The big show's in November.

In order for him to win and be the actual governor. To be the actual governor. But the fact that he was a long shot and was the underdog and he was picked to come in like third. It was an upset according to reports. That's a great upset. Congratulations to Andrew Gillum. Beautiful day. Definitely appreciate it.

Let's hear it from the mayor of New York City. I, Bill de Blasio, as mayor of New York City, do hereby declare Tuesday, August 28th, 2018 in the city of New York as Angela Yee Day. Alright. Drop on a clue box, Angela Yee.

I didn't know that was happening. You didn't know? No, I knew I was getting a proclamation. And it was also, they do this annual West Indian celebration because the West Indian Day Parade's coming up. Yep, this weekend. So every year they honor somebody. I didn't know I was getting a day. And yesterday's a great day to have gotten.

Yes. You know, Ava DuVernay has a movie coming out about August 28th. Really? Yeah, because that's the day that Martin Luther King gave his I Have a Dream speech. Okay. That's also the day that, unfortunately, Emmett Till was murdered, but it set off a whole civil rights

activist movement as well. And Andrew Gillum went to be the candidate for governor. So today's a very special, oh, yesterday's a very special day, so you have to plan something big on that day every year now. Yes, I will. Like trade day. Now it's going to be ye day.

Yeah, I'm excited. I'm really, really excited. Thanks for coming out and supporting everybody that has shown some love. And they also made me the ambassador for the New York Public Libraries yesterday. Nice. As well, which is a big deal. The library offers a lot more than just books. In a lot of cities, it does.

I got to see Gracie Mansion yesterday. I didn't even know what Gracie Mansion was. It's where the mayor lives. It's where the mayor lives. I thought it was in Central Park. I had no idea where Gracie Mansion was. I didn't even know what Gracie Mansion was. That's where the mayor lives. That's where the mayor lives. I had no, I thought it was in Central Park. I had no idea what Gracie Mansion was. We went yesterday.

It was a lot of people out there supporting you. 1,200 people. And it was a dope event. So shout to the mayor. Shout to the mayor's wife. We had a great time. Shalane McRae.

And, um. Yeah, thank you guys. It was hot. It was, yeah, it was 100 degrees. It was like 100 degrees. It was hot. Unfortunately,

it was 100 degrees out. It was hot. But it was a great celebration. And shout out to the New York Public Library as well. They do a lot of things there. Like, they give you job training, tech training. All that stuff is free. Citizenship courses.

A lot of different things that happen at the library. So it's not just books. There's a lot more that you can do, too. Well, congratulations to you. Thank you. I got to see his dad. His dad had on a... He looked terrible.

I was like, what are you wearing? He had on... he looked like he was on an island. He had like a flower shirt on. He was like, I thought it was a West Indian celebration. I said, what are you wearing? He said, West Indians. Yeah, that's what I thought. I said, you know what, Papi? I'm not mad at you. Well, we have another terrible dresser that will be joining us

this morning. That's right. Charlemagne the God. Well, no. Joe Button will be here. Joe Button will be here. We'll kick it with Joe Button in a little bit. And we got front page news. Yes. Okay, we talked about Andrew Gillum, but we're going to talk about STDs

and how it could be affecting you. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get into some front page news. You're not going to say powerhouse performer, little baby, featuring Drake? We're in 80 markets, sir. Okay, so why did we announce it at 8 o'clock yesterday then, the 80 markets? We were forced. We have a contest to fly people out. Yeah, we have a contest to fly people out. All right, so yes, that's one of our powerhouse performers then.

But let's get in front page news. Yes, STDs have hit an all-time high for the fourth straight year in the United States. They're saying there's been a spike in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. And that's exactly why every now and then I salute people with herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, because I want everyone to be represented. Well, they did find a 67% increase in gonorrhea diagnosis, and they're saying there's an alarm over the growing threat of untreatable strains. So imagine that.

So that's why you guys have got to make sure that, A, you use protection, and, B, you get tested if you know you haven't. We're dropping the clues bombs for everybody suffering from the STD who listens to The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You are appreciated. All right. Now here's some news that I think is, I mean, you know what?

I hate to say it's just good news because it is good news, but it's good news that comes think is, I mean, you know what? I hate to say it's just good news because it is good news, but it's good news that comes from tragedy. A white former Texas police officer has been found guilty of murder, and that is for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager. If you guys remember, Roy Oliver fired into a moving car carrying five black teenagers who were leaving a house party and ended up killing 15-year-old Jordan Edwards, who was a passenger. Now, he did say that he opened fire because the car moved toward his partner, but his partner is saying he never thought he was in danger at all, didn't fear for his life, and never even felt the need to fire his own weapon.

So now he has been convicted. Well, that shouldn't even be good news. That should be regular. That should be justice. That should be what happens. But it doesn't. You know what I mean? But it doesn't.

That's not something that should just be applauded. So hopefully this is going to be a precedent moving forward.. But it doesn't. You know what I mean? But it doesn't. That's not something that should just be applauded. So hopefully this is going to be a precedent moving forward. No, it won't. So that police officers know there are some type of, you know, something will happen. It won't be, though. If you kill an unarmed black teen or anybody that's unarmed. This is the exception. You know what the rule is.

All right. And congratulations to Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. Hey! Congratulations to Andrew Gillum. Drop one of Cluese Mayor Andrew Gillum. Hey! Congratulations to Andrew Gillum. Drop one of Clues bombs for Andrew Gillum. He brought him out. How much did he win by yesterday?

He's now going to be... Does anybody know? They said with 94% of the votes counted as of yesterday, he had an unofficial three percentage point lead over his closest rival. It was still pretty close.

Yeah, I think it was like 20, 30,000 votes, something like that. They're saying this is the highest turnout for a midterm primary election in Florida history. Wow. And so he led by a whole lot in Miami-Dade and Broward County.

So those are the two largest Democratic counties. And a lot of people came out and showed their support. Here's what he had to say. There were just a few people who said that this moment would not be possible. And then there were a few more who believed that this moment would not be possible. And then there were a few more who believed that this thing was possible. I realize that for some, they are just tuning into the possibility

of what this means for all of us, right? And I want you to know that this thing is not about me. It never has been, and it never will be. This race is about every last single one of us. Okay, the first thing that we have to do is start donating to Andrew Gillum's campaign because he's going to need all that money and all those resources in November because the brother needs a better microphone. He definitely needs a better microphone.

That audio was terrible. Horrible. My God. That was the handheld with the batteries. That's the batteries about to go dead on that microphone. My God. I didn't get a man a Fisher-Price microphone when the man just became

the first Democratic, what is it, first candidate governor? Nomination for governor. There you go. God damn, man. Jesus Christ. Y'all couldn't get

a better microphone? All right. My God. My last front page news. I'm going to close bombs for Andrew Gillum, man. Out there in Florida keeping it real.

We're going to set up a mic, man. We're going to get him a mic, man. We're going to get him a mic, man. My God. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Let's break up the mother-mother phone and dial it. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? It's Rick from Brooklyn.

Abby, what's up? Rick, what's popping, man? Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, I want to just talk about the Jordan Edwards situation. The kid, the cop that got found guilty in Houston. I'm glad that some kind of justice was given. We got to keep broadcasting these verdicts so people know that, listen, you got to stand up

because something is coming out of it. I'm so glad that he got found guilty. And I'm saluting his partner because he was the one that said that he never felt threatened at any time. Right. That's part of the reason why he got convicted. So, and I mean, I feel good going to work this morning. I have two sons, man. My son is 10. My other son is two. And I mean, I'd be scared for them sometimes growing up knowing that, you know, the world is out here so dangerous that cops are not here to serve and protect. So when they get, you know, when they get found guilty for things they do wrong,

we gotta celebrate that. Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, even though I know this is the exception and not the rule, maybe it's a step in the right direction. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Michael Anthony McMillan from Long Beach, California. Why are you saying your whole name, sir? Why did you say your whole name just now? Uncle Charlie, you'll know in a second.

