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.

Good morning. Yeah, man. And it's just us this morning. We were supposed to have some special guest hosts this morning. Yeah. Our good brothers, Wallo and Gilly. Yes. Wallo and Gilly from Philadelphia were supposed to be here this morning, but we woke up to some tragic news.

Yeah. Yeah. Which we'll break down in the rumor report. Mm-hmm. Very sad, but it's Friday. How you feeling this morning? How was your drive in? I know there was some construction,

which made me make lefts and rights and try to go around three blocks to get here. I think we should tell people at least what happened to Wallow and Gilly before they think something else. No, we should tell people at least what happened to Wallo and Gilly before they, you know, before they think something else. No, I just, we got to explain the full story

and I don't have all the details and I don't want to just... Well, they had a tragic loss in their family. Yeah, had a tragic loss in their family. We'll talk about it later. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. All right, well...

There was, I didn't see no construction. There was construction? Where? You just, you drove right up the block? When I dropped the block, the block was closed.

Well, I saw the construction so I went the other way. drove down the block i was listening to music vibing out yeah crazy i wasn't paying attention until i got to the construction that's right and then by that point it was too late and then i saw that two blocks away because i saw all the blue lights i was like okay something ain't right so clearly i made a left and there was cars backing up so that told me all i needed to know not to go down that road. I blame you. You're that type of person. You're the type of person that see the trouble ahead and still,

you know what, you are that type of person. See, that's the difference. I saw it coming two blocks away, and I was like, nope, I'm going to make it to the left. I blame it on Mary J. Blige. I listen to Mary J. Blige every morning. Don't blame that on Mary. I was listening to Mary. I was in my zone.

I was vibing. And then all of a sudden, I seen traffic. What the hell? Traffic at 4 and 5 in the morning. You wasn't paying attention. You're right. You was not paying attention. You're right.

You're right. Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Of course, we got front page news with Tesla and Figaro coming up. And then we have a world premiere we're about to get into. This is Travis Scott. How's it a world premiere when it's already online?

Bad Bunny. The weekend. We got to change this language in radio, man. Because people are just getting up right now and it's a it's a world premiere for radio premiering it yes oh we're on radio because it's online all right so it's all entitled you just want to ruin everything it's just silly we got to update our language that's the problem so what should we say i just said we're playing a new record from travis scott from your uh from your playlist to our radio you can't say new

record because nobody does records anymore well new from new song okay from your playlist to our radio. But you can't say new record because nobody does records anymore. Well, from new song. Okay, from your playlist to our radio. From your screaming service to our radio station. Something. How long is it? Is it two minutes? Jesus Christ.

It's a short song, so you got to call it like a snippet now or something. People not stupid. Like world premiere. It's like, what's the song? Ah, there's a new song. Damn it. It's Travis Scott, Bad Bunny, The Weeknd. It's called K-Pop.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. From your playlist to your radio station. New music from Travis Scott featuring Bad Bunny and the Weekend, K-Pop. I didn't like that. I loved it. That sounded too commercial. That's the point. That's the radio.

From your playlist to your radio station. The same world premiere sounds insane when it's already on all the streaming services. I don't know if I like that. But anyway, good morning. We are the Breakfast Club. That was new music travis got bad bunny the weekend now let's get in some front page news all right now let's talk about this florida board of education what they doing now once again a florida board of education is back at it again they have approved a new set of standards for how black history should be taught in the state's public schools, sparking criticism from education leaders, the teachers union and civil rights advocates

who said students should be allowed to learn the full truth of American history. Now, the new standards require instruction for middle school students to include. Listen very closely. They want to include how slaves develop skills in which some instances could be applied for their personal benefit. Now, Florida Department of Education, yes, Florida Department of Education said in a statement, we are proud of the process that the department took to develop these standards. And any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength and courage during a difficult time. They say that Florida students deserve to learn, deserve to know how slaves took advantage of the circumstances they were in to benefit themselves.

Now, Andrew Spahr, the president of the Florida Education Association, disagrees. Take a listen to what both him and Vice President Harris had to say. There's that old adage, if we don't learn from history, we're destined to repeat it. So if you are selecting what you can and can't learn in our schools, as the governor is doing right now for his own political ambitions, then kids are missing out on that education they deserve and need. If they don't learn about how slavery really came about in this country and how there were attempts to continue slavery even after the Emancipation Proclamation. If they don't learn about how there was separate and unequal in our schools, which Brown versus the Board of Education reversed and changed, and how states like Florida

and other states fought against desegregation, then we're destined to repeat that. Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it. What I don't understand is they didn't like the old standards because they said what was being taught about American history wasn't true. Well, these new standards they created definitely aren't true. And they take credit for the scrimp and methods of survival that, you know, the enslaved learn based off a matter of circumstance. Like nobody taught us that that was a matter of necessity. We had no choice.

Yeah, but you know it's i hate i mean we all hate all of it but what's the solution what do we have to do as people to make sure that that doesn't happen well this is why you have to self-educate your kids i mean you know as far as the legislation yeah you can push back against that but i'd never you know looked for any of these schools and institutions to teach my beautiful black daughters what they actually should know same thing with us like you know i've learned so much about black history by you know doing my own reading and reading at home and research at home i never learned any of that in school yeah but is this now where we hopefully put our arms around the church and try to get more people in the church and do classes

after maybe church or yeah like i'm just saying because that's where a huge place where black people and black families go to. How about your home? Well, besides the home, a lot of people don't know the education. Right. And a lot of people don't know how to teach. A lot of people don't know how to do that. You can't go get the autobiography of Malcolm X. You can't go get a message to the black man. It sounds easy, but a lot of people.

You can't go get the mis-education of the Negro. But a lot of people are working so hard and they don't have time to do anything. They don't have time. That's right, DJ. Everybody doesn't have time to do that. Everybody don't have the opportunity. No. And again, well well let's be clear

some of these kids live in shelters guys so everybody is not in a home the public school system is not made up of people that have everybody has a home let's send the books that they need to these shelters why are y'all acting like these kids can't get access to books that's what I'm asking that's what I'm saying the solution is sending books to the shelters

making sure the churches are doing classes to teach these students it's crazy how y'all always reduce black people to the lowest possible no we're not reducing no that's no well hold on one second no that's not that's ridiculous it's not reducing to the lowest that is just one solution first solution is school board members are elected so that's first things first this is why it's important that local and state elections matter we spend a lot of time talking about federal but people need to really get involved and make sure they have the person that they want actually representing them. Secondly, no, Charlamagne, of course, we teach self-taught, but there's some people that didn't start reading books and didn't start getting engaged until their 30s and 40s.

So when we talk about the collective and overall and how do we take care of children that may not have parents, parents that may be struggling, parents that work a lot, that just may not know how to teach their children. Oh, one parent household where a mother or father is working two, three jobs, and when they come home, they don't have time to teach or don't have time to read or don't have time for it. My whole thing is, well, what's the solution? How do we make sure that all these students out here understand history? How do we make sure that parents understand the history? Well, it starts by encouraging people to read.

