The Breakfast Club - Is it racism or just preference?

Episode Date: January 29, 2019

1-29- 29 Today on the show we were joined by Dr.Jess who spoke about mental health and even got a chance to give advice to our listeners about it. Moreover, after a caller called up and posed the question, 'is it racism if you want your child to bring home someone of the same race?' on our segment "Get It Off Your Chest" we opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought. Also, Florida keeps giving stories for Charlamagne to call them out on  "Donkey of the Day" and this time a Floridian is getting the hee- haw for finding a grenade and then taking it to Taco Bell.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday.

Yes, it's Tuesday. I think Charlamagne got some flowers this morning. Well, actually, before we get to that, because I thought that they were important, but they're not. But I would like to say. What? Today is Oprah Winfrey's birthday. It's your mama's birthday. Drop one of the clues bombs for Oprah Winfrey.

You know my last name is Pinky Smith Winfrey Nose Carter. Today is also Harriet Tubman's birthday. That's right. Okay. Drop one of the clues bombs for Harriet Tubman. Yes, what a day. Today is also National Free Thinkers Day. Okay?

So all you group thinkers, you have to sit this one out. But most importantly, today is Curmudgeon's Day. Drop one of the clues bombs for all the curmudgeons out there. If you don't know what a curmudgeon is, it's a cantankerous, difficult, and bad-tempered person who is usually also an old man. Now to the flowers. Angela Yee. Yes. I see you got some flowers.

That's nice. Listen, man. It's not for him. First of all, this has to stop. It's not for him. No, seriously. This has to stop.

Okay, this is the card for the flowers. How many roses is this? Like 36 roses? Two dozen or three dozen? Two or three dozen red roses, right? It says, Charlemagne,

these are for Taylor. If you a real one, give them to her. Also, Taylor, if you read this, keep your head up. Sincerely, your biggest fan. First of all, Taylor is a producer of ours. Those flowers are beautiful, by the way. Yeah, they are. Those are not cheap ones.

She's one of the producers on The Breakfast Club. She produces a couple podcasts for us as well. That's an amazing... She has to stop sending gifts for herself here at the radio station. There's no way she said that. You know, Angela Yee,

listen to me. She would not have spent that much money sending herself flowers. She would have sent it to herself. She wouldn't have sent it to Charlamagne than me.

She did the same thing last week when it was Mikayla's born day. What'd she do? Mikayla is somebody else who works up here. Right.

It was Mikayla's born day. She sent herself a box of flowers. Really? Yes. First of all, Taylor is. She sent herself a box of flowers. Really? Yes. First of all, Taylor is way too cheap to send

herself those flowers, okay? She's not going to spend that much money. Send those. Those are beautiful. Shout out to Taylor's secret admirer.

No, this has to stop. She's doing this herself. Can't y'all see? Those are some really nice flowers. Taylor, how much they cost, Taylor?

I don't know. I want to buy this for my wife. Taylor, you're going to have to at least go on a date with this guy or girl. We don't know who it is. Now listen, Taylor's you're going to have to at least go on a date with this guy or girl. We don't know who it is.

Now, listen. Taylor's my niece. But why would they send me flowers to give to Taylor? If I'm a real one, I'll give them to Taylor. Why would they? They wanted those flowers on air. The reason you send people flowers at work is so that other people can see them. Did he sign a name?

No. Or she signed a name? No. Taylor, how much they cost? I want to get them for my daughter. Taylor. How much were they? Where'd you get them from?

Taylor. Where did they come from? I don't know. We'll call the flower booth. There you go. Right there. get them for my daughter. Taylor. How much were they? Where'd you get them from? Taylor. Where did they come from? I don't know. We'll call the flower booth. There you go. Write this. Woo! There you go.

You're thinking. Write this down. It's from yourredroses.com. We got the number right here. We're going to call and see who delivered these flowers. If he was a real one, he would have used pro flowers. That's true. That's very true.

This has to stop, man. Why? Why is Taylor doing this? Why is she sending stuff up here for herself? Taylor, can I buy those for you? I want to give them to my daughter. No, you can't buy those. I can't buy them for you.

Those are her flowers. Now, Taylor, if you're smart, you sell 12. It's 36 of them. It's 36 of them. You can sell a dozen. You can sell a dozen. Those are your flowers. Come get your funky-ass flowers, Taylor.

All right, here we go. Here, please. Get them here. And before we start this show this morning, while she does her flowers, I want to shout out to Carl Weber. Do you guys know Carl Weber? She's skipping for them. She's excited.

She's skipping. Who is Carl Weber? We know Chris Weber, but not Carl Weber. No, Carl Weber's an author. He's published more than 2,500 books also for other people. He has his own, he has the largest African-American-owned publishing company in the world. Okay. But he also has his own series on BET called The Family Business.

And that was the first season. I think tonight is the finale of the first season. So we're hoping he gets a second season of The Family Business. But I hosted a book club with him yesterday. On BET? Yeah, BET. Oh, watch BET. I've never seen that show ever in my life.

Ernie Hudson's on it. You've never seen it? Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters? Yes. Ernie Hudson? He plays the dad in The Family Business. Oh, it's a scripted show. Yeah, it's a scripted show. Oh, I've never seen that in my life. It's based on his

series, The Family Business. Oh. And so I just want to shout out to Carl Webber because he was there. And I think it's amazing that he's done what he's done. Like the largest African-American owned publishing company in the world. They call him the P. Diddy of books. Drop on the clues box. Shout out to him, man. I'm all about that literary world.

Shout out to him. All right. And I would like to know if anybody has ever had a co-worker send flowers to themselves. Stop it. She didn't send those to herself. Our classmates send flowers to themselves. If they were some raggedy flowers, I would have thought she sent them to herself maybe. Nah, that would look bad.

Those are some really nice flowers. Nah, they would look bad. It's two weeks in a row. You sound kind of jealous, though. I ain't going to lie, bro. No, I just know what this is. Why are you hating so much? I know what this is.

Somebody likes her. Someone sent her flowers. No way. Somebody call us. Listen, just call up and tell us if you've ever had a classmate send herself flowers. Stop it. Or a coworker send himself flowers. You're being a bully, Charlotte.

We have to start the show. National curmudgeon day. Dr. Jess will be joining us this morning. Drop with a clue card for Dr. Jessica Clements. So we'll kick it with her. Mental health professional. We'll open up the phone lines for you and all that. And also, don't forget, get it off your chest, 800-585-1051.

Now, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes, well, let's talk about Howard Schultz. We told you he's potentially running for president. And he got interrupted. Some people are protesting him actually running. You know, he's the former CEO of Starbucks. All right, we'll get into that when we come back.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, let's get ready for the Super Bowl. Now, they're saying that there's going to be about $6 billion in bets that are going to be placed for this Super Bowl. Now, the reason that number has gone up so much from last year, it's up 26% from a year ago,

is because last year only Nevada had actual legalized sports betting. This year, there's eight states that have that. So there's eight of them compared with just a year ago. And, of course, people still do their illegal betting as well. There's also going to be male cheerleaders at the Super Bowl. So that's going to be history as well for this Super Bowl because the Rams do have male cheerleaders. So if you guys are ready for that,

then make sure you watch. There's going to be male cheerleaders? That's going to be entertaining. That's going to be dope. Yeah, but they've been cheering all year. Did you know that? Yeah, but not at the Super Bowl. It's the first time at the Super Bowl. We talked about it. We talked about the two men, whatever, they played for the Rams, so the Rams made it to the Super Bowl. So that's why it's their first time at the Super Bowl. Yes, exactly.

All right, now let's talk about Howard Schultz. He did announce that he's preparing to run for president as a third-party candidate. He's a former Starbucks CEO, and he's also on a nationwide tour for his new book. And while he was speaking at a Barnes & Noble event in New York, he was interrupted by protesters. Don't help elect Trump, you egotistical billionaire a**hole. Go back to Davos with the other billionaire elite who think they know

how to run the world. Sheesh. Why are they not even going to get a man a chance? Well, they feel like because he's going to split... Have you been listening to his policies?

You don't know what he stands for. Well, they feel like him running as an independent, he's going to end up splitting the vote to people who would vote for Democrats, and that's going to help the Republican win. That's his right to run.

That's the whole point of America. Now, another person screamed out and interrupted, healthcare is a human right, and that's because when Schultz was on 60 Minutes, he said the country can't afford to provide free healthcare for all. So people were getting removed from... Well, Kamala Harris was on CNN last night saying

she wants free Medicaid for all. So, you know. And on CNN last night saying she wants free Medicaid, Medicaid for all. So, you know. And we're going to have that in New York, I believe, too. So that's the plan here just in New York State. All right. Now, four Houston police officers were shot while serving warrants. They were serving a search warrant and about a dozen narcotics officers, along with some patrol officers, had responded to a residence where they believed their drugs were being sold. As the narcotics officers announced themselves as they got to the front door, gunfire started.

Four undercover narcotics officers were struck by gunfire, and a fifth officer suffered a knee injury as well. So they did kill two suspects at the scene, and they did not release those names yet. Imagine that, going to do your job, serve that warrant, and then people just start Shooting at you right away Yes Very scary

Very crazy Have you guys seen this Major iPhone FaceTime bug Oh yeah I've been hearing about it They can FaceTime you And Annoying

They can talk to you Through FaceTime Or something like that Yes Jay Electronica did this to me About 30 times yesterday You hear your phone start Well you don't even really hear it ring

But you look at your phone And all of a sudden You just hear a voice So even if you're not My phone was in my bag at one point, and I just heard him being like, Angela, don't ignore me. Pick up the phone. And I hadn't even touched my phone. That's whack, yo.

