Good morning, USA! That's black and highly favored, man. Drop a bomb for my son Jackson. Yesterday, he got the game ball for his baseball team yesterday. So, congratulations to Jackson. He was super-duper excited. What did he do to win the game ball? How good of a game did he have? Well, he got two hits. He got a single and a double. Hit it into the outfield.

But, you know, when you're eight years old, when you smack it into the outfield, that's a big thing. Okay. So, he smacked it into the outfield yesterday. Got a double and then had an RBI. That's dope. Dominicans get their kids playing baseball early, man. You're getting them started early. Not Dominican, sir. I'm black. It's okay. It's okay.

And you know what? I'm glad you said that because Rob Parker will be joining us this morning. He's a sports analyst, sports writer. Legendary sports analyst, sports writer. And I was talking to somebody yesterday. Shout to Jason Griffith. You know, he works at Sony Records. He's a record promoter out there.

He hit me yesterday and was like, yo, you don't know how much of a legend Rob is. And I said, what do you mean? He was like, when I was a kid, he would actually coach the young kids how to play baseball. He was his first coach and was trying to get minorities into playing baseball back in Queens. So, salute to Rob Parker. I didn't know that. I didn't know he was coaching Little League and did all that. Well, tell Jason, of course we know how much of a legend Rob Parker is.

That's why he's on The Breakfast Club this morning. I saw Rob in the street. And I was like, oh, shoot, Rob Parker. You know what I mean? That's how, that's like, so yes, we know how much of a legend Rob Parker is. He's got a website and a podcast called MLBBro.com. And I think it's dope because, you know, Rob is, like you said, he's trying to get more black people into baseball.

To baseball, right. You know what I mean? So it's dope. Even though your children are Dominican. My children are not Dominican. They're black. But yeah, I love that. And I love the fact that growing up in Queens, you know, it was hard to play baseball because

there weren't too many baseball teams out there. So like I had to go to Long Island and play baseball. I know certain areas, like I know Rosedale and Queens have baseball but there was basketball everywhere there was a football soccer because it's a very Caribbean town in Queens I grew up like in a Haitian town so they like soccer was big also Matt Haitians and Dominicans no I didn't say Dominican I said I grew up in a Haitian town Haitian area and okay it was heavy soccer football is what they called it so who else we got this morning all right We got the Tejada Brothers from Power.

You know them. That's Lavelle Adams Gray and Woody McClain. They'll be joining us this morning. Kane and Drew will be here this morning. That's right. Okay. And also, over the weekend, they're doing a huge Doula Expo. All right.

Like what? Meaning providing emotional support, even though I was providing emotional support. Even though I was providing emotional support, but not like she does. But I mean, it's not even just like during the actual birth.

It's like, you know, for the eight, nine months leading up to the birth. You know, just constantly with the wife, making sure the wife

is taking the proper things that she should be taking. And, you know, just there for them. Okay. You know, she can explain it better than I can. Okay. I'm just asking because she was there for two of yours know, just, just dare for them. Okay. You know, she can explain it

better than I can. Okay. No, I'm just asking because she was there for two of yours, right? Dude, the last two. The last two, yeah. Showed you how much

I was paying attention. I just was saying. Okay. Games on. I do remember one thing in particular. I remember my wife was supposed

to have gone in the labor already but hadn't and I remember Latham telling her to take some a cup of cast oil and I remember

she went into labor that night after taking that cup of cast oil. Really? Yep. Usually they say sex. Not a cup of cast oil

but like a A shot? Some cast oil. Some cast oil. Yeah, some cast oil. Right. I remember that. Right.

And cast oil meaning not because somebody I remember the acupuncture too. For our fourth child It was the same thing The baby was supposed To be there that week It's like

Do some acupuncture She did some acupuncture And I think the baby She went into labor that day Really Yeah or that night Cause usually they say sex Or if the mom walks

So they tell the mom To walk around the mall That's not like the stuff Y'all googled I'm not saying that don't work But you know We never had no problem That ain't the stuff

The doula provided. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. We got front page news coming up. Teslin Figueroa will be joining us. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now Teslin Figueroa

is here. Good morning Tes. The hood whisperer. Good morning DJ Envy and Charlemagneagne how you feeling i'm feeling good glad it's friday you and me both let's get right into it now last night the sports the nuggets beat the lakers 108 103 the lakers were up by like 12 at one point but they couldn't hold down the nuggets nuggets lead that series 2-0 and i think the nuggets gonna win it all personally i mean i picked golden state at the beginning of the year but uh i think the nuggets gonna win it all now let's get into some news now uh white supremacist label is the same as saying the n-word yes according to marjorie taylor green uh at a press conference the far

right republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green spoke about a confrontation outside the capital the day before with the new York Democratic Congressman Jamal Bowman. Green said that Bowman was shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense to that. It's like calling a person of color the N-word, which should never happen. Calling me a white supremacist is equal to that, and that is wrong. Now, Representative Jamal Bowman did respond. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

We'll talk about it on the other side. Majority Taylor Greene in her press conference this morning said something incredibly dangerous and incredibly reckless about me. Talking about my demeanor as being aggressive and saying that she feels intimidated by me. Unfortunately, this country has a history of characterizing black men who are outspoken, who stand their ground and who push back as being threatening or intimidating. So she's not even using a dog whistle. She's using a bullhorn to put a target on my back to the people that she refers to as MAGA people out there who might want to cause harm. This is the same reason why Mike Brown was killed. Salute to Congressman Jamal Bowman. I like that brother a lot. And he's absolutely right. You know what I mean? there who might want to cause harm this is the same reason why mike brown was killed salute the

congressman jamal bowman i like that brother a lot and he's absolutely right you know what i mean and she knows what she was doing it's the same reason it's the same way when you see uh that young lady that white woman this week with the city bikes when she started yelling and screaming you know what i mean because the brothers had the city bike she started yelling help help like they started crying fake tears and all that they know how to weaponize uh they whiteness when they need to all right well that is front page and question is it safe to call a white person a They started crying fake tears and all that. They know how to weaponize their whiteness when they need to. All right. Well, that is front page news. And question, is it safe to call a white person a white supremacist if they call me an N-word?

It's pretty safe. I think you've been doing it quite a bit here lately. Yeah, if they call me an N-word, I don't prefer a white supremacist. I prefer a cracker ass cracker. That's my... Either or. That's my retort of choice. Both work.

Yes. All right. All right. Well, get it off your chest. We'll see you in a couple minutes, Tez. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent again, hit us up. 800-585-1051.

I just want to tell you people out there about road rage, all right? A friend of mine yesterday was in Atlanta, and the light changed. He beeped the horn, and the guy in front of him didn't move, so he beeped the horn again. And the guy pulled up On the side of him And was like Yo have a little patience So my man was like

I say the same thing. But clearly that was a white racist in that car. Absolutely.

Clearly that was a white supremacist. Clearly. If you lead with hand work. Yes. Clearly. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's a Friday. Let us know how you feel. I see Rick Ross venting this morning on my guy. What's he saying? Damn. What's he saying? Damn. What's he saying? We talk about it when we get back.

Somebody just sent me this. That's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Break it up. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Concerned Lunch Lady. Concerned Lunch Lady. Good morning, Concerned Lunch Lady. Get it off your chest. By the way, I love Lunch Ladies. My grandmother was a Lunch Lady at R.A. Ready Intermediate School in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Well, we thank you from the Myrtle Beach area.

Hey, okay. And yes, my concern is the politicians always talking about giving teachers and bus drivers raises. And what about bus drivers? What about custodians and cafeteria workers? That's right. We work just as hard. We're the only ones that see every student in the building.

That's right. Every day. I would say. And we make less than $600 every 15 days and it's no big deal to them. I never even thought about how much my grandmother made. My grandmother was a lunch lady and

my cousin Gloria. Wow, yeah, you never think about it. My cousin Gloria was a lunch lady. But you're right, Mama. Absolutely. You deserve, you definitely deserve raises. You definitely have to deal with some crazy kids sometimes, so you definitely deserve all the love. Yeah. Well, we love you and we appreciate you, mama.

And my cousin. Thank you and y'all have an awesome day. And my grandma's cousin, Miss Frances, was a lunch lady. All of them was cool. You know what I mean? Like my cousin Gloria and my grandma used to live by each other. And my cousin Frances used to live up the street from us. They was all lunch ladies. Hello, who's this?

Good morning. Good morning. This is Indy calling in. Indy, good morning. Get it off your chest. I just want to blast Howard University. They need to give us a little bit more money and loans. I'm sorry, and scholarships.

Oh, you're saying Howard University should be giving more back to the students? Yes. Okay, well, blast them. I never mind when somebody blasts Howard University. You're from Hampton. You're from Hampton. I don't mind when somebody blasts out a university. You're from Hampton. You're from Hampton. I don't mind when somebody blasts out. That's not right.

Go ahead. No, I'm from Florida. I am from Florida. And it don't make sense. My daughter get accepted in so many other schools for art programs. But Harvard University is offering the littlest money than other schools. And she look forward to sitting in a black excellent school. Let me ask you a question.

They're not offering anything. The other schools that gave her more scholarship money, were they HBCUs? No, they're not HBCUs. And that's part of the problem. A lot of times, you know, and shout to Howard, shout to all the HBCUs. A lot of the HBCUs don't have the money to give scholarships

like a lot of these PWI schools do. And that's the problem. So we have to make sure as alumni that we donate, that we go to those galas, that we make sure we send money back to our schools and funnel money back to those colleges so that they can give kids scholarships and can give kids book scholarships and jobs and all those other things. It's a lot of times they just don't have it, Mama, because they don't have the endowment that a lot of these other colleges do have. Yeah, they can't give you what they don't got yeah you're right you're so right

and i i got in there and i don't ever want us to uh i don't ever want people to think we're not practicing what we're preaching because i have an endowment fund at south carolina state uh university and my grandmother's name actually my grandmother who was a lunch lady called the ford uh family scholarship yeah and we just recently had a gala a week ago uh in the city for heaven university i think we raised over a hundred thousand dollars uh and that exactly is called the Ford Family Scholarship. Yeah, and we just recently had a gala a week ago in the city for Heaven University. I think we raised over $100,000. And that exactly is for that. For that student that might just need a couple of dollars

to graduate but can't afford it, so that money will go to them. I don't remember the collective that put it on, but I was there, Thea was there, Kendra G was there, Adima was there. So many people were there, DJ Precise, and they donated. They raised over $100,000.

Those are the things that we try to do to give back to those universities to make sure that the students can have the scholarships that is well needed. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the 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. The Breakfast Club. Edward, good morning. Get it off your chest. Good morning. I was calling because I'm still blessed to see another day and be out free, whatever. I had a road rage incident with this lady trying to run me off the road, even with her kids in the car. And I had to fire a shot at her, but then had to call the police and all that. Why'd you fire a shot at the lady, though?

