Yesterday, when I took the newborn to the doctor for her doctor's appointment, the doctor told me the newborn wasn't eating enough, meaning when the baby sleeps three, four hours,
Starting point is 00:03:34 usually as a parent, you're excited and hyped. You're like, yes, you got four hours of rest, but now the doctor's saying, no, wake the baby up every two hours and make sure the baby eats. That's right. So I was on. That's right. You got breasts. You got breast envy.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Should have ate the placenta so you could breastfeed your daughter. Help out. No, she doesn't want my breasts. But, yeah, so while mom and the babies were out handling everything else, I was watching little baby Peyton. And like I said, every two hours. And that's why I watch so many TV shows now because I'm up with the baby all day long. So all I do is watch Netflix. I watch whatever it is. I watch every TV show.

Starting point is 00:05:18 I'm loving everything. Taking a bath, washing the baby. Actually, today would have been a good day for us to get a vasectomy because it's going into Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. So we would have had those three days to recover. Nah, I'm trying to relax, man. What you talking about, man? Man, that's the whole point.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I thought you got to relax after you get your cable cut off. I'm taking some days off of work. I ain't taking no federal holiday. I ain't going to take a day off. I thought you guys had to, you know, how many times? Ejaculate 20 times. 20 times we have to ejaculate. That's gonna take me nine months.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Relaxing. That's gonna take me nine months to do. So Charlamagne and I, we're gonna go together. We're gonna do it on the show on OWN. Go together to do what? Get a vasectomy. That's a terrible segue. I thought he meant ejaculating 20 times. Me and Charlamagne gonna go together.

It's going to be a show. We're going to do it good, man. I'm getting a vasectomy, but it's not going to be a show. You know that ain't even my style. You guys should do it on OnlyFans. We're going to do it together. Nah. All right. Can we start the show now, please? Well, Gunna Gunna will be joining us today.
Starting point is 00:06:35 We're going to kick it with Gunna. His album is out right now, so we're going to talk to Gunna in a little bit. So I'm excited about that. DS forever. All right. And we got our front page news. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yes. So let's talking about? Yes. So let's talk about Joe Biden. He plans executive action on police reform because the issue has been stalled. He has made some promises. Let's see if he can keep any of them. All right. Well, let's kick off the show with a world premiere. This is Chris Brown.
Starting point is 00:07:00 This is new music. It's called Ify. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Pinky ring, we're about to hit D. Too tall, Ify. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. New Chris Breezy, Ify.
Starting point is 00:07:19 If you missed it, we're going to play it every hour on the hour. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Now, quickly, of course, the playoffs start this weekend, NFL. Now, tomorrow, the Bengals take on the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Also, this weekend, also tomorrow, Bills take on the Patriots. Eagles take on the Buccaneers Sunday. Cowboys 49ers Sunday. Cardinals, Rams, and Steelers Chiefs. All right? Now, what else, Rams, and Steelers Chiefs. All right. Now what else we got, Yeezy? And I do want to say that the Super Bowl is happening February 13th, and it is supposedly still going to take place in Englewood in California. So that's the plan.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yeah, February 13th. Yeah, Charlamagne, if you're thinking about going, I would book your hotels now because they're all sold out. My Dallas Cowboys, if my Dallas Cowboys make it to the Super Bowl, trust and believe Lenard McKelvey is going to find a way to make it to the Super Bowl too.
Starting point is 00:08:13 All right, now Joe Biden plans to sign executive actions on police reform this month, as early as this month, according to people familiar with the plans. So that is him trying to follow through with the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act, which stalled on Capitol Hill after they tried to create a bipartisan measure. And that did not work out. And so this is something that Joe Biden's
Starting point is 00:08:35 administration promised they would do. And in addition to voting rights and policing, they're considering ways to resurrect Biden's Build Back better package, either by cutting down some of that legislation or separating it into two bills, according to sources. Well, to me, it's all performative until it's not. Biden hasn't gotten any campaign promises done. And his support among black voters is at an all time low. That's not an opinion. It's a fact. Quinnipiac University poll has his black approval rating at 57 percent down significantly from 78 percent in April. The midterm elections this year and Democrats want to keep control of the House and Senate in the midterms.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And I don't want to act like they are moving on police reform. I'll believe it when I see it, period. And the Supreme Court is also black. Joe Biden's COVID requirements for businesses, but they did uphold health care workers mandate. So that would ensure that workers are vaccinated against COVID or that they wear masks and get tested weekly. Now, they did call on businesses, though Joe Biden called on businesses to institute their own vaccination requirements, noting that a third of Fortune 100 companies have already done so. So what they did estimate is making sure that employees, and if you have 100 or more employees at your company, that would require them to get vaccinated or wear those masks, like I said,
Starting point is 00:09:54 and show negative COVID test results. They said that would have covered nearly 80 million U.S. workers, saved over 6,500 lives, and prevented 250,000 hospitalizations in the next six months. But the court's conservative majority said the administration was going too far in imposing this requirement on the nation's businesses. So it got shot down, except for health care workers. All right, and that is your front page news. And we got to talk about the U.S. and what's going on with North Korea
Starting point is 00:10:20 and what's going on with Russia, too, because it just seems like nobody has respect for the U.S. right now. They said they got to chill out with those missiles. North Korea sent a couple more missiles this morning. They always do that. There's a lot going on, but it's just to the point now what do we do? I guess we'll talk about it later. Turn to God.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Pray. Let go and let God. I'm trying to tell y'all. 2022 is all about disconnecting with everything and reconnecting with your higher power. That's why I thank God for it all. Take a deep breath for everybody out there who can't and give it all
Starting point is 00:10:54 to God. That's how I feel. Dead serious. Alright, well get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's're upset, you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I planted the flag and just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
Starting point is 00:12:44 No country willingly gives up their territory. Well, why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small,
Starting point is 00:13:47 determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Starting point is 00:14:45 You going to propose? Oh, wow. Did you propose? Yeah. Yeah, she's asleep now. So, yeah, I will be later. It's a secret. Not now, but Charlamagne, you're right.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Let go and let God. Yes, sir. I thank y'all for y'all. I thank y'all for y'all. Y'all help. Y'all keep me focused. Y'all keep me woke at work in the morning. I just hate this beer.
Starting point is 00:15:07 It's my first time calling, and I got through. Okay. Well, man, we appreciate you. We appreciate you, King. I appreciate y'all. Congratulations, Angela. Thank you. He's all over the place.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Enjoy your wife's birthday. Happy birthday to Luana. Lola. Have a good one, brother. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Kay. Hey, Kay, get it off your chest. Every kiss begins with Kay.
Starting point is 00:15:37 I just want to say, first of all, I love you guys so much. Love you more. I just want to say thank you. I just want to say that my heart goes out to any woman that is with any man that is not treating her right physically, anything like that. I was with someone for over seven years that they just treated me so bad. I don't want to get into it, but I just want to let people know that it's OK and that if you keep trying, no matter how many times, you will get away. And now I'm with the love of my life, and he treats me as a queen. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I'm so happy to hear that. I'm so happy to hear that, queen. Thank you. Thank you so much, guys. You deserve it. Thank you. Have a good weekend. Have a good day.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Sheboba. I'm Daigo Warrior's cousin. Daigo Warrior? Yeah. Daigo Warrior? Yeah. Wait, I had a call yesterday. You guys don't remember me? No.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Nah, bros. You good, but good morning to everyone. But I just wanted to ask Charlamagne something. So I guess you guys can kind of all agree that the unity in America, it's not where it needs to be, right? Never has been cool all right cool i honestly feel one step towards that direction i i'm a black man myself so i know what i'm about to see it's about to sound crazy but i think we need to start stop
Starting point is 00:16:59 calling ourselves african-american and get start calling ourselves american that is from african descent you know i just feel like when we start putting african chinese mexican american any of that stuff in front of americans we you know subconsciously start putting ourselves in our own little bubble you know we automatically killing the world hey i'm different from you majority of americans do you think do you think do you think everybody else should do that? Italian-Americans, Chinese-Americans? You think everybody else should do that? Well, I would say if you're from
Starting point is 00:17:31 that actual country and came to America, yeah, you can call yourself Italian-American, African-American, yeah, but if you're born on American soil, just call yourself American. That is from African descent. I'm not telling anybody to discredit or just own their heritage,
Starting point is 00:17:47 nothing like that. But I feel that would be a good step in the direction to help unify us. I know that's going to take some time, but I just feel like that's just one way in that direction. Do you think that's going to get rid of systemic oppression and systemic racism
Starting point is 00:18:01 if we just start calling ourselves American? You think that'll dismantle this white supremacist system we're in? No, I don't think it will. I can think with time, you know, like, because, you know, it's a new generation, you know, as long as you keep teaching them, you know, better values and stuff like that, eventually they're going to grow up with their own mindset, with their own, you know, their own will to decide, you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:24 What my parents taught me is kind of messed up. You know, I experienced the world more. You know, I got more experience. I leveled up. You know what, what my parents taught me was crazy. I'm going to go this route instead. It's just, it's all going to take time. It's all going to take time.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I'm just listening, brother. I'm not opposed to what you're saying. I'm just listening. All right, brother. Well, you have a good one. Have a good weekend, brother. You too, player. It's just so many systems, man. You got classism and racism and sexism.
Starting point is 00:18:51 It's just so many ways to put us in different brackets. Hey, I like being in a different bracket. I like being black, personally. Alright. I don't know if I can let that go. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.

