Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

That's what my podcast

Starting point is 00:01:38 The world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. What the hell is this, man? I'm glad they put y'all together. Y'all are like a megaforce. Y'all just took over every... Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown.
Starting point is 00:01:51 I've officially joined The Breakfast Club. Say something, motherfucker. I'm with it. The world's most dangerous morning show. Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA! yo, yo, yo. Good morning, Anjali. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Friday. Yes, it's Friday. It is. Happy to be here, man. Happy to see you another Friday. Another quarantined week is in the books. That's right. Good morning. And I'm excited about today.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Today, Friday, is my daughter's last day of high school. She is, after today's classes, she'll no longer be a high school student. In September, she will be in NYU, hopefully. We'll see what happens. Allegedly. Allegedly. But today is her last day. Her last day in high school.
Starting point is 00:03:10 So they pushed the graduation back to June. She'll never forget these times because this is an unprecedented high school 2020, any type of graduating class. So that's something she'll remember and talk about in the future. That's right. It's got to suck, though, man. I'm telling you, during this whole pandemic, the thing that you feel bad about the most is the kids. The stuff that the kids are missing out on,
Starting point is 00:03:29 whether it's graduation, their last days as a senior, whether it's cheerleading competitions, whether it's prom, like all of that, those little things that you talk about 20 years from now, it seems like they're missing out on as kids. That's the worst part about it. Yeah, she missed her prom this year. She missed graduation. They pushed her back to June 24th. I don't know if that's going to happen in June, but we'll see.
Starting point is 00:03:48 But it sucks. It really, really sucks for her. This is supposed to be her last summer. You know, this is where she's supposed to hang out with her girls and they're supposed to be doing cool things all summer, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. But, you know, this is her last day. She's excited. No more classes. No more
Starting point is 00:04:03 high school classes. It sucks to end out on a virtual class, which sucks. She won't be able to be around her friends, none of the balloon stuff that we did as high school students. But, you know, hey, it's the new way of the world, I guess, right? Yeah, and at least our family is safe and healthy. That's probably the number one thing. You got to adjust. I mean, it's actually a good life lesson for all kids too, though.
Starting point is 00:04:25 It's just about learning how to adjust, learning how to pivot. You know, sometimes your good plan may not be God's plans for you and you got to roll with it. Yeah, and today
Starting point is 00:04:35 is also the second day I woke up and my son is downstairs on the couch sleeping because there was a spider in his room two days ago and he refuses to go back in his room.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And I'm like, bro, you're 5'10". You lift weights and run every day. You're more buff than half the people I know. But he's like, I don't mess with spiders, pops. I ain't going back in the room. So he's been sleeping on the couch. I could see if it was a mouse. I wouldn't go back in there.
Starting point is 00:04:58 A spider, I could kill. He ain't messing with no spiders. He might have arachnophobia. He ain't messing with no spiders. He's like, nah,ophobia. I don't know. He ain't messing with no spiders. He's like, nah, I'm not going out. Tell me. Hmm? He could turn into Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah, right. Yeah, right. How does he act when he sees spiders on TV? That'll tell you the true tale. You know what I mean? My wife has arachnophobia. She can't even watch a spider on TV. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:05:21 So I've been messing with him. I'm making him do all types of chores. I need you to take this out. Want me to go kill that spider? Alright, Dad. He's been doing everything around the house for me to go kill that spider. I think I got another day from doing that and then I got to go out there and really go get that spider. It's one spider. How am I going to find a spider in the room?
Starting point is 00:05:38 It's not like it's a big spider. It's a little spider. That's not going to work. No. What eats spiders? I'm trying to think what eats spiders. That's not going to work. No. What eats spiders? I'm trying to think what eats spiders. There's something that eats spiders. But I think that might be worse to put in your house.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah. It's not a snake. Nah. I'll pass on the snakes. Frogs? I think it's a frog. Frogs eat spiders? Something eats spiders.
Starting point is 00:05:58 All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Kelly Rowland will be joining us this morning. The Godiva Chocolate Goddess. I guess you can call it now the Godiva Chocolate Coffee Goddess. There you go. She'll be joining us this morning. She got a new single, Coffee, that's out right now.
Starting point is 00:06:12 She has a new project, so we'll talk to her about everything that's going on. We need to play her record, too. I don't know why people are not playing that Kelly Rowland record on the radio. That's a dope record. And the video is dope, too. I know why. Because she's independent. Because she's not on the label? She's not on the label. She's a dope record. And the video is dope too. Why? Because she's independent.
Starting point is 00:06:26 She's not on a label. She has to do the work herself. She has no pushing the record. There's no I Heart's thing in this package. None of that. We're going to support Kelly Rowland. We're going to help Kelly Rowland out. She's a friend to the room. We'll help her out. We got front page news coming up.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yes. You know what I want to tell you guys about the first two people charged with defrauding the Paycheck Protection Program. They are the first people in the nation to be charged with this. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. That was Future. Now, Future released a new project today, right? Did any of y'all hear it? Not yet. No, not yet.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Not yet. I'll vibe to it in the gym later. Alright, well let's get in some front page news. Where we starting? Well, two New England restaurateurs have been charged with defrauding the Paycheck Protection Plan. They are the first in the nation to be charged and
Starting point is 00:07:20 I'll tell you how they did it. Stavely is the first guy's name. David Stavely from Andover, Massachusetts. And the second person is David Butziger of Warwick, Rhode Island. They both were arrested on May 6th for allegedly attempting to defraud the program. They both sought nearly $500,000 to pay dozens of employees at three restaurants, one in Massachusetts, the other two in Rhode Island. But federal authorities say that Stavely does not even have an ownership stake in one of the restaurants listed on the
Starting point is 00:07:48 application. And the two additional restaurants on the tracks in Berlin, Massachusetts, and the former Remington Hotel in Warwick, Rhode Island, have not been in operation since before the pandemic even happened. One of them not even since 2018. So they were trying to do some...
Starting point is 00:08:04 I thought Dude From Loving Hip Hop was the first person to get arrested. Well, I don't know if he's been charged. Arkansas Moe. I don't know if he's... This was on the 6th that this happened. Yeah, May 6th. So today's the 15th, so maybe this was before him.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Maybe he hasn't been charged yet. I don't know, but these two people are the first two in the nation. Yeah, he got arrested and bailed out. Man, they should be arrested, man. These people doing that don't have a business and there's a lot of people with small businesses that are losing and taking a beating
Starting point is 00:08:36 and those people need help and they need help desperately and they're going to continue to need help. So, you got to help the people that need help. They also have very incriminating emails that they were doing back and forth so that'll do it all right now i know i know the people who actually have small businesses and really need that money i know they're wondering well how what are they doing that they're getting through so easy and getting their ppp approved but i can't all right now joe biden says that anybody who
Starting point is 00:09:02 believes tara reed should not vote for him now when, when he was being questioned on MSNBC about whether or not he even remembered Tara Reid, here's what he told Lawrence O'Donnell. Do you remember Tara Reid, who worked there for about around a year in 1992, 93? Well, to be honest with you, I don't. But look, let me get something clear. When a woman makes a claim that she has been harassed or abused, and this claim has changed as it's gone on, but harassed or abused, she should be taken seriously. She should come forward, share her story. She should be taken seriously. And it should be thoroughly vetted. And in every case, what matters is the truth.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And the truth of the case is nothing like this ever ever happened that's a trick question for joe biden though like seriously what does joe biden what does joe biden remember the man loses his train of thought in the middle of a sentence okay the only thing it seems joe biden remembers is working for president obama that's a hard it wasn't it wasn't 1993 yes so that would have been 27 years ago so uh here's what else he has to say about whether or not you believe Tara Reade. Well, I think they should vote their heart. And if they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn't vote for me. I wouldn't vote for me if I believed Tara Reade.
Starting point is 00:10:14 The fact is that look at Tara Reade's story. It changes considerably. And so, but I don't want to question her motive. I don't want to question anything other than to say the truth matters. I mean, listen to all women believe all proof. That's all you can do in those situations. And he's right. If you, you know, if you believe her, don't vote for him.
Starting point is 00:10:36 It's not complicated, people. It's just that simple. I actually like that answer a lot. I think that's a very honest answer. If you believe Harry, don't vote for Joe Biden. Simple as that. I'm shocked you said that. I'm that's a very honest answer. If you believe Harry, don't vote for Joe Biden. Simple as that. I'm shocked you said that, to be honest with you. I'm Angela Yee, and that is
Starting point is 00:10:50 your Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning. Maybe you're planning something this weekend. Maybe this is your last day of school, and you're upset you can't graduate. You can't walk today. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Maybe you're planning something this weekend. Maybe this is your last day of school and you're upset you can't graduate. You can't walk today.
Starting point is 00:11:06 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I'm calling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yolanda.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Hey, good morning. Get it off your chest, mama. Good morning. My name's Yolanda, and I'm from Miami, Florida. And I'm supposed to graduate with my bachelor's from FAU, Florida Atlantic University. But because of coronavirus, I'm able to. They did a little ceremony for us online, but I'm mad because it took me a while.
Starting point is 00:11:47 It took me three kids later, a marriage later, a business later to graduate, and I was eager to walk this year. Right. So I'm upset because of that. Are you doing anything at all? At home, no, because I do have my own business. I do seafood. So we've
Starting point is 00:12:03 been, like all my customers, they've been telling me congratulations and dropping off gifts to me. My husband, he works, so he's a baker, so he's unable to, we don't have the time to actually do something amongst us. But I'm just eager. I'm just waiting for next year. And then, not next year. They said they're going to do something for us later on, but I'm not trying to walk with another class. I want us to have our own class. I think we need to have our own Corona graduation and make it the best of the best.