If y'all think that's not an invasion of privacy, something is wrong. I'm about to go back to just a regular flip phone. I'm going to be totally honest with you. The way that people are doing it, you want to know how to do it? No. Somebody did it to me yesterday, actually. Yeah, it was all day. But they hit me to let me know that they were going to do it. No, I had no idea. So yeah, tell me how to do it? No. Somebody did it to me yesterday, actually. Yeah, it was all day. But they hit me to let me know that they were going to do it.

No, I had no idea. Tell me how to do it. I'm curious. You start a FaceTime video call with somebody in your contacts. And while that call is dialing, you swipe up and tap add a person and add your own phone number. That's how you do it. And that starts a group FaceTime. And so the person doesn't even have to answer the phone and you can hear them and they can hear you.

See, I thought it was. It's a glitch. When I first heard about it, I thought that they could FaceTime you and still see what you were doing. No, they can't see you. They can only hear you. I was about to say, the faithful black male community was about to triple overnight, okay, if that was the case. My goodness.

All right. That's front page news. 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. I'm getting to pick up the mother-mother phone

and dial. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing, sir? My name is James. How you doing, sir? Get it off your chest. Hey, good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I had a quick question for y'all. Before I ask my question, let me say this to y'all. I feel like racism is something that you're not born a racist, and I feel like it's being taught. You have to be taught to be a racist. So my question to you guys is, should black

parents, is black parents wrong for raising their kids to be racist against other racists who are racist to us, black people? I don't think you're raising your kids to be racist. I just think you're telling your kids the reality of the world and you let them make their own decisions. Correct. I don't think you're telling your kids to be racist at all. I think that we should be against a system of systemic suppression and, I mean, oppression and marginalization. Like, we know white supremacy is real

and we know what it's done to us as a people. So I don't think there's anything wrong with letting your kids know the reality of that and letting them make their own decisions. Right, but at the same time, I feel like racism, I feel like, depending on how you define it, there's nothing wrong with being racist as long as you're not hurting anybody.

What? I wouldn't want to teach kids to be racist. Not racist. He's just saying, I mean, I get it. There's nothing wrong with being racist as long as you're not hurting anybody. What? I wouldn't want to teach kids to be racist. Not racist. He's just saying, I mean, I get it. We all have our own prejudices and biases. It's kind of like for your favorite football team. I mean, if your football team is better than my football team. You're right. I get what you're saying. But I don't know if I would call

that being racist. That's not racist, man. I don't feel like there's nothing wrong with that. That's having pride in your people. Yeah, that's not racism. Don't call that racism. I teach my kids to have pride in their own people. There ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm team black all day long.

But I'm not telling them don't mess with somebody because they white or because they Asian or because they something else. I don't tell them that. Being pro anything don't mean you anti something else. Like, I'm pro black. That don't mean I'm anti everything else. But I hate white supremacy. And I hate racists. And I hate bigots.

Right. If you want to say you pro-white, go ahead. Our cameraman who's a white guy goes, so I can say I'm pro-white? Yeah. You're the one who's. Well, that's your fault. You don't want to shame your. You know the history of your people.

That's why you're afraid to rep your set. Can you say I'm not a racist and be like, well, I don't want my daughter to come home to, you know, bring a white guy home? Yes. That might be a little racist. That's not racist. That's a little racist. Because at the end of the day is yes, you could be pro-black and you could tell your kids about, you know, their heritage, but by saying I don't

want them to bring somebody home because of the color of their skin is a little foul. I don't want my daughter to bring a Washington Redskins fan home. Or a New York Giants fan. Or a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I don't think you should teach your a Washington Redskins fan home or a New York Giants fan or a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I don't think you should teach your kids to hate. You know why?

Because I'm a Cowboys fan. I don't think we should teach kids hate at all. Exactly. That's not hate. I got a preference. I'm just saying. I got a preference.

That sounds so crazy. You know, being that your race is more dominant than another race without hurting nobody, I don't think there's nothing wrong with that. As long as if your daughter does bring home somebody that's not

black and you still accept them because she loves them, that's fine. Now, of course, you as a father can say, man, I really want her to be with a black person. Yes, I have a preference. My preference is for my daughter to be happy. But as long as you're happy, you're okay. That's my main preference, for my daughter to be happy. Now, I ain't gonna lie. But if she's happy with a black man, that's even

more of a plus. My grandmother and my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather, they were racist. If I brought home a white girl, they'd have a problem. Different era, though. Different era. They grew up in an era of segregation. Absolutely. Like, they knew what it was.

Like, different era. Now, for me, I just want my son and my daughter to be happy. But thank you for calling, bro. No, thanks. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up at any time. Yee, we got rumors on the way.

Yes, and this was pretty funny yesterday. Keith Sweat had to apologize on social media. We'll tell you why. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Money. Money. Money. Money. Hey, number one song at Urban Radio, Cardi B. Yes, congratulations to Cardi. This fight is fixed. Drop one of Clues' bombs for Bardi.

Nah, she just makes great music. Shout out to Cardi B. As long as you're on our side, you're good. Oh, stop it. Shout out to Cardi, man. She looks like she's enjoying her life. She's on tour. She's with that little baby.

Shout out to Cardi. All right, well, let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Black Panther. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Angela. Angela Yee. It's talk Black Panther. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The

Breakfast Club. Well, Black Panther will be going back into theaters. It'll be at a select 250 AMC theaters for the week of February 1st to the 7th. So there's no admission for that movie either. So for that one week, if you want to go and see it, it'll be free.

So make sure you check out AMC Theaters to see where it will be from. I guess that's cool. I mean, even though you can just sit in the privacy of your own home and pull it up on your television. There's nothing like going to the movie theater, though. They got on airplanes now, too. It's a nice feeling. That's dope, though.

Yeah, it is. I think I've worn out my welcome with Black Panther and movie theaters. I saw it four times. Yeah, that's a lot. All right, now let's talk about Blac Chyna. She was in Honolulu. Vacation with Kid Boo. Sharp turn Yeah, that's a lot. All right, now let's talk about Blac Chyna. She was in Honolulu vacation with Kid Boo. Sharp turn here, you.

Sharp turn. Sharp turn. Black pants and a Blac Chyna. Sharp turn. All right, well, apparently they got into a really bad argument around 5 a.m. at their hotel there at the Ritz-Carlton. She accused him of cheating, according to sources, and things got violent. According to TMZ, they said that Blac Chyna scratched Kid Buu,

and that's when he slammed her against the wall several times and choked her. Somebody had to call 911, and that's when cops and paramedics arrived on the scene. Well, let the record show Kid Buu was a clone, so clones can malfunction sometimes, so it sounds like he had a malfunction. Now, Kid Buu posted on his social media, thank you, next, and then Blac Chyna posted, single, stop it. Kid Buu is the clone, right? He's a clone?

Is he? I saw an interview he did with Vlad TV. He said he's a clone? I'm convinced. Have you ever seen his interview where he broke down how he's a clone and what laboratory he came from? He even had a number in there. I was like, wow.

I believe him. I have no reason not to believe him. Okay. All right. Well, according to Rob Kardashian, by the way, Blac Chyna has gone missing. Before she went to Honolulu, she was supposed to pick up their daughter, Dream, for her scheduled time. But that's when he found out that she was nowhere around. He couldn't get a hold of her.

They don't communicate with each other. Their nannies actually handle all exchanges about the baby. Is the person really missing if you see them on Instagram every day? You know where she's at. Well, this was before he found out she was in Honolulu. You're missing to pick up your kid. If you're supposed to pick up your kid. You can't do that.

All right, so according to Rob Kardashian, he was not given any type of warning that she would not be available to care for their daughter. And he just felt like that was missing out on daughter mommy time. All right, Keith Sweat has had to apologize. Now, he posted a picture with NBA Youngboy, right? Nothing wrong with that. Except that he wrote, at 21 Savage and Sweat has had to apologize. Now, he posted a picture with NBA Youngboy, right? Nothing wrong with that, except that he wrote, at 21 Savage and Sweat. Well, a lot of people then had to let him know

that that was not 21 Savage. That was NBA Youngboy. I know my OG ain't apologize for that. Well, yeah, he apologized. Why? Now, he posted, our team apologizes for the mistake made in our post. Team Sweat apologized. Why? Now he posted, our team apologizes for the mistake made in our post. Team Sweat apologized. We inadvertently used another artist's name and regret the inconvenience that it caused.

We have made every step to correct this error immediately. Never would I apologize for my oldness, okay? I don't see the problem. Keith Sweat is a 57-year-old King R&B. So what if you don't know the difference between 21 Savage and NBA Youngboy? I don't know the difference between a lot of these youngins either. Yes, you do. No, I don't. Some newspaper said 21 Savage and NBA Youngboy? I don't know the difference between a lot of these youngins either. Yes, you do. No, I know.

Some newspaper said DMX is free yesterday and put DMC. You can put a picture of DMC. That happens. It was all the way in Australia. I get it. Listen, I actually listen to 21 Savage, so I enjoy his music, so I know who he is. But I could mix NBA Youngboy up with all these other acronyms. You don't listen to NBA Youngboy's music?

You would like him. He's dope. You know NBA Youngboy. You got YSN. You got YSL. You got YFN. You got YBN. Y got YSLs. You got YFNs. You got YBNs. You got NBAs.

YFL is a clothing line. YSL. So what is YFL? That's a rapper, right? Yeah, YFL. YBN is a crew, right? Yes. I refuse to apologize for my oldness, God damn it.