Starting point is 00:21:01 swine flu, Ebola, the Zika virus, bed bugs, anything you can throw at us, we survive. We always get the short end of the stick. Wow. I hate it. I hate how America treats its public servants. America treats its public servants the way it treats its military veterans,
Starting point is 00:21:22 like teachers, hospital workers. Y'all should have the best of the best. Y'all should have an unlimited amount of resources. Y'all should have access to everything.

Starting point is 00:26:38 This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out
Starting point is 00:26:53 the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Big Friday. Big Friday.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Big Friday. Time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free are producing a comedy movie alongside the South Park creators. They've signed on to produce a live action comedy film for Paramount and yes, so we're looking forward to that.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's going to be written by Vernon Chapman who's a stand-up comedian who also voices South Park characters. The film will tell the story of a black man who works as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum. During his internship, the man learns that he is a descendant of slaves who were once owned by his white girlfriend's ancestors.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Okay. Let me tell you something. I don't know if y'all realize how amazing that sounds. First of all, you got the creators of South Park and Kendrick Lamar. Those are three of the best, you know, creatives I've ever witnessed in my life in their respective fields.
Starting point is 00:28:01 So for them to come together and tell this story, I can't wait. I can't wait. Alright, now Degrassi, a new series has been greenlit at HBO Max The Next Generation. That is going to be streaming in the spring. So it's going to be over
Starting point is 00:28:18 10 episodes of Degrassi that will chart the painful high school experience of self-discovery by following a group of Toronto students and faculty coping with events that both bring them together and tear them apart. It's going to debut next year. That's going to be dope because now they got
Starting point is 00:28:33 great inspiration because the kid that was in the wheelchair is now one of the biggest superstars in the world musically. That'll inspire a whole new generation of the Grassy kids. You think they'll make that a storyline? What you got in your mouth, man? My tongue and an egg white.
Starting point is 00:28:50 There you go. Alright, and HBO Max is also developing a series about Wall Street's first black millionaire. So that should be they got a lot going on at HBO Max. But right now it's titled The Other Hamilton and it tells the story of Jeremiah Hamilton, a true story, a Haitian immigrant who turned Wall Street tycoon in the 1800s.
Starting point is 00:29:09 He became one of the first black millionaires using questionable, often illegal methods like scamming insurance companies, capitalizing on others' losses. But he earns the moniker Prince of Darkness. And it's based on the book Prince of Darkness, the untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street's First Black Millionaire. So basically he did what everybody else on Wall Street was doing. Correct. Like he did what every other white person on Wall Street was doing. But they call him the Prince of Darkness. Yeah, but he's been doing everything.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yeah, he's the Prince of Darkness because he's a black person who got into, that's right, he got into that white man system and finessed it for himself just like all the rest of them were doing. But he's the Prince of Darkness. I can't wait to see it, though. All right. New Atlanta season three teaser has come out and it's weird. You have to see it. We're not going to play it because it's more visual. But season three is just over two months away and they're appearing in like some product ads. So there you go. You know, i'm looking forward to season three i love
Starting point is 00:30:05 that show so get ready for that march 24th and the godfather of harlem has been renewed for a season three also by epics that is forest whitaker's led uh series so that's a 10 episode third season so congratulations to them it was a very strong second season it was their best performing season of all time, according to the network. And yes. All right, now let's get into some Kanye news. Ye is being investigated in an alleged misdemeanor battery incident, and that is for allegedly
Starting point is 00:30:36 punching a man. They said he was involved in a verbal disagreement, and the argument is allegedly to have eventually grown into a physical incident. According to the report, they said that yay is alleged to have pushed someone and then they said he punched somebody who wanted an autograph here is some audio that tmz has i'm protecting us why did he just do that what is wrong with him Give me your hand. Give me your hand. Take your hand. No, no. You were supposed to talk to her.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Why did he just do that? No, you were supposed to talk to her. What is wrong with him? All right, so there's another video that shows after the man was punched, they said he was laid out on the ground, and then that's when Kanye was yelling. I don't believe it. Kanye's done a lot of you know wild stuff throughout the year I've never heard him
Starting point is 00:31:25 do something like that exactly Kanye will yell and he'll scream and he'll be sweating and all that other stuff I ain't never seen Kanye put no hands on nobody
Starting point is 00:31:33 he ain't doing that even if he thought he was having a mental episode no I don't believe it I don't believe he did that well his new girlfriend
Starting point is 00:31:42 Julia Fox has shared some things on Nikki Takeshi's Spotify podcast Forbidden Fruits and she talked about Kanye and his mental space I mean with the mental health thing it's like okay Ye has been open about his mental
Starting point is 00:31:56 health struggles and I feel like I have been as well we all have as we should be I feel like we need to destigmatize it and stop shaming us like what the hell we didn't ask for in this way does she have a new movie coming out
Starting point is 00:32:11 no she's dating Kanye right now I have no idea in addition to that she said she's heard some of Kanye's new music it's honestly just an honor to be in the presence and to be able to um to witness history happening like even being in the studio um with him in future and listening to the new songs which
Starting point is 00:32:34 by the way are saying that's really cool does she have a book coming out her telling me that the music is insane lets me know the music is trash but listen can we go back to the mental health part like i you know i'm a person who suffers from anxiety and depression y'all know that all of us if we're being real have some type of mental health issues but acknowledging that you have them and seeking help for them are two different things you still have to go do the work you got to go to therapy you got to see a psychiatrist you know get on medication if you need to you can't just run around projecting your issues on people and saying you got mental problems. You have to go out there and actually seek healing.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah, but I will say that's what I would. That's my advice. Now, if you see the video of Kanye West in New York City and you see the brother walking up to Kanye with his hand in his pocket and Kanye's like, yo, take your hand out your pocket. Like, even though Kanye is a billionaire, he's still a man at the end of the day and he still wants to protect himself. So we don't know what happened in L.A. Maybe that guy got a little too close, and Kanye pushed him off of him. But, you know, you never know. And Kanye has that right.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Like, don't get too close to me. He might feel that way. When I seen that video of the dude with his hand in his pocket, and Kanye was like, yo, take your hand out your pocket. It shows you. Don't get it twisted. Kanye's still from Chicago. Kanye's a billionaire, but he wants to, he got to protect himself and his people. But I don't know what happened, but, you know, you're still a man. That's two different issues.
Starting point is 00:33:49 But we don't know what happened. Yeah, that's two different issues. I was just talking about the mental health thing responding to her. But in regards to Kanye, Kanye just needs security. He can't walk around by himself. He's on his regular man thing where he's showing up places by himself. You can't do that. You Kanye West.
Starting point is 00:34:04 You work for a few billion dollars. Act like it. Alright. Alright. Well, we got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, and if you get COVID, there is a chance that your penis will shrink. Alright. Well, that's iffy. Now, let's
Starting point is 00:34:20 get into Chris Brown's new record, Iffy. Right now, it's a worldwide exclusive. We're playing it every hour on the hour. And front page news is next. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Naomi McDuffie is a girl who knows exactly where she's going in life. But she's about to find out that nothing is what it seems.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Tuesday on The CW from Ava DuVernay comes the can't miss new series, Naomi. Don't believe everything you think and don't miss Naomi. Tuesday, 9, 8 central, only on The CW from Ava DuVernay comes the can't miss new series. Naomi, don't believe everything you think and don't miss Naomi. Tuesday, 9, 8 central only on The CW. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Now this weekend, playoffs start. All right. Now tomorrow, the Raiders take on the Bengals. Bills take on the Patriots on Sunday. 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles start. All right. Now, tomorrow, the Raiders take on the Bengals. Bills take on the Patriots. On Sunday, 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Steelers, Chiefs. And on Monday, Rams take on the Cardinals. Now, what else we got, Easy? Well, let's talk about COVID penis.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Now, some people are saying that it can cause your penis to shrink. One man actually was going through it. He wrote into Slate's How to Do It podcast to get advice about his penis allegedly shrinking by one and a half inches after contracting COVID. Now, here is what doctors are saying about this. Dr. Charles Welliver responded, and here's what he said. COVID is, of course, the massive respiratory symptoms that leads to a lot of the deaths. But there's also pretty significant vascular issues that occur with guys. And studies have actually shown that both guys can get pridism, the prolonged erection that's dangerous in its own right. And the guys can also get ED from getting COVID.
