Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that
arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zaka Stan. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best, and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to
On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

Hey, y'all.
Niminy here. I'm the host
of a brand new history podcast for kids
and families called Historical
Records.
Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates,
and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
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.
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.

The Gus Bins. As Jess Hilarious calls us, the Gus Bins. Absolutely. That sounds disgusting, by the way. I just want you to know that. I want to start off with a salute to my mother. Today's
my mom's birthday. Hey, drop on a clue bomb for Mama Envy. Today is Mom Duke's birthday. I know
she watches every morning on BET, so happy birthday, Mama. You bought her something the other
day. What'd you say you bought her? Some wood or something? No, I didn't say I bought her some wood
the other day. Yes, you did. No, we were talking about the most expensive thing that you bought
somebody. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I re-hardwooded her whole house a year ago or two years ago.
That ain't how you said it when you said it, but yeah, okay.
But that's what I said.
I bought her some wood.
You bought her some wood.
Because your pops was having a little problem.
No, I didn't say that.
I said we hardwooded her house.
So, shout salute to Mom Dukes and Pop Dukes.
Happy birthday.
How old is she?
She is getting up to an age.
Okay.
I think it's 80.
I want to say 80 or 79.
I don't necessarily remember.
That is a blessing.
Please, God, give me 80 years.
Please.
Yeah.
And they're still healthy.
They're still kicking.
They're still running around.
They're still going to the casino.
They're still watching their grandbabies.
They're still everything.
So good morning, Mom and Dad.
I was having that conversation.
I was talking to my good sister, Angela Rye, last night.
We were talking about all types of stuff.
And I was saying how, like, okay, I'll be 45 this year, right?
And if the average age is 74, 75 lifespan, we only got about 30 summers left.
Yes.
So, we ain't got time to be playing.
No.
She was like, no, no, no.
You're above average. You're above average.
You work out. You take care of yourself.
So you're going to be here to see the
80s, the 90s. I'm like,
God willing. God willing. Please. I'll take it.
There are a lot of healthy people that didn't make it over that
man.
That number.
So definitely,
as Charlemagne and I always say, make sure you go to
the doctor. Make sure you try to do everything you possibly
can. I know everybody can't eat healthy every day.
Man.
You know, you can't do the healthy alternatives every day.
But do as much as you can.
That's right.
Because it can put some years to your life.
And age is a blessing.
All of y'all stop lying about your age.
All right?
Stop wanting to tell people your age.
I tell people my age proudly.
Because I am happy to be here.
Absolutely.
All right?
I'll be 45.
I was born in 1978. I'll be 45. I was born in 1978.
I'll be 45 on June 29th.
It's my Trump year.
A couple of days.
A couple of days.
It's my Trump year, baby.
So why you got to say the Trump year?
It can't be the Jordan.
Would a Jordan wear the 4.5?
No, no, no.
That was a good era for Jordan.
See?
He was the owner of a...
He was playing for a team he owned during that era.
That's right, yeah.
Oh, no, then he came back.
No, I'm lying.
He came back wearing the 4.5.
Came back wearing the 4.5.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, maybe he didn't want to take the 2.3 down from the rafters at the time.
Man, do I want to be 4.5 Jordan or do I want my Trumpier?
But the 4.5 Jordan wasn't the 23 Jordan. It was like an off-brand.
It was cool. That's what I'm saying. I think I want the Trumpier. I don't know.
Yo, shut up, man.
I might do that just to piss people off.
Oh my goodness.
Just to say that. Just to get a rise out of people.
All right.
You know, like to get a good rise out of people.
Get a good rise out of people.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Tez and Figaro, good morning.
Good morning, Guzman's.
Charlamagne and Envy.
That's right.
The hood whisperer, Tez and Figaro.
All right.
Well, let's start off with some sports right away.
Game one of the NBA finals is tonight.
Miami Heat versus Denver Nuggets, 8.30 p.m.
And they're saying Tyler Hero will be returning for game three of this final.
It's interesting, right?
Because in my mind and on paper, I say the Denver Nuggets has sweeped the Miami Heat.
But the Miami Heat seem like they're playing like a team of destiny.
Correct.
You know what I mean?
And they have a will to win.
That is true.
That, you know, is very, very unique.
And when you have that will to win, you can surprise them.
Nothing can stop you.
So I'm saying all that to say I have no idea who's going to win this series.
My mind and logic says the Nuggets should sweep the heat.
But we'll see.
All right. Well, let's start with the House passing a bill to raise heat. Correct. But we'll see. All right.
Well, let's start with the House passing a bill to raise the debt ceiling.
What does that mean, Tess?
Yes.
Last night, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill to suspend the debt ceiling,
overcoming vocal opposition from conservative and liberal lawmakers
and bringing the country one step closer to avoiding an economic default ahead of last week's deadline now the legislation which was crafted through negotiations between president biden and
republican speaker kevin mccarthy cleared the chamber in a bipartisan 314 to 117 vote and now
heads to the senate now to be clear just so everyone understands if the debt ceiling did not
pass it would have slashed government services payments to 67 million social
security beneficiaries could have been halted uh one week of default alone could have caused
1 million jobs to be lost the employment rate would have jumped to about five percent higher
interest rates market panic political instability even though we have more than enough of that and
other long-term effects so this was a pretty big deal so what did they decide to do
about them food stamp benefits that they ain't okay everybody's still getting their food stamps
right yes that was one of the the big things that was on the table that they went back and forth
about and just uh to make it really simple and in short uh before the current law uh requires
able-bodied adults this is really important able-bodied adults between the age of 18 and 49 without dependents, just to be clear, without dependents to work or attend training for
at least 80 hours a month if they want to receive their food stamps more than three months. So that
has now changed to age 54. So the only change has been from going from 49 to 54 for able-bodied
adults that do not have dependents.
Now, Democrats compromised in order to raise that age up.
They said, well, we want to make sure that veterans, homeless people,
and young people aging out of foster care will be excluded from work requirements.
Now, that negotiation actually cost more over time, so Republicans are upset about that
because they said, you know, you did all of that and it kind of backfired.
But Speaker McCarthy said that, he said he said come on let me in one year and you'll see that uh we will save more money over time because people will be working and of course
democrats uh disagree with that and say that work requirements doesn't really make a difference but
that was what was really holding this bill up at this point we all need food stamps remember when
they used to say uh cooking at home saves you money yeah that means nothing no nothing at all in certain you know in certain cases when
if you order uber eats it's a lot cheaper because uber eats now has those deals where it's two for
one yeah so you can order a platter of like you know like we always order from this caribbean
spot this jamaican food spot where you know you can get a jerk chicken oxtail and they give you
another one for oxtail 70 a pound easily but it's very expensive out there and like you said even like
you know my daughter who goes to college she was like yo food is so expensive she was like it's
it's it's easy to just go get a slice of pizza so it's good that uh that ceiling got raised also
tez i remember uh progressives were acting like they were not sure if they would vote for the
bill so did they right remember we talked about that and if they would vote for the bill. So did they?
Right. Remember, we talked about that.
And they did put on the record that this is a nightmare nightmare for progressives because it restricts non-defense spending. A green green lights, a fossil fuel project.
It ends the pause on student loan payments.
And again, the work requirements that they do not disagree with.
But they did have enough votes for it to pass uh pass with democrats and republicans but a few uh progressives did go on the record to vote no
i'll just name a few uh-huh representative jamal bowen who we obviously interviewed here on the
breakfast club representative cory bush representative barbara lee representative
jayapal they all and aoc all voted no it's a list that voted no but i just you know those are a few
that most of our listeners recognize.
Hey, I respect it because, you know, they held the line.
You know, I thought they was going to fall in line.
They proved me different.
They proved me.
They proved otherwise.
Yeah.
Respect to them.
All right.
We'll see what it looks like when it goes to the Senate.
And that is front page news.
Now, Tez, we'll see in a couple of minutes.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.
Again, 800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Ray, Ray, Ray.
Yo, Charlemagne.
Izzy, what up?
Are we live?
This is your time to get it off your chest i got an
indoor pool an outdoor pool we want to hear from you on the breakfast club we can get on the phone
right now he'll tell you what it is hello who's this hello it's james calling from north carolina
james from north carolina get it off your Yeah, I wanted to address that whole issue about why black men
aren't donating their sperm
that much.
I'm thinking that
there's a stigma behind that, man.
You know, for years,
black men have been labeled
as deadbeat fathers
or not in their children's lives.
And so probably
and subconsciously
in the black community though
men don't want to donate sperm so that they'll have a offspring out there that doesn't know who
they are i mean because if you think about it uh as a as a group you know black folks as a group we
uh are desperate to find out what country from continental Africa we're from and stuff, you know?
That's not a bad theory.
That's not a bad theory.
I thought you was going to say folks don't want to be cloned and stuff because, you know,
it's the same reason people don't be wanting to, we don't be wanting to give up our DNA sometimes.
I mean, what he said is true.
Like, because, you know, if you are from, if you come from a sperm donor and you get a little older,
you might want to know who your dad is, you know what I mean?
And you find out who your dad is and your dad might not want to do with you because you know
really your dad you were just a sperm donor you know i bought you who's my daddy i don't know i
paid good money for it though remember they used to call people test tube babies remember robin
test tube babies hello who's this hey this is misha hey turn your radio down listen you need to hear this radio why the hell we Hey, turn your radio down. Listen, you need to hear this radio.
Why the hell we need to hear the radio when we on the radio?
We need to hear you.
Why aren't they playing on the, in the, in the, between the sets,
between y'all's sets, the different world theme song and the Jefferson theme song?
Where you at?
Atlanta.
Oh, you in Atlanta?
Louis V.
Louis V, you need to holla at whoever's producing the show down there,
whoever's running the board.
You're not supposed to be hearing that right now.
Yes, somebody's doing a terrible job.
Somebody messed up.
Louis V.
Please, get him.
By the way, when I was in Orlando, I heard the same thing.
I don't know.
Maybe it's time for AI, y'all,
because clearly whoever they got running the board and doing the producing job
ain't doing their job. Maybe this is where iHeart shaves some money with AI, y'all, because clearly whoever they got running the boards and doing the producing job ain't doing their job.
Maybe this is where iHeart saves some money with AI,
man. This is my first
time ever getting in, so it's a pleasure to talk
to all of y'all. We appreciate you.

