Good morning, USA! What's up, brother? Hey, hey, hey. I can't call it. I might spoil it. Original member of the Ghetto Boys, Willie D as hell. What's happening, my brother? Hey, man. You know, one more win, I'll be in. Hey. You used to be in up this early? I'm not. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

I'm not, but it's a breath's play. Word. Okay. Word. Shout to all our dads out there that do throw-up duty. So this morning, I had throw-up duty. My son came in. My son is nine years old.

He walked in my bedroom and said, I feel sick, right right and i don't know why kids do this right if you feel sick throw up in the bathroom throw up in the toilet all right so as soon as he said my old is he's nine i just told you he's not you listening i didn't know he's nine so he said he's sick so this is like 3 a.m so you know i got about an hour left to get up right so i'm trying to ignore the situation. And my wife says, well, if you feel sick, go to the bathroom. He goes, all right. He stands up. I see him walk like three steps and he's not moving.

So, I'm like, you know what? I'm going to let my wife handle it. And all of a sudden, I'm like, damn. So, I'm still acting like I'm sleeping. I'm like, I'm not getting up. I'm like, I got one hour left. Who the hell cleaned up the throw up? Me. So, my wife, she does not do throw up.

If she sees throw up, she'll throw up. So then she starts saying, babe, babe. And I'll start with the hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Babe, babe. I get up. Jackson just threw up all over the place. I'm like, ah, you going to clean it up? She's like, you know, if I see it, I'm going to throw up.

So I had to get up at 3 a.m., clean it up, mop, scrub, and then I didn't get my hour in. Did you document it? I did not document it. You need to document that because your wife is going to tell a different version. I'm sure she is. In about five, ten years. In five, ten years.

She's going to talk about how she cleaned it up when you went back to bed. Jesus. You just ruined everybody's breakfast. We ain't even eat yet, and you talking about throw up. God, it was nasty. Lord have mercy.

But then I had to give him a COVID test because I had to make sure he wasn't sick. I had COVID. So then I had to go in his nose and make sure he was out. He didn't have COVID. I don't know. Maybe he just ate something bad yesterday. But that was my morning.

That definitely wasn't my morning. Because I'm going to get my hour. There's got to be some rules, some regulations, and some order. Daddy got to sleep. Daddy got to get up four in the morning. Okay? So anything that happened during the week around that time, you know, if it ain't like life-threatening

or something serious, I'm asleep. Damn, I wanted my hour. That's just how things go. Yeah, but... First of all, you gotta get up 4 o'clock in the morning. I wanted that. That last hour is everything. It sure is. It is what it is. Alright. Things will be in a dab. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. Teslin Figueroa will be joining you.

We're joining us. We'll put you on to everything that's happening. Front page news. And in the rumors, well, we got to discuss Cardi B. There were some more things that came out we got to talk about. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got our guest co-host, Willie D. Of course, legend, icon. Probably known from the Ghetto Boys, his podcast, solo album, so many things. But let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. And my favorite guy is here, my friend in real life, Willie D. And of course, Charlamagne.

Peace, Tez. Now, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about Texas police held a black family at gunpoint and handcuffed their son. What happened? Yeah, police in Frisco, Texas, like you just mentioned, held a black couple at gunpoint and handcuffed their son what happened yeah police in Frisco Texas like you just mentioned held a black couple at gunpoint handcuffed the young son because they mistyped the car's license plate in their system leading them to believe that the family was driving a stolen car now while the uh while the car was running they typed in the plate saying it was

from Arizona when reality it was from Arkansas and so the body cam it was from arizona when reality it was from arkansas and so the body cam footage was released and it showed an officer again holding uh the son the young sons or the young son at gunpoint the son was about 12 years old i want you to take a listen and listen to the father it really literally begging uh because how his son was traumatized. Let's take a listen. Can you fit that way or no? I can't fit that way, bro. Come on, man. I'm a basketball coach, bro. It's okay. Look, listen. Look at this, bro.

Listen, bro. I'm a basketball coach. I got concealed carry and everything. That's why we told you. I put a gun on myself for no reason. Boy, we deserve better, boy. What did the family say after the officer admitted? Didn't the officer admit he made a mistake?

Yeah, he did admit that he made a mistake uh the civil rights attorney david henderson said that you know they see this happen all the time the difference between how they treat black people even when they say you know that they that they have a license to carry so the officer did admit uh that it was a mistake uh the the wife of the but the the husband said you know but that sounds fine but this could have went all the way different. You know, if he had reached for his phone or anything could have happened, they could have been killed. And I want to point to another case. You may remember this. Robbie Tolan in 2008 that was treated the same way in Bel Air, Texas, because they believe that the car was stolen and follow Robbie Tolan all the way home. I know you remember this story, Willie, all the way home and shot him in his driveway while his parents were saying the car is not

stolen it is my car um so just to give i just want to paint a picture here uh charlemagne i'm really upset about this because when you look at the logic behind this i built my first house in frisco texas i know exactly where this is and this shows exactly that no matter where you are it can happen anywhere the median income in frisco texas is 140 000 a year it's the last place that a family of four two kids and a mom and dad will be joyriding in a car so to go to a level 10 to pull out guns automatically before they even knew that it was a concealed weapon in the car made no logical sense what what family of four will be riding around joy riding in a car in broad daylight and i also want to point to that it was not just a white officer the white

officer or appears to be a white officer from the body cam was pointing the gun but it also was a sister on the scene as well you know as a police officer and this is where we talk about the duty to intervene uh intervene so again why did they go all the way to a level 10 i also did some other stats it's about 200 car thefts a year in in frisco texas so this is not an area where you're constantly seeing stolen cars you know riding joyriding through the streets and that's what really upsets me because it just didn't make any logical sense to go to a level well we know why they went to a level 10 because the family was black like it's not a class issue it's a race issue it was all that's exactly it was all

triggered by the sister who actually put the wrong license plate number in in the first place she she's the one who triggered this these whole series of events this is why i say that close to the mic well so people can hear yeah this is why i say it doesn't matter that you have black officers working in black communities and white officers working outside of those black communities. The moment that black people cross that line, they free game to these race warriors. You know, these race soldiers, you know, they're free game. And these uncivilized mutts, they don't know the difference between a child and an adult and right and wrong. All they know is I got a gun i got a badge i got authority

i'm about to interfere with your life i'm about to interrupt your life now what was what was the warrant for when they typed in the the wrong plate what was the warrant for just a stolen car well i mean they thought it was stolen it wasn't it wasn't a stolen car at all it wasn't a warrant they typed it in they typed it was nothing i mean they typed it in and just figured okay i guess the car is stolen because apparently when they typed in the wrong license yeah it was just a mistake and a stolen car warrants all of that not at all all those guns being drawn well let me ask you another question so what can happen now can they sue can like what can what can the family do out of this well technically when we see these type of cases in in the civil side since no

one i guess was physically harmed you have to be able to kind of line it up with some type of damage. Now, if this son or anybody in the family says they've been traumatized and they can prove that, you know, maybe we're going to get mental health counseling or that type of thing. Maybe they can. Sometimes police state police departments will just write a check to kind of make the problem go away. So we'll see now in Robbie Tolan's case where where he actually was shot he did live to tell the story they went all the way to the supreme court and they sued as well so they won so just kind of depends on what the damage is but i just want to uh reiterate again charlamagne you're right it was not a class issue it was a race issue but i was bringing up class as a point to to say like willie said that it doesn't matter it's like no matter what you know it always comes down to the color of our't matter it's like no matter what you know it always

comes down to the color of our skin including when a black officer is uh you know on the scene and also when an officer admits they made a mistake like that shouldn't it be some type of automatic disciplinary action if you're isn't that an admission of guilt if you're admitting you made a mistake like you can't you can't just commit that kind of malpractice like that and nothing happens like you just get on the cheap right and the chief just basically said you know we made a mistake and we learned from it so that was their you know my bad basically they would have been like that if you'd accidentally killed that man or that man's son too they would have said oh we learned from all mistakes but then somebody's dead so and so so now what all right well that

is front page news all right tez we'll see in a couple of minutes. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Lindsey, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now.

He'll tell you what it is. Made it. We live. Hello, who's this? Yo, Jacquez calling in from Gainesville, Florida. Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Jacquez, what up, King?

Hey, what's going on, fellas? It's crazy to be talking with y'all, but I just want to say, it's ironic how you say your son woke up, threw up this morning. Your mom woke up about 3 o'clock and had the same thing. I just wish I could have got that extra hour. I want you being a single dad, I had to get up and take care of it. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not a single dad, but I definitely had to get up and take care of it.

You know, in that time, you're looking at the clock like, damn, all I want is my time. That's it. Had to clean up the throw up, then had to get up and take care of it. You know, in that time, you're looking at the clock like, damn, all I want is my time. That's it. Had to clean up the throw up, then had to mop it up, then had to Clorox it. And then it was a lot this morning, but, you know, it is what it is. That's right. It's crazy, man, to be talking with y'all.

Y'all are powerful, man. I like it. You know, as a young black male, I get a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge from both of y'all. And everybody that you bring on. So I definitely appreciate more than messages that you guys bring. Love, my brother. Thank you, brother.

