Also we had Sports analyst Jemele Hill stop by where she spoke leaving ESPN, sports, and other production projects. Also, we flashed back to the time Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to Jackie Ades the woman accused of stalking a man after a date, and we also flashed back to when Michael B.

People watch The Breakfast Club, bitches. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up.

It's 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? Hey, this is Malaya from Charleston, South Carolina. 843, what's happening? Low country, what's happening? What's up, mama?

I'm good. Okay, so I just need to get it off my chest. Okay, I just got a new job, so I moved to Greenville, South Carolina. There are so many snakes around here. You mean like physical snakes or like human beings? No, physical snakes. Oh. Like I guess somebody had some pets or something,

and they released them in the woods, so they've been coming out all over the place. And there was this really long one, like the size of like three legs on the interstate. And these white people trying to catch them as pets. So now you scared of big-ass snakes, huh? You know what? The only time I ever seen a snake get

killed was when my granddaddy went outside and chopped the head off. And I was like, I'm gonna feed that snake. You from South Carolina? You know he chopped that head off and didn't hold that snake for everybody to come look at? Charlamagne ain't talking that type of snake either. He ain't talking about that type of snake, mama. He talking about the one-eyed snake, I'm sure. I ain't talking about no one-eyed snake.

What's wrong with you? Why you thinking about one-eyed snakes early this morning? No, that's what you said. I ain't say nothing. You ain't never seen a snake before, mama? I ain't say nothing. You are kinky. Don't start that this morning, though.

Shut up, man. Oh, my gosh. I'm just going to chop that up to everybody being tired this morning. Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, this? Oh, my gosh. I'm just going to talk that up to everybody being tired this morning. Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Doris. Calling from South Dakota. I'm from Florida, but I'm not a crazy one.

Okay. Hold on. Did you just say you're calling from South Dakota, from Florida? What did you say? But you're not a crazy one. I'm calling from South Dakota, but I'm from Florida. Got you. But I ain't crazy.

All right. I want to say good morning to all three of y'all. I love y'all. Listen to y'all every morning. Buenos dias. Thank you for having no taste. Sac-pa-se to all my zoes. I want to shout out.

Ni hao ma. D2Dtops.com. I thought you talked another language to me. You know that one. No, no, no. That's my business. D2Dtops.com. Follow me on Instagram. D2Dtops underscore, oh, sorry.

d2dtops? Yeah, d2d underscore tops. Is that a sex site? And I'm super nervous. Yeah, that's my website. Why is it d2d? What does that mean? Oh, my goodness.

That's determined to demonstrate as in I thought of this business, and now I'm pursuing it and I'm doing it. Oh, okay. I thought it was like a D2D for Tops.com. Geez, kinky this morning. Hello, who's this? Yes, this is William. Hey, William. Good morning, sir.

Hello, Bill. Hey, what's going on, Shaw? What's going on, DJ Envy? What's up, man? Get it off your chest. What's the matter? Well, the first thing I want to get off my chest is that in the morning, you know, you guys say that, well, Charlamagne basically puts on

Mr. Lamassol, and he asks him to go do his spiel. And once Mr. Lamassol goes through his spiel about he'll never drop you, he's a bull, I think that's BS because I had a case just recently, and he dropped me. Who dropped you? What are you talking about? For everybody out of state, Mr. Lamassol

is an attorney here in New York City who handles a lot of personal injury cases and accidents and stuff like that. Oh, yeah, you do the commercials. I thought he was talking about the stuff you use to clean the house. I thought so, too. You mean Limassol. Yeah, I was like, what does this have to do with anything? I thought he was talking about Limassol.

Limassol is a feminine product. A lot of drums girls use Limassol. I said, y'all don't even put Limassol on the face. I was like, y'all cleaning the house together. I don't understand. Nah. Nah. Okay, what does this have to do with anything, sir? You mad at him this morning? Yeah, I'm mad at him because he says on the radio, he's a bull. He'll never

drop your case. And my case got dropped because I missed some therapy sessions. You should never miss therapy sessions. That sounds pretty irresponsible. Therapy sessions are amazing. No, no. I was hurt. Oh, you mean physical therapy? Physical therapy. Right, physical therapy. Yeah, I got hurt in an accident.

Well, call Mr. Lamassol and call his office. Call Mr. Lamassol. Yeah, I got you saying Lamassol. Yeah, call Mr. Lamassol and take this up with his office, sir. And I respect you expressing your frustration, but he is a great, outstanding, spending customer here. Pay Shalame well, all right? We care about the people, though. Absolutely. but he is a great, outstanding, spending customer here at The Breakfast Club. He pays Charlamagne well.

We care about the people, though. We do care. He spends that money, all right? But call him. Call him now. Call him. Just call him. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you've got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Nicole. Nicole, get it off your chest. Good morning, Nicole. How are you, guys?

Good, good, good. What's up, Mama? All right, real quick. Let me tell you why I'm mad. I'm just mad because of court, of course. I drove five hours to go off work for two days, and I get there, and I'm dealing with a substitute judge, and she's not familiar with my case, and so she had to dismiss it,

for which they reopened it because she's not familiar. So now I have to go back again before, I guess, a real judge. That judge was a social worker. And so she was a little lost. And to me, that's not fair. Don't put nobody up there that's not familiar with all of the laws. Wasting your time, right? Yes.

What did you do anyway? Or what are you accused of? What are you accused of? I wasn't accused. I was going to court for violation for the father not allowing me to see the child. Okay. Dang. Now, this is a role reversal.

Usually, it's the other way around. This is even strange. I actually had the child the whole time of birth up until five. And finally, I decided to reach out and say, hey, you have a son. And we did a DNA test. He's the father. And immediately, he went for custody and won because he was in the military. And he was more stable than me, which to me is crazy.

Don't be a judge that doesn't take a child from a mother. Wow. That is ridiculous. That sounds crazy. I'm going to say for you what I say to everybody. A child needs both parents, but a child definitely needs his mom. Correct. I'm sorry, Mama.

Correct. All righty. Y'all have a good day. Praying for you. Praying for you. Hello. That's crazy to have your child just taken from you. Hello.

Who's this? Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Good morning. Is this our homies your child just taken from you. Hello, who's this? Good morning. Is this our homies from California? Yes. Hey. You guys be up early. They be high. Are you high this morning too? They're not high.

No. No. Unfortunately not. Unfortunately. Alright, well get it off your chest. Well, we want to say we're blessed again. Two days in a row. And we want to give a shout out to all our five friends. Corey.

And what's it called? Aubrey. Nisha. Dante. These are all our friends that we have a little clique that we listen to the Breastnose Club all together. You have eight friends now. We're your friends now. Yay! We'll tell the gang.

Okay. Well, thank you very much. And keep your circle just that small, boo. Do we have like a group text or something going? No. Well, we kind of, we went around our little circle and told everyone that we got through the phone yesterday. And we're going to tell everyone today.

So we're cool now. Hey. All right, gang, gang. Y'all should record this to play it back later for everybody. Oh, it's on, you know, it's on the YouTube. Okay, okay. Thanks for telling us. Perfect.

Thank you, Mama. Yeah, we know it's on the YouTube, too. Thank you, though. Hello, who's this? This is Chandler from Columbus, Ohio. How y'all doing? Chandler, man. What's up?

Get it off your chest, bro. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Just been a little rough two weeks. My car went down again. Car's back in the shop, and I got to kind of hold that back because I got a trial for custody of my daughter next week, and I got to pay my lawyer three stacks, which is crazy. But just want to let everybody know it can always be worse.

All right. Well, we wish you luck, man, in court. Oh, thank you. And by the way, DJ Envy, Charlamagne bodied you in that shoulder challenge thing the other day. Hey, hey, kill him with the shoulders. But who was dressed better?

Kill him with the shoulders. Oh, DJ Envy was definitely dressed better. That's not even a fair competition. Y'all know my dressing is trash. Let's talk about the do-rag. You know, I don't be moving my shoulders like that. You know Charlamagne

more sassy than me. I wear Target t-shirts. Listen, first of all, it has nothing to do with sass. You got sass. Okay, I do have a little sass. There you go. All right, I'm a sassy savage.

There you go. I'm not on little Uzi levels, but I'm here. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Hit us up. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we're asking, you know, Kevin Gates recently got a lot of, I would say a lot of criticism for him kissing his dog. We're asking, do you mind when people kiss their dog? And do you kiss your dog? Now, Charlamagne, you don't have a dog, correct? No, I don't have a dog.

I had bad experiences with dogs growing up. I had two Rottweilers named Bear and Tara, and Tara was real, real mean. And so they ended up having to put him down. And my other Rottweiler, Bear, got poisoned by my neighbors, and he died. So I've had very bad experiences with dogs. And I had another dog named Budweiser that I found on the street. Horrible name. That was a stray, and my daddy took that to the pound, too.

So I've had bad experiences with dogs. I don't like getting my heart broke because I don't have dogs. Okay, but have you ever kissed any of them? No, I used to feed Bear gummy bears, to the pound, too. So I've had bad experiences with dogs. I don't like getting my heart broke, because I don't have dogs. Okay, but have you ever kissed any of them? No, I used to feed bear gummy bears, though. Oh, okay. Anyway, well, I have two dogs. I have an Enza Belgian Malinois, and I also have a German Shepherd named Chuck Norris.

And those dogs are dirty dogs. Like, they play outside. They play with their toys and their balls, and it's dirty. It's nasty. I would not come up to my dog and say, give me a kiss. I wonder why Kevin Gates thinks the dog's mouth is cleaner than the human's mouth. Dogs don't wake up in the morning and brush their teeth and gargle and floss and all that good stuff. He said this back to, you know, pull Dan to the mic.

