The Breakfast Club - Jerrod Carmichael Interview and More

Episode Date: June 27, 2019

Today on the show we had Jerrod Carmichael stop by where he spoke about being confident In sexuality, parental infidelity, owning his story and more. Also Charlamagne was having  a hard time to consider who would be the "Donkey of the Day" after a story broke that a pregnant woman was shot and indicted for manslaughter for starting the fight, so he left it up to the listeners to declare who will be getting the hee- haw, and they declared the law enforcement. Also, Angela helped some listeners out during "Ask Yee". Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

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

Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, my undeadly darlings. It's Teresa, your resident ghost host. And do I have a treat for you. Haunting is crawling out from the shadows, and it's going to be devilishly good. We've got chills, thrills, and stories that'll make you wish the lights stayed on.

So join me, won't you? Let's dive into the eerie unknown together. Sleep tight, if you can. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, USA! Yes, it's Thursday. One more day until summer vacation, damn it. That's right. And let me shout out. I want to shout out to everybody at StockX. Now, I was in Detroit.

If you don't know what StockX is. It's a billion-dollar company. It's a billion-dollar company. It just reached a billion dollars yesterday. It was created by Dan Gilbert and his partners. Now, the dope thing about StockX is people used to buy sneakers off eBay all the time. They used to get got. They used to buy fake sneakers or fake watches or fake

bags. So they created this site in this app where you can actually find out if the stuff is real or not. So if you want to buy it through StockX, they check it to make sure that the watch is real or your sneakers are real or a bag is real or the clothes is real. So yesterday I got a chance to tour the facility

and experience the facility. Shout out to all the StockX members, workers. They listen every morning, so shout out to you guys. But I just thought it was dope because it's a brilliant, easy plan. They just created something that people needed. You know, people were buying stuff on eBay, so they said, well, let's create something where people can actually go through and find out if the sneakers are real or whatever's real.

And it's a billion-dollar company, and it's something that was simply to think of, but they went through with it. So shout to everybody at StockX. Shout to Damien. Shout to Jasmine. What's the guy's name that took me on the tour? I can't remember the brother's name. I don't know. I wasn't with you. He took you on the tour too, he said. Well, listen, I will say this.

I forgot his name too. And I'm like, you were just there yesterday. Damn, I forgot the brother's name. But I will say this. Did they make you try to authenticate which was fake and which was real? I did. They said it took you a long time. It only took me 10 seconds.

No, I did. Because I smelled it. I could smell the sneakers. You smelled the sneaker? Yeah, because you can smell what a natural, real sneaker, and you can smell the fake rubber and the glue of a fake sneaker.

Oh, I just looked at it. And I was like, I could look at the stitching and tell. Now, why should the regular everyday listener that's riding right now care about this? It's a billion dollar company

because the regular everyday person buys stuff on StockX because a lot of people want to buy sneakers. But why is it a billion dollar company? People end up buying fake sneakers or fake bags. So it helps the regular

everyday person avoid getting got by buying fake sneakers. So you might go on eBay and say, let me get these sneakers. And they turn out to be fake and there's nothing you can do about it. Okay. So now for people that also, people try to flip sneakers. So they buy what they think are real sneakers, thinking that they're going to flip this and wait online.

And, you know, get some sneakers from somewhere. And then they try to sell them and find out that it's fake. So it's an authentic source. Yeah, they authenticate them. They authenticate. So it's bags, it's sneakers, it's straight wear. Telling them it's a billion-dollar company is cool, but that's not going to make the regular everyday person care.

But it's a really big company. That's why, because everyone, a lot of people use it. Most people know what StockX is. It's just dope. I didn't know too much about it until I actually went and got to see it, and I thought it was pretty dope. And I know my kids use it when they purchase sneakers and things like that, so I thought it was pretty dope.

A lot of people use it, but they don't understand how it started. And a lot of people have left eBay to go to StockX as far as when it comes to buying things. So it provides a service for the community. Yes. For the sneakerhead community. So you don't get got. You don't even have to be a sneakerhead to do that. Like, sometimes you're like, I want these sneakers that just came out,

and you think you're buying them, and then bang. All right, enough about StockX. We're not getting paid for that. But I just wanted to shout them out. That's all. I had a great time yesterday. Yeah, one of the Democrats bang. Enough about StockX. We're not getting paid for that. I just wanted to shout them out. That's all. I had a great time yesterday. One of the Democrats should have bought up StockX last night and told the American people how they cannot get got

buying fake sneakers. Then people might have cared a little bit more. Yeah, the debate last night was whack. I didn't think it was going to be good. Like I said, you can't get 10 people on the stage and tell them they can only talk for two hours and ask them questions in between and they get a chance to explain themselves.

If last night was any indication that Democrats are in trouble in 2020, okay, I guarantee the final fight scene in the game was way easier to organize and execute than that mess we saw last night. Well, we are going to have some highlights from the Democratic debates last night in case you missed it. I was watching it while I actually had my run with you yesterday. So we went for a run in the park. It was like 90 something degrees out.

Then I came home and watched the debates. And, you know, I was in and out of watching it. I did see two candidates trying to talk Spanish, and they sounded like me when I talked Spanish. They were pandering their ass off. Hola. Cory Booker and Beto O'Rourke. Yo, Beto O'Rourke.

Como estas? Beto O'Rourke had a spark when he started, but now he's just garbage. Like, seriously. Like, it's like all his mixtapes were fire last year, and he dropped his album this year. And it's like, who is this guy? This guy is trash. My God.

Yee, what's up next, though, in Front Page News, though? That's how I felt like they were talking yesterday in Spanish. No, it was bad. It was pandering, and I'm saying I'm shocked. Wasn't it bad? I'm shocked more people in the Spanish community aren't upset about that. Like, it was just straight pandering for no goddamn reason.

See. I didn't know what was happening when they did it, when they did that. I'm like, why did he do that just now? You don't know what to say. Yee. What? I'm really serious. What we got at Breakfast Front Page News? What do we have? Oh, I told you. We're going to talk about the Democratic debates. Okay.

Alright, well, that's next, though. Keep it locked, though. It's the Breakfast Club. Okay, stop. EJMV Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News. Where we starting, Yee? I mean, let's start with the Democratic presidential debate. The first night of the debates was last night.

Tonight is the second night. And tonight is when a lot of the heavy hitters will be on stage. I think Elizabeth Warren was one of the highest polling candidates that was on stage last night. Cory Booker was there as well. Beto O'Rourke, Julian Castro, Bill de Blasio. Klobuchar was there.

Who else was on the stage? Tim Ryan. Oh, yes. Tim Ryan was there. Who else was on the stage? Tim Ryan. Oh, yes, Tim Ryan was there. But let's get into it, okay? So they were talking about, well, they were talking about the economy, and somehow Beto O'Rourke started speaking in Spanish. This economy has got to work for everyone. And right now we know that it isn't.

And it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does. Necesitamos incluir cada persona en el éxito de esta economía. Pero si queremos hacer eso, necesitamos incluir cada persona en nuestra democracia. Panda, panda, panda, panda, panda, panda. I know one thing, a lot of them better bring their Rosetta Stone tonight. Okay, if they don't know how to speak no Spanish, they better pull up on that stage knowing how to speak some goddamn Spanish tonight

because clearly that's a requirement to start randomly speaking Spanish in the middle of a debate for no damn reason. That sounds so crazy. All right, well, Cory Booker also spoke Spanish. He said this is the most Spanish that's ever been spoken during a Democratic presidential debate. You think?

La situación ahora es inacceptable. Este presidente ha atacado, ha demonizado a los inmigrantes. Es inacceptable y voy a cambiar el resto. On day one, I will make sure that, number one, we end the ICE policies and the customs and border policies that are violating the human rights. You don't even sound like a Rocky movie. Didn't it sound like a Rocky movie? Adrian!

That sounded crazy. Corey, you should have just spoke straight Newark right there. All right, where was the Ebonics or something? Oh, my goodness. Can I hear that just at the beginning of that again? Please, just at the beginning. La situación ahora es inacceptable. Este presidente ha atacado, ha demonizado los inmigrantes. He might as well have just screamed out, this is what they want.

They want reggaeton. Reggaeton. Jesus Christ, man. Presidente SC. Reggaeton. I'm telling you, the Democrats are in trouble. Last night was in the indication they in real trouble. Like, it's really starting to look like Captain America Civil War on that goddamn Democrat stage.

Suavamente. Well, let's skip down to look like Captain America Civil War on that goddamn Democrat stage. Suavamente! Well, let's skip down to Julian Castro talking about immigration. He actually called Albedo O'Rourke on immigration, and here's what he had to say. The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're using Section 1325 of that act, which criminalizes coming across the border, to incarcerate the parents and then separate them. Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it. Some, like Congressman O'Rourke, have not and I want to challenge all of the candidates to do that.

All right, well Beto O'Rourke did respond and here's what he had to say to Julian Castro. Actually, as a member of Congress, I helped to introduce legislation that would ensure that we don't criminalize those who are seeking asylum and refuge in this country. I'm not talking about the ones that are seeking asylum. If you're fleeing desperation, then I want to make sure that you're treated with respect. I'm still talking about everybody else. But you're looking at just one small part of this. I'm talking about a comprehensive rewrite of our immigration laws.

Beto O'Rourke had a spark when he started, but now he's just garbage. And, you know, LeBron and Beyonce Gastro love wearing his hat last year. This stage is too big for him. He's not built for this in the least bit. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. We'll have more on that in the next Front Page News, too, because we do have to talk about women's rights to choose.