Starting point is 00:12:32 My daughter, they moved it to June 24th and she feels the same way. She feels like, Dad, I had A's the whole time. I worked hard. I should be able to walk. I should be able to have these pictures, but it's one of those things. There's nothing you can do, you know? Yeah, it's very stupid.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And my son, he's four. He just graduated VPK. And I'm like, I just paid for his graduation ceremony. But unfortunately, he can't walk. I'm like, he's going to kindergarten. I'm like, wow. So now I have that. And then my two-year-old, he's in school.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Then my daughter, she's going to eighth grade. She can't have her ceremony either. And I was like, ah. Yeah, it makes no sense that restaurants, beaches, malls, nail salons, all of that stuff open, but they can't figure out a way to do a social graduation. Yeah, I'm with you. They got the beaches open, bro. It makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:13:20 They got the malls open at some places. That's crazy. What do you mean? I just seen last night when I went to my husband's job, I seen a little club open. I'm like, listen, Miami need to shut down 100%. They playing with their lives. Well, the funny part is I was reading an article yesterday that said cases in Florida have actually declined
Starting point is 00:13:38 since they've been opening everything up. Right. They're like, even with all of that, they said they don't even know why. Yeah, Florida and Georgia, cases continue to decline. They're not telling the truth. They ain't got no reason to lie. By the way, we should hope for the best. To decline, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Right. You know what I'm saying? I hope for the best, but unfortunately, I don't know about that. All right. Well, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? Envy, this is Fred.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Fred, what's up, Fred? Get it off your chest, brother. Why you sound like that, Fred? Oh, man, I'm just not getting up. Anyways, my whole thing is, I don't understand how everybody's giving Boosie all this backlash, and they're giving Dwyane Wade the utmost respect. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:14:27 What does that have to do with anything? I don't understand the two. They're two completely different things. We're talking about grown women having sex with children. But it's two things. First, Dwyane Wade, he's allowing his son to make that whole choice on becoming a whole gender. Trying to become a whole different gender. This has nothing to do with whole choice on becoming a whole gender. Trying to become a whole different gender.
Starting point is 00:14:48 This has nothing to do with having sex. It's not illegal. But, okay, it might not be illegal. But we still don't even know how that conversation went with Boosie and his son and nephew. And we see from Boosie's lies that Boosie be on tip. But, sir, it is illegal for a grown person to have sex with a 12 or 13 year old. That is an awful thing to do. Wouldn't you feel disgusted if somebody had sex with
Starting point is 00:15:11 a 12 year old? Well, two things here. Two things, Fred. Boosie said, yesterday, Boosie said he was playing. He said he was just trolling. Right? That's number one. And number two, you just woke up, bro. I think you should lay back down. Think about what you said. Pat number two, you just woke up, bro. I think you should lay back down, pat your pillow, put your covers up to your neck, and wake up and try this again.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That's all. Just wake up in about an hour and try this again. Will you have a good morning? Have a good morning. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Good morning. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Hey, hello.

You're addressing yourself as an essential worker now? Well, it. Peace and blessings. Sean Stone. Good morning, bro. Sean Stone. That's your new handle? You're addressing yourself as an essential worker now? Charlemagne, that's what I do.
Starting point is 00:16:10 That's my job, sir. I drive a sanitation truck. Yeah, sanitation is definitely essential workers. I respect it. He never want me to shine. What's up with you? I just said I respect it. If you want to hear negativity your whole life, then be a pessimist your whole life. I just said I respect it. If you want to hear negativity your whole life, then be a pessimist your whole life.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I just said I respect it. But you always know the type of job that I do, man. You know what I mean? That's not what I said. I said that you're addressing yourself as an essential worker now. Yes, I am. I am. Okay, so congratulations.
Starting point is 00:16:38 You're recognizing me like that. But anyway, listen. I got a beautiful friend, a female friend. She lives in Pittsburgh. You know what I mean? And she should have been walking along the stage today for graduation. But she's not, so she's a little bit sad. So I just wanted to call up the Breakfast Club and, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:57 ask if you guys have any encouraging words, you know, for the sister named Britt in Pittsburgh. You know, she's a good sister, man. You didn't charge her for this. You didn't charge her for this, right? Oh, no. Why would I do that? Just making sure didn't charge her for this, right? No, no. Why would I do that? Just making sure. I've been listening to Breakfast Club for nine years.

Do you have any encouraging words for the Barrow of Brits in Pittsburgh That should have been walking across the stage today? No, I mean my encouraging words

Starting point is 00:24:05 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk The Last Dance. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the finale for The Last Dance is on Sunday. You'll be watching episodes 9 and 10.
Starting point is 00:24:24 But ESPN is doing an after show that's going to air on ABC next Tuesday. And that is going to be starring Stephen A. Smith. He'll be hosting the hour-long special and he'll be joined by Magic Johnson and other surprise guests. And they'll be talking about what they thought of the 10-part series.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And then the SportsCenter special will air at 8 p.m. So, yes. I have no idea, definitely making sure they keep on doing more stuff since The Last Dance was so successful. And not only that, they have nothing else to talk about
Starting point is 00:24:52 on ESPN for The Last Dance. That's the reason they moved it up from June to now because literally they have been stretching and squeezing all the juice they can out of any Michael Jordan-related story. I saw a story yesterday that said,
Starting point is 00:25:05 could Patrick Mahomes be the Michael Jordan of the NFL? I'm like, what? But that's just because they have nothing else to talk about. They do a good job at it, though. I swear First Take does a good job about talking about nothing. But yeah, they need that. Well, the last dance was the highest ratings ever when it premiered last month for an ESPN documentary with more than 6 million people watching on ESPN and ESPN2.
Starting point is 00:25:30 All right. Other things that you can be watching this weekend. TBS is airing the best of Frank Costanza from Seinfeld Marathon in honor of Jerry Stiller, who passed away. So they're going to have a whole schedule of episodes that you can watch that That is the best of Frank Costanza for all you Seinfeld fans. Now, shout out to E40. He's been doing something really positive. Now he said he decided that he needed to do something for the community. He says that there's no way inmates can implement social distancing within the confines of prison
Starting point is 00:25:59 walls. So now he's providing hand sanitizer for California prisoners and the government, local government officials are applauding him for that. He said people who were sentenced to prison time weren't sentenced to death by COVID-19. So now he's donating 1000 gallons of hand sanitizer to different prisons in California. Drop on a Clues Bomb to E40, man. LL Cool J is going to be contributing to Swizz Beatz's idea. I remember Swizz wanted to do this Hip Hop Founders Fund. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And so he's been discussing this. He's been kind of throwing around the idea of contributing a million dollars to hip hop founders like Cool Herc and Sugar Hill Gang. And he talked about all of this. Well, now LL is saying that he would be on board with something like that. He said, I'm so on board in the helm of this ish lane with you. It's that vibe. It's about paying it forward.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I learned early on in my career, it was about me, but you get humbled and you realize there's a bigger world out there than you. All right. And shout out to Action Bronson. He lost 50 pounds. And to celebrate that, he did an interview with TMZ with no shirt on.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And he said that since the quarantine went into effect, he's lost that weight. Here's what he had to say. I lost 50 pounds just now. Yeah, I just, I mean, I'm still fat, which shows you I still need to lose 50. I mean, I've been working out. I've been working out crazy. I've been eating really good. I've been juicing.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You know, I have a nice little balcony that I have. I, you know, it's a deck. It runs parallel with my apartment. So it's a nice size. I've been juicing. You know, I have a nice little balcony that I have. It's a deck. It runs parallel with my apartment, so it's a nice size. I run there. I do my push-ups. I do a lot of cardio work. Congratulations to Action Johnson. That is great.
Starting point is 00:27:35 You keep losing 50 pounds, you know, a few more times, you won't be fat anymore. And the fact that he's doing it during the quarantine is even better because it's more difficult when you have nothing but food and nothing to do all day. That's great. Actually, it's not, you know, at the beginning of the quarantine.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I got up to 198. I'm at like 175 now. You actually can be more disciplined because you're home. So you're not running around. You can actually, you know, meal plan a lot better. You know what I mean? And you can get the proper amount of rest. Like, it's actually a little easier.
Starting point is 00:28:08 It's a lot easier, to be honest with you. It's harder when you're trying to diet. It's harder when you're trying to diet and you're out in the streets and you're running around and you got to go to meetings and meetings and you got to be places. Like, you know, when you want to go, that's when you grab something quick. My daughter be like, Dad, I'm eating French toast. And then you make her something that you just got to have a little piece for yourself.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Then there's all these candies and cakes and all these fruit and all this stuff. Do three egg whites. Make a protein shake in the morning. That's all. I tell my parents, they actually came by yesterday and they always drop off all this junk. I was like, please stop dropping things off here. If you want to come by and bring me like a couple of things, cause they go see my brother and then they visit me and they drop stuff off.
Starting point is 00:28:52 It's hard when things are in your house. I said, they drop stuff off. It's hard when there's things in your house and it's just sitting there and you're like, Hmm, let me just grab some Ritz crackers. I never really eat Ritz crackers, but they bought me a huge thing of Ritz crackers. And so now if I get a little bit hungry, it's just easy. And I'm like, damn, I shouldn't even have these in the house. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes. And we'll be talking about what's going on with this coronavirus, all of these updates with this testing. Is the testing any good?