Okay. Anyway, I just want to say that I'm blessed because I know that my future is getting brighter. I know that I'm going to be working with some of my idols soon. And my idols are like Ava DuVernay, Issa Rae, Shonda Rhimes, Will Smith. I know I'm going to be working with them soon. Okay, there you go. Put it in the app. Great people.

Yeah. I'm just, you know, I write for a living and stuff, and I work really hard. I'm an actor and a podcaster as well, so I'm putting them out on blast, letting them know that if they ever need a writer's assistant or anything like that, I am willing to PA. I'm willing to intern at their writer's rooms and everything.

I'm out here. Sir, that's not how any of this works, sir. Shoot your shot. He shoot his shot, though. He shoot his shot. This is not a place to put out your resume. You know? Nope.

Yeah, you can do what he wants. I highly doubt one of them is going to say, you know what? I heard a great guy on the radio this morning that we should hire. You never know. She might be listening right now. And that's why he said his full name. You never know. That's not how the TV business works, sir.

I'm sorry. Hello, who's this? This is Chandler from Columbus, Ohio. Good morning, y'all. What's up, Chandler? How's it going, brother? Nothing much, nothing much. I want to get off my chest.

They're going to say I'm hating. Okay. But Columbus Public City Schools, man, we can't afford air conditions. So what they've been doing is closing the schools. They just started school last week. They're already closing the schools for half of the day, saying it's too hot. Like, stop spoiling these kids. The snow's coming up.

We had to go when it was 100 degrees. We just had to use fans. That was 40 years ago, man. Nope, I agree with him. Some schools be out, man. Nope, I agree with you, sir. I agree with you 100%, okay? It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. You got to, you got to, if your ancestors can be on the slave ships singing songs in that heat, they weren't allowed to quit. They weren't allowed to get a half a day on the slave ship over here. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. So we got to quit spoiling these kids. I'm with you, bro. It's too hot.

How about we get some money and some funding to get some air conditioning? Get some air conditioning. At least get some fans or something. Because you know what the kids do once they get home? Probably go outside. No, I doubt it. They don't play outside no more. Get it off your chest.

on your big day. Thank you, thank you. I hope your toes were looking good yesterday, girlfriend. Two, I had a real-life encounter with Janet Jackson. I was on your sister's station, KTU, with Cubby and Carolina, and it was National Foot Rub Day,

and Janet was coming in a half hour after I spoke to her. So I said, play this for Janet. I said, Janet, let me rub your feet. Your toes look good enough to eat. Let's do it while the DJ drops a beat. Janet, let me rub your feet. So they played it for Janet. Janet thought it was whack.

She says, oh, no, no, no. I'm not into toes and feet. And they said, well, Big Chocolate wanted to do this for you. So she got to hear it, but she didn't like it. So, you know, shout out to Janet Jackson. I wish her luck with the single. What do y'all think about it? With her single? No, your single. My little rhyme.

I'm just waiting for the Me Too movement to get a hold of you, Big Chocolate, the toe sucker. Why is that bowling ball? Your sexual harassment game is crazy. I'm just waiting for the Me Too movement to get a hold of you, Big Chocolate, the Toad Sucker. Why is that bowling ball head? Because, I mean, your sexual harassment game is crazy. Okay? You make me uncomfortable. Oh, my gosh. You gotta understand the creativity, right, Envy?

You gotta understand the creativity. That's what you want to call it? I call it creep-a-tivity. Oh, my goodness. You shut up, bowling ball head. Thank you, Chocolate, the Toad Sucker. All right. Hello, who's this?

And I also wanted to say, how come y'all don't ever have no guest host when y'all go on vacation? What do you mean, guest host? Because there's two other people to hold it down.

Oh, you want somebody to take over for all of us? I mean, like, Charlamagne go on vacation one day and y'all two be there. How come y'all can't just have somebody fill in for Charlamagne? You know what I'm saying? Why, you want to do it? You want to do it? Yeah, for sure.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to talk about HBO. There's some programming that they won't be doing anymore. We'll tell you what that is. Also, find out who has their 10th child on the way. They're beating you, Envy.

All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Eddie Murphy. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report.

This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Eddie Murphy is about to have his 10th child. His girlfriend is pregnant with his 10th child. Wow. Yes. Did you know he had that?

I didn't realize he had that many children. That's a lot of babies. 10 kids is a lot for a person. Yeah, but he's worth $85 million. I know, but that's still a lot of kids. It's not about the money. I just didn't even realize. Did you know he was having 10 kids? I lot for a person. Yeah, but he's worth $85 million. I know, but that's still a lot of kids. It's not about the money. I just didn't even realize. Did you know he was having 10 kids?

I knew he had nine, so yeah. No, I did not know he had 10. It's not about the money, though. You don't need money to have kids. You need time and attention. At his age, he's not going to see that little boy. Yeah, most people were on social media. I didn't even realize he had that many children.

So he had kids with Nicole Murphy, Mel B, Tamara Hood, Paulette McNeely. His oldest kid is almost 30 years old, so now he's having his second child with his current girlfriend, Paige Butcher. Don't drop on the clues, Bones, for Eddie Murphy. Congrats to Eddie Murphy. You know, why not? He's got a whole basketball squad against each other now. They can play each other.

I ain't mad at him. If I could have 10, I'd have 10. I ain't mad at him. I love kids. You can still have 10? You still got time at them. If I got to have 10, I'd have 10. I ain't mad at them. I love kids. You can still have 10? You still got time? How you know I still ain't shooting? Oh, okay.

I'm still shooting. My shot over here. I keep waiting for the announcement. You know, every year, he has a baby shower. Yeah, it might be coming soon. You never know. Okay, now Kanye West,

he's had to explain his slides. He didn't really have to, but he posted a picture of some chancletas, the Japanese ones, and he put the Japanese way. And he posted an explanation, I guess, trying to show why his slides looked smaller than they should have. I don't know.

I guess he was tired of people making fun of the fact that his slides, if you ever vote TV, you can see how it looks like his foot didn't quite fit in. They look extra comfortable other than the fact his heel hanging off the slides. They look small. I guess according to him in Japan, that's what people do. I wonder if he's going to be wearing those when he's walking around Chicago this morning. Oh, okay. And Evelyn Lozada has apologized.

There was a petition. People started to kick her off of Basketball Wise, and that's all because of a situation, an argument she got into with CeCe Gutierrez. Here's what happened on the show. You always have a problem, Evelyn. No, I have a problem with you. I have a problem with you, Lili.

What's Lili? The nail shop girl. So it's racist. She's racist. How am I evil? You never even gave me a chance to get to know you. I gave you a chance. Stop.

You want to call me evil and I'm going to call you some s***. I'm calling you evil and because you evil. All right. So Cece is Filipino and Evelyn Lozada called her Lili, which was supposed to be a comment because that's a girl from the nail shop. So they did this whole petition on change.org. They said if Evelyn is brought back for another season, I don't see myself and many other people supporting these group of ladies and some of their great business ventures anymore. It's disrespectful to the consumer, which is us.

