The Breakfast Club - Get In My Belly

Episode Date: January 25, 2022

Today on the show we opened the phone lines to see what the fatest thing our listeners have done, after a video surfaced of a woman speaking going through obstacles trying to hide the fact she went to Chick Fil A instead of the gym. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey fo the Day" to a woman who tried to buy another woman's child from her, but after we opened the phone lines, to see what would be the reason if our listeners actually could give away their kids, just for kicks and giggles.

to do allow me to introduce myself allow me to introduce myself dj envy angela yee and charlemagne the god well y'all came a long way i think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for you know what everybody else does and y'all are just the best at what y'all do this platform the reach y'all have that you've earned make space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the coaches. Oh my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlemagne and DJ Envy. Yes, you are. All I do is read about the Breakfast Club.

Every morning, you guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of that. I'm like, uh, what happened on the Breakfast Club today? Get your ass up. Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Good morning. We back. Second day of the week. Nobody ever says that. You don't ever hear nobody say, second day of the week. But it is. Is it really the third day?

It's actually the third day. That is true. Because Sunday is the first day. We don't count Sunday as the first day, but it is. I would usually count Monday as the first day. Yes. The day you actually have to go to work. But Sunday is actually the first day of the week.

So it's the third day of the week. Third day of the week, y'all. Woo. Just me? Sounds exciting. All right. All right, guys. I didn't hit like that.

Okay. Just to give you guys a heads up, next week is Chinese New Year, February 1st, and it is going to be the year of the tiger.

What's that mean? Actually, the year of the tiger is supposed to be good financially for people because tigers are very aggressive in that. So there's all kinds

of rituals. Tigers make a lot of money. The only tiger I ever know got paid was Woods and the dude on the Froth and Flicks box. Well, Tony the Tiger? Yeah. Tigers make a lot of money. The only tiger I ever know got paid was Woods and the dude on the Froth and Flicks box. Tony the Tiger? Yeah, there you go.

I think it's a tiger, not a dude. Rack City, dude. Rack City, that tiger too. Tiger. I don't really count him as a tiger tiger. He's not a tiger tiger.

He's a tiger. More of a tigger because of the way it's spelled. T-Y-G-A. All right, big tigger. But he made money though. He made money. Yes.

Tiger Woods and Tony the Tiger are definitely the most paid Tigers that we know. If Tony the Tiger's getting residuals and royalties off being on them Frosted Flake boxes. I must say, Tiger was it extremely well for himself, though. He did. But if Tony the Tiger is making money off Frosted Flakes, if he got ownership of Frosted Flakes, he got Tiger Woods. We got to call Peter. I don't know how they're treating Tony the Tiger on that box.

If Tony don't got no ownership, he needs some equity in Frosted Flakes. That'd be a damn shame, right? Mm-mm-mm. Alright, well let's get the show cracking, alright? Front page news, what we talking about? Well, let's talk about the federal trial for three ex- officers charged in George Floyd's killing has started. So we'll give you some updates. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. And shout out to Isaac Hayes III. He'll be joining us this morning. He's the founder and CEO of Fanbase, which is a free, monetized social network that allows anyone to make money off their content.

And a lot of our listeners are invested in Fanbase. So y'all should tune in this morning. That's right. Now, Fanbase has photo, video, audio, chat, live stories, all types of things. So we'll talk to him a little later. But let's get into some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? Well, let's

start with the federal trial that started yesterday for three ex-officers charged in George Floyd's killing. That is for Jay Alexander Kong, Thomas Lane and Toe Tao. They're being charged with deprivation of rights under color of law for allegedly failing to give George Floyd medical aid. That happened on May 25, 2020.

Toh and Kong are also being charged with failing to intervene in Chauvin's use of unreasonable force as he kneeled on George Floyd's neck and back for over nine minutes. If you guys recall, Derek Chauvin actually went to trial last year. So that murder trial was in state court last year. So yesterday was opening statements. The prosecutor spoke for about 30 minutes, saying that three committed federal crimes

when they ignored George Floyd's repeated pleas of I Can't Breathe. She said each made a conscious choice over and over again. Now the defense is arguing that this is many of the arguments that Chauvin made in his state murder trial. They said that George Floyd was on drugs and resisting arrest and that the officers had insufficient training and that there was more to the story than the viral bystander video showed. That trial does resume at 1030 a.m. today. So we'll be keeping an eye on that. Now, let's talk about Lauren Smithfield. She's a 23-year-old black woman.

She was found unresponsive in her home. And this was on December 12, 2021. This was in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A Bridgeport Police Department officer, they said, an individual called the police. It was a man that she had met on Bumble, on a dating app. And she had been on a date with him the night prior. The family is now suing the city of Bridgeport. They say that they did not adequately collect physical evidence from Lauren's home

and refused to consider the man that she was on a date with as a person of interest. They also alleged that the police department was racially insensitive to the family and violated their civil rights. Now, the Bridgeport Police Department released a statement. They said they were awaiting the final report from the medical examiner's office on the cause and manner of death. And so but the family is saying, you know, when they found the woman unresponsive, when they found Lauren unresponsive, they did not even question the man that she had been with

the night before. They were drinking shots of tequila when she became ill, went to the bathroom to vomit. The man told the police after she returned, they continued drinking tequila with mixers. They played games. They ate food. They started watching a movie.

And at some point during the night, Lauren's brother stopped by her home to collect clothes from her. When she came back, she went to the bathroom for 15 minutes, and the man said that she then fell asleep on the couch. He carried her to the bed, fell asleep next to her. And we woke up early that morning to use the restroom. She was snoring. And then he said he woke up a couple of hours later and she was lying on her right side with blood coming out of her nostril on the bed.

And that's when he called the police, according to the report. So the police did not notify her family of her death. Instead, the family found out a day later they went to go visit her home and they found a note from the landlord on the door. The mom was calling. They drove over there. They found that note from the landlord. It said, if anyone is looking for Lauren, call me. The police never reached out to the family, never even tried to.

They just took her body out of the home. Sounds like a botched investigation to me. Did they say they suspected foul play or anything? Nope. They actually said that the man she went on the Bumble date with seemed like a nice man and not to jump to any conclusions. He must know somebody. Sounds to me like he got connections in that police department.

Because how did they just get to that conclusion with no investigation, no nothing? I don't know. I don't even understand. You just say he seemed like a nice man. What was the young lady's name? Her name is Lauren Smith-Fields. Lauren Smith-Fields.

Definitely rest in peace and condolences to her family. Definitely sending healing energy to Lauren Smith-Fields' family. And I hope that they get the information that they need because they are demanding more of an investigation into what happened. Yeah, you want to know what happened. That's part of the grieving process. It doesn't make the grieving process any better, but just to know to know what happened. Like, that's part of the grieving process. Like, you know, it doesn't make the grieving process any better, but just to know at least what happened.

Imagine not even trying to contact the family. Like, you remove her body from the home, but you don't even try to contact anyone? No, just a question. When you were telling the story, I was looking it up so I can see. The man, was he white? Yes. From what I saw.

She was a sister. She was black, right? Yeah, she's black. That's why they're saying it's racial. The family. Alright, well that is your Front Page News. Alright, well get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us

on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ Envy. My name is Ernest Bush. I live in Florida. I'm having a tough time right now. I just had a seizure last night. I've been having seizures since COVID started, and I've lost

promotions at jobs. I went from being a store manager to going all the way back to be a bottom again. My family's just having a tough out of seizure at my new job last week, and they haven't had me in the office since last week, and I haven't had

a check since two weeks ago. My landlord said we got a leave by June, so I had to start a GoFundMe, which is something I never thought I would have to do, but I need help. I have my two kids, I have a wife, and my epilepsy just seems to not stop, you know. And if you guys can go to my Instagram, I have an Instagram and a Twitter page.

My handle is at PapaBBaku. That's P-A-P-A-B-A-K-U-U. And that's on Instagram ground and on Twitter. And you can just click the link in the bio. It'll have you. And I'm not asking for $8 million. You know, just so I can take my meal and not get put out, honestly, with my kids and wife. That's all I'm asking for.

I appreciate it. I understand that, brother. Question. You know, you said your seizures are just starting to come up now, right around now. Is there a reason why that you're starting to have it more frequently now? So, you know what? That's a good question. I had the first one during COVID when the first happened.

And that happened because I had got a promotion to a manager at my job. And then COVID happened in 2020 about a week later or so. And then my job closed. They said, hey, we might open back up. We might not. And they stayed closed for six months. And when they did open up, they said, hey, man,

we know you just got promoted, but we're going to have to take that away. So they took away that whole position. Yeah, no, I know that. So COVID caused your seizure and not getting a promotion? Have you spoke to the doctor why they're coming more frequently now? Did you speak to a doctor to see why they're coming more frequently or no? A neurologist, I've spent like maybe a week at a time there,

but they can't seem to find out what's exactly triggering it. They said it could be stress, it could be being overworked um a week at a time there but like they can't seem to find out what exactly triggering and they said could be stressed it could be you know being overworked because i've been like buzzing my ass for like my entire life working super hard and they said it it could be that but they can't really find out what but i'm like i can't just stop doing what i'm doing because i've been like working my entire life now i got you i can't like stop you know what i'm saying well we're sending you healing energy, bro. Absolutely, brother. Hopefully people, you know,

heard your page and will definitely donate to your page, man. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on? What's up, brother? Hey, get it off your chest. What's going on?

