There was a lot of flooding.
Angela Yee, she's out in Atlanta trying to
connect. And I'm here
all alone, all dolo.
Alright.
Now, shout out to everybody
in Africa. I'm actually heading to Africa
this weekend. I have a show, a party
in Kenya, which I'm excited
about. I'm just always sad when I go
to Africa, I can't stay a little longer. I'll only
be there three days. I'm actually flying in. I'm there for a full day. Then I do my show and then I come right back. But I'm always excited to go. This is my second time in Kenya. And it's just amazing to just see different places. So I always tell everybody, if you get the opportunity, definitely travel. If you can travel, travel, travel, travel, new world, new experiences, new things to see.
So if you get that opportunity, definitely travel. All right.
Now, I want to remind you guys, Father's Day weekend.
Of course, my car show goes down in Houston, Texas.
It's the Houston, Texas versus New York car show. Celebrity cars, exotic cars, old school cars.
There's always something to do with the kids.
There's rides.
So if you're looking for a Father's Day gift,
we're doing that in Father's Day weekend, June 19th in Houston.
And then we're doing one in Atlanta on July 9th.
All right.
Well, Bobby Brown will be joining us this morning.
We're going to be kicking it with Bobby Brown a little bit.
But not only Bobby Brown, I get to do my Bobby Brown mini mix.
So get on the lines and let me know your favorite Bobby joint,
whether it's Tenderoni, my prerogative, or whatever it may be.
We're going to be kicking it to Bobby Brown next hour.
All right, now we got front-page news next.
Whatever Angelique wants to talk about,
because I don't know if we're going to connect or not.
Charlamagne will be here in a second.
So don't go anywhere, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angelique, Charlamagne Tha God. We's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
and Jalee. Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
What up, Charlamagne?
Yo, what's the word?
How's everybody doing today? Now, in sports,
Golden State Warriors beat the Mavericks
112-87. They blew them
out last night. Yeah, I went to bed right after.
Right at the start of the fourth quarter.
Pretty much a wrap by then.
Yeah, fourth quarter, they put all the B-level team in.
It was done after that.
The B-level team?
You mean the bench?
People on the bench?
Yeah, it's B-level.
Jesus Christ.
That's not B-level.
The bench.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, the bench.
Jesus Christ.
The bench is B-level.
The guys will wash you.
Everybody you call in B-level on the Warriors will wash you.
Okay?
I'm not a professional basketball player. That's my point.
I don't B-level. He's a bench player.
That's all. Same thing.
Alright, now the United States Soccer Federation
and the United States Women's National Team
Players Association and the
United States National Soccer Team Players Association
have agreed to a deal that achieves
equal pay and set the global
standard moving forward into international soccer.
So what that means is both men and women will make the same amount of money.
I don't believe that.
Like, what do you mean?
What does that mean?
What do you mean?
That can't be.
That can't be.
That can't be what that means, totally.
Like, every single player is going to make the same amount of money.
So how do you pay somebody for the quality of their work?
Well, I guess they say that's part of the agreement.
How do you pay somebody for their talent level?
U.S. Soccer will share a portion of its broadcast partner and sponsorship revenue
with a 50-50 split of the share divided equally between the men's and women's soccer teams.
They said equal pay for men and women was not possible, but they did not stop us,
and we went ahead and achieved it.
We hope this will awaken others to need this type of change
and will inspire FIFA and others around the world
to move in the same direction. So every
player across the board is going to make the same
amount of money? That doesn't make sense.
Some people are just clearly better than others.
There might be a woman that's better than
a guy. There might be a guy that's better than
a woman. So you think LeBron James
would want to take the same amount of money as everybody on the team?
No.
Is there a woman in So you think LeBron James would want to take the same amount of money as everybody on the team? No. Is there a woman in the WNBA
that should be making
as much as LeBron James?
I guess they might do it in stats.
If a man's stats and a woman's stats is the same,
that makes sense.
They have to get equal pay. That's what I'm sure how they'll do it.
Stuff like that makes sense.
You pay people based on the
body of their work. But what I don't understand
is NBA brings in so much money, right?
Yes.
Let's say the WNBA doesn't bring in that much money.
So if the NBA brings in billions of dollars, you know what I mean?
So they can afford to pay LeBron whatever it is because there's so many people coming to see LeBron.
Yeah, and if you're splitting revenue, then you can afford to pay the top women players their worth.
Yes.
All right.
Now, this baby food shortage is getting disrespectful.
It's getting crazy out there.
People have been driving from stores to stores, city to city,
trying to find this formula, and this lady actually talks about it.
It is the most, you know, besides the hugs and the love,
it's the most basic thing that these babies need.
People have texted pictures of grocery shelves saying there is this much formula left.
Does anyone need me to pick it up for anyone that they know?
I went in the car today for four hours.
The seven stores I checked personally, none of them but one had my daughter's formula.
And that was just today.
Since this week, I've checked 53 stores.
I mean, I'm going out of state to look.
I just can't find it anywhere.
And the crazy thing about baby formula, if anybody has a child or baby,
is if your baby uses a particular formula, they have to stay on that formula.
If you change from Infamil to Similac to Good Start or whatever formula that you use,
if you change, it can mess with the baby's digestive system.
It can be colicky. It can be so many things.
Stomach pains. It can be so many things.
So you have to keep the formula consistent and it's difficult.
Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to address this formula situation.
And they are passing a bill to give twenty eight million dollars in emergency funding to address the baby formula footage.
I'm sorry formula shortage.
And they said the move will get ingredients to manufacturers to help speed up production.
And they're hoping that this will be by the end of the month.
I mean, I know for my child, I got a five-month-old. We actually had to start fruit and cereal earlier just to make sure that we didn't have this problem.
So we're already giving little baby Peyton fruit now.
Yeah, Sam, I got a seven-month-old the house you know she's been on the cereal and the
fruit and stuff but and my wife breastfeeds but she did say cuz she just
was weaning her off the breast and started getting her on formula she did
say last week she's concerned about this yeah formula shortage I'm sure most of
us with newborns at the house are not newborn not newborns, you know, young kids.
Or newborns or people that's pregnant right now.
They don't know how long this is going to last.
So that is your front page news.
All right.

All right, well.

Angela.
Oh, you mean like when we do rumor report,
you don't know what rumors you're reporting because Angela's not on the line.
Well, let's wing it.
I like it.
All right.
Well, let's get to the rumor report.
Let's talk rumors.
Let's talk rumors.
This is the rumor report with Angela Yee.
Mama has it.
On the Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
Jesus Christ.
BMF star Little Meech arrested for allegedly stealing $250,000 Richard Milley.
Watch. What?
That is saying a 22 year old, he got booked
on two counts of first degree grand theft and a
separate count of organized fraud.
Now this is the, he allegedly
took a watch. Now they're
saying that little Meech, he put
a down payment on a Richard Milley by using his
platinum Rolex, which was $80,000.
And then they said he
allegedly failed to pay the remaining balance of $200,000.
Now, why would a jeweler call the police on you if I put down something as collateral?
You know I'm not trying to steal the watch.
If anything, I owe you some money, but don't say I stole the watch.
Well, not only that, if the watch is $250,000 and I give you $80,000, how I still owe you
$200,000?
Interest, maybe?
I don't know.
Damn interest?
Should be a lot less than that. Should be like, what, $ $200,000. Interest, maybe? I don't know. Damn interest. Should be a lot less than that.
Should be like, what, $170,000?
The point is that he knows that the guy wasn't trying to steal.
Does the dude owe him money?
Clearly.
Yes.
But did he try to steal the watch?
No.
Yeah, that's not robbery.
I think that's more like civil court, I would think.
So the police don't take into consideration all those details when they arrest you?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, they don't look at all that
and say, well, this isn't a robbery.
We can't.
I know, right?
Robbery is like grand theft.
Yeah.
No, you gave me the watch.
I'm going to be honest with you.
When I think grand theft,
all I think is video games.
I don't have to go with grand theft.
I have no idea what grand theft is.
Well, we have some audio of him
speaking to one of his co-hosts
of him being bailed out.
I just want you all to know
we just bailed my out
because we got to finish season three.
