Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! 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. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Starting point is 00:00:46 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. 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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:01:21 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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't believe you guys are the best.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Beast of the Planet. It's Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday. Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Yes. When is the Statue of Limitations on Happy New Year?
Starting point is 00:02:36 January 2nd. Two days ago. No, okay. Two days ago. Happy New Year anyway, man. There you go. Year 9 of the Breakfast Club. Drop on the clues bombs for us, goddammit.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Well, Year 9 started for y'all yesterday. It started for me today. Yeah you go. Year 9 of the Breakfast Club. Drop on the clues bombs for us, god damn it. Well, year 9 started for y'all yesterday. Started for me today. Yeah. Okay. In numerology, 9 means the completion of things. There you go. Yeah, and the time to clear your mind in space. Well, happy New Year. How was your holiday season? Mine? Mine was great. Yeah, we already talked about ours. Oh, I was, man, you know, I love to go to
Starting point is 00:03:01 a place called Anguilla. That island, drop on the clues bombs for Anguilla. You know, that island. Drop on the clues, Bob. I'm saying Anguilla. That island always gives me a great peace of mind. Nice little family and friend vacation. So I was there for a couple weeks, actually. Good, good, good. And now I'm back.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Feeling blessed, black, and highly favored. That's right. You're back. It's cold. It was snowing yesterday. Yes, it was snowing. Is that not the reality and the dual to your life? The reality is you can be on a beautiful island for two weeks,
Starting point is 00:03:27 living your best life, and you got to come back to New York City where it's high terror alerts and snow on the ground. Yeah? Yeah. And it's National Pass Gas Day. Oh. I just want to throw that out there.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I don't fart in my clothes. Don't throw it out there. I just want to throw that out there. I don't fart in my clothes, so I don't know when I would be passing gas if it's not in the bathroom. Yeah, and let's not celebrate that holiday in here. And congratulations, Charlamagne. You got your wish.
Starting point is 00:03:49 What was my wish? Dallas Cowboys coach was fired. I mean, that wasn't a wish. That was your wish. That's just anybody with any common sense would see that coming. I mean, like, you can't be that underperformed. Who in America can underperform at a job for nine years
Starting point is 00:04:03 and still have a job, okay, other than Jason Garrett? And Steve in the white demon. I can't nine years and still have a job. Okay? Other than Jason Garrett. And Steve in the white demon out cameraman. Steve does a good job. Come on. You guys watch Revolt every morning. One thing you never hear people complain about on Revolt is the camera work.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Come on. Let's give Steve his fries. Look at Steve. He's happy. He's so happy right now. 70% of the time, Steve's not here, though. That is true, too. He calls out a lot. That is true.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah. So, I mean, Mike McCarthy, former Green Bay Packer coach, is now the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, whatever. Yeah, I'm sure. We'll see. I'm sure the Giants will pick up your coach and your ex-coach. I'm just sure that'll happen.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I doubt that. Jail for Jason Garrett, I'm sure. I doubt that. Giants have been doing some foolish things. But anyway, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, I guess we can talk about Mike McCarthy being hired as a new coach. We don't have to now, but we'll talk about some kids.
Starting point is 00:04:48 They're 12 and 13 years old. They got shot. And we'll tell you what happened. All right. We finally got some new music. Travis Scott, highest in the room, huh? Okay. This song has been out for months.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I know. When I play it, they be like, well, you're playing it so early. But now you at it. This song has been out for months. Travis Scott is on to a compilation album now. The Jack Boys. I don't even know why. But hey, better late than never, I guess.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Jesus Christ. We just added the Baby Bop too. Lord have mercy. I know. I know. Anyway, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get your ass up.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You know, it's not radio's job to break records anymore. Simply because it's impossible. These kids are direct to consumer. Travis Scott dropping compilation albums that are selling over 100,000 and going number one without radio. So it makes sense, you know, that they don't need radio anymore. But radio just reacts to what's going on. But we got to be a little quicker.
Starting point is 00:05:32 A little? Geesh. Eyes in the Room was number one on the charts a long time ago. Have you seen some of these emails that they said, why is Envy playing these records early? I'm like, because they're the biggest records in the club. Jesus Christ. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Come on, radio. Let's get into some front page news. Well, first let me shout out to the Black College Football Hall of Fame. They sent Charlemagne and I a football helmet with some of the, I guess, athletes that went to HBCUs and made it to the league. That's what's in this big FedEx box? Yeah, that's what's in the big FedEx box is a helmet with everybody, all the players that signed it, which is pretty dope.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So shout out to the Black College Football Hall of Fame. Now, what else we talking about, Yee? Well, there was a 6.4 earthquake that struck Puerto Rico, and that was before dawn yesterday, so before this morning. And they said it's a series of quakes that have struck Puerto Rico in recent days. There's been heavy damage. They said they do expect to have power back to the island later today because the country's main power plant was actually damaged also.
Starting point is 00:06:28 That's a horrible way to start the new year. Yeah, very bad. Friends up for Puerto Rico. All right, now two children in Milwaukee were shot. They are 12 and 13 years old, and that's after they threw snowballs at passing cars in Milwaukee. It was a group of kids, and they were throwing snowballs at cars, and one of the snowballs struck a white Toyota.
Starting point is 00:06:44 That's when the driver of the car shot at the children. It's a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so both of their injuries were non-life threatening, and they were treated at a local hospital, but police are asking anybody with information to please contact the police department. That is a great life lesson right there. The reason it's a great life lesson is because you can't tell people how to react, okay? That's why you got to leave people alone.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Should they have been throwing snowballs and passing cars? Probably not. Should the guy have shot back at them? No. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:07:10 You can't control any of those circumstances. You don't know who you're playing with. But they are kids. And I did it as a kid. Kids all have done that. I threw batter ones at them.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And snowballs aren't going to mess up your car. You're missing the whole point. The point is, you don't know how people are going to react so leave people the hell alone. Yeah, but if you react like that, you deserve to go to jail.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yes, of course you deserve to go to jail. Nobody's not saying that. I'm still saying leave people the hell alone. Because if you walk down the street and somebody hits you in the face with a snowball, you don't know what kind of day that person who got hit with a snowball is having. And that's how they may react, with bullets. But kids don't think like that. Kids just having quote-unquote fun. My point is, kids need to think.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That's the whole point. They're 12. Everybody needs to think, but especially kids in this situation. Kids will be kids. Little things like that. They didn't hit anybody in the face. Crazy people are going to be crazy people. Pier 1 is going to be closing nearly half of their stores. They're closing up to 450
Starting point is 00:07:57 stores. They are reportedly near filing for bankruptcy. If you're a big Pier 1 fan, it's probably a good time to go get some of those going out of business deals that you can get right now. So do people still go to the mall? Because it seems like all the stores are closing. Yeah, people still. Listen, I still like to go to the mall.
Starting point is 00:08:16 You do, right? Not too much. I don't go to the mall too much anymore. Certain things I feel like you need to see in person. There's a lot of people returning presents because they didn't go and look at things in person and see this isn't what it looked like online. I haven't been to the mall in so long. I ordered some Puma slides
Starting point is 00:08:31 for the holidays to go off to the islands. My dumb ass called myself going in the mall during the holidays looking for some slides in the middle of winter in New York. I had to think about it once I got there. It was like, ain't no slides this winter time. I'm to think about it once I got there. You got what you want? It was like, show me.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Ain't no slide, just wintertime. I'm like, yo, you right. My goodness. You right. All right, well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Maybe you had a bad night, good night, whatever it may be. Phone lines are wide open. Again, the number, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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!
Starting point is 00:09:56 We still have the off-road portion to go. 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. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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. 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,
Starting point is 00:11:15 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 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. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,
Starting point is 00:11:49 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 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. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.
Starting point is 00:12:17 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, good morning. It's Jermaine with Bahamian Vodka. How y'all doing? Jermaine, what's up? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, man.

