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.
What is that?
Bullets.

Get your ass up.
Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, We are still quarantined. We are not violating any social distancing laws. And I'm not going to lie.
Mondays is difficult after watching The Last Dance,
which is the Bulls' Michael Jordan documentary.
It's a little later when you start when you watch that.
It's not difficult if you go to bed right after.
But that's not what happens.
What happens is, you know, you stay up a little bit,
and you think about it
and you talk about it with people and then you end up watching the goddamn rerun.
That's what I did last night.
I'm telling you, man, I walk away from that thing saying one thing and one thing only.
Michael Jordan is absolutely the greatest of all time.
The Bulls were an amazing team.
And I just asked myself, Jerry Krause, why?
Yeah.
Like, why?
Like, why?
Like, why?
Phil Jackson must have smashed his wife or something, yo. Phil Jackson
smashed his mom. Phil Jackson did something
to Jerry Krause that we don't know about
that won't be in the last dance. One day
somebody will reveal it to us
because that don't make no sense to me.
Why would you break up that team, man? Why would you
break up that greatness, that chemistry, everything
that they had? Why would you break that up?
And he underestimated Michael
Jordan's love for
Phil Jackson because Michael Jordan told him, I'm not playing
for another coach. So if you get rid
of Phil Jackson, I'm out.
Michael Jackson was out on his ass.
Michael Jordan.
Who did I say? Michael Jackson.
Another great MJ, but
Michael Jordan was out on his ass. He told him
I'm not playing for another coach.
If you're getting rid of Phil Jackson, I'm out.
Right.
Michael was out.
Bye.
He was out.
Yeah, he definitely was out.
Yeah, but it's a great, great, great, great documentary.
I mean, I'm watching my son watch it, and if you have kids that are into sports,
it just shows you how much he had to put into being so great.
A lot of people don't see that side.
Yeah, they don't see the process.
No, not at all.
Great, great, great.
But you can't be Michael Jordan, though.
You can be good.
You can be the best version of you.
Correct.
Michael Jordan just had a unique set of gifts and a unique set of abilities,
and he just unlocked his full potential in a way that a lot of people don't unlock their full potential in anything.
Right.
Nonetheless, basketball, just anything.
Correct.
All right.
Now, we have a special guest joining us this morning, right, E?
Yes.
So, over the weekend, Jennifer Williams from Basketball Wise put up a post saying that she had gotten conned by somebody who got her Range Rover
and that he's a professional con man. Well, since then,
there's been about 20 people who have reached out and contacted her and her attorney regarding this
person. So we're going to talk about how this actually happened to her. We also have somebody
else on the call who it happened to. She had written an article about it about 70 years ago.
And we also have her attorney. And they're going to just talk about right now, a lot of people are
going through issues where there's fraudulent things happening.
They're trying to figure out how can I go about this?
How can I report this to the authorities?
And sometimes it's very difficult.
So we're going to get all into that.
But it's a crazy story.
All right.
Well, somebody stole her car.
Well, I guess we'll get all the details a little later.
You're not just going to steal my car now.
Things like this happen.
It's easy to say that.
And then people are like, oh, you're so stupid.
How did you let that happen?
But he's a professional common and he's done this to many people.
Yeah, I got so many questions.
But all right, we'll talk about it later.
We'll talk about it later.
Now, front page news.
What are we starting off with, E?
Well, there are some new possible symptoms of coronavirus that the CDC has added to the list.
This is important because if you want to get tested, you have to have some of these symptoms.
So they've added six new symptoms to the list.
All right.
Geesh.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting off, Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Where are we starting off, Yee?
Well, we're going to talk about the six new possible symptoms of coronavirus.
According to the CDC, they've added these to their list.
And those are chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and a loss of taste or smell.
So that is important because you have to have some of these symptoms
in order to even get tested.
And they said that you may be most infectious in the days
before you start showing symptoms, according to studies.
But most testing sites do require you to have that symptom
before they actually will go ahead and issue that.
I thought we already knew that, you know, the taste and smell
and I thought the headaches, I thought we knew that already.
Well, we've been hearing things of people saying that they've had those symptoms, but now it's added to the list from the CDC.
So that list is just an important list in order to go to the testing site and say, this is what I'm having.
And now that is considered to be, you know, because I've heard people say they've gone to try to get tested and they had the symptoms, but they couldn't.
And they wouldn't let them. So now that's official.
They said there's also...
That makes zero sense.
That makes zero sense, especially being that they know that people who are asymptomatic,
people who don't show symptoms, you know, can carry it.
So if you know that, then they should be testing everybody who wants to be tested.
You should have to listen.
You got symptoms.
There's some new things happening like purple or blue lesions
on your feet and toes.
Most commonly in children
and young adults,
they're calling it COVID toes.
And they said they can't pinpoint
the condition,
but some are saying perhaps
it is inflammation
because of a clotting of blood vessels
or a thrombotic disorder
known as purpura fulminans.
All right.
Now they are talking about opening up
these practice facilities for the NBA,
and that's going to be a state-by-state.
So some states that are easing their stay-at-home orders
will allow certain teams to reopen their practice facilities,
and they're saying that is starting May 1st.
And that's in areas where social distancing restrictions
have been eased.
They said group workouts will remain prohibited, but players will be allowed to use the facilities for individual workouts on a voluntary basis.
You know what I was thinking over the weekend?
I think that the world didn't know.
I wasn't sure exactly what coronavirus was.
I think they believe corona was extremely, extremely fatal.
So they did the right thing and shut the world down.
But I think they've realized after doing antibody testing
that a lot more people have had it,
which also shows them it's not as fatal as they thought it was.
And now that they know that it's not as fatal as they thought it was,
they're trying to just open up different cities little by little
to get us back in the world.
Because it's not like they can come out and just tell us,
hey, we overreacted.
No, I don't think they're overreacting
with the amount of deaths
that we had.
I don't think that was
an overreaction.
Yeah, but when you look
at all the antibody testing
that they've been doing,
they realize that a lot more
people have had it
than they originally thought.
So that shows them
that it wasn't as fatal
as they once thought
it could be.
Because you got to think,
they was talking about
250,000, 300,000 people
dying by August.
Right, and I think that would have happened if they didn't shut down the city and make people stay in the house.
The way that people were contracting this thing, I definitely think that would have happened.
I mean, you still got, how many people have died?
You know, in the U.S. alone, you had over 53,000 people that died.
That's still a lot of people.
Yeah, it is.
But once they did the antibody testing and realized a lot more people had it than they originally thought,
then they realized like, oh, well, maybe it isn't as fatal as we thought it was going to be.
No, it's still fatal.
Well, Dr. Fauci says the U.S. should double its testing over the next several weeks.
And that is just to find out how many people actually really do have it.
They're doing 1.5 to 2 million tests per week.
And they said we probably should get that up to twice that as we get into the next several weeks.
And Donald Trump is saying he might cancel coronavirus news briefings.
He's saying now, what is the purpose?
People were upset about what he had to say about Lysol and trying that out.
And here's what Donald Trump had to say about his Lysol comments about actually injecting Lysol into yourself.
I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would
happen. Disinfectant for doing this maybe on the hands would work. And I was asking
the question of the gentleman who was there yesterday, Bill, because when they say that
something will last three or four hours or six hours, but if the sun is out or if they
use disinfectant, it goes away in less than a minute. But I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about
disinfectant on the inside.
I told you I couldn't wait to hear him denied and he didn't say what we all heard him say.
But that's Trump.
And there has been an uptick in calls after those disinfectant comments.
According to New York City, they said their poison control center received a higher than normal number of calls in the day after he speculated that injecting household disinfectants could be a coronavirus treatment for people.
I mean, listen, only Trump supporters are stupid enough to try that remedy at home.
OK, because because drinking Clorox is a choice, especially if you're an adult.
Yeah, people are scared, though, when they hear their president say, hey,
this can stop coronavirus.
There's some people out there that might just
try it. They are. That's stupid.
That's stupidity. That means you're dumb.
That means you're ignorant. Okay, only
somebody who supports Trump
would try something like that because you had to be stupid
to vote for him and you got to be stupid to drink bleach
to think that that's going to kill coronavirus.
Well, as you know, Lysol has issued statements letting you know, do not ingest this, please.
Come on, man.
Think about what world we in where Lysol got a release statement saying that.
Where people got to actually tweet, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you shouldn't drink disinfectants in order to kill coronavirus.
Think about what kind of world we live in that things like that have to be said.
No, you're absolutely right.
But when people are scared and your president says something,
people will do whatever it takes that they think will cure or fix this COVID-19.
No, blame it on exactly what it is, stupidity, ignorance.
Come on, man. I think we can all agree that it is irresponsible for the president
to say something like that regardless of if people believe it or not.
It's dumb.
It's past irresponsible.
Irresponsible is you forgot to take the trash out. This is past irresponsible. It's stupid. It's dumb. It's past irresponsible. Irresponsible is you forgot to take the trash out.
This is past irresponsible.
It's stupid.
It's ignorant.
It's dumb.
Call it what it is.
And that's your front page news.

Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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 are 55 gallons of water for 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? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

I just lost my mother-in-law.
Just lost my mother-in-law Saturday, man.
Due to this coronavirus,
my sister-in-law is also in the MUSC
fighting for her life.
My wife, who's a
director of adult education,
she also contracted this coronavirus.
Yo, I got a six-year-old daughter, man,
and she also got it and tested positive.
Yeah, man, I got a niece, a nephew,
but two nieces and a nephew.
And I just want, you know,
maybe I can get the world to come together and send a prayer for her, man,
because at this moment, the car is going through it.
Damn, I'm definitely going to put a prayer up in the air for the car.
Let me ask you a question.
Does the six-year-old have any symptoms?
Yo, my six-year-old don't have any symptoms.
Her name is Janaya Carter.
She don't have any symptoms.
My nephew, he's DJ.
He don't have symptoms.
How old is he?
He's like 12.
He's 12.
And I got another niece.
She's nine.
And, you know, all these folks live in the same house.
And, like I said, my wife went down there to help them, you know,
because she a twin and she love her family.
And, unfortunately, you know, we lost my mother-in-law Saturday, man.
And I just want to give a, you know, to let the people know that this thing is really for real,
especially the people of color, because they're not taking it as seriously as they should, man.