We got to finish season two, three, four, and five. So the bail was like, what, 1.2 mil? out. $1.4 million? That's not true. You guys just said it's not true. Listen, I just did some research. And by research, I mean Google.
Google.
What is it?
Grand theft is a specific intent crime, meaning that the person taking the property must have
had the exact intent of depriving the victim of the property or stealing.
That's clearly not grand theft if I gave you a down payment.
If I give you my watch that's worth $80,000, I clearly didn't have an exact intent of depriving
you of your property or stealing.
Correct.
That's not grand theft. That's what I think.
But I'm not a lawyer. I think that would be civilly,
I would think, but anyway. I'm not a lawyer or a police
officer. Don't listen to us. Yeah, you're right. Do you watch
Masked Singer?
On Shade Room.
Oh, that's it? Yeah, whenever they announce the winner.
Okay. So online, yes I do.
Well, Tiana Taylor is the
winner. I saw that. Let's play.
I held it down for teeth team good to feel the same.
It feels so good to win this.
And it's crazy because I was so passionate from day one.
And I think it's because of my journey in music and me being skeptical
and if I should come out of retirement to do it or not.
But I was like, this would really be something where I can just sing
without politics and judgment.
I think that's why it was
such an emotional journey for me. It was nothing that I looked at as just like funny games. I guess
you can really say that the Masked Singer is technically my last bow. I'm Seattle today,
you never know. Drop on the clues box with Teyana Taylor. There's nothing Teyana Taylor can't do.
Okay?
Teyana Taylor is extremely talented.
Her and Amon, they like the reality show killers, right?
Mm-hmm.
Because Amon won Dancing with the Stars.
Yeah, he won.
Teyana won The Masked Singer.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Drop on the Clues Bonds for the Shumpert Taylors.

They call him the Fyre Festival Frauder.
Well, he got...
That's the one that was giving fellatio for the water?
Which one is that?
Andy.
That was Andy that was giving fellatio for the water.
Yeah, he was...
What?
Y'all remember that?
I remember that, but how do you...
Like, anyway...
That's the only thing I remember from the whole thing.
I can see. I can see why.
Billy McFarlane, they said he was the guy behind the Fyre Festival,
and he put it on, and he was supposed to serve six years in prison,
but he served less than four.
So he was released yesterday.
Man, that was that long ago?
He been locked up that long?
Now, part of his plea deal, he was supposed to serve six years.
He was originally facing 20 years in prison,
and he was supposed to reimburse $26 million.
Did he?
No.
He only did less than four years.
When you say less than four, what do you mean?
Like more than three?
Yeah, less than four is more than three.
I don't know if you know this guy here.
You know what I mean, man.
You're bright.
You're bright, boy.
You're smart.
You know what I mean, man. When you say less than four You're bright. You're bright, boy. You're smart. You know what I mean, man.
When you said less than four, does that mean more than three?
Yeah, more than three.
It was like three and a half.
Was it three and three quarters?
Like, you know.
This guy here.
Was it close to four?
This guy here.
All right.
Now, Martin Shrelly.
You remember who that was?
I do remember Martin.
Martin was up here.
He came to the breakfast club.
That's right.
He was the one that bought the Wu-Tang album.
Well, he's a free man now, too. He's been released from club. That's right. He was the one that bought the Wu-Tang album. Well, he's a free man now, too.
He's been released from prison.
Really?
Yes.
He was a pharmaceutical exec, and he was allegedly charging people overpriced for the
pills that they would need for some of their problems if they had.
Now, I know he did more than four.
Well, he's been transferred to a confinement place, and he was initially sentenced to seven
years in prison after being found guilty of three to eight.
And let me see how much time did he do.
He didn't do all his time either.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Let me see.
He didn't do his time.
How about that?
I end up in all his documentaries.
Really?
Yeah.
Whenever they do documentaries,
they always use his interviews from here
on The Breakfast Club.
Wow.
Well, he got an early release
and now he has community confinement.
He did at least three.
He did at least three.
Maybe less than four, but he did more.
He did less than four?
He might have done less than four,
but he did more than three.
He definitely did less than seven,
but more than three.
He definitely did more than three.
All right, well.
We'll do some research.
Yeah, we'll do some research.
Meaning let me Google his name.
Yeah, Google his name.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
Angelique, are you back yet?
What the hell is going on?
What do you mean?
He's actually in the halfway house, too.
That's what I said.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
He did less than seven.

Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.
Now, last night, the Golden State Warriors beat the Mavericks 1-12-87.
Tonight, the Boston Celtics take on the Miami Heat.
Miami Heat, of course, lead that series 1-0.
Yes, indeed.
Now, the Buffalo Bills, some of the players of the Bills,
they stopped by the Top Store where the shooting occurred a couple of days ago,
the mass shooting.
And the Buffalo Bills Foundation
is donating by, helping by supporting
and giving $200,000.
The NFL Foundation
will be matching that with an additional
$200,000. So they're donating
$400,000 in total.
And who's that money going to?
I guess anybody affected by the
situation, maybe the store as well. They were also
giving groceries to surrounding areas.
Anybody in the area that couldn't get groceries at the time because the grocery stores closed down.
So they were doing all that yesterday.
And now they were saying some Buffalo shooting survivors actually had to hide in a milk cooler.
When they heard the gunshots, they all jumped in coolers, just trying to hide, closing the coolers, trying to just be as quiet as possible.
Hey, self-preservation.
You know what I'm saying?
You're going to do what you got to do to survive.
Yeah, they said all you heard was firing and shooting and firing, firing.
They said people were just scattering, trying to get anywhere out of there.
They said they were hiding in coolers.
People were screaming, crying, yelling, talking about there's a shooter in the store.
They said people were yelling people to be quiet so the shooter couldn't find out where they were.
They said these people are going to be traumatized forever.
Of course.
Some of the people that this happened to said they couldn't even,
they're not even going back to a store.
Lamont Thomas and his eight-year-old daughter, London,
they were looking for a cake mix with their mother for their mother's birthday.
And they said they heard gunshots.
And he said the first thing he did was just throw his daughter into the milk cooler
and just wanted her to be safe as possible i mean listen man you know
ptsd they're gonna have that forever because it's just a a mental health condition that's
triggered by a terrifying event whether you experienced it or witnessed it and one of the
things that's gonna haunt all of them is the fact that you almost could have died you know what i
mean like that's something that you're going to think about constantly for the rest of your life along with watching all of those other
people who got tragically murdered and the craziest thing is um yesterday my wife had to go to the
grocery store she was like i'm going to the grocery store be right back i was like nah i'll go i just
felt like and i know i can't protect anything and i can't say that if that happens it happens but
i was just like nah you and the baby, I'll go.
Just come on, I'll go do it.
That is PTSD.
That's a form of PTSD.
Like, you know, we all, you know, witnessed this tragic experience.
And I hope, you know, I feel for all of y'all that watched it online.
I didn't watch it online, but, you know, whether you watched it or you just heard about it, yes, that is a feeling that you're going to have.
Every time you hear grocery store, like something as simple as going to the grocery store,
something as routine as going to the grocery store, something as routine as going to the grocery store.
You can't even just let your guard down when that when you go do that simple activity nowadays.
Now, a married Pennsylvania high school choir director was arrested for a sexual relationship with a female student after her husband alerted the authorities. Olivia Ortiz is 27.
She was taken into custody Monday with two counts of sexual activity with a 17-year-old student.
Drop one of the clues, boss, for that husband.
When you see something, say something.
Her husband, who did freelance work for the school's music department, said he's seen some messages on her iPad.
Coming home from a recent trip to Florida, and he told the principal they called the police and she was arrested.
Drop one of Clue's bonds for that husband for doing the right thing.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Now they said.
Give me her name.
She's knocking it today.
Now they also said that the person that was in that position before her is facing similar charges for sexual misconduct with students.
What? Yes. So the person that was the high school choir director before her is facing similar charges for sexual misconduct with students. What?
Yes.
So the person that was the high school choir director before her is facing similar charges.
They said that he allegedly had an affinity for tickling the feet of co-eds.
