Good morning, USA! Man, I'm blessed, black, and highly favored. How you feeling, my brother? I'm doing good, man. You know, yesterday when we left the building, our building was crazy because somebody was actually hanging out the window. I guess the feds did a raid, and he didn't want to get arrested, so he was hanging out the window. So I know a lot of our staff was actually stuck in the building. They shut the building down, so they were there for a couple hours last night. Oh, I got about it. That was last night? Well, yesterday. I should say yesterday.

Oh, yeah. I saw that yesterday morning. I looked out the window, and I saw, you know, for those that don't know, the Breakfast Club broadcast from New York City. So I looked out the window and I just saw the street blocked off and I saw mad police out. That's never a good sign when you're in New York. Nah, never. Never. Not at all.

So apparently, yeah, they said he was a suspect. I don't know what he was a suspect for, but he barricaded himself in a building and threatened to jump. Did he ever jump? I don't think he jumped. I know he was sitting on the windowsill, and they put one of those things that if you do jump or fall, you can land safely. I saw that. Yeah, so I don't know what happened. I didn't know if you had the story, but I know our staff must be tired because they were stuck in that building for a while yesterday.

Oh, no, I didn't follow up. I turned it off. I turned it off. I turned it off. You know, they asked me, was I still watching? And I just walked away from the television. I was intrigued for a little bit. Yeah, he was there for like seven hours, eight hours on that windowsill. He had to be hungry.

I ain't had that kind of time. Me neither. And I want to shout out to everybody in Memphis. Yesterday I announced my car show, the car show we're doing with the Young Dolph Estate, with Young Dolph's family, with Paper Route. And I mean, the way that those tickets are moving, I just want to say I appreciate you. We're going to have fun that day. We're going to celebrate Young Dolph's life.

You know what? I had a dream that my baby Peyton was playing me in basketball. And maybe that's because Logan played me in basketball the other day.

And then she dunked on me. So after Logan washed you, now you just got to fear all your children busting your ass. That's valid. Logan didn't wash me. He beat me by one point or two points. He didn't wash me. The washing is something different. The game was 7-7. He won 9-7 because you got to win by two. He didn't wash me. He beat me by one point or two points. He didn't wash me. The washing is something different. The game was 7-7. He won 9-7 because you got to win by two. He didn't wash me.

He busted your ass. I had a dream that I was at an airport greeting a bunch of people that I loved. And, like, me and one of my daughters was running up on somebody that we loved and gave him a big hug. And I just woke up feeling very happy this morning. So I'm in a good mood because of that dream dreams are important all right I think so anyway was I the one that you were hugging no I was actually hugging my good sister Dolly Bishop who I love dearly that's why I was hugging was I after her no you were nowhere in the dream sir oh damn all right no all right all right well

let's get some front page news when we come back Teslin Figaro will be joining us us. She'll be breaking down what's going on with all these airports and the cancellations. You remember that back a couple of months ago? Also, we'll be discussing, is this the time to look for a house? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Of course, we have Teslin Figaro. She's breaking down everything news with us. And we got to start off with Southwest. Now, what's going on? I know at one time there was a bunch of cancellations. There was a bunch of firings. What's the update? Absolutely. I wanted to give everybody an update. Good morning, Breakfast Club family. You remember earlier this year, Southwest Airlines canceled over 16 000 flights uh and so

i wanted to give an update on what southwest airlines put out this week they said they have unveiled plans to increase staffing and equipment to avoid the hot mess that went on that caused the mass cancellations and delays the ceo bob jordan said we understand the root cause that led to the holiday disruption and we are validating our internal review with the third party assessment so now they expect to reduce the risk to make sure that it never happens again and as a reminder southwest airlines holiday chaos costs the company as much as 350 million dollars so it definitely hit them in the pocket and now they say they're they are getting it together and i'm excited about that because i support southwest

unlike charlemagne uh so we'll see what's going to happen with that and hopefully they'll get it together what you mean support like i want better for you test like you take southwest southwest you get on the south first of all southwest airplane is a bus in the sky take southwest southwest you get on the south first of all southwest airplane is a bus in the sky it is and then when you get on there you got to play a game of musical chairs do they play still play musical chairs when they play the music well i don't because i am i don't i'm an a plus preferred member sir so i get my my seat first and i'm totally okay with getting what i paid for including if that means my flight is canceled 26 times so it's okay do they have so they gotta they oh go ahead do they have food on that flight uh we have pretzels snacks and pretzels is more than enough so they got a member i didn't know they had a membership

thing where absolutely yeah real talk though i use uh south west credit cards uh for every purchase that i have so i have a companion rate as well so i've got credit cards they got credit cards for every purchase that I have. So I have a companion rate as well. Southwest got credit cards? They got credit cards? Yes. Yes. And I can, hey, y'all joking, but anybody can ride. My daughter can go on any flight with me for $5.20. You can't beat that. Yes, you can.

Because for that $5.20, they cancel your flight at the drop of a dime. That's why I don't rock with Southwest or Spirit because they can just cancel your flights on any given day for no reason. Now, hold on. You're not going to put them in the category with Spirit. Now, that's another level. Same, same. Spirit is front tier.

Same thing, Ted. Spirit is a lot more front tier. I can't even believe Southwest had the nerve to refer to something else as a hot mess. Look in the mirror, Southwest. Jesus. Now, let's talk about the housing market. How is the housing market looking? Yeah, I wanted to give an update on this.

I know you'll appreciate this dj mv uh the year over year price for existing homes has declined last month for the first time in more than a decade uh as sales jumped from 14 as sales jumped 14.5 percent and ended a 12 month fall now data released by the national association of realtors on Tuesday, showed that the drop for the median existing home price dropped by 0.2%. The drop ends a streak of 131 months of consecutive year-over-year increases dating back to February 2012. Now, you may ask, where are these homes? And I'm glad you asked that question.

