Danger. Danger. Danger. Everybody come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. I call in the hot seat. You're alive. You're alive. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty.

Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.

The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning, USA! Hey, good morning, fam! What's up, fam? It's... Oh, it's today's Wednesday, right? Guess what day it is! Guess what day it is! What day? You gotta know what day it is before you.

I really don't know what's going on. I don't know the days. I just pretty much just go. You've been here pretty early today. Pretty early? Yeah, you were here early today because you sent us all the text messages at like four in the morning. That was actually Dan that sent you that message that said that somebody was outside the station. That wasn't me.

I was sleeping. Oh, you know what? You're in this group text and I don't even pay attention to who's sending it. But shout out to Dan because he actually woke me up this morning because I was in a deep sleep. No, I was in a deep sleep. I was watching the Bank Heist. I don't know if you guys see it on Netflix, but I've been watching the ish out of it. So it's kind of one of those shows that after you see the first episode, you gotta see

the second, third. And it's three seasons in, so I'm like the second season, like fifth episode. So I've just been watching the hell out of it. I can't believe you don't watch Euphoria, though. Not yet. That's shameful. After the bank heist,

I'm going to watch that. And now you already missed the finale, but you got to watch that. You got to binge watch Euphoria. I just need a day to relax and chill so I can watch all these things.

You watch Bank Heist? At one in the morning. But it's really good. You could have been watching Euphoria. Yeah, you're right. I'm going to watch that next, though. Bank Heist got me, though.

But what's going on? What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? What did I do yesterday? Oh, I went to the New York Public Library. You know, I'm the ambassador for the New York Public Library. Hold on. Let me pull something out. You're pulling a book out?

What are you pulling out? Well, no. This young girl, she's 11 years old. Shout out to Audrey Hall, right? So they had a competition. And... Sorry. You were right.

Yes, I'm fine. Go ahead. What are you doing? I don't know. So they had a competition and you were right yes I'm fine so they had a competition she's actually gonna be brought out at Yankee Stadium though but what she did was she wrote this letter about her favorite book and it was very well written and she was talking about a good book that she read it's called blended by Sharon Draper and the reason why she liked it is because the parents were divorced and the young girl was mixed. She was half white and half black, just like her. So she was just excited to see that representation and find something that she could relate to.

So she wrote this really nice letter. So shout out to Audrey Hall. Only 11 years old, but it was so well written. And she's going to get honored at Yankee Stadium. So I'm sure that's exciting for her. Congrats to her. But yes, New York Public Library. You know, I work with them.

And Angela Yee Day is coming up August 28th. So I have all kinds of special things planned for that day. And of course, the New York Public Library will be involved. Okay. All right. Now, you know, I have a car show happening September 7th. I call it a big family day. This is something that's mine. I own it.

I, you know, came up with the idea. Shout out to Lincoln Tech for being a partner with me for this vision and really sponsoring It's like DJ Envy Day. Yeah, so we're doing a car show where we're going to have celebrity cars there. We're going to have just regular people's cars that just took the time and effort and put into their car. They're going to be on display.

But it's also a family day, so we have like, I call it jumpies. I think people call it other things. Every time I say jumpies, it's like, it's not jumpies, but I call it jumpies. So it's like you guys go jump in balls? See, no. Isn't that what it is? It's for kids jumpy, it's like it's not jumpies, but I call it jumpies. Bounce houses for kids. So it's like you guys go jump in balls? See, no. Isn't that what it is? It's for kids.

No, it's not balls, but it's jumpies. Is that balls inside? It's bounce house. No, not in this one. There's no balls. No balls in this one, Kinky. We're going to have face painting.

We're going to have stilt walkers for kids. We're also going to do, you know those little remote control cars that the kids can drive? We're going to have like a little track where the kids can

actually drive and have fun, just like the adults. So it's going to be a lot of fun. Is it a remote control car or a go-kart? It's a remote control car, but you can also drive it. So if the kid goes a little crazy, you can actually turn it so he doesn't hit anybody. You never seen those before? Sorry, I somebody unplugged my laptop and now it's dying and I don't

know where it is. That laptop is the worst anyway. So I'm excited about that. I know these are old, but... Yeah, it's worse. But the car show is September 7th, so I can't wait to see you guys. We're just planning.

It's a month away and it's a lot into it and I love it, though. It's been a lot of planning for you. Yes, but I love it and I can't wait for you guys And at least you did it nice way in advance.

Yeah, way in advance. So I'm excited about that. Also, I want to shout out to Kim Van. She was married to Reggie Osei, a.k.a. Combat Jack. They had an event for him yesterday also. You know, he is the king of podcasting and he passed away.

And she was there as well. She spoke, but a lot of people came out and spoke on behalf of Combat Jack. So I just want to shout out to Kim, who was a great friend of mine from when I was in high school. And, you know, it's hard to get up and talk about somebody that you've known for so long and you have children with and in front of all those people. But shout out to Akim. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking.

Now, from Hollywood Unlocked, also Love & Hip Hop LA, Jason Lee will be joining us. He has a new syndicated show. It's a countdown show. We'll talk to him about that. Also has Damage and Melissa Ford. Yes, indeed. So we'll talk to him. And let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about? What's your president doing? I'm sure he did something. Well, today he is

actually going to be in El Paso and in Dayton. And so we'll tell you how people are receiving that news. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. 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 Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe 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. 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 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. Like grace, have grace for 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. What's happening? Hey, well, morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we start with you? Well, you wanted to start. Well, you know what? Let's actually start off paying homage to Toni Morrison, who passed away.

Beloved author. She also was the first African-American woman to win a Nobel Prize. She wrote novels such as The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, Tar Baby, Beloved, Jazz, Paradise, God Help the Child, and a lot of themes in her novels like slavery, misogyny, colorism, supernaturalism.

She was just a very decorated novelist. Everybody knew Toni Morrison and read Toni Morrison novels, I would assume, at some point throughout their life. And actually, you know, she didn't publish her first novel until she was nearly 40. So she definitely wasn't an overnight success. She graduated from Howard. She had her degree in English.

Then she went on to earn a master's from Cornell University. Unapologetically black queen. So rest in peace to Toni Morrison. She was 88 years old. All right. Now, I told you before, Donald Trump will be traveling to El Paso and to Dayton Morrison. She was 88 years old. All right, now, I told you before Donald Trump will be traveling to El Paso and to Dayton today. Now, some people don't want him to come.

The mayor of Dayton in particular is saying that she does plan to tell Trump how unhelpful that he's been when it comes to gun violence. Here's what she had to say. Gun reform is definitely an example where nothing's happened. Look, I mean, if I'm telling you, I'm going to tell him happened. Are you going to tell him how unhelpful he's been?

Look, I mean, if I'm telling you, I'm going to tell him. What are you going to tell him? Like how unhelpful he's been on this. I mean, yesterday, his comments weren't very helpful to the issue around guns. I agree with her, but what president has been? I mean, guns have been the American way for a long time. It's been too many guns on the street. Like, what president has been helpful to guns, gun laws?

Alright, well, several El Paso officials have asked Trump to not visit the area. They said, don't come here, President Trump. You are not welcome. That's what Cassandra Hernandez wrote. She's a city council member that represents the neighborhood where the shooting occurred. But the mayor of El Paso, Dean Margo, who's a Republican, said he will

meet with Trump when he gets there. Isn't that kind of like the same with telling people they're not welcome in the country, though? Isn't that the same type of energy? Well, she might feel like right now we're hurting and it's directly part of your rhetoric. And we don't really feel that you're a beneficial person at this point in time

when we're suffering because of the violence that you've helped contribute to. If you're a politician, a local official, you should want to be in the president's face. You should want to have the president say it. You should want to be able to tell the president what you think, whether he's doing a good job or a bad job. Especially if he's doing a bad job, why not be telling him in his face? Yeah, I mean, sounds good. It doesn't feel like anybody telling Donald Trump anything is swaying how he behaves or what his rhetoric is.

So I can understand feeling like he's kind of a lost cause right now. You got to hold him accountable. He's the president. You can't ignore the president as much as we would like to. You got to hold the president accountable. But it's also her district.

So she probably is really seeing the effects of people affected. She probably knew some people personally that have been affected. So maybe it's just hurting too much at this time. Who knows?

Yeah, I get you. I just think it sounds kind of weird when, you know, we get at Trump for telling people, you know, go back to their country or you're not welcome here, but then tell him he's not welcome as well. It's kind of hypocritical.

Right. But we're talking about people who haven't done anything to you versus somebody who is saying all this rhetoric and saying that people who are coming from Mexico are rapists and killers. Maybe we don't feel like. I get you, but he's the president. That's cool. He's not like, he's not somebody you can ignore. He's the president of the United States of America, the leader of the free world. Yeah, but if they don't want him there, they don't want him. I get you, but he's the president. That's cool. He's not somebody you can ignore.

He's the president of the United States of America, the leader of the free world. Yeah, but if they don't want him there, they don't want him there. At this time. Right after something so painful happened and so many lives were lost. All right.

Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, a horrible morning, or maybe you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051.

Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? This is Anayo. Anayo, get it off your chest. I wanted to talk about 50 Cent stealing my show, Power. Oh, wow. They're on their sixth season, bro. It's almost over. You're a little too late, right?

Yeah, you should have been brought this up. I understand all that, but going through the process is hard. You know, I was sitting up here going through the corporate system with it and they keep pushing it back. So did you present your show to him and he stole your idea or what happened? Yeah, in 2013 I presented my show to him.

He wanted, it wasn't a show, it was a book called The Drug Game Street Politics. And so he wanted the book but I said I'd email it. And when I email it, because you know you gotta have paid portrayals said I'd email it. And when I emailed it, because, you know, you got to have paper trails when you deal with entertainment. And when I emailed him, he was like, all he said was, thanks, we'll get back with you. And then nothing else happened. And then next thing you know, once I got to the third season or whatever, and I started going back,

I was like, wait, this looks familiar. So once I got my, you know, my lawyers in there, I was like, look, you know, because you already know what you write. And I was like, yeah. Did you have the same characters? Did you have a ghost and a Tommy? Were they similar? How were they similar?

