We in the mother... We in the... That's Chris Brown. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:49 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Never has a song about popping pills sounded so sexy. But Newsflash, kids, it's not. Okay, nothing sexy about being addicted to prescription drugs. Nothing at all. And the name of that song is Pills and Automobiles. All right, let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Now, last night, if you're a New York fan, in the Garden, St. John's played Georgetown, which was pretty dope. It was Chris Mullen. He coached against Patrick Ewan, who coached Georgetown. It was a dope game, too. Georgetown did win 66-69. I just thought it was dope to see Patrick Ewan
Starting point is 00:03:23 versus Chris Mullen. All my New Yorkers out there. Now, let's also talk about these mudslides that's going on in California. Pretty crazy out there, huh? Yes. After the fires tore through Southern California, now heavy rains have sent mudslides going down the hillsides in Santa Barbara County. Thirteen people are dead so far.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Now, they do expect that number to go up because they are looking for at least two dozen people who are unaccounted for. So that rain hit around 3 a.m. and until 6 a.m. And there were more than 600 phone calls for assistance while that happened. They said because of the fires, a lot of the stuff was dead. And then they said it rained like four inches in an hour. And then all of a sudden it just started sliding down, which was definitely crazy. Trees, homes, everything.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Cars, abandoned surfboards, all of that in the street. That's sad. We call mudslides diarrhea of the earth. That's what that is. All right. What else are we talking about? The richest person of all time right now, who has now eclipsed Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, is Jeff Bezos from Amazon. He's worth $105.1 billion.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Congratulations to him. I love that picture that they show when he first started Amazon and he's like in this little small room with just a written sign that says Amazon on it. That's inspiring. Now most of that net worth comes from the shares that he has of Amazon stock. He owns 78.9 million shares.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So when that stock climbed 1.4% yesterday, that means that he got an extra $1.4 billion. Well, I hope he's happy. Okay, he's probably not a happy individual. I'm sure he's happy. Don't hate on him. He's probably happy. I'm hating.
Starting point is 00:04:47 This is clear hate, all right? Let's be clear. I'm glad that you recognize that this was hate out of the gate. But I hope he's happy because he's probably not a happy person. My dumb ass looked at my stocks. I own 50 stocks. I was like, yeah, maybe I got it. No.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah, you got $50. Man. What would you do with $105 billion? I find that one person really need that money. You could have. I would hope that guys like Jeff Bezos, which he probably is because Warren Buffett is, I would assume that he's one of the biggest philanthropists on the planet. I would hope so.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Yeah, I would hope so. He is, right, too. I would hope so, too. He was actually talking about where he wanted to donate his money, and he was asking for suggestions for other suggestions for his donations. See the God World LLC is a great place that you can donate. You can donate to Third Eye Awareness. Great nonprofit.
Starting point is 00:05:30 You should donate to both of those organizations. Jeff Bezos. Okay. You should change his name to Jeff Bezos. What if he was Mexican? Woo! That would be a hell of a nickname. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Jeff Bezos. And that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, a horrible night, or maybe you feel blessed. You want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:06:52 Hey, I'm blessed today, guys. I called back in August. I'm president of a nonprofit based out in Greenville, North Carolina called Future. Back in August when I called, we were doing our first school drive. But now in 2018, we are now getting into one of the elementary schools where we are trying to touch some of these kids. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
Starting point is 00:07:11 What? What? What? What? He didn't mean touch some of the kids like that. What the hell did you just say? He said touch some of the kids, but you didn't mean it like that. You said touch on these kids.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to word this differently, sir. I agree. I agree. My apologies. Jesus Christ. What we're trying to do is change the attitude of these kids
Starting point is 00:07:27 and the mindset of these young kids to try to do better and try to get them to go ahead and start playing long-term-wise instead of waiting until the last minute, i.e. being 18, 17, not having a plan and then getting lost out here in the world with no guidance.

Starting point is 00:10:24 It's the BK Club. That's what I want to call it. That's what I'm going to call it, okay? You know why you call it the BK Club? Because you're used to having things your way, all right? But you're not going to have things your way here. This is the BC. And if you look on the front of the Source magazine, I'm wearing a chain that says BC,

Goodness gracious. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, let's talk about who got a new reality show, a spin-off no longer on Love & Hip Hop,
Starting point is 00:11:05 and another person is saying they are not going to affiliate with H&M after all of the scandal that went down with that photo shoot. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, hey. It's Rockstar Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:11:27 We are The Breakfast Club. I love that record. I mute Post Malone verses on it, and it sounds amazing. Oh, my goodness. I keep the hook, and 21 Savage, great song, great record. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk more H&M Fallout. It's about time.
Starting point is 00:11:41 What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, G-Eazy is going to be terminating his partnership with H&M. He has a line that's supposed to be coming out in March, and now he's saying,
Starting point is 00:11:58 over the past months, I was genuinely excited about launching my upcoming line in collaboration with H&M. Unfortunately, after seeing the disturbing image yesterday, my excitement over our global campaign quickly evaporated. I've decided at this time our partnership needs to end. So that's it. No more for G-Eazy with H&M. We told you The Weeknd has already said he's no
Starting point is 00:12:18 longer working with H&M and the fallout continues. This is what happens when you don't have no diversity on your marketing team. You know what I mean? Somebody in that building should have said, you know what, this is what happens when you don't have no diversity on your marketing team. You know what I mean? Like, somebody in that building should have said, you know what, this is not a good idea. This should not be out.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Now, he ended saying, I hope that this situation will serve as the wake-up call that H&M and other companies need to get on track and become racially and culturally aware as well as more diverse
Starting point is 00:12:39 at every level. That's exactly what it is. It's a bunch of culturally clueless people in the building. That's all it is. Now, James Franco was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert yesterday. And I'm not sure if you guys know this, but as of late, several women have come forward and said that James Franco was inappropriate and even accused him of something a little bit further.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Who's James Franco again? You know, the actor. He's really funny. He's in a bunch of movies. He actually won an award for the disaster artist. He made that movie with his brother. Yeah, we gotta tell you who James Franco is. This story's not for you. I'm gonna be honest
Starting point is 00:13:10 with you. You should know who James Franco is. He's an actor. He's a pretty funny actor. He's okay. He was supposed to be doing an event with the New York Times and they actually canceled that event. The event was supposed to be today, actually. And that's because of these allegations. Now, Ali Sheedy said that he was inappropriate
Starting point is 00:13:25 with her, and he said this on Stephen Colbert. Okay, first of all, I have no idea what I did to Ally Sheedy. I directed her in a play off Broadway. I had nothing but a great time with her. Total respect for her. I have no idea why she was upset.