The median prices of existing homes fell the most in the western part of the United States, dropping five point six percent. But the median prices rose by five percent in the Midwest and by two point seven percent in the south when compared to 2022. So it appears it is definitely a buyer's market. Yeah, definitely a buyer's market. But the only problem is, yeah, market yeah definitely a buyer's market but the only problem is yeah the house prices are going down but the interest rates are shooting up at one time people were getting interest rates for 1.9 2 percent 2.2 percent now interest rates are 5.5 6 percent 6.5 in some areas and the problem is that's a big difference of like 700 for a lot of people so if you were looking to buy a house that's you know 2100 a month let's say now with

the interest rate so high you might be paying paying twenty eight hundred, twenty nine hundred dollars. So even though the houses are going down, interest rates still got to go down a lot, too. And it still feel like the only people who can buy houses is the people who can afford to buy them. Like it's not like, you know, people that are, you know, I guess poor, you know, are people that aren't making that much money. They still can't they still can't buy a house because I highly doubt the banks are giving out loans right now. All right. They are giving out loans, but it's very difficult to get those loans and they're requiring more money down. A couple of years ago, you can do an easy loan with putting three and a half percent down, even 10 percent down. Now, if you want those type of loans, there's so much that you have to show.

So you're absolutely right. And like you said, it's it's it's not even the fact that the houses are going down. The interest rates are going up so much. So what people can usually afford a home with the interest rates is going to make it very difficult. Or they're going to have to pick a house that's a lot less cheaper than they want it. I highly doubt they're doing government backed mortgages right now either. Are they? Are they? Probably super difficult to get those. They're doing that as well. But it's super difficult. Anything coming from the bank right now, car loans, house loans, or anything that you're trying to do is very difficult. They're really checking in because they want to make sure that people can actually afford it. And in a couple of years, if the market does fall more,

that people are not foreclosing or getting their car repossessed. So the only people that can buy houses right now is people that can afford to waste money, basically. Well, not waste money. Have some extra money to spend, basically. Have some extra money to spend and then have a job and a credit score that looks secure. Can I use my Southwest card? No, your Southwest card is not going to work. What's up, Devin?

You're going to stop talking about Southwest. Let me give a quick shout out before we get out of here. Thank you for everybody who joined me on Instagram.

They've been disrespecting Young Jock's name, man. Y'all better put some respect on his name. First of all, it's a disrespect to the South, period. I've been seeing people with some really crazy hot takes about artists from the South, and I don't understand it.

Okay, but the Young Jock disrespect gonna stop. Alright, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Young Jock. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club. Now, Young Jock went viral the last couple of days. That's because he did an interview with Megan James and Megan James asked him a question about how he's getting his bread. So, Jack, how have you been able to sustain a like what, 20 year career off of one hit? Well, I got more than one. I got hit records. Tell me about them. First of all, man, I'm from South Carolina.

803-843-864 all day. I was outside, outside during the Young Jock era. OK, I learned the motorcycle dance and never looked back. So I don't understand the Young Jock, you know, slander. Are people saying Young Jock has one record? And I'm not mad at the young lady, Megan. She just simply didn't know. So that's why we got to be here to school her to the history of young Jock.

Because young Jock got a lot of bops. And he's been featured on a lot of bops. Yes. Can we play a few of those bops real quick? Let's play some of them right fast. Let's start from the one people know is going down. They know this one, right? Of course they know it's going down.

Play a little bit. And I'm sure that's the one she was referring to. Great. But then, listen, man, you're not going to go in any club down south at some point during the night and not hear Do You Bad. Hey, you got to drop a bomb to that, Red. Come on now. Come on now. You know you're going to hear Knock It Out at some point in the script club somewhere across the country, right?

Throw me one, Envy. Throw me one. Because you know I'm about to go with it. I know you see it. You can even throw Dope Boy Magic on if you want to. And you can get into the feature game with Young Jock. Of course you can play Buy You a Drink. You can go So Fly with 112.

So Fly with... David Banner, Stunned is a Habit with Chris Brown. Zoom with Boosie. Don't play with Young Jock, man. He has a lot of records. I will say, though, some of the records that you played, I'm sure if you're in the East Coast, you don't know some of those records. But me going to Hampton University, you know those records. You didn't spend no time down South.

Correct. You didn't spend no time down South. And I keep telling y'all, 60% of all black people are in the South. Y'all keep calling the South the Chitlin Circuit. Like, that ain't the heart and soul of black America. Knock it off. I don't understand the disrespect for your country cousins like that ain't the heart and soul of black America. Knock it off. I don't understand the disrespect for your country cousins. I don't get it at all.

Well, Megan James, she did apologize. She did apologize. She said, first of all, I want to apologize to Young Jot. My intentions were not to disrespect you during my podcast interview. I was honestly interested in your journey and how you've been able to stay relevant throughout the years. Yeah, I don't think she meant no disrespect. I just think that, you know, she's young and, you know, able to stay relevant throughout the years so yeah i don't think she meant no disrespect i just think that uh you know she's young and you know she just didn't know and i mean you know in this this era that we're in of media like that's just the way you know people

ask questions but you know personally if i was going to interview a artist and i saw that question i would make sure that that person indeed only has one record because Young Jock ain't that. Well, not only that, not only that, Young Jock makes money off of, of course, he was on Love & Hip Hop.

He does his own morning show. So you can see his relevancy that he is doing things. But maybe she just didn't know. She just didn't know. That's all. Shout out to Megan James. She didn't know.

And I was telling Jock yesterday, I said, man, you know, I told Jock you need to come up here to the Breakfast Club just because I don't like to disrespect to somebody's legacy in that way. And I'm not saying Megan disrespected him. I'm just saying that, you know, that interview sparked other conversations that I had with other people. And they were like, yeah, he do only got one song. I'm like, you ain't never been down south ever in your life. Clearly. Now, lastly, I want to talk about this 24 year old woman, Sydney Leday. If you don't know who that is, she was the woman that was shot the same night that Takeoff was killed out in Houston.

We played her, I think, about a month ago talking about the incident and how, you know, pretty much nobody ever mentions her name. You got the audio? Everything happened within a few seconds. And as soon as I saw a weapon, I tried to hurry up and get out of there. I remember running away and I felt I know where I stopped. I felt the sting in my head. I didn't realize what actually happened to me. And fortunately, I feel like I had on a wig and a wig cap. So I took the wig off and noticed that I had a lot of blood. I knew what happened to me,

but I just didn't really understand it to what magnitude. She was intubated in a coma for days. When you woke up, how was that feeling? What was that was that feeling like well the first two days they told me that they had to keep sedating me because i kept trying to get like basically get up and leave yeah and the reason she is speaking the reason people are doing interviews with us because she has over two hundred thousand dollars in medical bills uh that of course she wasn't prepared for she didn't think about she was just going out hanging out with her friends and she got shot in the head and and nobody's you's discussing her or helping her out. So she does have a page with a link to her GoFundMe where you can actually donate and help her out. Because it is a sad situation.