The similar things is the twins, instead of a white, instead of Tommy, it was a Puerto Rican. And then, like, you know, the DEA agent, she was finished. Like, a lot of stuff, they kept the same, you know. Well, I'm going to tell you something, man. You're a hell of a writer, and 50 did a great job with your book. Have a nice day. Have a good one, man.

Hello, who's this? This is Kayla. Hey, Kayla, get it off your chest. Good morning. Good morning. Good off your chest. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Embiid. Good morning. Charlamagne.

Good morning. Good morning. I just got a real big issue with you. Talk to me. Why don't you love us back? We love you so much in Detroit. Embiid and Yee is always here. You never come show us no love.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. You know what? I'm supposed to be in Detroit next Sunday for a mental... I don't know if I'm supposed to announce that, but it's like a mental health panel with a very famous Detroit native. A couple of them, actually. You need to come here a little bit more often.

We love y'all so much. Mix and mingle with the people. Shout out to everybody in Detroit and Asian Corned Beef. You know they got that limited edition yee roll in Detroit that you can pick up. I got business close to Detroit in Farmington. And shout out to the House of Mary Jane out in Detroit. I love those guys over there. Lorenzo!

Yo, what's going on, CJMV? What's going on? What's up, bro? Get off your chest. Hey, listen, Charlemagne there? I'm right here, sir. Yo, what's going on, Charla? I'm blessed black and highly favored. What's happening? bro? Get off your chest. Hey, listen, Charlemagne there. I'm right here, sir. Yo, what's going on, Charlem? I'm blessed black and highly favored. What's happening?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good morning, YouTube. But listen, I want to know what's going on. Within the past few years, like 10 years, why everybody got so damn sensitive over everything, man? You can't say nothing online. You got to watch it. You say, I be feeling like sometimes you ever heard of that? You be seeing it in movies. When people put it in movies like that cryo sleep. I just feel like doing

something like that. I've been going to sleep for like 10 years to come back and be like, yo, what's going on? Well, everybody's so fake politically correct. You can say whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? You just gotta deal with the consequences of what you said. I think that everybody's so afraid of these social media mobs and being attacked that they be walking tightropes and walking on thin ice because they don't want to be attacked by the mob.

But there's so much access now, too. Before social media, we weren't hearing what everyone had to say about everything. Now everybody's voicing their opinions, and sometimes they're saying things that maybe they regret saying or maybe they're not saying it in the right way. Sometimes they're putting it out there to get overanalyzed by people. They only regret when they get attacked.

That's understandable. That's cool, but you know what I'm saying? Let's say it's Charlamagne. He don't ever pose as kids, but he poses as kids and he does something with his kids. Right away, oh my God, he shouldn't be doing this, this and this and that. Come on. Mind your business.

Yeah, I agree with you. Everybody's doing this, this and this and that. Like, come on. Yo, mind your business. Yeah, I agree with you. Everybody's so sensitive. Everybody's so soft nowadays. But it's just the way society is. Bro, say whatever you want. Who gives a damn? Let the mob attack.

I'm immune to it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Cherie. Hey, get it off your chest, Cherie. Hi, good morning. First and foremost, I just want to say hello to all you guys. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, my gosh, I can to say hello to all you guys. Good morning.

Good morning. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe I got through. I'm shaking. Okay, so I want to first off, I want to shout out to all the teachers. This is our first week back in school. We got here in Georgia. So this is our first week back in school. So shout out to all the teachers.

We got 180 days. Woo, we can make it, y'all. We can make it. So much love to all the teachers out there across the nation, too. Right, right. Okay, awesome. I just turned 29 on Sunday, so I just want to send out a whole bunch of positive blessings to everybody out here who's, you know, just trying to make it through and, you know, just

dealing with everyday life. But we pushing, we making it. It's a blessing to be alive. And I just want to say thank you to you guys. Oh, my God, I'm so shaky. I can't believe I made it through. But I just want to say thank you to you guys

for just, you know, being you guys and just, you know, making our mornings every morning. I listen to y'all every day. So thank you. Thank you.

And thank you to you for helping with the next generation of kids, man. Thank you. I have preschoolers, so it's, whoo, it's a struggle. But we got it.

We got it. So thank you so much, guys. Thank you. Bye. preschoolers, so it's a struggle, but we got it. We got it. So thank you so much, guys. Thank you. Bye. Hello, who's this? How you doing? This is Joel, Joel. What up, man?

Get it off your chest. Is it Joel or Joel? Which one is it? Joel. That's cool. Okay, Joel. What's up? I need to get it off my chest.

I think y'all can help me out. Maybe Charlamagne. First of all, I want to thank y'all for being on the radio every morning. Well, thank you. I appreciate it. And, alright, so this woman's saying that she just wants Trump in El Paso.

And she's saying, Charlamagne, that she's keeping the same energy, that hate energy that's going around. But I want to know, I mean, how is it okay? The first thing after this shooting happened, I mean, I'm on my way to work. You know, I turn the radio on like I do every day. Charlamagne's talking about vanilla ISIS. I mean, I feel

like that's the same energy as well. Are you white? You're a white male? No. Oh, let me ask you a question. I don't understand. That's like asking me after there's a terrorist attack by Muslims getting on the radio and calling the Muslim terrorists out. What's the difference? Because it's white

males? Why do we protect white male domestic terrorists? I don't get it. We don't protect white male domestic terrorists. Okay, then. So you shouldn't be upset that I'm calling them out. You shouldn't be upset that I'm calling them out. They are vanilla ISIS, sir. They are the greatest terrorist threat to America today.

That's a statistical fact. How does it even work? How can you say that, though? That's like saying you just got this guy who was caught by his grandma on the news that she stopped a shooting from a black male. That's like calling him I'm not even going to say it over the radio because

that's not right, man. You do know majority of mass shootings are from white males, right? Yeah, I know that. Okay, then. So there's nothing else to discuss. We're talking facts, my brother. Like, there's nothing else to discuss. I feel you. Facts. But the thing is, Vanilla Isis. I mean, it's cool to say, hey, there's two white dudes who just shot up this thing. Alright, that's

fine, but Vanilla Isis. Nope. Vanilla Isis. That's the name. Nope. That ain't right. That's all. I mean, I'm just saying. Vanilla Isis. That's what we're running with, sir. I'm not sitting here having this conversation with you. Thank you for calling and getting it off your chest, man. Vanilla ISIS.

What, vanilla ISIS is going to hit me up? You threatening me now? No, I said in the future it's going to hit you up. You're going to look back and you're going to say, man, I called you vanilla ISIS. I'm going to look back and I said I called a bunch of evil, murdering, mass shooters a nickname that stuck. And I'm going to be happy with it. You're attaching them to a race. So you're writing off the whole race.

They're white males. What you want me to do? I know they're white males. Yo, I know that, dude. But black people do the same thing. Spanish people do the same thing. Nope, you sure don't. Hey, I'm Spanish, bro.

I'm not white at all. I have no out. You show me the last Spanish guy that's done a mass shooting. Show me three Spanish guys that have done mass shootings in America. What about America? Yo, it's the world, dude. What does America matter, man? What are you talking about?

You sound like you want to join Vanilla Isis. Well, Joel, thank you for calling. Yeah, I want to join. Yo, you're a ridiculous student. What's ridiculous is the way y'all cape for white males. White males don't need no protection from your Spanish ass. They got enough protection. 800-585-1051.

Maybe you feel a little happier. You want to spread some positivity. That got crazy. It really didn't. It's just really sad how we always constantly cape for white males. They are already the most protected, privileged, entitled people in this country. That's why nobody's making a big deal of the mass shootings now. Because of people like Joel

that would jump in front of Massa and say, no, don't talk about Massa like that, please. Well, the shootings are definitely a big deal. I wouldn't say no one's making a big deal out of it.

No, nobody is profiling white males the way that they would if it was a black male, a Latino male, or a Muslim male. Well, guys, we have rumors on the way

and we have a Latino male that's joining us next hour. Yee, what we got in rumors? I think so. I thought he was, didn't he? I don't know. Don't be just because he's light-skinned. I don't know.

Oh, that's right. I thought he was. They do that to you, Envy. You're right. All right, we're going to talk about some TV shows that are being renewed and a brand new show that's coming to FX. It's a documentary series.

All right, and Jason Lee will be joining us this morning. He's from Hollywood Unlocked. Loving hip-hop. We'll kick it with him. Is that the Latino male you speak of? That's what I was. Maybe he's not Latino, but anyway, he'll be here. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Damn blood pressure early this morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors.

Hey, let's talk Young M.A. Young M.A., I'm sorry. Young Miami. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Hey, let's talk Young M.A. Young M.A., I'm sorry. Young Miami. Oh, my gosh. She's still in the team. I was trying to read it. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. It's okay, bro.

On The Breakfast Club. You're old. They all look the same. No, they don't. Young Miami, let's go. I get it. Young M.A. from the City Girls. Let's go.

All right. Well, we told you about Young Miami yesterday and how her G-Wagon was targeted outside of Circle House Studios. She posted, thank you everyone for your expression of sympathy, prayers, and condolences. Me and baby Summer is perfectly fine. Thank you to everyone that reached out to me. I'm okay. Love y'all.

So we're grateful for that. So our love and prayers to Young Miami. So let's start off with that. Next up, Snowfall will be renewed for a fourth season on FX. They're nearly five episodes into its third season. They've already ordered a fourth season of that. Do we want Snowfall back without the input of John Singleton?

Yeah, I'm sure that he would want the show to go on as well. How much did he have to do with the creative of it all and the writing and stuff though? Because a lot of times when you take out the main ingredient from a show the show sucks. Look at the fourth season of the Boondocks with No Air Magruder. Right, well, I guess we'll see. I mean, he did

create the show alongside Eric Amadio and Dave Andron, so maybe with those two people that he created the show with, they'll be able to continue on for another season. Okay. Alright, so Atlanta's been renewed for season four. I feel like we knew that it was renewed, we just didn't know when it's going to happen.