We have to talk more about immigration. We have to talk about the economy. We have to talk about health care and all of that. Yes, Luther, the guys on stage last night who said that they've been fighting harder for women's rights than any person on that stage. And it was three other women on that stage. Three women on the stage. We're going to get into that, though. Amazing, those guys are.

All right, get it off your chest. That's front page news. Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Maybe you've seen the debates. You think they were trash. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Maybe you've seen the debates. You think they were trash.

I was trying to figure out, but usually they have a paper what's happening. But I ain't got no papers or nothing. Well, my man Gerard Carmichael will be here this morning. Gerard Carmichael, he, um...

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country?

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

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

gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, R. Kelly was in court yesterday morning, and prosecutors have turned over a tape on that tape. Allegedly, he is raping an underage victim. He's facing 18 charges for sexually abusing four different women, and they are saying that he's with a 14-year-old girl on this tape.

Oh, what's new? Yeah, I mean, I guess it's a new tape that people haven't seen before. Obviously, it's not going to be released to the public. It's disgusting. They said in 2017, Illinois passed a bill that eliminated the statute's limitations for all felony criminal sexual assault and sexual abuses against kids. New tape running the same old place, but this time it's going to have a

totally different result at the end. There's a petition now to keep The Office on Netflix. We told you about Netflix getting, The Office is leaving Netflix in January of 2021. It'll be available on NBCUniversal's new streaming platform. But now they have this petition to try to keep it there. I don't know if that can possibly

happen. They don't care about no damn petitions. They care about that paper, okay? M's, hundreds of them. That's how you keep shows like that on Netflix. Yeah, that was their number one show on there. And apparently there was an auction and NBCUniversal beat Netflix. Netflix offered $90 million per year for five years. And NBCUniversal did $100 million per year. That's right.

Simple mathematics, people. Gotta go with the money. I don't care about y'all goddamn petitions. Y'all couldn't get 100 million signatures on them petitions. Knock it off. Mary J. Blige. She has her newly launched Blue Butterfly Production Company and now they have signed a deal. They have a

first look TV deal with Lionsgate. They'll develop and produce series and be able to create content across all their business platforms as well. So congratulations to Mary J. Blige. Shout out to Mary. Mary's doing a lot, man. Mary bounced back from the divorce. She's doing well. She seems happy. She's putting out

dope music. Going on tour with Nas. Yep. Shout to Mary. I was having this conversation yesterday with Angie Martinez, and I'm just like, I still don't feel like Mary gets the respect she deserves, man. I really don't. Well, Mary is, I'm happy for her that she seems much happier in life. Absolutely.

Shout to Mary. She went through it. All right. Ayesha Curry is taking that Harvard Business School course. Which one? You know, the one that... Is she going? Or is it the one that everybody's taking online?

It's online. I wonder if that course is good. We got to talk to somebody that took that course. I thought she was a cook. She is. I want to talk to somebody that went to Harvard and how they really feel. She owns restaurants. Do people respect that certificate?

That's what I want to ask. Somebody went to Harvard. How do you feel that all these people are taking their courses online and saying, I got my Harvard degree? Well, you don't have a Harvard degree. You have a Harvard business school course. Do people respect that piece of paper, though, is what I'm trying to tell you. I don't know. But the bigger

issue is, are you really learning a lot? That's what I'm saying. Who cares about that? Did you learn enough because she's an entrepreneur, she owns restaurants? Is this business course actually helping you with your business? I just want to know what goes on in this course. I want to talk to somebody that took this course. I want to know what the certification means in the real world.

How much does that cost? If I put that down on a resume, I said I went to Harvard Community College with people respected. It's not a community college. It's not? It's an online course. It might as well be. And rest in peace to Eminem's father, Marshall Bruce Mathers. He died near Fort Wayne, Indiana.

They said that he had a heart attack while at home. He was 67 years old. Was he close with his father? I think they were estranged. Because he never rapped about him. I don't think I remember hearing any raps about him. I never met him in person, apparently. So, yes.

I never heard him spit a ball about it, Debbie. Not that I remember. I wasn't a huge H7NM fan, but I know that he talked about his mom. His mom, his baby mom. He cleaned out my closet. He did? Okay. And according to his mother, Debbie, she married Bruce when he was 22 and she was 15.

Yikes. All right. Now, Carmelo Anthony, let's talk about that because this was trending yesterday. There were some pictures that surfaced of Carmelo Anthony on a yacht in the south of France. He's on the yacht, and there's a woman there with him, and that picture was viral everywhere.

Everybody was talking about it, acting like he was cheating. He never does this, but he did address what the bloggers were saying. Here's what he said. Keep my never does this, but he did address what the bloggers were saying. Here's what he said. Keep my family out this, man. I'm over here trying to do my business retreat. I'm over here trying

to have a good time. I'm on the boat with some friends. Them people are married, man. They ain't got, they don't got nothing to do with anything. Y'all trying to expose,

y'all exposing somebody's wife, y'all exposing somebody's kids, all that. Like, come on. No, I got to deal with that. I got to deal with that with my son. I got to deal with that with my son. I got to deal with that with my wife. You know, here's the thing about social media.

You see pics with zero context and you jump to conclusions based off what you feel is going on. Then when the person comes out and explains what it is, you don't believe them because you don't want to. You already got your mind made up. All right. But he addressed that to clear it up with his family. That's the reason. Y'all playing with home. Enough of this ish.

Y'all playing with home. He know Lala about to get all of that slander on social media, so he got to jump on it up with his family. That's the reason. Y'all playing with home. Y'all playing with home. He know Lala about to get all of that slander on social media, so he got to jump on there and clean that up. Well, the only other thing that happened was the woman that they say that he has a baby with says she posted on social media as well. She said, and we're out here explaining how they're laid up on a boat with another man's wife, but can't explain why they can't spend time with their daughter. Hashtag explain that. She also put hashtag black men don't cheat's wife, but can't explain why they can't spend time with their daughter. Hashtag explain that.

She also put hashtag black men don't cheat. No, she didn't. Yes, she did. That is a fact. That is a fact, hater. She put black men don't cheat. I don't think that would be the person you would want to be the spokesperson for the black men don't cheat. She really does have a baby by him. All I'm saying is

that can easily be misconstrued when it comes to that picture. We take family and friend vacations all the time. If I'm lying on the beach in the chair next to one of my wife and I's homegirls and next to my man's girl

or his wife, people could take a pic of that and take that out of context. Well, hopefully Lala and Carmelo know what's going on behind the scenes. She would, I would think, know where he was

and who he was with. So when a picture like that comes out, he's like, oh yeah, that's such and such's wife like I told you. And that should clear it right up. And I don't know that comes out, he's like, oh yeah, that's such and such's wife, like I told you. And that should clear it right up. And I don't know who that young lady is talking about daughters and whatnot,

but thank you for the hashtag Black Men Don't Cheat. Black Men Don't Cheat! That is not selling the song. I'm just telling you Black Men Don't Cheat. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. If it is true, Carmelo's half Puerto Rican. I'm going to throw that out there as well.

My goodness. All right, front page news next. Yes, we are going to talk more about these Democratic debates that went down yesterday. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting off, Yee?

We're talking about the Democratic debates that went down yesterday, the Democratic presidential debates. It was night one. Tonight is night two of these debates. So make sure you guys are paying attention. I was telling one of my homegirls, I was like, listen, because she was like, I don't know anything about politics. I don't care. I said, well, this is a good debate for you to watch because it's a good way to see who some of these candidates are. See if you like what any of them are saying.

And it's just a good time to try to get involved. And I think a lot of people still have a lot of questions, just basic things like, how does this affect me as a person? Yeah, I'm going to be honest. If you just started watching, you know, following the Democratic candidates and you watch these debates, you're going to be really, really confused because it looks so messy and it looks so unorganized. All right, so let's get it started.

We'll talk about Klobuchar. She had to check Jay Inslee and that was when he claimed he was the only candidate who did this. It should not be an option in the United States of America for any insurance company to deny

woman coverage for their exercise of their right of choice. And I am the only candidate here who has passed a law protecting a woman's right of reproductive health and health insurance. I just want to say there's three women up here that have fought pretty hard for a woman's right to choose. I'll start with that. I think we share the goal of universal health care.

White male entitlement, man. It's hard for white men to tuck their privilege when it comes to anything. Three women on stage. He couldn't say much to that. He just got to shut up and just take that one. That's the Christopher Columbus effect, though. Okay? I'm always discovering something that was already here. Now, another issue was with health care, right? Should there be universal health care

for everyone? Should people still have private health care with their jobs, with their companies? Here's what Elizabeth Warren and Julian Cashel had to say about health care. I'm with Bernie on Medicare for All, and let me tell you why. I've spent a big chunk of my life studying why families go broke, and one of the number one reasons is the cost of health care, medical bills. And that's not just for people who don't have insurance. It's for people who have insurance. I don't believe only in reproductive freedom. I believe in reproductive justice.

Just because a woman, or let's also not forget, someone in the trans community, a trans female, is poor doesn't mean they shouldn't have the right to exercise that right to choose. Y'all got Afrobeats playing behind Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro. I think that we were, we were getting these from websites that had clips up and they

did their own remix. I know y'all should have put some reggaeton behind Julian Castro. Those debates are trash. Alright, now Elizabeth Warren also talked about how the economy isn't working for everyone. When you've got a government, when you've got an economy that does great for those with money and

isn't doing great for everyone else. That is corruption, pure and simple. We need to call it out. We need to attack it head on and we need to make structural change in our government, in our economy and in our country. Another thing that was discussed was ICE and how ICE is, according to Cory Booker, and it's true, ripping away parents from children. On day one, I will make sure that, number one, we end the ICE policies and the customs and border policies that are violating the human rights. When people come to this country, they do not leave their human rights at the border. We cannot surrender our values and think that we're going to get border security. We actually will lose security and our values. We must fight for both. It's amazing how all the Democrats' answers are

in context when you don't hear the questions because they'd be getting asked questions and they swerved to something else. But if you don't hear the questions, you just hear the answers. It sounds so in context. And let's also talk about Tim Ryan. One thing that he discussed was mental health. 90% of the shooters who do school shootings come from the school they're in and 73% of them feel shamed, traumatized, or bullied. We need to make sure that these kids feel connected to the school. That means a mental health counselor in every single school in the United States. That's why I like Tim Ryan. He's very consistent on that mental health issue. And you can't discuss violence without discussing mental health issues.