Pull Dan to the mic. Dan, can you talk to the mic? Dan's fruit of the looms wearing a total bunch this morning because he could not believe that we don't kiss our dogs in the mouth. I don't have a dog, Dan. I don't think it's a big deal. You don't think it's a big deal? No. So you've kissed your dog

in the mouth before? Yes. You do it numerous occasions? Yeah, mouth closed, though. Big disclaimer. No tongue? No tongue. Okay.

If it, like, accidentally sneaks in, that's disgusting. Oh. But it's happened to you? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. That you wipe off. If it kisses your face,

it kisses your face. But when you kiss your dog, do you go, hey, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo, or do you, like... Yeah, I love my dog, man. I guess it's kind of like your child, though, right? You're not going to turn a kiss away from your child

if your dog is going to kiss you. And I don't have a kid. Your child came from your sperm. It came out to your wife or your girl's vagina. So you would taste your sperm? What? You would put your sperm on your lips? Is that what you're telling us? No. That's what it sounds like. I mean, I don't know why you even brought that up, because it's not just sperm. It's sperm and eggs that make a child.

That's what I said. I said both. I said the woman, vagina, and the man's sperm. Yeah, but you got to complete that recipe. Okay? You can't just get half the recipe. You cut me off. You're not just going to take the sperm

and rub it on your lips, are you? Technically, those are your kids. Would you kiss those kids? We always go too far, baby. Hello, who's this? This is Joshua in Augusta, Georgia. Hey, Josh, do you kiss your sperm? Absolutely not.

What? Wait a minute. No, that's not what the question was supposed to be. Oh, you're quick, buddy. You're quick. And we asked, do you kiss your dog, bro? No, absolutely not. People kill me with that because people love to be like, oh, yeah,

scientists said that, you know, there's a bacteria in their mouth. But then be the same people that be like, oh, scientists said that you should take vaccines, but, oh, yeah, scientists said that, you know, there's a bacteria in their mouth. But then be the same people that be like, oh, scientists said that you should take vaccines, but oh, I'm not taking them. But I'm like, you're taking these people word here. Have you ever done any sort of research on these clean mouths? Because they sit and lick themselves all day and eat dead animals

and all this kind of stuff on a regular basis. I mean, I don't think these guys' dogs eat dead animals now. Cabo! Yo, what's going on, man? Yo, you kiss your dog, bro? No, never. Like, I literally just seen a dog eat his own throat, bro. Like, why would somebody kiss that?

You right. And dogs be sniffing other dogs' butts too, man. And licking butts, so I don't know. Exactly, man. Nah, nah, nah. Listen, stop it off. We all ass. Don't get mad at the dog because you mad at the dog

doing what we do. All right? Hey, not me, bro. I ain't with you 2018 wave with the ass licking, man. You never ate ass. You never licked the butt, boy. Nah, bro.

I can't do it. Well, learn from your dog, man. I don't want to come out of my ass. You said what? You said what? I said I know what comes out of my ass when I eat a good burrito. So, no.

Oh, yeah. So, I understand. You wouldn't want to lick another man's ass because you know what comes out of yours. I get it. That's what you justrito. So no. Oh yeah. So I understand. You wouldn't want to lick another man's because you know what comes out of yours. I get it. That's what you just said. Goodness gracious. Hey,

how does everything go with it? But on this show, 800-585-1051. Amazing how we do that. We're talking about kissing a dog. 800-585-1051. Do you kiss dogs? Do you have a problem with it?

Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, Kevin Gates, he got a little criticism for kissing his dog. We have the audio. I don't want to talk about me kissing my dog in the mouth. I did that. A dog has a bacteria in his mouth that kills germs. A dog mouth cleaner than a human mouth. So we're asking, 805-85-1051, do you kiss your dog? I own two dogs.

I own a Belgian Malewa named Enza and a German Shepherd named Chuck Norris. I don't kiss them in the mouth. I don't. I try not to get my mouth too close to their face anyway. Really? Yeah. Just, you know, they're attack dogs. I don't want you in my face.

I don't want you in my face. I don't have any dogs. I've had bad experiences with dogs in my life. But I don't knock anybody who does let their dog lick them in the face or they kiss their dog because the dog is like your child. So it's like if your child runs up on you and tries to kiss you in the face, you're not going to say no. You didn't have to put a regal in the room. That's drum.

Drum. Because drum was upset a little bit too. I wasn't upset, first of all. You have a dog, right? I had a dog, yep. And you got a beard. I don't know what that means. What does that mean?

What does that supposed to mean? Where are we going with this? So what is that? Do you like kissing your dog in the mouth? It's not like one of my favorite pastimes or anything, but if he kisses me in the mouth, I kiss him in the mouth. Got you. Tongue?

No tongue? No tongue. All right. And what kind of dog? Cocker Spaniel? What? I mean, I don't know. I don't know.

You put your beard on your dog's sideburns? What? What? I mean, I don't know. Did you put your beard on your dog's sideburns? What? What? Daniel! Yo, what up, man? Now, you used to kiss your dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I used to, man, you know, a while ago, man. But, like I said, you know, I mean, one day, man, I swear to my dog,

the crap, man, I came inside, and I'm on the couch, and I look at the dog licking his butt, and then it kind of comes over to me like, you know, you want to lick in the mouth or something. I started thinking like, hold up man, you just got to lick your butt and taking a squat at the same time. I can't get down with that. That's not, man. I pray

that one day, I pray one day your dog walks in and sees you eating your woman's ass and then when you try to kiss your dog, he walks away from you. What? Hey, I wouldn't blame the dog. I'd be like, hey, come on, now. I just saw what you did. Get down with that. All right.

Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? This is Jason. Hey, Jason. You kiss your dog, Jason? No, I do not kiss my dog. I did a college research paper about this about 10 years ago. Talk to me.

Give us some facts. They do eat poop and they do eat very, they're not other bacteria-sensitive. Yes, there is bacteria they do eat very the milder bacteria yes there is bacteria in their mouth that does kill other bacteria but you do not have those bacteria in your mouth and there is a lot of fecal particulate that is in a dog's mouth that I would not want in my

mouth. Ooh okay what you just said is very accurate we don't have the same bacteria that dogs have in their mouth so they can eat feces and stuff we can't handle it they can eat poop they can eat dead animals because dogs have in their mouth, so they can eat feces and stuff. We can't handle it. They can eat poop. They can eat dead animals. Because the bacteria in their mouth will kill it. But the bacteria in their mouth will not kill it.

So you are eating poop if you kiss your dog in the mouth. And this is why the Breakfast Club has the best listeners, because as much ignorance as we have, call on this phone. We have smart guys like you. Thank you, sir. All right, thank you. All right.

Hello, who's this? Hey, I'm Tamara. Good morning. How y'all doing? Good morning, Tamara. Do you kiss your y'all doing? Good morning, Tamara. Do you kiss your dog on the mouth? No, absolutely not. Why not?

I think, I just think it's not, you know, my father, I don't own a dog, but my father and his wife, they have five dogs. And, you know, they keep them out of the kitchen when it's time to cook. And they're all in dogs. You know, they stay in the house and that's it. And they go outside, but they don't, they don't do none of that in the mouth stuff. That's just, that's not what we do. You know, that's in the house, and that's it. And they go outside, but they don't do none of that in-the-mouth stuff. That's just not what we do. You know, we from Texas.

We from the South. We don't do all that. True, true, true. I mean, it's not sanitary for the most part. You know, I just saw a special on Megyn Kelly on her TV show with this little boy. He was kissing the neighbor's dog, and he lost an arm because of it. I mean, it's very rare. What? Yes of it. I mean, it's very rare. What? Yes. Yeah.

I mean, it's very rare. I saw it like Friday or Thursday. Yeah, I think I heard that story. The bacteria and they were saying, yeah, I did see that. Really? Yeah, I did see that. It's very rare. They said it's very rare, but it happens. And the little boy, he lost his limb. Yeah, I did see that.

He lost his arms. Yeah, and it was very sad to hear that story. So it's just a heads up to people, you know? I mean, it can happen. Do what you do. But, you know, there's possibilities for everything. I would think that it would be way more one-armed white people in this world if the bacteria from dogs actually could make you lose limbs. You know what?

Somebody should go out there and do a study about that. You know, it ain't going to be me. We're not going to be statistics. Statistics are bad, I'll tell you that. My God. Next time I see a one-armed white person, I'm going to be thinking. That he kissed his dog? You kissed your, this guy kissed his dog in his mouth.

What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is never underestimate the power of a sloppy kiss and a wet nose on a bad day. I don't know what that means. You want to find out? No, I do not. I'm going to Human Resources. Alright. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. She's back, Ms. Jamel Hill. Hey, how y'all doing? Good morning, Jamel. Thank you all for having me. You changed so drastically from when you were here last. I know, right? Exactly. I hope it wasn't us. No, no, it wasn't you guys at all.

But a little bit different circumstances than the last time I was here. Now, with ESPN, was it like a Jeff Sessions situation where they asked you to resign? You're just going to get right into it, huh? Like, no warm-up? No chit-chat? Like, we just want to get that out the way. No pass, just right into it. No congratulations.

Thank you. Like, you at least said that. Congratulations. For getting rich? Yeah, listen. Oh at least said that. Congratulations. For getting rich? Yeah, listen. Oh, yeah, she got rich. Yes, man, and to cut the joke. You can't talk about that, I'm sure.

It was a thing. It was. Look, I know when you hear amicable party, everybody immediately calls like this is BS, like this is not the case. But in this case, it really was. I mean, I've been there 12 years, so obviously I love the place. It's the longest job I've ever had. It's the best job I've ever had. And I think it's sort of, I compare it to a relationship.

And I'm sure you guys have experienced this where, you know, you're in love with somebody, but you realize that you have no business being together. Right? So we loved each other. We had no business being together. Not at this point. So we had just kind of reached the end of the road. I know that feeling.

