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. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,

Starting point is 00:15:32 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 00:15:41 I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:22:32 Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we'll talk about best friends turning into other halves. Okay. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:22:46 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Blair Underwood. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report.
Starting point is 00:22:59 This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. But before we get into that, I do want to give a rest in peace to a friend of all of ours, Hovane. Amen. It was a post on his page yesterday. It is with deep regret that we message to all family, friends, and colleagues that Jonathan Hovane Hilton passed away while at his home on Friday, November 25th. He was a beloved and devoted father, husband, son, brother, and a proud Brooklyn representative.
Starting point is 00:23:25 He's a veteran hip-hop manager. He was president of management at Cinematic Music Group, and he's worked with, you know, managing Styles P, Cameron, Jim Jones. He's worked with T-Pain. He managed Young Guru, so a lot of people were paying tribute to him. Yep, Loie Banks.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And so rest in peace and our condolences to his family. Man, I love that brother, Ove, man. I have not fully processed that. They even have the words, the express. But yes, sending healing energy to Kim and his whole family. Love you, brother. Very sad. Good brother.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Really good brother. All right. Now let's discuss Blair Underwood. He was on the red carpet at the 50th International Emmy Awards, and he was there with his new fiance. So congratulations to them. They've actually been friends for 41 years. Now, he did get divorced last year, so he announced that he was getting divorced on
Starting point is 00:24:24 Instagram. His ex-wife, Desiree DaCosta, they were married for 27 years. So I guess last year that happened. And then he ended up getting engaged to his best friend. He posted, My personal highlight was walking the red carpet with my new fiancé, Josie Hart, the most amazing, brilliant, beautiful, hilarious, thought-provoking, and insightful person I know who continuously lives life out loud. The future is crazy bright, girl.
Starting point is 00:24:50 None of us ever know where God will guide our paths. She's had my back since before I even became an actor when a 41-year friendship slaps you in the back of the head and blossoms into romance. Now, I saw a lot of people on social media talking about this, you know, just because they were friends for so long. They were friends all throughout his marriage, but then now I guess he's found his soulmate, and that person could have been the person who was best friends with you
Starting point is 00:25:16 for all this time. 41 years is a long friendship. That's a great conversation and a great topic because in a lot of relationships, a lot of people don't want, you know, the other sex or, you know, somebody from the other sex being a friend or being that close because they feel like, you know, you never know what will happen. So that's definitely a good conversation. The Blair Underwood story is making me crack up because I know for a fact at least one or two of my exes was side-eyeing me for marrying the girl best friend I told them not to worry about. One of my exes actually commented
Starting point is 00:25:46 finally under our picture on IG. All right, now Jennifer Lopez has announced This Is Me Now, 20 years after her original Ben Affleck-inspired album This Is Me Then. So coming full circle, 20 years to the day of This Is Me Then. She now has a new album, This Is Me Now.
Starting point is 00:26:06 So does Bid Affleck get executive producer credits on these projects? Maybe he doesn't need them. Is he desperation? You know, it's a reflection of her life. And she recreated the album cover. She said This Is Me Then is my favorite album I've ever done so far. And so I guess now we can get ready for This Is Me Now. That's amazing. See how people can end up back together after having been together back then? All right, now let's talk
Starting point is 00:26:32 about Kanye West meeting with Donald Trump. Donald Trump has even said that now that Kanye West is a seriously troubled man who just happens to be black. He was roasted for a meeting this week with Kanye and also with a white nationalist, Nick Fuentes, both of whom are under fire right now for remarks that they've made. Here is what Kanye West had to say about his campaign. And according to Kanye, he also had asked Donald Trump to be his vice president. Goes into the story about all that he went through to get Alice Johnson out of jail and how he didn't do it for Kim, but he did it for me.
Starting point is 00:27:11 But then he goes on to say that Kim is a... You can tell her I said that. And I was thinking, like, that's the mother of my children. Since we know, and all the Christians in America that love Trump know that Trump is a conservative, we're going to demand that you hold all policies directly to the Bible. When Trump started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose, I mean, has that ever worked for anyone in history? You're going to lose. I'm like, well, hold on, hold on, hold on, Trump.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You're talking to Ye. Now, Donald Trump went on his Truth Social and said, so I help a seriously troubled man who just happens to be black, Ye, Kanye West, who has been decimated in his business and virtually everything else, and who had always been good to me by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago alone so that I can give him very much needed advice. He said Ye then showed up with three people, two of whom Donald Trump says that he didn't know.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Now, other things happening. Kanye West has officially launched his run for presidency. And in his ad, he actually has Vivica Fox's voice. Yo, Kanye, F you. And I mean that with everything inside of me. We have got to cancel him. And I know we do not try to be in a cancel culture. We've got to hit him in his pockets now because he obviously does not care about the African-American culture. Now, Vivica Fox responded to this campaign video and said, now, darling, if you're going to use a clip featuring me, it should be accurate.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I was not happy with you for saying George Floyd wasn't murdered, but thanks for watching my Fox Soul Show, Cocktails with Queens, and no two can play that game. So that was her response. Now, there's a lot more going on. We'll get to that in the next rumor report. But next up, we do have front page news. You know what I'm trying to figure out, man?