Because she was running me off the road. And what happened when the cops came? Did they arrest you or did they drop the charges? Well, they actually tried to charge me with it at first when Aggregor saw I had a weapon. But I had witnesses on my side, but the case got dropped. Wow. Now, I know they say for every reaction, there's an equal and opposite reaction,

and you can't tell somebody how to react. But I've never thought about that as self-defense, but I guess it is right if somebody's trying to run you off the road and you feel like your life is in danger can you use a stand your ground type of mentality with that i feel like it'd be hard to beat because i think most people would be like well you could just stop the car you ain't gotta keep driving you could just stop the car unless you feel threatened like they're you know charging at you but yeah if she had pulled a gun on you then you would see it i can see... I can see that. If somebody tried to run you off the road,

they could be like, oh, you can just stop the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, I wouldn't think I was going to beat it either, but even 18-year-old Willow was trying to run her off the road, X-Side Bass, she was trying to swerve everybody off the road.

I'm like, why would you even put your kids in danger like that? Hold on, so you saw the kids in the car with her? Yeah, the kids in the car. And you still fired a shot? What a round of hands. Yeah, I know. I was trying to just aim toward, like, not the kids are just... And you still fired a shot? What a round of hands. Yeah, I know. I was trying to just aim

toward, like, not the kids, but just a driver trying to, like, slow her down or something, trying to... But people just don't do

what they want to do regardless. And she was just laughing the whole time. Like, it didn't even matter. Yeah, I'm not no lawyer, no law enforcement, but I don't see how you win that case.

If you saw a car full of kids and you still fired a shot, I get it. I can't tell nobody how to react, but damn. Hello, who's this? Hello, DJ in the show, Nova Guy. This is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Peace, peace, peace. Jessica, good morning. Get it off your chest. Okay, so I went on a date the other day, and I just want you to tell me if I'm bugging. What happened? So basically what happened is they wanted to take me out. I'm like, all right, cool, no problem.

We ended up going out to Ruth Chris and, you know, everything's going good and I eventually asked him what is it that he was looking for and I got the impression that he was not trying to

be in something serious. So I'm like, okay, no problem. As soon as the bill came, I told the waiter to split the check. He was like, oh, no, no, no So I'm like, okay, no problem. As soon as the bill came, I told the waiter to split the check. He was like, oh, no, no, no. I'm like, no, no, no, no. I'll pay for my own food and you pay for your own food. I don't want you

to waste your money spending I don't want you to waste your money spending on a girl that you don't want to be in a relationship with. And he was just looking at me mad crazy and saying I was doing too much. He took me home and then I pulled out more money to give him gas money. What are you trying to tell us, man? You're an independent woman?

No, I'm not saying that I'm, I'm not trying to say I'm an independent woman. I just sit there and believe that, look, if I'm going to sit, if I want a dude to go ahead and like take me out, I want him to know what he wants. You feel me? Don't sit there and say, oh, I want to sit there and casual date and see, you know, like what's out there. Like, no, if that's the case, why can't you say, oh, let's go hang

out and eat? But he did tell you what he wanted. You just didn't like what he said. He said he wasn't really looking for a serious relationship. Well, but don't, but do you believe that casual dating is like a waste of time? I mean, I don't, but you know, you're old. i don't know how old you are you might be looking for something i'm 30 i'm 32 yeah you're clearly looking for something

more serious so do you yes casual dating uh is a waste of time but don't you have to casual date and find somebody to find somebody you're gonna settle down with yeah well i think that's the thing i have to disagree i just say that if you want to like i feel like if you said that they want to go ahead and casual date i feel like they, like, I feel like if you said that they wanna go ahead on a casual date, I feel like they just don't know what they want.

You can't be picking rings after the first dinner, baby. Yeah, that's a little too much. You can't pick rings after the first date. Like, you know, you're gonna have to do some casual dating

in order to find that person that you wanna spend the rest of your life with. Alright. There's levels to this relationship thing, I would think. Yes.

Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, we got rumors on the way. And when we come back, we're going to find out why Rick Ross told Envy, bow down, beige boy. I'm not going back and forth with that fat man, but we'll talk about it when we come back. Yeah, he's still fat. Damn.

He's overweight. He's chunky. He can't fit in some of the cars that I drive or purchase or buy. Whoa. He has to stay with the mold school cars because those cars are big, for real. For real. Why are you doing this, man? Nah, I mean, I get it.

And, you know, Rick Ross does his own car show. And they've been kind of having a light back and forth. But Rick Ross has escalated things with this message that he sent to DJ Envy about their car shows. Let's listen.

He came in America on Rick Ross' bed. You need to stop this. The cast of Boomerang, they shot at your crib. They slept in your bed. What's wrong with that, though? He rented his house to them. Who rents their house? Let me ask you a question. Don't ask me nothing.

Let me ask you a question. Don't ask me anything in this segment. You think Jay-Z would rent the crib out that he sleeps at? You know, he just talked about the 1%. You think Jay-Z would rent the crib out that he sleeps in? 50 Cent would never. 50 Cent has. No, he's never rented out his crib that he slept in, that he lives in. 50 Cent has never.

Oh, he didn't live in that house in Connecticut? Never. Oh. Any of your favorite rappers? Lil Wayne? You think Lil Wayne would rent out the crib that he sleeps and have another man putting man milk in his bed why do you keep saying this because you stop saying this you don't know this to be true and i don't even know why you're doing he

rented the crib he's got more than one house no but that's where he lives i got more than one house but people don't sleep in my could you just talk about your cost you'll be in for the community i tried to but that's what it is that's he oh I don't have to be out by five, but Eddie Murphy comes at seven to man milk my bed. Listen, could you just keep your caution about the community? Stop being petty. Call me beige boy, fat boy. You are beige. If you have high blood pressure, you're in before 12.

Diabetes, in before 12. Now stop. People have diabetes. A lot of us have diabetes. Gout, in before 12 diabetes in before 12 stop people have diabetes a lot of us have diabetes gout in before 12 a lot of us don't have gout might be safe safe space yes stop and yes you're absolutely right that was cute you put a young dog you know you had a little young dog rug that was very cute but we do things for the community i'm not that guy that's going to charge somebody 500 to get him because i couldn't sleep with myself there you go bring it back it back in. There you go. So what we do is we charge for people like me when I grew up and I

couldn't afford certain things and we were looking for that discount. That's why we start our prices at $19.99 because we want families to come. We want families to enjoy. Family can't pay $500 and we get people from all over the country that come to

our car shows. And besides that, Russ? Russ? You're talking about all these things. I'm doing it with Paperout, which is the company that Young Dolph owns, you idiot. So, uh, the money is going to the family. Uh, duh, I'm doing it with

Paperout. I'm doing it with his company. You idiot. Don't do that. But that's the reason why Young Dolph, if you go to Young Dolph's page, Young Dolph's page actually posted it and actually posted the museum and the car show. Russ. So when we talk about those things, when I ask you, is it quality over quantity? Yeah, you have 200, 300 cars.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Most of them are trash. They're garbage. Now, if you go through mine, they're quality, car enthusiasts, collectibles. But I'm not here to talk about that because I'm not going back and forth with you. I'm not. I don't have to. This battle of the Beijing is crazy.

No, it's not. I'm not going back and forth with you because I understand you're not selling tickets, so you have to continue to go. Think about it. I haven't said anything. You started with the drink champs. You started. That just tells me your tickets are not doing well. Well, Nori and EFN asked him about it.

No, but he continues to do it on his Instagram, and nobody's asking him to do anything. He's doing it because he's trying to sell tickets. I didn't reply. It's him. You had a little reply this week. He's been going back and forth, and he's been going back and forth, and he needs to get the tickets there. Now, I just pray to God that there's not traffic like last year, and your neighbors can get to their house.

Could you imagine if you're a neighbor of Rick Ross, and there's, what he says, 6,000 people? That's cute. 6,000 people out there, and something happens. Maybe you are overweight, and you have a heart attack and that ambulance can't get to your house because he's doing a show at his house that he Airbnbs. That's lame.

I'm not going back and forth with him. I wish him the best of luck. I'm glad you got this off. I'm glad Ross got it off. But I would also tell you this. Everybody got to watch who does stuff for the community and who does stuff to make money.

Now, even when he has the thing where he teaches people about real estate and you charge $10,000. Yeah, we do the same thing. We go around the country and we charge $99. Why? Because I want my community to learn. And not only do we charge $99, we bring hard money lenders. We bring average lenders. We bring credit repair.

I'm just telling you the things that we do in the person, the character of a person. I can't charge you $500 to put your car on my lawn. Oh, God. I think y'all need to do a car show together after this. No. And I think men over 40 with Just For Men should get in free. That's what I think. Think so?

All right. I think Just For Men could be a sponsor for both of y'all. All right. Y'all have a lot more in common than y'all do apart. Y'all just having a little issue over our car show. I'm not going back and forth. I'm done. You asking a question.

Both of y'all do things for the community. Both of y'all employ a lot of black people. Both of y'all in the real estate. Both of y'all in the cars. You and Ross got a lot more in common. Both of y'all love Beijing on your beers. Both of y'all have a lot more in common than y'all do differences. So you need to cut this out.

Both of y'all. Okay? High blood pressure in before 12. Could you stop? I just had high cholesterol. My LDL just came down. You're in free before 12. Rough.

Man milk. You have man milk in free before 12. Yo, stop saying that, yo. Matter of fact. Stop doing that. Go to the milk emoji and leave a milk emoji in Ross's Instagram.

You got to stop doing that. Stop disrespecting Eddie Murphy and Rick Ross. It's not my fault Eddie Murphy slept in his bed. What's wrong with that? It's that man's bed. Eddie Murphy, would you let Eddie Murphy sleep in your bed? Oh, God. He rented it for a movie.

Would you rent your house that you sleep in? I would rent a property that I have to a movie set. I didn't ask you that. I have a bunch of properties. I actually have done that before. And me too. Would you rent where you and your daughter and your wife sleep to Eddie Murphy to put man milk all over down the road?

Would you do that? Would you? I don't like how you're making coming to America sound, bro. Okay, that's not what coming to America is about. Coming to the promised land. When we come back, man, front page news with Tezla and Figaro. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get into some front-page news. Good morning, Tess and Figaro. Good morning. Now, let's get right into the sports. The Nuggets beat the Lakers last night. 108-103. They lead the series 2-0. Now, when I went to sleep, the Lakers were up by like 10 or 11, I thought.

But when I woke up, it was all bad. It's going to be hard for the Lakers to get up out that hole. I got Denver winning it all, the whole NBA championship, but we'll see. All right, now, X49er sent a threat to a congresswoman, a congressman, I should say. Yes, a California congressman is accusing a former San Francisco 49ers fullback of threats to execute him. California U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell shared a message on social media from from former NFL player Bruce Miller. His social media account, which displayed the threatening content. It actually read almost time. Would you rather Guatemala or execution?

You traitor. The threat was sent as a direct message to swalwell from miller's social media account he shared a screenshot of the threat and asked people on this page you know who is this guy threatening to execute me and why does he have so many followers and some of his followers immediately pointed out that Miller was an ex NFL player they have allegedly turned the threat into the Capitol Police. Do you know who that guy is? Do you follow 49ers or what? Have you ever heard of him?

What's his name? Bruce Miller. He was a seventh round pick by the 49ers in 2011. I don't know. He was released in 2016 offseason after being charged with seven felonies after he allegedly assaulted a 70-year-old man. Yeah, I never heard of him. No, I never heard of him. I'm a Giants fan.

I don't really know much about the 49ers. Well. Now, let's go to L.A. Now, what's going on with these L.A. strippers? What's going on with the L.A. strippers now? Yeah, shout out to the lunch lady that called. My grandmother also was a lunch lady, so shout out to her that called about higher pay.