No, I was saying, I know you do the real estate thing. I was trying to see if you had any properties out in Norfolk, Virginia Beach or something like that. You know what? I don't.

I've been looking at stuff over in Hampton by Hampton University. I know that the president of Hampton is about to this is his last year. So he has, I know he owns the Harbors. I know he owns Strawberry Banks. I know he owns all that stuff over there. So I'm looking in those areas over there. I know a lot of those college

students need off campus living. And you went to Norfolk. So you know around that area, Norfolk State, Old Dominion, or Hampton, Virginia. You got three colleges over there. So there's a lot of places where if you fix up the properties nice, you could definitely get some students in there. Yeah, yeah.

True. I was looking for a place to live. Like, I was trying to do the real estate thing. Oh, I thought you was investing. He's like, do you have a place that you can rent to me? Oh, nah, nah. Nah, nah. Nah, I mean, it's a military town, so you can definitely find a lot of great deals.

Go to auction.com. A lot of times they have some properties that are inexpensive that just might need a little bit of work. So check out auction.com. He's looking for a rental right now, it seems like. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm trying to get. All right, brother. Y'all take it easy, man.

I appreciate it. Yes, sir. I thought he was looking to invest. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, say it loud. And the kids said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet.

My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga.

On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Deontay from Gatton, South Carolina. What's up? What's up, brother?

Get it off your chest. Hey, I got four things I want to get off my chest real quick. Charlamagne, you can get your books with your autographs. I don't listen to Audible, but I just want them with your autograph. I got you, Black man. Done deal. Cowboys, I just realized, today the team that we hate, it's the fans. Y'all are

very arrogant. We are not arrogant, sir. We just believe in our team the way you believe in y'all. Like, I want y'all to ask y'all a question. What are we supposed to say every year except we going to the Super Bowl? What are we supposed to say? Oh, no, we not going to make the playoffs this year. Oh, we're going to go to the playoffs and lose. No.

Who does that? Do you do that with your life? Do you wake up every day and be like, this isn't going to work for me today, and, you know, I'm not going to have the greatest day? No. Who does that? No, but do you see how DJ Envy admits that, yeah, my Jets suck this year? You don't have no point.

He said that with a 4-12. It's my Giants, but, yes, I did say that. Exactly. What are you supposed to say on your team 4-12. Exactly. What you supposed to say when your team 4-12? I've said the last couple of years that my Knicks suck. Because they do suck.

You don't say that before the season. I might have. Shut up. No, you don't. Knock it off. And guess what? We're going to the Super Bowl next year. I got you.

Hey, versus. I think R. Kelly and Usher, they can go against each other. I don't think R. Kelly will be there, sir. I think he'll be in jail still. He might have a DJ playing his music. I know he in jail, but I'm just saying his catalog can match up with Usher. He's probably not thinking about that right now.

It's no denying that. 20 songs for somebody like R. Kelly is light. It's very easy. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Dre. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. What's Yo, it's Dre. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. What's up, Angel?

What's up, Charlamagne? Peace, my guy. What's up, King? What's up, Angie? I just got a question. I don't know if you guys was following up with the Tasha Kane, Cardi B situation. Oh, I did. I saw it yesterday.

We're going to talk about it. Oh, you are? Okay. Well, how do you feel from a journalistic standpoint how this is going to change things moving forward, especially in the YouTube space? I think that most people don't lie and make stories up maliciously to try to slander somebody,

and you can't just make things up that you know aren't true. And she admitted that she knew the things that she was saying weren't even true. Yeah, I think y'all use words for things that don't match up. Like, you know, journalism. I was having this conversation the other day, ironically. I was talking about news. There's no such thing as news anymore.

CNN isn't news. MSNBC isn't news. Fox isn't news. Because whenever your station is driven by opinion, that's not news. Correct. It's not news. I'm never a fan of trying to hurt somebody or

cause them any type of trauma by making up stories about them. But a lot of people do, and a lot of people use it to get headlines. That's right. Sometimes you gotta put your lawyers on people. I've done it a couple of times. I do it all the time. And I also feel like in that particular... I do it all the time. And I feel like in that particular case, Cardi B also asked her to take the

YouTubes down. None of this would have happened. She had plenty of notice. That's what a cease and desist is for. It's not true. It's a lie. She wouldn't take down the videos. And she said she knew that things weren't true, but she went ahead and did it anyway. At some point, you have to put your pride to the side and apologize.

And by the way, that's the difference between YouTube and being part of a corporate structure. Because once a corporate structure gets that cease and desist, they take that cease and desist seriously because they know what comes next. What comes next is the lawsuit. So if what the person said is not true or is slanderous or is liable, they got to take heed to the cease and desist. They don't take heed to the cease and desist. You get hit with a lawsuit.

Right. That's it. And you lose. Like, oh, he's calling the law. No, I'm protecting my name, especially when somebody is putting something that's not true. That's right. I've sent a zillion of them out, and I've sued a zillion more people, and I will continue if people do the wrong thing with my name. And opinion, like I said, opinion is one thing.

You can have opinion. You can have critique all day long. But, man, if you ain't addressing the facts, and you just straight up lying, and you slandering people, you're going to get hit. So, right, perfect example. If I say, I think Charlemagne has a small pee-pee, that's an opinion. But if I say I know he has a small pee-pee, I mean, that's a fact. And when I sue you, you don't want to go to court because now you got to sit on the stand and say how you know I got a small pee-pee.

You ain't ready to tell your wife that. All you can. You ain't ready for your kids to know all that, are you? Maybe I don't want my family to know either. You know what I mean? See how things backfire. What? I'm just telling you. How do you know I got small pee-pee?

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to hit us up, we got rooms on the way. Well, yeah, we can start with that. We'll talk about Cardi B. She was awarded $1.25 million in this defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in.

The Breakfast Club. Come on in. The Breakfast Club. Hey, what up? This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Vivica Fox was on her show Cocktails with Queens, and she did share a message from Regina King.

She went to go visit her, and Regina King wanted people to hear this. She said to everybody that she's gotten your text, the outpouring of love for her, her family, and her son. She appreciates it. It's just hard. And I just pray that what we do more than anything else for our sons for our children covid and everything has got everybody in a dark spot in a dark place if y'all see any signs of someone being in distress or if somebody reaches out to you that's just maybe not having a good day or so stop take a moment to make sure that they're okay she is surrounded by so much love

y'all that was the beautiful thing that when I got there. Wow. I agree. Don't even wait for the signs, easy, man. Everybody just go to therapy. Everybody. Just go. And she did also conclude with a call to bring more awareness to mental illness also. Mental illness, mental health, you know,

everything. Like, that's what I said. Don't even wait for the signs. Just everybody just go. The same way people know that the gym is good for them, just go sit down with somebody, man. Go talk to a therapist. Go talk to somebody. Just do it. All right. Now, Jasmine Sullivan's Hotels is getting a deluxe edition

that's going to have new songs and new stories. And so we also kind of got a preview that this was going to be happening last month. Jasmine Sullivan dropped two new song snippets on her Instagram account. But it looks like, yes, it's happening. She told Variety the conversation continues. I started Hotels with the idea of having open conversations as black women.

And you can't put all of that into one project. There's always more to talk about. That was my favorite album of last year by far of any genre of music. Dropping a Clues Bondfrey, Jasmine Sullivan. Still a lot of replay value. Me and the wife was riding to that the other day coming back from my daughter's cheerleading competition. Now, her label RCA would not talk about the exact number of new songs or stories that would appear on the new hotels, but they did confirm that her ballad from June of 2021, Tragic, featuring Maxine Waters, would be part of the new package.

And from what we're hearing, Ari Lennox is going to be more on it as well. So some new songs for her. How I miss a Maxine Waters is on Hotels. I miss that record. I said it's going to be coming out on the new deluxe version. Oh, I thought you said included. It's from last year.

Yeah, I don't remember Maxine Waters on that. New package. Alright, now peloton is upset they've been featured on showtimes billions you know the new season started now they already didn't like that they were featured on that uh the new sex in the city uh what is it called again just like that and just like that so they didn't like that mr big died following a peloton ride well i'll be upset about that, too. On Billions, they said they did not give them permission to use the brand on the show.

They posted, we get TV shows, want to include Peloton to get people talking. But to be clear, we did not agree for our brand or IP to be used on Billions or provide any equipment. As the show itself points out, cardiovascular exercise helps people lead long, happy lives. But apparently on this new season of Billions, somebody suffers a heart attack while riding on a bike. What's the point of using the Peloton brand? You can just use a generic bike. You don't have to say it's a Peloton. I don't think they say it. They're just on the Peloton.

