Starting point is 00:07:14 All right. Now, Powerball ticket. One was sold in Pennsylvania, and it was worth $456 million. Now, the cash value was $273 million. Could you imagine winning that? I thought about it on Saturday because as soon as I left the gym, I went and actually went and played. Did you get any numbers at all?
Starting point is 00:07:32 I don't know. What were the numbers? 22, 57, 59, 60, 66, and the Powerball was number seven. I see all these numbers on my ticket, but they're not in the order I need to win. I do have the Powerball. Which means not in the order. Oh, you mean the order have the Powerball.

You never know, alright? $3 is good for something. Now, Cirque de Soleil, that's probably one of my favorite shows to take the kids and watch, but it seems like an acrobat fell to his death over the weekend. He was performing in Tampa.
Starting point is 00:08:24 He was doing one of the ring things, they said, where he was holding on to the ring and he spins up in the air. He's been with the company for 15 years and they don't know what happened. He just brutally fell to his death in front of everybody. It was a live show. So they rushed him to the hospital, but he didn't make it. That's got to be traumatizing for people that were there and saw that happen. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I never understood why they never had anything protective, like a net under it or anything, a harness. And I'm sure they got to sign something that says this is all on them because they got to know the risk that they're taking, right? Absolutely. Like, I'm sure that Circus Soleil wouldn't be held responsible for the deaths of any of the people in the circus. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:10 I'm Lorenzo. Yes, sir. And the reason all those ideas like the Chi is so fresh is because they're letting young black creatives actually do their thing and the white people are not getting in the way. Salute to Lena Waithe, creator of the Chi. Hey, Stephanie, get it off your chest. I just want to say that I went to the Salt Bae restaurant on Saturday, and it was really bad.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's not worth it. You went to Salt Bae's restaurant. What didn't you like? I didn't like it because I ordered my steak medium well, and I got it, like, bloody. It was bad. Yeah, who eats medium well? You shouldn't be eating medium well.
Starting point is 00:16:40 When you go to those types of restaurants, you're supposed to get the texture and taste of a steak. It should be medium the most. But would the salt bae throw some salt on your steak or he wasn't there? No, he wasn't there. Oh. That was disappointing. I ain't going to lie though, man.
Starting point is 00:16:53 No disrespect to Salt Bae. I just can't go nowhere where his thing is salt. Like salt has been killing black people for years. All right? All right. I'm sorry he didn't like it. I mean, the menu's mad small too, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:04 It was not worth it. And I love you, Charlie Maine. I have your book. I'm waiting for you't like it I mean the menu's mad small too right Yeah it was not worth it And I love you Charlamagne I have your book I'm waiting for you to sign it one day I will baby we gotta figure that out Okay I follow you on Instagram My Instagram is Mildest Stephanie Alright I'm gonna follow you but you know I'm gonna follow you for as long as I can Until assault kills you okay
Starting point is 00:17:19 Oh my goodness get it off your chest 800-585-1051 We'll find out who applied for an MMA license. It might be going down. We'll tell you about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Angela Yee quit? Is she still working? Nah, she was in Puerto Rico for a fundraiser, and she was supposed to get back at 5 a.m. But the flight was delayed. So she should be landing in the next 10 minutes and then bringing her ass to work.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I doubt it. All right, but let's get into the rumor report. Lil Xan, he's running. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Lil Xan pissed off a lot of people last week when he said Tupac's music was boring. Hmm. Boring music. He said it was boring music, and then he said that the press, the media, they kind of mixed up his words. The media twisted my words. I think Tupac is a legend.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Tupac is definitely a legend. They just twist your words, and they want you to hate me. Don't hate me. Positivity. I don't care if Lil Xan thinks that Tupac's music is boring because music is subjective. What I disagree with and why he got donkier today is because he gave Tupac a 2 on the clout scale. If you know what clout is,
Starting point is 00:18:39 that's power, influence. There's nobody more influential than Tupac Shakur. He was in California over the weekend, and some high school students didn't like what he had to say. Chased his ass right up out of there. Like, he had to run to the police, like, please get me out of here. See, there's a bunch of little kids who was in the house and riding in the car with their parents while they was playing Tupac,
Starting point is 00:18:58 keep your head up, and Tupac, dear mama, and Tupac, I ain't mad at you. And they know the importance of Tupac. There was no physical fight, but he ran fast. He ran to a YMCA, and this is why he said he ran. They're saying I am a p*** for the police escorting me away from a group of 20 people that wanted to jump me. You can call me a p*** all you want.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I am not a gang-banging rapper. Am I supposed to act hard? Am I supposed to not p*** with the police because I'm a rapper? Oh, wait, I have to, huh? Because that's what cool rappers do, right? Dropping the clues bombs for Lil Xan. I mean, he's absolutely right. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:19:37 You know. He said, I'm not about that life. Hey, 911, what's your emergency? They're about to jump me. It's not like he running around here acting like he's Tekashi 69. That's true. Okay, acting like he can't get touched. Tekashi69 cannot run from anybody. No, he can
Starting point is 00:19:47 hear a police escort. Lozan can. Right. He sure did. Now, let's talk Floyd Mayweather. Now, it was rumored that he applied for an MMA license and was ready to fight. And they caught up with him and they asked him about it. This is what he had to say. Did your team apply for an MMA license to fight? Not yet.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Not yet. But everything takes time. Eventually, we're going to apply for the license and hopefully we can fight. Okay, they said it might take you about three months training. I mean, I know you train hard. It probably needs a little bit longer, a little bit longer, a little bit longer. Even if it takes six to eight months, whatever it takes, we want to make sure that everything is done correctly and everything is done the right way.
