Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.
Starting point is 00:02:17 And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. Apple Podcasts, or wherever

Starting point is 00:04:08 Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. Good morning. Yes, happy Monday. It is freezing in New York today. This is like so far.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I guess it's on Brandon where we're supposed to be. That's where it's supposed to be. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's been freezing everywhere we've been the past few days. We was in Nashville this weekend, and I didn't realize Nashville was going to be so cold. Yeah, they said it was 7 degrees the first day, and then the next day it dropped like 30 degrees. Yeah, when I got there, it was definitely in the 30-degree mark.
Starting point is 00:04:40 That's why I bought a winter coat on purpose. And then everybody, I'm sure, watched Dave Chappelle hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend. If you didn't watch it live, I'm sure by now you've seen his intro monologue. I definitely saw Dave's monologue. Dave does what he does best, man. The things that are going on in the world, Dave can put in a nice little filter and a blender and mix it up and give it to you in a nice digestible way so you can understand it. Well, definitely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Let me talk about that. I went to the after party for his SNL. This is the latest. I think I've been out in a long time. The party started at like 3 a.m. I just thought the other day he was out late. I have never gone to a party that started at 3 a.m. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I don't believe that. As many Jamaicans as you know. As many Jamaicans as you know. Well, not in a long time. Exactly. Okay, not in a long time. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 00:05:34 There you go. I got home at 7 a.m. I was like, this is crazy. Let me shout out to my daughter, Madison. Madison turned 21 yesterday. So we've been celebrating and enjoying her birthday and just enjoying life for her. So happy birthday to Madison. Oh, grown up.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Had a great time this weekend. That's your oldest. That's my oldest, yeah. I took her to see Erykah Badu this weekend, which was a great time for her. You can never lose with that. You can never lose going to see Big Badu. Mm-hmm. She called herself Big Erykah at the concert, but she killed it over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:06 It was just a great weekend with my daughter and family and just celebrating life, man. Just celebrating the good things in this world and the wins. So, happy birthday to Madison. So, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Alright, well, people did not
Starting point is 00:06:21 anticipate this, but the Democrats kept the Senate as control of the House is still undecided. We'll give you some info. All right. We'll get into that next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now on some Sunday night football, a Sunday football. The Buccaneers beat the Seahawks. The Lions beat the Bears.
Starting point is 00:06:47 The Dolphins beat the Browns. The Titans beat the Broncos. The Giants beat the Texans yesterday. Did you see that game, Charlemagne? I was watching Bishop T.D. Jiggs yesterday. Okay, well, the Vikings beat the Bills. The Chiefs beat the Jaguars. Steelers beat the Saints.
Starting point is 00:07:04 The Colts beat the Raiders. The Cardinals beat the Rams. The Packers beat the Bills. The Chiefs beat the Jaguars. Steelers beat the Saints. The Colts beat the Raiders. The Cardinals beat the Rams. The Packers beat the Cowboys. Did you see that game, Sean? Yeah, that was a tough loss for my Cowboys. I can't lie. You know what I mean? That's one of the ones we're supposed to win.
Starting point is 00:07:17 So to lose the games that you're supposed to win, it's football. Any given Sunday, it happens. And what's your record? Six and three. All right. Well what's your record? Six and three. Well, my Giants are seven and two. The 49ers beat the Chargers. Who are one of the losses to? Any one of the people that beat y'all?
Starting point is 00:07:34 I don't know, sir. I'm sure you wouldn't remember. Conveniently. I don't, sir. And tonight, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Commanders at 8-15. I hate the Commanders, man. I hate their name, too. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I understand why people didn't like the name Redskins, but I really hate the Commanders. Y'all could have did something better than that. The only time Commander ever sounded good when it was Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe. Why did the Commander sound crazy? Yep, and also congratulations to Floyd Mayweather. He won his exhibition over the weekend, right?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Now what else we got, Yeezy? All right, now let's talk about these elections. Democrats will keep control of the Senate, according to CNN, and a lot of different projections that are happening right now. And so after victories in close contests in Nevada and Arizona, that's what the projection is. And there's usually a historical trend of midterm elections breaking against parties in power.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And there's been a lot of anxiety over high inflation. And, you know, the Democrats did, however, keep control of the Senate. Now, as far as the House, the battle for the control of the House is now what we're waiting to find out. It does seem like the Republicans are getting closer and closer toward a slim majority, but the Democrats hopes have not yet fully faded. Republicans have won 211 of the 218 seats that they would need to take the majority, while Democrats have 204 with 20 undecided
Starting point is 00:08:56 as of Saturday evening. Yeah, I definitely didn't expect the Dems to keep the Senate, and like you said they might hold the House too, maybe. Maybe. But it gives you some hope in this country. You know, people still care about democracy because at the end of the day, it's us versus fascism. And this country was definitely on the fast track to fascism. So for people to show up for the midterms and Dems to, you know, keep the Senate and potentially hold the House gives you some hope.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Gives you some hope in this country. Yeah, I was thinking that it's good that people were so concerned and people were saying, oh, the Republicans are going to take control and it's going to be a red wave and saying all of those things that may have ignited some people to vote, too. All right, now, as far as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, she's waiting to decide about her next steps in the new Congress. Here's what she had to say.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And if Democrats keep the majority, will you run again for speaker? I'm not. Right now, I'm not making any comments until this election is finished and we have a little more time to go. I wish it would come faster, but it isn't. Nancy said she's had enough. Folks running down on my husband with hammers. I'm getting old. I ain't got time for this no more.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Yeah, that has to be a tough decision to make because you have to think about your family and your safety. And something like that could scare you enough to say, you know what? It's not worth this. All right. Now, the Georgia runoff election is still important to Democrats as we're waiting to find out about that. And so that's going to happen on December 6th, like we've been saying. And, you know, we want to make sure, I guess, that... I mean, look, if you guys watch SNL and you saw Dave's opening monologue
Starting point is 00:10:30 and what he had to say about Hershel Walker, that's hilarious. And we'll talk about that later. But that's another thing that people are still focused on because that will be even more helpful for the Democrats. Okay? And that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:10:46 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Portia. Hey, good morning. Get it off your chest. I'm tired of paying all these taxes.