Just imagine if that was your daughter, your sister, your mother, anybody, a cousin, a niece, or whatever, went out to celebrate the party like anybody else. She winds up getting shot. Now she can't afford the medical bills. She can't afford the payments. And I'm'm sure they'll you know how it goes they'll start garnishing her wages and start sending notes and it'll affect her credit so if you have a little something a little spare change that can absolutely help this young lady out please do so i'm sending that young lady healing energy uh and i'm glad that you know we're highlighting her story but jesus christ envy you couldn't do that at another time.

We couldn't do that in another break. We was just on a high from all that Young Jock, and you're going to bring it back to trauma just that fast? Huh? Why would you do that? That's the way the world is, bro. That is not how the way the world is. You could have ended that segment on a high and did that another time.

Why do I have to talk to you like this with the cameras on? All right, well, can you pull up a Young Jock song, please? No, no, no, no, no. You can't go back to Young Jock after doing that. We could go down. You know, we could just go down. Oh, my God. You freaking, you kicking, you kicking.

You got a Young Jock song on? This guy, man. Pull up Young Jock. Pull up Young Jock. When we come back, we got front page news. Teslin Figaro will be joining us. Let's get into a Young Jock joint since we were talking about Young Jock. What we got? Do we have to get into it. Let's get into a Young Jock joint since we were talking about Young Jock. What do we got? Do we have to get into a young Jock? Yeah, we're going to play Top of the Hour first.

It's DJ Envyv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's time for some front page news good morning tesla figueroa how you feeling i am feeling wonderful good morning to everybody now we got a shout out to our people in la they say a rare tornado hit los angeles yesterday they said it was the strongest one to hit the county since 1983. Wow. Climate change is real, sir. They said it's been raining in L.A. for weeks, too.

Yeah, they said 17 buildings were damaged. They said 11 fire department personnel have been injured, and one regular, I guess, civilian was injured yesterday. So thank God nobody died. So that's a great thing. But a tornado in L.A.? Doesn't that just sound crazy? Not in this era of climate change. All right. Well, let's get to some more news.

Now, what am I seeing that black people are quiet quitters? What is that about? Yes, quiet quitters. Speaking of California, one California congressman actually wants to make the four-day work week a federal law and I know you guys have been talking about you know four-day work week. We talked about it earlier this week with Jason and so I wanted to just bring you some data to support that. So again a California congressman is actually trying to make it a four-day work week and this week Black Enterprise published a story about how new research shows that 63% of black

employees don't believe that hard work will help them get ahead in today's workplace and so they do something called quietly quit their job now the quiet quitting concept does not mean that someone actually leaves their job but it refers to a person that only does the bare minimum it also may indicate that the worker is unhappy with their current position and is prepared to make a job change. Now, the study pointed out that black employees have had to work twice as hard to get half as far, which leads to more stress, burnout, and ultimately leads to quiet quitting.

Now, the study found that employees who talk on their cell phones a lot, watch TV at work are signs of quiet quitters. And on Monday, I remember Charlamagne pointed out how everyone needed a break. And Jason was talking about, the guest host for the week, was talking about just find a job that you love. So I thought it was also interesting that this study found that 28% of black workers would rather take a pay cut of $20,000 if they could be guaranteed happiness at work. So until you find yourself in a better situation, I wanted to give you five

quick tips. This came from 37 ways to stay happy on your job, but I want to give you five quickly. Number one, spend your commute thinking of three good things that happened today and obviously listen to The Breakfast Club because your morning doesn't have to be the same. Two, spend your commute thinking of three good things that happened today and obviously listen to The Breakfast Club because your morning doesn't have to be the same. Two, remember your value. Three, make the most out of your weekend. And four, make sure you communicate with your manager, such as talk to them about possibly getting a flexible schedule. And five, last but not least, get a new job. You know what?

That's all great advice and great tips but i also want to add that you know even if you have a job that you love or you have businesses that you own that you love you still need to break people like you know like they say if you if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life it's still work you still need to disconnect you know for your own mental and emotional well-being every now and then so you know even even that is not all the way accurate when people say that and there's a lot of public policy uh that's going around the country that is really pushing this four-day work week so it is not just a conversation it is actually real policy that

could happen so as usual i encourage people to get involved on your local and state government that's where you see the most change in your life. Absolutely. Now let's talk about this car crash. What happened with this car crash? Yeah, again, speaking of local government, I wanted to talk about this story where three people are dead after the driver of a Lexus SUV ran from a traffic stop and slammed into a Honda serving as a rideshare lift at a high speed at a

high speed chase outside of Washington DC last week. Now the accident resulted in three dead and two hurt but it turns out that the Lexus driver received 43 speeding tickets and one for running a red light in all of in 12 I'm sorry in 10 months racking $12,000 months, racking up $12,000 in fines. Racking up $12,000 in fines. So let me say that again to be clear. 43 speeding tickets and one for running a red light in 10 months. Now, you may say, well, how did he get all of these speeding tickets and how did he get away with this?

It is because Washington, D.C., speed cameras, they're great at Genesis plates. The penalties are levied on the lights on the actual car and not the driver uh statistics show that deaths in the u.s uh road deaths in the u.s has hit a all-time high uh in 2021 while other developed countries are much lower so this is just another example guys again on the local level the local and state level uh they're generating a lot of money from these cameras uh but it is not necessarily keeping people safe all right well thank you uh tesla figaro and you know it's a tough one because like you said if my wife drives my car or my daughter's driving my car the ticket goes to the car not me personally which i do think

is fair because you never know who's driving the cars but if somebody's getting that many tickets they should definitely be suspending that that license that registration in that car or something absolutely i thought they used to do that i thought they used to take points off your uh then you have a certain amount of points you couldn't lose before they take your license yeah but the problem is like she's saying they're actually they're ticketing the car not the person because it's like if you drive my car and you speed it takes a picture of that car. I don't know.

I could say I wasn't driving. You was driving. My daughter was driving. Tez was driving. You just never know who's driving that vehicle if you're not pulling that license. Maybe they should start taking points off the vehicle. You know what I mean? So if your vehicle loses a certain amount of points, I don't know.