Because when you're talking about these mass shootings, you're dealing with a bunch of hurt kids. And hurt people hurt people. So that's got to be part of the conversation when you're talking about gun control. So who was your favorite person last night? Last night? I would say, to me, Castro fared the best. Yeah, that's a consensus.

Can you play Cory Booker's talk in Spanish again, please? La situación ahora es inacceptable. Es de presidente. Put some reggaeton behind it. Ha demonizado los inmigrantes. Es inacceptable. Voy a cambiar el resto. On day one, I will make sure.

That is crazy. Put that Nori record, Omi Kanto, behind that. Right there. There's Nori record right there. There you go. Let's see how it sounds together. With Cory Booker with the Omi Kanto behind it. Right there. There's an Omi record right there. There you go. Let's see how it sounds together. With Cory Booker with the Omi Kanto behind it. I'll play that.

Let's see. Turn it up a little bit. Turn that up, baby. La situación ahora es inacceptable. Este presidente ha atacado, ha demonizado los demigrantes. Es inacceptable y voy a cambiar el resto. On day one. Bring it back.

Bring it back. One more time. One more time. Bring it again. This is back. One more time, one more time. Bring it again, gang. This is what they want! Hey! This is what they want! Hey!

This is what they want! Oh, go Cory! Hey! Go Cory! Cory Booker is breaking it down! The new Reckon Talk remix! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! The new Reagan's agreement. The situation now is unacceptable. This president has attacked, has demonized the immigrants. It's unacceptable.

I'm going to change the rest. Hey, my book. Hey, my book. Hey, my book. And you know his girlfriend is Rosario Dawson. Hey, my book. That's hard right there. That's hard.

I'm going to play that in the club tonight. Drop on a clues box for Corey Yankee. Damn it. Yes. Corey Yankee ain't no joke. Goodness gracious. All right. When we come back, Gerard Carmichael will be joining us.

Yes, Gerard Carmichael. Does he speak Spanish? He might. Everybody speaks Spanish nowadays. He has an HBO special coming out this Sunday called Sermon on the Mount. So we're going to talk to Gerard. All right. We'll talk to him next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Hola. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

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

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. One of my favorite people to talk to is here, my man, Jariah Carmichael.

I like this a lot, though. You like the intimacy? It's very Frost Nixon. You know what I mean? It's like, okay, well, let's get a little serious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the one I'm going to cry. You think so?

Probably. Have you ever thought about that? Like, you know what? Certain interviews, I know I'm going to shed tears. I thought about that. If I sit down with Oprah, I'm going to cry. And I already got the story, and I'm going to tell her to cry. Oh, well, I guess I can't ask what the story is.

You never told the story. You wait for Oprah? Yeah, I guess I can't ask what the story is. Yeah. You wait for Oprah? Yep. Yeah, I think about crying a lot. I don't cry a lot ever. I cry, I haven't cried, I cried twice. I cried last night, actually. Why? Uh, just like a friend, like a friend was

going through something. It was weird. I, I never actually experienced that before. Really? Yeah, a friend was going through something, and made me cry you never experienced what empathy no not on not on that level i usually just deal with things and like go whatever and i was like oh like really cry what's the other thing that made you cry the charleston shootings but it was specifically the forgiveness uh of the family i remember hearing the um the court hearing uh where like the shooter was there and like the families came up and they were just so like they were like what you did was wrong and i forgive you and and i know those people

right like the wednesday night prayer meeting like people you're from north carolina i'm from south carolina so yeah yeah, I went every week. So like that one really, I was like depressed for like a week. That one really got me because I knew, I felt like I knew the intention of those people. Like they get off work at like 6 and then rush to church by 7. And like for them to get killed doing that was so devastating. Because like, but then when the family forgave the guy For them to get killed doing that was so devastating.

But then when the family forgave the guy and was standing to, I don't know, the religion that they held on to from the beginning and holding up those principles and tenets and something pure about that, and that's an impossible thing to do. And they just did it kind of one by one. And it was this beautiful thing, watching them still connect with God in that moment. Don't watch the Emmanuel documentary then. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet.

I haven't seen it yet. That's a very pivotal part of the movie where they show that exact scene with all these families forgiving Dylann Roof. But then they got one of the brothers on there that's that he killed my mom i'm never forgetting of course yeah i haven't gotten to that level of forgiveness yet i don't think i have that in you have any open like enemies any open grudges any open i have i have two people that i absolutely despise on this planet one is wendy Williams' husband, Calvin Hunter.

Yeah. And the thing with me is, like, people say, oh, you got to forgive because it's better for you. You're holding on to something negative. And I'm like, I don't feel that way. When I say f*** you, it's f*** you. I'm good. Yeah. Like, how much of your energy does it occupy? Like, when you, during the day, is it just when he comes up or is it, like?

Just when he comes up, yeah, exactly. Just when he comes up here on the radio. And it's a lot of performance. He comes up a i know who this is for whatever reason and i shouldn't but it's a lot of performance that goes into it too you know what i'm saying yeah so it's not like i really i really care but you know somebody told me about forgiveness they say you forgive someone when you um uh realize you're not going to do anything to them meaning like if you get a shot at revenge yeah you're not going to do anything to them Meaning like if you get a shot at revenge You're not going to do anything to them

Or if you get a chance to hurt them in some way You don't feel that way yet You feel like still that Bernie Mac on site Nah, nah, nah I think life is kicking his ass enough So how come you can't let go then If life is already doing that

It's not that I can't let go I just don't give a f*** Like I don't hate him It's just like f*** him Like fine Now when you cut your give a f***. Yeah. Like, I don't hate him. It's just like, f*** him. Like, fine. Now when you cut your toenails and you just throw them away, I'm not thinking about my toenails anymore.

But that is with animosity. That's not without animosity to say that. To say, I don't care, but f*** him is still a strong... That's still a direction to send your emotion in. It's not like you're like, I've truly let it go. I could be at a party and he's across the room and I'm fine. it's not like you're like, I've truly let it go. I could be at a party, and he's across the room, and I'm fine.

It's not like you're saying that. There's still something, and I'm just saying that's like, I go through that, and I have to deal with that. And I don't know. It occupies a lot of space if you hold on to any, you know that. You got people that you don't f*** with, Dry? I can't see that with you. I have like random kind of clouds over certain situations. Like, for instance, like, me and my dad are going through a thing, like, kind of a clash where, you know,

I have this weird expectation of him not to be a f***ing liar. And he's having trouble living up to that expectation. And I'm sure I'm having trouble living up to that expectation and i'm sure i'm having trouble living up to his i mean an interesting dynamic i saw uh i saw you with dr jessica clemens the other day at the be well conversation but then i watched um i don't i was i started to call it home videos that's this isn't home videos though the thing with your father and your uncles and yeah yeah is it home videos this one sermon's Sermon on the Mount. Sermon on the Mount. Yeah. I watched that yesterday, and I thought that was such an interesting dynamic because I think all men get to that point where we're, like, afraid of our fathers. Oh, yeah.

I don't think that ever goes away. Oh, yeah. But then it comes to a point where you're a man, and you've got to stand up to your pops and say exactly what you have been feeling all of these years. Oh, it's hard. Like, you saw both. Like, when I talk with my mom, there's a certain peace. And I'm like, when my dad just, I look like Ray Charles.

Like, it's like, real, like, weight. I'm like fidgety and like, I can't. And I'm a kind of fidgety person. But like, I'm very all over the place with him because it is a hard thing. Like, the dad has, you know, like, there's a weird dynamic, a weird power that, you know, a father can't have over his son. It's fear. Yeah, yeah. And that's the first man that you looked up to that you wanted to be just like, like, your first idol, your first icon.

But then you realize, like like my icon was wrong oh yeah when you realize your dad is just a somebody pregnant and your mom was this girl that was just doing the best she got there and like they are human and you're very flawed and you know it's a hard thing but you have to accept that with me and my dad it's weird because there's a dynamic shift. You know, to be honest, I just. You're the provider. Yeah. I feel like dad should mean whoever paid for the last vacation. I'm dad.

The father of. But that dynamic shift, it's hard. Like, you know, not to sound weird. Like, both my parents are, not to sound weird. Like, both my parents are, like, on payroll. That's a weird dynamic shift to, like, live in. You put your father on payroll, too? Yeah.

For what? I can understand mom, because that's mom. She, you know. And I'm in the same house, too. It is just, like, even still, dude, to get, like, give a sense of, like, this is your own my money. You know. You have some, and you have some. sense of like, this is your own my money. No. You have some and you have some of them. Alright, we got more with Gerard Carmichael. When we come

back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Gerard Carmichael in the building. Charlamagne? I hear you talk about your pops. Even when I see you and your pops talking, I understand that energy because I've been through it. Like, even when you talk about confronting your father

over his infidelity. Yeah. Like, I didn't. I mean, I wasn't. You can tell your own story. No, but you went through the same. Same exact thing. It's crazy how specific that is.

