Now when we come back, 800-585-1051, let's open up the phone lines. Now, Jemele Hill went viral earlier this week. That's because she don't wash her towels. Whoa. Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Whoa, Jemele. That's how bad information gets passed around. I've been standing up for you this entire show, and now you just blatantly disrespecting me.

What was the context? Why'd you go viral? Okay, the context was this. Me and my publicist,ianca shelton who you know charlamagne knows we were having a discussion about how often you change your towels and bianca informed me that she changes her towels every day terrorist behavior i agree i was like that's that's the work of communists like what are you doing what and um you know it got me to thinking and so i posed the question on twitter like how often you doing what and um you know it got me to thinking and so i posed the

question on twitter like how often you guys change your towels and i was i shouldn't have been stunned but i was amazed that it was so many trifling responses like i'm a every three or four days kind of person and it's usually my husband that does it um but that's a lot of people out here living foul like some of some of your people here they've, they have unveiled their towel behavior. Well, let's talk about it when we come back. 800-585-1051. When do you wash your towels? Yeah, producer said he washes it every two weeks. No, no, we got one worse than that.

One of our producers said he washes it when it smells. That's disgusting. And I didn't like that. I want to know what producer that was. I will talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I morning. The Breakfast Club.

I don't change my towel. So my wife takes a shower. That's a lot. And I use my wife's towel. All that just for men you be using in Beijing and all that. Like, I know you got to change your towel more than once a week. I use my wife's towel when she's done. And then every day she gets a new towel.

And I use her towels every day. Huh? Why would you use your wife's towels every day? Because usually my wife's towel is the one that and then every day she gets a new towel and i use her towels every day huh why would you use your wife's towels every day because usually my wife's towel is the one that's hanging up on the shower and i just take it and i dry off that's so they share they share towels they share i should well she doesn't share with me i share her towel when she gets a new one yeah okay yeah do you change yours jamal uh every three to four days and it's usually my husband that he's the one who does it uh typically and so like it's funny he said that about sharing towels because another couple that i know uh they do the same thing and you know uh i was just like that's so odd to share the same towel i don't know i was like i thought the comfort level was there because they're both lesbians right so like they i was like oh is it

because y'all both women is that what it is and she was like no we've just been sharing towels it's just easier i just don't see the. Like, what's the point of sharing towels? It's two of y'all. Y'all can have two towels hanging up on the rack. Yeah, we don't take showers at the same time all the time. So she takes a shower. And then, you know, a couple hours later, towel's dry. I use her shower.

I mean, I use her towel. But you have your own towel. And so that means the towel never gets dried. Oh, yeah. That's true, too. The towel's always damp. But that's why she gets a new towel. Because she don't like to use my towel.

But I use her towel. I think this is a way, that's kind of like a sneaky backdoor way of you changing your towel every day. Pretty much. Basically, right? You should have seen how his eyes lit up when you said sneaky backdoor. He didn't know where you was going with it, Jamal. Free envy. Free envy.

Free envy. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? DJ Hitler from Detroit. I know you change your towel once a month. You ain't no do my Detroit people like that. I'm just saying. DJ Hitler from Detroit. Once a month.

Nah, nah, nah. It's not about me. I know I got a friend. They believe that you shouldn't use soap when you wash your towel. That's a deceitful purpose. They just use hot water. I'm so confused. I say five every week and a half, give or take.

Give or take? Give or take. That's a broad definition, bro. That means what he remembers. Let the record show he's from Detroit. Jamal. Jamal and the wife. Is he an East Sider or a West Sider?

You an East Sider or a West Sider? Oh, he's going? Okay. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Kia. Good morning. It's Chalamet and DJ Envy in Jamel. Good morning.

Hey, what's going on? How often do you change your towel, mama? Well, once every week is good enough for me. So on Sundays, I wash all my towels and all my bed sheets. Okay. That sounds about right. That sounds about right. I think once a week is the accurate answer.