Starting point is 00:35:57 So it can kind of go both directions with these vascular events. But when guys get ED, they get a lack of good erections for a while, right? That's why it's defined. But when that happens,, they get a lack of good erections for a while, right? That's why it's defined. But when that happens, they actually do get some shrinkage. We do know that guys get some shrunking. So you can kind of connect the dots through that. Charlamagne, you call COVID shrinkage?
Starting point is 00:36:18 I don't know. I never had a big penis to begin with. I'm 7 inches and 3-4th. 8 inches in the summertime. About 2-3 inches of girth. I never pay attention to stuff like that. Is it a long term thing? Can you imagine if it shrunk 1.5 inches?
Starting point is 00:36:33 You would be sheesh. Does it grow back? It's kind of probably too early to tell. Who knows? I don't think it's a permanent thing they're saying right now, but they're still studying that. So it's kind of like when you go to the gym and you've been working out
Starting point is 00:36:50 and if you can't work out your penis, maybe it shrinks. What? I bet you if COVID was a human, COVID sitting back like, y'all blaming me for a lot of stuff that I don't got nothing to do with. Okay? How all of a sudden COVID messes with your penis and causes your penis to shrink. Everything going to be COVID.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I know y'all want us to go out there and get these vaccines. I know y'all need more people to go out there and get these vaccines. But damn. I ain't going to lie. If I had the vaccine, I'd definitely get it now. But I got it already. But I definitely would have got it. This is what it took.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And why COVID? I mean, I got it anyway. But you ain't going to shrink my penis. Nah, they would have to prove it. I need a larger study size. I need more people telling me that their penis shrank because of COVID. I ain't never heard that side effect, but I guess nobody would admit to that, right? Nope.
Starting point is 00:37:33 No, I think, well, they said it's because of vascular issues. And they said there actually have been a number of cases that show men who've suffered from this. And if the lack of erections for a while, you get some shrinkage. So that's basically what it is. Erectile dysfunction leading to you not having an active penis leading to shrinkage. It kind of makes sense. Alright, now Navient
Starting point is 00:37:54 has settled a lawsuit. We all have gotten those Navient letters in the mail, right? And that's for student loans. And we hate when we see that envelope that says Navient on the front of it. But the student loan company they're alleging was acting in a predatory manner when giving loans to borrowers who were accumulating billions in debt, an amount that they could likely never pay back. And so now they've canceled $1.7 billion in student debt for nearly 66,000 people after reaching a settlement in that lawsuit. They said Navient aimed to saddle certain types of students with private loans, which were very profitable for the company.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Many of these students went to for-profit schools that didn't have high graduation and job placement rates. And they purposely gave those private loans to borrowers so they could get more federally guaranteed loans. So that's that. Okay. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Now, when we come back, Gunna will be joining us. His album is out right now. So we're going to kick it with Gunna Gunna. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:38:58 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. He ain't smelling like a good grade or something green. It's Gunna. You dig. What's up, Gunna?
Starting point is 00:39:10 What's going on? How you doing? Congratulations on the album. Thank you. Thank you, my brother. I'm glad you're here too, man, because I need to be explained. I need to know what pee is.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I've been trying to use it. I think I'm using it out of context, though. Well, before you explain, how you use it? Use it in a sentence. Let me hear. Waking up early in the morning, that ain't pee. What?
Starting point is 00:39:28 If you get into the money, it is. Yeah, it depends on what you're doing early in the morning. Okay, okay, okay. If you're waking up early in the morning to pee, that ain't pee. But if you're going to get money. You must be pushing pee. Because that's how it goes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:44 If I wake up in my backyard at the beach, that's pee. That's pee. You know what I'm saying? So you woke up early in the morning to a beach, that was pee. Okay. It's simply pleur, but you also can just use it in other ways. I ain't like how he did it. That wasn't pee.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Oh, so pee is just short for pleur? It could be. Okay, okay, okay. It starts with pleur, but, okay. Like, it start with player. But then when you just start pushing it, like when you just start to push your pee, it's like everything I'm doing is really just pee-like. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:40:13 I came in, he said I'm sharp today. That coat, the jeans. He said I'm sharp this morning. I'm pushing pee early. Did you have to get all that for coming to New York? Because, you know, I know it's not as cold in Atlanta like it is here. Well, they told me it was cold, so I had to be prepared.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Gunna be winning furs in Atlanta. I already said Gunna win a million in Atlanta like it is here. Well, they told me it was cold, so I had to be prepared. Gunna be wearing furs in Atlanta. I'm just saying, Gunna wear a mink in Atlanta. I'm God. Gunna's always good money wherever. Y'all some dressing ass niggas, man. Y'all got style. When did that shit start? That start in middle school for y'all?
Starting point is 00:40:36 When did it start? I actually been, like, dressed since a kid. Like, you ask my mom, she say I used to train clothes, like, three times a day. I ain't got nowhere to go though. How much you spend on clothes weekly, just on clothes? I've never seen you wearing the same thing twice. I just can't. I mean, I don't like to show the same thing twice. Yeah. But I might spend maybe like, maybe like $15,000 a week if I'm just like having something to do. Like this week, like last week, I've been probably just smurging
Starting point is 00:41:05 because of his album. Yeah. I'm just trying to make sure. I'm just sharp every time you see me. I didn't think he was going to make it there this morning. We seen the video
Starting point is 00:41:12 the other day with you on the private jet having a problem with the pilot. So what happened? But you did make it. So what happened? Did y'all solve that problem
Starting point is 00:41:20 or did y'all have to get another pilot? We for sure had to get a new pilot. Did Drake send the plane like you said? He was about to. I was finna use it. I said,
Starting point is 00:41:27 I ain't gonna use the car yet, bro. But he did reach out like a player. He's like, Brandon, I need, you know, I'm sent. Travis reached out too. Like, bro, you know, you can get my plane. I got some real rich friends. I got some real rich friends,
Starting point is 00:41:44 you know. My flight got canceled. I gotta find another airline. You got some real rich friends. I got some real rich friends, you know. I'd be an emperor. Like, my flight got canceled. I got to find another airline. Ludacore called me one time. Ludacore was like, you need my place? One time he called me, but other than that, they ain't got no friends like that.
Starting point is 00:41:53 But you know why I respect that? Because all of y'all are going to need each other at some point. They might want you for a feature. You know what I mean? Might want you to come out to a show, something, and you'll remember that. And at this time, like, we done kind of just built relationship through just being in the game.
Starting point is 00:42:09 There's different artists. Now it's like, I got a few good real friends that I met in the industry. So the pilot was racist? Most definitely. Most definitely. What did he say? He said y'all did something, though.
Starting point is 00:42:20 What was he trying to accuse y'all of? He couldn't really figure it out. Probably weed. The first thing was id id so i got a friend he he didn't have his id on him but he had a picture and he had two credit cards so we trying to use that he like no first of all when we pulled up to the plane outside the plane like this ids i Outside the plane? Outside the plane. I never heard of that. I never heard of that. So I'm like, that's different.
Starting point is 00:42:49 We ain't really, really giving no hard time because I got a show. So everybody show ID. He don't got an ID, but he let him take his stuff on the plane because he was like, he's going to find it. So once he don't find it, my buddy don't even give him no hard time.
Starting point is 00:43:01 He go and get off the plane. Now, the flight attendant, she's like, well, we got to go ahead gonna get off the plane now the flight attendant she's like well we got to go ahead and get in the air i'm like man we don't miss him i'm hungry now i want to eat she's like no we're gonna eat in the air no ain't y'all paying him it ain't and i paid for the food and a lot too by the way this ain't a thousand dollar yeah yeah yeah once again but it's still just we talking about food. Ain't nobody going to get disrespectful. Like, we play us. We pee now.