Sometimes you love your job and what it is that you do, but you don't love other things that come with that behind the scenes. Well, I think for me, it was just what I didn't love is that I felt a little constrained in the sense that there was just such a bigger opportunity to do more. And I realized that ESPN, I mean, they're a sports network. They're there to serve fans and to put on games. And we're there to talk about, you know, results.

But especially in this climate, there was just a lot more that I just kind of wanted to get mixed up in. And I knew the things I wanted to get mixed up in was not going to be good business for them. Were you surprised with the good streets? No, because they're considering what the company is about. Yeah, they probably should be there. I thought I just kind of reached a point where I wanted to be a little more active, a little more vocal,

and not have to worry about an email chain starting every time I said something. How tone deaf were the people at ESPN to where they say, don't talk about politics, when the head of state is talking about sports? So if the head of state is talking about sports, then why wouldn't sports journalists talk about politics? See, this is the thing, though. I know that people have looked at the comments that have been made by the current president, Jimmy Pataro, and even by the chairman of Disney, Bob Iger. I think people took what they said a little bit too literally. Never did I hear that when it made sense, when it was newsworthy not to talk about these things. Because, you know, when the president inserts himself in the NFL anthem issue

and all these other things concerning sports, you have to talk about it. That's your job and role as a journalist. You have to go into the White House. You have to talk about it because that's newsworthy, right? The people that complained about ESPN being too political, A, probably didn't appreciate the viewpoint being expressed. So they had an issue with the issues being discussed and the point of view being taken. And it was just lazy and dumb and a stupid narrative because it's not like when you turn to,

like when we were on the 6 o'clock SportsCenter, Mike and I were talking about illegal immigration. Or we were talking about health care. Like none of that ever happened. Like we were talking about sports and anything having to do with politics or social justice involving sports were well within the frame of news. Do you feel like you were done wrong by ESPN in any way? Not at all. ESPN changed my life.

You know, and I mean obviously it changes your fortune a little bit. We saw Boss Up report $6 million. I ain't getting into all of that. I'm not getting into all of that. And I know they check and they fact check everything. I'm not getting into all of that. I'm not getting into all of that. And I know they check and they fact check everything. I'm not getting into all of that. I am not here to

confirm any of those details, alright? I just want everybody out there to know, may I just say again, you never heard a figure come out of my mouth, alright? Boss said six million. And we've never heard you say it's not true either. Again, no figures have come out of my mouth, alright? Because I feel like if it wasn't true, you'd be like, that's just a rumor.

We know legally she can't say in a mouth. But here's the thing, though. You did move to L.A. too. Now, that ain't no, that's not a cheap move. L.A. ain't cheap. Look, I got about 25 hustles out here because I'm out here. Doing the LeBron documentary. Shut Up and Dribble.

Shut Up and Dribble, which is available on Showtime on demand. Thought I'd throw that in there. And I'm also, you know, a staff writer at The Atlantic. So I got jobs, you know, I'm out here. And you have your own production company. I have my own production company. You work with Gabrielle Union. Thank you.

I mean, I'm trying to, a friend of mine once told me a long time ago that you got to have five hustles. So I got three, so I need two more. So if y'all got something for me, you know, let me know. All right. We can all invest in some stuff. You know what I'm saying? You got six million. I want to talk about some of the hustles you mentioned. You do have

a scripted show I heard with Kelly Carter coming? Yeah, so we're working on a scripted comedy that's being developed by Sony, also with Gabrielle Union as a producer, not as in front of the camera. This is the thing, you know, as a journalist,

you're a storyteller. And you guys know, you know, you collect some crazy stories the longer you're in the media game. And, you know, being a black creative now is hot in Hollywood. This is like a totally different sort of experience than I think than what it used to be.

And so looking at Netflix dropping that Billy on content and Hulu and Amazon and all these different places, we wanted to get into storytelling, but doing it in a little bit of a different way. All right, we got more with Jameel Hill. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Jameel Hill in the building. Yee. You know what I wanted to ask you about? I thought about you yesterday, right? I was at the Gracie Awards, and they honored Pam Oliver. She was the keynote speaker.

And I hear this all the time from women who have to work in sports, who choose to work in sports, how much harder it is because, and especially being a black woman working in sports, not just from people that weigh in and comment on your abilities, but also from coworkers. Like she talked about the beginning of her career, which is, you know, earlier than the beginning of your career. But just even like offering her services to help out and no one wanted her help just because she was a black woman. What has your experience been like? Well, there is definitely a level of scrutiny and criticism that you face that will be a lot different

than the men. And I don't know how we got to this point or I just always was amused by the fact that even though for many years I worked alongside men that never played professional sports, I had a better high school sports career than a lot of them did. I started every year I was in high school. That's what I'm talking about.

I had some little small college offers and a lot of dudes didn't even do that, but yet, when it comes to talking about sports and being involved in sports, for some reason, we think your level of sports knowledge is directly related to your genitalia, and that's just not the way that it works. And so,

you know, for me, I had to of course realize that a lot of times when I write something or my commentary, especially if it's going against what conventional male analysts say then you have to be prepared for the fact that people are going to say that's why women shouldn't talk about sports I remember and and I still like to you know the few times I'm actually right about things I still like to lord this over folks I remember when Khalil Mack was coming out in the draft, and I saw him play against Ohio State, and he was the best player on the field.

And I was like, look, I know Jadavion Clowney had, you know, the hit of all hits against Michigan, but, like, Khalil Mack is the best player in this draft. Man, so many dudes ripped me to shreds for saying that. All I got to say is how you like me now, because Khalil Mack is probably the best defensive player in the league. Him or Aaron Donald. That's interesting, though, because Skip Bayless ain't never right about nothing.

He's entertaining, and I've been watching him for years, but I cannot think of one time Skip Bayless has been right about something. You know, he had told a few things here and there, but that's what I'm saying, is that he has an edgy opinion, and while he is ridiculed for that opinion at times,

but it's still more welcome for him to have that kind of opinion as opposed to me. And we all make mistakes at times, right, and report things that may not be true or make a mistake. Do you feel that? I have bad predictions. It's okay. I'm not saying it's just a prediction. I just predicted the Giants was going to win this year.

We knew that wasn't true. But I'm saying the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl every year for the past 20 years. But do you feel like you get attacked a lot more? Oh, absolutely. When that happens. Because when I do, it's just like, again, it's supposed to be some kind of indictment

of my gender's involvement in sports. Do you think the media will ever respect opinions from strong black women? That's a good question. Kind of hard, too, when your president doesn't seem to, right? I would say that's going to always be a slippery slope for most black women because when we express an opinion,

especially a strong point of view in general, we're angry or we're loud or we're fitting a certain stereotype. So I just think in certain spaces, yes, but in most spaces, probably not. I want to go to the NBA. Is the NBA fun anymore? No.

Is it fun anymore, or does that team win the next five years, seven years, eight years? No, you need a villain. And look, this rift that's going on between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. I don't understand that. I don't, but yet I sort of do, and it's not one of those things I think is going to blow over easily. What is it about? How did it start? Well clearly that the real tension is in the fact that Kevin Durant is coming up on some

free agency and clearly Draymond Green feels some kind of way about the fact that he has not eliminated some of the speculation and hasn't shut it down and has allowed it to be a storyline and let's just talk money Draymond Green is going to be up soon,

and he could get a max deal. They can't keep everybody. You have Klay. Somebody got to leave. Somebody is going to be left without a chair. We'll take Klay and the Knicks. Look at him. Nobody coming here, man.

By the way, whichever one of them leaves, they're going to L.A. to play with Bron. Whether it's Kevin Durant or Draymond. So let me ask you this. What would be the reaction if Kevin Durant went to play with LeBron James? I don't think people would care no more. I'm going to tell you what. I think people are over that.

I think after LeBron's decision and Kev going to Golden State, I don't think people are surprised by any moves. Man, people are still on KD's head about going to Golden State and taking the quote-unquote easy way route. I don't know what's on KD's head. None of us have figured that out yet. See? See?

I'm going to just keep it to sports. What's your relationship with LeBron like? Because now that you're narrating his film, his documentary, some people might feel like, well, now she's not gonna say nothing negative about LeBron because they work together. No, no. I mean, I think he understands the function

of what my job is. And I've always had this attitude, regardless of whether or not I had the sort of working relationship that I had with LeBron or not, is that I'm never going to say something on television or write something about an athlete I can't say to their face.

Right? And I think it's just a good guideline for journalists to have because regardless, even if a guy is not necessarily good, I have enough professional respect for the amount of work that they have put in

to get to that point. Because it's hard to be a professional. And so I understand that. And even when I'm talking to coaches, I never come into this situation like I know more than them. I don't. I never can. Because they practice at this craft much longer. Now that doesn't mean that I'm not going to ask Pete Carroll why he ain't handed the ball to Marshawn Lynch.

Because we could all see he should have handed the ball to Marshawn Lynch. But that being said, there's just a mutual respect there. As for LeBron, even though I'm narrating this documentary, LeBron and I, we ain't going to the mall together. We know and are aware of who each other

is and we've had conversations before in the past. I just thank him for honestly allowing me to have this opportunity to narrate this documentary because as you notice you don't hear a lot of women narrating sports documentaries and so not only to pick a woman but to pick a black woman

I think that says a lot about who he is and what's important to him Alright we got more with Jamil here when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club Good morning. Good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have Jemele Hill in the building. Charlamagne? Do you think Draymond should have gotten suspended for arguing with Kevin Durant? That's his teammate. Well, the fact that he did get suspended lets you know the seriousness of it. And that's why I said this thing is not going to blow over. I think there's some real animosity there. And even hearing how Kevin Durant responded when asked if he and Draymond had talked,

the fact that they hadn't. Any NBA player would tell you through a course of a season, it's a grind. And even if you've won a lot together, you've spent a lot of time together. You know, it's like familiarity breeds contempt. That's what they often say or contempt rather. And so I think there are some issues that they had there. And Draymond, you know, he has a very forceful personality. And he's always at guys. And he had just made a mistake.

