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. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

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.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't believe you guys are the best.

Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday. What's happening? It started with a work week for me.

Just got back from a Disney cruise. Yeah, we didn't know where you were, and then I saw you post on a cruise. Yes, I took the kids on a Disney cruise. My kids' birthdays are June 3rd and June 5th. They turn six and 5. So instead of doing a party, I try to take them somewhere cool. So this year we went on a Disney cruise. What did y'all do?

Cruise around Florida? No, it goes from Orlando to the Bahamas. Oh. Then to the Bahamas to Disney. It has a private island that is just a Disney island. And then you come back. It's like a four-day cruise. Amazing.

Food was great. Of course, they had the rides. It's not too crowded because only the people on the cruise ship are actually cruising with you guys. We went to Atlantis for a day. It was just great. The food was amazing. I ran into so many different people on the cruise. It was just a good time, man.

Four days of just eating, having fun, pool time, the beach. Summertime. Shows. The shows are amazing on the ship. Summertime. Shows. The shows are amazing on the ship. Like, you think the shows are just kiddie shows? No, the shows are like, almost like Broadway shows. It was just really, really dope. I would advise that cruise to anybody.

It's the Disney cruise. They have four-day cruises and seven-day cruises. We just had such a great time, so. I've never been on a cruise. You've never been on a cruise before? No, but I never really wanted to. Me neither. Why not?

My ancestors are allergic to big-ass ships. Okay. Man. I've been on, like, I I never really wanted to. Me neither. Why not? My ancestors are allergic to big ass ships. Okay. Man. I've been on boats before. I just don't like it. I don't like being on like when you have to go to the prom. I'm sure a cruise is way different than being on a boat. A cruise is way different than being on a boat. I do not want to be in the middle of an ocean for three, four days. You don't even know you're in the middle

of an ocean. You're only there for a day because one day you're in Bahamas. You know when that ship starts sinking. Man, no ship is sinking. They have a Ritz Carlton yacht now. Yeah, it's amazing. I would try that. You don't even feel

like you're on the water. You don't feel the boat moving. It's none of that. Some of them have like ice skating rinks. Ice skating rinks, basketball courts, golf simulators,

basketball. I still have never been desired to go on a cruise. Me neither. But maybe I, I don't know. And Disney, everybody's so friendly. Maybe people have different experiences. I feel like the world should just work for Disney.

Definitely not going on a Disney cruise. Everybody's so nice. Everybody's just so friendly and so nice. And there's zillions of kids and everybody's so, how can I help you? Do they have drinks? They have drinks. They have alcohol.

They have an adult section on the boat. And every time you go to an island, they have an adult section. So if you don't want to go with your kids because they have like 24-hour, almost like babysitting where they watch your kids. What if you don't have kids? Can you go on a Disney cruise or is that weird? You can.

There's a lot of people without kids on a Disney cruise. You're really hyping this Disney experience up, man. Disney is a very stressful place. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's not like the parks. It's totally different from the parks. It's totally different from waiting in lines for an hour and a half, have to worry about the rain. This is

a totally different experience. When I was there three weeks ago, I need a vacation from that. Okay? Which I will take in a few weeks, by the way. It's totally different experience. Alright, and I want to shout out to Ari Lennox. I went to go see her yesterday. She had this experience. It was all women.

It was a nice little experience. They had this experience. It was all women. It was a nice little experience of they had manicures, they had massages. It was a nice women's event. Dr. Jess sat down and interviewed her. That's J. Cole artist, right? Yeah, Ari Lennox is the Shea Butter Baby. And she has a debut album out, Shea Butter Baby, that's out

already right now. I think it came out like last month. Kind of hot for Shea Butter this, right? Can you wear Shea Butter in the summer? It came out May 7 now. I think it came out like last month. Kind of hot for shea butter this, right? Can you wear shea butter in the summer? It came out May 7th. Oh. Can you wear shea butter in the summer though? Yeah, you can always wear shea butter. It's kind of like basting. You know what I'm saying? It's like putting oils on. You start cooking and you put on some shea butter and then you walk out to that

90 degree heat. Well, anyway, shout out to Irene Lennon. She's an amazing artist, so I wanted to go out and show some support. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Who's joining us this morning? Ayanna Von Zant. Ay morning? Ayanna Von Zant. Who? Ayanna. Ayanna Von Zant.

Ayanna Von Zant. Queen Von Zant. I was like, who? Ayanna? She'll be joining us this morning. I surely enjoy Queen Von Zant at all times. Yeah, so we'll kick it with her in a little bit. And we got front page news.

What are we talking about, Yee? Ooh, well, we'll tell you about iTunes. Rest in peace. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

All right. Good morning.. Alright, we'll get into that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about Linda Fairstein. You know who she is? No. She is the devil. Satan

reincarnated. She was one of the key figures in the wrongful prosecution of the Central Park Five. She's the one who forced them to make that confession under duress. She's the white woman you're going to hate the most if you watch when they see us on Netflix. To raping and attacking a Central Park jogger back in 1989. She's the one that had these young boys under duress. And the reason why they confessed to a crime they did not commit. Well, she is on the board of Safe Horizon.

Safe Horizon is a nonprofit aiding victims of abuse and violent crime in New York City. They work with a lot of people of color, and they want to know why is she on the board? Why has she been allowed to remain on the board for so long, considering what she did back then? She's a former prosecutor, and she was the head of Manhattan D.A.'s sex crimes unit back in 1989 when those five boys were convicted. Yeah, sending kids to jail for no damn reason, traumatizing them, ruining their life, that is abuse. That is violent behavior. I love the fact that people are now boycotting everything she has to do with,

whether it's the book that she wrote. She deleted all her social media, but we've seen this play before. You know what happens now. You know what happens now is she turns into the victim. The white tears come, and she's going to sue for emotional distress and mental anguish. She's going to sue Netflix, and she's going to sue Ava. You can't if it's really what happened. Mark my words.

This is what they do. Okay? Trust me. If you did it, you did it. And now it's documented. Oh, yeah. I hate when people play the victim in the circumstances that they created. But she's going to absolutely do that.

All right. Now, Apple has announced that they're going to put a menstrual cycle tracker to their Apple Watch. Okay. So women can log information related to that. We have apps for that already, though. So we can track when our period is coming. You sound like you're happy for that, Shalom. You want to know when your period is coming?

I haven't even thought about periods in so long. Oh, you already don't get it anymore? Nah, it's just like when you was young and you was like dating, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, your woman or girl

missed a period, it was a thing. When you're married, I don't even know, I'm pretty sure my wife still gets her period, she's only 38. Alright, now...

She does. She does. I never thought about it, I don't think about it. She still does. She has a lot of time left. She does. I mean, I got three daughters, so eventually they'll get theirs.

Yes, they will. I don't want to know about theirs either. Track them on your own. Why could you not want to know? That's not my business. That's your daughter's. You should want to know what's going on with them. Nothing I can teach them about that.

Nah, I don't want to know either. That one call that I got when I had to stop and go get something other than that, I don't even know if she ever had to get after that. Nope. Don't want to do. All right, well, it's over for iTunes. You put going to use tampons. It's over for iTunes since we're talking about Apple. So Apple is breaking up iTunes. Now there's going to be three different platforms, music, TV, and podcast.

You already see that when you go into iTunes. Yes. And so now what they're doing is saying goodbye to iTunes. People aren't really buying music and waiting to do all that. Now people are using Apple Music subscription service. So they just want to make sure users do that. But if you did buy some music on iTunes, you'll still have access to it. It will still exist as a

standalone iOS app and on Windows PCs. I don't see the point of buying music. It's downloaded. Exactly. I got Tidal. You know what I mean? I do have Apple, but I don't really rock with Apple like that. I like Tidal. But I got everything I want. Old, new. It's new music. People will be like, yo, you should listen to this. It's stuff that I would title, but I got everything I want. Old, new. Yeah. It's new music. Like, people will be like,

yo, you should listen to this. It's stuff that I would never even think about buying or even think about listening to if I didn't have such easy access to it. You know what I mean? Yeah, nobody buys music anymore.

I don't see the point. I'm going to tell you an album I'm jamming to right now. What's that? Goddamn Jim Jones, El Capo. Drop with a Tooth Bomb for Jim Jones. Goddamn Jim Jones album

is phenomenal. I ain't hear it yet, man. El Capo is hard. You hear me? All right, El Capo. Capo, Jim Jones album is phenomenal. I ain't hear it yet, man. El Capo is hard. You hear me? All right, El Capo. Capo? Capo. Capo.

I was like El Chapo? I was like El Chapo. You did a combination of... El Capo. Go to your streaming service and look up Jim Jones' new album. El Capo, El Capo. It is hard.