Starting point is 00:11:18 If I'm a nurse and I'm with this mask on and I can't breathe and I can't go pee and my check is $6,000, I should not be bringing home $3,100. I'm about to go with them. They're going to be looking for me because I'm not paying no more. All I heard was you tired of paying taxes and I agree with you. They're going to lock you up though if you don't pay your taxes though. I'm sick of it. I ain't saying
Starting point is 00:11:38 that we shouldn't have to pay taxes, but damn, do we got to pay 40%? That's a lot. And then you're punished when you don't have a whole lot of kids. Like, I don't have no dependents. They won't let me claim this, so I got insurance on him. I'm fine. I feel you.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I need some kids to claim. You ain't got no friends with about five, six churns? You can get one, claim one on your taxes? Envy, give her one. No, I got to claim all my kids. Everything. I thought it didn't matter after a certain point. I think after three.
Starting point is 00:12:05 All right, so yeah, let somebody claim your kids. That's illegal. Yay! Trap! Trap, how you feeling after you lost this weekend? Envy. Can you not do that, Envy? He was in such a good mood.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I have to. I didn't know football was on yesterday. Football was on yesterday, Envy? Yes, your Cowboys lost. Don't be like that, Trap. We're going to take our L's. You know what yesterday? Yes, your Cowboys lost. Don't be like that, Trav. We're going to take our L's. You know what I'm saying? We're going to take our L's like men.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Okay? We took our L's yesterday to the Packers. We should have won, but we didn't. It's okay. Oh, man. Sar, why would we not keep the field goal yesterday, Sar? I mean, I'm not mad at them for going for it. I wasn't mad at that.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. At first, I wasn't mad. I was like, okay, okay. And then I was like, well, damn. Well, it happens sometimes, Trav. So sorry for your loss. That ain't stopping our Super Bowl chances.
Starting point is 00:12:53 What's your record, Trav? What's your record? The Cowboys record. We are 6-3. Rashawn Casey. Thank you, Trav. He's crying over there. Travis. Thank you, Travis. Who's crying over there? Travis.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Thank you. Thank you. Can I tell y'all something that happens to me every weekend? What happens? Depends. So white people are privileged. Some of them. Let me not say that because I'm going to sound racist.
Starting point is 00:13:18 But I'm coming out of, I'm in the bathroom at the movie theater. I'm going to go see Wakanda Fairen. Did you love it? Did you cry? Oh, I did love it. Yeah, I'll be emotional when I see something like that. No spoilers, please. No spoilers. I'm just asking if he cried.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I haven't seen it. I just know people were saying they cried. But, you know, I had a little tear. I had, like, a little tear fall out. Okay. But I'm in the bathroom, coming out the bathroom. This little older white man is in there. So, you know, I'm going to the bathroom sink to go wash my hands.
Starting point is 00:13:48 And so we both come out at the start at the same time. So there's a sink next to mine. And I put my hands under the thing to start washing my hands. His sink didn't work. So when I'm washing my hands, you know this white man just didn't say nothing, didn't say excuse me, nothing. He just reaches over and tries to move my hand out the way. What?
Starting point is 00:14:07 I can't believe that. That does not say. What'd you do? I looked at him and said, excuse you. He's like, oh, oh, oh. I said, yeah. I'm standing here. Now, Trav, you should have grabbed his hand and started washing his hand with your hand.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Just made him feel all types of awkward. That's what you should have done. You know, he's like an older, he's like an old man. So I didn't want to be like. So? You should have just grabbed his hand with your hand just made him feel all types of awkward. That's what you should've done. You know, he's like an older, he's like an old man. So I didn't want to be like. So? You should've just grabbed his hand. He went to see Wakanda forever.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Clearly. But that's what happened to me. But yes, go see Wakanda forever. Sorry, you seen it? No, I haven't seen it yet.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I'm gonna go maybe later today. What? I was in Nashville all weekend. We had the Thrill of Possibility Summit in Nashville. I didn't have a chance to go see it I've been trying to buy tickets And there's like certain theaters

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

Starting point is 00:22:35 I didn't take my kid at 12, but I took my daughter at 16 and my son at 15, so I took them at an early age as well. And like you said, it's good to have that necessary training just in case anything ever happens at your house and you're not home or maybe you're home and you can't get to your firearm or whatever it may be
Starting point is 00:22:52 you want them to know how to properly use it or if they have to give it to you you want to actually know how to handle it and not you know shoot themselves or shoot somebody by accident so yeah I had training with my kids my wife early on there's nothing wrong with that.

The memorial service for takeoff was at Atlanta State Farm Arena on Friday. And there were thousands of people in attendance of course amongst those people were offset quavo drake uh pair p thomas and kevin coach kaylee also spoke at the memorial as well here is offset he gave a very emotional tribute i know that

Starting point is 00:32:49 Lord, give us the strength. Give us the strength, the family, everybody. Give us the strength. I don't want to question you, God, but I just don't get it. I don't get you sometimes. And I believe in you, Father. Now, are we supposed to even be playing that? I was doing the same thing. The family asked folks not to take video
Starting point is 00:33:13 of the event, and that's one of the videos that wasn't supposed to be recorded. Yeah, cell phones and video equipment were not permitted during the service that was sold out. And so that's some of the... I mean, it was all over the internet. Yeah, but that's because people don out. And so that's some of the, I mean, it was all over the internet. Yeah, but that's because people don't listen. And that's because people don't respect people's wishes.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And privacy. All right. Well, I mean, there's a lot of people who also spoke about what was said at the funeral. Quavo spoke as well. He gave a very emotional speech, too. You don't want to hear that? Nope. No. Nope.
Starting point is 00:33:43 If the family gave instructions for that stuff not to be recorded, then those people went there and disrespected the family's wishes and recorded it anyway just to post it online to get likes and retweets. Nope. I don't want to hear that. I mean, that's a good time because the family asked, please no videos, no pictures, please don't leak anything. They opened it up to the public because they wanted his fans to come in.
Starting point is 00:34:01 So I've seen it, you know, all the media and blogs and everybody posting it, but that's what the family wanted. You know, the man lost his life. You know, a mother lost her son, and, you know, family is grieving, so. Quavo posted, I know you weren't my brother because you are my sister's son, so I couldn't say brother. Now I finally get
Starting point is 00:34:18 it. You are our angel. And that's not even funeral etiquette. That's just y'all refuse to follow the rules, and that's because we live in an era that rewards people for those videos and pictures. If there was no social media, I don't think people would do that. They would just sit there and experience the moment. But we're in the show and tell era, so who knows? Now, Cardi B also posted,
Starting point is 00:34:37 Take off your untimely passing has brought a great deal of pain and sorrow to so many lives. The impact you had in this world was so considerable, and we have struggled to grasp this tragedy. I am heartbroken, but I am grateful for all the precious memories Thank you. family the strength to keep going as they are trying to cope with this loss. I believe that angels send signs and beautiful dreams to loved ones to assure them that they're watching them and they're okay and happy. Send your mom some of those.