Starting point is 00:20:24 If Floyd Mayweather don't say this 41-year-old ass, if you're worth over $500 million and you're 41 years old, why do you want to get in the MMA ring? I don't know. Either two things are happening here. One, Floyd needs the money. He's having some type of money problems and he needs the money. Two, the fight will be rigged because if they was really doing MMA, McGregor would wash Floyd Moneymaker. Maybe we'll see that. Wash him. I thought about the money
Starting point is 00:20:48 situation too, but he's been buying to me like he just bought a jet, he just bought a new crib. If the money was crazy, he would stop. You can't be that boy that 41 years old. I laid on the couch all day yesterday and my knee was hurting. I don't even know why. I wasn't even doing nothing. I was sitting there reading a book. I'm reading Michael Bennett's Things That Make White People
Starting point is 00:21:04 Uncomfortable. I'm reading the book, and my knee was just hurting. I had to go take a nap because my knee was hurting. You had to take a nap because your knee was hurting. Exactly. You know. I know. Now, he also talks about his fighting skills. You know, my wrestling game is not that bad.
Starting point is 00:21:16 On a scale of from 1 to 10, I would say it's probably a 7. And I think we can take it up to, like, a 9. Of course, my hand game is, on a scale from 1 to 10, it's a 100. And a kicking game, on a scale from 1 to 10, it's probably a 4. So we have to tweak a few things then, take things to that next level. Same way McGregor looked like an amateur in the boxing ring, Floyd Mayweather will look like an amateur in the MMA ring. I don't care if he trains for eight months to a year.
Starting point is 00:21:43 It's just a different ballgame. But you'll watch it. No, I won't. You're not going to watch it? I mean, maybe. I don't care if he trains for eight months to a year. It's just a different ballgame. But you'll watch it. No, I won't. You're not going to watch it? I mean, maybe. I'm going to watch it. Because I want to see Floyd Mayweather really get his ass kicked. That's about it. But they're not going to let Floyd Mayweather get his ass kicked. The fight's going to be rigged. It's like they didn't let McGregor really get his ass kicked. If you watch that fight now,
Starting point is 00:21:58 watch it in slow motion. A lot of pulled punches from Floyd Mayweather Jr. against Conor McGregor. They ain't want to hurt him too bad. A lot of pulled punches against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. They ain't want to hurt him too bad. A lot of pulled punches against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. Just go back and watch it. All right. And lastly, April 7th. April 7th.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Write that down on your calendar. That's Charlamagne Tha God day in Columbia, South Carolina. Well, Cardi B is going to be performing on Saturday Night Live. Okay. April 7th. Also, special guest is Chadwick Boseman. South Carolina's own Chadwick Boseman. Drop on the clues box for Chadwick Boseman and Cardi B.
Starting point is 00:22:26 So April 7th. Salute to Cardi B. Make sure you tune in Saturday night. Somewhere right now eating the chopped cheese. I think she's eating Chick-fil-A actually right now. I just saw her tweet that. Chick-fil-A? That Offset bought her some Chick-fil-A, but there's nothing like chopped cheese or something.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Chopped cheese on a bagel. What y'all New Yorkers be eating? Chopped cream cheese? Chopped cheese, man. What's the thing called? Chopped something. Chopped meat and cream cheese? Chopped cheese, man. What's the thing called? Chopped something. Chopped meat and cheese. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:22:47 All I know is it ain't nothing better than Chick-fil-A with a chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit from Chick-fil-A, okay? All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we have a judge in the building, Judge Faith Jenkins. We'll kick it with her next hour, all right? So don't move.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club, and we got a special guest in the building, Judge Faith Jenkins. Good morning, Your Honor. Hi. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Good morning. How are you? Thank you all for having me. I'm great. Now, the first thing when I saw you on the schedule, I said, this young lady gonna have, she gonna make so much money in the future because she's a nationally syndicated judge, and they make a lot of money. That is money. Judge Judy does. She is the standard. So if I can get to like
Starting point is 00:23:29 a fraction of what Judge Judy does, I'd be very happy. How many years now? Judge Judy? Oh, like almost 20 years. Wow. Yeah, she court left and then they found Judy. Judy was a judge here in New York and they found her
Starting point is 00:23:45 and she brought the court back. So she was the only judge show on the air when she started and she built an audience based on that. And when she started getting these great ratings, that's when they ran out and got Judge Mathis and Judge May Blee and put them on the air. I love all of that. Is that stuff real or is
Starting point is 00:24:02 it fake? It's real. These are real cases. Yeah. Real cases. Real. They're real cases. Real cases. We find them. People have filed lawsuits across the country. So we go in. We have runners that go into courts and read the case files and make copies and send them to our producers.
Starting point is 00:24:15 And then we call people and say, hey, would you like, instead of court in New York hearing your case, why don't you come on the show? We'll pay for your airfare. You come on and let Judge Faith hear your case. And do you get to be on there also? Do you get a fee? There's a small appearance fee, but the decision is actually binding.