Starting point is 00:43:27 We ain't really trying to just really give you no hard time. So now, I'm like, man, I still on. Before he take off, bring the food. She come back. She like, well, we didn't get the food. We thought the food that y'all ordered, the place was closed. I'm like, no, they ain't. But whatever. Go ahead. Just take it back was closed. I'm like, no, they ain't. But whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Go ahead. Just take it back. Man. I'm going to cut you off. I got to know what y'all rich ass be eating. What you was eating? Finger licking. I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I was just in my head. Okay. Okay. That was not finger licking. You know what I mean? Okay. Okay. I'm trying to go finger licking.
Starting point is 00:43:57 All right. Okay. Now the pilot talking about, man, someone that disrespected my colleagues. I'm like, who? Man, everybody got got the plane what man no i felt like rose apart no stayed on that till the police came they couldn't really even get get us off the plane because he didn't have an a real reason we like well what he said he said i don't know talk to her we like now i'm like man who disrespects you she like i don't want to talk
Starting point is 00:44:23 about it i just don't want to talk about it what yeah i don't want to talk about it i just don't want to talk about it what y'all don't want to talk about nothing well let me talk about the 40 000 for the plane let's talk about that let's talk about me let's talk about you know i'm saying you pay me back and we can try again another time no money no that don't work we ain't even lift off the like we took off yet do not take that money had to like, really raise and give them a problem. But they ended up giving us the money back. They had to get another jet, another pilot. Right. To get you here on time.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Right. But when we was waiting, because the dude kept saying, all right, y'all ain't going to get off? Or, all right, two more minutes? I'm like, two more minutes? He tell my, well, two more minutes? I'm like, well, two more minutes. You say something that I ain't going to say. waiting but it right that while we wait we call the
Starting point is 00:45:08 other managers like me I look for another plane go to a different broker so do y'all complain the customer service their customer service it's like you go to a broker okay so you can play into the broker because you know we don't every time you don't know like who on the plane or who the pilot gonna be so it's like when we went through it and actually that company, Paradise, whatever, like, it just wasn't a good company. Like, you know what I'm saying? So they get one star Uber rating, basically. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Did it make you want to say, you know what, I want to buy my own plane so I ain't got to deal with this no more? Most definitely. Most definitely. Even Snoop Dogg reached out to Thug and was like, nephew, come holler at me.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I got another way. You need to go ahead and buy your plane, but we can work it out and just go a different route with different brokers and just lock in with certain pilots. And that's another thing. As many times as I fly
Starting point is 00:46:00 both private and commercial, you don't really see too many black pilots. The other day I was on a Delta flight and there was a black pilot. I doubled back. I spoke to him for a second because you don't ever see that. Or women.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I don't think I've ever seen a black woman pilot. I've never seen a black woman. I don't think being a black pilot. Right. I've never seen a black pilot either. I don't think. All right, we have more with Gunna. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 00:46:20 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're still kicking it with Gunna. Yeah. Do you have any misses in your head when it comes to fashion? You know how sometimes you experiment and try something and you're like, maybe that wasn't it. Most definitely. What about the outfit that Rihanna wore Halloween?
Starting point is 00:46:35 That was a hit. That was a hit. That was a hit. That was a classic. That was a classic cool hit. Rihanna dressed up like you for Halloween, so it had to be a hit, right? Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:46:43 This Riri. What was your reaction when you seen that? I was like, oh my God. I was like, I can't believe it. I don't even know Riri, by the way. Never met her or nothing? Never met her in my life. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:55 But I inspired her somehow. I don't even know. But it felt good. She went viral. I went viral. My whole family called me like, yo, you know who you are? I'm like, no, I don't know her yet. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:08 How much did the show price go up? I know you put a couple more dollars. It's your 55s, your 65s. You ain't put out no song or nothing. You ain't see people just like me. That's right. Crazy, man. Stocks went up.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I was going to ask, does numbers matter to you or more of your fan base because your albums out right now And I know you were in a fight with the weekend So does that matter if you get a number one album or the fact that your album is just doing amazing it don't matter But it do matter what I mean is it doesn't matter because I think I were 2,000 records away from each other from, you know. Right, it's close. Yeah, close. But my thing is, like, my point got across. So that's what really mattered to me. Like, when you drop and you get the culture to just push P and everybody, like, standing on P.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And I did it. That's what did it. And my album sold more than my last. That's what matters to me. Let's talk about that record, I Don't Want to Die Alone. I mean, the title is self-explanatory, but what or who inspired that record?
Starting point is 00:48:10 I had to have been just kind of to myself when I made that song. It's a self-explanatory song, like, I don't wanna die alone. I really wanna be with someone before it's all over, you know? And that's kind of like the thing I'm pushing
Starting point is 00:48:26 just on that song. You want to get married? You want to have a family? That's P. That's P. Are you ready, though? I'm becoming ready. I'm growing into being ready.
Starting point is 00:48:35 You could be with just one woman for the rest of your life. I can't. Just not right now. Not today. Not this moment right now. That's honest. That's honest. And that's being honest is being P. If you tell your girl the truth and moment right now. That's honest.
Starting point is 00:48:47 If you tell your girl the truth and she accepts it, that's real. And people think you and Chloe Bailey are dating, but then some people say you're cousins. Definitely not my cousins. It depends on what side of the family. Charlamagne and Chloe say they're cousins. We cousins on her daddy's side. We ain't cousins.
Starting point is 00:49:03 We ain't cousins. We're really close friends. you know what I'm saying? We just- Got a hit song together. Got a hit hit song together. I plan on us performing this song like crazy. That's one you can't play with though. That's one you got a wife and marry and have a family.
Starting point is 00:49:19 That's a- That's the one you gotta go and be honest with. That's right. I ain't gonna play with you because I don't want you to play with me. I'm just saying. You just said she wasn't your cousin. I didn't say she wasn't your cousin.
Starting point is 00:49:30 He said cuz. I didn't say she wasn't your cousin. But did you know her before you did the shout out for the MTV Video Music Awards or was that how you initially got her on the track? How did that happen? Man, you blushing, man. You blushing. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop it, stop it. It's a tongue for me. That's what he said. It's a tongue for me it was it really was but no I didn't know her again and I wouldn't I look okay I was kind of sure my shot it was a shot
Starting point is 00:50:00 keep it P I mean what's it work that's like we say like the game it was a game right you know the game together something was a game, right? You were at a game together or something? It was a game. It's a common game. You know, you like the game, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I wanted to take her somewhere, you know, cool. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:50:12 Not just out to the studio. Like, we stop at the game right fast. You know, I want to ask back to the jewelry. What happened in the jewelry store where your security flipped somebody so crazy? I've never seen somebody flip so fast. And I think your security used one arm to do it. Man, dude stole like three watches from me. From you?
Starting point is 00:50:31 Not even from me, though. It was from my brother. I actually knew the dude. Like, that's how he was able to even get in my car and steal the watches. This was like one of the, not like my real homie, but when I come to Miami, his homie, I call, remember, we will pull up on me. So you was kind of like trusted a little bit. He done got in my car with the driver.
Starting point is 00:50:52 The driver called me like, yo, can I take this guy to the store? I'm like, yeah, take him to the store. He good. Man, he went to the store, came back, took the watches and left. Next morning, we find out the watch is gone. I get a call, maybe like two, three hours later, like maybe about 11 in the morning, like, hey, yo, the dude from last night just seen me.
Starting point is 00:51:14 He done started running when he seen him. I ain't even want to say who it was. So I'm like, bro, just drop your pen. I don't, you know, I don't really know Miami, but let me just see what's in the air. We get right down. He done gave the watch to the jeweler. The seller?
Starting point is 00:51:31 Jeweler got the watch. When I come, by the time I get in there, I ain't with the watch yet. I don't got no watch. So he saw you. He ain't try to run or nothing. He just. He couldn't run.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Yeah, he had a book. Because when I walked in the store, though, he could have ran. It was another door. But I had somebody at that door. But he knew him. He knew him. So he like, once he seen his face, he like.

