Well, y'all came a long way. I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does, and y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh, my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy. Yes, you are.

All I do is read about the Breakfast Club. Really? Every morning. That's good. You guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of bed. I'm like, uh, what happened on the Breakfast Club today? Get your ass up.

Good morning, USA! the guy. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday! Yes, it's Tuesday. Good morning. One day, do people count Cinco de Mayo as like a holiday during the week since it's on Wednesday? It's more fun on the weekend, right? Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is also our friend Natina's birthday. Yes. Oh, tomorrow's Natina's birthday? Mm-hmm. Damn.

Cinco de Mayo. Nobody cares about Natina's family. I mean, Cinco de Mayo's a big holiday, bro. No, we do. It's just like how James Brown, God bless the dead, passed away on Christmas. Nobody acknowledges that because it's Christmas.

But we gonna acknowledge it. Like I said, nobody cares about Natina but her family. That's a fun birthday to have, too. If your birthday's on Cinco de Mayo

because everybody wants to go out anyway. Yeah, but you think everybody's having a good time because it's your birthday but really it's because it's Cinco de Mayo. You know what I mean? Because of the tequila and but you think everybody's having a good time because it's your birthday. But really, it's because it's Cinco de Mayo. You know what I mean?

Because of the tequila and the tacos. Everybody's having a good old time because it's Cinco de Mayo. Do you know what Cinco de Mayo is for? Nope. What is it for? A lot of tequila. That's all I know. I have no idea.

You want to tell us, G? Do you know? No, it's for the Mexican army. It was like a war that they fought, and they beat the French Empire. Oh, okay, okay. So it's a victory celebration, basically. Yeah. Now, Charlamagne, let me ask you a question, right?

No. Every morning I see you. Respect my boundaries. My therapist tells me to tell people to respect my boundaries. I told you no. I'm still going to ask. But that's no. I gave you a full ask.

No means no, but I gave him a full no. He's still going. I'm still going to ask. See, but that's no. I gave him a full no means no, but I gave him a full no. He's still going. I'm still going to go. Wow. Okay. Every morning I see you, you're in your car and you have a mask on. You don't trust yourself? Why do you have a mask on in your car?

Well, I'm not answering you because I told you no, so I'll answer you when I'm ready. I see him in his car. He got his mask on. I'm like, why does he have a mask on in his car? And he's by himself. And I'm like, why does he have a mask on in his car? And he's by himself. And I'm like, why? Do you not trust yourself? Do you not trust?

I told you no. I'm not answering you. You're going to respect my boundaries. I'm going to force it. I'll tell you later. I won't tell you, but I'll explain later. But I'm not telling you right now just because you are forcing me. And I told you no.

Yeah, I don't know if you have to wear a mask by yourself. He's not answering us. Oh, and I talked to Yee. Because Yee didn't force me. But no, because I'm pulling up to the building. So I put the mask on before I jump out the car. It's not like I'm riding, you know, the whole commute in with the mask on. I literally put the mask on when I'm like a block away from the building

just because I want to jump out and you know run upstairs. I see I'm like why does he wear his mask? I'm at the light. I'm literally at the light right by the buildings. I put the mask on and I'm getting ready to jump out and run upstairs and you know log on. Alright.

The best feeling is when you get in your car and you can take your mask off after you've been running around all day or you walk in the house and you're like, whew. I can only imagine that's how it feels to take a bra off. I can only imagine. I can only imagine that's how it feels. Let him hang. Breathe.

Let's get the show cracking. Michael Che will be joining us this morning, right? Yeah, not in studio, though, which I don't understand why, because he's in New York. Yeah, comedian Michael Che will be joining us. We'll talk to him a little bit. Maybe he's filming something, because, you know, sometimes when people are filming, they're not allowed. They have to, like, quarantine themselves. Well, he's filming SNL, but, I mean, he still can be here.

That might be true, then. Nah, he can be here. But he come in and get checked and then leaves. He told us, well, he actually told us why he didn't come in. It had nothing to do with that. He thought it was good. He thought that he had to take one too many COVID tests. He told me he had to take

four COVID tests to come in the building. Charlamagne told him it was an anal swab test and he was like, he'll pass. He didn't go through that one. That's it.

One little anal swab and then they use the same Q-tip to do your nose and you're good. See? That's how it wouldn't come either. All right. Front page news.

What are we talking about, Yee? Well, yes. Everybody is supposed to get vaccinated. That's what they're hoping for. And we'll tell you about some new things, some new initiatives they're trying to use to get people to get vaccinated. All right, we'll get into that.

Put it in a hookah. Everybody will get vaccinated if you put the vaccine in a hookah. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with the Seattle Mariners.

Starting Tuesday, they're going to be offering COVID-19 vaccines to eligible fans during the games there. They'll be administered by Seattle Fire personnel with Virginia Mason providing staff and volunteers to assist. I'm not even mad at that. Guess what you get to choose between? Pfizer or Moderna? Moderna or Johnson & Johnson. Oh, no, I see. You a fool if you get that damn Johnson & Johnson.