Like, when I talk to friends and stuff, how people go through that. People live in, like, a lot of this, like the home videos and this thing, part two, I forget what the sermon on my own thing, is about freedom. And it's that freedom to express this freedom to not carry things, carry these weights of like, you know, unspoken conversations you should have had carry the weight of, like, secrets. Like, being an adult with secrets is gross. That's so gross.

You know what I mean? And, like, having that with your dad. Like, it's very easy to have that with your dad. And it's so specific with, like, other kids and outside marriages where, like, you know, families I knew, like, they usually found out at the funeral. You know what I mean? Like, a funeral and, like, you know, families I knew, like they usually found out at the funeral, you know, like a funeral and like, and then you look and you see your new brothers and sisters and I didn't want to be one of those funeral new family discovery people, but it happens a lot.

You like, when did you confront your dad? I first confronted my father like way back in the day. This had to be like 20 years ago. And you know, and this is when I first found out because, you know, that woman who's now confronted my father like way back in the day. This had to be like 20 years ago. And you know, this is when I first found out because you know, that woman who's

now his wife, they lived in, we all lived in the same town. Moncks Cone is a small ass town. So he used to always be over there.

You know, who is that? Oh, that's my secretary. That's my assistant. Dumb. Like stupid ass lie that you can't believe

somebody would actually believe. Yeah. And so it's like when I confronted him, he looked me in my face and said, oh,

you only got one girlfriend? It was like, one day you gonna understand. So you don't understand how that f***s me up as a man. God oh, you only got one girlfriend? He was like, one day you gonna understand. So you don't understand how that f***s me up as a man. God damn, your dad.

So, gee. Oh, f***. That seems like a deleted scene from the Five Heartbeats. Did I go on to a life of infidelity because of that moment?

Yeah, man. Was he making an infidelity superhero? Well, how'd you confront your pops? I was, I got drunk in London and called him. You needed that liquid courage. Yeah, a little bit.

I drank some, and I'm never afraid of anything. And that was really scary to just like, mostly because I felt like I could have undone my parents' marriage. And that's kind of, I found out that my dad had other kids and was who he is since I was like 9 or 10, somewhere around there. So I kind of carried that like my entire childhood. And you feel this sense of obligation to your mom. You want to protect her. Exactly.

You don't want her to be hurt in any way. And you think that by carrying this, you know, by being your dad's wingman on this, that somehow you're the glue that keeps the family together. Right. And then because all you know is like the media version of infidelity. Right. Oh, he cheats. She leaves. It's over. You know, two Christmases type of shit. And the truth is, like, you know, I got drunk. I told him my mom found out and it was this, uh, weird immediate forgiveness that she had. I say weird because it's, uh, I don't know if I expected that. I don't know. I knew she was like this Christian Southern Baptist lady who like held on to her beliefs, but I didn't think she would like immediately forgive him.

And she did. And it's weird because I try to accept that, but I also wanted to be mad. I wanted to be angry, you know, and she's this really sweet lady and very kind. And her sweetness angers me now, you know, because I don't feel like she's protecting herself, and I don't feel like she's, like, guarding against herself,

against, like, you know, people lying to her, against the, like, kind of cold, cruel world. Like I said, I understand every emotion that you're talking about, and I'm glad that you got it out early because, for me, over the past year or so, therapy really made me hate my pops. And I thought I loved my pops. I do love my pops.

But when you're in there and you're talking about all of the things that impacted you when you were young that you never spoke about, you just suppressed, you suppressed, you suppressed, let mom and dad go through their thing, but then as you're older, and you talk about even something as small as a vacation. I made my mom get a passport. We go leave the country and stuff. You would love to do that with your pops, but pops is with the woman that

he left your mom for. I got to choose sides. I'm not taking you and your wife anywhere. You know what I'm saying? That's frustrating. Yeah, the loyalty that you feel. Especially moms win. Moms always win. Always. 100%. That loyalty that you feel. I mean, especially moms win, one. Moms always win. Always, 100%.

That loyalty that you feel can disrupt your relationship with them. Yeah, man. It's very, very disruptive, you know, because you should be able to accept pops and new girl and whatever, but it's hard because it's like if... And it depends on if your mom accepts it. And all that is just a burden that people just, you know, carry. Try and smoke some weed.

I told my wife, I told my therapist, and I told my mom, one thing that was bothering me so much about my pops was the fact that he was treating his other grandkids, like his wife's grandkids, like his own, but doesn't acknowledge His biological grandkids And that shit bothered me for months Yeah And like you know

It was one little thing He asked me to do something for him I'm like I'm not doing that shit As a punishment for you Not acknowledging your Yeah Real grandkids And I didn't tell him that

Yeah But then I eventually told him And that shit did feel like a weight came off. You know what I mean? And what fucks you up as a son is when your father says to you, you're right. Hmm. Yeah. That's what fucks you up. Yeah. Well, dads carry shit too. Like, they

know, but dads can just sit. It's always like, come to me. Dads love that position of power and just like, even my friends who don't know their dad or know of their dad and like know where he is and you would think and the dad knows of them and you would think the dad would be inclined to come visit come see him come talk to him apologize but even in that position they still wait you know and still wait even if they know I don't know if they feel it or

not even if they know they're wrong, they just wait. Yeah, it's interesting even watching the home videos and the Sermon on the Mount because, you know, I read this article that TVAV clubs, and they said that Gerard doesn't know what to do with black women. I hate her. That's the one. You asked if there was one. There's one.

Look, she doesn't mean any harm, but she's an idiot. Who, your mom or the person that wrote the article? The person that wrote that. Oh, okay. It frustrated me for two reasons. One, I didn't send it out to press for a reason. It's very, very personal to me. Got you.

It's the most personal thing you could possibly do to my family. That specifically wasn't meant for reviews. It wasn't meant for press. I didn't come here. You know what I mean? Like, you know, like we talk a lot and like I would have been here like trying to tell everyone.

And I don't even know it was on. Most people don't know it was on. I think like 15 people watched it and loved it. And I love you. The 15 that watched it and loved it, I love you.

But it was frustrating. I let it go. I saw it though. It was like, it was annoying because I didn't send it to you. One, like, this isn't yours. And two, you are, I think, wrong. You know, I reject her hypothesis.

Honestly, when I first started, I said, oh, it's dope because Gerard is making a space for black women to be heard. Because that's always, you know, what black women say. Oh, we don't, nobody make spaces for us to be heard. I want to give a specific thing to give them the freedom to express themselves without feeling exploited, without feeling, you know, vulnerable to any type. I could be there to protect them. This is mine. This is my production. I'm directing. I've made this thing. And I know you and your thoughts are safe here. And so that's why that was made the way it was. Me and the girls in the kitchen were just that, us talking and them sharing really, really intimate thoughts.

They were all afraid. Later, they're like, am I going to get fired? They all called me. They're like, is this okay? That's how vulnerable they felt. And I love that they were comfortable enough to do that and be that with me. Yeah, even the New York Times was like, they don't feel like you got, you're getting personal but not personal enough.

And I'm like, what more do they want? I know, like an x-ray. All right. All right. Did it hurt to do this, though? Like to do the home video thing? No, it felt great. Okay.

In every respect, it felt really, really great. And I'm really thankful to every woman in it that let me do it. And let me just hear them and capture it. Alright, we got more with Gerard Carmichael. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Gerard Carmichael in the building. Charlamagne? I really enjoyed, I don't know, was that your sister at the end of Sermon on the Mount when she was just talking about why men shouldn't cheat? Yeah.

And how it does fuck up the family. And I'm listening to her like, I'm sitting back like, preach. But this, you know, I'm a reformed cheater, so I understand everything she's saying. Black men don't cheat Yeah we don't Reformed Yes

Watch this Sunday I know one Just my dad But my dad My dad's R. Kelly And you gotta Jesus Christ He said that on there

And you corrected him Oh yeah my dad's R. Kelly A lot of people's dads Are R. Kelly You might not want to Admit it But you don't have to It's not in the literal sense

But in the emotional sense Yeah dads can be R. Kelly sometimes No You have to explain that. Just admit it. But you don't have to. It's not in the literal sense, but in the emotional sense, dads can be R. Kelly sometimes. No, you have to explain that. We think of R. Kelly, we think of a freaking pedophile who pees on little girls. That's not your father. Yeah, well, I mean, how do you think having four children, not my mom, during the marriage feels?

It feels like some pee happened. Something got pissed on. I don't know what the feels like some pee happened. Something got pissed on. I don't know what the fuck got pissed on. My heart got pissed on. This nigga peed on my heart. He's R. Kelly. Makes perfect sense. Now that makes perfect sense.

My dad's R. Kelly because he peed on my heart. There you go. That's the name of my memoir. On your underage heart. No, my underage heart, yeah. Yeah, he peed on an underage heart. That's f***ed up.

When you do something like home videos or Sermon on the Mount, is that your way of trying to establish a personal connection with the audience? Because as poppin' as you are and all the things you've done from sitcoms to movies, whatever else, you don't really have a connection with the audience, it seems like. Yeah, I think that I do, just not in the sense of social media. I'm always trying to connect. I do care about a connection with the audience. That's all I care about.

I want people to feel it. I want people to understand it or question it or throw rocks at it or even just hate it and walk away and like let that spark something i just want people to feel stuff uh i i am i'm always like exploring myself and exploring like things and so that manifests itself as work and came out as home videos and you know was in the carmichael show you know was in my stand-up, in the films I'm writing. It's like, it's all in seek of a connection, in search of a connection.