It's DJ Cannon from D.C. Happy New Year. Salome, Angela Yee, DJ Envy. That statute of limitations lasts until you see the person until January.
Starting point is 00:12:57 After that, then you can't say it anymore. I was wondering about that. So what if you don't see somebody until February? If I haven't seen you all January, if I haven't seen you yet, all January. If I haven't seen you, then you can still say Happy New Year. But how are we not talking Kevin Hart new Netflix special? Oh, I watched that. After he bought
Starting point is 00:13:13 y'all those fancy chairs up there. I just don't get it. I really enjoyed Kev's special over the holiday break. The one episode called The Healthy Discussion on my family vacation. And that's when Kev blamed the holiday break. The one episode caused a healthy discussion on my family vacation. And that's when
Starting point is 00:13:28 Kev blamed his cheating on his boys not being there. And his friend framing him. Okay, I don't want to talk about the cheating part. But yeah, the guy with the girl, that's just, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:40 that just wasn't cool, man. I didn't understand that part. Now, I guess you got to watch who's really around you for all 2020. You also got to hold yourself accountable't understand that part. I guess you got to watch who's really around you for all 2020. You also got to hold yourself accountable. Nobody can make you cheat with you. You got to watch who's around you.
Starting point is 00:13:50 You know what I mean? Yeah, you got to watch who's around you, too. Come on, now. But I ain't going to front him. If one of my peoples is acting a little funny about to do something stupid, I'm going to tell him. Fix up immediately.
Starting point is 00:14:01 But you also can't blame your friend if you do something stupid. You did something stupid. That's it. But if that's your friend, you tell him to fix up. Hello you do something stupid. You do something stupid, that's it. But if that's your friend, you tell him to fix up. Hello, who's this? You know, this is our phone. What's good, family?
Starting point is 00:14:10 What up, what up? Get it off your chest. You know, my daughter is talking about daddy. We got to have a conversation. So I feel like, you know, what's going on, baby? She want to say, I might probably have a boyfriend, dad. I'm like, what? My daughter's nine years old.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Ain't no woo. No. I'm calling to ask Charlamagne and Evie. And you too, Angela, because, you know, you a chick. You a chick. How am I supposed to deal with this, man? Because, like, I love my little girl. And, you know, I don't want nobody to hurt my girl.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Well, she's adorable. I know, but, you know but I don't want her to really think that this is what's okay when she's failing math right now. She's doing everything good in school, but math, she's having trouble. She's getting like a 70. So I don't want her to really focus on no boys.
Starting point is 00:14:57 That ain't what daddy's trying to do right now. How old is she? Nine. Nine? Yeah, I haven't had that problem. Her word is bomb. My daughter's 11. My daughter's 11. I ain't never had no bomb. My daughter's 11. My daughter's 11.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I ain't never had no problems. My daughter's a grade-A student, and she don't talk about no boys. They ain't doing that there. My daughter go to Queens. Queens Public School. Riverton Charter School. You know what I mean? So it might be a little different when y'all paying, you know, $20,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yo, don't be counting our pockets, son. You don't know what we pay. You don't know what we pay in our kids' private school. Well, I'll tell you what. You're absolutely right to go to private school, though. As a graduate of the Brooklyn public school system, I would say when I was nine years old, having a little boyfriend didn't really mean anything.
Starting point is 00:15:36 It wasn't like we were doing anything. Nah, F that. It's just somebody that you like. It would just be somebody that you talk to on the phone or you see at school and be like, oh, that's my bad. Nobody was doing anything. Yeah, dead dad. Yeah, I don't want my kids practicing bad habits
Starting point is 00:15:47 and having a boyfriend at 11 is a bad habit. That's right. Dead dad immediately. Boys are bad. I'm getting that crap immediately. And I want to shout out to my boy Mello that be calling up. I gave him the secret number how to get through. Oh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:16:03 You heard? Yo, that's the number that Angela gave me a long time ago. My boy Mello doing good with the number. Yo, Mello, keep rocking out. Keep playing basketball. Goodbye, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.

Hey, Charlemagne, I'm a little... Don't try to change the subject because you're a dumbass called up here about a concert that already passed. Don't try to change the subject because you're a dumbass called up here by the concert that already passed. Don't try to change the subject. Charlamagne, I am waiting on you.

Starting point is 00:23:07 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 00:23:23 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. Why your voice got all buttery when Drake was playing? Is that just a thing between beige men? When you hear one beige buttery voice, then your voice has to get beige and buttery too?
Starting point is 00:23:44 Are you flirting with me this morning? I am not. I mean, you're talking about my beige buttery voice, then your voice has to get beige and buttery, too. Are you flirting with me this morning? I am not. I mean, you're talking about my beige buttery voice. I got a Christmas gift for you, too. Don't worry. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait until next hour and give it to you. I know what it is, too. Don't worry, but you don't know what it is. I know what it is. I'm sticking my finger all in it. I know what it is. All right, let's do rumors.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Let's get to the rumors. What if somebody else wants to taste the cake? Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Tyler Perry has shared that he does not have a writer's room at all. He actually writes all of his shows by himself. He shared a video of all the scripts that he has, and here's what he said. All shows on television have a writer's room and most of the time there are 10 people 12 whatever that write all these television shows right well i have no writer's room nobody writes any of my work why am I telling this? I wrote all of these scripts by myself in
Starting point is 00:24:45 2019. What's my point? Work ethic! Damn, drop on the clues, Bonfitt Tyler Perry. Jesus Christ. When is the last time his family has seen him? Because I saw the video of all those scripts and I'm like, if you wrote all of these yourself, when do you have time to do anything?
Starting point is 00:25:02 He must really just bang it out. My God. Alright, now Harvey Weinstein is being charged with new sex crimes. So, there's four charges. Forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force, and sexual battery by restraints. The DA has
Starting point is 00:25:18 investigated allegations by eight different women. There's four women in LA, four in Beverly Hills. One woman is an Italian actress. She says that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her in 2013 at Mississippi and they said that he's going to post bail for these new charges he already has his bail bondsman, the celebrity bail bondsman
Starting point is 00:25:35 ready to go he's denying all of these allegations and he goes on trial in New York for his sexual assault case as well so it looks like they timed those things to happen at the same time and if he is convicted, he faces up to 28 years in prison. They did ask for his bail to be set
Starting point is 00:25:50 at $5 million. That's why I didn't understand last year when people saw him settle the civil part of that and they were talking like he was getting off. Like, uh, no. The criminal trial starts tomorrow, right? It started yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah. He's probably going to prison.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Yeah, let's hope so. He deserves to. So there's no reason he should get off. But yes, he did have to pay. And you know what I don't like? When people act like if there's a civil suit, that means that you just wanted money. That's not true. All right?
Starting point is 00:26:15 Just sometimes people do a civil suit also because there's a lot of things they had to pay for financially. A lot of mental strain, not being able to work and all of that. So that's why. All right. The baby has broken his silence. He was released from jail in Miami. financially a lot of mental strain not being able to work and all of that so that's why all right the baby has broken his silence he was released from jail in miami he said to whom it may concern please stop talking to me about that weak ass 48 hours i spent in jail and that failed attempt to break my spirit to interrupt the path i'm taking to my god-given success don't allow yourself to be misled by janky promoters and lazy-ass grown men itching for the opportunity to file a lawsuit that they won't win.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I remain composed and focused, knowing allegations made without honesty and integrity will never be honored by the most high. He also said, please be reminded that sucker-ass situations like these are unworthy of your time or attention. That's right. Drop on the clues bombs for that cerebral-ass Carolina nigga. You think he's slow, huh? That man not about to blow this opportunity. Baby know exactly what he doing. All right, now, Tiana Taylor, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:27:12 She has a new reality show, and that's going to be coming to BET. Remember, she had the VH1 series before, so now she has got a new show. And according to the Jasmine brand, who did this exclusively, they said that show is set to air in July. Well, actually, I don't know when it's going to come out this year, but it's on BET. What is it about? Their life? What's it about?