The other thing about it is whether or not he'll be filming that in Georgia, in Atlanta, especially now with the abortion law, the anti-abortion laws in Georgia. So a lot of people are moving their productions out of Georgia because of that. So they're not sure yet what Donald Glover wants to do. But the CEO of FX, John Landgraf, has said

it's completely up to Donald Glover. He said that's Donald's call. We'll see what he has to say about that. Yeah, you kind of have to, though, because you got to keep it authentic to Atlanta, right? I would say. I mean, there's a lot of movies and shows that are not filmed in the place that they're saying they're in. That's what movie sets are for. Yeah, but this show is based off the culture of Atlanta, Atlanta black culture, hip hop culture.

I understand the abortion laws, but you gotta keep it authentic, right? Yeah, maybe he wants to keep it authentic in real life and say, I'm not supporting these laws. So then we're not gonna give any more money to the state of Georgia. So just throw a middle finger to Atlanta and the show's called Atlanta? It's like the shy. You take the shy and it's not in the shy. That would be a little weird.

I mean, they've done movies, New Jersey Drive, and they didn't film that in New Jersey. How about take some of the money? I thought they did parts of it in New Jersey, though. No, they didn't film that in New Jersey. None of it at all? Because I don't think that was good press for the city. I don't think they wanted it about stolen cars in New Jersey to be filmed there. I thought they did part of it there.

How about take some of the money and fund some of these organizations that are protesting against the abortion laws? It's all type of ways to empower. They're not saying they're not doing it. They're just saying whatever Donald Glover wants to do. He hasn't spoken on it yet. So if he doesn't want to film it there because of these anti-abortion laws in Georgia, he may not. All right. And Insecure is coming back, as you all know, for their season four.

Yvonne Orji actually posted a picture of the script from the table read that they're doing in episode 401. She said, and so it begins again, Insecure HBO. I need more of the women interacting on Insecure. I need Issa's character and Yvonne's character and Amanda Seale's character. And what's the other super funny young lady's name? Man, I can't remember her name, but I want all four of them interacting. Like they used to. It gives me the living single girlfriends vibe when they do that.

And they have their little get togethers and parties. I feel like they did that a lot. Remember when they went to the festival and they all did? That was hilarious. Yeah, that was a great episode. All right, now Jay-Z and Will Smith are executive producing an ABC series, and that's going to be telling Emmett Till's story from his mother's perspective. That was actually shelved by HBO for years,

and now Jay-Z and Will Smith are going to executive produce it, and they said it finally has a home. It's been picked up by ABC as part of a civil rights anthology series, Women of the Movement. Dope. So we'll be excited to watch that. All right. Oh, and Tupac and Afeni Shakur, there's a documentary series coming to FX as well.

So these are all some great new things that are happening. How many Tupac stories are they going to tell? On television. So this one is focused on him and his mother, Outlaw, the saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur. It's a five-episode series that's directed by Alan Hughes. About their relationship. Oh, I heard about that yesterday.

That should be called Dear Mama. I heard somebody literally told me about that yesterday. Okay. And PETA is asking the city to investigate the Tonight Show. And that is for improperly allowing celebrities like Kate Beckinsale and Jacob Anderson to play with animals on the broadcast. So they have a problem with this celebrities touching animals and poking an African bullfrog and wildwood of animals. Did they hurt the animals? Not that I know of.

I didn't even actually see. I saw pictures from the episodes. I didn't from the episodes. I didn't see the episodes, but they also talked about a segment where Robert Irwin, who is the son of the late Steve Irwin, handles an alligator, a millipede, a miniature horse, and a mandrill on separate occasions. This has been going on for years. Johnny Carson and those guys used to play with animals

on the Tonight Show. Why are they making an issue about this now? This has literally been going on for years. So they're saying animals suffer every time they're exposed to the chaos of a television set and passed around like props. So they want to make sure that there's some violations. I feel like y'all 50 years too late on this, Peter. All right.

I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes, we are going to be talking about some stores that have now filed for bankruptcy. And this is kind of a legendary store. We saw this coming, though.

All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Where we start, Yee? Let's start with Texas. A Texas police department is apologizing, and that is for their treatment of an African-American man. They actually were mounted on horses, two police officers from the Galveston Police Department, and they had a man who was handcuffed who they were escorting, and it looks like they're holding him with a rope.

It looked like he was on a leash. Yeah, Donald Neely is his name, 43-year-old Donald Neely. He was arrested and charged with criminal trespass, and he was released on Sunday. They said it was extremely embarrassing to do that to this man. They said this is 1918, not 20. This is not 1819. It's 2019.

And that image projected back to 1819 as if those were the fugitive slave hunters and that Donald Neely was a slave being with horse and rope brought down the street. I was surprised he didn't run. How? He's handcuffed. No, no, no. But a guy comes up to you on a horse, a cop on a horse, you're not going to take off running? and rope brought down the street. I'm surprised he didn't run. How? How? He's handcuffed. No, no, no. But a guy comes up to you on a horse,

a cop on a horse, you're not going to take off running? They probably handcuffed him before they got back on the horse. No, but when you see the horses pull up and the cops, you're not going to take off running on a horse? What's the difference between horses and cars? How is that cop...

It's going to take a cop a long time to get off that horse and to get out of that car and to get back on. But it's a cop. Why would he run? Like, I don trying to figure out. He did something against the law.

That's why he would run. So you say he would run regardless of what the mode of transportation for the cop was. Let me explain some more about Donald Neely. So they're saying that he's been homeless for about seven years. Okay. He suffered some bipolar disorder and is not taking medication. And they said police knew that he suffered from a mental illness. And so they said that he has had previous encounters

while living on the streets, so they already knew him and were familiar with him. And so I don't think he probably was about to run away from them. And why are they apologizing after the fact? Just because of the backlash? Yes. Of course. Because that picture looks crazy.

Those cops are grown-ass men who knew what they were doing before they did it. They're just apologizing now because of the backlash. They probably didn't think they were going to get a photo taken of them. Now, Donald Trump will be visiting El Paso today, and he'll also be going to Dayton, Ohio, as well, to meet with the victims of back-to-back shootings. And some people don't want him there.

According to Cassandra Hernandez, she's a city council member that represents the neighborhood where the shooting occurred. Don't come here, Donald Trump. You are not welcome. And several El Paso officials have also urged him not to come and visit. But the mayor of El Paso said that he will meet with Donald Trump. He's a Republican. Mayor DeMarco has no issue with that. I think it's kind of hypocritical to chastise Trump

for telling people they aren't welcome, only to turn around and tell Trump he's not welcome somewhere. I think that they feel like his rhetoric is part of the problem that's been causing all this pain and hurt and killings. that they feel like his rhetoric is part of the problem that's been causing all this pain and hurt and killings. So they feel like, is this rhetoric going to get any better? Even last night he was tweeting about Beto O'Rourke and calling him a fake Hispanic

and all kinds of things. Well, listen, people have said that about Beto O'Rourke before, but I mean, but not now. Like, come on. Whether you said it yesterday or today, you still said it before. All I'm saying is hate begets hate and you shouldn't become what you dislike in others. And I thought the Democrats used to follow Michelle Obama's when they go low, we go high. I don't mind them keeping that same energy towards Trump.

I'm just saying. You also represent the people, and I think some of the people don't feel like right now is the appropriate time for Donald Trump. Because you're representing your district. Compared to somebody that's a racist. People have done nothing compared to somebody that's a racist. He's a racist. If they don't want a man, they don't want a man. Now, the mayor of Dayton said, the mayor of Dayton, Mayor Nan, really said she plans to tell Trump how unhelpful he's been.

And here's what she had to say. Gun reform is definitely an example where nothing's happened. You're going to tell him how unhelpful he's been? Look, I mean, if I'm telling you, I'm going to tell him. What are you going to tell him? Like how unhelpful he's been on this. I mean, yesterday, his comments weren't very helpful to the issue around guns. Because he might go there and say more hateful things. And I don't think that's what people need right now.

Listen, whether he says them in El Paso or says them from the White House, it doesn't matter. You can't ignore the president. And I would rather them be up in his face holding his ass accountable. Period. Just like when you say negative things about Baltimore, take your ass to Baltimore then. Let the people of Baltimore hold you accountable for not sending federal aid or whatever. Hold the president accountable. Nah, don't come here for no press picture.

Nah, I'm with them. If I don't want him here, I don't want him here. You can't ignore the president, brother. He's the president of the United States of America. He tweeted out, 22 people in my hometown are dead after an act of terror inspired by your racism. El Paso will not be quiet and neither will I. Alright, and Barney's is seeking

bankruptcy protection and they're going to close most of their stores. They actually were trying to... They only got like four stores though, right? Five stores? Yeah, and I guess they have the outlet stores too. I don't know if those are going to close. LA, New York, Chicago, I think, San Francisco. Chicago, Vegas and Seattle will close.

And there's 12 concept and warehouse locations as well that are going to be closing. So they're going to keep the ones open in Boston, Beverly Hills, California, San Francisco and the warehouse locations in New York and in Cali. Taking plenty of clothes back to Barney's in my day. Sure have. You're part of the reason.

I don't give a damn. I got gassed up to buy some $1,500 jeans 8, 9 years ago and I took them right back. Felt so goddamn stupid in some $1,500 jeans eight, nine years ago, and I took them right back. Felt so goddamn stupid in those $1,500 jeans for what? Well, part of the issues that they're having in New York is their rent is sky high, and I can definitely believe that. I remember one time that Barney's was having a huge sale around the holidays. I was like, let me go see if I could catch a sale.

And I went there, and I parked in the lot right across the street, and that parking was $76. $76. I was like, whoa. If you'd have parked two blocks down, it'd have been $42. I didn't know. So I was going to get out.