I took off last week, but I had a doctor's appointment.
But if I take off, I play a vital part.
So everybody will be scrambled.
So what I did was I decided to help these dudes from home.
I come in the next day, this dude come complaining, talking about, yo, you can't work from home.
You need to be here.
Mind you, the position that I do is remote.
So you want to see my face or something?
Like, what is it?
And you took a day off, though, didn't you?
Because you had a doctor's appointment.
Yeah, I didn't get paid for that.
Nah, you was nice for even helping because you had the day off.
You should have just been chilling and relaxing. They ain't going to give you that.
Exactly. Exactly.
I'm just trying to play my role, keep it pushing.
Joey, just be happy.
Keep pushing from a position
of joy, man.
Nah, man. I'm at peace. I'm good.
I appreciate it, man. You guys have a good one, man.
Thanks for having me. Yes, sir.
Man, I swear that's what I like to hear. That right there,
you can call up here and tell me you got a million dollars.
I'll be like, all right, cool.
But when you call up here and tell me that you're in a position of peace,
oh, man, love to you.
Respect.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up.
Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report.
We got to tell you about Polo G.
Charlamagne gave him donkey today, and he responds.
We'll get to it next.
It's The Breakfast Club on bet the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are
the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk polo g rumor has it rumor rumor has it call
out a name or you gossiping or you chatty thisty. I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the breakfast
club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes.
On the breakfast club.
Now, a couple of days ago, Charlemagne gave
Polo G donkey of the day.
Now, you gave him donkey today because of what, Charlemagne?
Oh, it was a video
Polo posted where he said he was
walking around LA,
you know, all his jewelry on, designer clothes
on with no security.
Yeah, he was on a Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills.
Well...
And it disappointed me because Polo G is one of the smart ones.
Yes.
Yes.
TMZ caught up with him and asked him about that.
And this is what he said.
Hey, so you really don't have any security?
You don't have anyone lurking in the shadows or lurking in the bushes or just making sure you're good?
Nah, I usually pop out with security sometimes, man.
I was just bored.
You were just joking?
Yeah.
Can I ask you about Charlamagne Tha God roasting you, the donkey of the day?
How'd you feel about that?
I'm f***ed with it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
How come?
It's just showing some type of concern, man.
I ain't tripping.
TMZ, I was not roasting Polo G.
I gave that brother a word, and the word is simply, don't test the streets.
As I said in Donkey of the Day, the only reason that disappointed me so much is because polo g
is one of the smart ones and i i expect the idiots to be idiots but i expect more from
polo g and not just because polo g is a smart young man his mama do not play dropping the
clues bomb for station mack yeah and i'll be honest with you like i said that day i never
thought that polo g walked around without security he was trope yeah i didn't think that one bit
yes in station mess luther station she's one of those people who inspires me you know the way she I never thought that Polo G walked around without security. Nah, he was trope. Nah, I didn't think that one bit.
Yeah, and Station, man, salute to Station.
She's one of those people who inspires me,
you know, the way she handles her business,
the way she moves.
So salute to Station, man.
And, you know, after that donkey,
Station let me know she don't play that,
and she spoke to Polo about that video.
And she also incorporates the importance of trained bodyguards in her masterclass
that she teaches. And that's the moral of the story.ards in her masterclass that she teaches.
And that's the moral of the story.
Invest in yourself by protecting yourself because you are your greatest asset.
That's right.
You know?
Now, also, Diddy seems like Diddy is claiming his business partner Diageo neglected his
Deleon tequila label.
Now, Diageo is the brand that has all these liquor companies under it.
So they, if you think about it like this, Diageo is kind of like the distributor.
They're the ones that put it in stores. They're the one that handles marketing.
They're the ones that call it all these that do all these different things for the different brands that they have.
Well, Diddy is saying that Diageo neglected the tequila brand, calling it urban and a black brand.
They say in favor of rival Casamigos after it paid a billion dollars
for the george clooney owned spirit they're saying they're not doing much to help diddy's daily on
now uh diddy said that the spirit's giant sabotaged daily on with uh horrible packaging
that made the product look cheap and also uh didn't give the necessary brand that it did for
a lot of the other stuff right they said and also in 2019 after they said it was a race reason why it wasn't really pushing it now the exec told
um i'm trying to get to it right yeah comb said that uh if it was owned by martha stewart they
believe the brand will be distributed more broadly so his uh complaint is that he feels like they're
not you know pushing it like they push casamigos like they push some of the other brands that they
have and he feels that the reason that they're doing it is because
it's a quote-unquote black brand well why would he have these problems with daily on but not
because that company also uh distributes siroc and you know it seemed like they didn't have no
problem promoting siroc but i never looked at that company as promoting siroc i looked at diddy
as promoting siroc if anything that company had to catch up. And I also find this very interesting because I wonder if, what's the name of the company?
Diageo? Diageo. I wonder if they're really to blame because like you said, that brand also
owns Don Julio and Casamigos and everybody loves Casamigos and Casamigos is huge in black coaches.
So is it Diageo? What is it? Diageo. Is it Diageo? Or is the coaches simply not gravitating towards De Leon?
Tequila.
Well, what I do recognize, and being in the clubs and DJing the clubs and seeing the clubs,
you don't really see the black brands in clubs like that.
You don't see them in the forefront.
Ciroc is.
You see Casamigos.
Ciroc used to be.
Ciroc's not even there as much as it was before.
You think because people fell back from vodka maybe a little bit?
It seems like a lot more people drink tequila now.
People still drink vodka.
They'll do the vodka cranberry, the vodka pineapple, vodka and coke.
But I feel like certain brands get certain placements.
So when I go to the clubs, you'll see Casamigos.
You'll see Don Julio.
You'll see Patron, even with the
hard liquor, the
whatchamacallit, the
D'Ussé and
50s Branson, but you don't
see it like that. You'll see Hennessy first.
You'll see Remy Martin first.
You'll see all those brands first,
but they're black clubs. But those are the more popular
brands. Hennessy and Casamigos,
that's what everybody's drinking right now.
So that's what I'm saying.
I don't even know how Casamigos got so big in black culture.
But I know it wasn't because of George Clooney.
No.
Definitely wasn't because of George Clooney.
I thought it was because of George Clooney.
But the way Diddy pushes Deleon and the way that, you know, Jay was pushing Duse and 50 pushes Branson and even Ace of Spades.
You don't see it as much.
You see Moet crazy.
Now, they are some brothers
that do...
Oh, they're legacy brands, though.
Yeah, but they're legacy brands,
but they're being pushed
by these companies
and you don't see them
giving the same push
to these black brands.
Yeah, I mean,
I feel like Diddy did a great job
promoting Ciroc.
I can't give that
to the distributor
because I ain't never bought
no Ciroc because of Diageo
or Diego.
No, it's not Diageo.
I bought it because of Diddy,
but Deleon, I just...
I don't know.
Well, you don't buy it because of Diageo, but Diageo is the one No, it's Diageo. I bought it because of Diddy. But De Leon, I just, I don't know. Well, you don't buy it because of Diageo.
And I'm a tequila guy.
But Diageo is the one that handles marketing.
Yeah.
They're the reason that you see the commercials.
They're the reason why you see it in front of when you go to the liquor store, when you
see it up front.
All that stuff is paid for.
So when you go to a liquor store and you see certain brands in the front, that's paid for.
I don't think none of that makes me buy alcohol, though.
Like, I buy alcohol because of word of mouth.
Like, I started drinking Casamigos because people around me were drinking Casamigos and i tasted it and it tasted pretty good you know what i mean but that's not my
go-to actually my actually my go-to tequila is casa dragones but that's a whole other
conversation correct especially the reposado amazing yeah no i i agree with you but no when
people walk into a liquor store a lot of times it's product placement when you walk in it's the
first thing you see so you look at that tequila then you look at prices you say all right you
know what i'll just grab this tequila.
I'll just grab this vodka.
Same thing when you go to the club.
If they're giving you
a better rate on a vodka
or tequila,
nine times out of ten people
will take the cheaper rate.
Why?
Because it's seven of us
and we got two bottles.
We want to kind of
keep the cost down
as much as possible
so we're going to go
with the cheaper bottles.
And Casamigos was the first
of its kind too
because if I'm not mistaken,
they sold that for a billion dollars.
Yes, they did.
And I don't think that, I don't think a tequila brand had sold for that much prior to that.
So they kind of set the bar.
Like all of these other tequila brands, like you see Kevin Hart got his tequila brand and LeBron and all of these people.
That's what they're hoping to do, sell it for that type of price point.
But even when you're out and about today and you're just looking around, you'll see Casamigos on a truck.
You'll see it on the side of a truck.
You'll see that, you know, I see it all
the time, the commercial with George Clooney on a motorcycle
when he's driving. I ain't buying no Casamigos because of
George Clooney, though. I've seen the commercial with him in the field
with all the Mexicans out there.
But look at how much you see those commercials. Look how much you see
it on those things. You don't see none of these.
The only time you do see Diddy or you see Kevin Hart
is on Instagram.
And I feel like I just started seeing Casamigos
a lot now because they
promote during the NBA.
NBA Finals as well.
But if you just drive
around, you see it on
everything, on trucks,
on cars, on everything
that you possibly see,
on buses.
I still got to put a lot
of blame on Coach,
though, because y'all
out here making songs
about Casamigos and
all kinds of stuff.
Y'all could be doing
that with Deleon.
City girls do Deleon,
what you mean?
Act bad.
They got a song
called Deleon?
Well, nah,
they on there
on all that song.
She rap her boo stuff
all the time.
But there's a whole song
called Casamigos
unless I was drunk.
But I definitely feel
like I heard a song
called Casamigos.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
I did, right?
I know I ain't tripping.
Sukiyana song, right?
Oh, that's Sukiyana?
Sukiyana song.
Oh, okay.
We got Act Bad
in the system.
Can we get it?
Can we get it? Can we get it?
What's Kiana say?
Vagina Pink, Casamigos Brown or something like that?
No, she doesn't.
What'd she say?
No, she does not say that at all.
Who says?
Whose song is that?
That's a Sexy Red song.
But it is.
Okay.
It is.
Vagina Pink, Casamigos Brown.
No, Booty.
Oh, Booty.
Okay, got you.
Yes.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
We got Diddy's song at back.
We can't play Diddy's song at back. We can't play Diddy Song at back.
We ain't got it. They're pulling it up.
But when we come back, we got front page news and Teslin Figaro is going to be talking to us.
And then when we come back, we want to take your calls.
800-585-1051.
A young man named Joey called this morning.
And he was talking about just being happy in life.
And we want to ask you, what makes you happy?
What brings you joy?
And joy, that was a great, interesting call. being happy in life and we want to ask you what makes you happy what brings you joy and joy that
was a great interesting call because my therapist literally told me yesterday that joy produces more
jealousy and envy than money people uh they they hate to see you happy right so it's not necessarily
the money you make it's not what you have it's the fact that you're happy the fact that you're
with your family and you're happy the fact that you're just happy in life. So we want to know what makes you happy.
Is it your family?
Is it money?
Is it things out there in this world?
Is it music?
What makes you happy?
What puts you in a place of peace?
800-585-1051.
We got the song?
No, we ain't got the song?
All right, we're going to play Top It Out.
We're going to get that song on before we leave.
No, you're not, dude.
Yes, we are.
We're going to find it.
We're going to find it.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tez.
Good morning, Envy and Charlamagne.
Tez Mufigaro is here. You know she helps us out with front page news.
This is The Breakfast Club's resident political correspondent. I saw Mediaite. Mediaite. Smooth to Mediaite, too. Mediaite said the other day they referred to Tez as the breakfast club political correspondent.
I like that.
Oh, that's what's up.
Yeah, I like that.
Let's start off with some quick sports tonight.
All right, game one in the NBA Finals, Miami versus Denver Nuggets, 830.
Who you got, Charlamagne?
I have no idea, man.
In my mind, in my logic, it says the Denver Nuggets should sweep the Miami Heat.
But the Miami Heat, they play like a team of destiny.
Like Jimmy Butler has a will to win that's infectious,
and it just goes throughout that whole organization.
It's a world-class organization.
So I don't know, man.
I don't know.
On paper, the Nuggets should win, right?
But the way that Jimmy Butler and the Heat been playing,
I mean, you just never know.
I don't know.
I really don't. In my mind, I say Nug just never know. I don't know. I really don't.
In my mind, I say Nugget Sweep, but I don't know.
I really don't.
All right.
Well, let's get to the news.
Now, let's talk about this councilwoman out in Jersey that was gunned down.
They arrested somebody, right?
Yeah, I followed this earlier this year, so I'm glad to see the family has some closure.
A 28-year-old Rashad Bynum of Portsmouth, Virginia,
was arrested Tuesday on murder and gun charges
for the death of 30-year-old Sarajevo Councilwoman Eunice Dunford.
Tuesday's announcements came nearly four months
after she was found gunned down in her white SUV
outside her rented townhome
while her 11-year-old daughter heard the shots from inside.
Investigators linked Bynum to the incident
after they traced his travels from his cell phone and his vehicle location.
He was actually a church associate of hers, and she was a pastor,
and so now they're trying to figure out what's going on with that.
Did the police say there was a motive?
Yeah, I was going to say, I was watching this yesterday on the news,
and he was
so easy to catch because all they did was they they seen him running they found his car on camera
and then they followed his easy pass in in phone records so they actually followed him from port
smith to new jersey and then he did the crime and went right back to port smith virginia so it sounds
like it was just an emotional decision he made in that moment. Why? We don't know.
Did the police say it was a motive?
And they found a gun. The gun was still in his
house in Virginia. He didn't plan this out.
Oh, well, yeah.
Obviously, based on his behavior, he did not plan it out.
And they said they have not found a motive.
But they also said that it did not
appear politically motivated. That was one of
the things that caught my attention.
But they did say there was some court records and tax filings that the church not appear politically motivated that was one of the things that caught my attention uh and uh but
they did say there was some court records and tax filings that the church uh was involved in some
landlord tenant disputes uh from 2017 to 2020 now again that's not the motive but that's all the
information you know we have right now yeah it just sounds like it was an emotional decision
like like like he just got overwhelmed with some type of emotion we don't know what that emotion
was and he decided to go project that on this young lady for whatever reason.
And it's a very, very sad situation.
Very sad.
The trauma that her daughter is going to have to deal with for the rest of her life, man.
Definitely send her healing energy.
All right.
Now let's talk about these swan babies in New York.
Swan babies.
Now we're going to be serious with getting through this story, guys. What the hell is swan babies? we're gonna be serious with getting through this story guys what the hell is
swan baby i'm warning you now the village of manalus in upstate new york is mourning the loss
of fay and fay was a swan who was stolen from the town's pond over the weekend along with her four
baby swans uh so rest in peace to fay three teenagers were arrested tuesday on charges
including grand larceny and criminal mischief in connection with the swan napping.
I don't know if you guys knew that that was illegal or not, but the baby swans were recovered.
But officials say that the mama swan was taken to the aunt's house and the aunt prepared it.
I blame high food prices.
Listen, it was Memorial weekend.
You got to put something on the grill.
Chicken, beef, too damn high. You know what I'm saying? Folks are going to eat what they can. listen it was memorial weekend you gotta put something on the grill chicken beef
it's too damn high you know i'm saying folks is gonna eat what they can so they're gonna eat
swan a big ass swan and four baby swans might be pretty tasty i know you from the country i know
you eat gator i know you did i never ate no swan though i never ate no swan i'm just telling you
that just put two and two together here this past weekend was memorial weekend food prices is high
as hell i can't hell. I can't
afford chicken. I can't afford beef, but there's some meat
swimming in this little lake over here. Let's see what this
swan is about. Let's see what this barbecue
swan tastes like.
I'm trying to be serious, but seriously, rest in
peace to Faye. And so
mute swans, just so people know,
it is illegal to hunt swans in New York.
That's why I pulled this story. Why?
Well, it is. It's illegal to hunt swans. I'm sure. Swans are nice little cute creatures. But it gotta be a reason. Why is it illegal to hunt swans in New York. That's why I pulled this story. Well, it is. It's illegal to hunt swans.
I'm sure.
Swans are nice little cute creatures.
But there's got to be a reason.
Why is it illegal to hunt swans?
Well, it's illegal to hunt swans in New York. And not all states, but they do have legal protection in New York since 1946.
And they're listed as protected birds in the environmental conservation law.
And yes, you're right, because I guess they're pretty so anything that has to do with a swan on their nest eggs if they're handled or harmed without authorization
from the DEC that is when you basically can go to jail and and speaking of the taste I went on
the rabbit hole with this I ended up I spent way too much time with this story because I was curious
like what a swan tastes like and so a couple of people said it, a couple of stories or research said that it tastes like duck and goose.
Some people said it was a little fishy.
It had a sour taste.
And so interesting on, I've never had swan.
If they made it illegal to hunt swans back in the day, that means people was eating the hell out from swan.
You hear me?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Somebody this weekend decided I cannot afford chicken and beef and duck and goose so guess what
Swan you on the menu
that's what I get from this story
poor Swanee Pooh
you say that until you taste Faye
you like damn okay I see what's going on here

