays and support those teams. We have to.

Yeah, I wish I could say that about South Carolina State University, but that's not the case. No, some of the schools you get a huge thing, but a lot of those schools, they only come out during homecoming. Now you're right. They're in the parking lot. You're right. Tailgating.

Tailgating. Yeah, you're right. 800-585-1051. Charlemagne gave the people at Slander and Deion Sanders donkey of the day. And we're asking the whole Deion Sanders thing, what's your thoughts? We'll take your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's D.J. Oh, let me do this right. What up, y'all? We are the Breakfast Club. I'm D.J. Envy. And I go by the name of Charlemagne the God. Good morning.

Happy holidays. What's happening? If you're just joining us, we're talking about Deion Sanders. Now, Charlemagne gave donkey today to who? To everybody that's Slander and Deion Sanders for leaving Jackson State University to go to a Power 5 school in Colorado. And the reason I'm giving him donkey of the day, man, is because literally Deion did his job.

He did everything that he said he was going to do. He said he was going to change the perspective of HBCU football, and he said he was going to entertain a Power 5 job if one came. But didn't he donate some of his salary? Bro, he was only getting paid $1.2 million for four years. He donated half of his salary to make sure that the students had better facilities. And then he has to give $300,000 back. He has to pay $300,000 in a contract buyout because he's, you know, leaving.

Right. Yeah. So we're asking what are your thoughts. Hello, who's, you know, leaving. Right. Yeah. So we're asking, what are your thoughts? Hello, who's this? Hello. Good morning. This is Monet calling from Columbia, South Carolina. 803, what's happening?

Hey, Monet, what's your thoughts? So I am a product of an HBCU, Claflin University. Good morning. Claflin. My father-in-law went to Claflin. Shout out to the Panthers. And I actually work at a high school and I am the college readiness coordinator pretty much. And so to see the impact that,

you know, Coach Prime has made on students even wanting to go to HBCUs, not even from an athletic perspective, just from, you know, all my students right now, they're in their junior year and they're like, oh, Ms. Biffin, I'm trying to go, you you know to hbcu and just to see the culture and you know for the past 10 years it's just been an influx as it relates to the enrollment and so just to see that alone within itself i think he should be commended for not only from an athletic perspective but just enrollment you know um hbcus do require a lot of funding and to just to know that, you know, he has done what he's done, I just think it's kudos to him. Maybe I'm not, you know, wise enough to speak from the athletic perspective,

but from an academic perspective, I just appreciate it. That's real. You know, it's so good. I haven't heard nobody say that about something since A Different World. What's that? That, you know, that encouraged people to go to HBCU. Yeah mean for me it was a different world for me my reason you went to the different world no different world was the reason i wanted to go to hampton young lady talk we know that's the reason go ahead 803 no i want i wanted to also go you know i grew up watching it my mom

you know didn't have the opportunity to go so i I lived vicariously through her. And so I was able to, you know, be connected to folks like Chris Kalen. Shout out to my girl, Chris Kalen. Chris! What up, Chris? Yes. That's my niece. Good friend of mine. Yes.

I love my girl. And, you know, just to, we met, you know, in higher ed. And so I just love what, you know, the HBCU communities are doing. I'm just grateful just to see that the kids even want to go, you know. Well, hold on. School me on something because I didn't go to higher ed. I was in special ed. I thought Chris went to South Carolina State.

No, no, she did. We met. She used to recruit for South Carolina State, and I was recruited for Claflin, and that's where her and I kind of connected. So, you know, we connected through the higher ed aspect, and then she kind of took off with, you know, radio. So shout out to my girl, Chris Kalen.

Man, she's texting me right now. I promise to God. Look, look, look, look. She just texted me. Am I lying? What'd I say? Chris Kalen. She just texted me.

Wow. She probably hearing me. That's my girl. Oh, she actually said, she actually said, good morning. I couldn't get through the hotline, but as an HBCU grad, I got to leave my two cents. As a coach, we made Deion the HBCU ambassador. Meanwhile, HBCUs like my alma mater, SC State, beat JSU at the Celebration Bowl last year. SC State didn't get any coverage.