We fund her checks, so this is our simple request. Remove her. She must be held accountable, just like Roseanne Barr and everyone else in 2018. Yeah, I need a list of racial slurs, because I did not know that was a racial slur. I had no idea. Calling somebody the nail shop girl is a stereotype of an Asian person working in a nail shop, even though she doesn't work in a nail salon. because I did not know that was a racial slur. I had no idea. Well, calling somebody the nail shop girl is a stereotype of an Asian person

working in a nail shop even though she doesn't work in a nail salon. But I didn't know that. She said Lili. I didn't know what that meant. They said that's the name of the girl who works

in her nail salon. She said it. Oh, I didn't hear that part. Yeah, so here is what Evelyn Lozada said as an apology. I wanted to publicly apologize to Cece, her son, her family, anyone that was offended by my comment

during a heat of the moment argument. What I said was wrong and I should have never said that. That's not even who I am and how I was raised. A work in progress. Again, I apologized to her a few weeks ago. We talked about it. She apologized for things that she said, and we both moved on. So Lili is not a slur. It's the context of what she said. She said, yeah, trying to say that you are Asian, therefore you work in a nail salon.

She posted, I understand why many people are upset by my derogatory, stereotypical reference of another woman of color, and for that I'm so sorry. To intentionally add to a pot of racial divisiveness is not reflective of my heart. So I do appreciate that she can apologize for those comments and admit that she was wrong for saying them. All right, HBO is dropping all of their adult film

and documentaries from their channels and streaming services, so no more of those late- sexually themed documentaries and soft core porn. I had no idea HBO did soft core porn. You don't remember Real Sex? Yeah, that was years ago. I thought that was more of a Showtime thing that had all the sex shows on it. Well, no, HBO did have some documentaries and all kinds of shows that had to do with sex and late night programming and all of that.

And so now they're not going to do that anymore. It used to be kind of a staple, but now that's all gone. What kind of loser goes to HBO for porn? Especially with the internet in 2018. That's probably why they don't even really need it. Is it a cameraman just raised his hand? Especially softcore. Why would I want softcore porn?

I'm going to pay for softcore porn when I can get hardcore for free on social media. Maybe you already have HBO. That was a back in the day type of thing. You go there, watch it at night and then you see some

naked people on there. Taxi cab confessions could have still worked though if they'd have updated it to like Uber. But that wasn't like porn at all. That's one of the shows

they're canceling so it's considered part of that late night adult themed programming. All right, well let me answer the yee and that is your rumor report. Alright, now when we come back we have

Joe Button joining us. Never heard of him. Now, of course he has a new show on Revolt, he has his podcast and you know one time he said he would never come back on The Breakfast Club. You heard that. You know I ain't gonna bring it up. I never heard it either. We're gonna ask him about it when he comes in here. Keep it locked. Maybe this is a contractual

obligation with Rev revolt TV. Maybe. Yeah. We'll find out. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

Now, Joe Button. Good morning. He said he was never coming on the Breakfast Club again. He said that? He did. I don't remember that. Joe Button says a lot of things. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning, first of all. You know, Envy got light-skinned memories, so he remember everything that hurt him at some point. I don't remember that. I said that as a rapper, Envy, when you was acting spicy

last time I was in here. What happened? Y'all remember Envy was telling me I was a failure and a loser? What? He did? You gotta say that. But it depends what career path he was talking about.

What was he talking about? Okay, what was he talking about? I don't know. Was it the battle? Was it the battle? He was telling, no, as a rapper. This was rapper Joe when he had the tour, and he wouldn't post his dates on his social media at the time.

I mean, Joe could always rap, though. He could always rap. But at the time, Envy was making his sound, and, you know, I thank you for that because it helped me realize a few things, but he was making it sound then like if you weren't putting it on Instagram, it wasn't happening. And I was just late to the party of realizing

that people actually thought like that. So that was our argument then. And then I left there, and I started trying to post it on Instagram, and I'm like, I'm really trash. I heard you said it on your podcast that you was late to the party on something social media-wise, and that's kind of interesting because you was always on the Internet first. Yes, he was.

Before everybody else. Yeah, but late to certain realizations on the Internet. Like, I was on the Internet, but... You weren't promoting. I was probably... Yeah, I was never promoting. Was the Joe Budden rebrand a conscious decision? Uh, no.

It wasn't? You know, when I was doing my last album, when I did Rage in the Machine, before I did that album, I was trying to figure out how to rebrand, but as an MC. Never this. So this wasn't a calculated thought out.

I knew I wanted to do broadcasting. And that was it. I'm telling you, I was late to the party of even realizing that everybody thought I was so trash. Nobody ever thought you was trash as a rapper? I'm just saying, just the way that you was living.

You was a person. You was living. You living trash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put yourself together. So I think that when I started to make certain changes for myself,

good things started to happen, and the universe started to respond, and I started to have a lot of those conversations like I have with Envy about people not understanding their retirement from rap thing.

Some rappers stopped texting me. Really? They stopped talking to me altogether, yeah. Because you started talking about them probably. I've been talking about them. That's my thing. I've talked about rappers my entire career. It's got me in a lot of trouble.

The media thing isn't new either though because you used to be on Hot 97 back in the day. The Mortar Show. Yeah, yeah, because you used to be on Hot 97 back in the day. The morning show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, sleeping underneath the counter. Rumor had that you was in this sleeping with an executive for a job. Is that true? No, I didn't f*** Tracy.

I didn't say anything. Oh, my God. Joe Buck. He cleared that up immediately. Because I know the rumor. I heard the rumor. This is crazy. Who told you, Angela?

My God. You know she'd be up here telling all this. Who never walked that hot 97? Why would I know that? She know the dirt. I love Tracy. Tracy is great. She gave me my start.

She's seen the vision before. Radio. As somebody, I was telling her, yo, I'm scared to death. Like, I don't belong on the air. She's like, man, if y'all just go on the air. And it was great. I loved it. And you stopped because?

Because Kevin Lowes made me.? Because Kevin Lowes made me. Wow. Kevin Lowes made me. He didn't think that you could sell records and be accessible every day on the airwaves. And I was 22, 23 at the time. Oh, wow. So it was like, you know, you got time when you're signed, so

yeah, I want to rap. So let's do that. I'm more sure it was a big responsibility, too, because you got to be there every day. Well, he would sleep on the floor. a big responsibility, too, because you got to be there every day. But he would sleep on the floor. It does hurt. Like when you have to travel, go on tour, go on the road. It's kind of difficult when. Well, at 22, 23, you don't really know that you have to be responsible. So I didn't think about any of that.

You learn those things. Yeah. People don't think you're responsible or not. I was talking to somebody the other day and I said, yo. Thanks, Charlamagne. No, I'm serious. I said, yo, I think y'all should hire Joe Budden for y'all morning show. They called you Joe Burden.

Wow. They said that he's not reliable or consistent. I said, I don't know. You got to stop talking to Complex. What happened to Complex? No, I wasn't talking to Complex. This is radio. All right, but aside from that, what did happen at Everyday Struggle?

Like, I know it was a financial thing where you felt you were supposed to get a certain amount of money. No, that was at the end. Okay, but did you not love being there? Like, what was the real issue? Creative differences. I think that the idea of what I thought it would be going in and probably what it turned out to be by the end of it, just real different. What did you think it would be? I thought it would be a bit more mature.

And I'm not knocking it because I thought that that had the potential to be the greatest thing ever. So they picked the content? It was a collaborative effort. You still watch it now? No. They wanted more beats, more problems? I'll check it out

when I want to hear something that maybe act, gotta say. But that's not very, it's not often. I can see it in your face that that wasn't gonna last, though.

Let the record show I called it. You did call it, but you called it because you thought it would be insubordination on my part. It technically was. Now, I just said Joe's going to get fed up and walk away from it in some way, shape or form. Definitely didn't think Joe was going to follow through with that one. I definitely did. Look at how people talk about you, Joe. This is crazy. No, I appreciate it. You know, these two people are some of the people I appreciate. Not very many people are honest with me.

I feel the same way about Joe, though. They're honest. Do they think you think the Joe Button podcast is going to last as long as it did? That's different. Yes. I could be a f***head on my own s***. But, no, not on somebody else's. They wasn't paying me enough to deal with some of those things.