Starting point is 00:28:59 What's that? I'm trying to figure out how do you stop eating sweet potato pie? Like, why is sweet potato pie so good? Out of all the things that are cooked for Thanksgiving, why is sweet potato pie so good and the hardest thing to stop eating? She just gave you all that information on Blair Underwood, on Kanye West, and all that, and all you could think about is sweet potato pie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Boy, you better throw them leftovers away today. All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, and we'll be talking about a 12-year-old was killed and five teenagers were injured. This was a shooting that happened Saturday night in Atlantic Station in Atlanta. All right. We'll get into that next.
Starting point is 00:29:39 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-size condoms. That gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor, and it means you're protected,
Starting point is 00:29:56 and you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard. Magnum large-size condoms. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.
Starting point is 00:30:15 In the NFL over the weekend, the Dolphins beat the Texans, Bengals beat the Titans, Panthers beat the Broncos, the Jets beat the Bears, Commanders beat the Falcons, the Browns beat the Buccaneers, the Jaguars beat the Ravens. Raiders beat the Seahawks. Chargers beat the Cardinals. And the 49ers beat the Saints. Chiefs beat the Rams. And the Eagles beat the Packers. And don't forget about the Thursday night games. The Thanksgiving night, Thanksgiving day games are very important.
Starting point is 00:30:35 After you eat, we all thoroughly enjoyed watching my Dallas Cowboys defeat the New York Giants 28-20. Drop on the clues, Bonds, for the Dallas Cowboys. Damn it. We don't talk about old games. It's kind of like the food on Thanksgiving. We don't eat it no more after today, so we don't discuss it anymore, bro. Well, the thing is, you don't throw out old scores, though. You know?
Starting point is 00:30:54 There's no such thing as old scores, leftover scores. You don't throw those away. Those are on a record. That's why they call them a record. That's why we're 8-3, all of 7-4. All right. What else we got? Two of those losses came from the Dallas Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Okay. All right, what else we got? Two of those losses came from the Dallas Cowboys. Okay. All right, now Joe Biden is talking about a push for an assault weapons ban, and that is after another string of mass shootings. Here's what Joe Biden had to say. The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It's just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturer.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Can you do anything about gun laws during the lame duck, sir? I'm going to try. What will you try and do? I'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons. During the lame duck? I'm going to do it whenever I got to make that assessment as I get in and start counting the votes. All right. And, you know, this is all on the heels of a 12-year-old was killed.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Five teenagers were injured in a shooting Saturday night after gunfire erupted near Atlanta's Atlantic Station retail district. One teenager did sustain critical injuries while four others were shot or injured in some way. Three guns were recovered from the scene there. Police did not identify the deceased victim. And then they have identified the youngest victim in a mass shooting inside of the Walmart that was in Chesapeake, Virginia. Previously, they had identified five others who were killed at that Walmart. Randy Blevins, Lorenzo Gamble, Tanika Johnson, Brian Pendleton, and Kelly Pyle. Now they have identified a 16-year-old employee. He reportedly used his first paycheck to buy his mother a gift
Starting point is 00:32:30 before he was killed two days ahead of Thanksgiving. That was Fernando Chavez Barron. And so police did identify the shooter as 31-year-old Andre Bing. They said he was armed with one handgun and had multiple magazines on his person. He was an overnight team lead and had been in play with Walmart since 2010, according to the company.
Starting point is 00:32:52 So it was a handgun, they said. It was a handgun with just multiple magazines. So sad, man. Rest in peace and condolences and shout out to everybody out in Chesapeake, the whole 757-804, man. It's so damn sad. Now, they did also release details of writings from the shooter's phone that was obtained after the tragedy.
Starting point is 00:33:10 The writings were titled Death Note, and they contained grievances against people in his life, including some co-workers, according to the city's Twitter account. Well, there's never going to be gun control in this country as long as you have the NRA spending millions of dollars a year to influence gun policy. Okay, as long as they can make contributions to lawmakers, you'll never see real gun control in this country because these folks care more about money than they do the lives of people. All right, so again, rest in peace. There was a lot that happened. Colorado Springs, there was an LGBTQ club shooting. And the suspect there is being held without bond
Starting point is 00:33:46 as prosecutors have been working to finalize formal charges. And so they're expected to have formal charges at the next court hearing that is set for December 6th. And that is Anderson Lee Aldridge. He appeared in court via video conference for the first time since the attack that he did that left five people dead and more than a dozen injured now let me ask you guys a question now when we talk assault rifles right and people talking about banning them do we ever need a weapon that can fire that powerful and that strong for civilians most people will say no and now charlamagne you live in new jersey now if a bear comes on your property and starts coming in your house, nine times out of ten, a handgun ain't going to stop it.
Starting point is 00:34:27 So it's kind of both sides because I don't want to see assault rifles out there. I don't think there's any type of assault rifle or anything that should be shooting regular people, especially to civilians. But also, you know, can a handgun protect you against a bear? I'm just asking. I don't know. What are you talking about this morning? It is Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I don't feel like processing these kind of stupid-ass questions, man. It's not a stupid question. She just talked about banning assault rifles. I know, before a bear. I've been living in Jersey all these years. I ain't never seen a damn bear, man. Never? No.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I see them on the news, and they don't be bothering nobody. They go through some trash, and they mind their business. They attacking the little dogs and chasing little kids and all that. Don't they have tasers that you can use for animals? I ain't tasing no bear neither. As a matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:35:15 I'm not doing nothing to a bear except trying to get away from it and call the proper authorities to come handle this bear. Okay? Ain't nobody tasing no bear, ye. And if they don't come fast enough, I'm going to tell them it's a black bear.