Starting point is 00:35:53 that means that we've been interviewing the Migos since they was like 16, 17 years old. Like the first time we ever sat down with them, they had to be like, Quavo and Takeoff had to be like, well, Takeoff's two years old. It's like 18 and 16 or 19 and 17 or something like that.

Starting point is 00:39:24 The Commanders take on the Eagles at 8-15. All right, what else we got, Yeezy? All right, well, Kyrie Irving, his suspension was extended, so he didn't get to play against the Lakers, and he was suspended for at least five games earlier this month, and then that would be the sixth game, the game against the Lakers. And so he's still listed as suspended by the Nets, and he posted on social media,
Starting point is 00:39:48 I was not put here on Earth to participate in any religious political wars or incite racial disharmony, prejudice within communities. We are all equal under the sun, and I'm here to participate in the building of an equal world and follow the word from the Most High God. Yeah. So I'm not sure when he'll be back. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:07 All right. Now, a shooter killed three people and wounded two others at the University of Virginia's main campus in Charlottesville on Sunday. And the suspect, identified as a school student, is still at large, according to the university president, Jim Ryan. The campus was advised to shelter in place around 10.40 p.m. following the shooting. The suspect has been identified as Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. He's believed to be armed and dangerous, described as wearing a burgundy jacket with blue jeans and red shoes, and may be driving a black SUV. University officials have not identified the victims or stated whether they were students.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Wow. That's a really scary situation. So sad. Yeah, absolutely. All right. And two models in L.A. are asking that other curvy women speak out on size discrimination. They said they were denied entry to a club because of their bodies. Alexa J and Ella Halekis, they first shared their story on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:41:06 They went to the highlight room last week. They were going there to celebrate a friend's birthday and they were standing in line with others who were also invited to the party. As their group got closer to the entrance, the women say everybody was allowed in except them. They said the bouncer looked them up and down and said, not tonight.
Starting point is 00:41:21 And according to Alexa J, she felt embarrassed and humiliated, so she went home. She said to get ready and dressed up and feel so vulnerable that a man is now objectifying you at the door to see if you're worthy of coming in and having a drink or not is the worst feeling ever. And so right now, the parent company of the Highlight Room,
Starting point is 00:41:40 Tao Group Hospitality, said in a statement, they are aware of the incident. They're in contact with the women about their experience. They said, we are always appreciative of feedback on our operations and continue to work on how to improve our guest experience. Our company does not tolerate discrimination of any kind. And so they've gotten a message from the highlight room with the general manager's number, but they said that is not enough.
Starting point is 00:42:01 They said in that moment, it hurt because we have such a great following online. I have almost 600,000 followers on TikTok. But the second this happens in real life, everyone is silent. No one wants to stand up for you. So they want to share their experience online. They think this is the first time that people have faced prejudice because they are plus-sized women. They said it doesn't matter your race, your size, your sexual orientation. If you have acne, if you're pretty, if you're ugly, it does not matter.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And so right now they're using the hashtag not tonight as a way to reclaim the phrase i never thought about it i never thought about it from a legal perspective because you know our whole life we've been watching folks you know get dismissed from uh not getting in the club i'm sure that's happened to all of us in the room at some point right but uh does the person at the door have to tell you why they're not letting you in? Do they have to tell you it's because of the dress code or anything like that? I don't think they'll ever tell you that.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah, they're not going to say that, but if your whole entire group gets in and you're the only two plus size women and they look at you and say not tonight. Yeah, they'll never say that's the reason. They'll say it's, oh, you know, you didn't have like, you know, tuck your shirt into your pants or you're wearing sneakers
Starting point is 00:43:07 or they'll make an excuse. But like you said, if you get feedback, that's discrimination. Do they have to give you a reason? Like, do they have to tell you that it's because of the dress code or anything? They don't have to give you a reason. But I think that if a place has a history or does that a lot, like especially with racial discrimination, we've seen that happen a lot where everyone else
Starting point is 00:43:26 gets in and then maybe black people aren't getting in and so you can make your own conclusion if it happens enough and you're loud enough about it something can happen. That's a tough one to prove your call though. Not per se if they have video because of my size. You have to have video
Starting point is 00:43:42 though because usually you know what if it's just a bouncer saying hey no y'all not getting in tonight. But it has to be a though because usually, you know, if they got video, what if it's just a bouncer saying, hey, no, y'all not getting in tonight. But it has to be a reason though. Like,
Starting point is 00:43:48 you know what I mean? Like sometimes, I just asked that. Y'all told me you don't have to have a reason. No, at the door, you don't have to give a reason, but then when something like this happens,
Starting point is 00:43:54 but you have to tell why, then now you're accountable. Like, what was the reason for not letting them in? Now you have to answer that now that somebody's, yes.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yes. And then imagine other women come forward with those same experiences at that same location. Because as they've spoken up, maybe now there's a few other women who will be like, you know what? They did the same thing to me. I was going into a party with my friends. I didn't get in. And so that's how things happen when it's a pattern of behavior.
Starting point is 00:44:20 For fellas, they usually be like, you have to have a college shirt. You have to tuck your shirt into your pants. You can't wear sneakers you can't have jeans but it's the worst when you see somebody inside dressed like that and you're like how come the white person got in and they got on a hat and a t-shirt and you're telling me no hats and no t-shirts
Starting point is 00:44:35 correct cause they paid the bouncer $200 that's another thing they paid the bouncer or they know somebody that owns the club that happens all the time too alright well that is your front page news They paid the bouncer or they know somebody that owns the club. That happens all the time, too, you know. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:44:53 800-585-1051. Let's talk about funeral etiquette. Now, we were talking about takeoff funeral that happened Friday, and the family asked, said, hey, we'll open this up to the public. We want his fans to come and celebrate in his life transitioning. And we just asked, please no pictures, please no video. Y'all had one job. There's one job. One request.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Y'all didn't follow that. Well, people didn't, and people posted video. People posted pictures. People posted so many different things. And not only that, all the social media, the blog sites, you know, news, they reposted all of it. So what's etiquette? It's so funny, they reposted and only to say,
Starting point is 00:45:31 and the family asked not to not, not, not for y'all, the family asked for y'all not to take pictures and videos. And it's like some of these blogs tried to scold people while still posting the video. That made no sense. 800-585-1051. Let's talk funeral etiquette. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:51:20 The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about funeral etiquette.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Now, this comes from Takeoff's funeral, who was laid to rest on Friday. The family opened up his funeral to fans and the public so, you know, they can actually see him. The last time seeing him, I would say. So they asked, please, no video, no pictures. And, of course, people didn't listen. There's pictures all over the place. There's video. There's all types of things all over the place. So we're asking, what is funeral etiquette?
