As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going.

That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

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

Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zaka-stan. We need help! That's Escape from Z-A-Q-a-stan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The one to show you love to hate! I can't warm your nervousness from anywhere else.

It's on your radio right now! Do you know how to pop that coochie for a good one? There you go! It's the world's most dangerous water show. Got the cameras, I'm out of here. I agree. What kind of show is this? Let's not listen to this show.

The Breakfast Club. With DJ Envy. The captain of this bitch. With Angela Yee. The only one who can keep these guys in check. With Charlamagne Tha God. I'm a lovable asshole. And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches!

Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Hump Day. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Good morning. Yes, it's Wednesday, Hump Day. Good morning, everybody. To you. The birds are chirping. What happened to A-Town, man? I don't know. She's still doing stuff.

For real? What are you doing all the time? Yeah, he sent me a I don't know. He's still doing stuff. For real? What are you doing? Yeah, he sent me a DM the other day. I think it's a movie or something. Oh, he's trying to holler? No, I'm kidding. No, he's trying to promote himself. Why would you say that?

No, congrats to A-Town. Congrats to A-Town for being in the movie. I don't know what the movie is, but he says he has a movie. So congrats to him. Absolutely. I was running a little late today. I don't know about your kids today, but my kids have half day. And when they have half day, we have a routine in the crib where I pack the kids snacks every day. So I just assume they got half day.

They don't need no snacks. And my wife was like, no, they need snacks. So I had to jump back in the house, pack up the snacks. And as she was starting to get ready and had to get up out of there. So I was just a titulate. Hey, man, it's a game of inches in the morning. No, it really is a game of inches. If you live, you's a game of inches in the morning. Sometimes it's a game of inches. No, it really is. It's a game of inches. If you live, you know, a certain distance from the radio station, if you're not out the house by a certain time,

you know whether you're going to be on time or you're going to be late. That's just the way the game goes. It's like football. It's a game of inches, yo. Then I had to choose if I was going to put the garbage out or not. Oh, that's rough. If I had to put the garbage out, I'd be late, son. Yeah, you got to do that the night before.

Yeah. That's the slanting. But then you got the animals. The animals, like, you know, they jump in your garbage and your rat coals. I don't care. And squirrels and bears and bears. You got to do that. Put a lid on the trash can.

That don't work. Them bears knock that trash can over. Squirrels are smart as hell. You got to do it because. Aggressive squirrels, too. Especially where I live now because my driveway is a little too far from the house. Okay, talk that is. Talk that is.

Life is good. Listen, speaking of life, life after death, Sister Soldier, the sequel to Coldest Winner ever is out. Not only is it out, it's sold out everywhere. Is it? That's amazing. That's great. She's number one on Amazon. Sold out everywhere. It won't be available for another couple weeks, but

she's here with us this morning. That's right. So we're going to kick it with Sister Soldier in a little bit. All right. A-Town has a movie out called A-Town the Movie. Terrible segue. You don't go back to A-Town. I'm going back to it because I was looking it up trying to see what he sent.

But yes, he has a movie called A-Town the Movie. So he's starring in his own movie. Congratulations to A-Town. Yes. All right. I was driving in today and i see that uh dr oz saved somebody yesterday how dr oz saved somebody uh he was at newark airport i guess he was catching a flight and uh i guess a guy a couple seats away from him had a heart attack really yeah so you know dr oz that's what he does he he's a heart doctor um so

uh dr oz jumped on his knees and started giving him mouth to mouth and saved him. Sounds staged to me. What do you mean he's in a Dr. Oz story? Oh, that's nice. Dr. Oz is my guy, but come on. You conveniently was on a flight with somebody who had a heart attack, Dr. Oz. They do that on the plane.

They'll be like, is there a doctor on the flight? Is there a doctor on the flight? Well, you wouldn't have to ask that if Dr. Oz was there. You're looking right at him. Hey, doc! He never been on a plane and that's happened? Is there a doctor on the flight? Is there a doctor on the flight? Well, you wouldn't have to ask that if Dr. Oz was there. You're looking right at him. Hey, Doc! He was at the airport. You've never been on a plane and that's happened? Is there a doctor on the flight?

Yeah, but you ain't never been on a plane with Dr. Oz, a doctor that everybody knows. I mean, come on. If Dr. Oz and Dr. Dre are on the plane, you're not going to ask for the doctor. You're going to be like, Doc, come on.

Come on, Doc. Do something. Come on, Doc. Yeah, so Dr. Oz saved the gentleman's life. So shout out to Dr. Oz. Well, congratulations, Dr. Oz, for a well-timed publicity stunt.

Drop it. Don't do that, man. Dr. Oz. And if you're ever on shout out to Dr. Oz. Well, congratulations, Dr. Oz, for a well-timed publicity stunt. Drop it. Don't do that, man. Dr. Oz. And if you're ever on a flight with Dr. Oz, Dr. Oz likes to take pictures of you when you fall asleep. Like, that's Dr. Oz's thing.

Like, I've been on a couple of flights with Dr. Oz and when I wake up, when I finally land, him and his wife are usually laughing at me and they're showing me pictures of me sleeping, snoring, drooling.

I'm like, come on, Dr. Oz, grow up. At least they weren't on the flight with you crying watching a movie. That only happened once, he stopped it. Dr. Oz is a good guy, though. He's a great guy. I'm like, come on, Dr. Oz, grow up. At least they weren't on the flight with you crying watching a movie. That only happened once, he's stopping. Dr. Oz is a good guy though. He's a great guy. I was actually talking to him last week about having a panel to talk

about why black people distrust the vaccine. Would he participate in a panel like that? I'm sure he would. I'm sure he'd say yes. Dr. Oz, he always shows up. Alright, but let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, speaking of the vaccine, according to President Joe Biden, the United States will have enough vaccines for every adult American. We'll tell you the timeline when that's going to happen.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Where are we starting, Ye? Well, President Joe Biden said yesterday the U.S. will have enough COVID-19 vaccine doses for every adult American by the end of May. Now, that doesn't mean everybody's going to get it by the end of May. It does mean that they still have to worry about distribution and personnel. It could take longer for that to happen.

But that's all thanks to a new partnership between major U.S. drug makers. So that will make it on target. And that's progress. And he also wants to make sure that teachers are also known now as essential workers, so they should be... Well, they are essential workers, but they also will be able to get the vaccine ahead of other people.

So there's some of these creatures back open, basically. You see, Texas... Well, we're getting to that right now. Texas is a little different. Texas and Mississippi have lifted COVID restrictions and mask mandates. Now, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said this. The number of active COVID cases is the lowest since November and is less than half of what it was just a month ago. Also, today is the lowest positivity rate we've had in four months. We have been under 10% positivity rate for days now. Today, we're now under 9% positivity rate in the state of Texas.

But make no mistake, COVID has not, like, suddenly disappeared. Yeah, and that's what I don't understand. If things are trending the right way in Texas, it's probably because of the mandates and everybody doing what they're supposed to be doing. So why stop it? Well, here's what else governor abbott had to say effective next wednesday all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100 also i am ending the statewide mask mandate now despite these changes remember this removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility that don't

make any sense you did we america has already proven that we don't do well with personal responsibility when you give people a choice they will make the wrong choice so sometimes you have to have the mandates in place so people do what they have to do yeah, am I reading this right? They're saying Texas has 2.6 million cases? That's crazy. I couldn't tell you. Because if that's the case, you know, they're number two. California is number one with 3.5. Texas is 2.6. Then Florida 1.9. Then New York 1.6. So they're number

two and they're like, party, party, party, party, party. Let's all get wasted. Well, I'm not even mad at the businesses being open 100%, but you know, don't tell people that they don't have to wear masks you know i mean even when you're in these businesses you should still social distance as much as possible you should still wear masks and it goes back to my original point if they're trending the right way right and take cases are going down then why oh why would you stop people from doing what they're supposed to be doing bro they're gonna have concerts they're gonna have uh doing. They're going to have concerts. They're going to have shows. And you're going to be their DJ.