And I need to get that off my chest this morning, man,
because I'm just feeling a certain kind of way, brother.
I understand, Larry.
How old is your mother-in-law?
My mother-in-law is like 74, man.
I'm telling you, this lady was in great shape.
It's like when she went to the hospital,
and matter of fact, she drove herself to the hospital the first
time that she went and got,
you know, and got diagnosed.
And the second time, she started
having a little scrap though. She went back to the
hospital. My wife took her.
She walked in the hospital, man.
And like, when she got on this ventilator,
stuff just went, stuff just went
down. I don't know if her body
could take it or not, man.
Damn.
And I'm so worried about my wife
because she had to come home out the hospital
to try to get everything in order
because her twin is down there on the ventilator
and she don't really know what's going on, man.
And, yo, I just need for the world to pray for us, man.
I'm going to put one up for you.
I'm putting one up for you as soon as I hang this goddamn phone up with you.
I'm praying right now.
Hey, Charlamagne, you my homeboy.
You from Carolina?
Yes, sir.
So you know what time it is, man.
And we don't know nothing else.
We know how to pray, man.
That's right.
And fry some fish. Right. And I want to pray, man. That's right. And fry some fish.
Right. And I want to tell you
this one thing right here. I was in the convenience
store, you know,
after my mother-in-law passed, I went to the convenience
store and I had my mask, my gloves on
and these two young guys, two young black
boys, like maybe like 14 or 15,
so they're in the store joking like,
oh, black people can't
get the corona and all that. Oh, Lord. I had to check these kids is still joking like, oh, black people can't get the corona and all that.
Oh, Lord.
I had to check these kids, man, like, yo, brother.
I said, yo, that's not true because I just lost someone behind the coronavirus.
So don't say stuff like that, man.
Don't say stupid stuff that don't make sense because we are the one, the white people catching the flu and we catching the corona.
It just ain't adding up.
Yeah, it's very hard.
It's very hard for when somebody says to you black people can't get corona.
It's very hard not to tell them.
Yeah, man, especially if you take a shot of bleach a day.
It's very hard not to tell them that when they say stuff like that.
Well, thank you for checking in, bro.
We'll definitely throw some prayers up for you, man.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed,
we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Blast.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, bro? Get it off your chest.
Man, I'm calling in because you're all the man up on here saying that only Trump supporters are going to be stupid enough to inject themselves with Lysol.
I don't think that's the case.
I don't think it's just a Trump supporter that's going to do it.
If you're stupid enough to do that,
regardless of who says it, it doesn't matter
who tells you to do that.
Common sense should tell you, don't do that.
Can we agree on
one thing?
If you do it, you're stupid, right?
Yeah, I agree on that.
But I'm just saying, to go at somebody
that's a Trump supporter and say,
well, only a Trump supporter would do that.
Nah, man, there's plenty of
Democrats out there that are just stupid.
I mean, just stupid.
That is true, but I want Trump to lose in November, so I'm
taking shots at him. Can you understand that?
I feel that. I feel that,
but I don't think that really
any politician's going to be that great.
They're all stupid.
I agree. That I agree with
as well. Well, thank you, brother.
But they're not stupid enough to drink disinfectant to kill coronavirus.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Jessica.
I'm calling from South Florida.
Good morning.
And I just want to talk a little bit about the good morning.
The 911 dispatch is that nobody seems to notice in all of this that's going on.
Everybody's talking about the mental health impact of the frontline workers,
like the officers and the firefighters, but we're the ones that take the call.
We're considered the first responders.
And I just want everyone to keep that in mind, these places where they're like,
oh, we're only allowing first responders in.
We're working with the officers and the firefighters.
So we have families at home that need supplies,
and we're sharing the same fears of the people who are calling us
and also assisting the officers and the firefighters
by getting help to people who call.
So I just want to give a shout-out to all the 911 dispatchers
that are out there across the nation.
You're not forgotten.
Absolutely.
How do y'all protect yourselves?
I mean, because the only people y'all got to be around is each other, right?
Yeah, and a lot of the call centers are
very close. You're sitting in close
proximity. We can't really
social distance.
So we have to wear masks
like everybody else.
But we're talking all day long. We're talking
to each other. We're talking on the phone.
So we use hand sanitizers.
We clean down our workspace.
And that's all we can really do.
You know what I always wondered?
Who do 911 folks call?
Like if something happened at the facility you work at to somebody,
who do y'all call?
The police.
The actual police?
We call our officers to come up there.
Y'all have a direct number?
No, we would get on the radio and just raise them and have them come upstairs.
Oh, gotcha. So y'all have people on the
facility. Yeah, the same offices that
we dispatch to the community. They would
dispatch to their own place.
Yeah, but...
So hold on, the 911 center is located at the
police department? A lot of them are.
If there's a smaller agency, at least in South
Florida, the smaller agencies
have what they call PSAP,
Public Service Answering Points,
that are located within police departments.
But then the counties, which are the sheriff's offices,
they have, you know, regional locations
because they handle a larger, you know, area.
So a lot of them are located in the police department.
Got you.
Okay.
Thank you, Mama.
Well, be safe out there.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes, and we're going to talk about a couple of different things.
First of all, we'll talk about 2 Chainz opening his restaurant in Atlanta.
People had some issues with that,
so we'll tell you what decision was finally made.
Also, Eminem talks about an awkward moment with Michael Jordan.
All right, we'll get into that when we
come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report with
Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Yes, so we told you last week
that 2 Chainz was planning
to reopen his restaurants in Atlanta.
Since he's able to do that,
they were supposed to reopen
today, but it looks like they are
not going to do that. According to
2 Chainz's business partner,
Snoop Dillard, he said, after careful consideration,
we are not going to open
our restaurants today. It has not officially
been decided when we will start having dine-in
service. So you can still take food out,
but they won't be having dine-in service. A lot
of people didn't think it was a great idea
at this point in time,
even though the governor gave the
okay for businesses to start sales again.
I'm glad he changed his mind.
Yeah, I wonder if he feels like that's the right
decision. Because now you got like
80 employees, so now you're going to have to fire or furlough some people feels like that's the right decision. Because now he's got like 80 employees,
so now he's going to have to fire or furlough some people.
So that's going to be hard.
So I'm sure it's a tough decision either way.
Right.
So let's talk about Michael Jordan.
Because as you know, the last dance parts three and four
were on last night on ESPN.
Now, a lot of people are telling stories about their interactions
with Michael Jordan.
One person who told his story was Eminem.
And here's what he had to say when he was discussing an awkward joke.
We were talking about doing some kind of shoe like together.
Yeah, I was on the phone with him.
We were talking and and like everything was cool.
Like he's super cool.
Like until we get to the end of the phone call and I said, yo, man, when are you going to come to Detroit so I can dunk on you?
And it was crickets.
I don't remember exactly what he said, but I think he just kind of was like.
And I remember getting off the phone going, oh, my God, I think I might have just blew it.
You know, Eminem is a very clever lyricist who has said things in raps we've never heard before.
But I guarantee you, MJ has heard that
when you're going to let me dunk on you joke a million times.
But he ain't hear the part where he said,
when you're going to come to Detroit and let me dunk on you.
Either way, it's a joke that I'm sure he's heard a million times.
People probably grab a basketball around Michael and,
let's go, Michael, let's go, and dribble around him.
I'm sure he's seen that a million times.
People probably also get a little starstruck around Michael Jordan
and make that joke too because I think certain people, you get awkward
and you're like, uh, and you make that type of joke.
It's like when I saw Prince and I said to Prince, you know,
I was raised Jehovah's Witness as well.
That's what that was.
That was an awkward, stupid-ass joke.
I'm sure he's never heard that one before, though.
I'm sure no fan ever came up to Prince and said that, though.
That's a damn lie.
Are you crazy?
Let's get into the actual documentary that was
on last night. So,
we got to see a really great moment
when the Bulls beat the Cavs
and Jordan made that
winning shot in the last couple of seconds.
Nobody thought it was possible. And the reason
why was because they put the wrong person
to guard Jordan. Listen to this.
You know, they had Craig Elon on me at the time, which, you know, honestly was a mistake.
Because the guy that played me better was Ron Harper.
We up by one.
I said, coach, I got MJ.
So the coach tells me, I'm going to put Elo on MJ.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
We drew a play where I was coming to the ball,
but I only had time enough to get one dribble
and get a jump shot off.
So I was doing everything I can to get the ball.
The inbounds pass comes in to Jordan.
Here's Michael at the foul line.
A shot on Eno.
Good!
The Bulls win it!
Why you say nobody thought it was possible?
Everybody knew that the ball was going to Michael Jordan.
That's what Michael Jordan was known for.
But there was basically like one second left,
so I don't think that they thought that it could possibly happen.
That's the last second thing.
I mean, they were down by one.
That's what Michael Jordan was known for.
But I think Jordan would have made that shot over anybody that was guarding him,
honestly.
That's what Jordan was known for.
I know that the wrong guy was guarding Jordan,
but I think he would have made that shot anyway.
I mean, that was Michael Jordan. I mean, regardless, have made that shot anyway. I mean, that was Michael Jordan.
I mean, regardless, that was an incredible shot.
Hell yeah, it was.
Absolutely.
It could have went either way.
All right.
Now, also, Michael Jordan said that he was not a Phil Jackson fan at first, and that's
because he liked, you know, having the ball and Phil Jackson was taking the ball out of
his hands.
I wasn't a Phil Jackson fan when he first came in, you know, because he was coming in
and take the ball out of my hands.
Doug put the ball in my hands.
The triangle offense is set so that there's a key pass that creates motion,
and then there's 33 different types of options that come out of that single pass.
You know, everybody has an opportunity to touch the ball,
but I didn't want Bill Cartwright to have the ball with five seconds left.
There were so many times thats used to yell at me,
saying, move the ball, move the ball.
There's just no iron team.
It's an iron win.
Understandable.
Until you actually buy into his game plan
and realize what his game plan is
and realize his game plan helps the whole team,
which ultimately helps you.
All right, now here is Isaiah Thomas
talking about why they wouldn't shake the Bulls' hands,
the Pistons wouldn't shake the Bulls' hands after they lost.