We see. Wish I would apologize because I mixed up one of these young boys. Please. All right. Well, it's the right thing to do. He felt bad about it. I remember, Envy, remember we were at an event and you mistook, I think, who was there? Nick Jonas.

You tagged Joe Jonas or something like that. They all look alike. See, I don't listen to pop music, though. I was like, say all white people look alike. But it was just because you tagged the wrong one. Say it. You tagged the wrong Jonas. All white people look alike.

At least you're in the ballpark. I was in the ballpark. I was the same family. Same family. It was pretty funny though. And I want social media to know they're slipping. Because they're supposed to keep sweat up with all kinds of stuff. Like Johnny Gill and NBA Youngboy. Gerald LaVert and NBA Youngboy. Well, people were telling him don't sweat it. That's what they were

supposed to say. D'Angelo and NBA Youngboy. They're supposed to just go crazy. Alright, now Joel Santana wants to delay his jail sentence. And you know why that is? He wants to make sure that he goes to a filming of a Tyler Perry reunion in Georgia. It's crucial. Right on time for Black History Month, baby. To his professional career that he'd be able to participate.

I love this. Is he in it? Are they in it? It will provide closure for him. I love it. Are they in it or no? He just wants to see it. Yes, he's supposed to appear at the event as it pertains to love and hip-hop.

So maybe it's a love and hip-hop filming. Oh, he getting paid. At a Tyler Perry reunion. I don't know. You saw Beyonce and Jay-Z were at the Tyler Perry. I've seen that in New York. Farewell. That was in New York, right?

No, I don't think that was in New York. Okay. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Y'all going to miss Madea? Miss Madea?

What happened to Madea? It's a farewell. No more Madea. Oh, yeah. They are killing Madea. They do have a death from Madea movie coming. Are you going to miss Madea? I've thoroughly enjoyed a lot of Madea films over the years.

Okay. Which one's your favorite? Probably Madea Goes to Jail. But you know what it is? The early ones though, like Diary of a Mad Black Woman. It's the early ones, not necessarily the ones where it was like Madea Goes to Mars or Madea Does Halloween.

She went to Mars? I didn't see that one. You didn't see Madea Goes to Mars? Neither did I. That does not exist. I didn't see none of that. I like the ones when she was just in the movies. When it wasn't about her? Yes. Okay. Yes. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. I was going to ask a stupid question but I asked off air. What?

I'm not sure. Go ahead. I'm not. Who's Madea? No, I know who Madea is. You know I've never seen the Madea movies. We know. We know you haven't seen any time. You confusing Madea with Oprah Winfrey? What you about to do? Whoa! Madea don't look nothing like Oprah Winfrey? What you about to do? Whoa. I wasn't going to say that. Whoa. Madea don't look nothing like no Oprah Winfrey. Professor Klump.

Yes. That's not where they got the Madea character from. Madea wasn't. From Nutty Professor. From Nutty Professor, right? From a whole other movie that has nothing to do with Tyler Perry. I'm interested to hear. I'm just curious.

I don't know. How did you connect the two in your brain? No, you're not going to just speed by this. How did you connect Nutty Professor with Madea? Because it's the same characters I thought. Let's just end this. We shouldn't have let him say it.

All right. I don't know. I didn't see him, so I don't know. I was just asking. How is Professor Klump and Madea the same characters? I don't know.

I was just asking. Professor Klump don't look nothing like Madea. See what I'm saying? So you can confuse people that don't look nothing like Madea.

So I can do Madea and Oprah. Okay. All right. When we come back, front page news, what are we talking about? I don't know. We're talking about Madea.

Let's talk about a possible cure for cancer. Okay. All right. What are we talking about? I don't know. Are we talking about Madea? Let's talk about a possible cure for cancer. Okay. Okay. Now we're talking. It was silly this morning. Actually, Madea is based on

Eddie Murphy's performance in Thatty Professor. I see. I knew it. I knew it. Because she's the big lady with the... I knew it.

How? Wait, wait, hold on. Is it true? Or are you just playing with me? It's true. I knew it. See? Where'd you get that from?

See? Where'd you get it from? You're right, En playing with me? It's true. I knew it. See? Where'd you get that from? See? Where'd you get it from? You're right, Envy. See? I knew it. I told you. Envy is right. I watched Professor Club

and then I see the Madea and I'm like, it looks like she's... Tyler Perry said he was inspired to create Madea after seeing Envy. I knew it. I could see the character from it.

See? I know what I'm talking about. Congratulations. Thank you. The broken clock is right twice a day. Twice a day. You almost said once a day.

What I'm about to say. Well, mine is once a day. I never claimed to be a scholar. Never have I claimed to be a scholar. I'm so happy he writes. I am. I'm so happy. Front page news is next, y'all.

Good morning, everybody. Can you confuse Kodak Black and Black Youngster? No. No. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about here?

Well, let's talk about what you guys were discussing this morning. Kamala Harris, she has introduced herself as a 2020 presidential candidate. And she was at Drake University in Des Moines. And she talked about some of her policies. Here's what she had to say. We have a problem in this country of mass incarceration. We have a problem in this country of not having adequate response and consequence when young people who are unarmed are shot. We have a real problem in this country about

disproportionate application of the law based on who is charged with a crime, what kind of bail is set for them, what kind of sentencing they receive. Based on race, that's the work that I've been doing also in the Senate, focusing on that, such as a bill that I have that would seek to reform the bail system in the United States and ultimately get rid of the cash bail system. All right. She also talked about backing Medicare for all, getting rid of private health insurance and supporting a green new deal to address climate change. She talked about cutting taxes for the middle class, saying it would be the first thing she would do if she was elected as president. And she talked about DACA, about the Dreamers. Yeah, I mean,

the thing they was killing Kamala for was her questionable criminal justice record. And so she answered questions about that last night. She was a prosecutor. How did she answer that? That was part of the answer just now, but I mean, she was a prosecutor. I mean, what I took from it is a prosecutor is going to lock people up. And I know she's black, but sorry, when you're a prosecutor,

you have to lock people up regardless of what their race are., but sorry, when you're a prosecutor, you have to lock people up regardless of what their race are. People are very upset about that, though. They're very mad that they feel like she shouldn't have locked people up,

which I don't understand. If people deserve to be locked up, they deserve to be locked up. Depending on what they got locked up for, correct. But you think because she's black, she's supposed to just let

all black and brown people off? That's not the way the prosecutor works. You know, I don't get it. And to me, she seems like a person who was tough on crime when she needed to be,

but she also sees the flaws in the justice system and she's implemented a lot of re-entry and diversion initiatives to change them. That's what I took from her. Well, it's always good to do research, too. So for everybody out there who has questions, make sure you do your own research. Yeah, look up her Back on Track re-entry

program, which put first-time offenders into apprenticeship and training programs instead of prison. Okay? Alright, now, as we get ready for the Super Bowl, they're saying Americans are expected to place $6 billion in bets on the Super Bowl. And it's also going to be the first time they've had male cheerleaders at the Super Bowl.

So that's a first as well. Okay, okay. Play show bets. Who y'all betting on? I'm not betting on either one. I think the Patriots. I think the Patriots. I mean, I guess I would like to see the Patriots win only because I like to see those dynasties. Because, you know, we come from the Chicago Bulls era when they won six championships.

So it'd be cool. Yeah, I want to see them win. Now, according to reports, we could potentially have a cure for cancer in the next year. A team of Israeli scientists say that they plan to have that developed. And it's a new treatment. They said, we believe we will offer in a year's time a complete cure for cancer. Our cancer cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks,

and will have no or minimal side effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market. The treatment is called Mutato. Mutato. M-U-T-A-T-O. Well, conspiracy theorists would say that means they're about to start making money off something else. The cure. They're going to introduce a new disease in the marketplace if they're curing one.

I hope not. All right, and what do you think is the most financially distressed city in the nation? If you had to guess, the most financially distressed city in the United States, according to local debt counselors and financial analysts. I thought it was Michigan at one time, but I think Michigan is growing now, so I would take Michigan. Well, city, not city. Well, Detroit.

I'm going to bet on somewhere in Florida. But I think Michigan is growing now, so I would take Michigan. Well, city, not city. Well, Detroit. I'm going to bet on somewhere in Florida. But I think Detroit is doing well now. Now, this city's credit card delinquency rates and level of bad personal debt are the highest in the nation. Oh, Brooklyn. Fraud. No. Brooklyn's not a city. Scamming. Somewhere with a scamming is hot. I don't know where.

New York City. Really? New York City is the most financially distressed city in the nation. Most New Yorkers are living paycheck to paycheck. And the most financially distressed city in the nation. Most New Yorkers are living paycheck to paycheck. And they said if there was an emergency and you needed $400 to cover that emergency, most people ain't got it. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's a high cost of living here right now.

So they said the average credit card balance in Manhattan alone is $7,400. So what's the robbery rate in New York City? People ain't getting stuck up? It is actually going up. It is actually going up since, I would believe, December. That makes sense. I see robberies going up. I mean, I don't know if they're reported, but I've been hearing more and more and more people getting stuck up,

people getting caught at the light, people getting caught at the club, people getting caught walking around to their cars. What about credit card scamming? People ain't doing that no more? Hell yeah. Oh, okay. He said that like she's part of it. Hell yeah. I got okay. He said that like she part of it. Hell yeah.

I got gift cards right now. I got the pieces. My pieces. First of all, we call them Giffies. And second of all, the reason why I know that is because I've had to put all kinds of extra protection on my own identity. What they call them? What them Giffies going for nowadays, G?