Starting point is 00:35:26 They'll get there in so fast. I don't see any reason for a civilian to have the type of assault rifles that we're seeing in a lot of these crimes. The AR-15s and everything else. Bears included.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I don't see any reason for a human to have that kind of firepower. Yeah, I don't think civilians should have it either. Anyway, but they also have a shotgun, which is, you know, you could put two slugs or eight slugs in it. I'm cool with shotguns. I'm fine with shotguns. Shotguns are cool, yeah. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Shotgun to stop a bear. But, yeah, I don't believe it. I put you in bears. Did you have a traumatic experience with a bear? This week, what the hell are you talking about? A bear? Why you keep bringing up bears? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I'm just because I see bears. Oh, okay. Well, we don't have those in Brooklyn. We need another week. We need another week, bro. You sleep. Oh, my gosh. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Well, that is front page news. Y'all gonna have fun next week. All right. Now, let's open up the phone lines. You were talking about Blair Underwood earlier, right? Yes, we were talking about Blair Underwood. He's gotten engaged to his friend of 41 years. So he just got divorced last year. He was with his wife for 27 years. And, you know, he had a friendship with this woman during that time.
Starting point is 00:36:39 That was his best friend. And now they're engaged. Josie Hart is her name. So what's the question? 800-585-1051. Would you ever date your best friend, your platonic best friend and now they're engaged. Josie Hart is her name. So what's the question? 800-585-1051. Would you ever date your best friend, your platonic best friend? Or have you? Have you ever gotten with your best friend? All right, well, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:36:53 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. Have you ever dated your platonic best friend? Or would you? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:37:09 It's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's dj nv ang Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking something that went down with Blair Underwood. We're taking it from there. And for people that are just joining us, what happened with Blair Underwood? Well, he's engaged, so congratulations to him. But he's engaged to his friend of 41 years.
Starting point is 00:37:40 He posted it, and he said, none of us ever know where God will guide our path. She's had my back since before I even became an actor. When a 41 year friendship slaps you in the back of the head and blossoms into romance, you stand up, pay attention and step forward in gratitude. And so now people are commenting because he did just get divorced last year and he was with his wife for 27 years, but he's been friends with his now fiance for 41 years so we're asking 800-585-1051 have you ever uh dated married or got with your platonic best friend let's start with you ye um i haven't i've there's been people that i ended up dating that because i feel like you should be friends first but not my best friend you know my best friend who's a guy I've been friends with him since 10th grade and we've never
Starting point is 00:38:29 as a matter of fact he dated my other best friend so we were like a little click and so the two of them dated but he was really good friends with me and you know she was my friend too so and he still lives right near me now we're still friends to. Yeah, that's a tough question for me because I've been with Gia since I was 16 and 15. So it doesn't. But I will say this. That's why in our marriage, if she has a friend, we all friends. And I have a friend. We all friends.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Yeah. It ain't just your friend or this. That's just my friend. We all friends in this mother. And I also believe that you have to have full transparency. And there's even though that's your friend, there's certain rules. Like, I wouldn't, you know, my boy, he's married now. And out of
Starting point is 00:39:10 respect, like, unless it was an emergency, I don't call him late at night. I think, like, after around, like, 9.30, you know, I wouldn't call him just to chat it up. And anytime we do anything, like, if we go out to eat, you know, it's like, she can join us or not, but she totally is
Starting point is 00:39:25 fine with it because she knows i'm not inappropriate and yeah i just think it's important for the other person to feel comfortable charlamagne uh if my wife counts yeah i mean you know just like you know you and your wife we were young but we were just friends for a long time so if she counts yes i dated her married her had four kids with her all of that she's definitely my best friend to this day and yes all my female friends because i have majority female friends those are her friends too because you know anybody especially somebody of the opposite sex that i've met in my life i've absolutely absolutely introduced him uh to my wife. Correct. We're all friends. Mm-hmm. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:40:07 Misha. Hey, Misha. Have you ever got with your platonic best friend? I have. How'd that work out? We were friends before the relationship,
Starting point is 00:40:15 so we were great friends during the relationship. And then after the relationship, it was weird for a little while, but we went back to best friends. So, I mean, I think it's possible
Starting point is 00:40:24 to be with a platonic best friend. Okay. What about if you're dating somebody? Do they mind you having friends, you know, like other guy friends that you're really close with? I guess it depends on who you're dating. Because, I mean, some friends are cool with it as long as they know, like, oh, this is your friend. But I date a female, and she's kind of uptight about me having such close female friends because she thinks different.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Does she have a reason to think that? Yes, because that same person is the best friend that I was with. That same person is the best friend that I was with. We're still very close friends, but we were together for a while. So she's just like, I don't understand how y'all went back to friends. I mean, me and my best friend get it, but other people don't get it. Well, that is a tough spot to be in. It is.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Very much so. Alright. Thank you, Mama. Hello! Who's this? The club with no breakfast is going on. What's up, brother? What's happening? Good morning. Hey, man, listen. I'm actually glad that I called with this topic because this one is an easy one. Okay, go.