Y'all take it easy. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, guys. This is Tim from Toledo, Ohio. Hey, Tim from Ohio. Get it off your chest. So that story really hit me hard this morning. I'm a white guy.

I always say I'm your favorite white listener. I kind of say that tongue-in-cheek. I know there's a lot of white listeners out there. But I've had my own issues with the police. And I've said this before. I've called you guys. I cannot fathom what you guys deal with. When I see you guys, black people in America,

I feel insulted. Every day I hear stories like this. And I feel like I want to start a movement, man. But I don't know what, you know, I'm 45. And I just said the other day, I don't know how black young men don't have anxiety. What you mean? We do. We do.

They do. Develop the anxiety at a young age by dealing with this horse s*** every day. Yeah, they do, brother. We do. They do. Yes, at a young age. We just was talking about that behind the scenes. What you said, Willie, they want to do this to you at an early age.

Yeah, they purposely do this. They purposely target our babies. They traumatized them early on. They're trying to get them off track on they're trying to get them off track they're trying to throw them off get them off their square to make sure that they are not productive citizens they don't want our babies to be productive they don't want our baby they want our babies bodies cold or warm you know i'm saying they don't care and it never gets better see what most people don't realize is is when you get to an age where you think okay i'm old enough

where maybe i won't get pulled over. Maybe they won't look at me like that. Then you got kids. Now you worry every night that your kid goes out. You know what I mean? I got a 19-year-old son that, you know, he goes out. And he, you know, whether last night he went to Topgolf, the other night he goes here. And I'm worried each and every night that he ain't going to make it back.

You know what I mean? So you continue to have this anxiety. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed. It's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on? It's Ted. What up, Ted? You said Ted? Yeah, Ted. Okay, Ted. He's Ted.

Ted? Ted isn't Teddy? Yeah. All right. Well, get it off your chest, Ted. I'm calling in early in the morning, man. I'm going to get off my chest. These big-ass dicks out here making it hard for them to feel good.

That's why I say it ain't a stereotype if it's true because I knew something was up. I was about to ask you what do you identify as but I was going to mind my business this morning but you let the world know. Oh no. Oh definitely. I identify as a woman. I'm the stud. You a stud though? Yeah I'm a stud.

I'm a dude in the red shirt. What's a fake d**k? A fake d**k would be something that you would call a d***. It's kind of like double sinning. We're already sinning out here anyway. We won't be doing it. But it's like you're a stud and you have a sexual man on the low.

You're making it hard for us. You can't be bi-stud? No, you can't be bi-stud. That ain't how we roll. That's triple sinning now. Triple sinning? I'm confused. What's the sin?

I don't get what the sin is. I'm lost. We already double sinning. They already say we're sinning by being what we are. You know what I'm saying? So you want people, you want the real studs of the world to just sway off meat. They can't have no penis whatsoever. No, no, nothing, man.

Just go vegan. You'll be better off. Go vegan. Jesus Christ. Wouldn't that be pescatarian though? No, not even. Because it's fish. Y' vegan. If you bet off. Go vegan. Jesus Christ. Wouldn't that be pescatarian, though? No, not even. Because it's fish. Y'all eat fish?

Yeah, we're going to eat some fish, but, you know, the human body ain't fish. I hope they ain't eating fish. Okay. He wasn't talking. You know what? Never mind. All right, Ted, you have a good one, all right? Yeah, I do, baby.

That's right. Y'all listen to Ted, man. All y'all studs out there, stop faking the funk, all right? Leading penises alone. Fake-ass studs. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Cliff. Cliff, what up?

Get it off your chest. Yeah, I went to the boxing gym a few days ago. I don't know how I left. Oh, somebody put you on your ass? You don't know how you left? Somebody knocked you out? I don't know how I left the boxing gym. I don't know how I left.

Hey, you don't play boxing, bro, bro. We got Willie D in here. Willie D is a... What is it, Willie? You said Golden Glove, right? Golden Glove, yeah. That's what's up, yeah, but I don't know how I left, though. Maybe you shouldn't go back then. Alright. Maybe you shouldn't be boxing. How long

you been training? I've been doing sparring here and there. I've never really trained with it. There's your problem. See, that's the problem. People just want to jump in and go in the gym and just start sparring. There's more to that. Right. You're right.

Yeah. You got hit in the nose. I don't know what he got hit in. But his phone ain't even there no more. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report.

We got to discuss Cardi B. You know, yesterday she got into the incident. Well, over the weekend, she got into the incident with somebody that threw a drink at her. She threw the mic back. Well, it changed up a little, and we'll discuss some updates. All right, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Willie D, here. And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Stephen A. Smith. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty-patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report.

I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, the reason I started with this story is Willie D, our guest host, if you don't know, icon legend from the legendary group Ghetto Boys, but he was also a boxer, golden glove boxer. And we were talking behind the scenes about the Errol Spence and Crawford fight. Well, yesterday, Stephen A. Smith said this about Errol Spence. In all my years of watching boxing, it is rare that I've seen an ass whipping like that. Having said that, i want to announce

this on national television right here on first tape i believe that errol spence jr should consider retirement that's how bad that ass was let me explain why lost and i'm i'm getting ready to go to that it's how you lose and it's what he's been through and when he says been through he means uh the two car accidents. Car accidents, yeah. It was two, yeah, because it was two car accidents. It was two?

Yeah, people always talk about the Ferrari flipping over, but they forget about the head-on collision he had with I think it was a 14 or 15-year-old. I think the 14 or 15-year-old ran into him. It was a head-on collision.

I don't remember that one. Yeah. So Willie D, your former boxer, Golden Glove boxer, what are your thoughts? Should he retire from what you've seen? I mean, everybody's saying that this is a thought that maybe he should.

I think Oscar De La Hoya said something about that as well, right? Oscar De La Hoya said that he definitely should not fight in December because he feels like people are saying that he might have some residual neurological damage. The only reason I don't want to get into those conversations is because I don't want to take away anything from Terrence Crawford. I don't feel like that's fair to Bud because Earl has had quite a few fights since both those accidents

he's been in and he's won those. So if there's something wrong with Earl, I pray he gets the help he needs and I care about his overall health more than I care about anything he does in the ring.

But I don't want to get into those conversations because I feel like that takes away from what Terrence Crawford did on Saturday night. What you think, Willie D? Excellent view.

First of all, salute to Terrence Crawford. Hell of a fighter. He is a world champion. He is a Hall of Famer. He showed you the reason why he is considered one of the greats. Stephen A says a lot of dumb

things. He's a corny dude. He's a drop of dumb things. He's a corny dude. He's a drop-top hairdo. I do believe affects his thinking sometimes. Look, man, I've been in like four or five car accidents and it didn't affect me and my

fighting. Stephen A don't know what he's talking about. Earl Spence. Like Charlemagne. I mentioned a little earlier. Did well in the fights. Before him.

Previous fights. The car accidents. When he fought. If you watch how he fought that fight. He fought all the way through. He came. he kept attacking. Yeah, he got touched. He never stopped.

Every time he got close, he got touched. You know, he got touched. But he kept coming and he ended the fight on his feet. On his feet, yeah. He ended the fight on his feet. And, you know, you can talk about how he got dominated and all that kind of stuff. He was dominated.

But even with that, Errol Spence is still better than 95% of the fighters out there. That's right. Especially the ones who are right underneath him and above his division. Why would you try to discourage that man from making a living for himself and his family and continuing to put his

self in the record books and further secure his legacy. I'm glad you said that. Also, why would you try to deter people who might want to do business with that man to not do business with him? Earl Spence earned the right

to continue to fight. He's going to get checked out by doctors and all that stuff. And if he feels that he can continue, he should continue. Even if it means that he ends up getting killed in the ring. If he wants to fight, let him fight. Yeah, but we don't want him to get killed. We don't want him to get killed. Sometimes when you go that far, ego gets in our way, right? Because he wants us to get

back. But if a doctor's saying he can't, we don't even know what a doctor's saying. I just don't want to see nobody get killed in the ring. But my question to you is, so you don't think he should retire? We just want to see him get brutally beaten in the ring. I don't want to see it. That was hard to watch on Saturday. I wanted it to be way more competitive.

That was hard to watch on Saturday. I'm glad what you said about Earl, though, because I don't like people acting like Earl was some scrub. He was an undefeated, unified, welterweight champion. He had three belts. You know what I mean? Earl Spence is a bad boy. He's a beast.

Let me tell you something. I got a confession to make. I didn't think the fight was going to be that good because I thought that they both were going to be too tactical all the way up until the round, the fourth, fifth round. I thought it was going to be too tactical, and both of them have very, very good defense. So I felt like this probably is not going to be an exciting fight. And at the last minute, I actually bought the fight.