I don't even know what that means.
Come here.
Let me show you.
Come here.
Come here.
Let me show you.
I don't know what that means.
He was tickling the kids' feet.
He liked it.
He turned them on.
That's what he's saying.
They said the pair, when he would do it, had a code word.
And when you said the code word.
So the two choir directors were a tag team?
No, no.
Before this, Olivia got the job.
There was another choir director that was facing similar charges for sexual misconduct.
Yeah.
So I don't know if it's something with choir directors
or what. Just joking, choir directors. I'm not
saying that you guys are. I wonder if the kids were
complaining but nobody was listening to them.
I wonder if the kids have been complaining about
this behavior from their choir directors but nobody was
listening to them. And it took the husband to blow the whistle.
I'm sure it did. But I'm wondering
what the code word could be for tickling your feet.
I have no idea, sir.
But keep in mind, these are kids
that you talking about here. I'm talking about you.
Nope. This is not the time.
Alright, well that is front page news.
Read the room, sir. Yeah, I read the room.

Hey, everyone.
This is Courtney Thorne-Smith,
Laura Layton,
and Daphne Zuniga.
On July 8th, 1992,
apartment buildings with pools
were never quite the same
as Melrose Place
was introduced to the world.
It took drama and mayhem
to an entirely new level.
We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion,
and every single wig removal together.
Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.
Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by.
You know who they are.
Sydney, Allison and Joe are back together on Still the Place
with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place.
So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
R&B legend.
Oh, man.
Bobby Brown.
Bobby Brown is here.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing wonderful.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
Man, Bobby Brown.
So Memorial Weekend, you have a special that's going to be airing.
Is it two nights?
It's two nights.
It's the 30th and the 31st.
And, you know, we think like Bobby Brown, you know, we read your book.
Every Little Step.
Every Little Step.
Amazing book.
Obviously, we've seen the series that was on BET also.
And you're like, man, what more do we not know about Bobby Brown?
But you really spilled it all.
Yeah, I had to.
In order to become better, you have to spilled it all. Yeah, I had to. In order to become
better, you have to get everything
out. Was this your idea?
I want to say yes, but
at the same time, they came to me
and it was at a
time that I had just
lost my son.
And I just felt I
needed to do something to
become whole again.
Oof.
Man, I think about you often, man,
because I don't know how you get up every morning, brother.
Like, how difficult is it just to wake up?
I actually wake up now instead of rolling over.
Wow.
The struggle is hard, but at the same time, they're with me.
So I know that.
Does it help or hurt with your healing process to constantly have to relive
and talk about these situations through books, through documentaries,
through movies?
It's therapeutic.
It helps me get through the day.
And I have many days to get through.
Each day is a blessing.
Yes. And it feels like Alicia is a person that really helped you. Each day is a blessing. Yes.
And it feels like Alicia is a person that really helped you.
You said get back into the business, get back to the music,
and give you some more energy too.
Yes, yes, definitely.
My wife.
I dressed you today.
Yeah, you said she put together this fresh ass ensemble you got on.
This is very fun.
You ain't buying it off the rack, by the way.
You called it an ensemble.
If the mattress is sweatpants with the mattress sweating, you ain't buying that off the rack, by the way. You called it an ensemble. If the sweatshirt is a matching sweater,
you ain't buying that off the rack, bro.
I don't know where she got it from,
but she just told me to put it on.
Yeah, Alicia is, she's my rock.
How hard was it for you to allow somebody
to enter your life at that time?
Because it can't be easy to trust people.
That's true. All I had was trust in my heart. I had nothing else at the time that me and her
got back together. It was at a point in my life where I was getting divorced and
didn't know which way I was going to go with my music or, you know, my career.
And she gave me the answer.
Do shows, you know, different things.
And I went about that and, you know, ended up on the right side of the road.
How do you keep positive energy, man?
Because it seems like, you know, so many circumstances could easily make you bitter, you know?
But it seems like you still lead with love.
How is that possible? God, prayer, you know? But it seems like you still lead with love. How is that possible?
God, prayer, you know?
Therapy?
Therapy.
Lots of therapy.
Yeah.
When did you decide to start doing therapy?
Probably over 15 years ago.
I decided that, you know, I needed to talk to somebody, you know,
in order to work out all the issues within myself.
Yeah, I love therapy.
I go once a week.
I've been going once a week for like six, seven years now.
Yeah?
Yeah.
That's a good thing.
Yeah, I don't know if you ever get to a place of wholeness, though.
I think wholeness is within you already, you know?
Being able to dish out all of the dirt that's in you to somebody helps you get through the day.
When you wrote Every Little Step some years ago, when I read the book, I said, it's going to be a movie.
I knew it was going to be a movie, but now it's been a movie.
It's been a documentary.
How does that feel for you that your life is able to play out in so many different ways?
Things keep happening.
It's unfortunate,
but strange things keep happening to me.
And I keep having to relive what's in my past.
But I'm dealing.
How's your relationship with the rest of the guys?
Now, I know y'all have gone through so many things.
But they did interviews for the docuseries special also.
So how's that?
You know, it's always up and down,
but you feel like you guys
are in a better space now
than you've ever been?
Yeah, the camaraderie
that we go through now
is totally different.
We're grown-ass men,
so there's no more fighting.
That would be terrible if you were me.
To see us all fight
is something different.
So there's no more fighting.
There's no more fussing.
We're able to sit down and conversate with each other
and not have a problem with each other.
If there's a problem, we sit down and we talk about it.
So there's no more fisticuffs.
When did I tell you I had a fist fight?
Last time we had a fist fight was probably on the Home Again tour.
Oh, that was years ago.
Who was the best fighter out of all of you, you think?
Probably me.
Everyone's going to say that.
Everybody would say that.
Me and Ronnie, probably.
We have the longer arms.
Now, one thing you guys discuss in the documentary also is when you did the reality show, You and Whitney.
Classic.
And some people didn't think it was a good idea.
For you, in retrospect, looking back at it, do you think that's something that if you could do it again, you would?
Yeah.
I don't regret anything that I've done in my life.
I think everything that I've done in my life led me up to this point.
You guys also talked about SNL spoofing it.
Was that hurtful for you at that time?
Yes, definitely.
Definitely.
It was hateful.
Now, being Bobby Brown, one of the greatest reality shows of all time,
why didn't it continue?
I can say money issues.
I can say, you know, me and Andy didn't get along.
I can say a whole bunch of things.
But I'll simply just say it ran its course.
Yeah.
I always said, it's the scene where you pulled Dudu out of your ex-wife's butt.
I said, that's love.
I was a little boy.
I'm like, that's love.
I said, that is clearly what love is.
Pinky finger.
Pinky finger.
Pinky finger.
But then you always hear people say
you don't really know you're in love
until you're sick
and then a person gotta wipe your butt or something.
So I always look at those two things.
Like, that's love.
That's love.
You go through that.
If you can't express your love in different ways,
then you're not loving a person.
Yeah.
Were you shocked that you found love again so much later in life?
Not really shocked, but surprised.
You know, surprised that somebody that loved me for me is somebody that understands what
I've been through in the past.
And I'm thankful for that.
Now, you also were surprised in this documentary, you talked about an instance
where you ended up, your mom was brutalized and you ended up having to go talk to a priest
and he attempted to molest you. Yes. How did that affect your relationship with religion?
I don't think it hurt my relationship with God. I just think it made me distrust older people.
So I never liked authority.
I think that's how it affected me.
This is why it's good to know people's stories.
You know what I mean?
Because sometimes people will be projecting trauma and projecting things that have happened to them in their life.
And we just dismiss them and say, oh, he's crazy or he's rebellious.
Yeah, he's a nut.
He's a nut.
Yeah.
Had Bobby Brown ever felt true peace?
I'm living it.
I try to find peace every day.
True peace to me is being able to understand what my life is all about
and what I'm here for, you know.
I'm here to entertain, period.
Are you in a constant state of grief, Mr. Brown?
No, no, not at all. All right, we got more with Bobby Brown when we come back. Let's get in a constant state of grief, Mr. Brown? No.
No.
Not at all.