And it looks like strippers, in entertainment history, 15 months after attempting to unionize, dancers at the los angeles gentlemen's club are one step closer to becoming the first group of strippers to be recognized in a union one of those things they were talking about was paid now during a settlement hearing the union club attorneys the lawyers representing management of the star garden topless dive bar in north hollywood agreed to withdraw election challenges and recognize the union. They have 30 days to negotiate a new contract. Take a listen to some of the things that they

are asking for. And we'll talk about on the other side. And they have finally agreed to recognize the union and the many issues that the dancers say they have, like compensation, better security and protection from sexual harassment our society upholds actors playing strippers and sex workers on stage and showing giving them the prestige and the protections and the union contracts but we haven't stepped up for sex workers and strippers i mean it is a job you know what i'm saying it is a job that generates a lot of money and a lot of revenue they have a lot of employees all across the world. Yeah, but how do you unionize the strippers?

So do you make people throw a certain amount of money for them to get dollars? Don't strippers usually make their money off of people tipping them? You know what? Some clubs, regardless of how much, you know, like let's say one individual stripper gets dollars thrown at some clubs, all the strippers at night put all the money together and they just split it even. That's not fair. I've seen that happen before.

That's not fair. I don't know if it's fair. I don't think that's fair. But in order to be a part of the union, they would have to pay dues. And they've been basically admitted to a larger union that recognizes live entertainment. So characters, people like to dance at Disney or stages or theaters. So they're putting in and saying, hey, we perform as well. We provide entertainment and we deserve to have contracts negotiated on our behalf. And I just want to point out one thing. Only one in 10 American workers are now in a union, which is down nearly down quite a bit since the 1950s.

So this is a really, really big deal for strippers to be able to say we want to unionize. A lot of teachers haven't been able to get unions in their state, so this is really huge. But I do think that's good if they give the strippers and the dancers health coverage.

You know what I mean? Because some of those strippers and dancers have kids. So if they have health coverage, it'll trickle down to their kids so their kids can get shots and they don't have to come out of their pocket for those things.

And some of them girls need to go see the gynecologist. Being there with stuff dripping out of their vaginas, you know what I mean, a lot of discharges. What club are you going to? I'm just simply saying, some of them women need money to go to the gynecologist too. Because, I mean, think about it. If what you're going to look at is their private parts,

you got to make sure those private parts are checked. Make sure the BV is cleared up. That's it. I've never seen anything dripping. All right. Well, that is your front's it. I've never seen anything dripping. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. Thank you, Tez and Figaro. You have a great weekend.

No problem. Thank you. And make sure you subscribe to the Scray Shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. Tez will be on there breaking down all the stories you heard in Front Page News this week. That's right. Now, when we come back, the Tejada brothers from Power will be joining us. Woody McClain and Lavelle Adams-Gray. And we're going to kick it with them when we come back. So don't move.

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 host with us. Yes, indeed. Erica Dutchess. She's here. She's joining us. And we got some special guests in the building the tajadas i don't think you say the j

how you pronounce it is it i used to struggle with it too yes i don't know but we got the homie woody mclean here who's been here before and lavelle adams great welcome yes indeed absolutely okay kane and Drew from Power Book 2. Man, y'all, it's funny, right, because y'all got to be some of the most famous people in black culture at the moment. You don't think so? It's been love, man. Yeah.

It's been love. People come up to you, smack you in the airport. Like, it's crazy. It's crazy. What do you mean smack you? I know, and where? It was in the airport. A lady had a baby, white lady.

She was like, I love what you're doing. Oh, gosh, dude. I'm like, appreciate it. But it just caught me, you know what I mean, caught me off guard. But yeah, it's been love. Absolutely. was in the airport lady had a baby white lady she was like I love what you do but it just caught me you know I mean caught me off guard but yeah it's been love absolutely yeah I got that in there I think it's Mac but you stopped me he was like bro I know you right like you you've been in Houston I'm like listen I've never been used in my life so I know I never met you before yeah you know and like it was it was definitely from the show but you know it was it was

funny he's like based off the character you play where did he smack you just you know and like it was definitely from the show but you know it was funny based off the character you play where did he smack you just tell us it was on my arm okay just making sure

season three actually yeah yes it's been a nut season so the last two episodes are going to be crazy and I have not watched

even though they leaked appreciate that okay how can y'all top what y'all have done I think you know the writers have you know know, only gotten better.

Brett, you know, really cares about the show, the showrunner, and really takes care of us and is invested on making it new and exciting and truthful. And I think, you know, you keep it truthful and, you know, it tops itself, I think. And a whole lot of drama. You know, Twitter loves drama. So I think they've been doing a great job with it. And you've been in love the whole damn season. I know, man.

How'd that go from being a gangster? You're still a gangster, but you're in love now. On the show, being in love is kind of boring to me. Why is it boring? I'm like, man, I'm ready to catch a body. It's crazy. That's horrible, right? It's a horrible way to think, but that show has definitely altered my mind to think like that.

It's weird. It's like, man, another scene. I scene with ah my man when do i pop somebody well i was gonna ask how does that change your character because now you're into this scene right you want to pop somebody so now when you go out and somebody says something you think like are you still in character like what you say are you still like that or do you get out of character no i get out of character i get out of character but it depends if i'm with my family i'm still in it a little bit because you know people don't really respect boundaries nine eight and because we're on tv we're no longer human you know what i mean i just feel like everybody treats us like an item

so it's like i'm always like just thinking about those things and making sure my family is straight while i'm outside but it's always been love though and it has to be different right because because of the characters that you played you have like very different demographics like you have the young people that might follow this but then you have the older people that love you in this so how does that work nice for me i know like i've been to like the hood is other hoods and people like yo that's you me up there like i appreciate that i'm like oh thank you so i always say you should call the police on all of you somebody ever tell you that hey i relate to character Kane, that's me. Call the police.

Now we're on with some urgency. Yeah, yeah. The older demographics love you and the younger demographics love you. You mean the older demographics love him because of the new edition Bob Brown stuff? Yeah. Got you. Because, you know, you got aunties and grandmas that know him from the new edition. That's a different type of love.

But then you got homies from the corner that look at him differently. That's interesting. I thought, because I thought that there was a young demo that watched the bobby brown story new edition too i feel like that introduced them to a new audience no absolutely for sure i agree that's true i agree yeah because my kids loved it yeah they the kids call me bobby brown yeah you bobby i'm like bro i'm not and you get tired of that yeah a little bit i feel like kane trump bobby though no yes man right now in the culture oh no bro but i've seen him in Yeah, a little bit. I feel like Kane trumped Bobby, though. No. Yes, man.

Right now in the culture? I don't know, bro. When I first seen him in the hall, the first thing I thought was Bobby. I was like, that's what I thought. I don't know, man. But, I mean, no. I mean, I was just watching the fight, and it was this white guy. He was like, yo, Kane. And the Uzi song was playing.

He was like. But I'm like, that's's crazy that sounded like a little flirt right there I don't know it was weird but it's New York so nobody really tripped on it it was crazy everybody was just having fun I'm like losing Atlanta would have been a little different that would have been different

power one of them shows that the culture really gets involved in meaning that when it's on everybody tweeting about it it's like a family gathering and then people talking about what happened you know that night on social media afterwards people care about y'all personal lives like that's rare yeah everybody don't get that you know i think it's an important thing you know to separate the character from the from the from the actor you know like we watch like daniel day lewis we don't think like he's you know built a butcher and you know um

what's his name daniel daniel plainview you know we just look at him like that's a that's a really dope artist right i think like you playing bobby brown you playing kane like that's a testament to your artistry i appreciate that bro same to you man but you know you know you do a fantastic job you do a fantastic job playing Drew. And the crazy part is everybody's like, oh, is he really gay? And I'm like, does it matter? You know what I'm saying? Would it matter if Lavelle was?

What does it matter? I don't think it does matter. I think it's important to separate those things. It's important to separate the personal from the work. Because I have to be able to play everything as an artist. That's our job. It's to tell the story and tell it as truthfully as possible.

If I was playing your life story and you watched it and go, you're not telling the truth, I'm doing you a disservice. Yeah, but you're not gay enough if you were playing me. Other people would say, say, no, no. Give me a little more.

Give me a little more. I was going to ask you, when you seen the script, was there any doubts like, well, maybe I don't want to play that? Or it was like, no, I'm an actor. This is what I'm going to do regardless of what people think. That's what it was, man. I'm an actor. And I have to tell the truth. And if I'm not telling the truth as an artist, then get me out the show.

You know what I mean? Like, if I'm not going, if I'm not committing 100%, then I don't tell the truth. And if I'm not telling the truth as an artist, then get me out the show. You know what I mean? Like if I'm not going, if I'm not committing a hundred percent, then I don't deserve the part. And that's just how I see it. Like, you know what, regardless of whatever part it is,

whatever role it is, it's like, if you're putting in the work, investigating in yourself and trying to tell the truth and, you know, you deserve to be on that platform and tell that story. It's an interesting social experiment though. Whenever there's a lovemaking scene

between a man and a woman, nobody cares. But when you see it pop up on Power or one of those other shows, everybody's up in arms. Ah, man, I can't watch this, man. I'm not...

I'm gonna tell stars if they don't stop doing this, I'm not gonna watch. But I'm like... People will be like, why? Why do you... Nobody ever asked that when it's men and women,

you know? You know, I think, you know, if we're talking about the first power, Omari Harwick and Lila look really good together, though. You know, like, there's back muscles and everything like that. So I understand, like, you know, the aesthetic is what we're used to. And we're not used to seeing queer lovemaking especially on a mainstream show like this. But it's real life

and it happens. It's real life and it happens and I think my biggest thing was like I haven't gotten the back yet like Mario Hardware's back.

I haven't gotten that like physical strength because you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just turned 31 so I'm like I still got to like get my man meat on.

Pause. But I'm just like what the heck? Not like that. Not like that, not like that. You practicing Charlemagne's role right there. You doing good. That's the character he is. He's lit trying to audition.

I'm talking about. You need your man body. He called you man body. And so like, whenever I have those scenes, I'm like, I wanna make sure I look as good as possible. You know what I mean? And so, like, whenever I have those scenes, I'm like, I want to make sure I look as good as possible. You know what I mean? I want to look good.

And, you know, the same thing with Kane. Like, you want to make sure he looks good. Amari set the bar so high. He set the bar. I remember reading a tweet. Somebody was like, Kane looks like a college dropout kid that just played Call of Duty. And I was like, damn, I need to get in the gym. You need to get in the gym?

Oh, for sure. That's all I think. I hear that in my ears while I'm like, you know what I mean, when I'm like running out of energy. I just hear him saying like college dropout body. And I'm in the gym. I'm going crazy. All right, when we come back, we got more with the Tejada brothers from Power.

You know Woody McLean and Lavelle. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the Tejada brothers from Power. You know Woody McLean and Lavelle Adams Gray. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the Tejada Brothers from Power.

You know Woody McLean and Lavelle Adams Gray. Charlamagne? Does social media bother y'all? Like when y'all read comments, does it impact how y'all approach the roles and everything? For me personally, nah, because I come from social media and I just used to say s*** that didn't even really... Ammo tweets. You're right. But that's where I was at though.