And I'm going to tell you something. I would pay to watch that fight again. A lot of people say, well, you ain't no use to watching, man. If you watch, let gonna tell you something i would pay to watch that fight again a lot of people say well you ain't no used to watching man if you watch let me tell you something i like to see people fight two people want to fight i ain't saying bullies i don't want to see bullies but i like to see when two people want to fight each other i want to see it i want to see that fight my skill levels are the same and yeah yeah no that skill levels ain't got to be i like to see a fight i want to see i don't want to see the rematch skill levels ain't gotta be i like to see a fight i want to see i don't want to see the rematch personally i want to see fights i want to see

two people that want to fight i want to watch them fight and and here's the thing in a rematch yeah you know styles make fights so even in a rematch turn i mean terrence could dominate again but i don't think we'll see this exact same type of results. We won't see a situation like that because I do believe that, as you mentioned, you alluded to ego a little earlier. I do think that next time around Earl Spence will employ a better defensive strategy. I don't know what Earl could do to close the gap. I didn't realize the skill level

between Terrence Crawford and Earl was that wide. Unless Earl just had that bad of a night on Saturday. He could fall back and counterpunch more. Instead of being

so aggressive and committing, he could fall back and counterpunch more. You know? And he could put up a better defense. Well, see, I just don't want to take nothing away from terrence crawford man that's the moral of the story you can't take yeah drop one of clues bomb terrence crawford i don't want

to if anything is wrong with earl we'll find out later on in the future but i don't want to take away nothing from what that man did on and let me say this man steven a smith should be the last person coming on boxing did you see that video that he put out a year or two ago of him boxing? The dude looked like he was punch drunk. He ain't got no business talking about boxing.

Stick to writing, bro. Stick to writing. You just said you like a fight. Don't feel like you want to fight Stephen A. Smith. Don't even commentate, bro. I would love to fight Stephen A. Smith. Don't even commentate, bro. Hey, man, hey, I would love to fight Stephen A. Smith. And let me say that Stephen A. Smith was very emphatic about how Terrence got his ass whooped. I'm telling you right now, I would whoop Stephen A. Smith's

ass. Is Texas men standing up for Texas men? I would whoop Stephen A. Smith's ass for the whole state of Texas. An entire boxing ring, the boxing world just for making that comment.

Jesus Christ. Alright, well that is your rumor report. So we'll set it up in the rematch. You and Stephen A. Smith on the undercard. Please. Please do. I would whoop Stephen A. Smith's ass all over ESPN's offices.

If you and Stephen A. fight, here's the bet. If Stephen A. wins, Stephen A. gotta shave his head bald. If you win, you gotta roll your hair out. Half roll. So then you have the same hairline as Stephen A. Who you got your money on?

Who you got your money on? Oh, Willie. I mean, he's a Golden Globe. I mean, come on, man. That ain't even fair. We're not talking about that. Why you don't want to see Willie D and Stephen A fight? You said it.

You don't want to have to set up the bet. Now you're in the battle of the letters. The battle of the letters. Stephen A versus Willie D. We could really sell this, by the way. We could sell this. We could sell this. I'm with it, man. I'm with it. Houston versus New York. Oh A. versus Willie D. We could really sell this, by the way. We could sell this. I'm with it, man.

I'm with it. Houston versus New York. Oh, that'd be great. Steve, have your people to call me, man. We can do the middle of my car show. All right, when we come back,

we got front page news. Oh, my gosh. I hate y'all. It's the Breakfast Local Morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our audible pick of the day is the Space Within.

Jessica Chastain, Bobby Cannavale, and our all-star cast are on board for this supernatural audio thriller. Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash breakfast club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We still have our guest co-host, Willie D. And let's get in some front page news. Welcome back, Tess LaFigaro.

Happy to be here. Willie D. and Charlamagne and DJ Envy alright let's get right into it 61% of Americans say they are living paycheck to paycheck yeah just another reminder to these politicians especially that inflation has ease compared to one year ago but 61% of adults still say they are living paycheck to paycheck lower income workers have been hit the hardest and about three quarters of consumers that earn less than 50,000 annually are really being hit 65% of those earners between 50,000 and 100,000 are still living paycheck to paycheck you know you hear a lot of folks say oh I earned six figures I earned six figures well even the 100 figures. Well, even the 100,000 folks, people that have earned 100,000 are still living paycheck to paycheck. And so they're saying that there is a small percentage of even those

who are making over 100,000 that are still living paycheck to paycheck. And they said that this happened even before COVID. So we can't just blame it on, well, it was COVID. So again, Americans are using credit cards, paying high interest in order to, you know, rob Peter to pay Paul, if you will, dipping into their savings, which is making them more vulnerable. So I wanted to bump this story up because we talked yesterday about how campaign season, we're not hearing a lot about, you know, what is going, you know, what's going to happen with average, average, you know, working folks. And what is the economy going to look like and what are the plans, whether that be

on the Democrat side or the Republican side. So I thought I'd bump this back up today. Yeah, I saw them also say that the forecast for the recession got called off. But I mean, I'd just be wondering what does that mean for folks who've been polled? You know what I mean? I mean, that's the problem.

The problem is we always talk about these food deserts and what people can get what they can eat and what they can't but the prices of food are still going up which is which is crazy the prices of gas in some areas are still high uh people are not making more money but they still have to you know pay for everything i mean electricity is high gas bill is still high uh and food is still high but people are not making more money so it's it's very difficult for people out there. You know, the working poor are often referred to as people with low skills, limited skills and low income. But oftentimes when you take a look at it, you know, a lot of working poor include people with advanced degrees that's right skill levels so you got to look at that also a lot of times we tend to think about poor we don't think about the people that

live in paycheck to paycheck people that makes it bigger yeah and a lot of those people you know part of the reason that they live in paycheck to paycheck too is because of school loans i read something where they said most people don't pay off their school loans to their 40s so people are still paying school loans off you know, and they never got a chance to even make money or bounce back from the school loans, you know. That's why it was important when we were telling our kids to pay those loans off. You know, like to actually make sure that when they stepped away from school, that they didn't have that burden because that that actually stops a lot of our people from being able to build wealth because they're going in so heavily in debt you can take that burden off your children when they get so when they finish school if you're going to send them to college

you know if there's a way that you can figure out to take that burden off them where they can start fresh you know that would be hoovy absolutely i tell everybody that that's as a parent that's one of my major dreams for my kids is to make sure that uh all their schools are taken care of so that when they graduate they start at zero that you know i mean so they have a shot they have a chance to do something that they enjoy a lot of times people don't do what they enjoy don't do what they love because they have to do a necessity you have to do to pay their bills so i just want them to be happy because this life is short and people are stressed out. And I just want them to start at zero and be happy. You know, what else you got to talk about this new nightclub narcotic?

Yeah, just wanted to give folks an update, a heads up of what is happening with a new nightclub narcotic. It's called 2C and it's actually known as pink cocaine. It's a new designer drug that is even on the radar of the United Nations. Let's take a listen. We'll talk about it on the other side. Out of all the different narcotics, is there one drug that seems to be the most prolific right now? So right now for Miami itself, this is the party scene. So the party drug right now that it's very popular is called 2c also known as pink cocaine a designer drug even on the radar of the united nations

there's a lot of music especially in the reggaeton scene that make reference to 2c because it's a very popular dance club drug that's being utilized right now in the party scene. So what's the effects? I mean, how is it stronger than regular white cocaine? Yeah, well, the problem is they're putting in the food coloring to make it pink. And like a lot of these synthetic manufactured drugs, they're just kind of throwing whatever in the kitchen sink, you know, to try to make it stronger or doing whatever. And that's where the problem is coming from. So this symptom is causing racing heart, which obviously it can happen with cocaine, by the way. But this particular drug is causing a racing heart rate, dilated pupils, sweaty, increased blood pressure,

stroke, seizure, hypothermia, and increased temperature. And again, they're stressing that the ingredients vary from batch to batch, so you never know what you're getting. So as folks are spreading this out in the club and you're taking a little snort, you don't know what it is that you're getting because they're making these drugs in the kitchen sink, basically, as you will, like what a lot of these new designer drugs that are out there. So it is basic cocaine, but they're adding other stuff to

it just mixing with red kool-aid mixing with red kool-aid if you want your cocaine to have a little color to it but they need to be worried about the cocaine being fentanyl free that's what's getting people out of here that fenty adding rihanna makeup you never know if they putting that in it as well you know because they're just throwing whatever to try to make it you know as strong as possible and for what like why do you need your drug? First of all, you shouldn't be using the drug to begin with. But why do you need your drug to be a certain color? Why do you want to have a fashionable drug?

Well, that's how you get the kids. The kids are already on it. Well, that's how you get more kids. Because of the color? Yeah. I saw on Shark Tank they had this cleaning gel that is colorful. So it encourages kids to keep their hands clean. But they made it colorful with bright colors and stuff like that on the label

so that kids would be more inclined to want to keep their hands clean. So just like when they put the cigarette in the camel mouth back in the day it's all about appealing to the youth because if you can get the youth you know you can at least run an entire generation for the next 20 to 30 years 40 50 years yeah and also remember we talked about uh we covered a story a couple of weeks ago on the uh the the edible wheat remember they we were talking about how they were making that taste like candy, and that was also part of a marketing ploy, and kids were overdosing on that as well

because they didn't know what type of edible weed would conflict with their body, but that also was a marketing ploy. Yeah, they've been doing that. They'll put the edible, and it'll be in a Jolly Rancher's bag or a Skittles bag. Sour Patch Kids. Sour Patch Kids. Sour Patch Kids. Like, they've been doing that. So can we agree that America does not care about the children?