you know you know how sometimes you have those therapy sessions and after it after you you have
it and you you know you take your download in you can't wait to share some of the things that you
learned yep and you know my therapist told me something yesterday that I thought was so simple. We have so interesting. He said that joy produces more jealousy and envy than money.
He said people can see you rich and they might be jealous of your money.
He said people can see you in a certain position they may want to be in and they can be jealous of that.
People see you successful and they'd be jealous of that.
But he said nothing makes people more jealous and envious than seeing you happy.
Oh, I agree.
When you're in a position of joy.
Like, you ever had somebody say to you, man, what you so happy for?
Yeah.
What you smiling about?
Absolutely.
Because I'm happy.
You know what?
And the craziest thing, I don't think I've been as happy as I've been the last couple of years.
Like, when I say I'm happy, just I enjoy life.
Like, you know, I've been a piñata the last couple of weeks, but I've still been happy because it's like I got my family.
Yesterday when I spoke to you, I was at my kid's game.
My daughter was pitching and she was striking girls out.
She got a double and a triple.
My son is going to college this year.
I got another one graduating.
You're happy.
You know what brings me so much joy?
My family.
Absolutely.
When I say so much joy, I don't care what happened in this world.
When I see my kids, it's like everything is taken away.
That's the other thing my therapist said.
He said, you have a circle of truth, right?
And there's a circle of truth around you.
And things in that circle of truth are what make you happy.
And as long as you wake up every day and that circle of truth is what it is you're gonna always be in a
position of joy and then the brother joy that called up this morning he made me think about
that when he just he was like i'm just happy yeah he was like i'm happy and people be be trying to
disturb my peace you can't disturb my peace i'm not gonna allow you to disturb my peace there is
nothing you can do to remove me from my position of joy nothing i feel the same so let's open up
the phone lines what makes you happy what is joy? What is your position of joy?
We ain't talking about doggy style.
Right.
Okay?
We ain't talking about being on top.
It has nothing to do with sex.
What is your position of joy?
What makes you happy?
That's right.
800-585-1051.
Now, let me ask you a question.
In your circle, right?
Because I'm in your circle, right?
Because I see you every day.
Am I behind you in the circle or on the side of you?
Where am I?
Here you go.
Here you go.
I'm just asking.
You know your position.
You're a bottom.
No, I'm not.
So being that you're a bottom, where does a bottom go?
Now, why do we have to do this?
We shouldn't even have to do this.
I don't want to do this with you today.
I don't want to do this with you today.
I was just asking in the circle.
This is what happens when it's just me and Envy.
When it's just me and Envy, here he go.
He want to look me in the eye.
He want to flirt.
You know what I mean?
I'm not doing that with you.
Okay?
Logan is listening.
All right?
Logan is listening.
Salute to Logan.
What up, Logan?
All right?
800-585-1051.
What brings you joy?
What's your position of joy?
As Charlamagne would say, when you say position, it just makes it...
Anyway.
No, I'm not.
Position of joy.
I'm happy.
Life is good.
Put a smile on your face you
know that's my therapist said to me what they're just talking about a woman right and he said um
he said he was talking about a woman that it was a woman in particular who people like to clown
you know that person's ugly and yada yada and he said yo that person they're not clowning her
looks they're clowning her because she's always smiling it upsets them it infuriates the the unhealed
of trauma that's in them it hurts them to see this person smiling and having joy i promise you
smile all day long be happy all day long and watch how you piss off your haters all right way more
than that fake ass gucci you wearing okay way more than that fake assass Gucci you're wearing. Okay? Way more than that fake-ass Prada hat you got on.
That Prada bucket you're wearing, not even real.
Ain't nobody jealous of that.
But that genuine joy, people be mad about that, boy.
I'm smiling.
Let's talk about it.
800-585-1051.
Let's call this up.
What makes you happy?
What brings you joy?
Let's talk about it.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
I ain't no waitin' there.
I ain't playin'. I ain't playin'. I ain't playin'. I ain't playin'.
That kid don't even deal with that.
Call me.
And your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
This is DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about what makes you happy.
Yes, man. You know, our guy Joey called up this morning and Joey was talking about how he's just happy and, you know, he's in such a positive place.
And that made me feel real good because I had a great therapy session yesterday.
And my therapist said to me that joy produces more jealousy uh and
envy than money does he said you know people might be jealous of your position they might be jealous
of your success they might be jealous of your money but nothing makes them more jealous than
when you are in a position of joy right a smile and i ain't gonna lie the last couple of years
i've been so happy.
And I'll tell you why. It's just, you know, to experience the things that you experience isn't going to sound so morbid.
So many people have been dying and their lives have been cut so short and they've been cut short at a young age.
It's not like they've been 80, 90 years old. I'm talking 30 years old, 40 years old.
You know, so it makes you experience and enjoy life so much more.
So when I say I enjoy my family, I enjoy my wife, I enjoy my kids, I enjoy them so much.
And they make me so happy.
There is no feeling than going to my daughter's baseball game yesterday or going to Logan's Track Me
or even just daddy-daughter date night with Madison or going to their dance stuff.
It just makes me, and I love picking up my kids from school.
I love when they come out and they see you and they run to you
and they give you that hug like no other.
Those are the things that make me joy,
and that's why I always post it because they make me so happy.
I enjoy life.
I was raised on a dirt road in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.
I used to work at Taco Bell.
You know what I mean?
I sold crack.
I've been in and out of trouble
a lot in my life.
At this age, to be born
in 1978, to be
approaching 45 years old,
as you said, just to wake up
every day is a blessing. To wake
up every day is a privilege. I wake up,
I got a beautiful wife, I got four
beautiful daughters, I have a circle of friends
and family. First of all, I don't have a circle of daughters. I have a circle of friends and family.
First of all, I don't have a circle of friends.
I have a circle of family.
If you around me, that's why I call people my nieces and my sister and everybody,
because that's how I feel, my brother, because I really feel like we're family,
and I cherish my family so much.
And to me, that's it.
I'm good.
I really do not need anything else.
Everything else is a bonus.
Now, the opportunity to wake up every morning and do something that I love to do, which is morning radio.
Amazing.
And everything else that I'm doing, you know, career-wise, stems from, you know, doing morning radio.
That is just a plus.
But, you know, it's funny.
My therapist, we even got on that conversation because he talked about how he sees how much fun we're having in the
morning he said you and envy are having so much fun he said when jess is up there y'all look like
y'all he said it feels like a a party for for three hours this is my therapist my therapist
like i hope i'm not overstepping by saying this but he's just like he said it just feels like
y'all are having so much fun and he said it looked like y'all having so much fun and I'm like yo we are
yeah no that's what that's what it feels like and and you know when people when people are hate
hateful as for you or when people are mad at you or when you have that person that's always
hating on you or don't like what you do it's usually because like you said they don't have
that joy that happiness they don't have the thing that makes you happy. People will say, what's so funny?
Why are you so happy?
Why the hell shouldn't I be?
You know what I'm saying?
What you smiling for?
Like, imagine just walking in the room smiling.
And somebody's like, what you smiling for?
Why shouldn't I be smiling?
If I came in here with a mean mug, you wouldn't have a problem with it.
That's right.
You know what I'm saying?
I am operating from a position of joy.
I am extremely happy.
I love my life.
And that's how it's going to be.
Hakuna Matata, God damn it.
And you know what?
One other thing my therapist said to me.
My therapist said, you know, you talk about when people come at you.
My therapist said you can't have those kind of problems without your kind of success.
Of course.
If you don't want those problems, then just simply don't be successful no it's the truth i mean don't be happy right it's the truth
that's it so that all all of it comes with the territory that's right hello who's this hello yo