You're complaining about $76 and you're about to go in there and spend three or four grand? No, the point of going to the sale was that you don't spend three or four grand. How much did you think you would have spent? I spent about $1,800 altogether. Exactly.

$1,876. You still spend a lot of money. That's a grip, $1,800. No, it is a lot of money, but I got some great sales and it was a holiday, so I was buying gifts for people. But $ still spend a lot of money. That's a grip, $1,876. No, it is a lot of money, but I got some great sales and it was a holiday, so I was buying gifts for people. But $76 is a lot for parking.

It is. Listen, you know I take the train all the time here because the train is $2.75. Y'all probably didn't know that, but that's how much the train costs in New York because I do not want to pay for parking. That's some high-low spending there.

Taking the train to Barney's to spend $1,800. I definitely would have done that. That's some high-low spending. Trust me. I would have definitely taken the train if I would have known. But did you get robbed on the train after you leave Barney's? Because if I see you on the train to Barney's to spend $1,800. I definitely would have done that. That's some high-low spending. Trust me, I would have definitely taken the train if I would have known. But you get robbed on the train after you leave Barney's. Because if I see you on the train with some Barney's bags, I'm getting you.

Yeah, I'm good. We go to the sample sales. I go on the train with all kinds of bags. He does. I definitely do. He definitely does. All right. All right.

Well, that is front page news. Now, when we come back, Jason Lee will be joining us. Of course, he's from Hollywood Unlocked and Loving Hip Hop LA. So we'll news. Now, when we come back, Jason Lee will be joining us. Of course, he's from Hollywood, Unlocked, and Loving Hip Hop LA. So we'll kick it with him when we come back. So don't move.

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. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. You got money.

From Hollywood Unlocked. You might know him from there. Jason Lee. Welcome, son. Welcome back. Jason got a bag. Yo, and Angela's here. Yeah, I wasn't here when you were here before, but again, thank you, Jason Lee, for actually giving The Breakfast Club an award. Of course. When you had your ceremony, so if you want to tell us what that was all about.

Yeah, so I had told the story at the brunch that I was on MTV and VH1 and applied to go to the MTV Awards and then my f***ers told me I couldn't come. So I was like, how is it that I'm on the network and can't come? So I went and created my own award show, the Hollywood Unlocked Social Impact Brunch. So when we were going

through the list of people who are important to us, of course the Breakfast Club was at the top of the list. So the Breakfast Club got the Culture Award. We just got the name plays back, so we'll be sending that in the mail soon. What's that I Heart Bag though like? First of all, a round of applause to Jason Lee. Congratulations. Four years, he's been building Hollywood Unlocked.

Yeah. And now it's nationally syndicated. Man, look, last time I was here I said this interview was an important part of that journey because I feel like people actually really see you when you're here and What I do when I want to shout Charlamagne because as soon as we walked out He got on the phone and hit the folks up at I heard said hey

We need to figure out some with Jason next day. I was on the call and Here I am nationally syndicated What's that bag like though? The bag is really I don't want to text you and ask you I want to wait to see you This is what I will say. You got a different cologne on I know that much. Yes Versace Hey you and ask you. I wanted to wait to see you. This is what I will say. You got a different cologne on. I know that much. He has Versace. I look at DJ Envy's Instagram. I got goals. I will say, the thing I love about iHeart, you know, white folks pay on time. They called me about the check. They were like,

are you ready for the wire? I'm like, are you? So, yeah, thank you, iHeart. Now tell us about the show, which is a two-hour show, right? Is it a countdown show? Explain to people who don't know what it is. Okay, so Hollywood Unlocked, you know, we say we're the pulse of pop culture. We talk, you know, reckless, interview a lot of the different people that are out there in the business, both on the pop culture side and, you know, white side. But we also talk to, you know, folks who are a part of hip-hop.

So the two-hour show is going to basically be us interviewing people that you know and asking the craziest questions. Like that n***a Antoine Fuqua, I want him right now. The other day he sent me a cease and desist letter. No! Now I'm getting sued more after this interview. Matter of fact, because you asked me if I'm getting sued, now they think it's just a gateway to send me lawsuits. Why did he send you a cease and desist?

Well, you know, Antoine Fuqua, he's in the news because he was out there messing around with his family friend, Nicole Murphy. And so it's a friendly kiss. Yeah. I mean, it was like Jordan Woods sitting on Tristan's lap. That's the thing in Hollywood, right? Charlamagne sitting on Wendy Williams lap. Just just that was years ago. And I can't wait for that reunion. So, yeah, apparently we had dug up some receipts.

I guess he had a kid or something on his wife some time ago, allegedly. So there's these court documents.. So there's these court documents. Yeah. There's these court documents. And so we put it up. And so he doesn't want us to talk about him. But I'm like, if you was just focusing on movies and not cheating on your wife, none of us would be paying attention to you. Black men don't cheat.

Was there any other offers on the table? Any other situations? You don't have to say the names. Well, we had been talking to people. And I think, you know, the fact that iHeart decided to take a risk and first thing I said to them before the wire came was, what do you want me to polish up? Because I'm sure there's some s*** you want me

to clean up. They were like, nah, don't change. If there's any notes, we'll give them to you like we give to Charlamagne. I said, okay, cool. Notes? They ain't never give me no notes. That was a joke. That was a joke. They have never told us, don't say anything, don't have this gas, nothing at all. Yeah.

I wasn't here when you came to the Breakfast Club last time. But is it ever a concern for you when you have relationships with somebody reporting on stories about them? Has that ever been an issue for you? No, like you saw, so I'm back on Love & Hip Hop. I know everybody's like, why did you go back to Love & Hip Hop? I thought you wasn't going to do it. Well, the bag was right. A lot of bags.

It's me about his bag. Well, let me say this. A lot of bags. It's me about his bag. Well, let me say this. The bag was right. Shout out to Mona and Big Fish. They did a great job with that. But also, I like the fact that this season, they actually are shooting real s***. My brother was murdered when I was 19. That was a real important part of my life.

I think it's an important part of people getting to know who I am. So when they approached me and said, we'd love to tell that story, and then the money was right, I was like, of course. So I say that to say, last episode, I had to confront A1 about his cheating on Lyrica Anderson. And yeah, it was uncomfortable, but it is,

I mean, I'm gonna put it up and you're gonna run into me anyway, so I might as well just tell you. You know, I like giving people a heads up like I was here last time talking about Khloe. I give you the heads up so we can put in what you say.

You said it ain't true. Well, what were y'all doing? When's the last time you got threatened for putting something up? I haven't been threatened yet. I absolutely know with this new show

I'm going to get threatened, but here's the deal. Because you'll be out, too. No, I'm out. I will call the police. Let me tell you something. Give him a round of applause. I'm sending y'all...

God, what's the emergency? Come now. Let's be clear. Run up on me if you want to, because that is great content. I can create a video series out of the journey going to take, sending you to jail, suing you, you know.

I'm going to troll you to death, like Lil Nas, him trolling being gay. I said on my Instagram, there's this whole new, there's a new gay level of gay. There's the weekend gay, you know, you're just gay on the weekend. There's the homeless sexual. What did you say? The weekend?

Yeah, I thought you were saying the weekend was gay. Is this a breaking story? Homeless sexual. There's a homeless sexual that needs a place to live so he might, you know, suck his d*** here and there. And then there's the, you know, the totally trolling gay. Like, I'm just gonna troll being gay because being gay is cool

and I'm gonna get my clout up. I don't know what's going on in the industry these days. So, yeah. You think Lil Nas X is really gay? I saw you ranting about that. No, I just called him ugly like 82 times. He ain't really that ugly. I only trolled him because I felt, and he followed us, by the way.

Shout out to you. He's a talented kid. You know what I'm saying? And he is a kid. When you over 18, I would say over 19, it's fair game. How old is he? 19, 20?

Like 21. Yeah, 20, 21. Oh, okay, okay. And that beat Mariah Carey. He can take a blow. Right. No pun intended. And he also was a troll himself.

Yes, he knows the game. He's like Soulja Boy. It is what it is. All right, we got more with Jason Lee. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Th't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Right now, we're still kicking it with Jason Lee from Loving Hip Hop LA and Hollywood Unlocked. Are there people sliding in your DMs?

Since this iHeart deal, yeah. I know somebody in this room thinks you handsome, Jason. Who? Who thinks I'm handsome? I'm going to let you figure it out. I'm a married man. Charlamagne's a married man. I'm going to let you figure it out. He's taken. That is three out. Well, he doesn't count because she's not in the running.

Well, listen, it's not a woman, exactly. Okay, so he doesn't count. Ooh. I'm going to let you figure it out. Listen, keep the- You've made eye contact with him twice. I'm making eye contact with everybody. All right.

Stop f***ing me. Anybody good at your DMs? No, no. I think, you know, after I said the whole Jussie Smollett thing last time, I think people are like, yeah, I'm not f***ing with me. Anybody good at your DMs? No, no. I think, you know, after I said the whole Jussie Smollett thing last time, I think people were like, yeah, I'm not f***ing with him. You ass.

Why you making that man up for what's uncomfortable? But I don't even want... Who you talking about? Him over there? Eddie's married. Eddie's married. You close, though.

Marriage don't mean s***. Well, let me ask you this. If you want, it's a hot potato. Do you like beards? Do I like beards? Like guys with beards. Not beards,

like the guys who... Not guys with beards. Not beards. Not guys that are pretending. Oh, you guys are throwing him under the bus? That's a question. This really came from out of nowhere. There's no context. Listen, I'm an equal opportunist. As long as you have good hygiene and whoever else you f*** went on the side ain't going to be on my Instagram, I'm cool.

That's right. You got good hygiene. There's only two people I've heard him say he got a crush on. It was you and Lizzo. Oh, Lizzo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lizzo out here doing her thing, though. I love Lizzo.

And this is what I understand about the Internet. People are so unfair. Like, I get fat shamed, you know, because I'm not skinny at all. But then Lizzo is praised. Lizzo is praised for being overweight. And she's like, I mean, she's like not even like discreet fat, which is not a bad thing. She just put all my fat out there fat.