Like, I'm seeking, I'm seeking understanding. I am seeking being heard, you know, and that's why I'm not on, because when I say something or I make something, I want your attention. I really want your attention. I want you to watch it. Not a lot

of people watch the first one. Why do you think I'm here? I think it's great. I think that shit's incredible. It's gorgeous. The music's good. How did you feel when Rel got cancelled? That shit happened. Wow, why? It wasn't functioning.

It wasn't working. You know what I mean? That's have happened. Wow, why? It wasn't functioning. It wasn't working. You know what I mean? And that shit had rels still. I mean, that's my brother. I love him. It wasn't functioning. It didn't function right. It didn't find that rhythm.

You know what I mean? It didn't find the thing. And it was just like, I think it was a few ideas fighting each other, and it didn't really find its footing. It was a lot of talented, incredible people involved. And, like, if a thing's not functioning, I let it go. But do networks give it a chance, though? I mean, did he get a chance to find his rhythm?

He's going to kill me for this. He got a chance. Yeah, it was a fall release. No complaints from me on the launch of it, right? And, like, I didn't write it, but I was there to, like, I always find my role is, like, protecting. Like, my friends make stuff, and I make things with my friends. I just want to protect it, and whatever they want to do,

I want to, you know, run block for that. And, you know, so I tried to do my job there, but it just didn't connect. Did the passing of Kevin Barnett affect it in any way? Well, he died after. That affected us all in a

obvious, lingering way that it can affect it. That was after. I mean, we got dark sense of humor, so I obviously like to tell Rel that his show killed Kevin. Jesus Christ. But that's just us, though.

I don't expect you to do what you do with your framework, and you are beholden to that. But we can make those jokes. I hope you said that to him in person and not over text. Probably both. I'm sure there's all types of trails of those types of jokes. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

Jesus. Yeah, no, yeah. That would be the show to kill someone. If you're going to die after a show, it's... Goddamn, that was a f***ing rollercoaster. That bad, man. I loved it. No, it was...

No, I'm not saying the show. I'm saying it was a lot. When ideas are fighting each other, like when there's a conflict of ideas, it's tumultuous. It's not, you know. You spoke on home videos to your mom, and this was a headline. You said you hooked up with dudes before.

Yeah. I didn't know if you were joking or not. Oh, good. Good. I mean, it's like kind of, you know, it's obviously a line that you say in every one. I didn't even pay no attention. Like, it went over my head. Like, I was like, okay.

Yeah. And then I saw the headline. I was like, huh? I missed that. Yeah, which should be the feeling for that. Like, it went over my head. Like, I was like, okay. Yeah. And then I saw the headline. I was like, huh? I missed that. Yeah, which should be the feeling for that. Like, it's like I'd say it. I'd said it. It was a conversation with my mom.

I said it. And what else? Was it true? And if it is, what made you want to use that forum for that? I don't want that to feel exploitative. Like, home videos shouldn't feel that. And it's like, we all playing and we all, we all like naked in this thing then we're all naked in the thing and like and it's my mom and i you know i was curious to see what she would think of that in that moment and that was just such a pure moment of expression and so it happened it sounded like that was the first time she ever heard that it

was yeah wow so the whole family period that was the first time she ever heard that. It was, yeah. Wow. So the whole family, period, that was the first time they ever heard that? Some, yeah. What was the reaction to the family? Especially them hood-ass uncles and your hood-ass dad. I mean, nobody said, like... Yeah. Like, I mean, here's the thing. Like, to get hung up on anything that I say,

I'm always going to present things as honest as I can. And, like, sometimes, you know, there's a little bit of complexity to that that people can't accept. And I just accept that if you're just not going to accept that, you're not going to accept me, you're not going to accept my work. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with letting that go. I don't think that's anything that, like,

is in any way of disruption to life or to career, to personal relationships that I care about at all. Like, yeah, it seems silly otherwise. You know what I loved about it? I loved that you said that. You put it out there, and people really didn't give a f***. And I was like, yes, because I'm tired of the press conferences like again like be free money like say whatever the maybe it's not that maybe it's a conversation with your dad maybe it's a conversation with your mom maybe it's a conversation with your girl or

your boyfriend or you whatever be free express it express what you're feeling who you like be you yeah feeling. Like, be you. Yeah. Be comfortable. You know it's going to be pressure on you now to be an ally and be an advocate. I mean, I don't listen to any pressure to be anything other than me. You know what I mean?

And I express my views as I have them, and I share them, and I try and contribute as much as I can when I can. And I said, I don't look for like I'm not going to use anything to try and springboard. Like, you know, I won't use any status as any minority or any whatever. Like, you know, you don't need on none of it. I've never seen you lean on any of that stuff. Not even being black. No, I mean, it's inherent. Look at me.

Yeah. Dark as s***. What else do you want? Clear. I experience life as the look. You know what I mean? Like, I don't need to, like, I'm not gonna

abuse that. I actually, I really care. I'm not going to abuse it. I'm not going to use being black to springboard and whatever. Like, you know, if that's your route, then do it. But, you know, I know how beautiful black people are and their stories are and how complex that is, and I want to capture that. And I want to capture that even if it doesn't fit with the moment. I don't consider any of that.

I just capture what I think is beautiful. So a sermon on the mount, is this what you're hoping that it gives people? Just that ability to feel free? I hope it at least sparks the desire to want it. Yeah. If it's small, like whatever. I don't believe art cures cancer. So it's not like I'm like,

and this will change you. I'm not going to give you the Tony Robbins speech or whatever. It's just, again, a piece of emotion that I found interesting. But if it can spark within you something that you know you needed to do or say or a feeling you needed to express, then I'm very happy you watched. Yeah, I feel like it shows that uncomfortable conversations needed to express, then I'm very happy you watched. Yeah. I feel like it gives, it shows that uncomfortable conversations don't have to be uncomfortable. No.

That's what it shows. So not uncomfortable. Yeah. It's only as uncomfortable as we make them. Yeah. Yeah. Things are always as uncomfortable and as awkward as you make them. Yeah.

Yeah. My man, Gerard Carl Michael, when is the tournament on the mountain come out? Sunday. Well, thank you for coming man I appreciate you man You're one of my favorite people I love you man I love you too My man Gerard Carmichael

It's the Breakfast Club This is the Rumor Report With Angela Yee Well congratulations to Meek Mill He's now co-owner of Lids. That's dope. Yeah, that's amazing. So he made that announcement on Business Insider.

And that's all partly due to his close connection with Michael Rubin as well. So he said he has an approach to the new venture. And he studied and looked to Jay-Z in order to get this deal done. Don't drop on the clues bombs for Meek Mill. That should translate into some bread. He said, you know, this is my boss year. A lot of what I'm doing, I'm trying to get ownership and a lot of things to where I can still live comfortable

the way I was living in my prime years as a rapper. I'm just trying to build a foundation of some good businesses that'll keep me living good. And Lids, I've been shopping at Lids my whole life, wearing hats, fitteds, of course, fitted hats and caps, all types of hats. That's a good marriage. Lids must be having some trouble, but I can't see how they would be having some trouble because everybody's hats, fitteds, of course, fitted hats and caps, all types of hats. That's a great marriage. Liz must be having some trouble,

but I can't see how they would be having some trouble because everybody's still wearing fitteds. I'm just trying to figure out how he would end up with 50% of it is what I'm saying. I guess that whatever money he invested. Did they say 50%? I thought they said half, right? They said he's a co-owner.

They said co-owner. I don't know if it's fair. I thought they said half. Right, so that doesn't mean that. And I'm sure a lot of things are also moving online as well, too. So I'm sure that's going to be part of it. You know, so many retail locations are closing down. All right.

Now let's talk about Cameron. He was on social media yesterday and he had posted, twerk videos is played out, sis. Post a video of you reading out loud. That is turns me on. Let's check that pronunciation. Well, Juju responded in the shade room and she just put a rude child so i don't know what that response meant but it made cameron go on social

media and post a whole entire like three minutes addressing it here's what he said about why he ended up breaking up with juju first of all i want to start off with saying I'm not your enemy. I've learned what love for you is happy for everything you do. I didn't break up with you because it wasn't fun or anything like that. I broke up with you because you kept threatening to beat up one of my co-workers for unfollowing. I'm too old to beat somebody up or see somebody get beat up that brings me $300,000 a year for unfollowing. All right, he goes on to talk about all the things that he's done for Juju while they were together. I had no problem with you.

I got you on Love & Hip Hop. I negotiated the best first-time person on Love & Hip Hop. Your contract, you got it. I got you that money. You're still on for two pre-seasons now. And I'm happy for you. I didn't care about I supported you when you got your money done.

When you got your breast done. The lips, hair, laser, everything. I loved you with that. You didn't have to remove that. I was with you before that. Alright, so he got very, very petty. But when he was on The Breakfast Club, he did say it wasn't fun anymore,

and that's why they broke up, if you recall. Now, you and Juju broke up. What happened? It just wasn't fun anymore. You know what I'm saying? Like, I met Juju in 2002. She was my friend before we even started being serious. You know what I'm saying?

Like, that was my homegirl. Like, everything was fun. But for me, once Instagram came out, like, then it started getting serious. Why you following her? Or you like that person picture? Or people are saying this, and I'm like, yo, you got to be my best friend still.