Starting point is 00:52:08 All right. Let's start with you. What are your thoughts? I mean, you know, for in general, for funerals. Sure. It's hard to say. I think it depends on, you know, whose funeral it is and what their wishes are. I do think it's tacky to like post things. Sometimes if it's like a program that gets distributed, you could post that, you know, if you want other people that maybe didn't get a chance to go to it to be able to see it. I've seen people do things like take a picture of the, you know, the body or take a selfie or things like that. I feel like that's weird, you know. But a funeral is supposed to be a celebration of somebody's life, too. So I just think it depends on the family and the funeral that you're at.
Starting point is 00:52:47 But I think taking pictures of the body or selfies with the body and things like that. No. Yeah, I agree with you. Well, first of all, I just don't like to attend funerals. It's just me. I just don't like to see the last time I see the person in that way. That is just me. I've seen, you know, family members take pictures. I don't I just don't like to that to be in my mind is the me i've seen you know family members take pictures i don't i just don't like to that to be in my mind it's the last time i've seen the person but if the family says something i think people should respect it you know i mean i think if they say no videos no
Starting point is 00:53:14 pictures take no videos and no pictures if you want to talk about it how somebody made you feel or how sad it was i think that's fine but if they just ask no pictures no video i just say you just follow what they say charlamagne yeah i don't go to funerals so i don't know what funeral etiquette is i don't like funerals i'm not going to mind if i can help it but uh to put to both of y'all point you know here's the thing if you are anywhere and someone asks you not to take pictures and videos and you still take pictures and videos you're an a-hole but especially at a funeral okay if a person asks you not to take pictures and videos at a funeral and you still take pictures and videos you're an a-hole but especially at a funeral okay if a person asked you not to take pictures and videos at a funeral and you still take pictures and videos you're an a-hole and all these folks
Starting point is 00:53:51 who went to take off funeral and did that you are selfish ego-driven a-holes because you cared more about your social media than you did take off that funeral was not about you it was about take off if you want a funeral that's about you then die yeah and and i would also say it's you know even when i've seen social media posting the clips and and you know uh some of the websites posting clips i just thought it was disrespectful because like charlamagne said earlier that the first thing that they say is the family asked no videos to go out and then they show a video it just didn't make any sense i was just confused because i didn't know i saw saw some websites like Entertainment Tonight posting it live. I didn't know if it was streaming or if they did some type of something for people to see.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I'm not sure. But I did see that. So I don't know what that was. I don't know if they did something where people could watch if they couldn't go. Because I know they did open it up to the public. I didn't see no official clips anywhere. All I saw was them say that they didn't want nobody to take pictures and videos
Starting point is 00:54:48 and then you started seeing pictures and videos leak and blogs started posting them and all you saw in the comments was people saying didn't they tell y'all not to take pictures and videos? It's like, damn, y'all can't follow that one simple request from the family? Alright, well let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:55:03 This is Keisha from Detroit. Hey, Keisha from the D. What up, though? What up, though? What's going on? How you feeling? What's your thoughts on funeral etiquette? I just think that nowadays people are not respectful
Starting point is 00:55:16 of anybody's requests, even when it comes to funerals. People post a picture or a video or anything, even when asked not to, especially if it's a famous person. They want to be the first one to post when it comes to blogs or even individuals. They want to be the first person. Anything for attention, anything for a like, and it's really disgusting to say the least.
Starting point is 00:55:37 The morals and values that our forefathers had, they don't have them anymore. It's like everything is for attention. So it's just a really disgusting way of life that's one all right now I agree all right thank you mama hello who's this hey Bianca we calling from okay what's your thoughts on food or etiquette etiquette I do respect your position in it but I also feel like a lot of, like, with funeral etiquette, I do respect y'all positioning it. But I also feel like when you famous, that's a price of fame. Like, these people live their lives in the mind. Like, you get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:56:11 And it's people that want to know. And in response to Charlamagne saying that, if sites out here or these same blogs is bashing these people for posting it, y'all just reprinted it and you bashing them. Like, we still heard a clip on the funeral that you got. Oh, I agree. I didn't think we should have played the clips either. I said that.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Yeah, that's what we said. I don't know if you heard us. It was nowhere near this outrage when it was Michael Jackson's funeral. Like, they asked the same thing, and nobody respected that. Like, nope. That's not true because Michael Jackson's funeral was on TV, so you a damn lie. And if the family did say.
Starting point is 00:56:47 The family was also out asking for privacy. I'll give that a shot of respect. Michael Jackson's funeral was on TV, ma'am. Exactly. And that's what I'm saying because he's a public figure. It's saying everybody. But Takeoff's funeral wasn't on TV. Takeoff's family asked people not to take pictures and videos.
Starting point is 00:57:06 That was a specific request. And they also asked people to the public. When you go to an establishment and they ask you not to do something, when you go to these comedy shows and they don't want, they make sure that they regulate that there are no pictures being taken. There is no way that that can be leaked. So you think they should have took the people's phones is what you're saying. And by the way, I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:57:25 If it was my family member, and I'm telling you that I want you to respect the fact that I don't want no pictures taken, I'm going to make sure that that's in place so that nobody can take pictures. I'm not risking that. Yeah, that's right. Because we know n****s do not listen. Yeah, they should have had those pouches that you could put the phones in, you know, because I think you expect that when you say that and you open up this you know to the public where
Starting point is 00:57:48 they can come to the arena you know how people are. Yeah you know how people are that doesn't make it right though. It's a shame we can't At the same time the same way that these families are experiencing these losses are the same way that these fears are we take this hard and some of us aren't able to be there or
Starting point is 00:58:03 it's almost impossible for us all to be there. I don't feel like there's a disrespect there. I feel like there is an etiquette, you know, barrier, I guess. But, again, when you open it to the public, that's what it is. It's public. It's a shame we can't expect people to listen. It's a shame grown people can't follow rules. It's a shame.