Kevin Durant was. And then it was like, so why are you out here letting the speculation ride a free agency? It's like, whoa, dude, what's the real issue here? And so that leads me to believe that this is not just one of those arguments that take place, that takes place during the course of the season. We might be looking at how their team winds up ending this dynasty. The downfall of the dynasty. Kevin going to L.A.

Kevin or Draymond going to L.A. Also with the dynasty, right? I don't understand why people get upset when Golden State wins every year. We all grew up in the 90s. We grew up with the Bulls winning six championships. The Bulls won every year. This doesn't feel like a fight. What do you mean?

You're saying it's not interesting. It's not interesting at all. Who really challenged the Bulls during that run? Thank you. It's like, Mike, we knew that was a foregone conclusion. He was winning. Was it a so-called all-star team, or did he put those players and make those players better? Why does it matter?

It does. No, it doesn't. Mike never been to a game seven in the finals. We knew what Mike was going to do in the NBA finals. It does matter. It does matter. Everybody's scoring 30, and nobody commits. Well, the Knicks aren't going to get it.

Shout out. How do you feel about Nike doing a Well, the Knicks aren't going to get it. Shout out. How do you feel about Nike doing a deal with Colin Kaepernick? I love it. But I want people to understand this. They didn't do it

out of charity. They didn't do it because they have a social conscience. They did it to make money. That's it. Look at how that emerged. Some people might have thought

that it wouldn't make money. No, they knew. I mean, it's Nike. Like, they look into market research. And one of the things that's always bothered me whenever there's discussions about Colin Kaepernick is we spend so much time talking about people who dislike his dance and the detractors not realizing, like, he has a huge fan base. For all the idiots out there burning those Mallwalker 11s or whatever, there are twice as many people who would buy anything with Colin Kaepernick's name or likeness on. The t-shirts that he has for Nike, they're already gone. You can't even get those things.

Do you think another company was trying to step up and even do it? I do. There were a couple. I do. I completely believe that because he can still generate buzz. I mean, the amount of media attention, what they say was almost $200 million that he generated for Nike in two days. So wherever he goes, he's somebody who's so polarizing that he's going to draw from both sides. He's going to have his fans that are going to ride for him.

And the people that don't like him are still going to pay attention to his every move. So he's sort of in the perfect space in that regard. But it was, you know, a bold decision by Nike and ultimate troll move for his first commercial running that first week of the NFL season. That was brilliant checkmate. I'm glad he did the deal. I just don't like people acting like Nike is the new black power fist. Nah, nah, man. They need to relax on that. I also don't like

along those same lines, people thinking that you have to be broke if you're an activist. I've had conversations with both Tommy Smith and John Carlos about what life was like for them after they raised the fist. They couldn't afford to feed their families. And they

couldn't get jobs and they were ostracized in this country. and that put them under financial hardship part of the reason why Colin Kaepernick is able to keep his activism in this fight going is because he has financial leverage because he made the money in San Francisco because you know he could probably have any speaking engagement he wants and commands any dollar figure because Nike is is continuing to give him a contract. That's part of what gets this and keeps him in the news and keeps this conversation, this very important conversation going. So just because you stand for something doesn't mean that

your checking account has to be on zero because some people are trying to say that he's trying to profit off being involved in social justice issues when I think he's just doing the smart thing. And not to mention his jersey sales with the NFL, he donated all of that to different social justice causes. So he's put his beliefs and his money, they've certainly aligned. Well, Jamal, since we're talking about decisions, right, leaving teams, let's talk about you for a second. Are you feeling great and comfortable now not being in front of the camera and being more behind the scenes?

Do you like that better? I do. I mean, I want better is relative. And I want people to understand I haven't retired from television. OK, right now I'm just sort of mulling my options and thinking about what makes the most sense. I've never this is a very foreign stage for me in my career. Like I came up under the umbrella of traditional media. So I'm used to working for just one place. That's where the paycheck is coming from, representing just them. And then that's it.

I'm now building my career more a la carte. All right. And so, you know, as you mentioned, I have the production company writing for the Atlantic, mulling some podcast opportunities as well, and thinking about what direction I want my television career to go. Now you could produce your own TV show. I could, but most of the stuff that I want to do with the production company does not involve me being front-facing talent because I still want to tell stories. That's the whole reason I became a journalist.

And so the other part of it, I think for me too, is one thing I think I learned over the last year, year and a half, is that I don't know that I ever want to be sort of solely owned by one entity. You know, my greatest asset is my versatility. And as you guys know, there's a lot of companies that you work for that won't let you do other things. And I don't know if I want to be under that kind of constraint again. So luckily... But now you walk in demanding what you want because you're in a situation where you don't need to have something else.

And you can say, look, I already have this, this, and that going on. I already got $6 million on the side. See, there y'all go, man. Y'all gonna have relatives I ain't never heard calling me after doing this show. They got bossa. They start on bossa.

I feel like God moved you for a reason though because you are so talented. Everything happens for a reason. You cannot be handcuffed to ESPN. Mel Hill has too much to offer the world. Everything happens for a reason. I'm a big believer in that and I definitely believe in the adage of when God closes a door

he opens a window, right? That's why I'm able or was able to leave ESPN with a great deal of peace of mind because I knew I was in the exact place that I was supposed to be. I appreciate you guys for having me. Well, thank you for stopping through.

I love having a millionaire woman in the room, you know, so we appreciate you. Who, you? Because of y'all too. You said a millionaire, a $6 million woman. Millionaire, a millionaire.

You don't act like you don't got it. It's Jamil Hill. Yes. It's The Breakfast Club. Thank you for stopping through. E.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Jada Pinkett Smith.

She did an interview with Sway, and they were talking about Will's ex. Let's see what they had to say. You know, she's gone on vacations with Will without me, with Trey. You know what I mean? Because I feel as though Trey needs to feel that dynamic between his two parents. That's very important that he can feel that connection and feel, you know, where they do meet. So that he can feel, you know, that parental connection. While you're married with Will, they've been on vacation together.

Yes, they have. They actually just came off of one. So, Charlamagne, what do you think? Well, first of all, I want to drop on a clues bomb for Jada Pinkett Smith. I am a Pinkett Smith, Winfrey knows Carter.

I feel like I respect the fact that she's secure in hers enough and she trusts Will enough that he will go on this trip and do the right thing because I really don't think I have a problem with two parents co-parenting.

Even if both of those parents have moved on and they're married to somebody else, I don't have a problem with them co-parenting and still doing things with the child. Right, that's cool. And I think that Vacation is a different step though. I mean, it's really not. Not if you trust your partner and you really feel like nothing is going on between these two

and you feel like they're just going to go out and have fun with the child. I don't think there's anything wrong with that whatsoever. I really don't. Me personally, would I be for that? No, but I'm still dealing with a lot of my own insecurities. My emotional intelligence is high, but sometimes I can get a little sensitive. You know what I'm saying? I'm a cancer.

I don't think I can deal with that. I'm with you. Yeah, You know what I'm saying? I'm a cancer. You know what I mean? I don't think I can deal with that. I'm with you. Yeah, I know what I'm supposed to say. I'm supposed to be like, sure, go ahead, go on out. But y'all have a great time. Matter of fact, you know what? Just hit me when you hit me. Just bring me back a souvenir.

Nah, B, that's not how I feel. But they've been together a long time, bro. Will and Jay have been together a long time. And it's always been the rumors that they swing. Right. So, you know, you wouldn't give a damn if he went out with his ex-baby mama. If that was their relationship and they swang, yeah, that's cool.

But I don't think I'm that secure, bro. I'm just not. That's why I say I respect Jada's security level and the fact that she trusts Will that much. And I gotta see the baby mama. I gotta see how she looks. Baby mama might not be popping.

You right. That could be a lot to do with it too. And that's part of it. Because think about it. If she not attractive. You ain't tripping. She ain't been working out lately. You ain't tripping.

Go ahead. You ain't tripping. I don't know what Will's baby mama look like. You know what I'm saying? So that factors in it too. I thought about that. But that's just my superficial ass right now. Now think about it.

Let's say Will Smith's baby mama. Let me see. Somebody thought about that. But that's just my superficial ass right now. Now, think about it. Let's say Will Smith, baby mama, let me see, somebody Charlamagne likes. Nicole Murphy. Nicole's all right. She cool. Now she just cool?

Now would you let, would it still be cool? I'm more of a Kelly Rowland type of person. Ah, that's because they say Kelly Rowland. But you know, Kelly's married,

so no need for us to have that conversation. You know what, I'm not messing with you. And I'm married, so no need for us to have that conversation. Forget it.

Just forget it. You know, that's why, I mean, I still consider Kelly Rowland the Godiva chocolate goddess,, I'm not messing with you. And I'm married, so no need for us to have that conversation. Forget it, just forget it. You know, that's why, I mean, I still consider Kelly Rowland the Godiva chocolate goddess, but... Oh, right, forget it. I see what you're saying. Forget it.

I see what you're saying. You messed up my scenario. By the way, if my baby mama looked like Kelly Rowland, she would not be my ex-baby mama, she would be my wife. Let's be clear about that, okay? All right.

I'm not even playing this game with you, brother. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Stacey. Hey, Stacey, good morning. Good morning. Would you let your man go on vacation with his ex? I definitely would. I think Jada's right that they need to have that dynamic between Trey by themselves.