Yeah, that's the accurate number. Yeah, that's the accurate number. Yeah, that's what my mama used to do. Every Sunday, she would wash towels and the sheets every Sunday. But that's another important question. Like, how often do you change your sheets? Once a week? No, those get changed a lot because I'm a night sweater. So my wife definitely changes her sheets a lot.

But boy, she just got some night sweat sheets. Some type of sweat-resistant sheets. I got those. Those are amazing. I'm going to need to plug on that one. No, you can pour water on it, and it's gone. Oh, it's incredible. Those are incredible.

I didn't try that, but yeah. I don't know what the name brand is. Let me ask her. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Al. Hey, Al, take us off Bluetooth for speaking, please. Yeah, you're not on Bluetooth. Thank you.

Good morning, Breakfast Club. I love you guys. Good morning funny so i think every four to five days six days is okay because not everybody this might sound like an excuse but not everybody might have a washer and a dryer in their apartment true that's a good point during the week yeah but you shouldn't just have one towel, though. You should have at least two towels, three towels. You don't just have one towel.

I know you ain't talking. Yeah, no, you should definitely. First of all, don't let Envy talk to you like that when he using his wife's towel when he ain't got to. Y'all got one towel in the house. I don't like the music.

Because we don't need towels. No, you should have at least three towels in the house. You should. But after that, you know, but no, I agree. I like your point

about the Washington Drive. That does. That's like, in college, you know, I can't say I was every three to four days. I was probably like

once a week, you know, maybe even a week and a half because in college you broke and you don't have that many towels. Yeah, I ain't go

in front of college and might have went two weeks. I think I do two weeks now. That's disgusting. As a grown ass man, that's disgusting, bro. Yes, I ain't going to front of college. I might have went two weeks. I'm going to be honest with you. I think I do two weeks now. That's disgusting. As a grown-ass man, that's disgusting, bro. Yes, it is. I have two washcloths and a towel to dry off

with. That's disgusting, bro. Two weeks goes by fast. Do you wash at night, in the morning? Absolutely. Yes, you need more than two weeks, bro. That towel stinks. I'm a two to sometimes three shower a day type of person. You smell your towel? Does your wife smell yours no how since y'all use the same one no she gets a fresh towel but and that's how i know your

towels ain't fresh because what makes the towel smell is the dampness of it when them towels dry out they don't be that rank two weeks they stink bro rank 800-585-1051 How often do you wash your towels?

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have Jemele Hill, our guest host today. And you learn so much about people. Like, Jemele Hill, you know, she sparked this topic because, you know, she chose violence on Twitter, telling people they don't be washing. And, you know, they don't change their towels and stuff. And now Jemele says you don't wash before you go to bed? Not all the time. No. Me neither.

Not every time. Not every, yeah. I do for specific reasons sometimes. It depends on what has happened in the course of the day, what I've been doing. You might have worked out and laid me hot. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, workout. Definitely.

For sure. Oh, she wants some sex? That was going to be the other thing. See, Envy picked up on it. I was like, well, the other thing, too, is that, you know, if you want to have everything fresh for a sexy time. Got you. Definitely. I don't understand Envy not watching before bed because that Beijing, like, you can't watch two in times a day with that Beijing on your chin and in your head.

Let's go to the phone lines, man. Hello, who's this? This is Cherie from Houston. Hey, Cherie. Hey, Cherie. Hey, Cherie. Good morning. Good morning. How often do you change your towel, mama?

Every three days. Every three days. Every three days. And in between those two days, you really should throw your towel in the dryer. Because if you don't put that heat on it, the bacteria or whatever will start festering on the damp towels. And that's nasty. That's what I'm doing. And that's when you get rank.