Starting point is 00:58:23 We're saying, yeah, because we let them in. They said, no, the family asked that. That's what the family asked. We shouldn't have to take somebody's phone. We're adults. We shouldn't have to. If they say, hey, I'm opening this up to the public because I want you to share in the ceremony. The only thing that we ask is not to take video,
Starting point is 00:58:40 not to take pictures. We're all grown. It's not like a five-year-old kid that's doing it. It should be like, it's grown, don't do it. With those thousands of people, most of them who you don't know personally, people aren't respectful. And the sense of entitlement people have, right? The fact that you say,
Starting point is 00:58:55 well, you should have took our phone if you didn't want us to take pictures. No, I asked you not to. You grown. You don't know how to follow rules. If the white man tell you not to do something, you're going to listen. And not only that, people also got to understand, when a lot of people do these comedy shows, these are comedy shows and things that are planned. Takeoff's death wasn't planned.
Starting point is 00:59:12 They had this funeral set in five days. So they had to put all this together. They wouldn't have had enough time. So they asked you politely, please do not take pictures. Do not take videos. We're grown. And people disrespected. So yeah, I think it was disrespectful regardless if they're a celebrity or not. If people are asked, don't do it.
Starting point is 00:59:28 That's 800-585-1051. Let's talk more about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in.
Starting point is 00:59:39 I know I'm in. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club Topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:59:55 We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about takeoff. It's funerals over the weekend, and we're asking funeral etiquette. What's funeral etiquette? You know, it's family asked not to post any pictures, not to take any videos, and obviously that didn't happen. There's videos and pictures all over the place.
Starting point is 01:00:10 So we're asking what are your thoughts? Hello, who's this? Kyle. Hey, Kyle, what are your thoughts on funeral etiquette? I just think that, man, people, like, as a general, just get so caught up in the fact that, oh, this is Takeoff's funeral, you know, like the celebrity aspect of it. And, like, the family just, they ask, just, please, no videos.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Please, no photos. We want, you know, his fans to be able to celebrate his life. And I guarantee that there were people that heard that and thought to themselves or even said out loud, F that, you know, this is takeoff funeral. I'm about to take a video. I'm going to take a picture just so I can post about it and say how sad it is or say how sorry I am for the family.
Starting point is 01:00:59 But really all that's voided out because you went directly against the family's wishes. Right. Which was two simple things it's it's we got to remember that this is a human being this is a funeral this isn't like an act this isn't a movie this is a real life some people are hurt like you know that are going to take years to get over them losing a family member and we're so concerned about posting a tweet or posting a post on instagram and getting 150 likes from people that you've never met or will meet ever in life you know i agree i agree people forget that he's a human you know i mean yes yes he was a celebrity
Starting point is 01:01:38 yeah yes he was a a platinum artist i'm not sure if they want a grammy but it doesn't matter he's a human at the end of the day, and if the family allowed people to come in and see and just say, hey, my one wish is not to take pictures and videos, people should listen and buy. How about stop letting your ego drive? How about stop being selfish? How about understand that you're at somebody's funeral?
Starting point is 01:01:58 It's not about you or your Facebook or your Instagram or your Twitter. Damn. Right. Hello, who's this? It's Hot Rod from Ohio. Hot Rod, what up, man? What's your thoughts, bro? Man, listen, man. Alright, we understand.
Starting point is 01:02:13 The funeral happened. When you ask black people to not bring phones, you really think they're not going to bring a phone? You not think they're going to get it in the building? Well, they didn't say you couldn't bring a phone. They just asked you not to take pictures or video. Yeah, but then, okay, that's fine. But then the first picture I see is of the city girls, and they posing.
Starting point is 01:02:31 No, that was an official picture from an official photographer at the funeral. They did invite media and press to come and, you know, take pictures, but not to film inside. Yeah, but they said no pictures. They see somebody, but you see somebody take a picture, you're going to take a picture too. But those were official pictures that they put out later, which is just like a comedy show. When you go to a comedy show and they ask you not to post things,
Starting point is 01:02:55 it's because they have their own official photographers, their own official videographers. So when you see something from the comedy show, it's because this is what they want you to see. Oh, okay. I get it now, man. My bad. But I'm just saying, like, dang, y'all see pictures of to see. Oh, okay. I get it now, man. My bad. But I'm just saying, like, dang, y'all see pictures of us already shooting, so everybody
Starting point is 01:03:08 going to shoot some pictures. Yeah, no, they didn't take any shots inside, I believe. It was only outside. All right, okay. I saw some official shots from inside. But they even had the photographer's name listed and everything. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is your girl, Miss Reese,
Starting point is 01:03:25 your favorite plus diva from Georgia. Good morning from Georgia. What's your thoughts? Okay, honestly, I truly feel like, fan or not, you should not show up to anybody's funeral. The only time I would ever show up to somebody's funeral is to be the support of the family.
Starting point is 01:03:42 That's it. If I did not know you personally, don't show up. I'm not also taking no pictures or no videos. So you're saying the fans shouldn't have been there at all anyway. Well, it might come to that, right? I said it might come to that in the future because, I mean, you know, even though, you know, celebrities are public figures and when they pass away, somebody that's of takeoff's magnitude, you want to share that experience with the fans.
Starting point is 01:04:12 It might come to a point where they might not do that anymore. It might just be for the family now. And the fans may miss out because people can't listen. It should be for the family. Even though I was a fan, I'm still hurt, but I'm hurt from a distance. I did not know that man in person, so I'm not going to be in y'all personal space like
Starting point is 01:04:28 that. Well, I think it was a memorial service, not necessarily a funeral. So, I'm sure the family did a private thing as well, but this was something that was, because he had a lot of fans, they want people to feel, you know, if you feel a connection, then they want to make sure that you're able to
Starting point is 01:04:44 come together. I mean, that was that you're able to come together. I mean, that was the family's decision to do that. But they still said no pictures and videos during the memorial service, right? Yeah, it did. But I don't think there's anything wrong with them saying that people can come. Like I said, that's different.