I definitely agree with that. I kind of agree with you. I mean, you know, the sensitive side of me, the insecure side, says hell no. Hell no. But the mature adult side that's been going to therapy and can deal with my insecurities says yes, I don't have a problem with that. I'm in the middle, bro. I don't know.

Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, mama. Now, would you let your ex go on vacation with his baby mama? No, I wouldn't. I would have to be in that same hotel, same resort. I'd have to be close. Then why? same resort. I'd have to be close. Then why?

Why are you so insecure? Why are you so insecure? You don't trust them? Well, I do trust them, but still, I mean. You insecure like all of us. Well, I heard y'all, neither one of y'all would let y'all spouse go. So don't act like I'm just sideways. You insecure with us.

All right, we just asking. I'm just saying. So, no, I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. But I feel like in their case, that's a wife. And they seem to be working on their relationship for a long time. So we don't know what they got going on. Damn. Thank you, mama.

I don't think they swingers up. That's always been the rumor. I don't know. Okay. Thank you. Like y'all said, the rumor is always better than the truth. Especially when it's more entertaining. Y'all have a good morning. I like you now, mama.

800-585-1051. Now, would you let your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your wife, your husband go on vacation without you with their ex because they have a baby together for the sake of the baby? Would you? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. the guy we are the breakfast club now if you just joined us we're talking jada pinkett smith she did an interview with sway and she was talking about will smith's ex and them going on vacation without her let's listen you know she's gone on vacations with will without me with trey you know what i mean because i feel as though Trey needs to feel that dynamic between his two parents. That's very important that he can feel that connection and feel, you know, where they do meet. So that

he can feel, you know, that parental connection. While you're married with Will, they've been on vacation together. Yes, they have. They actually just came off of one. I'm going to be honest, man. I've been thinking about this. Okay. I've been thinking about this and I had to remove myself out of this situation

and think if I was Jada and Will and how long we've been together and if I had an ex-baby mama, I don't think I would have a problem with this, bro. And the reason I would not have a problem with this is because you do have to trust your significant other. You have to be secure and you have to have the utmost confidence that your significant other would do the right thing.

But the number one factor for me would be how does the ex-baby mama look? If the ex-baby mama is banging, then I don't know if I'd put my man in that position. See, and I was thinking the same thing. Like, I trust my wife. Go. But now what happened if her ex is Michael B. Jordan? Or her ex is, what's the name? Shamal Moore or one of them brothers that's all chiseled up.

One of them guys you think is sexy? Yes. No doubt. Yes, one of them guys that is sexy. One of them guys you think is sexy. No doubt. One of them guys that is sexy. Yeah.

I don't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. Michael B. Jordan is your wife's ex.

You know why I would be so insecure about that situation? Why? Because why you left this for me? Okay, you know what I'm saying? Like, why you left that for me? You know what I'm saying? I can't be that nice of a guy. I don't make you laugh that much.

Right. You know what I'm saying? Why? Why did you leave him for me? That's what would make me insecure about that whole situation. I mean, maybe. Because I would never. Maybe he left her.

Maybe. I would never be secure in our relationship because I would be wondering why you left him for me. Michael B. Jordan chilling there on the beach shirt off. Nah. Your wife coming out with your kids. Okay, alright, enough. Take calls. Alright. Before I get upset. Hello, who's this? Female.

Hey, would you let your man go on vacation with his ex? No. Why not? I chose my man, but I don't chose what her intentions might be. Hmm. Okay. Will's son is 26 years old. I mean, what are they going to do on vacation this year that they haven't done in the past 25 years? They probably never went on vacation.

That's the thing. And the fact that he is so old, you don't need to go. You don't need to go on vacation. Go on vacation by yourself. Hello, who's this? Yeah, my name's Chloe. I'm calling in because I feel like on some first steps, some parents do need to sit down when their kids get of age,

especially if they going to college or they got life plans that's going on. And they need to sit down and figure out what's going on with their kids. A lot of black parents don't communicate well when it comes to parenting. So I wouldn't have an issue with my child's father. Me and him have gray rapport. He got kids by other women. But me and him can sit down, have a drink. We can smoke, talk about our kids, figure out, you know, school plans,

stuff that they involved in. You know, it's bigger than just being sexual sometimes when you got kids. I agree. So let me ask you a question. Would you let your man go on vacation with his ex with their child without you? Right now I really wish he would be able to go on

a trip with his ex because he doesn't really get to see his daughter like that. Maybe they could sit down in a car and see how happy their daughter is to have them together. That's real. Things would be better if you could sit down and see your kids smile and know like my parents is cool because I didn't have that

growing up. I said when I had kids, me and my kids father ain't been together for five, six years now, but when he called my phone, I pick up. When he emailed me about his kid or some hall worker, some package, I'm emailing back. When his father daughter dance, I'm communicating because he is just as

important as I am to my daughter. And we need to look beyond all this, oh, no, they might be having sex. He's not even attracted to me no more. You're right. All right. Well, thank you, Mama. You know, Detroit in the building, whatever. I'm in Charlotte. Love you, Derek. What up, though?

Hey, y'all. What up, though? What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is I guess we have to stop being so insecure. Yeah, you're right. You know what I'm saying? I respect the level of security that Jada Pinkett Smith is showing by allowing Will Smith to go on a date with her. Not a date, a vacation with his ex. Yeah.

But I still got to see what his ex-baby mama look like, though. I got to see how much willpower Will Smith got. All right. All right. But Will seems like a highly enlightened individual. Right. Like, if anybody can go out and have a good time with his ex-wife, it's Will Smith. But you know what, man?

The more I think about it, as I get older and I get mature, I don't have those crazy urges like that. Because in a way, it's like when you go out of town by yourself. You're right. When I go out of town for the weekend by myself and my wife not around, there's plenty of opportunity to do some BS. I'm just not with it right now. Right now, you're not with it no more ever.

I'm not with it no more ever. There you go. And Will Smith, about 10, 15 years. No, how old is Will Smith? How old is Will? He up there. He about 10 years older than me? No, I wouldn't say 10.

He about six, seven years older than you. No way. Yeah, Will Smith like 40. We'll got to be damn near 50. Is he? Yeah. Like 45, 46, 47. We'll got to be damn near 50, at least. Yeah. Like 45, 46, 47. We'll got to be damn near 50, at least.

So all I'm saying is, how old is he? 49. Oh, yeah, you're right. So he's- 10 years older. 10 years older than me. So all I'm saying with Will Smith is, if he's tired at 49, or if I'm tired at 39, I know Will's tired at 49.

He's tapped out, all right? Exactly. That's all I'm saying. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Continue the adventure with Lutz Scamander as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore to stop the dark wizard Grindelwald's plans

to divide the wizarding world. Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of Grindelwald. Now playing, rated PG-13. You don't get a date. Yeah, you dumbass. You get dunked. Yeah, you dumbass. Yeah, you dumbass. 13. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. The breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today?

All right, listen, man. Charlemagne Tha God here. I'm on vacation. I don't give a damn what y'all think about that because I deserve it. Now, the breakfast club is in 80-plus markets in 150 countries, so we have a lot of new listeners who probably don't even know who Charlemagne Tha God is. So use my time off to catch up on some of my past work. Okay? Okay.

If you're new here, I do a segment every day called Donkey of the Day. Donkey as in jackass. And that's when I give someone the credit they deserve for being stupid. So if you never heard of it, this is new to you. But if you are a regular listener, then this is an oldie but goodie because it's the best of the Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day goes to a young woman from Arizona named Jacqueline Adeline ideas she's 31 years old and was arrested on suspicion of stalking and harassing a man she met online uh let me tell you something man we have all dealt with someone in our lives who just

wasn't into us the way we were into them okay it happens but i was always taught to you know never make someone a priority if you only remain that option well jacqueline didn't get that memo at all okay in fact jacqueline is a harsh reminder to tell us that there is levels to thirst. Okay. As humans, we all have a basic instinct when it comes to thirst. All right. A natural craving for fluids, but that's not the level of thirst I'm talking about. I'm talking continuous dehydration.

I'm talking a deficit of total body water. I'm talking about the kind of dehydration that happens when free water loss exceeds free water intake. What are the causes about the kind of dehydration that happens when free water loss exceeds free water intake. What are the causes of this kind of dehydration? Well, usually it's due to exercise, disease, high environmental temperatures, but most commonly caused by a new

love interest. Okay? A new bae or the prospect of a new bae can make the most hydrated amongst us thirsty. Alright? And Jacqueline is just another example of that. See, Jacqueline met a man on a dating website. She said they went on a few dates, and Jacqueline immediately felt like she had met her soulmate.

Whoa. Here's the thing about that whole soulmate thing. Both parties have to feel that way. Okay, if you feel like I'm your soulmate and I feel like you're just some chick I'm smashing for the summer, the fastest way to make me moonwalk out of this situation is to say to me, you're my soulmate. Do you realize you can scare a man away with that kind of talk too early?

Go on a couple dates with a woman, and then have that woman tell you you want to get married. All right? Tell that man you want to have his baby. Tell him you feel like y'all a soul mage. And then watch that man quickly fade away like an Avenger after Thanos gets all the Infinity Stones. Okay? Well, that's clearly what happened in this situation.

But Jacqueline refused to fade to dust without a fight. Let's go to azfamily.com for the report, please. Woman accused of stalking and threatening a family man she met online after they went on only one date. Police say she blew up his phone with 65,000 text messages. Jacqueline Addis claims she went on three dates with a Paradise Valley man she met through an online dating service for millionaire matchmaking. Court records say Addis sent the victim 65,000 text messages, including threats to kill him, wear his body parts, and bathe in his blood.