Starting point is 00:41:29 In my personal opinion, a lot of people avoid a lot of headaches in life if they choose to be with people who they're best friends with. I don't understand why people would rather take a gamble on a stranger than take a gamble on somebody who knows you, in most cases, better than you know yourself or just as well as you know yourself. Well, I think I... I was going to say, ideally, yeah, you would date your best friend, but sometimes you might, you know, be friends with
Starting point is 00:41:51 somebody who's in another situation, in another relationship. You might not have a sexual attraction to them. I mean, yeah, all of those points are given, but at the same token, the question was, do you think, would you enter a relationship with your best friend and a platonic a platonic friend a platonic relation a platonic friend okay i really
Starting point is 00:42:11 feel like in most cases people don't even consider a platonic friend for the reasons you just named yeah but i also feel like that's hindering them from possibly being happy because i mean in most cases your friends do know you better than someone you just meet on the street and take a gamble on and enter a relationship with. Yeah, I would think that the person that you're entering a lifelong relationship with, like marriage or anything else, I would hope that you and that person are best friends. I would hope. Yeah, you said stranger. I mean, yeah, they would be your best friend by the time you got married, hopefully.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I would hope. Because sometimes you could be friends with somebody so long that you don't look at them in a sexual way, too. Like, you might just. But in a relationship, too, you could also be with somebody for so long that you're just content with the way things are. It's not about love feeling fresh anymore. It's not about the relationship being this or that. It's just, okay, I'm with them and they're with me. You know, I'm pretty sure you both, all three of you know people who are stuck in relationships.
Starting point is 00:43:04 They've been in for way too damn long. That don't mean they happy, they just stuck in it. You know, so in that case, I'd much rather take a gamble on a platonic friend than a situation like that. I'm with you. Alright, thank you, brother. 800-585-1051. We're asking, have you ever dated
Starting point is 00:43:19 a platonic best friend? Now, this story comes from Blair Underwood. What happened, Yee? He ended up getting engaged to his best friend. Now, this story comes from Blair Underwood. What happened, Yee? He ended up getting engaged to his best friend of 41 years. And people are talking about the fact that, you know, he just got divorced last year. He was married for 27 years.
Starting point is 00:43:35 So they're like, oh, so was this all along something that, you know, he said it slapped him in the face. But everybody's like, hmm, was there some type of overlap? All right. 800-585-1051.

And the story comes from Blair Underwood. Yes, he is engaged to his best friend of 41 years. It slapped him in the face, he said. Slapped him in the face. Now, you have dated your platonic best friend before, right?
Starting point is 00:49:59 No, not my best friend. I said I haven't. But I have dated people that I was just friends with, but they weren't best friends. I think that for me't. But I have like gone on, you know, I've dated people that I was just friends with, but they weren't best friends. I think that for me, it's always been something where, and I know a lot of women feel like this, you could meet somebody and know if you're attracted to them or if there's any
Starting point is 00:50:14 type of potential. And some people you meet and you know there is none. Like, there's just no chemistry, but they super cool. And so people like that, no. But if it's somebody that I've just been like slightly cool with, I've dated those people, but not my best friend. All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Hello. Who's this? This is Jermaine from Pittsburgh. Jermaine from Pittsburgh. We're asking, have you ever dated your platonic best friend, brother? I'm married to my platonic best friend. And it was the best decision I've ever made. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:40 How'd it happen? How long were y'all platonic for? Two years. We were both in toxic relationships. I was good friends with the guy that she was with. You know what I mean? But, you know, it's weird how life worked out. That's how we got to know each other.
Starting point is 00:50:57 And we just decided to give it a shot after a while. And I never looked back. We've been so happy ever since it's one of those things that make you feel like shit is on its feet but if we ain't go through what we had to go through we wouldn't be where we ought to be now you wasn't that friend that she would come vent to about your friend was you i stayed out of it i stayed out of it. I stayed out of it. I was going through my own toxic relationship. That was a horrible nightmare. Okay.

Starting point is 00:51:53 Yeah, I heard the topic this morning, man. And I want to start off by saying, first off, I am the double back king. I always spin the block again. Oh, my gosh. Especially if it was good to me. But I feel like it's easier to, you know, maybe go back and date somebody Oh, my gosh. expect from somebody I kind of already know versus meeting somebody I don't know and, you know, taking a chance and it going left. Okay, so you've definitely hooked up with platonic friends. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:52:34 And you prefer that? I prefer it. What about her having platonic friends? Are you okay with that? She's in this where it all goes south at. There ain't no platonic friend because I just told you what I'm capable of and what I like to do. What I'm capable of. I don't like my female
Starting point is 00:52:47 to have a platonic, a male friend. All right. Well, there you go. So you can't even do it because you can't even have a platonic friend, period. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:52:59 This is Tango Ray from my Florida. Tango Ray. Tango Ray. He's like a male scruffle. My goodness. All right, we're asking, we're talking platonic friendships. All right, have you ever dated your platonic best friend, brother?