But that's what I'm saying. Why not cover it up? They should have just covered it up. Most of the times on TV, they cover those brands up to avoid stuff like that. Yeah, unless they get clearance. So it's just like, what's the point? Yeah, so there's a little it up. Most of the times on TV, they cover those brands up to avoid stuff like that. Yeah, unless they get clearance. So it's just like, what's the point? Yeah, so there's a little bit of a health scare there. All right, Kanye West and Antonio Brown are launching Donda Sports Brand.

So according to Antonio Brown, he told Complex, we're just excited about the Donda Sports Brand and making this thing a competitive sports brand to the athletes. I don't think there's a lot of fashion lines for athletes wearing fashionable and comfortable clothes. So with a guy like Kanye West being able to partner with him and work with him and provide more creative genius ideas for fashion looks for athletes in general, I'm just grateful for the opportunity here soon to share what we've got with the world.

And you guys are hearing it first. We got some exciting things to look forward to this year. Makes sense. Yes. And Kanye West and his basketball academy are also on the cover of Slam Magazine, too. I think he has the number two or three kid in the country. So, yeah, it definitely makes sense. And I'm sure his team will have all that sports here.

Yeah, definitely. Drop on the clues bombs for the academy. The academy is dope. It's doing well, too. Antonio, you're going to have to follow up with Kanye about the clothing thing. What, you think he'll forget about it? Yeah, you're going to have to keep following up about that. Guaranteed.

Lamar Odom has launched his own talent management company and according to Lamar Odom, he wants it to be like Clutch, which is Rich Paul and LeBron James' talent management company as well. Here's what he had to say about it. What are your goals starting with this? I know you're

really young into this. Just to help as many kids as I can so they don't have to go through the same woes um that i went through if i can help them and we can make some money then why not right all right sort of like i'm thinking the vision i got is sort of like um like lebron james and rich paul with clutch sports that's what i want to kind kind of create a little something like that with these beautiful women in my life. Yeah, so he told TMZ Sports that he's teamed up with his manager, Tony DaBee, to kickstart Savvy Talent Management Group.

I think that's smart. I mean, I don't know how many athletes have signed with him, but I think it's dope. He's been through everything. He knows what it is. He's been through good contracts, bad contracts. He's been through the whole college thing and the street basketball. So he knows that.

I think artists should do that as well. I think Lamar knows a little something about basketball. That's safe to say. I think artists should do that too. When an artist gets to an age where they don't put out as many records to start managing some of these younger guys. Because they've been through the effed up contracts, the effed up promoters, the tours. They've been through all of that. So they can definitely help people capitalize.

All right. Now Cardi B has won a federal libel suit with blogger Tasha K. promoters, the tours, they've been through all of that. So they can definitely help people capitalize. All right. Now, Cardi B has won a federal libel suit with blogger Tasha K. She has been awarded so far $1.25 million in general damages, $250,000 for medical expenses. Tasha K was found liable on three separate claims and has been ordered to pay this money. Now, according to Cardi B, this all started back in 2019. She first sued her when she refused to take down these damaging posts of things that were not true. She was calling Cardi B a prostitute who dabbled in drugs and had contracted STIs.

And so Cardi B went on the stand during the trial, testified she was suicidal during this period as a direct result of Tasha's stories that Tasha K admitted that she made up. Yeah, I mean, I think this is a landmark case, and it should change the way folks move on these platforms moving forward. Like, you can critique, you can have your opinion, but you can't lie, and you can't slander. And all she had to do was take heed to the cease and desist. The cease and desist is a warning shot. The cease and desist is letting you know that what you're saying isn't true. And if you continue, you'll be held liable.

Right. Now, this is just what she was sued for. Now, the judge also said any potential punitive damages, Tasha K, my old cardi, will be determined in a future hearing. So, more money. And if you get the cease and desist, like, you know, consider yourself, you know, lucky. Because some people go straight to the lawsuit. Correct. You know, trust me.

Take it down. That's it. It's easy to stop. start so thirsty for views just take it down and you know what happens when you can't pay that money right when you can't pay that money the person can garnish your wages until the debt is paid so every check that comes to you some of that check will go to the person who won that lawsuit forever but think about who wants to advertise with somebody that is maliciously lying on someone moving forward. I wouldn't want to advertise with a person like that. People don't see it like that. They see they get a zillion YouTube views.

And the comments. And the retweets. And the retweets. And then you get paid off for your views. And then YouTube sometimes just put advertisers in there that you don't know on your stuff. But that's a good point. Because also, at some point, the platforms have to be held responsible. YouTube and social media,

you can't continue to let people just get on these platforms and say whatever the hell they want. If somebody is found liable for saying something slanderous on your platform

and you as a platform didn't do anything about it, you got to get hit too. That's the way it works on radio and TV. That's how it should work online. All right.

Well, that is your rumor reports. Yeah, absolutely right. All right. Now we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about. Well, that is your rumor reports. Yep, absolutely right. All right. Now we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about a new campaign called Adios Cinema. And that is with the CEO of Voto Latino.

All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Have you heard of Butter? Butter is skincare created to give melanin-rich skin a flawless complexion.

Happy third day of the week. Where we starting Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Happy third day of the week. Where we starting, Yeezy? Well, let us start with Voto Latino. Now, the CEO, Maria Teresa Kumar, sat down with Rachel Maddow and talked about her group's new campaign, Adios Cinema. They're investing six figures to hold Senator Cinema accountable for her obstruction of critical voting reforms, minimum wage increases, pandemic relief for undocumented Latinos,

and other reforms that would protect and uplift millions of Latinos. They said on their website, because I'm looking at adiosinema.org, Sinema's actions directly undermine and suppress the right and well-being of Latinos that elected her into office. We refuse to let Sinema have the last word. Voters will have the last word. And by the way, Arizona is 32% Hispanic. So this is a huge voting block. And so here is what she had to say

when she sat down with Rachel Maddow. And we engaged with Senator Sinema. We were very clear on the day of the vote where we stood and what we needed her to do. We had her back when she needed us, the Latino community. And she demonstrated that even though Arizona was ground zero for the big lie, the big audit that was fabricated that was not true, she did not take seriously this idea that voting is the essence.

And as the president said, the threshold of our democracy, where millions of Arizona and Latinos will be disenfranchised if we do not have fair free elections at the federal level where everybody regardless of party is playing by the same rules that's the energy and that's why i get upset with president biden and vice president kamala harris that's how they should be talking in regards to mansion and cinema now biden needs to take his ass to west virginia and arizona to build more grassroots support to pressure manson and cinema to do the right thing get down down or lay down. If they're not friends, they're foes. And you need to act like they're foes right now. Draw a line in the sand and call them out.

Well, let's see what happens in West Virginia with Joe, with Senator Joe Manchin, because he represents there. Now, I saw news he spoke with some voters in Charleston, West Virginia, and some of them are saying, seems like he's standing up for something that he believes in. And I'm glad that he is. So I think he's doing a great job. And then somebody else said, you know, Joe's going out on a limb. He could easily just say, what? Oh, yeah, let's spend more money. And this is great.

But for him to actually care about how the money spent, it takes a lot of guts, I think, to go out on a limb like that and risk your future and getting reelected. And they're saying that's not a surprise. In that state, Donald Trump won by nearly 40 points in 2020. And President Biden should go there and use his influence to prevent the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from helping fund, you know, Manchin's 2024 campaign. Answer them a 2024 campaign. Cut the money off. Manchin isn't up for reelection until 2024.

But they did say in West Virginia, it's a very conservative state. And so somebody liberal, somebody more liberal than joe mansion would not get elected there once again use your influence to prevent the democratic senatorial campaign committee from helping fund his 2024 campaign cut the money off when the money gets cut off people get the message and and and he even even if you know he they'll lose the state he should still publicly support a primary challenge against them let him let him flip parties go pick up more sinners, teach somewhere else. Alright, now let's talk about Joe Biden.

He was talking to a Fox News White House correspondent and this was not on video, but it was still caught in the Audible feed. And it was on C-SPAN. Here is what happened. That's a great asset. More inflation.

What a stupid son of a bitch. So the question that Peter Doocy asked was basically about whether or not soaring inflation was going to be something that was detrimental to his campaign. Don't you like to hear that from a president, though? Because all of these politicians try to act so perfect when we know they're not perfect. We know that's how they talk behind the scenes, but they still out here in this age of transparency trying to put on this illusion of perfection. I like to hear a curse word fly.

But that's why, you know, I think a lot of people like Trump because he didn't care. That's right. He told somebody kiss his ass. But he's not a politician, though. See, that's the whole point. That's true, too. He I think a lot of people like Trump because he didn't care. That's right. He'd have told somebody to kiss his ass. But he's not a politician, though. See, that's the whole point. That's true, too. He was the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice. Correct.

But I'm just saying he came off as human. Yeah. A disgusting human. A human you may not like, but a human nonetheless. I like hearing the son of a bitch. Not Trump. I mean, I like hearing Biden say son of a bitch. Then Barack O'Reilly.