But I had a vision. That complex situation, that was the first time it was like, you know what, let me really stay out of my own way. I want to quit. I want to go in there and tell all these people suck my d***, but there's a greater cause. So I'm going to just stay. And there was a certain point in that mix,

I don't remember the month, but you could cut on the screen and see that he wasn't playing no more. And I was saying at the time, I said, it's just wild that every other company, you could tell that radio person that said this too, every company in the world is looking at my value and it's high. Odd that y'all are the only ones that don't recognize that. Yeah, but they want you to be around them.

Like, you know, it's like, yeah, you know your value is high, but how long is Joe Budden going to want to be here in this situation? Well, if anybody that knows Joe Budden history, I have no problem exiting. That's the problem. I have no problem. That's the problem. I guess they invest in you and they want to invest in promoting a show and then you can't... You need

balance. So that's the problem if that's your perspective or it could be a really good thing. Like, it was cute in the beginning when they put the little disclaimer thing there that, yo, these a**es about to say some wild a**. It was cute, but when you stop looking at the cuteness, I understand why it's there. Joe is a hothead. Listen, I understand all that a**.

So that can work in your benefit if you have a partner that, you know, you aligned with. I was never aligned with them. True. But really appreciative to them and everybody there. Y'all gassed it up a little bit, though. Y'all would jump out the window and say some crazy stuff, like Everyday Struggle was the greatest hip-hop show ever of all time. Potentially.

No way. And you should feel like that if that's your show. You're talking about Sway and Tech in the morning back in the day. You're talking about Starr and Buck. You're talking about... Yes tech in the morning, back in the day. You're talking about starting Buck. You're talking about... Yes. You do know what the word potentially means. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Yeah. So, I mean, given some time, I would never... You know, I'm not that arrogant. Takes time, though.

A lot of time. It takes a lot of time, but you know, what me and Ak and those people were building, what we accomplished in that short amount of time. If we were projecting, I got all the s*** if we're projecting. That's how much faith I have in me as a broadcaster. That's a heavy statement.

Yeah. Listen, I would be a hater if I said, like, all the rappers from last decade is better than all the rappers rapping now. Like, you want tomorrow to be better than yesterday. Like, I watch you all the time give props to the people that mentor you and the people that you look up to and idolize. But at no point do I take it as Charlamagne ain't in the same realm or don't get just as busy as ****. Like, we can have respect for people and know that we get busy.

That's all I'm saying. True. All right, we got more with Joe Button. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Joe Button's in the building. Let's talk about this podcast. Yeah, because there were some issues, I guess, up here on The Breakfast Club. No, there was not ever any issues. We've never had issues. And guess, up here on the Breakfast Club. No, there was not ever any issues. And you know what?

We've never had issues. And listen to what happens behind what everybody says. When I have a problem with Joe, I call him. Like, oh, I text him. Envy has had problems with me throughout the years because we have a personal relationship. It's never been a business beef. It's never been like, yo, Envy, why you not playing my s***? It's never been,

yo, we care about each other. I don't like how you... And it's been that. Charlamagne and I have had mad friendly beef. I don't think we hated each other for some reason. I actually like Joe Button. But I'm not even talking about with Joe Button. So what do you mean?

I don't know. I thought I saw some back and forth on social media. But you could never. With DJ Envy. You didn't have an issue with me? With Joe? No, not with Joe. With Rory? Yeah.

Oh, no. Rory said some stuff on the podcast about me. They both say shit up there about you. It was disrespectful. And he's entitled to his opinion. But like I said, I'm not going to let you talk about me and then come on my platform to promote. What did Rory say, though? I really definitely heard. I mean, and then come on my platform to promote Did Rory say though, I really definitely

heard, unless I'd be missing it, what did Rory say about Envy that pissed you off? I listen to Damn Near Every Week. But, no, what Envy is talking about was probably from like two years ago. So, you know, it's one of them things that Envy heard and caught on to.

It was a bunch of things that he said, little slick stuff. And this is what I told Joe. I said, we all have a certain role that we play. That's what it was. So if we have Kanye up here and let's say Charlamagne's going at Kanye and it's getting uncomfortable. My role is to make Kanye feel comfortable so he's open enough to answer

the questions we do. You rub Kanye down. Let's move him over. See where he goes too far? He flies out to rub him down. P-Hop's on a plane. I don't know what's going on. He's wearing Yeezys. Talk about black power.

I don't know who Charlamagne is. You a snitch. First of all. But there's roles up in. He was saying some slick s***. Rory doesn't understand radio. He doesn't come from radio. So He was saying some slick s***. Now they like it. Rory doesn't understand radio. I can tell. He doesn't come from radio.

So he gave an opinion of s*** who don't understand radio. And Envy got spicy. Cursed me out about it. But yeah, you right. He shouldn't come up here. I'm here to promote stuff. Can Rory and Maul not do it because you want to allow them to? Or because they're just not skilled enough? No, Rory and Maul can do whatever they want.

Do you think they can carry one on their own? On their own? Alone? Yes. No. Exactly. That's tough to do. I'm not dissing my n****s.

To carry a podcast alone? Right. I listen to the people that do that. It's tough. It's difficult. You think they could do it together if they decided to? I'm not sure I could do it. Yes, you could.

I think you could. Stop it. I'm not sure. It's not confirmed Yes, you could. I think you could. Stop it. I'm not sure. It's not confirmed. It's not confirmed for me that I could do it alone. You was mad at Maul at one point. You was mad at Maul at one point. They got a scrap. Everybody got a scrap

for a little bit, man. The only thing I'd be mad at is, I'm like, nobody's going to tell Maul he was wrong. Didn't Maul give us two months? Didn't he say the Breakfast Club was over in two months? I was like, if you're going to make this, that's all. I wasn't mad at Maul. But nobody's going to tell Maul about the Breakfast Club. He was telling me the wrong.

He was mad at Maul. I forgot about that. You can't put a timeline on it. I don't even know why he would say that. It's our eighth year. We got 20 more markets in that, too. We're consistent. These guys are too sensitive.

And y'all in San Antonio now. San Antonio now. I saw that. And 150 countries. That was good more markets since that too. We're consistent. These guys are too sensitive. And y'all in San Antonio now. San Antonio now. I saw that. And 150 countries, 80 plus markets worldwide. Yo, you know Joe, you come from radio. Being a nationally syndicated radio show is a big deal. Like, you gotta put us in the line. When you talk about us, you talk about us with Tom Joiners, the Doug Bankses.

You better put us in that line. You got them right. The Steve Harvey's. But he's right. The Elvis Duran's. The Howard Stern's. And we black. And hip hop radio. What you looking around the room for? I'm just saying. You black. You mad ma with shit on you, basically.

What you saying? Listen, the Spotify move was a very indiscreet move. Very corporate. Very indiscreet move? That doesn't sound like you at all. Why, Joe? The opportunity. The opportunity to be global.

To spread my message throughout the universe. You're already on global, though. The SoundCloud links, the YouTube. I need some help. I need some help, man. And you're still on YouTube as well. Yeah, yeah. I'm on YouTube staggered 48 hours after mine.

You know, Charlamagne gets on you a lot. He says on your podcast, sometimes you go in and artist and then when you're up front with the artist, you don't say the same thing. That wasn't the podcast. Or that too, but on Everyday Struggle. That was Everyday Struggle with Jeezy. He says that too. He says, I think, lastly, A podcast I don't really have people on. All the snitching on each other this morning. You apologized to every

artist that came to Everyday Struggle. Not true. Yes, you did. Not true. Not all of them. Ashanti, Jeezy, and you had smoke for Jeezy. Alright, this is the thing that I, maybe I'm a little lost. But when I have the smoke, the artists hear it. So I feel like when I see them, it's not

the time to continue that. You heard what I said. Now you're going to respond and we're going to have an adult conversation about it. That's how I see it. So you think they should come call you on it and then y'all get into it? Yeah. Like a lot of times, like when you say the energy is different, right?