The owner of that vehicle loses their license. Because then that way, whoever the owner of that vehicle is, is going to be very cautious of who they let drive the car they're going to put real pressure on the person driving the car like don't you mess up in my car now i ain't got i can't lose no more points they're going to take my license sure but then that would create an issue of somebody being penalized i guess with something else but it's it's an interesting point and again you know the the the conversation out there with these uh cameras uh is is really that it's just a money making opportunity as well. So people have to just really get involved at their local level and bring those types of suggestions. You can do it every week in your local government and and get it off your chest and come up with better policy that keeps us safe.

In addition to, you know, being able, I guess, for the government to continue to make more money. All right. Thank you, Tesla anderoa, for joining us this morning. That's right. And make sure you subscribe to the Scrape Shot No Chaser podcast from Teslin Figueroa on the Black Effect iHeartRadio network. As she told you earlier, she goes in in depth and unpacks a lot of these stories that she tells us, you know, during the week on Front Page News. So go check out the Scrape Shot No Chaser podcast with Tezlin Figueroa. All right.

Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We were talking about quiet quitters, right? Yeah, quiet quitters. What do they say? 50% of the U.S. workforce is quiet quitters, probably more. Yeah, so we want to know, would you take a pay cut to be happy? Yeah, well, Tez just read a statistic.

She said, I forgot the percentage of people she said, but they said a lot of people would take pay cuts at work just to be happy. Yes, and that is the question. Would you take a pay cut at work to be happy? So I'm guessing maybe work someplace else where you don't make as much money, but you're happier. That is the question. Would you take a pay cut to be happy at work. Ooh, let's have that conversation when we come back. Let's discuss.

All right. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic.

Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. 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 open up the phone lines 800-585-1051. We're asking, would you take a pay cut to be happy? I guess they did a survey, and they said 70% of minorities, including African-American and Puerto Ricans and Dominicans and Latino people, said that they would take a pay cut to be happy. How much of a pay cut? There was a number attached to it? $20,000.

A $20,000 pay cut to be happy at work? Interesting. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Early on in my career, in my life, I wouldn't because that $20,000 meant everything to me. That might have been the difference between paying a bill or not.

So early on, I would have to just, you you know sick through it and just suffer through it now i'm more financially free i only do things that make me i say warm and cuddly that's my whole thing i need to feel warm and cuddly and if i don't feel warm and cuddly i don't want to do it yeah it depends on what you're making like you said and uh yeah the answer for me is probably no, because if I have to be here and be stressed out and unhappy, you're going to pay me for it. But I will tell you all, peace of mind is everything. And I'm not staying somewhere I'm not happy because the reality is if you're stressed out, pissed off, not happy going somewhere every day, you are reducing your days on this planet. Stress kills, anxiety kills depression kills and it kills you slowly so at my big age of 44 i'm not staying in no situation that stresses

me out but i also know that some of us have more options than the rest correct but the answer for me is uh no all right well let's go to the phone lines hello who's this hello hey what's your name good morning this is denetrius would you uh take a pay cut for happiness i sure did i was with my company for 23 years and i stepped down from being a supervisor i took a $10 pay cut and it brought more work-life balance for me and peace in my home there was no peace at work it was more so for me being able to have that work-life balance because we tend to forget that when we get into these companies working for everybody else. But it was more so work-life balance for me

and peace in my home and with my children. That be all. Peace of mind is everything. I respect it, Queen. Thank you, Mama. Exactly. Hello, who's this? This is Ed. I respect it, Queen. Thank you, Mama. Exactly. Hello, who's this?

This is Ed from Detroit. What's up? What up, Doe? What up? I was talking about the quiet and the quitters. So, in my experience, people quit their job, basically quiet quit anyway, because of lack of opportunity, and you get stuck. You get stuck in a position where there's no growth. I understand that.

How do you get out of that? So it's hard. Like you said, you can look for another job. Because like me, myself, I express myself to the manager and basically he basically says there's nowhere to go from here. So you just got to keep pushing, find something else. I went back to food personally. So I'm moving on to the next job.

See, that's dope, though. And what I like to tell people is that you got 168 hours in a week. So you might have one job that takes care of your reality, meaning you're working this job because you know that you're using that money to pay bills, pay your car note, et cetera. But then, man, you can use the rest of those hours in a week to pursue your dream or a hobby or something that actually genuinely makes you happy.

It is, but it is so hard, especially when you got a kid, wife, or, you know, other things. Once you get home, you trying to spend time with them, and that's it, really. I get it. Thank you, brother.

And that's what I was saying, you know, at times in your life, you don't have a choice, you know, because you got responsibilities and you got to make sure you can handle those responsibilities. But when you get a little financial freedom, you're able to make those decisions and outtake happiness over over any dollar. But let's answer the phone. We'll take your phone calls when we come back. Eight hundred five, eight, five, one, oh, five, one. The question is, would you take a pay cut for happiness? Would you leave your job and take a pay cut just to be happy just to be sane just to be you know uh free i could say all right let's 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. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking, would you take a pay cut to be happy? Now, this conversation comes from a front page story that Tesla Fair Girl was talking about, about minorities leaving their place of business because they just want to be happy.

Yeah, I mean, listen, happiness is everything. Peace of mind is everything. But I also know that I personally have more options than than than a lot of other people. So I can't speak to everybody's financial situation. But for me, I probably would want the money if I have to be in this situation that makes me unhappy. If I have to be in this situation that stresses me out, I would like to be compensated for it. But I just want you all to remember, man, there's nothing like peace of mind. I said earlier, stress kills. My doctor told me that I have to lessen my stress. My doctor told me that if I can, I should take one vacation a month.

That's that's how much, you know, stress can have an impact on your health. So if you want to have good health physically and mentally, you know, you got to reduce your stress load. So if that job is stressing you out, got to cut it. That's right. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Steve. Hey, Steve.

Good morning. Where you calling from? I'm calling from Florida, man. Palm Coast, Florida. Okay. We're asking, would you take a pay cut for happiness, brother? Yes, I would. I'm not only willing to do it, man. I've been praying for it. I're asking, would you take a pay cut for happiness, brother? Yes, I would. I'm not only willing to do it, man.