He's stupid. Then Barack O'Reilly. He called him a jackass. That's right. That's right. He didn't know the Michaels hot. I don't think Biden knew the Michaels of a bitch. Didn't Barack call you a... He's stupid. Didn't Barack call you a... He called him a jackass. That's right. That's right. He didn't know the mic was hot. I don't think Biden knew the mic was hot just now. I'm sure he didn't know the mic was hot.

Well, President Biden did reach out to Peter Doocy and clear the air with him and said, it's nothing personal, pal. Trump would never. And he said he doesn't need an apology. And the president simply cleared the air. He said, I appreciated it. We had a nice call. I don't need anybody to apologize to me.

He can call me whatever he wants as long as it gets him talking. Trump would never. Okay. If the man is a stupid SOB, then he's a stupid SOB. If what he said was stupid, then it's stupid. Let it stick. All right. Period.

I preferred Obama's approach to Donald Trump's approach. I like the classy. It was fake, though. Because you called him in the hot mics calling Kanye a jackass. Well, that's one time. I'm saying he got upset that one time. And I don't think anybody never gets upset. But I do like his approach better than somebody that just says whatever and lies.

I like what gets the job done. Diarrhea of the mouth. I like what gets the job done. You can get the job done either way, right? I don't know. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. You did more the job done either way, right? I don't know. Alright, well that is your front page news. I'd have to compare. See who did more

for who and what. Alright. Alright, let's open up the phone lines. Let's have a little fun. 800-585-1051. What's the fattest thing you've done? Fattest thing? What does that mean? Whoa! What kind of question is that, man? Where did this come from?

It actually comes from tiktok 805-85-1051 jesus christ let me break it down no context no nothing i had to throw it out there i had to get you up i had to get you excited let's play okay that was weird put on my workout clothes tell my husband and family that i'm going to the gym drive right past the gym and go to chick-fil-a order the chick-fil-a meal everything large waffle shake. I think I even ordered a fruit cup and a cup of water. Sat in the parking lot for about an hour. Then I went to the dollar store and got a spray bottle. I filled it up with that water that I got from Chick-fil-A

and I started spraying myself. Even, you know, I had to spray some of my hair, my natural hair, so it would curl up like I've been sweating all in my armpits and everything. And I came home and I pretended to be exhausted. And my husband was like, hey, you want to go to Chick-fil-A? I was like, sure.

So we're talking about the fattest thing you've done. I'm so confused. What the hell just happened? On TikTok, people are talking about some of the fattest things they've done. Like this lady just said, instead of going to the gym, she ate Chick-fil-A,

then she got a spray bottle, sprayed herself down, went home. Her husband was like, oh, you want some Chick-fil-A? And then she went back to Chick-fil-A. That's fat. So we're asking, like, this weekend when I was in Charlotte, for one of the nights I ordered lobster tail with macaroni and cheese, I ordered lamb chops, and I ordered a rasta pasta.

And, yes, I ate it all. No, that's fat. A lot of my fat stuff revolves around Chick-fil-A because, you know, we do Chick-fil-A Fridays in the house. And, like, you know, when I get edibles, I love the way food tastes when I'm high. So, you know, you might order the number one, you know, and that's the first thing you eat. But then I order, like, the four-piece chicken tender meal, large, and put that away. So, boy, when them munchies kick in around midnight, 12, 30, go downstairs, throw it in the air fryer, you're back at it again.

Oh, my goodness. Okay, that's about 4,000 calories in a span of four hours. 800-585-1051. We'll hear from you some of the fattest things you've done. I'm trying to think of which thing to say, but I love dessert. And I love donuts, man. Something about them donuts. All right, 800-585.

Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking what is one of the fattest things you've done. All right. 800-585-1051.

Now, this comes from TikTok. On TikTok, people have been sharing their fat stories, something fat that they've done. I mean, it always involves some Krispy Kreme donuts, always Chick-fil-A, fried lobster always. It's always one of those, or maybe all of them together. It's just one of those things. And if an edible's involved, it's just all bad. It's all bad. Well, that's funny.

I was going to say, whenever I have edibles, that's when I do the most. And it usually involves any type of dessert, because I love dessert. And Phillip Ashley, he makes these chocolates, chocolate-covered cherries. And so I had a whole huge box of them that I ordered, and I think I ate like eight of them in a row, and I had dessert. Yeah, I love fat tings, okay? You know, back in the day, you get high, you get the Sunbeam honey bun, you know, put the Snickers on top of it, microwave it for 40 seconds,

and then eat it with a spoon. Lord have mercy. And even though I've always been lactose intolerant, sometimes you risk it all and put some ice cream on top of that thing. Man, listen, that's good eating. You know, I remember I told you about this one time I was in South Carolina. I think it was called the Thunder something. Thunderbird, Florence, South Carolina.

It looked like a cafeteria, but the food in there was amazing. Yes. And I must have went back to that line about five times. It's a buffet. The buffet, yes. Listen, all my fat stuff involves being high. You know what I'm saying? You get on them edibles, and I love to eat.

So, you know, if I know I'm doing edible, wherever we order food, I'm going to order what I'm going to eat, and then I'll order something that I know I'm going to eat when I get to Munchies later. The problem with that is it's usually a whole other meal. It is. You know what I'm saying? It's not a snack.

And you know what's really fat? When you're eating, and while you're eating, you're like, God damn, this is going to taste good later when I'm high. And I'm going to tell you what else makes you feel fat. When you done passed out from being high and drunk, and it's 12, 31 o'clock and you wake up and you think about them leftovers, and you're like, I got to eat them now while I'm high,

because they ain't going to hit the same tomorrow when I'm not. Hello, who's this? This is Dre from Hampton. Talk to us, Dre. So, Chad, you know on the cruise, right, they always got food 24 hours, right? Right. And then they got a set dinner time. Correct.

When I was on this cruise one time and I got a slice of pizza from the pizzeria and I'm heading back into my room. As I'm heading back to my room, I'm ordering room service, but I'm about to go to dinner in five minutes. See, the cruise is doing dirty, too, because it's free room service. It's free food. So I do that too. I just order some food room service

just in case you don't like the dinner, right? So you still good. And then you eat the dinner. I've never been on a cruise. Me neither. I don't like cruises. I don't want to be in the middle of the ocean in a boat for all them days.

Hello, who's this? It's Brandon. Brandon, what's up, brother? What's the fattest thing you've done? I check it out. Like, so in the hood, you, like, a few choices of food. So, if pizza is Chinese, I think that I mix them together. So, I bought me a slice, then walked to the Chinese store, got me some fried rice with some beef and broccoli.

And I took the slice out, put the beef and broccoli with the fried rice on top of the slice. Oh, man. That's some good eating, King. You the fried rice on top of the slice. Ooh, man. That's some good eating, King. You put Chinese food on top of the pizza? That's some good eating, King. With the shrimp fried rice? No, it was regular fried rice with some onions. Can you imagine the shrimp fried rice on top of a slice of pizza?

Lord have mercy. The mixture of the sauces and the taste is crazy. You eating, King? How much you weigh, bro? Thank you. How much I weigh? bro? Thank you. How much I weigh? Yeah.

I currently weigh 200. Man, I did that over the holidays. I hadn't had Chinese food in a long time. I went to Chopsticks. Chopsticks in Teaneck, New Jersey. They're like a kosher Chinese restaurant. And they got them chicken egg rolls. I ordered four of them things.

And I came home. My daughter asked for one. I act like I ain't here. Because I knew what I wanted to do later with that hair roll Hello who's this? Hello this is Keita How are you? Good morning Hey Keita

Hello, who's this? Successful and happy. There you go. Hello, who's this? This is Jasmine. Good morning.

Was it worth it though? Absolutely not I could have made that shit home Damn Goodness gracious But listen You had a great experience with your friends It was a memory

You know It was a memory That's right And that's what it's about It's about food Fellowship And friends That's what food is for You know what food does? Exactly That's right. And that's what it's about. It's about food, fellowship, and friends. That's what food is for.

You know what food does? That's right. That's right. That's right. Thank you, man. Hello, who's this? It's Fresh. Fresh, what up, man?

We're talking about some real fat boy-ish this morning, man. What's the fattest thing you've done? I ain't gonna lie, bro. I'm only like 160, but everybody who know me call me fat. They think I'm fat in spirit. Fat in spirit. I ain't gonna lie. The fattest thing, for real, bro.

Everybody say I'm really like probably 6'8", 250 because I do everything fat, bro. Last week, I ate oatmeal because I didn't want to wait on it to cool off. I put it in the freezer for about five minutes. I don't see nothing wrong with that. I do that with pizza, though. Yeah.

You do that with pizza? Yeah, pizza be too hot. I put it in the little fridge for about maybe 20 seconds, 30 seconds. I love pizza hot. I need it to burn my mouth. All right, so what about this? I microwave my ice cream. Now, that's just ridiculous. Now, that's just stupid.