Once he went on to slam him, he like, the jeweler got the watch. The jeweler got it. Now the jeweler like, hey, this watch? Yes, thank you. Yeah. That's all I wanted. Yeah. Now we gone on and on. I thought you said it was three watches, though.

But then the other part is like, man, you really ride for your people because I think you had on pajamas or something. And you went to go see that person on site. Morning. Me and my brother had left that morning.

Could you imagine Gunna walking to the diamond just here in pajamas looking for somebody? We can now. Yeah, we saw the video.

Starting point is 00:54:54 I'm eating greens now. I wasn't a vegetable person. And I was supposed to work out. I started. Then I stopped. Well, you know health is the real wealth. All the clothes and the jewelry, the cars, that don't mean nothing. You. All the clothes and the jewelry, the cars,
Starting point is 00:55:06 that don't mean nothing. You got to be right physically, mentally, emotionally healthy. Right. Why'd you stop working out? You're trying to burn me out. It's good for performances too, for your wind and everything. That's be my workout.
Starting point is 00:55:20 When I go on tour, I get trim. And if you're going to marry Chloe, because Chloe athletic. In the shade. Right. You know what I mean? Right. How would you feel since you're not ready to settle down if she dated somebody else right now? Oh, that wouldn't be a P of her.
Starting point is 00:55:35 You know, that wouldn't be very P of her to, you know, take my time and waste it. But you can't expect a woman to wait on you either, though, Gun. Why? I mean, not a woman like that. I mean, not a woman like that. I mean, not a woman like her, but... Yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:55:50 Because she's going to want to have a life, too. You know what I mean? Maybe she's like, this is what I want, and our goals aren't aligned right now. Right. I mean, I'm for sure going to keep her if she moves home. You know that? But I wouldn't like that.
Starting point is 00:56:05 You know what I'm saying? Especially if we're supposed wouldn't like that. You know what I'm saying? Especially if we're supposed to be doing something. You know what I mean? And that's with any woman, you know? So is it official between y'all? Or y'all like a couple? Nah. He's not ready.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You know, I want you to do good. I want you to really think about the people you around that make your energy go up and the people that you around that make your energy go down. Because every time you talk about Khloe, you get to smiling and feet get to shuffling. That's good, man. See? You got too much with her. Now what is mop? Break that down.
Starting point is 00:56:33 What's mop? Oh gosh. The acronym for mop is mouth on p***. If you mop and you dry it out, it never really dry. never ever is just all the way dry i don't care how many times you rain it's never and that's how her mom feels it's like a mop like it just it never get dry i don't care how many you know what i'm saying and that's where it came from

No, no, she look like a cow then when we do that. That's a cow. You know, we met her cow then. When she just mopping, it just wet. It just, you like a mop, baby.

Starting point is 00:58:16 get another girl to do it. I want to go back to the grocery store, man, because I don't feel like people talk about that enough. You partnered with Gooda, the openest grocery store in Atlanta, to give out free groceries to people. How's that going? How's that project going? It's going good.
Starting point is 00:58:29 It feeds up to 175 kids weekly. Damn. Do you got to restock out of pocket? Yes. Okay. But like Foot Locker, they did like kind of not like a deal, but like it's like a sponsor where like if I ever just hit them like y'all want to do some I need some more shoes for the school.

Starting point is 00:59:21 and his name came up and I had to let him know before it came out because i just ain't really like i ain't really on no suck of time like i'm really like trying to address everything in every situation before anything you know i'm saying happened so you just already know like i i knew what he stood at before anything off top he a man he gonna let you know like i got a problem with you or if like, I got a problem with you. Or if I don't got no problem with you. That's really what it was, like, you said what you said,
Starting point is 00:59:51 and I said what I said. Yeah, explain to me why they even be on your head so much about that whole thing, because everybody tried to make it seem like you was doing, like you was talking to authorities. I didn't take it like that. They don't know, so, you know, like, everybody ain't like me. I ain't gonna speak on something I don't know. I don't know so you know if like everybody like me I ain't gonna speak on someone no I don't know really what happened I ain't gonna speak on it some people just speak on it like oh he's on crime stop when I am own only

But that wasn't the case. And he definitely don't know the case. You feel me? Because he ain't from where I'm from. So I know that.
Starting point is 01:00:36 You can't tell me you know. You don't know. I had to just let him know, like, Ava, I don't f*** with you because he tried to do a song with me through my manager. It's like, Ava, I don't f*** with you because he tried to do a song with me through my manager. It's like, huh? Oh, he tried to do a song after he made those comments about you?
Starting point is 01:00:50 Right. Oh, wow. So he made the comments a long time ago. A long, long time ago. Maybe years ago. Years ago. And he thought I forgot. You must be a Virgo, man.
Starting point is 01:00:58 That stayed on your mind. Like, all right, I'm going to show you. No, he's a Gemini. I'm a Gemini. My manager a Virgo. If I got a problem with you from five years ago, it don't change. It could be ten years later. I'm going to get you.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Now, I saw you and Young Thug also paid bail for 30 low-level inmates. So that was an amazing thing that you did. So what are some more things that are on your heart that you want to do? Because I see the givebacks that you're doing for your community. I want to do something for the families that just had an incident here. In the Bronx? Yes. You should reach out to Fat Joe.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Yeah, Fat Joe. I donated to Fat Joe yesterday. Fat Joe, he's been out there. He's from the Bronx. Him and the mayor. Him and Mayor Eric Adams got out there. Yeah, because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, but I know I wanted to do something.
Starting point is 01:01:43 And that's how I be going about things, because that's how I even came up with the store. I was out of town when they went back to school, but I knew I wanted to do something for back to school. So like got with Gooder and they kind of just made him look official. Like Jasmine, she just a goat with it. Like she makes sure it's straight. Like it's going to be in order. Everybody going to get something and it ain't going to be chaos. Tell Jasmine, hit me. I want to do that. And connect Gunna with Joe, man. For sure. For sure. For sure.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Imagine if every celebrity gave back to the school that they went to and did something like that. I would love to do that. I want to connect with Gooda. I want to do exactly that grocery store thing. That's the fly I did, man. That's what you did. I want to do that in my hometown. That's fly. I'll do it in Newark somewhere. They do my Christmas give there, man. That's what you did. I want to do that in my hometown. That's fly. I'll do it in Newark somewhere. I do my own Christmas givebacks.