I've been praying for it. I had my eye on it for a minute. I'm trying to go to a job in Palm Coast where I live and stop having to travel all the way to Greencove, man, for a position. I mean, the job here pays good, but the work-life balance for the one in Palm that's only like 10 minutes away from my house, it just works better for me and my family. Wow, man. Well, hey, listen, I hope that your prayers are answered, my brother. I am I am, I'm not going to lie to you

and tell you I'm praying with you. I hate when people do that, but I am sending you positive energy, and I hope that you get that, uh, you get that you get that new gig, man. Absolutely. Yeah, I appreciate that, man. And on another note, I know that it's not including to this, but, man, I just want to big up y'all two kings, man. Y'all been doing a good job holding that thing down, man. I appreciate the service, man, for real.

Man, that means everything, brother. That means everything. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Nicole. Hey, Nicole. Good morning. Good morning.

Where you calling from? Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. All right. We're asking, would you take a pay cut for happiness? No. And here's why. I would love to, but my husband and I have five children, so we can't afford to take a pay cut.

My husband's a truck driver, so he is happy with what he does. However, somebody has to be home with the children so I switched I used to switch jobs a lot before I started to work from home but when I was in the workforce when I was working physically in the building I had set boundaries and I worked by a set of rules so if I work 9 to 5 those were my only hours so don't call me don't email me if you do i'll email you or i'll call you back at 9 a.m tomorrow um don't call me on the weekend don't text me on the weekend don't email me on the weekend i'll talk to you monday morning i don't volunteer for anything extra

outside of my job description um i wouldn't do i wouldn't do favors for people. I know it sounds mean. It is not mean. All I hear is healthy boundaries. I hear healthy boundaries. I worked with some folks who believed if they do more, they would get more. And I learned that that just simply wasn't the truth. When you go out for promotions i oftentimes i would get passed up for promotions and i took that personally and i felt like oh i'm doing all this extra work but

for what and i'm not getting the promotion or i'm not getting the the new job or i'm not getting the pay raise so i said this is what you pay me to do this is what i'm coming in to do and i was much more happier i left work at work and when i went, I didn't talk about it. I respect it, man. I respect it so much. It sounds to me like you just created healthy boundaries and you found a way to have, you know, inner peace. Like they always say, don't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace. And it sounds, it seems like you found a way to not let the behavior of others destroy you in a piece. Absolutely. And that was very important. And I encourage everybody in the workforce to do the same exact thing because you're not getting anywhere by stressing yourself out and taking on other people's energy and work for that matter. All right.

Well, thank you, Mama. I respect it. What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story for me, man, is like, you know, peace is not the highest goal in life. You know, it is actually the most fundamental requirement. So you have to find ways to have peace, even in these situations, because everybody's financial situation is different. Some people can't afford, you know, to take the pay cut and they have to go into a situation that they don't they don't like every day. But you have to do what that young lady just said.

And, you know, find ways to find peace in that situation, set up healthy boundaries, man, you know, but always remember, you know,

stress kills. Please remember that. Absolutely. Please, please, please remember that. So find ways to find peace. All right.

Now, when we come back, uh, we got your rumor report, Takashi six, nine, there's some updates in, in that, where they jumped him in a Florida gym. We'll give you the updates. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Actually Okay Alright well We got a rumor Rumor report When we come back We gotta give you Some updates

On Tekashi69 You know he got Jumped in the gym yesterday So we'll give you All the details Don't move It's the Breakfast Club Good morning

Good morning everybody It's DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy We are the Breakfast Club Let's get to the rumors let's talk takashi 69 rumor hazard rumor rumor hazard call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting 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 yesterday we reported that takashi 69 was at a gym in florida and three men beat him up beat him up pretty bad to the fact that he was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance but they

said it could have got a lot worse they said that uh the staff seen what was happening and rushed him into a safety area and then locked it down so he couldn't get beat up even more uh also they said uh it was pretty bad but they they said the sad thing about it is he's, I guess, a frequent, he frequently that gym. He works out of that gym all the time, and he said there hasn't been any issues. He said he's normally there for about 20, 30 minutes, and he said he kind of sticks to

the standmaster and then goes to the sauna. And he said he kind of does that every day, and you know, and I guess these guys probably seen him and, you know, got the drop on him. Hey, man, it could have been a lot worse for the simple fact for all the things that 6ix9ine has done and 6ix9ine has said, them guys could have came in there and just shot him. So, you know, that's how it could have been a lot worse. Yeah, that is absolutely positively true.

And like I said yesterday, too, man, you know, I said don't laugh at this situation. Learn from this situation. Of course, people are going to want to laugh and they're going to laugh. But you still should learn because it's a lot of y'all that this is absolutely going to happen to or could happen to. Because y'all just as reckless as this young man has been online. OK. And on your podcast and on your YouTube channels and everything else. So, you know, you need to be very cognizant of this situation and learn from this situation because this could be you.

And not only that, I would tell everybody out there, no matter what you do in this world, change your routine. You know, my dad is a retired police officer. And that's one thing that he says to me, my kids and family members. Change your routine. If you take, you know, a certain way home every day go another way home if you go to the gym every morning at seven o'clock maybe you know try to go at night after work and the reason is is people will follow and see what you're doing and they can absolutely positively catch you so change your routine this is not just about takashi 69 you and personally

if you go every morning and go get your coffee at seven o'clock maybe you know go at lunch and get your coffee or maybe go a half an hour early because people are always watching and you never know who's watching. Change your routine. I agree with that. And if your routine is inciting violence and your routine is threatening people and your routine is telling people to SMD and your routine is telling people come see you, you need to change that routine too. Okay? That routine gets old as well now we got to talk about a friend of mine low-key who we actually uh share the same birthday september 3rd

uh low-key that's my guy too salute the low-key nadeska low-key and eddie francis were discussing 50 set and little wayne if they were to go head to head at a versus battle i'm gonna say something and i'm gonna stand on it wayne don't have a get rich and die trying no no no he don't if we're talking about a versus battle right we're not talking about what we like we're not talking about what we grew up on we're talking about 50 cent this man is a mainstream monster wayne is a cultural mainstream monster but But when we talk about these hits, when we talk about these bodies of work, when we talk about these smashes,

I ain't saying 50 gonna wash Wayne, but if Wayne is not sequenced right, and it's not positioned correctly, that could be a very long night for Dwayne Carter. I don't understand all these slights to the south. I really don't.

What is low-key talking about? Yes, Lil Wayne don't have a get rich, but Lil Wayne has massive, massive amounts of hits. I love 50 Cent, but low-key, one album cannot win you a versus. What is he talking about? Now, I will say this. No, I ain't no will say. Cut it out. I'm going to tell? Now, I will say this. You know, I know we'll say this.