Now, I do microwave it a little bit if it's too hard now. When you put that spoon in there. Yeah, you feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that now. You microwave your ice cream? No, no, I do that. Because you want your ice cream.

You want it to be soft. You want that spoon to just go right through it. Yeah, you don't want it to be rock hard. I don't microwave it, though. I just put it on the counter for a little while. Yeah, that's why you have to put it on the counter. I don't microwave it. Nah, man, I give it about 15 seconds in the microwave.

We're about to get there. Okay. Okay, okay. All right, well, thank you. All right, man. So now y'all feel fat? Y'all hungry like I am? What's the moral of the story?

Man, food is amazing, bro. The moral of the story is, you know, I think your diet is a bank account. And good food choices are good investments. And it doesn't sound like y'all making good investments. Like, I was talking about just random things. This sounds like some of y'all regular everyday diet, right? So just make sure you're making, you know, good food choices to make good investments. That's all.

But, man, food is life. I love food so much. Absolutely. Lord have mercy. We all fat. We all trans fat, bro. And we just need to accept it. Don't nobody really like eating healthy?

No. No. Oh, healthy can be delicious. That's not true. Sure. It definitely can be delicious. It don't taste like that. Yeah, I don't know.

Sure. It don't taste like the Krispy Kreme donuts. Man, the juices are juices for life. Those are amazing. It's like dessert. They good. Yeah. They taste delicious.

But nothing tastes good like the Krispy Kreme donuts. Let me taste dessert. They're good. They taste delicious. Mangoes. Oh my God. I love a good juicy mango. If all this stuff we really love to eat was healthy, if Krispy Kreme donuts kept us alive, guess what we'd be eating this morning right now. You know what I mean? If Chick-fil-A is what gave us muscles, guess what we'd be eating this morning. You remember what I used to eat every morning

up here? And I love sauteed spinach with garlic. Yum. Alright, well. This is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That fat conversation took me back, man. Took me back. You know what you could do with $5 back in the day? Like literally, when

homie called up about Foodline and all is well, you can go in Foodline, you can get a box of oatmeal cream pie. That was 99 cents. So that was like a dollar forward tax. You can get the three liter bottle of grape soda.

Not the name brand, like the generic Food Lion brand for 99 cents. That was a dollar over four. So that's $2.08. So you still got $3 left over.

So you can go play the Street Fighter arcade game or Mortal Kombat or whatever it was back in those days. You sound like back in my day.

Back in my day. Just letting y'all know. Listen, I appreciate it. Number two at McDonald's was $ in those days. You sound like, back in my day. Back in my day. Just letting y'all know. Listen, I appreciate it. Number two at McDonald's was $2.99. $2.99. $3.24 with tax. $3.24? Was it $3.24?

It was $3.24 with tax. It was definitely $2.99. I don't remember what the tax was. $3.24 with tax. All that made me do was want to start this detox. I think my plan was to start today. Every day I say I'm going to start tomorrow, but I think I'm going to start today for real after that conversation.

Now, on the way home, they opened up a Krispy Kreme about a year ago, and that light be on all the time, man. Back in the days when we were young, we're not kids anymore. You want to hear something crazy? I wish that we were kids again. I'm not the biggest fan of Krispy Kreme like that. Well, we don't talk to you. I feel like it's too, too sweet.

Like it's ridiculously sweet. Never been to Disney World, never been to Lion King, don't like Krispy Kreme. Who are you? Yeah, I'm not really the biggest fan of that. All right, well, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about this Hugh Hefner documentary on A&E, Secrets of Playboy. You know, that started yesterday, actually.

And we'll tell you some things about sexual activities with a dog. All right, we'll get into that next. sexual activities with a dog. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What happened? I was chewing my bar. Oh.

All that talk of food made me hungry. That's what some rappers need to do, chew on their bars, because some of the bars will be waxed. Just chew on them, swallow it, and think of something else to come out of your mouth. Okay. All right. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk you, Hefner. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to us. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, A&E's Secrets of Playboy started yesterday, and a lot of people are speaking about different accusations.

They're saying he recorded sexual acts without the permission of the participants. One of the women, Sandra Theodore, she was July 1977's Playmate of the Month, said that Hugh Hefner had tapes on everybody. And Stefan Tettenbaum, who worked as a valet for Hugh Hefner in the late 70s and early 80s, also addressed these allegations in the documentary. Here's a clip of that. Hefner taped everything in his bedroom and many men and stars and athletes came into the bedroom and had sex with these girls. Most of the time, Hefner never participated. He just watched. He wanted these girls and the stars. But many of the girls were devastated after what they were expected to do, what they were forced to do. Well, can you imagine after he had all these tapes of you having sex with different girls, what power he had over these men.

They said it's kind of like revenge porn. Now, there were other stories like, for instance, Santa Theodore notably alleges that she once walked in on him engaging in sexual activities with her dog. She said, I walked in on him with my dog and I said, what are you doing? I was shocked. He made it seem like it was just a one-time thing and that he was just goofing off, but I never left him alone with my dog again.

Another bestiality allegation has to do with porn star Linda Lovelace. According to reports, they're saying that she allegedly was coerced into performing oral sex on a German shepherd. Now, according to these reports, they said all the guys were laughing when Linda got out of the limousine. She was drunk and drugged. They got her so messed up that they made her give the German shepherd oral sex. They said this is despicable.

Ooh, it's disgusting when you think about all the things. And there's so many different people speaking out about things that he did. So if you guys want to watch that, like I said, that's on A&E. But is Hugh Hefner in the Playboy Mansion? I thought it was known it was freaky stuff going down at the Playboy Mansion. Like the Playboy House historically has been about women exchanging sex for money willingly. And I remember when everybody thought the Playboy Mansion was all fun and games until the young lady came out and said she was having sex with Hef for money.

What was the young lady's name? Kendra? Kendra Wilkinson, I think it was. Kendra Wilkinson. She was having sex with this 80-year- Hef for money. What was the young lady's name? Kendra? Kendra Wilkinson, I think it was. Kendra Wilkinson. She was having sex with this 80-year-old man for money. I remember everybody was making jokes like, why else would you be having sex with an 80-year-old man? I honestly didn't think it was like that.

I thought it was a big bachelor, big pad. A bunch of freaky stuff. I didn't know what was going on. It was a bunch of freaky stuff. When they say secrets to the Playboy Mansion, that was a terrible secret. I didn't expect the dog stuff. Did you hear any of these stories? I didn't know what was going on. It was a bunch of freaky stuff. So when they say secrets to the Playboy Mansion, it's like that was a terrible secret. I didn't expect the dog stuff. Well, did you hear any of these stories? I didn't know all of these stories.

Man, that's for TV, man. And listen, it may or may not be true, but listen, we know these networks are only doing these docs for ratings and revenue. They aren't trying to help anybody heal. I don't think they actually care about these women's trauma. This is about ratings and revenue. That's sensationalism for television. It could be true. It could be not true. Who knows? I mean, there's a lot of different stories

that people are telling and they're talking about different things like, you know, being coerced and having sex, being drugged and not knowing what was going on and then these revenge porn tapes. Yeah.

It's the Playboy mansion, though. Like, all this stuff been going on for years. I'm just wondering, like, why now do they start, you know, doing these things? It's for TV. Well, there were definitely

lawsuits against him before he died. And he's dead now. So now people are able to speak their truth. And if this is their truth and this is what they're saying happens, happened. A lot of this is for television. I don't know what they get out of it. A lot of it is sensationalism for TV. I can't say I wasn't there.

Neither can I. I can't say it's true or not true, but I'm not going to take away from anybody's story. But I just don't want people to think that, you know, a lot of these things aren't to help anybody heal is what I'm saying. They are cashing in on a lot of people's trauma. All right. Now, Megan Good, meanwhile, is talking about the healing process

that divorce has taken her through. She was doing a Twitter Spaces conversation with XO Nicole, and here's what she had to say. It's been for sure one of the most, if not the worst, most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life to be honest. But, you know, even though I've been grieving for months and months and months

and months and I've been in process since the end of August, since right after my 40th birthday. And I think I surprised myself in realizing that I still am that person. I still am optimistic. I still am hopeful for the future. I still, maybe this isn't a chapter, but I do feel that this is my next act. All right.

She said it was one of the most painful experiences that she's ever gone through. And that is your rumor report. Fuzzy, we are going to get that on in the next hour. I promise you. Fuzzy and Q. Yes, and Q. All right, and that is your rumor report. All right.

Now, who are you giving your donkey to, Charlemagne? Oh, man, we need Rebecca Lynette Taylor to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with them. This has been a strange thing to me. When we know people, you know what? We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go. It's time to wake up. It's The Breakfast Club. Let's go. Angela Yee here, and my friends at The General Insurance give you quality car insurance for less. Check out their affordable rates and flexible

payment options by calling 800-GENERAL or visiting thegeneral.com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. and Insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee. The Breakfast Club. The talk of the day for Tuesday, January 25th goes to a 49-year-old Texas woman named Rebecca Lynette Taylor. Now, Texas, I done told y'all, okay, there's a tier of crazy states. We all know who the number one seed and two seed is because what has your Uncle Charles been telling you on this radio for years? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx

and all of Florida. Okay, but number three is Texas. And if stories like this keep happening, y'all might start challenging the Bronx for the number two seed. Now, if you come from a certain environment, then you know about claiming someone else's kids on your taxes. Alright, I'm from Monks Corner, South Carolina.