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's a reality show. So I'm sure it's about her, her daughter. Oh, okay. Same as what it was before. They did that already, though. Yeah, two years ago. They got more stuff going on. He's in New York.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I guess her nail salon, I'm sure. The baby, I'm sure. I would like to see Tiana document her working on a new album or something. Only because I never feel like Tiana's albums get the proper rollouts. The music is always there, but she never gets the proper rollouts, regardless of who she's signed to. Whether it's Pharrell, whether it's Kanye, Def Jam, she never gets the proper rollouts. All right, and Surviving R. Kelly Part 2. One benefit that happened from that series, there was a 40 percent spike in calls to sexual assault hotlines.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So because of that, and they actually did a whole they did a whole collaboration with RAINN, which is the National Sexual Assault Hotline. And they said that because of that, that was that 40 percent increase. So that docuseries aired from January 2nd to the 4th on Lifetime. Oh, it aired already? Mm hmm. Oh, I didn't even know that. There were interviews with new accusers, legal experts. We played some of it for you guys yesterday.
Starting point is 00:28:29 You saw R. Kelly's brothers on there. You saw a woman who was his former assistant that was actually supportive of him. A lot of different people were actually on this new Surviving R. Kelly series. That Surviving R. Kelly 2 definitely didn't have the impact that the first one had. No, not at all. As far as ratings or as far as conversation, because I ain't hear nobody talking about it. No, they were. I was watching it, and I was on social media looking at what everybody was saying while it was on.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I mean, the people I started talking about it clearly were getting paid by Lifetime to talk about it, a lot of them. Because I could tell by the way the Instagram posts and stuff were structured. They were trying to drive traffic to the show. But it definitely didn't have the impact of the first one. All right. Now, Vanessa Hudgens has spoken out about her traumatizing nude photo leak. That happened back in 2007.
Starting point is 00:29:11 And she was one of the first celebrities to ever have nude images leaked. And, you know, they broke into her phone and they managed to get her picture. She said, it was a really traumatizing thing for me. It's really effed up that people feel like they are entitled enough to share something that personal with the world. She said it made her completely lose all grip of her own
Starting point is 00:29:29 privacy. And she said, it's really sad. It feels like that shouldn't be the case. But unfortunately, if enough people are interested, they're going to do everything they can to get to know as much about you as they can, which is flattering, I guess. But then people take it too far and end up divulging things that should be personal. And she said, there's a disconnect when you see your favorite actors on the screen and you see them now on your TV in your homes and you can watch them whenever you want. There's almost she said, I don't want to say a lack of respect because that sounds negative, but it just makes you feel like, you know, them, even though you don't. So did any of y'all watch the Andre rising left eye doc on Lifetime? I did not. I heard that was great. Really? I didn't even know that was on.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Yeah, I saw a lot of people talking about that. It was on Lifetime. It's called Hopefully in Love. And then, you know, they're doing the Faith one. Yeah, Faith and Biggie. It's like a series of... Faith says she's mad about that, right? For some reason?
Starting point is 00:30:13 She thought it was going to be like a more documentary style. And instead, it's more salacious. It just feels weird when you hear them talking about left eye slept with Suge Knight. And I'm like, when somebody's not here to defend themselves about stuff like that, it's like, why are people having that conversation? Because people want to know. And how can you prove that? So that was like a, oh, I never heard that before.
Starting point is 00:30:35 That was a good documentary. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news next. Yes, we are going to talk about a social media model. She actually raised over three hundred thousand dollars and that was to fight Australian fires.
Starting point is 00:30:51 But that's all come to a halt. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, the Dallas Cowboys hired former Packers coach Mike McCarthy. That's their new head coach. How do you feel about that, Charlamagne? You're a Cowboys fan? Yeah, I don't feel any kind of way.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You know what I mean? I'm not happy about it. I'm not sad about it. I'm just glad that a change was made and that Jason Garrett, bumass, is no longer a part of the Dallas Cowboys organization. That is the epitome of white privilege, that a white man can be that mediocre for that long and have such a high-profile job.
Starting point is 00:31:27 So I'm just glad that he's gone. All right. Now, what else are we talking about, Yee? Well, there was a stampede today at a funeral procession for, of course, Soleimani, the top Iranian general that was killed in a U.S. airstrike last week. And in that stampede at the funeral, there were 35 people killed and 48 people injured so far.
Starting point is 00:31:45 So they're saying this is the biggest funeral ever in Iran. All right. And in Pennsylvania, you know about that fatal bus crash that happened. It was a tour bus. There were three New Yorkers that were ejected to their deaths. And according to reports, they're saying that there were no passenger seatbelts on that bus. I didn't know that buses, or I don't know if I've ever worn a seatbelt on a bus. I never wore a seatbelt on a tour bus, or, you know, not at all.
Starting point is 00:32:14 I mean, I don't even remember there's seatbelts being on a tour bus. I don't remember them having seatbelts either. No. Not even on the school bus growing up as a kid. Did they have seatbelts? I don't remember that. No, they have seatbelts now, but back in the day they didn't have seatbelts. Yeah, I don't know if that's illegal, if you're not allowed to have a bus without seatbelts on it. Because the tour buses, they have beds.
Starting point is 00:32:28 You can't seatbelt yourself in a bed. This isn't a tour bus. This is like a... Oh, you said tour bus. Yeah, well, that's what they call it. Oh. But not a tour bus like going on tour like you. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Not with artists. All right. Now, in Australia, you know, there's been these crazy, overwhelming wildfires. And a lot of people have been trying to figure out what they can do to help. One social media model raised over three hundred thousand dollars to fight Australian fires. Now, what she did, Caitlin Ward, is she actually offered to donate for everybody who donated at least ten dollars to any one of the fundraisers that she listed. She would send a new picture to their DM. So that was her offering.
Starting point is 00:33:11 She said, you must send me confirmation that you donated, and then a lot of people retweeted it, and she ended up making over $300,000 for these organizations. What's the problem? I thought that was dope. She's using what she got to get what she wanted, what she wanted, some aid for Australia. What's the problem? Her Instagram ended up getting deleted because of that.
Starting point is 00:33:26 They deactivated her account. Okay, so Instagram should match that money then. Since Instagram wants to delete people's account that is raising money for the cause, Instagram should put up that $300,000. What's the problem? I feel like Twitter is a place where you can do that because they put anything on Twitter, but Instagram has a lot more rules. But she didn't put anything naked on Instagram, right?
Starting point is 00:33:44 She just sent them a DM of a naked picture if they sent money, right? Yeah, but they're really, I feel like they're a lot more strict on Instagram than on Twitter about anything like that. Was that like soliciting or something? Soliciting prostitution? No, she's not soliciting sex. It's not prostitution. I mean, it kind of is, right? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:33:59 A naked picture is not. You're giving a naked picture for money. That has to be some type of form of prostitution. I'm not the highest grade. That's not prostitution. I didn't say it picture for money. That has to be some type of form of prostitution. I'm not the highest grade of prostitution. Listen for a second. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the
Starting point is 00:34:10 dispensary, but I would think that if you're soliciting nude photos for money, that has to be some type of form of sexual pornography. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 00:34:18 She could also say it's art, though. You know, there's a lot of pictures of naked people. Prostitution is illegal. Pornography is not. On Instagram, you can't
Starting point is 00:34:24 pornography. Pornography is not legal on Instagram it is. On Instagram, you can't pornography. Pornography's not legal on Instagram. Yeah, but she's not doing pornography on Instagram. She's not naked on Instagram. Well, she's DMing it on Instagram, so it's using Instagram as a conduit to do all those things. Well, drop on a clue, Mom, for that woman.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Twitter, you can get away with it. Okay, for raising $300,000 for a worthy cause. Did she get the money? Did the money get to Australia? Well, it went to different organizations, so people had to donate in order to get the picture. Oh, so donate directly to the organization? Yeah, directly to the organization.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So you had to send her a receipt and confirmation that you donated. Let me tell y'all something. For all of these whores that be on Instagram half-naked and naked for no goddamn reason, I'm glad that this woman was naked for a cause. Think about all the naked people you see on Instagram all the time for no reason. At least this woman was naked for a cause. I'm happy. I don't see the problem. People are bad about this?