You know what I'm saying? Because that's what I'm in it for. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I do know whenever Cam'ron goes on IG Live or anything with old music playing in the background, it's guaranteed to be entertaining. All right, well, Juju, last thing she posted was blessed, booked, and busy, and a flyer because she's going to be in Pittsburgh, and so go party with her. But, you know, I don't like to see this messiness happening between people who,

at one point, did really love each other. And I like Juju as a person. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Char that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlamagne, donkey of the day. Who are you giving it to? Let me tell you something. I'm very confused about today's donkey of the day. This is absolutely one of the stupidest stories that I've heard in a minute, so I

don't really know who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We're going to post a poll on Breakfast Club's Twitter page and let the people vote, and I'll tell y'all who's getting donkey at 9.30, but I will be here to tell you the story for after the hour. All right. And trust me, it's stupid.

All right, we'll get into that next. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Philo is the best way to watch TV, live or on demand. More than 50 channels you love, like VH1, BET, and, of course, Revolt. Best part?

So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the Day. a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey, he hung. Donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, June 27th is very complicated. I'm actually genuinely confused about this. It's one of those situations where you read the headline and you're like, what the hell?

But then you read the details of the story and you get a better understanding of what the hell is going on. So let me read the headline for you. Listen. Alabama woman shot in the stomach during fight indicted for the manslaughter of her unborn baby. Here's the context.

Marshae Jones has been indicted by a grand jury over the death of her unborn baby after she was shot in the stomach when she was five months pregnant. Let's go to the Hill for the report, please. An Alabama woman was indicted for manslaughter when she was shot and her unborn child died because a grand jury said she initiated the confrontation. Marshae Jones of Birmingham was five months pregnant when Ebony Jemison shot her in the stomach in December 2018. Jemison was charged with manslaughter by police, but the grand jury did not indict her, leading to the dismissal of the charges, AL.com reported. Pleasant Grove Police Lieutenant Danny

Reed argued Jemison had merely defended herself after Jones initiated the fight. I've never heard of anything like this. The shooting was the result of a fight between Marshae Jones and Ebony Jemison outside of a Dollar General store. Police Lieutenant Danny Reed alleges the fight stemmed because of the unborn baby's father. Lieutenant Reed also alleged the pregnant woman initiated the fight and therefore bore

some responsibility. Keyword, some responsibility regarding injury to the unborn child. The official statement is Ms. Jones initiated and continued the fight, which resulted in the death of her baby, who relied on her for child. The official statement is Ms. Jones initiated and continued the fight, which resulted in the death of her baby, who relied on her for protection. The fetus was dependent on its mother to try to

keep it from harm, and she shouldn't seek out unnecessary physical altercations. The young lady, Ebony Jemison, was initially charged with manslaughter, but the charge was dismissed when a grand jury failed to indict her. I am so confused by this situation. I absolutely feel like Marshae Jones does have a responsibility to that unborn child and her stomach.

No drinking alcohol, no drugs, no cigarettes, nothing that can affect the life of that unborn child. Being five months pregnant and initiating a fight with another woman over the baby daddy is absolute ignorance. Now, I'm all about my Second Amendment rights, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, so if Ebony had a gun and she's attacked, I can't be mad at her for protecting herself because that's what guns are for. Now, it's easy to say, hey, Ebony shouldn't have done that

to a pregnant woman, but I'm not going to tell Ebony how to react, okay? Pregnant or not pregnant, you have to defend yourself, okay? Your fight-or-flight instincts kicked in, and it's all about self-preservation. I understand. The problem I'm having with this situation is that when I read it, it just all sounds stupid.

Okay, Marsha is an absolute idiot. I have no remorse for anyone initiating a fight at five months pregnant. She made a poor choice, and it cost her the life of her baby. I'm just not sure if she should be charged with manslaughter. I mean, what if she was speeding in a car and got in a wreck and lost the baby? That's a poor choice, but would she be charged with manslaughter. I mean, what if she was speeding in a car and got in a wreck and lost the baby?

That's a poor choice, but would she be charged with vehicular manslaughter for that? Like, charge her with assault for starting a fight and then let her have to live with the guilt of causing her baby to be harmed. But charging her with manslaughter? I don't know about that one. I do understand that she is responsible

for the well-being of her unborn child, though, and fighting while being five months pregnant is definitely not responsible, but the backdrop of this happening in the state of Alabama, okay, where fetuses seem to have more rights than regular people, is really blowing me. So this is what I'm going to do, because I'm just not sure of who should get donkey of the day.

Alright, you know we do donkey of the day replay 9.30 a.m. every morning. We got a poll on Breakfast Club's Twitter page. And you tell me who should get donkey. Who should get this hee-haw? Should it be Marshae Jones, the young woman who lost her baby and was charged with manslaughter? Should it be Ebony Jemison, the young lady who actually shot the young lady in self-defense?

Or should it be the law enforcement in Alabama who charged Marshae Jones with manslaughter? All right, go to at Breakfast Club a. club AM's Twitter page and let us know. And at 930 AM, we will crown the donkey of the day in this situation. Because I really don't know who should get donkey of the day in this situation. Because this whole story needs to get the credit it deserves for being stupid to me. But I'll let y'all decide. All right. We'll decide at 930. Up next, ask Yee.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Time to ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

Hey, good morning. This is Lena. Hey, Lena. What's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. This is Lena. Hey, Lena. What's your question for Yee? My question is, should the upkeep of a man's home when you're dating him or the appearance that he has you see when you're first dating, should that be a deal breaker if it's not so good? How bad is it? So I met this man

online and it was all going fine and after a month and a half he was like, you know what? Why don't you come over to my place, and I'll make you dinner. And I said, okay, cool. When I came over, it was really bad. Like, there was dog food on the counter. Ew. And it looked like it's been there for a while.

Okay, what else? Like, it was really weird. And then I sat on his bed. Like, I was waiting for him to, like, finish. So I sat on his bed, and I don't know if him to, like, finish. So I sat on his bed. And I don't know if it was fleas that bit me. Oh, hell no. Why you sit on his bed, though?

Fleas didn't bit me. She's dating him. Because there was no couch. Girl, so it sounds like he a kid. How old is he? This man was damn near 35. Oh, hell, girl, please. He do not have his life together if he don't have his place together. That's disgusting.

And how can you date somebody whose house you don't even want to go to? I would tell him. See, I did. See, and that's the thing. Like, I, because he was like, after I was like, listen, I think I'm having like an allergic reaction to something. Um, I'm gonna run to the pharmacy and get like a Benadryl. Like, cause I'm itchy. And he, I didn't really talk to him till the rest

of the night. And the next day he's like is everything okay and I was like uh no like I got bit by something like this is weird and he couldn't understand like he wasn't fathoming he's like oh well that's like a deal breaker and I'm like oh I'm itchy as hell that I come to your house and get bit by fleas and bed bugs yes that's a deal breaker ever again he was like so yeah so I just want to know on your end would that be a whole deal breaker? That would be a deal breaker for me. Somebody dirty, because if he has those bugs in his house and he comes to your house, he's

bringing them there. He got to get his life together. Imagine a life with somebody like that. Imagine y'all end up being together and living together. Yuck. His hygiene. Hygiene is so important. But she said she wasn't going to date him again. She just said she's not going back to his crib. Okay, he's going to bring them bugs to your house.

She should never date him again. You should never see this man again. She got to make sure she didn't bring those bugs herself. That's what she's asking. She's asking, is this a deal breaker? Yes, it's a damn deal breaker. How we know she ain't bring them roaches? He might have some of them bugs in his pubic hair. How you know she didn't bring them though? Oh, no.

Oh, damn. But even there's a level of maturity of taking care of yourself, of that, that you should be concerned about. If he's not cared about his own hygiene, how is he going to care about you? Did you kiss him? Before I saw him out. You kissed him. You might have him bugs in your mouth now.

You better go to the doctor. Y'all putting a lot of blame. You might have him bugs in your mustache. Y'all putting a lot of blame on this guy. You don't know if this girl bought them fleas herself. I definitely brought no fleas to my house, and that's where I thought it was a level of disrespect because he's been to my house and I take my house for free.

Like, how dare he even try to, yeah, he could have cleaned up. You might have some fleas in your hand, mama. Yeah, like, if you know that my house is clean, like, and you know I'm coming and you knew far in advance, it wasn't like, oh, I'm in the neighborhood, let me drop by. Like, he knew from like four days before. Yeah, girl. And then he didn't even wipe his

kitchen counter. Nope, nope. You gotta move on. Sorry. Okay. You should go get yourself checked out, though. Make sure you ain't got no fleas, nothing on your mustache or your hair or nothing like that. Imagine it. He probably don't even brush his teeth every night. He probably don't clean his butt after he goes to the bathroom. That's right. You might have a cavity now.

You better go to the dentist. Yeah, but what if he's a great guy? You can teach him all these things, you know. At 35? Yes. That's what I was might have a cavity now. You better go to the dentist. Yeah, but what if he's a great guy? You can teach him all these things, you know. At 35? Yes. That's what I was dealing with. That's where I was battling. He's really nice. He showed no signs of lack of hygiene before I went to his house.

Mom, I know it's hard out there trying to find a man, but that's not the one for you. He's a single, bum-ass man. All he needs is a woman's touch. With fleas? Yes. No. What are we talking about? Hire that man and exterminate him. Clean woman's touch. With fleas? Yes. What are we talking about? Hire that man and exterminate her. Clean his

house up. She should clean his house. He shouldn't clean his own house. Men suck at that. If he don't clean his house, he don't clean his b******, man. That ain't true. I shouldn't have to clean your house for you. Alright, honey. Good luck. Listen, you deserve better, okay? Get somebody on your level of cleanliness.

Well. I appreciate it. Thank you. All right, Ask Ian. Thank God for my wife. Thank God for my wife always telling me to pick stuff up. But you ain't got no fleas, man. Fleas is crazy.