Starting point is 00:13:42 She took the tweet down. I don't know. The things that I heard that were on Twitter are not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn't have a voice for so long. So I don't want to shut them down in any way. It's, I think, a good thing, and I support it. The crazy thing is he may not know what he did to Ali Sheed, but she does. And I'm sure that she'll
Starting point is 00:14:06 be revealing it soon since he went on Kobe and said he doesn't know. Not to say that there was anything. Right. But if there was something, she's going to let everybody know real soon.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Right. And you saw Pineapple Express, right, Envy? Mm-hmm. Okay, he was in that also. Now, in addition to that, a couple of other women have had some things
Starting point is 00:14:21 to say about James Franco. And actress Violet Paley wrote on Twitter, Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis? And that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17, after you had already been caught doing that to a different 17-year-old. And then yesterday she said that he had called to offer an overdue, annoyed, convenient phone apology. She said, I don't accept, but maybe some other people's lives would be made easier if he donated all of his earnings
Starting point is 00:14:46 from the disaster artists to a nonprofit group that supports survivors of sexual abuse. Now there's another woman who accused him of exploiting her in a film she made for him. She said, remember a few weeks ago when you told me the full nudity you had me do in two of your movies for $100 a day wasn't exploitative because I signed a contract to do it?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Time's up on that. I 100% did not feel like I had a choice to say no. So the fallout continues. Now, Corey Feldman wants to fight against sexual abuse. We told you he's trying to raise money to do his own film about sexual abuse in Hollywood and about his own life. Now he wants to collaborate with other people, including Terry Crews, who, as you know, came forward with his own sexual assault allegations. Now, he told E! News, Now, Corey Feldman has
Starting point is 00:15:40 been very vocal about things that have happened to him and about alleged sexual abuse in Hollywood. And there was also a Lifetime original movie that came out, A Tale of Two Corys. He executive produced that. So now he wants to do even more to help fight for this cause. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:57 And Jocelyn Hernandez has her own reality show. Let's switch gears for a second. Jocelyn Takes Miami. So apparently she's going to be working with Carlos King, who was a producer for Real Housewives of Atlanta for a while. And according to Hip Hollywood, it's going to follow her journey as a single mother raising her daughter, Bonnie Bella, in Miami. Yeah, she just did a crazy photo shoot the other day. I feel like that's a
Starting point is 00:16:16 couple years too late. Jocelyn? Yeah. Jocelyn, reality show by herself. What network? VH1. Did I say VH1? No, it is on VH1. No, I didn't say that. No, I just said it's being produced by Carlos King, who used to produce Real Housewives of Atlanta. I'm pretty sure it's VH1.
Starting point is 00:16:30 You think so? Yeah, they're not letting her go. They got her in a 360 times 10 deal, I'm sure. All right. All right. Well, that's your rumor report. When we come back, Jason Mitchell will be joining us. He played Eazy-E.
Starting point is 00:16:41 There you go. And straight out of Compton. We're going to kick it with him when we come back. He's in Mudbound. He plays Brandon in The Chi. Phenomenal actor. We're going to kick it with him when we come back. He's in Mudbound. He plays Brandon in The Chi. Phenomenal actor. And we're going to talk to him. So keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Starting point is 00:16:53 Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. You might not know who he is without Jerry Curls. That's not true. Jason Mitchell. Good morning. What's not true. Jason Mitchell, come on in. What's happening, man? How you feeling? Jason, what's happening, my brother?
Starting point is 00:17:09 He played Eazy-E and Straight Outta Compton. That's why I said the whole Jerry Curls thing. And then he was in Mudbound. He was in Mudbound as well. I mean, he's been in a lot of stuff, but Jason Mitchell has almost made me cry twice. Oh, man, almost. Almost. If you cry, it's cool. I haven't gotten there yet, but I felt it, though. You know what I'm saying? I was like, but you did make my homeboy drop a tip.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah? Yes. Was it a homeboy or you? See, he was watching his homeboy. That's how you know he's waxed. I'm going to look away. It was waxed. You don't know wax, but we was in L.A.
Starting point is 00:17:34 The big, strong diesel guy out there with the dreads. Oh, wow. Yeah. We was in L.A. All right, missing the Compton. Watching straight out of Compton. It's like when you find out you had AIDS, the whole theater went silent, right?
Starting point is 00:17:48 And then you started crying. And all I heard my homeboy say was, Yikes! And I was just over there eye-watering. That means he touched stone. That means he was playing with some dirt bunches. Now let me read you these text messages that happened between us yesterday, right?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Okay. I did shoot my shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On Twitter. This is so crazy right now. I watched The Chi, the first two episodes. It was so great, and I tweeted about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And then somehow, I guess, you know, I hashtagged it, you retweeted it, and I was like, you should come to the Breakfast Club. I never really do that, but it worked out. So here you are. Yeah, man. I'm in the building, because I was like, if I could do anything in the world, I got to do Breakfast Club. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:18:27 I feel like you're really not popping until you do the Breakfast Club. So I'm like, man, it's too easy. I'm there. So these text messages yesterday, right? We were going back and forth about the time, whatever, whatever. And Charlamagne says, I love him. Charlamagne on the table said, I love him. For no reason.
Starting point is 00:18:44 No reason. I love you too. I like your acting. I love his acting. I love people who speak their mind I responded I'm telling wifey that you love her I didn't reply back I'm like you ain't so freaking childish You know what I'm saying That's too funny What made you get into acting
Starting point is 00:19:00 Man just trying to find new friends You know what I mean Because I come from like the real hood Not the rap hood You know what i mean and i'm from new orleans louisiana i'm from holly grove me and wayne grew up right around the corner from each other okay shout out to jay jones he a young cat working from back there too and um i lost my best friend at 22 years old and i didn't go to college because katrina hit you know right after the storm or whatever i was just like kind of scrambling you know and just trying to get some money. That's all I could think about was money, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And my best friend gets killed. And then I was like, you know, maybe I should just find some new friends. You know what I mean? Maybe I should just start there. Yeah. So I went to like this random acting workshop. It was only like eight weeks and it was just passing through New Orleans. And my friend was like, man, you should go.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And I'm like, yeah, okay, acting. That's like one of the kids on the side. Right, exactly, exactly, same deal. So he asked me like a week later, like, whatever happened to you going to the class, blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, you know, I was driving. I ain't had time to write the number down.
Starting point is 00:20:01 He just remembered the number off the top of his head. I'm like, man, I'm going to take this as a sign from God. So I went down there in like a three-piece suit, and I was terrible. You know what I mean? But the lady was like, you know, it's just something about you. Like, you know, like if you stick with this, you might have some juice. You know? So I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So maybe five or six weeks into it, they had an agent. Shout out to Tasha Smith. She came and checked me out. Yeah. She came and checked me out. And it was on from there. Really out. It was on from there. Really? It was just on from there. That's so dope because somebody, when you went to your audition,
Starting point is 00:20:30 even though you weren't good, she saw something in you and she told you that because if she would have just been like, nah, it's not for you. Right, exactly. It shows you how important it is to tell people when you see a little light and it's up to you after that to figure out how you can nurture it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:45 That's why I'm glad I get to represent that. You know what I mean? Because so many people saw me. They saw my faults. They saw my ups, my downs. So, you know, they could see me and be like, damn, he could do it. I could do it.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So what were you doing prior to you getting in that class? You say your friend got killed. Were you in the street? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was doing my thing. But, you know, you know how it is. Selling drugs, using them, because that is New Orleans. Heroin big out there now.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Them boys doing heroin at a young age. No, I'm not touching no dog food, man. Never sold it. I don't like that. I don't even like the clientele. But it was a thing for me where I was just over it. You know what I mean? I caught a couple of charges.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Like I said, people was dying. And it was just getting a little too serious. You realize in order to change your life, you got to change your lifestyle. Exactly. How'd you get straight out of Compton?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Walk us through that. Wow. Okay, so at first it started off really like protocol. You know, they sent it to my email and it was like, this is something
Starting point is 00:21:39 you really could get. So I asked the question that everybody else asked, like, is a VH1 movie is going to be a TV? You know what I mean? And they was like, no, Universal doing this. And I asked the question that everybody else asked, like, is a VH1 movie? It's going to be a VH1. You know what I mean? And they was like, nah,
Starting point is 00:21:47 Universal doing this. And I'm like, what? Okay, say less. when you say they sent it? Like, just the casting company
Starting point is 00:21:53 because they send it through, like, you know, your agent or whatever. So by the time it gets to me, it'd just be like sides for the script or whatever so I can go do my little audition.