All right. Shout out to Jimmy. All right. Now, when we come back, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

Maybe you had a bad night, horrible morning, or wherever it may be. Maybe you want to just spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my own country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder you know

with explosive warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have

the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hello, who's this? Hi, good morning, Breakfast Club. This is Justin. What's up, Justin? Get it off your chest. All right. So I'm a Lyft driver, and for some reason this lady just got in my car and didn't have a destination. She didn't know the name or the address

of the place she was trying to go. I'm like, I don't know what she wanted me to do for you. So where'd you take her? I think she said something about trying to go to a church or something like that, and then she was trying to go. I'm like, I don't know what she want me to do for you. So where'd you take her? She was trying, I think she said something about trying to go to a church or something like that and then she was trying to have me go to this donut shop that was near the church and then she starts cussing me out because she's like, oh, we're not there yet.

I'm like, you don't even know where you want to go. How are you going to be mad at me? So she called the Uber. I didn't know you could call, I mean, the Lyft. I didn't know you could call with no destination. See, I think she was an older lady who was doing it through a third-party company for older people. So they can still get Lyft rides, but they didn't give me a destination. I'm like, what the heck? That's weird.

Very. So what ended up happening? You made her leave? She cursed me out a few times. I remained very cordial in this kind of thing. I could not cuss her out, this old white lady. But we did end up getting her to where she was trying to go. But she had to call, like, three people.

It was crazy. Well, she's older. She probably had a little dementia, didn't know where she was going. I'm glad you got her there safely, though. That is true. But, hey, can I plug something real quick? You just was talking something real quick. Well, not too quick.

I'm sorry, Charlamagne, but, hey, guys, if any of you guys are nerds out there, I'm talking to all my nerds. If you would like to laugh and be entertained, go to Northstar Otaku. That is N-O-R-T-H-S-T-A-R space O-T-A-K-U. Search that on Google. Find us on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on YouTube. We're doing the gaming stuff. We do all these kind of videos.

And, yeah, we're starting a podcast, too. All right. Thank you, bro. Hello. Who's this? Oh, this is Ryan. Oh, Ryan. What's up, Ryan?

Hello. Is this DJ Eminem? Yes, sir. Oh, my God. Yo, I'm mad at you, dog. Why are you mad at me? Because you're not letting Ye do the Ye mixes, man, when you're not here. You've been gone for two days.

What's up with that? That is true. I got to say something. I kind of agree with him. You're mad today. Why are you whispering? I've been gone for two days, and then didn't even say nothing. Why are you whispering?

He didn't say nothing. Yo, like, let Ye shine, bro. Ye shines every day. What are you talking about? Not with the mix. Let her get some more shine. Let her do let Ye shine, bro. Ye shines every day. What you talking about? Not with the mix. Let her get some more shine. Let her do the Ye mix, dog. Damn. Next time I go to Disney's cruise, she got it.

All right? Damn. Anytime you leave. Nah, you ain't say all that. Stop leaving that. Word is born. Stop being so insecure. Let Ye do the mix. Nope. I'll let you do rumors. Nope. I don't want to do that. How about that? Listen, DJ, DJ,

yo, I know you like skin, you know, we insecure, but, you know, just let it slide sometime, huh? Yo, you hear that? I would love to. Bro, yo, you hear that? He's about to hang up.

I don't know how he didn't see that coming. I don't know how he didn't see that coming. I don't know how he didn't see that coming. You see everything else but see that coming.

Get it off your chest. 805-851051. Yee, we got the rumors coming up? Yes, we are going to talk about Ciara. She's on Red Table Talk, so that should be interesting. Also, Blac Chyna. You know she was up here filming for her new reality show. Well, that trailer is out, and everyone's talking about it.

All right, let's get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.

So listen up. Well, Kawhi Leonard is suing Nike, and I'm sure you'll think this is a good reason, right? And that's because Nike was copywriting his logo. It's a new lawsuit. He said the famous logo of a K and L in his jersey number actually came from his own hand, pen and paper. He did it back in 2011. He traced his hand

and inside the hand he drew stylized versions of his initials and the number that he had worn for much of his career. And he let Nike use that logo after he signed with them in 2011, but then they filed for a copyright of the logo without letting him know. He better make sure that he signed the right paperwork and he didn't sign his rights away. But why didn't he have it copywritten is my question.

I would think if you're going to do a deal with Nike, you would be like, let me get my logo copywritten before I let them use it. Yeah, should have had the business done. By the way, I didn't even know Kawhi Leonard had a logo, by the way. Yeah. I had no idea. Well, now he's suing saying they had no right to do that and that they committed fraud on the copyright office by registering his logo.

So I don't know what ends up happening with that. That's the most aggressive thing Kawhi Leonard has ever done off the court, that lawsuit. All right? He's so nonchalant and so cool, calm, and collected all the time. Can you copyright anything? Like if it's not copyrighted, even if it's somebody else drew it? I'm not sure.

I have no idea. I thought you had to draw it to copyright something. Alright, now Sierra has graduated from Harvard Business Course. It's only been like a week. It's a week-long course. Online. Yeah, she posted. It's online? Or did she go? It's an online course, right? She must have done the online one. There's a couple

of different ones. There's ones that you can go to in person, and I think those take place over a series of different, a longer time period, like the one that Swizz East did. But hers must have been the online one. I wonder how people who graduated from Harvard feel about everybody getting these degrees. Well, it's not a Harvard University degree. What is it then?

That's what it seems like. It's a program at Harvard. Now that makes it seem like it's a degree. So you get a certification from this program that you take, but it's not like you graduated from Harvard. So Harvard basically got their own DeVry, and they let people enroll at that DeVry that's within Harvard. It's like a subsidiary of Harvard.

Yes, the Harvard Business School program. I don't know anything about that. You don't have to graduate from high school and take a test to get in. So what do you have to do to get this degree? Dance. Shut up. I think you have to be able to pay to take the course and get accepted. To be able to pay?

Yeah, you have to. It's expensive. Just pay for the course and you got the Harvard degree. Well, congratulations Sierra. Right? Yeah, congratulations to her. She said, I'm officially a Harvard alumna. Okay, congratulations. How much is the degree? Is she an alumni?

Now, that's the question. Is she considered a Harvard alumni? Now, I need to really speak to some Harvard alumni to see if Ciara is considered a Harvard alumni. Is she really a Harvard alumni? She's a Harvard business school, like this business school executive education program alumni, but she's not a Harvard alumni. It's different. I'm going to take that course.

Well, congratulations. All right, now, Sierra's also on Red Table Talk, and she's talking about breaking up with Future and why she did that. I remember one time I was working out on an elliptical machine, and I was just, like, not sure about, do I stay or do I, you know, which direction do I go? What is the right thing to do?

And it's like, it's easy to do this, but is the easy thing the right thing? Future was like my teddy bear. Yeah. So I was like, we're going to go. We're about to do this it's like it's easy to do this but it's the easy thing the right thing future was like my teddy bear yeah so i was like we gonna go we about to do this thing together i just was like i'm gonna commit i'm really afraid of losing myself if you sit in situations that aren't healthy or you let them like linger too long yeah you start to lose yourself you know i don't like crying all the time so i'm like how do i get out of this? Exactly. Because I like being happy. Well, she seems happy now.

Yeah, if I was Russell Westbrook, I don't know if I would want her talking about future. What about if you were Russell Wilson? What was his name? Who did I say? Who did I say? Russell Westbrook.

Oh, yeah, Russell Wilson. If I was Russell Wilson, I wouldn't want her talking about future. Like, future is the past. Yeah, but I think he also knows that people are going to ask her that. And she also hasn't done a whole lot of interviews about it.

And it's Red Table Talk. If I was Sierra. If she goes on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, you know she's going to bring up those things. They're going to ask everything. All right, so Sierra should ask Jada about Tupac then. No, I'm not talking about my old flames for what? Let's talk about my present and my future. Yeah, but they also have a child together whose name is Future.

That is true. I mean, you can't deny that. He's part of her life. You're right. Lord have mercy. So she's allowed to talk about it and she didn't necessarily say anything bad,

but I think information like that is helpful to people. If you are sad all the time or you're in a relationship that you have to commit to get out of, it is a commitment. And she talked about

how she did that. It wasn't easy for her. I get it. Now she's found happiness. I still would want to talk about my present, which is my present family. She did that too.

And here's what she has to say about Russell Wilson. When Russ came into our lives, Future was 10 months old. It was different. Yeah. I never had that feeling in my life. What was the feeling? What was it? It was just like, it was calm.

So when Russ and I met, we were being friends first. He actually met my family in the friend setting. When we talked, we were connecting in every way. The way he looked at life, it was different. Also, the energy with my son, it just felt right. And then, of course, the consistency. Whenever he would think of me, he would always think about my son. It's dope.

Yeah. You know, it's a different level of love. See, that's the only future she should be discussing. Well, she discussed everything. It's a long conversation. Oh, God bless her's the only future she should be discussing. Well, she discussed everything. It's a long conversation. Oh, God bless her. All right. Something about that red table, boy.

Just get people to just chatting. Listen, you go on there for that purpose. You know what it is. Jesus Christ. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news next year. What are we talking about?