That's number one. Okay? And I don't know about y'all, but no matter how poor we were growing up in the single-wide trail in Moscow, South Carolina, my father and my mother was always putting a book in my face. It was some form of literature that was being read. But that's one. Your mother was a teacher, though.

Absolutely. She was a teacher, so it's a lot different. But I had OGs around me, too. I had OGs around me who were always encouraging me to read. We should always encourage our people to educate themselves. We are encouraging that, but can it be more than one answer though of course it is but don't dismiss that kids can get uh access to books nobody's nobody dismissing kids can't get access to books i'm asking what's the solution we talk about the

problems all the time but what's the solution how do we help how do we make sure that a community of people can help and can teach because a lot of our education a lot of our history i didn't learn until i was a lot older so if i didn't learn it when i was a lot older when i mean a lot older i was in my 30s and started learning a lot about education and i went to an hbcu so the fact a lot of these people a lot of these parents won't have the time and opportunity to so as a community how do we make sure that these kids have that knowledge now that we know better uh we do better but there's never been a time where you know i don't care how poor we were growing up somebody was giving me a piece of literature they were always telling us to educate ourselves we was

educating ourselves through music you had you had a rapper was telling us to read certain books and certain literature when we was young yeah but then we could talk about mental health while some people really didn't understand mental health to our until 30 40 years old or even with financial literacy a lot of people don't know about financial literacy don't know about invested don't know about accounting don't know about any of that stuff and a lot of people get that knowledge from school but that's things that we can't be self-taught because we didn't know it we don't understand it but now we're figuring how that we can teach but a lot of people don't know the books that you're talking about so we have to give them out that's why we talk about them

that's why we reference but that is more than right but exactly so dj amy to answer your question i i hope that programs are actually created so for example i did a whole podcast about it where the naacp was discouraging people to come to florida and i was saying i wish they would spend time on developing an actual program to supplement um what they're taking out of the school system so you're right dj it actually requires a program. Y'all didn't have the book program in school? Right. They got the book program now. Does that mean that the literacy rate...

The literacy rate is terrible in Black and Brown. Right. So that's to the point of saying it's not that people are not encouraging people to read. It's not that people are not giving people books. The bottom line is, how do we get them to do it? And what DJ Envy is saying, how can we develop programs to be able to say, hey, this is what we want our children to know. I want another point. I want to point something else out here. Elementary school teachers, the elementary students, they're being taught just to recognize who Rosa Park is and Zell Hurston.

They're not even being taught what they did in history. They just want to recognize just their photo. So this is a real issue. And that goes back to my original point about how we have to self educate our children at home i've never i've never looked at any of these white institutions to teach my kids about black history i've never depended on that ever that's great well we have to take care of the collective that don't have the parents that think the way that you do and you've been blessed but everybody doesn't have that opportunity i learned that way i didn't teach before i was teaching my kids that people were putting that in me. That's something that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Elijah Muhammad, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, any great black leader we can name, Marcus Garvey, was telling us to self-educate our kids.

Right. You were blessed. That is front page news. Get it off your chest. That was spicy. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

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.

So y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages.

One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.

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. 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. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's a new day. This is your time to get it get your chest. Yeah, I got something to get off my chest. You know, I normally be rocking with Charlamagne. So he's been really enlightening over the years. But I feel like this assistant, he's his, you know, personal experience. And so, you know, the things that he had growing up and trying to generalize everybody as a whole. Like, everybody don't have, you know, the parents that put books in. And everybody ain't got OCD. Everybody ain't got the same situation.

Like, yeah, they got books. But a lot of them can't read. And it ain't even a matter of, you know, well, they got this and they got that. You know, we can put it in their hands. We got to self-teach. If they don't have the people around them that is what self-taught or got the knowledge to self-teach, how can they play a special forward to the next kid? Well, it's not a matter of saying, you know,

we're making a huge form or we're trying to, you know, reduce them to the lowest standard. This is the reality of the situation. And they're going to learn more because they don't know themselves. Well, that's two different conversations. Talking about the low literacy rates and talking about people not being able to read and being able to have access to books is two different things. We were talking about the access to books.

But nobody is pushing them to get to the books because those people don't have... You got people who never started reading until they was my age. I'm 40 years old. Well, let me ask you one other question, right? You say that I'm generalizing based off my experience. Aren't you generalizing based off your experiences too?

No, I'm not generalizing. I'm saying as a whole. Is there a reality of people that have the access and there's people that don't have the access? But I don't think you can put everybody together and say, you know, because you know that they have the access, that, you know, they're wrong. Because they're not pushing their kids to do it. Listen, you're absolutely right, but we're still having two different conversations. I'm talking about the access to books. Everybody has access to books.

We can give them the books. Now, when you talk about low literacy rates, that's a whole different conversation. Yeah, people have access to books, but you have to be encouraged to want to read books. And that's the problem. A lot of times we don't encourage to read books. Yeah, we had all those booket programs and all those different programs. But as a kid, I never wanted to read a book. I never wanted to. I'd rather be playing sports. I was playing basketball and baseball and swimming. And there was really my mother encouraged me, but I didn't want to do it.

I would rather be outside. Some kids have more encouragement and was and was able to read and able to get the knowledge. Even with that, you got to have your grades up. I could never play sports because my grades was messed up. So even with that, you got you still got grades up. Even with that, you got to have your grades up. I could never play sports because my grades was messed up. So even with that, you still got to push education is what I'm saying. Even if you still want to play sports in school, you still got to push education. And we had education. I mean, we were in school. You just said we didn't. No, I mean, I passed classes, and that was able for me to do things.

But I wasn't a reader at that age. I read more when I got older. But when I was a young kid, I did not want to read. I'd rather be outside with the sports. And the only time I honestly read was, you know, in the summertime when you had to read to do them book reports. I was that kid that I only read when

I had to. But you knew how to read. Yeah, people had books. But that brother called about this now, the whole other conversation. But you gotta encourage me. So, like, the difference between us and them is when I was a kid listening to radio, there was nobody on the radio So, like, the difference between us and them is when I was a kid listening to radio, there was nobody on the radio saying, hey, you guys should read that. Where somebody can call up here and you can say, you know what?

Read this book. Read that book. Read this book. Read that book. That's not true either, man. That's true. Tom Joyner was definitely, Tom Joyner was one of the biggest pushes at HBCU. Mine was Ed Lover and Dr. Dre in New York.