But I'm not going to be in the crowd. And I'm going to have a blast going. Oh my gosh, Envy. Other states are loosening their restrictions as well in Louisiana. Most businesses and restaurants will be allowed to increase capacity to 75%. In Michigan, restaurants

can open it to 50% capacity, which is up from 25% on March 5th. And in Kentucky, they said many businesses can increase to 60% capacity. That includes barbershops, hair salons, bars, and restaurants,

bowling alleys, fitness centers, movie theaters, and government offices. Yeah. I don't mind if business is increasing, but just everybody still wear your mask and social distance when you're in these businesses as much as possible.

Still use your hand sanitizer and all that. But you can, you can socially distance when they're just going to allow everybody as possible. Still use your hand sanitizer and all that good stuff. But you can. You can socially distance when they're just going to allow everybody in. It's going to be jam-packed. That's why restaurants are doing 50% because they don't want to have the same amount of tables and people sitting right next to each other. People are going to be at the bars like you can't. Just take personal responsibility

and don't go in packed places. That's all. You don't have to be in a packed place. But I'm just saying if you're in a business, even if it's an essential business and there's a lot of people there just social distance as best you can if you're at the drug store the grocery store just stay away from people wear your mask just don't tell people not to wear a mask that's all I'm saying

alright well that's your front page news and I think people should take the vaccines it's my opinion your family everybody can't take it right now though no everybody can't but it right now, though. Not everybody can't. But, you know, if you can, if you get the opportunity to, I would advise you do.

That's just my opinion. But anyway, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Hit us right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 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? It's Jay. Jay, what's up? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, listen, man. I'm from Mississippi.

These folks, they're not wearing their mask, bro. Like, it's ridiculous. There's no type of self-responsibility or anything like that, man. Not down here. That's why you got to have a mandate. I'm telling you, Americans just aren't capable of taking personal responsibility. Yes, and without that mandate, it's just going to get worse. And the fact that they made masks political.

Like, you know what I'm saying? If you wear a mask, you know you're a liberal. If you don't wear a mask, you're a conservative. It's just like, man, who got time for all that? I know people say, like, Southern hospitality, but, bro, at the end of the day, this is the South. That's right. We feel some of the same old rules down here. And like you said, it is there for little.

And you in the M-I, crick-a-letter, crick-a-letter, I, crick-a-letter, crick-a-letter, I, humpback, humpback, I. Hello, who's this? What up, though? This is Lee from Detroit. What up, though? What up? Man, I got a question i need to ask you and he i know you real heavy in the real estate and i know she got property here i'm about to do something in the real estate field and i need to get the financing together my my credit score is wonderful and all that but I want to make sure I make the right move

because I don't want to hurt my credit score. What are you trying to do? It's on the line of a Ben breakfast, but it's a little bit different. I don't really want to say exactly because I don't need everybody in Detroit with a couple dollars. That's what I'm about to try to do. All right, Matt. If you got the property ready, you want to buy? I'm about to go check it out.

Well, go check it out. Where are you getting the property from? Is it wholesale or is it retail? It's retail. Okay. So you're getting it at market value. I would look to try to get a property that's under market value just so you have some wiggle room if something goes wrong, if you need to fix it up so you always know that you are winning. You can check out, I don't know what you're looking for. If you're looking for a house or if you're looking for a building or what you're looking for but check out um auction.com and hubzoo.com they have a lot of properties uh for wholesale prices cheaper than retail might need a little bit of work sometimes it doesn't but that

way you have a little skin in the game so if something ever happens you have a little equity in your property so that you won't be hurting so let me uh what's the chances i can holler at one of your people i don't need no money or nothing, but it ain't either one of those. And I don't really want to say exactly what it is. So you don't need money. You know the property. So what you need? You good.

You want to make sure it doesn't affect his credit. Right. Look, my goal, I'm 42. My goal is by the time I'm 50, my wife don't have to work no more. So I got a bunch of small business ideas, but I need to do it strategically so I can get everything done. And this is my first step. And it's a big one. I see. It sounds like you need a business manager, not somebody that to do it strategically so I can get everything done. And this is my first step. And it's a big one. I see it sounds like you need a business manager, not somebody that's going to help you.

Hold on the line. Let me see if I can... And if you have an accountant. And by the way, there's these two sisters in Detroit that opened up a bed and breakfast. I don't know if you've been there. Cochran, have you been there? Sisters Rodriguez and Francina James. People say it's amazing. It's a luxury bed and breakfast hotel. Have you been there? What Rodriguez and Francina James. People say it's amazing. It's a luxury bed and breakfast

hotel. Have you been there? What's it called? It's called the Cochran House Luxury Inn. No, I haven't. You should go check that out. It opened I think like two years ago. Everybody was talking about it. You might even have to sit outside in your car and see how many people come and see what their

process is. Go in. Spend the night there. Where is that? You the night there. Oh, yeah. Where is that? You got to do your homework, man. We ain't doing the homework for you. She just told you the name of it. Go Google it. Cochran.

Yeah, C-O-C-H-R-A-N-E. All right, bro. Cochran. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. It's your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, hey, hey, how you doing? Shout out to all

you guys. How you guys? This is Cas Corleone from the DMV area. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. I just want to get it off my chest. My girl, she's? Get off your chest. I just want to get off my chest. My girl, she's been going through a lot. I just proposed to her last July, and she's been having a lot of issues with her parents and just really, really going through it.

So I wanted to know if Charlamagne could possibly bless me with some six months of talk space. I know you guys have been doing that. I listen to you guys every morning. So I just wanted to... We don't have any more Talk Space King. But you know what I'll do? You know what I'll do?

I'll send you a copy of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health by Dr. Rita Walker. Yeah, that... Okay, that's definitely cool. That's cool. Yeah, that's a book

that I swear by. Can I shout out my podcast real fast? Of course. Okay, yeah, my podcast is called WTF is Wrong. I kind of started it, honestly, because of Brilliant

Idiot. So, you know, just kind of talking about what's going on with the world, what's going on with me, what's wrong with everybody. So, you know, but I appreciate it for taking my call. Hold on, bro. With Del Chalamet, you got something to, you know, I know sometimes you say you do things to keep you grounded. Do you have any, you know, maybe exercises

he can do with his wife that might be able to help him out? I do meditation. I do meditation and I do breathing exercises. But I would also encourage you to go to the app store and download the Chopper Meditation app hosted by my sister, Debbie Brown. Because she's the guru when it comes to those kind of exercises. She teaches you these different meditations and quick breathing exercises

you can do every morning. Okay, cool. Can I shout out? Appreciate it. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Jasmine. Hey, get it off your chest. Okay, so I'm a pharmacy student. I'm working in the ICU currently.

I see all the COVID cases. And I just hate when people are like, oh, no, the vaccine causes infertility. I'm not getting that. Where did you hear that? Where are you reading that? I just get so angry when people are like reading the wrong information and spreading it to their friends. You know, it's just really annoying. I ain't gonna lie.

Somebody told me that yesterday. It was like, you know, Envy, you got five kids. You know, I'm trying to have some kids, so I don't know if I want to take the vaccine. I was like, the vaccine? It makes you infertile? I didn't know that. But you know where they get that from, though.

They get that from the internet. Come on. Right, conspiracy. We don't know if catching COVID will give you infertility, so better not catch it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.

Well, Envy took it, so he's going to keep us updated. When are you getting your second shot, Envy? Two weeks. I got two more weeks to get my second shot. You got to wait until CVS throw the trash out again. CVS throw the trash out again. He'd be out there like a little goddamn animal. That's not the truth, but yeah, I got my first shot.

I kind of just was, you know, waiting around a pharmacy, and nobody came for this shot, and they couldn't find an essential worker in time, so I kind of got the first shot. I kind of just was, you know, waiting around a pharmacy and nobody came for this shot and they couldn't find an essential worker in time. So I kind of got the last shot, which I'm not mad at. Wow, that's awesome. I know Johnson & Johnson is rolling out in New York now. So there's going to be a lot more appointments available for people who couldn't get it before. So it's just really awesome. And you just said one shot with that one, right? Yep.