No. They might be crabs. You didn't even know if it was fleas. You're right. 800-585-1051. ASCII is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of ASCII. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Billie. Hey, Billie. How old are you first, Billie? Wait, wait, wait.

How old are you first? 18. Okay, go ahead. What's your question? It's close, close to the limit. I had a relationship question for Miss Angela. Okay. So there's this guy that I've been talking to and seen for a while, actually, since February.

And just, like, a lot of fishy stuff going on. Like, I asked him if he had an Instagram so I could, like, see his pictures and see what he's about. Mm-hmm. And he said he didn't have one, but I saw on mutual friends that we have, like, posting pictures and tagging him in it. Okay, so he has an Instagram.

He lied about that. Okay, what else? And then when I first met him, I asked him how old he was. He said he was 19. And I saw on our mutual friend's Snapchat story, it's like them celebrating his 21st birthday, which means, like, he lied about that too. And so I'm wondering, like, is this, like,

he tells me that he has feelings for me and everything like that. He could be lying about that, too. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, is this, like, should I drop this guy? Yes! Or should I, like, confront him about it? Okay, so, Billie, why do you think he lied about these things? When you looked at his page, what was on there?

It's private, and I'm too scared to follow him because I don't want him to, like, think that I'm, like, stalking him or something. You've been dating him since February. He lied to you about having an Instagram page, and you're the one that's scared to follow him and let him know something when he's the liar? Yeah, I guess. And I'm also scared about, like, what if I see something on there?

Like, what if I've been a side chick this whole time? So would you rather not know? Oh, my goodness. I don't know. Billie, have y'all had sex? Yes. Billie, here's the thing. You need to find out.

First of all, yes, you should definitely send him that friend request so his heart can drop to his feet and he can feel like an idiot for lying to you. Then you should say, why did you lie to me about having a social media page? You know we have mutual friends. Did you think I would never find that out? And why did you lie to me about having a social media page? You know we have mutual friends. Did you think I would never find that out? And why did you lie to me about your age?

And you should see how he answers those questions. And you should tell him, okay, I want to see what's going on in your world. I need you to accept my friend request, and I want to see what's happening. Okay. I mean, like, I'll try that. Billy, if you're going to have sex with somebody and give away that part of yourself and that intimacy, then you should be able to ask any question

that you want to ask and he should answer you honestly because he owes you that. There's no reason that he should have to lie to you. What's his Instagram page, Billy? I'm going to do it for you. What's his Instagram page? Let's follow him. It's... Spell it for me. It's underscore

E-S-T-***. All right, I'm going to follow him for you, all right? Don't worry, we're not going to put his name on here. But, yes, girl, listen. If you have the ability to have sex with somebody, lay down with them, give up that piece of yourself, put that trust in someone else, you can ask any question you want to ask. You should never feel scared to ask somebody something.

Yes, ma'am. That is your right to ask anything, and you should feel comfortable enough to do that. Why did you lie to me about this? Was he your first? Yes. Oh, my gosh. I'm about to whoop his ass.

Don't be playing with my little girl's heart now. I know you're not my daughter, but that's how I feel right now. You know, it's unfortunate that he's a liar, but I do think that you gotta ask these questions. And just see how he answers them. Why would he lie about his age? How can you trust somebody like that? Do you trust him? Do you believe anything that he says now? No.

I'm sorry, Mama. Alright, well, listen, we care about you. And you need to do the same. You need to care about you. Can I ask you another question? Did you use protection? Yes. Every time? Every time. Good. Okay. Billy, we care about you. You care about you too, right?

Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Good luck, alright? And if you have any... You know what? You hold on the line because I'm going to give you Yee's number so if you have any other problems, you can call Yee. Alright. Thank you so much. I'm sending him a friend request right now. I know you sound so concerned, but you tell her to call Yee. I'm so concerned. He's not going to talk to us. I'm sending him a friend request right now. I know you sound so concerned, but you tell her to call Yee. I'm so concerned. He's not going to talk to an 18-year-old girl.

I don't know. He sounds so concerned. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you my number, and you can call Yee. I'm going to give Yee Yee's number. It's not my number. I'm going to give Yee Yee's number. It just made me feel like she was one of my daughters.

You know what I mean? That's what I said. That's why I thought she was about to be big bro. I am, but I'm a big bro through Ye. I don't think her mom or dad would want her talking to Envy. He's a grown man. I don't want to be talking to her. I'll talk through Ye. Alright, ask Ye.

800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Birdman. He was talking about messy interviews. Alright, we'll get into that next. What you think that is? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Ye, we'll get into that next. What do you think that is? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Thank you so much. You're welcome. Good luck, alright? And if you have any you know what? You hold on the line because I'm going to give you Yee's number so if you have any other problems, you can call

Yee. Alright. Thank you so much. I'm sending him a friend request right now. I don't know how you sound so concerned but you tell her to call Yee. I'm so concerned. He's not going to talk to an 18-year-old girl. I don'te. I'm so concerned. Because he's not going to talk to an 18-year-old girl. I don't know. He sounds so concerned. This is what I'm going to do.

I'm going to give you my number so you can call Yee. I'm going to give Yee Yee's number. Not my number. I'm going to give Yee Yee's number. It just made me feel like she was one of my daughters. You know what I mean?

That's what I said. That's why I thought she was about to be big bro. Yeah, but I'm going to be big bro through Yee. I don't think her mom or dad would want her talking to Envy. How about I don't want to be talking to her. I'll talk through Ye.

All right. Ask Ye. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes. Let's talk about Birdman. He was talking about messy interviews. All right.

We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. What do you think that is? It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.

Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Birdman recently sat down with Nick Cannon and talked about messy interviews. Here's what he had to say, and I don't know who he's talking about. Why is it that people feel like it's a necessity in the radio space or even all these interviews everybody got a show now that they feel like they want to be messy and talk about stuff that we know as solid individuals we don't want to talk about that. Where does that energy come from and how do we change that? You know radio is a hell of a job. Some people take

it completely out of content but very disrespectful and downplay the artist. So when the disrespect come, I think, you know, I know they got to do a job, but it's still a line. You know, as a man and as a person, sometimes you got to check that shit. Well, we have never had a messy interview with Birdman because we've never had a Birdman interview. All right, we had a Birdman moment.

And I feel like Nick Cannon be doing some things, but he talking a little crazy. That's why I say Nick Cannon's always putting his damn foot in his mouth. Nick Cannon, you on that radio every morning, okay, for the next however long you choose to do it, you gonna be messy too. Alright? But even when he had his own, was it a podcast? Remember when he hosted for

Wendy's show for that week? Yes. You was on there being a little messy-ass hoe. Let's take it too far. He called him a messy-ass hoe. But Birdman wasn't messy. Birdman, but Charlamagne just said... He wasn't talking about y'all. Oh, okay.

I don't know. Maybe he was. But Birdman is right, though. Radio personalities don't think you can say whatever you want to say, and the artists can't react however they want to react. Correct. They can't react however they want to. Correct.

Whether that's storming in here, whether that's punching you in the face, whether that's calling you a sucker. Chasing you out on the street. That's right. I've had it all. I don't even respect you media personalities who ain't never got punched upside the head, to be totally honest with you. Y'all just talking.

Not too many of them, though. He also has a new film project with Chris Brown coming out, FYI. Who, Burtman? Yeah. Oh, that's dope. That's it? That's dope. Just make sure you weren't being messy. Oh, shut up. I want to know why Nick Cannon being so messy. I'm like, he ain't about to be messy on that damn radio.

He just did that. That was kind of messy. That was messy. Okay, wait till them numbers come back. That head wrap radio ain't going to work for so long. All right, Nick Cannon. All right, now the Lion King is breaking advanced ticket sales. According to Fandango and Adam Tickets,

they're saying that's breaking records for straight up Disney movies. And they said the first day sales of advance tickets topped the mark that was previously held by Beauty and the Beast back in 2017.

When does it come out? This weekend? You gonna go see it? Yeah, I'm gonna take my kids. Alright. Lion King comes out this weekend for real? The film comes out

July 19th. Oh. So you guys can go this weekend and see what happens. No, I'm with Spider-Man. Far from home. Alright, VH1. They're doing eight one- can go this weekend and see what happens. No, I'm with Spider-Man. Far from home. All right.

VH1, they're doing eight one-hour episodes of Love and Listings. Now, what is that show? Well, it's set in Southern California, and it's a real estate docuseries. And you know who it stars? Hmm. Suge Knight's son, Jacob Knight. So that's going to be premiering Wednesday, July 31st. What is the show about?

Real estate in Southern California. I knew that, but what is he doing? He's a real estate trainee and he's trying to recover from his family legacy. So I guess they'll show him with some celebrity clientele trying to show them houses, trying to be a real estate mogul. Yeah, it's about a blood trying to sell real estate to a

crip in a blood neighborhood. That would be gangster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm watching. Well, his celebrity clientele will include people like Jemaine Dupri, Jordan Sparks, Amber Rose, Ray J, and Brandy, and Laz Alonzo. Okay. FYI. All right, J. Cole, he has unveiled the documentary trailer for Revenge of the Dreamers 3. Are you guys excited about that? It's a new film called Revenge, and that movie actually is going to chronicle the making of Revenge of the Dreamers 3.

And last but not least, I do want to talk about Lala and Carmelo Anthony. Let's make sure we get this Carmelo audio up again, Dramos. And, you know, earlier today we were talking about how Carmelo was spotted on a yacht with a woman. And that went viral. So a lot of people were weighing in saying that he was cheating on a yacht with a woman and that went viral. So a lot of people were weighing in saying that he was cheating on Lala. Who's this woman that he's with in Europe? Well, he has responded because the heat was crazy and he wanted to explain himself. Keep my family out this, man.