Addis does not deny the volume of text messages. She did, however, regret the nature of some of those messages. Addis said she never intended to hurt or scare the victim, and she doesn't blame him for her incarceration. Jacqueline Addis is being held in jail without bond. 65,000 text messages. That's crazy. 65,000 text messages. Like, how do you even

send, I don't even think I've sent that many text messages in my life. My man. I didn't block her. My man, exactly. My man who was receiving those texts. At what point do you decide you may need to block this number? 65,000 texts, bruh. Crazy. I'm blocking your number if you talk spicy to me after three to four texts. All right, 65,000?

Ladies, please don't ever come across this part. All right, remember Law 36 and the 48 Laws of Power. Disdain things you cannot have. Ignoring them is the best revenge. All right, get fly on his ass. All right, just make sure you don't block him on social media so he can see you shining. Act like you're having a ball without him, and I guarantee he will hit you up. But whatever you do, don't sound like this, okay?

This is Jacqueline Addis live from jail. Let's hear what she had to say. I felt like I met my soulmate and everything was just the way it was. And I thought we would just do what everybody else did and we would just, like, get married and everything would be fine. But that's not what happened. So you're not angry with him? No. Oh, my God, no. I love him so much. I just want to would be fine, but that's not what happened. So you're not angry with him? No.

Oh, my God, no, I love him so much. I just want to love him so much, that's it. And if he doesn't like it, then I'll go home and I'll love my ex-boyfriend. What am I supposed to do? The point of love is to keep giving it. That's the math equation. It's love equals 3.3, which is infinity, times e equals mc squared, which is light. Light is forever. If love was a number, it would be 3. So it's infinity times light, which is infinity, times E equals MC squared, which is light. Light is forever. If love was a number, it would be three.

So it's infinity times light, which is also infinity. So it's just forward, forever forward. And if you're selfish, you can't understand that because you want something in return. He's not giving me anything in return, and I still love him anyway. That's what love is. That's what the universe is supposed to be made of. When you're finding love, not everything is perfect.

This was a journey and i want to apologize because nobody would ever be more sorry see i don't understand guys crazy that deal with that kind of crazy because that kind of crazy didn't just come out of nowhere all right it had to be a sign of that type of crazy when y'all first started kicking it with each other i got a homeboy right now who's dealing with some crazy. And early, early, early on in the relationship, he found out that this young woman left her children in her crib by themselves so she could go check on her other dude at the club.

Right? What? Isn't that a sign of crazy? How old were the kids? Yeah, toddlers. That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. So when they show you that in the beginning

and then it escalates to things even worse, that's kind of your fault because you had to see this type of crazy coming. Those are red flags. Kids, this summer, remember there's a fine line between interest and stalking and let's just all stay on the right side of that, okay?

Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Jacqueline the biggest hee-haw. Now, did she say that she's just going to go back to her ex? Did she say that? Play that type of crazy again. Yeah, she said she's going to go back to the ex. I did say that. I felt like I met my soulmate and everything was just the way it was.

And I thought we would just do what everybody else did. And we would just like get married and everything would be fine. But that's not what happened. So you're not angry with him? No. Oh my God, no. I love him so much. I just want to love him so much.

That's it. And if he doesn't like it, then I'll go home and I'll love my ex-boyfriend. What do I say? What? Now if I'm the ex-boyfriend, I got to beat up the new boyfriend. The new guy. No. I'm sure the ex-boyfriend doesn't want her either now if i'm the ex-boyfriend i gotta beat up the new boyfriend um no i'm sure the ex-boyfriend doesn't want her either no no because i don't want no no don't come back to me you're basically saying i'm trying to upgrade but if the bank don't give me the loan you know i'm gonna stay in the car that i'm in okay i'm not gonna buy a new car

morning everybody is dj mv angela yee chara God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I'm telling you. Sex symbol extraordinaire. I think I should have said that. That was something Yee should have said. Shut up. My God. Sex symbol extraordinaire.

Y'all know good and well all the ladies and all the fellas like Michael B. Jordan. Ask him to take his shirt off now. Oh, man. He just out the window. Real quick, real quick. I ain't say all that. You guys, this is awkward.

Jesus Christ. There's a movement going on now and you guys can't just harass Michael B. Jordan. That's right, you had to say that, I mean, you had to say it, you had to say it, you had to say it. How are you, sir? I'm doing good, man. How has your life changed since Black Panther?

It's insane. It's, you know, kind of known before. I guess now it's just, I can't go anywhere. Malls off limits, you know what I'm saying? Postmates, you know what I'm saying? My Postmates bill went through the roof. I'm in the house. It's just, it's incredible.

Especially with the kids, the next generation, man. Just seeing them, kind of, how excited they've been, you know, after seeing the movie and just kind of their reaction to me walking around has been pretty incredible. That buried me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from ships because they knew death was better than bondage. Who wrote that line? That was Ryan, man.

Wow. Yeah, Ryan Coogler, he's incredible, man. We just wanted to, you know, really get the essence of what Killmonger was trying to say. And, you know, going iner was trying to say. Going in chains, trying to live, it wasn't really on his agenda. He was willing to die for what he believed in.

Going out like his ancestors did was proving his point. I think he won. I think he got his point across in the end. You see T'Challa actually go back to Oakland, buy the buildings, really open up the borders of Wakanda. That was Killmonger's victory, I want to say. You said you had to keep a diary during the time that you did Black I'm saying, by the buildings, really like, you know, open up the borders of Wakanda. So that was, you know, Killmonger's victory, I want to say. You said you had to keep a diary during the time that you did Black Panther.

Yeah, for most of my characters in general, not for television but for film, I like to write a diary from like the earliest memory of a character up until the first page of the script. It just kind of gives me like a back story, a subtext to always know where my characters are at. So I always kind of like keep those. So I got like a, you know, a crate full of like, you know,

me notebooks of like all my characters that I've played thus far. And it's kind of, you know, memories for me. You going to do anything with that, you think, one day? Oh, no, maybe. Like maybe when it's all said and done or like, you know, at the end of it, you know, something that people kind of look back on and just kind of get a subtext to all the characters that I, that's actually a good idea.

I don't know, maybe something like that. Never really thought about it like that. Well, let's break it down. Let's go to the beginning. What made, made what made what introduced you to this character why did you want to play kill more right cool yeah I mean he just called me up was like your mic you know nothing nah it was like we wasn't even um just as soon as he got the job pretty much he hit me up a little bit after that. And I'm just like, yo, you want to play this, you know,

Killmonger, you know what I'm saying, a villain? I think it'd be a good move for me. I was like, all right, cool. Was you into comics? Was you into? Yeah, I was a big comic book guy growing up. Marvel or DC? More Marvel.

Okay. I mean, I always liked, like, Batman, you know what I'm saying? Batman might have been the best one. The best one, you know what I'm saying? He was like, for me, he was just the smartest. He was always, like, ahead of everybody else. He had ways to kill everybody, just in case they started tripping. I always thought that was, like, super dope. But Marvel was always, like, top, for me, he was just the smartest. He was always like ahead of everybody else. He had ways to kill everybody just in case they started tripping. I always thought that was like super dope.

But Marvel was always like top notch. But they were jumping out the window online saying Batman can beat Thanos. That ain't happening. No, never. No, no, no. He's not that smart. It wasn't going to happen. So I've always been a big comic book guy growing up.

So playing Killmonger was like a no brainer for sure. And it was my first time playing a villain. How did you prepare for the role? Like, did you have to bulk up? Was it a lot of training? Did you watch a lot of videos of black men getting shot by police? Did you really get angry at white people? Nah, I mean, that's not too hard.

You know what I'm saying? For me, it was more or less, sorry, allergies. A little cocaine? Nah, just allergies. Not just allergies. Not just allergies. Nah, nah. It ain't that hard for me out there.

I'm good, I'm good, I me out there I'm good I'm good I'm good I'm good Nah it's one of them things Where like It took me to a dark place This character Not even a dark place But I just

Isolated You know what I mean Like it was one of those things Where you know Killmonger What he was fighting for Wasn't too far from You know

What the culture was feeling At the moment You know what I'm saying It was an opportunity For me to kind of express I think what our generation Is feeling at the moment. You know what I'm saying? It was an opportunity for me to kind of express, I think, what our generation is feeling right now through my art. You know what I'm saying?

And that was like a real liberating feeling for me. So I spent a lot of time away from my family. I didn't really talk to my mom or my dad, you know what I'm saying, or my brothers and sisters and stuff like that. I worked out a lot. It was a sad place, man. I just kind of stayed to myself.

So the physical aspect, that was the easy part mentally kind of going to that lonely place and willing to do whatever it takes to kind of free his people was the not that

was the more challenging part you know what I'm saying but it was a lot of fun too what about white women did you cut off white women during that period come on man why would that go back there

I like women period all women everybody's on the table okay everybody's on the table. Okay. Everybody's on the table. Everybody's on the table, man. Everybody. How much of Killmonger's philosophy do you agree with?

I mean, I feel like, first of all, it's a movie. You know what I'm saying? So there's a lot of things that Killmonger has to do to service the character. You know what I'm saying? To service the story. You know what I'm saying? To tap the challenge to T'Challa. He's a tool. You know what I'm saying? So there's a lot of things that Killmonger has to do to service the character. You know what I'm saying? To service the story. You know what I'm saying? To challenge T'Challa. He's a tool.

You know what I'm saying? In that movie. But there's a lot of it that, you know what I mean? You grew up in an oppressed society. You know what I'm saying? Systemic society. You know, you're going to create Killmongers. Like, you can create that.

So I feel like there's something that I agree with. There's something that I don't. He's an extreme version of what I think a lot of people feel today. And I was, like, glad to kind of be able to play that character and bring that to the screen. That's why them little double little Cree jabs he gave me just now. He should have fell out. He fell out.