Starting point is 00:53:12 Yeah, well, I'm a little bit older, man, so I got a lot of experience. So, yeah, once upon a time. And let me tell you something. If I couldn't get out of my own way in my head, I think it would have been okay. You couldn't get over the fact that this is your friend? Excuse me? You couldn't get over the fact that this is your friend? Yeah, because, you know, they in that friend zone.
Starting point is 00:53:34 When they cool like that, you don't see them in that light. Right. But, you know, sometimes situations when they know you, it can be comfortable. You know what I mean? But sometimes you can't get over appearances. The fact that y'all used to go watch football games together. Oh, this kind of, you know. Y'all can still go do that.
Starting point is 00:53:54 It all stops. Yeah, nah, it changes. Come on. Y'all be making these things weird, man. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes you know that you and the person are supposed to be together. Sometimes you that you and the person are supposed to be together. Sometimes you know you and the person are soulmates.
Starting point is 00:54:08 And yes, it should start as y'all being the best of friends. And then you make it weird because now you don't want to do the same thing that you've been doing with your friend. That makes no sense to me. Yeah, but when your friends do all them things to you, you know, like you... Anyway.
Starting point is 00:54:21 When they do all them things. How old are you, brother? I'm 54. Hey, can I say old are you, brother? I'm 54. Hey, can I say this real quick, man? I'm a little bit older, brother. I'm older than all y'all. But what y'all doing on the radio, I would be so proud if either one of y'all was my child.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Well, that was nice. Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that. You can be our platonic father. Oh, cool, cool. There we go. No, not you, Yeeto.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I heard about the things you like, and I like the, cool, cool. There we go. No, not you, Yeeto. Uh-uh. I heard about the things you like, and I like the same thing, so. What? Okay. Well, thanks, Dad.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Thanks, Dad. He actually couldn't go to any of our fathers, though. I mean, he's only 54, guys. Yeah, I know. He said it. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:55:02 He'll be proud of us. We're all pretty long in the tooth, guys. Hey, Dad, can you send us some money? You hung up on him? No. Oh, there you go, Dad. Can you send us some money?
Starting point is 00:55:10 Get me some money. It's holiday season, Dad. Can you send us some money? You guys say hi to my dad, Tanker Ray. That's your dad, Tanker Ray. My goodness. All right, thank you, brother. What's the moral of the story if there is one?
Starting point is 00:55:21 You know, the moral of the story, I've always heard this quote, it's so hard to pretend to be friends with somebody special when every time you look at that person all you see is everything that you know you you want to have so i guess that's the moral of the story it's very hard to pretend to be friends with somebody special when every time you look at that person all you see is everything you want to have so how do you look at me best friend i don't look at you in any way, sir. So there's a chance. There's a chance. There's a shot.
Starting point is 00:55:48 See, he didn't say no. All right, we got rumors on the way? Yes. I'm going to let Gear handle all that later on. Gear hear every word that's coming out your mouth, and you think just because it's to me that it don't count. But this is high-level flirting and cheating that you're doing, bro. We got rumors on the way.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Is this considered cheating, what y'all doing i think it's very disrespectful to his wife so is it cheating though he does the same to me all the time never all the time all right uh we'll talk about the valenciaga controversy we'll tell you how they are planning to address it and what everyone else is saying all right we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club. Good morning. Rap to you real quick. Charlamagne, say the gang. Don't get out of shape, man. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 00:56:34 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 me with the heat. It's the Breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yeah, I couldn't wait to get to this one last week.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Donkey of the day for Monday, November 28th goes to Aaron Franklin Brink. Who is Aaron Franklin Blink? Is it Blink or Brink? Hold on, let me make sure. It is Aaron Brink. Yes, Aaron Brink. Aaron Franklin Brink. Well, he is the father of Anderson Lee Aldrich, who was a 22-year-old who allegedly,
Starting point is 00:57:09 you got to say allegedly, carried out a deadly shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Condolences to everyone who lost their life in that tragic shooting. Sending healing energy to everyone who was injured in this tragic mass shooting. Anderson has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of bias-motivated crimes causing bodily injury. The bias, of course, was because Club Q was an LGBTQ bar. Now, if you're a parent and someone comes to you and tells you that your child did something so heinous, like a mass shooting,
Starting point is 00:57:42 I can imagine the plethora of emotions that run through you. Actually, who am I fooling? I can't imagine what the plethora of emotions that would run through you would be, even though I know that it indeed would be a plethora of emotions. I just can't imagine what a parent would actually feel, but I would think it would be concern for both my child and the people he hurt and killed. We all feel a sense of hurt and pain whenever we hear these mass shootings. I know I do because it's just a reminder that we aren't safe anywhere.