That's you. But Tom Joyner was a natural. I'm just telling you how I feel. I'm with you. What's up, y'all? What you gotta say Who's on the fly with Ellie Cendric It was totally different

The Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha God We are The Breakfast Club Let's get to the rumors Let's talk Dilly Da Ken Rumor has it

This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, for everybody out there that doesn't know, Gilly and Walla were actually supposed to guest co-host this morning with us. Yep, they're supposed to be here this morning. To talk about everything that they got going on and, of course, Gilly Fest. Next weekend, yep. about everything that they got going on and of course gilly fest but last weekend yep last uh night we got a call that uh gilly's son was killed in a triple shooting in philadelphia news out of only police are investigating a triple shooting that left one man dead and two others

hospitalized let's get to shana police headquarters with the latest on this investigation right now those uh identities of those victims have not been officially released by police, but we are aware of conversation, especially in the community, from local and prominent Philly community members who say that one of the victims that was killed in this triple shooting may be the son of a popular Philly rapper. So stand by for that. We're waiting on official confirmation there. But let's get right to the scene in the video, because this happened last night, just about 8 in the section of old knee in the corner of major uh basher and nedra street i should say just before 8 30 several calls came in police arrived to find two victims about a block about a block away suffering from gunshot wounds investigators tell us a 25 year

old man was shot in the back rushed to Einstein Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. First of all, condolences to, you know, Gilly and his family. And, you know, what hurts so much about this situation, as much as Wallo and Gilly do for the community of Philadelphia, as much as they pour into these young brothers and try to stray them away from, you know, killing each other and gun violence, to have his son be a victim of gun violence is tragic and a reminder that life is indeed not fair in no way, shape, or form. Not fair and too short. Wallo posted last night,

Lil' Cuz, usually when I talk to you, I got a lot to tell you. Tonight, the pain in my heart and tears spoke to you. I love you beyond life, Cheese. I got your father. Rest well. And we've said a million times, you know, you hear it all the time. Parents aren't supposed to be burying their children.

No. I've been alive for 45 years. That's all I've ever seen is parents burying their kids. And I'm sick of seeing parents burying their kids. But that is something that I just will never have

an answer for. And I don't know what the solution is no it's just very sad man like you said I could never imagine so you know

just pray for for Gilly and his family pray for for any all of the victims and it's just a very sad thing

25 years old and that young man was 25 years old he had a lot of life to live and it was taken a very sad thing and 25 years old and that young man was 25 years old he had a lot of life to live and it was taken away from him last night in philadelphia very sad and like i said as much as wallow and gilly do for the community of philadelphia like those are the two brothers who are always being the ogs out here putting their arms around the young boys telling the young boys you know put the guns down telling the young boys. Telling the young boys, you know, put the guns down. Telling the young boys, you know. There's more to life.

There's more to life. There's stupidity. Go out here. Do the work on yourself so you don't project that pain and that hurt on the other people. And something like that happens to this son, man. Like, Lord have mercy. Pray for me. I really prayed for Gilly this morning.

Like, for real, for real. When I woke up this morning and heard that news, I immediately started praying for, you know, Gilly and his family. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Salute to Gilly and Waller. I love y'all brothers, man. I really do.

I love y'all. I value y'all. And I appreciate y'all. And I tell them that all the time. Yeah. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. And then we got a new Travis Scott joint we're about to play in a second, too.

It's Charlemagne the guy. Yes. And let's jump right into it. Former Northwestern football players announced lawsuits over alleged hazing. Let's discuss that. Yeah, more than 15 former Northwestern University football players have joined a planned lawsuit against the university about alleged hazing in the school's program. The athletes detailed the painful emotional, physical, and sometimes sexual allegations against Northwestern football.

26-year-old Lloyd Yates, who was a quarterback and wide receiver from 2015 to 2017, said that physical, emotional, and sexual abuse was normalized. I want you to take a listen on some of the claims that the players experienced and I'll give you a little bit more information on the other side. It is apparent to us that it is a toxic culture that was rampant in the athletic department at Northwestern University. I mean, you have people holding them down, dry humping them. you had them being forced to participate in activities involving nudity and the touching of one another jesus yeah so that was attorney benjamin crump who is working with these players and wanted to just give a point you know because

there was a whistleblower that made this public. And so once the whistleblower came forward, everybody, you know, kind of joined in. Lloyd Yates particularly has received a lot of blowback from folks, you know, saying you shouldn't be speaking up. You know, he actually, from my understanding, is a legacy student. And for those that don't know, means, you know, he comes from a family that went to Northwestern. And so folks are really, you know, coming hard, coming down on him about, you him about speaking up and how he shouldn't speak up. He said that the culture was so strong that they had to go along with it

in order to survive being able to play. He said that if you spoke up, it could have affected time on the field and that the coaches were aware of the behavior. Has the university made a statement? Yeah, they did. Actually, Charlemagne said that they cannot comment on pending litigation but did issue a statement saying that the university is working to ensure

we have in place appropriate accountability for our athletic department. I mean, I think it's crazy because all these schools, I ain't gonna say all these schools, but a majority of schools have a lot of hazing, especially when you're joining these athletic teams or if you're trying to join a sorority or fraternity.

But it's just, you know, how much involvement does the school have? You know, I mean, because a lot of these are players passed on through players passed on that they think is, quote unquote, tradition. So I wonder how much, you know, how much does the school actually know when it comes to it? Yeah, well, in this particular case, they said that the coach absolutely knew and would just, you know, kind of kind of let it slide like a lot of schools do until, you know, they get caught and somebody speaks up. I just thought the story was just interesting because you hear a lot about women with sexual assault. And so I thought this was, you know, really important to bring to everybody's attention that it does happen to men as well, even in fields like, you know, football, you know, that you would assume, you know may not uh encounter those things with young men so let's just keep an eye on that story and make sure we you know continue to pay close attention to those things i've been dry humped up here what does that mean for me are you crazy no don't know

if you hunt you can hear well he also said uh showing uh pictures of nudity. That ain't never happened. Bro, you gave me an ass with testicles. That wasn't a picture. That was not a picture. That was not a picture. Alright, well let's talk about America's heat crisis. Yeah, I want to bring this attention. We talked a little bit about this earlier this week with the extreme

heat and climate change is real. I want to just bump this up quickly that they said this summer it has become America's new reality, brutal reality. But local, state, and federal aid programs and infrastructure, they're trying to help people cool that don't have air conditions. So the National Energy Assistant Directors Association, which represents state energy assistant programs for low-income Americans, said that there is no national plan to help lower-income families to transition to higher temperatures. The solutions they have are based on the shorter heat waves, and as the temperature continues to rise, they don't have any solutions, basically. So bottom line, they said that public policy has not caught up. A lot of

folks out there don't have the cooling necessary that they need, and so they're asking that more funding be put into those programs in order to make sure that people survive this heat. So just another example, the climate change is real. And this, you know, this rise in heat is affecting many people. Climate change is definitely real. And, you know, this is what happens. You know, you can you can say this is a poor problem all you want. But power outages can happen anywhere during a heat wave for a number of reasons. Absolutely. And the most obvious is because the power grids can get knocked out. You know what I'm saying?