Starting point is 00:22:00 So I put it on tape, knock it out, and it was crazy because the lady who put me on tape, her name is And it was crazy because the lady who put me on tape Her name is Megan Lewis And this lady's like I don't know if y'all know anything about white folks from Boston
Starting point is 00:22:12 No They're really white And very serious You know what I mean? So I never booked with her And I probably ran with her maybe 15 times And just never booked with her So and I probably ran with her maybe 15 times and just never booked with her.
Starting point is 00:22:25 So she was doing this thing with her head, like, saying yes and no at the same time. What's going on? You know, and I was like, was it bad? She was like, no. She double high-fived me, walked me to my car. I'm like, this is not the Megan I remember. You know what I mean? So, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:40 F*** it off from Jason. Exactly. Jason is so good. It was so good. She caught my agent right after. Like, I think he has a chance. It's going to is so good. It was so good. She called my agent right after. Like, I think he has a chance. It's going to be so good. She was about to cry.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I'm like, Lord. So, and they ain't called me until like a month and a half later. I totally forgot about this. I'm like cooking. Because I got a cooking job and like an oyster shucking job. Oh, so you really do cook? That's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Because on the side, you cook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I was, you know, trying to stay out of the way. And they called me up. They're like, yeah, they want you to fly to L.A. tomorrow. And I'm like, well, see, with my bank account and my life and my probation and everything set up, you know, I can't just leave. You know what I mean? I mean, yeah, I had things going on in my life, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:20 They called me back maybe in like 30 minutes and was like, Gary wants to Skype with you. You have Gary Gray, the director. So I'm like, all right, cool. You know, I hardwired everything. I set it up. I'm like, look, satellite dish on top of the crib. Please don't skip. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:33 I ain't even going to lie and pretend like I don't know how long it was. It was an hour and 17 minutes. We sat there and Skyped. The whole movie. Exactly. You know what I mean? We did these same five scenes just back to back to back to back to back to back, just running through them.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And what I really remember is, like, I did the hospital scenes, right? So I'm, like, crying. You know what he's telling me? You're a great crier, by the way. We'll get to that. Thank you. Thank you. He was like, just breathe, just breathe, just breathe.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So I'm like, okay. I'm trying to relax. But then the butterflies are, like, leaving my stomach. You know what I mean? Because I'm like, okay. I'm trying to relax. But then the butterflies are like leaving my stomach. You know what I mean? Because I'm like, it's over now, you know? And then I just bust out laughing. And then I can hear a bunch of voices. Because all I can see is his face on Skype.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And he's going back and forth. And I'm like, who else is in this room with you? You know what I mean? I can hear all these voices. And it was like, he good, right? He good. And then I booked it right over Skype. Just like that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Wow, that's amazing Had never been to California In my life Did you know anything About NWA and Eazy I did I did Cause I grew up on Bone Thugs And of course you know
Starting point is 00:24:32 Ice Cube He got to be in everybody Top 10 at least You know what I mean So you know No Vaseline was like A big part of my life You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:24:40 So We gonna edit that part We gonna edit that one part You know You know I'm a I'm a younger dude You know what I mean, so. Oh, we're going to edit that part. We're going to edit that one part. You know, you know. I'm a younger dude. You know what I mean? So when that beef record hit, I was like, whoa, okay. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:52 So everybody, exactly. If you didn't know, now you know, you know. So why were you on probation? Man. What happened was. Come on, tell us the story. I just got caught up, you know. What you was drug possession?

You know, we're moving forward. We're moving forward, and that's good. You know. All right, we got more with Jason Mitchell. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 00:25:30 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Jason Mitchell in the building. He played Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Ye. I remember reading that you were disappointed at first because you thought you would book like some bigger things right away after Straight Outta Compton
Starting point is 00:25:51 because you had such a phenomenal role in that and you didn't stop acting. I did. It took a little time. Yeah, definitely. Because like, the things that were hitting me
Starting point is 00:26:01 were like pigeonhole material. You know what I mean? Come play another rapper. Come play a gangster. Exactly. Exactly. And I'm like, you know what? I know I got a lot of tattoos and all that, y'all, but look.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I'm trying to do something else. You know what I mean? So I went and did like Keanu with P and P. You know what I mean? I think that movie is so funny. Just trying to show my layers. You know what I mean? You know who was in that?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Tiffany Haddish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Tiffany Haddish. She's doing it real big right now. But yeah. Shout out to Jordan Peele, too, who's doing absolutely amazing. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And Key also. They had that Netflix show that I love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back from college. Yeah, we thinking about doing some things together, too, man. Yeah, yeah. Now, you are a good crier. Did you learn that in acting school? But now that I know you're from New Orleans, that's probably coming from a real place.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Absolutely. Absolutely. It was just, you know, as guys, we just never do cry. We never let it out. You know what I mean? We don't hug each other. We don't do none of that. So...
Starting point is 00:26:53 We don't say we love people. Exactly. Exactly. I love him. You don't even know him. No one's gonna love him. We don't say I love people. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:27:02 No, but I think it was just so much that I held in over time, and I never knew it was therapeutic to let it go. Right. You know what I mean? You know how you get a whooping and you go to sleep feeling better? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? You wake up and you be like, all right, thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I feel a little bit better, you know? Yeah, yeah, learn a little something. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. The hard way, but learn a little something. Exactly, exactly. So it was good for me to sort of just have that experience to be able to let it out. Because after I found out that I felt better after I let it out, I just started channeling it.
Starting point is 00:27:33 We've seen two good cries. The Eazy-E cry. Yeah. What did you think about in that moment? Did you think about really catching AIDS and how you would react to it? You know, actually, I did reverse psychology on my own brain. Because Eazy gave, like like he has seven kids. No, seven baby moms, nine kids.