Hello.
Hey, what's your name?
Hi, how you doing? Jimmy. Hey Jimmy Hey Jimmy we're just talking about joy
What brings you a joy what makes you happy
Well the most thing that makes me happy
Is my daughter
Today she's getting
Into the National 3 Years Honor Society
She's getting an award today
And I always try to
Push my daughter to
Be better than what I am.
Absolutely.
No, that's what it is.
I mean, and that's what it should be.
We should be living for our kids.
We should be making sure our kids are happy,
and we should be wanting to spend as much time with our kids as possible.
Like, you got to be there for your kids.
You got to hold them.
You got to hug them.
You got to mold them.
You got to show them what's right and what's wrong.
And for me, like I said, that makes me me happy you know i say that all the time there's
certain people there's certain people that i hear talk there's certain people i hear say things and
i see how they act and the first thing i think is they cannot have a family right there's no way
they got a wife that loves them or some kids that they love and they're acting like that because
they are not happy absolutely let's go to one more caller.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, good morning.
Mom Dukes.
Mom Dukes.
What's up, Mom Dukes? How you feeling?
Good.
Real good.
Real good.
What makes you happy, Mom Dukes?
The fact that my seven kids and I can still be on a positive note after the passing of their dad almost um 30 years over 30 years plus years you
know my seven kids you know it was a struggle oh man sending you condolences absolutely thank you
and appreciate it how old was he yeah um actually young guy um he was almost 53 and he did not look
his age at all he did what he didn't look his age at all. He did what?
He didn't look his age.
Oh, he didn't look his age.
He looked very young.
How did he pass, if you don't mind me asking?
Come to find out, fentanyl, which was a shocker.
Wow.
Fentanyl, you said?
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Do you think it was like maybe somebody laced some weed or something like that?
I'm not even going to say it was the weed.
Pretty much.
The weed?
You think it was weed? pretty much the weed you think it
was weed oh yeah jesus no come on don't tell me that jesus christ seriously like when she said
it was a shocker that means that he wasn't a druggie that somebody like probably lacing you've
been seeing so many cases of people lacing things like that that's why you know people always tell
people when you do get your cannabis or your weed you know you go to a dispensary but you know we
want to salute you because you were saying that your family makes you happy.
Oh, yes.
One of them, well, my son, Seven, he used to play for Oregon.
Now he's at Jackson State.
And when he just, you know, started school pretty much, he had to just crawl back for a minute you know in his mind and
you know play things over pretty much we just played role play you know the last moment because
it was unexpected and you know like you said joy and envy and jealousy you know everybody even that
happened you know people still wasn't you know have remorse for you like we kind of feel like in a way maybe
someone did it on purpose but we have no way of proving that part well you just make sure you
keep that family together i mean the fact that you got seven you keep them tight as possible i
try to keep my six as tight as possible you do things all the time you try to take vacations
with each other you try to make sure you have those dinners whether it's easter birthday christmas
like you try to keep them as close as possible
so that when you move on,
they always have each other's backs, you know?
Right, true story.
All right, well enjoy, mama, and keep smiling.
Absolutely, and I appreciate you guys too.
You guys are the light of my six months.
Love.
Seriously.
Thank you.
All right.
That phone call right there is exactly why you should wake up
every day and regardless of what's going on in your life you should smile and you should be
happy because you're still here absolutely for a lot of us men that's our biggest fear right
you know we got these families we got these wives and then you know something unexpected
happening we're no longer here and they got to navigate this earthly terrain correct by themselves
like as a man i don't know about everybody else.
That's my biggest concern.
But as my therapist says, faith and anxiety cannot coexist.
Okay?
So I will only speak positive things.
I'm definitely sending healing energy to that young woman and her family, man.
That's right.
Appreciate life, y'all.