All right, we got more with Bobby Brown when we come back.
Let's get into a Bobby Brown mini-mix.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Bobby Brown.
Charlamagne.
It's interesting that you said, you know, the SNL sketch, you know, offended you. Did a lot of jokes from that time period offend you?
Because, you know, they made you? Did a lot of jokes from that time period offend you? Because, you know, they made you
and Whitney a lot of jokes.
It was the show
Mad, I believe.
Mad TV.
They really offended me.
I took a lot of this shit personal.
But it was different back then. Y'all could run down on people.
Yeah. With no cameras.
And me and
Whitney would like that
we would
did you have to run down on any comedians
or anything like that back then
no
I won't go there
I'm not going to intimidate myself
it wasn't like I didn't want to
take Aries Spears and corner somewhere
but when they used to see y'all
I'm sure it was different in person.
It is.
It is.
Sketches are sketches.
Comedy is comedy.
And I think I realized that a long time ago that I can't take so personal that I want to cause somebody bodily harm.
Well, you and Mike Tyson were really good friends.
Mike would beg to differ about that.
Do you still talk to Mike Tyson a lot? Yes.
How do you like seeing him in the space that he's
in now with podcasting? I
love everything about that brother.
He's just the most
positive person that I've
been able to know
for a long period of time.
I want to hear you on Mike Tyson's podcast.
Yeah, that'll be fun.
Just because, you know, the journey that y'all both have been on,
you know, the healing journey, the spiritual aspect of it.
I just want to see what, I know what got Mike to his point.
I want to hear y'all have that conversation together.
I think that could be powerful.
That should be coming up really soon.
And so much history, yes.
And I'm sure there's some stories you probably don't even remember that he remembers.
Oh, he remembers everything.
Everything.
That's the strange thing about Mike.
He just remembers everything.
Everything.
When you were declared the King of R&B back in the day by your late wife, did that put added pressure on you?
No, I really never paid attention to the label, King of R&B.
I mean, I've called myself the King of Stage many times,
but that was just due.
I still don't think anybody can f*** with me on stage.
When you first started with the documentary,
you guys started off talking about an incident that happened in Oakland.
Was it in Oakland?
Yes.
Where that was kind of the final story.
Do you feel like you remember things differently
than the guys remember it when you recall
what happened back then?
No.
No.
I remember it perfectly clear.
So what exactly happened on that stage?
Well, they cut me off when I was singing my part.
And I had very few parts.
That was like God's plan, though, because that's what really made you decide, I need to go solo.
Yes.
So when you look back, you're like, there's a reason.
Behind the madness.
Yes.
But even in hindsight, what accountability do you take?
I take all accountability.
I know that I was doing things out of the ordinary
that a new edition member should do.
It was because I wanted to go solo.
Do you think it was kind of maybe self-destruction a little bit?
Probably.
Self-sabotage?
Yeah.
Well, your plan worked.
It worked.
It worked.
Does Bobby Brown feel like he got everything he wanted out of the game?
Not yet.
Really?
Not yet.
I'm still working on me.
God is still working on me.
So, you know, he had to get new tools, but he's still working.
So what do you ultimately want?
I mean, it feels like as an artist, there's not too many people who've had the success you've had group-wise and as a solo artist.
Like, what more could Bobby Brown want out of the music industry?
I'm an entertainer, so I want to do more movies.
I want to do a lot more writing as far as scripts are concerned.
I just want to plant my feet in the Hollywood entertainment world as far as acting is concerned.
True.
So once I do that, then my you know, my mission will be complete.
You also got a street named after you?
Two.
Two streets.
Two streets.
One in Boston and one in Atlanta, Georgia.
Oh, that's dope.
That's a great feeling to be like, what street you live on?
Bobby Brown.
How much has the neighborhood changed as far as racism because I know growing up in Roxbury
you guys have talked about how racist
it was there you think
things are a lot better or you think no
I don't live there
anymore and I don't live with racism
I know it's
a part of this world
I just choose not to pay attention to it
when you
ignore a problem,
it don't mean it's going to go away, though.
Right.
But I'm not the fixer.
Yeah, I don't think, to be honest with you,
I don't think there's a cure for it.
I don't either.
How much did it affect you
as a young black man
coming up in this business, too?
I don't really feel that it played a part
in me not getting a role
or me not selling
30 million albums. I think
it plays a part. Behind
closed doors, people will talk.
They're not going to say it to my face. As long as
you don't say it to my face, I'm cool with it.
I also feel like they try to paint you
as this bad boy of R&B,
but rock stars are doing all these things and that's
just rock star behavior. That's just
normal for them. I don't tear up hotels.
I don't crash cars, you know,
limos and shit like that.
You left some cars stranded on the side.
Yeah, I have.
It was intense.
They were intense.
Always, you know, it's interesting
you said the thing about the 30 million records
because I think I look at like new kids on the block, right?
They had the same management as y'all they had the same producer
producer yes and they were new edition clones they were the white new edition right but they
sold millions and millions of records like that race had to have something to do with that
yeah probably probably but there were there were probably more people that could afford records on their side
of the tracks than on our side of the tracks
well I'm excited for us
to all watch this as a family together
of Memorial Weekend
it's a two night event Monday May 30th
and Tuesday May 31st at 8pm
on A&E
and then the series comes on
the 31st right after
the documentary.
And it's a 12-part series.
12-part series.
I do want to ask about Don't Be Cruel.
When you recorded that album, in your mind,
did you know this was going to be one of them ones?
When I recorded Prerogative, I knew it was going to be a hit.
Me, Aaron Hall, and Teddy Riley.
It was just a perfect song to me.
Is it still your prerogative now?
Oh, yeah. Hell yeah.
Don't be cruel.
Didn't Elvis Presley have a song?
Don't be cruel. Was that where you got the title from or
was it a coincidence? It was a coincidence.
Yeah.
But I'm a big Elvis fan.
That's so random.
Yeah, I've never heard that. I've never heard a black person
say they're a big Elvis fan I'm a big Elvis fan
really
I got a collection of
Elvis shit
that you wouldn't believe
I don't think I ever heard
an Elvis Presley song
I've heard Blue Suede Shoes
but you know how they always say
Jay-Z has the most
number one albums
more than Elvis
I've never heard any
of those albums
I think I heard
Blue Suede Shoes
that's about it
you never heard
Don't Be Cruel
Too Hard
Too Hard that's true I know Don't Be Cruel Too Hard. Too hard, that's true.
I know Don't Be Cruel
because I would never be that cruel to you.
That's the real one.
That's the real one, right?
That's all you need to know.
What does Bobby Brown do to heal?
What are some of the practices?
I pray.
I pray a lot, man.
I pray a lot.
That's my go-to.
Talk to God. It's working. Thank you. Yeah, lot, man. I pray a lot. That's my go-to. You know, talk to God.
It's working.
Thank you.
Yeah, definitely, man.
Bobby Brown, good to see you, my brother.
Good to be seen, man.
Good to see you in good spirits.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like I'm telling you, I think about you often.
I'm like, that brother's probably dealing with things
that we don't even know nothing about,
a level of grief that I wouldn't want to feel.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
But it's always a pleasure to run into you.
I saw you at the National Museum of African American Music.
Yes, I remember.
I'm always like, oh, Bobby Brown's here.
That's wild.
You're in the National Museum of African American Music,
and Bobby, it's like a living exhibit.
It was an event.
Oh, it was an event.
Oh, I thought you ran into him.
But it's always like you've seen Michael Jackson when you see Bobby Brown. Absolutely. Oh, thank was an event. Oh, it was an event. Oh, I thought you ran into it. But it's always like you've seen Michael Jackson
when you see Bobby Brown.
Absolutely.
Oh, thank you.
Absolutely.
And when he says, hey, how you doing?
I'm always like, I can't believe Bobby Brown knows who I am.
Who doesn't?
Make sure y'all watch Monday, May 30th
and Tuesday, May 31st, the biography, Bobby Brown,
and the new series, Bobby Brown, Every Little Step on A&E.
Good to see you, brother.
Good to be seen again.