Starting point is 00:35:10 I even hear people talking about it. I see no other news. But that's front page news. Now let's talk George Lopez when we come back. Now what happened with George Lopez? Why is he in trouble? Well, there was this erroneous report that there was a bounty on Donald Trump's head and that was for $80 million, right?
Starting point is 00:35:27 People believed that that was really true. Is that real? No. Oh. So, George Lopez said that he would do it for half that. And, of course, now they're saying he can expect a visit from Secret Service over those comments. You think? That he made, and he got a lot of backlash from that.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Yeah. Some people said, you know, he's a comedian, he's joking. But some people say he crossed the line with that joke. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's talk George Lopez. Now, he reported that they made a bounty. It wasn't a real story of $80 million.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And he said he'll do it for half that. Is that funny? Is that a joke? Is he a comedian? So he ruined his life for a fake story.? So he ruined his life for a fake story. Seriously, he complicated his life for a fake story. 800-585-1051. Is it jokes? Is it just a jokey joke? Or is this the president?
Starting point is 00:36:14 And even though we might not like the president, he's still our president. Yeah, it would be the latter, sir. All right, well, let's talk about it. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking George Lopez, comedian. What happened with George Lopez, Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking George Lopez. Comedian, what happened with George Lopez, Yee? Well, there was an erroneous report that there was an $80 million bounty for Donald Trump's head after Soleimani was killed in Iran, well, from Iran.
Starting point is 00:36:56 And George Lopez said he would do it for half. Right. So we're asking 805-85-1051. Is that just a jokey joke or did he go too far? He said it's just a joke. Let me tell you something. You can speak out against the president. You can curse the president.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But you're a damn fool if you say things like you want to kill the president or even act like you want to threaten the president. Why bring that kind of heat on yourself? For what? Threatening the president is a federal felony, okay? And if you do that, you're getting a visit from the Secret Service and an interview from the Secret Service. And in more extreme cases, your life will be in shambles for a bit.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Ask Kathy Griffin. OK, pull up her first interview here on The Breakfast Club and she can explain it to you better than I can. What is the point? Why? Why bring that kind of heat on yourself? It makes no sense. And I know a lot of us don't like Donald Trump. I know a lot of us probably hate Donald Trump, but that is still our leader.
Starting point is 00:37:43 That's still the president of the United States. So you got to be careful. You can't make threats. You can't say I'll take half. You can't say I'm a shoot. of us probably hate Donald Trump, but that is still our leader. That's still the President of the United States, so you gotta be careful. You can't make threats. You can't say I'll take half. You can't say I'm gonna shoot. You can't say I'm gonna do this, because you will get a visit, and you don't want those problems. He's our leader on paper. He's not my leader. Yeah, he is our leader. He is the leader
Starting point is 00:37:57 of the United States of America. Depending how America looks at me, okay, then he's determined he's my leader. I'm a black man. I'm not sure if it still says I'm only three-fifths of a human in the Constitution or not. Okay. So you don't know how they look at you? He might lead three-fifths of me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:11 All right. But he's still a leader. Even if it's three-fifths, he's still a leader. Not to mention, George Lopez is Mexican. Boy, you are giving him more ammunition to want to build that goddamn wall, George. Oh, my. What the hell is wrong with you? My God.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Why? And I hate when people keep bringing up this Ted Nugent thing. Ted Nugent got a visit from the Secret Service, George. What the hell is wrong with you? Why? And I hate when people keep bringing up this Ted Nugent thing. Ted Nugent got a visit from the Secret Service, too. And he was so bitter about it that he would point out every other celebrity that did something and say, this person needs to be visited. Listen to what Madonna said about Trump. And it happens. Stop messing with presidents.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Hello, who's this? Yo, what's going on, man? It's Zay from Jersey. What's going on, child? Zay, what's up, bro? Let me guess. You think it's just a joke? Me, personally, it's not even about man? Zay from Jersey. What's going on with y'all? Zay, what's up, bro? Let me guess. You think it's just a joke? Me, personally, it's not even about if it's a joke or not.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Like, my personal stance on it, I'm not going to say he's not wild. He said some wild s***. I'm sorry. He said something wild. That's crazy. But at the same time, I'm real active on, like, Facebook and Instagram. I've personally seen, um, what's Stan Rothstein's real name from casino? That's Robert De Niro, right?
Starting point is 00:39:07 Robert De Niro. Yeah, Robert De Niro. Right, so I've personally seen mad posts of him talking about some, you know, I'd love to throw a bag of s*** at Donald Trump. But that's not killing someone. Granted, but that could still be counted as like a terroristic threat, can it not? I'm not sure. I don't know about that one.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I know that, you know, if it's a threat to take to life or to kidnap or to inflict bodily harm upon the president, that's considered a threat. I don't know if a dog or doodoo
Starting point is 00:39:33 is a bodily threat. I don't know. That is a threat. It's a threat. I don't know if it's a threat of harm, though. It's going to make you stink. Jabari.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yo, yo. Yo, yo. We're talking George Lopez. What do you think about his comments? Hey, man, it's whack. When I scroll down my Facebook, my Instagram, everybody's saying the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And people even say they'll do it for free. So I don't understand why George Lopez going there and all of a sudden people mad about it. My brother, I'm going to tell y'all something. What makes y'all think all these people ain't being investigated right now? Y'all need to really go Google how many people got investigated
Starting point is 00:40:04 for making threats to President Barack Obama. All of these people that's on social media talking wild about Trump, y'all don't know if these people getting investigated or not? Nah, you right about that. Actually, my partner actually got caught up threatening the police on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:40:15 He jammed up for that. See? Okay. Well, and that's just the police. Imagine the president. What's up with y'all, man? Goodness gracious. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:24 800-585-1051. We're talking George Lopez. Imagine the president. What's up with y'all, man? Goodness gracious. All right. 800-585-1051. We're talking George Lopez. He made a joke about the president. What was the joke again, Yee? There was an alleged bounty of $80 million for Donald Trump's head, and he said that he would do it for half. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:39 People are not taking that too serious. They're not taking it too funny in some places. People feel like he should get arrested. Huh? Some conservatives think he should get arrested. Well, what do you think? 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:40:47 DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. If you just joined us, we're talking about George Lopez. Now, what was his comments? What did George Lopez do, Yee? There was an erroneous report that there was an $80 million bounty for Donald Trump's head, and George Lopez said he would do it for half.
Starting point is 00:41:04 All right. So we're asking, what do you think about his comments? 800-585-1051. I think he's bugging. He's crazy. Sometimes you just could have left that joke in the crib. Who's this? Gwen. Hey, Gwen.
Starting point is 00:41:16 What do you think about George Lopez's comment? Good morning. I feel like he's a comedian, and they should just leave him alone to get the pass, Envy. No, you can't make a joke about the murder of somebody just like you can't make a joke about raping a specific
Starting point is 00:41:34 woman or kidnapping a specific child. This is the President of the United States of America. They do that all the time, Charlamagne. Any of our little comedy clubs we go to, it don't gotta be on the broad spectrum. It could be just a small comedy club. They make these jokes
Starting point is 00:41:49 every day, Charlamagne. Well, guess what? That's why in the comedy club, they take people's phones away, and the comedy club's supposed to be a safe space. Alright, you got that one. Exactly. Okay, boo. You're right. Alright. Okay, boo. Okay. Hello, who's this? Hello, my name is Caprice.