Dropping the clues, moms, from Monks Corner. All right. In the country, we call it carrying someone else, charring on your taxes. All right. Do people still do that? Is that still a thing? I don't even know if that ever really worked or was it just something people would say. But if it was a thing, okay, you know, loan me a kid.

Let me get this cash. I'll break you off and you keep it moving. Your child is not really my dependent. All right? He don't live in my house. All right? I'm just trying to get some extra cash. All right?

Well, Rebecca Lynette Taylor is trying to do more than that. She's trying to put some money in your pocket for your child, but she also wants the child. You can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to KETK NBC for the report, please. All right, new tonight, a woman is in jail after allegedly attempting to purchase a child, Rebecca Taylor of Crockett. A woman has accused Taylor of approaching her at a Walmart and asking how much it would cost to buy her son.

This is bizarre. According to the messenger, the woman says she tried to laugh it off, but Taylor insisted, later following her out to the parking lot, offering up to $500,000 for him. Law enforcement officers say they have surveillance footage of the parking lot encounter and that it matches Taylor's appearance. Now, she's been charged with the sale or purchase of a child, which is a third-degree felony. Wow Rebecca said, forget buying kids off the black market or from some trafficking ring. She's just straight up walking up to folks in parking lots

asking to buy the kids. All right, this woman needs to be questioned and investigated because we've all seen get out. Okay, what the hell is the reason this woman, Rebecca, would say the child was the perfect fit? That's what she said. She told the mother the child was the perfect fit and her and another woman who was with her started calling the child was the perfect fit. That's what she said. She told the mother the child was the perfect fit. And her and another woman who was

with her started calling the child by his name. And Rebecca has bonded out and faces a minimum of two years and maximum of ten years in jail as well as a $10,000 fine. That's all? All of that seems too damn light. Alright, this isn't normal behavior. Remember that movie Minority

Report where they used to charge people for the crime they were thinking about doing? That needs to apply here. What the hell you wanted this little boy for? Perfect fit sounds like you building something. All right. And I want to know what the hell you building. That woman, Rebecca, should not be allowed to walk the streets without us figuring out what the plan is. OK, I also want to know, has this worked before? All right. It had to. You don't just randomly walk up to a person and ask to buy their children unless it's worked before. And you just riding around with two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash and offered up to five hundred thousand. No, no, no. Houston County Jail. You got to call her back. All right.

Go get her. This isn't right. Something not not right go search her house okay Hansel and Gretel and Jamal and Imani all might be in that house getting fat about to get eaten about to get sold for parts and y'all acting like this is normal what I don't understand about the world we live in is nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining but nobody cares about the truth when it's not celebrity attached to it if there was some type of celebrity attached to this story people would be looking at it through a different lens but since there's not celebrity attached to it. If there was some type of celebrity attached to this story, people would be looking at it through a different lens. But since it's no celebrity name attached to it, folks hear a story about Rebecca Taylor trying to buy a whole child in a parking lot for $500,000.

And it's like, eh, we are a strange people. But not as strange as Rebecca Taylor. Could you please let Remy Ma give Rebecca Taylor the biggest hee-haw? Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now I know what some of y'all are thinking. What's that? Catch me on the right day, these kids getting on my damn nerves.

You might feel like negotiating. But no. This is wrong. But this had to have worked before. It had to. You don't just randomly walk up to somebody, you got 250 grand in your car in cash and you offer another half a million if this didn't work before. It had to. You don't just randomly walk up to somebody, you got $250,000 in your car in cash, and you offer another half a million if this didn't work before.

Y'all out here just selling y'all charity? Let's open up the phone lines. If they caught you on a bad day. Man, come on now. What? This is ridiculous. 808-585-1051. Is it real topic? Would you sell your kid? I'm just asking. I'm just asking. I'm going to tell you why this is a valid question.

It's a valid question because clearly this has worked before. This wasn't her first time doing this. Let me be honest. So you think she has a bunch of children she purchased at home? I think so. That's why we need to go search the house. That's what I just said. That's why you got to go check on that house to make sure.

There should be some investigating happening here. Last week, my wife was out and I had the baby, the newborn, right? You tried to sell the child? Seven weeks. Not that one. I told the kids, do not come in this room. Daddy's putting the baby to sleep. Right when the baby went to sleep, right when she was in her deep sleep and I could finally

get her off of me, the kids kicked down the door. Boom! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! At that point... You started thinking about how much you done invested in them? I might have.

If that lady would have been at my door right now, I'd be like, which one you want? Now, what about people who got, like, packs of churn? Like, 10 or better? What? What you mean? I'm just saying. If you got 10 or more kids, you know what I'm saying? Sell one.

That's what I'm saying. How much? I'm asking. Would a half a million do it? That's the question. The question is, would you have sold your kids for a half a million dollars if you got the offer? You probably don't know all their names if you've got 10. Man, you got it.

Come on. If you know all the members of Wu-Tang Clan, you know all the names of your kids. You should. And by the way, if you don't know all the names of your kids, you should sell one. Because you clearly don't care. 800-585-1051. Call us up. It's The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right, now Charlamagne gave dog here today to who? Rebecca Lynette Taylor. Rebecca Lynette Taylor is a 49-year-old woman who walked up to another woman in a parking lot and asked to buy her child for five hundred thousand dollars. She had two hundred and fifty thousand in cash in the car at that moment.

And she told the woman that, you know, her her child will be a perfect fit. I don't even know what the hell that means. All I know is the Houston County Jail let her out of jail and she only got like a. What did she get? I forgot what she get with the sentence was like, oh, what did she get? Oh, she's facing a minimum of two years and a maximum of 10 years in jail as well as a $10,000 fine. All of that seems too damn light. But the reason we're asking this question is because she's done this before. You don't just walk up to somebody in a parking lot and randomly ask to buy their kid

if it has not worked at some point in life before. Correct. I agree with you. So what's the question we're asking? Would you sell your kids? Now, you know, we sit here and joke, but some people, maybe they would. Because you think about it, you catch you on the right day, these kids getting on your nerves, you might think about negotiating. You probably wouldn't really do it, but you

think about it. And I tell anybody all the time, if somebody take my kids, they probably going to return them, man. Because my kids ask so many goddamn questions. Why are you making the left? Why is the sky blue? Why are we making the right? Where are we going? How long till we get there? They're going to return them, man. Because my kids ask so many goddamn questions. Why are you making a left? Why is the sky blue? Why are we making a right? Where are we going? How long till we get there? By the way, this could be our inner trauma talking. Because I know when I was a child, my daddy definitely said,

let's kill him and get the insurance money. Now, whether he was joking or not, I was bad. I was a little badass little boy. Now, whether he was joking or not, I don't know. Don't say it's our trauma. My daddy never said, let's kill his boy. I said my inner trauma. I said my inner trauma. Goodness gracious. I said my inner trauma.

It's probably my inner trauma talking. You know what I mean? But yo, that's something my pop said to me when I was young. He probably was joking. You know what I mean? Got one coworker here that his pop said, let's kill him and get the insurance money. I got another coworker whose parents didn't take him to Disney. But you don't even know what you just said.

Listen to what you just said. You just said you told your kids, somebody take my kids, they'll bring your little badass back. Which kind of trauma you think that put into them? Yeah, you're right. That's why it's true. That's why my ass in therapy now. Well, let's go to the phone line and see who sell their kids. Hello, who's this?

This is Mariah. All right, good morning, Mariah. Good morning. Good morning. You selling your kids? Look at you, giggling, because you already know. Yeah, I'm selling them. I mean, it ain't like she's keeping them.

What do you mean it ain't like you're keeping them? What are you talking about? For $100,000, how much you say? She said $500,000. So you would sell one of your children for $500,000? No, Malia, she just said $100,000. Hey, they're going to bring them back anyway, so they're really going to buy them. How do you spell your name, Malia?

Why? Why are you writing your name down? How do you spell your name, Malia? M? Why you writing your name down? How do you spell your name, Malaya? M-A-R-I-A-A. What's your last name? Carrie. Carrie? Malaya? Okay, Malaya Carrie, your ass. You know

I'm calling diapers on you. Whoever your Child Protective Services is in your local region, Malaya Carrie. You seem a liar, Carrie. You wrote it down, though. Hello, who's this? This is Sunny. Sunny, good morning.

Good morning. So happy to be on. Good morning, Sunny. Well, honestly, I have a seven-year-old boy that will talk you into your grave. So, honestly, if a woman walks up to me, my son, before I can even say anything, would jump right in front and be like, no, no. And mommy, please don't tell me. I joke with him all the time because he talks so much and will just bake you down.