So everybody turning up their air conditions at the same time can cause the power grid and cause the power to go out. And what kind of world are we going to live in if you've got to be in 115-degree heat and ain't no AC? Yeah. You already know people don't know how to act when it's hot. Well, you know, not only that, you got to think about it like this. You know, with the heat rising like that, that means power bills and electric bills are going to rise. A lot of people ain't going to be

able to afford it because it's super duper expensive. And the way electric bills and power bills look now, I mean, it's getting ridiculous. You can keep acting like, you know, these problems won't impact you if you got money or if you well off. You out of your damn mind. We're dealing with Mother Nature here, baby. Mother Nature don't care how much money you got money or if you well off. You out of your damn mind. We're dealing with Mother Nature here, baby. Mother Nature don't care how much money you got.

Not at all. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Thank you, Teslin, and you have a great week in TES. And make sure you subscribe to the Scrayshot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and follow Teslin Figueroa on all social media platforms. And she will be discussing all of the things that we talked about this week in depth on her podcast. All right.

And we're about to talk about one now, even though it is Freaky Freaky Friday. Yeah, we'll do Freaky Freaky Friday later. But we're going to open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. During front page news in the 6 o'clock hour, Tezla was talking about Florida Board of Education approved new black history standards. That teach how slaves develop skills for their personal benefit. Right.

And I think the question we asked was, how do you push back against this? What are some suggestions to better educate future generations on black history? Well, listen, man, I was always taught to never rely on white institutions to teach our kids. You know, and since white propaganda got people thinking that black people don't read and black parents don't encourage their kids to read i think we should discuss some ways uh to properly educate our kids like we know their literacy rate is low in black and brown communities you know we could talk about why that is um but we can also talk about people who can read have access to books and don't and nowadays man you don't even have to pick up a book and physically read you can listen to audible books right you know you can listen to the autobiography of

malcolm x you can listen listen to the miseducation of the negro by carter g which you know you can listen i don't think they got a message to the black man because yet but you can listen to a lot of these great books nowadays yeah and i was saying earlier that you know that that's maybe it's something like maybe doing classes at the church where black families already go to anyway on sundays and i remember as a kid we used to go to the church and they used to have music classes on one day and reading classes on this day. But, you know, what are some suggestions to better educate future generations of black history?

To that point, the Bible is some of the first literature that people read. Some of the first thing that people learn to read is actually Bible scriptures. Growing up as a Jehovah Witness, I was reading Bible scriptures. I was reading the Awake magazines and the Watchtowers. They had this big yellow book called My Book of Bible Stories. It had all of these pictures in it. That could

be a start. Yeah, but we got to encourage it because when I was a kid, when I was in church, nine times out of ten, I was sleeping. Or when Jehovah Witness or seven-day events would come ring the doorbells, we would not answer the door or, you know, or we wouldn't take the pamphlet or we would be I mean, we'd be very disrespectful in Queens. But, you know, we have to start educating our community. And let's discuss that. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

What are some suggestions to better educate future generations on black history? Let's discuss as the Breakfast Club. 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. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us,

we were talking about something in front page news earlier today. It was the fact that Florida Border Education approves new black history standards that teach how slaves develop skills for their personal benefit. So we were talking about since they're pulling pretty much black history out of schools now and pulling out the books and don't want to teach black history. What do we need to do as a community to make sure that our young kids actually know what went on in black history and the future generation and how do we educate them that was the question that we were having this morning well you know like i said earlier you know you can't depend on white institutions to teach teach our kids you know that is something the nation of islam and other great black leaders have been telling us since the beginning of time uh for me i feel like we just got to

encourage our kids to read you know we have to recommend books for them to read i was blessed to have a mother who was a jehovah's witness and an english teacher so you know she she kept the bible in my face and watchtowers and awake so that was the first literature i was exposed to then we had the bookie program when i was a kid in elementary school and i was reading four books to get a free pizza and my mom told me read things that don't pertain to you that's when i started reading judy bloom and beverly clearly and all that stuff and then my pops you know he gave me books like the autobiography of malcolm x which led me down a rabbit hole of wanting to know everything i could about the noi but also any book that i saw malcolm

x reference i read it you know and i've always done that if i read a book and then they reference another book in that book then i'll go read you know that book that's why i thought you know when somebody like nipsey hustle was alive you know he was so brilliant because nipsey would always reference different books in his interviews nipsey hustle even had a book list that that he put out you know and i think that's that's what you have to do you just got to encourage you know our kids to read and recommend them things to read yeah i agree with you i said earlier that i think we need to develop more programs like even in the church right a lot of black families go to church together and and have those days where we teach about our black history and black heroes but also

i think as parents i think parents need to to knowledge themselves you know because it's very difficult to teach your child if you don't have the proper history. It's like anything else. Like, you know, my father's a retired police officer. He was able to teach me laws when I was a kid and teach me about just things as far as, you know, what to do if I get pulled over, what laws mean and how the judicial system works because he was part of it. Same thing with my kids. You know, I have a daughter that's in the school, you know know in college right now for real estate and just passed her exam i have a son that that is doing real estate now and sold his first house but like these are things that they learned from their father uh but like you said i think we have to educate ourselves so we can actually educate our

children because there's a lot with black history that i'm still learning now same here because i honestly wasn't taught as a child i envy uh people who've gone to African-American studies. You know what I mean? I love the way, you know, somebody like an Amanda Seals can just reference history so quickly. Somebody like a Michael Eric Dyson. And, you know, we know the literacy rates in black and brown communities are high. That's a whole other conversation. That's actually why Kevin Hart and I started our company with Audible SPH Productions.

Because, you know, I think that sometimes it's not that kids aren't reading. There's just other ways for them to get that information. So instead of reading nowadays, people are listening. So it's like I always had the idea, even though we did put out Finding Tamika and some of the 85. Some of the 85 is about what happened,

the MOVE organization in Philadelphia. But I always thought that kids could take in this information by listening. I that kids, always thought that kids could take in this information by listening. I lost my train of thought just now. How the hell I lost

my train of thought like this? Because you wasn't listening. Oh, no, I was saying I think that kids can learn more by listening now than actually picking up books and reading. Yeah, and...

Oh, and I wanted celebrities. That's what I was going to say. I wanted celebrities to do the audio books. Right? That was an idea we had when we launched this company, Oh, and I wanted celebrities. That's what I was going to say. I wanted celebrities to do the audiobooks. Right? That was an idea we had when we launched this company, have celebrities reading audiobooks. Right.

And, you know, Audible kind of took the idea. They had Laurence Fishburne read the autobiography of Malcolm X. But that's fine as long as it happens. You know? But you know what, too? And I would also say this for a lot of parents. A lot of times we take our kids to, you know, on vacation. And vacation can mean many different things for many different people.

It can mean taking them to Six Flags. It can mean taking them to Miami for Disney World or whatever. And I think sometimes, and that's fine, but we're going to have to think of alternative things to do. You're talking about experiences. Right, but like going to museums, like the museum that just opened up in South Carolina. International African American Museum. The one that's opened up in D.C. And even the one in South Carolina I want to go to because there's so much history, right? You learn that's where the first ships came

that a lot of us touched down on on this land. So I would love to learn that history. I've been fortunate enough to go to Africa and fortunate enough to go to South Africa and see these different places that, you know, from where Bob Marley was in Jamaica to where, to where trying to think of some of the houses that we went to over there so many different houses

even with that and you're absolutely right what you're saying but just speaking from a person who has the financial means right but that's what I'm saying like instead of maybe going to Six Flags going to the museum and sometimes those museum that prices are not that expensive they're $10 for a ticket and I'm sure a lot of times they do it for free just to teach our own. But just experiences like that, that we can actually see, touch, and get the proper knowledge. How about do something as simple as go get a library card? That's true.