You got some Giffies? I don't know what that means. But number two and number three, by the way, is Atlanta and L.A. Just so you know, the most distressed cities. Damn, all the cities that are supposed to be popping? Yep. So all of y'all be fronting on Instagram, huh? A bunch of lying asses.

That's why it's distressed. Exactly. Y'all fronting so much on Instagram that y'all really can't pay y'all bills. Atlanta. It's going to be so many people fronting in Atlanta this weekend. This weekend for Super Bowl? For the Super Bowl. Lord have mercy.

Take that rental car back. People renting cars on Wednesday just to keep them until Monday for Super Bowl weekend. Tomorrow, exotic rental car places in Atlanta are going to be popping. Popping. Starting tomorrow. It makes no sense to do it because traffic is going to be crazy. But, hey, have fun. That's cool.

I'm in a rented Rolls. Okay? Driving myself. Okay. All right. All right. I'll take a caravan. I want traffic to Rolls.

I don't want nobody to see me. I'll take a caravan. I'm good with that. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back. Come back. Dr. Jess will be joining us.

Jessica Clemons. She's a mental health professional. That's right. If you remember the show I did on VH1 last year, In Session Live with Dr. Jess, she was the mental health professional that was hosting the show. Okay. All right.

So we'll talk to her and we'll actually take your call. So if you have some questions for Dr. Jess, 800-585-1051. We'll do that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes. Dr. Jess.

Dr. Jessica Clemens. Dr. Jessica Clemens. Dr. Jessica Clemens. But we call her Dr. Jess. But we call her Dr. Jess. Yes. Yes. Dr. Jess. Dr. Jessica Clemons. Dr. Jessica Clemons. Dr. Jessica Clemons. But we call her Dr. Jess. But we call her Dr. Jess. Welcome, Dr. Jess. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Thank you for returning. Now, have you received any backlash from other mental health professionals about

you providing advice or treatment publicly? I haven't. Like on Instagram and stuff? No. No, surprisingly. I think I was worried a little bit that people might respond with, what are you doing? Or do you have a supervisor? But no, it's actually been really positive. I actually had an article in Forbes that came out.

I saw it. Yeah. And so from there, I had a lot of really positive, even responses from that. My medical school actually like posted it and shared it multiple times. I even did, like, a throwback Thursday and posted the article again. Wow. So, yeah.

Have you seen any changes in your student, or I should say your subject, after you had your conversation? Any changes in Charlamagne at all? Oh, my goodness. I'm serious. Did you see the bad change at all? Are you on drugs? What narcotic are you on this morning?

That's not nice, Charlamagne. You're right. So you haven't seen a change. You haven't seen a change at all. I didn't just want to assume he has mental health issues. I put it on drugs. Right, that's not nice. There are people really out there with drug issues.

That is true. Don't act anything like that. That is very true. I would never disrespect them by comparing them to DJ Envy. Is that a positive thing for me? Okay, I'm sorry. Now, Dr. Jess, people ask me questions all the time. I have one for you that I think would be appropriate for you to answer.

Okay. Hi, Yee. I've been with my girlfriend almost seven years. I've been battling depression for about two years. Recently, I asked my girlfriend if maybe we should live apart after our lease is up so I can have time to myself. My depression has really took a toll on me lately, and I wanted some time alone to battle my demons.

I didn't ask to break up just to live apart. She flipped out, took some of her stuff out of our home that we share and told me she's not coming back. I thought she would have been more understanding. She treats my depression like it's a problem instead of being my support. What should I do? Oh, so I'm really sorry that this person is going through that. I always want to try to validate what a person's experiencing.

I mean, it sounds like her partner has already kind of made a decision about moving out. I wonder if they would be interested in having like couples counseling to learn about ways that the partner could help support this person who wrote to you while they're going through depression. Obviously, they should also consider getting treatment. Usually people who do suffer from depression, it's best to get into some sort of therapy or take medication rather than try to deal with it alone.

Yeah, and actually push people away who could be more supportive. I'm sorry. Go ahead. I was going to ask about depression because a lot of people say they're depressed. But I think it's almost, I don't want to say it's a fad, but it's an easy thing to say. I'm depressed. What is a state of depression where people should really get help? Because people would be sad and they'd be like, I'm depressed, I'm depressed.

But they throw that word around so loosely. Yeah, exactly. So in terms of depression, there's a clinical form that we look at when we're diagnosing. And so a person does have to feel, quote, like depressed for at least two weeks. But it's usually a number of other symptoms they're experiencing. They may have changes with their appetite, not sleeping as well or sleeping too much. They may feel fatigued. Some people even have difficulty with concentrating, lack of sexual kind of drive, also feeling hopeless. And for some, they begin to feel

suicidal. So when I'm diagnosing someone with depression, I'm looking at a number of things beyond simply them saying I feel depressed. I'm looking for signs and symptoms. Is there always a route to depression? Sometimes I get in my funks and I really don't know why. And I'd be writing down in my journal, funks. I'd be writing down in my journal, like, you know, why? What happened today? And I can't never get to the root of why I'm just depressed.

Well, I mean, some people believe there is. So people who study psychoanalytic theory believe that depression is at the root. Anger turned internally. So instead of turning anger out into the world, you may turn it in on yourself. And so that's kind of how that illness comes about. But for some people, there is not like an actual trigger. It can be biological, meaning like things that are, you know, happening within the brain, some of it's genetic.

So I think if you are in that moment feeling sad, going back to the point of just throwing the word depressed, it may not be in fact that you're like actually depressed, but maybe you have a reason to feel a little down that day. Or not. You're right. And it's going to sound crazy. Like, say somebody does something to you, right?

And you want to physically hurt them. Like what? Or physically get them hurt. But you know you can't do that. So that can cause you to internally be mad at yourself is what you're saying? Because you can't really do what you want to that person? So I don't necessarily think that would lead one to feel depressed. When I'm talking about...

I want to kill you because I can't. I'm depressed. I'm depressed that I can't get you touched. You're sick, man. I'm serious. I've been thinking about that. You want to kill people? Not kill them, but just get them touched.

You want to get somebody hurt? I just resort to that sometimes. I do. I'm not going to lie. You're a sick individual. When I can't get that done because I know better, I get depressed.

I don't necessarily think those two go together. But what I do think is He needs more help. Something not on that level, I think a lot of people struggle with challenges at work. I kind of use that all the time in an example. So if someone is feeling like they can't get through to their boss, they're not necessarily feeling as successful challenges at work. I kind of use that all the time in an example. So if someone is feeling like,

you know, they can't get through to their boss, they're not necessarily feeling as successful as they should be at work. Instead of learning ways to become more assertive or to engage with their boss so that they can get the outcome they want, they may start to feel depressed, right? And so that anger that would be directed not as violence towards like a boss or the workplace. You turn it in and just you become less active, less kind of assertive in your approach. But not I don't really think that we're thinking about people trying to kill folks. I don't think that's what he is. He is obviously.

But back to the question I was asking, the reason I wanted to ask you that question in particular was how do people deal with someone who around them, someone they love who's dealing with depression? How is it, how can you see the signs of that? And if they want to be left alone, what are you supposed to do? Some of the signs that I think people can recognize is obviously if a person is saying that they felt really sad or depressed and it's been continuous for a couple of weeks. But if you notice that they're withdrawing from activities that they normally do, like, for example, if this couple typically goes out on dates or they have friends over all the time and that person, while they're depressed, is less interested in that, maybe they're staying in bed, eating a bunch of junk food that they normally

don't. If you're just seeing changes in their behavior, obviously, if they say, I don't want to live, I want to kill myself, that is a huge indicator that there is a problem. So I think just paying attention to the way that the person is interacting is a good sign, you know, to kind of give you an indication that something's wrong. And then, you know, you really have to know the person to understand what helps them. For some people, spending a little time alone can be helpful. But what we talk a lot about within mental health is behavioral activation and almost doing the opposite of what you feel like you want to do when you're depressed. Right. I don't want to be around anyone. I want to be alone.

Actually, that will make you feel worse. So you should do more like schedule that that date that maybe you don't want to have. So I think the best way that a person can support them is obviously don't become their, you know, sort like the who they start to like direct their anger towards. But just try to keep them motivated. But also you can't pour from an empty cup. So if there comes a point when they're maybe taking their anger out on you, you may have to give them some space and really encourage them to get in treatment. All right. We got more with Dr. Jess when we come back. Matter of fact, we'll take your calls.

800-585-1051. Dr. Jess is here. If you have a question for her, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Dr. Jess is in the building, and we're taking your calls. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? No pressure. Dr. Jess. This is Isaiah. Isaiah, good morning, sir. Hey, good morning. How you doing? How you doing? Everybody No pressure. Dr. Jess. This is Isaiah. Isaiah, good morning, sir. Hey, good morning. How you doing? How you doing?

Everybody's great. Dr. Jess is here. You have a question for Dr. Jess? Hey, Dr. Jess, how you doing? Good, thank you. How are you? I'm well. So my question for you, Dr. Jess, is me being a 23 year old, mental health isn't necessarily something that me and my friends talk about. Not at all, actually.

So I guess I'm just wondering, how would you go about bringing that up without necessarily looking like, I don't know, kind of lame, but just getting laughed at, I guess. Without looking crazy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so I guess what I'm hearing you say is just how do you start these conversations about are you taking care of yourself?