Starting point is 00:58:13 OK, every day we are trying to avoid other people's crazy. Every day we are trying to avoid other people's projections. So when it happens, you automatically feel sorry for these people who lost their lives simply because one individual hated their own. Yes, you have to hate yourself something serious to wake up and say, I'm going to project this hate I have for myself onto others. I'm going to project this hurt and pain I'm feeling. I'm going to go share it by taking out as many people as I can today. I really wish folks who felt this way would either get some real help or if you want to kill someone, start with yourself first because I'm sick of seeing innocent lives being lost
Starting point is 00:58:50 because folks won't deal with the real problem and that's the person staring back at them in the mirror. And I'm saying all that to say, yes, that has to be a lot for a parent to handle. Well, Aaron Franklin Brink had a lot of things running through his mind when he found out his son had hurt and killed all those people in Club Q. But one of those things is a mindset that probably led to things like the Club Q shooting happening. Let's listen. So his attorneys called you. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:59:18 And they said your son wants to talk with you. Why did they call you? He didn't actually say he wants to talk to me. They said that it happened when you leave what happened they started telling me what the incident about the incidents there was a shooting involving you know multiple people right and then i go on they were on one to find it's a gay bar yeah right and i was like oh my god it's a gay as a scary oh my god is he gay and he's not gay so it's like well you guys have had conversations about that you you were oh yeah yeah you were adamant that gay is happening i understand i'm a mormon i'm a conservative
Starting point is 00:59:53 republican and we don't do gay yeah we don't do gay yeah so you mean to tell me that you just found out your son killed multiple people at a gay bar and one of the first things that you just found out your son killed multiple people at a gay bar. And one of the first things that you think about, one of the first questions that come to your mind, God, is he gay? That's what you care about at a time like this. I don't know if he's gay or not, but he's certainly a murderer. And in regards to lack of empathy, the apple clearly don't fall too far from the tree.
Starting point is 01:00:20 I don't know how much time this man spent in his son's life, but when you see these people who are morally opposed to homosexuality because of faith, like this man, like this man is, oh, because he says he's a Mormon, then I'm sure that is a belief that was spread in that household or at least to his son a lot. All right. And that faith can make someone go from this is wrong in the eyes of God to this is evil to I have to stop these people at all costs. And sadly, now we are here. You don't care that your son is a murderer. You don't care he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison. You don't care that all these people are killed. You don't care that all these people have been shot and injured. All you care about is whether
Starting point is 01:00:59 your son was gay or not. His sexuality has nothing to do with the trouble he's in, sir. Okay, but the fact you care so much about that is exactly why things like the Club Q shooting happened because we are all too busy worrying about what the next person is doing with their body. And we are all too busy policing and attempting to be the judge, jury, and in this case, executioner of what people do with their bodies please let remy ma give aaron franklin break the biggest hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb all right well thank you for that donkey today and let's open up the phone lines 800 Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Let's discuss a topic that I'm sure is on a lot of people's mind this morning as they're waking up.
Starting point is 01:01:50 It's like two things. It's like two things that I feel like, you know, a lot of people think about after Thanksgiving. What's that? One, when do you put your Christmas decorations up? OK, that's a tough one. Yeah. Personally, they already up in our house. They after Thanksgiving, they got to go up. You. That's a tough one. Yeah. Personally, they already up in our house. Day after Thanksgiving, they got to go up. You know what I mean? Because, you know, the way that these days have been flying by, it'll be Christmas tomorrow. So, you know, let's get, let's, let's, let's enjoy the moment. Mine are already up. Second thing is. Yeah, I'm going to put mine up Wednesday. And the reason Wednesday is because Wednesday is supposed to be 60 degrees. So as I start putting
Starting point is 01:02:21 this stuff up, it's going to be kind of hot. It it ain't gonna be too cold but that that's my day okay okay okay and second is when do you stop eating leftovers now for me all leftovers are easy to stop but that damn pie that pie that sweet potato pie is very hard to stop eating i don't know how you stop eating sweet potato pie until it's gone. See, see here, we kind of eat the food until it's damn near good because I know y'all not pork eaters. Nope. We eat ham for breakfast with waffles and pancakes,
Starting point is 01:02:55 which is amazing. We chop it up and put it in our ham and cheese omelet. Good money. Turkey, we don't really mess with the turkey like that. You know, it's cool to eat. The kids just want to say they eat turkey. But the pies and the cheesecake and all that, I think today is the last day. You think today is the last day for the pie? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Not if there's something left over, bro. You might throw everything else out. You ain't throwing out that sweet potato pie, bro. Bro, it was Thursday, Thanksgiving. So that means they probably purchased it on Wednesday. So that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Starting point is 01:03:32 Monday, six days. Still slapping, bro. You're on the fence of possibly mold and possibly having a diarrhea attack and having to go to the ER. If it's mold, then you throw it out. But if it ain't no mold, it's hard to get rid of that sweet potato pie, bro.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Alright, well let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051 When can you get rid of the leftovers, the sweet potato pie? And when are you hanging up your decorations? I ain't gonna lie, I really didn't feel like hanging up decorations this year. I don't know why. Maybe it's going too
Starting point is 01:04:06 fast. I feel like when I blink, it's gonna be over and I'm gonna have to take them down. Nah, we put them in right after Thanksgiving, Friday. It went up. Now, yeah, you still eating your, well, first of all, did you have a Thanksgiving dinner at the crib with the fam? I think you were out the country, right? I actually got back for Thanksgiving. My parents
Starting point is 01:04:22 came over. That was it. I'm gonna be honest. I feel bad about this, and I know they're probably listening. I was supposed to see my family on Saturday and have a dinner, but my brother and I ended up going to Tilly's in Brooklyn and getting drunk, and we didn't make it. Well, you know Thanksgiving is Thursday, not Saturday. I know. My family always celebrates on a different day
Starting point is 01:04:42 so people could go see the other sides of their families. So everybody's not rushing around. And so we always do an alternate day so that, you know, the in-laws can go see their sides of the family and then we get together. That's just like Friday. I mean, are we really celebrating Thanksgiving or are we just getting together with family? Because people aren't now. But the games are on. It's like a whole routine.