Thank you for having me. Yes, sir Little Step on A&E. Good to see you, brother. Good to be seen again. Thank you for having me.
Yes, sir.
I appreciate y'all.

I missed that interview.
Salute to that brother, Bobby Brown, man.

And, you know, he has his documentary coming out on A&E.
But Bobby's had a life, bro.
Yeah, he has.
He's had a life.
One of my favorite artists when it comes to just everything,
performing and singing from New Edition to his solo career.
Just got to love Bobby Brown.
You'd be hard-pressed trying to tell some of these kids
how big Bobby Brown was.
I mean, he's a legend.
I don't even want to say was.
He's still Bobby Brown. Yes. Yes. Drop on the Clues kids how big Bobby Brown was. I mean, he's a legend. I don't even want to say was. He's still Bobby Brown.
Yes.
Yes.

that turns into books

and everything else,
you've had a journey.
Absolutely.
Yeah, and he's definitely
had a journey.

Congratulations. Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Let's get to the rumors.
Where you want to go?
You want to go breakups or you want to go?
I mean, I don't think you know what you're doing anyway,
so it doesn't matter where we go,
but I will follow you in whatever direction you go.
Okay?
I'll walk with you.
Okay.
All right.
Do you have an idea of where you want to take it?
Yeah, yeah.
We'll do vibrators in the butt when we come back,
so don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
First of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, he means that he has a story
and rumor report about vibrators in the butt.
I'm just teasing.
Huh?
I'm just teasing.
I'm just saying.
I don't want nobody to think that they're going to tune back into the radio and hear
us going at it.
That's the way you made it sound.
You made it sound like they're going to hear.
That's how you made it sound.
That's what you heard.
Okay.
I'm not for that type of entertainment.
I just do the rumors that they give me.
All right.
This guy.
Keep following me.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Viberry that's stuck in the butt.
Man, what's up, man?
It's the vibe time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
Sky, man. This is The Rumor Report. Rumor report. This guy, man.
This is the rumor report
with Angela Yee
on The Breakfast Club.
This guy, man.
I'm telling you,
I'm about to bring this law
in this room called
the Don't Play Gay Bill.
What are you talking about?
I'm doing stories.
Stop it.
Now, a TikTok star,
Pleasure,
turned into real pain
in the butt, literally.
She says she got her sex toy
stuck up there
and had to get it sexually or surgically
removed. Oh, it was a woman?
Yes.
What did you want?
Yeah, you teased me
for no damn reason. I thought you were about to tell me something.
That a woman who goes by the handle
at Soph Zalos,
she said that she was
playing with her three-inch
toy and she couldn't get it out. She had to get it out, and she had to go to the hospital,
and they had to have surgery to have it removed.
Remember when they had the story that you used to do that,
and it was a nine-inch dildo that got stuck in your butt?
See, that's the story.
That's something you give to the people for rumors.
What you just said, that's nothing.
Okay?
What, that happens every day, B?
Yeah, a woman and a sex toy, yeah, that's, okay.
But a guy? I just want to tell you, yesterday I was at a sneaker store sex toy. Yeah, that's it. Okay. But a guy?
I just want to tell you, yesterday I was at a sneaker store.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Tell the story.
Now you're talking.
A guy came up to me and he was like, yo, the gay jokes that you and Charlamagne be doing,
like the fact that I really feel like I love each other, me and my boys be doing the same
thing, son.
Okay.
He said the other day my man had a hot dog and I was like, hey, yo, not the glizzy.
I'm telling you.
So we are affecting a lot of people out there. No, I told you what happened to me when I was like, hey, yo, not the glizzy. So we are affecting a lot of people out there.
No, I told you what happened to me
when I was in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. A dude walked by,
a dude said, yo, Charlemagne, you
giving sexy, my boy?
You giving sexy,
my boy? What did you say back? I didn't know what
to say. No, no, because he said,
he said, word to my dad,
you giving sexy, my boy?
So I turned to my master, did he say word to my dad? He was like, nah, word to my dad. I was sexy, my boy. So I turned to my master, did he say word to my dad?
He was like, nah, word to my dad.
I was like, okay, I thought it was a threat.
He didn't respond?
No, I didn't know what to say.
All right.
Well, it looks like the Migos are breaking up.
Word to my dad?
I don't know if this is true.
They're saying that Quavo released a new song with Takeoff,
and the fact that now Cardi B and Offset unfollowed them means that they're breaking up.
Sounds like, I don't know, but they said that they're not following each other anymore, and that could be possibly that they're breaking up.
How do people know when people unfollow each other?
How do you see that?
Who is the unfollowed police that investigates these type of things?
I have no idea, but now you know how social media is.
If you unfollow somebody, you're really not messing with them anymore. And that's what people are saying.
Maybe I just don't like them on social media.
I have a lot of friends in real life that I don't follow on social media.
I don't like what they post.
But if you're in the same group, you follow them, right?
Maybe not.
Not if you don't like what they post.
Well, you know what?
Not playing that with y'all in here today.
Now, also, Mac Main Mac Mane settles a dispute
with, uh,
Lil Wayne and Mark Cuban.
You know, they got on the phone.
Things got a little, uh,
snippy yesterday.
Uh,
Mark Cuban,
he said to Mark Cuban,
Mark Cuban,
don't make me get you smack, boy.
You playing with me,
I will piss in your effing mouth,
hoe.
Well,
Mac Mane says he got-
Who's gonna let you pee in they mouth?
Mac Mane said they got him on the phone
and they worked everything out
and everything is officially okay now.
What was the problem?
Because Mark Cuban tweeted out...
I saw the tweet that Mark Cuban tweeted out.
He said, it's a show.
I'll put you in the front row.
And then Lil Wayne was like,
Mark Cuban don't play with me.
You're going to get smacked, boy.
Lil Wayne did tweet that Luka was a hoe.
He did.
Yes.
So he actually started it.
Cuban's sticking up for his guy. Yeah, so... But they squashed it out. Hopefully it was a hoe. He did. Yes. So he actually started it. He was sticking up for his guy.
Yeah, so.
But they squashed it out.
Hopefully it was all nothing.
Young Miami, she was doing an interview and she talks about her responding to Diddy's ex.
We have the audio.
Why do you decide to even draw attention?
Because bitches want attention.
You know how a person just keep poking you.
So it's like, what's up, bitch?
Yeah, I see you.
Relax.
Why even latch on?
She ain't nobody to play with so if she wanna say something she can say something.
It's like the bitch gonna be forgotten tomorrow, she gonna still be on Miami.
Yeah, it's just like I thought wow, it's like girl, okay relax.
You just doing too much.
And then when people start to make music and you say I need my 20%.
I need my 20% cause if that nigga couldn't get you, get you there,
you had to use my face, baby.
Pay me.
Yeah.
Period.
First of all, I was listening to my guy Speedy.
That was Speedy.
Complex.
That was Speedy and Complex.
I love the city, bro.
Drop on a clue line for the city, bro.
Even though I don't want no violence ever,
there's a part of me that just want to see JT and Young Miami jump somebody.
I know that'll be entertaining. We don't want no violence ever. There's a part of me that just want to see JT and Young Miami jump somebody. I know that'll be entertaining.
We don't want to see that.
Well, hopefully.
I do, kind of,
but I don't.
I'm not saying I don't,
but I do, kind of.
Well, hopefully.
Just because they have
each other back.
See how they have each other back
and see Young Miami talking
and then JT jumps in
and she's like,
nah, because, you know,
she's still Young Miami.
They really be having
each other back, man,
in a real way.
What happened to
I'm sending them healing energy?
I didn't.
I am.
There's nobody.
It's hypothetical.
I didn't say I want to.
It's like wrestling.
I would like to see that tag team in a ring fighting for a championship.
That's what I'm saying.
Salute to JT and Young Miami.
Love them.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Can you imagine that?
They jump on somebody and Saucy Santana run down and help too?
Y'all got to use your imagination here.
No.
That would be entertaining.
You got to tag in Lil Uzi Vert too.
Whoa.
Now we're talking about the sapphiest of savages.
You hear me?
Drop on the Kool's Bomb.
That's a squad.