Yes, we're going to talk about Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. He is locked up. We'll tell you where he's being moved to. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. He is locked up. We'll tell you where he's being moved to. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, is being moved. He's in a federal prison lockup in Pennsylvania. He's moving to Rikers Island later this week.

So they're saying that transfer could come as soon as Thursday, and he will be in solitary confinement for his own safety. Rikers Island. Paul Manafort. Who would have thunk it? All right, now, Linda Fairstein, she's a key figure in the wrongful prosecution of the Central Park Five. Right now, everybody wants her gone. She's on the board of Safe Horizon.

Safe Horizon is a nonprofit that aids victims of abuse and violent crime in New York City. I've been getting DMs from people who work at Safe Horizon, and they're like, you have to bring attention to this. We need to get her out of here. She's the person who was at the time that the five young men were wrongfully convicted of raping and attacking a Central Park jogger back in 1989. She was the one that coerced

them to confess to a crime that they didn't commit. She was the head of Manhattan DA's sex crimes unit. And people feel that she needs to step down. They want her to immediately be dismissed. Not even step down. We need to just tell you, you are out of here. You need to get fired.

Yeah, her name should be Linda Don't Play Fairstein, okay? Because she definitely don't play fair. And I definitely think that she should be removed. Because you know what I was thinking about? Not just about the Central Park Five. Imagine all the other black and brown people that she wronged when we convicted. Absolutely.

How many people did she do this to? Everybody that she actually convicted, they should be investigating those cases as well. And, you know, she's very complicit. You know what? I'm going to talk about it during donkey of the day. Before after the hour, we're going to need Linda Don't Play Fasty and to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her.

All right. Now, Quest Diagnostics is saying 12 million patients may have had their personal information exposed. So they said that personal information is because an unauthorized user gained access to a system that's used by American Medical Collection Agency. That's a billing vendor that they hire. And that information may have exposed your Social Security numbers, your medical information, but not your test results. FYI. So if you had some test results that you don't want people to know about, you don't have to worry about that. I'd rather you have my test results than my Social Security number.

Yeah, I'm with you, too. I'm not going to lie to you. You can have the test results. So what? I got chlamydia and? I'd rather you have my test results than my social security number. I'm not going to lie to you. I got chlamydia and I mean, not me in general, but I'm just saying. Use that clip. Oh, shut up. I'm just saying you can have my test results. I'd rather you have my test results. You know how hard it is to have to go get new credit cards

and all that? I have to say, you're trying to fix your credit after somebody hacked your stuff. I'm with you. But I'm just letting you guys know that your information may have been exposed. Please, find out I got herpes. I don't care, but please just don't take my social security number. That's all I ask with you. But I'm just letting you guys know that your information may have been exposed. Please, find out I got herpes. I don't care. But please just don't take my social security number. That's all I ask.

All right. Okay. All right. We'll make that deal. All right. And that's front page news. Now, when we come back, who's joining us, Charlamagne? Queen Ayanla Vanzant.

He got it right. He got it. Okay. She's got a new season of Fix My Life Out. She's got a new podcast, the Fix My Life podcast, I believe. Yeah, that's launching. I just dig her energy a lot. So we'll kick it with her when we come back.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about.

It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout. Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people, you know,

follow and admire, join me every week for post run high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. Ayala Van Zandt is here. She smells amazing. I do?

Yes, you do. How are you this morning? I'm good. What you don't know? You smell good. You gotta know what you put on. Well, you know what? I make, that's my body product. I make it. So I smell it all the time. So I never I'm used to it. It doesn't matter. So is it an oil? A spray?

I have a body wash. It's called Masterpiece Body Therapy. I have a body wash. I have a shower oil. Wow. I have a body butter. Sounds like you Masterpiece Body Therapy. I have a body wash. I have a shower oil. Wow. I have a body butter. Sounds like you need to get these products. It smells very refreshing. Yeah, it is.

Because the room normally stinks. It's created with oil and herbs so that we clean our energy as we wash our body. Because we don't think about energy. Clean your energy. Clean your energy. Because a lot of people have cootie energy. Yeah, if you got stink energy, that's a different level. That's right.

It doesn't matter how much you wash if you don't clear your energy. You know, whether it's sadness or grief or anger or upset, how do you clear that? I'm an energy person, too. Like, if your energy isn't right, I don't want nothing to do with you. I don't care who you are. But how do we clean our energy? Nobody teaches us that. And you have to have a lot of people whose energy isn't right

because that's basically what you do is you are working on fixing people's energy. Well, their minds. Because if your mind is not right, your energy is going to be off. And we got a lot of people with off minds right now. I won't mention any names. Listen, we're going to revisit some of your past episodes, but we are gearing up. The new season has come.

Yes. Fix My Life. Yes. And I saw you had Selena Johnson and Syl Johnson on. Well, that was from before. From before. That was just rebooting to see where they are now. But we started this season Saturday with the Mitchell family, which was the family of the

five brothers that were with me last year. All this rebooting. Because you know what's good about that? It's not like you just move on from them and we never see them again. Right. We need to revisit and see since you had them on the show, what steps have been taken, where are they now, how much has that work been done.

And how much have they done the work. And we saw with the Mitchells on Saturday that they kind of forgot to do their work. Is that easier or harder to work with somebody you've already worked with before? Well, it's not easy or hard. It's just getting them to understand this thing is a consistent thing. It's not like a one-hit wonder. You do it and then you're fixed. You've got to continue with the work.

I think people don't understand healing is a process. It is a process. You don't go to surgery and then come out and you're done. You've got to go in. You go into the recovery process. You don't go to surgery and then come out and you're done. You got to go in. You go into the recovery room. Then the stitches have to heal. Then you have to rebuild your strength in that particular area. It's the same thing with the mind and the heart.

You don't just get the information and voila, I'm healed. And particularly if you've been in this dysfunction or pain or breakdown for a number of years. You need time to recover. Sometimes I think we automatically assume when someone agrees to do the show that they want to get this work done. And sometimes these people are very resistant. No, we don't look for people. Everybody who comes, comes to us. But they have to agree to do it.

But they don't know what it is. Right. They don't know what it is. It's just like you marry Charlie and, you know, because y'all got along good at the club, you think he's fine, and then you get home and you realize his breath stink, his feet stink, and now he got a key. So you got to, you know, they don't really understand.

Right. And so, and me, I'm not there to agree with you. I'm not there to make you feel good. I'm there to cut through, you know, whatever the crust is so that we can get to the center and the core. And it's frightening. Yeah. You know, and that's why sometimes I get a little concerned, you know, because the viewers are looking at their clothes and their hair and their fingernails. No, no, no.

These people have put their soul on the line. Look for the lesson. Look for what you can use. DMX is trying to come back and perhaps revisit that. Is that something you're open to? He's not ready for me. He's not ready to do the work. It's just not fair to him. It's not fair to me. It's not fair to the viewer. Do you think that when a man is that age and he's still not ready to do the work, will he ever get right? Yeah, yeah, he can.

Okay. He can, but the thing is, not just with Earl or DMX, but people can't come. You can't go into surgery and tell the doctor how to do it. Right. You know what I mean? You can't go into surgery and say, cut me this way, stitch me that way. You have to go in with a level of trust and openness and willingness. And I think for men particularly, coming to me, a woman, the ego gets involved.

And since men aren't really programmed and conditioned and processed about how to process their feelings, when I hit that nerve, the man is coming for me, the woman. And I'm not there for that. I'm there to help you clear. But it's a lot. It's hard. You know why that is too? I never thought about that.

I never thought about how men would react to a woman speaking to them about things and how different that could be than how they react to a man. I would think a woman, when you talk about emotions, would be better equipped for a man to want to. But the first thing that's going to come up is shame or embarrassment. And then the ego will jump in. A fragile male ego. That's right.

And then they come in for me as the woman, you know. And I try to hold a space so I can be a soft place for them to fall. But that's because men don't know how to react to anything other than with violence in a lot of situations. Or to get angry. Well, no one has taught any of us as human know how to react to anything other than with violence in a lot of situations. Or to get angry. Well, no one has taught any of us as human beings how to process our emotions. None of them. Whatever it is. We're taught that fear or sadness is weakness.

We're taught that anger is bad or wrong. We don't even know how to process things like sorrow, disappointment, you know, anxiety. We can't even distinguish between them. We may have a disappointment and think it's gas. So it's really my experience has been the average human in this society has a very limited emotional vocabulary and an emotional library. Very, very limited. So most of us are emotionally retarded. Yeah. We have arrested development when it comes to understanding and processing our emotions.

Same thing with women. You know, we know how to be happy. We know how to be angry. But do we know how to express sorrow, grief, sadness, anxiety? Do we know how to, we know what frustration is, but do we know the root and cause of it? Do we understand it's disappointment or maybe it's, you know, some incomplete conversations we have?

So we're really emotionally retarded. That's why I think we need SEL in schools, starting in elementary school. Yes. Because I know for a fact, I've just learned to start processing my emotions over the past couple of years, and that's because of therapy.