You know what I'm saying? Go get a library card and then go look up some books to go get. I always tell people all the time, start with the autobiography of Malcolm X. There's a great book that I read when I was young called From N Words to God by Akil and the way that he wrote the book he wrote the book the way we actually talk you know what I mean so it was like he's cursing it and he's using street vernacular right but he's educating at the same time you know I mean like everything don't have to be 18 letter Shakespearean words right for you to learn like I was able to go to Nelson Mandela's house I was I was able to go to where Nelson Mandela grew up so i was able to see it but i had the means to do it but before i had the means

my mom had me in those museums let's go to the phone lines we got jamisha on the line jamisha good morning good morning good morning jamisha hey cj mv and charlamagne i got i want to first say that i love you guys and i listen to you guys every morning. Thank you very much, Jamisha. We appreciate it. Yes. So I just wanted to chime in and just give my advice. I am 37, just to give you guys an idea of where I'm coming from. I'm a mom of a three-thing boy, and I try to just share stories with him because the literature out there is not very fun for the kids to read or interstate. So I feel like it starts at home.

We as the parents have to be encouraged to learn it so that we can then simply verbally share those stories with our kids. So that hopefully when they get older, they'll read those stories or watch those movies that we watched when we got older. Or sometimes when we were even younger and we didn't understand what was going on. Totally agree. So I agree that it it i just feel like your thoughts there totally agree all right thank you i totally agree thoughts in the house hello who's this oh my name is jerry hey jerry good morning talk to us what's your thoughts good morning good morning good morning first of all i wanted to say rest in peace because i son because I just lost my child's father through gun violence in February. Oh, man. Jesus. Sorry to hear that. I understand where he's coming from.

But I think we have to meet kids where they are. There's like so many social media apps, TikTok and stuff like that. I feel like maybe artists in different assets or just different people in the media in general should start maybe relaying Black History Tag that way. You have to meet these kids where they are. You're right, but you do realize on TikTok, one of the biggest things on TikTok, I don't know what you call it, is book talk.

Yes, it's hashtag book talk. It's hashtag book talk. Even when I'm putting out books on my own or through my imprint like they these these public these barnes and nobles and simon and schuster's they always talk about book talk they want book talk to be talking about their books because it's so big right so these kids are having these conversations yeah and those are the conversations that i love and let's open up the phone lines again 800-585-1051 what are some suggestions to better educate future generations on black history?

That is the question. And I just want to say one thing. It's like, sometimes, you know, what's the saying? Sometimes your skinfolk

ain't your kinfolk. Your skinfolk ain't your kinfolk. And the reason I say that is because a lot of times I see people trying to educate and people, the first thing they say

is, oh, it's a lie. Like, and I remember when you started talking mental health, right? And people were like, oh, he's just doing it for a check. He doesn't really care.

He just had any other. I ain't never got paid nothing from it. And this man has gave up his, I don't want to say gave up his life, but he's put his life in books to explain and to see how he's felt. And he's done so many things. And the same thing with me and trying to teach people about real estate. It's like when we try to do these things, we try to really put on for our community so that we can learn to get the education that we didn't have and we're not saying that we know everything but we just want to open the door for you guys to start reading to start doing research on these things to start asking questions just ask questions that's all we want and we'll take your calls when we come back it's

the breakfast club good morning it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us uh this conversation comes from uh front page news now florida border education approves new black history standards that teach how slaves develop skills for their personal benefit uh so obviously they're trying to take our black history out of the school system and we're asking you know what is the solution you know how can we change that we already told you you know you can't depend on white institutions to teach your kids

you know i mean like we have to start encouraging our kids to read and we have to recommend books for them to read at home you know another good thing that i do you know around our house is so much black imagery right you know i mean so you know you hear jess alari is making jokes about the big ass harriet tubman picture but that's true i got four daughters so i want them to see strong images of of black women so they'll they'll ask questions who is that you say oh that's harriet tub like the young lady said, then you can have a conversation about who Harriet Tubman is. And, you know, you hope that education continues on as they get older. Right. Well, let's go to the phone line.

We have Diane on the line. Diane, good morning. Good morning. How are you this morning? Doing well. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Mama? Okay.

Well, good morning, first of all, to everyone. I'm here on the DJ and the child and the God. Ladies, let's figure out. I just want to, good morning, first of all, to everyone here. I'm DJ, J-R-N-D, Salome Nagar, ladies and gentlemen, Figaro. I just wanted to say good morning. But I, myself, I'm a grandma. And my oldest child was older than you, Salome Nagar. But what happened is because of the climate, I'm retired. And I was faced with the opportunity to homeschool my 11 and 15-year-old grand. I've been doing this for a couple of years.

We were registered through the Board of Ed in North Carolina. I'm from New York, but my family is from South Carolina. I took it upon myself to incorporate black history as a subject. That's right. And I teach them. And we've been in all the books. 16, 19, black history is our social studies book. We do that.

We talk about history. We have this link, blackfacts.com website, which gives you so much pertinent information about history. We talk about that. We're in the Quran. We're in the Bible. Your book, Shook One, we're just all over the place. But I make sure that they know the foundation.

I also, because I've gone through something some years ago, I send out inspirations every morning, 6 o'clock in the morning. It used to be one or two people. It's now 150 people. And I do it one by one because I don't do two things. But what I do is I invite them on Black History. Not just for February,

but for every month. And we talk about things not just the normal things people would talk about Martin Luther King. Not that we don't talk about them, but we've gone into everything. We talk about the massacres. We talk about the history. So I do that. don't talk about them, but we've gone into everything. We talk about the massacres. We talk about the history.

So I do that. Growing up in New York, history was something that black history, we were a part of. There was a lot of feelings that there was a foundation of history, and we were kind of taught that in schools a little bit. That's right. But the rest, we didn't live. We grew up in that era. It's different now, and it's true. A lot of black families

don't need a history. A lot of them don't have time to teach their children. A lot of them do depend on the schools, but you have to be mindful of what's going on in the schools. They were able to see during the pandemic how they were handling that and then not being taught.

But you can't blame the parents because a lot of them don't know themselves. You're right, Queen. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. By the way, how old are you as a grandmother? I'm close to 70. Close to 70.

God bless you. I never thought I would be in this position to be doing this, but I embrace it. I love it. We love it too. We're glad that God kept you here to be able to do it.

That's right, Mama. Absolutely. Absolutely. You all have a blessed day, and thank you so much. Keep doing what you're doing. Have a great weekend, mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Rasheed out of Trenton.