Lil Uzi, Saucy Santana, and the City Girls.
Don't nobody want no smoke with that one.
Nope.
Nobody want no smoke with that team. That. Nobody want no smoke with that team.
That's a team.
That's a team.
That's a team.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report, I think, I guess.
Maybe.
I think we finished.
All right.
Now, you got a donkey today.
Who you giving your donkey to?
Four after the hour, man.
I don't believe in beating kids.
I don't believe in beating children.
But this is the reason.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
All right. We'll get into that when we come back. All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.

funny shit

you may not agree with
doesn't mean I mean it
who's getting that donkey
that donkey
that donkey
donkey
donkey
donkey donkey donkey of the day right here the breakfast club bitches you can call me the donkey of the day but
like i mean no harm yes donkey of the day for thursday may 19th goes to a 15 year old ohio boy
who has not been named because he's 15 okay uh let's talk about the struggle of putting your kids to bed. Parents, how much of
a struggle is bedtime? Okay. I have young kids, six, three and seven months. So of course they
don't be wanting to go to sleep. But my 13 year old, when it's time for her to go to bed, it's
never a problem. Envy, you got 17 kids. You are contributing to the formula shortage in this
country. You, Nick Cannon and Kiki Wyatt. But have you ever had a problem with any of your teenage
kids wanting to go to sleep?
Teenage kids?
Yeah, your teenage kids.
Like, meaning you told one of your teenage kids to go to bed, and, you know, they didn't listen.
No.
That doesn't mean either.
The 13-year-old has no problem going to sleep.
But in this situation, with this 15-year-old kid in Ohio, him and his dad got into an argument over bedtime.
I guess dad wanted him to go to sleep.
And the 15-year-old said no.
He wasn't having it.
Woo!
Disrespecting your parents at 15 is choosing violence.
Okay?
Especially when you have a 15-year-old son.
Disrespecting your father.
That is choosing violence.
All right?
Parents, we know that feeling too.
You want to tell the little boy, take your ass to sleep.
Okay?
So me and your mom can do nasty things that caused you to be here and the little boy not listening well that's usually when
pops chooses violence okay i would have got slapped in the face all right i either got
backhanded in the mouth or hit with you know whatever my mama or daddy could have gotten
their hands on some of y'all never been beat with an extension cord and then had to go take a bath
afterwards and it shows okay well in this situation the parent the parent wasn't the one who chose violence
it was the 15 year old what what do you mean the 15 year old chose violence exactly
let's go to fox 19 for the report please an argument between a father and son ends with
the father being shot police were called to a home on Holgate Drive in Forest Park just after midnight. They found 45
year old Damon Robinson shot in the
abdomen. A caller to 911
said Robinson was shot by his 14
year old son. Several others
in the home hid in a bedroom until
medics arrived. Robinson's injury
is not believed to be life threatening. It is not
clear if the teen is in custody.
This young man has been charged with shooting his father because his daddy told him to go to bed and he didn't want to.
Now, there is good reasons to shoot your father, but this isn't one of them.
OK, don't look at me like that.
There's reasons.
Father could be abusive.
OK, could be a form of self-defense.
Father could be abusing the mom, sister.
I mean, there are reasons that are valid and make sense, but this isn't one of them.
OK, you can't even tell your kids go to bed without getting shot nowadays.
First of all, who are these 15 year old kids that argue with their parents?
OK, I didn't have those kind of balls when I was 15. Argue with their parents.
That's some new stuff. And the reason it's new was because there used to be a time when the parents chose violence.
OK, you're not arguing with someone who, you know, will go upside your head.
But I guess if you're the kid and, you know, you don't want to bring in the violence, you're going to talk back.
All right. I'm not going to lie. I don't believe in beating my kids.
OK, I would rather talk to my kids, you know, but man, it probably would have served this 15 year old.
Well, they've had to go pick a switch a couple of times in his life.
OK, I know you can't put hands on kids nowadays because they will say it's abuse and all types of other things.
But when a father says and I quote, this is what the father said.
He can't stay with me, your honor.
It's pretty much self-explanatory to see where I'm at.
And you know where he was in a hospital room with medical equipment surrounding him where he's still recovering from the shooting.
OK, the father said, I feel like these little problems been popping up and I feel like it's a slap on the wrist to let him out right now.
Totally understand that. My father did the same to me when I was getting in a lot of trouble.
And, you know, I went to jail.
Let me sit there for a while to get my mind right.
But you know why those little problems keep popping up?
Because that little boy thinks you one of his little friends.
And when the kids think you one of their little friends, things like this happen.
Okay, that's why your parents have to constantly remind you, I'm not one of your little friends.
Okay?
Now, the judge said there's only one way she would consider releasing the teen, and that
is if there's a plan for him to have a place to stay, okay, when he gets out.
But the daddy said, he can't stay in my house.
And can you blame him?
All right?
The kid shot his daddy in the stomach.
All right?
His attorney wanted the teen to turn over to whichever guardian is able to take him to date.
You know how bad you got to be for them to say we don't care what guardian is available to take him to date.
Just take him.
I promise.
As you get older, you start to see who was raised properly.
And so many people lack basic respect.
OK, the Bible says cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother.
Cursed is what the book of Deuteronomy says you will be if you disrespect your father and mother that's
just disrespect i don't know what happens if you shoot your parents please give this 15 year old
kid in ohio the biggest eho amen your parents may not be perfect but they're the most precious gift
god has given you.
All right.
And they're giving you a place to stay.
And all he asked you to do is go to bed at 15 years old.
And your response is to shoot them.
I don't know how you repair that one.
Can't.
I just don't.
I mean, I know you have unconditional love for the kids, but man.
Nope.
Gotta get out.
I already got PTSD.
I already got trust issues.
And now my kids just shot me in the stomach because I told him to go to bed.
Good luck.
At 15?
Mm-mm.
Young man?
Mm-mm.
Might have to figure it out on your own, brother.
Mm-hmm.
I don't think there's enough therapy in the world to fix that one.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Mm-hmm.
Now, let's open up the phone lines.
Usually, we do Ask E, but we couldn't get her connected today.
She's out in Atlanta.
So, we've seen this story on TikTok.
Oh, this is a good one.
All right.
This is a good one.
Now, a 25-year-old, she's being talked about on TikTok like crazy,
is trending because she said that people can't survive on less than $10,000 a month.
Yeah, I saw.
Actually, I got wind of this because I was looking at Worldstar's Instagram,
salute to Worldstar, and I saw a DC Young Fly post that $100,000 a year is definitely good money.
Almost $8,750 a month.
Don't you listen to a mother effer who depend on somebody else to have money to tell you what it is and what ain't.
Now, she's an aspiring musician.
She's, I guess, she makes less than $10,000 a month.
She's saying $117,000 annually is not a lot of money.
And she lives in Arizona.zona she lives in arizona
let's hear it a hundred seventeen thousand dollars a year is ten thousand dollars a month it's not
that i live a lavish lifestyle it's that i live an adult life i'm 25 years old i'm 25 years old
there's you cannot survive on ten thousand dollars a month i can't i can't she's clearly living above
her means let's talk about it what's's the question? What are we asking?
Can you live off $117,000 annually?
Is $10,000 a month not enough to survive on?
I would love to hear people that say no, they can't.
I just want to hear from people, period.
Because I mean, let's be honest.
As a kid growing up, my mom and dad, I don't even think they made over $100,000 as a kid growing up.
And we lived in a nice house.
I went to a nice school.
But people can say that was a long time ago. That was the late 1900s.
Okay?
Okay.
That's a totally different time.
Late 1900s, totally different time.
Inflation, things cost a lot more now.
So I don't even want to do that.
Okay.
Because I could easily say, hey, my mom, the most she ever made was $30,000 a year in
Mouse Corner, South Carolina, raising four or five of us.
You know what I mean?
But that's the 1900s.
Totally different time.
But teachers make how much now?
About $40,000, $50,000 now.
That is true.
Right?
And let's say you work for sanitation starting out, or if you're a police officer starting out, you make about $50,000, $60,000 a grand.
That's less than $117,000 if you're married.
And I know teachers that own a house.