Starting point is 00:24:32 So they agree to binding arbitration. If the plaintiff has to pay $500, does the TV company take care of it or no? Hell no. You trying to give me all our secrets today? When I first saw the name Judge Faith, I thought you was like a religious judge. Like you did like spiritual court or something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Spiritual court? Oh, you know, that's interesting. But no, no. It's just regular small claims court. All kinds of cases. Now walk me through it because you were a criminal attorney. Yes. I didn't go to college.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I don't know nothing about this. A criminal prosecutor. How do you go from criminal attorney to judge? Like walk me through this. Well, I started out, I was a prosecutor here in Manhattan in the DA's office and before that I worked for a really big law firm doing civil litigation. So
Starting point is 00:25:11 I just had a range of experience and what happened is the George Zimmerman trial happened and I covered that case for all the networks every day. Like a journalist, news reporter type thing? As a legal analyst. Analyzing the case because I just left the DA's office where I prosecuted
Starting point is 00:25:28 crimes here in the city. And I always say, once you go to the DA's office and you learn what really happens in Manhattan, you never look at the city the same again. And so they called me after I did that trial and said, you know, we saw you on with Al Sharpton one night and Bill O'Reilly the next
Starting point is 00:25:44 night. If you can handle both of these audiences, we think you probably have broad appeal to do a nationally syndicated court show. So I never thought about it. Oh, they came to you. They did. They called me. I never thought about it. But I said, well, you know, this seems like something interesting that I should look into. And I watched all the shows.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I love the shows. Did you have to go for more schooling to be a judge? Or you already had all the degrees you needed to be a judge? No, it's just experience. I had civil and criminal. And so it was just based on the experience. What are your thoughts on public defenders? Having worked with a number of them in the city,
Starting point is 00:26:17 they get a bad rap a lot of times. But here's the problem. They're often so overworked. They have so many cases, such a high caseload. But every public defender I've worked with has been really dedicated to the cause. The problem is they are understaffed. They're underpaid. They are overwhelmed and they don't have the resources of the state behind them. So it's already set up initially giving the state an unfair advantage because we
Starting point is 00:26:45 have all of these resources to prosecute cases and they just simply don't have the resources. But when people say, I don't want a public defender, I want a real lawyer. I've heard people say that. I mean, they are real attorneys and the hardworking, dedicated people, but they simply don't have the resources and they're so overwhelmed. What do you do when you have 300 cases on your docket? Can you return all your phone calls? Like you said, it's meant to lose. It's an unfair advantage built into the system. So it's meant for the person to lose because you said the state has all the resources,
Starting point is 00:27:15 but now the public defenders don't. They simply don't have the time or the resources a lot of times to invest what they really need to invest in cases, which is why I always say there's rich men's justice and poor men's justice. If you can afford to have a dream team, your chances are, would you, my law school professor asked me this when I was in school, would you rather be rich and guilty or poor and innocent? Rich and guilty. Because you, you know, there's so much that you can do when you have money and you can go in
Starting point is 00:27:45 with your dream team and you have a great advantage in our system. That's a great point and I wanted to ask you, because you're a criminal attorney, how do people represent people they know are guilty? Like, I think of the movie Devil's Advocate. You ever seen Devil's Advocate? Yes. Why do people, like, how do you represent somebody you know is guilty? And I thought about this when I was watching the OJ case
Starting point is 00:28:02 the other night, too. Well, it goes back to a public defender. Don't you want everyone to have an opportunity to be represented everyone should have that opportunity right to have representation so are we going to start deciding well this person is guilty they shouldn't have a lawyer who gets to make that decision so everyone and so but as an advocate it's our job to simply put forth a case now personally I was never a criminal defense attorney. I was a prosecutor. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:28 When I started, Angela, I thought, I don't want to be a prosecutor because I don't want to lock people up. Right. But this is really important because everyone wants to be an activist now. You have to understand prosecutors are the most powerful players in this system. If you really want to make a change, you want to make a difference. They need people with different backgrounds, perspectives. So it is a change. You want to make a difference. They need people with different backgrounds, perspectives. So it is a job. You have a duty to give people representation because you don't want to start drawing a line in the sand and say this person deserves it and that person doesn't.
Starting point is 00:28:54 But also people need to understand that a prosecutor's job, that's something you really want to look into if you really want to make a difference is because a lot of times what happens with your case depends on who gets your case. That's a fact. You remember Plaxico Burris? Yes. He was in New York. See him all the time. He got two years and he shot himself. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Right. In New York. We have cases. I had a 17 year old with a loaded gun. Whoever gets that case, you have a lot of power and discretion to make decisions about these cases. And that's why I say this is a really important job that people should consider when you're trying to...
Starting point is 00:29:28 So you have the power to offer them a deal. Yes. You have the power to recommend a certain sentence. Yes, sometimes more than judges. What to charge someone with. But is that fair? You know, because let's say you have, let's say a white prosecutor and attorney
Starting point is 00:29:39 that is not from the same place that these individuals are from and don't know anything, you know? Like you said, you were from Harlem, so you seen what was going around in Harlem. So you kind of understood a little bit. So it's kind of scary if you have somebody that doesn't know anything about me, doesn't know about my community and just says, OK, he has a gun. He's a hoodlum. I'm going to give him four years. That's why she says it's an important job for people to look into if you want to be an activist.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Well, if you want to make a difference, if you want to make a change, then bring your perspective to the table, have a seat at the table. And of course, to answer your question, yes, it's scary, but that's what happens. That's how a 17 year old in New Orleans gets 40 years because someone doesn't have empathy. Someone doesn't care. And so, yes, it is scary. I had colleagues who would get that same 17 year old girl who got a probation. In my case, some of my colleagues would have tried to give her the deal that Plaxico got, because that was our standard plea agreement if you got caught with a gun two years.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I agree everybody should have the right to a lawyer, but sometimes you see some of these crimes and you're like, why waste taxpayers' money? Like the guy who shot up Parkland High School? Absolutely. F.M. What does he get the right to a fair trial and a lawyer and all that for? I know. No, we saw that's a different... Those are scream cases all that for? I know. I know. No, no, no. We saw that's a different.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Those are scream cases like that. If I take my lawyer hat off for a second, I agree with you. I'm like, why? He's 19 years old. Even if he gets the death penalty, he's going to be in prison for 10 years waiting for that to happen. Maybe 15 based on the way appeals are and taxpayers are going to pay for it. It just seems patently unfair. But the Central Park people, they thought they were guilty. The lady pointed them out.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And if there was no trial... But they deserve a lawyer. That's different. But see, the issue is... Right. That was a whole, you know... It was crazy. See, here's the problem. Like, when you start drawing that line saying, obviously this person is guilty, he doesn't deserve it.
Starting point is 00:31:26 It's just that line just is going to keep getting moved. And that's why it's just better, you know, have your representation, have the due process and, and go forward with it. You have to go across the board with everything. You do, because if your theory happens, the people who will be impacted the most will be our people. It will be people of color in the system. And they already have so many issues stacked up against them already. So I just, you know, you just have to stick with
Starting point is 00:31:53 the due process as we have it set up. Even with the Central Park Five, they did admit, they confessed to something but they were forced to do it. Right. And so imagine you're like, okay, they said they did it so they don't deserve a lawyer or anything. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Exactly. I understand that, but I'm talking about the ones we see visibly. We didn't, you know, Central Park Five was a little sketchy so that deserves representation.