Right. I feel like they need that in schools to let everybody just learn how to deal with their emotions early. Well, even identify the emotion. Sometimes you don't have to deal with them. You just need to know what it is and have permission to have the feeling. People will tell you, don't

say that. Don't feel like that. Don't do that. You know, we just cut it off and not understanding that emotion is the energy that moves us. So that's why my whole masterpiece body wash line came about because so many of us are emotionally constipated.

So you got a laxative too? Yeah, it's called a body wash. Clean that stuff off your body. Because it's herbs and oils. And herbs break it down. But so many of us are emotionally constipated. And then we go to the self

medication. Whether it's the drinking or the smoking or the porn or the shopping or the whatever it is. Shopping does make me feel great sometimes. It does, too. But can I tell you something? I'll confess this because, you know, I fly around a lot. I do a lot of work. And I remember the first two or three seasons of Fix My Life. Afterwards, I would go in a store

and just lose my mind. I mean, shoes, bras, whatever. It didn't matter. And then we'd get home, and I'm like, why do I have this? What is this? But what I got was I was giving, giving, giving. I felt depleted,

and I was filling the void with shopping. And I had to stop that. So now when I feel that, now that I know what it is, I know what the void feels like when I feel that, the last place I go is shopping. That's actually when I used to cheat on my wife. I was doing it for ego. And then it's like you realize that's not what's filling you up. Right.

It doesn't fill you up. It feels like you're just pouring something into a bottomless cup. That's right. A bottomless cup. Yeah. Because no matter how much I bought, I would still get home and still have the thing. Right. And then you also managed yourself. Yeah, and now I got the bill.

Forget the thing. I could use the thing. It was the bill that I was concerned about. All right, we have more with Iyan Lavon Sant. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Iyan Lavon Sant. Yee. As we see so many more conversations about mental health happening now, do you feel like your show was kind of ahead of its time? Yeah. And what it was that you've been doing? Yeah, and five years from now,

some other person will come along and they'll get Emmys and Grammys and all that other stuff. Same thing that happened when I did Starting Over. When I started processing women on Starting Over, the next thing you know, now everybody's in the house, you know, and Starting Over isn't even remembered. The same thing with Fix My Life. I'm usually on the bleeding edge, not even the cutting edge.

I'm out so far ahead of the thing until I'm bleeding. Because when Fix My Life first started, people thought I was crazy. And now it's become a part of the culture. And I personally, I could be very wrong. Please forgive me if I am. A white person is going to come along and do it and it'll be raves. Get all the credit for it.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's such a staple for us, but I do feel like early on people didn't understand so much. Why would you go on that show? Why is she talking to them like that? And there was a lot of criticism, but people also love the show at the same time. Well, now they do because I've been consistent. Right.

And they've seen the results. And they've done what I asked them to do. Because the first two seasons, we used to give a worksheet for each show. And tell people, don't look at the people, do your work. So now people get it. Okay, this may not be my story, but I can apply this. So now they're doing it. But I'm still a black woman doing it. Okay, this may not be my story, but I can apply this. So now they're doing it. But I'm still a black woman doing it.

You understand? NBC, CBS, Fox, they would never look at it until they put a white person in there. I remember so clearly when I did Iyanla, the talk show, how the producers told me, nobody wants to see you dancing. Nobody wants to see any music. Uh-oh. Okay, Ellen. And then here come Ellen.

Exactly. All right? When I wanted to do, they told me, nobody wants to watch television with people solving problems all the time. All right, Dr. Phil. Okay. I mean, this has been my experience. No heat, no judgment. My purpose is my purpose.

I've been blessed and humbled by what I've been able to do on the Oprah Winfrey Network and grateful. But you mark my words because you'll still be here. Five years from now, they're going to put a white person on the network doing this, and it'll be raves all over the world. You're absolutely right because I did a live therapy session last year on VH1 and I wanted to assist Dr. Jessica Clemons to be the therapist. Right. And I had to fight for her. Yeah. Because they wanted to bring in Dr. Drew and I'm like, listen, the last thing

my people want to see is a black man talking to a white man about their problems. A white man calls most of them. Right. And that's not about Dr. Drew. No. Because he's a wonderful person. But it's just about the things in this society that we won't talk about. We won't talk about the presence of race and how it impacts us and what happens and what goes on. We just won't talk about it.

We got this wonderful occupant in the White House, you know, who's clearly demonstrating some mental imbalances. And we're trying to explain it away. What are the mental imbalances? Because I feel like all old white rich males have a lot of those mental imbalances. I don't know that many to be able to speak about it. But, you know, if one of my grandchildren were to behave publicly the way the occupant of the White House does, they'd have to come over to Ye-Ye's house for a conversation. I'm Ye-Ye. Ye-Ye need to get you in check, boo.

Judging people, calling people, being disrespectful, not telling the truth, you know, not owning your stuff, putting stuff out there and then saying you didn't put it out there. What are you drinking? You smoking happy flowers again? Don't do that. That's something we have to check up on. I think it's just power. I think it's power and privilege. That may be it.

But then look how we're responding. We're sitting here, you know, one finger up our nose and one up our butt. Like, this is going on. You know, it makes me crazy. I'm like, why are we asking this? Why are we asking it? Because we have to take responsibility. It's out here because we do it in here.

We do it every day. I have to go back to what our brother D.L. Hughley said years ago. People don't pay attention to it. He said, Barack Obama is what we aspire to be, but Trump is who we are. Who we are. Damn. Well, we do it. That's America.

Okay, let me just ask you. I can't. How many times in your private, personal life, you don't have to answer me, just think about it, do you say something? And then when you get have to answer me. Just think about it. Do you say something? And then when you get called on it, deny that you say it. How many times have you done it in relationships with your kids?

We do it with our kids all the time. I'm going to get you so-and-so, go over there, and then we don't do it. And then when the kids come back and say, you said so-and-so. No, I didn't. You know, we do it all the time.

How many times do you, you know, rally people to be on your side to make you right and shove other people away or tear other people down to make your point? Maybe, you know, I've done it. I'm better now. I'm healed, thank you, Lord. But I recognize what I'm looking at. It's a process.

Everything that I see there, I've done it. Right. In my personal life, in my relationships, with my children, to myself. To myself. So I think that he's very purposeful. He's showing us who we are. We need to stop looking at him and look at ourselves. And when I said that before, his wonderful supporters came after me.

You know, I said the same thing about Jussie Smollett. We do it. What he did, we did. Basically, what he did at the bottom line was he told a lie. Yeah. Although he'll still say now that he's telling the truth. I'm not. I'm saying how it affected us.

I don't know what his consciousness is. Haven't had a conversation with him. Now, R. Kelly's somebody you could have had a conversation with. I'm not. I'm saying how it affected us. I don't know what his consciousness is. Haven't had a conversation with him. Now, R. Kelly is somebody you could have had a conversation with. No, no. No, no. Not ready. But he wanted to. He wanted to.

Again, you know, I'm very clear about mental imbalance when I see it. I'm very clear about distortion in energy when I see it. Not that I won't work with it, but you got to see it. I'm very clear about distortion and energy when I see it. Not that I won't work with it, but you got to own it. And I'm real clear when somebody's coming to me to tell their story not to get healed.

I'm not a, I don't process stories. I do the healing and I don't think he was ready. He needed to tell his story. So he can't come to you until he's ready to admit he has a problem. Yeah. He's still in denial.

Did you speak to him already personally behind the scenes? Not personally, but through his people. And just the mere fact that he was making demands of how he wanted this thing to happen. No way. And I'm like, I ain't on that committee, brother. What kind of demands could you make? I'm not coming to you. You thing to happen. No way. And I'm like, I ain't on that committee, brother. What kind of demands could you make? I'm not coming to you, you come to me. Y'all

LaVan Zand ain't coming to you, boo. Not because I'm Y'all LaVan Zand, but because doctors don't make house calls anymore. They don't? Not that I'm aware of. You gotta go to the hospital And he needed

Emergency triage At that point And in order to really heal Not just these people but any of us They are just a demonstration You gotta be willing to own your stuff But if the shame And the guilt and the denial

And the resistance is what you're holding on to, you're not ready. Right. You know? All right, don't move. We got more with Iyanla Vonsant when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Iyanla Vonsant is here. Charlamagne? I saw you say, too, that black women comparing themselves to each other is an act of violence. It is an act of violence. It is an act of violence. Can you expound on that? Well, comparing themselves to each other,

what she has and what she did, she didn't get it. This whole war that goes on among the youngins, these beautiful artists who are fighting

against each other, that's not us. We are a we people. Right. Our ancestral, historical DNA is about community, about us.

This thing that they're doing, you know, I don't want to call no names, but as an elder, I'm going to pow-pow their butt if I ever see them. You think social media really plays the biggest role in that? Absolutely. Yeah, because we beat each other up when we see what somebody else is doing, comparing yourself to somebody else. Yeah, and tearing each other down. Let me tell you something.

If I hear, I'm going to come get you in the corner and I'm going to dress you down. I'm not going to get on the radio or TV or the social media and call you out like that. That's inappropriate, babe. That's not us.