Yeah, yeah. And so even that, people say, oh, the Epica 3 is so low. But it's actually 100% prevention of death and long-term, you know, getting those long-term. Right, we were discussing that. Yeah, you can still get it, but at least you won't die or have to be hospitalized. And they were saying that they might do a booster shot with that as well. They're going to start checking that out. Maybe they do another shot, and that will make the rates go higher a little bit so maybe it might be two shots later on but right now like they're saying if you can get any shot get any shot exactly and you know what it's just gonna save us in the long run so i'm a proud

proponent of it and i think it is important to share with our family, you know, important information because sometimes the wrong stuff gets in the wrong hands. And misinformation will bring people down the wrong path. No, that's the Internet for you. All right. Thank you. Get it off your chest. Sister Soulja, too, man. Make sure to let people know Sister Soulja joining us next hour.

Yeah, next hour, Sister Soulja will be joining us. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way. Yes. And let's talk about Chad Johnson, a.k.a get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and let's talk about Chad Johnson, a.k.a. Ocho Cinco. He broke down on his episode

of the I Am Athlete podcast and will tell you about that discussion about mental health. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

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

Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,

but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best. And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all

about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your your podcasts. Well, Envy came in this morning talking about Dr. Oz and how Dr. Oz saved somebody's life. And Dr. Oz himself is talking about what happened at Newark airport after

someone collapsed and flatlined. The flight had been delayed. So I was with my wife and one of my daughters. And I left my daughter with the luggage to go get the stuff that was coming off the carousel. And she, about five seconds later, yelled, Daddy, Daddy, come quick. And when I turned around, I realized what had happened. A fairly burly gentleman who ended up being 61 years of age had collapsed, fallen on his face. There was no pulse. And so the first thing you do when there's no pulse is you give the patient a pulse by doing CPR. So getting top of his chest, compressing as hard as I could.

Wow, that's scary. He said the man had no pulse. He was turning a bad color. He had foam coming out of his mouth when he started doing CPR. And fortunately, Dr. Oz was able to control his airway and the defibrillator arrived. And that's when they shocked him at the highest power possible. And it worked. We're dropping the clues bombs for Dr. Oz. I mean, you know, that's divine timing, right? Like God will have you in the right place at the right time, you know, in the right situation sometimes, you know, to help people. Hell yeah. And I hate that the

internet has made me cynical to even think that this could be a publicity stunt. I'm looking to see when it's sweep week. You stupid, man. When is the new season of Dr. Oz premiering? Dr. Oz? I hate that the world has made me that way.

I hate it. It's horrible. Alright, Elon Musk says he wants to create a city in Texas and he wants to call it Starbase. So, oh, no, Spacebase. I'm sorry. Why does it say Starbase here? So, oh, it is. It is Starbase. OK, so creating the city of Starbase, Texas is what he wrote.

From thence to Mars and hence the stars. So he's kept those details to a minimum, but he wants to, according to reports, incorporate Boca Chica Village, a small Texas town where SpaceX is building their deep space rocket and make it that. He got the paper to do it. He definitely does. Go on and build your town.

Go on and build White Condor. He's doing a lot, though. I ain't gonna lie. He's trying to do stuff at Mars. Space, space, star base. Yeah. Shout out to him. Well, would you,

I'll talk about that later. Takashi69 is being sued for unpaid security bills totaling more than $75,000. Apparently, he had all this protection and that was in late 2018 before he got locked up, but he didn't pay those

people from before he went to jail. Now he's being sued. If you're him, you have to keep up with that bill. Absolutely. That's what you don't want to be laid on. That's like life insurance. That's like regular people throwing their middle finger to the IRS. Like, I ain't paying y'all.

Okay, I'll show you who's boss then. Yeah, so they had around-the-clock security for him. They said it was $85 an hour during the day, and at night it was $127.50 an hour. I mean, that's another reason you got to keep that money going, right? Because when the money gets low, and you know, you somebody like him, if that security goes away, boy, you fooled. Well, you start to see it a little bit. I don't know if you remember.

At first, you used to have like 10, 12 security guards. Now, I think it's like four or five. But I just wish him well. I wish him the best. I hope nobody hurts that much. And I wonder how many insured security companies will protect somebody like that because he seems to incite things often. You know what I mean? That's not what security is for. Security

is for defense, not offense. Well, according to Tekashi's lawyer Lance Lazaro, he said Tekashi's booking agency at the time is responsible for covering the tab and that should really be going to them and not to Tekashi. He has nothing to do with it. Alright, at the time is responsible for covering the tab and that that should really be going to them and not to Takashi. He has nothing to do with it. All right, Chad Johnson, he broke down over losing

his mother on his I Am Athlete podcast. He was talking to Brandon Marshall, Channing Crowder, and Unc Fred Taylor. And in this episode, he talks about the importance of having conversations about mental health. That's what Brandon Marshall was really discussing. And here's what he's had to say about that time of his life. One of my lowest moments happened, you know, two, three weeks ago when I got that call, you know, you need to come by. And I knew there was a problem because I got a call from an immediate family member. But you normally don't call me. And I called from three other people. Wait, how do you even get my number when my number changed in December? So I knew it was an issue. And I called my brother right away. And he answered the phone crying. I just hung up. I already knew what time it was.

And so then I mentally prepared myself to bury my old girl. Damn, man. Sending healing energy to Chad Ocho Cinco. Damn. Sadly, that's something we all probably going to have to do one day. He also talks about their final interaction and said that she was upset with him for not going out to dinner with his family for his birthday. With him for going out to dinner with his family for his birthday and for not inviting her to that dinner. And she had sent him a lot of text messages and he said she was letting him have it. So it kind of hurt him, too.

That was the last exchange that they had. It wasn't like I love you or anything like that. And so that bothered him as well. And then when they asked him on a scale of one to 10, where are you? And he said he was at a seven. Here's what he said. That train has to keep moving. So if I'm at a three, I'm flatline. I can't flatline. There's no time to flatline. I have time to grieve. I've done my grieving and I will continue to grieve over and over. I will continue to cry over and over. But that train has to keep going. So I'm at a seven. Well, the train doesn't have to keep going like you don't have to keep it moving like it's perfectly fine to stop and be still. And, you know, give yourself a chance to grieve. You know, busy busyness is a trauma response.

You know, there's plenty of therapists and psychiatrists to tell you that. The tendency to keep it moving after experiencing something traumatic isn't always productive. Maybe that's his way of getting over it, though. Yeah, but it's nine times out of ten it's a trauma response. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. And salute to Brandon Marshall, too, man.

Mental health warrior. Everybody at Project 375, man, fighting to eradicate the stigma of mental health in our community, man. Drop on the clues bombs for Brandon Marshall. That's my guy. Yeah, shout out to Brandon Marshall. He actually sent me a box for all you guys, but since he sent it to my crib,

y'all all got dead it. You're gonna stop stealing everybody's stuff, man. Yeah, shout out to Ty Hopkins, too. He sent me a starter jacket for you, too, Yee, but you got dead it. Why did y'all let Envy back in the building? It said Brooklyn on it. Wasn't Envy locked out downstairs? I was locked out downstairs.

Why'd you let him in? We're locking him out after this weekend. Yeah, lock him out. Because he's going to Atlanta for All-Star and he's going back down to Atlanta for a real estate seminar. So I don't want to see him for 30 days. 30?

He's got to be 30. What you going to him for 30 days. 30? Gotta be 30. What you gonna do for 30 days without me? The same thing I've been doing. Living my life like a soldier. Gonna be celibate. All right, we got front page news next

what we talking about. Yes, well, let's talk about it. I mean, look, Envy is, but you did get the vaccine.

So we'll discuss what's going on with the vaccine because apparently soon enough we'll all be able to get it alright we'll talk about it when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning

the last thing you worried about is Dr. Seuss books and what's going on in Dr. Seuss books and by the way it's only 6 out of all the books that he has out it's not like they're canceling all Dr. Seuss books that hoodie you're wearing right now can make you a target right? oh yeah cause I'm wearing blue no cause it's a hoodie

blue is crimp I didn't know what you meant by that well some people may look at it like that we can make you a target. Right? Oh yeah, because I'm wearing blue? No, because it's a hoodie. Oh, I thought you were going to say what blue is talking about. Blue is crimp. I didn't know what you meant by that. Well, some people may look at it like that, but I'm just saying it's a hoodie. So people look at that

and they're talking. I'm saying this, I'm just tired of all of this symbolic change. Like when is some real systemic change going to happen? Like, I'm not applauding this.

Like, okay. All right. So you want to let these things go and just worry about big, bigger things. Yeah.