Starting point is 00:32:13 We didn't do the shooting. Nobody's seen it. There's no video. We didn't say it was. Go to sleep. Listen. But what Judge Faith is saying is right.
Starting point is 00:32:19 If you're going to do it to, you have to be across the board because then they'll say, well, we saw this, we saw that, and maybe, you know, you just have to I guess, when you set a standard that standard has to apply to everybody.
Starting point is 00:32:30 We got more with Judge Faith Jenkins when we come back, we have to discuss the Zimmerman trial, and what's the craziest case you had on TV? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:32:49 We are The Breakfast Club. We have Judge Faith Jenkins in the building. Charlamagne? Listen, with the Zimmerman trial, you covered that. Is there a way to be black and be objective in that situation? That's a good question. I can't speak for all black lawyers who spoke out about the case on television, but I was asked to give an opinion on the case. And so every day when I watched it, I watched the trial.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It didn't matter if I was on Fox News or CNN. I gave the same opinion. I didn't change for, you know, the different network that I was on. And it was my legal opinion based on what I was seeing. And I said on TV, I think that George Zimmerman is guilty and he should be convicted of this crime. But trials are not about the truth, especially jury trial, because there's what actually happened. And then there's what you can present in court in trial. Those are two different things in a lot of cases because jurors won't know a lot of the background. They won't know a lot of information that we knew, for example, in the Zimmerman trial. So you have to keep that in mind. And attorneys know when
Starting point is 00:33:58 you're doing a jury trial, a lot of times it's about the emotion and you are putting it all out there. You are acting in front of these jurors and it's it's you know, you're becoming angry and you're making these insinuations. They won't say it. But, you know, this was a black kid and he was in a hoodie. What if this was your neighborhood? So a lot of that was going on in the Zimmerman trial and they were in a bubble. And so I think that my opinion was based on globally what I was hearing and reading about George Zimmerman in that case. As a criminal attorney, do you see how he got off? Yes. What were the holes in the case? more so about implicit bias and fear based on Trayvon being this young kid walking in this neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:34:55 And they were able to plant seeds in some of the jurors' minds that, you know, you could understand why Zimmerman was afraid when you have been too. Which is crazy because he didn't seem afraid when he was pursuing him. He definitely didn't seem afraid. They told him not to and to leave him alone and let him walk. That doesn't indicate fair to me. Right. That indicates that you are fearless. That was the argument.
Starting point is 00:35:10 That was the state's case. The reason why the case went to trial was because he followed him and he shouldn't have. Did you happen to watch that OJ confession last week? I did not watch it, but I've read about it. Was it a confession? Apparently it was a hypothetical. Yeah, right. That's what people are saying. All right. watching but i've read about it was it a confession the apparently it was a hypothetical but but why would anyone ever think that that was a good idea i don't know like even to put it out there as a hypothetical that's crazy it is crazy you think they should amend the constitution for double jeopardy laws when it comes to cases like this
Starting point is 00:35:40 you think oj did it? I do. Duh. I do, yeah. Some people don't think it. Some people don't still, but, I mean, everything that happened with his blood being at the scene
Starting point is 00:35:53 and the glove and the slow car chase in L.A., the slow speed car chase, yes, I do. Were you happy he got off? At the time,
Starting point is 00:36:02 I was in Louisiana at the time. I was in school. And I will tell you, that was a case, a trial. And I wasn't really, I wasn't a lawyer then or anything like that. Like I said, I was in school. You were in middle school, right? No.
Starting point is 00:36:17 I was in college. What? No. Yeah, it was my first year of college. In 94? Yes, yes. Stop looking at her age, man. Age marks. Yeah, it was my first year of college. In 94? Yes, yes. Stop looking at her age, man. Stop looking at her age. Stop looking at her age.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Her age marks. And I just remember being in Louisiana, and it was the most racially divided time at my university. So they brought in TVs to our student union to watch the verdict. They brought in top class, too. Yeah, to watch the verdict live. And all of the black students gathered around on one side and the white students on the other side. And it was like what you've seen across America
Starting point is 00:36:52 when the verdict came in. All the black kids cheered. And I thought he was innocent at the time. So I was like, yeah, you know. And people had this, we won. For once. Yeah, for once. And then later on in life, we realized,
Starting point is 00:37:04 oh, they didn't give a damn about black people like wait a minute what and i hadn't really followed the case then you know i was in school so yeah that was pretty divisive at our at our university let's talk about you because i need to know what your diet is how much water you drink a day because you're 57 years old, clearly. What's happening? I just drink a lot of Fiji water. Is that Fiji? There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Just finish that. You'll be good. Are you a vegan in any way? No. I'm from Louisiana. I eat everything. Yeah, you're pork and all. Pork and everything.
Starting point is 00:37:38 No stress? Like, what is it? I mean, I've had a... Yeah, just... I try, Angela. I've always just been like a good student and I go to work and I sleep. Stop it. You flew in, Deanna.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I need sleep. Mystical comes on, shake that ass. You know about that after Pagano. Back in my day, I did have a time or two where I, you know. Sissy Novi comes on, you go crazy. Now, as a judge on TV, what's the craziest case you've seen so far? It was a case out of Atlanta. It was a real, like, filed case in Atlanta
Starting point is 00:38:05 and a guy who walked into my court looking like a deacon from church. He had on a suit and a boutonniere and all this stuff. He was suing a young lady. He was probably 50 years old and he was suing a young lady who was a 21-year-old college student because
Starting point is 00:38:21 he paid for services. For sex. Yeah. And she didn't give it to him. And so he filed a lawsuit. He got got. And he wanted his money back. He wanted his money back. And so when I got the write-up, I said, this can't be real.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I must be missing something to this story. This was a loan, right, that he's suing for or something like that. No, I went out there. No. He's like, I paid her. I can't remember now, like $250 maybe. What did you have to reimburse? What did you have to reimburse?
Starting point is 00:38:48 What did you have to reimburse? What did you have to reimburse? What did you have to reimburse? So that was the craziest case. Well, A, technically that's a prostitution case, and that is illegal. But he did pay for services. But he did pay for services, and he did not get them. And she could get in trouble, too.