That's not our culture. That's not our way. So this thing that they're doing, this one fighting that one, and they ain't friends and this and that and the other thing, and at the same time we'll sit by and watch each other die. Everybody knew about or many people knew about R. Kelly. Right.

Many people knew about DMX. Many people knew about Whitney and Michael, and we're sitting there worrying about what they're doing with their money but watching them die come on now we need to stop that I'm not gonna let you die I'm not you know now I call you you have to take my call how would you intervene with a Michael remove everybody who was around him from around him. That's number one. Because people who are invested and you staying sick will allow you to stay sick. I don't have an investment in him being sick. I want him healed.

Whether it's him or Whitney or Phyllis Hyman. I mean, the story goes on. We've seen it before. When we see R. Kelly and we see how the people around him knew everything that he was doing, they had knowledge about the tapes, they've seen it before. When we see R. Kelly and we see how the people around him knew everything that he was doing, they had knowledge about the tapes, they've seen the tapes, don't you think they should have some type of accountability for the people that allowed this to go on and even helped? Accountable to who? Who are they going to be accountable to?

I would think legally. Well, they have to first have enough integrity to be accountable to themselves. Oof. You know? They got to first have that level of integrity because that means they have to admit I was getting a check from him. And the

quieter I became, the bigger my check got. They got to admit that. They got to own that first before we can even start talking about them being held accountable. Now you also have the podcast launching. Yes. Which is really just going back over all the wonderful shows and looking at the lessons and the things that we did.

I feel like you should have been at a podcast. That's a no-brainer right there. Well, you know, I do. I can only do a few. I'm old, Charlamagne. I can't do it. You're not old. Stop it.

I am old. Seasoned. Wait a minute. Seasoned? No, I'm old. Not aged, but I'm old. Because there's this whole big conversation on the internet this weekend. Because I've been on tour and I've been posting my pictures.

And people are talking about how all the plastic surgery I had. No, I'm not on the plastic surgery. Where the plastic surgery at? I don't know. They're just saying you look good, really. Yeah, but why not say you look good for your age as opposed to she's had work done? Because everything that looks good nowadays is artificial, so when they see it natural, they don't even recognize that. Let me tell you something.

If I were to take this shirt off, all of y'all would be horrified. I just know how to make it look good. You got to get the girl, your grandma used to make you wear it? Listen, but I have been out there with no Spanx on. That's pretty good. It's called push-ups. It's called a green drink. It's called cut out the fried foods.

It's called don't let crazy people worry you and turn your hair gray and give you wrinkles. How about that? It's called prayer. It's called meditation. How about that? I feel like the queen's been looking amazing lately, though. I look at Oprah. Oprah look youthful. You look youthful. Angela Bassett. You about that? I feel like the queen's been looking amazing lately though. I look at Oprah. Oprah look youthful. You look

youthful. Angela Bassett. You know why? Because we have learned how to identify and avoid crazy. That's it. Oh, I just got shocked and horrified. That's Cardi B twerking on TV. This is a mother. That's somebody's

mother. She's a performer. I know, but I am too. But okay, we're not having that conversation. I'm old. How'd you used to feel about Tina Turner then back in the day? Because Tina was up there shaking. Shaking front view with her husband on the set.

That's very different. Offset was probably there. I've seen Tina do it. I mean, well, the Supremes in them, they didn't do it. I don't know why Tina never came across as sexually inappropriate to me. I don't know. But when you start with your back to everybody, maybe, I don't know. Is there a way to have that conversation without sounding judgmental?

No, you know why? Because I wouldn't the conversation, tell me what your intention is in doing that. And it's not right. It's not wrong. I don't have no heat, no judgment. Sometimes I just don't understand. Is that all there is? I'm so

happy for Cardi, for Nicki, for her. I love these young artists. I pray for them all of the time. All of them. I just don't understand why we always have to start there. That was a hit twerk.

That was a hit twerk and on camera. You ain't never been at Essence Fest and back that ass up, come on, and you felt like doing it because you did that pretty good just now. Listen, people's eyeballs

would fall out. You definitely tried though. If the other fans were to back up and start twerking come on and you felt like doing you did that pretty good just now listen people's eyeballs would fall out if the elephant were to back up and start twerking at the essence listen I can see the bodies

falling off you did that before you be doing that in the mirror I have there you go listen I've been on the pole

I've been on the pole for real yeah in my house you got a pole in your house well I had a pole party There you go. Listen, I've been on the pole. I've been on the pole. For real? Yeah. In my house. You had a pole in your house? Well, I had a pole party. Really?

I got to know what's going on. I can't be old and stupid. Who was at the pole party? Yeah, who was at this pole party? All the old women I know. We had the first shot to get the leg up. You know, that's not very sexy when you got to hold the leg on the pole. You have to hold it up.

And then we had to help each other to get it down. So when you see the young girl shaking their ass, you're not against it. You just think it's a time and place for everything. Yeah. Not all of the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not all. Everything.

Everybody. Everybody's song. It's just too much. It's too much. And we don't see the guys doing it. No, you do nowadays. They shake their butts. Absolutely.

They shake their butts. One thousand percent. I have to, I have, I gotta go to VH1. I must have missed the video. I see them, you know, I know they do the grinding and the grabbing of the crotch. I haven't seen the butt shaking. Maybe my opinion will change. Yeah, I haven't seen that either. Equal opportunity butt shakers.

I've definitely seen guys shaking their butt. I'll send y'all some videos. Well, Queen Van Zandt has to go. I do. Thank you very much for coming. Don't forget, I'm in 30 cities talking about all of this stuff. So go to iamlavanzantlive.com. I'm coming home to Brooklyn.

All right. Hey! I just want to drop one of Clues' bombs to all the young ladies out there with fresh Thank you for having me. Still bumping out our people. Yes, thank you. It's the Breakfast Club. All right. Hey.

I just want to drop one of Clues bombs to all the young ladies out there with fresh weaves for the summer. You know what I'm saying? Salute to our producer, Taylor. She got a fresh 14 inches in this morning. Okay, Taylor. Okay. I see you.

In here glowing. All right. He hating. He hating. I said she glowing. All right. I think I'm going to get a weave again soon. All right.

Getting ready for the summer. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk. Why not? the summer. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk about Black China. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.

Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, as you know, Black China has a reality series that she's been filming, The Real Black China. And to prove to you how unscripted it is, they actually have released a trailer. And the trailer is pretty explosive. It is Black China and her mother, Tokyo Toni. And you can see they have a pretty toxic relationship.

You got problems. You need a therapist. Be a real one for one minute. It's you. It's you. It's you. It's you. Really?

It's you. Okay, come back again. It's you. You, what am I gonna do? It's you. It's you. It's you. Okay, come back again. It's you. You're the problem. Get in my face. Nobody took care of your ass but me. You better keep your mother's hands on my face. Five days.

Don't touch me no more. Keep playing with me. All right, bye. Go on again, bitch. I'm gonna fuck you up. Get out of my house. Bye, bitch. I'm gone.

I hate you. I don't know how I feel about all that dysfunction being broadcasted on TV because I don't know how much true healing can happen in front of the camera. That's her talking to her mama? Yes. And her mom talking to her. Because, you know, all of that is just for entertainment purposes. Like, they're not really trying to get no true healing or understanding

doing that in front of the camera. I'm still scared of my mama right now. There's no way I would talk to her like that. Well, you can see later on they did reunite, and the two of them were hugging each other. So they have had certainly a lot of ups and downs, but it's on the Zeus Network, and it premieres this summer. That all started because she was telling Blac Chyna that she needed a therapist, and then Blac Chyna blew some vape smoke in her mom's face.

Jesus. What? That's crazy. All right, Mac Miller. There's a documentary on Mac Miller that's reportedly in the works. Filmmaker C.J. Wallace made that announcement via Twitter. He said, so over the next year, I'm going to start collecting interviews and content to make the definitive Mac Miller documentary for his family, friends, and fans.

Please share and tag anyone you think we need to speak with. Dropping the clues bombs from Mac Miller, man. Missed that guy. The good brother right there. And so much love. I saw a new, they have this new mural that went up of him. I was driving, I forget exactly where I was, but it was an amazing looking mural. In the city?

Or Brooklyn? I think it was in Brooklyn. Okay. Yeah, it was in Brooklyn. You know we spent our 20, Max spent his 21st birthday with us? Yes, I remember. And I took him to his first bar after he turned 21. I remember that night.

Where he could go buy drinks and everything for the first time. He didn't know what to do. And you got him drunk? Yes, he did. I wouldn't say that. I mean, he got tipsy. He got tipsy. He's 21.

He's overage. Yeah, he was already 21. We went to this bar. It was a good night because he didn't even know how to put his car down to buy drinks. He had never done that before. Oh. So he was like, how do I order a drink from the bar? Yes. And it was him and all his boys came out. And he before. Oh. So he was like, how do I order a drink from the bar? Yes.