That's the space I was in I just wanted to get a reaction That's what Twitter was for It's like to see how many retweets And how many likes you can get You know what I mean So now I look at it It's like

That's just somebody Just trying to get attention Yeah But it don't bother me though And you gotta be careful Yeah Absolutely I'll ask some more

What about you Lavelle Coming from theater I come from theater a little bit And We learned Really quickly Not to like You can't read everything every night, you know, because it affects your work. So I come from that, like, where it comes, like, you know, I'm not reading everything all the time. Like, I kind of just post or whatever and just go about my business. We had Amari up here last year, maybe two years ago, and I asked him, Charlemagne and I asked him about the character.

Was he ever fearful that he was going to be stuck in that character? And he was a little upset about it because he said he's an actor, but sometimes people see Omari as ghost. Sometimes they see you as Bobby. Do you ever fearful of what roles you take to be stuck in that character? No. God will provide. There it is. I agree. It's a scarcity mindset to think that way, I think. be stuck in that character no god will provide there it is i agree you know i mean yes yeah like

it's it's it's a scarcity mindset to think that way i think and but it happens to people like you look at steve urkel he's always steve urkel you look at the guy that plays i can't remember the brother's name he played uh chris rock and everybody hates chris he's always looked as that you know but he just won a Golden Globe. He was on that. But I still see him as that little boy. Isn't that a blessing, though? To play a role that's so iconic? Why, it is. I think it is.

You know, it stands the test of time. And, you know, we leave that legacy for sure. I think it does, you know. But actors want to be transcended, right? And be able to disappear in the roles. And I think a part of that is the onus on the actor to like switch it up a little bit try something different um and never let themselves get pinholed in the one thing but i think being scared of that brings it on too you know i mean do you ever feel a way you know because you are a theater actor actor so you've

been through the course you've been through the classes and then you see somebody that might be uh you know a social media person that gets a role because they're a social media does that ever make you feel a way like they didn't get their chops where they didn't do the the proper training that you've been through does that ever make you feel away if i'm being honest absolutely whenever i get whenever that comes up for me i get tight like that i'm like well that's just my ego like that's me you know that's me because i didn't get that part i didn't you know what i mean but like what's for you is meant to be for you right you know so i remind myself of that and and then you know it goes away but like and it's it's like acting is always going to change mediums and always going to evolve and that's the point if you don't evolve with it then you're going to

get left behind what about you woody i come from social media so i salute anybody that comes from social media you know i like it just totally sorry question was that the question no no I was saying does it ever make you feel away where it feels like people you know they always say people skip the line right so that they didn't you know take the acting classes and the acting lessons that's what i'm saying i come from the people that didn't take acting classes that you know i'm straight from social media like so i don't i don't take it no way no i just took it serious but you kind of skipped the line i did skip the line but then i took it very very serious yeah that's what i'm like because a lot of people um they just ride

the wave yeah they just ride away wave Like the comedians Like they Can't do the stage They can do the Social media stuff All day Right Post the But when it comes to that stage

It's totally different And they don't want to Get in their room You know go to the Open mics and stuff They don't want to do that They too good for that But you horrible

When it comes to the stage You got somebody personal in there now obviously i'm a stand-up comedian so i just see the the new wave and it is the new wave but with somebody like me who's been doing it for so long you start seeing stuff at first i was acting like samuel jackson at first you I'm saying how he was with the people taking the acting I was like hold on

now they ain't even but I had to sit back and get in your mode and be like hold on what God got for me is for me they passed

they my path you know what I'm saying so this is my journey so I gotta stay on my own journey to bless and understand why I'm in my position

and be patient and that's why I'm here today. Exactly. Now, Woody, is Kane and Tyreek going to end up killing each other over Effie, man? Oof.

That's going to mess up the business in some way, shape, or form. I don't even know if I can talk about that. I don't know, though. I can see it happening. Okay. I can see it happening. Okay, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good suggestion. Yeah. Yeah. I can't talk on that. He said, I don't want to get in trouble. Well, let me ask you, L, yeah. That's a good suggestion. Yeah. Yeah. I can't talk on that. He said, let me in. Let me in. I can't say nothing.

I don't want to get in trouble. Right. Well, let me ask you, Lavelle. Why is Drew not allowed to have love? It seems like you lose every guy that you start feeling. I think it's because it's the reality of the game we're in. Mm-hmm. Right?

And I feel like with Gordo, he found somebody that he felt like he could you know who could he could see all of him and recognize all of him at the same time it's like we started off with lies right like i killed his pops or we killed his pops so it's like i if i can't tell you that truth then we're already our foundation is shaky anyway you know so i think you know god willing going forward um uh drew will find some love somebody that you know can resonate with him in that way that he doesn't have to hide himself from but until then it's be a bunch of bread man right it is how's how's working with mary beautiful man mary's so cool she's so chill um we have so many moments and memories with mary and my i think my favorite one is you know first Table Read. You know what's funny? They don't tell actors this a lot.

It's always like, well, you just get in the space and like, yeah, I belong there and I've already been there so I gotta act like it. Whatever. You know,

back tension, shoulder tension comes up. You know what I mean? No. When I got into the Table Read, I was like, I've never been here before and I've never been face-to-face

with Mary J. Blige before. And you know what she did? She broke the ice with a funny ass story. You know, she brought us in as her kids off rip. And that to me,

like taught me like, God willing, I get to that place where I can, people look at me in that way that I can be like, oh no, I was chill.

Like, you know what I mean? Cause that really helped me out. How did she bring y'all in? What was the joke that brought y'all in? You said, cause she said she brought you

in as her kids. Well, she told us, like, it was a story. I told her that, like, my dad's from Jamaica, right? And she was like, oh, I'm never going to Jamaica again. Like, I'm never bringing nobody to Jamaica because, like, it's drama. And it's just the way that she just related to us. Yeah. You would think that, like, I guess the perspective of someone of that high stature is that, like, you have to go to them.

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. But I felt like she came down and gave us a story that was like we all had us laughing and it was like what thanks for sharing that you know with us and and really brought us in and so it just just made it so easy you know yeah you know we get to do these scenes and she's so generous as an art as a scene partner and we get to like really go and play with it she has so many fun ideas and just really cares about monet and says like listen man monet is is from here so she's not gonna do it like that she's gonna do it like this and like she'd be my producer yeah you know what i mean yeah yeah when we did the the dinner table that super iconic dinner table scene you know it was her idea to be

like listen like we gotta get it elevated right said, we have to elevate this thing because she's not going to have her daughter talk to her in no type of way and not snatch her across the table and have it be this big moment. That's real. And it came alive because of that. I learned so much as an actor because of that. So what's going to happen when y'all got to hate her? Because eventually y'all going to find out that she's the one who set Lorenzo up. I mean.

You know what I mean? Y'all going to hate her then, right? Comes out this weekend, we gonna see. Right, right, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's this week, Friday. Yeah.

We gonna find out all that stuff, but yeah. Are y'all happy Lorenzo days? Y'all gonna say papi no more? Didn't feel odd? I don't even think I ever said papi like that. I never knew how to say it,

for real, like, it didn't roll off my tongue like that, so I kind of eliminated the papis out of my vocabulary. You just said it now. Yeah. Did it roll off right? Yes, it did I kind of eliminated the poppies out of my vocabulary. You just said it now. Yeah.

Did it roll off right? Yes, it did. You said poppy. You said it real good. I think, you know, and shout out to Berto Colon, who plays Lorenzo. Amazing. I miss him sometimes, you know, because he's a master class, too, you know? And I love him being there. He just holds it down.

He's such a grounding energy. So as Lavelle, I'm like, damn, he's gone. But as Drew, I think Drew's also like, damn, he's gone. Yeah, I agree. All right, when we come back, we got more with the Tejada Brothers from Power. You know Woody McClain and Lavelle. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the Tejada Brothers from Power. Woody McLean and Lavelle Adams Gray. Now, we taped this yesterday. Erica Dutchess, our co-host, was here.

Erica. You married? I'm engaged. You're engaged. Okay. So how do your fiancé feel about your love scenes and stuff like that? You know, she's the same way. She comes from, you know, that place of, like, if you're going to do it, do it right kind of thing.

So she's a big fan of the show. She loves watching the show. She has a great heart and a great empathetic capacity. So she watches Drew or anybody going through it. She's like, wow, this is a... Every time I watch the show, I'm watching it being like, I know what we did. I know what's happening. And she's like, wow, this show surprises me every time.

It's phenomenal. This and this and this. Is it hard to watch it with her? For any love scene. It's hard to watch it with her because she's sometimes around during the table reads. And so she's privy to information. And she's like, oh, so that's what you guys were talking about. Oh, oh, I didn't, you know.

But in terms of content and stuff, it's not hard watching it. Because she's also done love scenes. How do you feel when you see her with doing love scenes it's it's some dude it's like it's i'm getting used to like omari back muscles he got that man meat on his back What? What? What are you saying? Yes, I'm just saying you're a good man. I like that. That's how comedy that guy is. Jesus. But yeah, how did that make you feel?

You know, she just did this film called Perfect Addiction that just came out. And in it, she plays an MMA fighter and trainer. And she had to be

with these 6'2", 6'3", you know, getting swollen bees for the role and coming in. And, you know, she was love interest

to both of them. And I'm having to sit there being like, you know, she was love interest to both of them. And I'm having to sit there being like, you know, this is fine. This is fine. This is fine. This is fine.

You know, but... When you walk past the mirror, you walk back with your chest out. Yeah, for real. Listen, every time she goes somewhere

to work on a job or she's like, there's a time apart, I'm in the gym. I go crazy in the gym because when you come back, you don't see me looking different than when you left.

That's right. You know, I wanted to ask you, LaV you about do you get flack from like uh actual gay actors who feel like that role should go to actual gay like you took my role that's a good question no yeah i get a lot of love a lot of like a lot of uh support uh comes from other queer actors you know and i get a lot of love. I would think that's a ridiculous conversation to have because if a gay person plays a straight person it's because they got the role because they're a good actor. If you're good at what you do, you're good at what you do.

Woody got everybody hitting my damn phone. I was kind of excited. I ain't gonna lie. Woody tagged me on something. People were hitting me. I think we just need to do it. The reason I got excited because I was like, oh, it might be some bread.

Woody was like. Explain the post. Woody said, he posted, I want to do a season finale, watch party in South Carolina, but I need C to God to host it with me. He said, who in South Carolina would pull up? It got like 2,600 comments. And then people started making actual posts about it. Like, this needs to happen.

And I'm like. So you guys are saying, what are we doing? I'm waiting. We got to find a place to do it. Because, you know, we used to the house party vibe last time me and woody party together we was in a house house party yeah and you can't do it in the house can't do it in the house but you can't know can't bring all those people to your house nah can't do that you gotta figure out where to do it i don't know and do we charge people yes that's the that's the hard part yeah you gotta charge people because if not you it's gotta be limited space if not everybody's gonna be there's gonna be two pack you want limited space you want people to be able to see yeah so you charge people because if not, it's got to be limited space. If not, everybody's going to be there.

It's going to be two-pack. You want limited space. You want people to be able to see. So you charge people but then have like an open bar? Yeah. Oh, have an open bar. Yeah. Food and food.

So they can have a good time and some food but that way you have sections so people can actually watch. You don't want a two-pack where you can't enjoy and scream and yell and all that other stuff.