Starting point is 00:27:48 He gave each of them 20 bands a month, each kid, which is a lot of bread for back then. You know what I mean? A lot of bread for now. Exactly, exactly. Channel Tyrese. What do you want from me? No, don't do that. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Don't do that. Don't get me involved. Don't get me involved. Don't get me involved. No, so just by looking at things like that, I was like, you know, he was playing with a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So for somebody to come to you and tell you, like, bro, it's over. Like, after you done fixed everything, like, you about to die of a sickness. Like, it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:28:23 You know, so I went and got the nicest spot that I could find in Beverly Hills and just stayed there for like a month and just was thinking like, yeah, this is my crib. You know what I mean? Like, that's how I was playing it for myself. So every day when I went home as we were shooting, I was like, man, I'm about to lose all of this. This is about to be gone. My
Starting point is 00:28:39 life, everything is just gone. So it was something I could play off for real. And what about the shot? Because you cried in that church scene. That almost got me. That was the second time you almost got me. You know it was crazy? And I always cry, Jordan. You know I was crying.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I'm not ashamed to say I was crying. Yeah, I'm going to cry. I cried. I've seen her be crying. She's going to be crying on a plane watching the movie. Why are you crying? I'm like, oh. It was Creed.
Starting point is 00:29:04 No, for me, I think it was just, it was one of them things where, like, as soon as you walk into the church, you're like, oh, man. Like, you know, because Jack King, he was somebody who I really got to know and love. You know what I mean? We done spent a few months together. Like, his mama be cooking for us while we on the road. And then you got in the casket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And I'm like, ooh. It was just just you know hard for me to process and um they had a few funerals i skipped just over time you know i mean shout out to my dude bty young and last year he was killed and yeah baby baby was about to sign him yeah he had just got you know the whole thing working out for him and then he got killed right now with hood you know i mean so it's just a lot of things that I feel like I didn't really let out, you know what I mean? And process right.
Starting point is 00:29:49 So that definitely came from a real place. It was hard to turn it off that day. We don't know what's about to happen yet because I've only seen the first two episodes, but if it were up to you, would your character get revenge for your brother getting killed or? Probably not.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Probably not. Because, I mean, I've been in situations like that and I've seen mothers lose two sons. You know what I mean? Either both dead or one dead, one in jail. You know what I mean? You don't win when you fight back like that because you still got to
Starting point is 00:30:18 deal with the police. Explain, I know Shy's about Chicago. What is Shy about? What does it deal with? The Shy's is the circle of life in Chicago. You know, like so many times they dehumanize the fact that these families are losing sons. They're losing daughters. You know what I mean? They're being stripped.
Starting point is 00:30:37 And like, for example, when I first got to Chicago, I saw a sign, like an interactive billboard that said 46 people were shot this weekend. And I'm like, why is this not the talk of Chicago? You know what I mean? Like, why are people not actively trying to get out there and help? But it's because it's a misunderstanding and it's like an ignorance. You know what I mean? So, this TV show is
Starting point is 00:31:00 allowing you to see that the people behind this violence aren't always just wild gangs. It's a reason behind it. Exactly. Social conditions. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:12 It's families. You know what I mean? It's a lot of caring people behind this. And it's also an ecosystem and a domino effect around a murder. You know what I mean? So it's a TV show that shows how this one bullet just changes a bunch of lives. Chicago's a very critical place, and they don't like their city portrayed in your kind of way. So who did you reach out to from there to make sure you were doing it right?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Well, Common's a producer on it, right? Yeah, yeah, Common is definitely a producer on it. And Lena? Lena, they definitely throw. But me, the way I operate and the way I think about things, I did the same thing when I did Straight Outta Compton. I went to the hood, you know, and I walked around. I met people.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I talked to people just so they know that. Because, I mean, you can Google the fact that I'm not from Chicago. You know what I mean? So if they never see me in the streets of Chicago, if I don't do that right, they can be like, of course he's not going to do it right because he's never been back here. You know what I mean? But at least if I mess it up, if I go back there and I'm like, look, I'm trying to do my best and they know it. Like, I spent my Easter back there with a random family.
Starting point is 00:32:12 You know what I mean? Like, I really. That could be dangerous, though, right? I mean, it could be, you know, but if you give respect, you'll get it. Did they know you was an actor? Did they recognize you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They busting out the house.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Easy! We like. So what was they telling you? Like actor? Did they recognize you? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They busting out the house. Easy! We like, in the middle of a chain. So what was they telling you? Like, don't piss up. Well, I mean, they have, they had a few Chicago projects
Starting point is 00:32:32 that missed the mark. Yeah, the one that Spike Lee did. Mm. That was a terrible movie. Love Spike Lee, but that was a terrible movie. I ain't saying that.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, you know, so yeah, they just wanted to make sure it hit the mark. One of my older interns, she's from Chicago, and so when I tweeted out that I love the show, she was like, yeah, we're gonna keep watching, and then she goes, but that's
Starting point is 00:32:54 not how we dress in Chicago. It's the little things like that that are a little nuanced. Yeah, but the show constantly gets better, though. You know what I mean? Because one thing about TV, every episode has a new director. Every episode has a new writer. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:33:09 So, you know. It started off pretty strong, though. I mean, I was drawn in immediately. Because sometimes pilot episodes are like, yeah. Suck. That was a great pilot, though. Thank you. How do you, I don't do funerals either, though.
Starting point is 00:33:20 So I understand how you feel about that. Like, I just don't go to them. Yeah, it's like, because it's extra. You know what I mean? Like, it's supposed to be a celebration, but when it's so sad of a situation, it's not. Yeah, it's not. It's nothing to celebrate in a situation like that. So I'm like,
Starting point is 00:33:33 I might meet y'all at the repass. You know, come get some red beans. Alright, we have more with Jason Mitchell when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Jason Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You might know him as Eazy-E from Straight Outta Compton. He's here. Charlamagne? Now, I saw Mudbound, and I hate watching stuff like that because it makes me hate white people. Right. How do you detox from stuff like that? Man. Well, tell them about Mudbound for people who haven't seen Mudbound.
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's a slave movie, but it's a period piece. It's a slave movie. No, it's not a slave movie. What Mary J. Blige had on ASOS glasses, which I don't understand. That's what it was, right? But we'll bypass that.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Tell us about Mudbound. What is Mudbound? I don't want to give it all away, but Mudbound is a... It's not a slave movie, is it? No, it's a story of two families in the sharecropping Jim Crow kind of era
Starting point is 00:34:23 that's rarely talked about. You know what I mean? Like, people forget and they just jump straight from slavery to, like, civil rights. You know what I mean? And they forget about this time that we had that kind of builds this undercurrent of hate, you know what I mean, for blacks and whites. So, yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:40 it's based on that. It was the Jim Crow era, but in my mind, I'm thinking slave, because every time the white man said jump, they said how high. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. But like I watched my grandfather go through this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:51 So like that was his story. You know, he went to war. He went to the Korean War, came home, still treated bad. You know, but he turned the other cheek and ended up a business owner. You know what I mean? And ultimately now I get to tell his story on the big screen and be the voice that he always wanted to be at the same time. Because my
Starting point is 00:35:10 character don't keep his mouth shut. Well, yes he did. At the end of the movie they made him keep his mouth shut. But how do you get that out of you though? After playing a role like that? You know what it is? That's also a relief for me too. Because I get to do my part non-violent. You get what I'm saying?'s also a relief for me, too. Because I get to do my part non-violently.
Starting point is 00:35:25 You get what I'm saying? Exactly. You watch things like Roots, and then you go outside, and you're like, man, I just want to hit. You know, you just got to go straight home. You know what I'm saying? For real. Go home or don't leave for a week. That's the only options you really have.