We're just asking, what brings you joy?
What makes you happy? Let's talk about it.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?
Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start
your own country. I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly
easy. 55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's
doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of
Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial
tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go
wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black
powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

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.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking,
what brings you joy?
What makes you happy?
All right?
Now, this conversation comes from a gentleman named Joey
who called this morning during Get It Off Your Chest,
and he was just like, he wanted to shout out
all the miserable people in the world
because he said he smiles.
He's at a place of peace, and he's happy,
and nobody could take that peace from him.
He said he smiles all the time, and his life is happy. And nobody can take that peace from him. He smiles all the time.
And his life is happy.
And the irony of that is, literally yesterday, I had a great therapy session.
And I called Envy after the therapy session.
And I told him what my therapist told me because it was real.
He said, my therapist said, joy produces more jealousy and envy than money.
And my therapist said, people can be jealous of your money.
They can be jealous of your success. they can be jealous of your success,
they can be jealous of your position,
but nothing makes them more jealous
than your joy.
That's right.
So, you know,
you gotta be happy.
Like, you walk in a room sometime
and people will be like,
why are you smiling?
Why the hell
shouldn't I be smiling?
No, you're right.
Come on, man.
I work for this piece.
You hear me?
That's right.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Keisha. Hey, Keisha. Peace, Keisha. You hear me? That's right. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Keisha.
Hey, Keisha.
Peace, Keisha.

Oh, stop it. I can hear that you needed your head done, Keisha. I'm not going to lie to. I don't know why, but I can hear the beady beads on your back. Oh, stop it.
I can hear that you needed your hair done, Keisha.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Stop it, Keisha.
When are you getting your hair done, Keisha?
When are you getting your hair done?
I'm going to come and I'm going to swing on you.
That's what I'm going to do.
Don't let him take your joy, Keisha.
Don't let him take your joy.
When are you getting your hair done, Keisha?
I'm going to swing on you.

What brings you joy?
I always done.
I got a lot.
Thank you.
What makes you happy, Keisha?
Okay, so two things.
So one, my homegirl put me on this rose thing.
Man, that thing be sucking the life out of my body.
So that's one.
Okay, the rose makes you happy.
The rose?
Okay.
Yes.
And then the second thing is, man, I love shopping.
And I don't have to buy the stuff.
So what I be doing, right?
Stealing.
And like the mannequin, I be designing the mannequin and then i'll run out
and i'll be looking in the corner to see if anybody's looking to pick it up that made me
so weird i'm coming i'm coming to duval day just to make sure you get arrested
i'm gonna give you a hug i'm gonna say keisha what's up stay here for one second
and i'm gonna dial dial a number and then they're gonna take you somewhere where you're gonna um

All right, Keisha?
You feel it.
All right, I appreciate y'all.
Y'all have a good day.
Have a good day, Keisha.
I'm going to tell y'all something that's so crazy.
What's that?
She dead-ass serious.
What?
Everything she just said, Keisha dead serious.
No, she serious.
I just want y'all to know that.
She from Jacksonville, okay?
She serious.
She serious.
She from Florida.
That's Florida.
I thought she was going to say your family make her happy.
She said her rose.
The rose in boosting.
In boosting.
The rose in shoplifting from stores is what makes Keisha happy.
Jacksonville, Florida, ladies and gentlemen.
Jacksonville, Florida.
Keith, what up?
I ain't in Jacksonville.
No, we ain't talking about you.
We talking about Keisha that called a second ago.
But what up, Keith?
What's going on?
How you doing this morning?
He said, I ain't from Florida.
We bless black and highly favored.
I ain't from Jacksonville.
Where you from, Keith?
I'm in South Carolina.
I'm originally from New York.
Okay.
What part of South Carolina?
I'm in Prosperity, a little town about 30 miles from Columbia.
Okay.
Salute to the 803.
What makes you happy, Keith?
Man, my kids, man.
My kids.
All day.
I got six and I got one on the way.
I got one I'm waiting on right now.
Oh, congratulations, black man.
Seven, that's God's number.
That's a blessing.
What are they?
Boys, girls, what you got?
I got four boys.
I'm going to have five boys and two girls.
Well, congratulations, bro.
How old are you?
41.
41.
That's a blessing.
Jesus, absolutely.
Take care of yourself so you can be around for them kids, man.
Go get your colonic.
You know what I mean?
Go get your cardiovascular checked out. Make sure your cholesterol and blood pressure is low. No doubt. I will. around for them kids, man. Go get your colonic. You know what I mean? Go get your cardiovascular checked out.
Make sure your cholesterol and blood pressure is low.
No doubt.
I will.
Have a good one, brother.
I got to be around to see my grandkids.
That's right.
There you go.
That's the goal.
That is.
That is the goal.
All right.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is, man, don't let anybody remove you from your position of joy.
As my therapist told me yesterday, joy produces more jealousy and envy than money
and success. So even if you don't have
the most money, even if you don't have the most
success, you can guarantee
that you have the most happiness just by
making the choice to be happy every
damn day. You don't gotta wear designer,
but you can wear a big ass smile.
And that big ass smile piss people off
more than design. You can walk in a room with some
Louis and some Gucci and some Prada and some Hermes.
Some Hermes.
Whatever.
You can walk in there with all of that stuff on and people will be like, whatever, who
they think they is.
Walk in there with a smile.
I bet you hear, what you smiling for?
You right.
Why you so happy?
You right.
You right.
And that's just smile.
You know, we should play Duval.
Play Duval, God damn it.
Smile, bitch.
And when we come back
We got your rumor report
We gotta talk about
Moneybagg Yo
And his relationship
With Ari Fletcher
We'll get into it next
At the Breakfast Pokemon
Going back and forth
With you
Anymore
One day I'm gonna tell y'all
How that song was actually
Derived and created
Not right now though
Wait till me and Duval
Like 60, 70
60 years old
We really don't care no more yeah i'm
gonna tell you how that story was how that song actually came to be but i'm gonna tell you
something i'm looking at this headline right it's in the uh new york post and we talked about this
earlier right and you know it's the whole thing with the diddy lawsuit against it what's the brand
company called delio no i know diageo diage. And the headline says, Diddy partner favored Clooney.
Because he's saying that they favored George Clooney and Casamigos over De Leon.
I don't know if that's the partner as much as it is the people.
It feels like the people have chosen Casamigos.
It depends.
It depends if Diageo spent more time and effort and funding in Casamigos and not the same with De Leon.
But you still can't make me like something I don't like.
I don't care how much promotion
in the marketing has been.
People do it all the time.
Not really.
If you put millions in the marketing,
people will try it
and if they like it from there,
they mess with it.
Yeah, but I don't know what,
I don't know why Casamigos got so big in the culture.
It did.
I mean, it got huge
and it feels like it kind of came out of nowhere.
Took Patron right out.
But bend right out. Bend White right out.
And now you still got the culture
still pushing Casamigos.
They're doing songs about Casamigos.
They rap about Casamigos in all their records.
The culture has pushed Casamigos
way more than they have daily on.
At least in my mind, from what I see.
Yeah, but I wonder if the initial reason
was because maybe the promotion was so strong
and they were pushing it on people.
George Clooney ain't got nothing on Diddy when it comes to promotion, bro.
Ain't nobody drinking no Casamigos because of George Clooney.
No, it's not George Clooney.
But if Diageo is pushing that button on another brand.
I don't even know who Diageo is.
Because maybe they feel.
Diageo sounds like he hang out with Dora.
Yo, shut up, man.
All right, let me remind you guys.
Today, iHeartRadio is All Access Day.
That means they are giving away cool-ish, alright? 700