Maybe we can do it at the museum. The International African American Museum. I like that. You'd have to bring some TVs in and cable if they got it. It's not until the 26th, right? The 26th, yeah. Yeah, May 26th. Oh, yeah. So we got a couple weeks the museum. I like that. The American Museum. I like that. You'd have to bring some TVs in and cable if they got it. It's not until the 26th, right? It's the 26th, yeah. Yeah, May 26th.

Oh, yes, we got a couple of weeks. It's Memorial Day weekend. We got time, though. We might can figure it out. I'd have fun there. Yeah, I'm saying you pay the museum. But the pay is not really for you. It's more to make sure people are going to come.

Because if everybody are RZP, I'm coming. And then it'd be raining. They'd be like, I ain't coming in the rain. You know what I mean? But you want people that's going to come enjoy and have a great time. But then, once again, that's a testament to how big power is in the culture. I'm telling you. Absolutely.

All shows don't get that cultural reverence the way Power got, man. They don't. They don't. They let us host stuff like rappers. I'm at a host, and I'm like, I ain't got no songs. I don't know what y'all want me to do, so I just take pictures. They would give me the mic. I'm like, I don't know what y'all want me to do so i just take pictures they would give me the mic i'm like i don't know what y'all want me to say like i ain't got no no bars or nothing for nobody does it bother y'all when the shows leak yes okay i was tight is that

the true leak because they said that it might not be the true shows well no i think i think it was like some like fake poor quality stuff i didn't see it but man like it's like you like a rapper like you always tight when your shit leaks. And who did it? It has to be somebody in your camp, right? And why is it only power shows on Starz?

That's the weirdest thing. I don't see that with nobody else. Or do people just care that much? Like, other things leak that we just don't think about, but people care about this. That's crazy. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know about it, but I appreciate the fans who stuck it out and are going to watch it again and see it, because it deserves to be seen you know in the right way when with this love triangle tyreek got going on right who would y'all rather see him end up with effie uh lauren or diane speaking as of i'd rather see him with diana really yeah speaking

as your sister yeah speaking as well speaking as woody as woody dying as well as really yeah yeah yeah drew don't want to be nowhere around absolutely like that kane don't want to either you know but as lavelle i'm like this they they make a good pair you know they're both very intelligent yeah and they both move around the business really well and they could actually like make a great like if they came together like that they can make a good good team but then the brothers might have to kill him yeah so now it's drama yeah i agree did you feel bad for sax when he got killed hell yeah shane is so dope man he's so incredible he's the og well i think he's been there for like nine years and i think it caught everybody by surprise because i don't read the whole script

until we get to the table i just read kind of section. So when I heard it for the first time, it definitely was like one of those emotional, emotional things. Damn, I don't even think about that. I'm sitting here thinking about it from the character perspective. These are people that's not going to have no work no more. Well, no, see, that's the thing. Like Shane is such an amazing actor that he's working. He's working. He's an artist.

Like he's an artist with him, with ambition and with with drive, you know. And I said one thing like I always say about about actors, about artists specifically with drive, you know? And that's one thing I always say about actors, about artists specifically. We can make whatever we want to make whenever we want to make it. Now, depending on how much money you have and if you want to get butts in seats, that's another thing. But art is there. You can just make it, you know? And for Shane, he doesn't have to worry about lack. But he'll always be a thriving artist because he's a beautiful actor.

Y'all ever nervous that you're going to read a script and it's like, one of those things where you're like, please don't kill me, y'all. Please don't kill me, y'all. Y'all ever feel that way when y'all pick up a script? That was me season one, two, three, four. Because they're going to be like, yo, man, you're buying his house right now. You're buying his house. You're going to be like, please don't kill me, y'all.

Please don't kill me, y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think for the same, like the first season it was like that. But after the first season, whatever makes sense for the character, if the character got to go, he got to go. That's how I felt. Yeah. I just hope when they, you know, when they do decide to,

if they do decide to do that with Drew, that, like, it's, like, iconic. Like, I want it. You want Cain to kill you. Man, I don't know about that kill you that's heartbreaking but I got you I always want to be like I said I want to be the black Sean Bean and like dynamite so if it's gonna happen like it needs to be happen like you know some like dope slow-motion kind of like you know something dope something but I won't speak that out you know six seven eight and is there a real beef between

the power team and the BMF actors like is that real or is that just some social media between I don't think so it might be that might be

Twitter fingers yeah yeah I hope so cause like we you know we're all black and we're all getting it and I love that I love to see that

so I think that's what it is y'all don't participate in that though see you usually a dude that play Tariq and Meech what did Mike do he might

nah nah I don't participate I'll be doing it I'll be in the gym See, you usually do that play Tariq and Meech. What did Mike do? He might do a lot. Nah, nah, I don't participate. I'm joking. I'll be doing it. I'll be in the gym. I ain't got time for that. Woody said, I'm out of my business. Woody said, back to this party he's planning in South Carolina.

At the museum. We can do it. Take my water, minding my biz. You want to do it for real? Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Don't just, don't say that, Woody, because now we got a planet. I don't want to let people down. Nah, I'm serious.

I'm serious. I know this is Hollywood. You're like, yeah, hit me up. Let's do this. But I'm like a planet. I don't want to let people down. No, I'm serious. I'm serious. I know this is Hollywood. You're like, yeah, hit me up. Let's do this. But I'm like serious. I'm looking at you in the eyes. We're going to do this. Oh, Lord.

Now I got to commit, too. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So we taking it there. We appreciate you brothers for joining us. Thank you for having us. May 26th. May 26th is the date. And thank you guys for stopping through.

You know these guys are always invited. Are both episodes coming out the weekend of May 26th? Or is one and then the next one? One's this weekend. One's this weekend. Oh, one's this weekend and the finale next week. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. All right, so that's Woody McCain, Lavelle Adams-Gray.

Appreciate you, brothers. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Appreciate it. Thanks for having us. Welcome everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor, 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?

Yes. On The Breakfast Club. Now, our very own Charlamagne Tha God, you know he has his late night show, Hell of a Week. Well, it seems like it was launched September 2021 and now it's saying that the show has been canceled. Really? Yeah, that the show has been canceled. Really? Yeah, that's what they're saying. They're saying that Stephen Colbert's executive produce Tuning Out the News in Hell of a Week with Charlamagne

has been canceled at Comedy Central. Listen, man, I'm never sad that it's over. I'm more grateful that it happened, okay? I have a goal for TV and because of this show, I'm closer to my goal, so I'm forever grateful. Food to my guy, Chris McCarthy and Paramount they always take care of us. The only thing that ever disappoints me about stuff like this

is all the jobs a show like this provides. Especially the black and brown people because that was the majority of our staff so that's the only thing I'm ever disappointed about when stuff like this happens. Other than that onward. And you can still scream it on Paramount Plus. The first two seasons The God's Honest Truth

and Hell of a Week. I was going to ask, but even if it wasn't canceled, how was the show going to continue? Because with the writer's strike, would it be able to come back? That's one of the reasons. The business is in flux right now.

Gotcha. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of things going on in Hollywood. There's a million shows being canceled across various platforms. And you were supposed to host a daily show coming up, but because of the

Writers' Crack. Because of the Writers' Crack. Can't do the daily show either. Damn it, man. But when the Writers' Crack is over, though, I'll definitely be hosting the daily show. Alright. For a week. For a week. Guest hosting the daily show. Alright. Well, we gotta congratulate Ludacris. Ludacris received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star yesterday.

Very well deserved. Very well deserved.erved. Very well-deserved. I mean, from number one records to platinum albums to movies. So it's very, very, very well-deserved. He was there with Queen Latifah, Tyrese, Vin Diesel, LL Cool J, and of course his wife. Please say he didn't let Tyrese speak. I didn't see Tyrese speak. Okay, thank God. I think I seen LL speak.

I seen Vin Diesel. I'm sure Tyrese spoke. That's his man. If Tyrese would have spoke, we would have known. It would have been a rumor report. You're right. He'd have made it about him in some way, shape, or form. You're right.

And lastly, people are mad at Jeannie Mai. Now, you know, of course, her and Jeezy have been married about two years now. So she said that her daughter was bilingual. And this is what she said. And I think the best thing is learning how to really teach her how to own who she is you know there's a beautiful blend of being black and vietnamese and i want her to really understand what that means as a powerful woman today yes yeah are you guys teaching about your cultures yes big time yeah um we try to have her spend time with her southern grandparents in

atlanta all the time in georgia and then she goes down to the bay and she spends time with my vietnamese grandparents all the time so she understands both sides and i only speak vietnamese to her and then um dad only speaks um the south to her so i don't know what's going to come out. We'll see. Yeah, so people were upset at that. People just don't like Ginny Ma. Ginny Ma. Ginny Ma. And I want everybody to just come to the term,

come to grips with the fact. Y'all just don't like Ginny Ma. They don't like Ginny Ma. They don't like the fact that Ginny Ma and G's here together. Correct. They don't like, they're getting their Dr. Uma on

and they don't like that interracial relationship. Well, I don't think it's that. Because that wasn't that upset and egregious for people to be mad about well I think it's

do you have the clip where she said it a while ago see what I'm saying but that's why they're mad that was the reason why they're mad because I didn't every sister I know

bought up this clip right here in regards to why they don't like Jeannie Ma you have the clip oh you don't have the clip okay but you know it's the clip about

I'm not even going to repeat it no I wasn't going to repeat it either but yeah people are mad about that they're saying it's not speaking know it's the clip about you know i'm not even going to repeat now i wasn't gonna repeat either yes but um yeah people are mad about that they're saying you know it's not speaking south it's speaking english so people were very upset about that it was like i'm from the south you know what i mean there's certain people you can hear and you'd be like what part of the south you from that's not insulting like you go part of the south you from well i'm from atlanta what part of the south you from i'm from charlotte south carolina because those are very distinct uh you know ways of speaking. The Geechee Gullah

in South Carolina when Erica Dutchess was up here the last two days. You hear somebody like DC Young Fly, you know when you're talking to somebody from Atlanta. You know when you're talking to somebody from the South. But you don't speak the South. And she was joking, by the way, guys. When did you ever say you speak English? She was joking. But you say it's a South

accent or you say a Baltimore accent or you say a New York accent. But she was joking. She was joking. At the end of it a South accent, or you say a Baltimore accent, or you say a New York accent. But she was joking. She was joking. She did say it. And she clearly was joking. At the end of it, she said, I'm joking, guys. She clearly was joking. She was joking.

Yes. But they don't like Jeannie Ma. That's the truth. They don't like Jeezy and Jeannie Ma together. That's the truth. That's the truth. That's just the reality of the situation. Absolutely.

Sisters, you got to come to terms with yourself. You got to come to grips with yourself and just admit you don't like seeing Jeezy and Jeannie Ma together. Jeannie Ma, man. What I keep saying. and Genie Ma together. Genie Ma, man. What I keep saying. Genie Ma. Oh. Genie Ma.

Yes. You don't like that combination of soul food and Chinese food. That's what you're saying. Vietnamese food. Yeah. That's what you're saying. Soul food and Vietnamese food. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Now, donkey of the day. Who are you giving that donkey to? Man, we need Marjorie Taylor Greene to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her this morning.