Okay, any vaccine that comes with a warning and tells you that you may get blood clots, I don't think that you should put that in your body. But I mean, you know, don't listen to me because I'm not vaccinated. A lot of people are scared of shots and they just rather take that one shot one time.

I'm not mad at them doing that at the baseball game though, I mean, because you got to meet people where they are. You know what I mean? So why not? Well, where you guys are in New Jersey, they're doing a shot and a bear program. So you get a free bear if you get the vaccine. A bear or beer? A beer. Beer.

Oh, it's not like you said a bear. She did. I'd rather a bear to be honest with you. If it's a well-trained bear. Sounds like you're saying the same thing. No, if it's a well-trained bear that can dance or guard your property, I'll take a well-trained bear. Because there's a lot of bears just roaming around New Jersey.

Big black bears. And some of them walk on their hind legs. You wouldn't want a well-trained bear? No. You're out your damn mind. As much as you like dogs, please. Where you gonna put it? In the yard. I can control a dog. If a bear go big. It's well-trained.

Come on, ain't nobody running in your house. You got a well-trained bear in the backyard. I'm not even going to my house. And in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and many businesses will be fully reopening in May, May 19th. They're going to be welcoming back restaurants, offices, retail stores, theaters, museums, barbershops, amusement parks, everything. Full capacity, gyms, all of that.

Full capacity? Full capacity. I believe in what I see. No people vaccinated out here in these streets. I'm not mad at it. I'm not going to be out. I'm a homebody anyway. So go ahead and open up. I'll still be at the house.

Alright, and the FDA is authoring Pfizer to give their COVID-19 vaccine for 12 to 15 year olds by early next week. Do the kids need it though? Do the kids need it? If you want to go to school, get it and spread it to your family.

I don't know about the kids. They still develop it. I don't know about the kids. They still develop it. I don't know. I mean, and didn't they say, I mean, COVID has never really impacted the youth like that, right? Or am I tripping? No, you're not tripping. Yeah, but I think younger kids are getting it more than everybody else

because older people are vaccinated for the most part. And kids are going back to school. So, you know what it is. Like when one of your kids goes to school and then one other kid in the classroom has it. And the next thing you know, everyone has it. Bring it back to an adult in the house, maybe. But adults have the vaccines and it's not really affecting the kids. And they don't know necessarily the effects on the kids right now.

But the vaccines aren't. People are still catching COVID with the vaccine, though, right? Yes, they are. Yeah, it's a smaller chance that you'll get it, and if you do get it, there's less chance that you'll get sick or die. Correct. Hey, man, whatever y'all gotta do to make things less complicated, do it.

Okay. Your kids gotta be vaccinated to go to school anyway, though, right? For other things? Yeah, they get other vaccines, but those are emergency use. Those are tested for years. I mean, these are tested also, but not as long. It's very short term. I mean, these are tested also, but not as long. It's very short term. I mean, as I said, if they wanted to get us with vaccines,

they could have got us with vaccines a long time ago. I mean, you know, people get flu shots every year. These kids get vaccines to go to school. Whenever we travel to different countries in Africa, you got to get certain shots. If they wanted to get us with vaccines, they could have been got us. All right.

And Thursday Night Football, if you're ready for that, that's going to be on Amazon Prime starting in 2022. So if you right. And Thursday Night Football, if you're ready for that, that's going to be on Amazon Prime starting in 2022. So if you want to watch Thursday Night Football, except for on Thanksgiving and opening game, that's going to be on Amazon Prime video. They announced that yesterday. Okay. All right.

Phil, what's up? Phil from Dayton. What's up, Phil from Dayton? Yeah, yeah, this is Phil from Dayton. Phil, what's up? Phil from Dayton. What's up, Phil from Dayton? How is this, man? Yeah, I was just calling in. I'm agreeing with y'all. How y'all doing this morning? First off, everybody all right?

Bless black and highly favored, King. That's for sure. Man, I was calling because actually on this note, I heard you talking about the bear. Oh, boy. Took me back a few years ago. I tried to buy a bear out here. They were letting him go for $600, man. My wife looked at me like I was crazy. What?

What kind of band? Black bands? I can't believe we have this conversation. And when they trained him, he had to get them trained. He started out buying it as a cub, but the guy would work with him to train him. But he had it in the backseat like a baby, drinking out of his own bottle. I've seen that. No, no, no. I've seen that on YouTube. backseat like a baby drinking out of his own bottle. I've seen that. No, no, no.

I've seen that on YouTube. I've seen the babies drinking out of bottles. Y'all are bugging if y'all wouldn't want y'all a well-trained bear. Get out of here. I got a bear for you if you want one. I got a bear for you if you want a bear. Bro, I got a bear for you. I got a bear for you if you want a bear. Nobody going to play with you with a bear.

I got a bear for you if you want one, bro. Yo, that even looks harder in your yard. Beware the bear instead of beware the dog. Plus, if you've seen Bad Trip, you could get it in like that. What? Every silver lining has a cloud, though, Yee. I mean, it's a bear. Every silver lining has a cloud?