Like a lot of times, I'm coming in before the cameras come on. Extra sensitive, they extra hardcore and tough. They just a lot. That's how you get Birdman moments. Well, I love it too. Yeah. I love it too. But I mean, if you're going to come in there like that, then let's have the conversation.

You heard what I said. You feel a way. Let's talk about it too. But I mean, if you're going to come in there like that, then let's have the conversation. You heard what I said. You feel a way. Let's talk about it. If not, f*** out my face. True. Now, you also said your son wrote a diss record about you. So what did he say on that record? Oh, I don't know.

He dissed you on a song. I tried not to listen to it. I don't know what the f*** he's talking about. No, I heard it. I heard it. What did he say? Not things that I was proud of. No, no. He was venting. So what'd he say? Not things that I was proud of. No, no, he was venting. So what exactly what he said?

He said I wasn't around. And I was going to ask you about that. He said. The reason I was going to ask you about that is because. Can he finish the lyrics? The new son, you post so many pictures with him, you're around. So your older son looks at it like, damn, he wasn't there for me. No, we're in a new generation, Envy.

So my older son looks at it like my newest son has way more followers on Instagram than he does. That's all he sees. But you do feel bad about the fact that you weren't around. No, I don't. Why not? For your son? What?

Why do you feel bad about that? No, I don't. Shut up. I don't. Why not? Because I made every effort to be there. Like, it's not like I was just gone and lost. I made every effort to be there. But was he aware of that? Yeah, you're young. So, I mean, you're young.

So, that was me and his mother's battle. Like, now that he's older, now that her and I are amicable, she's married. Yeah, no, we're great. My oldest is with me every other weekend. Anytime he can come over and hang with dad. He just went to the Drake concert Friday, him and Maul, because I didn't want to go. Why did you want to go? I'm not a concert guy.

I wouldn't trust Drake if I was you. You and Drake have a very weird relationship. You might get around Drake and that's when he might send somebody with an owl sweatshirt on to jump you. You think? Yeah. I don't think so. I don't trust him.

Well, I have trust issues. Has y'all got a good relationship now? I would say we're all right. Okay. Yo, all the people that I beefed with when I was rapping, like, we're great now. All right, we got more with Jump Off Joe Button. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Joe Button's in the building. I like fatherhood, Joe. Joe calls me periodically to ask me about fatherhood stuff. And I like seeing that side of Joe, man.

First of all, I dropped one of Clues Bond's since Santana. Since Santana changed Joe's life. I told her that when I saw her the other day. I was like, man, you're my brand new. Upgraded Joe so goddamn much. Don't f***ing act like she didn't. She did, but I mean, I could frown. Joe called me and be like, so, where are the swimming classes?

I want to get my son to swim in. Like, I need a nanny. Nanny. Yeah. That's great. This is great, Joe. This is a wonderful Joe. What about your relationship with Eminem now?

What about it? And the whole team over there, Joe. This is a wonderful Joe. What about your relationship with Eminem now? What about it? And the whole team over there, because you were signed as Shady. I think I am signed. You're still signed as Shady. I think. Okay. But you're not going to put out any more music? No, I'm not.

Never? Still no? No. Not even with Slaughterhouse? No. Wow. No, I'm retired. I'm retired for real.

Royce wasn't happy with the things you were saying about him. Oh, no, me and Royce spoke. Me and Royce had a good conversation. Royce is my guy away from music. Do you feel like the fans forced you to say something about him? Because at first you were being respectful, respecting the situation, not saying how whack his last album was, even though it was. And then after a while, it was just like they kept pushing you,

pushing you, pushing you, and it seemed like they forced you to say something. No, I don't think it was the fans. It really was just whatever that song was that I was talking about. I don't remember the name of the song. But when I heard the song, that really was my natural reaction to the song. But not just Em. Like, I have a problem with artists who latch on to big movements to sell a record. Like, we don't hear you speak about these things

when you're not attempting to sell a record. So that's not specific to him. That's him. Well, at that moment. Kanye. It's a bunch of people doing it today. I agree with you, but I think that the time

is a little bit different. I think not even just with artists. I think a lot of people's voice has risen because people are realizing the BS that we have in the White House. I think a lot of people are using their platforms differently. And some people feel like a message is more powerful when they put it in music and maybe they don't feel like

because Em doesn't talk a lot about, he doesn't do interviews a lot, period. And speak out. He doesn't really tweet or anything. I can't really say how he felt. I can only speak about how I felt hearing the song. I was glad we were able to get past it because that moment seemed to cause a lot of tension between people. But we moved past it.

But that was tough for a lot of people. You didn't think it was disloyal to Em? No. And the reason I say that is, let's say Clue does some. It a lot of people. You don't think it was disloyal to him? No. And the reason I say that is, let's say Clue does some... It's like laughable. Em don't have no loyalty to Joe, though. Yo, can you stop? Can you stop? Let's not do that.

You don't think so, though. We're going to have a really good interview here. Don't make me angry in the morning. No, I don't think so. You include... You don't know the difference between you and Clue and me and Em Envy? I thought you and Em was close. Maybe not.

Maybe you're not as close as the people assume that y'all were. Not like you and Clue. Like, M's not on Joe's Wikipedia. You know what I don't like? Shut up, man. He includes what you want. This is the part I don't like. When you say that you're not close with someone,

it's interpreted as malice or a diss or, like, I'm just not close with him. I am super, super, super tight with Royce. So, I mean, I explained to him that, you know, I respect his feelings, but my relationship with him is not the same as his. So, I mean, you can't expect me to behave in a manner that you would.

And that's all. And he understood. He disagreed, but he understood. State of the culture. State of the culture. Will you be discussing more than hip-hop on state of the culture? Hopefully. Because I feel like that's the only thing, just limiting Joe Budden a little bit, that he's only always discussing hip-hop.

I would like to discuss more than hip-hop. But I feel like when you discuss hip-hop, you end up discussing other things, because hip-hop also discusses politics. It also discusses the Me Too movement. There's so many things involved with hip-hop. The world is intermingled now. You can't talk about hip hop

without talking about a million other things. Yeah. So I'm going to try to, I agree with Charlamagne. If there's some areas that I think I need to improve in to be able to maybe

hold it down solo by myself, I would love to just try to be able to talk about everything as passionately as possible. Are you doing Love & Hip Hop this year? What'd you hear that?

I thought I seen a press release. You did not see a press release. I thought I did. I thought it was a press release. It was something on the blog. I thought I seen a press release. You did not see a press release. I thought I did. I thought it was a press release. It was something on the blog. I think it was the Wall Alert.

Your name was definitely on there. They did. You and Sin. Maybe it was more so Sin and you was going to be there. Is that a no? It's a no. Is Sin doing Love & Hip Hop?

You have to ask her. Sin is doing Love & Hip Hop. All right. So Joe will be on it for some reason because he can't have her on their podcast. Why y'all said that?

You are a terrible because you're a terrible liar. You're so industry. You gave the super industry answer. If Cindy was up in hip-hop, you have to ask her. So you're not doing it, but Cindy's doing it. I'm not saying anything. I am here to talk about my brand new show,

State of the Culture, on Revolt TV. What do you think of the New York Times headline, the hip-hop Howard Stern, that they give to every black outspoken media commentator? You mean you? See what I mean? They always do that, Joe. How do you feel about yourself?

This is a spicy... It's humbling. I understand what they be trying to do when they do it. I was grateful that that wasn't a headline. They actually printed on Sunday. They changed it. I feel like they discredited you a little bit. Man, I'll tell you why. Tell me why.