Starting point is 01:02:43 She said, other than money, other than Khloe. Other than... That made him happy again. See that? I had to drink some water. Parched. So, other than money, what makes Gunna happy? Like, sitting on my mama's couch

We just laughing just about my little nephews and little cousins. Like, them the times where you, like, when I come home, they be wanting to just know how I'm able to just be still just saying, just living this life because they don't know exactly how it is.

Starting point is 01:05:09 Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire? Join me every week for Post Run High.
Starting point is 01:06:32 It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, well, Cardi B was on the stand yesterday, and she told a federal jury that she felt extremely suicidal. That's all following allegations that she had herpes that was leveled against her by a YouTuber named Tasha K. Cardi B took to the witness stand.
Starting point is 01:08:13 It's the fourth day of her suit against Tasha K. And she said, you know, because of Tasha K spreading this misinformation and unsubstantiated claims about her. She actually felt suicidal, helpless. She said only an evil person could do that. And she said that she felt defeated and depressed and I didn't want to sleep with my husband. At one point, she said the rumors made her feel as though she didn't deserve my kid. And she said that she went to therapy due to the toll that the videos took on her.
Starting point is 01:08:40 During her testimony, she also denied that she had any STDs, but she said she read comments referencing the allegations after she posted a picture of her kissing culture, her daughter. So people were leaving comments like, oh, you have herpes, you're going to give your daughter herpes. So that trial is still going on and will adjourn on Tuesday, January
Starting point is 01:08:57 18th. That's terrible that you can just make up things about a person and do YouTube videos about them, and you can imagine how that feels when people are actually believing because they think this person is an authority and has substantiated claims to find out that they were just making things up for views. But I think that needs to happen. I think people need to get arrested for making up lies. I think people need to get arrested for doing that to people because people just do it and they get away with it. They laugh it off, but it affects people's lives. It affects people's mental.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Me and sued, right? And sued. Yeah, absolutely sued too. Yeah, she accused Cardi of being a prostitute and cheating on her husband. But she did try to file, Tasha K did try to file a $3 million counter suit, but that got dismissed last year after a judge said there was no evidence
Starting point is 01:09:44 that Cardi B told her fans to harass her. So that is ongoing and will keep you updated. And it's just impossible to constantly, you know, hear these things about yourself and for it not to impact you. And, you know, we live in an era where nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. Just know that those lies are at other people's expense. That entertainment is at other people's expense. Just know that. And imagine you had a baby. Who knows what she's dealing with with her hormones after that.
Starting point is 01:10:13 And then you have to deal with people attacking you when you post a picture of your child, an innocent baby, and people are saying nasty things to you when you're in a marriage. And now it's affecting how you feel at home. It's affecting how you feel about yourself. And the more you try to deny something that's not true, the more people believe it is true. So you're like, do I just not say anything? Do I have to address this? So I can't imagine how she must have felt.
Starting point is 01:10:33 So looks like it's going to go her way in court. Now, Tupac Shakur's sister has sued the longtime executor of the late rapper's estate. She accused him of embezzling millions of dollar. So I don't want to miss her name. But sex, sex, you are set to core, who is the sister and the daughter of Shakur's mother, Afini and the Tupac Shakur Foundation accused Tom Wally,
Starting point is 01:10:55 who's been the executor of the estate of taking five point five million dollars over the past five years. And that is, you know, money that he has effectively, she says, embezzled for his own benefit well in excess of what would be reasonably necessary to retain a properly qualified third party to perform such services. So now she is suing. And I hear our good friend, Londell, is going to be the lawyer on that case. Londell McMillan.
Starting point is 01:11:24 In other news, Logan Paul has confirmed that the $3.5 million box of Pokemon cards that he purchased are fake. He posted, I lost $3.5 million on fake Pokemon cards.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Can you imagine? No, I can't. Goodness gracious. He traveled to Chicago to verify his purchase with the baseball card exchange. A previous owner of the set claimed that they verified the legitimacy of the set before,
Starting point is 01:11:48 but he went to authenticate it himself in person. And according to the findings, once opened, they discovered the Pokemon card boxes were filled with G.I. Joe collectible cards. Ho, ho, ho, ho. You gotta find that guy back now. I'm sure he got that guy's information that sold it to him.
Starting point is 01:12:05 I don't know if the guy got the money, but nah. You got to give me my money back. Nah, B. All right. And Fabio Foran was on an episode of Dirty Street Confessions, and he said that he once had sex with his sister's sister while they were all in the same room. My sister, she been left the house, right?
Starting point is 01:12:23 She came back. She spent the night in my house. Well, her sister, from her father's side, she went to f***ing, I was a kid, I was like in high school. Sister on your father's side? My sister's sister, she wasn't related to me. Your sister's sister on your father's side? I f***ed with her, but let me tell you why it was the worst, right? Because my sister was in a room, and it was nighttime. It was all sleep, like sleepover thing.
Starting point is 01:12:45 And I had to go viral on her. And I just felt like I shouldn't have did it. Yeeks. Wow. But they're not related to each other because it was by blood. It was his sister's sister. Just FYI. I was going to say, like, the headline makes it sound crazier than what it is.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Like, they're not related. No. Right? How am I tripping? Yeah, that's what the headline says. He went to have sex with his sister's sister. She wasn't related to me. I promise you
Starting point is 01:13:13 it doesn't process in people's minds like that. People don't comprehend it like that. In their mind, they think, is that his sister? Is that his half-sister? It's nothing. Am I tripping? No, they're not. It's a sister's sister. They're not related at all. Not by blood.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Not by blood, no. Why is that even a headline? Freaky Friday story. That was definitely a Freaky Friday story. Hey, also, too, with that case with Cardi B, everybody needs to watch that case because it's going to impact how I feel YouTubers need to move
Starting point is 01:13:46 going forward and how people move with YouTubers going forward because I'm all about the lawsuit. I'm all about suing someone. I'm all about sending the cease and desist if folks are saying things that aren't true. And for the YouTubers, I wonder is it worth it financially? Are you making that much money off YouTube that you can afford to fight these
Starting point is 01:14:01 lawsuits, that you can afford to lose money if you lose the case? These are questions you're going to fight these lawsuits, that you can afford to lose money if you lose the case. These are questions you're going to have to ask yourself before you get on YouTube and start talking. So everybody needs to watch this case because it's going to impact how people move forward with YouTubers and such. And no, to answer your question, they're not going to make that much money off of that story.
Starting point is 01:14:18 But yeah, sometimes I think they need to get sued. You throw out a fake story, sue. I've done it a couple times. But anyway, Charlemagne, who are you giving your donkey to? I love it. Donkey of the day may or may not go to a school in Mississippi. I want to open up the phone lines and I want to go to Breakfast Club court because I want to know what y'all think about South Avon Middle School in Mississippi and their Spanx program. You heard me right there. Spanx program. We'll talk for after the hour. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:46 We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same. Naomi McDuffie is a girl who knows exactly where she's going in life, but she's about to find out that nothing is what it seems. Tuesday on The CW from Ava DuVernay comes the can't miss new series.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Naomi, don't believe everything you think and don't miss Naomi. Tuesday, nine, eight central only on The CW from Ava DuVernay comes the can't-miss new series, Naomi, Don't Believe Everything You Think and Don't Miss Naomi. Tuesday, 9, 8 central, only on The CW. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, I'm Sheldon Mays. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey, keyhole, Donkey of the Day. a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The practice club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one.