Like not, okay. Yeah. So statues can stay up. I want to do them all. and just worry about big bigger things yeah not okay yeah so statues can stay up i want to do them all i think you could do both i want to that's what i want i think it all matters statues definitely should come down i mean but dr seuss books let me ask you a question you were you did you ever think about dr seuss books being racist before yesterday i'm gonna be honest i know like two dr seuss books only cat in the hat and green eggs and ham i didn't read all these books. That's my point. Yeah, but I think they can take it all down. Take the statues down. Take the books off. Take the

cartoons out. All that. Take it all out. I want real systemic change. I don't see how anybody can argue against that. That's all I'm saying. The symbolism stuff is cool too, but I want real systemic change. Yeah, we're not arguing against that. I'm saying you could do both. Alright, well that is your front page news.

Alright, well when we come back, Sister Soulja will be joining us. She has a new book, Life After Death. Yes, the sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever. 20 years later.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection,

it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

We got a special guest on the line. We have Sister Soulja on the line. Good morning. Peace. Thank you for welcoming me to The Breakfast Club. I really appreciate it. How are you? I'm pretty good.

I've been having what I call a moment of silence. The last book that I wrote was called A Moment of Silence, Midnight Three. And in the opening poem, I wrote that I thought that everybody needed more than a moment of silence, maybe even a whole year to self-reflect and to self-correct because of the direction that, you know, things seem to be moving and not just for myself, but, you know, for the whole country. Yeah. I wonder about people like you are so brilliant, you know, when they, when they write and it's like when the pandemic happened and everybody was at home, did you triple down on writing i know you was already you know in in writing mode did you write even more no i just thought it was really

interesting because all of a sudden everybody had to live like me you know when people were upset about quarantining but my life is like that anyway i mean i, I do normal everyday things. I go to the market, I shop, I cook, I do the laundry, I do normal everyday things. But in terms of writing or trying to be a meaningful author, you spend most of your time researching, reading, interviewing, things like that. So I'd always be either indoors or in bookstores or in meetings interviewing people anyway. So when the quarantine came, it was an easy shift for me to make. Now, how did you do research? Of course, you know, The Coldest Winter Ever to me is like,

and to a lot of people is a classic book. It's like Shakespeare level when it comes to writing and all of that. and to a lot of people is a classic book it's like shakespeare level when it comes to writing and all of that and for a lot of people even when did that come out in 1999 yeah shakespeare today shakespeare not as good as sister soldier oh thank you so for yourself right how did you research a character like that and then even for the new novel that you have how did you do research for her character well for the coldest winter ever I didn't have to do

research I mean the bottom line is uh you either grew up in the hood or you didn't and uh for the first part of my life I grew up in the Bronx uh first I was on Crowes Avenue in a house and my parents divorced and I was in the projects in Throgs Neck. So you see so many things when you're living there. If you're the type of person who's observant, and that's how I am, kind of observant and very quiet, although people may not believe that, and study a lot. And so when I went to write The Coldest Winter Ever, I wanted to write a cautionary tale against drugs. Because when I was growing up in the Bronx, you know, it was the heroin epidemic and the drugs hit the hood so hard. And I was a child. I was very fearful of it. So when I became an adult, I said, let me write a novel that gives people caution about the whole drug death style.

And and then when I said that to myself, I said, well, you don't know any big hustlers. And, you know, you don't know that life. So how can you write about it? And what do you know about? And this is me talking to myself. And I said, well, I know about women. I said, I know what I'll do. I'll write about the hustler's daughter.

And she's going to be cold. She's going to be cold-blooded. And then I said, cold bloody i'm gonna name her winter and then i said well she gotta be in love with somebody because you know when we're teenagers normally uh us women we have some guy that we're fixated on and uh i said he's gonna be tall dark handsome and i was like dog dog dog and I said midnight I said that's it I'm gonna name her winter I'm gonna name him midnight and I'm gonna name the book the coldest winter then my husband said no the coldest winter ever and that was it wow well how we get here

and why 20 years later the sequel the cold Coldest Winter Ever, Life After Death? What took so long? Oh, because at the end of Coldest Winter Ever, Winter gets sentenced to 15 years. I thought it was important that if it was going to be a genuine cautionary tale, I thought it was very important for the whole hood to feel the absence of winter santiago and i thought it would be really big when winter santiago got released 15 years later so i kind of let it reverberate while i wrote other books on other characters that are midnight yes midnight did you Midnight. Yes, midnight. Did you feel any pressure since Coldest Winter ever was such a staple in black literature and it was so big and massive?

Did you feel any pressure with the sequel? No. I'm a cool vibration, meaning that I don't really get pressed, the readers or the public or anything. Everything that I do, I'm doing for a purpose or I'm doing it for a reason. I want it to be meaningful. And if I was the kind of author that did what the readers expected or what the public expected, then that would lessen my value. Because if you can anticipate or expect what I'm going to write, then you could have wrote it yourself. What's supposed to make me special as an author is I'm writing something so dynamic

you couldn't have thought of it yourself, or at least you didn't up until the moment of the release. I want to talk about Midnight's character from, not from this book, but previously, and his interracial relationship. What are your thoughts on interracial relationships and not even just interracial, but just huge cultural differences? Well, to be honest with you,

I think it's all about the soul. I think the reason why it's an issue for African-American women and men is a political reason. But it's a different reason than emotion, love and soul. The political reason is because I think as African-American people, we have felt all the time, especially women, that there are not enough men, that so many of our men are incarcerated or under court supervision or having economic difficulties. So we have felt that there's not enough men. And so we get angry when somebody from another community marries one of our men. And then also, I think to keep it real, as African-American women, we wonder sometimes, do our men love us? Do they think that we are beautiful? Do they love us if we have the same complexion that they do you know or is it automatically

that they want to find somebody based on them being of a lighter complexion or a wider complexion so now i think it's about the soul two people to come in together for the soul and it's about the belief the faith do they believe in the same things can they make a family that has love and harmony that's balanced you know uh that raises the children well i think those are the dominant issues all right we got more with sister soldier when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with Sister Soulja. What gives you your inspiration to continue to go on?

What inspires you since you inspire so many people? You know, I just want to be good. I want to be good. I want my soul to be good. I care about what happens to my soul after it returns, meaning after I pass away from this earth. I don't believe it's the end of life once you leave the earth. I believe your soul lives on and that there's judgment. I know we live in a time where the young people don't want to believe in judgment or they hate judges that's right and they hate judgment my thing is i'm not the judge but there is a judge and so since i know that there is a judge for my own soul And I'm only responsible for my own soul

For my own soul I want to do the right thing So I can end up in the right place When my soul leaves the earth You know that's one of the reasons What you just said about People not wanting to be judged That's one of the reasons I've always loved Coldest When I Ever

Because there was a real consequence To Winner's Action You know what I mean? Because a lot of times you see these stories And there's no real consequences or repercussions And I've seen that trickle into real life Now these kids really don't think there's no consequences Or repercussions to their action

I think the discussions that we have A lot of times We don't have a common Link with scholarship You know? People who Have studied, not for the sake of being arrogant or being superior to the hood, but for the sake of helping. For example, we had this whole big dialogue going about snitching and whether somebody is a rat or a human, you know, a civilian or,

you know, all of this big dialogue. And when I'm seeing this dialogue, I'm saying, wow, you know, a civilian or, you know, all of this big dialogue. And when I'm seeing this dialogue, I'm saying, wow, you know, in science class, when I was young, they taught me that self-preservation is the first law of nature. That means if somebody's back is up against the wall, their natural inclination will be to save themselves now i'm not saying this to say oh i support tinnitching i'm saying this to say that if you study and you learn some things you won't all the time be shocked that's right by what people do there's an old saying there's no honor among thieves right so how come when there's a ring of thieves or a ring of crime people expect there to be honor that's right can you blame people for what they're what they're what they're doing when they're just trying to survive uh it's not about

blame i think what it is is that uh we all have been given a mind and a soul but your mind you know is is is like a car if you don't put gas in the car the car won't move if you don't put knowledge into your mind your mind won't manufacture good options and you won't know how to grab onto positive opportunities. You have to be concerned about your own longevity. So I want to ask you this. I remember a few years ago, you had done an interview where you said you don't really watch reality shows. And one of the things that Winter was on is, you know, she was planning to get out and do a reality show. So what are your thoughts on reality shows today?