I'm going to tell you this. I will say this. He is right. 50 Cent has Get Rich or Die Trying is a classic album. But you can't sit there and act like Wayne don't have classic bodies of work and classic records. It wouldn't be a wash at all. And we can go through just some of them, you know, just off the top of the head. Bro, listen.

If he said, hey, 50 Cent against Wayne in a versus, meaning that you're taking in all their music, that's something that we would probably want to see. And I'm fine with that. But 50's going to need more than Get Rich or Die trying to go against one of the top five, potentially top three greatest rappers of all time. Lil Wayne could literally start in 1998 and 99 and come all the way up to the Young Money era. We're talking 25 plus years.

You will catch hell going against Lil Wayne in the versus 20 songs against 20 songs. Stop it, man. You got to put some respect on Wayne's name. But I will say 50 Cent and the Wayne Battler is not a slouch battle. It would be a great battle, but it's not going to just be a walk in the park for fifth.

Fifth's my guy. Especially if all you're bringing is get rich or die trying. If Lowkey was discussing 50 Cent's whole body of work, his catalog, the things he's written for G-Unit and Game, everything else, that's a whole different story. But just saying Wayne don't have a get rich or die trying, so what? That's the reason he was going to lose, yeah. You New Yorkers are some wild humans, man. We are. The way y'all love your own, I respect it, but let's not be delusional. We rep our town. But let's not be del was going to lose. Yeah. You New Yorkers are some wild humans, man. We are. Like, the way y'all love your own, I respect it.

But let's not be delusional. We rep our town. But let's not be delusional, man. Let's not get crazy. Now, 50 Cent will win that battle. But now we got to talk. No, no, 50 Cent. I love 50.

But 50 can't. No. 20 songs versus 20 songs against Wayne. It's 20 and 20. It's 20 and 20. I do. That'll be a great. It'll be a great battle.

Yeah, I think so. But come on man wayne wayne wayne wayne different bro wayne is different wayne different all right now lotto uh you know she was arrested for bringing a loaded gun to lex uh and you know people were talking about it because they said after she got arrested she copped on a 75 000 private jet to make sure she did her her party or her show well you know you know, she talked yesterday. They said that to get off of that case, that she had to take some type of class and some type of course to make sure that make sure that she was OK. And as you know, those charges would be dropped. But Lotto is actually talking about that and saying that there was none of that.

And she talks about her arrest in this audio here. I'm not gangster. Bitch, you never claimed to be gangster. Maybe I get money. The fuck? I got a nigga who suck these toes every night. Fuck this ass from the back. I cook.

Dropping a clue to Bon Filato. I respect a whole housewife. God damn it, it boy you know you can't say that right like like how many times do you have to actually take the class to know what you can say and what you can't say what did i say i just repeated what i don't say yeah no but we beeped out don't i i don't respect what lotto said She says she get her toes sucked. And then the next one is... Boom. Okay. Boom, boom from the back. There you go. And she's a whole housewife. Damn it. Drop on the clues, Bones, for Lotto.

My goodness. Okay. For all the men out there... That's the second dump. ...holding it down. That's the second dump. That's the second dump. Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to let you know...

Now, these two convicts have been in custody in Newport News for months, facing a bunch of charges, including but not limited to contempt of court, probation violations, failure to appear, credit card fraud, forgery,

possession of burglary tools, grand larceny. I mean, they're just both career criminals. Or should I say they made being criminal their career, okay? Because life is about choices, and they chose a life of crime it is what it is and i must admit they seem to be pretty good at it okay never mind the fact that they're in jail okay everyone gets caught at some point in time that's just the way it is but what kind of run do you have when you're out all right gaza and nemo in regards to crime especially like petty crime it seems like they up there with Jordan and Pippen, baby.

I mean, I'm talking about LeBron James and D. Wade like they are the Splash Brothers of criminology and their latest crime. Oh, their latest crime takes the cake. Or should I say pancake? What are you talking about, Uncle Charlotte? I know they've never been specific about what kind of cake people be taking, but I'm pretty sure it's a cake from a bakery, not a pancake. Never mind all that.

Okay, you want to know what I'm talking about? Let's go to WTKR CBS News 3 for the report, please. In what may seem like a movie plot, the Newport News Sheriff's Office says two inmates tunneled this hole in a cell wall to escape from the Newport News jail annex Monday evening. The Sheriff's Office says Arlie Nemo and John Garza were able to exploit a construction design weakness in the building and used a toothbrush and metal object to make the hole. Once outside, they scaled a security wall and got out.

The Jail Annex is a minimum security facility and the two were discovered to be missing during a routine headcount. But it was a tip from the public that led police to the IHOP on Mercury Boulevard in Hampton, where the two were apparently eating at about 3 a.m. this morning. Hampton police say the two were taken into custody without incident. Garza had been in custody since December on several charges, including probation violations. Nemo had been in custody since last October on charges including credit card fraud. Ladies and gentlemen, these men are career criminals. This is a crime, okay? But I don't know if that news report said it or not, because I wasn't paying all the way that much attention.

But these guys escaped jail with a toothbrush. A toothbrush. And guess where they went after they got out of prison, Envy? I heard. IHOP. Oh, they said it? Yeah, they did. Oh, I blanked out.

Something's wrong with my brain, Lily. But, Jess, I want to say that even though these men are career criminals and this is a crime, you have to admit, escaping jail with a toothbrush just to go get some IHOP? Legendary. Drop on a clothesline for those get some IHOP? Legendary. Drop on a clues bomb for those legends. I mean, come on, man. You went from the International House of Prison

to the International House of Pancakes, okay? You got to let a legend be a legend, baby. I can both acknowledge that this is donkey of the day worthy and legendary at the same time. These men exploited a construction design weakness with primitive made tools made from a toothbrush and a metal object, put a hole in the wall, scaled, went through the wall, then scaled over another security wall just to get some of those world famous buttermilk pancakes.

Man, drop one of Clues Bomb for them. I hope they had a full stack. Okay, $11.29 before tax, 690 calories. All right, I'm going to be honest with you. They deserve it all. Big steak omelet for those two. All right, 16.39 before tax, 1,040 calories. Give it to them. All right, center stack pancakes, 12.59 before tax, 870 calories. Give it to them. Now, do I think it's extremely stupid that they escaped jail just to go to IHOP? Yes.