Are you taking care of your overall mental health? Well, yeah, because I mean, like, I know mental health runs in my family. Like, my mom suffered from depression, my grandmother, et cetera. So, like, how do I make sure my guys is good? Like, how do you bring that up without looking crazy like Envy said? So, I mean, already I'm thinking, like, if these people are your friends, right? I imagine that you guys do things together that make you all feel supported. So, I don't know if that's having dinner or going out for drinks. I think use a casual environment where you guys are already feeling bonded just to kind of start

to share. I don't think that you necessarily have to pour out all of the details of your family, but you can just check in. Maybe it's sharing with them that, you know, someone in your family has been suffering in silence and you would want to just know what they're doing to keep themselves feeling well. But I think the fact that you guys already are bonded and have a friendship, you should not be so afraid about sounding crazy like those are your boys. You should be able to talk about things openly

and freely anyways. Also, lead by example. Lead by example. Once you start going to therapy and people start seeing how it's helping you, then your boys will be like, dang, I want to get on that too. Word. They're going to kind's helping you, then your boys will be like, dang, I want to get on that too. Word. They're going to kind of look at me and they're going to reflect. You know what?

I do appreciate that information today, guys. I really appreciate that. All right, man. Thank you, man. All right. Have a good one. Hello. Who's this?

Hey, how are you? This is Brandon from Southern California. How are you? What's up, Brandon? What's your question for Dr. Jess? Okay, Mr. Jess. Quick question. So as anxiety is something that overwhelms different

people's lives, is there something in the cognitive process that stops people from overcoming that or having them be more overwhelmed by it? Because there's a lot of different people who know they have anxiety and they know what they can do to overcome it, but it still gets to them. So I was just curious if there was something that is that that's stopping it. Okay, so I'm going to try to answer that just in terms of thinking about like the way that the brain is wired. So the amygdala is a part of your brain that is responsible for fear. And so the thought is that anxiety is really kind of more active if you have the area of the brain, the amygdala,

is like firing a little bit more in certain situations. So I guess to your point about, is there some people who can overcome it a little bit more easily than others? The answer is yes. But I think what's important to know about anxiety is that, you know, it's treatable. You can take care of that by going to therapy, medication, also engaging in things like meditation and yoga are a way to kind of help soothe you if you are a person who has a lot of activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain that is responsible for, like, fear.

Did that answer your question? It answered it perfectly. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Yeah, hello. You're cooking, Dr. Jess. You're cooking.

What's your name, bro? John. Hey, John. What's your question for Dr. Jess now? Yeah, my question is sometimes I go to bed and I wake up depressed. What causes that? That's my question. Yeah.

You have to go to work? Yeah. What do you work? What do I work? We need more information, right? So you're telling me you go to sleep and you wake up depressed. I'm curious about is that something that happens every night? Is there an event?

No, no, no. It's every now and then, once in a while. You know what I mean? Not depressed, but just sad for no reason, you know? And I can't find the cause of that sadness. I feel you, brother. I don't know. He might not have a girlfriend.

He might be lonely. You might hate your job and be like, damn, I got to go in there again today. Well, mine works both ways. I wake up extremely depressed sometimes and extremely happy sometimes. And don't know why either or is happening. Oh, maybe you had a dream and the dream was sad. Maybe a bad dream. Well, they are

definitely are people who believe that your dreams can kind of begin to inform the way that you feel in the morning. I would say, you know, this is probably a great case to consider talking to someone in therapy. I really can't answer that question as to why you wake up feeling depressed. But those are the types of questions that could be explored if you find that you also have, you know,

if this is happening often or if there are other things that you're recognizing that are, you know, kind of off for you. Do you remember your dreams? No, no, no. It's not even a dream like i sleep and i wake up and i just feel sad inside because that happens to me sometimes but only if i have like sometimes i have a sad dream like a funeral and then i'll wake up and be really sad but i know it's later on i'll be like oh it's my dream because sometimes i'll remember later on that i had a dream and i'll be like oh that's why I felt that way this morning. Absolutely. Yeah. A trick I've learned is not to go to bed with any baggage from the day.

Like, write down what you're grateful for before you go to bed, what you're thankful for. And like, I like to, I don't like to read social media if I go to bed. I like to like read a book or something. I read my positive affirmation card. Just go to bed peaceful. Absolutely. Do you shake it off quickly or is it like the whole day is sad? He's gone. He's gone. And now he's sad again. He's sad peaceful. Absolutely. Do you shake it off quickly or is it like the whole day is sad? He's gone.

And now he's sad again. He's sad again. So you would recommend him to do what, Dr. Jess? For the sadness? She needs more information. Yeah, I mean there's so much more information I'd want to know. I'd want to know obviously how he's doing in terms of functioning. I'd want to know is he like when we were asking about work and he kind of went

silent on that. Right. So who's his support network? I mean, I heard he has an accent. Is he calling from somewhere, you know, in the States? Does he have supports around his family? I mean, there's a lot more like as a psychiatrist, you know, people don't just come in with like, I wake up sad without me. Like I don't just give an answer.

I have to really go through and understand more of that. But I love what you guys are both saying about recognizing the impact dreams may have on the way you feel or what you've taken in that night. I mean, I think people need to also realize these things will most of the time pass unless it's something that's consistent. All right. We got more with Dr. Jess when we come back and we're taking more of your calls. 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. Dr. Jess is in the building and we're taking your calls. 800-585-1051. Teresa.

Hi, how are you? Good morning, Teresa. Where are you calling from? New Jersey. Okay, what's your question for Dr. Jess? I have a question in regards to ADHD and nails, black nails. What are some ways that you can help them other than medication? When you say in black males, are you referring to like a child?

Teenagers in high school? You know, I guess my question back is what's your reservation about medication for ADHD? More so that I just don't want that to be the first method of treatment without trying other options first. And, you know, I just don't want my child to become relying on medicine if he doesn't have to. So ADHD is actually an illness that, you know, a diagnosis, however you want to call it, but that responds very well to medication. And, you know, I'm hearing you say that you would like to think of other ways to manage that without trying medication. But generally people respond very well to it.

And it's something that before they know it, whatever challenges they were having in school or at work really began to resolve because now they can actually concentrate and focus. You know, there are options that are not stimulant medication. So I know that's the one that people are very worried about. Stimulants are like Ritalin or Adderall. They have like street value and, you know, people can abuse them. But there are other medications that treat ADHD that are not stimulants and ideally are not medications that are as, you know, addictive. But that's really where I would recommend. Can I chime in on it? Yeah. Yeah. Just because we have the juice bar and I know for a lot of kids, they say their diet also affects

ADHD and a lot of sugar. Yeah. So sometimes it does help people to change their diet. Absolutely. So you can try those things. I think if someone by the time they're seeing me, they're having a lot of issues. Right. By the time someone comes in front of a psychiatrist, you know, they may be like experiencing problems with school, like they're not doing well in their classes, their grades are suffering. But I think if someone is not to that point, things like diet, people in the summer will sometimes come off of their medication because they don't need to focus as much. So maybe they're engaging in activities that are a little bit more physical. You know, you can try to do things like get them a tutor if you find that that's a part of the challenge that they're not in activities that are a little bit more physical. You know, you can try to do things like get them a tutor

if you find that that's a part of the challenge, that they're not able to focus on their work. But, you know, in my experience, I've found that trying medication, usually that's when the person responds very well. And then, you know, my job is really kind of done at that point. All right. Well, thank you. Good luck, Mama. How do you know what medication to put them on? For ADHD?

Yeah. There's generally kind of like an algorithm that you start with certain medications. If someone, like it sounds like this mother, doesn't want her child to be on a stimulant, you start with a medication that isn't, and you just see how they respond to it. Is medication a last resort, you would say, before trying other things? For me, no. For me, again, as a psychiatrist, we really want to, therapy is something I talk a lot about and is a part of my training, but medication is

something that can be very helpful. Because there are side effects, I'm sure. Yes, there are. For stimulants, which are used to treat ADHD, so like Ritalin, Adderall, typically what we look for are like loss of appetite. For some people, they can, you know, experience kind of like shakiness, jitteriness. That's why some people take Adderall now just to lose weight. They do. I've heard people abusing that. I want to go to one more call.

This lady, she's pregnant. Hey, Stacey, ask your question for Dr. Jess. Doctor, I just recently found out I was pregnant and I suffer from anxiety real bad. So I started smoking weed because she told me to go off my anxiety medication. Now she wants me to go off the marijuana. What can I do to help with

my anxiety? So that's a good question, Doc. So now she's pregnant. She can't smoke weed. She can't take her medication. What can she do for these nine months? They might have a baby-friendly screen, though. We don't know. A baby-friendly screen.

Do you ever try meditation or anything? Because Dr. Jess has been talking about the benefits of meditation. I'm in therapy. I do all of that. It's just I don't have control. I don't know how to explain it. My anxiety, like, I don't know how to say it. It's like, I don't know, like my mind be like gold.

Like, it be like my mind. Calm down, baby. You sound anxious now. I don't know what Dr say it's like I don't know like my mom be like go like it'd be like my mom so you know I would encourage you to go back to your doctor and talk to them about what you're experiencing in terms of your symptoms because smoking marijuana or cigarettes anything like that is you know not good for baby or you. I'm not sure of where you're from, if they have reproductive psychiatrist. And I'll tell you. So that is the type of psychiatrist who specializes in caring for women who are considering becoming pregnant, who are pregnant, who are postpartum, who are just kind of in that window where they may have exposed to medication while carrying a baby or fetus. So that doctor

specializes in prescribing medication or monitoring you during the pregnancy because you're anxious. I wonder if you also may be experiencing depressed mood because those can go hand in hand. And so you want to just. Good. I'm happy. Good, good. So I'm happy to hear that. I have a tanning contact.