Starting point is 01:04:56 I mean, it was a public general. That's different. Okay, I get that. But still, no pictures and videos if that's what they wanted. I agree. I mean, people should have been able to follow that simple rule,
Starting point is 01:05:05 but not nowadays because everybody's so selfish and everybody got, you know, their own feed that they got to feed. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is learn how to follow directions. It's amazing to me how y'all are coming up with excuses to do what someone asked you not to do. That's really the moral of the story, right?
Starting point is 01:05:24 They asked you not to take pictures and videos, but you know, everybody's so selfish and ego-driven nowadays that they care more about their social media than respecting a grieving family's wishes. Man, boy. All right, well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Dave Chappelle hosting SNL. We'll give you some...

It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:13:35 All right, Dave Chappelle, third time hosting Saturday Night Live, and his opening monologue has gotten plenty of attention. The day that, the next day on Sunday after it aired, I was looking at the Saturday Night Live YouTube page, and I saw it was already at like 3.5 million views in less than 24 hours. Okay. And so one of the things that he addressed is his friend, Kanye West. Here's what he had to say.
Starting point is 01:13:57 When he woke up, he went on Drink Champs again. This time, he was on one. He was mad about something. He said, I can say anti-Semiticic things and Adidas can't drop me now what Adidas dropped that immediately ironically Adidas was founded by Nazis and they were offended I guess the students have passed the teacher it's a big deal he had broken the show business rules this is a rule you know the rules of perception if if they're black then it's a gang if they're italian it's a mob but if they're jewish it's a coincidence and he should never speak about it i ain't got so much trouble kairi got in trouble the one thing people forget when they say adidas was founded by
Starting point is 01:14:45 Nazis is that Germany also went through denazification Google denazification if you don't know what denazification is all right in addition to that he talked some more about Kanye West and Kanye's comments speaking on Jewish people and early in my career I learned that there are two words in the English language that you should never say together in sequence and those words are the and juice Do good after they said that He's got into some scrapes before normally when he needs a trouble. I pull up pull up immediately this time I was like, you know what?
Starting point is 01:15:22 Vaguely I remembered started with started with a tweet, strange tweet. It was like, I'm feeling a little sleepy. I'm going to get me some rest. But when I wake up, I'm going to go DEFCON 3 on the Jews. And then he just went to bed. I was up all night worried. What is he going to do to the Jews? All right.
Starting point is 01:15:45 And I saw some websites having issues with this, but I saw a lot more people saying, and I saw people saying, I'm Jewish, and I thought this was very funny and not anti-Semitic at all. Yeah, I saw the ADL. The ADL is upset about Dave's monologue. And, you know, like you said, some folks are saying he's normalizing anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 01:16:03 I believe the ADL should use this opportunity to teach because at this point, this isn't getting us anywhere. Because I've learned a lot about what is considered to be anti-Semitic over the last couple of years. But I personally didn't hear anything that would be considered anti-Semitic in Dave's monologue. So I think the ADL should teach folks what's considered anti-Semitic instead of just coming out and labeling people anti-semitic because that is a very dangerous label and i think anybody who says that you know dave's monologue is normalizing anti-semitism use these moments as opportunities to teach because clearly there's a whole lot of people who don't even know what being anti-semitic is because i i i know yeah i know that wasn't dave's intention because dave literally started the monologue off denouncing anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 01:16:48 So if they're telling me now that, you know, his monologue normalized the anti-Semitism, I would like to be taught what exactly in that was anti-Semitic so people don't make that mistake again. That's what I think should happen. All right. In addition to that, let's skip down to him talking about Donald Trump. Dave Chappelle has some things to say about why do people love Donald Trump so much? How did all that happen? I'm watching the news now. They're declaring the end of the Trump era. Now, OK, I can see how in New York you might believe this is the end of his era. I'm just being honest with you. I live in Ohio amongst the poor whites. A lot of
Starting point is 01:17:20 you don't understand why Trump was so popular, but I get it. He's very loved. And the reason he's loved is because people in Ohio have never seen somebody like him. He's what I call an honest liar. I've never seen a white male billionaire screaming at the top of his lungs, this whole system is rigged. And the moderator said, well, Mr. Trump, if in fact the system is rigged, what would be your evidence? He said, I know the system is rigged because I use it. I said, God damn.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Listen, I loved Dave's views on politics. The second half of the monologue was the best part to me. He was breaking down the midterms and why people like Trump and stuff like that. Here's more about what he had to say about Trump and Trump's taxes when Hillary Clinton was like, he didn't pay his taxes. And then Hillary Clinton tried to punch him in the taxes.
Starting point is 01:18:16 She said, this man doesn't pay his taxes. He shot right back. That makes me smart. And then he said, if you want me to pay my taxes, change the tax code but i know you won't because your friends and your donors enjoy the same tax breaks that i do and with that my friends a star was born listen do you remember i remember when he did that and I remember us being on air saying, he's right. Yes. I feel him. I feel him.
Starting point is 01:18:48 I remember that. I remember that verbatim. And then he spoke on Hershel Walker, and we've been talking about this runoff that is going to be happening on December 6th between Hershel Walker and Raphael Warnock. Here's what he had to say about Hershel Walker. Now the midterms are over, and it's crazy climate. And I got to tell you, I feel like this midterm, like all of humanity depends on it. And it's an ominous sign.
Starting point is 01:19:13 The most ominous sign of midterms, I believe, would be Hershel Walker. I don't want to speak badly of him because he's black. But I have to admit, he's observably stupid. Even when he's not talking, his mouth be open a little bit like before it makes a move on tic-tac-toe the Davis hilarious once again giving her so walking too much credit man it's the Republican Party they know as long as whoever they put in that seat it could literally be a fish. It could be Charlie the Tuna running for Senate in
Starting point is 01:19:48 Georgia, and if he had a chance to win and could win that seat, they would put him there because they know Charlie the Tuna going to do what the rest of the Republican Party says to do. You know, but it's still important for everybody in Georgia to go out and vote as well so that, you know, you're not relying on like a Joe Manchin to
Starting point is 01:20:03 make a decision on what's going to happen in Congress. All right, now let's talk about Fat Joe. He's talking about inflation at the supermarket. He said his wife is upset with the economy because everybody's doing terrible out here and we have more friends that are middle class to poor than we have rich friends. This was on Yahoo Finance Presents.