Starting point is 00:29:26 And we'll talk about somebody who actually went and did the vaccine trial and what his experience was like. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:29:39 We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Major League Baseball. They are making plans to play in empty ballparks, according to the commissioner, Rob Manfred. Here's what he had to say about them being hopeful. I think it's hopeful that we will have some Major League Baseball this summer. We are making plans about playing in empty stadiums, but all of those plans are dependent
Starting point is 00:30:08 on what the public health situation is and us reaching the conclusion that it'll be safe for our players and other employees to come back to work. We have developed extensive protocols. A key to those is frequent testing. All of our players would be tested multiple times a week. So have graduations on a baseball field. Baseball fields are huge. Everybody can spread
Starting point is 00:30:35 out the way they spread out on a baseball field. Let them kids do their little dance to some pomp and circumstance on a baseball field. Yeah, or like you said, every school has a football. Most of the schools have a football arena where they can, you know, do it in a football arena, right? Do it in their football. This isn't starting now, guys.
Starting point is 00:30:51 This is also not going to be starting until like the middle of June. That's like less than 30 days. That's 30 days from now. But I thought you said that your daughter's stuff was pushed back like a month. Right, but it's not guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:31:04 They should be able to do it now. There's no difference. They should be able to do it now there's no difference this isn't guaranteed yet either they're hopeful like i said and another thing that the commissioner rob manfreds had to say was this is all about health protocol they cover everything from how the players will travel private charters how those charters have to be cleaned, who has access to the ballpark, strict limits on number of people, tiering of employees. So even those people who are in the ballpark will be isolated in general from the players. So we'll hope that we'll be able to convince them that it's safe. At the end of the day, however, if there's, you know, players with either health conditions or just their own personal doubts, we would never force them or try to force them to come back to work.
Starting point is 00:31:52 All right. So everybody will be getting tested. It'll be empty ballparks and we'll see what happens. Again, this is not anything that is set in stone yet. This is what they're hopeful could possibly happen. Now let's discuss a vaccine trial. A participant in a coronavirus vaccine trial has shared what his experience was like. Nell Browning is his name and he said he saw all the pain that the world is suffering from and he felt that he did need to act. Here's what he had to say. This first phase of the study, there was 45 people broken up into three groups of 15 where my initial group received a very small 25 microgram dose of the vaccine. After two weeks and we showed no signs of any untowards behavior from the vaccination, the second group which got four times that at 100 micrograms was introduced
Starting point is 00:32:38 to their dose of the vaccine. Another two-week pause to make sure that no ill effects were felt by that group and then the final group of 15 which got 10 times my original dose of 250 micrograms got their doses uh in the interim between that we all get blood tests to make sure that we're doing okay now do they get paid for this like why would they want to be human guinea pigs well i don't know we need somebody to do it Maybe it's for the We need it So the pain that the world is suffering from So he volunteered to do that
Starting point is 00:33:10 And he said in order to get selected That they run through your entire medical background You do interviews They draw your blood to make sure you're as healthy as possible Why not go get some of these people That are in jail forever You know what I mean? These people that have committed these heinous crimes.
Starting point is 00:33:30 But that's my point. You go to the prisons and you talk to these people who have committed these heinous crimes and who may want to be doing something to get right with God, right? Because you said they're doing it because they're seeing all the pain the world is in. Talk to them first. Why would you just go to the civilians that's out here on the street? These people volunteered. He said he had to throw his name into a hat
Starting point is 00:33:50 and then he was contacted by the research office. They don't even choose everyone to volunteer, so I don't think that there's a lack of people volunteering. Yeah, I would love to know what your life is like that you would like to volunteer for this. I would love to know. And they said Mall of America is opening up June 1st.
Starting point is 00:34:07 See what I'm saying? God damn, that's in Jersey. No, Mall of America is in Minnesota. In Minnesota? It's the biggest mall in the U.S., I believe. It's opening up. It's social distance there. June 1st.
Starting point is 00:34:17 They do have a Mall of America in Jersey, though. But my thing is, like, if you could do all that, you could do graduations. But back to these people. Would you be a guinea pig at a time like this? Nope. Me neither. Nope.
Starting point is 00:34:28 But I'm with you. If I was in jail, like, say, serving life, and I said, okay, I'll be a guinea pig. But after this is over, you got to free me, though. Or something. I don't know. I would do it. But not now. I ain't doing it now.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Uh-uh. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Kelly Rowland will be joining us. We'll kick it with Kelly Rowland. The good diet with chocolate coffee goddess.
Starting point is 00:34:54 She has a new single called Coffee. We'll get that on this morning as well. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:35:07 We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now. Kelly Rowland. The Godiva chocolate coffee goddess. What's up? How are you? Good morning. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Good morning. We're in the face of a pandemic. Uh-huh. You've been looking amazing and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you. The first two, three weeks in quarantine, I was learning how to cook. And Titan was baking cookies and brownies and stuff every day. I was like, I can't be doing this every day.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I got caught up. I almost got that quarantine 15 and I had to get my life free. How much did you gain? I gained 20 but I lost it though. How much did you gain? I gained at least almost 10 because he
Starting point is 00:35:58 was, I'm telling you, he was baking cookies. I had a friend of mine who barbecued and I love barbecue. So she kept bringing barbecue over here because it was like a comfort food. You know, in a time where it's so much uncertainty, you want some comfort food. That's exactly what I was doing. And we started making pasta. I learned how to make pasta.
Starting point is 00:36:13 I was like, oh, I got this down. So I made it every other night. Uh-uh. You ain't going to have me. So what's your specialty in the kitchen? Right now, it is the pasta. I've got the pasta down. I made trout and salad.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And I just learned how to make oxtails. Really? Really? Yes, yes. A Jamaican homie showed me how to do it. So I got it. So now we know why the bikini pic came
Starting point is 00:36:46 because you had lost them 15 and you was feeling good about yourself. That's where that came from. She said she gained 10, Charlamagne, 10. Yeah, I gained 10. Now, how's the baby doing?
Starting point is 00:36:57 How is the baby now? Because baby's what, five, six years old now? Right now, no baby. That's not a baby. Mine is still, I still call my babies, I got a six, five, and a now, no baby. Five, six years old. That's not a baby. Mine is still cool. My baby's mine.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I got a six, five, and a three. They're my babies, but go ahead. No, but Indy, he's not a baby no more. The way he talks to me. Titan is watching documentaries. Like, he is just his own little person, and it's the coolest thing to watch. And I'm just, I'm mad I didn't go back to back like you told me. I told you, back to back.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Have another one. Have another one. I'm mad I didn't go back to back like you told me. I told you, back to back. Have another one, have another one. I'm mad I didn't go back to back. They keep each other company. They in there with each other. They play all day. They only come to me when they got to eat and when they got to go to the bathroom. Other than that, they don't bother me at all. They just do, well, they bother me in the morning sometimes.
Starting point is 00:37:40 But other than that, they good. Yo, that's the hard part is because like me and his dad are his playmates so it's like mommy can you play with me and it's the sweetest voice you can't be a jerk and say oh no or whatever like i have to like really like stop what i'm doing and have kind of like uh shifted my schedule to like around his or his wake-up time you know what i mean and we've quarantined, really tough with another family. So he has his best friend that comes over that's about it. You know, Kelly, I was watching you on Mother's Day,
Starting point is 00:38:12 and I was watching you post, like, all your friends and all of y'all have become mothers now. And I was like, how has motherhood changed the dynamic of your crew? We can just sit down somewhere drink wine and watch them play i mean it's i think it's it's really um i remember when i had titan and solange made this post it just made me boo cry because and i just thought like i actually looked over all those and i was crying that day too because it's really awesome to grow up with someone that you've been knowing since you were nine years old or younger I know for some folks
Starting point is 00:38:50 out there and y'all get to share life together that's really a blessing and I didn't take it for granted and whether it was women that I knew on my story or women that I didn't know I just wanted to post mothers like you know what I mean and what I mean? Some of them I've known for a long time and watched grow up. We've probably done some crazy shit together, but now it's just like we've grown. Motherhood is a blessing for sure. I saw you said that you and Tim do therapy all the time and make sure your relationship is good and strong. And maybe some role play in the bedroom. How is life at home with Tim right now?
Starting point is 00:39:27 Life at home with Tim right now is a lot of fun. Although Tim is really wrapped up in golf, this man literally like practices his swing all day. So this is like the backyard areas, like where he goes and has that little tent thing and practices playing. Does he have a simulator, one of them golf simulators? Does he have one of the golf simulators? Is that the computer thing?
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yeah, the computer thing. They hit it into the net? No. Perfect for Father's Day. Actually, I want to give him that for Father's Day. But he has a tent right now. But he has a tent, and he hits the golf balls in there, and he has the best time.
Starting point is 00:40:06 But that's when I'm getting on his nerve. I know when I'm getting on his nerve because he's like, and then walks to the golfing thing. So I'm like, let me see my ass down somewhere. Is he having a lot of coffee in the morning? Oh, I try to make that happen, yes. It's often the time. I saw the coffee video, Kelly, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:28 I'm thinking about the bikini pic you posted, and it just feels like you got a different level of freedom nowadays. Why are you feeling so liberated nowadays? You know what? It's not even necessarily, like, something about freedom. It's more so, so like wanting to have this moment. Like my favorite shot of the video is where you see
Starting point is 00:40:49 all of the women together in different bodies. All that melanin. Oh my God. Like honestly, when we were in the editing bay and we're looking at it, I remember the director did not put that shot of me. I just looked at him like he was crazy. I said, you lost your mind. He was like,, this is awful because he's such a perfectionist.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I love Steven. But he had another shot, and I was like, put this one in there. And when it came up on screen, everybody around us got chills. So I was like, no, this is what we should have. It was a celebration of black women. It was a celebration of brown and black girls. And it's important that we always see each other on screen. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:31 And we're praising each other in our different tones, like I said, and textures and body types. Like, that has to. And it's almost like it's like a, I didn't need your permission to do this. I just wanted to do it. You know? I feel like sometimes, you know, I grew up in these, like, where I remember looking at the cover of a magazine that said, this is Dinky.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And I was like, my face ain't on there. You know, a body type ain't on there. But, like, it was just one specific body type on there, and I'm just like, this is so wrong. And I'll never forget that feeling, and I just wanted us to be and feel seen and heard. So, that's what that was for.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Hi, we got more with Kelly Rowland when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

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

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose
Starting point is 00:45:06 with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kelly Rowland. Yee. Now, Kelly, I wanted to talk
Starting point is 00:45:22 to you about this because I spoke about this in an interview that I did, and I was disappointed that I saw when you and Lala and Gabrielle Union were on live and discussing things like your favorite position, and people were in the comments like, oh, I'm disappointed that they're discussing these things, and I was like, what is the big deal? I couldn't understand why people think a conversation like that is so taboo in this day and age. I think, honestly, you know, you have some people that want to keep that, you know, quiet. And I respect that. That's totally there.