Is there anything that you do like? Well, here's the deal. I watched reality shows up until a point, but I just felt myself getting so sad about the state of our community and the state of our people on the shows. So I think from the beginning of the introduction of the reality shows, we've been very challenged about definitions to the point where young people don't even like definitions anymore. So if I say, okay, let's discuss manhood, let's discuss womanhood, we have to have a 24 hour debate about why we should not say the word man and should not say the word woman.

And that used to be something that happened back in the day with identity. And the fact that we can't even agree on the definitions, that means that we can't even communicate. That's right. So if we don't know the definition of manhood or womanhood, and we don't know the definition of marriage, and we don't know the definition of husband and wife, that means that you could be marrying somebody who actually doesn't know what he or she is supposed to do. But where do we learn this?

Where do we learn this? And that learn this and that's that's part of the problem like you can't go to the barbershop and you have a conversation about what love is i mean you could talk about lebron james at the barbershop but you know you're having a conversation about you know what a man should do in a marriage or what love is or how to raise your child like we don't have those conversations per se. Right. And what our community has to look at is that in other communities, those are the things that make up their culture. So in another community, for example, they might have a faith and from the faith comes the rules. The rules establish the order and define how things should go. But in our community, we don't have a consensus about almost anything. And then even in the larger American

community, we don't have a consensus because America pushes rugged individualism. That's why when COVID hit, there was a big argument. No, is it patriotic to put on a face mask? No, it's not patriotic. It's my right not to put it on. And then there's this big dialogue. As a result, so much time passed without Americans being able to agree. So many things happened. Nobody could integrate into the conversation that this is about science. This is about a virus that happens a particular way. And if you don't adopt these protective procedures, we are at at We're going to have a collective emergency

Even though we're a collection Of rugged individuals You know to add on To what Envy said too Another reason that you know it's hard for us To discuss love in our community Is because of the examples We've seen you know what I mean

Like yeah my father loved My mother but It was toxic you know what i mean like i like yeah my father loved my mother but it was toxic you know what i'm saying it's like we don't see too many good examples of of healthy love and healthy relationships right you're right i mean you're 100 right and that goes for all of us every family is going to experience different kind of things. But the fundamental things is what is causing the crisis in the community of the African American people. Where do we go to learn it? I don't know. Because I feel like as one of the people in hip hop who dedicated myself to study, who went to college and graduated,

who loves books more than any other material thing. I didn't feel even the love in hip-hop, the welcome in hip-hop that I think I should have felt. I was there to be, from a young age, I was there to be helpful. That was always my agenda save the children save the mothers save the fathers you know let's build camps let's build schools let's read relearn the things that we should know in order to keep our community cohesive and in order to survive. And that conversation led to my being an outsider because people, quite frankly, didn't want to hear it,

didn't want to change, didn't want to strive. And as a result, it went on for so long that we haven't corrected ourselves. Now we have a young generation who doesn't like criticism. Okay. So you don't like judgment. You don't want to study. You don't like anything historical because you think it's old.

And you don't like criticism. How will you become a better person day by day? How will you learn? Alright, we got more with Sister Soulja when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. C.J. Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Sister Soldier. What do you think about the cancel culture part where you almost can't learn? You can't do anything wrong because it stays with you. But it's almost like you're not allowed to make a mistake. You're not allowed to grow. You're not allowed to evolve. Yeah, actually, some of the people that keep using

this word toxic are the most toxic. All of the things that I learned seem like everybody thinks they are irrelevant now. Free speech was part of the Constitution. but now it's not free speech. It's politically correct speech or make me feel comfortable speech. And if you don't, I'm going to threaten your financial existence and cancel you and your whole family. Right. That's not that's not free speech. And we were taught when we studied the Constitution of the United States of America that your free speech goes up to the limit of you yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. Meaning you can speak freely as long as you are not setting off a chaotic, illegal situation. And so that was the limit. But now that's not it. It can just be some simple thing you said or some simple thing you read that you spoke about or, you know, you said how you felt about the vaccine or you said about whatever, how you feel about anything.

And you can have your whole career ruined because of it. That's right. I want to go back to the book for a second. You got Nia Long to be the voice of winner for the audio book. Did you pick it yourself or did you have auditions? I picked Nia because the book company sent me 15 names of people who could read the audio version of Life After Death. And I'm an audio book fan, so I buy audio books. So I know off the top, as soon as I hear the voice, if the voice is not right for me, I shut the book off. I don't even care about the story if the voice is not right on the audio book. So they sent me 15 names, and some of the people on the

list that they gave had won Grammys and all kinds of awards and accolades. And I was like, but for the coldest winter ever, this list is irrelevant. It has to be somebody that the hood loves. It has to be somebody that the hood loves. It has to be somebody that the men and the women love. Somebody whose voice is soothing and sultry. Somebody who's considered beautiful. Somebody who's considered soft enough and cool enough. You know, not a pushover, but, you know, still sweet. Knee Along To Me fit that description. That's amazing. I will say, though, Sister Sji, you do have that sultry voice also. Yeah, thank you very much. But you know what?

I knew that I would not be the voice reading The Coldest Winter Ever or Life After Death, my new novel, because I want to keep my voice, the Sister Sol Soldier voice, distinct from the Winter Santiago voice. I don't think those two voices can really mix. And not only that, when I think of anything for Winter, I think what would Winter want? Winter wouldn't want me reading her story. She knows what she wants. She knows what she wants. And she would be like, you know, she would approve of Nia, but she wouldn't approve of other folks. So I'm happy that Nia agreed. Do you listen to any of the women in hip hop today?

Like, are there any of these artists that are out now that you're like, okay, I like, you know, City Girls or Megan Thee Stallion? Well, I have nieces my sisters all have daughters a lot of daughters and um because i have nieces that gonna believe this but i like young mma yeah i like her um who would winter like who wouldn't probably party b okay yeah i think i think you would really like Rhapsody, Sister Soldier. Rhapsody. Okay. I'll have to check it out. She's from North Carolina. I think you would really, really, really dig it. She's a huge, huge fan

of the coldest one ever. Oh, is that right? True lyricist. I think she's the best rapper out. Period. True lyricist. She gets busy. Do they know who her aunt is do they know how big her aunt is and what her aunt has done for our culture my nieces well my nieces and i are very close they make me feel like uh i don't miss the fact that i don't have a daughter

and that i have a son uh and the reason why is because they, we, you know, all of my travels across the country and across the world, usually my nieces come with me. And they're very challenging to me because they don't listen to anything that I say. So they're like the public, you know. They're very challenging to me. But by being in contact with them all of the time,

I'm able to feel the pulse of the young generation and know what's going on. You know, I know your fictional stuff is so great. You know, Cole, I just want to elbow the sequel that's out right now, Life After Death, Midnight. But you did write a memoir in 94, No Disrespect. I don't know what you would call it now, but know you're you're grown a lot more years have you ever thought about pinning something like that again yes the memoir is not my autobiography so i want to write the autobiography

of sister soldier i think it's important for people that are in the public eye to write their autobiographies, including all of you, you know, Charlamagne, Angela Yee, and write your autobiography because after you are no longer here, all kinds of people will come saying all kinds of things

that are not true. And you can't dispute it. You can't debate it. And if you haven't left a matter of record of your life uh then you cannot be uh memorialized properly or remembered properly and that's so important you know well make sure you pick up this book right here that's right life after death to make sure you pick up this book right here That's right, Life After Death, the sequel to Coldest Winter Ever Sister Soulja, you are a treasure man You know we

During Black History Month we Honored different Black History Month legends And we honored you Last month so We really do appreciate you and all your contributions to the culture Absolutely Well I want to say Charlemagne I like your um

your self-correction uh i've seen your growth and and and i'm very happy uh thank you so much thank you thank you so much because when we're young and you're in the house we are something else that's right Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm so excited for this book. I've been waiting for this for decades. I'm really happy it's here. For everybody, make sure you pick it up, Life After Death. Thank you so much.

In stores now. Thank you so much. Sister Soulja, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it.'s the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Ready? Rumor, rumor. On the Breakfast Club.