Starting point is 01:15:35 Well, Donkey of the Day for Friday, January 14th. May or may not go to counselors at South Avon Middle School in the M.I. Cricket letter, cricket letter, I. Cricket letter, cricket letter, I. Cricket letter, cricket letter, I. Hump back, hump back, I. That's right, Mississippi. Drop on the clues bombs for everyone in the SIP. Okay?
Starting point is 01:15:54 Now, the reason I say it may or may not go to South Avon Middle School is because I think, I think the school was trying to help. I believe they had good intentions, poor execution. But I'm going to let you all decide in Breakfast Club Court this morning. What are these counselors at South Haven Middle School going to Breakfast Club Court for? Well, let's go to, hold on, let me tell you the news report. Let's go to Action 5 News for the report, please. I really felt that this letter really missed the mark in so many ways.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Ashley Hoyne h South Haven Middle School grade daughter came home form about a new program. introduce a program to ad and negative effects. You trying to live up to an i offer resources for stude
Starting point is 01:16:44 health products, even shap deal body shape. They off like literature, health p There are girls who have or some other essential, maybe for whatever reason to. And I absolutely lov school felt like maybe th but shapewear should never have been in the conversation the desoto county school district says south haven middle has pulled the
Starting point is 01:17:10 plug on that program saying in part while school officials have provided insight into their positive intentions the district also understands how this type of information causes serious concern from parents. Counselors at South Haven Middle School sent out a letter with information about body image. You heard what they said. Let me read you the headline of the letter. The headline was, Why do girls suffer from body image?
Starting point is 01:17:36 And the last line to me pretty much sums it all up. It says, We the counselors of South Haven Middle School would like to have an opportunity to offer some healthy literature to your daughters on maintaining a positive body image. We are also providing girls with shapewear, bras, and other health products if applicable.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Then you as a parent, you had to check yes if you wanted your daughter to receive the healthy literature, shapewear, bras, and other products given by the counselors. Then they even had the sizes. They had the sizes for top and bottom of the shapewear. It went from small to triple X, and you had to fill in the bra sizes. All you could check, no. Okay, and it said,
Starting point is 01:18:12 My daughter may not receive the healthy literature shapewear bras and other products given by the counselors of South Haven Middle School. As a father of four, I would have consulted with my wife, and I definitely probably would have checked no. Okay Letting you know right now, by the way, I'm going to listen to the jury, but I'm all ready to say they guilty. Whatever they said, these people did, these counselors did, they did it. I want schools to have counselors who are involved. I applaud them for, for attempting to be involved. Okay. Uh, I think that social and emotional learning should be in schools from K to 12 as required curriculum.
Starting point is 01:18:47 We definitely need to increase mental health literacy in schools. But to me, what South Haven Middle School attempted to do fell way short of that. OK, first of all, how about send out a letter telling your little bullying ass kid to stop shaming my kid for how they are shaped and how they are built? All right. Let them know it's going to be consequences and repercussions if they can't leave other people charring alone. All right. About their bodies. How about that?
Starting point is 01:19:09 Then how about instead of offering healthy literature, whatever that means, you offer healthier food options at school. These kids may not have the resources or information on how to eat healthy at home. We all know food deserts are real, especially in certain communities, especially poor ones, black ones. So at least offer them the information and options at school. So at least one time out the day, they get a healthy meal. Trying to sway the jury, sir. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:19:36 I just got a couple more points. How about give these kids more extracurricular physical activities to do outside of school? Help them get in shape. Help them lose weight. Don't send out a letter saying most girls in the U.S. feel pressured to measure up to unrealistic beauty ideals and then give them something
Starting point is 01:19:54 that gives them an unrealistic appearance like a Spanx. By the way, I know nothing about Spanx. I have no problem with them, but in this situation it just seems like a temporary solution for what could be a more permanent problem. You think I'm swaying the jury? You're swaying the jury, Doug Dickens. So I shouldn't talk about, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:12 they sent out a letter to these kids who were already getting teased and shamed, and now that people know they got this letter, you're adding to whatever people may already feel about their audience. Okay, I'll hush. But I do want to, I just want to tell people may already feel about their oddies. Okay. I'll hush. 800-585-1051. I just want to tell people that if I may have swayed the jury, I may have swayed the jury a little bit,
Starting point is 01:20:32 but I do want to hear your thoughts. That's all. Oh, my goodness. You swayed the jury, Thug Dickens. All right, but 800. I don't think I swayed. I may have swayed the jury. I was just laying the facts out there.
Starting point is 01:20:42 That's all. So lay the facts on your side. And a judge talks about how he feels about a situation even before he gets the verdict from the jury. I'm just telling you how I feel about the situation. I got to sway it back the other way. So maybe there's a kid out there that is a little overweight and says, you know what? Maybe those spanks will help me out a little bit until I get out of that food desert. Until I'm able to lose that weight. Until I'm able to fix whatever it is that I need to be fixed
Starting point is 01:21:07 so kids won't be making fun of me. So maybe they're trying to help. Spanx aren't going to make you lose weight. It's shapewear. It's just going to make you look like you lose weight. It gives you the unrealistic experience. All right. But let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:21:19 This guy swayed the jury. So you might as well give him donkey. Also, I don't like how, as a father of four daughters, I don't like how women were targeted in this. Okay, I understand girls are more likely than boys to have a negative body image, but it's a lot of men out there shaped like turnips too. Okay, some men have bra sizes and they're not supposed to. And yes, there are strengths available to men as well, but my point is stop.
Starting point is 01:21:40 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. You think the school was right for doing it, for trying to help the students out? Or do you think they went too far? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We are in Breakfast Club court right now. Now, Charlemagne might have, I think he kind of gave him donkey of a day, but break down what happened, Charlemagne. There's a school in Mississippi called South Haven Middle School, and I think they had good intentions.
Starting point is 01:22:12 You know, they were trying to help young girls in their school deal with body image. So they sent out a letter, and the letter headline was, Why Do Girls Suffer From Body Image? the letter and the letter headline was why do girls suffer from body image and basically um they offered parents the opportunity to receive healthy literature shapewear and bras and other products given by the counselors of south haven middle school as a way to help uh women have a healthier body image all right so we're asking 8005-85-1051 should they get donkey of the day for doing it or are they just trying to help the students now let's start with you ye what do you think well i can appreciate like the parents were saying they thought they were
Starting point is 01:22:56 trying to help but that is definitely not the way to go about it more than half of young girls have a negative body image and by the time you get older you know between 75 and 90 percent of women struggle with that so you don't want to implement that in kids brains when they're young you do want to implement uh treating each other well and with respect and also being healthier and being active and those are the things that they should be pushing uh for confidence instead of shapewear to mask a problem yeah i i agree with you. I got four daughters and no, I don't want my daughters wearing Spanx skims
Starting point is 01:23:27 or whatever else they call those things. I want to give my daughter positive affirmations every day that says that everybody's not built the same. There's no perfect person. And if any one of my kids are...
Starting point is 01:23:39 We're all different. Respect it. Absolutely. And if one of my kids are overweight or something or whatever it may be, I'd rather, like you said, talk about eating better, talking about working
Starting point is 01:23:49 out, talking about other alternatives. But just don't put my daughter in a skims to make her look like everybody else's body out there. No, I don't want that. Don't do that to my daughter. Get those little bully-ass bad kids that's out there that's making fun of my kids or making fun of those kids. Put them kids in a detention office. Make them kids do 100 push-ups every day get them little bullying ass bad kids and then talk to