Because Howard Stern doesn't even like podcasts. I didn't even ask you why. Howard Stern doesn't even like podcasts. Yeah, I know. And what you're doing for hip-hop podcasts has never been done before. So Howard's not even in that medium. So how could you be the Howard Stern of hip-hop when you're doing something new

in the podcast field that's never been done before? I don't like the way Howard discredits podcasting. I get it, but it's a little elitist. I don't. No comment. Is there anything else for Joe?

For Joe? I got a lot for Joe. He has to go say hi to somebody he loves out here but doesn't know her name. No, no, no. Let's be honest. Charlamagne is flying to L.A.

to Kanye's house. I don't know. I don't know. Another interview. Let's be honest. Charlamagne is flying to L.A. to Kanye's house. I don't know. I don't know. Another interview. I may stop by. Another interview over here. No, I may stop by while I'm in town, but I'm not going there for that. But wait.

That's my guy. I like Kanye, personally. I got to interview Charlamagne. It's such a contradiction. How do you feel about Charlamagne wearing Yeezys? Joe had on Yeezys last week. So he's fine with it. Time out.

I don't listen to nothing Joe says. Time out. When Joe was beefing with G-Unit, he came to my radio show in Columbia, South Carolina with a G-Unit hat on. And he was talking shit about the game

with a G-Unit. No, he wasn't. No, I like that. Exactly. I feel like you should be able to beef with people and still wear the shit. And I can have differences.

And I wore them bum-ass Yeezys on laundry day, and I didn't pay for them. What brand are you wearing right now? Bum-ass Yeezys. Oh, I don't know. That guy could be a racist. You don't know. He could be. All the stuff we drive.

Sometimes there's comfort in not knowing. I know. I know. I know about Kanye. And you do, too. And you better know. We need. I know. I know. I know about Kanye. And you do, too. And you better than that. We need you. Black people need you.

I'm black as f***. He just got a little lighter. I just like Yeezy because they're comfortable as hell. He's almost your complexion. I'm watching, Charlamagne. Are the Yeezys comfortable? The f***ing soul comes out every time you take your foot out. I'm f***ing trash.

Yo, hip-hop is a community. We build so much trash. You need Charlamagne next. Which one you got, though? All them shits is trash. Not the desert rats. The desert rats. You don't even know.

The desert. No, I don't know the desert rats. State of the Culture, my new show on Revolt. Mondays digitally, 5 p.m. Eastern time. When does it start? Tuesdays linear, 10 p.m. This starts September... It starts on the 10th. Oh, okay. Yeah, September 10th. September 10th. And I

do have a co-host. I don't know if I want to announce that now because y'all... A what? A co-host? A co-host. A co-host. Who's the co-host? No, no. I'm not giving it to y'all. Y'all rushing me out of here. No, listen. Stay tuned to my show. At some point, I am going to announce who the co-host is,

and I'm going to tease it. It's very, very, very, very big. Pause. It's Joe Button. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Boosie. It's time, time, time.

She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Boosie did an interview with Vlad TV, and he talked about R. Kelly, Usher, Russell Simmons, sexual allegations. Now, here's what he had to say about R. Kelly versus Hugh Hefner and why R. Kelly is under so much fire. It's just like when people put a black cloud over your head, that's hard to get off.

I think that got a lot to do with R. Kelly, man. And when people done seen it with their eyes, it's hard to get off. If there was a regular R&B artist who had legal girls, it wouldn't even be nothing. But it's R. Kelly. Now you gonna take his music off Spotify. I got mad.

How the f*** are you going to f*** with their main music? Now y'all going too far, man. Y'all motherf***ers. What about all the motherf***ers that got charges for all other kind of s***? Did y'all take their music off? Well, the thing with R. Kelly is the sex tape where he peed on a 13-year-old girl. And in fact, he married Aaliyah when she was 15. Well, the key word is legal.

If it was another artist who had legal girls, he said legal. So, yeah, that's why this wasn't legal. But because of those two situations, people will always look at R. Kelly as a sexual predator, and they probably should. That's true. That is true, but they can't pull his music off Spotify. I never agreed with that. Well, they didn't pull his music off Spotify.

They just took it off certain playlists that they that. Well, they didn't pull his music off Spotify, but they just took it off certain playlists that they promote. No, I don't know. All right. Now he also talked about Russell Simmons

and the whole Me Too movement. Now they f***ing with Russell Simmons. Talk about Russell Simmons touching bitch. Man had 300 million something dollars in the 80s.

What the f*** this man gotta ask for p***y for or try to take a rub on? Bitch, you mad you ain't end up with him. All them hoes who playing the people, most of them hoes mad, man.

Why you ain't say this in the 70s or the 80s? Because you thought you was going to be taken home. But he didn't choose you, bitch. Now you won't bring accusations up. don't take to getting kicked unless they up. This is when you sitting take s*** to get cake unless they f***ed up. When you're sitting by Boosie, you just slide. You slide far away.

Finances have nothing to do with whether or not somebody is a sexual predator. Just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean that you're not capable of doing certain things like Harvey Weinstein. I mean, Darren Sharper. Darren Sharper proved that. I never understood that. Darren Sharper was a good-looking guy who played in the NFL, who was admitted to drugging women and sexually assaulting them. Alright, so that has nothing to do with the hundreds of millions of dollars that you might have at all.

You just gotta slide away from Boosie on that one, Boosie. Now Lil Boosie also says that the Me Too movement is hypocritical. I done been in the rap game a minute, bro. Like n****s ain't taking p****y, man. N****s gotta make the p****y go away. Then they doing it to the older people when they get older talking about he touched on my ass and trying to take a credit for everything he done built up you ain't gonna take my credit when i get 75 years old talking about he rubbed on me

in the elevator yeah bitch and you rubbed on my back you know how many charges we can put on a bitch? You know how many bitches can grab the whole and harass us? Per night, caress us. I mean, it is a double standard. I would say that man, then I encourage y'all to come forward and press charges. Oh, you don't. You just wait. Oh, you just wait. Who you pressing charges

on, Charlie? Oh, you just wait. He ain't pressing charges on nobody. Listen, don't you push me. I'm close to the edge. Y'all been hearing me talk about this behind the scenes for a long time. You ain't gonna press charges on nobody. Just keep it up. You just keep pushing me. But in the same vein, you can understand why somebody would be hesitant to step out and

discuss things that have happened to them. A hundred percent. Because of how people would view them. A three hundred million percent. I wouldn't view you any differently, Charlamagne. Even if it was something that happened. I don't believe that. Even if it was something that happened over.

You climbed me off the ass when I was trying to talk about it. Charlamagne, even if it was something that happened over a decade ago, it could be something that you bring up now because you feel like you're capable of doing that. Ain't nobody going to take me serious. If you clown yourself, that's why. If you was serious, then I would take you serious. Maybe that's his therapy in the way that he actually is trying to cope with something. I got things I want to get off my chest.

But you know what? What? One day. All right, now let's talk about HBO's The Shot, LeBron's show. The first episode aired on Tuesday, and he had a bunch of people joining him talking about a range of topics. He was joined by Maverick Carter, who's his business partner, John Stewart, Draymond Green, Snoop Dogg, Odell Beckham Jr., Candace Parker, Michael Bennett, amongst others. Now, one thing that they did discuss on the show, LeBron talked to Snoop about black culture. We moved everything. We moved the way people dress. We moved the way people think. We moved the way people dance, music people listen to. We move the way people play sports. And the way they talk. When I first went to London for the first time,

me and Dre hit the stage. It was like 75,000 more in the audience, and they just was rocking, right? I kept going back overseas. And every country I went to, my was getting bigger. And then the cold part was, the way you say I raised y'all, raised a lot of people overseas and taught them how to speak English through my music.