Starting point is 00:45:53 No feeling on it. I really don't care. You know, I think I definitely used to be that food until, like, the reason why I started the whole coffee with Kelly in the first place is because every day we would get this crazy download of so much COVID-19 information, and it was causing oh so much anxiety for me. And so I had this text chain with some of my buddies, and so I asked them what a specific, I asked them about a specific, I think,
Starting point is 00:46:17 vibrator or something like that was, and they just hollered laughing, like, one at a time, like, just saying all these different memes and gifs and stuff. And so we continued this conversation for, like, another two hours about different ones and all these different things. And I just noticed, like, sex always makes people, like, laugh and giddy and, you know what I mean? It's just having fun. And that's literally all it is.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And one thing that I love about La and Gabrielle, I mean, is the fact that, like, we don't mind talking about that kind of stuff. And it's fun talk. It's girl talk. And it's also healthy. Because, you know, if you're talking to people who are on there and they don't know anything or they're learning about it, you know, like we had this one girl come in and she was a virgin. I was so – did you see that, Angela? Yes. So you have moments like that where people are coming in Because they have questions And if they do have questions
Starting point is 00:47:06 Like you help them answer it As much as you can I'm no sex therapist By no means Right But I can tell you about Like my experience And help you do it
Starting point is 00:47:13 Or talk you through it And I think that it Helps you too Okay I like that you're doing The coffee with I like that a lot Like I think it's dope
Starting point is 00:47:20 Because I do feel like That was a side of you That we didn't see as much We might hear it in the music But not actually hear you Talk about it So I enjoy it And I appreciate it And I think it's dope because I do feel like that was a side of you that we didn't see as much. We might hear it in the music, but not actually hear you talk about it. So I enjoy it and I appreciate it. And I think it's fun. Thank you. Thank you. Have
Starting point is 00:47:31 a good time, baby. Why did you bring the vibrator conversation to the group chat, though? Were you recommending one or asking for one? Like, what was that? Yes. No, I was asking. Well, because one of them is like a specialist. Okay. Okay. She knows about, one one of them is like a specialist. Okay. She knows about, one of my girlfriends knows all about them.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And she's just like, no, and this is what you do, but don't press this button three times because if you do, like she's like so detailed about it, but I love her for that. Yeah. I've heard people say that if you use a vibrator too much, it can numb you so that you lose feeling. And I've heard that happen to some people. If you use it constantly, so for people
Starting point is 00:48:07 who are isolated right now using that vibrator multiple times a day, just be careful with that so your senses don't go away. Just tell them not to put it on the highest mode. You might start shaking. You sound like an expert over there. Don't put it on the highest mode.
Starting point is 00:48:23 She knows a lot. You know what else was the conversation? Is missionary boring? Is that a boring? I don't think it's boring. Who was it? Was it Lala that said that missionary was a boring person? I can't remember. One of you said that.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Yes. Don't get me on Lala. Lala's like, are you a church girl? And I was like, a what? So, you know, she's bugging. Now, when did you record Coffee? Did you record Coffee a couple years ago, or is that something that you recorded recently?
Starting point is 00:48:59 No, I recorded Coffee in 2017. So what took so long? I see that. Because you know I'm crazy. You know I'm crazy. You know, I got probably like at least three albums in there, but I am done. I am done. I have like one more record
Starting point is 00:49:14 that I need to record, but I'm done. Why do you do so many songs and don't put them out? Because you have been doing that for a long time, recording and not putting them out. I overthink things a lot. And the good thing is that when I, I just, I don't know why I do that, but I'm not doing it anymore.
Starting point is 00:49:29 And I'm finally about to release like music, just period. Because it just, I don't know. I think that sometimes I get kind of caught in the old world, you know, of the music business. And the new world is just like, no, just keep pumping out music as much as you can.
Starting point is 00:49:43 So I have to get out of that dinosaur 1997, you know, you know. Where you like have to set it up and set up the release and have all these things in place. That's not real. That's not real no more. And what does putting out music consistently look like to Kelly Rowland? I mean, I think at least you should be dropping music every quarter. You know what I mean? Every quarter or like now, like I'm
Starting point is 00:50:10 going to release something new soon. So it's just like I think a song a month maybe. A song a month sounds about right to me. See, I was thinking that you were just busy like producing shows, starring on TV. Like,
Starting point is 00:50:25 I thought maybe you just didn't have a chance to sit down and say, okay, I'm focused on this now. No, I'm crazy. Y'all know me? Now, have you been watching the Versus Battle? I did. I watched a little bit of, actually, I watched Jill's and Erica's.
Starting point is 00:50:44 I watched Kenny's and, I mean, Babyface and Teddy. Teddy Riley. The moments that I could. Yes. That was tough. I mean, you just think about, like, that era of music and just how rich it is. And I love the idea that they're just, like, refreshing, like, all of these catalogs, you know, for these artists. And it's just beautiful.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I love it. You see your guy this week, though. Your guy is this Saturday. That's a dilemma for you, Kelly. Nelly versus Ludacris. Who's going to win? Nelly and Ludacris. Nelly versus Ludacris.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, this is a good one. Okay, now what do y'all think is going to happen with this one? No, we asking you first. We asking you first. She's got to throw the question to us. I don't know because both of those are my boys. I don't know. As an artist.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's a celebration, though. It's more of a celebration of the music. Not with the guys. Not with the guys. In your head. Yeah, you're right. They do make it competitive. But no matter what, I think what it is,
Starting point is 00:51:43 it's friendly, though, between the artists, too, because these are people that respect each other or they wouldn't even do it with each other. True. That's true. As an artist, do you tune in? Would you tune into that just to see what the reaction to the records you're featured on would be? No. No.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Really? We proved it. Honestly, we proved ourselves. You know, and it's nothing, it's really nothing else to prove. I mean, that record was like my coming out, like, record from, you know, D.C. That was the first record I had on my own away from the girls. And it was, what, 11, 12 weeks at number one.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And that was a good feeling. You know what I mean? So I'm proud of that record, period. Are you and the girls going on tour after this? We've heard rumors that Destiny's Child might be going on tour. That's what I heard. I said, after the pandemic is over, was that ever on the plan? Anything that y'all thought of possibly going on tour?
Starting point is 00:52:37 I think y'all would know that first. We haven't talked about it. We've literally been in pandemic. That's a good time to talk about it. Y'all ain't doing nothing. No one. No, it is. But no, no.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I mean, but we haven't talked about it. We really, really haven't. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Kelly Rowland when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:53:00 We still kicking it with Kelly Rowland. Charlamagne? Kelly, how do you know when a pick is not a thirst trap? Because you said the bikini pick wasn't a thirst trap. How do you know when it's not? Oh, y'all know. That was a play on words, Charlamagne. Damn. Got you. Okay. As you take a drink
Starting point is 00:53:15 of water. Okay. Exactly. It did its job because I saw Rick Ross jump in the comments. What did Rick Ross say? He said, you got a bright future. That's what he said. What? Did he say that for real?
Starting point is 00:53:29 Yes. No, Tim posted, he said, every night I got to prove my love. Do you remember that line from, oh, my God. Was it the five heartbeats? Was it the five heartbeats? Every night I got to prove my love. I was like, boy, please. So he didn't know you were going to post that before you posted it?
Starting point is 00:53:53 Or did you be like, I'm about to post this? I'm going to tell him. So what did he say? And how does he feel when all these guys are making these comments like Ross and all? What is that conversation like? That little glitter, like every night I got to prove my love. That's real. when all these guys are making these comments like Ross and all of them, what is that conversation like? That's real. That's real.
Starting point is 00:54:12 That's why he got to go out there with them golf clubs. He mad as hell. He's stressed out. Then he come back in like, okay, I'll figure it out. What if he blocked you from that? No, no, no. I ain't going nowhere. Tim is my bestest friend. Charlene ain't seen us together.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Y'all have seen us together. Yeah, I seen you guys in Houston in the club. What if he posted a thirst trap? Tim would never do that. What if he put on some gray sweatpants, no shirt? You know, the gray sweatpants pictures that guys do. Oh, the gray sweatpants shirt? I don't think I would care.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Don't give them no ideas now. Yeah, don't give them no ideas. What if he created an OnlyFans account? What if he created an OnlyFans account? Wait, wait, wait. Hey, Tim. You going to put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture? He said, what?
Starting point is 00:55:04 You going to put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture? He said, what? You going to put on some gray sweatpants and post a picture? He said, I ain't thirst tripping like you. When the album dropping, Kelly Kel. I don't know. But it is coming. 2020, this year. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Can I just say something here? I just say something. I'm paying for everything out of my pocket. Okay. I'm paying for everything out of my pocket. So I'm trying to be smart about everything. I've bought my songs, everything. But I'd like to do a video. When the hell am I going to do a video?