Starting point is 00:39:01 However, she could get in trouble, too. However, there's a doctrine in court. We call it the doctrine of clean hands which means when you come into court you can't sue over an illegal transaction you can't sue over a bad a drug deal that went bad you didn't get all the stuff you wanted when you when you when you bought the stuff so you gotta handle that in the streets like you can't bring it into court so i had to throw it out. But I was just shocked that, A, not only is it court, but it's also on TV. And he had a daughter her age. It was just, I just thought it was crazy. But yeah, that was our, that was my first season. I've just never gotten over
Starting point is 00:39:35 that. All right. We have more with Judge Faith Jenkins. When we come back, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Judge Faith Jenkins. Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Judge Faith Jenkins in the building. Charlamagne? I'm always interested in how God moves people because you said that you weren't even interested in being a judge.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I wasn't. So when that seed was planted, what made you be like, hmm? Well, because, you know, oftentimes I say God's plan for our lives is better than our own because I had my own plan. And when I got this call, I thought that it was a sign that I was supposed to do something bigger than what I was doing. And, you know, they call me and the show wasn't sold or anything like that. They just had this idea. And when it happened, and it just goes to show you when you're doing your job and your work, you always want to be doing the best you can do because you never know who's watching. I always say that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 You never know. Even if you hate your job, make sure you do a great job at it because you have no idea who is paying attention. That's right. And you have no idea where your colleagues are going to end up next. So you always want to, A, do great work and treat people right. Absolutely. What's your passion? Overall, at first, I love the law.
Starting point is 00:40:44 So anything I do that's law related is great. And I love the show because we help a lot of people. I mean, we if you watch, we have fun, we laugh, we cry. But we also help a lot of people because they come on the show and $800 may not be a significant amount to some people. But to some people come on the show, it's all the money they had and they were cheated out of it. So we have people who come on the show who've never been on an airplane before. We fly them out and it's an experience. My show is not just about the law. I'm passionate about the law, but we do so much more than that.
Starting point is 00:41:16 We help a lot of people. And then beyond that, you know, my speaking engagements that I do now to go and talk to college students and kids like that is something I'm really passionate about. I heard you were a fire speaker. Really? Yeah, I did see that somewhere. Oh, okay. Well, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:41:31 You just spoke somewhere, like on March 6th or something. I did. Yeah, I did the keynote for Women's History Month at, where was I? I was in, was it Tennessee? I don't know, but I heard rumblings of that speech of everybody. I saw some people talking about it. Well, it's important because I don't remember when I was in school having someone like me come to speak. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:51 And so it's so important. I know you all do this all the time, but it's so important for people to see someone like you as a realistic role model. A black woman. And that you can do this. And I tell them my story. If I can do it, I had no no connections my parents didn't graduate from college um so we didn't know anybody i'm from louisiana and if i can do this and have this journey that i've had then you can too and and that's just my message so i tell people about my story and how i ended up with this show in la and
Starting point is 00:42:22 i feel like i'm just getting started now Are you a Miss America runner-up? Yes, I was. Tell us about that. Yes, I was. Tell us about that, Miss America. You still look a little hurt that you didn't win. You can tell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah. Actually, Judge Faith Jenkins is winning in many ways. Tell us about that. You didn't win that competition. It's true. I did not. That hurt. That was tough.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Who won? Who won? Miss Hawaii. Miss won? Miss Hawaii. Miss Hawaii. I said I'd never say that name again. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Everything happens for a reason, right?
Starting point is 00:42:54 I had to say that at the time. At the time, it sucked. Why do you think you lost? I don't know. I felt like I should have won. You were the last one. You know what? I said I never want to have a moment like that in my life again, where I am on stage in front of millions of people, and they decide my fate, and I have to smile.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Hug the other person who won. And hug. And I was happy. I mean, you know, I wasn't a bad sport at all. But I just, you know, afterwards, when the cameras went off, tears were just streaming down my face because I worked so hard, and it's what I wanted at the time. But I always say, you know, my mom told me at the time, she said, God has something better for you than Miss America. I was like, well, what is that? You know,
Starting point is 00:43:33 because at that time I was like, well, this is pretty awesome. You know, I want to do this. But as I've looked at my journey, because I went right after I was Miss Louisiana. So I went right back to school and I got my law degree. And as I look at my journey and where I ended up, I couldn't do what I'm doing now without the experience, without going back to school, getting my degree. And this is, as my mom said, better than that, in my opinion. Until you're doing a trial case and you lose in front of everybody in the courtroom. That happens. You cried in? No, no, because it happens.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I mean, it's just a part of your job. You don't win every case you have. And, you know, just like in life. You know, you have things that happen and somebody gets a second chance. It must be, it was a good day for them, apparently. Now, Mrs. Hawaii comes up in your courtroom, right? Guilty as charged. I'm just kidding. I love Angela. Now, Mrs. Hawaii comes up in your courtroom, right? Guilty as charged. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I love Angela. I love Angela. Did you ever want to be a singer for real? Singer? You sing? That was my talent, Miss America. That was my talent.
Starting point is 00:44:38 You won for the singer. Thank you. Give us a little something. Do you want to sing the part as well? Give us a little something. Let's sing the thing. I don't sing anymore. I haven't, I haven't like.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I'm sure that's why you lost the whole. I was good back then. You have to keep the vocal cords worked out. That's the problem. I then became a lawyer and I stopped singing. I thought I can't do both of these things. No, I didn't. That was my talent.
Starting point is 00:45:01 You know, I was, I was pretty good back then. I did win the talent competition. What did you sing? Regina Bale's version of If I Could. It was originally done by Nancy Wilson. But, yeah. I saw you excited on Instagram about the Queens of Court promo. Do you have a relationship with the other judges?
Starting point is 00:45:14 Like, do they embrace you? Are they like a fraternity? Like, they keep you on the outside for now? Sorority. I would love to meet them. The only other judge I've met, I've met Judge Mathis. I think he's so hilarious, too. He's so funny. He's so funny. I watch him to meet them. The only other judge I've met, I've met Judge Mathis. I think he's so hilarious, too. He's so funny.