That was the only time that I think I had ever been swept.
As we're coming out of the game, Lambeer said, you know,
we're not shaking their hands.
Knowing what we know now and the aftermath of what took place,
I think all of us would have stopped and said, hey, congratulate,
like they do now.
Hey, congratulate. Love you, man. Love you. Hey, congratulate you. I mean, we would have stopped and said, hey, congratulate, like they do now.
Hey, congratulate.
Love you, man.
Love you.
Hey, congratulate you.
I mean, we would have did it.
Of course we would have done it.
But during that period of time, that's just not how it was passed.
When you lost, you left the floor.
The best part of that situation is that's not on Jordan.
Like Jordan don't have to forgive them.
They did that to themselves.
They chose not to shake the bull's hands.
They drew that line in the sand. They created that them. They did that to themselves. They chose not to shake the bull's hands. They drew that line in the sand.
They created that energy.
So keep that same energy.
That ain't on Michael at all.
That ain't on none of the bulls.
The Pistons did that.
Pistons made their bed, and now they got a lie in it.
Period.
All right, so what does Michael Jordan think about Isaiah Thomas?
Well, here's his response.
Whatever he says now, you know it wasn't his true actions then. You know, there's time enough to think about it.
Or the reaction of the public that's kind of changed his perspective on it.
You can show me anything you want.
There's no way you can convince me he wasn't a asshole.
Yeah, I agree.
You got time to think about it.
Don't change up now.
I didn't F with you then.
I don't F with you now.
It is what it is.
We ain't got to F with each other.
I didn't do that to you.
Like, you can't.
Don't come to me and say you should really forgive the Pistons.
I didn't do nothing to the Pistons.
The Pistons did that to themselves. They chose not to shake and say you should really forgive the Pistons. I didn't do nothing to the Pistons. The Pistons did that to themselves.
They chose not to shake our hands.
They drew that line in the sand. They created that energy. F them.
Now they got to eat that.
Stay there by yourself. The NBA
is nothing like this today, boy.
Nah, not too much.
Not at all. What are you talking about?
These guys are best friends. They on freaking
banana boats together.
You know what I'm saying?
They love each other.
They hug each other.
They kiss each other.
Nobody Fs with Beverly.
There's a couple of dudes in the NBA back then that was always hanging around with each other.
You said nobody Fs with Beverly.
Yeah, Patrick Beverly.
Nobody Fs with him.
Man, they love Patrick Beverly.
It's all chummy.
The NBA is so chummy chummy now.
Everybody's friends.
They were chummy chummy a little bit back then.
They were playing cards with each other before the game, going golf.
Are you crazy?
Did you not watch the first, did you not see the Hall of Fame speech
where Michael Jordan said his best friend, Charles Oakley, said to him,
man, I can't hang out with you no more because Pat Riley won't allow it
when we used to play for the Knicks.
Are you crazy?
Hell no.
All right, Hamid Jaliyi, and that is your rumor report.
They said they played cards with each other.
They said they went to dinner with each other.
They said that they went to go out with each other before the game.
I'm not debating with you.
Yeah, with Danny Ainge and Danny Ainge and Michael Jordan did.
But I'm talking about when teams like the Pistons or teams like the Knicks
that were hardcore, that was really trying to take your head off,
you can't tackle me and then go play with me, go to dinner after the game.
You really think Bill Lamb and Scottie Pippen was going to eat together?
Well, they didn't like each other.
That's what I'm saying.
There's certain people in this industry that I don't care if they ask me
and they invite me to dinner now, I ain't going with you
because I just don't like you as a person.
Like, I don't like anything about you, and I'm not staying next to you.
I'm not being with you.
I'm not doing nothing with you.
I'm not even going to a charity with you.
100%. All right. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? not being with you. I'm not doing nothing with you. I'm not even going to a charity with you. A hundred percent.
Alright, now, when we come back, we got front page news.
What are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about Stacey Abrams. She is making the case for herself
to be Joe Biden's VP pick.
Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The
Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening?
Now, let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
Well, Stacey Abrams, she did appearances on NBC's Meet the Press and CNN's State of the Union yesterday.
And she is endorsing Joe Biden's bid for the White House.
And she also is campaigning to be his running mate for vice president.
As a young black woman growing up in Mississippi,
I learned that if you don't raise your hand,
people won't see you and they won't give you attention.
But it's not about attention for being the running mate.
It is about making sure that my qualifications aren't in question
because they're not just speaking to me.
They're speaking to young black women, young women of color,
young people of color who wonder if they too can be seen.
My mission is to say out loud if I'm asked the question, yes, I would be willing to serve.
But I know that there is a process that will be played out that Joe Biden is going to put together the best team possible.
That's one of the things that's important to me. Absolutely. Like I always say, Joe Biden is a Hawkeye.
So he has to assemble the rest of the Avengers. And I would love to see him have a black woman as a running mate,
especially a qualified black woman like Stacey Abrams.
And people like to say Stacey Abrams isn't qualified.
I don't want to hear about qualifications when you got the executive producer
of Celebrity Apprentice as the president of the United States of America.
I mean, she has Fair Fight 2020.
That's in 18 different states.
And she also served as her party's minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives.
So I would say that she's pretty qualified to do this job,
and I would love to see her in that position.
I think so, too.
To be honest with you, I wouldn't care if she isn't.
Because once again, the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice
is the president of the United States of America.
So when people bring up qualifications, look no further than your president.
And the mayor of San Juan is saying that nobody in Puerto Rico has received a coronavirus stimulus check yet.
Nobody.
Listen to what Carmen Julen Cruz told MSNBC.
No one in Puerto Rico has received the $1,200 from the federal government.
We are having problems with the local $500 that the governor said that was going to distribute.
There's more than 130,000
unemployment requests that have not
been filled. The same thing with people
getting food stamps.
Hey, Donald Trump gonna come down there
and throw out them checks like he did them paper towels
a couple years ago. He gonna be hitting y'all
with the Jim Jones ball.
Federal promises have been delayed
and right now there's more than 130,000
unemployment applications that have not
been answered. That is crazy.
Dron, how did that make you feel as our Puerto
Rican in the room? How did that make you feel?
Anchor, man, we gotta do better. As
usual, we gotta do better. Remember, Puerto Rico's part of the United
States. That's all you got.
What do you want from me? You got a chance
to stand up for your country and that's all you can do.
It's not a country.
Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Front Page News.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, we were talking earlier about Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas
and how Michael Jordan just doesn't really F with Isaiah Thomas,
even after their games and after the NBA.
Am I lying?
Am I telling the truth?
Yes, he definitely says he still hates the bad boy Pistons. their games and after the NBA. Am I lying? Am I telling the truth? Yes.
He definitely says he still hates the
bad boy Pistons. Whatever that means.
So we were asking, how far
does your petty go?
800-585-1051.
Myself, I see nothing wrong with that.
If you don't F with me, especially you do something
trying to hurt me,
trying to injure me where I can't play anymore
and take care of my family, no,
I don't F with you forever. I don't have to
think about you, but if it comes up to
a situation where me and you are in the same building,
then you got to choose because I'm not going in the
same building with him. I'm not going to give him, he's not
doing nothing with me, nothing near me.
I don't have no problem with it. You guys?
We know you are.
If I don't like you,
I'm not going to pretend to. You know what know I'm saying I think grudges are based on
you know the the the infraction that was committed upon you you know what I mean like some grudges
might last a couple months some might last a year so some might last longer than that some
might last forever it just really depends on on what happened honestly I think that I understand
that from Michael Jordan
because they physically wanted to hurt him, like you said.
They were like, whatever we have to do, take him out every time.
Just, you know, I think that is particularly harmful.
And I do feel like people try to hurt you in different ways.
And so those are people that I just tend to stay away from
and not give any energy to.
Right.
But I will say, it is context too, though, right?
Because that's sports.
At the time,
that's the way the game
of basketball was.
So it's not like Jordan
hadn't been in fist fights
on the court
with other teammates
and other players.
I just think that he personally
didn't like, you know,
the Pistons for other reasons
because you got to think about
they saying Isaiah
and them froze him out of a,
what was it, the Dream Team
or an All-Star game?
Which one was it?
I think it was the All-Star.
Dream Team.
It was the Dream Team.
Dream Team.
They froze him out the Dream Team.
I know.
Did they keep Isaiah
off the Dream Team?
They kept Isaiah off the Dream Team. They kept Isaiah off the Dream Team. They froze him out the Dream Team. I know. Did they keep Isaiah off the Dream Team? They kept Isaiah off the Dream Team.
They kept Isaiah off the Dream Team.
They kept Isaiah off the Dream Team.
But, yeah, Jordan said they froze him out of an All-Star game or something before.
So I'm sure that there was a lot of personal underlying things between them.
And then that was just the last straw, the fact that they didn't have any sportsmanship
and didn't shake their hands when they left the court.
And I don't have a problem with it.
You got to make a decision in those decisions.
I got to make a decision too.
And if I don't F with you and you try to hurt me,
you try to injure me,
you push me to the limit where I possibly can't feed my children or you
try to disrespect me in a way that there is no coming back from.
Yes.
I'm petty to Michael Jordan.
I'm going to go hard.
I don't mind that part.
The fact that they was on the court trying to hurt him.
Cause even Jordan said the reason I put on 25 pounds of weight
is because I wanted to start administering the pain.
I wanted to start to hurt them the way that they was attempting to hurt me.
So I don't mind that.
But the pettiness at the end of the game, the last two years,
y'all busted our ass and we shook y'all hands and we were respectful.
And then when we beat y'all, y'all just walk off the court
and don't shake our hands and show the lack of respect for me.
It's a difference, though.
But it's a difference, though, and this is the difference.
The difference is if you want to be a sore loser and a sucker,
you can do that.
But now if I'm driving down the lane and you're trying to hurt me,
trying to elbow me, trying to throw me on the floor
where I could possibly get injured and never play again,
let's be honest, there's been people who got injured
and never played again.
Bulls did the same thing.
That was the style of basketball back then.
So I get it.
Pistons were a lot worse.
Of course.
I understand why they don't like the Pistons,
but I think it was more so the lack of respect you show me after I finally
dethroned you.
Because you got to think, that was a big moment for the Bulls.
The Bulls finally got over that hurdle.