but i'm also sorry i cheated too yeah but the fact that he's able to discuss it and talk about it is
what we talk about all the time because hopefully somebody who's following in his footsteps or who
follows him or listens to him or who looks at him as a idol can see the mistakes that he made so they don't make those same mistakes.
And one of the reasons he's able to talk about it is because he's sitting in front of the legendary Angie Martinez.
Drop on the clues bombs for Angie Martinez.
I didn't told you that in real life podcast is one of the best podcasts out here right now.
And you are not going to sit in front of Angie Martinez and not feel comfortable enough to just open up.
She could have been a therapist
or psychiatrist in another life.
Absolutely.
Easily.
She does that.
Easily.
Shout out to Angie Moore.
Shout out to Angie Moore.
Legend is an understatement.
You hear me?
And make sure you subscribe
to the In Real Life podcast
available everywhere
you listen to podcasts.
All right.
Now they also discuss about
them having a miscarriage.
It's a song called
Going Through Some Things
on Hard to Love.
Well, I'm talking about the miscarriage situation.
I say treat her like a wife about a big carrot.
Soon as we agreed to have a child, she had a miscarriage.
Deal with this.
I ain't close those.
I ain't post nothing online.
I kept them folks up out my business.
Whatever the case may be, you know what I'm saying?
But it's like I'm really venting, i'm opening up about the situation and tell them like that situation like her losing the baby and and all it like broke it
was kind of breaking out bum because she feel like i went third for like how i posed to been but
whole town trying to get through my situations i'm trying to work i'm trying to wrap this all
happened within all this happened like it was a miscarriage i lost my baby mama i lost my
day one my best my
left and right hand we talking about back to back like within a year period within a year period
like january i respect that i mean that's nobody's business but you and your ladies yeah you know if
you are gonna put it out and you're all gonna talk about it why not put it out in your art i don't
i don't mind it in your own way of doing it also so let's uh move forward shout out to uh boost
badass now bussy was on the big homies
house podcast and they asked him about gunna and what he thought about the whole situation with
gunna and this is what boosie said the dirt thing that came out this week he said um basically said
gunna a rat do you think you can be have that type of label in this industry and have a successful
career i think gunna might be done Let's go to probably another country.
Damn.
Yeah, because Weezer say f*** you.
He did?
Weezer really out of here.
Weezer say he out of here.
He say he working on something.
I don't want no rat to excel.
So, you know, I hope he never sell a record again.
You know, I just...
What if...
I've been hurt.
What if...
Thug.
Yeah, what if Thug come out and say like...
Hey, this was a part of the plan, guys.
What if he come back and be like,
This ain't part of no motherfucking plan.
You hear what Thug a lawyer say?
We ain't know none of this was happening.
This a sneak attack.
Yeah, so he talked about it.
And then Gunna released a snippet.
He's finally putting out new music.
And in the snippet, people feel like he's addressing the snitch allegations.
By the way, Gunna not done at all. All Gunna got to do is put out good music.
Because the reality of the situation is it's way more civilians out here than it is street street correct so like them same
them rules that you know the street dudes are applying to music they don't apply to the regular
everyday consumer our fan yeah but obviously we're seeing that for some reason it's a shift so street
dudes are not even being street anymore like we've been seeing for the last couple of years i mean
with everything that they've been saying and doing and snitching on themselves
with music and testifying and everything that they've been doing, you can see the difference.
There's a huge change.
So you can't pick and choose when you change and when you don't want to change.
100%.
Now, one thing Boosie did say that makes a lot of sense is, you know, I guess the producer,
Weezy, I guess he's, I didn't see that, but I guess he said he's falling back from Gunna.
Really?
I mean, that's what they just said in the clip.
Right, right, right.
So if stuff like that starts happening and you're not getting them fire beats, that'll affect your music.
But as far as the consumers, these fans will buy it.
Yeah.
If it's hot, they're going to consume it.
Because once again, there's more civilians out here than there's street dudes.
That's right.
But if the producers start backing away, that'll impact you more than anything else.
Absolutely.
That'll impact you more than you having being a snitch snitch right you can't find producers absolutely 100 all right
well that is your rumor report now who you giving that donkey to man for after the hour we need a
guy named stephen swartz to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with him
and this is yet another example of why ai is the devil we'll talk about it all right we'll get to
that next it's the breakfast Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Yeah, you got eyes.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you got eyes.
You are a donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
Donkey of the day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day.
They chose you.
This is a breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Wednesday.
Today's Wednesday, right?
Thursday, bro.
Thursday.
Donkey of the day for Thursday, June 1st, goes to Stephen Swartz,
an attorney with a firm called Levedow, Leadal and Oberman right here in New York City now this story warms my heart because
I keep telling y'all AI is the devil and I don't like AI for a lot of reasons and I hate how people
say things like it's a necessary evil evil should never be necessary but the society we live in is
always willing to accept some evil especially if it puts money in people's pockets. But this story is proving one of my theories about AI correct. And that is simply you can't
trust it. And this attorney found out the hard way when he used chat GPT to help write a Manhattan
federal court filing. Let's go to CBS News for the report, please. Even a lawyer with 30 years
of experience can learn something new about the law. For example, don't let ChatGPT
do your legal research. Stephen Schwartz filed a brief for a man who said he was injured by a
drinks cart on a flight operated by Avianca Airlines. Schwartz's filing cited precedents
like Martinez versus Delta Airlines. The problem was that while Delta Airlines does exist,
the case does not. Schwartz admitted he relied on ChatG GPT, which made up half a dozen bogus cases.
Now the lawsuit he was working on has been tossed and he faces potential sanctions.
The risks of AI go far beyond poor legal work.
Industry leaders, including executives of three leading AI companies, co-signed statement tuesday warning the technology could pose
an existential threat to society 30 years of experience 30 years to build a reputation in law
one day on chat gpt to ruin it okay steven swartz you obviously are one of those people that cheated
their way through law school all right you don't just start doing things like this because of the
technology no no no you've been doing this since at least high school, probably copied from folks so much.
You even signed the person you was cheating off of his name.
OK, what kills me about this story isn't the fact that Stephen used chat GTP.
It's just that you didn't do the number one thing we were all taught to do in school and should apply in our everyday lives.
And that's check and cite our sources, check and cite our work.
You have to proofread and read some more to make sure you have everything in this paper correct.
This is why when people say things to me like I can never replace humans, you're going to need a human to make sure I is doing what it's supposed to do.
Do you realize how lazy homo sapiens are?
OK, and how much technology has made us even lazier?
OK, this whole world we lived in, this whole world we live in is designed for us to do as little as possible.
We want everything instant nowadays. We want everything right here, right now.
This lawyer used chat GPT simply because he didn't want to do the work.
And guess what? Just another example that in life there is no shortcuts.
OK, it's simply not. And we shouldn't want to give up our critical thinking skills to chat GPT. Don't tell me that
chat GPT needs humans when humans are just willing to relinquish all control to this artificial
intelligence chat bot. Okay. Because that's what Steven Schwartz did. And he paid the price.
Imagine your lawyer is in court asking the court to get your lawsuit tossed. He's citing more than
a half a dozen relevant cases and none of those cases exist.
Completely made up by ChatGPT.
Stephen Swartz, why would you not check and double check ChatGPT's work to see if the cases they used were actual cases?
I didn't go to college.
OK, I don't know how much studying y'all do in law school, but I feel like you would have heard a lot of these cases before.
And some of them should just make you be a little curious.
For example, you heard the case titles Miller versus United Airlines, Peterson versus Iran Air, Hart versus Soul Plane, 36 versus Stay Fly Air.
Wouldn't you just be a little bit curious about what some of those things are?
OK, I made those last two stories. But the moral of the story is this.
This is why the robots will win.
Because humans are relinquishing all trust to them.
And honestly, the way that things are currently going,
people won't even care if the cases are real soon as long as they sound good.
I can easily see a judge not knowing any better.
A jury definitely wouldn't know no better.
Why would they?
They're not lawyers.
What if a judge or someone in the jury goes home and pulls these fake cases up, reads them, and applies them to the actual real case that they will be trying?
All right?
They're going to start trying real cases based off precedent that's not even real.
Okay?
I've told you all a million times.
The lines of what's real and what's fake are already blurred.
AI will obliterate those lines completely now i would play a game but guess what race it is but it's obvious stephen swartz isn't
black right because even though black people may believe anything we question everything okay what's
the first thing we say when somebody tells us a story that seems a little fishy this don't sound
right okay see this
new generation you operate a little different because y'all believe everything on social media
but when you're born in the 1900s you are skeptical about everything i encourage you all to read the
fifth agreement by don miguel ruiz yes i'm sure you've read the four agreements but there's a
fifth agreement and the fifth agreement is be skeptical but learn to listen okay be skeptical
because most of what you hear isn't true. You know
that humans speak with symbols and that symbols are only the truth because we agree, not because
they are really the truth. But the second half of the agreement is learn to listen. And the reason
is simple. When you learn to listen, you understand the meaning of the symbols that people are using.
You understand their story and the communication improves a lot. That's going to be such a foreign concept if y'all just relinquish all control and power to chat GPT.
America, you better learn to be as skeptical about everything as black people.
Okay?
Or question everything.
Learn to say, this don't sound right.
Alright?