Black people are more respected outside of America than they are in America. Yeah, they both are right. And now I want us to use our power and influence to get us in positions that can really, really, really move society. Odell Beckham Jr. was on and he discussed sometimes feeling like an animal at the zoo. I had it happen the other

day. I didn't want to take a picture. I'm like, I'm really in a rush. I gotta go. I get on Twitter. It's like, oh, he's a ****. Oh, he didn't want to take a picture. It's like, to me,'m really in a rush. I got to go. I get on Twitter. It's like, oh, he's a. Oh, he didn't want to take a picture. It's like, to me, I'd be feeling like, I tell people this all the time, I really feel like a zoo animal. Like, that's where life's gone for me. You know what I mean?

Like, I got people who call, oh, damn, dance. Like, I'm a show punk, a show monkey or something. Like, I'm a puppet. You know what I mean? And it's like, to me, that doesn't feel good. But it's like, damn, that's where life became. But can you ever really detach from that? damn, that's where life became, but can you ever really detach from that? No, that's

your fault, alright? Nobody told Odell to dance every chance he gets. He enjoys it, he enjoys it, but I've seen Odell out and about. If you enjoy dancing, when I see you, I want you to dance too. No, it don't work like that. Let's dance together. No, it don't work like that. Like Lena Waithe said when she was here, when you're out in these streets,

sadly, you are no longer the property of yourself. You are a property of the public. People see you, they want you to dance. But you can still feel a way about it. Of course. And he feels a way about it, but he's not saying that he doesn't want to be who he is. He can say no. He can say no.

Like if he's in a rush. I've seen him stop and take pictures for zillions of kids. But if he's in a rush, he wants to go out and dance. I ain't talking about the picture part. But you're going to dance. Who wasn't there? We didn't take a picture with Logan. Well, we.

Oh, yeah. No, we said something. You hypocritical. It was Iman Shumpert. It was Iman Shumpert. So Iman can tell your son no? He could. He did. He has that option.

Chris Rock can tell the kids no. They have that option, absolutely. But I have the option of feeling how I want to feel as well. I have the option of feeling how I want to feel as well. And they feel the same way about Odell. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. Odell, you're going to dance. You're always online shaking that ass. I want to see you shake that ass.

Okay, stop it. What? Okay. You want to see him what? Inappropriate. You know what? Well, let me see you dance now. I want to see you dance.

Can you wrap it up, guys? Rumor report. Don't get a daze up next. Let me see you dance. I don't dance. Okay. Let me see you shimmy. What's wrong up next. Let me see you dance. I don't dance. Okay. Let me see you shimmy. What's wrong with you?

Let me see you twerk. You're making me uncomfortable. Throw some money at me. Okay. Donkey of the Day, four after the hour, is going to a young man named Paul. He's not a young man. He's actually 45 years old, but he's moving like a young man, and we need to have a conversation with him, okay?

All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. a conversation with him, okay? All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed

place. So like a donkey. Donkey of the Day. 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 Wednesday, August 29th goes to a 45-year-old man named Paul Gonzalez. Now, always remember in life, two things can be true. So I can give Paul donkey of the day, but also agree with some of his ways.

And I'll tell you why I agree with some of his ways in just a second. But the reason Paul is getting donkey of the day is because Paul is a serial dine-in dasher. Yes. Paul's MO is that he will meet women at restaurants all over Los Angeles only to leave them with the bill. Hell no! Let's go to KTL5 for the report, please. A man accused of meeting women on dating sites and then running out on them before paying

for dinner has pleaded not guilty to 14 charges. Paul Guadalupe Gonzalez, nicknamed the dine-and-dash dater. Prosecutors in Pasadena say the 45-year-old arranged dinners with women over the course of about two years. And after having food and drinks, he allegedly bailed on his dates before the bill arrived. The women either covered the charges, which totaled some $950, and in two cases, the restaurant covered the bill, making them part of the litigation. Gonzalez faces theft and extortion charges he could face up to 13 years in prison if convicted. Fathers, don't let your sons grow up to be F-boys. This is what happens when F-boys become F-men. Now, I'm going to tell you something. I respect the fact that all this man wants to do is eat. Okay? We have realized how creepy some of these guys are.

We know that some men are sexual predators. And we've heard stories of guys luring women on dates only to sexually assault them, kill them. Human trafficking is real. So the fact that this guy is literally just inviting women out for food and drinks and skipping out on the bill, yeah, it's kind of cool. All right? It could be worse. No, it's not.

It could be worse. All right? But the question we need to be asking is, why is this happening at all? All right? I would love to talk to Paul because I'm trying to understand, why does he go on dates to dine and dash? Is he doing it because it's easier to dine and dash when you're with someone? Is he doing it because he simply thinks it's funny? Look, I'm an admitted a-hole, so it's things that I find funny that aren't funny to everyone else.

Some people may find leaving someone with a bill hilarious, especially a lady who pulled up to see you, and she's dressed nice and smelling good, head did, all right, because she thinks she's on a date, and then you just bounce. That could bring some people great joy, but I don't see the humor. All right, I just want to know the psychology of Paul because I would simply like to know why. Paul arranged dates in Pasadena, Long Beach, Burbank, and L.A.

where he ate and drank food just to ghost his date before the bill came. How do you have money to travel all over California but don't have money to pay for your food and drinks? Transportation costs. So Paul got a little bit of change. He may can't afford to eat in the restaurant he's dining and dashing in, but he can afford to eat. Now, I didn't realize how illegal this was.

Paul has been charged with seven counts of extortion, two counts of attempted extortion, one count of grand theft, and two misdemeanor counts of defrauding an innkeeper and petty theft, and he's now facing 13 years in state prison, all because he wants to dine and dash. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Paul Gonzalez the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. All because he wants to dine and dash. Some donkey today has just sold himself. Please give Paul Gonzalez the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.

You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. All right, that's the donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her right now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Dana. How y'all doing this morning?

What's up, Mama? What's your question for you? Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know, me and my kids, we listen to y'all every morning on the way to school. Hey, kids. Hey, they say, hey, hold on, let me put you on speaker. Hey, kids, they say, hey. Hi.

What's up? Okay, so my husband and I, we just got married last year. We've been together like nine years. When I met him, my kids were, my daughters were two and three. When we got married last year, I changed my name. And this year, my kids asked me, can they change their last name too? But their dad is still alive, so I'm not sure if I should do that. Well, I think that you should hyphenate their last name. Can you just hyphenate it?

Yes, that's perfect. Okay, I didn't even think of that. That's a good, thank you so much. That way they can have both last names and represent both of their fathers. All right, thank you. You see, that's why I knew I should call and ask you. All right, thank you, Dana,

and congrats on you guys for your marriage last year. Appreciate it. Thanks. That was a quick one. Listen, sometimes there's solutions right there and you don't even think about it. All right. Let's go to another line. Hello.

Who's this? Hey. Hey. DJ Izzy. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing?

We're doing great. What's your question for you? I've been with my boyfriend for about seven years. August 24th. Made about seven years. August 24th made it seven years. Congrats. And my boyfriend has a baby mama that basically caused a problem all the time. And basically, she used the baby as a pawn. Like, he does everything for his child whenever he gets a chance.

And he always calls for his son every freaking weekend. But he needs to take her to court just like she took him to court and make sure that he gets his visitation, and it'll be court-ordered visitation, so she cannot deny him. But she also has, like, three other kids, and he's worried about, he actually wants to do a full custody because she doesn't really, the money that she gets for child support, she doesn't use for his son. Again, that's something that he's going to have to deal with in court if he wants to try to get full custody.