Starting point is 00:35:40 You know, but to me, this film was special because it was like it ends with love and it talks about a lot of good things like on the surface. You know what I mean? So like when people leave, they're not ultimately mad at each other. They want to talk about it. Like, wow, black people were really treated like this. And, you know, they want to talk about this now. And the dialogue getting started is all a product of what I've done. You know what I mean? So I'm super happy about it
Starting point is 00:36:06 because all the white people who were in the movie, you know how they must have could see it in my eyes. Because as soon as I was about to have a moment, they just jump in and hug me and be like, man, we love you for this. You're doing something major. You're doing something great for the culture. You know what I mean? You know, so it was a really,
Starting point is 00:36:22 really good support system that I had, man. Everybody showed mad love. Dee Rees was a really, really good support system that I had, man. Everybody showed mad love. Dee Rees was a great director, the most sure black woman I ever met in my life. And she booked you just because it's straight out of Compton. She knew she wanted you for that role. Yeah, it was a trip. That was the first thing I had ever been offered in my whole life. You know, I'm just sitting on the other side of the phone, like, listening to her whole spiel.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Like, yeah, as soon as you're done, I'm going to say yes. You know, because I was so ready to just be able to show a different layer of myself. And to be able to show that, to me, that's dope. We actually shot in places that I took field trips to as a child. Wow. That's lit. Now, Rolling Stone called you this generation's next leading
Starting point is 00:36:58 man. Where are you reading this from? Rolling Stone. Are you making that shit up? Seriously? What? Is that too much pressure? You know, it's really not, man. It's an honor, bro. It's an honor, seriously. You know, because you sit back and you watch movies at home
Starting point is 00:37:14 and you try to convince yourself all of these different things. You know what I mean? Like who you are inside yourself and all that. And when you finally get to start showing yourself to the world, when they respond in an even bigger way than you thought they would, I can't ask for nothing more. Like, if I could have wrote my story, it would not be this good. It probably would have worked its way up to something like
Starting point is 00:37:35 A Straight Outta Compton or Mudbound, you know what I mean? But, like, God just got his hands on me, and I just keep excelling. You know what I mean? I'm getting good stuff. Like, me and Lena, we literally held hands and was like, we're going to speak this into existence two years ago. And now I'm the leader of a TV show. That's crazy. So she came to you about the idea for the show a couple years ago?
Starting point is 00:37:53 No, no, no. We just happened to see each other like in passing. And I was like, yo, because her clothes game is always crazy. Her shoe game always crazy. So I'm like, man, let me take a picture with you. And she was like, yo, I'm a big fan. And we're going to work together one day. And I was like, let's speak it into existence, you know, because I operate off the spirit.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I love that kind of shit. I love it. So we did. We held hands right there. It was like, we're going to speak this into existence. You know what I mean? Not even two years later. I know you've got tons of scripts coming in now.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Yeah, man. Do you know what you want to do? Like what kind of role you're looking for next? Or what won't you do? Yeah, what kind of role you're looking for next? Or what won't you do? Ooh. Yeah, is there any role that you wouldn't play? You know, I don't... No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:38:31 I don't think so. I really... Because I'd be, like, going to challenge myself. I want something crazy, like Floyd Mayweather or, like, somebody with one leg or something. You know what I mean? You play a gay man, you do a gay kiss to see, Brokeback Mountain, something like that.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Don't, don't, don't follow this up. It's a trap. Don't do this. I don't know why he likes to do this. Don't do it. I really don't discriminate against no role. So you do any scene? You know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I think I would. Why would you want to play Floyd Mayweather, though? Because it's just like naturally he challenges himself more than the average person. Like I had the pleasure of meeting him, and then right after I met him, he challenges himself more than the average person. Like I had the pleasure of meeting him. And then right after I met him, he went running. But I'm like, dude, it's like it's about to be one o'clock in the morning. He does that.
Starting point is 00:39:12 You know what I mean? He does that. He just goes running on the highway at like four in the morning. But to play Floyd, you would have to learn how to not read lines. Not be able to read lines. Don't follow his lead. Floyd, don't hit him. No, Floyd, please hit me if you ever feel like it.
Starting point is 00:39:29 You're right. Please. He's like, I need that bankroll. No, but, yeah, it's just, to me, it's like when you deal with somebody who has a different type of work ethic and their brain operates on a different wave than yours, that's the fire. You know what I mean? You got it, Max. Yeah. Yeah, yeah's the fire. You know what I mean? You got to box. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Yeah, yeah. I love that, too. I love that. I love the whole process of it. You know what I mean? Because when you get tired in boxing, you get hurt. It's not like one of them sports
Starting point is 00:39:55 where you can put your hands on your hip. Right. You know what I mean? So I really, I respect boxers. Absolutely. To have that, you know, to have somebody have the confidence in me to be able to pull that off, like, that would be super dope. We appreciate you for joining us.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Thank you for having me. Jason's going to be around. I think Jason's going to be like one of those Denzel guys. Like, somebody will see it at the Oscars in a few years. Like, damn, look at Jason Wayne. I hope so, man. And you love him. We just remember that.
Starting point is 00:40:21 He's dope, man. I like people that create great content. Like, he's dope at what he does. You can watch him on screen. You can tell he's special. This is the next level in my life. Hey, man, if you get some new pussy off it, just text me and let me know. Oh, I definitely will.
Starting point is 00:40:32 No doubt. Yeah, I got you. My man. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

Great guy. He's going to be a special one. I think I don't want to put too much pressure on him. You love him.
Starting point is 00:40:59 But listen, I just think he's got a lot of range. You know what I'm saying? That Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks type of range. But I don't want to put too much pressure on the young man. Well, I love his whole story of how he got started and everything. And The Chi is an excellent show. So if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you watch that first episode. It came on Sunday, and it's on Showtime on Sundays.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Amazing. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kerry Hilson. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Carrie Hilson had a difficult sit down with Steve Harvey's psychic medium, Reginald Lewis. Now, he tapped into her late grandmother to talk about her making the right decisions as far as leaving certain people behind.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Now, Carrie Hilson also revealed a lot about what's been going on in her life personally. Here's what happened. I hit rock bottom a few times. You had to. Yeah. And I'm crawling back to walking in my purpose. I think I had to give up music for a while. I stepped away.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I thought it would just be a year. It's been six, maybe. I realize now that I'm grateful for all of those years because I have built myself back up. I'm going to tell you something, Carrie. You didn't give up music. Music gave up you. When you made those little shots
Starting point is 00:42:15 at Beyonce, the beehive pointed at you with the steely finger from a color purple. And it ain't no good going to come to you until you do right by Beyonce. You think she should have tried to keep going? She should have apologized to Beyonce. Okay? That should've tried to keep going? She should've apologized to Beyonce. Okay?
Starting point is 00:42:27 That's what she should've done. She look crazy. Please, but I'm gonna be honest with you. Pretty Girl Rock used to be your song. I remember when we first started the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:42:33 My name is... And we used to be in the club. Yes, that was. And Pretty Girl Rock came right. You used to do your little sassy dance. You used to do
Starting point is 00:42:39 the Pretty Girl Rock. You got the song, play the song, watch. He gonna do it. As soon as the song come on, he got that little sassy. My name is... He used to do that
Starting point is 00:42:44 little sassy shoulder shake. You used to be like, my name is Charlamagne. Yep. You know what I'm saying? Where did these stories come from? Yo, that is... Charlamagne. Don't lie.