All right. All right. We'll get to that next. And don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

It's tough to find that right person, especially when it comes to hiring for an open role. But ZipRecruiter's matching technology makes it easy to find and invite great candidates to apply to your jobs. Try it for free at ZipRecruiter.com slash breakfast this is a miracle there is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community yes you are a donkey to the latest on that police killing of a black man now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

My wife is white. Such a breakfast club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Friday, May 19th goes to the bigoted Barbie known as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy on this one, people. This human jar of Hellman's Marjorie Taylor Greene is out of her white devil damn mind. Marjorie says things like, you know, the forest fires in California were started by laser beams from space that are controlled by Jewish people. She says things like Bill and Hillary Clinton had John F. Kennedy Jr. killed because he was a political rival.

She says things like President Obama is a secret Muslim. And she says things like a plane probably didn't crash into the Pentagon on 9-11. She's actually a person who should probably have a YouTube channel more than she should have a seat in Congress. But yesterday she spoke on a confrontation she had outside the Capitol with a brother I like a lot, Congressman Jamal Bowman. Drop one clues, Congressman Jamal Bowman. The confrontation started because the House Republicans deflected a Democratic motion to expel the federally indicted New York representative George Santos. And as Santos spoke to reporters, Jamal Bowman does what he always does, you know, and that started some good trouble, you know, some good disruption because he called out uh that george santos should resign and marjorie taylor green didn't like that let's listen like i said if i could if i could understand you over my colleagues

screaming here the reality is better you gotta go man come on how's your ethics how's your ethics New Yorkers need better. You got to go, man. Come on. How's your ethics play going? Aren't you in ethics, T-Way? Come on. Look, I can't continue to address you guys because there's a deranged member here. Well, even though, do we have Marjorie approaching Jamal Bowman? Do we have that one? Let's hear that. 2-1-9.

No more Madness. No more CNN. No more debt-stealing nonsense. Come on now, save the party. Save America. Save the children. Save the country. Do something about guns. Right, so close the border. Come on, invest in this. Close the border, save the children. The border is what Trump left them. What are you talking about? Hey, where are the kids? Where are the migrant children? What kids? You guys love them. We're accepting them. We love them. We love the migrant children. We've the children.

You can't find them. You can't find them. You can't find them. It just sounds like a difference of opinion, two people outside, right? Going back and forth. Well, even though Marjorie Taylor Greene clearly approached Jamal Bowman and you heard the conversation, she did what all Karens do and decided to play victim. Let's listen to what she had to say. Bowman shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a horrible, calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense to. That is like calling a person of color the N word, which should never happen. Calling me a white supremacist is equal to

that, and that is wrong. Jamal Bowman was down there cursing at me, telling me to get the F out of there. And he was leading the mob right outside the vehicle I was sitting in. We have this all on video. And then on the Capitol steps yesterday, he was the one that approached me. Even CNN reported that. Yelling, shouting, raising his voice. He has aggressive, his physical mannerisms are aggressive. I think there's a lot of concern about Jamal Bowman. And I am concerned about, I feel threatened by him. God, I didn't see none of that in the video.

But when you look in the book of Karen, chapter one verse two it says thou shall play victim and weaponize thy whiteness against black men okay now what did congressman bowman have to say about it majority teller green at her press conference this morning said something incredibly dangerous and incredibly reckless about me talking about my demeanor as being aggressive and saying that she feels intimidated by me. Unfortunately, this country has a history of characterizing black

men who are outspoken, who stand their ground and who push back as being threatening or intimidating. So she's not even using a dog whistle, she's using a bull horn to put a target on my back to the people that she refers to as MAGA people out there who might wanna cause harm. This is the same reason why Mike Brown was killed.

This is one of the reasons why Emmett Till was killed. And throughout history, black men have continued to be characterized as aggressive because one, because of our skin color, but two, because we happen to be outspoken and passionate about certain issues. What Marjorie Taylor Greene did is textbook and has gotten a lot of black men killed and a lot of black men falsely in prison. And I don't know how y'all ever walked around saying believe all women when women like her exist on this planet. Now, the reason Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting donkey today is for this statement right here. Play this one clip

real quick, right? Calling me a white supremacist, which take great offense to that is like calling a person of color the n-word which should never happen calling me a white supremacist is equal to that and that is wrong fun fact uh that i think most sane people with common sense know calling someone a white supremacist is not the same as calling someone the n-word okay comparing white supremacy to the n-word is nuts because white supremacy is a term that was given because of white people's actions feeling superior to other races and cultures the n-word is the exact opposite of that it's to depower our people because of our skin color okay white supremacy is power the n-word has no power one is a description and one is clearly

an insult if you wanted to compare the two you wouldn't say white supremacy you would probably use other colorful words like honky whitey peckerwood mayonnaise blue-eyed white devil are my favorite and it comes from the black philosopher chris rock when he said this those are close but not equivalent because of all the blood on the n-word uh just to be and just to be all the way textbook with it. A white supremacist is a person who believes that white people are a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups. Marjorie, based on your stances in regards to Muslims and LGBTQ and Jewish people, I think that title is actually fitting for you. The N-word is a racial slur used against black people. And a lot of people use it as a term for ignorant.

I'm going to be honest with you, Marjorie Taylor Greene. You actually are a white supremacist nigger. OK, see the N-word. Listen, the N-word has historically been about color. White people use it against black people all the time. But it's actually more so about behavior. Like we refer to ignorant people of all races as the n-word and marjorie taylor green you are one of the most

niggardly acting white women i've ever met in my life never met you but ever seen in my life okay i don't think anyone should ever call you a white supremacist without without adding the n-word to it marjorie taylor green is a white supremacist nigga okay in fact the only way your false equivalency makes sense is if you say white supremacy is ignorance which it is and if you are saying white supremacy uh is ignorance and that's why it's the same as the n-word i get it if that's how you want it to be other than that you're just out here spewing cracker ass caca please let chelsea handler give that white supremacist nigga, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the biggest hee-haw. Jesus.

Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Where my girl Kathy Griffin at? I know she got something to say. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. Let Chris Rock spin the block one time.

Cracker-ass cracker. Where my girl at? What we got on the menu today? Crackers. Crack time. Cracker ass cracker. Where my girl at? What we got on the menu today? Crackers. Mm-mm-mm. All right. On BET. Shout out to BET.

I wonder how many times they're going to hit a bleep. On BET. Dump that. All right. This in practices is going crazy right now. They are losing their minds. They definitely are. But we appreciate you, BET.

Cracker ass cracker. They're going. They're losing their minds. They definitely are. But we appreciate you, BET. Cracker ass cracker. They're going. They're losing their minds. You can't say coming to America in Eddie's bed or whatever, Rick's bed. Can't say that. You can't say that. But BET, we'll see you guys on Monday.

All right, peace. Have a great weekend. Everybody else, when we come back, Rob Parker will be joining us. Rob Parker, he's a sports analyst, sports writer. He's from Queens, New York. He does so much for the community. And we're going to talk to him when we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We've got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Brother Rob Parker, welcome. Yo, what's up?

Queens on. Jamaica, Queens. Jamaica, Queens on. London, America. Yes, indeed. Brother Rob Parker, welcome. Yo, what's up? What's up, my brother? Jamaica, Queens. Jamaica, Queens. London, America. London, America. Okay. You know, Rob is so, I told her I saw Rob in the street the other day, man. I was excited to see him because, you know, first take, that's a part of your morning ritual.

Right, right, right. You know, so when I saw him, I was like, oh, shoot. And I was like, man, hey, man, just to let you know, we use the term cornball brother all the time. I know you get that a lot. It's unbelievable that it became a thing. Somebody even told me, like, in the Urban Dictionary, I get credit for that. And I'm like, cornball was just, to me, that was like no big deal. There are other words I could have used I didn't want to use.

I thought that was a softening kind of word to use. And I couldn't believe how big it got. Cornball. Now, you created, you launched a Major League Baseball Bro Podcast. Website and everything. Now, how do we make baseball fun again? Baseball has made changes this season. What changes have they made?

Okay, so they have the pitch clock. Okay, so now you have to throw pitches within 10 seconds. You get in the box. Guys can't sit around and rearrange themselves. You've got to get in. And either if you don't, they call a strike on the batter. And if it's a pitcher and you don't get on the mound and throw within the time allotted, then you get a ball from your end.

So the game has changed this year. The bases are bigger. There are more stolen bases getting back to you. The bases are bigger. They made the bases bases getting back to. The bases are bigger. They made the bases bigger. Now it's almost the size of a pizza box. Why did they do that? Okay, so now it gives you a little more edge to be able to steal bases, right?

Because the bases, I could get to the base sooner. And they also wanted to make the bases bigger to be able to eliminate being stepped on and injuries that have happened. The pitch clock has cut 30 minutes off the game. Really? If you go to a game now, games in the major leagues are now 235, 240. Opposed to four hours, three and a half hours, 350. Yeah, like you, three and a half hours. So baseball has made a lot of those changes, and it's been good for the game. And then, so let me tell you, MLB Bro was an idea I had going back.

We started and launched in 2021. And basically what we do is we cover black and brown major leaguers. And we cover top to bottom. There's about 80, 85 black players. And we're on top of them. And Major League Baseball this past year partnered with us and decided that they like what we've

been doing and this is something that they wanted to have a partnership with. And this has been really good and there's all kinds of other elements to it. I have a staff of over 60 mostly young black and brown reporters and content producers. It is incredible. This podcast must be doing amazing. It is incredible. This podcast must be doing amazing. It is. It's doing great. It's a website and podcast.

And they do all the teams, though, right? Yeah, we do all the teams. We've got players, reporters, and content producers all over. We're on social media. I have a staff of like 15 or 20. So this goes back to 2020. We went to the baseball star game in Washington, D.C. Me, J.R. Gamble, who's the managing editor of the site, and Mark Gray were all three brothers,

and we were all at the Baseball All-Star Game. And it was just a dream of ours. We talked about it, and we actually made this thing happen. But to have the backing of Major League Baseball, Major League Baseball is an $11 billion industry. MLB didn't have to join in with us and say that you know we cool with this but they saw the value in it and it's organic and it's real it's not like a bunch of white guys sitting around a table say what can we come up with to attract black people to the game i was gonna ask you that are you seeing more black

players or less black players or do you see more black fans because i don't see as many black players as i did as when i was a kid uh they're coming and we follow the minor leagues and the players who are there and they are coming so life after espn has been great it really has i mean you know during the time whenever things happen in life and i've worked at 35 different places in my career so after espn you know know, I worked in Detroit and continued to work in Detroit. And then since I've gone on the Fox, Chris Boussard and I

have a radio show the odd couple, which is, yeah, which is just a fun show. And we've done a lot on that over the last six years.

So it's cool. When I think back on that situation, I'm like, there had to be something else. It couldn't have just been the Cornball Brother

comments to RG3. There's no way that caused them to say rob you're no longer with espn it had to be something else going on behind the scenes i i worked there for eight years never called to the principal's office zero i'm not i'm not lying to you zero the bad part was it was the perfect storm that hurt me a at that time he was the most one of the most popular players in the nfo just one like rookie of the year he was a star player number two this happened in december of that year contract was up at the end of the year it's easy to just say like we're not going to

resign you after do you see what i'm saying like it wasn't like they had three years invested in me and i'm what we're going to do and if really wanted to push it i i could have i could have made a big enough stink because there were emails sent all kinds of i got texts from my boss after that segment no lie rob you remain one of the most undervalued talent at espn producers were told to take that clip to put on the emmy reel here's the other one you remember first take was two hours right till noon then they had the best of first take, which they played for an hour. They would clip out the three best segments of the show and put it on for the afternoon show. If I had really violated what they were saying that I did and I was out of bounds, do you know that segment was clipped out of the original airing and put into the best of show?