Did you anticipate the movie would have the impact that it was going to have when you were filming it? I mean, I thought we had something special. You know, if we all kind of did our jobs, you know what I'm saying, from behind the camera, in front of the camera, I never imagined that it was going to have the reach that it did. I did. I told Ryan last summer, I said,

you know black fans are going to make over a billion dollars. And he was like, what? I said, I'm telling you because you're going to have all the Marvel fans and every black person in America who ain't even up on comics going to go see it. It's going to do over a billion. No, and then we didn't really account for I think people going to see it three four or five times I saw it three times that's that's what's up we appreciate so many

people buying out the theaters also and showing their support as well being able to like take kids that wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity or the means to go see the film so it was it was a it was a big deal and it's kind of like it's kind of surreal but the impact hasn't really hit me right now it's still like because it's still living it's kind of like, it's kind of surreal, but the impact hasn't really hit me right now. It's still like, because it's still living. It's still growing, you know? So I think the real impact for me personally won't happen until, like, you know, years later after the dust really settles.

But you can see the shift because Denzel, Denzel's like, yo, Michael can have all my old hoes. It's his time now. That's what he said. Didn't he say that? No, he said you're up next. That was a cool interview I did with him in the New York Times, man.

Honestly, just to be able to have a conversation with him, you know, and just spit those gems and being able to, like, you know, hear him kind of, like, you know, kick that wisdom was a big deal for me. He said you next. That's a lot of pressure, bro. A little bit. No, for me, it's like, I mean, I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you know, creating a production company, you know, Outlaw Society was a big deal for me because I realized, like, the true power is behind the camera. You know what I've been doing you know I'm saying like you know creating a production company you know outlaw society was a big deal for me because I realized like the true powers behind the camera you know say everybody wants to you know be in front of camera be a star be famous you know I'm saying all that good stuff and that's cool and fun and all that good stuff but you know when you got to make the decisions when you get a chance to employ people put key people of color you know I'm saying women you know I'm saying like in in in those positions that are

really going to make a difference, that's when you really start to see some real change. Alright, we got more with Michael B. Jordan when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Michael B. Jordan's in the building. Yee. It's Fahrenheit 451.

That is from your production company? It's a co-production between HBO and Ramin Barani, who's our director, his production company as well. And it was my first real project that I got a chance to produce. That's exciting. Not very much. To go from Wallace on the Wire being cast in front of the camera to 15 years later being able to produce something,

it was a milestone for me. I wondered what y'all was going to do after Black Panther. What you mean? Just in general. What's the next role you take when you do something that monumental? Yeah, yeah. So why Fahrenheit 451? I think because it's so relevant to what's going on today.

You know what I'm saying? With media control, anti-intellectualism, the fact that free thought, free thinking, all the distractions that we have due to technology, propaganda, et cetera, et cetera. What Ray Bradbury did over 60 years ago is still very much so relevant today. And we wrote that movie before the presidential election.

So it's like there's a lot of things that are in this film that are very real today. Obviously, there's some changes due to technology and the digital era that we live in. We incorporated a lot of futuristic sci-fi things, but it's in the near future. Things that we were like, okay, cool, we can see if we go 10 more years down the road, we could probably be in that situation right now. So that's one of the reasons why I really wanted to step into that character and play that role. You knew it was going to be a TV movie or you didn't care?

No, I knew it was going to be on HBO. Okay, okay. I mean, for me, honestly, it was an opportunity to, A, tell that story, be able to produce something, get a credit, you know what I'm saying under my production company get some real steak with the credibility of HBO You know I'm saying to be able to like, you know have my logo go up right after HBO is like, okay Cool, it instantly gives my company a lot of a lot of cachet and then um, yeah in the story I believed in you know working with Michael Shannon also, you know I'm saying it's like credible actor So it was it was a win-win for me all the way around but what got what got you into acting? I know you you were raised in Newark. Yep. A lot of times,

Newark is probably one of those places where it's one of the hardest places to get out. You could get shot. You could shoot somebody. I mean, we off in the city, you feel me? So what got you into acting? I mean, it was random.

My mom has lupus or whatever. She was going to a doctor's appointment when I was like 11 years old. I was sitting in the waiting room. She came out. The receptionist was like, yo, do you want to you know, you should get your son into modeling. I started out

modeling for like Toys R Us and Models. How old were you? 11? 12? Oh, she was a pedophile. No, cut it out. No, she had two sons that was in the business. She probably like, you know, my mom was probably like talking to her at, you know, some other appointments about, you know, we were poor growing up, you know what I'm saying? You know, like make extra bucks. It was easy.

Come to the city. Go see. Quick booking. Whatever. Whatever. And I guess over time, I started booking. So I guess over the next year or so, my agent was just like, yo, do you want to start going out for commercials and background and extra work and all that stuff? And then it just slowly evolved into acting.

I never really took acting seriously until probably The Wire. And being around Idris and David Simon and J.D. Williams and Andre Royal and all these phenomenal veteran actors on that show. They're like, yo Mike, you can actually do something with this. You can make a career out of this. And that's when I kind of started taking it seriously.

So you've had a relationship with HBO for a while. Yeah. It's been like 16 years. A lot more respect now, I'm sure. Without a doubt. while yeah yeah it's been it's been like 16 years a lot more respect now i'm sure without a doubt i mean it's gross you know i mean i kind of like paid my dues as a kid and kind of grew into the man that i am today and looking back at it i guess i was a child actor but it wasn't like i got too much too fast where i was like emotionally not able to handle what was going on so you're gonna see me on the you know running the street going crazy you know what i'm saying no drug habits i no that shit.

I got a good family, like my family, my friends, everybody kind of keeps me grounded. And if you're ever around me and my friends, you're like, damn, you might need some new friends because they hate you. They keep it real with me. They talk shit. You know what I'm saying? They just, they keep me humble. You still live with your parents? They live with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was a very funny story. Yeah, but it's like, why wouldn't I? You know what I'm saying? If you get an opportunity, you make the money, you know what I'm saying? Make enough money to be able to take care of your family that took care of you your whole life, why wouldn't you move them out? And you're never home. You're never home.

You know what I'm saying? And I'm never home. You feel like you got short-shafted for Black Panther, speaking of money? What you mean? I was looking at the salaries. Did you? Didn't look too chunky. Wait, what'd he make?

If you look at the salary, what'd he say he made? Like maybe two million? I don't know. I mean, that's probably wrong because it's the internet. How you getting these numbers? Where you getting these numbers from? The internet.

The internet. He's such a bird. That's what I'm saying. That's why 451 is so important. Everything you read on the internet ain't true. True, true, true. You know what I'm saying?

But nah, but it's one of those things where like... I mean, you live with your mom and that's why I'm asking, man. You know, come on, come on. Come on, come on. Give him another job.

Give him another job. Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah. Nah, it's one of those things where like, you know, at the end of the day, like Marvel's Marvel, and we got to do what's best for the project at that stage in the game. You know what I'm saying? We're, you know, individually in our acting careers, we're all kind of like, you know, reaching our quote, we're doing what we got to do.

Gotcha. Climbing that ladder. And you have a Netflix movie too? Or deals with Netflix? Yeah, I got a show that I sold to Netflix, Raising Dion. It's about a single mom raising her eight-year-old with superpowers. It's told through the mom's perspective. A superhero kid?

Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Single black mom, you know, raising a kid and, you know, producing that as well. So I'm actually, I'm being in it as well. I'm starring in it for a couple episodes. That was the trade-off. You know, when you get to that certain point of, you know, that as well so i'm actually i'm being in as well i'm starring in it for a couple episodes that was the trade-off you know when you when you get to that certain point of uh you know making production deals you right now as an actor you gotta kind of like negotiate a little bit you know trade yourself off a little bit for a couple episodes to get that producer

credit to get that show on the air so that was one of those things but netflix is an incredible home to work with great collaborators they believe in the. They give us a lot of control to go off and do our thing. So I teamed up with Macro, Charles King over there. He's amazing. And, yeah, man, we're getting ready to start shooting at the Summers. Well, let's talk about these women, man. Come on. What's going on?

Why everybody want to know about what I'm doing with my life? Because you've got to be disciplined, Michael, because they on you. All right? They on you now. Now, recently this girl from Temple got into your DMs and bought you a smoothie, and you pulled up on her. No, she didn't. And you pulled up on her.

Look at that. I love how he bought you a smoothie, and you pulled up on her. This was at the time. So, easy. This was a very nice gesture. Listen, listen. If you read the internet, I declined the smoothie, okay? She didn't buy me no smoothie.

So, this is what happened. This was a nice gesture on your part. But she pushed you. So, I slid in his DMs, and then this happened. So, you went to go see her. Listen, no. No. This is what happened, okay? She didn't buy me no smoothie. So this is what happened. It was a nice gesture on your part. But she pushed you. So I slid in his DMs and then this happened. So you went to go see it. Listen, no, no. This is what happened, right?

So this guy right here, boy. So we're shooting at Temple University and our base camp is behind the dorm rooms. I was coming out of here in a makeup trailer. It was in the windows.

Went crazy, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Went out, talked to a couple of them through the window. Just like, you know, show them some love or whatever the case might be.

Went off and cooked. I was like, cool, cook me something, whatever. Just being nice talked to a couple of them through the window. Just like, you know, show them some love or whatever the case might be. Went off with the cook. I was like, cool, cook me something, whatever. Just being nice. They slid in my DMs. Da-da-da-da-da. Where can I see any food? I answered a couple of them. Said, cool, just come down and meet me at the base camp.

I'll tell the security to chill out. Went out there. She gave me a plate. Some other friends. I told her to bring her friends. We took some pictures. You ate it? That was it.

I took a couple bites. You're not worried about period, Black? Come on. Come on. No one does that. No one does that. No, that's how they get you. That's roots.