Black people from the 1900s,
we say things don't sound right when it's no sound involved.
You better get like us.
Because the life and career you save may
be your own please let remy ma give stephen schwartz the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw
you stupid are you dumb all right well thank you for that donkey today yes indeed and shout
to bet we'll see you guys tomorrow that don't sound right what you sure we're gonna be here
tomorrow on bt Tomorrow's Friday.
What's wrong with you?
Just making sure.
Be skeptical, but learn to listen.
Yo, shut up.
BET, we'll see y'all tomorrow.
Peace.
Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
What do you think of AI?
Not Allen Iverson, niggas.
Artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence, right?
Because if you think about it, if you're an attorney, you're thinking, you know, I could save a little money.
Instead of having, you know, interns and employees, I type it in chat, GT, Jack, whatever it's called, and it pulls up all the other cases.
Now, he should have Googled to see if those cases were there, but it seems like, you know, something a little easier that can help people.
And now 30 years of experience down the drain, your reputation down the drain because you decided to go on ChatGPT one time.
People questioning everything about you now.
Also, AI, they're saying, you know, in some vehicles, if they have AI in vehicles, you know, sometimes people fall asleep.
They have all these different modules.
They got that now.
Right, but that's AI.
Self-driving cars.
Right, but it's not too many cars.
I know Tesla has one.
They're starting to have it in 18 wheelers now.
Escalade's got them.
Escalade's have them, but not to an extent.
You have to touch the steering wheel at a certain time.
You just can't sit back and relax.
I don't know.
I don't have one of those.
I can't afford that type of stuff.
Okay, whatever.
But we're asking, what's your thought on AI?
Because it could be dangerous.
Just imagine.
I don't even want to put that out there.
Let me think of another thing.
Just think about you getting into a beef.
No, think about you getting into beef. You're the one getting into all the beef. Don't point at me. Now, you think about you getting into a beef no think about you
getting into beef
you the one getting
into all the beef
don't point at me
think about you
getting into beef
think about you
getting into beef
no cause somebody
can use
somebody can
it's pride month too
by the way
don't be talking about
beef unless you
wanna do something
perfect example
let's say that
somebody wants to say
Charlemagne is gay
right
what
you can come
I ain't nothing wrong
with being a little gay
everybody's a little gay
like what but now this don't sound right somebody can use charlamagne's voice and make a fake conversation
with charlamagne's voice and somebody else and people will believe it i've been telling you
it'll be hard for you not to say it wasn't true let's go even deeper imagine you hear your best
friend and your wife a conversation between them two talking about getting it in and all kind of
stuff and the conversation
not even real. And you're about to
go see both of them in the next five minutes.
You might be driving on the way. You're all about to meet
somewhere and you just heard this call.
And you do something stupid and then you realize
that it was this.
So what's your thoughts on AI? Let's talk
about it. 800-585-1051.
Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast
Club. Good morning.
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, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, by the phone lines lit up. Let's talk about it. cases and you know every single case that the chat gpt pulled up was a fake case now i'm on record y'all can go back and pull up my donkey of the day i think ai is the devil i don't like ai at
all uh i just feel like the lines between what's real and fake are already blurred now those lines
are about to be utterly obliterated like it's gonna come to a point especially next year during
the presidential election if y'all thought misinformation ran rampant during the last
presidential elections wait till next year it's gonna come a point where we're not
going to even know what's real and what's not like i don't believe anything i hear anymore i was
watching cnn last night and they said the feds have trump on tape talking about he still has
confidential documents and i'm like now why should i believe that sure why should i believe that all
of a sudden they got him on tape and i know it's the feds but still why should I believe that? Sure. Why should I believe that all of a sudden they got him on tape?
And I know it's the feds, but still, why should I believe that, you know, even people like that wouldn't manipulate calls? And then even when you talk about from a money aspect, they say that AI is going to erase like 90 million jobs.
And then you have people saying, yeah, but, you know, 90 million jobs are going to be created.
We're going to make so much money off of, you know, AI.
The reality is it's going to widen socioeconomic inequality
in ways that we've never seen before right so so sometimes you gotta you gotta think of convenience
or you gotta think of humanity right the reason i say that is if you drive up any up and down the
highway whether it's in florida atlanta new york new jersey south carolina north carolina
nine times out of ten you have easy pass or
something that's very similar to easy pass right which took away a lot of jobs because before you
would have to stop and pay the person physical but now that person is not there anymore and they
have these machines there right which is supposed to be convenient it's supposed to be a lot faster
which it is but how does it save money because now you're not paying those people's salaries
and you have these machines there shouldn't the tolls actually go down because you don't have to pay those salaries.
But the tolls actually went up.
Yeah, that's what I don't understand.
If if if all of these companies replace, you know, these these people with robots, where are these people going to get money from to support your companies?
Correct. And I don't like that.
You have all of these people in the tech world saying that there's a chance that artificial intelligence is going to destroy humanity why are we willing to take that chance like like if somebody tells me
there's a chance that if y'all do x y and z it'll blow up this whole room i'll be like well let's
not do it let's not let's not like we're not doing it like why even try it but i you know for ai for
certain things like i like the police dog right and the reason you like the police dog and things
like that is so now a person if there is a threat a bomb, you don't have to send an actual person in.
You can send that device in to actually check to see if there's a bomb.
Who's programming the police dog?
What if the police dog is being programmed by the same racist, bigoted people that we dealing with now?
So the dog don't know nothing but black is wrong.
That's true.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm taking it from the stand of at least that dog can go into that building and disarm
whatever's there so a human being wouldn't go in there and possibly lose their life,
you know?
I'm sure AI has a lot of pros, but you got to ask yourself, are the cons worth it?
No.
If they're telling us that there's a chance that this could destroy humanity as we know
it, why is that a chance we're willing to take?
And people say things like that in regard to like the nuclear bomb right here's the difference between nuclear bomb and artificial
intelligence what regular everyday people don't have access to nuclear bomb that's true you know
how many times you already nuke somebody yeah with your fragile sensitive ass beige rage is what i
call you know what i'm saying yep there's a reason that you don't have access to that kind of power
people regular everyday people should not we should not have access to artificial intelligence they'd be only like a little a little balmy pool no it wouldn't
have been a biggie no like just a little balmy no and just say i'm just saying just think about it
right everybody's already on edge like i said earlier imagine you're driving and somebody
calls you and say yo you need to hear this and it's your wife your best friend having a conversation
about smashing you might be pulling up to the house when you hear this call you don't know what emotional mind state you may be in that's you know i'm saying you
may make a poor decision based off a temporary emotion but even more importantly based off
something that's not real or on the flip side something could be real and what's the first
thing somebody's gonna say that wasn't me that was was a I. I didn't really say that. I didn't really do that. I am already ready.
I can't wait.
That was a use that it was me.
I thought you said it was the devil, Charlemagne.
It is.
And the devil is working.
That was not me.
That's okay.
Hello.
Who's this?
Yo, what's up?
It's John in Atlanta.
Hey, what's up, John from Atlanta?
What's going on, brother?
Hey, just working, working, brother.
But I just want to give. Oh, what's up? He from Atlanta? What's going on, brother? Hey, just working, just working, brother. But I just want to give an...
Oh, what's up, Solomon?
Peace, King.
How you, brother?
Good, good, good.
Yeah, so as far as the AI or chat,
DBT, all this stuff goes,
you know, what I'm seeing is that
it is killing creativity.
I think people are leaning too much on AI
and it's not as cracked up as much as we thought it was going to be because you know
people are like I said are so heavily reliant they're not relying on themselves not thinking
outside the box so this thing gets to go into a loop and unfortunately I think this generation is
not willing to push back on anything that will in the end harm us because if these things start
taking jobs what you're going to end up having is what happens when the Amazon factory, in the end, harm us. Because if these things start taking jobs, what you're going to end up having is what happens
when the Amazon factory opens in a small town.
You're going to have a limited amount of jobs,
and then there's going to be a ton of people that are wanting to do jobs
that can be done by people.
They're going to be all going for that one job,
and then the company can charge them or pay them close to nothing
because they have so many people willing and desperate for those jobs that's right you're
right people people are going to need places to work like think about it like this you can buy a
car now online where you never see a salesperson or a finance person or anything that's crazy you
click online uh they you know you order the car what you want if they have the car in stock they
send it to you and they start sending you your bill you never you order the car what you want if they have the car in stock they send it to
you and they start sending you your bill you never speak to a finance manager you never speak to a
salesperson or nothing like that why would you trust that i'm born in the 1900s y'all i need to
talk to somebody i've always been like that i want to talk to no automated service i need to talk to
a human you know why because when i need to blame somebody i can't blame chat gpt or this ai i need to say steve from such and such
department said x y and z correct that's how things get done talking to people right 800-585-1051
what are your thoughts on ai let's discuss it's the breakfast club hey guys i'm kate max you might
know me from my popular online series the running Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes,
entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast,