Starting point is 00:42:05 What's up, Caprice? Good morning. What do you think about George Lopez's comments? Good morning. I 100% agree with George Lopez's comments. And I also feel that there's a vast percentage of Americans that also agree with George Lopez's comments. I believe that because Trump is in the business of making examples of people and countries and, you know, because he likes the high drama, of course he's going to send the CIA
Starting point is 00:42:29 to his place knowing that he's not really the one. Secret service. Secret service, yeah. His place, knowing that he's not really, you know, he ain't really about that. Like, George Lopez isn't going to do anything to him. We all know that. So what you're telling me is
Starting point is 00:42:43 you would kill the president for $40 million is what you're telling me? I'm telling you that I would give up everything I knew about him for $10. What's your name? What's your address?
Starting point is 00:42:53 What's your name and address? Y'all rolling. No, what's your name and address? I'm about to 6'9 you. I can't be a part of this. I cannot be a part of any conspiracies to kill the president
Starting point is 00:43:03 of the United States of America. Okay? Hello. Hey, how you doing? What's your name? I'm telling them I part of this. I cannot be a part of any conspiracies to kill the president of the United States of America. Okay. Hello. Hey, how you doing? What's your name? Hey, Tiara. Hey, Tiara. Hey, Tiara.
Starting point is 00:43:12 From Baltimore. How are you? What do you think about George Lopez's comments? I think he was completely right. We don't want Trump as is. We don't want him as is. Take care of him. Would you write that on social media
Starting point is 00:43:26 that you would get him assassinated? No, no, no. Now, I ain't say I would write that. But you might like somebody's comment. I don't need nobody following me around, okay? That man is wrong. Listen. And that's the whole point. If you don't want somebody following you around...
Starting point is 00:43:44 Oh, I'm sorry. That's my daughter. Tell her we said good morning. Hey, boo. We was literally been calling for like 30 minutes because I had some things to get off my chest and it was really important. Can I please tell y'all? Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Get off your chest. Okay. So we really, this culture of telling girls that, like little girls, that it's okay for a boy to be mean to them because they like them, that really has to stop. Right. Like, we really need to start talking to our sons
Starting point is 00:44:11 and boys about what is appropriate and what's not appropriate to say to little girls because we carry that stuff for the rest of our lives. Whether it's anything about body weight or about how they look, their hair, these edges, this thing with edges going on. It's ridiculous. My child is only in the fifth grade and she's over here talking about her edges.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Her edges have to be laid. What? She get that from her mama. She ain't, don't blame that on them little boys. She get that from you. No, it's not. I got natural hair and I cut my hair completely off. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah. You're right though. Little girl shouldn't be tight. He's mean. That got natural hair, and I cut my hair completely off. Oh, okay. Yeah. You're right, though. Little girl shouldn't be taught he's mean. That means he likes you. Exactly. Like, that is teaching them a school of... Hello? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Well, Envy, you must like her, because you just hung up on her. Somebody don't like her phone. All right, what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is, why do we keep falling for fake news? Like, when are we going to stop spreading fake news stories via social media? We are no better than Trump. We do this all the time. When I saw this story,
Starting point is 00:45:11 I Googled it and I couldn't find one reputable site that said, yes, there's an $80 million bounty. There was no video about it, no nothing. How do we know this stuff is real? And they thought it was true. Why do we latch on to these things? Why? Why are we such lazy
Starting point is 00:45:27 learners that we don't really get to the root of these sources to know if they're real or not? It doesn't necessarily sound ridiculous. Come on, $80 million. They put a bounty. That sounds ridiculous. No, it don't sound ridiculous to me. It didn't sound ridiculous. I read you just killed the second in command and they allegedly want revenge.
Starting point is 00:45:43 That doesn't sound ridiculous to me. I read a whole story about how they asked everybody at the funeral for a dollar. I heard that one. But I didn't know what this site was. So I was like, that wasn't something I was going to repeat. But everybody just runs with it. I just asked you. Who's doing real research anymore? Who?
Starting point is 00:45:57 All right. Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and we got to give a big congratulations to one of our friends on The Breakfast Club who just got a brand new job. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep one of our friends on The Breakfast Club who just got a brand new job. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Happy New Year. Listen, y'all really got to stop falling for fake social media stories in the new year. That last topic of discussion we just had really had me thinking about that. I'm telling you, it's going to be some Orson Welles, War of the Worlds type stuff that happens because somebody just fell for some fake social media news story.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Y'all know what Orson Welles' War of the Worlds was, right? No, I don't. When the guy got on the radio and told everybody it was a Martian attack and people were wiling out and killing themselves. Yes, man. Something like that is going to happen via social media because people don't know what's real and what's not real no more. Did you see Tom Hanks' son?
Starting point is 00:46:47 Chet Perry. Yes. Did you see what he was doing? I mean, what's his name? Chet Hanks. Chet Hanks. With his Jamaican accent? It's better than yours.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Way better than yours. Is it better than Drake's though? Is it better than Safaree's? That's what y'all need to be worrying about. Ask those type of questions. I really enjoyed him. Don't ask if it's better than Sean's. They were pretty good though.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I ain't going to front. If you close your eyes... No. No? This is amusing, and nobody really knows why this is happening. Chet Hanks been wilding like this.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Why y'all acting like this is new? Y'all just started hearing about Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks' son. Tom Hanks' son used to rap. Like, this isn't new. He used to speak Patois all the time? I think he's even got
Starting point is 00:47:23 like a black baby mom or something like that. What's wrong with y'all? I've never heard him speak in Patois before. This is the first time I've heard that used to speak Patois all the time? I think he's even got like a black baby mom or something like that. What's wrong, Chad? I've never heard him speak in Patois before. This is the first time I've heard that. So whose Patois is better, though? Drake, Safari, or Chad Hicks? I haven't heard Chad Hicks, by the way.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Do y'all have any audio? Do we have audio? No, we don't have audio. Of course not. Well, Envy just jumped in and did that. I was going to do it in rumors. It was a thing that was all over the place. Well, if it was that good, it should have been in the system already.
Starting point is 00:47:41 That's what I'm saying. It was all over the place yesterday. I thought we would have that in there. Great. Well, Happy New Year. Alright, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to talk about a good friend of ours who got a new job. She is joining The Real. Okay. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?
Starting point is 00:48:24 My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with the black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

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.
Starting point is 00:50:29 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 the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

What are you feeling right does it feel to be in the chair? I'm tripping right now. Keep talking. What are you feeling right now? What's going through the mind? Like, tell us emotions. Tell us everything.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I didn't expect to cry. I'm a G. Let me tell you something, man. Nobody can stop the destiny God has planned for you, especially a bunch of digital D-heads on social media. As many times as people try to cancel Amanda, let this be an example to you that none of those people matter because if people are talking bad about you or people are talking good about you, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:52:09 They are talking. And if there's one thing Amanda knows how to do, it's how to get people talking. That's right. She is perfect for The Real. Congratulations to Amanda. This is the first time that The Real has had five permanent hosts since Tamar Braxton back in 2016.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And also shout out to her. She paid off her mother's mortgage yesterday on her mother's house. Oh, no, no, no. She been did that. That was an old video. Oh, I just seen that. Oh, yeah. Amanda been.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Listen, let's not get it twisted. I just seen the video yesterday. Amanda been getting money from the ground up when she started the Smart, Funny, and Black and her comedy shows. Like, all of this, all the InstaKill and all of that other stuff is extra. She said that was for the new year, I thought. No, no. She reposted that video as motivation for the new year.
Starting point is 00:52:41 But she been paid off. Well, shout out to her for that still. That's still dope. Yeah. Shout her out. Paid off that still. That's still dope. Yeah, she paid off Mama. Shout her out. Paid off Mama Nettie's mortgage already. Now, Lady Gaga was on with Oprah,
Starting point is 00:52:50 and she opened up to her in an interview. You know, Oprah's doing their 2020 Vision Your Life in Focus tour. They were in Fort Lauderdale, and she talked about actually why she wants to help get rid of the stigma around being on medication. Medicine really helped me. And I think a lot of people are afraid of medicine for their brains to help them.