Starting point is 00:42:51 That wasn't your song? Did I used to drink that much that I don't remember none of these things? We did used to drink a lot, but you used to get busy. I ain't going to lie. When that beat used to drop. See, there you go right there. There you go right there. There you go, see?
Starting point is 00:43:03 But it's time, B-Hive. Undig the... You know, I know it's a chicken bone in Houston buried with Carrie's name on it. Undig the bone, man. Dig up the bone. Let Carrie be. Jesus Christ. All right. Now, Russell Simmons has two more rape allegations now.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Two women have gone to the police and they have filed criminal complaints. Now, one is saying that Russell Simmons raped her in 1983, and the other one is saying 1991. One woman is Sherry Hines, and she was on Megyn Kelly's show in December. She said that Russell Simmons raped her at his office in 1983. And the other woman is anonymous, but she says that Russell Simmons raped her at his home in Manhattan after they went on a date. She said she was 32, and he tried to take off her dress while sitting on a couch and then pushed her down and forcibly raped her when she rejected him. And it's all allegedly. These are all alleged.
Starting point is 00:43:49 These are the women who are coming forward and making allegations against him. But I mean now there's a criminal complaint. I guess he could take it to court maybe. I don't know. Well the NYPD is already investigating him for seven claims of sexual misconduct. So he took a polygraph test and passed and that was for one claim against him,
Starting point is 00:44:05 at least one of the allegations against him. Now, Michael Douglas is trying to get ahead of the gun, and he is saying that there's a woman who is about to come out and tell her story that he masturbated in front of her 32 years ago, and he spoke raunchily or dirtily with friends of mine. Now, he says, I will fess up to colorful language,
Starting point is 00:44:24 but the issue of masturbating in front of her that is something I've only heard about the last year. It's not an expression that related to the 80s so I thought it stunk. He said it's a complete lie, fabrication, no truth to it whatsoever. It's extremely painful. I pride myself on my reputation in this business not to mention the long
Starting point is 00:44:40 history of my father and everything else. I don't have skeletons in my closet or anyone else who's coming out or saying this. Look, your honor, that's my crack, but that ain't my gun. That's what he's saying. That's my crack, but that ain't my gun. I don't know whose gun is it, but it ain't mine. Yeah, he's saying he might have used some
Starting point is 00:44:56 harsh language, but he never masturbated in front of anyone. Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne! Oh, man. Yes. Who are you giving that down to? Listen, man.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Four after the hour, we have another great case of good old racism in America. You know, that's a hot button topic that I love to talk about. And if you were appalled by the H&M situation. Oh, man. I got a doozy for you. Four after the hour, buddy. All right. We'll get into that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day at Jungle Man. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place.
Starting point is 00:45:36 So like a donkey. He hung. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, January 10th goes to Coach Walt Gill and the Kingsgill Varsity Boys Rec Basketball Team in Cincinnati. Salute to everyone who listens to us on 102.3 to Beat in Cincinnati. Drop one of Clues' bombs for them. Let me tell you something, man. If you were appalled by the H&M ad where they had the young god, that young black king wearing a hoodie that said, coolest monkey in the jungle, then this story is really going to grind your gears.
Starting point is 00:46:16 All right. Now, the Kingsgill Varsity boys basketball team pulled up for their game on Sunday afternoon wearing jerseys that said, wet dream team on the front. Now, wet dreams, that's a sexual reference. Your Uncle Charlotte has had quite a few of those in my day. I actually think wet dreams are ghosts having sex with you when you sleep. Oh, yes. Bobby Brown is not the
Starting point is 00:46:34 only brother out here who has spooned a spirit or two. I've definitely done that. A wet dream to me is nothing but poltergeist poom poom, but that's neither here nor there. It's not appropriate for kids in high school to name their basketball team that. Maybe they were going for a Splash Brothers kind of vibe. But nah. Right?
Starting point is 00:46:49 Hey, Kingsgill Varsity boys, y'all didn't think that went through. Imagine coming back from a long away game and all of y'all sleep on the team bus and somebody takes a pic of y'all bunched up together in those bus seats, all close, eyes closed, snoring, and someone takes a pic and posts it with the caption, Wet Dream Team. Gay! Okay?
Starting point is 00:47:08 But that's not the reason they're getting donkey of the day. See, some of these young Caucasian men didn't have inappropriate things just on the back of their jersey. They had inappropriate things on the front of their, well, not just on the front of their jersey. They had it on the back of their jersey as well. Let's go to the news for the report, please. The name of the team is a sexual reference that we won't be repeating here on WLWT.
Starting point is 00:47:30 A sexual innuendo was printed across the front of their shirts as parents of the opposing team saw for themselves yesterday. It's more of a joke to them than than anything else. Printed on the back of the shirts instead of player names was something that stirred even more anger at West Claremont yesterday. Words that some considered racist. It's not so much about even if we had black students, or African American students, or any minorities. Our kids were offended. Tony Rue immediately brought West Claremont's concerns to the league rep's attention.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I think he called people above him, and about midway through the second quarter, he came and got the ref's attention and told them the game was over. It was called that we weren't going to be a part of it. Game over and season over for the Kings team. Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League said in a written statement today, the actions and conduct of the team did not comply with our stated mission and expected standards and that team has therefore been dismissed from our league. Kings was four games into the season which leaves opponents scratching their heads. Now the coach Walt Gill
Starting point is 00:48:37 initially told me on the phone that this whole thing was getting blown out of proportion but later this afternoon he released the following statement saying, we sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by the jerseys. We offered to cover them up or change. However, the league saw fit to remove us, and we have accepted that decision. But the Kings School District did say it condemns any type of hateful or racist commentary. All right, let me tell you what the Kings Guild Varsity Boys rec basketball team had on the back of their jerseys.
Starting point is 00:49:08 They thought it would be a good idea to have Negro on the back of their jersey. I just caught that one, too. You didn't know what that was? They spelled it K-N-E-E-G-R-O-W. I said Negro. And another white guy had Coon on the back of his jersey. This is what bothers me about this entire situation.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Sharice Middleton is the Kings Division coordinator, and she released a statement saying, Kings rec basketball for grade 7-12 does not in any way support or condone the uniform infractions that occurred. We strictly follow and support the rules set out by Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League and fully support their decision to remove the team from play as well. F that. This is more than a uniform infraction.
Starting point is 00:49:45 This is racism. What do you mean uniform infraction? Not tucking in your jersey is a uniform infraction. Having a logo on your jersey you're not supposed to have is a uniform infraction. This is racism in its purest form. Then the coach of the team puts out that apology. We sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by the jerseys. We offered to cover them up or change however the league saw fit to remove us,
Starting point is 00:50:04 and we have accepted that decision. Dear Coach Walt Gill, shut the jerseys. We offered to cover them up or change however the league saw fit to remove us, and we have accepted that decision. Dear Coach Walt Gill, shut the F up forever. All right, they ain't covering up or changing, bae. You mean to tell me when your kids came to you with this idea, you didn't tell them, hell no? You mean to tell me that you didn't think a group of young white kids going out there with Negro on the back of their jersey and Coon on the back of their jersey,
Starting point is 00:50:21 you thought that wasn't going to offend someone? See, Queen Michelle Obama said when they go low, we go high. But Charlemagne Tha God says, when they go low, take it to the floor with them. And this is exactly why I will never stop calling white devils white devils, okay? All white people aren't the devil, but the ones in these jerseys are young white devils, too.