Come on, man. I'm going to see it. Can we agree? I didn't, yeah. I never thought they did. Yeah. Right. But, you know, they're always talking about the kids, the youth this, the youth that.

But if you really look at how they treat the youth, just like they treat the elder, they say one thing, but they do something totally different. Same thing with our servicemen, you know, our vets. Oh, absolutely. They say one thing, they put on a big show at these games and stuff like that. They bring out the old dude who can barely walk. And as soon as the camera go off, like, get your ass up. Yeah, there should never be any homeless veteran in America.

You should never have, if you fought in any war in this country, you should not be on the side of the road with a cardboard sign begging for anything. You should have free room and board. You know what I'm saying? You should get free health insurance

for the rest of your life. You should get some type of, you know, stipend every month to take care of your bills and make sure you got food on your plate. Like America should absolutely be taking 100% care of its veterans. Yeah sure you got food on your plate like america should absolutely be taking a hundred percent care of his veterans yeah and your kids should

be taking care also your kids should get free school you know that that that's the ultimate sacrifice but they love to like prop that out there man but you know the actions are not indicative of statements all right well that is front page news.

Alright. Now when we come back, Charlamagne, you want to go to Breakfast Club Court? A lot of people have been leaving comments about the Cardi B conversation last, yesterday that we did. I'm with it. So if you don't know what happened, about the Cardi B conversation yesterday that we did. I'm with it. So if you don't know what happened, of course, Cardi B, she got into an incident as she was performing. Somebody threw a drink at her, and she threw the microphone back. Well, some more details are coming out.

One, now people are saying that Cardi B asked people to throw water on her. And also, that's what the girl did did and the girl was saying sorry when cardi b got mad so let's discuss let's go to breakfast club court uh who's the victim let's talk about it 800-585-1051 let's hear let's hear some of the audio right fast splash her down we'll take your calls when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking about cardi b now uh yesterday we were talking about cardi b's incident while

she was in vegas uh we seen a woman threw a drink on cardi and then cardi threw the mic back at her and everybody called yesterday and the majority of people that said that cardi b was not wrong for throwing the mic back at her but now there's more details now there's uh more footage where people are saying that Cardi B asked to be splashed let's hear that audio 800-585-1051. So does that change things? Does that change things? Yeah, to a certain extent, but we still don't know when that was like if i if i told you

to do something to me at one point early in the show that is 10 songs later i don't know when now i don't know when that exactly was like people this is the internet we're talking about you know what i'm saying so the internet would say cardi asked to be splashed and then cut right to the woman throwing the drink at her right so i don't i don't i don't know if that necessarily changes things i think cardi got enough common sense and wherewithal to know hey i did tell this to the woman throwing the drink at her. Right. So I don't know if that necessarily changes things. I think Cardi got enough common sense and wherewithal to know, hey, I did tell this group of people to do that, and that's fine. I ain't tell you to do that.

Right. What if she threw the water at her? How would I know? You know, maybe that's why she... Reacted to what she did? Yeah. Well, the girl did apologize. When she threw the water

and she seen Cardi's face get mad, you see the girl apologize like, sorry, that wasn't my intention. So, you know, I don't know. Did she hit her with the mic? No, she missed it. No, no, she missed it. Well, how is she trying to see,

trying to get a report? Like, she's trying to get an assault charge. Oh, I don't know if that's her doing it. Maybe somebody else. Yeah, maybe somebody else. Well, no, the girl that got hit with the mic is oppressing charges on Cardi B for hitting her with the mic. Oh, she gonna get a check? Yeah. The girl who got hit with the mic Is oppressing Chargers On Cardi B for hitting her with the mic Oh she gonna get a check

The girl who got hit with the mic But we said that yesterday Whenever you make a choice like that I mean don't get me wrong Cardi's still a human being But she gonna react like a human would react But once you make that choice There is consequences that come with that choice

So you hit the wrong person with the microphone Even if you hit the right person with the microphone You know they gonna sue You know they're going to sue. You know they was going to press charges. They're going to get some bread out you. Right.

So who's wrong in this situation? I really, truly, honestly don't know. You know what I mean? Because, you know, if you do encourage people to throw water on you, that's exactly what

people are going to do. And unless you tell them to stop, that portion of the show is over. They still going to do it. Especially not, and unless you tell them to stop, that portion of the show is over. They still going to do it. Especially because we all drunk.

Yeah. We twisted. And I think Vegas is 110 degrees. And that woman who threw that water at Cardi, that big,

the one that we saw, she was just over excited. That's all. And I'm so glad that I didn't have that internet on me back then when we were hitting that stage like that

because, say, man, I would be bankrupt because I jumped off the stage so many times and pissed up dudes. Really? Oh, yeah. For what? I mean, just running their mouth, you know, just... You could hear them from the stage, though?

No, no, I used to jump off the stage. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could hear them sometimes. Yeah, you could hear them.. Yeah, you could hear them. Really, the few times that I jumped off the stage, it wasn't even somebody saying something about me. It was somebody saying something about Brad. Neil said something disrespectful about the ghetto boys.

I'll rap a lot. I just jump off the stage, ding, ding, fries and shake, get back on stage, finish the show. Let's go to the phone line. Ding, ding, fries and shake. Hello, who's this? Hello, good morning, Breakfast Club. Good morning, what's your name?

This is Lauren. Hey, Lauren, good morning. Talk to us. So, Cardi B was wrong. You know, she asked people to throw water. Everyone was throwing water. So I guess the girl who threw the water didn't do it on her time.

So she got upset thinking it was something personal when it wasn't. The girl said, I'm sorry because she said you asked for water. I was just trying to accommodate. That is true. That's why I said I can't do these mental gymnastics with this internet, man, because the internet

had me thinking one thing about this situation yesterday, and then more video comes out, and now you thinking something else. I still feel like I don't know the whole story. Or, if Cardi B said to water me at that specific point, now, let's say that wasn't water that the girl threw. Let's say the girl threw tequila. Now y'all just making up stuff. Or vodka.

Because you're in a club. Who's drinking water in a club? But now y'all just making up stuff. Or vodka. Who drinking water in the club? Who drinking water in the club? I'm asking. You ever see people drink water out of a cup in the club? Now we just making up stuff. If you in the club, you gonna drink a bottle of water. I mean, I just don't even like having these conversations about stuff like this. Because this is what we do as a people. Now you just making up hypotheticals.

Hello? Hello? Peace and blessings, guys. Good morning. Peace and blessings. Hey, good morning, guys. shout out to willie d man my ex-girlfriend used to call me willie d as my nickname man my man appreciate you yeah yeah but uh i want to talk about the whole cardi b situation if she was telling people to throw water at her she can't get mad that somebody threw some back some backwash at her you know man because that's why I think she really got mad, y'all. I mean, that's the reality. The reality of the situation.

If Cardi B told people to throw water at her and somebody threw water at her, she really does not have a reason to be mad. Yeah, she can't be doing that, man. That's just the reality of the situation. Beth. Yeah, man. It is. Y'all stay blessed, all right?

All right, brother. Beth, you there? Hello. Hey, Beth. Hi. Hi. Oh, my God. Hello.

Yes. What's your thoughts, Beth? Okay, so, no, I don't think she's guilty at all. She was in the middle of something, something serious, like she's performing. And I have a similar story. No, you don't, because you don't have a Modac yellow. Hi, Sharla. Hey.

I'm probably from Toronto. Hello, everyone. Why are you acting so goofy, man? Relax. Calm down, sweetheart. She's nervous. What's going on? What's up?

What's up? Relax. Take a deep breath. Come on. Take a deep breath. Come on. Okay, okay. All right.

Okay, so I used to work in the kitchen, and the chef threw water at me one time, and I don't want to be at work. I remember it was like a late shift. So I was so shocked and mad that he did that, I threw a knife at him. Oh, yeah. Okay, totally two different incidents. You didn't ask for somebody to throw water on you, correct?

No, no, not at all. And you weren't performing? I wasn't doing my job. You weren't performing. He actually assaulted you, to be honest. Yeah, that's an assault. What was the result? What was the result? It was shocking.

So I don't think she she was wrong throwing a mic at whatever whoever threw water at her okay did you get fired by the way this is two totally different scenarios two totally different circumstances did you get fired no i did not actually he was very scared of me after that he was very respectful like people were very scared of me, which I really liked. Did the knife hit his mark? Did the knife hit his mark? It was like a butter knife, honestly. It was just that scary.

I'm going to be honest with you. You're going to be the star of somebody's true crime series in the future. I can already see it happening. 800-585-1051 if you're just joining us, we're talking about Cardi B. Yesterday we spoke about Cardi B's incident. Today, there's more information that came out. And we'll talk about it some more 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. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Cardi B. Yesterday, we reported that Cardi B was performing out in Vegas. By the way, our special guest host, Willie D, is here, too. She was performing out in Vegas, and while she was performing, somebody threw a drink at her, and she threw the mic back at them.

She didn't hit the young girl. She actually hit somebody else, allegedly. But that's not what we're talking about. Some more details came out, some more footage, where Cardi B asked fans to throw water on her because she said it was so hot. So we're asking, does that change your mind frame, the way you're thinking, what you thought yesterday?