Hey, what's up, brother? Talk to us. Hey, man. I want to give out a shout-out, giving people information as far as how to learn in history. But I got the easiest format for anybody. If you can't follow this format, you just don't want to learn. All you got to do is go to YouTube and Google KRS-One.

Then you can also Google certain songs because hip-hop has information on this. You got the Gravediggers, Pick, Sickle, and Shovel, where RZA actually break it down a whole slave trade of a song. That's all in the verse. You know, you got Sons of Man,

you got Killer Army. You know what I'm saying? You got Poe Righteous Peaches out of the train. Shout out Poe Righteous Peaches, you got killer army. You know what I'm saying? You got poor righteous people out of the train. Shout out to righteous people. You got killer Mike. You got early Ice Cube. You know what I mean?

Exactly, early Ice Cube. But you're right, public enemy. You got our California. Public enemy. Public enemy. A lot of those artists

are artists that are our era of artists where people are saved. Like, you know, like you said, Karis One, you know,

Karis One, where he's breaking down. I want to play that Karis One you must learn you got you must learn you must learn we're gonna pull that record up he breaks down all the you know he talks about you know who created the stoplight and who created this and this that and the other but exactly along with all black cop and even even uh like you said you must learn but listen i know it's our era but still if you try to learn and you listen to hip-hop well this is the lazy way for you to do it all right i'll

give them another you're absolutely right i'll give them another suggestion google kendrick lamar's reading reading look reading reading recommendations google nipsey hustles reading recommendations i'm looking at kendrick's right now. Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Things Fall Apart. The Black and the Berry by Wallace Thurman. Roots by Alex Haley. The Color Purple by Alice Walker. That's Kendrick's reading list. So it's not like we don't have people out here that

are encouraging people to read. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is what I said earlier. You can't rely on white institutions to teach your kids black history. You know what I mean? You do have to do a lot of self-education at home man and i also want to say please let's stop repeating white propaganda talking points in regards to black people if we start having conversations about black people self-educating and encouraging each other to read please folks let's not start saying black people can't read and black parents don't teach their

kids to read that's not that's nonsense and that's not all the way accurate you know i'm saying all these people who called up here you know telling us how they teach their kids at home the grandma who said she homeschooled her kids and taught them black history y'all give me a lot of hope there's nothing dumb about us there's nothing uneducated about us don't listen to these white propaganda talking points about us and and and in regards to literacy and please don't repeat them man all right all right when we come back we got your rumor report uh dwight howard he's uh in a sticky situation we'll get to it next nasty what not dwight howard you because the way you worded that what you know what you just did i just said i was stupid you like to play dumb i said dwight

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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records,

Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. 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. Did you know, did you know, I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman.

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. I believe that if you teach in history, deal with straight up facts, no mystery. Teach the student what needs to be taught. Cause black and white kids both take shorts. When

one doesn't know about the other one's culture, ignorance swoops down like a vulture. Cause we don't know that you ain't just a janitor. No one told you about Benjamin Banneker, a brilliant black man that invented the almanac Can't you see where KRS is coming at? Where Eli Whitney, Holly Solasi, Grand Bill Woods made the walkie talkie

Louis Laderman improved on Edison Charles Drew did a lot for medicine Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights Harriet Tubman freed the slaves at night Madam C.J. Walker made the straightening comb But you won't know this if you weren't shown The point I'm getting at, it might be harsh, is we're just walking around brainwashed. See what I'm saying? It's not to dis a man. We need the 89 school system. One that caters to a black return.

Because you must learn. Yes. Cast one. You must learn. I just thought it was a great time to play that song after the conversation we just had. I'm not mad at it. And like I said during that conversation, you know, go get some book recommendations, man. You know what I mean?

I recommended Nipsey Hussle's reading list for y'all. I recommended Kendrick Lamar's reading list for y'all. But those calls made me feel good. I'm not going to lie. I like that people are self-educating their kids at home because you cannot rely on these white institutions to teach your kids about black history okay and i also want to say um salute everybody in charleston south carolina man i will be there uh next thursday for the low country mental health conference uh salute the man john tecklen, man. You can go to lowcountrymhconference.com

to see what they're doing all weekend. It's from July 26th to the 28th in Charleston, South Carolina. They have in-person and virtual viewing options, man. So they've been doing this in Charleston for like 12, 13 years. And I had no idea until I was having a conversation with Mayor Teck

a couple of weeks ago when I was home a conversation with MedTech a couple weeks ago when I was home in South Carolina and he told me about this. So I said, Joe, we're going to help you amplify that and I'll be there

to welcome people on July 27th. So go to lowcountrymhconference.com and I'm doing a book signing there as well. You know,

I was just, after having that conversation, I was on the phone with my assistant, Mercedes. Shout out to Mercedes. Bigfoot Mercedes. Yo, shut up, man. Shout out to Mercedes. Bigfoot Mercedes. Yo, shut up, man.

Mercedes is 6'3". Stop it. 6'3", size 12, and men. She play basketball. But we were talking about, since we were talking about to create a place where people go, and my car show, we bring 10,000, 15,000 people together. We were thinking about doing some kind of book swap, where people can actually come in and get a book, and leave with a a book where they can actually read the book.

And we get people to donate books so that we can continue to pass around the knowledge and the history. So we just got to figure it out. It was just an idea that came to both of our heads when she was listening this morning. So I think that would be a great opportunity because we always talk about the church and places where we are. And I think that would be a great opportunity where, you know, a family can come and they can take a book, you know what I mean, and hopefully get some knowledge. And also there's so many other ways to take in information other than, you know, picking up physical copies and flipping pages.

I still, I'm old school, so I like flipping pages. But Audible, you know what I mean? Any of these, not just Audible, but any place you can get audio books. All these books we're talking about, the Autobiography of Malcolm X is read by Lawrencerence fishburne right now like you can go you know listen to it like the same way y'all like to listen to podcasts you can listen to your to these books that we're recommending so all right now when we come back we got to talk dwight howard uh it's uh don't do it don't don't do it don't do it just say you got a story about dwight howard

We need the Florida Board of Education to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a war with them. I thought I'd just say the Florida after the hour.

What the hell? Y'all know what I'm doing. We know what you mean. We know what you mean. All right, we'll get to that donkey today. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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

Magnum large-size condoms. WWPR FMHD1 New york and i heart radio station this is a miracle there is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community yes you are a donkey the latest on that police killing of a black man now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency.

Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. It's a breakfast club, bitches. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Friday, July 21st goes to the Florida Board of Education. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. And those folks is going to remain crazy because the current government they have is going to drive them that way. All right. See, the Florida Board of Education approved a new set of standards for how black history should be taught in the state's public schools.