And it was him and all his boys came out and he didn't tell his security he was going and everybody was going crazy for him. We did make that young man pay for all the drinks. Yes, we did. All right, Jay-Z, he is a billionaire. Wow. Yes, according to Forbes

and they talk about how he created his billion dollar fortune. So congratulations to the first hip hop billionaire about how he created his billion-dollar fortune. So congratulations to the first hip-hop billionaire. Dropping a Kool's bomb for Hov. Listen, Hov is on my list of people who have influenced me in my life, and I'm talking about right up there with the Elijah Muhammad's and the Minister Farrakhan's and the James Baldwin's and Malcolm X's of the world. I got Sean Carter right up there, not necessarily because of his money,

but because of his growth and his evolution that we've all seen over the years. Well, let's talk about why he's a billionaire. $310 million. That's because of Ace of Spades. He fully owns that, right? He fully owns that 100%. Cash and investments, $220 million, including a stake in Uber that's worth about $70 million. D'Ose, that's worth about $70 million.

Dope. Duce, that's worth $100 million. That's a joint venture that he has with Bacardi. Title, $100 million. Nice. Rock Nation, $75 million. His music catalog is worth $75 million. His art collection, $70 million, and real estate worth $50 million.

Congrats to him. And Beyonce, priceless. Yeah, that doesn't even include Beyonce's cash flow either. That's just Jay-Z. Well deserved, man. And Serena Williams also made history. She's the first athlete ever to make the Forbes list of world's richest self-made women. So congratulations to Serena. She's

worth an estimated $225 million. That's important that they said self-made because I was actually having this discussion last week. When you see a lot of billionaires throughout the world, it's usually because of inheritance, that when they're women. It was because of inheritance or it was passed down

and they got into a divorce or something like that. So that's probably why they put self-made. Right, you know, she's invested quietly in over 34 startups over the past five years. And she also has her own investment entity, Serena Ventures, which will focus on funding companies founded by women and minorities. So shout out to Serena. A lot of people out here getting money. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, who you giving that donkey to, Charlemagne? It's a woman named Linda. Well, she's not a woman. It's a devil named Linda Ferristine who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a little word with her. All right. We'll get into that next.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Good morning. Just don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkeys. It's time for donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. It's a breakfast club, bitch.

You're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, June 4th goes to a woman named Linda Fairstein. That name may ring a bell for some of you right now, but I have no idea why her last name is Fairstein when there's nothing fair about her. In fact, her middle name should be Don't Play because Linda don't play Fairstein. By now, you all should have watched

When They See Us on Netflix, the latest masterpiece from Queen Ava DuVernay. Drop on the clues bombs for Ava DuVernay. Is there anybody doing activism through art better than Ava right now? Jesus, God bless Ava, all right? God bless Queen Ava. She is truly making a difference on this planet.

It is very inspiring. But we not here to talk about gods, all right, and goddesses this morning. We here to talk about devils. And Linda Fairstein, Linda don't play Fairstein, is indeed a devil. Oh, she has allowed Satan to use her in a way I have never seen. See, Satan loves mayonnaise. Satan puts mayonnaise on everything. 90% of all evils in the world have too much goddamn mayonnaise on them, okay? Too much mayonnaise ruins everything, all right? You need just enough, not a lot, just enough. Too much

of it ruins any dish, all right? Too much mayonnaise makes tuna disgusting. Too much mayonnaise makes potato salad disgusting. Too much mayonnaise makes any sandwich disgusting. And that's exactly why Satan loves to spread the evil that is mayonnaise everywhere, because he wants to ruin things. Now, the human jar of hellions we are discussing today, Linda, don't play Fairstein. She was the former assistant DA and head of the sex crimes unit of the County of New York from 1976 to 2002. And she oversaw the prosecution of the Central Park jogger case. Oversaw is a great word for what she did in this case because she moved like an overseer. Overseers were paid to get the most work out of the slaves. Therefore, overseers often resorted to whatever means were necessary to get what they wanted

out of slaves. In the case of Linda Don't Play Fairstein, she was an overseer who resorted to whatever means were necessary to wrongly convict five kids. Okay, five. Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Corey Wise, Yusuf Salam, and Antron McCray, who were wrongfully convicted for the rape and assault of a 28-year-old woman in Central Park. Now, there was no evidence tying them to the crime. And at the time, the young men were 14, 15, 16, respectively, and they spent six and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist by the name of Matias Reyes admitted to committing the assault in 2002. Now, if you've seen When They See Us on Netflix, then you know that the overseer, Lyndon O'Plaferstein, demanded

law enforcement to build the case around these innocent young men in fact her exact quote from when they see us is every young black male who was in the park last night is a suspect in the rape of that woman who is fighting for her life by the way don't think that quote is a one-time thing all right might be my own black paranoia okay my black annoyah but i have a sneaky suspicion that is how they see us at all times. Every black man in America period is a suspect for something. That's why they profile us the way they do, because that's how they see us. All right. We have a target on our backs at all times. The exact same way, almost immediately, every young black male who was in Central Park that night had a target on their back. And if you saw when they see us, you know that Lyndon on play.

Fairstein was accused of leading intimidation efforts to generate false confessions from these young men. White people, Linda Don't Play Fairstein should embarrass you. If you are white and watched when they see us and you didn't feel disgusted, disturbed, angry at the way Linda Don't Play Fairstein and the rest of those devils in that law enforcement treated those young brothers, then you probably got mayonnaise pumping in your varicose veins too. Now, what is the reason we are all gathered here today? Well, if you know anything about the history of overseers who oversaw the plantation and oversaw the slaves, they sometimes would drive the overseer off the plantation. Oh, yeah.

Ever so often, slaves would get fed up and force their overseer off the plantation. And that's exactly what happened yesterday, because almost 30 years later, after watching When They See Us, people are calling for a boycott of Linda Fairstein's books and demanding that Amazon and other retailers remove her novels from their shelves. Who in here feels sorry for her show of hands? Not a goddamn hand in the room raised, all right? Let's listen to what one of the victims, Raymond Santana, told TMZ about Linda, don't play Fairstein.

In 1989, when all those articles were written about us in the first two weeks of this case, and 90% of those articles never mentioned alleged, that was the backlash that we received. And now she's receiving it. When you do dirt, you can't run. No matter how long it is, the truth comes out. And even though it's 30 years later, she has to pay for her crime, whether it's in the courtroom or whether it's socially, it is what it is. So at the end of the day, there is no correction for her. There is no saying, I'm sorry. We don't want an apology from her. You know, she has to pay the

consequence. She has to pay for her crimes. Simple as that. I mean, it was indeed a crime. All right. The real crime Linda wasn't interested in solving. All right. Linda was interested in sending five innocent black men to prison for a crime they didn't commit. Her hatred for black people trumped her love for her own gender. I repeat, her hatred for black people trumped her love for her own gender. She's so anti-black that she forgot to be pro-woman because if she actually cared about this young woman being sexually assaulted, she would have spent that time, that energy, and those resources on finding the real perpetrator, Matias Reyes, whose DNA was found at the crime scene. Yes, the DNA at the crime didn't match any of the five

black young men Linda sent to prison, but it did match Matias Reyes, who at the time of his confession was serving a life sentence for raping three other women near Central Park, in addition to raping and killing a pregnant woman. Oh, Matias Reyes was a serial rapist. Matias Reyes, four months after the Central Park rape, raped a woman in her Upper East Side apartment. That woman got away, and the superintendent of the building was able to hold Matias down, and he pled guilty to raping her, two other women, and raping and killing a fourth. If you keep in score, that's five

rapes in total and two attempted rapes. Linda, don't play fast, Dean. I don't know if you realize it or not, but you are complicit in any of those rapes that he committed after the Central Park rape because you had the opportunity to remove the real threat off the street, but instead you was too busy trying to convict five innocent men now I don't know you know

you felt like you would rather send five black men to jail instead of one but for whatever reason you ignored the real threat and that real threat continued to victimize other women now social media has been on Linda don't play fair scenes ass oh they drove that overseer off the plate the plantation because Linda don't play fair scene has deleted all her social media. Yes, after hashtags like boycott Simon and shoot to win viral and cancel Linda Fehrstein went viral, she has decided to cancel her social media accounts.

Once again, raise your hands if you feel sorry for her in this room. Nobody does. I don't feel sorry for her at all. I've seen this play before. See, what Linda Fehreen is gearing up to do, I guarantee, is sue. That is what white privileged entitled people do. Even when they are dead wrong, they sue. When they should be holding the mayonnaise, they decide to put mayonnaise on everything and sue. She's going to sue everyone involved in When They See Us. She's going to sue Netflix. She's going to sue Queen A. Waduvinae, the studio production company.

She's going to say this film caused her emotional distress and mental anguish. White privileged people love the word anguish probably because it sounds like something you would

buy at Whole Foods. Can I get a turkey avocado with anguish? And jalapeno mayonnaise? Lots of jalapeno mayonnaise. All right, Linda is going to claim she was traumatized

by When They See Us and her life has become a living hell because of this miniseries. Well, you want to talk trauma, Linda? You want to talk living hells? Well, meet Raymond, Kevin, Corey, Yusuf, and Antron. You remember them, right? I mean, I'm sure you've gotten so many innocent black and brown people sent away for good, so it's hard to keep up, but you have to remember these five, right?