Starting point is 00:55:45 I don't know. Oh, wait a minute. You're'd like to do a video. When the hell am I going to do a video? I don't know. Oh, wait a minute. You're not on a label? No. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. You just went Rock Nation. Rock Nation is managing you still,
Starting point is 00:55:54 or partly managing? Because I know Hubby manages. Rock Nation is managing, yeah. So it's just like really, you know, tricky with us wanting to do videos, but it's definitely like, it ain't going to happen for a while. But you know, tricky with, you know, us wanting to do videos, but it's definitely like meh, it ain't gonna happen for a while. But you know what? I've
Starting point is 00:56:10 seen people do creative things right now, and as far as figuring out how to do a video, like G-Eazy had people send in different things, and he filmed his part, and you have so many people that you could get some really dope content from if you wanted to film something to figure it out. And I did have my assistant hit him.
Starting point is 00:56:26 So we'll see what happens with that. So we got to make sure. I love finding new things and giving people an opportunity. Sounds good. You think labels are dead, Kelly? I don't know if I would say labels are dead, but they scared of me because they know I'm expensive. I think that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Like, you know, they look at an artist like myself, and they're like, ooh, she's going to be glam. I think that's the thing. They look at artists like myself and they're like, ooh, she's gonna need glam. Ooh, she's gonna need this. Ooh, she's gonna need videos. I'm also a visual artist. I always say that damn Destiny's Child just set me up. You know what I mean? We had so many colorful videos and that was
Starting point is 00:56:59 a part of who we are. Now it's just different. I get it. But streaming is making money, so they can't use that as an excuse. And, you know, you have that other, which I hate to say, but it is true. You know, some artists have a different, I mean, some labels have a different perspective of artists after the age of 30, 35. So, and I remember hearing Pink talk about that very, very
Starting point is 00:57:25 candidly, and I was like, really? Is that the case? And I had another conversation with a friend of mine, and they're like, well, yeah, because you know, it's because it's like he was saying how you know, it's tough, whatever that means, but
Starting point is 00:57:41 yeah, it's interesting. It's very interesting, so I am expensive, but that means. But, yeah, it's interesting. It's very interesting. I am expensive, but I'll figure out my way in a budgetary manner. There you go. Ageism in the music industry is so whack, though, especially when it seems like a lot of artists are getting better with age in a lot of ways. Fact. Fact.
Starting point is 00:58:02 And you know what does give me, like, faith and hope are just other women that are coming up in, like, new era of music. Like, I think Lizzo is, what, 29, 30? That's 25. That's really good. You know what I mean? So usually it's just, like, they don't pay as much attention like when you're 30. So I'm just really happy that they're having that moment. Although I did have a moment where, you know, Sylvia Roan got me, I think, at 30.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And she still put the money in. So you have certain people out there who are still wanting to see women be great after the age of 25. That's crazy to me. Especially when all the older black women look way better than the young ones. They've learned how to take care of themselves. It's the truth, though. Yeah, I think that you do get better with age, and I think that you have artists that show us why it's so awesome.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You really do. And you do get better with age. It's a really great comment. Do you know what your next single is it so awesome? You really do. And you do get better with age. It's a really great comment. Do you know what your next single is going to be? Yeah. Is it a secret? She's like, I ain't telling you. We're working on coffee right now.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Don't worry about that now. I just want to know. I want to know what's the follow-up. I'd like to know what the plan is for you. Well, because, like, I don't want to say yet. I feel like my mouth has gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past. Really?
Starting point is 00:59:29 Yes, it's actually a quality I really appreciate about, like, Rihanna don't say nothing about nothing. She's like, oh yeah, I have a makeup line. It comes out in 24 hours. Like, that's just some smart testimony. I think I'm going to take that on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:45 We're not mad at that. Introduce a new record for the people. Introduce a new record for the people. One more thing. Have you seen that old Destiny's Child clip that's floating around the Internet and y'all just talking about all type of birds and s***? Were y'all high in that video? No, you know, good doggone well, we were not high. It sounded like y'all was high, though. No, you know, good doggone well, we were not high enough.
Starting point is 01:00:05 It sounded like y'all was high, though. No, no. That was the 13th hour of the day where I remember they put on our schedule, by the way, the reason why I feel like truly we were so successful internationally is because we put the work in over there. We'd be over there for like seven days in eight different countries, and
Starting point is 01:00:30 literally just like have interviews all day. And that was the 13th hour of wherever it was where this gentleman's accent was, because I don't remember, it was definitely a blur. And he was asking us all these questions. So, yeah, when you ask somebody what kind of animal you want to be all these questions. So, yeah, when you ask somebody, what kind of animal do you want to be?
Starting point is 01:00:46 I hope he ever... Like, you really keep doing this together. That's not happening, Mr. Black Panther. Like, we were delirious without our minds. So, no. I mean,
Starting point is 01:01:01 it would definitely probably sound cruel to say, yeah, man, we were, but we were not. Far from that. We were just delirious. I got you. All right. Well, let's introduce the record right now. Let's get it on.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Absolutely. This is Coffee by Me. All right. It's Kelly Rowland. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Coffee and sex in the morning. Listen up. It's just in. Oh, my gosh, former bodyguard, did a podcast, Hollywood Raw. He was a guest on that podcast, and he was talking about different people that he worked with, and his least favorite
Starting point is 01:01:44 person to work with was Kanye West. Here's what he had to say about the people that he worked with. And his least favorite person to work with was Kanye West. Here's what he had to say about the rules that he said were, quote, ridiculous and what Kanye would make him do. Kanye basically has some ridiculous rules. He wanted you to stay 10 paces behind him on a city street. So, again, obviously, if somebody's going to come up and, you know, do something to him, by the time I'd run up to try to prevent it, it would already have happened. He also said that Kim and Kanye would call the paparazzi on themselves. I think pretty much people know that. There's no way they know where you're going to be all the time.
Starting point is 01:02:15 So, I mean, Kanye told Kanye told y'all in the song, I'm about to call a paparazzi on myself, even though I do. I do think the Kardashians do that way more than Kanye does. I don't know if that's Kanye's actual bag, but the Kardashians definitely do it. I mean, the irony in it is to pretend that you hate the paparazzi and be mad when they ask you a question, but you called them to come.
Starting point is 01:02:37 He probably does. But I'm saying his family probably does it and he probably didn't get hip to that until later, later on in the situation. All right, now, Neo and Crystal Smith, it looks like they are back together. We've been seeing the two of them have been quarantined together with the kids, and Kendra G. spoke to Neo, and here's what he had to say after they had already been saying they were going to get divorced
Starting point is 01:03:00 and they kind of went back and forth publicly at each other, but it looks like this pandemic brought them back together if i gotta be inside i want to be inside with people that i know love me beyond the shadow of a doubt and that i love beyond the shadow of a doubt and regardless of what me and chris was going through at the time never did i ever say that i didn't love her i never had anything negative to say about her even if you listen to the pinky ring song it ain't a diss record i didn't say anything foul about her through the whole song. It was just a record about what I was going through
Starting point is 01:03:27 at the time and how I chose to deal with it, how I chose to view it, to face it, or whatever the case may be. So when I came home, I came home to the people that I love, and that's everybody that I love. That's my mother, my sister, my four children, and my wife.
Starting point is 01:03:39 So here we are. Hey, drop one of Clues Bombs with Kendra G, man. Kendra G been out here cooking during this quarantine. She the the little the singles thing going on instagram live she'd be getting great interviews she is hustling during this quarantine salute to kendra g yeah and she looks amazing while she was doing it so congratulations to her that's dope she's really out here working all right now let's talk about uh two nfl cornerbacks they're facing multiple charges after an incident that happened Wednesday night in South Florida. DeAndre Baker from the Giants and Quentin Dunbar from the Seattle Seahawks are facing four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.
Starting point is 01:04:14 And Baker is facing an additional four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. The two of them, the allegations are that they robbed guests at a party in Miramar, Florida, according to the Miramar Police Department. So I don't know exactly what happened with them, but according to TMZ, they were at a cookout. Strip, give me all your stuff, that type of lay down and give me your stuff? According to TMZ, they were at a cookout at a home in
Starting point is 01:04:38 the Miami area Wednesday night playing cards and video games and arguments started. That's when they alleged that Baker whipped out a semi-automatic firearm and then directed the two other individuals to start robbing the guests. They allegedly took thousands of dollars in cash, several watches, and other valuables from individuals at the party, and then threatened to shoot people before leaving the house.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Sheesh. Don't shoot me after you rob me, man. You got what you came for, okay? Don't be bitching and juice after you get what you need out Just take you. You got what you came for. OK, you know, don't be bitching and juice after you get what you need out the store. OK. All right. Now, Wendy Williams has some things to say about Future and Eliza Rain. As we've been telling you, Eliza Rain did have the DNA test done. It turns out Future is the father of her child. So they have eight. He has eight children now. He has eight baby moms. And here's what Wendy Williams had to say.
Starting point is 01:05:25 What do you say for yourself for a man who's 36 years old and now has eight children with eight baby moms? Huh? I say he's pathetic and so are you. If you dare lay down with this man, you think nothing of yourself. And I'm talking about Future. And yeah, they say he's worth $40 million. So what?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Future, you need to tie it in a knot and leave it alone. Although I guarantee you that between now and next year, he'll have two more kids. Damn. So he's going to have two kids by next year? What's so over and done on that, guys? Are you taking bets? I don't know. That'll be something good for ESPN to do since they ain't, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:12 talking about no sports right now. I wonder if he wants to have more kids. Well, a baby he just put out yesterday was his High Off Life album, and that's his eighth studio album also, by the way. Serious question. If you have more kids than albums? I'm asking seriously I really don't know, how many kids he got? eight, he got eight kids, eight albums so he might do that
Starting point is 01:06:34 on purpose, he might put out an album for every child, seriously I'm gonna be honest, I think it's eight kids but I'm not a thousand percent sure, I read different things on different places hey, that's impressive dropping the clues bombs for future for your but I'm not a thousand percent sure. I read different things on different places. Hey, that's impressive. Drop on the Clues bombs for future for your eighth album and your eighth child.