By the way, does it change my mind frame? A little bit, yeah. A lot of it, actually. You know what I mean? Because if Cardi was telling people to throw water on her, like your fans are going to get overexcited. They're going to be overzealous, and they're not going to know when to quit. And some of them will go overboard.

And clearly this young lady went overboard. But that's why you shouldn't encourage fans to do nothing except for watch the show, put their hands in their head, wave them like they just don't care. But there's a difference between water and liquor. Let's just say the girl threw liquor. Like nobody puts liquor in a double cup. Man, we don't know if she threw liquor at night. That's why I said legend. But how would she know that fast that that was liquor? Oh, you know

when I hit you in the face. Nah. Yes, you do. I didn't say anything. But she instantly reacted. Well, yeah. I ain't see all that now maybe adding a lot of sauce to it no sauce first you said now you saying it's liquor you said it was like i said in the hair i ain't see all that well let's go to the phone line hello who's this hey y'all hey it's jay hey jay good morning good morning good morning what's your thoughts j Jay? Um, pretty good. It's not wrong at all.

What so ever. So even, even, even if she was encouraging people to throw water on her? Yes, because at the end of the audio clip, you heard her. She said, this is not my face. He gave her boundaries. Oh, she did say that. Okay. Yeah.

The girls threw the water way after that. When she started performing. And either way, when somebody said they found it, they set the boundary for whatever reason. See, this is why... The reason might be because putting one in my face, that's gonna trigger me, and I'm so committed. See, this is why I can't even have conversations about this stuff,

because I don't be seeing all this stuff. I don't be paying all attention. I don't be hearing everything that a person's saying. I'm not paying attention to all the details. New videos popping out. New audio popping out. Whatever, man. Everybody did what they felt like they had to do, I'm not paying attention to all the details. New videos popping out. New audio popping out. Whatever, man. You know, everybody did what they felt like they had to do, I guess. Hello, who's this?

Yo, what's good? It's Dingo. What up, boys? What up, brother? What's your thoughts, brother? Hey, chillin', chillin'. First off, RDB is guilty. Breakfast Club Court, RDB is guilty.

She's wrong. She knew. She's in Las Vegas, right? is guilty. She wrong. She knew. She in Las Vegas, right? And you at a club. Is water gonna be thrown everywhere? Especially at the little rooftop parties and all that. And then you go, how you gonna go from the few minutes saying, throw some water on

my ass, and then you get mad and somebody throws some water on you when you weren't ready for it. You gonna throw a fight. That's why. That's wrong. So yeah, she's found. She had a alive for that and I think old girl should sue get your money sis

she's definitely gonna sue whoever got hit with that microphone definitely gonna sue you never got sued Willie D? yeah they never collected

you know but they sued you for putting hands on them yeah damn yeah but you know I personally believe

that if you start a fight and get your ass whooped, you don't get nothing. You shouldn't get anything. That should be very clear. And thankfully, we have some people who are in law enforcement and who are in the courts who understand that. They're like, yo, no, this looks like somebody you would target. It's important to have people that's working in law enforcement and working in the courts who understand that this looks like somebody who's trying to get

a quick payday and get them on up out of here. And that would discourage a lot of that from happening. Because most of these people that do stuff like that, man, they ain't got two pennies to rub together. They have no scruples whatsoever. They have nothing going for themselves. And they see you and they're jealous.

They want to come up. You got the money. They feel like they should have it. And they want it. And they'll try you. So it's important. It's really important to have people around you, man, to serve as buffers. So these type of people can't get to you.

And if they do, then you let those people do what they do and you keep it moving. Because for me, you know, I will fight a lawsuit like a murder case. You know, like I ain't giving nothing. You ain't getting none of my money. I work for this. I ain't giving you jack. I'll fight a lawsuit like a murder case, bro.

Goddamn right. And I ain't giving them nothing. I mean nothing. You ain't getting nothing out of me. I mean zero. Nothing. And when they understand that, okay, let's leave them alone. Let's go try to find it easily. I ain't that dude.

You know, you messing with my money, you messing with Kane and Blake money. That's right. They're children, right? Yeah. That's right. That's right. Yeah. All right.

What's the moral of the story? I don't know if there's a moral of the story. The jury said Cardi not guilty. So Cardi not guilty. Well, be careful. Yeah. The moral of the story is be careful what you ask for. Be careful with me.

That's what Cardi's saying. Be careful with me. Look how he's saying it. Be careful with me. All right. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to report some sad news. Euphoria star Angus Cloud passed away yesterday. We'll give you all the information, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Come on. Ain't nothing wrong with what I just said. I made a statement. I said, somebody smell like dog. What's the problem with that? Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. I think you should tell people. Didn't we have this conversation?

Why don't you find out who it is? Three brothers walk in the room. Why do y'all smell like dog? They all look at each other. It ain't me. One of them young boys need to do something because I smelled something crazy just now. What is wrong with you, man? Alright, we got our guest co-host willie d here and we got to remind you tomorrow is living black that's right our annual love letter they say to black culture as we celebrate a 50th anniversary of hip-hop it's hosted by our very own just hilarious drop on the clues bombs for

Yeah, Big Boy, Nailah Simone. Yeah, they gonna be there. That's right. So, you can check it out on streams on iHeartRadio, YouTube, and Facebook channels. Okay. My bad. My bad. Let's rewind. Try it again. YouTube and Facebook channels okay when you take a ball 50th anniversary celebrations of hip-hop you even feeling it's whack okay why is this way it's whack why because a lot of it is overlooking many of the contributors and you know while some people

may say well at least they're showing some love at least we're getting hip-hop is getting some attention oh man it should be done right or it shouldn't be done at all but you know what i do like willie a lot of artists that weren't necessarily on tour or weren't necessarily getting booked like that or getting booked like never before. And they're getting money that they haven't seen in years. And I do love that. Yeah, that's good for those artists and their fans.

But what about the other artists and their fans? Like who? I mean, there's a number of artists. I mean, I ain't got to go through the list, man. But there's a number of artists. I mean, I ain't got to go through the list, man, you know, but there's a number of artists out there who has contributed greatly to hip-hop who is not in that mix and who is not in that discussion. And all you got to do, if you really are real hip-hop fans, y'all know who those artists are.

I ain't got to name them. Yeah, I don't think you can even celebrate 50 years of hip-hop in a yearall know who those artists are they ain't gotta name them yeah i don't think you can even uh celebrate 50 years of hip-hop in a year you know what i mean or in a matter of months like it's it's the year but the reason i said that and if you're and if you're all gonna do it i think everybody should do their own thing like like like uh the east coast should have one specific to them west coast should have one specific to them the south should have one specific to them like it all should be curated by people from those areas. Which means shows, concerts, TV performances. I just like the fact that these artists are getting booked, though.

Like, you look at some of these artists that, you know, I'm always on the road. So, the fact that I'm seeing these artists performing, like, I just seen a video of Rakim, and he's performing in front of 20,000 people. I've seen a video the other day of Slick Rick, Special Ed, Grandmaster Flash. I've seen so many different from those eras to Run to Salt-N-Pepa to, you know, whoever. But I haven't seen a lot of these artists on the road before like that. But I'm seeing them a lot now. And I just love to see those brothers getting that bread. Now, check this out. To Charlamagne's point, that's why we should have these celebrations in different regions.

Each region is celebrating their own because all those artists you just named are East Coast artists. Well, that's where I'm from. Exactly. And that's the region. Exactly. And people that are in powerful positions like you off rail off those type of names and stuff it's projected to the wider audience and they say what charlemagne said these are so it is to them those are the only people that matter because you said that they miss and when the grammys host uh

when grammys host a 50 year anniversary salute or whatever they call it and they decide who they're going to put on the stage that means that to the greater audience this is who's relevant this is who really made it happen these are the people who really count and so those other people are dismissed and that's not right that's cool if your your your favorite guy is on the stage that's great but what about the other guys who made great contributions who did not get the call that ain't right man that's not right and it's easy for a fan who saw their audience or saw their artists their favorite guy get on stage and do his thing that that's easy for them to say, oh man, stop

complaining. You know, hey man, at least I got to see this, I got to see that. But you ain't put in 30 years. You ain't put in 35, 40 years of hip hop contributions. You ain't been in the studio writing

the music, doing the tours, getting kicked off of tours, fighting with your with your label mates and fighting for more money from the from the label, fighting for respect for the culture. You ain't push pulled up on the DJs and say, yo, man, you know, you know, what about this? This song you told me you was going to play, man. You know, like you ain't stood outside passing out cds you ain't did none of that so it's easy for you to just jump in the comment section or the dumbest section and just run your mouth that that's not cool man i like it's not cool it's not cool at all and and and it's not for me it's not just about me i know a lot of people who

deserved to have gotten that call, man. And they didn't get it. But I'm just asking. Hit the Rural Report intro. I'm just asking, what artists have you not seen? Tell me some. Are you gossiping? I can't even begin to talk about it.