Yeah. Yeah, but you know what? She does get body shamed also. She just chooses to be really positive. I love it. In the message that she sends out

because there are definitely people saying negative things. But I think when you put that positivity out there so much, there's going to be a lot more positive patterns. She's my hero. She's actually one of my

favorite people right now. And I love her whole movement. I love how she's embraced it. And I mean, if you attack Lizzo, I think you're just a hater. And you see she goes through it, too. I mean, she's done posts herself where she talks about dealing with her own issues with depression and feeling a certain way. So everyone goes through it when you're in that spotlight. Well, I don't, though, because keep talking about me.

Just keep on talking about me. I actually want to interview Nicki Minaj. You guys have had the privilege of doing that. Is that a fun interview? A few times. Yeah. I haven't seen Nicki in a while. I don't know.

Nicki was fun when she came up here. She cursed me and Ye out one time, but she pretty fun. She's invited on the show. Why do you want to interview Nicki Minaj? I just think it would be fun. She's going to check you first and foremost. That's okay. We'll check each other.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an equal opportunity checking. The Barb's still on your ass? No. The Barb's still on your ass? No. The Barb's have left me alone. The Ariana Grande fans have left me alone. And the Beehive has left me alone. Everybody's leaving me alone.

Everything is good right now. Why was the Beehive bothering you? Because my team, Keisha, Oh, it was on the Roc Nation brunch? You love Beyonce, though. The Roc Nation brunch. They said I was chasing her around the park. That was funny.

I'm not going to lie. I was. A little bit. No, but my team got a picture of Beyonce's twins. Oh, I remember that. And we were like excited. Like, oh my gosh, she finally shared the kiss. I'm like, oh, the kids are so cute. Put it up. And then the next thing I know, Newsweek

is calling and they're like, how did you steal these photos? I'm like, steal these photos? They put them in the house and took pictures. They put online that I was sneaking in their house. First of all, if I get in Beyonce, this is crazy, right? That's what these photos? They went in the house and took pictures. They put online that I was sneaking in their house. First of all, if I get in Beyonce, this is crazy, right?

That's what you did? You got into the house? No, listen. On one week, I'm chasing her around the party. The next week, I'm in her house

taking photos of the kids off the wall. Did you get a cease and desist from anybody? Or Roc Nation? No, but shout out to Yvette Noshore. She called.

She said, baby, I need you to take that down. I go, what happened? She goes, that wasn't authorized. I said, okay, baby, I need you to take that down. I go, what happened? She goes, that wasn't authorized. I said, okay, cool. I took it down. But it's kind of too late then.

It was everywhere. Yeah, everybody then took it from there by then. Not really, because I didn't see it nowhere after Hollywood Unlocked. What? I hit Newsweek up. I was like, and I went off on them, and I thought they would take it down. They just retracted and said, Jason Lee said he wasn't there. So, still there.

Right. Listen, let me ask you something about Beyonce, right? The dude went in who got a crush on you. He said that Beyonce was overrated. Who said that? And then he said Drake

was a bigger star than Beyonce. What did you say? I don't want to wipe your mouth. Currently, the current climate, Drake is a bigger star.

Bigger than what? Than Beyonce. More relevant right now as far as music and putting out product, I would say. So, I'm going to just say this. First of all, the Bible talks about one sin that's not forgivable, and it's blasphemy.

I went to see Beyonce at Coachella, and we enjoyed it. I mean, it was a magnificent performance, homecoming or whatever. We didn't know she was filming a whole album and a movie at the same time. Her work ethic is beyond, like, nobody can question that, right? Drake undoubtedly is one of the best. I'll tell you a quick Drake story about how I got thrown out of this party last time. Come here. Tristan

Thompson, that bitch ass. That's another one I would love to have on my show too. Sorry, I'm having flashbacks. You got Beyonce right now. We're going to talk about all that. Let's talk about who's bigger for drum. Beyonce, period. Drake would say thatorted out in public. We're going to talk about all that. Let's talk about, we'll get back to that, but let's talk about who's bigger. For drum. Beyonce.

Period. Drake would say that though. Don't he have a song called Beyonce? Exactly. Yeah, something like that. Now why did Drake kick her out of the party? For drum, you just don't know what bigger is.

That's all. I do. Hey. Hey. This is the best, this is the best show ever. You don't like what you said? No. No, I'm playing. All right. Wait don't like what you did? No.

Wait, but are you Middle Eastern? No, Puerto Rican. What do you think he did in Puerto Rican guy? No, because this Middle Eastern slid in my DMs last night. I'm going to hit his ass when I get back to L.A. Okay, so what happened? You got Drake now. Okay, no, we off Drake.

Drake is definitely like. No, you got picked at his party. Oh, no, Drake didn't. Shout out to Drake. Drake, I went to a Drake party in London, and he actually, I mean, I think it was uncomfortable that I was there, but he was like, you know, we had a conversation. I've known Drake before he got famous when he, you know, they had no money. And I told him, hey, you can have my phones.

I ain't here to report. I'm just here to have a good time. Fast forward. Sergi Baca, you know. Keri Hudson's ex. It's so messy in here. He won the championship, you know, the Toronto Raptors. So he invited me.

Drake threw them a party, and he invited me. So I was excited. I went out. You know, I got dressed. I get there, and as soon as we walk in, Tristan's at the bar, and I'm like, damn. Now, that was probably the most awkward running because I ain't seen him since, you know, he cheated on his baby mama's sister. And you broke the story. Oh, absolutely.

Black men don't cheat. Tristan's Canadian, though, so you don't count. Yeah, okay, so that a**hole was standing at the bar, and then my phone rang, so I go, okay, I'll be right back. So I get the phone. I go to walk outside to talk on the phone because I'm meeting somebody else, and they kind of, you know how somebody just kind of,

like, you feel an arm behind you, but like an usher in church? They were just ushering me out the door. So I said, hold on a minute. I said, what's going on? So they said, oh, man, you know, this is a private party. We're going to have to ask you to leave. So people outside are like, hey, Jace, can you get me in? I'm like, how can I get you in?

I'm getting kicked out. I ain't never been kicked out, so I left and Serge and them were like, come back, we'll get you back in. But yeah, he had me escorted out. I didn't know him and Drake were good friends like that. Now, in an awkward situation where you see Tristan Thompson at an event, would you have said hello before you, if you didn't get kicked out? Would you go up and be like, how you doing?

I would have gone up to him and said, hey, Tristan. What's up, man? I would love to interview you. No shame. No shame. And you had no security? That day I didn't. I mean, listen, I don't think that you can be taken serious as a commentator,

radio personality, moderator until you get punched in the face. Especially if you spicy. If you spicy and you got a Strong POV I think you gotta get Punched in the face It's happened I've been punched twice Have you? Yes

Joe Budden's been punched Like you gotta get punched Jim Rome Remember Jim Rome Wait so I'm gonna get punched Probably Wendy Williams Never got punched

Did she? She got ran up on But she didn't get punched Yo I've been hanging with Wendy man Well Angie Martinez She got punched No she punched Wendy

She did You never read Angie book? No Oh you gotta read Angie book Yeah they got into a We got punched Really? I she punched Wendy. She did? You never read Angie's book? No. Oh, you gotta read Angie's book. We got into a fist-in-the-cuffs. Really? I've been hanging with Wendy lately. Man, I wish I could've saw y'all back together.

I mean, just together. I'm waiting for her to come here or you to go there. At some point, we just need to see that. Well, you know her ex-husband is back working with her as her business manager. No, no, no, it's not. No, Wendy is living her... I'm not gonna tell her business because, you know, I have an agreement that whatever we all do on private time is private, but I will say Wendy is out here living her life, and she's...

Not back together, but business manager. No, it's not true. I don't think so. Well, we look forward to hearing this show that premieres August 17th. Drum, you need parting words? What's wrong with you, bro? I ain't dated a Puerto Rican in a long time either. I'm not gay.

My ex wasn't. He ain't after you. My ex wasn't gay. That wasn't a concern. My ex wasn't gay. He didn't ask you if you were gay. That wasn't a concern. My ex wasn't gay. He didn't ask you if your ex wasn't gay. It's not about being gay. It's about catching a vibe. Exactly.

And you guys, we're not here to out people like we said earlier. Catching a vibe. You're definitely catching that vibe. We're not here to out people, so don't do that. You said what?

We're not here to out people, so don't do that. No, he just said that Jason was handsome. He said he was a nice guy. It's okay. We can continue this. I hope you get your Antoine Fuqua interview. Yeah, yeah.

I'm coming for you. What do you drink? What? Water. That's right. Here you go. Hey! Whatever you need, tribe.

He got it. It's Jason Lee. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey, good morning. How we feeling? I'm happy we were able to make a slight love connection this morning between iHeart's Jason Lee and iHeart's DJ Dramos. That's right. DJ Dramos has been very kinky this morning. Very kinky. I'm laying here doing my push-ups, watching something on my monitor.

Your monitor. Actually, you weren't doing push-ups. You were just laying on your stomach on the floor. I just finished my set of push-ups. As I was walking out of the door, I noticed DJ Dramos have a little twinkle in his eye. He was side-eyeing your ass with his phone. He was staring at my ass, and he was taking pictures of my ass. Kind of strange.

Kind of strange. Kind of strange. Now, let me ask you this. and he was taking pictures of my ass. Kind of strange. Kind of strange. Kind of strange. Now, let me ask you this. If I was a woman, and he was doing this, what would happen then? You could go to Human Resources. So I can go to Human Resources now?

I mean, you could, but they'd laugh at you. You guys are really harassing Dramos. Why? He's minding his business. No, no, no, no. We're defending ourselves. Yes, we are defending ourselves. I was minding my business. That's the problem, E,

when men speak up against the harassment we face in the workplace, you laugh at us. You're right. You know what I'm saying? We would never laugh at you if that was the case. Never laugh at you. I'm not laughing at all. I watched this man taking pictures of my guy's ass. All right?