People are in fear that if we lose the celebrity coach, we'll lose the publicity. Meanwhile, SC State has been drafting football players to the NFL every year with the most players inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. People go where the hype is. We just need people that truly care to support, regardless if a celebrity endorses it. I agree with my good niece, Chris Callen. But that's what it is.

We have to keep supporting, keep going, keep talking about it, and keep making it hot. That's one thing I would say that Howard University has done well at. I mean, a lot of people graduated from Howard University, even though that's, you know, my my nemesis. I went to Hampton. But if you look at the alumni, whether it's Anthony Anderson, Taraji P. Henson, Chadwick Boseman. That's right. God bless the day. That's right. So many people, you know, but it's not huge in sports is more huge in the arts. But still, we just got to keep supporting. That's right. Hello bless the dead There's so many people, but it's not huge in sports It's more huge in the arts But still, we just gotta keep supporting

Hello, who's this? This is Nikki Hey Nikki, talk to us Nikki Hey, I'm calling, I'm from Gulfport, Mississippi And we're hurt, don't get us wrong We're hurt Because he came, he shined a light on Mississippi As well as Declan State

And So we're hurt because he came, he shined a light on Mississippi as well as Jackson State. And so it hurt. But at the end of the day, he never promised that this was going to be his retirement job. He was going to stay there until he retired. He came, he flipped the program around, and he moved on. I mean, how can you not be happy for him at the end of the day? I agree. And what he was supposed to do.

And then, I mean, at this point, I feel like that's his career. That's going to be his coaching career. He's going to go around, flip it around. All these colleges whose football program is basically not any good. And he's going to flip it around, make a better move on to the next one. Until he gets to Florida State. Until he gets to Florida State. And that's where he's going to be because that's his dream job.

Exactly. He's got to go back home. He's going to end up back home. That's right. When he ret's where he's going to be because that's his dream job. Exactly. He's got to go back home. He's going to end up back home. That's right. If he retires, he's got to be at home. That's right. Thank you, mama. Why do you keep hanging up on people so fast? I mean, we got to go. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is what have you done for an HBCU lately? That's my biggest thing, man. You cannot slander Deion Sanders

if you do not support HBCUs on a regular basis. And I will keep talking this talk because it's true. The Breakfast Club has raised damn near a million dollars for HBCUs through the Thurgood College, you know, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Myself, Lenard McKelvey, shalom and to God, I've donated a quarter million dollars to my mother's alma mater, South Carolina State University, out of my pocket. OK, just last month, Black Effect Podcast Network, my podcast network, iHeartRadio and Nissan, we had the Thriller Possibility Summit

where we had 50 HBCU students, flew them to Nashville for a whole bunch of panels and networking and mixers and all kinds of other stuff because we understand the importance of pouring into HBCU students. So I ask again, what have you done for an HBCU lately? All right, well, thank you, everybody, for calling. When we come back, we got your rumor report.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, well, he responds to LeBron James. We'll get that on next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. The Breakfast Club Envy

Best believe that when we done this moment, we'll be syndicated I don't know, this night just remind me of A. A. This is what we want to bring. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Let me do this right. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. I'm DJ Envy.

I go by the name of Charlemagne. The God was happening. We got to change things because this guy keeps saying DJ Envy, Angelique, Charlemagne, the God. Because that's what he's used to saying over the past 13 years. Yes, but we changed it enough. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Will Smith.

Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty-pating. I'm gossiping. This is the Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club.

All right, now, Will Smith was on the, what is it, All the Smoke? All the Smoke podcast. Matt Bond, Steven Jackson. You can listen to it on the Black Effect Guy Hard Radio Podcast Network. Shout to those brothers. Now, Will Smith was talking why Martin will never go out to the club with him ever again. I'm going to tell a story I've never told. Love it.

So, Martin was newly married. He's like, well, you know, in Miami, he was like, I'm not doing nothing. Marty, Ma know, in Miami, it was like, I'm not doing nothing. Marty, Mark. We in Miami. So Prince had a club called Glam Slam.