Starting point is 00:50:38 See, when they display racism like this at a young age, I call them crack-ass crackers in training. All right, this is bigotry under construction, ladies and gentlemen, but this can be reversed. Oh, they can absolutely unlearn whatever they are being taught at home. All it takes is one away game in a predominantly black district in Cincinnati. I guarantee that Jamal and them who play for the undefeated Cincinnati Cracker Crushers have not played the wet dream team, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:00 I want to start a league in Cincinnati right now. Red, black, and green are the colors. Name of the team is the Triple C Cincinnati Cracker Crushers. And we're not even going to go low and have racial slurs on the back of our jerseys. We're going to have names like Muhammad, Zulu, X, Tummin, Obama, Farrakhan. Okay? All the names that strike fear In you racist bigots And the white dream team
Starting point is 00:51:26 Better have that same energy And come in there with racial slurs On the back of their jerseys To play my guys Oh my bad To play my gods Listen man There's a great book out there
Starting point is 00:51:36 That was required reading When I was a lad It was called The Killer Mockingbird Anybody in here ever read it? Of course Written by Harper Lee And Harper Lee once said
Starting point is 00:51:43 As you grow older You'll see white men Cheat black men every day of your life. But let me tell you something, and don't you forget it. Whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash. If you're a racist, prejudiced bigot, you are trash. Trash is actually an understatement.
Starting point is 00:52:02 You may think the person you're being prejudiced against is the problem, but actually you're the problem. So if you want to be part of the solution and not the problem, then it's simple. Be the change you want to be in. Be the change you want to see in the world and don't be racist. Please give Coach Walt Gill and the Kingsgill Varsity Boys rec team.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Matter of fact, Remy Ma asked him a simple question. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. It's simple. It's simple. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:32 But I'm serious about that, for real. One, one, oh, two, three to beat in Cincinnati. Holler at me. I'm going to start my own team out there. You going to call it the CCC Triple C? Triple C, baby. Cincinnati Cracker Crushers. My goodness. What's up?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Let's get the league going, baby. My goodness. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of Crushes. My goodness. What's up? Let's get the league going, baby. My goodness. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee right now. The phone lines are wide
Starting point is 00:52:57 open. Again, the number's 800-585-1051. And I just got a great message from someone who did an Ask Yee before. She said, I followed your advice, focused on myself and kids, and met a wonderful guy who loves my kids just as much as I do. I'm so blessed. Just when I haven't given up and was okay with being alone, Mr. Wright
Starting point is 00:53:13 came along. Nice. Thank you for all your advice. Alright, well you can ask E next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Drake One Dance. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:53:29 We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you got a question for Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Ray. Hey, Ray. What's your question for Yee? This morning, I want to ask Yee,
Starting point is 00:53:42 how do you slow someone down when you all are bonding on a good level and you want to continue to explore the friend zone, but they want to move faster forward? So you want to just be friends with this person and take your time, but he wants to do what? I'm a good kid, and he already knows that, but he wants to put a gas on it, and I just want to continue to explore the friend zone. So is it that you want to just date other people and not be in a relationship yet? You're not sure about him, or I'm not sure what's happening? So, you know, guys, when they see something, they want something, they want to just go
Starting point is 00:54:19 ahead and take it to the next level. Right. Let's talk about affairs. Let's talk about kids. We can explore those conversations, but... Not yet. Let's still about parents. Let's talk about kids. We can explore those conversations, but let's still get to know each other. And what does he say when you tell him that? It's more so like, I know
Starting point is 00:54:31 what I want. I'm of age. I just don't have time to kind of play around. You know, we're both good people. Well, it's important for people to know that you both have to be on the same page. If the roles were reversed, and as a woman, you were like, oh, well, let's do this. I'm ready to settle down.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I want to do that. That might scare somebody, right? Right. That might scare a man, and we're always taught, okay, you got to just relax, take your time. If your instincts are telling you, and everything in you is saying, I'm not ready to just full speed jump into this,
Starting point is 00:54:58 I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and he should respect that. And that's how you know if somebody really is the one for you, if they're ready to go at that pace. Now, it would make me nervous if somebody was going too fast, too quickly. Right. And you should tell them. You should be like, look, I'm going to be honest with you, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:13 I'm very protective of myself, and I want to be with somebody that understands that and somebody that is willing to take the time that I want to take to get to know me to build this foundation together. I don't want to jump into anything and rush into it. And you should respect that. If you really care about me and want to be with me, then you'll be willing to take that time also. Somebody will wait and will be patient and prove himself to you as needed. That's right.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Thank you so much. I want to let you both know, CJ, Envy, Yee, Charlamagne, you all are doing amazing things, amazing amazing things out into the universe I watch you all every morning and I appreciate you great virgin thank you
Starting point is 00:55:48 alright she's a great catch too guys alright ask Yee 800-585-1051 if you got a question for Yee you can call up and ask right now
Starting point is 00:55:57 or you can always email Yee what's your email please it is helpmeyee at gmail.com alright it's the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 00:56:03 good morning rockstar morning everybody it's DJ En Club. Good morning. Rockstar morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, how's it going? My name is John. Hey, John. What's your question for Yee, bro?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah, man. I'm a recent dad, you know. I got a little girl now. She's maybe about five weeks and my girl is going through trust issues with me. You know, like, ever since the baby kind of came out, it's kind of been, you know, a sideway look. You know, it's not the same relationship that we started when the baby was.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Before the baby was conceived, you know what I mean? Well, she might be suffering from some type of postpartum depression. Have you ever thought about that, as a lot of women do, and don't even realize it? You know, I did think about that. She did go get a prescription. You know, I did think about that. She did go get a prescription. You know, they got her on one of them pills that are being passed out, but
Starting point is 00:56:50 That might be changing her mood also. Would there be something to do to help her feel like she could trust me? Is there anything that I could do to fix that? You know what? You can't force someone to trust you, and it sounds like she's really going through some things that
Starting point is 00:57:05 none of us could possibly comprehend you know, having just had a baby. I would say that I'm always really leery about pills being taken and everything so it might be that she had, like what kind of pills is she on and why is she on them? Well, they did prescribe
Starting point is 00:57:21 I think it was one of the ones with disease Zoloft I think it was. of the ones with disease, Zoloft, I think it was. Because that can alter your mood greatly also. Yeah, and I mean, she got them for the postpartum depression, you know, that was the reason behind it. You know, I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not at all an expert on postpartum depression, but I do know people that have gone through it and how difficult it is to pull yourself out of it. And she has identified that she is going through something that she probably feels like she can't control. And I think it is commendable that you want to be there and help her with it. But the issue is probably not you as much as it is her and you just making sure that
Starting point is 00:57:57 you're there for her and supporting her through this time. I would definitely say make sure you keep that communication open. And I would highly recommend you get a therapist or somebody that can talk to her so she can identify what's going on with her and why these things are happening. And have someone to talk to because I know one of the main issues with women suffering from postpartum depression is feeling like they don't have anyone to talk to. And they can't express how it feels and they don't know why they feel that way. It might be something she doesn't even know why. I get that. I get that. Well, look, I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Thank you for answering. Okay, no problem. I wish I could do more, but I can't give like, you know, but I do know that it's a really common issue and I do know that you have to make sure
Starting point is 00:58:35 that she has someone to talk to and that she can talk to you about it. And I do know that it's not her fault that she's feeling these feelings and she probably has no idea how to handle it. Well, I do appreciate
Starting point is 00:58:46 it, you know. It's really the love that I got for her that makes me want to even call and talk, you know. I listen to the show all the time, you know, like right now I'm in the middle of traffic driving to work and I just, that's been my new thing on my head lately, you know. No, I love that you care. I love that you care that much. You should
Starting point is 00:59:01 always tell her how much you care, but get her some expert advice so that somebody that knows and has dealt with this before and dealt with women who are suffering from this can actually step in and let her know what steps she needs to take in order to get back to herself. Because I'm sure she wants to also. Thank you so much, Mom. Okay. And it's crazy that women will never fully trust men until we get detachable penises
Starting point is 00:59:23 that we can leave at home with them when we're away. Do you blame them? No. All right. There you go. All right. Well, ask Yee. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:59:30 We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes. Imagine as a woman you were working and you made less than $1,000. And someone who was working alongside you as your co-star made $1.5 million for the same exact work. You're the new agent. We'll tell you who that happened to. You're the new manager. We'll get into that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:59:44 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Question. Question, guys. Question. We'll tell you who that happened to. We'll get into that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club good morning. Question, question, guys. Question. What, what, what, what, what? You know I have regular bowel movements. Correct.