Starting point is 00:53:13 And I really want to just erase the stigma around this. I have radically accepted I have mental health issues. I take a lot of medication to stay on board. And I'm a survivor and I'm living and I'm thriving. All right. In addition to that, she talked about having to have a psychotic break. I had a psychotic break. I'll explain what happened. happened okay i was triggered really badly uh in a court deposition and i just like this this part of the brain where you stay centered and you don't disassociate right it went like this it slammed down and my whole body started tingling and i started screaming were you? I was in a hospital.
Starting point is 00:54:10 In addition to that, she did again discuss being raped repeatedly at the age of 19. She said she didn't have a therapist. She had nobody to help her. And she said she just all of a sudden became a star and was traveling the world. And she never even dealt with it. So she does have her foundation that deals with mental health, the Born This Way Foundation. They've already helped put mental health first aid in schools across the country. And she wants to make sure she gets that help in every school that she can. She says, I want mental health to be its own class.
Starting point is 00:54:34 What is health class? Sex ed? Is that what we're still doing? We should be learning about the brain and the heart and the mind and the body and its connection and all the things. So she's been doing that work. She's absolutely right. I personally don't have to take medication for my anxiety and bouts of depression,
Starting point is 00:54:47 but I do know some people who do. Just make sure you're getting diagnosed correctly and using the correct dosage if you need it. But don't just jump to medication. Sit down and talk with a professional and see if you need it. All right, now, and after the interview, Oprah did end up consoling Lady Gaga.
Starting point is 00:55:02 You were so amazing. You were so good. You were so amazing. You were so good. You were so vulnerable. You were so truthful. You were so real. I couldn't even believe you were doing that. Thank you for doing that for me. Of course I was.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Thank you for doing that. That's what happens when you're in the presence of an angel. All right, so you can see that full interview on Wednesday, tomorrow. You know what? It's a book I want to tell people to pre-order, too, man. It's by a woman named Rita Walker. I read it when I was on vacation.
Starting point is 00:55:33 It's not even out yet. It's called The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. When I tell you this book is a game-changer and it's amazing, it's a game-changer and it's amazing. I can't wait to have Rita on The Breakfast Club to talk about it. All right, and other good news, Victor Cruz. He is the third co-host of e's pop of the morning here is his announcement as you guys know i've been transitioning from football doing some things in the sports space but now i'm getting ready to embark on a new journey with e entertainment
Starting point is 00:55:59 on a show called pop of the morning 11 a.m to 12 p.m. every single weekday. Make sure you tune in. I'll be up there with good people like Liliana Vasquez, my guy Scott Tweedy. Well, congratulations to Victor Cruz, man. It's a good deal. He's been working. He's been doing this work. He was an analyst for ESPN also. They had their first episode where Shaq was the guest on the show.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Very hard to root for a former New York Giant. Nah, Victor Cruz is a good guy. I wanted to say salute to him and drop him a salute to him. He's not a Giant anymore. He is a good guy. It's just very hard to congratulate him on any of his endeavors because it feels like I'm congratulating the New York Giant. You are. He's always a Giant. Well, that's exactly why he won't get any
Starting point is 00:56:37 congratulatories from me. And since we just mentioned Shaquille O'Neal as the first guest on that show, something crazy happened in New York City yesterday. Shaq? Yeah, they said he was driving through the East Village and he noticed a woman was passed out on the ground. That's when he hopped out of his car and there was a few other people around as well.
Starting point is 00:56:55 They actually stopped traffic and they waited with her until an ambulance arrived. They said the woman may have been diabetic and ended up fainting in the crosswalk. So Shaq was there to save the day. Shout out to Shaq. I'm going the day. Shout out to Shaq. I'm going to include Fonz for Shaq, man. This guy lives a life, though. He does. Who the hell do you really think he's Superman?
Starting point is 00:57:10 He does. This guy. He is. Jesus. Shout out to Shaq. So, yeah, shout out to him. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. It's topic time.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to 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. Good morning. Now, today is National Pass Gas Day. We're just having some fun with it.
Starting point is 00:57:42 So we're asking 800--85-1051. Do you have an embarrassing or crazy passing gas or farting story? Now, our board out, Dramos, he just said when he first started working here, he let one loose and it was horribly. It smelled... Let Dramos tell his own story. Put the mic on his beard.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Okay. There you go. It was like my first week working with you guys and you know, my stomach was a little upset. You trying to make a good impression? I was trying to, yeah, so I farted, and I was hoping nobody noticed, but then, of course, somebody made a comment about it, and you guys were on the air,
Starting point is 00:58:11 you blamed our other producer, Eddie, for it, and, you know, I was too new. Why didn't you come clean? I was new, you know what I'm saying? I wanted to have a bad impression my first week here, so. So now you're a liar. Eddie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Now, what about, well, we just heard about Charlemagne's story, him and Curry at the stoplight. Well, listen, here's the thing. I don't have these problems with embarrassing fart stories because I don't fart in my clothes. And the reason I don't fart in my clothes is because the last time I farted in my clothes was around 2003, 2004. This was when I was living in Columbia, South Carolina, working at Hot 1039. My now wife was going to the University of South Carolina. The night before, I went to this Jamaican spot called Cool Runnings.
Starting point is 00:58:46 I was dropping her off at her dorm and I wanted to run upstairs and use her bathroom. But I could tell it was going to be like one of those really embarrassing, like nasty, disgusting, blow up the bathroom type things. So I tried to make it back home and I got to the light and I was like, I'm going to fart a little bit just to ease off the pressure, ease the tension off the stomach. And when I let that little fart out, I felt some warmness and like some liquidy stuff going down like the back of my leg and my cheeks. And that wasn't a little. That was a lot. So at that point, I had on some Peco jeans. I think it was called Paco. Paco.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Remember Paco jeans? I had on some Paco jeans. And at that point, I was just like, let it rip. And so as I kept farting, it just kept coming out nice, warm, and runny. And then I pulled up to my apartment complex. All of my cars used to drive a little gray Honda Civic. And I pulled up to the apartment complex, and I'm like, yo, I hope my next-door neighbor Val is not outside
Starting point is 00:59:33 because her and her friends would be outside because, like, I'm disgusting right now. So I ran upstairs. She wasn't there. My Paco jeans were destroyed. And I actually threw the underwear away but took my Paco jeans to the cleaners, but was too embarrassed to go back for them. Getting nasty. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:49 What about you, Yee? I farted in my sleep before, and I only know that because my boyfriend told me. I do that all the time. Oh, okay. So, yeah, that's kind of embarrassing. And then there's times when I've had to really struggle to hold it in during times that, you know, it's a really bad time to fart. Yeah. You know what? I'm the king of getting in the elevator farting and then not thinking nobody else is going to come, hold it in during times that, you know, it's a really bad time to fart.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Yeah. You know what? I'm the king of getting in the elevator farting and then not thinking nobody else is going to come. And then the elevator stops on another floor and they walk in. And I always got to be like, woo, I don't know who did this before I got in there. Well, another reason I don't fart around people, because I tell people all the time, farting is a form of flirting. So if you're a man who likes to fart around another man,
Starting point is 01:00:25 like you're really sending off signals. Like those are like male pheromones. Men got pheromones, right? So those are ass pheromones. Those are pheromones from your ass. Basically, you just don't, if you don't want another man to think you're flirting with him,
Starting point is 01:00:38 don't fart around him. Because the truth to the matter is, why would you want another man to know what your ass smell like? And the worst is when you don't know. Sounds like an invite to me. When you're about to fart and you don't know it and you go to pee and a significant other is in the bed and they hear you fart while you pee.