Starting point is 01:06:49 If that is true, that is very impressive. We haven't seen that in hip hop. All right. And we're going to have some from future later on this morning. But right now, let's get into this. Now, this is Joyner Lucas. You know, he did the Will song,
Starting point is 01:07:01 paying tribute to Will Smith. And Will Smith actually got on the remix. So that's a huge deal. And it was a dope video. I think it's amazing that the two of them did this together. So here is Will remix. It's Joyner Lucas featuring Will Smith. And we're going to get that on for you.
Starting point is 01:07:18 All right. Well, thank you for that rumor report. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving your donkey to, brother? Punk-ass pandemic prankers. Oh, pranksters. Okay. They need to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them. It's three of them.
Starting point is 01:07:30 We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey. Right now, you want some real donkeys. It's time for Donkey of the Day. If you ever feel I need to be a donkey, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey today? Please tell me. Did she get donkey in the name, please tell me?
Starting point is 01:07:46 I have become donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Friday, May 15th goes to a few punk-ass pandemic pranksters. COVID-19 clout chasers is what I call them. All of these individuals are the type you hope catch the virus while they are trying to go viral. Okay? Behind Donkey Dog number one, we have Amos Troublefield and Antonio Green,
Starting point is 01:08:10 both hailing from the beautiful state of Florida. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about Florida, huh? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. By the way, coronavirus cases in Florida have continued to decline despite businesses opening up. So clap for them
Starting point is 01:08:25 Gotta give credit when credit is due At least for now If they were one of the first states to be part of this social experiment And it's working, carry on Now our next contestant on the hee-haw is TikToker F. Jassy Come on down F. Jassy F. Jassy is from New York
Starting point is 01:08:41 I believe the Bronx, so that explains a lot So we have three individuals all receiving their credit, okay? All receiving the credit they deserve for being stupid. Why? Because they think it's a game out here. I am all for having a good time. I love to laugh. I love to joke, especially during a hard time.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Social media absolutely has been one of the outlets that takes our mind off of things during this COVID-19 crisis. But one thing that has been reconfirmed for me during this whole pandemic is that money is not the root of all evil. Attention is. Okay? This generation replaced the sea and cream with clout and never look back. Clout rules everything
Starting point is 01:09:15 around me and these digital D-heads will do anything for it. Okay? Case in point, Amos Troublefield and Antonio Green, both 18. Okay? Both young, so they can bounce back from this, but we still have to hold them accountable for being jackasses, okay? According to the NY Daily News, both these young men were arrested for shoplifting a $4.94 bottle of fabric spray. They also stand accused of disorderly conduct.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Why? Because according to a police report on the smoking gun, Amos and Antonio were walking around a Walmart in Florida, coughing and spraying Febreze on customers. They told police that they were just trying to be funny and make videos for YouTube. You two youngins were doing that in the great stand your ground state of Florida. You are lucky to be alive today because coughing on me or near me and then spraying Febreze on me during a time when Corona is showing y'all what going viral really looks like, that's assault. Period. Okay? And in a
Starting point is 01:10:13 stand-your-ground state like Florida, if you feel like you're being assaulted, well, meanwhile in New York, I believe this might be the Bronx. If it is, then it explains a lot, like I said. F. Jassy, he's a TikToker. Is that what they're called? They called TikTokers? Yeah, I guess a TikToker. Tics?
Starting point is 01:10:29 We call them Tics and Tocs? Tics? Tocs, maybe? TTs? They don't have a name for it? They don't have a name for what they do? I guess, I don't know. Well, he's a TikToker. Okay, but what they do is suck-ass pranks like he did, alright? I would rather just call him a Tic. That'll make me feel good because that's what
Starting point is 01:10:45 ticks do. They latch on to things and suck the blood out of them. Just blood sucking ticks. At a time when essential workers are showing America who the real heroes in this country are, at a time when we should be making essential workers' lives easier, this tick, F. Jassy, is making their life harder. Now, if you
Starting point is 01:11:02 are NNY, then you know they are trying to keep the trains clean because the trains are a petri dish of disease, viruses, germs. If it is one place coronavirus would spread, it would be on the trains in NYC. Well, listen to what FJC did. Let's go to News 12, the Bronx for the report, please. It shows him pouring a gallon of milk into a big plastic tub with fruity pebbles. And he just eats out of it sitting on the subway and then accidentally pours it onto the floor infuriating many essential workers. Popkin's TikTok account
Starting point is 01:11:31 has over three million followers and many on social media are calling the move selfish and privileged especially when the subway shuts down every night for sanitizing and of course others point to the wasting of food while many around the country spend hours waiting in line at grocery stores these days. The NYPD says they are looking into the matter. Coronavirus out here getting people sick. Coronavirus out here killing people. And you walking around with a tub of milk and fruity pebbles, spilling it all over the goddamn train because you want to go viral. The MTA released a statement about F. Jassy and they said a new low, pulling a prank on essential workers
Starting point is 01:12:06 in the middle of a global pandemic and making essential workers clean up your mess, despicable, end quote, I agree. All right, you're making it hard for the same folks who are making it somewhat safe for your punk pandemic pranking ass to even be outside. And this the mother effing thanks they get?
Starting point is 01:12:21 This F. Jassy kid also walked into a store wearing a surgical mask with a hole cut in it. So you want to put other people at risk and make essential workers' jobs more difficult when all of us should be helping each other help us? Not to mention all the homeless people in NYC who are probably in these streets starving. You know what they would have done
Starting point is 01:12:40 for a box of Fruity Pebbles? It's families right now who the head of the household has been laid off, and they are trying to figure out where their next bowl of cereal is coming from, and your privileged wannabe host of Punk'd Ass is ticking and talking, wasting what could be someone's only meal of the day all over the train? The privilege of it all pisses me off, man. You probably would have gotten more attention by handing out boxes of cereal
Starting point is 01:13:00 and milk to people who need it as opposed to spilling it all over the train. I would rather have 100, thousand views doing something positive than get a million views doing some BS. But I'm one of those old school cats who still believe in karma and, you know, giving out the kind of energy I want to receive back. So don't listen to me. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:16 But listen, what if y'all get sick? Antonio Green, Amos Troublefield, FJC. What if y'all get sick and have to go to the hospital And these essential workers Remember y'all names and faces What happens?
Starting point is 01:13:29 Number one, nobody will feel sorry for you Because you earned that virus You actually chased it and caught it Trying to go viral And number two, those essential workers They'll have way more empathy and compassion than y'all did Okay? They would still help y'all digital-minded dumbasses
Starting point is 01:13:43 Because that's what real ones do at a time like this. Sadly, we live in an era where we always have to help those who don't know better help themselves, okay? We the ones with a little common sense and compassion for what others are going through always have to clean up the best that the stupid ones make in this society. Case in point, the essential workers who had to clean up the fruity pebbles behind F. Jossie's wannabe viral ass.
Starting point is 01:14:05 OK, listen, take some Tocrus. Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much. All right. You want to know why the curve is flattening all over the country? You want to know why it's flattening in New York City? Because enough people have come together to take the proper precautions by social distancing, wearing masks, staying home, whatever we have to do. OK, and coming together is the beginning. by social distancing, wearing masks, staying home, whatever we have to do, okay? And coming together is the beginning, all right? Staying together is progress. We've done that for the past couple of months.
Starting point is 01:14:31 We've stayed together. We've stayed the course, and we are seeing positive results, all right? You know what you call that? Coming together and staying together? You know what that adds up to? Working together. And working together will always be a success. You three are working against us.
Starting point is 01:14:48 And by working against us, you're working against yourselves and the whole rest of the country. Do you really want to be enemies of the state? Takes and talks? Huh? Please give Antonio Green, Amos Green and F. Jassy the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:15:09 You are the donkey of the day. Also, why isn't F. Jossie in jail? Antonio and Amos went to jail. I know they went to jail for shoplifting a little bottle of Febreze, but shouldn't this be some sort of crime? I think maybe it should be a new law put on the books that if you are, you know, causing essential workers any harm during a time like this, or you're making their lives difficult during a time like this,
Starting point is 01:15:41 you should get locked up. I don't know, disorderly conduct maybe for F. Jossie on the trains, filling that whole tub of cereal. I don't know, vandalism maybe, something. You put the cuffs on him for something. He needs to be held accountable. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Mm-hmm. All right. Now, when we come back, we were talking about the vaccine, and they had some, I guess we can call them guinea pigs, right? Well, yeah, they're the ones that are going to be doing the testing. So some people have volunteered and we actually were talking about how they test out that vaccine and why people will volunteer to do such a thing just for the greater good. All right. So we're asking 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Would you be a guinea pig for, as she said, the greater good? That is the question. Me, myself, I can't. I mean, I got five kids and a wife. I can't. Charlamagne? No, I wouldn't. I have a bright future.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Yee? Not for a vaccine, but I think if I had coronavirus, like currently had it and I was really sick, I would be a guinea pig for medication that could work to cure it. But not for a vaccine. What if the medication kills you? Yeah, but what if you're about to die anyway? And then this could save your life.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Well, there's different cases of coronavirus. You got the mild case, you have the more severe cases, and then you have the fatal case. I said if I was really sick and about to die, I would do it. If it was fatal, fatal. If you knew that you were probably going to die. When you get to a point where you'll try anything, then I think, yes, I would be a guinea pig in that case. It's either
Starting point is 01:17:16 that or nothing, but I wouldn't do a vaccine. Okay. And I agree with that and that's what I was saying earlier about, you know, why not go get you know, these people that are doing forever in prison, these people that have committed these heinous crimes who got 200, 300 years. Why not go to them? Because they're at the end of their ropes in life.