Voodoo. Nah, I mean, nah. I took a couple bites or whatever, man. Really? It was cool. I mean, whatever. That's what I'm saying. I took a couple bites.

It was cool. Hey, look, tell Paige to come here, man. I got shots I need to shoot for my people. Stop it. Stop it. Paige, come here. Tell her. I took a couple bites. It was cool, though, man. Back in come in, man. I got shots I need to shoot for my people. Stop it. Stop it. Paige, come in and tell them. I took a couple bites. It was cool, though, man.

Back in the day, like... Now, what's the craziest thing a girl has done to get your attention? Has there been any of them popped up at your crib, laid in your bed, in your hotel room? She's saying no. You see that girl? See the blonde right there? She said no what? She's been talking about eating your ass for months.

No, literally eating your ass. What? Oh, my God. She literally... I had her on video saying, I wish Michael B. Jordan's ass. She don't even want to come in here months. Oh my God. What? I had her on video saying I want to eat Michael B. Jordan's ass. She don't even want to come in here now. Out of control. You're out of control.

I'm just telling you what you're saying. You make an eye contact and everything. I want all these girls to have the same energy that they have with Michael B. Jordan. Well, now hold on. Rumor has it that he's in a relationship. So maybe we can break it down a little bit. I'm chilling, man. I'm going to keep my personal life out of this.

I'm keeping that, I'm chilling, man. I keep my personal life out of this. I'm keeping that. I'm chilling. All right, we got more with Michael B. Jordan, actor. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We have Michael B. Jordan in the building. Now, what is the craziest thing a female fan has done for you? I mean, I don't know. This one fan in Philly, I guess, made a cutout of me and, like, you know, actually took me to prom. You know what I'm saying? Oh, so it took you to cut out to prom. Yeah, exactly.

And that was a little extreme. You know what I'm saying? So I responded back to her. So she got my attention with that one. Yeah, she got my attention with that one. So, I mean, I'm not a rapper. Like, these rappers be having, like, you know what I'm saying, these fans and stuff going crazy.

I think musician fans and, like, actor fans are different. You know what I mean? I think it's a different type of, like, you know, obsession a little bit. So, I don't really get too many craze, craze, craze fans. So, what's the equivalent of a woman throwing her panties on the stage if you were to sing in the acting world? Send a screenshot of her without panties on?

I don't know, man. I don't know. Now, listen, Tiffany Haddish, my family, I love her. Tiffany's crazy. I love her, too. She's crazy. But she told me something. I don't even know if I should be repeating this. Oh, man.

So don't. No, listen. So don't. She said she's not shaving her pubic hair until she has sex with you. Okay? Now, you know it's going to be hot this summer. Do you want to have her down there all bushy? Can you make that happen?

I know you're going to see her tonight at the Met Gala. So you're going to put that on me? Yes. What you mean? That ain't got nothing to do with me. You're going to let her walk around with a bushy? That ain't got nothing to do with me. I ain't never, this is the first time I'm hearing about it.

Wow. How long ago was this? This was yesterday. So she ain't got a day? No, she ain't growing. She ain't got a day. No, no. What you talking about?

She been growing it. Okay. That'd be a good look for you. She a real live African princess, man. Man, why don't you do stand-up, bro? You don't think about it? What's up? No, I know. Why don't you be able to do stand-up? Black men don't cheat. You got a situation, man.

Oh, you got a relationship. Why y'all trying to bait me into answering this goddamn question? I'm chilling. I'm chilling. I'm chilling. What is this white woman's name that you involved with? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Why you leaving me alone? Or anything.

Or anything. Or anything. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. Man, I'm chilling, man. So no real interest in Tiffany Haddish is what you're telling me?

Yo, man. Tiffany's dope. Oh, that's a good... He's saying you're not going to bait him in this interview is basically what he's saying. All I'm telling you is when you see her tonight

at the Met Gala, she got a full bush down there. So what should I say? And it's on you to get it removed. You her friend, right? Yeah. You've known each other a long time. Why can't you convince her to take care of? It's on you. It's on me. To get it removed. You her friend, right? You've known each other a long time.

Why can't you convince her to take care of that? She wanted you. She said she's not shaving it until you get with her. according to Amber Rose. I ain't got nothing to do with that.

And then she got to think about all the money she's going to make in the future. Y'all can build your own economy too. That's what I'm saying. Him together.

You don't think so? Leave me alone. Leave me alone. So Mike, you've been doing all these roles where you have to be very fit and in shape. You think you could do something where you actually had to gain, say, 60 pounds out of shape? I can't wait. You would do that? Oh, man, I can't wait.

I got to do it soon because the older you get, the harder it is to get back into shape. I really can't wait to play a role where I got to put on a lot of weight. I can just eat. Not work out. It'll be awesome. Right now, we're in the middle of shooting Creed 2, and it's like, my body's like, oof, I am tired. I am tired. I am tired. Was there any part of you that

didn't want to come back and do Creed 2 because Ryan wasn't doing it? In the beginning, I was a little hesitant, honestly. It was something that we started, we created, but he came on board and he's producing it as well. So he still has his fingerprints on, he's still involved. But in the beginning, yeah, it was a little hesitation there. But Stephen Cables, when we finally got him,

we locked down to a director, he's from Cleveland, went to USC, did this film called The Land, made a lot of noise in Sundance. He's an incredible filmmaker, and we're really lucky to have him because he's putting his fingerprints on it too, so we're in good shape. I don't like the premise, though. You don't even know the premise. Stop reading the Internet.

Stop reading the Internet. The Russian is so predictable. First of all, the sequel is really tough. Okay. Two to anything is really hard to make, you know what I'm saying? And to really bring the nostalgic back and tie in, you know what I'm saying, with Rocky and still give Creed his own legacy and, like, branch off down. And, you know, give Creed his own lane.

There's a natural tie and there's a natural balance there between making the second one a little bit bigger than the first one. You know what I'm saying? We didn't have a true bad guy. There wasn't a real antagonist in the first film. It was really about the origin story of Adonis. So this one, we're going to try to make things a little bit more spicy.

Well, Envy cried during this one because the first one we were on a flight together and I look over at Envy and he's crying. I was tearing. And for the record, your shirt was off when he was crying. I was like, I was like, what is was off when he was crying. So I don't know what exactly. I don't know if it was tears of joy.

What is wrong? I'm not sure. I'm not too sure. It was a little awkward. It wasn't even there. I heard about it. It wasn't even there. I don't even know what made me cry.

It was a little tear that came down. He was like, why are you crying? His eyes were all red. You know you're naturally more emotional when you're playing in there? You're more likely to cry watching a film. I'll take that. Where'd you learn that? YouTube?

I'll take that. I'm just saying. No, I read it on the internet. Hey, we're supposed to believe that. You're telling us not to believe everything. Speaking of the internet, this is America. I saw you tweeting that you posted on Instagram how much you enjoyed that video. Yeah, man.

It was incredible. I think it's like right on time, honestly. You know, I feel like Donald, we were actually kicking it last night. We were hanging out last night. He's in town for the Met and stuff like that. We were singing his praises and stuff all night. We had a good time. I feel like Donald is the distraction.

You know what I'm saying? Childish Gambino. Childish Gambino, he's a distraction to what's really going on in the world right now. Just as much as we're distracted by everything else that's going on and not really pay attention to the world around us.

So I encourage people to watch the video, but don't look at childhood. Try not to. Yeah, because you see the pale horse in the background. Exactly, with the cops. The cop car following him.

You see the kids on their cell phones. Recording everything. You know what I'm saying? You see, you know, Donald, you know what I'm saying, shooting my man, you know what I'm saying, Trayv see Donald, you know what I'm saying, shoot my man. You know what I'm saying? Trayvon Martin, you know what I'm saying? Popping him in the head or whatever, but then also seeing him.

Trayvon Martin? Trayvon Martin is his father. No, it's not. It's not? It's not? It's another artist. Yeah, it's an artist. Alright, misspoke. Take that back. A lot of people thought that. Okay, cool. I saw the resemblance. Okay, all good. But anyway, you see the way

he took gun care. You know what I'm saying? He put the gun nightly away, but the what I'm saying. It wasn't? Okay, cool. I saw the resemblance, and okay, all good. But anyway, but you see the way he took gun care. You know what I'm saying? The way he put the gun, you know what I'm saying, nightly way, but the body is dragged away. Took more care of the gun than the people.

Exactly. So there's a lot of little things in there that I feel like is super important, and he's a genius. Heroes is an amazing tool, the director. There's a lot of Elena,

you know what I'm saying, and all of his childish music videos. So yeah, man, it was a good video. I loved it. I just wish that in that one scene where he shot the choir, I wish it was a white person actually shooting the choir instead of him. It could have been Teddy Perkins.

Because I don't, I feel like people, I don't like the optics of black people killing black people. I see what you're saying. Yeah, it might have been a little bit more, like, clear. Yeah. Of what he's trying to say. Yeah, because, I mean, if you're white and you're watching that, all you see is black people killing black people.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. You know what I mean? And it reinforces the negative stereotype you already have of us anyway. But other than that, I thought it was a genius video. Iconic video.

Oh, absolutely. That thing goes down legendary. Michael B. Jordan got to get up out of there. He got some TV to do. Okay. All right, he's very busy, but we really appreciate you

for stopping through. I appreciate this, man, because I always tell people from Hollywood, especially the black actors, they forget about their black bases. You know what I'm saying? So it's good to see y'all still come through and rush off to the white people. Nah, nah, black actors, they forget about their black bases. You know what I'm saying? So it's good to see y'all still come back to the court and rush off to the white people.

No, no. Come on, man. Cut it out. Cut it out. Cut it out, man. I never lose touch, man. Never lose touch, bro. All right.

I appreciate you guys. Absolutely. It's Michael B. Jordan. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