You know, is she a good mom? Not really, because like I said, she doesn't, the money she gets, she doesn't get for her child. And then on top of that, she, you know, she always, when she do give money, she doesn't do anything for them. She just, she basically lives on child support and the government. That's it. She doesn't have a job. She never had a job. You know, child support is always a difficult situation because it's not, you're not able to enforce what she really does spend that money on how can you you know but i will say he needs to go to court he needs to get his visitation and if he wants to try to get full custody he needs to put that in process and be

really proactive about it now what he's really worried about also is that she has other kids and if he goes for his son as in full custody will it be a point where they look at all the kids and as in like take them or anything like that? If she's a good mom, if she's a good mom, they're not going to just take the kids away from her. It's not like he's accusing her of child abuse. He just wants full custody because he feels like he can do a better job

if his child lives with him. And that's a responsibility for both of you to take on. Yeah, because I treat him, I love that boy to the full, like, moon and back. Like, I love that boy. And it's like, we try to get him at least every weekend, but she always has the excuse. And that's why, just like he has to pay every month, you guys need to make sure that it's set up so that she has to give you those kids every single weekend because the court is going to enforce that or he'll be able to call the police. Okay, so I guess I'll talk to him and

keep that in mind because that's a major thing right now because we really want him to have enjoyed life and she's like preventing that from happening. Right. That's your first priority is making sure that his son is taken care of. All right. Thank you so much as you live. You're welcome. Good luck. You sound like a great human being. Thank you so much, as you live. You're welcome. Good luck. You sound like a great human being. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day. Ask Yee,

805-85-1051. When we come back, Andrew Gillum's going to check in. We're going to talk to him about him winning yesterday and talk about what... But there's still

a lot more to come. He's the nominee for the Democrats, but we still have a ways for him to go to become the governor of Florida. All right. We'll talk to him to go to become the governor of Florida. Alright, we'll talk to him when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. M.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. We have the Democratic nominee for governor in Florida on the phone. Andrew Gillum. Drop one of Clues' balls for Andrew Gillum. Damn it.

What's up? What's up? What's up? Breakfast Club. Congratulations. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, Angela? This has been an incredible, I don't know if it's a night or not. I don't think I've slept yet. We're on our way in to do a little Morning Joe interview this morning, but I could not, could not, could not begin our day of press without coming home because I would not be here.

I can tell you that for certain were it not for the early platform that you all provided me to talk about the issues that matter. And they resonated with your listeners and with the people of the state of Florida, such to the point that with our measly $6 million and their $90 billion, we were able to overcome what many thought was un-overcomeable to become the Democratic nominee for governor of the state of Florida. Pretty incredible night, I've got to tell you all. Power to the people for real. Does it feel surreal? It still does. I've got to be honest, man. We've got to flow into this thing, but the truth is the future is too important.

What we've got to do is just too big for me to get caught up. We've got to be clear about the moment, especially in these closing days, because the other side is going to come with everything that they have. Right. And we've got to be prepared to respond, be prepared to push back, but more importantly, over the course of these next several weeks, these next 10 weeks, give our supporters everything they need to be as unapologetically for us as they can be. Because as I said to my supporters last night, my name is

nothing but a foil on the ballot. What's really on the ballot are all those issues we've been talking about, y'all, for now months. Education, good jobs, health care, criminal justice reform, stand your ground repeal. All of that is what's on the ballot. My name is a foil for that. So we just got to stay clear about that, clear about the mission ahead. And the only thing, if I could ask, in addition to obviously continued support, is for prayers in the coming several weeks and months for my family and I

as we traverse, you know, this new territory. Well, congratulations on making history because a lot of people came out to vote and it was historic numbers, the highest turnout for a midterm primary election. Got to keep that energy going as well. That's right. No, it was the highest. I tell you, one of the things that was so encouraging to me is in parts of this state that folks did not expect people to turn out. The turnout was off the charts. And you're right. We had historic midterm turnout. And I think a lot of that had to

do with reaching a new generation of voters, activating them and then turning them out. And, you know, I want to enjoy the moment, but I don't want to celebrate too much because, like you said, you know, the big show is right around the corner. So what can people do immediately right now to get you in the best possible position for November? Well, the first thing I got to do, I'm back at it, y'all. We got to raise money. We need folks to give. Visit us at andrewgillum.com.

Sow your seed into this campaign this thing can't be real um without every single person um putting you know sowing the seed into this race and i'm not asking for a particular amount the maximum contribution is three thousand dollars per person or per entity uh but give what you can all the way through the primary as charlotte man you heard me say when i was on the show my mother is on auto deduct for $20 a month. I have to talk to her about getting that up in this general election. But really, that's how we got here. I don't want to betray any of that.

We wouldn't be where we are in this race were it not for the $20, $50, $100 contributors who, frankly, were the backbone of our campaign. Well, Andrew, thank you, man. We just want to salute you, man. We just wanted to congratulate you this morning. We're going to keep driving people to the website, keep making donations to your campaign because we got to bring it home in November, baby. And if there's anything we could do, any way we could come out and support you, let us

know. Oh, we there. We'll be clear about that because we're going to need you, I'll tell you that, in advance. But listen, just know that I'll never forget what you all were able to help me do in this primary. You're number one for me always. Thank you, Andrew.

We'll stay in conversation. I appreciate you, brother. Thank you. All right, y'all. Take care. All right. Thanks to Andrew Gillum for joining us now. When we come back, we got rumors on the way, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up.

It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. The gossip. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Yes, 50 Cent. Now I'm sure at this point on social media you all have seen that 50 Cent's character on Power, Kanan, is dead.

I actually found that out before. Spoiler alert. I had a chance to see the show as well. Everybody's been posting about it. That's the only reason. Still a spoiler alert. Well, 50 Cent also posted about it. That was stupid.

Spoiler alert. And he said he's already an executive producer of the show. He's going to return next season as a director. So there you have it. People thought that, hey, it's over. He's going to be back and he'll be directing. So I'm interested to see that. Now Serena Williams.

But it's 50 shows though. He's not going to produce them. Yeah, but he hasn't directed it. Yeah, but he's still the EP though. Yeah, but directing is so different. Oh, I know, but he's still the EP. So it's still his show regardless. Yeah, it's still his show.

But he's returning as a director next season. So that's the news. All right. Now Serena Williams, we talked about her catsuit ban in France. Well, now she's going to be, well, you saw she won by wearing a tutu at the U.S. Open, so

she can wear whatever she wants, and that tutu was actually designed by Virgil and Nike, so it was a collaboration between the two of them. So off-white. Yeah, he owns off-white, but it was a Nike collaboration with Virgil. So congratulations to Serena for winning the U.S. Open. At the U.S. Open.

Now, Safari, he got a deal. He got a seven-figure deal all because of his penis. Apparently, yes, they're going to do a life-size mold of his penis, and they're going to start with mass production. And the pre-orders will start in December. The toys will ship out just in time for Valentine's Day. So if your wife always wanted to have sex with Safari, now she can.

Great. Well, that's a good hustle. I'm not mad at Safari for getting that money. Right. So now you guys can bring Safari into the bedroom. You're making the most out of a bad situation. Now, Quavo was on with Angie Martinez, and he actually talked about going solo.

Here's what he said. Something is crazy on the way. Something real special on the way from your boy Honcho. Quavo Honcho. Give us a little time frame though. Give us like a time frame. Um, September. Nice. That means **** is done. You're the first one that got it. That means this is it.

Something is crazy on the way. Something real special on the way. So he's not leaving the group, but he is going to be doing a solo album. He didn't give any real solid details about what it is, but he did confirm that something is going down. I mean, that's a no-brainer. I mean, you got to give him a Quavo album, you give him an Offset album, you give him a Takeoff album. And I got a sneaky suspicion that Takeoff album is probably going to be

the best one out of all three. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's get into this mix. Now, today is Michael Jackson's birthday,