Starting point is 01:24:09 their parents too sorry yeah the only reason you should give a young girl a spank is if you are grooming her to be a police officer in the future okay i know when you hug a woman with a spank on it feels like body armor but it's not okay i promise you she's not an undercover police officer she's just wearing a spank all right well let's not an undercover police officer. She's just wearing this pink. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Gwen. Hey, where you calling from?
Starting point is 01:24:32 Brooklyn. All right, what are your thoughts? Okay, so my thoughts, hi, everyone, from the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Peace, Gwen. I know DJ Envy said that Charlamagne was swaying the jury. I kind of agree with that.
Starting point is 01:24:44 But I'm kind of working the work. Sorry if I'm not correct. No problem. But I agree. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the counselors. I feel like they were trying to help the students. They didn't say it was a particular size that they were giving the students. They didn't say it was for big girls.
Starting point is 01:25:03 So even slim girls risk things. Oh, no, they did. They did. Spanx. Oh, no, they did. They did. I said that. No, Gwen, they did. In the letter, the sizes went from small to triple X. You had to pick the size. Okay, but from small.
Starting point is 01:25:15 A Spanx and a small. The triple X. It's like an extra small. Okay, but for example, a size and a small. And a Spanx is pretty. It's like an extra small. You pretty much have to buy a Span size of a small in the Spanx is pretty, it's like an extra, it's an extra small because you pretty much have to buy a small, like a size smaller, like a six month. So I don't think they were trying to shame them. I mean, I believe that.
Starting point is 01:25:35 I don't think there was anything wrong with that. Especially where, especially where like, in reality, as a female, three things everywhere. Whether it's our stomachs or our buttocks, it doesn't look right. You know, prom season will be coming up soon. So those things will kind of come into play. Like, it will be useful. So I don't think it's going to be useful. Well, these are middle schoolers, though. And I think we can agree.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Spanx aren't the most comfortable things to wear all day. Stop swaying the jewelry. That's her. I didn't know it was for middle school. I'm thinking like high school. But middle school has dancers, too. uncomfortable things to wear all day. Stop swaying the jury. That's her. I didn't know it was for middle school. I'm thinking like high school. Middle school has dancers, too. They got the middle school dancers, too, with a young lady.
Starting point is 01:26:12 She's a teenager. Yeah, they do. The woman, Ashley Hahn, who wrote a letter, her daughter was a teenager. So I would say she's probably 13 in eighth grade. I had to guess. They still have the young dancers. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Janae. Janae,
Starting point is 01:26:27 what's your thought? I think this school deserves Donkey of the Day. Why? I'm slim. My daughter is slim, but I just hate for kids to feel less than. Like, they get bullied at school in different ways. Like, nobody wants that thrown in their face, you know? People are shaped different.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Like, people have all different sizes and shapes. Like, they should be accepted for who they are. And as children, no. Okay. I agree with Charlamagne. It starts at home. Like, you know, healthy living, healthy environment. And if they don't have those resources, I do think that's what should be preached in school.
Starting point is 01:27:02 All right. Well, thank you, Mama. Absolutely. All right. 800-585, Mama. Absolutely. All right. 800-585-1051. Should this school in Mississippi get donkey of the day? Charlamagne tried to sway the jury, but it doesn't matter because right now it's 50-50. The phone line's about 50-50, so we're taking your calls.
Starting point is 01:27:16 800-585-1051. Don't let Doug Dickens sway you. Give your own opinion. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ En Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:27:29 We are the Breakfast Club. Right now, we're in Breakfast Club Court. Now, Charlamagne, he was going to give Donkey to the school. He thought about it. He maybe didn't. He was about to, but changed his mind. Break it down, Charlamagne. South Haven Middle School in Mississippi.
Starting point is 01:27:45 It's not that I changed my mind. It's just that when I read the story, I felt like this school did have good intentions. I wasn't sure about the execution. They're trying to help girls deal with their body image. So they sent out a letter, and the headline is, Why Do Girls Suffer From Body Image? And they gave parents the option of checking yes or no. If you check yes, then your daughter would receive healthy literature,
Starting point is 01:28:08 shapewear, bras, and other products given by the counselors at the middle school. I like the intention, but I think that we should be going after the kids who are shaming, you know, these other kids to begin with. That's the first letter that should go out, that there'll be consequences and repercussions if you shame people for their bodies.
Starting point is 01:28:29 And then I think the school should offer, you know, more healthier options. I don't know what healthy literature means, but I think that they should have extracurricular courses that offer more physical activity, you know, exercise and things of that nature. And they should offer more healthier food options, you know, at the school. That's what I would have done if I was trying to create some initiative, you know, for kids that may not be in the best of shape. All right.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Hello, who's this? Good morning. Oh, Breakfast Club, good morning. Much love, much love. Good morning. Lou from Walterboro, South Carolina. Lou. What up, Lou?
Starting point is 01:28:59 What's your opinion? Oh, you said Spartanburg or Orangeburg? I said Walterboro. Oh, Walterboro to 843. What's happening? What's happening? You sound like you just took your spank off. That's right.
Starting point is 01:29:11 I do wear them. You guys, I don't think they should get dunked here today. It was a poor execution. But there are grandparents, single fathers, and trifling mothers who are raising beautiful princesses who don't have access to certain things. Some things on that list, there are little girls and young ladies who just don't have access to it or who are being parented by people who don't know that they need those things. Hmm. OK, so you say, no, they shouldn't get donkey of the day. No, they shouldn't get donkey of the day. No, they shouldn't get donkey of the day. And people should stop being so offended by offers to help underprivileged people.
Starting point is 01:29:50 There are people out there. I believe that there are young ladies who need access to health products and underwear. There are people who are in positions who don't know how to get those things for their children. Okay. Well, thank you, Lo. True. I agree with the underwear. True. Regina. Regina,
Starting point is 01:30:08 good morning. Good morning. Now, you're a gym teacher. You work at a school. What are your thoughts? I personally agree with the idea of shapewear because I see daily young women come in with not the proper undergarments and how it affects them when they're participating in sports. So,
Starting point is 01:30:23 although shapewear in itself has a negative connotation, when you think about functionality, it does a lot to help a girl feel comfortable being, especially girls who are, you know, more well-endowed. Yeah, in PE specifically, they have a lot of issues going on. So to have something to hold them in shape, hold them in spot, that's always a good thing. So I've seen a lot of girls with, you know, not the right bras and undergarments. So shapewear, I think, was a great option for the school to offer, at least. So you say no, they shouldn't get donkey today.
Starting point is 01:30:54 They should not be donkey of the day. Okay. All right. Is it like a sports bra you're saying? Like shapewear is like a sports bra if you're working out to hold things in? Correct. There are different varieties now. So you have onesies, whole onesies. You have bras and shorts.
Starting point is 01:31:08 I think there's a gap, but depending on body size, one might work better versus another. So just having it as an option, I don't think it's a negative thing. They had good attention. Okay. True. This is why conversations are important. This is exactly why we need to communicate more as a community, communicate as a people, talk to people.
Starting point is 01:31:27 So after hearing, what, five, six people, what are your thoughts, Charlemagne? Are you giving them donkey or not? Well, we had a jury of four, and out of a jury of four, we had three people who said no, they shouldn't get donkey of the day, and one person said yes. So, I mean, I got to go with the jury. I guess South Haven Middle School doesn't get donkey of the day. They already did cancel the program, though.
Starting point is 01:31:53 So, you know, I guess because of the backlash. One thing I do appreciate about the letter, there was a choice. It wasn't a mandate. It wasn't like, hey, kids, you have to receive this. They asked the parents whether or not they wanted the kids to receive this, and they gave all of their reasoning. And all of their reasoning was
Starting point is 01:32:14 simply because of the fact that a lot of young ladies do suffer from body image. Hey, man, their intention was in the right place. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and you know it's Friday, so there's new music coming out today. We'll tell you what you can be listening to over the weekend.