Starting point is 00:45:27 He's so funny. I watch him all the time. And I met Judge Mathis, and I met Judge Maybelline. No Judy yet? No. But I've been invited over to meet her. I'm still scared of Judy. Maybelline is divorced.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I don't know. She seems a little mean on TV, but I don't think she's mean on TV. Yeah, she's probably going to be really nice when I meet her. And, you know, certainly she doesn't see me as any competition. She's like, oh, okay. She just means to people when they do dumb stuff, though. Yeah. Like when you're, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:50 She'll be hearing people out sometimes. But she just set the standard. Like she is, you know, she is the standard. You know, she's the number one show on daytime TV. Absolutely. By far. Absolutely. So as long as Judy's successful, Court will always be around.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And your name is on the show. That's kind of, that's a big deal. Because it's like people's court, divorce court, but then Judge Judy. Yeah. Yeah. That's a big deal. You know, it's pretty good. No, I don't feel pressure.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Woo. We look forward to watching it some more. Word. Judge Faith Jenkins. Thank you for joining us, man. Thank you. It's syndicated. So just check your local listings and follow my, my Instagram, Judge Faith Jenkins.

Starting point is 00:46:34 maybe we want to sue each other? Well, yeah. I guess you could, but our cap is $5,000. What you saying? We should take Joe Button on there. I have a feeling. Remember that bet he made on there that would it be bad just so you know i now that i've met all of you i will still be fair and impartial

If he says, okay, I'll make this bet with you right now on the air. That's pretty compelling evidence, actually. Yeah, because we get text messages. I get everything now as evidence.
Starting point is 00:47:19 So that's pretty compelling. Well, thank you, Judge Faith Jenkins. Judge Faith, man. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:47:33 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to it. Salute to Judge Faith Jenkins for coming through, dropping a clue bomb for her. 57 years old, doesn't look a day over 22. She might be 40, 41. Doesn't look a day over 22. She's 57 40, 41. Doesn't look a day over 22. She's 57.
Starting point is 00:47:47 She's not 57. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Drake. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, Yee should be here in a second. Her flight landed, so she's on her way. So we'll see what happens due to traffic.
Starting point is 00:48:04 All right, now, over the weekend, it seems Her flight landed, so she's on her way. So we'll see what happens due to traffic. All right. Now, over the weekend, it seems like a lot of things were going on with Drake. Now, they shot the video to his record with the Migos. It's actually Migos' record, Walk It, Talk It. They had a cameo from Jamie Foxx. They shot that over the weekend. Also, Drake released his version of N.E.R.D.'s Lemon. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:22 It was a remix. He actually did his OVO sound radio. Pharrell actually did a guest DJ mix, and they premiered it. Let's play a snippet of N.E.R.D.'s Lemon. It was a remix. He actually did his OVO Sound Radio. Pharrell actually did a guest DJ mix, and they premiered it. Let's play a snippet of it. I get it how I live it. I live it how I get it. Y'all don't really get it.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I pull up in a lemon. Blocks get to spinning. Money 3D printing. Never had a limit. Never been religious. I just always had opinions. My daddy told me, listen, you better get some money or I'll die and go to
Starting point is 00:48:50 prison. So you see, yeah, I got rich and stay free. Free the dogs doing B.I.D. We're going to play the full version in the mix this morning. That's some sound advice. You know what I'm saying? His father told him get some money and stay out of prison. Yep. Some sound advice. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Now, lastly, it seems like Drake is in Wyoming right now, and that is the same place Kanye is. And they said he's just not doing a feature. They believe it's more than that. What? Possibly doing maybe an album together? By the way, why do people act like Kanye West didn't come on The Breakfast Club? What year was that?
Starting point is 00:49:23 I don't even remember. 2015, maybe? 2015 Yeah about 15 2015 And he said this The Wolves song Came from a conversation That me and Drake had Where we was gonna
Starting point is 00:49:33 Do an album together And the album Was called Wolves So that's what We might be seeing So far That wasn't the whole clip The whole clip
Starting point is 00:49:41 Was like this was This is an exclusive I'm giving y'all We doing this album Jesus Christ Play the whole thing Brief The producers didn't Put the whole clip, the whole clip was like, this is an exclusive I'm giving y'all. We doing this album. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I got to play the whole thing with the whole thing brief. The producers didn't put the whole clip in. Jesus, what the?
Starting point is 00:49:49 What? Nothing. The moral of the story is Kanye West told us, how many years ago was that? What year is it now? Three years ago. Three years ago that him and Drake was doing the album, Call Wolves. Now, also the artists that have been seen in Wyoming, Travis Scott, The Dream, Nas, Lil Uzi, Kid Cudi.
Starting point is 00:50:05 So we'll see what this album turns out to be. All Kanye's usual ghostwriters. Okay, which means he's going to drop a phenomenal album. Collaborators is what they call it. Whatever. All right. Now BET, in partnership with YouTube, is bringing back Freestyle Friday.
Starting point is 00:50:18 You excited? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that. Well, this is what they're doing. They're getting a bunch of contenders from all over the country, and it's going to be like a rap battle. And then the winner will perform as the opening act for the BET Experience
Starting point is 00:50:33 annual hip-hop show at the Staples. I don't know if I like seeing the rookies freestyling. I don't know if I like seeing the amateurs freestyle. You got to be really, really, really, really, really good. Because the bar has been set very high by the professionals. Right. You know what I mean? Well, they're going to be picking, I guess,
Starting point is 00:50:50 they're going to pick somebody from New York, Toronto, London, Los Angeles. I guess the big major cities. They're going to pick one person that's dope, and then whoever wins that is going to be performing at the BET Experience. You think about the Royster 5'9 freestyle and the Vison and the Black Thought freestyle. That bar is set pretty high. There gotta be some dudes that still, that's spitting like that.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Or close to. I guess, I don't know. But it gotta be about bars, though. It can't just be about a song. I want to hear real, real bars if it's going to be Freestyle Friday. In fact, they did have some real lyricists on Freestyle Friday. They did. Back in the day.