So we go. So the girl walks up and stands in front of Martin. And she's dancing in front of Martin. And he's like, oh, come on. And she lifts her skirt up and she has nothing on under. And she's asking Martin if they could. She wants to have sex in the club. And I look at Martin.

He's like, this one don't know where it was at. Martin and I have never been out again. I mean, plus they're too famous to just be in some random ass club. I mean, God damn, that's Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, the bad boys. I mean, neither one of y'all need to be in the club because you're 50 plus years old. And both of y'all are rich enough to have clubs in your mansions at this point. Absolutely. I mean, Jesus.

Now, Jerry Jones, the leader of the Cowboys, the owner of the Cowboys. He's not the leader of the Cowboys. The team that Chalamet loves so much. I do love the Dallas Cowboys, and I'm going to love them long after the ownership is gone. Well, he talks about some things that LeBron had to say about him. that Charlamagne loves so much. I do love the Dallas Cowboys, and I'm going to love them long after the ownership is gone. Well, he talks about some things that LeBron had to say about him. You have to hear me say how much I think of LeBron. I don't know of anybody I respect anymore.

I don't know of anybody that has taken every opportunity he's had and maximized it. And I did hear what he had to say. Certainly he has influence just because of all of the above, his accomplishments, how he's utilized his sport, how he's utilized his platform, how we have done it. He has enhanced basketball. He's made a lot of people a lot of money. I hope I have too.

What that got to do with the picture, Jerry? That's not what people want. You know, Jay Williams called for Jerry Jones to denounce racism and to tell us what he's learned since that picture from 1957. Has he yet? I mean, clearly, that's the first time. Clearly not, but that's the first time I've even heard him. Mention anything about him?

I mean, I would think that the next thing after the LeBron convo would be that. Somebody should have said, hey, you know they was on first take, Jay Williams calling for you to denounce racism and to tell us what you've learned since that picture in 1957. Right. But, I mean, you've got to put pressure on somebody, I would think, to make those statements or at least ask them about it. Right.

Now, Balenciaga, they dropped their twenty five million dollar lawsuit against the market agency, the marketing agency that put that. I guess that it was it wasn't it wasn't a commercial, but the ad with the kid in the bear and all that other stuff. So they dropped the lawsuit, which seems right, because Balenciaga, I'm sure, has last viewing before it went out. Right. It never made any sense because the market agency said that Balenciaga oversaw the whole thing. Correct. So I never understood the lawsuit. Well, they left us. They said,

we apologize for displaying unselling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our spring 23 campaign photo shoot.

We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children's safety and well-being. So I wonder what happens now because they dropped the lawsuit. So does that mean

they knew they had to oversee it? Somebody's going to get fired. I mean, somebody needs to be investigated. Like, why would anyone think that's a good idea? Like, you ever seen Minority Report

when they like lock you up for crimes that you might commit that you're about to do? The pre-crime unit? That's what it feels like they need to do in this situation. Yeah, pretty much. And lastly, again, rest in peace to Hovane.

Hovane, if you don't know, he managed artists like Stiles P, Lloyd Banks, T-Pain, Young Guru, and a host of others. He was the connector. The connector of dots for a lot of artists in this industry. Helped Troy Ave early on with his career. Well, they just released, I guess, his memorial service and public viewing. If you want to go to that, you can go to his page or Markman's page if you want to show your respect. Hold on now. Wait a minute. Let me see that. Let me make sure that's the public one.

That's the public one. That's the public one. Okay. All right. Just making sure. Just making sure. Double check. Triple check.

I wasn't going to do that. Now, let me read this first. Hold on. If that's the one Rob posted on his page, excuse my brother Rob Markman, if that's the one Rob posted on his page,

yes, that's the right one. Yes. So a public view will be held in Brooklyn December 8th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the service is from 10 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. service is from 10 a.m. to 1130 a.m.