Do you exercise and like do yoga? Oh yeah. I exercise. I do a lot of, because I'm in the medical field. So I do a lot of stuff to keep my body in shape and I eat healthy and I live a good life. It's just the anxiety. I don't have control of the anxiety. That's why I'm recommending that you find a reproductive psychiatrist

because a lot of psychiatrists are afraid to prescribe medication while a woman is pregnant. And that's, you know, because of liability and also just not necessarily feeling experienced in that. I'm not a reproductive psychiatrist, but there definitely are some out there who that's what they do. They can safely prescribe medication for you and safely monitor you during pregnancy and really kind of counsel you through that. Thank you. And that's what I needed. Another suggestion. All right. Good luck.

So Dr. Jess, you can't take anxiety medication when you're pregnant either? So you can. You can. So, again, I'm not a reproductive psychiatrist, but that is a part of the training that I have to be exposed to that. And so a reproductive psychiatrist knows the ins and outs of what medications are safe. They understand, you know, the effects that it could have on a fetus. They understand what the risks are of having untreated anxiety or depression. So it actually is safe to take most medications for anxiety during pregnancy. But you want to have that doctor that's counseling you and walking you through it. Well, thank you, doctor, for answering those people's questions.

We appreciate you. Now, how can people reach you if they need you? It's AskDrJess on Instagram and on Twitter. I'm not taking new patients right now, but I will probably in June or July. But you can always just reach me in those spaces and look out for my community talks that I'll do. I'll have one in February. I'm excited.

I have a really cool guest for that. Well, thank you, Dr. Jess. Thank you, Dr. Jess. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Salute to Dr. Jessica Clements. You guys are crazy, man.

For pulling up to the Breakfast Club this morning. I don't know if I want to work here anymore, man. I'm going to Human Resource. I just asked a couple people at Worker Pair, do they have dreams of killing people? They're like, yes. First of all. That's crazy. I've never wanted to kill anyone. I didn't say kill. I said hurt.

No, you said kill. First you said kill. You said kill at first. I don't mean like kill. You don't mean kill, kill? You just mean kill? I mean kill and breathing. Yeah, like not literally kill. Nah, our coworkers mean kill, kill, right? Kill, kill. Yeah, she said kill, kill.

I'm working with Taylor. Well, I'm working through my... Well, Taylor might be crazy because she keeps sending herself flowers up here every other week. But I just want to say that... He's a killjoy. I'm working through my issues.

Thank God. And thank you for everybody who read Shook One Anxiety playing tricks on me. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Tory Lanez. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

Rumor has it. On the Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, this is starting to get ugly. Now, Tory Lanez versus Don Q. Don Q, if you guys remember, had dropped this I'm Not Joining Her song about Tory Lanez. Don Q gets busy, man. Okay, all right, all right.

Mine's been Styles P, but he gets busy. Now, here's what Tory Lanez responded with. This song is called Don Queen. I showed a good love and hatred, niggas want to throw back. He tempted me, but never had this energy for Kodak. You paid Dream Doll for a feature to get to be yourself. And somehow you think you went off with me. The first night I seen Dream Doll, I uffed her for free.

And now you walk around like somehow you got one up on me. But please, this your brother part. This fucking found soldier boy Gucci headband award in his cover Tory Lanez and Dream like that self-honest, right? Yeah. All right, Tori no spins you done I love it. It's hip hop. It's good. If y'all want to battle for the sport, great.

Just stop all of that suck my D and all of that. It's going too far, though. All right, well, here's some more

from Tory Lanez, Don Queen. I got a real message from my brother, Quincy, my nigga, it's time to go get tested.

It's a couple hoes and starlets, I know you infected. You really out here with a fraud with a spin-off infection. And what's worse

is you know it, still you go unprotected. You need to focus on the hit, need to go get a record. So you can find a Don Q in the whole nigga section. I think everybody should practice safe sex, but I would have to ask him what year was he going raw and starless? Stop. Because there was some years where I can understand why he would do that. What years?

Probably like 2011 and 12. Why? Who was that? Dropping the clues box for the star tenders. I'm just saying. I'm not saying. I can see why he would. Hashtag faithful.

My goodness. All right. Well, Don Q was posting about. I'm going to cut you all off. Good job, Q. Don Q was posting about how Tory Lanez was actually writing people asking what's his baby mom's name. So I guess he was trying to get some

information. He posted, what's Don's baby mom name? And somebody said, oh, I don't know. He said, OMG, I need it. I'm in the studio with Tory Lanez. Please. Listen, I love it all. It's hip hop. Just don't resort to violence. And I love that Tory feels this way, like calling everybody out, feeling like he's the best. I love it. But we're not going to act like

that new hairline didn't give him a whole new level of confidence. He got some more confidence. Alright, well, Tory Lanez also went on his Instagram Live and said that he was going to outwrap all of Dreamville Records artists because he wants to get to J. Cole. By the way, happy belated to J. Cole. I saw he was at Brooklyn Chop House yesterday celebrating his birthday. Shout out to Don Poole.

Shout out to Stratus. Shout out to Don Poole. Alright, so he said the only thing I'm going to Don Coo. Yes. All right. So he said, the only thing I'm going to say about the Dreamville situation is this, I'll take the whole Dreamville out by myself and if I do that, then you got to give me coal.

He said, I'll take Jid, everybody. All right. I like what he's doing. I ain't mad at him. Jid has responded. He's calling him out

and he's spitting bars. I thought his name was J-I-D or something. Yeah, Jid. Oh, is Jid the coach? It's J-I-D. It's Jid. Now, Jid responded on social media. LOL, J.I.D. Oh, is J.I.D. the code J? It's J.I.D., but it's J.I.D. Now, J.I.D. responded on social media,

LOL, I went on tour with Tory Lanez in 2016 when he just started losing his hair. 2018, this n-word got his hair back and started losing his mind. We sold out in Santa Ana tonight. Pull up, catch me if you can, tour. And Tory Lanez responded, LOL, you know you my little brother,

so I'm not going to diss you, but let's go on a song and bar out and let the people decide who ripped it harder and who has better bars Flows etc You can be first What's wrong with that I love it

I love it I love it all But then again If you wanna take the other route We can do that too Go ahead and roll the dice Jid responded Bruh

Know what time I'm on You just trying to get to Cole So this really had nothing to do with me But you said You'll mark the squad Cease and desist And it went from there He's right though Jid J.D. is right.

Tory wasn't talking that spicy when his headline was received. Stop it. That's all you got out of this? And I'm gonna let y'all know right now, any rapper out there, never mind. Any rapper out there what? What? We got some angles of Tory's whole head in the studio when Tory was here. I'm just saying. Wow. So now you're trying to join

in his battle? You trying to jump in? You trying to jump in? Tory! I'm just saying. Charlamagne trying to jump in too You trying to jump in? Tori! I'm just saying. Charlamagne trying to jump in too. Tori, Charlamagne got to get it too. Holla at me, Tori. No, Tori, I got a picture. Holla at me, Tori.

I got an overhead shot of Tori. Remember when Nick was trying to come with the camera? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got some names, Tori. If you need them names, I got the names, Tori. I got an overhead shot of Tori for any rapper who wants to buy it. Tori, call me. I got you, Tory.

Did you just insert yourself in this battle? He did. Oh, shut up. I love it all, though. Dropping the cruise bombs for everybody. I want to see everybody

going at it. Lyrical warfare. Why not? I like what Tory's doing. I like what Don Q's doing. I like it. I want Dreamville to get involved.

Everybody just go at it. Leave Dreamdoll alone. As long as it's just bars. Who? Dreamdoll. Leave her alone, man. As long as it's just bars. Who? Dream Doll? Leave her alone, man. As long as it's just bars, cool. Dream Doll might gotta

jump in this and respond. Right? Nah, we don't wanna do that. All right. Then they gonna start making jokes about Self's hair. Self look like Tory Lanez for a few years.

All right, all right. I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. Oh, shout out to DJ Self, man. My goodness. Anybody could get it up here just by the way. All right, Charlamagne. Yes.

Who you giving that donkey to? It's a Florida man. Again? Another Florida? You said you was going to leave Florida alone a little bit. I try. I don't go looking for stories from Florida. Stories from Florida come looking for me.

We'll talk about it for after the hour. Sorry, Florida. All I'm going to say is that just tune in for after the hour. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them

to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM

for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. Put the breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day. With Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all.

Donkey of the day for Tuesday, January 29th. Oprah and Harriet Tubman's born date. Drop on a clues bomb for those two queens. Okay? It goes to a Florida man whose name has not been released, but honestly, his name isn't important. All you need to know is that he's from Florida. What does your Uncle Sharla always say?

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. I don't come in here every day to find stories about people in Florida. Stories about people in Florida find me. Now, I have a question for the room and a question for all our listeners out there. I'm going to ask you a question, and I want to give you a second to think about what would you do if this happened to you? Okay. What would you do?

Listen. Okay. What would you do if you found a grenade? Stop. Think about it. Angela Yee, what would you do if you found a grenade? Run. Waffle Colored Walrus, DJ Envy, what would you do if you found a grenade?

Run. A grenade. Run. I don't care. I'm with you. Okay. It's a grenade. I don't care how sexy Bruno Mars made catching a grenade sound.