How is that put into the best of show how is that put into the best of show if i violated espn and because they didn't even look at it that way it was actually just push back social media and all that so for people that don't know allegedly they were upset that you called him a cornball brother right that wasn't allegedly they were right so the fit now now what is wrong with saying somebody's a cornball? I don't even think the people knew why they were upset. I agree with you. I don't think that that's... Because in high school, you would call somebody, oh, he a cornball.

Worst things have been said on ESPN. But it's not racial. There's nothing to it. There's nothing to it. It's like somebody saying somebody's soft or somebody's a sucker. I don't understand. Everybody watching that at the time knew what he meant. Right.

You know what I'm saying? And you know what? What did I say? I said, the guys in the barbershop. I even't understand. Everybody watching that at the time knew what he meant. Right. You know what I'm saying? And you know what? What did I say? I said, the guys in the barbershop. I even said that. Like, that's the conversation had in a barbershop. Yeah. Because we know what kind of conversations they are.

But, hey, you don't regret it. No, I mean, things happen in life, man. I've been doing this for 37 years. Are you kidding? 37 years to be relevant all this time and to continue to grow. And, you know, between Fox Sports Radio and MLB Bro. And I work for MLB Network. And, you know, I teach at USC.

I teach sports journalism. I love that. Yeah. So I'm doing all the stuff that I love to do. All right. We got more with Rob Parker when we come back. You know him as a sports analyst, sports writer, and more. So don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Rob Parker. You know him as a sports analyst, a sports writer, sports coach, too. Can the Lakers beat the Nuggets?

Sure they can. I don't think they will. How's that? I just think the Joker, I think people have, you know, they were calling the nuggets the chicken nuggets all season. Nobody want to believe in them. They've been impressive during the postseason. So you don't think AD has nothing for the Joker? Well, he had 40 points and the Lakers still got an L in game one, right?

I mean, if you're a Laker fan and AD scored 40, do you think you won that game? Absolutely. Absolutely. That to me, and the Joker didn't score any points in the fourth quarter of game one. What does that say? Yeah. Now, let's talk heat in Celtics. I don't think anybody thought the heat was definitely going to win the first game.

Well, you know what? The Celtics have had to struggle the whole way. Remember, they lost game one to Philadelphia. Right. They didn't even have Embiid in that game. So, I don't know. There's something about the Celtics. They've lost home games to teams that you would think that they should win.

It doesn't mean Miami won game one. It doesn't mean that the Celtics can't win the next four or whatever. What about John Morant? How should the NBA handle that situation? People are saying he should be suspended for a whole season. What do you think? At least half a year because this is the second thing. That's the second offense.

And two months after, I just don't even – there's something deeper there. After you've been through that and people are telling you, hey, you could lose your Nike deal and you could lose all these sponsors and all kinds of other things that are going on, and yet you still come out and do it. And then people – here's the other thing that i think is people are saying well he he didn't break any laws the gun that you don't know if it was registered you know and all these other things right when you sign up for a professional league

you don't just represent yourself that's right represent the organization you represent the league that's why they're a code of conduct. You know, these contracts, right? Moral clauses. And I think with Josh, we say two incidents, but it's been more than two incidents. Yes. Two incidents of him waving a gun. But it's been other incidents that all involve guns in some way. Supposedly beat up a 17-year-old kid in his backyard, and they brandished a gun in that situation. The laser pointing.

Right, with the Indiana Pacers. Like, there's too many things going on here where you can just turn your head and act like nothing's happened. Something's happened. Now, you know, people were saying that did Embiid deserve the MVP over the Joker? What's your thoughts? It was close. The numbers are real close. Embiid, I know, politic.

Like, he felt like he didn't get it last year. But now watching the Joker, there's people who like oh maybe he might have been and and the one thing i had as a pushback to people who didn't want to vote for him i get voter fatigue he wanted two years but there are a lot of voters i think they wanted him to win it three years in a row because jordan never did it lebron never won you know what i mean but but it's got to be it should be in a vacuum not when you're looking out for historical standpoints actually it's got to just be based on the number and his numbers were very close to mb i'm not i don't have a issue because i respect people's votes if they really believed it was mb it's not like the joker for sure was miles ahead right and got

jerked i don't feel like that why do you believe LeBron is better off losing in the Western Conference Finals than the NBA Finals? First of all, I call LeBron the Fafote, the Finals failure of all time because he's lost more Finals than any other former MVP. I just don't think that if you're still trying to make a case for LeBron against Michael being the GOAT, another loss in the Finals doesn't help his argument. He'll be 4-7.

It'd be better off if he lost now in this than to go to the finals and lose again. Then people, if you're trying to make that argument, go, he lost seven times. Mike won six, never lost, and won all six MVPs. Which one do you want? Yeah, I never understood when we started giving people participation trophies. Nobody ever said the Buffalo Bills is one of the greatest NFL teams. That never happened. Thank you.

That's my argument all the time when I talk about it. Marv Levy was the coach of that Buffalo Bills team. Went to Fort. Have you ever heard anybody say Marv Levy is the greatest coach in NFL history? No. No, because it's about winning. It is about winning. And if we're talking about the greatest of all time, we should nitpick.

Look through somebody's resume. Who'd you beat? What was the circumstance? What was the situation? And it doesn't mean that because I don't think LeBron's not the GOAT, I think he's a bum. He's a great player. I think he's the second best player of all time. But I don't think he's the GOAT.

I got him fourth. Fourth. I got Michael. And people don't agree with this, but I got Steph Curry. You got Steph Curry. I got Steph 2, Kobe 3, then Braun, then Magic. Wow. I can't get with the Steph Curry.

Why? Because I don't know if he has those other two championships without Durant. Remember, they just have. But you could say Braun don't have those championships without Kyrie. You could say he don't have it without Wade. I got that. You could say he don't have it without AD. So you could say the same thing.

The only difference is, Steph Curry is the author of the biggest choke in the history of the NBA when they lost a 3-1 lead. It had never happened in the history of the NBA. When Draymond got suspended. That was Game 5. But they still lost Game 6, Game 7.

And remember, in that finals that year, they set the record for the most wins in a regular season. Yeah. Okay? They didn't lose more than two games in a row all year, and then they lost the last three games and lose the finals. That's a big negative for this greatest. And here's the other part.

But he's still 3-1 in NBA finals against LeBron, and he won a ring without KD. He won two rings without KD. I get it. KD has done nothing since he's left Steph Curry. But if you take those two away, I don't think you're putting that conversation. I think KD, and if you remember, KD, they were 8-1 against LeBron, and KD was the best player on that team.

Is Steph the greatest shooter of all time to you? Absolutely. I think he's the best shooter. I don't know. It's hard for me to say that Steph is because and I'm just going to give you a circumstance. How can you say he's the greatest shooter when nobody will take him

to make a basket to win the game at the end? I think that that's why I'm not on board with the greatest shooter of all time. Damn. That's saying a lot. But I mean, when I look at people who... Is that fair? Do you see what I'm saying? I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. Like, to be the greatest shooter of all time. Damn, that's saying a lot. But I mean, when I look at people who... Is that fair? Do you see what I'm saying? I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

Like, to be the greatest shooter, that's got to be included. You didn't make no big shots. But then, yeah, I see what you're saying. Because by that logic, Robert Ory's the greatest shooter of all time. He ain't the greatest shooter. But by that logic...

You would say Robert Ory's one of the greatest clutch shooters of all time. So you're saying Steph's just not a great clutch shooter. I'm just saying because of the clutch doesn't go there. If you want to say somebody's the greatest shooter, it just doesn't make any sense to me

if I ask you a player and I give you three choices to make a shot at the end of the game to win and you don't pick Steph. Steph should be picked every time.

Like Charlamagne said, if you put Robert Ory in there and then you talk about clutch shooting and how many times you make it, and then you put those four in there,

you might go to Big Shot Bob because you know big shot Bob is. He's clutch. He's clutch. No, I get it, but I say. That doesn't make him the best shooter. No, but it's got to be the whole package. What do you have, Steph? Right.

Is he top five to you? No. Top ten? Probably top ten. Who's your top five to? I would say, obviously, Michael, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, and then five. I never really thought about my list. So Kobe wouldn't be in your top five?

No, Kobe's not in the top five either. Why? You know why? He's the closest thing to Jordan. Yeah, but the only problem is, even on his team when he was with Shaq, Shaq was the most dominant player in the league, not Kobe. So it's hard for me to... But then when Shaq leaves, he wins two.

Yeah, but he didn't win two immediately. He had to go get Pau Gasol. It takes time. He had to rebuild the team. Remember when he was with Smush Parker? I don't think he was winning back then, was he? Okay, so Kobe's not in it. So who's the five?

Who's in between? I hate to X out the old players. You know what I mean? I think they get the short end of the stick. I mean, obviously, Bill Russell won 11 championships. So it's hard for me to totally leave him out. I'll take Bill Russell. Bill Russell.

Is it true you don't think Tom Brady should be allowed in the Hall of Fame? Tom Brady is the load, first of all. What's the load? The luckiest of all time. God damn, Rob.

Jesus. What? How? I could give you four of those Super Bowls that he shouldn't have. First of all, the tuck rule.

Remember that? He coughed up the ball and they gave it back to him. Rob, he went to nine Super Bowls. That's unheard of. Did the Patriots cheat? I don't know. No, yes you do. Just to get the nine. He went with Tampa. But I'm just asking. Literally,

after leaving New England, he takes Tampa to the Super Bowl his first year. When they won the Super Bowl, I'll give you that. And that's why I call him lucky, but also the New England Patriots have cheated and I just have a hard time with if Tom Brady was suspended by the league for cheating with the

Flake game, but if we're going to say Bonds and Clemens and all these people don't belong in the Hall of Fame because they cheated or whatever, then Tom Brady was a part of an organization and a team that cheated. Why are we making it like that doesn't matter? I wish my Cowboys would cheat.

Right. Don't you want them to win? Yes. Well, Rob, we appreciate you joining us. Give them the information on your podcast, MLB Bro. MLB Bro. Thank you, bro. Because you need to know, man.

Because you need to know. It's Rob Parker. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Nyla Simone

It might be a classic, you never know. But it's something that she's rocking. And Nyla, what's up? Good morning. Good morning good morning guys how are you what's up now that hat is very fresh you made that yourself no I didn't make this one okay okay yeah but it matched my strength of a woman shirt you know I was out there in Atlanta there you go hey thank you it was fun but alright so to get to the music I'm gonna start off with Lil Durk and J. Cole with All My Life. Oh, love it. That record is phenomenal.

I text Bootleg Kev the first time I heard this record. I said, Kev, you spoke too soon about Durk not having a hit record. No, that's a hit record. That's a hit. That's going to be the summer anthem. It should be. To be honest with you, I don't know what determines a hit record no more, though, because it sounds like a hit record.