Starting point is 00:51:22 You had Jin and you had Post-a-Boy. What was his name? Post-a-Boy. Post-a-Boy the day, you had Jen and you had Post-a-Boy. Post-a-Boy. That's the only track I remember, Post-a-Boy and Jen. I feel like I'm missing a lot. I know I'm missing a lot of people, but that was such a long time ago. You know what? Eff it. Bring it back.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Who cares? All right. Not going to hurt nothing. And that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne. Yes. Who are you giving that donkey to? We need OJ Simpson to come to the front of the congregation.
Starting point is 00:51:42 We'd like to have a word with him, please. Oh, boy. All right. We'll give it to OJ. When we come back, don of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. Oh, boy. All right. We'll give it to O.J. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit.
Starting point is 00:51:53 It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. A rental? Did she get donkey in the name, please? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. It's the Breakfast Club, Dylan. Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. That's a breakfast club, bitchy. You're a donkey.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Donkey of the day for Monday, March 19th goes to Orenthal James Simpson, commonly known to the planet as the Negro who got away with double murder, O.J. Simpson. I'm at the point in my life where I just want O.J. to go away. I want O.J. to disappear, vanish.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I want him to get so low that when he dies, we all say to ourselves, damn, I thought O.J. Simpson been dead. I have no idea why America is so obsessed with O.J. Simpson, especially after what we saw last week with that If I Did It special. It's safe to say that the judicial system got it wrong. Happens all the time in America, okay, after family and Trayvon Martin. But the same way I don't want to hear from George Zimmerman,
Starting point is 00:52:43 I don't want to hear from O.J. They are both two sides of the same sociopathic coin, and I can't believe either one of them are still alive. Honestly, I thought some, you know, white extremist would have taken O.J. out by now, and I thought a gangbanger who's really about that life would have taken out George Zimmerman by now, but alas, neither has happened yet, and George Zimmerman and O.J. Simpson, sadly, are still on the planet with us. Now, here's the thing I honestly thought.
Starting point is 00:53:08 I really thought O.J. Simpson was innocent back in the day. I was in high school. I didn't really know all the intricate details of the case. I just knew, you know, the Rodney King trial had just happened, and the cops who did that got off, and every rapper I enjoyed from L.A. was talking about how crooked the cops in L.A. were, so I thought they was just trying to frame O.J. because he was black. Now, this is before I found out later on in life that O.J. Simpson didn't give a damn about being black.
Starting point is 00:53:30 In fact, he said, I'm not black, I'm O.J. I'm not black, I'm O.J. Yeah, so I wasn't one of those people who knew O.J. was guilty, but was still rooting for him to get off because he was black. I really thought he was innocent. And one thing we can all admit now is that those of us who rooted for O.J. to get off for whatever reason were absolutely on the wrong side of history. Can you admit that, Envy?
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yes. Yes, okay. He told you himself last week, hypothetically, during that, did I confess special or if I did it special or did O.J. do it, whatever the hell it was. He hypothetically admitted that he did it. And if committing the double murders doesn't convince you that OJ is a psychopath, then him doing an interview detailing what happened when he hypothetically committed the murders
Starting point is 00:54:13 should absolutely seal the deal on his psychopathic status. With that said, why do we care what OJ Simpson has to say about anything? Jason Point, the Buffalo News, the hometown paper of the NFL team OJ once played for. They did OJ's first interview since he's been home
Starting point is 00:54:32 from prison. And by the way, I'm glad print journalism is back, but nothing beats video and audio nowadays, especially at a time like this, okay?
Starting point is 00:54:40 If there's video and audio of this, my team couldn't find it. But the Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about several topics in the story published last Friday, and one of the subjects was on the good brother Colin Kaepernick. Drop on the
Starting point is 00:54:52 clues bombs for Colin Kaepernick. The Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. I repeat, the Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. I repeat, the Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality, and OJ's answer was this. I think
Starting point is 00:55:11 Colin made a mistake. I really appreciate what he was trying to say. I thought he made a bad choice in attacking the flag. Let's unpack that for a second. First of all, Orenthal, Colin did not attack the flag. Colin peacefully protested the flag, which he has every constitutional right to do. And he was kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. See, attacking the flag would be Colin taking a knife and just violently cutting the flag to shreds. Okay, that would be attacking the flag. That's not what Colin Kaepernick did, OJ. That's what you and Charlie did when y'all killed Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman, hypothetically.
Starting point is 00:55:46 OK, peaceful protests and attacks are two different things. Colin didn't make a mistake. Colin knew exactly what his intentions were and he did exactly what he intended to do. And that's bring light to a situation that needed to have some light on it. Now, if you want to talk mistakes, let's talk about the mistakes the prosecution team made during your murder trial. O.J. Simpson, let's talk about the mistake the jurors made when they found you not guilty. Hell, let's talk about the mistake the police made by not taking Nicole Simpson's cries for help about your crazy ass serious. Okay, how can you a man, how can you, all right,
Starting point is 00:56:16 a man who committed a double murder and then wrote a book about it and then did a TV interview hypothetically confessing to it, tell a man who was out here protesting police brutality, they made a mistake, right? I don't want to hear O.J. Simpson say someone else has made a mistake when he won't admit to his own. For all the kids out there listening, I don't want to be the moral police, but let's just say hypothetically Colin Kaepernick did make a mistake
Starting point is 00:56:43 by peacefully protesting the flag. Hypothetically, Colin Kaepernick did make a mistake by peacefully protesting the flag. Hypothetically, of course, right? If I had to weigh mistakes, kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality or hypothetically murdering two people, which mistake, hypothetically, of course, would you choose? Who would you choose, Envy? Kneeling. Okay. Just making sure.