Would you like to know what their new standards are? Let's go to Fox 35 Orlando for the report, please. So the Florida Department of Education Board approved several controversial rules for the upcoming school year. One of the biggest changes is to social studies standards for African-American history for kindergarten through 12th grade. The board had a task force rewrite the new African- American history curriculum. The board feels they created a well-rounded curriculum that provides a depth of knowledge of what African-Americans have gone through. But there were many in the meeting that voiced their opposition to the new standards, including Senator Geraldine Thompson, who believes this was an effort

but not a comprehensive account of African American history. For example, she believes the Ocoee massacre will not be taught in a way that shares the whole story with both sides. I think we're shortchanging our students. It's the students who are going to suffer by not knowing the history and therefore not really embracing all of who we are. We can't celebrate progress unless we acknowledge the pain that came about with it. Very true, sister. If they aren't afraid of the full truth of american history and

how come they just won't tell it this is the latest nonsense in florida's debate over black history the education department already rejected a preliminary pilot version of ap african-american studies courses for high school students which which it claimed lacked educational value well i can tell you what has zero educational value and that's lies okay telling people that the enslaved developed skills which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit is a white devil damned lie slavery wasn't no vocational school nobody enrolled in slavery so they could learn a trade all right they make slavery sound like it was a welding class all right you didn't you didn't want to implement the ap african-american studies class because you said it didn't tell the whole

truth about American history. Well, these new standards y'all created aren't the true visa. You can't take credit for the strength and methods of survival that slaves learned based off a matter of necessity. They had no choice. Nobody taught them that. First law of nature is self-preservation. They just trying to survive. They gentrified our neighborhoods neighborhoods now they gentrifying our past and our history they really trying to take credit for how resilient we are as people after enslaving us could you imagine if you know when they were alive ike turner took credit for tina turner knowing how to take a punch how would that sound now let me give you an example of something they want to teach you heard it in the news report uh okoe florida they want to talk

about the 1920 okoe florida massacre and under the new rules they require that instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by african americans okay the massacre is considered the deadliest election day violence in u.s history and according to several histories of the incident it started uh when moses norman a prominent black landowner in the community attempted to cast his ballot and was turned away by white poll workers that's like the whitewashed version of what really happened okay what what happened was a mob of white supremacists murdered at least 50 black people for attempting to exercise their legal and democratic right to vote okay on november 1st the day before the election with their robes and their crosses the kkk the ku klux klan paraded through the streets of two black communities in

okoi uh and and they had megaphones and it was nighttime and they warned that not a single negro will be permitted to vote and if any of them dare to there would be dire consequences uh if somebody walks through your neighborhood the night before an election and tells you that if you vote there's going to be dire consequences then the next day a mob of white supremacists kills 50 black people for voting that is premeditated murder ladies and gentlemen okay all right when you say acts of violence all right when you say acts of violence all right when you say acts of violence perpetrated against and by african americans please knock it off there was no violence committed by african americans in regards to the okoe massacre unless of course

you think black people exercising their right to vote is an act of violence and if black people did get violent on that day it was in self-defense of the white supremacist mob that was trying to kill them who the hell gonna stand around and just die okay what these people are doing is trying to remix history all right these white people are trying to do what jermaine dupree and diddy have mastered definition of the remix we invented the remix whatever it is those white folks in florida are doing it all right they're trying to do it all right that's what they're trying to do right now. So to all the education and civil rights advocates who are pushing back against this, keep fighting. We respect it. We riding with you. But I have to tell you, we can't rely on white institutions to teach our kids. OK, every great black leader we've ever had has told us this.

You know, and we must listen. We cannot rely on white institutions to teach our kids black history. We have to self-educate our kids in regard to black history. We have to self-educate our kids in regards to black history we have to self-educate each other in regards to black history give book recommendations and encourage each other to learn as much about black history as human humanly possible why would i rely on my open enemy to teach me about me florida is showing us what happens when you do that. Please give the Florida Board of Education the biggest e-haw. You know what's crazy?

I've been here all morning talking about Nipsey Hussle's book recommendation list. You know, because Nipsey left us with a bunch of books that he thinks that we should read to educate ourselves.

Yep, yep, yep. And I didn't even realize I got my Nipsey Hussle chain and a Nipsey t-shirt on. I mean, I know I wore it this morning, but I didn't know we were going to be having these conversations. Conversations. Yes. All right. Salute to Nipsey, man.

Long live Nipsey Hussle. Absolutely. Educate yourselves. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today and shout to BET. We'll see you guys on Monday. Mm-hmm.

Everybody else, it's Friday, so you know what that means. It's freaking, freaking, freaking Friday, so you know what that means. It's freaking, freaking, freaking Friday. I learned something new this morning. What's that? I didn't know there was a water mouth emoji. Water mouth emoji. You showed me that when you showed me that text conversation. Text thread between a legend.

So we want to know what emojis do you send when you're trying to be a little sexy? When you're trying to get it in? Yeah, what does that mean? I would be lost.

I'm going to be honest with you. I'm 45 years old. I'm so happy I'm married and been with the same woman for 25 years because I would be lost trying to figure some of this stuff out. Your eggplant type emoji, like a small eggplant. I could see you sending that to somebody. What you seen? You seen my bulge or something? Like, why would you say that? emoji. Like a small eggplant. I could see you sending that to somebody. What you seeing? You seeing my bulge or something?

It's Freaky Friday. It's Freaky. Call in now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on 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 talking about some emojis you send if you want to be spicy with your significant other. Now, I was realizing, I don't send emojis. I told you want to be spicy with your significant other no i was realizing i don't send them i told you i'm a meme guy i told you i was going through my phone looking at all the stuff i sent my wife i sent her one that said n words run from poom poom too that's why they change positions so they don't peanut quick i know what you yes i know what you mean oh what don't curse don't curse brother on my phone my phone i didn't know i was on oh what's up bro bro? Talk to us. Yeah, yeah.

I'm talking about the emojis, right? Yeah, what emojis you sent her? I sent two of them. I sent her a boxing glove with a little sleeping emoji. Oh, the boxing glove? You're going to beat it up? Beat it to sleep. And now I think about it, I think I should add a third one, like a breakfast plate or

something. What happens when she knocks you out in the first round? Then she's cooking breakfast in the morning. Okay. I like that. That's good. That's a good idea, yo. What's that?

Because that gives you incentive to put it down. Whoever puts it down gets breakfast cooked for them in the morning. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. I like that. Exactly. Exactly. All right, brother.

Hello, who's this? It's Desi. Hey, what's up, brother? We talking about the emojis you send to that special somebody when you want to get a little spicy. They have the emoji that has like a little face that make it look like it's dripping sweat. And then you put a peach pretty much saying you're getting turned on from their ass. And then you got another one with their brain pretty much looking like your mind's getting exposed. And then you put

a brain pretty much saying you're gonna give them some bomb ass s***. I'm not gonna lie, I hope that your sex game is more exciting than this phone conversation. You sound very down. You sound like you've been smoking indigo all morning long. No, actually I'm on my way to work.

Okay. Well, have a good day at work, baby. Jesus Christ. All right. All right. Well, I guess the moral of the story is always keep it spicy, which is significant other, no matter what it is. I don't care how old you are.

Keep that childlike, immature, you know, nastiness going on. Yes. Okay? Yeah. Yeah. You should. And every time you pass your wife or your man or your husband, you should grab his ass, stick your little finger.