Starting point is 01:00:51 What about when you sneeze and fart at the same time, but you don't know if people heard the fart? I do that as well. So you don't say nothing? You don't say nothing, just keep it quiet. Because the sneeze is so loud, but the fart sounds just as loud, so you just don't say nothing? Janae.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Hi, guys. Oh, my God. I can't believe I made it through. Where you been farting at, huh? Well, it's actually not me. I witnessed a fart. So my husband and I and a group of friends went to the African American Museum in Washington, D.C. And it was really quiet.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Everyone was taking it in. And this old white guy, he farted so loudly and tried to play it off like it wasn't him. Now, how old is he now? He had to have been like 70. He can't control that. You got to let a 70-year-old man fart when he wants to fart, man. He's earning the right. He played it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It's just the context that we were in. We're in an African-American museum. You're an old white guy, and you're just going to fart while everybody's just trying to take in this He ain't doing no purpose. You niggas was making him nervous. He's 70 years old in an African-American museum. His granddaddy killed some of those people y'all was looking at. Come on
Starting point is 01:01:56 now. 805- I have no sympathy for nobody. We're talking fart stories. I'm scared to sleep on a plane sometimes because I know when I sleep on a plane, I know I like that plane up. Yeah, I can attest that you have. See? 800-585-1051. We're talking embarrassing fart stories. Today is National

So, yeah, look, I was in a club one night, and the club was letting out, and we was in line to get our toast. I had gas bad as hell, and I'm a toad in it. I was trying to be, you know, cordial or whatever,

And I had to let it go. When I let it go, I tried to play it off and turn around like, man, where the hell that came from? When I tell you, they was looking at me so crazy. Like, I knew it was no black ass. Like, we knew it was no black ass.
Starting point is 01:02:59 I just was like, you know, like, I tried to play it off, but it funked the club up. I really got two stories. I met Yee in Detroit like a few weeks ago. You farted with Yee in Detroit? Oh, my gosh. Listen. Man, listen.

All right, what's your crazy fart story?
Starting point is 01:03:31 Yes, I work in a place with about maybe like five, six people at a time helping customers. And my coworker is a vegetarian. And as soon as he has lunch, it's over. Like the rest of the day, he's just passing gas. And he's the boss's son, so we can't even say anything about it. And that's why you're in the office. I ain't gonna lie. Them plant-based poots be smelling stink.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Yes. And then he cooks his own food, so it makes it even worse. Goodness gracious. He cooks his own food. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Jay Carter from Hampton, man. Good to see you. What up, what up?
Starting point is 01:04:03 757, what's going on? We're having your most embarrassing fart stories. You got one? Man, yeah, man. My old lady, man, she can't stand when I'm out here in public, man. Like, man, we went holiday shopping. We're in the store. We're in the shoe store.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Like, why stop in public? We just had some Chinese food. So I let her style it until now. Then the other one just came right behind us. Right, right, right. As soon as we get to the counter, she like, why the f*** would you do that? Like, stop the whole transaction. I mean, you know, I was mad as f***.
Starting point is 01:04:31 They had the shoe size and everything. Then they didn't have their straight shoulder, though. She just went to the car. When we got to the car, it was World War III. I mean, you could see the man expressing, but she was looking like, I don't know, damn. I didn't just come up here and do that, yo. Man, it was so embarrassing, man. She was so, she just but it was looking like, I don't know, damn. I didn't just come up here and do that, yo. Man, it was so embarrassing, man. She was so, she just, she was terrified, yo.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I couldn't do nothing about it. I don't feel sorry for none of y'all because I think all of y'all are terrorists. First of all, you fart in your clothes. And when you fart in front of people or on people, especially in enclosed places, you need to be arrested. We need to treat, like, especially farting on a plane, we need to treat that the way we treat people who threaten the president. But for some reason, when you go up on that plane, something with the air
Starting point is 01:05:10 and whatever, it makes you want to fart. No, that's just you, sir. It makes you want to fart? Yes. It's probably what you eat before you get on the plane. No.
Starting point is 01:05:18 When you get on the plane, it gives you more gas? No. I've never felt like that. I got gas right now. We believe you. No, bro. You're a very gassy person.
Starting point is 01:05:25 I ain't flirting with y'all. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey. Hey, we're talking about embarrassing fall stories. Yeah, so one night I was getting my son ready for bed, reading him a little story. And tried to slide one out real silent. Came out a little louder than anticipated.
Starting point is 01:05:42 And I said, ooh, mommy's sorry. He said, what was that? I said, mommy's sorry. She said, what was that? I said, mommy farted. It's okay. She said, with sheer disappointment on his face, mommy farted? I said, yeah. You know what? Same thing comes out of me as it comes out of you.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Uh-oh. That's not true. I wouldn't say that to him. It's going to be that time of month one day and he might see a little bit more than he needs to see. And you can't say what comes out of mommy comes out of you. Out of
Starting point is 01:06:13 my butt. How's that? He's going to tell everybody at school. That's right. If one day you wake up and your son's butt is bleeding, you better call goddamn Dreyfuss. You go too far. Hello, who's this? Kobe. Kobe, we're talking about your embarrassing fart stories. One time I was eating this girl's box from the back. And I heard a sound that sounded similar to a fart.
Starting point is 01:06:36 She claimed that she queefed. Yeah, that could be a queef. Or getting farted on your nose or queefed on your tongue. Did you smell it? The room smelled like weed, so I really didn't even notice. You know what, man? If you didn't smell it, it was or queefed on your tongue. Did you smell it? The room smelled like weed, so I really didn't even notice. You know what, man? You know what?
Starting point is 01:06:47 If you didn't smell it, it was a queef. A lot of women are a member of a tribe called queef. I don't see anything wrong with that. Don't shame her for queefing.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yeah, queefing happens. I didn't shame her. She just finished up and it was a night as usual. What did it sound like? What did it sound like? It was kind of juicy. Let me do the sound. Did you stop or did you
Starting point is 01:07:12 stay down there? I think you got a flat tire, bro. Yo, you might want to pull over. I think you got a flat. Yo, somebody call AAA for the homie, yo. Goodbye. Yo. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is when someone sneezes, you say, God bless you.
Starting point is 01:07:29 When someone farts, what do you say? I'm asking for a friend. I don't know. I don't know. Because I just feel like you should say something. If you hear a fart out loud, you can't act like you didn't hear it, right? You should say, excuse you. Excuse you.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Excuse you. Excuse you, you nasty piece of shit. Goodness gracious. Excuse you. We got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, get ready for Sunday's service to go global. We'll talk about Kanye. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Kanye released an album, too. Did anybody hear it? A gospel album. Y'all heard it? No. You put out an album? I think you did. Jesus King.
Starting point is 01:07:58 No, it's another one. Another one? Another one? Yeah. Anyway, rumors on the way. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, hey. Morning, rumors on the way. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Yes. All right. Get y'all. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to baby.
Starting point is 01:08:18 It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, right now DaBaby is on Twitter, and he has some things to say about social media.
Starting point is 01:08:34 About an hour ago, he said, if social media wasn't such a lucrative tool in the business I'm in, I wouldn't even be on it. Lost souls influenced by lost souls. I hate to see it. I encourage people to have the courage to find themselves without the false sense of security they search for on the internet. He said, I always prefer to say less because social media ain't a place for the truth, but lately I've been feeling like it's my calling to
Starting point is 01:08:53 say more. I don't know how I want to play it, though. I respect my mind too much to allow myself to be identified as one of these internet MFers. And he said, I'm like that for real. The internet's so lost, they think if N-Ware says something with substance, he's sad.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Bitch, I'm good. God just moved me to send out a message this morning. Don't send pity where it isn't needed. Just soak up the game for what it's worth.
Starting point is 01:09:14 It may not be worth nothing at all. Yeah, I mean, listen, when it comes to social media, just don't read other people's comments. You know, read comments from people you know.
Starting point is 01:09:21 And if you post something, it doesn't matter what people think about it. Just say it and keep it moving. It'll inspire who it's supposed to inspire. Absolutely. Then he said, let me go back to seeing Les before I scare MFers away. So that is what the baby's getting off his chest right now.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Now let's talk about Chet Hanks. That's Tom Hanks' son. Now he was at the Golden Globes, and they've been doing a lot of detective work trying to figure out when did Chet Hanks start speaking Pasoa? They said they've never heard him do this before. Now he did put out a rap song previously back in 2015, I think. Was it a Jamaican song? No.