They were traumatized by your actions. Their teenage years and most of their adult lives were stolen from them. They had to live in a hell, in a cell, you know. You want to talk about being traumatized, emotional distress, mental anguish, those brothers will never truly be mentally healthy because of you. Lifetime of therapy needed because of you. PTSD, anxiety, depression forever because of you. Reach out to one of them. Sit down and have a conversation with one of them so you can really see and hear what a victim sounds like. Because Linda don't play fair scene, you are not one.

All right? You don't get to play victim to a set of circumstances that you created. I don't understand how people don't respect the laws of karma. I don't care who or what you are. Karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard. Word to Lauren Hill. There is a natural law of karma that vindictive people who go out of their way to hurt others will end up broken alone. I don't know your circumstances, Linda, don't play fair steam, but it's not too late for you to end up broken alone and you deserve it. Okay. If you

end up broken alone, you earned it. You got a mighty God to answer to. And there's no amount of white woman weeping that can make anyone feel sorry for you. You can whimper, snivel, blubber. I wouldn't give a damn what mayonnaise flavored, you know, liquid comes out of your eyes and smears your mascara until you properly apologize to those five young men and finally acknowledge that they're innocent. No good is going to come to you, okay? People like you create their own storms and then get upset when it rains. People like you create your own sandwiches with too much goddamn mayonnaise and then get upset when it tastes disgusting. You can't even start the process of forgiveness. Linda, don't play fasting until you apologize, okay?

Repentance is a process and not something that happens in one particular moment. It requires consistency, and you've only been consistent with the lie that these men are guilty for your own sodium-flavored mayonnaise-based soul. You need to start the process of repentance okay by admitting the truth but you won't all right America has an apologizer I attempted to correct the evils of slavery and Jim Crow

segregation so it's just not in your nature to apologize for something you did wrong you're just following pale-faced protocol and reminding the world that mayonnaise is truly Satan's favorite condiment. Please let Kathy Griffin handle my white work and give Linda, don't play Fairstein, the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. All right. Yes, sir. Thank you for that donkey of the day.

So she still works at Safe Horizon or is she out of there yet? I have no idea what Satan is doing this morning Alright, when we come back You had an interesting article that you were reading, right? Yeah, I was reading about this young man 28 years old, Justin's son He just paid $4.6 million For the opportunity to have lunch with Warren Buffett

He's only 28. And he's the founder of a blockchain platform called Tron and CEO of peer-to-peer file sharing protocol BitTorrent. And he wants to have lunch with Warren Buffett. And he was able to pay $4.6 million for that opportunity. Okay. So, we're asking 805-85-1051. Who would you pay to have lunch with? So it has to be somebody who's alive

that you could really have lunch with. Correct. I would love to sit down and talk to Sheila Johnson. She was married to Bob Johnson, and she's the co-founder of BET. She's like the first, I think they said, one of the first black women to be worth at least $1 billion.

And she also has a lot of other ventures that she does. Like she's a she works with the WNBA's Washington Mystics. And she also has her own hospitality company. So I like the way that she's diversified into different things outside of entertainment. And I think she'd be fascinating. Myself, I would have to say it would have to be one, somebody that's big in real estate. Like if you look at some of the richest people in real estate, they're not from here.

They're names that I can't pronounce. So you don't know who? They're either Asian names or African names that I just honestly can't pronounce. Well, if you want to have lunch with them, you should learn how to pronounce their names first. I know, I know. But I think there's nobody I'm thinking about.

You can't think of anybody you would want to just talk to? No. What about Deepak Chopra? No. You wouldn't want to talk to, it rhymes with Chopra, Oprah? I wouldn't pay. I just wouldn't. I'm like, I don't know.

You're a brat. I really don't know. I would love to sit down and talk to Michael Jordan just about how he created his brand and how his brand is so iconic, but I wouldn't pay for it. You know what I mean? I wouldn't give somebody that money to have a conversation with him. It just feels funny to me. Stop acting all entitled. This is for charity also. It's not entitled.

It's like you pay a prostitute to hear you talk. It's not a prostitute. You're going to pay this prostitute and you're going to sit down and just listen to me. Master P would charge you to sit down with him and talk to him and get some business advice. Time is money, baby. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?

Who would you want to sit down with, have a lunch with? Zanique. Zanique. I love her so much. Oh, Zanique? Okay. So anybody in the world. So anybody in the world. Barack mean, I'm not just all-seater. So anybody in the world.

Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey. Girl, grab me. If I could meet her, I would be happy. Like, if y'all don't understand, I named my daughter after her. Like, I love that girl to death. Okay. All right. I hope it happens for you, girl.

All right. I do, too. Okay. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Johnny. Okay, Johnny. Who would you like to have lunch with? Gandhi.

If you have lunch with Gandhi, brother. You know, Gandhi's not here anymore. You know that. That's right. We're talking people that's alive. So I thought you were talking about anybody past tense or whatever. Yeah, no matter what amount of money you pay, that's not going to happen. Yeah, I don't think you can have it.

If you do, though, take me with you. Well, maybe don't take me with you. What, you want to die? I don't want to die. Matter of fact, never mind. All right, besides Gandhi, anybody else? But Gandhi's a good one. No, no, I just look for some kind of problem solver that can try to bring this country back together,

all this white and black versus each other. It's a bunch move. Gandhi be the only one I know that had that kind of mentality to approach a subject like that. What happened? He said Gandhi's the only person that could fix this world. Okay. All right. Okay, well, thank you for calling in, brother.

Yeah, thank y'all, man. All right. You too now. All right. 800-585-1051. Who would you pay to have lunch with? That's the question. Call us now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, this guy paid $4 million to have a sit-down. $4.6 million. To have a sit-down with Warren Buffett.

So we're asking 805-85-1051, Who would you like to have a sit-down with? Somebody offered $20 to sit down with me. $20? You're getting up there. Let's go to the phone line. Richard, good morning, Richard. Yes. What's up, Richard? Who would you like to have a sit-down with? As a big Beatles fan, I have to say Paul McCartney. Give me five minutes with Paul McCartney

and I'd be a happy man. Five minutes, five minutes. Who would you ask him? I would ask him for an autograph and a picture with him and everything like that and tell him how much I always enjoy his music and his talents. What's your favorite

Paul McCartney song? My favorite Paul McCartney song? Oh, dude, Uncle Albert, Admiral Halsey. Okay, all right. Our camera guy says the same thing. Shout out to Steve.

Dude! Hey, what's your name? What's happening? Hey, dude, who would you like to sit down with? Who would you like to pay to sit down with? Man, I will pay any amount to sit down with Linda Don't Play Fierce.

Ooh. Why? That doesn't sound like it's going to end well. No, I'm going to be a gentleman, right? So when you sit down, you know how the gentleman pulls the lady's seat out. Yeah. I'm going to pull her seat out. As soon as she goes to sit her man-name's butt down,

I'm going to pull it all the way out and let her fall. Right where she's not looking. Yeah. And I'm going to help her up. I'm going to pull it all the way out and let her fall right on her. Right where she's not looking. Yeah. And I'm going to help her up. I'm going to say, oh, my bad. Lipid don't play. And then when we sit down

and order, right? Mm-hmm. When we sit down and order, I'm going to order just a mayonnaise sandwich. Mm-hmm. As soon as she's starting to talk about her date,

I'm going to smash that mayonnaise sandwich in her face and walk out. That's assault, but okay. Okay. I get where you're going. I get where you're going. And I'll pay top dollar for that. Okay. assault, but okay. I get where you're going. I get where you're going. And I'll pay

top dollar for this. Okay, good. All right. Dionne! Going left. Yeah. Who would you pay to have lunch with Dionne? Rihanna, bro. And what would you ask Rihanna? Would she marry me? Nah, I'll just play. Nah, I'll ask her

how did she get to a place where she at now, you know what I'm saying? We're coming from a not-based, big-based island. You just want to holler. Just say you want to holler, bro. I want to holler. There you go. I want to holler. All right, man. I want to holler. Oh, my God. What was he even saying?

Hello, who's this? Tiffany is here. Hey, Tiffany. Now, if you could pay to have lunch with one person, who would you want to pay to have lunch with? I'm going to pay Steve Harvey to have lunch. Okay, Steve Harvey. So you can go in there and think like a man. What would you ask Steve Harvey?

Because Steve Harvey had a Steve Harvey cruise, and my mom paid over $1,000 to go on the cruise, and we had a family death, and they would not compensate her any of her money back. So I want to pay him to go on the cruise and we had a family death and they would not compensate her any of her money back so I want to pay him to go to lunch so I can let him know.