If you want to show your love and respect again, good brother. He will definitely be missed. And we always send condolences to his family and friends. I keep trying to avoid these conversations about whole thing because I keep acting like it's not real because it's very strange to go from, you know, talking to someone every day, texting with someone every day, to them not being here anymore. Absolutely. So it's like when I see things like that, it's just like, Jesus Christ. You know? Hov is really not here with us anymore.

That's right. So salute to the good brother, Hovain. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Up next, the People's Choice Mix Don't Move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. There's so many offers going on for the holidays, but one really stood out to me. Verizon. When you switch to Verizon, you get a gift for you and a gift to give. Might want to go check out your Verizon store if you're down to save a bunch of money. The People's Choice Mix is up next. What up, y'all? We are the Breakfast Club.

I'm DJ Envy. And I go by the name of Charlemagne Tha God. Happy holidays, everybody. Yes. And then there were two. That's right. Well, this is the last Monday in this building because we are closing up shop at the end of the week and we're actually going to a new facility, new building, new everything

that we're excited about. I mean, truth be told, man, you know, tomorrow will be 13 years of The Breakfast Club. So, you know, myself, DJ Envy, Angel Yee, we've been doing this show for 13 years. And that's why, you know, the changes that are happening are good. Because for some reason in Western civilization, people think the number 13 is an unlucky number. But actually, the number 13 is a good number that brings about change and a positive outlook. So for Angela Yee, after 13 years, to go on to get her own show Way Up with Angela Yee, that makes all the sense in the world. And for us here, when we knew that these changes were happening,

it made so much sense because this right here, when you say the Breakfast Club as you know it is officially over, this environment, this is gone. Yeah, this is gone. You would not see us in here in 2023. Yeah, things are going to change. We got a state-of-the-art facility, state-of-the-art studio. We're going to be able to do a lot of things.

I've already named it, by the way. What you named it? I named it the Black Mothership. I like the Black Mothership. Yeah, we're going to be able to do a lot of different things, hopefully. So interviews. Ain't no hopefully. I'm hoping.

Ain't no hoping. We're going to be able to do interviews. We've been ghetto for too long. On TV, we're going to be able to do things that we couldn't do before on TV. They're supposed to have the technology and everything there. So we're super duper excited about that. That starts in the new year. And we have another huge announcement attached to that that we're super duper excited about.

There's a lot of things happening, man. Everybody's leveling up. Angel Yee's leveling up. The Breakfast Club, me, myself, and Envy, we leveling up. And, you know, one thing that I really look forward to is I really look forward to the rotating guest hosts next year. That's right. Because, you know, not only are we going to have opportunities to be in here kicking it with, you know, some of our peoples, you know, we get an opportunity to provide opportunity to the next generation.

That's right. Some new talent. A radio personality. And those are going to be people that are radio vets, up-and-coming radio folk, people that do podcasts, people that just got YouTube shows. That's right. Everything.

It's going to be a while. We're not just jumping into choosing a new co-host. It's going to be a while. And we want you guys to be a part of it as well. So if you see somebody you like, you tag us, let us know. When you see somebody you don't know, you can let us know that as well. That's right. And shout out to Jordan Datcher of Atlanta and Jackie Williams of New Orleans,

who won some daily bread. You can win your daily bread. Just hit up the website, breakfastclubonline.com, and we got a shout out to our friends at U.S. Bank. We'll get there together. When we come back, positive note, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right, what up, y'all?

We are The Breakfast Club. I'm DJ Envy. And I go by the name of Charlemagne. The God was happening. Happy holidays. How are y'all? That's right. Well, it's time for a positive note. Yes, the positive note, man. First of all, I want to tell you, too, make sure you screen my late night talk show, Hell of a Week, every Thursday night at 1130

on Comedy Central. We got a couple more episodes before we break for the year, but you can screen last week's episode with Amanda Seals, Val Demings, Trayvon Free, and Lil Rel on Paramount Plus right now, okay? Now, the positive note is simply this, man, and I mean, I guess it goes for everything that we're talking about, whether it's Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State or Angela Yee leaving the Breakfast Club.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. You know who said that? Who? Dr. Seuss. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country?

Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