Starting point is 01:09:53 It was a hip hop song. Oh. And he also did use the N word in a video and at the time he said he uses that in real life amongst his black friends who get me and can't nobody tell me I can't say with the F. I feel like no disrespect to the struggle of black people during the civil rights movement. But it's 2015 now.
Starting point is 01:10:10 This is back in 2015. He said that. Well, he posted this and Sandra Dean, who does my makeup. She's Jamaican. I just need her to read this for me so I don't say it wrong. All right. So Sandra Dean, what's going on? You got to say in the mic.
Starting point is 01:10:24 In the mic. the mic Not standing anywhere Alright so read the first one Big up What the Oh so this isn't real Patswa Big up Femiwola Family soon come at the awards Nah see
Starting point is 01:10:38 Tune in Why can't we hear it Jamaican people not talk like that virgin Make a big of a stop to them things there. All right, well, here's what he said along with his post. Big up, big up the whole island. Massive, it's your boy Chattanooga. Coming straight from the Golden Globes, your words here.
Starting point is 01:10:56 We've seen it for the time. I'm expressing an award. Soon forward come. Big up. Tune in. I love it. Dropping the Clues Bonds for Champagne Chaz. He's not better than Drake.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Champagne Chaz. Mine don't care. Mine don't stop. Mine is the sun not far as Gump. How do you sound? Good? You sound good? All right.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Now, when asked what was going on and he set the whole social media on fire because people were like, what is happening? He responded to everybody's confusion. Big up the youth and we are the king of time. We wake up this morning and we see the thing. Big up the youth, them way out the king's time. You wake up this morning and you see the thing, you turn up. Internet gone mad.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Respect, you don't know. The sun's far with the yard. Booyaka, booyaka. Dropping the clothes bombs for the double down. Booyaka. I love the double down from Champagne Chess.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Mine don't care, mine don't scream. Mine is the son of the Castaway. Shonen. the double down from Champagne Chess. Mine don't care. Mine don't scream. Mine is the son of the Castaway. Tune in. O-H-I-S. Champagne Chess. Booyaka, booyaka. All right, Chet.
Starting point is 01:11:53 All right. Now, Shaquille O'Neal, he was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and he was asked about who would win a two-on-two game if it was he, he was with Kobe Bryant
Starting point is 01:12:03 against LeBron and Anthony Davis at their prime, right? So if it was a two-on-two game if it was he he was with kobe bryant against lebron and anthony davis at their prime right so if it was a 2-on-2 kobe bryant and shaq versus lebron and anthony davis here's what he said in your prime do you think you could beat lebron and ad you and kobe do i think or do i know i like having these conversations because of course they can never be answered but uh yes the answer is yes hell yes i think shaq and kobe could be brawn and ad because the answer is yes. Hell yes. I think Shaq and Kobe could beat Braun and Eddie. He said because the question is who's going to guard him, he said. Well, the old head in me says Shaq and Kobe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:31 You know what I mean? Shaq got the weight. But if I'm using logistics, I'm using logic, I'll have to go LeBron and Anthony Davis because Anthony Davis plays on the outside. He can shoot three-pointers. Like, it would be very hard for Shaq to keep up with Anthony Davis. Shaq could back his ass down every time.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Why would Anthony Davis let that happen when he can just take him off the dribble and shoot three-pointers from the outside? Why would he play the postgame with Shaq? Yeah, but when Shaq plays offense, he'll back him down and dunk him every time. Shaq said, no one can guard me. That's probably true in the paint, but I don't even think... If they play back
Starting point is 01:12:57 and... You know how I used to play where you get the ball back if you score? They might not get the ball back. Anthony LeBron might keep the ball. They might keep scoring Alright now here's an exclusive from allhiphop.com Antonio Brown is going to be Launching his own record label And he's looking to sign some artists
Starting point is 01:13:13 In early 2020 so that's right now And if you're an aspiring artist And you want to sign to Antonio Brown I guess that's a possibility Now here's a snippet in case you need to be reminded. He has a video for this as well. The song, Whole Lotta Money.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Whole lotta money I got a whole lotta money Whole lotta money You can't hold nothin' for me Crazy what that money do It'll change the people That we hope under you Rearrange some things I had to humble you
Starting point is 01:13:46 You looking strange to me I waited to run with you I got diamonds on me Did the dash with my homie They be spazzing on me Pass the crown to the homie I be sly and lonely Can't get caught slipping on me, homie
Starting point is 01:13:59 Had to make it home Can't get left by my lonely Got a whole lot of money Sounds like everything else I hear in the mix show on the radio nowadays. He not playing football no more? Clearly not. Well, he said many people don't know my story. A lot of people don't know I got shot in Liberty City.
Starting point is 01:14:13 They don't know my struggles or my past. The media controls the story and music allows me to write out a narrative. So that's his plans for the future. He's doing this label. He said the label plans are to grow as a business and continue to put out great content for the culture. All right. Kanye is planning for a Sunday service to go global. That's the plans for 2020. He wants to go ahead and bring his gospel movement to Europe and Africa to start. So that's his sole focus in the new year. He wants to bring the word of God to people via Sunday service. As y'all know, he put out that Jesus
Starting point is 01:14:45 is Born gospel album that was right around Christmas time and he's been doing these Sunday shows weekly and he's going to be doing at Yankee Stadium in May with his choir with Joel Osteen and so he's going to be doing those unexpected locations. If you guys recall, he popped up at Skid Row
Starting point is 01:15:02 and did it there. So that is Kanye's 2020 vision board. Okay. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. I want to hear the A$AP Rocky story. Oh, A$AP Rocky. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:13 All right. Well, A$AP Rocky recently did an interview with Kerwin Frost, and he talked about a lot of different things. Like when he was locked up in Sweden, he said Meek Mill is actually who supported him. I was talking to Meek. I was talking to a couple people, and they just was like, you know, yo, bro, it go to show that, you know, it can happen to anybody. And that whole experience, more so than ever,
Starting point is 01:15:33 it kind of just, you know, had me in jail thinking, like, was I wrong? Damn, maybe it is my fault. Like, you being in solitary confinement so long, no windows and nothing. Did you have lights? You could have lights. You could have lights. You could put lights on. But it was daytime, 22 hours of the day. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:15:51 I wish I could have slept all day. You got to really stick it through that shit, like on some mental institution shit. Who did the interview? Kerwin Frost. I want to hear that. All right. In addition to that, he talks about the Black Lives Matter movement. And a lot of people were critical when he got locked up because they feel like he wasn't actually the type of person who spoke up for black people or Black Lives Matter and even brought up the Breakfast Club interview he had.
Starting point is 01:16:15 I'm on the news and then I'm speaking back to people and they like, yo, you know, the states, everybody going crazy, the president. And then you got people, you know, black Twitter. They brung up some s*** that you said, and la, la, la, like, saying you don't really care about the hood and s*** like that, you know, and I thought I addressed that before in the past, and just to be in jail, hearing people still trying to stir up some weird s***, then having a s***,
Starting point is 01:16:37 then I'm hearing, like, yo, Charlamagne came to your defense. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? The person who would advocate with this, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, he literally was just like, yo, y'all gotta have a mind of y'all own sometimes, You know what I'm saying? The person who would advocate You know what I'm saying? He literally was just like Yo, y'all gotta have a mind of y'all own sometimes Y'all gotta stop trying to perpetuate whack fake
Starting point is 01:16:50 I didn't say it quite like that He got it Actually what I said was You just can't pick and choose When you stand against injustice Right is right, wrong is wrong It can't be based off who you like I don't care what ASAP did or said in the past
Starting point is 01:17:03 An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, period. And you can't be a selective social justice warrior because it's not about you. It's about the issue. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow.