You got it? Okay. Yeah. You ain't never seen me take pictures of his ass, Trump. That is true. Did you or did you not try to take pictures of DJ Envy's ass, Trump? Answer the question. No, I did not.

What were you taking pictures of then? I was taking pictures of a grown man laying on the ground over here. Oh, wow. I thought you were doing push-ups. I was. Wow. I was. If I was at the gym doing squats, you'd take a picture.

That's harassment. What's the difference? You're kinky, man. What do you plan to do with them pictures later, Drum? What? You don't want me. What do you plan to do with those pictures later? On Instagram,? Don't want me. What are you planning to do with those pictures later?

On Instagram, that's it. Wow. So now you take my personal pictures and objectify you for the world to see. You want to just objectify him

for the world to see, Drum? This is disgusting. It's disgusting. Give me another hand. Do you guys remember this? Envy, I will kiss you in the mouth right now. Okay, so we turned you on.

You want to be part of you want to join the party. Clearly. That's all I hear. The only reason you could be reminding us of that is because you want to join the party. All right. Well, we have you on. You want to be part of it. You want to join the party, clearly. That's all I hear. The only reason you could be reminding us of that is because you want to join the party. All right. Well, yeah, we have rumors on the way.

Lera, let's talk about sometimes going too far. Yeah. We'll tell you what Artis says. All right. He says sometimes his activity went too far. And that's why my son says we're sus up here. He says, Charlamagne, now you're going to say DJ Drama. You're sus too.

All right. I'm not in it. All right, Breakfast Club. Rumors up next, y'all. Hey. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Yeah, that's us. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Lil Nas X. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report.

Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Lil Nas X has admitted that his past online activity would sometimes go too far. I think we all know that. He was in Paper Magazine and the writer, Stephanie Smith Strickland,

asked him about his now defunct at Nas Mirage Twitter account where he would be trolling people. He said, now, I do try to stay positive online. I'll ask myself, is this going to offend somebody before I do it? A lot of the stuff I used to do years before would sometimes go too far. I know I have a platform now, so there's more of a need to make sure nothing is hurtful

or too crazy, even dealing with mean people. I can do it because I understand them. I used to sometimes say mean-ish for no reason. I know that when people say things, they're just thoughts that might be there today but I'm going to care about tomorrow. What am I even gaining from acknowledging it? I told you, I heard he was

I guess a barb. He used to go at people crazy. Ain't nothing more vicious online than the barbs. Let me see if I ever blocked him. Can I tell? Even though the page isn't up there anymore. But he talks about a lot of other things. He talks about his belief in signs and the number and numbers and numerology and all of that.

And he talked about he was going to originally at L.A. Pride from 2-7 to the night go out. And he said, well, there goes those numbers again. And so the nine became the number for his family because his sister ended up having her baby on the ninth, so he believes in all of that. Do you guys believe in lucky numbers? Absolutely. Nine is the highest level of change. Everything must go from knowledge to born in order to be,

so yes, I do believe in that. So he can't say nothing about anybody harassing him or going at him as much as he did, right? Well, at least he understands it. No, I can't understand it. I'm sure he heard a lot of people's failings. I'm sure he heard a lot of people. No, I'm saying at least he can understand it now, though.

Like now he says he knows why people do the things he did. He said sometimes he would just say things just to say them. Yeah, and also, you know, he's, what, 19, 20, 21 years old. I don't know how old he is, but he grew up in this culture of social media where the truth to the matter is being vicious, being angry, slandering people. That was just as part of the culture of social media. Eek. All right, now let's talk about American Crime Story Season

3. It's going to focus on Bill Clinton's impeachment. And guess who's producing it on FX? Who? Monica Lewinsky. You guys here for it? They just put her name on there to get more people involved. I guess you should let her executive

produce it. I mean, she was at the you know, she is a star that's candle. Mm-hmm. You know? Yeah, that's just, you know, she said people have been co-opting and telling my part in this story for decades. In fact, it wasn't until the past few years that I've been able to fully reclaim my narrative. What if we find out it wasn't even a blowjob? It was like a handjob.

You can't say that. You can't say either one of those. Oh, God, we have rules and regulations. You just can't say anything. And you're aware of that. What's wrong with you? I'm just saying, what if we find out it wasn't really fellatio? It was just a hand job or something.

Like, that would change the whole... Stop. What? You can't say that either, man. What's wrong with you, man? You can't say both of those things. You can't. What's wrong with you?

You can't say H-J. No, you cannot. Okay, well, what if it was fellatio? You can say... What if we find out... Please, there's no more. What if we find out... There's no more, don't.atio? What if we find out it wasn't fellatio, but it was just

Rub and Tug. Boom. You know what I'm saying? That would change Don't look around. You can say Rub and Tug. That would change the dynamics of 30 years of content. But you can say it. No, I don't know if you can. Yes, you can. I ain't see that in an employee. Yeah, me neither.

Have you guys read it? Or you just click yes, yes can. Well, I ain't see that in an employee handbook. Yeah, me neither. Have you guys read it? Or you just click yes, yes, yes, yes, yes? I said next story. They need to make a Breakfast Club handbook for future generations. You guys are crazy.

There's a lot of things I weren't aware you couldn't say. All right, let's talk about one of the greatest rappers of all time, Wale. Wale tweeted out, I'm one of the greatest rappers of all time.

There, I said it. That's right. He said, everybody go listen to my single, though. I'm talking big because I'm doing big-ish with the love, though. And, I said it. That's right. He said, everybody go listen to my single, though I'm talking big because I'm doing big-ish with the love, though. And then he said,

who can do golden salvation bricks and then jump on no hands seamlessly? Me, that's who. Go listen, Black Heroes, and let's talk some more. Some people will act like Bonnie never happened. It's fine, though.

Sad, but it's fine. We'll go there another day because I ain't going to stop making songs like that. It's amazing to me that, you know, more artists don't realize you have to be your own hype man. Like, you've got to be making songs like that. It's amazing to me that, you know, more artists don't realize you have to be your own hype man. Like, you

got to be your biggest cheerleader. Like, think about T.I. when he started calling himself the King of the South. Then everybody else started calling himself the King of the South. When Lil Wayne said he's the greatest rapper alive, everybody else started saying it. Like, sometimes you got to own it. Yeah. Wally is a really great rapper, too. Listen, when he said it, I'm like, I don't see any reason

why he can't be in the conversation. He didn't say I'm the greatest rapper of all time. He said it, I'm like, I don't see any reason why he can't be in the conversation. He didn't say I'm the greatest rapper of all time. He said I'm one of them. I don't see why. Is that a great? I'm one of them. Why shouldn't he be in the conversation? And there's all these lists that have been circulating.

Stupid. I know. I don't even understand where all of this came from. Stupid. That everybody's making their own type of list. I don't understand why everybody started talking about the original list that started circulating. I don't even know the source of that list.

Nobody knows the source of that list. Like, why would you do, what's the credibility behind that list? I thought it came from a podcast. I don't know. Everybody keeps saying that, but what podcast?

No, I don't know. No. I just thought that Joe Button was number three. And that's when you should stop. That's when you, as soon as you see that, as soon as you see that,

you shouldn't even debate it. I'm not saying that Joe Button isn't one of the greatest rappers of all time, because he is, but number three, stop it. Stop. Joe don't even debate it. I'm not saying that Joe Budden isn't one of the greatest rappers of all time, because he is, but number three, stop it. Stop.

Joe don't even believe that. Or maybe he does. Joe probably believes that. He probably thinks number one. You love a list, though. I don't even know who does these lists. They put these lists out and everybody argues, but who puts these lists out? Evan, you made it onto some list as well.

It was a DJ list, but who put the DJ list out? Like, come on. You know who put that out. Come on. Come on, let's be honest. Let's be serious. I'm not. If you were number one, I bet that list would be legitimate. Like, come on. You know who put that out. Come on. Come on. Let's be honest. Let's be serious. I'm not. If you were number one, I bet that list would be legitimate.

I am number one. No, I'm saying on that list. Oh. I don't know who did that list. You should make your own list. Put yourself number one. That's whack. Go ahead and say it.

I'm the greatest DJ of all time. I ain't got to say it. Say it. Okay, no. Say it. Nobody knows. Everybody knows. No, I don't know.

Say it. Everybody knows. Can we stop, please? Everybody knows. All right. Say I'm one of the greatest DJs of all time. I ain't got to say it. Come on.

Put it out there, Envy. They know. I ain't got to say it. They know. Now, one of them. You can say one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Say I'm one of the greatest DJs of all time. Come on, put it out there, Envy. They know. Now, one of them. You can say one. Yeah, you can say one of them. Say one of them. Say it. No, I ain't got to say it.

They know. Who's they? Who's they? Everybody. And what do we know? You said it. You don't even DJ no more. I do.

You sell houses. You DJ yes. You just want me to just play basketball? I do a bunch of things. I DJ. We got Flippin' NJ and Flippin' DJ. I'm into real estate. I do a podcast. Listen, Envy, I agree that you're more than a DJ. But you have to DJ. I have a soda company.

I have a lot going on. Why are you getting mad now? Your name is DJ Envy. Your name is DJ Envy. I have a clothing line. What do I got to do with DJing? I DJ about 3-4 times a week And venues that hold a lot of people Say it, say it, millions

You're there, but are you actually DJing? I am And when Envy does his mix, how many markets does that mix go out to every morning? I don't have to brag You just bragged for 2 minutes Shut up I'm not bragging, Boze. Come on, guys. It's not about that. All jokes aside, I'm going to tell you something.

I was thinking about this last night. It's about pulling the next man up. A little rub and tug. You know who we don't give enough credit to? All jokes aside, you know who we don't give enough credit to? Who? Speaking of rub and tug, DJ Klu. We really don't. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Rumors are over. I may as well tell you that was your

rumor report. We don't give enough credit to DJ Khalil. Who doesn't? People in general. He was on the list. I do. All the time. But that's your OG though. Correct.