Hey, man.
But let's talk about it.
800-585-1051.
All right?
We'll take your calls when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's topic time.
Pick up the phone, baby.
Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we usually do Ask Yee here, but we couldn't get her connected.
She's in Atlanta.
So we're talking about this 25-year-old TikToker.
She's known as Liv B.
She's from Arizona.
She said that she can't survive on less than $10,000 a month and claiming that $117,000 annually is not enough money.
She bugging.
She says she has to spend $2,000 on rent
and that she eats $2,000 worth of food a month
and a host of other things and that she can't afford it.
I say that's bull crap.
I think that's bull crap.
I don't think uh
i don't think a lot of people make over a hundred thousand dollars a year for only 30 i i just i did
some research and by research i mean google only 30.7 percent of the country makes more than a
hundred thousand dollars you know i mean 30.7 percent of the country makes more than a hundred
thousand dollars she sounds crazy that's not a lot of people you know i think the thing here is um it's a hundred thousand dollars a year ten thousand
dollars i guess i don't know how much you make ten thousand dollars a year is 12 months is 120
thousand dollars a year okay modest taxes is probably around 70 bring between 70 75 000 that
is yes that's more than enough to live okay and all of this location matters this we know but it's
also just about how you choose
to live folks got to act their wage correct okay could i live off a hundred thousand dollars a
year yes not only could i i've done it before hell when i worked with wendy williams smooth
wendy williams i made 70 grand a year okay here in new york city in jersey when i have my own
morning show in philadelphia i made 75 000 a year when i was doing radio in columbia south carolina
i was making like six dollars an hour getting 40 a week. Here's the problem with this young lady.
Everything you said about her expenses, you said she spends $22,000 on rent and she eats at least
$2,000 worth of food a month. And I read that she likes to travel. Well, guess what? Cut your food
expenses. Maybe you shouldn't eat out as much. Maybe you should start buying groceries, even
though groceries are expensive. Maybe you should start buying groceries and cooking at the house.
Maybe you don't need to travel as much. And if you do travel groceries. Even though groceries are expensive, maybe you should start buying groceries and cooking at the house. Maybe you don't need to
travel as much. And if you do travel, maybe you don't need to travel to these places that you're
traveling. Find some places that you can afford to go. Instead of $2,000 in rent, maybe find a
place that's $1,500 a month. You know what I'm saying? Well, I will say this. When I first started
working at Power 105, my salary was $66,000 a year. I got paid the after minimum. And I still
survived. I lived in New Jersey uh i made it work we made
it work and my wife didn't work and we had two kids i did make it work um but let's go to the
phone lines hello who's this this shay hey shay talk to us shay okay my shit is crazy okay because
i make a little bit over four thousand a month i get six kids and we we be at Car J every day. Ow. I got rent, car note, insurance, all that.
And we still make it.
And you said you got six kids.
You make less than $5,000.
So what's that?
About $50,000 a year, and you make it work.
And we make it work, and we balling.
Where you at?
Where you at?
What's the location?
I'm in Detroit.
Detroit?
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you, mama.
I don't know what she doing either, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, Chairman. All right. Thank you, mama. I don't know what she's doing either, man.
Hello.
Who's this?
Hey, good morning, Chan, man.
Good morning.
Hey, what's up, Envy?
What's up, Charlamagne?
Peace, kid.
I heard that Angelo wasn't there, but hello to her as well.
What's your thoughts, brother?
Yeah, I was just answering the question, is it easy or can you live off $100,000 a year?
Yeah.
I agree with the young lady.
I'm not trying to be greedy or anything, but I agree with her.
I'm sorry.
$100K is like, it's not getting it done.
Where are you calling from?
I'm calling from Maryland.
So you don't think you could live off $100,000 a year in Maryland?
Tell me what you think you'd be missing.
Well, you got the bare basics.
I mean, you still need a roommate.
You got a car.
You got a MetroCard. You got a car. You got a MetroCard.
You got your spot.
You got food. But
I mean, like, you can't get your
bottle of 1738.
You can't, you know what I'm saying,
get you a pack of cigarettes.
Well, first of all, maybe you shouldn't drink
1738. Maybe you need to get you some VSOP.
Maybe get you some Remy VSOP instead of getting
1738. You ever thought about that?
You know, it's just like my paycheck just came in.
It's going to be gone by 5 p.m. tonight.
But this is the thing is how are you living, right?
Now, I'm looking at Maryland right now.
It says the median home value is about $400,000.
You even got to look at home.
What's the rent?
What's the rent?
What's the rent?
No, that's about, yeah.
What's your rent? It's about $21,000, $22,000.
Okay, and how much you bring home a month?
Monthly.
I mean, good.
I'm not comfortable talking about it on the radio.
Nobody knows you, bro. God damn.
How much you make a month?
I probably bring home about
$5,000, $ five, six a month.
Okay, $6,000.
Let's say $2,100.
Do the math, Fendi.
So that's $6,000.
So after taxes, you make $6,000 a month, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
So rent is $2,100 a month.
$2,100 for rent.
So now you got $4,000 and some change left.
What you doing with that $4,000 and some change?
All right, real quick.
Real quick.
I've had a conversation with my wife about having another child.
She's like, we can't afford another child.
Daycare is $500 a week.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's $2,000.
So now you're down to $2,000 a month minus your car and bills.
So now you've got about $1,000 a month.
Right?
What would you need to live comfortably, sir?
What do you think you would need to live?
And I don't mean like extravagant, balling.
I'm just living comfortably.
Your bills are paid.
Rent paid. Comfortably? All right. Well, comfortably, yes. like extravagant balling i'm talking i'm just living comfortably your bills are paid rent paid
comfortably all right well comfortably yes i can see you doing that on 100 comfortably if you don't
have like if you don't like to go out with your socialize with your buddies and 100k probably can
get that done but i agree with the young lady 20 that she's 25 years old uh right now i'm 35 and i
say this this hundred ain't kicking it like as much as everybody says
six figures will be my goal six seconds will be the goal and i don't agree that more money solves
problems but i just don't feel like you know i'm saying like sometimes i don't even be having the
gas to put in my car to get to work i understand that car insurance i paid a car note and they'd
be like man how you gonna get to work i'm like man crap i got like five dollars in the account
go ahead i understand that.
I respect your situation more than that young lady's, though.
Because that young lady, you got a family.
You know what I'm saying?
You got a family.
You got kids to take care of.
I understand that.
How much do you drink a day, bro?
How much do you drink a day?
What did you say?
How much do you drink a day?
How much?
Oh, man, you sound like a Charlemagne therapist.
You sound like my therapist.
No, I'm just asking.
You're the first guy to the first... We talked about bills.
The first thing that came out your mouth was a bottle of...
You need that 1738.
I get it.
You heard the man say his check gonna be gone today.
I want a drink, too.
But the first thing that came out his mouth, he didn't say rent.
He didn't say car.
The first thing that came out his mouth was, I got to buy my...
I get it.
Your situation is different.
I understand you, sir.
You got two kids.
You got a family.
Your situation is different.

can you live off of ten thousand dollars a month let's talk about it it's the breakfast club good
morning for the lack of time i get around my friend i know it now
call me and your opinion to the Breakfast Club Topic. Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking, can you live off of $100,000 a month?
All right?
No, boy.
I'm sorry.
If you tell me you can't live off $100,000 a month, I'm calling somebody to have you arrested.
$10,000 a month or $100,000 a year.
That's what we're asking.
What's your name?
Hi, my name is Aisha.
Aisha, can you live off of $10,000 a month?
I've managed to do it for most of my life.
Talk to us.
And you got six kids, right?
I'm a mother of six.
I'm 47, so I have six children.
And you made it happen.
I made it happen because I'm creative in my faith.
I know I don't need to leave my material things.
Don't make me happy.
Don't make my children happy.
Having family and doing things that are happy and being involved in the community.
That's real.
Okay.
That's real.
Yeah, I bought my first house when I was 26 years old.
It was only $45,900.
So even buying a house for under $250,000, that's been a reality in the world.
Well, not post-pandemic, but prior to the pandemic, it is a reality.
No, you're right.