Starting point is 00:59:50 So I'm trying to figure out how come when I go to, you know, use the bathroom at work, my leg never falls asleep the way it does at home. Because at home you're more comfortable and you're
Starting point is 01:00:02 relaxed, but when you're at work you try to get it out faster. But I be on there the same amount of time. After four or five minutes at home, my leg goes to sleep. Oh, the toilets are higher. Ooh, you're right, Steve. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 01:00:11 Steve, our cameraman just said the toilets are higher. That's exactly what it is, because I always go in the handicapped stall. The toilets are higher. I've never had my legs fall asleep on the toilet. Why do you go in the... I don't understand, so why do your legs fall asleep? Mine fall asleep, too.
Starting point is 01:00:24 That should never happen to me, ever. Blood understand. So why do your legs fall asleep? Mine fall asleep too. That never happened to me ever. Blood circulation. The circulation in your leg stops. Yes. So that's why it goes... Do you like lean on your legs or something? Nah. Nah.
Starting point is 01:00:32 But I know when I get up at home, boy, I just got to sit there and nothing looks stupider than standing there butt naked. Why does that not... Does that only happen to men maybe? A little shriveled up penis. Huh?
Starting point is 01:00:39 Does that only happen to men? Waiting for it to wake up. It only happened to me when I started getting a little older because when I was younger, this never happened. The last five years, I would say the last two, three years,
Starting point is 01:00:48 I mean. And I'd be thinking stuff like, man, please don't let the house catch on fire right now. I can't run out. I can't do nothing until the circulation starts back in my leg.
Starting point is 01:00:55 And my wife knows what happens so when I'm in, she starts pushing me when you can't move, when your feet's on the ceiling. All right, let's do the rumors. All right, sorry. All right, let's get to the rumors.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Let's talk Oprah. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. the rooms. Let's talk Oprah. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:01:08 With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Gilt Ping clarified some remarks on CBS this morning on a show. Now, she was talking about Oprah potentially running for president in 2020. And here's what she had to say. I do think this, though, guys. I do think she's intrigued by to say. I do think this though, guys, I do think she's intrigued
Starting point is 01:01:25 by the idea. I do think that. I also know that after years of watching the Oprah show, you always have the right to change your mind. I don't think at this point she is actually considering it. But listen, there are people who said they want to be her campaign manager, who want to quit their jobs and campaign for her. She loves this country and would like to be of service in some way. But I don't think that she's actively. For the record, that is a. I don't think she's actively considering it this time. This is not helping the Democratic Party in no way, shape or form.
Starting point is 01:01:54 If y'all thought the Democratic Party was in shambles before. If the fact that, you know, Oprah Winfrey, one of the biggest, most powerful women on the planet, is like the number one contender to be the Democratic nominee. That's not a good thing. All right. They confuse me more. Also clarify what Stedman said when he said that she would absolutely do it. Here's what she meant.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Stedman says that he thought the reporter said to him, would she make a good president? And he said, absolutely, she would. That's what that's how he interpreted the question, because this is a thing. Stedman would never so cavalierly say absolutely she would do it. I don't like hearing Gayle King explain nothing. Queen King, you don't got to explain yourself to nobody. Well, she's on the news every morning, and this is a big story. And she's Oprah's best friend, so why wouldn't she?
Starting point is 01:02:36 All she got to do is say that's family business. When Oprah's ready to talk, she'll tell y'all. No, I like how she explained it. Pressing me. She explained it. All right, now, Jamil Wilson, who plays in the NBA, he's supposed to sign a contract with the Lakers today, is being sued by a woman who says that he gave her herpes
Starting point is 01:02:50 and didn't warn her that he had the disease. The woman says she started dating and having unprotected sex with him back in November of 2016, and then the next year she found out that she had herpes simplex type 2, and she's saying that it's his fault and that he knew he had herpes when they started having sex and did not disclose that information. She's suing for sexual battery and fraud,
Starting point is 01:03:10 and she also is suing for emotional distress. I hate when y'all tell me something about a person before I actually get to see them, because now as soon as I look at him, as soon as I turned around and looked at his picture, I'm like, yeah, he looks like he got herpes. Why does he look like he got herpes? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:21 There's nothing about him that says herpes. I don't even know what people with herpes look like, but just the fact she told me that, I'm like, yep, he look like he got herpes. Well don't know. There's nothing about him that says herpes. I don't even know what people with herpes look like. But just the fact she told me that, I'm like, yep, he look like he got herpes. Well, definitely a couple people in this room have it, statistically. So look around. One, two, three. Who looks like herpes? It's one and three, right?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yeah, one and three. One, two, three. One, two, three. All right. Well, you count like you have herpes. All right, Michelle Williams. She was paid less than $1,000 for some reshoots. Why are they always doing Michelle like that, man?
Starting point is 01:03:48 Stop with the Michelle jokes, man. For the movie All the Money in the World. She was in a movie? Oh, my. Remember they had to reshoot because of everything that happened with Kevin Spacey? So they had to do reshoots for the movie to get him out of the movie? Michelle? What Michelle Williams?
Starting point is 01:04:03 Oh, we're talking about the actress. Oh, I thought you were talking about Michelle from Destiny's Child. I ain, we're talking about the actress. Oh, I thought you were talking about Michelle from Destiny's Child. I ain't gonna lie, I thought she was too. I thought she was too.