But if you're already facing a bunch of charges and you're going to prison for the next decade or the next couple of decades and you really don't have no place to go if you actually escape, you just want to get out and get some fresh air, you know what I mean? YOLO!

Okay, YOLO. You only live once, alright? In this case, IHOP! International House of Pancakes. Please give John Garza and Arlie Nemo of Newport News, Virginia, the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh now you are the donkey

of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. I respect it. Let's play a game. You want to play a game?

I do. Oh, okay. Well, let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. All right. We got 37-year-old John Garza and 43-year-old Arlie Nemo of Newport News, Virginia. They both escaped prison just to go get some IHOP. DJ Envy. Guess what race it is.

I'm going to say white. What makes you think they white? Honestly? Mm-hmm. I would hope you're being honest. I think black people would have went to Waffle House. You crazy. You're crazy and you're being honest I think black people would have went to Waffle House

you crazy you're crazy and you're disrespectful in the south don't act IHOP don't act like IHOP ain't IHOP bruh

but if you got a choice you go to Waffle House you ain't gonna go to IHOP no actually actually what if I had a choice I'm going to IHOP

me too but in the south we go to Waffle House when you're in the south you do Waffle House I'm South Carolina born and raised I'm going to IHOP. Me too, but in the South, we go to Waffle House. When you're in the South, you do Waffle House. I'm South Carolina born and raised. I'm going to IHOP. Okay, I can think of plenty of nights in Columbia, South Carolina,

when I went to IHOP over everything else. And I know the IHOP on Mercury Boulevard. They usually open 24-7. You know, I went to school in Hampton, Virginia, so I know that IHOP. But when I'm in the South, I got IHOP in New York. I'd rather go to Waffle House and get my chicken and waffles. I know black people. They go on the...

Are they white or black? They're Caucasian, sir. See? I knew it. Okay. I wasn't. But I just... I don't think IHOP and Waffle House is a black or white thing.

Because I'm telling you, plenty of nights in Columbia, South Carolina, I took my ass to IHOP on assembly street salute to everybody that's working on working in ihop on uh in columbia south carolina on assembly street 10 31 assembly street baby my goodness i actually got put in handcuffs in there one night but where when i hop on assembly street no that's back in the day though i do want to know what's wrong with the uh virginia jails the fact that you can get your way out with a toothbrush. They said it was a construction design weakness. And they say they don't want to speak too much on it because of security concerns. Bro, they don't want to speak on it. You got out with a toothbrush.

I mean, I guess they don't want to give too much away because then it'll give other prisoners ideas. But, you know, if you can escape with a primitive made tool, you know, made from a toothbrush and a metal object, man. Jesus. Man. I'm going to be honest with you. When you do stuff like that, you kind of deserve to be free. Like, it should be almost like a game.

If you can get out, you deserve to be out. Jesus Christ. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Now, when we come back, let's talk Stinky. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Now, when we come back, let's talk Stinky. All right. Now, a TikToker previously accused Little Meech.

You know, Little Meech is in the BMF movie or the BMF series. They said he smells like a pound of onions. Now, we're taking it away. Little Meech was very musty on Friday night. He had went to six places, and he smelled like a pound of onions. I just want to know what possessed him to put on that long-sleeved shirt and to be so musty like that.

He was musty. I mean, the whole has been talking about he been musty for the past week. You hear me? Jesus. I hate people. Why do we even go around people, yo? Like, why are humans allowed to even be around each other?

Like, you meet somebody, and that's all you can think to do is go to your social media and talk about that person in that way. But let's take it out a little, mate, Chuck. And then if Meech did that to her, you know what I'm saying? Because if Meech did that to her for something, everybody would be mad at Meech. But it's okay for her to do that to him. You might have had a bad day, but let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Tell us about

somebody that is always musty when they're around. Always? Now, always is different. See, that woman was talking about a one-off. I was about to say, take it out of Meech, man. Alright, so let's talk about somebody that is musty a majority

of the time. Y'all don't want to play this game with me. Let's play this game. Y'all don't want to play this game with me. Yes, we do. Let's do it. We're going to talk about it when we come back. Y'all do not want to play this game with me this morning. 800-585-1051.

He had went to six places and he smelled like a pound of onions.

I just want to know what possessed him to put on that long-sleeved shirt and to be so musty like that. He was musty. I mean, the whole's been talking about he been musty for the past week. You hear me? So we're asking, 800-585-1051. Tell us about somebody that often smells. That's the question that we're asking.

I did not say that. I did say when I went to the White House, we had to take a COVID test and it was a long line. And people were leaving work to go to the White House. They didn't go home and take a shower. And as me and my wife were on that line waiting to take our COVID test, we smelled a long line and people were leaving work to go to the White House. They didn't go home and take a shower. And as me and my wife were on that line waiting to take our COVID test, we smelled a couple people that was a little funky, a little musty.

I do that to my wife and my daughters just as a joke. When I see them taking their earrings out, I'll be like, let me smell it back. Yo, you a nasty. Oh, my God. But, Charlamagne, I wanted to chime in on what you said about the young girl jumping on her phone and saying, my thing is, now that she said that and put that out there,

she does not ever, ever go around nobody's fake number. That's right. Thank you, Mama. You ain't lying. 800. You're welcome. Y'all have a blessed day. I could smell the black and browns coming out that phone when she was talking.

800-585-1051. We're talking about having musty friends or musty people around you. Do you know somebody that's musty all the time? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about mustiness, stinkiness. Do you know somebody that's always musty when they're around? Now, this comes from this TikToker talking about Lil' Meech. I hate the fact that we throw

Lil' Meech's name in there like that because he could have had a bad day. He could have had a bad day. He don't have bad days. I think it's disrespectful. And I'm going to tell you something, man. If Big Meech's name in there like that because he could have had a bad day. He could have had a bad day. He don't have bad days. I think it's disrespectful. And I'm going to tell you something, man. If Big Meech don't ever come around y'all ever again, I ain't mad at him

because you see this man out somewhere and the first thing you do is get online and talk about, you know, what this man may or may not have smelled like. That's so whack. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is mario

from 717 good morning gentlemen hey good morning we're talking about uh being around somebody that's always musty you know somebody brother yes i have a co-worker he smells so bad it makes your eyes back to church damn what they smell like now i can't i can't even explain it it's like uh someone it's like someone that just wears the same clothes and do not take a bath or a shower or even try to wash off. And imagine you got to work with that person for five days a week. And I drive a truck and we're in a truck. Jesus. Y'all ain't got no HR department?