Tell me. And it depends on what you're talking about specifically. You're talking about the Grammys. We're just talking hip-hop. Hip-hop artists. Because I'm seeing more old school artists on the road Which I'm saying To Willie D's point All you do is name East Coast artists You know how many artists contributed to hip hop

From the West Coast From the South Right but I'm on the East Coast So these are the artists that I see Okay then So don't ask stupid questions And say who are we missing You know you're missing

You're missing Maddie from the East Coast Like who? People on the road People I'm saying that Before this year These artists weren't on the road people i'm saying that before this year these artists were on the road at all i don't even know if that's true they weren't they weren't that none of these tours were selling out like that they were doing now there's more and more tours some of them yes some it was the same old tour it seemed like going around and around and around

but now i'm seeing artists outside of that same that that usual realm performing more but with the exception of cool i think you mentioned cool her but with the exception of Kool, I think you mentioned Kool, Herc, but with the exception of Kool, Grandmaster Flash, with the exception of Grandmaster Flash, all those artists you meet, Slick Rick and Rakim, they're always working. They're always getting money. So, you know, they may

be playing bigger crowds, but they've always played big crowds. They're probably playing bigger crowds more frequently now, but they've always played big crowds. They're probably playing bigger crowds more frequently now, but they've always played big crowds. Yeah, like I'm looking now at the Shop Boys, Trillville, Pastor Troy, Crime Mob, Young Dro, Young Bloods. They got a show in Atlanta. I'm seeing more of it.

Yeah, but that's an Atlanta show. Yeah, but I'm seeing more and more of those shows happening. But think about it. But you've never seen before. The Grammys ain't going to invite none of the people that you talk about. I'm not worried about the Grammys. Grammys don't expect to appreciate us about the grammys but a lot of people not going to invite a lot of the people that you just named like the shop boys and all of those

but you're seeing more of it on the road that's what i'm saying it takes a show in atlanta to curate a show for atlanta to recognize those guys that have contributed but honestly before the 50th anniversary you wouldn't have seen a show like that i don't think they would have did that that's you weren't seeing shows like that that show though that tour you just mentioned is is not related to the grammys at all i wasn't talking grammys i'm never grammys don't do nothing for us anyway i'm not talking grammys like that so they can't get the credit for that show that was not the grammys i was talking about 15th by the way that was actually one of the um i loved the podcast that uh you know willie d and face got a podcast on the Black Effect Network called Ghetto Boys Reloaded.

The last episode y'all did together was actually you addressing Face as to why he didn't, he shouldn't have done the Grammys without you. Right. Yes. And I thoroughly enjoyed that conversation. Yeah.

Have y'all gotten past that? Have y'all talked since then? For people that don't know, Face performed at the Grammys without Willie D, of course. Yes. It should have been a Ghetto Boys. Should have been Ghetto Boys. Yeah, yeah. for people that don't know face performed at the grammys without willie d of course yes it should have been a ghetto boy should have been ghetto boys yeah yeah and especially being that he didn't mind playing tricks yeah and and just to let everybody know i did talk to one of the grammys

trustees and they he did tell me that yeah well in fact we were talking about something that was totally unrelated to the grammy and he was like yeah man and by the way about that grammy's day yeah uh yeah you were right they did call and ask for the ghetto boys hold on we got to come back and talk about this let's do let's do donkey come back and talk about this all right let's talk about this all right uh well donkey today up next yes four after the hour is going to a scammer named linda johnson but she's a scam artist and we also have to understand why they're called artists they do paint a pretty picture she didn't think this one all the way through though all right we'll get to it next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings

will never be the same are you someone who knows you don't have to sacrifice comfort for quality someone who lives large in life and in the bedroom then live large and now thinner with new magnum raw condoms the thinnest Magnum condom available where condoms are sold we're gonna be a donkey right now you want some real donkeys it's time for donkey of the day so if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man hit me with the heel did she get donkey today please tell me I have become donkey of the day. At the Breakfast Club, bitches. We're donkey.

Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 1st, goes to a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania woman named Linda Johnson. Linda Johnson is a former general manager at the greatest fast food restaurant in regards to providing comfort, and that is Wendy's, okay? Wendy's is the greatest of all time when it comes to providing comfort. I'm not here to argue with y'all about none of this McDonald's Chick-fil-A. All those places are cool. But when it comes to providing fantastic comfort food, nothing is better than Wendy's. OK, this is not a commercial. I'm not being paid to say this. I just have very fond memories of Wendy's because when I used to drive my grandma in the town back in the day in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, that's what she used to like to do.

Stop at Wendy's and she wanted her fries and she wanted them hot. Okay. And Wendy's to this day still provides me that sense of comfort. Now, Linda is facing a felony charge of theft by deception. Oh, she is the number one scammer. Okay. I can't lie to y'all. I love hearing about a creative scam. There is a reason they call people scam artists because a scam artist knows how to paint a pretty picture. They have to be creative artists in order to get you to do what it is they want you to do. And Linda has painted a pretty picture. She actually did one of the most creative scams I've seen in a long time.

Would you like to know what Linda has done? Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. Former general manager out of Wendy's in Leicester County was found stealing from the store, according to an audit. Linda Johnson allegedly checked in and out as a fake employee for over a year from July 2021 to April 2022. Officials say that the theft amounted to almost $20,000. Documents from the investigation say that Johnson admitted to creating the fake employee and that the paychecks went to her cash out. Linda Johnson created a fake employee, clocked in and out as a ghost employee and had the paychecks go to her bank account. And that's why she's getting donkey in the day to day.

Why would you have these checks go to your account? You don't have a cousin, a friend. You couldn't open up an LLC. I'm not encouraging you to do the crime at all. But if you're going to do the crime, I mean, damn, damn if you're going to scam the key to scamming is not getting caught okay the key to scamming is to not have a paper or digital trail that leads right to you now let me tell you my favorite part of this story okay i was reading this uh when other managers were questioned about the worker, okay, the ghost worker.

Police said some could not remember working with them, while one manager reported that they met him once. Can we stop right here and play a game of Guess What Race It Is? Now, we're not playing a game of Guess What Race It Is for Lynda Johnson. Okay, I don't care what race she is. I don't even know what race she is. But I want to know what race do y'all think this person was who just lied about meeting an employee who never existed. He said he met him one time.

Let me repeat the story. Linda Johnson, general manager on Wendy's, created a ghost employee, an employee that never existed. She got about 20 grand sent to her bank account. When other managers were questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them while one manager, just one, volunteered a lie and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Willie D, guess what race it is. Oh, man, that's hard.

That sounds like a... It could be anybody, but... It could be any race, but... Just say it, Willie. I know it's on the tip of your tongue. I know you don't want to do it, but just say it. You know, I'm just going to say white just because I blame everything. I'm just kidding.

Envy. Linda Johnson created a fake worker at Wendy's and collected 20 grand. When other managers were questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them. While one volunteer lied and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Envy. Guess what race it is. I know you want to say what Willie wanted to say.

What's the name? Willie didn't want to say it what's the name? we don't know the name say it Asian no it's the

it's the black man looking out for the black sister you know what I'm saying that's what see see I get why Willie feel that way though

cause when you think about all the times white people have made up mysterious black figures to pin crimes on okay and in light of carly russell lying about seeing that baby on the side of the highway you know i can understand

why even we would even think it was black i don't know what race this person is but i feel like this was one of us okay because we why do we like to lie for no damn reason at all we tell each other we five minutes away when we haven't even gotten in the shower yet. We pick up the phone and tell each other we're going to call you right back knowing damn well you're not going to call back until you remember a week later. We tell each other, hey man, we need to connect. Let's go do lunch or something. Knowing damn well we have

no plans to do none of that. Why? Do you know I do this to people on purpose? I do this in conversation. Sometimes I just be talking, right? I just want to see how full of caca somebody is, right? So I'll be talking. I'll be like you know ricky right knowing damn well ricky don't exist and we'd be quick to be like yeah yeah yeah i know ricky i know ricky i was just with him last week you don't know goddamn ricky you know damn well you never met this person once because this person doesn't exist but for whatever reason you just decided to tell the powers that be at wendy's

you met this person once you putting yourself into a situation, making yourself a witness to something that Linda already admitted the police she did. She said during a video call in April that she created the employee and had the paycheck set up to go to her Cash App account. If it was me, not only would I fire Linda, I would fire this co-worker who decided to lie for no damn reason. You're not welcome here. You can't be trusted. Because I was always taught, if you lie, you will steal. And the fine folks at Wendy's ain't got no time for no more thieves. Please give Lynda Johnson the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey. Of the day. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. We really like to lie for no reason. For no damn reason at all. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey today. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace, BET. All right. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. I seen this. This went viral the other day.

I seen Willie D actually posted it as well. This man was talking about his struggles of dating in LA. He said he got stood up on a date. He said he planned it all out. He had flowers. He did everything right. But his date never showed up so i just left a restaurant after waiting 30 minutes for a date to show up and apparently i got stood up i don't know what

to say like i'm trying to do everything right to be a gentleman i brought flowers i've been consistent talking with this girl for two weeks trying to get to know what she likes what she doesn't like i made plans i picked the restaurant the day and the time i've done everything to be just the kind of guy that would value somebody's time like i just i'm just looking for my person i'm just looking for the one that i guess is out there for me ladies tell me what did i do wrong all right well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 willie what's your thoughts the first thing he did wrong was bring some flowers to a woman that he ain't ever met before two weeks in you bringing flowers let me tell you something man that is a no-no really i was at a no-no i don't think it's nothing wrong No, no, no. Flowers are a sentimental gesture.