So in George's mind, all he wanted probably was a little bit of respect,
the same respect that I showed y'all and show other people.
And you can't give that to me?
All right, F you.
All right, well.
And Isaiah still don't seem to respect George.
Him or Bill Lambert.
They always got little slick things to say about Michael, even now to this day.
Well, 800-585-1051, how petty are you?
Let's talk about it because I'm petty.
I'm the petty king.
I'm petty, petty.
You know.
Petty.
Like, by your mama house, petty, petty, petty.

Pick up the phone, baby.
Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club let's talk about it
morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
good morning now if you just join us we're talking about the michael jordan the last dance
the chicago bulls documentary that was on this weekend.
They were talking about a situation between Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas and how they really don't F with each other.
And Jordan really doesn't F with Isaiah Thomas.
So we opened up the phone lines and said, how petty are you?
800-585-1051.
Let's start with you, Yee.
How petty are you, Yee?
I would say that I'm not really that petty.
I kind of like just don't care. You know what I'm saying? If I don't mess with you, I just don't really care about you that I'm not really that petty. I kind of like just don't care.
You know what I'm saying?
If I don't mess with you, I just don't really care about you.
I'm not like outwardly petty.
I just feel like you don't exist.
Charlamagne?
Is that petty?
I don't know if it's about being petty.
You know what I'm saying?
I think it's about holding a grudge.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I don't think Michael Jordan did anything to the Pistons.
He just didn't like how the Pistons did him when they didn't shake his hand.
So he's just holding a grudge against him.
And I don't have a problem with that.
Like, if I don't like you, I don't pretend to.
Like, I don't rock with everybody's energy, and that's fine.
The Pistons and the Bulls don't have to get along, and that's cool.
And you can't tell people when they should get over something or how they should feel about something.
If MJ feels like what they did was egregious enough to not rock with them to this day,
that's on him.
And who am I to tell him he's wrong? Yeah, I mean, it depends. There's levels to pettiness.
It depends how far you tried to go to hurt me or to try to hurt my family. And if you go that hard to try to hurt me and my family in a way where you're trying to destroy my family or try to make
it so I'm not eating, I don't I don't F with you. And I'm petty because I will try to make it so I'm not eating, I don't F with you and I'm petty
because I will try to make sure that I bury you.
And I just remember this line from Jay-Z.
It was like something about if you make somebody die breathing
and you're saying something,
meaning you cut off all their oxygen where they're alive
and they can just sit back and just watch what you're doing,
but they can't eat.
That's my goal of pettiness.
That's how far I want to take it.
I'm going to be honest with you. I don't have that
kind of energy to waste on
people like that. You know what I'm saying?
Because like I said, I don't think what Michael Jordan is doing
is petty. I just think he's holding a grudge
because he's not doing anything to try to hurt the Pistons.
Like, legacy
is legacy. It's cemented.
Y'all beat me. Y'all won a couple championships. I beat's cemented. Y'all beat me.
Y'all won a couple of championships.
I beat y'all.
Y'all chose not to walk, to shake my hand.
You can't take that back.
Michael Jordan went on to be an absolute success.
Isaiah Thomas had success.
That's that.
I just choose to not rock with you.
No, we can all have success.
And we can all do our different things.
But when you try to physically hurt me or my family, nah. It is what it is. I think you're using
the wrong word, though, because you're making it seem like you want
some type of revenge against people. Jordan
ain't doing that. Jordan just got a grudge. He just don't mess
with them. I think
grudge is the word more than
petty. Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is Jay Ladd, man, from Duval.
Duval.
How petty are you, bro?
What's up? What's up?
What's up?
Got there violating all them stay-at-home orders.
No, bet I had to pick my girl up from work, man.
She's in the front line, nurse.
Okay.
All right, bro.
Come on, answer the question, bro.
Do you hold a grudge?
Are you petty?
I ain't really that petty.
I hold a little grudge if I don't get my way because I just
overanalyze a lot of stuff.
But other than that, after that,
it only lasts for a little while. But I just
want to say, Jordan
is real petty because that's
the way they played basketball back then.
Not like they was after
the game was over with, you know what I'm saying?
That's what I said. Yes, man.
The Pistons did that to everybody. Yeah. Oakley, Rodman, they hold saying? That's what I said. Yes, man. The Pistons did that to everybody.
Yeah.
Oakley, Rodman, they hold career.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Yeah, man.
The Bulls did it when they got tougher.
Yeah.
That's the only way they could win.
That's right.
You know what I'm saying?
They had to push people around.
I like Envy, but he said he hold the grudge even off the court and everything.
Come on, Envy.
You got to let it go, bro.
It all depends on what the grudge is.
Like, I've been in situations where people try to disrespect my family and my kids.
So if that's the situation, I'm just looking at me and how I hold a grudge.
If you disrespect my family, I don't give a f***.
You can believe that.
That's just how I feel.
If it's just a game, that's something different.
But if it goes past that, I got to do what I got to do as a man.
And see, what you just said is exactly why Jordan don't rock with the Bulls.
Because when you don't shake my hand after the game,
you're showing me that it's more than a game.
You're showing me that it's not.
You're showing me that he didn't shake the hand.
And when the Pistons didn't shake the Bulls' hand, he's showing,
I don't like you, Michael.
I don't like you.
It's not just about basketball.
You know what I'm saying?
Michael dogged Isaiah for the dream team.
So, I mean, he holds a grudge too, though.
That's true.
True.
All right, well, thank you for calling, brother.
All right.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Big Smoke.
Hey, Big Smoke.
What's up, bro?
Big Smoke.
We're talking about grudges and pettiness.
Do you hold a grudge?
Are you petty, bro?
I'm petty, man.
I'm king petty.
See this weed dude back in the day, he shorted me a quarter on an ounce, man.
You do not still have a grudge.
I broke into his crib and stole $80,000 from him.
That's not petty to me, though, man.
I don't know if I would say that on the radio.
You broke into somebody's house and stole $80,000?
$80,000. I didn't know I was going to get that much. I would say that on the radio. You broke into somebody's house and stole $80,000? $80,000.
I didn't know I was going to get that much.
I was just trying to get it.
Hey, you just wanted back what you spent, but why are you here?
I was trying to get my gift back.
It's just here.
I might as well take it, right?
Now, does he know it was you?
A whole 80, and the kicker is I still f*** with him.
Does he know you did that?
Hell no.
No, I get my killer off of him still.
Oh, he's going to shoot you next time he sees you.
I ain't going to say where I'm from.
He's probably listening right now.
He knows 80,000 he lost.
He knows your voice, and he's never forgotten that 80,000 loss,
and he said to himself every day since that happened,
I'm going to shoot that person who took that 80,000 from me.
You ain't never been able to get weed at 730.
That's f***ing30. That's right.
You're smoking bath salts.
Okay.
You do know that the Breakfast Club is listening to about 10 million people a week.
Somebody's going to know your voice.
Absolutely.
Well, thank you.
Good luck.
He's like, all right, I got my $80,000.
Somebody calling somebody's phone right now like, hey, man,
remember that $80,000 somebody stole from you?
Absolutely.
$800,000.
He was just on the phone bragging
about it 105 when we're talking how petty are you do you hold a grudge let's talk about it it's the
breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the
breakfast club good morning now if you just joined us we are talking about how petty are you how do
you hold a grudge now this comes from the from the Michael Jordan documentary, The Last Dance.
Now, what are your feelings out there?
Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's your name?
Hey, Emily. We're talking about
grudges or pettiness.
Do you hold grudges? I do. I do,
unfortunately. Okay, give us an example.
You want to give us some details?
No, well,
I had this situation at my old job.
This young lady cost me my job.
She did not like me because I went on a date with her ex-husband.
She ended up starting all these rumors about me that caused my reputation to go down.
And eventually I was terminated because of all the drama that she stirred up.
She even popped my tires and did all this crazy stuff.
Was the date worth it?
Was the date worth it? No, it was not. Okay.
But that's not your fault. I mean, that was her ex, right? Yeah, they broke up because she did
something inexcusable in a marriage. It's not my fault. So what'd you do in return?
Well, just because I got fired didn't mean I didn't still have friends there.
So I had friends get together and write a bunch of statements on her,
which ultimately lost her job.
And she got a harassment charge and is looking at, like, possible jail time.
Okay.
That is very petty.
I still think we're talking about two different things.
I get it.
She cost you your job.
She cost you your livelihood.
Took some money out your pocket.
I understand.
This was, I worked in a prison.
This was a, it cost a huge hardship in the future of me getting another job.
Because the prison is very closely connected.
Got you.
So she cost you not just that employment, but future employment as well.
It was very difficult for me to get another job in my field of work.
Do you feel like it was petty now when you look back on it?
It was because I do feel bad for her children, but she didn't feel bad for my child.
So at the end of the day, you get what you give.
Very true.
Very true.
Very true.
And I even got a lawsuit with the former employer.
So not only did I get her, I'm getting money.
Damn.
Well, congratulations.
Your petty paid off. Yeah, yeah, your petty. Petty, petty. I still think we're money. Damn. Well, congratulations. Your petty paid off.
Yeah, yeah, your petty.
I still think we're talking about two different things, though.
Like, what the Pistons did was petty
by not shaking the Bulls' hand.
What MJ is doing is holding a grudge.
It's a difference.
Yeah. All right. Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Shayshel from North Virginia, man.
What's up, bro?
You hold grudges, brother?
I held grudges before for about six months.
I was a good worker, and supervisors used to hate on me.
In the long run, the supervisor got fired, and I took the supervisor position.
There you go.
So in Michael Jordan's case, I feel like he should forgive Isaiah,
even though Isaiah was hating on him.
Jordan succeeded in the long run.
You see, Isaiah was a joy on the Michael Jordan team.
Michael Jordan would have been forgiving like he did Dennis Rodman.
So, in the long run, Michael Jordan shined by everybody else looking up to him.
I think the problem with the Pistons-Bulls situation is that, you know,
Isaiah tried to freeze Michael off the all-star team.
They did used to play very physical basketball, beat up on Michael Jordan.
But when the game was over, Isaiah showed it wasn't just the game
because they didn't shake his hand.
You know what I'm saying?