It sounds like a big record. You know what I mean? It sounds like a huge record. it puts me in the vein of like jay-z hard knock life and not even just because of the kids singing on the hook but the content yeah of the record big yeah well question was her not life like in the clubs yes yeah it was you think all my life is gonna be in the club clubs? No. When I think of summer, I'm thinking... I think you'd be able to play that record in the club. It wasn't in the club.

Yes, it was. It was a little bit. It wasn't like a big club smash. Jay had other records like Money Cash Holes from that album. That was in the clubs. But I think you will be able to play that in a club. A snippet of it. In and out.

Yeah, yeah. Sing it and then get out. Because even with Jay-Z, you would play something for my nigga Biggie. Then you were going to a Biggie record. And then you're going to another Jay record. No, I used to see people going to a Biggie record. And then Jay started doing that. Well, I don't know who did it first,

but Jay would do that on stage too. Either way, great record. And I'm honestly not really a huge little Dirk fan. You're not a huge Dirk fan? Nah, I don't know. I like Dirk. The Chicago way. Dirk is busy. Yeah, Dirk fan? Nah. I don't know. I like Dirk. The Chicago way. Dirk is busy.

Yeah, I'm a Cole fan, though, so that made me look forward to the Dirk project, so shout out to Dirk for that. And the Cole verse was crazy. She said she went to St. John's because of J. Cole, she got dreads because of J. Cole,

and she rides city bikes because of J. Cole. That's what she said. Yeah, sure. That's what you told me. You be gassing stuff, man. I believe him. All right, so the next one

we're going gonna get into Is Janelle Monet's new record You guys probably seen the video It's going viral It's called Lipstick Lover That's phenomenal

So will Charlamagne Be my lipstick lover For sure What does that mean What's lipstick lover mean Lipstick lover It's lesbians right I'm assuming

Oh okay okay The video You know It's giving like One big orgy That's what it seemed like Got you Did you guys see it I did I saw the clip of it I saw her The video, you know, was giving like one big orgy. That's what it seemed like. Got you, got you, got you.

Did you guys see it? I did. I saw the video. You didn't see the video? I saw the clip of it. I saw her tits. Her tatas. Tatas.

I saw those. I did. I saw those. I hate having conversations with you guys. That's what I saw. I mean, it was a clip of her flashing in, but I also seen a video where she's swimming through the people's legs. No, I saw a video. I saw the clip of her flashing in the club, but i saw a music video when she got her breast out oh

that's what she was walking up the stairs no i saw her sitting down like no i saw her at the club do that that was she was performing at a club you always see the video then no i did see the video listen there's a video that i saw on janelle monet page she posted and it's from lipstick lover no that's what she was in the water and she has a t-shirt on. No, man, it's an actual music video. All right, well, either way, what did you guys think? Definitely very BET uncut. Yes, I like this song.

It's dope. Song is dope. It got a vibe to it, like a Jamaican vibe. Summer, yeah. Y'all ain't see this? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Wow. I know I'm right, crazy human. All right, well, that's Janelle Monae's joint. And, you know, somebody commented and was like, yo, Nyla, you would be a great person to play in Janelle Monae's joint and you know somebody commented and was like yo Nyla you would be a great person

to play in Janelle Monae's biopic if they do that and I'm like oh my god I would love to do that I don't know about this era they gassing it gassing it

I don't know who's gassing it yo what nonetheless if you guys are interested I'm interested too alright and then

the last record I'm gonna do is from Cali from Atlanta and it's called Area Codes. Okay, Luda did it first. She's got to give credit to the OG.

That's all. You know what I mean? Yeah, of course. She signed to Arista, right? I think Atlantic. Warner Brothers,

Atlantic? Atlantic. Yeah, that whole family. I like the way she was flowing on there. She was definitely in pocket. Yeah,

so that's the new joint and she's been doing remixes with girls in different area codes. So she did one in New York with Kenzo B. They're just going to the West Coast. I think she's going to be doing one with Sexy Red. So it's cool because it's unifying the girls and then just spreading the record.

That's dope. I feel like everybody's signing women now. Yeah. I mean, I know why. But I wonder what's continuing to make them do that. Probably because they're selling records and making hits. Yeah, because usually they do that when it's like you know a Cardi's hot or a Meg's hot

when it's like one or two people hot but it seems like they're just signing a bunch but think about it in the last six months how many women have went number one you got from Lola, Gorilla you got Lotto you've gotten Nicki Minaj Cardi B women have dominated all year long

to the point where I wonder if we're going to get to a point where like I wonder if we're gonna get to a point where both can exist at the same time it'd be great cause I feel like it's been crickets

for the men that's not true no little baby still on the charts Drake still on the charts this record that you just played earlier is gonna be on the charts

yeah but they're not really like moving the needle like the women are moving the needle no it's been definitely a woman dominated year in the last six months

we just need somebody toxic to come out. Y'all got mad toxic. I mean, everything y'all do is toxic. I don't think we need any more of that. What we actually need is something different. We did. Lil Durk. Lil Durk on there. His album is called Almost Healed.

And that album, he's literally talking about growing and evolving. I love it. Fair enough. I think this will be a good year for Durk. Absolutely all right well we appreciate you for joining us yes of course if you guys haven't already make sure you download the pda playlist the past the ox playlist you can get it by clicking my link in bio on instagram at nyla simone n-y-l-a s-y-m-o-n-e-e-e and while i'm here i gotta do my shameless plugs i'm sorry make sure you guys follow my podcast page at We Need To Talk at the What Hip Hop Podcast

How you doing? Last time of year again That's right The Doula Expo Yay May 20th, May 21st Tell people what the Doula Expo is If they just finding out This Saturday and Sunday This Saturday and people what the Doula Expo is If they're just finding out

This Saturday and Sunday So the Doula Expo is Coachella For birth workers and families It is our annual event That is about really shaping a vision And future for what birth work could be How we can improve Maternal health outcomes

But also how we can celebrate So it's a party, it's festive It's a space where people can come together from electeds to families to hospital and health care systems. And then doulas and care workers. It's for everybody to have a day of self-care, reflection, and fun. Now this is your third one. So what's different about this one? What can people, if they've been to the recent ones and the ones before, what's different about this one? That can people if they've been to the recent ones and ones before what's different about that's a great question and be so the first year we did it in

bushwick and it was like a 6 000 square foot space we had like 400 people last year charlamagne was there um it was amazing he did a great talk with charles johnson about um black men and maternal health and then um that space was about 16 000000 square feet. We had 1,000 people. This space is 60,000, 6-0. Wow. 60,000 square feet. It's an entire floor in Hudson Yards. We have a private entrance. You come on 10th Avenue.

You come up the elevator banks. You're going to be in like Mama Glow world. And yeah, we expect a couple thousand people this year. We have amazing giveaways. This year we have a nursery set. So if you've got a baby and you just want to like, you know, or your baby's on the way and you need a brand new room, we've got an entire nursery set that's going to be gifted. It's about $10,000 of value. So and a really nice, amazing Brooklyn-based modern furniture company that's bringing that in.

We have a bunch of different activations. So CVS Health is doing an activation. So there's all these different spaces that you can go in and check out and hang out in throughout the day. And then there's also childcare. So if you have little ones and you want them to stay active,

we have a couple of childcare providers that are there activating activities for kids. You can just hang out there all day. I feel like it grows so much every year because clearly uh this information was needed and people wanted a safe space to come talk about black maternal health exactly and i think you know what we're seeing now especially with the reintroduction of the black maternal health um monibus act which you know is now in its third year being presented we need to get it. I think this is a great space to also lift up policy and legislative efforts that are really

important right now. And for those who don't know, Senator Cory Booker and Representative Underwood were the people who really drove forward this legislation through the Black Maternal Health Caucus. And what's really important about this particular package of legislation is it's 13 different bills that it's the most comprehensive piece of legislation to get pushed through, that we need to push through, that addresses maternal health. And so we haven't seen anything like it. We do need to get it passed. We do need to do this on a national level because then it'll impact locally how health funding is dispersed how we think about accountability when things like maternal deaths happen how we account for data it will really help us to do better for for our black moms and this is something that uh vice president kamala

harris has really gotten behind too right absolutely it is one of the pieces on the federal agenda and it's something that um even when she was a senator, she was, she was doing this work in California. And so, you know, she has also signed on to everything. The white house has made a commitment to maternal health and they have their maternal health blueprint that they released last year that really

kind of outlined like what their provisions were and what they wanted to do on a national level to improve maternal health. How did you get outiana Ali to become host? Because, you know, we haven't seen that legend in a long time. I know, right? I was going to ask the same thing. You know, Tatiana and I, we knew each other for a long time. And she also is an incredible maternal health advocate and somebody who had, she shared

her experience, actually, that she had a really challenging first birth experience, which she was able to share and highlight like what happens to people even people who are resourced right um because we know stories like serena williams and beyonce as well and so she was sharing how she had a similar experience where she wasn't supported in the way she needed and that made her you know really stand on the front lines and also support and champion maternal health but um but we're friends too and she was like look i'm coming i want to do this we need to like make it a celebration and last year we had karen parsons you cool with all the banks yeah next year we gotta have will and jada right no but um but amazing i mean she's so great and i think the mission and what we're doing

you know is just about like uplifting birth workers, uplifting maternal health. And also just like, you know, it's a celebration, too, because birth should be joyful and transcendent and and celebratory. Right. And a lot of the conversations we're having obviously focus on maternal deaths. And if we're focused there, you know, it does take us away from the really beautiful things we should also be celebrating and preparing people for. So that's what this weekend is about. It's about celebration. It's about loving up on people, gifting them, making sure that they have the resources that they need. We've been able to support a lot of birth workers and also people in community who can't afford to attend with, you know, access to the event. So that's another thing that we're also proud of.

And you're a professor at Brown University as well, right? Yes. So since I saw y'all last, I had a historic appointment at Brown University as an assistant visiting professor of the practice of gender and sexuality studies in the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. I know it's a lot.

And so at Brown... I saw that Ronon desantis would strike that down if he had the chance oh yeah he would yeah he'd be like wait what um gender studies sexuality studies like right so um but what's great about this appointment at brown is that i've been working with the next generation of people who want to be in health care who want to be ob-gyn's um my students like the the range of students will be like bioethics um ob-gyn uh public health ob-gyn and pre-med that's interesting i never thought about that before was doulas recognized are they recognized as like medical professionals that's a great question so they're not they're non-clinical care providers so with that and

that's very important because somebody might say oh let me have a doula to come deliver my baby that's not supposed to happen right you're supposed to have a clinician so a midwife or a physician to deliver the baby the doula is there as a non-clinical care provider to provide emotional support physical support education advocacy tools and partner support so that when you move this process you have what you need to you know to feel supported i was going to ask for people that want to come out this weekend you know how can they is it purchasing tickets how can they get tickets and what should they expect what time should they be there and you know a lot of other stuff i'm like so excited because i'm like i want to experience today but i have to work today that's right um so um so 10 a.m doors open the

When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. That is actually my positive note of the day, okay? This is just all fun and games. It's just men having delightful, playful banter back and forth with each other. That's all. And everybody gonna win at the end of the day. Your car show gonna be a success.

Ross' car show gonna be a success. Right now, it's just all about who got the best jokes. All right, but Eddie Murphy still man-milked in his bed. You gotta stop saying that because I don't know what Eddie got to do with it.