What? Let me stop. Brent said that sounded crazy. You encouraged me. That did sound crazy. You just couldn't leave it at wife. You was like, you're next to that. That's for women, too.

Anytime you pass your wife or your man, you grab his ass, put a little finger in his apple juice. That's a moralist story, man. You said it just now, man. You know what? What the hell is wrong with you?

When we come back, we are past the awks. All right, of course, Nala will be joining us. Nala Simone. We'll talk about some of the records that's popping. And I just want to give a salute

Nah, that's dope. You don't go to clubs, so you better listen on TikTok. You're right. I'm talking about my house. So what else we got? All right. So next we got Chika. She's from Alabama.

Neil told me to tell you guys not to say nothing crazy. What Neil? Neil that Bryson Tiller Neil? Yes.

You know Neil used to be my intern. What? Yeah. I did not know that. Absolutely. And we used to make him walk to Brooklyn for cheesecake. Definitely didn't make it. When we worked at Verge, he was one of the interns there.

You were one of those? Nah, he definitely weren't. He used to make them baked cheesecake. All right. That is not true. All right. Well, one of those? Nah, he definitely weren't. He used to make them baked cheesecake. All right. That is not true. You're the homie. Well, Neil's working with Ryan Trey, super dope R&B artist, and he has a record with Mariah The Scientist called Ain't Even Friends.

That's all? Yeah. That's all. Eli in the background is telling me that he's dancing. He loves Ryan Trey. That's all. Oh, he likes Ryan Trey? Who's Ryan Trey?

He must be signed to OVO. No, he's not signed to OVO. Oh, okay. Eli loves all things OVO. Everything OVO. No, he's not signed to OVO. Eli loves all things OVO. Everything OVO. Yeah, he does. Eli, let me hear some song earlier called... What was that song called?

Your Poom Poom Gay? No. What was it? Your Girlfriend Gay? My Girlfriend Gay? I'm Not Homophobic? He said, I'm not homophobic because my girlfriend gay. Yeah, something like that.

Yeah. You don't know that record? I played it too many times up here. He don't be listening. Yo. I know it now. That record is old. That's what I told him.

And that record moves crowds. Yes. I can see why. It's a dope tune. Yes. It's a dope tune. But nonetheless, if you like the dope tunes that I suggested today, make sure you guys download the Pass the Ox playlist.

You can find it by following me on Instagram, at Nylah Simone. Click the link in bio. And there's playlists there. There's podcasts there. There's, you know, Amazon shows there. It's a lot. And I need to say this on air because if I don't say it on air, Nylah not going to be moved to do it. Nylah needs to do Past the Aux live.

She keeps saying she wants to do Past the Aux live. I want her to do it. Okay. Meaning that a lot of these new artists that she's playing here on Friday invite a couple of them to come up here and perform. Come to New York City, perform, hosted by Nyla Simone. What's up, Nyla?

You never know, we might show up. But I just think she need to do Pass the Aux Live. I think that'll be a good showcase for a lot of these people that she's playing. I don't see those in New York like I used to. There used to be these times where you would see these SOBs all the time exactly

exactly they used to do those up-and-coming shows I think you should do that Nyla even though you've been planning to do it but won't execute it well the issue with execution is finding a venue SOBs why don't you go reach out to SOBs SOBs is still open right right we got the lounge here we got the lounge here don't you know'll talk about all that. I'm just pushing Nyla to do it. That's all. And I would like to know, would artists participate? I'm sure they would. The artists that Nyla has been showing support to

on Past the Ox Live, showing support to on her Amazon show, Rotation Roundtable, her amp show. What's the amp show called? Rotation. Oh, that is it.

I thought you were in game One's Rotation Roundtable and then one's Rotation Radio. The moral of the story is Nyla shows a lot of love. They would support it. They would do it. So I want these artists

to pull up. I don't know. Nobody cares about DJs anymore. We would back you. We would back you. They clearly care. Every time you do Past the Ox on the radio,

these artists be happy to hear that. Yes. Or mad. So let's take it a step further. Past the Ox Live. Let's do it. You know what I mean?

All right. No pressure. No, all pressure. I see. That's the point of me doing this on air. All pressure. All right.

All right. Well, we appreciate you, Nylah. Thanks, A.B. All right. The People's Choice mixes up next is The Breakfast Club. I see. That's the point of me doing this on air. All pressure. All right.

Of course I know who Joe DiMaggio is, but y'all know your Uncle Sharla. I keep telling y'all, you have to be committed to not knowing who white people are because they do it to us all the time. They will confuse Lufa Vandross with Master P. They will confuse Will.i.am with Jermaine Dupri. They do it to us all the time. Therefore, you have to give it back to them.

Either act like you don't know who they to give it back to them. Either act like you don't know who they are or confuse them on purpose. Got you. That's it. You know what I mean?

I started to say, oh, Joe DiMaggio, he's the guy that sings New York, New York, right? That's him.

That's the whole Blue Eyes, right? I started to do that. But the only reason I did it is because I like Frank Sinatra. So I didn't. All right.

So when they ask you about Taylor Swift, you say that's... Carrie Underwood. Okay. And then when they ask you about Taylor Swift, you say that's... Carrie Underwood. Okay. And then when they ask you about Carrie Underwood, you say that's Ed Sheeran. No, I say that's Miranda Lambert.

I put Ed Sheeran in the Beatles. So Ed Sheeran is one of the Beatles. So it's Ed Sheeran, Machine Gun Kelly, Elton John, and Sting are the Beatles. Yeah. I can see why white people don't necessarily like you're picking people. Mm-hmm.

All right. All right. Well, when we come back, positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Before we get up out of here, I just, again, want to send a rest in peace to Gilly, the

king's son, who passed away, who was killed last night in Philadelphia. Very sad situation. Man. passed away, was killed last night in Philadelphia. Very sad situation. Man. It was a triple shooting, and his son died. So very, very, very sad. I just want to send rest in peace and condolences to his whole family and continue to pray for Gilly. That's my man, man.

I love Gilly so much. I love Wallo so much, man. I'm sending him and his family healing energy, man. And, you know, what makes that situation hurt even more is the simple fact that gilly and wallow give so much to the city of philadelphia those are the brothers that are out here encouraging you know those young brothers to put the guns down those are the those two brothers are encouraging these young brothers you know not to resort to violence and for something like that to happen um to his son man that uh yeah that that hurts on a different level man sending them brothers healing energy man absolutely all right well it sounds for positive

We've been talking to y'all all morning about how, you know, you can listen to audio books and stuff now. Well, now you can even listen to TV shows. And this is essentially a TV show that you can listen to via Audible. It's called Unleashed for Love. It stars Alicia Renee, Jessa Larry as Pretty Vee,

Portia Williams is on there. Giselle Bryan is on there. Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy play Alicia's parents. So if you have Audible, check out Unleashed for Love on Audible this weekend, man.

Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap because 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 moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