If y'all beat up on each other on the court and y'all go hard
and then shake each other's hand at the end of the game, cool, that's sportsmanship.
But when you don't shake my hand, you tell me that it's personal.
That's what I think the problem was.
All right, well, let's go to another line.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is for Stavia.
We're talking about Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas and pettiness and grudges.
Do you hold grudges?
I try not to, but sometimes it's hard.
And so it'll take me a while sometimes to let things go.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
What's your sign?
I think that's human.
I'm a Libra.
A what?
A Libra. Okay. She's a Libra. Okay, balance. I don't know human. A what? A Libra. A Libra, okay.
Okay, balance.
I don't know how long Libras hold grudges.
I'm a Cancer.
Cancers hold grudges for years.
Both my mom, my best friend, and my brother are Libras.
So we're good people, right?
I think so.
Yeah, they're pretty good people.
Okay.
Well, thank you, Mama.
Thank you.
Well, thank you for taking the call.
And I guess the question was how petty I think I am.
Yep.
And I guess you guys can tell me if this is petty, but I drive Uber sometimes.
Oh, boy.
And sometimes a passenger will, yeah, will, like, clip their cigarette right before they get in my car.
And that's a huge pet peeve because I think it's rude.
And so it doesn't matter how cold it is outside.
If it's raining or if it's snowing,
I'll drive miles with the windows rolled down
and they'll be freezing back there.
What's up with you, man?
Because people smell like smoke.
They're not smoking in the car.
Yeah, nah, but they cut their cigarette
and they smell like smoke when they get in the car.
I get it.
And it's like, you don't know. What if I had severe
asthma and it triggers...
You don't know my health condition.
I think it's rude.
What's your star rating? Tell me what your
star rating is. What's your star rating?
4.89.
I don't believe that.
You got to show it to me. So what about if they tell you to roll up the
window? Because you do have to do that if they ask you
to roll up the window. Yeah, I'll totally do that if they ask you to roll up the window.
Yeah, I'll totally say, you know, once the smoke clears out, I'll go ahead and roll it up.
So I'll wait a few minutes because it's a pet peeve.
It bothers me.
It bothers me a big deal.
My goodness.
All right.
Well, thank you, Mama.
Thank you.
All right. Well, thank you for calling, Mama.
800-585-1051.
What's the moral of the story, guys?
Is there a moral?
You know, they say holding a grudge is like letting somebody live rent-free in your head.
They also say it hurts more to hold grudges than to forgive.
The anger we hold inside damages us and nobody else.
Don't be a prisoner of yourself.
But I don't believe none of that.
If I don't like you, I don't pretend to.
I don't care.
You know what I'm saying?
I really don't. Like, I really, truly don't. If, I don't pretend to. I don't care. You know what I'm saying? I really don't.
Like, I really, truly don't.
If you draw a line in the sand, stay over there.
I'm cool.
I'm the same way.
But if something comes across my desk and it's something that I know that affects you, that can affect me, I'm not effing with you.
I'm not giving you anything.
I don't think not liking somebody and holding a grudge is the same thing.
You could just be like, I don't care for that person,
but that doesn't mean you have a grudge.
And, Charlamagne, you're the same person that goes to people's Facebook
to see how bad that they're doing if they did you dirty in high school.
Okay, what do I got to do with what I just said?
That's petty, brother.
That is petty, petty, petty, petty, petty, petty.
That's not petty.
That's just me paying attention.
I'm just like, I have no, listen, I know I hold grudges, and I don't care. I'm just saying, I'm telling you, I just don't care, and I'm just like, listen, I have no, listen, I know I hold grudges
and I don't care.
I'm just saying,
I'm telling you,
I just don't care.
And I'm just like you.
If somebody,
like put it like this,
if I'm working on something,
right?
And somebody says,
hey,
we want to hire such and such.
I'm going to say no
because I had a bad experience
with that person.
Period.
I don't want that energy around me.
That's it.
So that's not even holding a grudge.
That's just basically saying
I had a bad experience with that person.
It didn't go right the first time.
Cool.
Because, by the way, if somebody is exceptional at what they do, like a Dennis Rodman was,
I can work with you regardless of what we had or who you was a part of back in the day.
If you're exceptional at what you do.
If you're not exceptional at what you do, nah, I don't rock with that guy.
Okay.
Our gal.
All right.
Now we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes.
Let's talk about Kanye West.
He has joined the Billionaires Club,
but he's still complaining.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to him.
With Angela Yee
on the Breakfast Club.
Yes, so according to Forbes, Kanye West is officially a billionaire.
Now, he wasn't happy with that number.
He's on the cover of Forbes, and he said to them, he tweeted,
he texted, it's not a billion, it's $3.3 billion,
since no one at Forbes knows how to count.
So he wants to make sure that people know that he's not worth just $1 billion.
It's $3.3 billion.
So they figured out most of that money
does come from Yeezy sales.
And they said he actually gets 15%
of Yeezy revenue from Adidas.
But they said, according to Forbes,
after some expenses are carved out of that,
that is actually closer to 11%.
So they said at that rate,
he would have gotten royalties of over $140 million
from Yeezy sales just last year.
They also said he owns a lot of real estate
and properties and private assets
and, you know, things like that.
Well, congratulations to that black man.
Dropping a blue ball for Kanye West.
A man achieved the dream of his.
His good music imprint and publishing is said to be valued around $90 million as well.
But he is insisting those assets are really $3 billion.
Congratulations to him, man.
I'm happy for him because he went against the grain.
When everybody was rocking Nikes and he went the other way, did Adidas and made it pop.
So congratulations to him.
He deserves it.
And I'm sure that when those red
MAGA colored Yeezys drop
around November, that go with the hat
right around the time for presidential election time,
woo, sales gonna be through the roof.
Alright, now let's talk
about the rest of the family. Kylie Jenner, she
just bought a new house and that house was
a $36.5 million
mansion in LA. Did you guys
see that online?
Yeah, I see that. It looks amazing.
It's on less than an acre out in
Beverly Hills, but it's a beautiful, big, big,
big house, so congratulations
to her. Less than an acre? Yeah, less than an acre in Beverly Hills.
And it's $35 million?
Yep.
It looks beautiful. It looks amazing.
If I'm spending that kind of money, I need the land.
It's probably the location also. It is the location. It's right in Beverly money, I need the land. I want you. It's probably the location also.
It is the location.
It's right in Beverly Hills.
But I want land.
I don't give a damn.
I want the land.
Word.
$35 million and you get less than an acre?
Yeah.
Yeah, but the value of that might even go up even more
just because of where it's located.
It's a great investment.
It's right near Beverly Hills.
You could get right downtown.
But I need the land.
I'm with y'all, man.
My kids need to run. I need land. I'm with Charlemagne. I need, my kid need to run.
I need, I need, I need land.
I think that's still a lot of land, guys.
Less than an acre?
Hell no, that's not a lot of land.
That's still a lot of things.
Charlemagne.
You're not from the country.
You're not from the country.
No, I'm definitely not.
He lives in Brooklyn, so she doesn't care about the acres like that.
You know what I mean?
It's a little different.
To her, it doesn't matter.
She can get to the city in 10 minutes. But for myself,
I need land. I got
eight and a half here, but you know, it takes
me 35, 40 minutes to get to the city. But I'm
cool with that because my kids can run.
Yeah, for some people, it just depends on what, you know,
and what's the better decision for you.
And so, all right. Now,
Travis Scott, his virtual Fortnite
concert drew in over 12
million viewers.
So that is really, really dope for him.
That's something different that hasn't been done.
He teamed up with Epic Games to host an in-game concert experience.
And the fans absolutely loved it with 12.3 million people tuning in.
So congratulations to him.
Nice.
All you artists and all you comedians better get used to that.
All you artists and comedians better get used to that
because that's what it's going to be for y'all for at least
the next six, seven, eight months.
Absolutely. You're talking about with concerts not coming back
till fall of 2021. A lot of estimates
have been wrong lately, so it could be sooner.
I think it's going to be virtual.
But it is going to be virtual. I think it'll be smaller
events coming back sooner.
And then obviously like the bigger festivals
might be more difficult.
All right, Diddy revealed a massive monument that he has of Kim Porter at his home.
And he gives some advice out.
He was telling people that basically
this is what you need to do when you find the right one.
This is a special announcement
PSA to all the
players. When you find that one
don't be playing around
with it because it's rare.
I definitely, you know, as a man, feel I f***ed up on that.
Like she was the one for me.
And I played around, you know, thinking that, you know, I'm running things.
God is running things.
And he changed me as a man to be able to really appreciate love.
He actually had a statue built of Kim Porter, too, honoring her before she passed away as well.
Now, in addition to that, some more Diddy news.
He was talking to Fat Joe and he was discussing the versus battle that he'll be doing.
Listen to this.
Will there be a versus for excellence?
Is there even talks or whispers of
P. Diddy and Dr. Dre?
Yeah, we definitely talking about it.
You heard it here. You heard it here on the show.
Yo, yo, yo,
Jokers, Jokers, breaking news.
Not on the Jokers show.
Diddy versus Dr. Dre, who you got in that battle?
That's a tough one, man.
I really don't know.
I really don't know. Only don't know Only because like I said
You know
And I said this last week
And people were saying
I was wrong
Tell me
I don't know the R&B records
That Dr. Dre produced like that
And I just feel like
It's such a hard matchup
He did something
I know he did
The True Hurts
He did True Hurts
I know he did
Family Affair
Yeah
For Mary
But that ain't total
Can't you see
You know what I'm saying
The diddy has on him
Where you could talk Jodeci in him where you could talk Jodeci
In some aspects
Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans
Total
I just think it's a situation
Missy?
I think he did something for Missy too
I just think it's a situation where Diddy wins
With the R&B
Dre wins with the hip hop
But can you say that too?
Because I mean,
he got Biggie.
He got Mase.
If I had to go into battle,
I would say Dr. Dre would win.
And the reason I would say
Dr. Dre would win
is because Dr. Dre
has bigger hip-hop anthems
than Diddy does.
He has bigger rec
from Tupac to Snoop Dogg
to his own catalog.
Diddy got the Benjamins,
more money, more problems,
hypnotized,
Big Papa,
Flavio in the Air.
You're talking gin and juice.
You're talking nothing but a G thing.