Nobody really wants those problems except for this unidentified man from Florida because I'm with you. Okay. It's a grenade. I don't care how sexy Bruno Mars made catching a grenade sound. Nobody really wants those problems except for this unidentified man from Florida because he found a grenade. See, he was using a magnet to search water for salvage items, and this man pulled up a World War II hand grenade. I'm dead-ass serious. It was verified by local police as a World War II hand grenade. Might be worth something. Oh, he got some money there, didn't he? I don't know if he got paid for it, but I've been fishing, and all my fishermen out there who've been fishing,

that sounds like a catch and release to me. You pull a grenade out of the water, you might want to throw that back, but you don't want to do that because it's a grenade. It's dangerous. Someone could get hurt, including yourself. So the smart thing to do would be to call 911, right? Yes, absolutely. Right then and there.

But keep in mind, this is Florida. What does a Florida man do after they find a grenade? Let's go to CNN for the report, please. Florida man who went magnet fishing. Over the weekend, he was looking for salvage items. He reeled in a World War II hand grenade. He tossed it in his truck, drove to the local Taco Bell, and then called the police. The bomb squad had to come

to remove the device, and the restaurant was evacuated, John. The grenade was then taken away safely, and the Taco Bell, we're happy to report, has reopened. One word for you here. Florida. I haven't had Taco Bell in years. But I remember the bubble guts it gave me quite

well. Okay. It's the number of combos from Taco Bell that years. But I remember the bubble guts it gave me quite well. Okay. It's the number of combos from Taco Bell that assisted in the Hershey squirts. All right. That Nacho Bell Grande combo, number five, with a soft taco, would have you peeing out your ass. Okay. That Burrito Supreme combo, number one, with a soft taco, will make you feel like your anus is prolapsing.

All right? And that damn quesadilla combo with a soft taco will give you the Henny Goop Soup quick. All right? This is giving me grass right now. It's that Henny Goop Soup. The moral of the story is only a Florida man would turn blowing up a Taco Bell into literally almost blowing up a Taco Bell. Okay, a bomb threat at a Taco Bell should not be an actual bomb threat.

A bomb threat at a Taco Bell should be because you had to run in the bathroom and release a little trouser chili because you decided to have the three crunchy combo. I think that's a number eight if I'm not mistaken. Now, this man didn't commit a crime. He didn't get arrested, and he shouldn't. Only thing he did was put a bunch of people in danger by bringing a whole grenade into a Taco Bell. No big deal. It's Florida.

And only in Florida would a man find a grenade, casually throw it in his truck, go to a Taco Bell, and then casually call the police and tell them he got a grenade in his truck. If you don't think this is stupid and don't see how this could have been a total disaster, then you're probably from the Bronx or Florida. Please give this Florida man who almost blew up a Taco Bell literally the sweet sound to the Hamilton's.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw.

That Taco Bell will have you squirting like a country goose. of the day. Yee-haw! All right. That's right. That Taco Bell will have you squirting like a country goose. Yuck. Oh, my goodness. You heard that? That's that Crunchwrap Supreme Combo No. 9 with a soft taco. Oof.

Okay. That's enough. All right. Now, if I let one fly in here, y'all, we're going to have to clear this room. You'll probably have to change your drawers, too. I don't fart in my clothes, so you know that would never be me.

You just do it naked. I don't fart in my clothes. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes. Now, when we come back, let's talk about something that happened this morning. What happened?

Dern, get it off your chest. A young man called, and he said this. Let's play it right fast. Is black parents wrong for raising their kids to be racist against other racists who are racist to us, black people? I don't think you're raising your kids to be racist. I just think you're telling your kids the reality of the world, and you let them make their own decisions.

Can you say I'm not a racist and be like, well, I don't want my daughter to come home to bring a white guy home? Yes. That might be a little racist. That's not racist. All right, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Are you being racist if you want your child

to only bring home their race? You just want us to piss people off this morning. That is the question. 800-585-1051. Because I'm going to ask, right? Mm-hmm. If our white cameraman said, I don't want my daughter dating a black person.

I want him to bring home just a white person. Is that racist? What's his reasoning, though? Is his reasoning just a matter of preference or is his reasoning a matter of prejudice? Does it matter what the reasoning is? How can you just make a preference on somebody just based on their skin color? Exactly. I think preference is different than prejudice.

Now, would you mind if your white daughter brought a black person home? If you actually mind just because they're black, then that's probably prejudice. Now, would you mind if your white daughter bought a black person home? If you actually mind just because they're black, then that's probably prejudice. But I don't think it's, I think it's a difference between preference and prejudice. So if I say I don't want

my daughter to bring home any other race other than black, that's kind of racist. Your daughter went on a date with a white guy. With a white guy, she did. Listen, okay, I would love for my daughter

to date a black man. I just wanted my daughter to be happy. I don't care. Do you have a preference when it comes to your daughter? My preference is her being happy. That is my preference. I don't care.

Whoever treats my daughter with respect and is kind and treats her like the queen that she is, that's all I care about. Me too. But I would like for that person to be black. Well, let's open up the phone lines. And preferably not a nigga. I want black, like a difference. If you need to know the difference, I'll play the Chris Rock clip for you.

All right, all right. So let me ask you a question. So now you want a certain kind of black. Yes. You're this guy right here. Don't be asking me questions if you don't want to understand. I'm not asking you questions because I want the truth. Oh, okay.

805-85-1051. Are you being racist if you want your child to only date their own race? Meaning? No. That's not racist. You don't want them to date? If you're black, you don't want them to bring home a white guy? Or if you're white, you don't want them to bring home a black guy?

I think there's a difference between preference and prejudice. You wouldn't be here if that was the case. I can't wait to talk about this. That's fine. We'll do that when we come back because I'll discuss my own family. 585-1051. Shout out to Papa E2. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. And Mama E. The Breakfast Club. Morning, too. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. And Mama Yee. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're taking your calls. We're asking 800-585-1051.

Are you being racist if you want your child to date their own race? No. Yee, what do you think? I think that I wouldn't want to teach kids to only date your own race just because I know how harmful that was for me as a child when my parents got married and having to deal with people having a lot of different things to say. So I think in your head, if there's something that you want, and I think it's important to instill pride in your kids so that they're like proud to be black. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to express to them like listen, you only can bring home another black person or another whatever race you are. I think that's a harmful

thing to instill in kids because I know growing up, it was always awkward for me. I'm not going to lie. Do I think it would be easier for my children if they brought home somebody that looked like them, understand the culture, understand what's going on. It's a different feeling to sit next to someone like you,

another black person watching Black Panther. You feel good. I mean, is this the difference? But would I mind? Would I care? No, I don't care. I honestly don't. I just want somebody that's going to treat my daughter the way that she needs to be treated.

Listen, I'm with y'all. But once again, I think there's a difference between prejudice and preference. And when people ask me why I feel that way, I will simply say because the African family structure has been dismantled in America. I think I read a stat one time that said almost 70% of black children are born to single mothers. So the black family structure has been ruined since the days of slavery.

And now you got mass incarceration. So I love seeing blackness together. I love seeing black husbands with black wives raising black kids. I think that's a beautiful thing. I love seeing love. I love seeing people together. I just don't want people to feel awkward. Kids to feel awkward bringing somebody home and feel like they disappointed their parents or anything like that.

Hello, who's this? This is Ed from Jersey. Ed, what's up, man? We're asking, are you being racist if you want your child to only date their own race, bro? Yup. I feel like you. My kids, I'm black. My baby mom is Puerto Rican, so my kids is by race.

You know what I'm saying? And I get what Charlamagne's saying because he's team black all day. In his mind, blacks can't do no wrong. That's not true. That's how you come off, though. You come off like blacks can't do no wrong in your eyes. You just team black, black, black, black, black. What's wrong with being team black? Y'all are crazy.

Y'all are some self-hating ass niggas, boy. You act like blacks don't do no wrong. No. You act like Blacks don't do no wrong. No, I don't. You can't do no wrong. You do, bro. You do. But my kids is Black and Puerto Rican. There's nothing wrong with that.

Who said it is? That's the way you come off. No, it's not. Y'all not listening then. Hello, who's this? Hey. Hey, y'all. Good morning.

Hey, good morning. Good morning. Hey, mama. We're asking, are you being racist if you want your child to date their own race? No, I don't think you're being racist at all. If you, just like white people want their grandbabies to look like them and they want this and that, we should be able to feel the same way without, you know what I'm saying? Like, without anybody feeling any type of way.

I don't think there's nothing wrong with wanting, you know, your kids to be with somebody who looks like you so y'all can have grandbabies and keep the generation going and y'all all look the same. I don't see nothing wrong with that. Charlamagne, I read your book. I read your book, Charlamagne. I loved it. Thank you, baby.

Which one? Shook one. Okay. I loved it. Thank you. I like you do that. Which one? I got two, baby.

I mean, I do have two national bestsellers, but you know. Can I ask you a question? If your kids went to school and there was a white kid and the white kid was like, well, my parents only want me to date somebody white, so I can't even date you ever. Would you feel weird about that? Or would you be like, well. It's happened to me before. It's happened to me before.

You didn't think it was whack? I mean, yeah, but now that I'm older, like now that I'm an adult, like back in high school, I'm from Florida. Y'all gonna start giving us too much. Okay. So I'm older, like now that I'm an adult, like back in high school, I'm from Florida. Y'all going to start giving us too much. OK, so I'm from Florida. Now, see, I have a problem with my daughter dating anybody from Florida. I'm telling you that right now. All right.