Starting point is 01:17:36 You know what I mean? Like, that's why I said earlier, why would these people choose to be human guinea pigs, human crash test dummies? Like, what's going on in their life that they're just like, okay, I'm down. All right. Well, let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about kind of like being a guinea pig. So they have this vaccine and they're giving it to people. You got the updates of what's going on? Coronavirus vaccine is what it is. And so we actually played some audio this morning from a person who actually is a participant in the coronavirus vaccine trial, Neil Browning. This first phase of the study, there was 45 people broken up into three groups of 15 where my initial group received a very small 25 microgram dose of the vaccine. After two weeks and we showed no signs of any
Starting point is 01:18:46 untowards behavior from the vaccination, the second group, which got four times that at 100 micrograms, was introduced to their dose of the vaccine. Another two-week pause to make sure that no ill effects were felt by that group. And then the final group of 15, which got 10 times my original dose of 250 micrograms, got their doses. In the interim between that, we all get blood tests to make sure that we're doing okay. Right. So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you take this vaccine? I would not. Maybe if I was a lot older, my kids were older and I was taking it for them,
Starting point is 01:19:20 so hopefully they can get a vaccine so they can be okay. But right now, nah nah there's still a lot I need to see just in case this thing don't work out too right you know my daughter is uh today is her last day of school of high school so she's supposed to be in college next year so I'm excited about that you know I got five kids and a wife so nah I'm good I'm good money I'll pass now for myself I don't really take anything like I've never gotten a flu shot I don't really take anything. Like I've never gotten a flu shot. I don't do things like I don't take medication. So I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm never for putting something foreign into my body.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Whoa. What about you, Charlamagne? You into putting something foreign in your body, bro? Shut up, nigga. Listen, no, I wouldn't do this. I have a bright future. And there is no reason for me to be a human guinea pig at this point in my life. I am 41
Starting point is 01:20:05 years old okay why am i sitting around in someone's laboratory letting them put back vaccines in me what what does my life come to that i'm like sure i'll be a crash test dummy like well i want to know why are regular everyday civilians signing up for this you know i mean like i would go to the prisons right i would start with the prisoners who are doing these stupid football numbers, the ones who are in there for these heinous crimes. And I feel like those people would gladly volunteer. You know, I'm sure they would. I just want to know what makes a human who has something to live for
Starting point is 01:20:36 do something like this. Like, I really want to know the psychological makeup of these people. How would I even explain that to my wife? You know what I mean? He was saying that he saw all of the harm that the virus has been doing, and he just wanted to be of help when you see things like that happening. And some people are feeling like that. We all do, but we don't want to do that.
Starting point is 01:20:54 I want to know, does he have a family? Does he have a wife? Does he have kids? I don't know. I would really like to know the psychological makeup of this person that he would volunteer for something. Or maybe he feels like he's saving the world. But let's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Hello, who's this? This is Danielle. Hey, Danielle. Good morning. Good morning. Now, would you be a guinea pig? Would you take the vaccine to try it out? Well, I absolutely would, but I also work in clinical research, and so
Starting point is 01:21:23 the reason that I think that this is so important to just clarify is you know there's there's a lot of misconceptions about clinical research but without clinical research we wouldn't be able to find cures for all types of diseases and and conditions such as covid19 so um you, probably the most of this study is going to really focus on healthy people, people who have no medical conditions whatsoever, to ensure that we get good clinical data to see if this particular vaccine works. And there are other vaccines that are being, you know, worked on right now in other places. I live in Virginia, and UVA and VCU are doing things now too.
Starting point is 01:22:05 So I think it's very important. They're going to look at a very precise, very healthy-looking population. And so if you have that opportunity and you're able to do that, definitely look on clinicaltrials.gov and get the information so that you can educate yourself and make sure that you're aware of what the criteria is. Can I ask you two questions? Of course. Two questions.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Number one, is there ever a lack of people volunteering for being tested? Or is that something that you have so many people volunteering that you have to choose? Absolutely not. It is very tough to find patients who meet the criteria in a lot of clinical trials. So, you know, we rely heavily on advertising in the community with, you know, the good people like you guys. We're not advertising. Not advertising.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Just talking about it. No, absolutely not. And the second thing, people get paid for this, right? People do get paid to participate in clinical trials because they are volunteers. It's absolutely a volunteer possibility.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Is it life-changing money? No. Usually no because it's about that's all about cohesion and that's the FDA and the IRBs that are involved that protect the welfare of people who volunteer, they make sure that that does not happen. What's the criteria, by the way?
Starting point is 01:23:35 You said being healthy and what else? Generally with phase one trials, which is probably what this is, preclinical trials have already been done on what you guys call the guinea pig. It's usually done on small animals so this this particular trial is being done healthy volunteers I can only imagine that it's probably somebody 18 and older who is very very healthy who has no medical history on any kind of medication so they're looking for you, a person who fits a very probably strict mold. Okay, final question for me. Do you have to sign a waiver that if something happens to you because of this vaccine, you can't sue or anything like that?
Starting point is 01:24:15 I'm sure. There's a document in clinical research called an informed consent. And that informed consent gives you all the information as to what that study pertains to. Any previous information that they received from the data when they did the injection or they did the vaccine on the animal studies. And there is a clause in there that whoever the pharmaceutical company is for that vaccine they will be held responsible for any any uh thing that's related to what happens to you so if you if you have something happen to you and they and and it is found by the physician who's doing the clinical trial to be
Starting point is 01:25:00 um related to that particular medication, they are absolutely responsible. Oh, so you get paid. Okay. Yeah, you do get paid. We learned a lot just now. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 01:25:13 And thank you for all that you do for the community. Bye-bye. Thank you. Yes, that right there seals the deal for me. Absolutely would not be worth it. Okay? There's no way in hell I'm signing a waiver that something potentially could happen. I don't care because if I die, so what?
Starting point is 01:25:28 Then my family gets paid. I'm dead. You know what I mean? Sometimes these trials do go left and it doesn't work out. All right. The only way I would do it is if I turn to Captain America or Luke Cage or Wolverine after the science experiment like this. That's not going to happen. That's not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:25:44 But 800-585-1051. We'll take your calls. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:25:55 Good morning. If you just joined us, we're talking about would you be a guinea pig? Would you take or try the vaccine to save the greater community, everybody else, your family and all that other stuff. Me personally, I got five kids and a wife. I'm not taking no vaccine. I'm not trying anything out. I can't be a test dummy.
Starting point is 01:26:10 Not even to save your family, you just said? Not right now. Not as a test dummy. Nah. Nah. Nah. This is how people become superheroes or supervillains, monsters
Starting point is 01:26:21 in every single comic book movie because they're letting the government do some type of experiment on them. Okay? But guess what? This ain't the movies, dog. And I got two brighter futures. I got three beautiful little girls I want to see grow up. I got a beautiful wife.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Life is good. Okay? I can figure out other ways to help the greater community other than being a goddamn crash test dummy. Especially after what that young lady told us last break. You got to sign a waiver, and the waiver tells you everything that could possibly go wrong.
Starting point is 01:26:49 I really want to know the psychological makeup of these people who choose to do this. Because if you sign that waiver, looking at all the things that could possibly go wrong, and you still do it, I don't think you got much to live for, personally. I will say, though, people, there's a lot of medication that we see on TV,
Starting point is 01:27:04 and it tells you all the side effects. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. People still take that. Not that it's going to kill you. Sometimes it can. You know what I'm saying? It might not kill you. What medication is out there that they advertise on TV that's going to kill you? They say it can cause cancer.
Starting point is 01:27:20 That if we took, we could actually sue the pharmaceutical company. No, they say it can cause cancer, can cause erectile dysfunction, can cause pancreatic disc, but it is not just you will die. Not that. But let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this? This is Makai.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Hey, Makai. Now, would you be a test dummy or a guinea pig for the vaccine? Yes, I would because, you would because I would have a better chance at living because it's better knowing that you have a chance than just going out knowing that you're going to die. How old are you?
Starting point is 01:27:56 How old are you, Makai? To be honest, I'm 14. First of all, you have no choice but to be honest because we can hear the lack of puberty in your voice. That's number one. Number two, there is no choice but to be honest because we can hear the lack of puberty in your voice. That's number one. We can definitely hear it in your voice. Number two, there is no decision you could make like this without asking your parents. Okay, where are your parents at, Makai?