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

Why can't I create my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.

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

You know what I'm saying? You lip syncing.
I don't like that.
Let's go to the phone lines.
A lot of people want to talk.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Ny'Asia from New York.
Hey, good morning, my mom.
Hey, it's Ny'Asia.
What's your thoughts?
Oh, my thoughts on AI, like, I feel like it's really dangerous, first and foremost.
And I feel like it's not credible.
And a lot of sites that let people just go on there and say what they want to say or do what they want to do and put out all this false narrative.
It could become a very dangerous thing.
I agree with you.
I agree with you.
And I don't trust people that are just out here pushing AI.
Yeah.
For someone who actually just graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, actually, I am a licensed
paralegal, it could become a very,
very dangerous thing.
Like, just say, like y'all said,
the guy who was a lawyer.
Lawyers are teaching them.
So it's like, it's like us
saying that Wikipedia is
credible. You know what? A lot of people
feel like Wikipedia is credible.
Like, that's the sad
part about it.
The difference is
Wikipedia itself is not credible
but some of the information can be
found to be credible. That's true.
Wikipedia told me
Envy was a gardener and that's true.
I'm definitely not a gardener.
Like you said, even with Wikipedia
those facts on Wikipedia can be changed.
Anybody can go in there and change them.
How is that okay?
It's not.
If you can use artificial intelligence on any website, the website itself is not credible.
Right.
Thank you, Mama.
As someone, I graduated from ASU.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I'm from New York, but I graduated in North Carolina.
What school But What school
What school
Johnson C. Smith
Okay
Moved to Johnson C. Smith
Yeah
Congrats to you mama
So it's like
I do like everything
I model and all that
Like at the end of the day
It could ruin somebody's life
You're right
Like somebody could go
On here
Artificial intelligence
And say
That I did something
With somebody
And it could ruin
My whole career
That's right.
Both ways.
Thank you, Mama.
And I don't trust people that are just out here pushing AI.
Like, you got these people that are just out here pushing AI,
talking about all the pros, and if all the pros about AI revolve around money,
run from those kind of people.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, what's going on?
This is Glenn.
How you doing?
DJ Envy selling me the car at Breakfast Club.
What's popping?
What's up, man?
Talk to us.
Yeah, man.
Yo, I think this AI thing
is amazing, man.
I think we need to embrace it,
honestly,
because I wrote
a movie treatment on it.
It helped me out.
I mean,
if you want to be a poet
and we'll write poetry
for you, man,
I think we need to demystify it
because if so many of us
think that it's a scary thing, we're not going to embrace it. And I think that we, people need to demystify it because if so many of us think that is a scary thing,
we're not going to embrace it.
And I think that people need to probably be programmers or try to get involved with it
so they can connect with it and make it a better program, something better for all of us.
You know what I'm saying?
You said it can write poetry for you.
Why would you want it to write poetry for you?
Like, imagine if you found out your favorite poet didn't write his stuff it came from jack gbt if somebody
came to us tomorrow and said jay-z didn't write none of his rhymes we'd be sitting around like
damn for real if we found out judy bloom never wrote any of her books we'd be like damn for real
so why would you want that well i mean it's gonna help people with the creative process that
probably don't normally have it or or or have the skills to do that initially.
But it's going to help someone probably train them to practice and, you know, at least get into the mindset of creating.
But that's the whole thing.
The reason we like writers and directors is because it's coming from their mind frame, not from mind frame of a device.
You know what I mean?
You want something that's coming from somebody's heart something that somebody wrote that they thought of the idea
that they came out not just i type it in the computer because what happens if you type it
in the computer and i type it in computer we're gonna get the same thing that's right i understand
that but we but we need to stop being so afraid of this technology and it's like it's sort of like
the early days like the police force how we were so afraid to get into the police force and saying
that we don't want to be believed but if we were to enter into it we could have changed it it made a it
made a better police force if we do it now at least from internally so we got the internal
into this program you know like like the dot-com process and we have to enter this and and not let
it uh get past us because then we're going to be sleeping. See, the problem is that people want us to sleep.
Well, listen, here's the thing.
Thank you, brother.
The police force isn't a good example
because black people have a million reasons
to be skeptical of law enforcement, right?
Right?
But when it comes to artificial intelligence,
you have leaders in the space.
Elon Musk, the guy from Google who stepped down,
I can't remember his name right now, the guy from Google who stepped down. I can't remember his name right now.
The guy from Google who stepped down to warn people about the dangers of AI.
You have leaders in the space saying how this could be a threat to humanity.
Why are we not listening to them?
Yeah, I mean, but not only that.
It's taking jobs, and we're seeing it now.
Like, there's a lot of people that have to retire early because their jobs they've been doing all their life is not there
anymore. And we can go from
gas station pumps. We can
go from easy pass collections.
We can go to train conductors.
It's going to be to the point where the bus drivers
are going to be nobody driving buses anymore
because they're going to be self-driven. Ebony K. Williams is going to
love that. Well, shut up, man.
Smooth Ebony K. Williams.
No, it's going to be a problem.
And my main problem
is you can't decide
if it's real or not.
The way that they
can clone a voice,
you don't know if it's real,
if it's fake.
And like you said,
with the election coming up,
they're going to make Joe Biden
say all types of things.
Wait until next year.
Next year,
it ain't going to be,
you know,
if you don't know
whether to vote for me
or Trump,
you ain't black.
I'm like,
if you niggas
don't vote for me.
Mark my words. And the guy's name is Trump. You ain't black. I'm like, if you niggas don't vote for me. Mark my words.
And the guy's name is Dr. Hinton, Dr. Jeffrey Hinton.
They call him the godfather of AI.
He resigned from Google just to warn people about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
And that's my thing.
If you're talking to people about AI and they're talking to you about the pros of AI
and the only pros they have are revolving around
money and how we need to
be involved because it's going to put money
in our pockets but they're not telling you about none of the dangers
and the cons of it
run from those type of people
run from them
I want to salute to all our LGBTQ
listeners out there
LGBTQIAEIOU
and sometimes Y what's's happening? It's your month. Yes, this is Pride Month, so I just want to
salute to you guys out there. Well, I don't want to say you guys.
I want to salute to you. You guys, you gals, you theys. Exactly.
Thank you. You envies. You charlers.
Listen, man. Play the drop, right?
Ain't nothing wrong with being a little gay
Everybody's a little gay
When we come back, let's discuss Shannon Sharp
It looks like he's leaving, we'll find out why
They don't need him no more, Skip can argue with AI
Yeah, that's true
He can argue with himself
It's the Breakfast Club, good morning
Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy
We are the Breakfast Club, let's get to the rumors
Let's talk Shannon Sharp
Rumor has it.
Rumor.
Rumor has it.
Call out her name or you gossiping or you chatty patting.
I am gossiping.
This is The Rumor Report.
I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.
This is where the tea spills, right?
Right.
On The Breakfast Club.
Now, Shannon Sharp reportedly is leaving Fox's Undisputed after seven years with Skip Bayless.
Shannon Sharp recently reached a contract
agreement uh which is going to end his seven-year run and they believe he's also taking his club
along with him that's the podcast i hope shannon sharp didn't uh allow these people on social media
to trick him out of position because you know they always give him flack whenever him and skip
bayless go at it and you know people call skip bayless racist and
things of that nature well this was the big thing that people believe and i'm gonna say social media
believes was the incident that made him want to leave this was their argument with uh about demar
hamlin incident uh there's been a lot of speculation of why i wasn't on air yesterday and i won't get
into speculation or conjecture innuendo but i will say this in watching that game on monday night
uh what happened to
damar hamlin struck me a little different um skip tweeted something and although i disagree with the
tweet uh and and hopefully uh skip would take it down but i didn't want it well time out time out
i'm not going to take it down because i stand by what i tweeted okay i mean i cannot even get
through a monologue without you interrupting me you You could have came back, Skip. Well, I thought, Skip, just let me. I didn't know you were going to bring up this.
No, I was just going to say, Skip, I didn't want to yesterday to get into a situation
where DeMar Hamlin was the issue.
We should have been talking about him.
But you can't even let me finish my opening monologue without you interrupting.
He probably fed up.
You know what I mean?
I just hope it was his decision.
Right.
And not listening to the damn internet.
Yeah, but I do also like a great conversation, right?
Because we don't have to have the same.
A great debate.
It's a debate show.
We don't have to agree on anything.
You know what I mean?
And if you feel one way and I feel one way, we should be able to express how we feel.
But you got to be respectful in a debate, though.
But it does have to be respectful.
You can't interrupt me and all that other kind of stuff.
So, I mean, like I said, but I know Shannon Sharp going.
I'm sure he has bigger and better things on the horizon.
I mean, sure, they had to pay him out.
So he got his millions, which he already had.
And he got Club Che Che, which is his own platform.
He'd be fine.
Yeah.
And I'm sure, I don't know how long the non-compete would be,
but ESPN would pick up a Shannon Sharp in a heartbeat.
Absolutely.
You know?
All right, now Adidas has dropped a federal court case
aimed at freezing Kanye West's bank account.
They were withholding they were withholding, I should say, seventy five million dollars.
Now, attorneys for Adidas and Yeezy said that they had reached an agreement that would see the sneaker giant voluntarily dismiss the case.
Now, this came just after hours of of, I guess, an emergency order of refreezing the money.
And they're're gonna let this
money go now remember last week we told you that they had a back stock that they were going to
start letting those back stock go uh in a couple of weeks and charlamagne said if yeezy and adidas
work with each other again he was going to put his mouth on somebody's i don't know why you keep
bringing this up i never said that that was artificial intelligence that was artificial
intelligence that was gbt that wasn't you i never said that i don't even i never said that i don't even
know where you got that from okay people keep saying that to me i'm like where y'all getting
this from i never said that okay all right all right well that is your rumor report and i gotta
remind you by the way just for the record they're still not in business together there's no but you
didn't say that so don't worry i didn't say it but just you know if i i didn't say it it was

I had a great therapy session yesterday,
and I told y'all some things that we talked about in therapy earlier,
just about operating from a position of joy, right?
Because nothing makes people more jealous and envious of you
than seeing you happy.
But there's another thing I learned in therapy.
And it's actually a quote from Wayne Gretzky.
And I love this quote because
too many people don't know where to go
because they're too busy focusing on what was.
So Wayne Gretzky once had a quote where he said,
I skate to where the
puck is going to be not where it has been i skate to where the puck is going to be not where it has
been y'all have a great day breakfast club bitches y'all finished or y'all done hey guys i'm kate max

Niminy here.
I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast
for kids and families called Historical Records.
Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
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.
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 moment.
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.