I say, hey, if anyone tries to walk up to you, make sure you scream, let someone know right away. But honestly, if they did get you in the car, car they probably circle the block and drop you right back off honey woman with the money i would i would offer her to make a carbon copy here i can make you one just like them let's use that you don't think this is weird that this woman tried to buy this woman's child that is insane that is insane i would respond the same way i'll call the police, you know, because just like you guys said, I don't think this is the first time

that this woman has done this before either. And that makes it even more concerning. That's right. Well, thank you, mama. Thank you. 800-585-1051. Everybody say the same thing. You take my kid,

you're going to bring my kid back because you're going to be tired of my kid. That's traumatizing. Because think about it, because that makes the child feel like, so the kid, you're going to bring my kid back. Because you're going to be tired of my kid. That's traumatizing. Because think about it. Because that makes the child feel like, so the only reason you're keeping me is because I'm your actual child. You have an obligation to me. People that ain't got no obligation to you, man, take this little boy or girl back. 800-585-1051.

Now, Charlamagne gave donkey today to who? Rebecca Lynette Taylor, who I cannot believe is walking the streets right now, facing two years and a maximum of $10,000 as well as a $10,000 fine after trying to buy somebody's child in a parking lot. She had $250 in cash in the car. And she said, I got another $250 for you if you let me get the baby right now. The baby's a perfect fit. It wasn't even a baby. It was a little boy.

My goodness. All right. Would you sell your kids? That's what we're asking. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy and Jaleel. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne gave Donkey of the Day to who? Donkey of the Day went to Rebecca Lynette Taylor. Okay, Rebecca Lynette Taylor is a woman who walked up to another woman in a Texas parking lot and asked to buy the woman's child for a quarter million dollars. She actually offered a half a million, but she had a quarter million in the car. All right, so we're asking, would you sell your kids? All right.

Now, Angela Yee, would your dad sell you now no before i was like no um i would hope not she had 250 000 in the car though for real yes like in cash they saw yes so imagine your pops right somebody come to your pops when you're a kid and say i got 250 000 right now you think your dad would sell you i think he probably tried to figure out a way to get the money and keep me. Okay. Now, if you do rob that woman, are you justified? It's like robbing a drug dealer. That's what I'm saying.

You can't call the police on you. That's what I'm saying. Right? Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Clive. Hey, Clive. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Would you sell your kids, Clive? Well, it depends. Like you said, if the situation is right. What's your name? The kids are being annoyed. What's your name? Clive.

Clive. What's your last name? John. Where you calling from? John. I'm calling from Florida. What part of Florida? Broward.

Broward? Yes, sir. Why you take this info, man? Let me look up the Child Protective Services in Brawler, Florida. Clyde is joking. Clyde, we know you're joking. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. 500,000. Wow. Goodbye, Clyde. Wow. Have a good day, guys. You too. Okay, Brawler County, Florida Child Protective Services.

Clive is his name. Might just want to look him up. Oh, man. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is Rebecca Lynette Taylor needs to be in jail right now. They should have not let her out of jail until they properly investigated the situation. This is not normal behavior. As the young woman called up here and said, it's predatory behavior.

And if somebody walks up to you and offers you $250,000 and a half a million dollars for your child, and then they get out and they're only facing two to 10 years, as well as a fine of $10,000, how is that normal? That's not normal. How can you just, ow, how is that just something that you let somebody out for? That's not normal. I need to go investigate this woman to see what the hell is going on. She should be investigated.

You know why she's not being investigated? Guess what? Racism! Clear Caucasian. White. Okay. Alright. Come on, man. Alright. Shout out to all my kids. I know my kids listen to on the way in the school in the morning. I wouldn't give it out. Very traumatizing. I love y'all. And we got rumors on the way? Yes, and we'll

be talking about Kanye's Hollywood Unlocked interview. The whole thing has been released. It's a 45-minute conversation. We'll tell you what he said. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's try Paul Wall again. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Hey, well, Paul Wall recently did an interview with the Fact Podcast and he talked about what he learned about his dad. He said he didn't know his dad. His dad left when he was only five or six and listened to what he found out. Did you know your dad, though? Growing up, you know, he left us when I was about five, six years old.

And I never knew what happened other than my mom would always have me and my sister paranoid that we were about to get kidnapped. My biological father, he was a child molester, a serial child molester. He ended up uh kidnapping a girl he when she was a he started a you know relationship with her when she was you know 12 years old 13 years old then when she became 14 or 15 he married her and they went to canada and that's the last time i seen him wow i could see why the mom would have them paranoid and be nervous that one day the dad was going to come and kidnap them. Definitely warranted.

Mm-hmm. All right. Now, Kanye did his Hollywood Unlocked interview. There were a lot of different things that he talked about. Amongst the things that he talked about was Drake and Drake doing the set list for their concert. I watched you and Drake. By the way, you tricked him into a versus battle. No, I did not, man.

He wrote, man, come on, man. This man wrote my sentence. That was for the free Larry Hoover benefit concert that happened last year. Now he also... No, wait, wait. I was always curious with that one. So did the money that they made go to fighting

the attorneys for fighting for Larry Hoover or was just Larry Hoover winning? I have no idea. Yeah, I think that money was supposed to go there, but I think the money for the merch he got to keep because that merch was expensive. Okay. All right, now he also talked about Kim's sex tape

and how he managed to get that sex tape for her. You know, how you gonna bring me to SNL and kiss the dude you dating right in front of me? And everybody's like, oh, that's cool. After I went and went and kiss the dude you dating right in front of me. And everybody's like, oh, that's that's cool. After I went and went and got the laptop from Ray J myself that night. Right. And then got on a red. I met this man at the airport, came back and then I gave it to her. And she cried when she saw it. You know why she cried when she seen a laptop? It represents how much people didn't love her and they just saw

her as a commodity that was supposedly an unreleased sex tape right yeah the part two that everybody was talking about part two and so at first they had said that that was not in existence but now Kanye is confirming there was a part two for that sex tape now Kanye goes on to talk more about Kim Kardashian he said there were two things that he wanted from her. said it after it was done without me knowing and then it happened again so I feel like it's some poke in the bear trying to antagonize me or create this like crazy narrative because to say someone is crazy they're trying to take the power away he also said that um he was trying to go to the house and he said I took my kids back I'm driving them and North is like I want you to come upstairs and see something he said i'm hearing that the new boyfriend is that is in

the house he said he couldn't go there because of that uh now he goes on to talk about that maga hat did you ever reconcile why people were upset about you wearing the hat though yeah you know what i will say i take responsibility for the fact that i hurt their feelings, that I hurt people's feelings, you know? And I also say, I believe now that people, not just black people, just across the board, they're realizing like, yo, you have to let yay be yay. And then he goes on to say that he did want to meet with Bernie Sanders. He said Bernie Sanders met with Cardi B and not him.

You know, like it was funny. I always wanted to meet with Bernie Sanders and he refused to meet with me but I always thought that there were things that he agreed with that the earlier administration agreed with also this was before you were with Trump or after this is just around the time when I was wearing the red hat. And, you know, Bernie met with Cardi, but wouldn't meet with me. And, you know, I just felt like if I'm this polarizing of a character, why not meet with us? Well, Bernie didn't meet with Cardi. They did an interview on Instagram Live.

In Detroit at the Nassau. Shout out to the 10. Salute to Jason Lee and Hollywood Unlocked, man. I'm not mad at anybody for expressing themselves. It's your story. Tell everyone you want your story. But what's the point of airing out family business? Why invite all these other people to have an opinion on you and your family, your ex-wife and your kids?

If you want to talk about that, talk to your therapist. You and Kim go get some counseling so y'all can come to terms on how to properly co-parent. But airing all that out in the interview? Now you got people judging your family, talking crazy about the mother of your child, you're stressing her out, and why? Well, Kim's not talking about it. He is. That's my point, but still, that's his family, too. She might not want to go

with him to counseling. She might... Separation, I don't effort you no more. I didn't say Kim was talking to public. Y'all listen. I said, Kanye, why are you airing this out? No, you said y'all should go. She might not want to go to counseling. Yeah, go to counseling. Not airing out in an interview. No, all together to figure out how to co-parent. They got kids.

You don't hear Kim say it directly. You just hear sources close to the Kardashians say. That's how it always comes out. What happens if Kim starts airing out? What do you think she knows? What if Kim starts airing out dirty laundry on Kanye, then what? I don't think she would do that because that ain't P. R-G. So you're saying Kanye, then what? I don't think she would do that because that ain't P. R-G.

So you're saying Kanye's not P? You're saying Kanye's not P? That ain't P. She's K. R-G. That ain't no letter. Or it's P for Pete. I don't know what that is.

See, I play too much. See, I play too much. All right, now 50 Cent and Mona Scott Young are producing Hip Hop Homicides for WE tv and Van Lathan is going to be hosting. It's an unscripted series and it will look into the staggering number of unsolved murders in the hip-hop community in an attempt to uncover details of what really happened. It's an eight-part series. It'll air later this year on AMC Network's WE tv as well as the streaming service All Black. Don't drop on the clues moms for 50 and Mona Scott and Van Laten. I wonder if they're

going to do a different show every episode. I mean, a different situation every episode. That would make sense, right? Yeah, it makes sense because there's a lot of unsolved murders

and unsolved... I hope they do ones that we're not familiar with. Like, you know, I think they've exhausted Biggie and Pac, don't you think?