Yeah, I report them. I try to get them off my truck. And they took them off my truck for a week and put it right back on. Yeah, HR should be able to intervene like that, right? Because to me, things like that are almost like, I don't want to say a dress code, but if somebody came to work, you know, dressed inappropriately

and they were causing a distraction at work, I think it's the same thing when somebody has an odor, right? And I think that there's a respectful way to have that conversation with a person because it could be a medical issue, you know? But let me ask you a question. You know, some people,

I don't want to say their religion, but their background is based off of what they smell, depending on what they cook in the crib or the fact that they use, you know, certain, you know, things, whether it's cologne or perfume or whatever it may be. So that might be different for people too. I don't know what you're talking about right now.

But I didn't know. Now you don't know what you're talking about right now. I wanted to talk to him about it, but I didn't know how to open that up. Now you don't know what I'm talking about. I have no idea. I don't know how to act if that was the case, you know, because that's not a comfortable conversation. I want to take that and say the man stinks,

but to be honest, his hygiene is real bad, but I don't know if it's religion or I don't know if he's a negative yoder or something, but something's got to be done. Well, if the HR don't work, maybe make a little joke with him. Be like, hey, man. Damn, bro, you're making right guard go left right now, ain't he? You better not. Hello, who's

this? Tanya from Tampa. Hey, Tanya from Tampa. How are you all this morning? Good, good, good. You got a stinky person you're thinking about right now? One of my husband's friends, when they leave the basketball court, Good, good, good. You got a stinky person you're thinking about right now? Damn. Boy, that don't count.

They got a valid reason. They just finished playing basketball. I mean, yeah, it's the ball, but the point is they just finish sweating. It's intense when they ball, but that's an everyday thing. Hold on, so it's when they're not playing ball, they smell like that, too? Yeah, he does, but when it's the basketball, it's like three times on Sundays. That don't count. You just tell them don't come in your house after y'all just finished playing ball.

Y'all stink. Stay outside. Oh, I do that. Oh, okay. I do that. I do that. Well, thank you, Mama. Yes, ma'am.

I'm going to tell you the truth. Some of y'all calling up is the musty one, but don't nobody want to tell you. Let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up, man? What's up? What's good, bro? What up, Charlotte, man?

What's your name, please? This is Bill from New Jersey, man. What up, Bill? What up, Charlotte, man? What's your name, please? This is Bill from North New Jersey, man. North New Jersey. What up, bro? Hello? Yeah, you got a musty friend or somebody that you know that always stinks? Yeah, man. I was working at this company, man.

I was eating a fool. That's the hardest fool that I had around. Nope, not doing this. Nope. Hang on. I don't want to play anymore. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hello.'t want to play anymore. Hello, who's this?

Hello, good morning, good morning. This is Blue. Oh my gosh. Hey, Blue. What's up? This whole topic is really wild right now, so I'm going to keep it as clean as possible and be very careful because anybody can get canceled. But let's just say it's a certain group of people

who are always musty. And I'll give you a hint. Oh boy. No. No thank you. No. We don't need the hint ma'am. Have a good day. Alright. I told you I didn't want to play no more. I told you. Jesus Christ man. I told you I didn't

want to play. You want to keep playing? You want to take another call? No. Alright. I'm done. Can we take one more? You sure? Just about mustiness in general, please. All right. Let's try. Hello, who's this?

Hey, hey, what's up? Hey, what's up? What's your name, bro? Thomas. Hey, Thomas. We're talking about stinky friends of people that you know that always stink. So, it's BJ Envy. First of all, good morning.

Good morning to you and Uncle Sharla. Morning. I have one that smells like puppy pee and fertilizer. Puppy pee and fertilizer. Who? It's one of my homeboys that I used to work with. What's his name, man? Why do you always smell like that?

I don't know if he don't have water in the house, or he just doesn't like to wash his clothes. But my man, hey, he claim he get women. You know why I love us? We so descriptive. And we so descriptive based off things that we ain't never smelled. Ear bag juice. We don't know what that really smell like.

Puppy juice. We don't know what puppy juice smell like. What the hell is puppy juice? Puppy water juice. Puppy pee and fertilizer together. Puppy pee and fertilizer. Okay, you might have smelled some puppy pee. All right.

But my point is we're so descriptive Alright And also my point is I don't know how to tell somebody that they musty You know what I mean I feel like if it's a woman that's musty It takes another woman to tell them that they musty I feel like if it's a cultural thing

Then that group needs to have that conversation amongst each other But who's going to alert the group I'm minding my business. I'm just saying. I don't know. Because I also don't know why people do smell the way they do sometimes. Sometimes it might be medical reasons. Sometimes it might be cultural reasons.

Some people don't like wearing deodorant because they don't like the chemicals that are in deodorant. So you just never know nowadays. That's all you got? That's all I got. All right. Well, thank you so much. When we come back, we got your rumor report we got to talk jamie foxx somebody tried

I don't never like to tell someone they're doing too much because usually it's the people not doing enough telling you that you're doing too much. But pulling up to the club on a horse, going in the club on a horse, that's doing too much.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Like, what do you do? Where do you go from there once you come in on the horse? Would you take some pictures, then get off it? I have no idea. But the horse, they're not potty trained. They just don't poop on the side.

It sounded like the horse said, F you. You stupid. Now, Jamie Foxx has been targeted in a $40,000 scam on the set of his Netflix film.

I've spent a great deal of my own life in prison. I never wanted it to happen to my son. He was pissed off that he was often left to fend for himself. He was suffering. We never spent time together because he was always speaking and going to colleges and everything. And then after that was over, it was more time spent with me.

It goes back to the conversation we had earlier when we were talking about finding peace at work. Would you take a pay cut to have a job that makes you more happy? I was really inspired by the young lady that called and talked about the boundaries that she set up for herself at work. And I just think boundaries are so important. That's why I love nature to wild gloves book set boundaries, find peace.

But I just want all of y'all to always remember, man, if people are offended by your boundaries, be very aware of those people. Be very aware of the people that are offended by your boundaries. Because if you're offended by my boundaries, then you're probably one of the reasons I need them. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you all done?