It is for somebody who you feel serious sentiments about two weeks. Man, you don't know a woman like that. Two weeks now. I'm not giving you no flowers. I'm not giving you a bouquet of flowers after just talking to you on the phone for two weeks. So what should you do on our first date, Willie? At the most, at the most, one flower might be cool. Yeah, a cool flower. One flower.

Just one single flower. No, you can get a bouquet of flowers. Not roses, though. I wouldn't get no roses. You ain't got to get roses, but you know. One single rose. Look, it's a nice. One single rose is a nice gesture. Well, let's talk about it. a nice player one single role it's a nice gesture let's talk about it let's talk let's talk about it hold on

willie let's talk about it what would you bring on the first date willie me i'm gonna bring me and i'm gonna bring me and and a good conversation because that's what's really that's really what's what's it about the first date we're trying to know the person we're trying to learn each other right let's talk about it when we come back. 800-585-1051. Willie D is our guest host. Do you agree with Willie D? Are flowers and gifts on the first date too much? That is the question.

800-585-1051. Let's discuss when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about this guy that's been trending on social media. Now, he was trending because he went on a date, and it didn't go as planned. He was damn near crying. Let's hear what he said. So I just left the restaurant after waiting 30 minutes for a date to show up, and apparently I got stood up. I don't know what to say. I'm trying to do everything right to be a gentleman. I bought flowers.

I've been consistent talking with this girl for two weeks, trying to get to know what she likes, what she doesn't like. I made plans. I picked the restaurant, the day and the time. I've done everything to be just the kind of guy that would value somebody's time. I'm just looking for my person. I'm just looking for the one that i

guess is out there for me ladies tell me what did i do wrong all right and we're asking 805 85 105 one what's your thoughts now willie deed doesn't feel like this guy should have brought flowers at all he thought that was the first red flag first red flag second red flag is all that damn crime see look man don't no woman want to do like that leading them. I know there's a lot of women who was in the comments or the dumbest section making these suggestions that we should show this guy some sympathy. Poor guy. That's bad. Those same women would not date that guy under any circumstances.

Bringing bringing flowers to a woman on the first date is a red flag she probably saw him that's why she didn't show up she probably saw him from a distance I had one of her friends who work at the restaurant you know put him on a FaceTime or something and be like it's show show me let me see what this dude like what oh girl and she probably called one of her friends. Girl, that dude is crazy. He got some goddamn flowers, a whole bouquet of flowers. He, yeah, yeah. You think flowers is that bad? I think it depends on what kind of flowers.

Like, it's a first date, so I do agree with Willie. It's a first date, you know what I mean? So that might be moving kind of fast. But I don't think it's a bad gesture. But I just wouldn't bring a dozen roses. Maybe some tulips, some lilies, some sunflowers. Something nice. Something just, you know, because, you know, it's something nice.

I think this starts the date off in a positive direction. Yeah. You come pick up a date. Yeah, I don't mind that. Or she come here, you go, Ma, there's a bouquet of flowers. It just can't be roses. Roses is very sentimental, romantic. Roses is, it shows more than that.

Especially depending on what color, right? Man, this ain't no prom date, bro. This ain't prom. This is just a regular old date. Man, yeah, I've been talking to this chick for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to get to know her. It is very important that you not spook a woman that you first meet. Yeah, you know, after they've dated for a while and they really know each other

and she understands him, he understands her. You know, he can buy roses anytime. It's great. But you got to be very careful because women can easily get spooked you think flowers is i don't think i think flowers can spook a woman because i think roses will i think a little basket of sunflowers isn't roses flowers yeah but roses the different colors mean romantic like red means romance no that means love i thought yeah red means love and romance i forgot what white and all that means but i I would like some tulips, some lilies. Okay, so if rose is cool, is diamond stud earrings cool, too?

Oh, that's crazy. That's what it was. Bro, flowers, you can get flowers for $10, $15 at Walmart. What about a teddy bear? Hell nah. All right, Willie, all right. So I'm going to change the situation for you, right? Nah.

Let's say, Willie, you got a daughter, right? Yeah. And a gentleman comes to pick up your daughter. You don't want him to come with some flowers no i want him to come with the right attitude it's more important that's right we're trying to learn each other so it's more important that that that you know you you learn each other and watch each other mannerisms and and and and get familiar with one another. That's the most important thing. I think, you know, like it ain't even where you,

where you take them. It's not about fancy restaurants and, and, and, and, and gifts and all that kind of stuff. It's about the human connection. That's what it's about.

It's not about all that other stuff. And this is where we get confused that he don't think the flowers helped to open up the human connection. No, damn. Let's go. There's a lot of people. Let me tell you something. You have to really think when you're doing this when you're dealing with a woman you have to like get out of your feelings you got to get out of your emotions and think to yourself

if i do this how can she how how might she interpret it and you got to take out the as much wiggle room for interpretation as possible you You might say, damn, nobody ever gave me tulips before. Right. This is special. This is nice. Nobody ever gave me tulips before. This dude's a cornball. Tonya.

Yes. Tonya, what's up? Talk to us. Flowers on the first date, Tonya. What you think? Hey, guys. Listen. Yes.

Flowers on the first date. I mean, it's fine. It's not like It's a big deal He did everything right It's just the only thing That I felt That he did wrong

Is he's whining about it A woman does not want to hear A man whine I think I agree with that Yeah but the flowers I don't see nothing wrong with it Hello who's this? Hello

Hey what's your name bro? This is Drew from the Bronx Oh from the Bronx What you bring on your first date? Bacon, egg and cheese? Hello. Hey, what's your name, bro? This is Bro from the Bronx. Oh, from the Bronx. What'd you bring on your first date? Bacon, egg, and cheese. Bacon, egg, and cheese. A bacon, egg, and cheese.

A box of backwoods. A box cutter. I want to answer that question with the flowers. I think Willie D is wrong about that. I think you can give a girl flowers anytime you feel like you want to give her flowers. That's how you feel about it? One day, two weeks? It doesn't matter.

And if you a lady's man, you're going to do that anyway. And that's why the bodega sells flowers, right? And the flowers are cheap at the bodega. Stop hanging up on people. Hello, who's this? How you doing this morning? Can you hear me? I can hear you now.

What's your thoughts, mama? Hi, this is Suzy. Suzy, what do you think about flowers on the first date, Suzy? I think that that was a good gesture like i think eight four three hold on i get you in you so you know we romantic we romantic from the you already know what yes i mean but yeah i think he did a good thing like that was the right thing for him to do was to bring the flowers that was her loss okay i agree see we're romantic in the low country you know what i'm saying willie just made all the floors in texas lose money this morning hey say i'm i'm a romantic guy too but i believe that romance

has to be earned i don't i don't i'm not just giving no any chick romance like yeah we're gonna have a conversation first let me see if you are deserving. Just like a woman shouldn't give any man romance. Right. I think there's levels to it. And if it don't work out, whatever's left

is better than whatever left. Rob, what's your thoughts, Rob? Yeah, what's up? Yeah, I'm with Willie D, man. First off, you got to set up the date to something that you are going to be doing yourself that if somebody don't show up,

then you can still do you. Number two, chivalry is pretty much there nowadays as far as women appreciating shit like that. You got to make them work to earn that. You got to get out there and use your mouthpiece at first to see if they're about something.

And then after that, you can escalate to getting gifts and getting flowers. I don't think we should let women dictate how we move as romantics. Meaning that if I'm the type of person that like to bring a woman flowers, I'm going to just bring the woman flowers. Now, if she messed that up, then we won't go no further than the flowers in this date. You know? Yeah, but you see how it ended for him crying on the internet see see so we could say all this stuff where we want to but but if we look at the we look at these situations in general these this is usually the result yeah you know there is a such thing as a guy being too kind too fast too kind too fast is a red flag yeah and i think this is the thing that what that lady said about the

whining is important because i feel like he had a sense of entitlement you know what i mean even though he did get stood up like what if something happened like your mind don't even go to maybe something happened but it seems like this wasn't the she had an emergency this seems like he's been stood up numerous times this is all he can stand he can't stand no more come on that's what i'm saying a lot of times these guys i heard some people saying that well you see this is what happens when you do guys stuff do stuff like this the guys they end up being mass murderers serial killers and rapists and all this kind of stuff because people pick on them and bully them let me tell you something man if being rejected it's going to make you that you are chump you're a sucker anyway now look man they're great up there have been greater

men than us who have been rejected and picked themselves up dust themselves off and kept it moving. You get rejected, man, you keep it moving. And if you are that what you think you are, then it's her loss anyway. We'll take some more calls, 800-585-1051. But Willie, I will say that's today's society and that's part of the problem, right?