Starting point is 01:28:14 Oh, no, my dad knows. My dad knows. Your dad knows what? He knows that I try to call the radio. I ain't talking about the radio. I'm talking about taking the vaccines for these white people, Makai. I ain't talking about the radio. I'm talking about taking the vaccines to be a guinea pig or a crash test dummy. You couldn't make that decision without asking your father,
Starting point is 01:28:31 Makai. Where is your daddy? So I can tell him what you're planning on doing with your life. Right now? He's at the store. Okay. Where's your mom? Out. Makai, do you understand what it means to do a clinical trial? but okay where's your mom um out Makai do you understand
Starting point is 01:28:46 what it means to do a clinical trial like what you would have to do to be experimented on um not really okay Makai
Starting point is 01:28:54 so if somebody asks you you just say no Makai you say no I gotta talk to my mom or daddy okay okay please Makai what grade are you what school
Starting point is 01:29:01 what grade are you in Makai um I'm in 8th grade right now okay 8th grade so you in, Makai? I'm in eighth grade right now. Okay, eighth grade. So next year you go to high school. Sir? Next year you go to high school? Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:12 All right, well, focus on high school, Makai, all right? Makai, are you bored in the house because you're in the house bored? Yes. Okay, I'm going to be honest with you, Anjali, you've never sounded so old on this radio. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Trying to speak the kids' language. Well, Makai, you have a
Starting point is 01:29:29 great future, Makai. You have a great day, Makai. Goodness gracious. What's the moral of this story? He was bored at home. He didn't even know what the question was. The young man, Makai, is a prime example of what I'm talking about. He's 14 years old. Clearly, he's just not psychologically ready
Starting point is 01:29:45 to make a decision like this. I just want to know the psychological makeup of people who choose to do things like this, man. You know what I mean? I just want to know. That's all. And that's why she probably said, the woman who called earlier said they have a hard time finding people. Because who would sign up for this? Well, she also said, and it's also because you have to
Starting point is 01:30:02 fit like this whole entire description of being healthy and do these interviews and all of that stuff. So even if you did volunteer, there's not a great chance that you'll be chosen through. All right. We got rumors on the way. Yes. Let's talk about Boosie versus Webby. What went on online yesterday?
Starting point is 01:30:21 What happened? All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:30:36 On The Breakfast Club. Yes, Boosie and Webby had a back and forth on social media yesterday. Now, it all started with YFN Lucci. He posted, them MWERS did that for the boss at Official Boosie. And Webby said, nice pick. MWERS did that and doing all this ish for the boss now.
Starting point is 01:30:55 But where the F-O-U-M-WERS was when I sacrificed all my ish and took care of families when you was in jail, be just wondering at Official Boosie. Well, after that, Boosie well after that Boosie responded and said you could have called me truth is you never sent my mother a dollar and y'all have free Boosie concerts all over she never got a dime you lying bruh Waka Yo Gotti Jeezy hit it with stacks why not you everybody know I've tried to help you millions of times every time we try to get you in the studio you leave truly even tried getting writers for you to help you out, bro.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Two years ago, you wouldn't even clear a 2D song saying you made the title. It's up, really. You was down getting 7K a show. I put you on my tour and gave you 10K for seven shows out my pocket. So you'd be straight. And what do you do?
Starting point is 01:31:38 Try to sync the whole tour. Missing dates, not doing radio, et cetera. Telling the DJ you only doing three songs. He's very explicit in everything that happened. But, yeah, so that's basically you can read the whole thing on his Instagram page. It's still up right now. Well, that sucks.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Boosie and Webby have been partners for a while, but you know people grow apart. And guess what? None of us know the dynamics of their relationship like they do. So they probably have every good reason to not be rocking with each other right now. My only recommendation is, my brothers, the way y'all grammar and run-on sentences and lack of punctuation is set up, just do videos. Just record yourself saying whatever it is y'all going to type.
Starting point is 01:32:15 Shut up, man. That's all I ask. I hope they work it out. They were good friends beforehand. I hope they work it out, man. And you know what? I haven't really heard Boosie say nothing bad about Webby or vice versa before this. So I really did think everything was cool.
Starting point is 01:32:30 All right. Chick-fil-A has surpassed Burger King and Taco Bell on the best-selling list. It is now the second highest-grossing restaurant chain in the United States, even though they're not open on Sundays. So you know what number one is. McDonald's. McDonald's. Of course, yes, McDonald's.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Chick-fil-A would have bended that if they were available all over the country. You got to think Chick-fil-A just became available all over the country a few years back, you know, before it was just regulated to us in the South. Yeah, now it's just in the East Coast. And the lines are still crazy. I passed the one in Ramsey yesterday. And that line, my goodness. There's less than 2,500 locations in the U.S. and McDonald's has about almost
Starting point is 01:33:07 14,000. Exactly. But they got them in L.A. now too though. Alright, Bad Bunny made history. He is the first Latin urban male artist ever to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. So congratulations to Bad Bunny. He just put out his album
Starting point is 01:33:23 Las Que No Vivan A Saler,ir, the ones who weren't going out. Those were songs that he wasn't going to put out before. He put that on on Mother's Day from other features that he already had. And so congratulations to Bad Bunny making big things happen. Salute the Rotten Rabbit. Drum, how did that make you feel? First of all, stop disrespecting the man, okay? It's Bad Bunny, okay?
Starting point is 01:33:45 It's well-deserved. I don't know how many times we have to go over the same thing as Bad Bunny, but we out here winning, bro. This is our year. I mean, pandemic aside, Latinos are winning this year. Drum, you might have to smack Charlamagne one time. Just smack him one time. I'm thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:34:00 Wait till you come back in here. Wait till this whole thing's over. Yeah, Drummers. I will bend over and let you smack me if that's what you want as a congratulatory. You see, I'm not into whatever that type of stuff you're into, so please. Dramos, would you say all this started with El Hanaral? Yeah, I mean, all these guys are letting Daddy Yankee, you know, all these guys are obviously letting Daddy Yankee.
Starting point is 01:34:19 But I mean, early, early, early on, El Hanaral was before all that. Right, of course. But then you have Daddy Yankee help kind of cross over and bridge the gap. And now Bad Bunny is just running with that whole baton and getting, you know, he's knocking it out of here. He's like our Drake, man. He's the Drake of the Latin world. I know Hanare. He was Han Solo's sister in Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:34:39 Yo, stop it. Go ahead, dude. Ebi, I know you know El Hanare. Platoon tune. Is that what it was? It wasn't in the song? Platoon tune? Yeah. Pew, pew the song platoon tune yeah pew pew pew pew and muay
Starting point is 01:34:48 that's awesome and muay velo muay velo muay velo muay pa I wave at them all hi guys congratulations stupid my guy
Starting point is 01:34:58 no but that's dope so shout out to shout out to Bad Bunny for having that you know and I can't believe that's never happened before to have an urban Latin artist on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Starting point is 01:35:07 So that's huge. All right. Barack Obama admits that he is not he's secretly kind of happy that his daughters are stuck at home. So and I'm sure other parents feel that way as well. You know, speaking with former staffers, he said, first, having no sports to watch has been driving him nuts. But secondly, he said, the fact that Malia and Sasha are stuck having dinner with me is pretty amazing. Yeah, I love that too.
Starting point is 01:35:32 My daughter almost made me cry yesterday. She was like, you know, the bad thing is when this pandemic's over, she was like, I love cooking breakfast with you every morning. She was like, it's the best. She was like, when this is over, it won't happen. You don't have to go to work. You'll be traveling. You'll be doing shows and seminars and real estate. She was like, I love the fact that I see you all the time. I love it.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Well, I'm sure that your parents and your group will be cooking breakfast together at some point soon. Who? And you learn new things about your kids. You know what I'm saying? Because we be on the go so much. So we're not like as present. We're not 100% present. I would say I'm 100% present now
Starting point is 01:36:03 as opposed to like 60, 70% present. When you're 100% present. I would say I'm 100% present now as opposed to like 60, 70% present. When you're 100% present, you learn new things about your kids. You learn new things that they're into, new things that they think that make it all worth it being home. Absolutely. All right, now let's talk about the versus battle. Erica Badu and Jill Scott, their streams tripled after that battle. Their streams rose from 2 million to 6 million.
Starting point is 01:36:26 So combined, that's what they did. So that's really dope. The first female battle of Versus was last weekend. Amazing. So shout out to them. And shout out to Tiana Taylor. I'm sure you guys saw the snippet of her Bear With Me video. It looks so super dope.
Starting point is 01:36:41 She's a really amazing performer and artist. So I'm excited to see what that whole video is going to look like. That snippet looks dope. She's a really amazing performer and artist, so I'm excited to see what that whole video is going to look like. I actually heard Tiana's album. Tiana's album is dope. Tiana's album needs a visual. I pray that Def Jam, our good music, whoever she's signed to, I pray that they cut her a check so she can
Starting point is 01:36:58 do like a 20-30 minute mini movie for her album. Because Tiana's visuals are incredible. Shout out to Kevin Hart. You know, he did the All In Challenge. That's Michael Rubin's charity for helping coronavirus. And the person who won, he actually hopped on a video conference
Starting point is 01:37:15 to let him know that it's his time for his close-up. So here he is talking to Henry Law. Henry, I want to congratulate you. You are a winner. You have won this particular portion of the All In Challenge. My man, let me break this down to you. Henry, you will be in my next movie. You will have a line. You will have a trailer. You will not only have a trailer, you will have an assistant. You will have a five-star hotel. You will get a car service.
Starting point is 01:37:42 You're going to get the whole shebang. Alright, so congrats to him. That's going to be fun. It sounds like he's really up for it. So, he's an anesthesiologist and he's been working front lines of coronavirus. He's from Philly and he's a big fan of the 76ers also. So, feels like the fight was fixed, but you know. Alright, I'm
Starting point is 01:38:00 Angela Yee. I would also like to add, because of that Jill Scott Erykah Badu battle, I went to Erykah Badu's website, Badu World Market, because she had the after party. I messed around and spent $305 on her website. Okay. So you bought some of those birdies and sweatshirts and T-shirts?
Starting point is 01:38:17 Yeah. My wife is a huge Erykah Badu, Jill Scott fan, so I bought a couple of Erykah Badu T-shirts for her as well as myself. And I bought that f***ing incense. Really? Definitely did. Oh, yeah. $50.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Wow. Bought some booty shorts too? They don't sell shorts. I lost all those hoodies and crew necks up there. But $305, just that fast. So, yes, that versus definitely works. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:38:39 I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys on Monday.

And also shout out to Tokyo Jets. She put out her stimulus package project today. So shout out to Tokyo Jets as well. Now, Solomon, you got a positive note?