Let him have it. He didn't need the money but it was just a principle that he got all the money and he still kept the money. Okay,

I wasn't anticipating that was the reason but... Damn. Alright. She wanted to sit down to lunch and be like, look, I need my mom's money back. I'm going to pay to get my. Damn. All right. She wanted to sit down at lunch and be like, look.

I want my money back. I need my mom's money back. I'm going to pay to get my money back. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Donna. Hey, Donna. If you could pay to have lunch with one person, who would it be? It would be with all of you at that radio station.

Ooh, at the breakfast club, baby. Tell me what you got. Yes. You can't do that to me. You know what? I'm on my way into work. I hope I'm not all fired up. Because this morning, when you talked about the donkey of the day and how karma will get you back.

Uh-huh. Everything that y'all say, every day, I listen to and I am like, wow. They are just telling the truth, speaking the truth out here on the radio station. I hope everyone is listening. I would pay money to come and sit down and have lunch with y'all. We charge a dollar each. That's three dollars. You got three dollars, mama?

I got it. I don't know if it's worth it. Hey, I don't know if it's worth it. It might be a waste of three dollars. No, it is well worth every three dollars. I would pay $3,000, $300, $3 million. Hold on.

Hold on the line. Hold on. You said $3 million. You hold on. I'll give you my cash app. Thank you, Mama. You are welcome. You guys have a great day.

You too. What's the moral of the story, Yen? The moral of the story is that networking can be a really powerful thing. A lunch with somebody can change your life. So if you have the opportunity to meet somebody that you think could be beneficial to you, then go for it. Because if you can't be used,

you're useless. Okay, all right. There's a lot of morals in there. All right, well, you got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to talk about somebody who wants to sit down as well, okay? Anthony Joshua. Would you think this person

would be a good manager for him after that disappointing fight that he had with Andy Ruiz Jr.? Well, he's still sitting down right now after that ass-whipping, but we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk George Foreman. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, George Foreman was telling TMZ Sports that he wants to take on Anthony Joshua as far as management. Okay. He thinks that he can actually help him out after he had that loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. at Madison Square Garden. All right, here's what George Foreman said. They're going to have to go back to the gym. I think he'll be a greater fighter, Joshua, now. If he goes back, get his mind together, he's going to have to go back to the gym. I think he'll be a greater fighter. Joshua now, if he goes back, get his mind together, he's going to even be better.

But right now, he better learn how to box and he better get a good manager. I'll do it. Would you help him out? That's certain. And he needs someone like me. I wonder if he took that fight serious or he looked at his opponent and was like, oh, I'm going to knock him out quickly. Well, yeah, I don't know what happened with that fight. And let's be clear, Ruiz was a last minute

replacement. Yeah, that was just a tune-up fight for the next big fight. But it looks like Ruiz whooped his ass. Mm-hmm. A lot of memes about Envy after that. I know. They said I look like Ruiz. My face. Shout out to Ruiz.

I'll take it. You do, though. I'll take it. I'll take it. Are you sure it was your face? I'll take it. I don't care. I'll take it all.

All right. Khloe Kardashian. Who wants it? What? She's talking about her relationship with Tristan Thompson after all of the cheating's gone on. And it's interesting because obviously keeping up with the Kardashians, all of that happens on the show way after it plays out in real life. And it seems like she still wasn't over him. It's really hard to regain trust, the energy I have towards True.

That's all that matters to me. And if that starts to be affected by me wondering what's Tristan doing, where is he? I will be out in two seconds. Are you still in love? I know I love him, but still, I'm not gonna act like nothing's wrong. He counts, it's been seven months,

and this, I'm like, so it's been seven months. He also needs to know your one stupid weekend. Look what it did to, you know, three years of a relationship. So was that worth it for you? She still loves him and it seems like he still has a chance and opportunity if he changes. This is all before he got caught doing other stuff again. Oh, this was after the first

time. Yeah, so, you know, that's what's really funny because we already know what happened in real life, but then you watch what happened months ago on television. All right, now let's talk about a biopic about Alvin Ailey. I'm here for that. And Oscar winner Barry Jenkins, who is director and screenwriter of Moonlight and If Bill Street Could Talk, is reportedly about to direct that movie.

That's on the life of legendary choreographer Alvin Ailey. So be interested to see that. And Alvin Ailey's Revelations pieces is one of the most performed in modern dance history. So I always go see Alvin Ailey. I go to the theater to see that. It's always a fascinating experience. My mom always goes. All right.

Now, Jeopardy! James Halshauer has finally lost on Jeopardy! And he blamed it on Drake. You know, he was just shy of winning and being the highest winning Jeopardy! contestant of all time. They thought he was going to pass Ken Jennings' $2.52 million

winning streak during his 74 games back in 2004. But unfortunately, his streak came to an end. It was his 33rd game and he was only $58,000 short of Ken Jennings' total. And that was the amount that was separating him from actually breaking that record. It was heartbreaking when this happened. The line, a great reckoning in a little room in As You Like It,

is usually taken to refer to this author's premature death over to james now he had 23 400 and his response was correct his wager a modest one for the first time that takes him to 24 799 so emma it's up to you if you came up a correct response, you're going to be the new Jeopardy! champion. Did you? You did. Yep, she won. All because of that wager. It wasn't that he got a wrong answer.

Now, congratulations to Emma. She actually wrote a college thesis paper about Jeopardy! Really? Yeah, now she's the winner. Well, congratulations. He still walked away with over $2 million, so that's still a lot of bread. He said on Twitter,

knew I shouldn't have invited Drake to the Jeopardy taping. So I guess that was his way of saying that he perhaps had the Drake curse. The Drake curse, yeah. Regardless, he's gotten a lot of fame from this. You know, they got him his own James Holzhauer day in Clark County, Nevada. He was given a key to the Las Vegas Strip. And he's also been given a chance to general manage a minor league baseball team in upstate New York for a day. And what did he do before this?

What was he? I don't know. I want to say a professional gambler. Was he a professional gambler or something like that? Yeah. Very bright guy, man. Very smart. Super smart.

Look, in order to have won that much, you're definitely super smart. And make sure y'all watch that Lion King trailer, by the way, of Beyonce. If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, I know you can't wait to see Beyonce and the Lion King, right? Yep. So I might watch that one. No, you got to watch the original first. Then you can watch the Beyonce one.

Why can't I watch this one first? No, you got to watch the original. You got to start with the original. Then you go to Disney World. Then you can watch this. All right. Well, Beyonce will be playing Nala. Okay.

Is that how you say her name? Nala, yep. Just making sure because I haven't seen it. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. You know what I seen yesterday? I took my daughter to see Aladdin. Aladdin was pretty good. It was pretty good.'t seen it. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. You know what I seen yesterday? I took my daughter to see Aladdin. Aladdin was pretty good. It was pretty good.

I'm tired of the singing song thing every scene, but it was pretty good. So if you got kids or even if you don't, it was a good flick. And make sure you watch on Netflix Always Be My Maybe. Have you seen that yet? No. You gotta watch that. You guys will love that. You and Gia should have a night at home and the kids could watch it too. Okay. It's a really

good movie. Alright, well, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Don and Gia should have a night at home. And the kids could watch it too. Okay. It's a really good movie. All right. Well, the People's Choice mix is up next. Don't move. We have a special announcement too, right? We do. All right, Revolt,

I left out of here on Thursday. And it was an amazing cruise. I mean, the kids had a good time. My babies turned six and five, so we take them on a birthday. We do something special for their birthday every year, and this year was the birthday Disney cruise. Amazing time. It wasn't as hectic as Disney World, but it was just great.

Great food, great shows, great time. The weather was beautiful. The boat was amazing. Had stuff for adults, stuff for kids, stuff for teens. I would definitely advise it to somebody out there. If you want to take your kids, or if you have no kids, there were a lot of just couples on that cruise. It was a good, good time.

So, now I'm back in action, though. Yeah, you're back. I'm back. We just saw you on a boat. I was like, I don't know where Envy is. I want you to know I hate my followers. My followers are like very just... What happened?

Just rude people. You do not hate them. Why? They're just like you. I posted a picture. My followers are like very just... What happened? Just rude people. You do not hate them. Why? They're just like you. What? I posted a picture of Ayan Levon and my first comment

It's his birthday. Don't post it. It's Donnell's birthday, too? No, I'm saying it's Cesar's birthday. Let me tell Donnell it's Cesar's birthday. Oh, my goodness. And I want to shout out to Jamie Hector. The Moving Mountains for the Arts Gala is tonight.

I'm hosting that alongside Dorian Mizik. So shout out to him. They're honoring Jesse Williams. And that's a great organization that actually helps kids just go do things in the arts, in the field of the arts. And so a lot of the kids in that program, Moving Mountains, go on to be in movies and plays, become singers, actors,

all of that. So it's a great organization that Jamie Hector has started. Alright, well, leave us with a positive note. The positive note is simply this, man. We was talking about Linda don't play fairstein earlier, and I just want to repeat something I said during Don't Care Today. Repentance is a process, and

not something that happens at one particular moment. It requires consistency. Breakfast club, bitches! We all finished or y'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.