Starting point is 01:05:06 No? No, we don't do that. And then we don't want to get together on Black Friday because my family's out shopping. So trying to get some deals. So, yeah, that's just weird. All right. But 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:05:20 When are you putting up them Christmas decorations? And also, when's the last day for them leftovers? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:11:23 happy happy holidays we're asking one when are Of course, Thanksgiving just happened. Happy holidays. We're asking, one, when are you putting up those Christmas decorations? And two, leftovers. When is the last day you can start munching on them leftovers? All right. Now, myself, today is the last day. Leftovers should be gone by now. If all we pick up is Monday, it should be out of here.
Starting point is 01:11:43 I agree with every other food except for that pie, bro. That pie, man, that sweet potato pie hit different, bro. And it's very hard to stop eating sweet potato pie. It's literally the hardest thing to stop eating. And I think it's because I don't eat sweet potato pie anytime except now around the holidays. So like Thanksgiving, then you might see another one around Christmas time. But boy, it's very hard to stop eating sweet potato pie. And Christmas decorations, if you ask me, they should be up already. Christmas decorations should have went up the day after Thanksgiving
Starting point is 01:12:11 because I'm a person that enjoys the holidays. I enjoy every moment of the holidays. And I think that Christmas decorations should go up right after Thanksgiving. Now, Anjali, what's your thoughts? I haven't done Christmas decorations since I lived at home with my parents. It's been that long. But I live by myself. I'm going to put up a, you know, decoration.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Yeah, it's still a holiday. It's still a season. I think if you have kids and things like that, it makes sense. But for myself, you know, I don't know if I'll do that now. I like when I go to my family's houses and they have their decorations up. But I don't do that. Yeah, and I put up holiday stuff immediately. Usually right after Thanksgiving,
Starting point is 01:12:47 I wasn't home because of the car show, but I usually wait for a warm day to get that stuff out. Even my office, I have it in the office and my kids don't come to the office like that, but I just, you just want to be in the, in the feeling and the season. You didn't decorate this office.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Well, we moving. Oh, not yet. Yeah. No, it's happening right now. All around we're still here so uh let's go to the phone lines hello who's this jody jody jody hey joey good morning man good morning man who is this dj dj md angeli and shalom in the gosser good morning everybody i'm just calling right now letting you know

I thought I was going to do two pieces, but man, like you said, you can't waste nothing like that. You got the graham cracker crust? Man, come on, man. You know
Starting point is 01:13:40 how grandma made it. We from Mississippi but moved up to Milwaukee. Strawberry topping? No, we didn't do the strawberry topping. But as far as Thanksgiving food, all that stuff is dried out. I want to say maybe Saturday. You got to let that go.
Starting point is 01:13:53 But the pie. No, Saturday a little too early. You can still stretch it. I think anything with dairy in it is weird to keep too long. Like mac and cheese and stuff like that. With dairy, I kind of feel like that doesn't really last. I ain't going to lie. Mac and cheese go to sunday mac and cheese go to sunday here you get sick i'm off all the food but it's just a sweet potato pie bruh and it's this other uh this this blue this blueberry like cobbler oh man talk to my guy mr todd by the way mr todd made all these desserts for us man

Starting point is 01:14:52 Monday, man. See, I thought it was just me. The sweet potato pie, you don't throw out until it's gone. That's probably the only thing that we actually finish. Now, does anybody freeze their food at home so it lasts longer? I got a pie in the freezer until Christmas. Pie in the freezer until Christmas? finish. Now, does anybody freeze their food at home so it lasts longer? I know you do that. I got a pie in the freezer until Christmas. I had a sweet potato pie.

My wife already said she put that in the freezer because she know I'm going to eat both of them if they're out. Goodness gracious. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this this kb from orlando florida what's up brother what's up kb you know on the way to the dentist right now i gotta get 14 cavities put in my mouth

Probably like three years ago. Do you floss every day? I do. I just don't floss at night. I got in between cavities. Yeah, you gotta make sure you floss. I feel like a lot of people don't floss like they should. You gotta floss every single day.
Starting point is 01:15:58 You know where you got them cavities from? You've been eating a lot of ass the last year, bro. I mean, I got into it when I had my baby. I got into it. Okay, okay. True. But yeah, my lady made it. She made us put up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. Smart woman.

I'm telling you, man. I cannot stop until it's gone. It's like to put that sweet potato pie down, man. I'm telling you, man. I cannot stop until it's gone. It's like a mission.

But yeah, before y'all kid me off, I just want to say shout out to my whole family. We made it to the breakfast club, baby. You made it.
Starting point is 01:16:43 All right. Thank you, brother. 800-585-1051. We're asking two questions this morning. Of course, happy holidays. We're asking, when is the last day for them leftovers, them pies, the desserts, also them food, and also, when are you putting up them decorations? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Good morning. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That kid don't even get what that is. Call me.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club Topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking a couple of questions this morning. First and foremost, happy holidays to you and yours.