You're talking about 50 Cent in the Club.
Those are all big hip-hop anthems
on both sides, though.
Yeah, but I think Drake got more.
Those are pretty big anthems.
But you know what?
No matter what,
as we've been saying all along,
they both will be winners.
Babyface and Teddy Riley,
their verses, battle songs,
doubled in streams after that.
So everybody wins. Absolutely.
That's what's great about it. All right. I'm Angela
Yee and that is your rumor report.
All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now,
Charlamagne, who are you giving that down with?
I need Becky with the good hair to come
to the front of the congregation. Her name is actually
Mayor Becky
Ames. She's the mayor of
Beaumont, Texas. We need her to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with her.
Alright, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day for monday april 27th goes to beaumont texas mayor becky ames is it beaumont or
beaumont i think it's beaumont uh sidebar am i the only person who when they hear that a white
woman is named becky i check to see if she indeed has good hair.
I don't know exactly what good hair looks like,
but she's got a nice haircut on her head, okay?
I'm not going to lie.
She's got a head shot, and it's a really nice haircut,
really stylish, little short crop.
You know what I'm saying?
Got something like a pixie cut, but not quite.
Anyway, we have some government officials in our country loosening up stay-at-home orders.
Some government officials are telling folks to stay quarantined.
Mayor Becky was definitely one of those folks telling people to stay home.
In fact, Mayor Becky has stay-at-home orders in place.
She put them in place on March 27th.
She issued something called Stay Home, Work Safe Order for the city of Beaumont.
She said the order was enacted to help slow the spread of coronavirus
so local hospitals were not overwhelmed.
Mayor Becky said verbatim only essential businesses should remain operating,
but that the city was not shutting down.
She said we will get through this together by staying at home and working safe.
We will get this behind us faster.
We need you to stay at home.
She's stressing the fact that you should stay at home, okay?
She even said quarantine parties are not smart,
but we know they're out there. Stay at home. All of this is very smart, very honorable.
She sounds like a leader. That's what leaders do at a time like this. They lead. You have to make
decisions for the people because sadly, a lot of us don't make good decisions, okay? You have to
take away some people's power of choice. If you leave things that aren't essential open,
then people will be tempted to go.
So shut it down, okay?
Essential only.
Grocery stores, pharmacies, that's about it.
Nothing more, nothing less.
But when you are a good leader, you have to lead by example.
You have to show and prove by actions and deeds.
And most importantly, you have to practice what you preach.
Well, Mayor Becky, no, no, no, she didn't do that.
Let's go to KBMT 12 News for the report, please.
Well, a lot of you are talking about a photo being shared on social media
appearing to show Beaumont Mayor Becky Ames getting a manicure today.
The mayor told us she did go to the salon after talking to the owner
about how to remove an old manicure set.
She needed acetone, and the salon owner said she would leave some for her.
Instead, the owner had the solution set up in a bowl inside. The mayor says she was in and out
in 10 minutes and the owner was the only other person in the salon. The owner also told 12 News
that surveillance video backs up the mayor's story and what you're looking at right now,
these are pictures that the mayor sent us of her nails tonight telling us once again that she did not get her nails done. Mayor Becky I don't give a damn
what your nail concerns were okay you know how many people need their nails done right now
you know how many people out here fiending to get a milk and honey spa pedicure you think we don't
want to be groomed you think I don't want to go to the barbershop right now and get a fresh baldy and shave? But I can't because New Jersey has stay-at-home orders
and you shouldn't be able to either because Beaumont, Texas has stay-at-home orders that
you implemented. So how dare you use your privileges, mayor, to get your nails done
when regular everyday citizens in your town is out there suffering, watching YouTube tutorials,
trying to figure out how to remove acrylic, but you up in the nail salon getting yours taken off. everyday citizens in your town is out there suffering, watching YouTube tutorials, trying
to figure out how to remove acrylic, but you up in the nail salon getting yours taken off.
Now, I told y'all I had a theory, and that theory was that the powers that be all over
the world didn't know what coronavirus was, and I think they believed that corona was
much more fatal than they initially thought.
So they did the right thing and shut the world down, but I think they realized after doing
antibody testing that a lot more people have had it and recovered from it than, you know, had actually, you know, been shown before.
So I think they just think it's a lot less fatal. conducted by Stanford University, that scientists concluded that the infection is both more common than previously thought
and possesses a lower fatality rate than what current data suggests.
I think that people like Mayor Becky know that.
They are privy to that kind of information.
That's why they are willing to take those kinds of chances by just going out and getting their freaking acrylic removed.
But we don't have that kind of information.
So we have to stay home until y'all tell us to.
And guess what?
When residents of that town see people like Mayor Becky out and about
and just living her life with corona, well, hell,
I want to go out and live that life too.
Don't you dare lock no residents up or write them any summonses
when they start enjoying some of that good spring air in Texas
because you, Mayor Becky, set the example. And you need to understand, Mayor Becky, leadership is not a position or
title. It is action and example. And you have set a terrible one. Please let Remy Ma give Mayor
Becky Ames of Beaumont, Texas, the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You-haw you stupid mother are you dumb all right well thank you for that donkey of the day
now when we come back uh angela yee we have jennifer williams from basketball wives joining us
yes so she had did a post and let me read this post to you just so you can know
what it is and she posted this over the weekend apparently allegedly somebody stole her car from
her her vehicle and she said i'm asking for some help finding my Range Rover
that this man Aaron stole from me.
He goes by many aliases, including Nick, Daniel, or Chris.
He has conned many women and men too out of vehicles and large amounts of cash,
lives in the Atlanta area and frequents Detroit, Houston, and Vegas.
If you have seen him or are a victim of his antics, please DM me,
email my attorney, Jamie Hernan,
or contact the Smyrna Police Department in Georgia as there is an active investigation going on.
So we are going to find out how could this happen.
I saw a lot of people in the comments were blaming her and saying,
how could she let somebody take her car from her, that she got swindled, bamboozled.
It was her own fault. They don't believe her.
So now we'll discuss what some of these allegations are against him
a lot of people have stepped up and said that they do know him and they've been victims of his as well
allegedly so let's hear the full story all right we'll get into that next so don't move jennifer
williams from basketball wives it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club
morning everybody it's dj envy angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, we have a special guest on the line.
From Basketball Wives, we have Jennifer Williams joining us.
Now, what's going on with Jennifer, Yee?
Yes, so Jennifer Williams had posted accusing this man of stealing her car from her and conning her out of it.
And we also have a woman, Ramona, who has similar accusations from years ago,
as well as Jennifer's attorney, who will talk about these allegations.
I saw a post that you have put up on your Instagram about having to deal with, you know, a guy that actually had scammed you.
So I saw a lot of people weighing in and I just wanted to break down from your side, you know, what you're saying happened, how you knew this man and how he managed to get
your Range Rover and what's been going on since then.
I met this man in Atlanta.
I've been knowing him for probably it was like a little over a year.
And, you know, we developed a relationship.
I ended up moving to Atlanta and I had an issue
with the closing of my house. I was leaving out of town. I have two vehicles and he claims that
he's a car dealership. So again, this is somebody that I knew. We had a relationship at one point.
So I trusted him. I gave him my car to basically put up and hold for me
because obviously I can't drive some vehicles.
And, you know, when I got settled into my house,
I asked him for my car back,
and he would not give me my car back.
He stopped answering my phone calls,
and my Range Rover basically disappeared.
So what I've come to find out in doing a little investigating,
one, he told me his name was Daniel, which was a lie. And the way that I found that out was I had
to actually Google his mother's obituary. And that's when I found what his real name was. I
found this article on Lipstick Alley where I connected with Ramona.
And I realized that this man has been doing this
for quite some time.
Actually, probably 20 years or so.
Wow.
Okay, so just to break it down,
so you guys have been dating.
At that time, were you still in a relationship?
No.
Okay, so this was like an ex,
but you guys were still cool.
So he was doing you a favor. Yes. And I'm with Selena. I don't know a lot of people there. He was in the car business
and he was, you know, he was like, listen, I can hold a car for you. It's not a big deal.
And I was like, okay, like, great. I didn't have anywhere to put the car and I was leaving out of
town. So I figured, all right, well, I'll just give him my car to put up, not to drive around,
but just to hold my vehicle.
And then he just never gave it back.
So now you said you found this article on Lipstick Alley once you discovered what his
real name was, and that's what led you to Ramona, right?
Yes.
So Ramona, let's hear from you and the article that you wrote, what was in it, and how you
and Jennifer connected.
Okay.
I was involved with Nick from 2004 until about 2010.
In the beginning of 2011, a woman contacted me.
I'm not exactly sure how she got my information, but she contacted me, and it turns out that she was the mother of one of his children. We compared stories and talked
about, you know, some of the things that he had done and we realized that this information needed
to be out there. When I first got involved with him, as Jennifer stated, there was nothing on him
on the internet and you can Google everyone and get some information about everyone. So I thought
it was kind of interesting that nothing came up.
So we decided that we were actually going to develop a webpage that had a lot
of information about him. He was able to get that webpage removed,
you know, some years ago.
So she also put up a ripoff report in regards to him.
And then I chose to post on Lipstick Alley and connect the
ripoff report and talk about my dealings with him. Now I hadn't seen him in over a decade.
So what is it that he did to you like specifically? Well when I met him just as Jennifer had stated
he gave me a different name. At the time he told me he was a retired athlete. He told me, of course,
that you put in Google that. He told me that he was involved in numerous businesses. And I did,
you know, the luxury cars. And there was a lot in Las Vegas that has a number of these luxury cars.
At the time, I had my own car, my own vehicle that I was making payments on and he stated you know if we're gonna
be in a relationship you know we should upgrade your car and I told him you know I'm still making
payments on the car he suggested that we return the car and then just get a new car so I felt
uneasy about that but I gave him my car to return to the dealership. He never did. The car just kind of disappeared.
And I was still making payments on it.
I was making payments on it until, you know, it was a charge off.
Now, at the time, again, I was still in a relationship with him.
So I was in other vehicles.
He had me in numerous luxury cars.
So even though I was still making payments on the other car, I really didn't just think much of it. There were other instances
where he would ask for me to pick up a luxury car in a certain state and then deliver it to a
different state. He stated again that he was a dealer and these were people that were leasing
or financing or purchasing the cars from him. Now, the places where I picked up these cars were dealerships, but they weren't his.