I'm over here trying to do my business retreat. I'm over here trying to have a good time. I'm on the boat with some friends. Them people are married, man. They ain't got nothing to do with anything. Y'all trying to expose, y'all exposing somebody's wife, y'all exposing somebody's kids, all that. Like, come on.

No, I got to deal with that. I got to deal with that with my son. I got to deal with that with my wife. That's what I'm saying, man. Here's the thing about social media. You see pics with zero context, and you jump to conclusions based off what you feel is going on. Then when the person comes out and explains it like Melo did,

you don't believe him because you don't want to. You already got your mind made up. Right. Well, his alleged child's mother, because there's a woman that they're saying is his baby mom, that he had a side baby, she posted N-Words out here explaining how they're laid up on a boat with another man's wife but can't explain why they can't spend time

with their daughter. Hashtag explain that. And then she posted another hashtag after she came to our census. And what did she say? Black men don't cheat. That's exactly what she said. She put that hashtag. Can you post that for us?

It was on Jasmine Brand. It was on Jasmine Brand. Let me look at Jasmine Brand right now. It was definitely on Jasmine Brand. And I was there. Now, I thought that. You said it was there? No, it was there.

It was there. She posted that, and then she came to our census and said, Black men don't cheat. Let me see if I see this black men don't cheat here. I thought they had a gag on her where she couldn't really post anything and post pictures and say anything. That's what I thought. Well, maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know what that is about, but I do know when it comes to that picture, that can easily be misconstrued because we take family and friends vacations all the time, and if you're lying on the beach in the chair next to, you know, one of your wife's homegirls, one of your homegirls, or next to your man's girl or his wife. People could take a pic of that, and that could be out of context too. Let's say hubby just went to the bar to get some drinks for everybody. You just never know.

You never know on a boat or on the beach. It's like everybody laying side by side next to each other. Like, that could happen. That's all I'm saying. Okay. Well, she did write hashtag black men don't cheat. Black men don't cheat. Finally, somebody tells the truth.

How ironic is that? All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Oh, and shout out to Natina. She sent us breakfast. Thank you, Natina. Natina, you lied. You texted everybody and told them you were sending them breakfast. You texted me this morning and said, I'm sending you breakfast because your birthday is on Saturday.

And you text Yee last night and told her that you were sending her breakfast because you love her. He didn't say nothing about your birthday. Exactly. Then you text Envy and said you were sending him breakfast. So you're just out here playing all sides, huh, Natina? Selling guns to everybody. She definitely told me she was sending breakfast. I got the text right here.

I ordered a breakfast bread from Bubby's for your birthday. It'll be there between 8 and 8.30. And that's exactly why I text back, I'm not hungry. You got to stop ordering pork bacon, too, girl. I love you text right here. I ordered a breakfast bread from Bubby's for your birthday. It'll be there between 8 and 8.30. And that's exactly why I text back, I'm not hungry. You got to stop ordering pork bacon too, girl. I love you, Natina. Yeah, she said, I ordered breakfast for you guys. It's going to arrive 8, 8.30. She ain't say nothing about Charlamagne Burberry.

Exactly. But I got the text right here. Then she said, why'd you get breakfast this morning? I told you, I ordered you breakfast. I'm like, oh, I thought it was a juice. I love you though, Natina. She's like, I just sent it to you because Envy, I love you. I don't really love the rest.

She said all that. Definitely don't believe that. All right. I want to close my mouth on Latina, too. Latina got some good news. Some good what? What? Some good news.

Oh, news. I thought you said moves. I thought you said moves. I was like, damn. All right. Mixes like men don't cheat, man. That's Latina. What's wrong with these people?

Let's go. I told y'all at 9.30 a.m. I was going to tell y'all who was going to get donkey of the day. We put a poll up on Breakfast Club AM's Twitter page. It's going to be up for the next 23 hours. But in the first hour, we got over 1,100 votes. And 21% of the people say Marshae Jones, who got shot at, should get donkier today. 14% of the people say Ebony Jameson, the shooter, should get donkered today. But 65

percent of people say law enforcement is to blame for charging Marshae Jones with manslaughter when she is the woman that was pregnant, got shot, and lost her baby. So if that's what the people say, then this is what's going to happen. Please give law

enforcement in Alabama the biggest hee-haw. Alright, when we come back, David John will be joining us. Today is National HIV Testing Day, so we'll chop it up with him. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. David John, welcome back, sir. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you being here. Good morning, my brother. How are you? Doing all right. Now, today is National HIV Testing Day.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is. And you come up here every year during this time to spread awareness and tell people how they can get tested. And we also are doing testing at Juices for Life in Brooklyn. Yes. And that's going to be on Saturday. Excited about that. Yes. Thank you for the opportunity. So let's talk about it a little bit. Yeah. And that's going to be on Saturday. Excited about that. Yes. Thank you for the opportunity. So let's talk about it a little bit.

Yeah. This is an annual day, an opportunity for us to be reminded that we are still dealing with the HIV epidemic. It has been more than two decades and black and Latino, Latinx communities

continue to be hit hardest. I appreciate now that we are beyond believing that this is a gay disease or something that just affects gay people. We have a lot of conversation, particularly over the last year, around black women, women of color, Latinx women, and how they're affected. And what we're really hoping is that three things happen. One, we take opportunities to cut through the stigma, which I appreciate.

This is a platform for us to do that. You guys have been really helpful in that regard. The second thing is to, again, encourage people to get tested. The theme for this year's National HIV Testing Day is Do It In My Way. So put on an Usher CD, think about what it is that matters to you most. Some people will get that later. But the point here is that, right, like some people don't like to draw blood. You can swab your mouth.

You can get Orquick. You can go to the clinic. You can go to the clinic. You can do this at home. There's no reason why you shouldn't know your status and then get connected to care. And then the last thing that we haven't talked much about here, but I think is really important, is that there are people thriving with HIV. I found myself saying over the last couple of weeks, name a highly visible, very public person of color beyond Magic Johnson who is living with HIV. We don't know. I don't know.

But factually that can't be true. I actually do know some because I've met some people that do come to the Juice Bar that have told me that they're HIV positive and they look like

it doesn't look like they're walking around you know struggling they look just regular. No that's a good thing. People are thriving with HIV. Yes and that's a good thing and a bad thing and I'll tell you why. It's a great thing because people people are thriving with HIV. Yes, and that's a good thing and a bad thing,

and I'll tell you why. It's a great thing because people are actually thriving with it and being able to live with it, but it's a bad thing because people aren't taking it as serious as they used to because they don't consider it as life-threatening. Not all people, right? So it is also the weekend before,

the week before World Pride Day in New York, which is where the celebration is. And for white LGBTQ people and for white people generally, HIV is not really a thing, right? The rates in those communities are so low, both with regard to transmission and with regard to people who are actually living with HIV, that in many ways it's something that they can move past. But that's just simply not true for us. And so it's incredibly important to take advantage of days like this, but also every other day to have conversations to ensure that people get tested and to lift up and support

people who are thriving with the virus. How often should people get tested? The CDC recommends every six months generally. Again, and this is for people who are not in committed monogamous relationships where they don't have to consider things like this. But for people who are in high risk categories, right, black women in particular, black men who have sex with men, which is a category the CDC uses, which is problematic because they lump in black trans women who are not men who have sex with men.

They recommend that it's every three months. I do it every year when we do our testing events. That's interesting because you said that because I had a conversation with two white men, and they said they would rather have HIV than herpes. And I was like... Where'd that come from?

In their mind, they think that herpes is the outbreak was like... Where'd that come from? Because in their mind, they think that herpes is the outbreak and they think that it's visible and you can see it. But with HIV, you don't necessarily see it and you can thrive with it. So both are problematic, right?

And this is why spaces like this are really important in Words Matter. We have a toolkit, Words Matter HIV, that in part highlights this. When HIV was first introduced, people used to talk about it and want us to imagine that it was a virus

that was bubbling up in somebody's body and at any point might ooze on to somebody else, right? That's also how people walked around thinking it was a death sentence and you could actually identify somebody living with HIV. The reality is that it doesn't work like that. And so we should be mindful of the fact that one who is HIV positive is more susceptible

to being infected with other sexually transmitted infections, which is now the term the CDC uses, but that there are ways to prevent becoming positive or infected, period. Alright, well we appreciate you for joining us. David Johns, give me your Twitters and Instagrams

and all that. Mr. David Johns across platforms, also follow MBJC on the move. All of the information about National HIV Testing Day is on there. We're also having a Twitter chat this afternoon at 2. So you can find

more information. If there are other questions, you can hit us up on there. I appreciate y'all. And if you think he's talking fast, it's because he has a flight to catch.

Thank you. We appreciate it. Never not working. It's David Johns. It's The Breakfast Club. Positive notes up next. Hey everybody, it's DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Positive notes up next. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Again, we got a shout-out to Gerard Carmichael for joining us this morning. Also, David John for stopping through as well. Yes, sir. Salute to Gerard Carmichael. Salute to David Johns. Damn, I guess we could say two proud gay men.

Two proud black gay men. Now, today is also National HIV Testing Day, so you know you can always find out where you can get tested for free locally. And we just wanted to make sure everyone's aware of that. I get tested every year. Me too. Not me, I'm married. I do it to support I get a physical every year. That is

true. I do it to support other people getting tested. When you go to the doctor, you don't always have to get HIV tested. They ask you if you want to get that. They don't just do it. They take your blood and test you for everything. tested. When you go to the doctor, you don't always have to get HIV tested. They ask you if you want to get that. Yeah, they ask you.