Starting point is 01:20:24 He said, you know, my wife came home from the supermarket. She had one bag and it was $350, one bag of groceries. And so there is a 7.7% increase over last year. And the cost of groceries is up also by 12.4% compared to prior to that as well. So that is something that, you know, the holidays are coming out and we got to think about this. Yeah, I've been is something that, you know, the holidays are coming out. We got to think about this right now. Yeah, I've been saying that for, you know, the last couple of months, the price of orange juice shot up crazy,
Starting point is 01:20:51 and the price of milk and formula, and the price of fruit shot up crazy. The price of eggs, the price of milk. It's very expensive. And, of course, gas. The price of whiting's been high for about a year and a half, man. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports.

Starting point is 01:22:49 about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today's story is no exception, okay? Matthew was arrested last week for making fraudulent requests for tax refunds, something that I'm sure a lot of people have done, okay? Don't you try to sink down in your seat now, okay?
Starting point is 01:23:12 All right? I don't know why, though, y'all still think y'all can play with the IRS. All right, y'all do realize the IRS is undefeated, right? Okay? The IRS is more undefeated than the Internet. Perfect record. Undisputed, undefeated champion of the world in every weight class. And it's not even close. But Matthew Meredith decided to do what so many before him have attempted to do and failed miserably. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:38 He tried to get over on the IRS, but I will give Matthew some credit. Matthew decided to shoot for the stars. You hear me? I mean, if you're going to do it, you might as well do it big because when you get caught, and you're going to get caught, you're going to prison. So why not? Now, what did Matthew do?
Starting point is 01:23:57 Well, according to the indictment, he submitted five claims for a tax refund between August 2019 and February 2020. In total, those claims exceeded. How much do you think they exceeded, Envy? Just take a wild guess. How much do you think his fraudulent tax claims exceeded? I have no clue. Just throw a number out there.

Starting point is 01:25:00 Okay. In fraudulent tax claims. $170 million. Okay. okay and fraudulent tax claims 170 okay authorities say meredith falsified his income and withholdings in each of the claims on november 23rd 2019 the irs issued meredith a check for a little over 6.3 million dollars for his first submitted claim but that wasn't enough for meredith no he couldn't leave well enough alone. The next day he filed a second fraudulent tax claim, this time seeking $4 million. Okay, now listen.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Now listen to this, right? Authorities say Meredith, what do you think he used the money for? What do you think his first purchase was? Car or jewelry? Car or jewelry. What do you say, Yee? I would say a car.
Starting point is 01:25:56 A car or jewelry. A car was his second purchase. His first purchase, he did have the wherewithal to go buy a house. Okay, so from the initial refund, he went and purchased a 6,500 square foot waterfront mansion in St. Petersburg. He spent like 2.6 million for that. Then the indictment alleges that Matthew purchased six luxury Mercedes Benz vehicles with a total
Starting point is 01:26:18 value of $843,000. Now, hold up. Wait a minute. Y'all thought he was finished. Okay. Matthew's tax fraud scheme occurred while he was under supervised release from a 2016 federal conviction on drug-related charges. Oh, Matthew woke up one day without an F to give. Okay. And now he is being charged with making false claims against the government, theft of government property, and money laundering.
Starting point is 01:26:46 If he is convicted on all counts, which he will be, Matthew could face up to 75 years in federal prison. He also would have to return the money and forfeit the house and vehicles. Let me tell you something, man. The IRS has to be doing stuff like this to be funny. All right, you're not going to tell me that it's not someone reading these requests laughing their ass off and saying hey man just give him the money let's see what he does with it all right they know y'all on bs but they just want to see what y'all gonna do if they grant you this request okay matthew probably had hate me now by naz playing soon as he purchased

Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club Now if you just joined us Charlemagne gave donkey the day to who Oh man a brother named Matthew Meredith man Matthew Meredith is 39 Years old he's from St. Petersburg Florida And boy when I say he jumped out the

Starting point is 01:31:01 No, I've never been that person. I mean, like, I've never been the person to make fraudulent tax claims just because I know that you can't play with the IRS. I've seen, I'm the type of person that's, you know how they say smart people learn from their own mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Why would I play with an institution that has historically shown me they don't play? Correct.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Yeah, I feel like I overpay my taxes. I'd be like, I can't write this off. My accountant's like, no, you cannot. Like, you know, things I've heard other people write off. I'm like, why can't I write this off? But I'd rather be safe than sorry. And I don't believe in stealing. Like, that's just stealing.
Starting point is 01:31:38 I don't want nothing that's not mine. I'm not doing that. Well, I wouldn't say it's stealing. Yeah. Because it's your money. They take a percentage. But I'm happy. Damn lie. It's stealing. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's stealing. Because it's your money. They take a percentage. I'm not a damn liar. It's stealing.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Yeah, but sometimes you don't know what you can and can't write off. There's definitely some things that are borderline. You might be like, can I write clothes off? Well, if you're using it for TV appearances. But some accountants might tell you you can't write that off. And tax codes change all the time. So sometimes you're not sure what used to be able to be written off can't be written off anymore.
Starting point is 01:32:07 I'm not playing this game with y'all. That's why we go to experts. If your claim exceeds $170 million. Well, I mean that's next level. That's ridiculous. If you ain't make nowhere near over $200 million, if you ain't make that kind of money, you know you stealing.

And just so y'all know, she's not going to be arguing with y'all online. She's going to put it in the music. She was on stage at the Teen Vogue Summit. And here's what she said.
Starting point is 01:47:19 So I do have a song called No Reception. And it's like my icy girl. It's like my pretty freestyle. But it's a freestyle just getting off everything that's been in the media for this past year. Because it's like for me, I'm not going to argue with you online. And I'm not going to address no bulls**t online. Like sometimes I'll be looking at stuff and I'll be like, y'all can't be serious. Like I can't be serious.
Starting point is 01:47:46 No, sometimes it's just so outrageous. It's just like, damn, I'm not. It's just like, y'all can't be making this stuff up. But since y'all want to, I'm finna address it in the music. I mean, I think that's the best bet to address it on the song. I mean, y'all have free content. Make Instagram pop and Twitter pop and everybody else pop. Might as well make a song. I mean, I'll just make some money off it. Y'all have free content and make Instagram pop and Twitter pop
Starting point is 01:48:06 and everybody else pop. Might as well make a song. Now, she had earlier said that she's going to be putting out two albums before the end of the year. She told Rolling Stone that the single life
Starting point is 01:48:14 and Pretty Bitch Music will be coming pretty soon. Okay. All right, 50 Cent, he's going to be hosting the Drew Barrymore show, so you can watch that today. Apparently, she got COVID,
Starting point is 01:48:24 so he's taking over. And he's going to be hosting today's November 14th, right? Yes. Alright, 50 said, you gotta catch the Drew Barrymore show. Drew caught COVID, so I had to take over. This was crazy. You gotta see this. So that'll be fun to see him doing daytime
Starting point is 01:48:40 television. Alrighty, also with Choling Diddy over the weekend. There were rumors that him and Young Miami broke up. And I don't know if that's true or not, but we did see she just posted a whole bunch of roses all over her house.