Yeah, there are so many other ones, too. And there might be some from artists that are regional that may not have gotten that national acclaim. So that could be interesting, too. All right, well, that is,

and maybe helps solve some of those crimes. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, well, let's get to the mix. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Come on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char's get to the mix. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Isaac Hayes III. What's up, brother?

What's up? What's up? How you guys doing? The last time you checked in, you were telling us about your platform fan base, and you were allowing our listeners to invest into the company. We're doing it again. We are raising another $2.6 million on StartEngine. You can go to startengine.com slash fanbase to invest.

We've already raised a million dollars in like three and a half weeks and I'm stopping at $2.6 million. Wow. All right, so now maybe somebody didn't see the first interview. So let's give a refresh on Fanbase and what it is. So Fanbase is a social media platform

that allows anybody to monetize their content the moment they join. So it's free to join, doesn't cost any money, but you can decide that if you want to have subscribers or followers, you can have both on the same page. People subscribe to you and people can also love your posts, which is virtual currency that users buy

and you get about half a penny per love. So it's a great way to monetize your content. Now, for people that don't know, you know, you raised money last time. People will say, well, where's the money going, Isaac? What are you doing with the money? Well, it takes a lot of money to scale platforms. I mean, you got to think platforms like TikTok and Instagram have billions of dollars worth of resources to continue to scale and build a platform. And so right now we're just scaling,

adding users, you know, having a great time building the company. We're growing pretty fast. As you can see, the world is evolving and kind of coming around to where Fanbase is. Other platforms are starting to mimic kind of what we laid the ground to do. And so that's where we're at with it. We got to scale. Now, I saw on TikTok, there was a lot of outrage about Black creators not even making the list, even though a lot of TikTok dances and things are based on black creators. So can you speak on that also? For sure. We're like we're like in a in a crisis right now. I think that the fact that no black women are in the top 100 of TikTok creators, period.

And then there are about eight to ten black men and most of them are already famous celebrities and so what people got to understand is um i don't care how much tick tock promotes in the u.s that company is in china that is an algorithm that is in china they have very poor data on people of color and their overall goal is to cater to the larger audience of white consumers in the United States of America. So there'll never be the opportunity really for black creators to shine on a platform that is focused on ads and serving a greater audience of people that are not of color. Well, question, how do you make money? I know how you make money on fan base.

How do you make money on TikTok? Like, isn't it like sponsorships and endorsements and everything else not like tiktok's paying you well tiktok has a it still has a creator marketplace but the issue with that was um in like june of last year this young creator by the name of ziggy tyler noticed that the platform was very racist in the sense that you could put in um i want to support white supremacy and it would allow you to monetize and brands to come and pay you for that. If you put anything black, black success, black culture, black people, it would say it was a threat and not allow you to monetize via the creator marketplace. And it's still up to this day. They really haven't changed that. So TikTok really doesn't provide a way to monetize your content in that fashion. A lot of platforms are trying to, but they don't do it.

That happens a lot. You know, like my first book, Black Privilege, is banned in a lot of jails because of that same reason. They said that it's a threat and it I don't know, it encourages black people to be supremacists or something crazy like that. I mean, if we don't control the infrastructures of the platform that we make popular, then we'll never have a great opportunity. The difference between fan bases, fan base is black founded. It's black owned, but it's not black only. And it's for anybody to use. But the importance of it being black founded is we're going to make sure that people like us,

you young people are not suppressed, marginalized. Our content is not exploited to the greater good of a platform that does not return the favor in highlighting creators that make the platform popular. That's the problem. We're really, you know, I've seen, you know, I saw when Adam came on here with Instagram and I saw, you know, I see people talk about TikTok, but those people do not own those companies. They work for those companies and they do not understand the real deficit that black creators have. And if they do understand, they really do nothing about it because they have to serve the greater good of focusing on their advertising audience, which pays the bills, which makes a lot of money for these platforms rather than the user itself, which is what fan base focuses on.

I was going to ask you when it when it comes to it, you know, a lot of people with, with all these social media platforms, you know, they put a lot into it, right? They put their life, they build their pages, they use it as promotion, they use it as a tool. And then something happens and they lose their page and they can't get anybody on the phone. They can't email anybody. Is that different with fan base? Cause I tried to log in my foot, my fan base and it says, uh, come back when you're 13 years old. Cause right now.

Well, stop lying about your age, Envy. So I can't even log on to my fan base right now because they said I'm not 13 yet. But I'll get there. I'm almost 13. But, you know, is there an easy way for people to, if they have problems, to get in touch with somebody that can actually help them? Yeah, we have amazing customer support at fan base. Even though we're a small company, we really get back to people. But the part that you mentioned about people

like getting their accounts banned and stuff like that, let me explain something to everybody because I think we should have a deeper conversation about creator economy. And I love the fact that I'm raising money, which is important, but the creator economy conversation needs to be had. Number one, let me explain this to you.

Instagram is in competition with its user base. Let me explain that again. Instagram is in competition with its user base, meaning why would they give you for free what they're charging companies to have that type of visibility? If you have 20 million followers, why would they let you reach 20 million people for free when they charge companies to reach 20 million people? Shadow ban and break it all down but listen if if okay beyonce got 200 million followers right it's a great example if beyonce can reach 200 million people the brands would come directly to beyonce and pay her and not pay instagram right so they smush that down to a segment about three to four percent of your following and then they allow you to those people to see your content because that's why instagram is in competition with this user base

they can't let you have the same visibility that they pay for think about this wow 14 million people right is the equivalent of sunday night football on nbc brands pay half a million dollars for 30 seconds of airtime during sund night football. So imagine if Beyonce could reach 200 million people, what brands would pay her, right? She wouldn't even have to sing no more. Did that just start though? Because I realized in the last year, they call it, I guess, shadow banning where they block your posts from going out. If there's keywords, I guess, party, follow me or endorsements or whatever it is. And everybody's been talking about it and saying it's pretty effed up. Yeah. So let me explain this to you. If I'm a very conservative company and I'm about to

spend five or ten million dollars running ads on Instagram and I tell Instagram, I don't want any Black Lives Matter content running next to my post because you're wasting my ads. I don't want any LGBTQ content running next to my post because it's going to be a waste of my dollars and ad spend. What do you think Instagram is going to do? They're going to turn down the Black Lives Matter. They're going to turn down the LGBTQ, run those ads. And then when the ad campaign is done, they'll turn your visibility back up. That's right.

I mean, they have to cater to the larger audience of companies that are advertising to people. So they're definitely going to do that. I mean, they made $86 billion. Facebook and Instagram made $86 billion in ad revenue in 2020. They're not going to abandon that business because Black Lives Matter. What stops fanbase from doing it?

So we're not ad-based. We're a rev share model, right? So we don't worry about ads because we want to give you as much visibility as you can have. If you have 100 million followers on fanbase, we're going to send your content to 100 million people because if you make money we make money that's the point it's a rev share model we want high visibility for our users on fan base and that's important we haven't been here like this

is this is like and if you notice i'm gonna talk my i'm gonna talk my talk for a minute um patreon's been around since 2013 only fansFans has been around since 2016. But as soon as a black owned tech startup comes along that allows people to invest and have equity and monetizes content for our users, now all of a sudden everybody cares about black creators. Everybody wants to

offer subscriptions. Everybody wants to monetize content for users because they see that finally there's a platform that serves the entire audience, not just white people or Asian people, but black people, all the people together. And it's offering the opportunity for them to make money and have equity in the company. So they're a big concern. They have calls for concern. Tell them what you can donate again and invest again, I should say.

This is not a donation. It's an investment. Thank you. StartEngine.com slash fan base. The minimum to invest is $250. Come on board and let's change history. Anybody. I don't care if you're in the TikTok world, Instagram, Twitter world, white, black, Asian. We are in 170 countries. Get you some equity and leverage and help build a platform where you actually have a part ownership in.

That's the most important part. I shout to Isaac Hayes III for joining us this morning. And he fixed my fan base account already. So I'm good money now. Oh, that was quick. So you're not 13 anymore. I'm not 13. I was 12.

I'm not 12 anymore. No, that's what happens when you know the owner. Yeah. When you know one of the owners of one of these social media apps, you can get things like that done. So with all you people calling me sometimes like, yo, can you call Instagram? I don't really know the owner like that.

But fan base, I can call him immediately. I don't know the owner. I know Adam. Yeah. You know. None of us know the owner. I know Adam and, you know, some other people there. But I don't, you know.

All right. And shout to Audible. All right. Now, everyone talks about New Year's resolutions. But why is it like that? Instead of giving stuff, why not make time for things that matter to you? Like Audible stuff. Like my book on Audible.