Yeah. That's different. I'm talking about the culture. Bye guys. All right. Well, that's your rumor report. Speaking of rubbing tugs, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? That was a weird transition.

It was a weird transition. We'll talk about it four hours later. I have to get my tug, Charlemagne. Who are you giving that donkey to? That was a weird transition. It was a weird transition. We'll talk about it four hours later. I have to get my thoughts together. All right. That'll happen next. Keep it locked. 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.

Why can't I trade 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.

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.

with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey.

Donkey of the Day. a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey, he's donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, August 7th, goes to the NCAA for their new NCAA new agent regulations rules. Now, let's be clear, the NCAA is trash. All right, people have to start calling it what it is. They're the biggest stick-up artists, robbers, thieves on the planet. The NCAA are nothing but bloodsuckers.

You're talking about an organization that makes billions of dollars and student-athletes get none. I honestly don't understand. I don't understand why any top student-athlete that has the option to go to the pros out of high school goes to college. But whatever.

I would rather them go play overseas if they aren't going to be a top draft pick. You know, develop their game, come to the pros out of high school, goes to college, but whatever. I would rather them go play overseas if they're not going to be a top draft pick, develop their game, come to the NBA later. Now, there is no question that the hottest agency in the NBA right now was Rich Paul and Clutch Sports Management. Drop one of the coolest bombs for Rich Paul and Clutch Sports Management. I mean, let's look at some of the people on the roster. John Wall, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Tristan Thompson,

Draymond Green, Ben Simmons, Miles Bridges. I mean, the guy's got damn near everyone. And not only that, he has power. He has shifted the landscape of the NBA this summer by getting his client, Anthony Davis, traded to the Lakers to play with his other client, LeBron James. And truthfully, I don't know why any athlete, especially black athletes, would sign to any other agency.

Rich Paul is up to coaching. No disrespect to these other agents with less melanin, but you don't know my people like I know my people. You don't know my culture. All the struggles we face like I know my culture and the struggles we face. Rich Paul has been there to help develop the greatest basketball brand of the last 16 years, LeBron James.

Sports Illustrated put Rich Paul on the cover and said, and I quote, the most polarizing figure in the NBA is not any player, any owner, any exec, or even LeBron James. It's Rich Paul. Jesus Christ. You know the saying, no one man should have all that power? No.

No one black man should have all that power. So the NCAA is trying to find a way to strip some of that power from Rich Paul. Now I'm going to let this guy Chris Smoove. Chris Smoove is from, let me look, let me cite my sources. Oh, he's a YouTuber. All right. All right. Chris Smoove explains to the people what the NCAA did to script some of Rich Paul's power.

Let me hear it. Rich Paul, the agent of many NBA players such as LeBron himself, Anthony Davis, John Wall, Draymond Green, just to name a few, Ben Simmons. The NCAA is now going to require the following criteria in order to represent future student athletes that are testing the waters for the NBA draft. Number one, you need a bachelor's degree. And that right there is why everybody is calling this the Rich Paul rule because Rich Paul never went to college. So the second requirement is that you have to be certified with the MBPA for a minimum of three years. And then the final requirement is that you have to take

an in-person exam at the NCAA office, which is in Indianapolis. So they want you to prove that you know what you know and you're really qualified and you really went to college by taking their test. Wow. Let me note, a number of NBPA-certified agents will fail to meet the criteria, but let's be clear. They're casting a wide net to really try to catch one big fish,

and that's Rich Paul. All right, Rich did not earn a bachelor's degree. He met LeBron in high school. They developed a friendship. That's what caused him to form Clutch Sports Group. Rich never went to college. And other NBPA-PA certified agents will fail the requirement that they must be licensed by the NPBA for three years. They probably won't pass the standardized test.

But listen, the moral of the story is the NCAA is doing this because if athletes with college eligibility start signing with Rich Paul, Rich Paul will wake them up to the fact that the NCAA is asking them to be indentured servants who will go and make them billions while they get absolutely nothing all right Rich Paul on the other hand is creating ways for his clients to bypass college make some revenue and then return to the NBA look what he did for Darius uh he's Basley Basley I don't know how to pronounce it I thought it was but let's go back to Chris move to explain this one listen to this Rich Paul he had everybody shook last year when he was able to convince Darius Baisley, a top prospect, to forego college to instead take a $1 million internship to work for New Balance. He was drafted 23rd to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

So he made it to the NBA. He didn't go to college and he made a million instead of going to college and playing for free. See, you can't make those kind of moves without guidance and information. Rich Paul has the guidance and information, the tools that you won't get from other people. The NCAA doesn't care about you. They care about their bottom line, which is money. They want those top amateur athletes to come to school so they can keep making their money, period. What's happening to Rich Paul right now, to me, is no different than the long history of government policies

that facilitated wealth for white Americans, but not for blacks. I know, I know, this NCAA policy affects everyone, but let's be clear, this is all an attempt to stop the momentum that Clutch Sports Group is gaining in this business. Trust me, this system has a way of facilitating wealth for itself, specifically white people, but not for black people.

What you want to discuss is the Land Act of 1785, you want to discuss the 1866 Homestead Act, but you want to talk about redlining, you want to talk about the GI Bill, 1785. You want to discuss the 1866 Homestead Act, what you want to talk about redlining. You want to talk about the GI Bill, where the federal government invested heavily in the greatest growth of white asset-based American middle class, like to the exclusion of blacks. Like, this is bigger than Nino Brown, people.

All right? Read what some of the other NBA players had to say. David Aldridge says, good Lord, y'all scared of Rich Paul. Matt Bond said, white agents are mad. Rich Paul is changing the game. Respect my brother. LeBron James says, can't stop y'all scared of Rich Paul. Matt Barnes said, white agents are mad. Rich Paul is changing the game. Respect my brother. LeBron James says, can't stop, won't stop. They big mad and scared. Nothing will

stop this movement and culture over here. Sorry, not sorry. I tend to agree with all of them and I agree with Chris Paul when he says, I completely disagree with the NCAA's decision. Some life experiences are valuable, if not more than diplomas. Y'all need to rethink this process. I personally feel like this about several industries, including radio,

because those special people, those outliers, those game changers, they usually didn't go to college. I know a lot of people who didn't go to college in radio. I didn't go to college, but I was blessed with an internship, and I made the most of it, same way Rich Paul did. NCAA, instead of trying to block Rich Paul on behalf of other agents, you should be trying to connect with him. So should the other agents because he is

factually one of the most successful agents in NBA history in a short period of time. Find out why they trust Rich Paul and value his opinion because you'll never have and be what Rich Paul is because Rich Paul is black. And being black is something you can't teach. It's something

you must be born and blessed with. And it kills the NCAA and other agents that this is something they will never be. Just another example of them loving our culture but not loving us. Please give the NCAA the biggest e-hall. E-hall.

E-hall. Keep cooking, Rich Paul. Thank you for that, Duncan. Today, up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, hit Yee right now. She'll help you with your problems. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got Tony on the line. Tony, good morning. What's going on, y'all? Hey, what's up, man? What's your question for Yee? Hey, Yee, so before I became an elusive member of the Black Man No Cheat Club. That's right, baby. Prior to all that, I messed up when I cheated with my girl.

Whoa. You can't remember. Well, there goes that. Hey, but this is prior to. You know what I'm saying? I got new inspiration now. Okay. But before then, I cheated and messed up.

But now my girl feels that I shouldn't have any female friends. Now, I feel it with new female friends, but she doesn't mean any. I mean prior, old, whoever they are, she don't want me to have anything. How do I go about handling that? You want to be with her, right? Of course. You got caught cheating. You're trying to prove something, right?

Of course. Well, I think when you're trying to prove something, and I'm sure the guys in the room can attest to this, you kind of got to do whatever your girl wants you to do. For the time being, because she's now feeling insecure. She's not sure about things. So if that means that you have to back off from certain friendships that you had prior to her, for now, you might have to do that. Now, as you guys get into a better space, maybe you can ease back into having those friendships,

and she'll be okay with that, especially if those friendships were genuine. I had a friend who cheated on his girlfriend. And they ended up, you know, breaking up. But then they got back together. And his girlfriend did not like me. She did not want him around me. And you know what I did as a friend to him? I said, that's cool, though.

That's important to you. That's your relationship. I don't want to cause any problems. A real friend will understand that and back the F up. And that's exactly what I did. Now, their relationship didn't end up lasting. And of course, we're still friends to this day. But all I'm saying is he had to do what was necessary

and your friend should understand that. Now, hopefully, if those women are your friends, they also will end up being friends with your girl because that's important too. But for now, as you're trying to win her back, and that's really something you want to go hard for, even if it's not certain things that you don't agree with that she might want you to do, you kind of got to do it.

That's right. We don't negotiate with terrorists, and your wife is looking at you like a terrorist. You do what she tells you to do, including but not limited to a finger in your ass. Okay, you went too far. Don't debate me. Don't debate me.

Don't debate me. Yeah, and listen, sometimes it's a long road to get that trust back because it takes a long time to build back trust when it's broken, but you have to be in it for the long haul if that's really what you want. But is there an extreme point and is there too long of a timetable? No!

Are you listening? Are you willing to do anything? Because, listen, there could be a breaking point for you where you're like, you know what? I can't do this anymore. I'm out. You have to determine that. Facts. Okay. Too easy.

All right. Well, good luck. I hope you make it happen. Black man don't cheat. That's right, baby. All right. Anymore. Ask Yee.

800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.

How you doing, Butterfly? What do you want for Ask Yee this morning? Yes, I'm not doing too well because I got in trouble at the job. And I've been off for like a month now. And I want my job back. But I don't know how to talk to my boss because he, every time you see me go, Butterfly, get out my face. That's not good.