Listen up. Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now. Well, you all know that Jay-Z recently did that deal where he sold half of the stake in Ace of Spades to LVMH Louis Vitama with Hennessy. So Forbes is valuing the deal at about $630 million, which means that Jay-Z would get about $315 million in that deal. Sounds like good business to me. That's amazing.

And you still own 50% of Ace of Pays now, and now you have a bigger distributor. The biggest, the biggest champagne distributor in the world. Come on, man. Alright, so Forbes also in this article talked about other celebrity deals that have been done in the past five years, like George Clooney. Diageo purchased his tequila company, Casamigos, back in 2017. That transaction valued the company at up to $1 billion, including

$700 million upfront and another $300 million based on performance over the following 10 years. So what did George Clooney end up getting? $200 million pre-tax. That's why he was a top paid actor of 2018 because of that deal. Kylie Jenner with her Kylie Cosmetics. She ended up giving away a 51% stake of the brand back in January of 2020. She ended up getting $540 million pre-tax

and she still has 44.1 percent stake in the company other deals rihanna of course you know rihanna did a deal with lvmh and she did that makeup brand with them and they said she owns 50 well she said that lvmh owns 50 she owns 15 that 15 is about uh 450 million dollars of the3 billion brand. I love it. And I just want to say F you to all you people. I've seen you guys talking a lot. She only owns 15%. 15% is $500 million.

15% of a $4 billion company, you digital D-heads. My goodness. And that's just the makeup, by the way. She also has her fashion house, Fenty, which is also a joint venture with LVMH. And she also, of course, has her lingerie line.

The crazy part is everybody runs around celebrating owning 100% of nothing. When all of these people who actually have big businesses that are making billions and hundreds of millions of dollars, none of them own 100% either. 100% of nothing! This person has a percentage. They're all working together to make something huger. So when they have these big sales, they end up with numbers like this. Give me a 1% of nothing! This person has a percentage. They're all working together to make something huger. So when they have

these big sales, they end up with numbers like this. Give me a 1% of a $4 billion company. Come on, man. Now, Kanye has a more complicated deal with Adidas with Yeezy, and they said that he gets a royalty of approximately 11% of Yeezy revenue, and based on revenues of $1.3 billion

in 2019, they said he likely got about $140 million in royalties. He only has how much? 11%? First of all, don't say only. No, so it's a, no, no, no. No, he's got to have more than that. No, no, no.

It's a, I was trying to say it's a more complicated deal. It's a profit sharing agreement. So he owns his brand Yeezy. But Adidas handles the production, marketing, and distribution. So he gets a royalty from that. Okay. All right. Now that makes sense. Because created he started he found it he built he put that together and he went against all those companies because he wanted to keep ownership that's i was bugging when you said 11 but it's more today he still has ownership though yeah all right now now big sean says that he contemplated suicide many times and even had a

gun in his hand. He was doing an interview for Facebook Watch. And here's what he said. Sometimes it takes more than a song. Sometimes it takes more than an album. Sometimes it takes you really spending time with yourself. And that's one of the things I was neglecting. That was my mentality was taking care of everybody else and trying not to look soft.

So I'm working, exhausting myself for years and years and years. And I couldn't get through the day, you know, without feeling terrible. I couldn't. I was sure contemplating suicide a lot of times, you know, having guns in my hands, you know, and just really just, you know, feeling it for real. Totally get it. All right. Love and light, of course, to Big to big sean yeah i love it i mean all these black men having conversations about their mental health all these black men having

conversations about self-care all these black men you know being vulnerable talking about doing the work on themselves to deal with their traumas i love it dropping the clues box with big sean investing in mental wealth okay all right and ti is not returning for Ant-Man 3. Marvel Studios' upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania. Now, they are saying they're not sure why it's unclear if it's related to the recent accusations against him. But he will not be returning for Ant-Man 3. Yeah, he was never supposed to be in Ant-Man 3, though. Because if you know anything about the Marvel Universe, they are going to the space. They're going to space. They're going to the cosmos now okay they're playing in the quantum realm in

the multiverses i don't think ti fits into that equation all right well that is your rumor report all right thank you missy charlamagne who you giving that down katu well after the hour let's talk about america being a businessman i need uh greg abbott okay governor texas and uh and Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Charlemagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed way. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. the day is a little bit of a mixed one. So like a donkey. Donkey of the day. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey

of the day is a new one. Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, March 3rd, goes to Texanist Governor Greg Abbott and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves. Respectfully or disrespectfully, I don't know how people take these things, but I don't care. Because my true concern at the end of the day is always about the people. I mean, someone has to care about the people.

OK, because it's fair to say that most government officials don't see Greg Abbott, you know, and don't. And Tate Reeves, government officials like Greg Abbott and Tate Reeves don't care because they announced yesterday that they are rescinding the statewide and countywide mask mandates and they are allowing businesses to reopen at 100 capacity okay now these announcements came shortly after cdc director dr rochelle walensky warned state officials against lifting restrictions too quickly but let's give this more context let's go to cnbc news with shepherd smith for the report. The mad rush to reopen is on. States are lifting restrictions, some dramatically, some completely, even as health experts warn, do not do that. The governor of Texas announced his state will get back to normal next week. The governor of the second most populated state in the nation admits that COVID has not suddenly disappeared.

But he says as more Texans get vaccinated, the state is ready to reopen. Then there's the governor of Mississippi rolling back restrictions there as well. Starting tomorrow, Tate Reeves says the state of Mississippi will lift all county mask mandates and allow businesses to open at full capacity. He says the move comes as hospitalizations statewide have plummeted and cases have dramatically declined. Public health officials have been warning the country could be headed

for a fourth wave of COVID if precautions are lifted too soon. When did the first one end? You can't just get back to normal when things aren't normal. What is normal exactly? Would you like to hear what Governor Greg Abbott had to say?

Let's listen. Too many Texans have been sidelined from employment opportunities. Too many small business owners have struggled to pay their bills. This must end. Effective next Wednesday, all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100 percent. Also, I am ending the statewide mask mandate. Now, despite these changes, remember this. Removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility.

You see how you kept referencing businesses? Forget people dying and being sick. It's about the business, OK? Remember that. the business. Now let's listen to Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi. What do you have to say? This new order removes all of our county mask mandates and allows businesses to operate at full capacity

without state-imposed rules or restrictions. If businesses or individuals decide to take additional precautions, they are absolutely within their rights. Business, business, business. What surprises y'all about this? I'm just curious. I mean, I'm giving them donkey today because donkey today is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid.

But y'all can't be surprised, right? I mean, I'm not surprised. We live in a country that cares about profits more than people. Let's be clear. This is all about the economies of these states. Nothing more, nothing less. And America has consistently shown us since the beginning of time that cash rules everything around America. OK, which is nuts to me because it should be consumers rule everything around America because that cash doesn't spend itself.

Everybody is sick and dead. How are you going to get their dead presidents? How are you going to get their dead presidents if everybody dead? Now, Governor Abbott spoke on cases going down in Texas. Let's listen. The number of active COVID cases is the lowest since November and is less than half of what it was just a month ago. Also, today is the lowest positivity rate we've had in four months. We have been under 10% positivity rate for days now. Today, we're now under 9% positivity rate in the state of Texas. But make no mistake, COVID has not suddenly disappeared. I guess I'm the stupid one. I tell y'all all the time,

I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest avenger. But if active COVID cases are going down if the positivity rates of covid are low why stop doing the things that got us there now if i'm attempting to get in shape and i start going to the gym if i start dieting after a few months of doing that i'm not gonna stop working out and eating right when i start to see results. Okay. The results let me know I'm on the right path. So I'm going to keep going until I reach my ultimate goal. But hey, that's just me.

I won't resort back to eating terribly and not working out because I lost five or 10 pounds, especially if my goal is save 40. Now I mentioned Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC earlier. Let's listen to what she had to say. The latest CDC data continue to suggest that recent declines in cases have leveled off at a very high number. The most recent seven-day average of cases represents an increase of a little over 2% compared to the prior seven days. Similarly, the most recent seven-day average of deaths has also increased more than 2% from the previous seven days. At this level of cases with variants spreading, we stand to completely lose the hard earned ground we have gained.

Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards that we know can stop the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. See, Rochelle cares about people. OK, she cares about folks actually getting sick, folks dying. I heard nothing about business and what she said. Okay. Everything she just said is about wanting to keep people healthy. I've been telling y'all this since the beginning of the pandemic. It is so much information out there. I don't know what's true. I don't know what's not true. I just know with my eyes and ears, okay, the things that I have seen and heard, the things that I've seen working, I'm wearing a mask.

Social distancing. Washing your hands. That's what I've been doing for the past year, and it's worked for me. Okay? So why stop now? All right? Self-preservation, people. A basic human instinct.

This country, America, will never put the people first. Okay? They need to change it from we the people to we the people. All right? It should be freedom, liberty, and justice for all y'all with money. The rest of y'all figure it out amongst yourselves. OK, America is not a country. It's a business. Jackie Cogan movie killing them softly.

That's why so many of us American citizens sound like disgruntled employees complaining about the lack of vision of our bosses. But here's the thing. It's not a lack of vision they have. They are purposely choosing not to see us because they are too busy seeing the paper. All right. The business of America is not the people. The business of America is business, period. Let's hope that one day, you know, the words of Peter Marshall come true. All right. Peter Marshall said, may we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what's right. What

these governors are doing may make you feel good, okay, because you are getting to do what you please. But when people's lives are at risk, it's simply not right. Please let Kathy Griffin give Governor Abbott of Texas and Governor Reeves of Mississippi the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of Mississippi the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant

jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Alright. Alright. Thank you for that donkey today. Yes, ma'am. Alright, I guess this will be a bad time to let everybody know I'll be in Atlanta this weekend. DJ. Why? Tell them why you're going to Atlanta

Does the moon come up? Need relationship advice?

Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club club it's time for ask

yee hello who's this hi this is anonymous anonymous what's your question for yee okay so basically i seen my boyfriend i looked at the text log um from my account and i seen that he was texting some escort and when i approached him about it he basically said that it was he was texting some escort. And when I approached him about it, he basically said that he was texting someone about some shoes and he don't know what the phone lines are connected to. So I looked it up on Google and I see that it's escort. So I approached him about it and he still continued to lie. And then one of them was a trans woman

so it's a trans woman and then someone that was you know given jobs or whatever so what's a job? when they lick your butt yeah it's like licking the rim yeah so I mean

we're engaged now and this is after the engagement well it feels i don't know what to do it feels i mean i know what to do but he continues to lie about it so right and he's not going to tell the truth but you know what it is you're asking him something you already know the answer to right and so of course he's lying because he doesn't want you to leave him and he probably hasn't come to terms with whatever it is that he's doing that he's ashamed of which is hitting up escorts right but why do that like i mean why well it clearly is something that he's into and maybe there's things that they're doing that he doesn't want his wife to do a lot of times guys like to do things with people that they pay for that they're not getting at home because they're you know maybe are not really

coming to grips with the fact that they like certain things and they don't want to ask you because he thinks that maybe you'll judge him so we do stuff like that right we you know he likes it you know in the you know or whatever yeah So that's why I'm confused of why you have to go somewhere else. And then now I'm thinking to myself, are you gay? So you use a time that you've done this. You use a strap on on him. No. What do you do? I've never done that. You just lick his. Yeah. He asked me, you know, to lick his butt and, you know, click my finger and which, you know, kind of pleasurable when you're in the moment. Right.

Well, here's my thing. You have some reservations right now. You guys are engaged. Perhaps, you know, don't think about marriage right now if you have reservations. You shouldn't be getting married if you're not sure. So, I mean, you should call it a marriage. We done already.

Envy agrees with your husband. Envy just walked in. He agrees with your husband. I don't agree with nothing. I didn't already. Envy agrees with your husband. Envy just walked in. He agrees with your husband. I don't agree with nothing. I didn't hear nothing. I don't know nothing. I don't know what's going on. Well, I just think, listen, this is what I think.

When you have these issues and you're not even married yet, you got to work through those before you get married, not after. What issues she has? I mean, so. Her fiance's been hitting up escorts, some of them trans women. Listen, if you have any reservations, don't do it until y'all figure out what's going on. He's got to learn to be honest. No matter what it is that he's doing, if you're asking him these questions that you know the answers to and you're going through his things and he's lying to you about it, that's not going to just solve itself.

So do you think he's been doing it? I mean, because we already paid for the wedding so it's not like we can just cancel things off you know yes you can you don't feel comfortable you can yeah what do you think is more expensive to have a wedding that you don't really know for sure you want to have and then later on get divorced or put it off until you're sure right i mean putting it off but i do love him i mean we have kids together. So, right. Just, you know, I'm not saying that you can't get married, but you need to tell him, look, I'm not marrying you until we have open, honest conversation because you can't even make a decision off of what you don't know. Right. So just be like, look, at least allow me the, you know, just give me the respect to tell me the truth so I can make decisions based on facts. Right now you're lying to me. That's already a red flag. I don't want to marry a liar.

Right now you're doing things that you feel like you have to sneak around and do behind my back. You don't even know what I'm cool with, what I'm not cool with. And I don't know what it is that you need from me, if there's anything I can do or if I can't, but I would love for us to have that conversation because I don't want either one of us to get into a situation where we're not happy okay well I mean because I've talked to him multiple times and he just still continued to lie so I mean I don't have you can't marry a liar but it's showing in the text messages my account so and when I look it up on Google it's been does he know that you see his text messages all the time yeah I told him and he said you know I trade shoes so I don't know what this account is linked to but you know yeah he lying

girl like you just can't marry a liar period no matter what it is that he's lying about you just can't do that to yourself. It's not going to end well. Okay. And sometimes you got to give people that ultimatum for them to finally come clean because he's just going to keep on lying, thinking y'all just going to get married. It doesn't work that way. All right. Well, I hope y'all work things through, but just in the meantime, you can't be with nobody that you can't trust.

Right. I'm sorry. Thank you. Okay. He probably I'm sorry. Thank you. Okay. He probably needs to get some individual help. I would suggest that he talk to somebody and maybe that will help him come to terms. It might be things he hasn't come to terms with himself.

Well, I was thinking canceling because, I mean, he's cheated before, you know, and had a whole baby. That's a different story. Girl. Yeah. Let me tell you story. Girl. Yeah. Let me tell you something. Don't do this to yourself.

You might feel like I'm already all the way in so deep in many ways. Right. It's easier said than done. Like, we have kids. And I get that. And it is easier said than done. But you don't want to keep on going deeper and deeper. Right.

Okay. All right. I wish you the best, though. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate Okay. All right. I wish you the best, though. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. All right. Ask Yee.

800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is Real Advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Yes, good morning. It's Harlem Rockstar.

How y'all doing? Hey, Yee. Oh, what's up, Harlem Rockstar? It's Harlem Rockstar. Good morning. Good morning. Peace, peace. Yee, I was trying to tell you this, but, you know, you was like, you was on the live busy

and stuff like that. But listen, this is my question, right? I have a neighbor, and she's, you know, she's very well-season listen, this is my question, right? I have a neighbor and she's, you know, she's very well seasoned, meaning she's older, about 68 or whatever. And sometimes I help her around the house with little knickknacks and, you know, like grocery shopping and stuff like that. So the other day I was helping her with her groceries. Now she told me to have a seat, you know, because she wanted to show me something. So I said, all right, you know, you want to show me something.

Maybe she bought something. So she goes in the room, closes the door, and she was taking a little while. It took about 10 minutes. And I was like, you know, I hope this lady didn't have a stroke or nothing. So she comes out the room in a robe. I hear music playing from somewhere.

I don't even know. No clothes under the robe. And hear music playing from somewhere. I don't even know. No clothes. And she straddles me. So, you know, I have to get up on my head. So listen, so my question is that do I continue avoiding this very well-seasoned lady or do

I confront her over the phone of course because I'm traumatized to go back there. And if I do have a conversation with her, what do I say? Because I was shocked. And it seems to be the older women that have been coaching me lately.