Starting point is 01:17:27 Happy holidays. And we're asking, when is the last day for them leftovers, those pies, that food? When is the last day? And also, when are you putting up them decorations? Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Emma from Chillicothe. Emma, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:17:42 So we're asking, let's start with the decorations. When you putting decorations up, Mama? Hey, them decorations go up literally maybe an hour after Thanksgiving in my house just because of the fact that I like to grab the kids, like to drive around, go see all the Christmas lights. Our neighborhood actually has a competition, so I like to take the kids around, show them off. And we like to be the first ones up, you know,
Starting point is 01:18:04 got to get up on the competition in the neighborhood. True, true, true. Okay. And what about the leftovers, Mama? For the leftovers, always save the desserts for last. I'm still munching on my desserts right now, and I'll probably get about two more days. What you got?
Starting point is 01:18:20 What desserts did you have, ma'am? So I had, of course, the OG pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie. OG. And then we have a family recipe. It's called pretzel salad. It's got whipped cream, strawberries, yellow, and pretzel with
Starting point is 01:18:37 a lot of sugar in it. So it's really, really good. Okay. I'm telling you, that sweet potato pie is the hardest thing to stop eating, man. Hello, who's this? This is Betty. Hey, Betty. Good morning. Good morning. We're asking Christmas decorations. When you putting them up in the last day
Starting point is 01:18:53 for leftovers, especially them pies? Okay, hear me out. I put my Christmas decorations up after Halloween. Okay. I know a lot of people do that, too. That's disrespectful. They do. they do. That makes sense. Well, I have little kids. So they're six, seven,
Starting point is 01:19:10 and two. Grandma started buying Christmas gifts and I ran out of places to put them that they wouldn't find them because they're nosy. So I had no choice but to put the tree up and wrap them. You know they're going to unwrap those gifts a little bit and then tape them back up.
Starting point is 01:19:25 Well, my two-year-old did, but luckily it wasn't his that he unwrapped, so we just wrapped it back up, but he knows now not to go under the tree. That's too much temptation, man. You got them gifts out for that long. You know, because I know I did it when I was young. With hiding them, they know they're in there somewhere, so for them it was just a big
Starting point is 01:19:41 game of hide and seek. So they had more fun trying to find the presents than actually seeing that they're there. And I just told them that off on the shelf, put them there. So if they opened them, then Santa wouldn't send any more. And they didn't do it anymore. I definitely used to find all my gifts before Christmas.
Starting point is 01:19:58 And as far as leftovers, my last day for leftovers was yesterday. But I still have pie, the carrot cake was done yesterday But I still have pie The carrot cake was done And I still have chocolate cake That's what I'm telling you It's the desserts man

Starting point is 01:21:06 October and November, it felt like we've been having half days, bro. This can't be the same 24 hours that we had as kids.

And her publicist said she'll be reading each and every one of people's thoughts and memories of Irene, and she did adore her fans. If you guys don't know who Irene Cara is, I mean, she is iconic from Flashdance and also from Fame.

All right, now Drake has given DJ Khaled a present that I thought was actually a really good gift. Luxury toilet bowls. You know those Toto toilets? He gave him four of them, and DJ Khaled showed them off online.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Listen, this is not no regular toilet bowl. My brother Drake just bought me and my family about four big toilet bowls. This is called the Toto toilet bowl. If you've ever been to Drake's house, his toilet bowls are incredible. This with the light, the UV light, and it got the water too that splats up, right? Refreshing energy, you know what I'm saying? And I'm hearing there's some music involved too, might play some music.
Starting point is 01:23:26 No, real talk, this might be the best gift ever, like real talk. Anybody knows, toilet bowls, besides when you do the theory, that's where you meditate and reflect on life. Ideas becoming, some of my biggest ideas come from me taking a theory. Now that's real talk, and I got one now that lights up and it sprays theory and then it even
Starting point is 01:23:45 makes a smell theory and it's like a big theory drake we love you brother drop one of clues bombs for drake phenomenal those total toilets are no joke if you ever sit on one you're like wow i don't know if i can go back to my regular toilet now they're amazing they're heated they're everything yeah the only thing that you could get somebody better than that is probably a mattress. You know what I mean? Like the right mattress. But man, that is an amazing, amazing present. That is very thoughtful.
Starting point is 01:24:11 And it's amazing to me that toilets are one size fit all. You ever think about that? Regardless of how big you are, the toilet can fit you. Yeah, it's one little hole because nobody's hole is too big for a toilet, right? All right. Now, Odell Beckham Jr. was escorted off a plane in Miami. Cops claimed that he was in and out of consciousness
Starting point is 01:24:28 and he was leaving Miami for L.A. The plane never got off the runway because they said they had to step in when he was allegedly freaking out the flight crew with his loopy state of mind. They were called to respond to an American Airlines flight.

Cynthia Bailey's ex-husband, Wendy, had went to him to try to get some information on opening up her own lounge. And when they all decided to come into Miami and go to the restaurant, Mia went to go talk to Peter.
Starting point is 01:26:38 And she went back to Wendy and was like, why didn't you let Peter know you were coming into town? Wendy was like, I don't have to let a man know I'm coming into town unless it's my husband. And then things escalated and she threw it and Mia ended up throwing a drink on Wendy. People were also upset about Robin because she was filming it saying that she was TMZ. And she said Wendy was the person that was actually instigating the situation. All right.