Starting point is 00:57:04 All right. Orenthal James Simpson, shut the F up, Falvo. Please let Remy Ma give O.J. Simpson the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-----. Are you dumb? Mm-mm-mm. Listen, kids, you can learn a lot from your mistakes when you aren't busy denying them.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Absolutely. O.J. will never learn from this situation. Not at all. He's too busy denying it. There you go. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now's too busy denying it. There you go. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, shoot your shot.
Starting point is 00:57:29 All right? If you want to shoot your shot with somebody, maybe a coworker, maybe a friend, maybe an ex, it doesn't matter. 800-585-1051. Tell us who you want to shoot your shot with. We'll do it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot. It's time to shoot your shot. With The Breakfast Club. This is your one chance. Don't mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Nick. Nick, what's going on, Nick? How much, guys? How are you? Everything is good. Now, what's going on, man? Who much, guys? How are you? Everything is good. Now, what's going on, man?
Starting point is 00:58:05 Who do you want to shoot your shot with, Nick? All right, well, so I'm an Uber driver, and I actually have this client, passenger, that I, you know, happen to take around a lot. And, you know, I've taken her home from work a couple times, and it's been really, like, nice. You know, we have friendly conversations every time. Like, we have a really good connection.
Starting point is 00:58:32 How are you getting the same person all the time? Well, I guess, you know, it's just in my, like, sort of neighborhood area. I've seen that before. Sometimes when I call the Uber, the same Uber comes, but you could be stalking as well. It sounds a little stalkerish. Are you purposely trying to make sure she's in your Uber? No, I wasn't at first. But, I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:51 I'll admit, since I've met her, you know, it's been a couple weeks, and I've been trying to stay, like, within range of her job, you know, hoping that, you know, I could maybe, like, connect with her for a ride. Because I just enjoy her company. It's been a few weeks, and yeah, I could maybe, like, connect with her for a ride because I just enjoy her company. It's been a few weeks, and, yeah, I haven't seen her.
Starting point is 00:59:09 So I'm just wondering if I can. You probably haven't seen her because you've been weirding her out every time she gets into your Uber. So she probably calls your number, calls Uber, and when you pop up, she switches to somebody else. Or maybe she has a ride to wherever she's going or something. Mad negative, man. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:59:24 All right, but go ahead. He has a point, though. So do you know if she has a man or anything? I don't know anything about that. I don't think so. So you got her address. Why don't you just pull up to her crib? Do you guys have good conversation when she's in the car? Yeah, we do.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I mean, she seems to really like talking to me. I mean, it's just a good connection all around, you know? So I have no reason to believe that she's weirded out. What kind of rating does she give you? She tells me that she gives me a full rating every time, five stars. How do you rate her? Five stars, of course.
Starting point is 00:59:57 You know it. Okay, all right. Wait, wait. Is she always by herself, or is there any indication that she's dating someone? Does she talk on the phone? You could tell a lot about people's phone conversations when they're in an Uber. Is she always by herself, or is there any indication that she's dating someone? Does she talk on the phone? You could tell a lot about people's phone conversations when they're in an Uber. Is she calling her man, like, I miss you, I love you? There's been no indication of that.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I haven't heard her talking to anyone. You know, it's just like her going from home to work, and, you know, she's talking to me the whole time. Okay. I don't think so. So what you're saying is she's pretty easy to kidnap? Wow, this guy. He watched too many movies, man. All right, well, we'll call her
Starting point is 01:00:30 when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:00:39 We're in the middle of Shoot Your Shot. We have Nick on the line. He's about to call Carly. Let's see how that goes. Hello? Hey, Carly. It's Nick. Nick. Uber driver Nick. Oh, hey, Nick. How are you? I'm good. Sorry to call you out of the blue. I just wanted to reach out to you because it's been like a few weeks since I've seen you. And I know I've driven you a few times here and there. And I guess I just, I wanted to say that I, you know, I really, like, enjoy your company.
Starting point is 01:01:31 And, you know, thought maybe, like, we could hang out sometime. Well, you know, I live with someone. I do have a boyfriend. All right. Well, there you have it. Nick, sorry. You have a boyfriend. Oh, wow. All right. Well, there you have it. Nick, sorry. You have a boyfriend? I'm sorry?
Starting point is 01:01:47 Carly, this is Angela, Envy, and Charlamagne from The Breakfast Club. Good morning. And Nick was going to do a segment called Shoot Your Shot because he has a little crush on you. But he decided to call Uber Pool instead of the regular Uber and bring us along with him. And he got his shot rejected. Seems that you're in a relationship. Well, it's not really rejected. I mean, I like his company, too.
Starting point is 01:02:09 We have a lot. You know, we joke around. We laugh. And, yes, I have a boyfriend, but it's just not working out. It's getting old. Don't be a hoe. Don't be a hoe. Don't do that.
Starting point is 01:02:20 No, no, no. Don't do that. Don't listen to him. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but, I mean, what has your boyfriend done for you lately? I mean, I'm the one driving you around everywhere. Oh, my. And she's paying you. You ain't like you giving her free rides.
Starting point is 01:02:34 No, I mean, you're right in some ways. Like, he's never home. I'm always by myself. That's why, actually, I'm always calling Uber because he's never around to pick me up or take me to where I got to go. But he won't do the next man well. You know what I'm saying? This is like a new TV show for the love of Uber. You deserve a man who's going to drive you places.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Oh, my God. Uber love. And he'll drive you for free from now on. I like hanging out with you. No, you're very sweet. I enjoy your company also. So is this going to be a love connection or not, man? I know, because I'm getting...
Starting point is 01:03:12 I would really like to. I mean, just like I said, I'm living with someone. I'm trying to end it now, actually. But this may give me a reason to speed it up a little more. Now, I just want you to know that he's going to have to charge you for this because you're past your wait time. All right? So now he's going to have to charge you for this.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Okay? You could have did this five minutes ago. All right? The meter's running. Yes, it is. My goodness. Well, I guess we've made a love connection, ladies and gentlemen. Well, good luck, guys.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Thank you. All right. Well, it's the Breakfast Club. It shoots your shot. Rumors are next. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.
Starting point is 01:03:51 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?