He also stated that he had a cleaning company. He stated that, you know, he had different
foundations. So he had a number of businesses, but all of the businesses were attached to a
post office box that I used as well. There were no physical addresses for any of these buildings,
for any of these businesses. But again, this was the person
I chose to be in a relationship with. So I believed him when he told me whatever it was.
At the conclusion of the relationship, as I mentioned, when I spoke with the mother of one
of his children, that's when we found out that again, all of these things were fictitious and
he had been doing this to a number of women. And that's why we chose to put that post up.
Now, what happened when both of you contacted the police
or did you contact the police?
Then what happened?
Well, okay, for me, so obviously my car was stolen.
So I contacted the Smyrna police
because that's where the car got taken from.
And to be honest with you,
it's been a little over a month
and there hasn't been any resolution.
You know, they literally just put my car in as stolen.
And I put up the post because I was a little frustrated
because here it is, I have this vehicle
that I don't have, it's stolen
and nobody's telling me anything.
So I'm like, all right, well, you know, I know social media is a huge platform.
And I know that he's in Atlanta.
So let me put the post up.
Maybe somebody has seen him.
And then when I was talking to Ramona, I realized that we started comparing stories.
We started talking to other people.
He has been doing this.
The amount of stories that have come in, we haven't proven anything.
We don't know that these stories are verified.
But everybody has a similar story about this man.
And so it's like everybody can't be lying.
But really, there's not been much traction from the police.
All right, when we come back, we'll kick it more with Jennifer and her attorney in more.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Jennifer Williams on the line right now.
Of course, she's from Basketball Wives.
And a strange story.
You want to explain to people that just tuned in
what this story is?
Yes.
So she is discussing a post that she put up from a man that she was formerly dating that stole her Range Rover from her.
But apparently he's allegedly done this to other people as well who have now come forward.
And we also have Ramona, who also has similar allegations against him from a few years ago.
Now, Jamie, you're Jennifer's attorney, right? I would like for you to step in right now
and just talk about if something like this happens to somebody,
like you're dealing with Jennifer's case,
what can a person do?
And what are you treated like
when it comes to the police department,
when you try to report something like this?
What are your options?
Through our investigation,
we've seen that this man has left a trail of victims.
It appears for a decade or more.
You heard from Ramona, who was talking about a similar situation over 10 years ago.
And fortunately, Ms. Williams was brave enough to come forward and make that post and make this public.
Because frankly, I think what we've found in hearing the stories of people who've responded to that post is, unfortunately, they have not had much help when they sought recourse through the legal system. you know, this man appears to have done and really show the power of social media programs like yours
where a voice can be given to people who haven't had that opportunity before.
Ms. Williams is not going to rest in this situation.
This is not just at this point about her Range Rover.
You know, she's seeking justice not only for herself, but for the others. And she has the
power of the, you know, the platform of social media and being able to come on your program.
And many of the other victims don't have that. Right. They have, you know, she's reached out
to me as an attorney to help her and we reached out to the police department. There's an active investigation with the Smyrna Police Department. Smyrna is a suburb of Atlanta. But frankly, it's really the power of the people that sometimes can put the pressure on that will stop people like this. doing these kind of things, they need to be exposed. And oftentimes individual stories that are not connected,
that go to one police jurisdiction and another,
they never get tied together and people can slip through the cracks.
Ramona, I think, has seen that.
I'm incredibly proud of her because this situation was something that
happened to her over 10 years ago. And she's still seeking justice.
And we hope to help provide that for her as well.
Because, you know, it's time that it all stops.
Yeah, Ramona, you can see just not having the platform that Jennifer has, right?
How difficult it was for your story to even be heard.
And now it's finally getting some traction 10 years later. I know. And it is difficult speaking with a number of, you know, these
alleged victims. It's, there's some strength in anonymity. You know, we, we were unable to get
our stories out. Some people were afraid to come forward to the authorities. You know,
how do you report a car stolen when you kind of had a relationship with this person?
How do you then report your credit being abused when you had a relationship with this person and you allowed him or her to use your credit?
There are a number of people that were just afraid to come forward.
And it is a great thing that Jennifer was able to give them that voice so that they can now come forward. And we see that there are dozens on dozens of alleged victims,
as she mentioned, the same story,
whether it was their credit abuse or money's taken from them,
cars taken from them. It has to stop at this point.
And Angela, if I could just add something to that.
I wanted to point out something very important there uh when people are reporting this to the the banks
or their insurance companies or the police oftentimes what they're going to be told is
you should have done better you should have done this and you were in a relationship and were you
involved and and the victim becomes the accused and becomes investigated and and and it puts so
much pressure and stress on them that they just say forget about it I'd rather not
I'd rather not pursue it and so it is when they do that it's not about the
strength of their their character they were very strong to come forward in the
first place it's about the system not working and the system basically it's that same system that people
abuse and take advantage of so they can go through and and and survive all these years doing the same
thing well jennifer i know a lot of people have contacted you and of course these are all still
allegedly people that we haven't necessarily proven if their story is legitimate or not.
But even men have reached out to you, right?
Oh, men have reached out to me.
I got three new victims this morning.
I mean, first of all, it's not just women.
You definitely praise on women, but it's men as well.
And some men are claiming allegedly
they've been in a relationship with him.
And then some men are just saying,
you know, I gave him money to get a car
and he ran off with my money.
So there's just a lot of stories.
Again, I don't know what's true, what's factual,
but everybody seems to have a similar story.
Now, Jamie, what would you recommend
for a person in this position?
Because people are going through this in general, right? This is definitely a time when, especially
during this pandemic, when people are preying on people and they're running all kinds of scams
right now. What is the process that you can go through if you're trying to, you know, track down
somebody that has stolen from you, that has gotten something from you, that has
ruined your credit, any of those things? What's the process that that person should go through?
Well, look, they can report it to the authorities. They need to understand that they need to,
they can't just report it and then sit back and expect that it's all going to be taken care of.
They need to actively be a part of any investigation. They need to be, they need to put pressure on the authorities to do the right thing. You know, that the,
the authorities work for the people. So the people need to feel that they can,
they can expect justice. Some people may not feel comfortable in doing that. They can reach out to
attorneys in their area. There's also likely, especially if they can't afford an
attorney, there may be attorney legal organizations that can provide representation to people who've
been victimized. It's important that people just don't feel shame in this situation.
All right. And Jamie, last thing, what are some of the possible charges that Erin can face?
Well, honestly, Angela, we've been bombarded with responses to Ms. Williams' post.
So that's hard to pin down right now.
Obviously, her car was taken and we're pursuing that through the Smyrna Police Department.
But there's any number of things we've had people who have alleged similar dealings with vehicles that they've had taken or money that they have had been scammed
out of and that goes in as in many many jurisdictions in many places different states
and so uh that is a that's a long list angela that's a long list. All right, ladies. Has he tried to contact you? He did try
to contact me when the post went up. He called me. He was blowing up my phone. And I was actually
talking to Jamie. And he started texting me. And I didn't respond. I just responded,
please don't contact me. You can contact my attorney. And Jamie said he has not reached
out to him. And what about you, Ramona? From 10 years ago, has he tried to reach out?
Of course, of course he's reached out.
But my thing is he can't run old tricks on Ramona.
So it doesn't work anymore.
Well, I want to thank you both for your bravery today
and the courage to be able to speak out against this.
I know this is going to help so many people.
So many people have gone through similar situations,
have not come forward about it, blamed themselves.
And I'm just glad that you guys had the courage to do that.
Thank you, Jamie, for giving us the whole legal aspect and for helping these women out
because, and the men, you know, like Jennifer said, some men have come forward and had some
dealings as well.
So I am hoping that justice gets served in this case.
But if anything, this will prevent the next person from getting scammed as well.
Yes, thank you so much, Angela.
And I really just encourage people, if they run into a situation where they do get scammed,
to please speak up and go see your police and make a report.
Because a lot of these people that I have been speaking with,
they haven't filed reports where they just, you know,
they felt like they were embarrassed or they were naive.
So they didn't go to the police.
And that's one, you know,
common denominator that I've been finding with the people that I've been in
contact with.
Okay. All right. Thank you so much. We're going to follow back up.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
The Breakfast Club.
DJ, Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk
the All In Challenge.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the rumor report with Angela
Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Yes, so somebody just bid $240,000.
That all-in challenge is the fundraiser started by Michael Rubin,
who is co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and founder of Fanatics,
a sports apparel company.
Proceeds from this fundraiser go towards fighting food insecurity amid
coronavirus pandemic and other charities as well.
And for $240,000, somebody just won a double date with Russell Wilson and Ciara.
So that's going to be, I guess, pretty fun for them, right, to go on a double date.
There's a lot of amazing things.
That's a lot of money for a double date, though.
What are we doing for that double date for that price?
I don't know, but you know what?
I mean, clearly these are people that would be donating to charity and they're
getting something from it, you know, for
being able to hang out
with Tom Brady and go to
dinner or work out with him in his first game
with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Right now
that price is up to $775,000
and bidding for that
experience ends tomorrow.
So that's a lot of money.
Yeah, it's dope if you're a super fan
of one of those people. If you're a super fan
of Russell Wilson, a super fan of Ciara,
a super fan of Tom Brady,
that's dope. But if you're just doing that just to
do it, I would love to know why.
Well, maybe to donate money,
you know, because you're like, alright, I'm going to donate money
so I might as well do it through this
charity and win this auction and get
something from it, perhaps.
You know, they have a Kevin Durant dinner, courtside seats and NCAA Player of the Year trophy.
That's $65,000.
And then there's things that you can bid on that are just $10 that are actually raffle entries to win other prizes as well.
So it goes from $10 up to almost $775,000 right now.
All right.
Tyler Perry is working on a way to reopen his Atlanta studios safely.
So what they're trying to do right now is he'll make sure that everybody gets tested.
Everybody who tests negative would be invited on the lot.
And that's when they will live there during the entire production.
The cast and crew will check in the first day of filming.
If they test negative, then they get to live there during that production.
And they said the facility used to be an army base, as you know.
So there's 141 barracks on site.