Because before you get rejected, what your pops or your family tell you to do, you go back out there and try again. Suck it up, buttercup. Same thing if you get into a bully let's say you got a problem with a bully what did your pops do you go fight that bully if you lose you go fight him again you go fight him again or you learn if he's making fun of you you learn how to make fun of him back it was never to the point where you got to go cry because your family wasn't going to allow it now i feel like a lot of times we we put gloves hand we we hand massage

these kids with gloves where they feel like it's the end of the world when they get talked about i agree they feel like they get it's the end of the world when they get dissed on a date the only thing i don't agree with is that whole bully thing i always thought that was a lie somebody beat your ass good one time you ain't going back no matter who puts you to call back well well the thing about it is that if you fight a bully typically if you fight a bully and you fight back you usually don't have to deal with that because bullies don't like resistance that's right bullies like easy targets they like soft targets and this is why it's important when somebody bullies you it's it's important to stand up for yourself the first time because if you don't you are teaching them that it's okay to bully.

So you don't think that man stood up for himself on the Internet by whining like that? No. You're letting these women know y'all going to stop playing with me. No, I think he laid down for himself and he did himself a huge disservice. And no woman, no woman that's really about something would want to procreate with a dude like that. What is he going to teach his boy? To cry harder? Look, Dad, your cry was weak look at my cry dad you know i'm saying all that no man get on up out of here with the woman stop all that crying man stop all that not just him all you other dudes you newscasters i've been seeing news i've been

wanting to say this for a long time you newscasters out here all this damn crying stop all that i'm talking about specifically black men stop all that damn crying man you know like it's a time and a place for everything i'm not one of those dudes who subscribe to the concept that men should not cry i'm not i'm not that dude but there is a time and place for everything and we have to learn to control our emotions if there's two things that a man must control in order to operate at his optimum it is his emotions and his penis we got to learn to control that if you can do that man you can rule okay 800-585-1051 we'll take some more calls it's the breakfast club good morning. The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. 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 this video that went viral about this man that went on a date. It was his first date. He brought flowers.

He got stood up. He was crying. Willie D said, well, he shouldn't have brought flowers. Flowers is too early. He don't understand why right so we're taking your calls 800-585-1051 of course willie d is our guest co-host this morning misha good morning misha good morning good morning what's your thoughts misha i don't feel like he was wrong for bringing her flowers there was nothing wrong with that oh I don't feel like he was wrong for bringing her flowers. There was nothing wrong with that. Oh, you don't see nothing wrong with that?

No. Flowers are not that expensive, and it's a good gesture. Yeah, I think as long as they're not roses, I think it's cool. What if you would have bought her a pair of red bottoms? That's a little too far. That's wild. I mean, roses is like, flowers is $7 to $10. Red bottoms is a commitment.

They might be like, yeah. But what woman ain't going to accept those red bottoms? Yeah, but I wouldn't do that. That's doing too much. Because if I'm a woman, I'm looking at, do you do this all the time? You just randomly give people red bottoms? Flowers is a little. Do you randomly just give people flowers? Flowers is different, though.

Because you can just give them to a person just because you want to light up their life. Flowers are a, though, because you can just give them to a person just because you want to light up their life. Flowers are a sentimental gesture. Being sentimental to a woman should be earned. It should be something earned. If you give it to her too fast, she's not going to appreciate it. The same thing with a man. You don't pay for the meal either. You give it to her too fast, she's not going to appreciate it.

You don't pay for the meal either? I pay for the meal. That's easy. You know what I'm saying? I would do that. I mean, I'm old school in the sense that I do believe that men pay for everything. Women are hypergamous. You know what I'm saying? Like, I believe in that.

Mack. You know, I'm cool with that. I have no problem with that. Hey, what's going on? Good morning. Good morning. Mack, what's your thoughts, brother? Hey, so first of all, good morning, everybody.

Good morning, King. You know, girl, where are the flowers? I'm not bringing her flowers on the first date. And first of all, I'm not taking you out to a fancy dinner. We can go to a coffee dinner, something that gets us talking, gets us to know each other in a public space. It feels safe. And that's it. Before I got married, every date I had, we went to Barnes & Noble.

We got to see what kind of books you're into. And if you want a coffee, I got you. I'll pay for Starbucks. That ain't nothing wrong for me. And then I'll take you on a nice date afterwards. I'm going to be honest with you. I think that's more, I think going to Barnes and Nobles is very intimate.

But you know what? The guy also said he was talking to her for the last two weeks, I guess on the phone. I guess he did the initial conversations. He said he was feeling around to see what she liked, what she didn't like. So he was already doing the initial conversations. I hope some of y'all keeping notes.

Cause I, you know, even though Willie D disagrees, I think bringing a woman flowers on her first date is cool. But also that Barnes and Nobles thing is dope. Meeting a woman at Barnes and Nobles and y'all just notes because i you know even though willie d disagrees i think bringing a woman flowers on her first date is cool but also that barnes and nobles thing is dope meeting a woman at barnes and nobles and y'all just having a conversation at barnes and nobles y'all can talk about what kind of books y'all like and stuff like that that's that's cool and it's very cost effective but what's the moral of the story oh the moral of the story man i really want y'all to listen to me because you know everybody's looking for somebody i understand that so please listen to me please are y'all listening okay just because you haven't found the right person doesn't mean you will

namaste huh all right well let's get right to the rumor report let's go rumor has it rumor rumor has it 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. Now, Euphoria star Angus Cloud was found dead yesterday at the age of 25. TMZ is reporting that Angus Cloud, the actor made famous on the HBO show Euphoria has died. The actor's family confirmed the news saying Cloud

buried his father last week and struggled with the loss but did not say anything about how he died. The actor has been open about his own battle with mental health. As a rising star in Hollywood he will be best remembered for his breakout role as Fezco on Euphoria. Angus was 25 years old. So young. That's horrible man man god bless that brother uh i think they said he buried his father last week yeah last week yeah and from what i read he was overcome with grief and you know he's talked about his mental health issues before so man let's just you know keep encouraging people to invest in their mental wealth and seek the healing they need and just be there for people when you can for everybody out there dealing with something man

don't you don't have to hold it in find somebody to talk to yeah absolutely yeah i'm gonna say this man you know mental health is something that we all deal with some people have been diagnosed clinically with mental health but we all have bouts of depression we all have setbacks and letdowns. And at the end of the day, it's how you process it, which gets you through it and understanding that life

really ain't supposed to be easy. Life is supposed to be trying. It's supposed to be challenges. And I wake up every day knowing that. I don't look forward to it, but I wake up every day knowing that. So't look forward to it, but I wake up every day knowing that. So when something happens to me traumatically in my life, if I get let down by somebody that I care about, I know how to get through it because I understand that it's a process. Whatever that process is, I know I just got to go through the steps and then it'll be just like objects in a rearview mirror.

You ever notice how when you're driving and you're looking at rearview mirror, if if something's right behind you, if that if that object remains still, the further you drive away from it, the smaller it gets. That's the way problems in life are. You keep on going forward and eventually you don't don't see that thing behind you at all. That's the way life is. And so far, all of us, no matter what we've gone through in life, we're batting 1,000. In baseball, 1,000 is a perfect batting average. So that means that every single time you faced a problem, you got on base. You got on base some kind of way, whether it was a walk, a single, a double, a triple, a home run. you got on base you know you got on base some kind of way whether it was a walk a single a double a triple a home run you got on base you got hit by the ball you got on base

so far every single one of us have gotten through every single thing that we've ever experienced that we thought we might not be able to get through what you're saying you just got to stay in the game you got to stay in the game and you got to keep waking up and you got to learn that it's a process. Yeah, man. If you have a breakup, if you're in a relationship and you break up with somebody and you truly love that person, you just got to know that keep on going forward

and things are going to get better. And there's people and resources to help you stay in the game. And there's people and resources to help you get through that process. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. You just got to leave yourself open to seek those things. Yeah. Yeah.

It's very important to understand the process. The process in a breakup is typically, first of all, hate. I mean, you know, well, it's rejection. Sometimes it's hate. Sometimes it's depression. You know, it's sadness. Sometimes you cry. But you get to understand when these things are happening to you that that's part of the process.

It doesn't mean that, that you know something is wrong with you you're human so these are things that happen to all of us that's right but just keep on waking up and you know things are gonna get better so once you understand that man you can pretty much deal with anything that's right but we also got to send a rest in peace to uh actor peewee herman paul rubens yeah i was about to say paul rubens but play you know of course play We also got to send a rest in peace to actor Pee Wee Herman. Paul Reubens. Yeah. I was about to say Paul Reubens, but play, you know, of course, play Pee Wee's theme song. I have no idea what that was.

Yeah. We got to congratulate. I do wish that sometimes people like Benzino would do like a book or a documentary.

Like we talk about, you know, the 50th anniversary of hip hop and, you know, people know people you know doing their own celebrations and documenting their own things i want to see people start documenting their own but you know sometimes to give more context to it yeah but sometimes in those those situations like somebody like benzino even willie d's been through so much you might not remember till somebody asks you a question you remember the time you got hit

in a concert they'd be like yeah i remember that time somebody threw a shoe at me and then i went in crowd and beat him up and then it starts bringing back those memories you should write a book that's what you know that's why you see it all the time i do some type of documentary i want to see everybody tell their their own story their way yeah that's what i want all right well that is your rumor report we got the people's choice mix coming up and then also when we come back we got to talk about our very own angie martinez some something that dope that's happening with her.