That's when that towel be rank. It starts to hold that smell. After a while, when you wash them, it kind of smells moldy and dingy. Uh-uh, nobody wants that. What would you rather be, rank or stank? I feel like rank is better. I would rather be neither But I feel like

Rank is the stank Stank is stank Rank is subtle Yeah It's like a quiet funk Whereas if you stank it's like loud Like when you say you stank You just like oh gosh

Something might be in my pores that's how you feel doctor hello who's this hi this is terrence hey good morning mama where you calling from i'm calling from detroit look at three represent please don't say that in trifling now how often do you change your towel mama um i change my towel every time i shower oh the every day every time boy y'all rich that's a lot of laundry detergent um well i wash my laundry once a week so can i ask you what's going on with your body that you got to change your towel every day if you if you don't mind me asking like what's what's the problem there's not a problem i just like pulling a fresh towel and unfolding it i don't believe that i don't i don't believe anybody that tells me they change the towel every day i don't believe bianca

bianca said it she does it every day but i do she's right about something there's something about like a fresh towel like especially if it's like a warm fresh towel yeah like that's that's very luxurious feeling why do we have the mind state that because i do this in hotels i need fresh towels all the time i'm the worst hotels, I'm the worst. I'm always calling out, bring me more towels. I burn through those. Why do we do that in hotels? Because you're not doing the laundry. You're not doing the laundry. And most hotel towels are white,

right? And so it's just like, you know, it's something about a white towel that just starts to look kind of dingy or whatever. White towels are like a therapist. You get to see yourself. Yeah, it exposes what you've been doing that day, right?

But you know, in a hotel too, I take the sheets off the bed every day to make sure they change the sheets because they have this new thing now where they're like... You got to ask, right? Yeah,

you got to ask to change the sheets. I take the sheets off every day. I want new sheets every day. I think you're just being bad because you be ruining them people's sheets with all that beige. What's the moral of the story, man?

Why is it always about... I don't even use beige. The moral of the story is just wash your damn towels. That What's the moral of the story, man? Why is it always about, I don't even use Beijing? The moral of the story is just wash your damn towels. That's really the moral of the story. Because somebody in this room, well, not in this room, but in this building, said they don't wash their towels until they smell something. What? That's not good.

That is not good. That is not good at all. That's actually disgusting. How often do they smell it? Like, how fast does it take to smell? I don't know. If the odor probably jumps up on them. See what I'm saying? That's right. And if that's the case, if your towel is smelling that bad,

then you know what was leading into that? That's right. He said, I thought I heard, if I heard correctly, he said his new girlfriend is the one who's been... Who got him together on that. Well, you wouldn't have a new girlfriend if you know you change your towels more often. Okay, you'd have a one OG girlfriend. All right, you're gonna keep having new girlfriends because every time they smell them towels they're gonna be out but but most women though there's a expectation that we have that a lot of you know guys you may date or you wind up being a significant other like there's gonna be an expected level of nastiness right oh yeah it's gonna be an expected level where you just like you know because my husband tells me this all the time. And he's a very clean person. That he holds women to a much higher standard.

He's like, you know, men can be a little nasty. Y'all can get away with it. But women cannot get away with that. That's true. Yeah. Now, Jamil. Pause, pause, pause. Quick question.

Do you do the laundry in your crib? Or does your husband? We both do it. Why is that a pause? I don't know why it's a pause. I'm going to tell you. Does your husband have white underwear? Man, you've been checking out wood, man.

Yo, you a wild boy, man. I don't understand this line of questions. Ray J was here. Ray J was telling men that they shouldn't have white underwear because it's embarrassing when their woman washes the underwear. I'm just asking. Okay, but why are you a grown man with streaks is the bigger question. That's right. Do y'all not? I y'all not, I mean,

are we not at a point where we're using wipes? Somebody called up here yesterday and literally said they learned how to wipe their ass properly because they heard that conversation we had on The Breakfast Club. This was two weeks ago, Jamel. That man was like 30-something years old. That is, that's shameful.

I don't think my husband has a lot of white underwear. Most of them are like black, you know, different whatever and i have never seen a streak all right a streak you should not have gave envy that visual award in no black underwear he is not that's what he wanted you know i'm so now understanding why envy is in in this prison, man. Oh, my goodness. Y'all going to let Evie live. Free Evie. Liberate. Oh, my goodness.

All right. When we come back, Nyla Simone is joining us. Of course, DJ Nyla Simone. You know she does Pass the Aux. That's what we tap into her playlist here. What's new, what's popping, what we should be looking for or listening to. And we're going to do that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