Starting point is 01:48:56 And when I say it's a lot of roses, I saw a lot of women reposting the roses. I don't know if that's like putting in the atmosphere because you want that, but yes. So maybe they had a little argument and got back together. But people will be following their social medias to see what's going on. All right. Now, Damon Dash, he was hosting a Q&A.
Starting point is 01:49:16 And that is for his new movie, a screening for his new movie, Prince of Detroit. And one of the audience members asked him about what he thinks about Ye and all of the controversy. Here's how Damon Das responded to that. Yeah, I'm in contact with him. It's draining. But, you know, he's bipolar. And people forget that.
Starting point is 01:49:36 I don't care how rich you are. When you have a chemical imbalance, you're going to say some crazy things. Anybody know somebody bipolar? You don't put them in front of a camera. You put them in the house or the hospital. But what happens with him? Because you say the most outlandish things. Anybody know somebody bipolar? You don't put him in front of a camera. You put him in a house at a hospital. But what happens with him? Because you say the most outlandish things, you know, when you're triggered and there's a chemical imbalance. And also when you're tired, it's like being drunk. But you know, I know him. Someone bipolar with a billion and a whole bunch of people that don't care. It's not a good, it's not a good formula. You know, people should be
Starting point is 01:50:03 more worried about his health than worried about what he says. Why do you listen to somebody bipolar if they tell you they bipolar? Before he says stuff that's like, you know, triggering, he premises it like I'm tired. But trust me, I talk to him. All right. Dave's not wrong, you know, but you can't help someone until they want to get help. Like, you know, Kanye won't even accept that, you know, something is wrong. He keeps saying that, you know, he's been wrongly diagnosed with bipolar, but also there's a lot of people who are bipolar
Starting point is 01:50:30 who don't say the same things that Kanye is saying. So, but I think it's different in every case because there's definitely people who are bipolar and don't want to take their medication and feel like they were wrongly diagnosed. So I'm sure in every situation is different and it's hard to help somebody when they won't even acknowledge that they need help all right now her loss the collaborative album with Drake and 21 Savage let's talk about numbers per billboard it got a four hundred and four thousand equivalent album units okay so it's the fourth largest streaming week of all time for any album, by the way.
Starting point is 01:51:05 So there were 513.56 million on-demand streams for that album. So congratulations to them. Yeah, congratulations to them. That album was dope, too. All right, Nas. His house got burglarized and multiple items were stolen. He does, of course, have a ring camera. And apparently during the robbery, was in new york for an
Starting point is 01:51:25 album release party nobody else was at the house and robbers allegedly made their way by smashing a rear door for entry and so uh he wasn't aware of the break-in until the men were in the process of leaving the property authorities were then called but by the time they got there the guys were already gone it's unclear what they made off with but reports claim they tore the place apart and left with at least two bags worth of items. So he was still out of town and wasn't able to do a proper inventory yet. I'm confused, right?
Starting point is 01:51:52 I thought when you have alarm on your house, when they break the window, the alarm automatically goes off. Is it LA where it takes too long for the police to get to the house, or is it possible he didn't have the alarm on the house? Yeah, I'm not sure. I know the ring is a camera,
Starting point is 01:52:03 and sometimes you can set up an alarm with the ring, but the camera might just show you that this is what's happening. And so I don't know what happened with his alarm, but authorities were called after he saw the video, but by the time he saw it, they were already leaving. All right, and Netflix is selling Tampa has been canceled after one season.
Starting point is 01:52:21 The cast is saying it's because of racism. They said, we weren't given a second chance possibly because of what we represented as minority women. Cast member Juana Colbert thinks that's the reason. And so she said when they show us black women in a different light, when we're bickering, fighting and name calling, they get a season two and season three. But that's not what we were displaying. I feel like we weren't given a second chance possibly because of what we represented as minority women. Well, that's what they did show on it. They did show bickering and beefing
Starting point is 01:52:47 and fighting. That's what I was, my whole concern was before. I felt like they should have showed, you know, those women work hard. They sell a lot of houses. I felt like they should have showed more of that side of it, like every other selling thing that they do, and they didn't. That's why I was always upset with it. So I just hope a company like a Revolt, like a BET, or even
Starting point is 01:53:04 OWN, you know, picks that show up and shows those women in the light that they should be shown. Yeah, there is always drama. There's always problems, but those women are real estate agents. They sell houses. So I would love to see that more. Revolt got the budget for that show. OWN maybe. Now, Juana also said the production
Starting point is 01:53:19 company seemed to be out of touch with shows centered around African-American women. She said the expectation for them to be ready to film within an hour were unrealistic. You know, they she said our hair in general just takes longer to do. And she said, I think with the all white cast members of Selling Sunset handing off a key to all women, black cast members in Tampa kind of set us up for misrepresentation and comparison and really a competition. I think from the get go, we were set up a little bit at a disadvantage.
Starting point is 01:53:46 What were the ratings like? Like, can we start there before we go to racism and everything else? What were the ratings? Netflix has not commented on what the reason is at this point. So Netflix has yet to share an official reason. I mean, that could be a blessing. Like I said, it could be another network that picks it up and shows them in a better light. It shows them actually selling houses and
Starting point is 01:54:07 doing the things that they really do every day. So it could be a blessing for them. I didn't even know the show was on Netflix. Selling Tampa is the only show in their selling category of, you know, all the selling shows. Selling Tampa was the only one with an all-black cast. All those selling shows are on
Starting point is 01:54:24 Netflix? Yes. Oh, okay. Yes. Alright, well that is your rumor reports. Alright. Amber, you gonna mix? Yes, that's right. Shout to Boosie. Today is Boosie Badass' birthday, so happy birthday to Boosie, and we're gonna start the mix off like that. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