I want my job back. So what happened at work? Are you fired? Well, I think I'm on probation. So what happened? He gave me some food. I went to take a lunch break. He gave me my meatloaf,

everything I like, and I went to the back of the store and ate and fell asleep. When I came back, he said, oh, I what? I said, no, it was like 30 minutes. He said, oh, we just got into this argument. When I open my mouth,

it go crazy. Butterfly, couple things here. You did fall asleep. Yes, I did. I did. I swear to God, God. So that was wrong. You can't fall asleep at work, right did. I did. I swear to God, God. So that was wrong. You can't fall asleep at work, right? I know. You got to take responsibility sometimes and just say, you know what?

I'm sorry I was wrong. Okay, I'm sorry I was wrong. Not to me. I don't know if I could tell him. You have to tell him that because you can't argue with somebody when you did wrong. Okay. I didn't want to argue with him. He just asked me a question,

but he was like so angry at the moment. Like, yo, yo, yo. I'm like, oh God, that makes me scared. Were you scared? Because you said all kinds of things was coming out your mouth. Yeah, because I started getting hype. I was like, no, it was 30 minutes.

He's like, it was an hour. I was like, uh-oh, I'm in trouble. Right. All you got to do is be like, you know what? I apologize. I did fall asleep. I'm exhausted. The meatloaf was banging.

And it won't happen again. I love it. It was banging. Go get your job back, Butterfly. I didn't eat all day. All right, go get your job back. Okay, good. So I'm going to tell him that.

Now, Butterfly. Yes, I love you, Charlamagne. I heard you was feeling Steve. I love you too, Beasley. Hi, Envy. Say it again. I heard you was feeling Steve. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Let's talk about this. Let me tell you this. Okay. Just by hearing the way he talk, we can get together. Yes, yes. All you have to do, because I don't have an Instagram or a phone because I'm using my own girl phone, only thing Steve has to do is come to Rochdale Chicken and Fish and ask for Butterfly.

Yes, yes, yes. You don't even work there right now, Butterfly. You got fired from Rochdale Chicken and Fish? Yeah, I still go there trying to get my job back. Okay. Slew to all my people in Rochdale, Queens, the Evans family, Dr. Robert Evans, what's happening? You know what I'm saying? DJ Bless, what's going on?

This sounds like a winner for you, Steve. Big Joe. Big Joe. And shout out to your homegirl who's in and you use her phone. You want me to reach out to them over there at Rochdale Chicken and Fish? You know those are my homies, Diddy and them. You know those are my homies. Shout out for show Diddy running the city.

DJ Starks. Yo, Princess, what's up? Yo, Diddy and Starks, if you're out there listening, you better hire Butterfly back, man. And you should bring Steve up there, Envy. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. All right, I'm going to bring Steve so you can holler at him. Good looking, God.

Good looking, please, Baszler. You be cool out here in these streets. All right, that was Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, we'll tell you who has a huge deal in the works, and that's going to be with Disney, and he's a friend to the show.

All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On your breakfast club.

So listen up. Yes, I spoke about Meek Mill's potential retrial. That case has been moved to later this month. Now, Meek Mill said, I want to thank all of my supporters and the Philly media for coming out to my hearing. Although I wanted to personally address you this morning, my attorneys advised me not to comment about my case at this time. So they're very optimistic about the outcome of this newly scheduled date.

It's going to be August 27th. So, you know, he's been on parole forever. They're really prolonging this thing. Let Meek Mill off probation already. What are they prolonging this thing for? I think he is off. I thought he was off probation. He's just getting a retrial for this old case from back in 2000.

Yeah, because he dropped his stuff here. His probation should be over. Congratulations. So they're just trying to dismiss the case altogether. Yes, that's what is probably likely going to happen. All right, Jesse Smollett, since we're talking about different cases, he says the city of Chicago is just trying to get some money out of him. You know they want $130,000 minimum just in overtime

for the work that they did on his case that they feel was a false, fraudulent case. Now he's saying, not that he's saying that it was fraudulent, but he's saying even if it was, there's no way he could have foreseen the amount of money that they would be spending in Chicago, the police department, on that case. So there's no reason he should have to pay for that.

So he wants the whole entire suit that the police department has against him tossed out. Alright, CNN. They might be doing an all-black panel show. So what they're trying to do is hire some CNN contributors like April Ryan, Andrew Gillum, Angela Ryan, Bakari Sellers

as panelists for a brand new show. I think that'll be dope. They're supposed to be fast-tracking this, so hopefully that does go down. That's a good reason to watch. Yeah, that's because they've been killing because they was filling in on that show, New Day, on CNN. So they used them a few times last

week. At the Democratic debates. Yeah. And it generated so much attention on social media and people just talking about it. I think CNN should do it. I think it's a no-brainer if you ask me. Right. They're saying it could be a show on the weekends that would rival MSNBC's programming they have on Joy Marie. I don't respect that. They have Reverend Al Sharpton.

I don't respect that. They love to throw the black people on the weekends. Nope. Put them on primetime. Let them do the morning show. Let them be in the middle of the day. Like, don't just throw them away on the weekends. And speaking of deals, Ryan Seacrest.

He looks like he's going to be doing a very massive Disney deal. Now, they did a press release for Disney they announced a host new season of American Idol Ryan Seacrest wasn't mentioned but what they're

saying is he's supposedly doing an even bigger deal with Disney he's supposed to be returning as a host for the third season of American

Idol and they're saying he's also talking about a huge contract that goes beyond that and also beyond live with Kelly and Ryan so it's everything he's doing now but a massive production deal for new TV shows.

All of that will be produced through his production company. He's winning out there, boy. Ryan Seacrest has been winning for a long time. Yes, sir. You know, he got about $15 million from Disney with his current contract. They're saying this new one is going to be even bigger than that. All right. Now let's talk about this cucumber party

that Trouble had in Atlanta. He's responding to a lot of criticism that he got, and he's also defending his new girlfriend, Alexis Sky. He said, y'all deep in your feelings about what these grown women doing with cucumbers, I see. Y'all hoes on hoe ass N-words who hatin' with faint if you seen the footage of what your mama was doing Freak Nick days at Memorial Weekend in Miami in 98, 99.

He's absolutely right. Why you think so many of y'all never met your daddy? Wow. He's absolutely right. Some of that is true. Some of it. All of it. Some of that is true.

Been to all those events. Okay, my mom never went to any of those things. I just want to say. Your mama's older, though. I'm talking about people our age. Yes. Absolutely. People our age got 20-something-year-old kids, 18-year-old kids,

and they was absolutely At Freaknik They was at Myrtle Beach Bike weekend You know what I'm saying They was in Florida At the Classic They was in Uncle Luke videos

They was in Little John And Yang Yang 20 videos Virginia Beach Yes Okay all those things you named I never been to any of them You never been to none of that stuff None of them

Not even Philly Creek The only thing Or Jones Beach I think I went to Jones Beach once And I was only there for like A half an hour I didn't do anything. I just went with my girls.

It was not going on Yes The tunnel You went to the tunnel early, early Oh yeah, I was in the tunnel every week See I wonder why vegans don't complain About the cucumber challenge You would think that

Like how PETA complains About like animals and ferns Wasting cucumbers All them wasted vegetables Why don't PETA Why don't PETA Who are the vegans Well, nobody said they're throwing them out

All right, well, up next is the People's Choice Mix. Get your request in right now. Revolt will see you tomorrow. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now, we got a shout-out to our DJ, Dramos' boo, Jason Lee, for joining us this morning. I love making love connections in iHeart. You know what I'm saying? We call that heart-to-heart. He just got this. Heart-to-heart. When we hook up an iHe making love connections in iHeart. You know what I'm saying? We call that heart-to-heart. He just got this. Heart-to-heart. When we hook up

an iHeart employee with another iHeart employee, we call those heart-to-hearts. Okay? You know what I mean? He touched your heart, drum. You know what I mean? Hey, man,

you know, I've been thinking about this Rich Paul thing too, right? What's that? Like, it's really crazy because imagine if they... Because a lot of people might not know.

Well, the NCAA has this thing that they're not calling it the Rich Paul rule. People are calling it the Rich Paul rule. And basically, they're saying that you have to have a bachelor's degree in order to represent ballplayers in college. I don't know, some nonsense. But I'm just saying, like, imagine if they shut people out for not having bachelor's degrees in other industries. Like, Steve Jobs didn't have a degree.

Bill Gates didn't have a degree. Mark Zuckerberg. All these white people that people worship didn't have degrees. All right. You know Ellen DeGeneres don't have a degree. Mark Zuckerberg. All these white people that people worship didn't have degrees. All right. You know Ellen DeGeneres don't have no degree? Nope. Like, there's so many people in so many fields with no college degree, so that should let you know something.

Warren Buffett even said that he feels like college is a waste of time. I'm not saying that it's a waste of time, even though I didn't go. I'm just saying that if you take away the ability of someone to not be creative, if you take away somebody's ability to not be creative just because they don't have a degree, you're going to lose out on a lot of game changes. That's all I'm saying. So I just think that's very weird. And how does that affect Roc Nation's sports agency?

Because Holden don't got no degree. So he's in the same boat as Rich Paul. I don't think that what they're trying to pass is going to go through. It already went through. It is? Yes. They already went through. They're saying that these guys could sue. Yeah, they're going to fight that and sue. There's no way it's going to pass. It already went through. It is? Yes. They already went through. They're saying that these guys could sue.

Yeah, they're going to fight that and sue. There's no way it's going to hold. It's weird. I mean, all it is is just really pushing minorities out. That's what it seems like they're trying to do. It's weird. Yeah, it's like I said earlier. It's like redlining or it's like housing inequality.

This is just another way for them to keep black people from getting rich. Well, hopefully he has a lot of great people on his side. He did do that deal with UTA. They have a whole partnership. And so I'm hoping that there's a lot of people that have Rich Paul's back. Right. Yeah, because to me, this is just another, you know, this is more in the long history of government policies

that facilitate wealth for white Americans and not for blacks. That's just my personal take on it. Alright, well, when we come back, positive note, don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Alright, you guys have a great day. Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes, man.

I want to tell all of y'all out there that's busting y'all ass to make something happen, please understand that life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best. So keep trying. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'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. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