Duval County. Duval County. Duval. Duval. But no, you know, these kids here, like even in high school, like they'll, you know, they'll be friends, too. They'll be all in your face, you know, playing. Oh, this is my little, this is my girlfriend, you know, these kids here, like even in high school, like they'll, you know, they'll be friends, too. They'll be all in your face, you know, playing. Oh, this is my little, this is my girlfriend, you know, stuff like that. But it was literally like one time I was working in the mall when I was in high school.

And it was the same white kid. We was like the best of friends while we were in school. But he came to my job. I was working in the food court at a Taco Bell. Just so happened. And he acted like he didn't even know me. And my feelings were so hurt. I think that's so whack.

It is whack, but it is what it is. That's life. That's just how people are. Especially with kids, man. Let kids play with who they want to love, who they want to love. Like, you know, let them do that without judgment. Here's the thing.

Y'all keep talking about what parents don't want their kids to do. If you don't want your child to date someone because of their race, that's prejudice. Not once have I said that. I don't care if my daughter dates someone of another race, but I have a preference. It's a difference between preference and

prejudice. It's a huge difference. And people have their opinions based on what you said. Yeah, but once again, to me it's all about the black family structure. And if you know anything about the black family structure in America, and you've seen how America has systemically dismantled it from slavery to mass incarceration, you would love seeing black families together, too. So I don't know what to tell y'all.

Y'all mad at me because I love seeing a black man with a black woman and having black kids. I think that's a beautiful black ass thing. Nobody's mad at you. Yeah, nobody's mad at all. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way here. Oh, and salute to the guy who called up here yesterday and complained about me. He called last week, too, but I just want you to know your complaint was heard.

He complained because he was upset that I said that Black Panther doesn't need white validation from the Oscars. Shout out to you, white man. Shout out to you, Mr. White Man. Your complaint was heard. He was really mad? Yes, he was very pissed off. I love listening to those.

That's hilarious to me. But he was very upset, so salute to you. So I know this conversation today really pissed him off. Really grinded his gears. Call him here again, sir. My goodness, we got rumors on the way. Yes, let's talk about a horror movie that a NBA star is going to be actually starring in based on his own experience. All right, we'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Angel Yee. Shalom and the God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning to you. Hello. All right, let's get to these rumors. Let's talk to our ladies. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report.

This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angel Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, we've been telling you about this back and forth between Don Q and Tory Lanez. I started with Don Q doing a diss song about Tory Lanez regarding the freestyle that they had back and forth on that joiner. Tory Lanez then responded with Don Queen. Here's a little snippet of that. I chose it in love and hatred. Niggas want to throw back. He tempted me but never had this energy for Kodak. Tory Lanez then responded with Don Queen. Here's a little snippet of that. Okay, well, now Don Q has already snapped back, and he has a song out called This Is Your King.

Here's a snippet of that for you. I know you seen power, need power to play with your nose It's taking the toll, cause from the eyebrows up, you look 80 years old Thank you, you know that I might spin your face This the old dawn, I had to go and dig in the crate You probably put a thong on when you listen to Drake Who can I run to in his head? Y'all thinking he gonna really escape? We'll karaoke, sing along, tell your cheerleaders, bring it on Your neighbor used to pay you by the week to come and clean the lawn

The Everglades high, ain't no robbers in there You sound like a bunch of scholars in there, you're not just a pig Tell me when you ate up Drake, you're different swallow Put some respect on Tory Lanez' new hairline, Don Q. You can tell that man from the eyebrows up, he look 80 years old. That's why I keep

a fresh Baldy right there. And y'all gonna make me fly to South Africa and get this hairline transplant. Listen, on your little 3D statue right here, your body don't look so fresh. That's because they gave me the Sherman Hemsley George Jefferson. And I don't know why they did that, because I definitely don't have that.

It's very accurate. I don't have that. I just have a receding hairline. All right, now, Kyrie Irving is starring in a horror movie that's inspired by his own experiences. He was staying at the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City. The inn opened back in 1911, and the rumor is that there's a lot of paranormal activity there. But the hotel still has a lot of NBA traveling teams come to visit, come to stay there when they have games. He said, having had my own interesting experience at the Skirvin Hotel, I connected with this idea immediately.

So, should be interesting to watch. You know I'm going to see that. That's cute, Kyrie. But I'll tell you one thing. You play with them spirits if you want to. If you ain't really see nothing, don't act like you saw something for profit because they will show up on that ass. Well, the reason it happened is because of what he saw.

I hope he really saw something is all I'm saying. All right. Tisha Campbell Martin is accusing Dwayne Martin of physical abuse. Now she says that he flew into a violent rage. Just as recently as last month, she's filed a restraining order against him. He has to stay at least 100 yards away from her. Right now, it's a temporary restraining order. She said she can no longer live in fear of retaliation.

The need to press criminal charges for his acts overshadows the embarrassment of making his crimes against me public through this report. She said that he once punched her in the chest with a closed fist and that he grabbed her by her arm to try to get her in the bedroom. And she says she filed a police report in January about multiple alleged physical altercations. That sucks, man. I really enjoyed them as a couple. My wife and I kicked it with them in L.A. once at their restaurant, man. That was a great, great L.A.

night. Well, you never know what goes on behind the scenes. Man, damn it, man. Alright, Jeannie Mai, she was on The Real and talked about whether or not she has a relationship with Jeezy after that picture surfaced where it looked like they were on a triple date with OT Genesis and Trey Songz. And here's what she said. Look, you guys know that I'm multi-dating, right? And Jeezy and I hang out.

And he's very special to me. So we don't really have a label to define what it is we're doing. We're just having a good time together. Oh, okay, Jeezy. All right, she's multi-dating. She's not in a relationship. She just got out of a marriage. So she's dating multiple people.

She's checking the scene. Jeannie Mai. What's her name? Jeannie Mai? Jeannie Mai. Jeannie Mai. Jeannie Mai got the new Jeezy. The old Jeezy would have been using her

to smuggle bricks out here in these streets. Oh, stop it. Okay. All right. Now, let's talk about this Leaving Neverland documentary that's going to be on HBO. It was at the Sundance Film Festival.

And there's a lot going on right here. Michael Jackson's family has released a statement condemning the film. Michael always turned the other cheek and we have always turned the other cheek when people have gone after members of our family. That is the Jackson way. But we can't just stand by while this public lynching goes on and the vulture tweeters and others who never met Michael go after him. So the people that are featured in this are claims by James Safechuck and Wade Robson that Michael Jackson sexually abused them over a period of several years when they were kids. Now, both of them had defended Michael Jackson against other allegations of child abuse,

but later on they filed suits of their own against his estate with abuse allegations of their own back in 2013 and 2014. James Safechuck was in the Pepsi commercial with him, by the way. And so there's a lot of back and forth. According to the family, they said the film takes uncorroborated allegations that happened 20 years ago, supposedly, and treats them as fact. These claims were the basis of lawsuits filed by these two admitted liars, which were ultimately dismissed by a judge.

So we'll see what happens, but there's been a lot of people talking about the tweets that went out from people who actually saw the film at the Sundance Film Festival. This film is whack. I don't want to see this. This film is unethical. First of all, those two guys played under oath

that nothing happened, so why would we listen to them now? Isn't perjury a crime? Aren't they committing perjury by doing this documentary? And this documentary is all for profit. They aren't doing this for any other reason. They don't care about facts. They care about entertainment.

Period. Like, why would you take the word of two people who have perjured themselves? Perjured themselves. And the man is dead. He can't refute it or rebuke anything. Well, critics who attended it, it's a four-hour, by the way, leaving Neverland. They said the film was devastating. And so, I don't know.

Would you watch it? No, I think it's unethical. I can't believe HBO bought that. First of all, I can't believe somebody made it, but then I can't believe HBO bought it. This is unethical. This is perjury. These two people are committing a crime. That's what they are doing right now.

All right, I'm Angela Yee. They pled under oath that he did nothing. And that's foul. So why would I listen to them now? The man is dead. Why would you take their word now? Why are we putting this right now. All right, I'm Angela Yee. They pled under oath that he did nothing. And that's foul. So why would I listen to them now? Why would you take their word now? Why are we putting this out now? All right. Revolt, see y'all tomorrow.

Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next. Let's go. Let me know what you want to hear. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, shout out to everybody going to Atlanta for Super Bowl weekend. Angela Yee and I will be out there. I'm actually going tomorrow. So I got a lot of activities out there, but I'm looking forward to it. I know Atlanta's going to be crazy. Did you see T.I. post his rules for the culture

in Atlanta this weekend? I've seen T.I. and 2 Chainz. Alright, and I just want to give another shout out to Carl Weber, author, and he's has his own publishing company and he's published over 2,500 books. The Family Business is his show that's on BET. Make sure y'all watch that show

tonight. I think that's the season finale. It's only one season so far but you guys gotta watch and make sure you demand a second season because a lot of people love him as an author and they love this show as well on BET. Alright. And shout out to Dr an author and they love this show as well on BET. All right. And shout out to Dr. Jess for joining us this morning as well.

Salute to Dr. Jess, man. I really appreciate Dr. Jess. If you remember Dr. Jessica Clements, she does the Be Well series on social media. She did the In Session Live, live therapy session with me last year on VH1, and she's just a dope individual. So once again, having Dr. Jess up here isn't a cure for your mental health issues at all.

It's just a start to hopefully get you in the right direction to, you know, getting a handle on your mental health. Absolutely. That's all. All right. Well, you guys have a great day. What do you mean a great day? We got a positive note coming up. Oh, that's right.

We do that when we come back. It's Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes, man.

The positive note is simply this. Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you all done? 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.