All of them are usable.
There's also 40 historic houses that you can live in.
And Tyler Perry also built 30 houses on the lot for various productions.
And all of them are functional.
So they said if this can happen,
then the cast and crew can use those facilities,
which also includes a gym, a bar, and restaurants.
That's smart, man.
That's good.
I would rather people, you know,
figure out ways to try to keep people employed,
especially if you can, you know,
safely contain the situation.
And that's one of them.
I mean, once you're on there,
you can't leave.
Everything you need is on there, on
that lot. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Nobody got to get fired.
You can't leave, you know. That's it. Come in,
you test negative, you can't leave. All right. Good to
go. Yep. Nobody get fired. Nobody
get furloughed. I love that. Yep.
All right. Scarface has
given an update on his health, but that's
after his battle with coronavirus
where he said he was inches away from death.
He was on a Zoom chat with Willie D,
and here's what he had to say.
I got to change my entire diet.
I got to do dialysis four days a week.
You know, before the COVID, I never had kidney disease.
So I could not go to the hospital with COVID
because I didn't want them to put me on a ventilator.
You know, everybody putting on ventilators is dying, bro.
So that three weeks, that month that I did in my house was like hell, bro.
I couldn't keep food down.
I couldn't get comfortable.
I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't stay woke.
And like I said, I couldn't breathe, bro.
Wow.
So he's going to change his whole diet now.
And imagine having to go through that constantly.
You know, he said he does dialysis four days a week, three hours a day.
They take all his blood out, clean it and then put it back in.
Wow. Yeah, that's my that's my that's my guy.
I check on face every couple of days.
And last time I spoke to him a few days ago, he definitely was in the hospital, said the same exact thing.
He's getting dialysis for his kidneys. but Faze is a strong brother, man. You know, he's been through worse,
so he'll get through this. Now, Andy Cohen is speaking out. He actually wanted to donate plasma
and that's because he also had coronavirus, but he said that he couldn't. Now, here's the reason
why you can't, or why Andy Cohen can't. I signed up for a program for COVID-19 survivors where you
could donate plasma to those still battling the virus. I was told that due to antiquated and
discriminatory guidelines by the FDA to prevent HIV, I am ineligible to donate blood because I'm
a gay man. Even the new relaxed rules require gay men to abstain from sex for three months,
whether they're in a monogamous relationship or not, before giving blood,
though no such blanket restrictions exist for people of other sexual orientations.
I don't get that.
If they're doing HIV screenings on the blood, what does it matter?
What does it matter if a person's gay or not?
Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me either.
Yeah, clearly these are very old, antiquated, discriminatory guidelines
that people are having to abide by, and right now they need to update that
because that's ridiculous.
Imagine you're trying to do something that can help people,
and you're being told that you can't even help others
because of this discrimination.
Yeah, it shouldn't matter if they do if they're doing hiv screening on the blood that's it like either their blood is hiv positive or it's not simple all right i'm angela yee and that is
your rumor report all right thank you miss yee now shout to revolt we'll see you guys tomorrow
everybody else the people's choice mixes up next Get your request in. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, shout out to Jennifer Williams for joining us this morning.
Absolutely.
Yes, I appreciate her for sharing her story.
I know it's not easy when people are criticizing you for speaking out about something that happened to you.
But the truth of the matter is there's a lot of people out here that are getting swindled, that are getting
conned, and she allegedly is going
through what she's going through, so I'm hoping that
the police are able to finally do something.
As we've said, this is an active investigation,
so if anybody feels empowered
now to come forward and talk about what's happened to them
or if this story can help you in some way,
that's all we can really hope for.
All right. And you know, man,
I want to say, man,
I think it's very disrespectful.
Everybody that was sending me the links
to the Last Dance documentary,
DJ Envy being one of them,
that's not the way God wants us to watch
that Last Dance documentary.
How you know God ain't sending leaks over, though?
Because it's illegal to do that type of stuff
And you know if you can't obey the laws of the land
That you live under
Then you can't possibly obey the laws of God
So it's very disrespectful
Stop sending me that
I got all the episodes up to like episode 8
I wasn't tempted to watch it not once
I actually replied back to the people that sent me that
This is not the way God wants us to watch this
And I enjoyed it last night
I will say this is an amazing time for this docuseries
And I'm glad they did push it up
While we're all at home and trying to find some great content to watch
I do think the timing is amazing
So it's a good thing that they did start showing that earlier than they were supposed to
You know what else it's going to do too?
If the NBA comes back
It's going to put a lot of pressure on NBA superstars
because I think a lot of these youngins, they have a bar, right?
But their bar for so long has been LeBron and Kobe.
I don't know if a lot of these young players necessarily understand
the greatness of a Michael Jordan or a Scottie Pippen or a Dennis Rodman.
Whoever it was, I think it's going to make all of them better.
But I think LeBron James' work ethic is pretty crazy and pretty insane.
I didn't say LeBron. Do you listen?
I said the younger players, they looked up to LeBron and Kobe.
But even LeBron.
But even LeBron.
LeBron's bar is going to be raised as well
because if you just look at this level of greatness
and what the Chicago Bulls were able to execute if they bring back the NBA season this year after all of them
brothers sitting at home watching this man you're gonna see some very inspired basketball very I
will say that we've seen LeBron working out on social media and he also is as we see him as a
leader on his team you know he is very uh Michael Jordan-esque, I guess, in the way
that he's very, put the pressure on to win.
No? No.
No. No, LeBron is
not Michael Jordan-esque.
He's Michael Jordan-esque in the way that he works out,
in the way that he trains, in the way that he gets ready,
but his mentality on that court is
totally different, I think.
Totally, totally different. And by the way, we got to stop
doing that because LeBron is great as LeBron,
but Michael Jordan is just, he's just something else.
Like, and I'm talking about Michael, it's just different.
Like, it's just a different mentality that would have caused him to win
in whatever, you know, industry he was in.
Like, you just, it's just different, man.
I can't explain it.
Wouldn't you say the game is different now, though, because they
don't let you get as physical either?
Yeah, the game is definitely different now.
Let me ask you a question, Shalmay.
We haven't even talked an ish to each other. I feel like they kind of don't allow that either.
Yeah, they'll blow the whistle immediately now.
Did he talk about playing
baseball yet on the documentary?
No, not yet.
Alright, I'm a little ahead of you guys.
Alright, well, when we come back, we got the positive notes.
No booze.
Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, I just want to say something.
Charlamagne, you mentioned that people sent you the documentary, sent you a bunch of parts.
They sent you three, four, five, six.
Parts one through eight.
Yeah, parts one through eight.
You was one of those people.
You was definitely
one of those people.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
But if anybody out there
has nine and ten,
not to say that I would want it,
but if you do have it,
I want it.
I don't want it.
I just don't feel like,
I feel like timing is important.
I feel like the,
I feel like the day
something comes on, the time it comes on,
that's all part of like a universal plan.
So I like to watch things as is.
And so I don't want to see it like that.
I like the energy I'm receiving.
Okay.
You know what's hard for me about Sunday nights too?
There's a lot of stuff that's on TV that I want to watch.
I did get to watch Insecure last night also.
And it was a pretty amazing episode.
It looks like Lawrence and Issa
might be re-sparking some things.
But you got to watch it to see what happens.
And there's some
surprises on there.
I still love that show. It's hard just because
that's on and then Insecure is on and then
90 Day Fiance is on.
Today's a catch-up day for me.
And I watched Black AF, by the way,
I'm up to episode seven. Oh, how is it? I was like, let me see what's going on on this show
because I hear so many mixed things about it. I definitely thought some parts of it were pretty
funny as far as a satire. I can understand why some people feel like it is a lot of the same
topics from Black-ish because they had a Juneteenth episode, so I get that.
It's more uncensored and
a little more harsh than watching Black-ish.
I think Envy in particular,
you might enjoy it because there's
some similarities. He has six kids. I know you have
five, but with all the kids and then
with Rashida Jones'
character, the wife, she actually
was the original breadwinner
of the family and then she made a sacrifice so that
he could be the breadwinner and she's kind of the smarter one and i feel like in your relationship
he is a smarter one and so there's some things that i could feel like i could see she was a
breadwinner at first right that's what i'm saying so black af is trash it's literally a bunch of
it's trash it's literally a bunch it bunch, it's like white people doing an impression
of what they think black people act like.
And it's so weird because they're black.
Like, it's like bougie black people pretending to be ghetto as hell.
Like, it's so corny.
There's some things that don't even necessarily have to do with that, though.
Like, you know, their 13-year-old daughter dancing to City Girls and posting it online and what does that look like and what does that mean and then
it's educational about how black women are made to seem like they're older you're talking about
a 13 year old daughter who don't even want to be black who doesn't even identify as black on the
show yeah i think it's interesting oh that show i'm only in episode seven but i did enjoy it and
yeah i definitely didn't think it was garbage.
I haven't seen it.
And I love Kenya Barris, but he should not be in front of the camera
in no way, shape, or form.
He has no presence.
He has no presence.
And it is, you know, there is more cursing and it is more edgier,
but it's way less funnier than Black-ish.
Like, why do another version of Black-ish?
We have Black-ish already.
Like, i don't
i don't i don't i don't get it i thought it was there were some parts that i think were enjoyable
i did it and i was i was watching like i binge watched it and didn't want to turn it off so
i enjoyed it and why did and why is the why is he cursing out his daughters and why is his
daughters cursing him out like what where does that happen at they're like a privileged entitled family once again that
is also dealing with being black once again it's like white people doing a bad impression
of black people well i don't i've never seen no what black household where a father can just curse
out a daughter and the daughter curse out the father of the young girl?
It's like, what?
That don't happen.
But you know how sometimes you see like the black kids go to school with the white kids and then they come home doing the same things they see the white kids doing to their parents?
Once again, it's a show that seems like white people doing a bad impersonation of black people.
And it makes no sense because they're all black.
And listen, I know black people aren't monolithic and everybody's different but i i've never met anybody like that
family on black af and guess what if i did i wouldn't hang out with them they're a bunch of

and the complete acceptance of yourself
becomes the complete acceptance of everyone else.

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.

Hey y'all, Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called
Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before
Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning
in to Historical Records because in order to make history,
you have to make some noise.