Hello, who's this?
This is Jay and Indy.
Jay, what's up, man?
Can you live off of less than $10,000 a month, bro?
I believe I can. I got five kids. I own four houses and I'm spending
$8,903.44
a month. How do you do that?
Owning four homes? I have no mortgage.
I have mortgage on one home. Okay.
That's great. How was you able to pay
more loans? That's what people would say. Actually,
if you double your payments,
whatever your payment is,
and you double it six months out of the year,
you're having your house
paid off in 10 to 15 years
instead of 30.
Okay.
I don't want to talk to you.
You got money.
I don't want to talk to the people
that's trying to figure it out.
Okay?
I don't want to talk to this person
that owns four houses.
Well, what's the moral of the story, man?
The moral of the story for me is, man,
just simply act your wage.
You know what I'm saying?
And remember,
comparison is the thief of joy.
A lot of times we look at whatever everybody else is doing, especially with this social media
stuff. And we say we should be living like that. But the reality is they not even living like that.
So can you live comfortably off $100,000 a year? Yes. As long as you not living beyond your means,
that young lady is 25 years old, 25 years old, living in Arizona, and she's making $117,000
a year, if she can't
live off that, then she just needs to figure
out how to budget her money better.
It's really that simple. I agree with you.
We got rumors on the way. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

Dropping the clues bombs for my guy DC.
But that was at his place of residence?
That's what it seems like.
Yeah, it seemed like that was at his place of residence, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get him, though.
I'm sure they went into the car because they knew it was DC's car.
They probably was looking for something.
They think DC going to have something in there.
Absolutely.
I'm glad that, you know, that situation only ended in a break window and whatever.
Correct.
If they took anything.
Yep.
Now, XXXTentacion, his mother is releasing a documentary and it's a trailer.
It's on Hulu.
She actually reached out to me and Yoshaulamay.
She wanted us to see it about a month ago, a couple of months ago.
Shout out to Ruggs.
But we couldn't see it.
But here's the trailer to it.
You know how you got that little voice in your head and it be like, yo, don't do that.
I don't think he had that.
Y'all know that I'm successful?
Suck my d***.
The thing about his fame, it started with this horrific, alleged crime.
There was a lot of jealousy.
I could hear them fighting.
Somebody was getting hit.
He did not want that image to follow him around for the rest of his life.
I apologize.
I haven't been getting the help I really want.
To do what he's done in two years, whether you loved it or whether you hate it, he's had to acknowledge it.
Yeah, so the initial release is supposed to be a couple of years ago,
but now they're looking like it's supposed to come out this weekend.
That's horrible, man.
Salute to the family of XXS.
Tentachi Yon, that little brother didn't even get the opportunity to turn the corner,
you know, and ended up getting killed for what?
Mm-hmm.
You know? Why?
It's going to be shown in some movie theaters, too, so just check your local list and so you might be able to see that in some movie theaters.
I know they're playing it on 42nd Street here in New York City.
All right.
Very, very sad.
Now, you know what I hate sometimes?
Sometimes I hate these blogs, right?
I'm going to tell you why.
LeBron James' son.
Yesterday, he was going out to the prom and they posted his prom date.
And she's a Caucasian woman, I believe.
That's what it looks like.
But the blogs just wanted to ish. Oh, this Danny. And I don his prom date. And she's a Caucasian woman, I believe. That's what it looks like. But the blogs just wanted to ish.
Oh, this Danny.
And I don't understand it.
So there was a lot of people talking about him and his date.
She was a white girl.
Because she's a white girl.
Well, first of all, you don't follow the blogs, you know, for situations like that.
You go to Dr. Umar's page.
That's why I got hip to this situation.
Dr. Lee posted it?
Did he? Oh, my goodness. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on hip to this situation. Did he?
Oh, come on.
You know Dr. Omar don't miss a beat.
Especially when that beat is white.
Oh my goodness.
But I don't like them doing that to people's kids though. I think that's whack. Yeah, I think it's very
very whack. I think it's garbage.
Don't do that to people's kids. But I mean, I guess, you know, your kids
growing up in the spotlight,
stuff like that is going to happen, but I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like
it either. I mean, the man is just going to
the young man is just going to his prom. He's trying
to enjoy his prom night. You don't even know what the relationship
or what it is and why does it even matter to people? Why does
it even care? That's not your son. That's not your child.
That's not you. Mind your own business.
Nah, I thought I threw him on there. I looked at him. You out your damn
mind. I don't see nothing. You ain't looking.
He erased it. I don't see nothing. You see anything
on there? Hold on. He must have erased it. He must have. I know I see nothing. You ain't looking. He erased it. I don't see nothing. You see anything on there? Hold on.
He must have erased it.
He must have.
I know.
I saw it.
Hold on.
Damn, he did.
He erased it.
He had two of them.
Really?
He did.
All right.
Now, shout out to my brother DJ Clue.
Clue is doing...
What podcast is that?
What's the name of that podcast?
I think it's Mav Hoffa.
Mav Hoffa.
He was on the podcast
talking about uh irv gotti and jay-z old school disses and how uh jay-z had to change some of his
lyrics when he was battling naz i hope this has some some bars that were hard irv gotti made him
change them and i was like all right i'm like i'm because i'm like i'm like i said i'm neutral
right so i heard it i'm like oh that's crazy and i'm like nah nah you need to go to sprax i'm like, remember, like I said, I'm neutral. Right. So I heard it. I'm like, oh, that's crazy. And I'm like, nah, nah, you need to go to Sprouts.
I'm like, all right.
I left alone.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
That's what I mean.
Yeah, he talks about that.
He also talks about, you know, Clue was cool with Nas and Jay and where he stood during
the beef back and forth.
When Jay and Nas was going through what they was going through, how difficult was it for
you? I didn't even realize that the freestyle Nas gave me was him going at Hov.
About the Kings?
I didn't even realize what he was saying on there until way, way after.
I didn't even realize that he was throwing shots.
Because you know, n**** don't say names, so it's like, it could be-
But at the time I was like, oh yeah, he talking about Hov. That's crazy yeah yeah i mean how did they how did they get back to you that was the eye for
our freestyle hove never even mentioned this to me to be honest yeah he talks about the the old
schools uh battling back and forth you know a lot of people don't know i got a lot of those
rockefeller mixtapes back then because clue played the middle pause pause pause he didn't want to go
in between them so they would come to me to play the records. And that's how the Rockefeller mixtapes were created.
Shout out to Lenny S.
Shout out to Dame Dash at the time,
Hov and Biggs.
So that's how I was doing all those Rockefeller mixtapes at the time.
Because Clue didn't want to play either side.
Salute to the legendary Clue.
I'm not going to lie,
I feel bad for LeBron and Savannah though, man.
Going back there?
Why?
Yeah, only just because.
It's just like, you know,
as parents,
our job is to protect our families.
But you just know there's some things you can't protect them from.
And, you know, when you growing up in the spotlight like they are and people see him just going to a prom, something as regular as a prom, that becomes a thing.
I wouldn't want to see my kid all over the blogs and everything else.
And people having all these different opinions.
Not for that, because you know why the blogs posted it.
But the sad thing about it is you look at LeBron and they live in an affluent area, I'm sure, somewhere above Beverly Hills, and their kids probably go to school in Beverly Hills.
What's the majority of the kids that's going to be there?
I don't know.
I don't agree with that.
I mean, it is.
I mean, the truth of the matter is I just don't like them seeing.
I don't even want to have the discussion because I don't like seeing people's kids out there like that.
I really don't, because I can only imagine how apparent that makes LeBron.
You don't mind the picture because that's fine,
but it's the commentary that they're pushing in the blogs.
No.
Dr. Umar Johnson.
No.
I want my daughter to bring black men home,
but that has nothing to do with nothing.
Okay.
My point is I don't like seeing people's kids out there.
Okay.
I don't.
All right.
I don't.
I don't like seeing it.
I know how that makes you feel as
a parent. What? Because your job is you want to protect
your family. And you're seeing all
these unsolicited opinions, all of these people
coming at your kid. I know that
has to irritate them.
Salute to the James family, man.