I don't know what it is. I don't know. First of all, nobody can invade your space in that way. She should not have touched you. She should not have been in your space at all. So I think you do have to let her know that she'd be all right but she still can't do that well you need to tell her it doesn't get on the right right so you have to let her know that and i wouldn't be around her at all anymore

i would tell her i was uncomfortable and she's lucky that you're not pressing charges against her for assaulting you because that is is assault. Yeah. Technically, yeah. It is. So you let her know that and be like, look, I'm not comfortable. I won't be around anymore. And I'm telling you right now so that you don't do that to somebody else. You have assaulted me and I'm not...

Just don't be around her. Are you okay? I'm fine. I know that I wasn't giving her the wrong type of vibe. I definitely didn't say you were,? I'm fine. I know that I wasn't giving her the wrong type of vibe. So I was... I definitely didn't say you were, but I'm just asking, are you okay? Because I know things like this can happen and we think we're okay. Yeah, yeah.

No, I'm fine. She just put one leg over me and I'm just like, whoa, gotta go, gotta go. Right, right. Gotta go. Yeah, I definitely don't think that you were asking for it. It does not matter if you were helping her. So, you know, nobody is allowed to do something like that to you without your consent. So, no, you're not wrong.

And you should let her know. But I don't know if you even want to speak to her anymore. I don't, actually. Yeah, no. If I were you, I would probably actually send her a message to read so that I also have that. In case she tries to say something crazy about you. Yeah. I don't think she will, but that's a smart thing about

sending a text message. Yeah. I'm going to do that. All right. Listen, Harlem Rockstar, we're friends over here on social media, so if you need anything, you let me know. But just know it's not a funny situation. It's not anything that should have happened to you. And if later on or, you know, you

feel like I need to talk about it, you should definitely speak to somebody because that definitely wasn't right. Like, I was like, I told one of the person and they kind of thought it was funny because the lady was like, oh, and I'm older or old. No,

she's like, you know, like that, that, that just, that just wasn't, wasn't cool. Like, you know. All right. like, you know, like that just wasn't cool. Like, you know. All right. Well, and listen, anybody out there, if you need help, there's RAINN. And that is for the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline. That number is 800-656-HOPE. And that's how you can get a trained staff member from a sexual assault provider in your area.

Thank you, Dean. Appreciate you. Okay. Okay you, Dean. Appreciate you. Okay. Alright, ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Hit Yee up now. Now we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are beefing

at some wrestlers on social media. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's the one and only. It's the Breakfast Club. It's about time. what's going on rumor report rumor report this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club now if you recall bow wow had said on social media uh last month that he wants to join the wwe he said it's been a lifelong childhood dream of his to wrestle.

Well, it looks like he's dead serious about it. He actually shouted out to Soulja Boy. He said, yo, Soulja Boy, these wrestlers are terrified. I've been giving them the business since I announced I was training. They so scared we're going to take all they shine. And then Soulja Boy said, rap game faker than WWE. T-Bar, who's a wrestler, said, does the rap game take years off your life and leave you with countless injuries and debilitating pain?

Oh, well, maybe just stick to super soaking hose or whatever it is you did 15 years ago. Yeah, they better. Bow Wow will get hurt. He's never going to get hurt. What you mean? Rest of all, what Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are doing is genius. It's wrestling. Wrestling is not real. Of course they get hurt, but they practice and Soulja Boy are doing is genius. It's wrestling. Wrestling is not real.

Wrestlers is a little real. They get hurt, but they practice and they'll figure it out. You think Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are going to practice? They won't be the first celebrities to step into the ring. They do things to make sure that those guys don't get hurt. What they're doing is genius. They're building up anticipation for it, making people want to see it. And even if you want to see Bow Wow and Soulja Boy get in the ring just to get hurt,

you're going to tune in and they're going to get paid. Drop one of those bombs to Bow Wow and Soulja Boy. I'm want to see it. And even if you want to see Bow Wow and Soulja Boy get in the ring just to get hurt, you're going to tune in and they're going to get paid. I'm going to tune in. Randy Orton responded, fake, dare this I don't know if I can say this word, to step up. He don't like movies. Consider us actors that do stunts without pads 200 days a year and don't bitch

when we get surgically repaired and come right back. Consider us 100 times tougher than anyone you've come across. Ain't nothing but a bitch. Very true. All that's true. What he just said is very true. But what Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are doing is great because,

you know, they're making people want to see them in the ring. Even if, even if it's just for them to get hurt. But can Bow Wow pick up a wrestler? Can like, can he body slam a wrestler? Like you can't do none of that.

It don't matter. They can figure all that out. Did somebody get shot by you? What the hell is going on? Listen, there's always sirens around here. Okay. They're on their way somewhere. Good luck.

All right. Kodak Black is going to be allowed to travel across the country for work purposes. Only a federal judge has signed off on that. According to legal documents. He can go. He got that stamp of approval with certain limitations. He can go out of state, but he has to provide a full itinerary schedule

that includes where he is staying when he is traveling. Why leave Florida? That black probably can make a million dollars in Florida just doing shows. But I'm sure he's getting booked everywhere else. Atlanta, especially for All-Star. Georgia, Florida, Georgia, Texas. Texas.

You have a party with him, Envy? Back to Florida. Back to Atlanta. No, I ain't got no parties with Kodak. I got a party with Jeezy and Trick Daddy. But no Kodak. All right. Now, Matthew Knowles is planning to retire from the music industry.

He said, I'm ready to move on. And he told Page Six that he's going to be doing some more fulfilling projects. So it looks like he is planning to do things like helping. He actually launched a podcast on iHeart called Matthew Knowles Impact, and he's been featuring guests who work in a variety of fields. And he said he has a family member that will appear on the show soon. So we're not sure who that is and yeah so when he asked who his dream guest would be he listed people like uh kamala harris oprah winfrey and so on so he's transitioned completely out of music now he wants to be dedicated to mentoring academia yeah i mean it's got to be hard to be matthew knows right because you gave the world destiny's

child and beyonce like that's the ball you gave the world Destiny's Child and Beyonce. That's the ball you set for yourself. So if you don't deliver something like that again, it's just like, maybe you need to find something else to do. All right. In the meantime, Solange said that she was fighting for her life when she recorded her last album.

So she was celebrating the two-year anniversary of When I Get Home, and she wrote this note to her fans on Instagram. When I first started creating When I Get Home, I was quite literally fighting for my life in and out of hospitals with depleting health and broken spirits, asking God to send me a sign. I would not only survive, but that if he let me make it out alive, I would step into the light, whatever that meant. So she didn't elaborate on what it was that affected her health, but she was forced to cancel concerts back in 2017 because of a

nerve disorder that she had. Damn. We sent her to launch Healing Energy. Glad she's on the other side of whatever she was on. Right. Alright. Well, and the Golden Globes, their ratings plummeted during this pandemic. They did that Well, and the Golden Globes, their ratings plummeted during this pandemic.

Who are we repping today, Yeezy? Today we will be honoring Bianca Smith. She is the first black female coach in Major League Baseball history,

and that actually just happened this year in 2021. It's Women's history month and we're celebrating the most influential women in history check out this phenomenal woman as far as you know young girls seeing themselves represented in sports it makes it makes a difference i mean i never thought about coaching when i originally decided i wanted to get into baseball i think that's primarily because it yeah it's not really something I saw, but I always saw women in the front office. I didn't see women on the field, so it never occurred to me to be a coach until I actually got on the field myself and realized, okay, this is something I could do. It's a big responsibility because I know how important representation is. And while it's not something I certainly intended when I

took the position with the Red Sox, it's not something I certainly intended when I took the position with the Red Sox, it's something that I'm certainly willing to be that face if it means other girls, other women get into this game and realize that they could do this too. I'm more than happy to be that representation and give them advice and help them get to where they want to be. That's what being a coach is, is helping guide other people to get to where they want to be. That's what being a coach is, is helping guide other people to get to where they want to actually get to. And that was another phenomenal woman in history. All right, again, congratulations to Bianca Smith.

And I'm going to tell y'all something, man. I'm seeing all these negative reviews on Amazon, which I know are fake, by the way. And I see people complaining about the book. But the one constant I notice is the people complaining about the book haven't even finished the goddamn book. How do you complain about a whole book that's 300 plus pages long, but you ain't even finished it yet? That makes no sense to me. The book just came out yesterday. So it's like, shut up.

Look, I've been waiting for Winter Santiago to see what was going to happen to her after she went to jail. So I'm excited. And I have a theory.