No, I think it's every cloud has a silver lining. You know what you mean. I guess it could be the other way around, too, though. Yeah, I guess every silver lining could have a cloud as well. You're right. It's all about perspective. Please, it's going to end up wrong. I'm with you, brother. Appreciate you, King.

That's all I'm saying. So, conversations, Nolan Boyd. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on, MV? Good morning, Sean. Come on in, Angela. Peace, Rick's going on, Envy? Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela. Peace, Rick. What up, Rick? Get it off your chest. I was listening to yesterday's interview, right?

And I was thinking, how is Charlamagne, like, roommate shaming people and he's left the O&D town? I wasn't roommate shaming. I think y'all missed the whole point of the conversation. We said a 30-plus-year-old grown man

with another 30-plus-year-old grown man. That was the conversation. Some people are late bloomers. Maybe you're 30, you're a late bloomer. I agree with you. Or maybe you're saving to buy a house. Exactly. I agree with you. But you gotta have more than one bathroom, bro. That's all I was saying.

I agree with that, too. That's all I was saying. I agree with that, too. That's all I was saying. I don't think there's anything wrong with a grown man being with another grown man if it's a means to an end. But you got to have more than one bathroom. You can't have your cheeks touching the same toilet. I hear you. I hear you. Angela, for late bloomers, right?

Speaking of, there's a documentary on Tina Turner. I don't know if you guys have seen it. I started it. Yes. I love Tina Turner. You know, that was my mom's favorite artist when I was growing up. I love Tina Turner. I don't know if you guys have seen it. I started it. Yes. I love Tina Turner. You know, that was my mom's favorite artist

when I was growing up. I love Tina Turner too. Her documentary of her starting really like starting her career over in her early 40s. That's a really

inspiring thing for late filmers. I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday that's in their 30s and they really don't know where they want to go with their life

and their career and I recommended that they watch that because it's they want to go with their life and their career and I recommend that they watch that because it's really inspiring to figure out how to start again. It was really dope because she had to leave

Ike Turner and then people kind of blackballed her a little bit and then they were acting like she couldn't do... She kept coming up all the time

and it came up so many times over the years but she was able to turn her life around and be the person that we know today and it worked all in her late 40s. So, time for the late boomers.

I mean, you got to check up for a little bit of sheer bathroom. What you got to do is get where you need to come. But it's a means to an end, though. It's not a permanent situation. It's a means to an end. 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. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

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.

They both have agreed to give away more than half of their wealth, but they are going to keep on working together on charitable efforts. According to a release, and Bill Gates also tweeted out, after a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage.

And Ebony Williams, the first black woman on Real Housewives of New York as an official cast member, was on with Wendy Williams.

And one of the things that she was talking about was her relationship. It looks like they've broken up. Here's what she had to say. When I was here for Hot Topics, I actually had a ring on. And you know what? This quarantine, I think like a lot of couples, Wendy, it made us tell the truth about our relationship. How long were you with him before quarantine? Almost four years.

Did you live with him at the time of quarantine? I'll tell you what happened. He actually did not quarantine with me. He has three children, two of which are young adults, and he chose to quarantine in New Jersey with his semi-adult children. And for me, listen, I'm not a parent yet, so I'm not, I get that they're number one.

Right. But I need to be number one, Wendy. Well, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but I'm pretty sure Ebony will have, will not have a problem bouncing back in the man department. That is what we call a catch ladies and gentlemen. That's a good topic though. That is a good, you know, you, you're in a relationship,

but your kids, who do you quarantine with? Do you quarantine with your kids? It depends on how old Who do you quarantine with? Do you quarantine with your kids? It depends on how old the kids are too. Or do you quarantine with your boo? Even, even, even depending on what age.

If your kids are young, how do you not quarantine with your young children? Oh yeah, definitely. But even if they're in, I don't know how old that man's kids were,

but even if they're. He said two of them were young adults. So I guess one of them maybe wasn't yet. But you could got it. What's a young adult? Like,

you know what I mean? My daughter's 19. Is she a young adult? I think what y'all, y'all are forgetting is that last year was a year that we never expected and it was something we never saw before. So I would want to be with my kids in that situation too, because it's such an unexpected situation. Good topic. It's a good question. Yeah, absolutely. All right. In addition to that, here's what else Ebony K. Williams had to say. How long did it take you to move on from the time that you realized that he wasn't going to come

quarantine with you? Six months. I mean, I still was holding out hope. We were doing the couples counseling and everything. And then on Zoom. Yeah. And he's a lovely man. Just wasn't for me. You know, he's older. He'd been there, done that. Didn't really want a new baby and all that stuff. I want I want that stuff, Wendy. I wonder why he wouldn't invite them all to be together, though. Like, why wouldn't you invite her to come quarantine with the kids as well? Especially if that was a fiance, but maybe the kids are quarantined with his ex. And especially being that it was such a, like, unexpected situation. Like, nobody knew what to expect from COVID.

So wouldn't you want to gather around with your village in that moment? Wouldn't y'all want to lean on each other? But like you said, it was unexpected. So it's not like there was a plan in place and nobody knew how long it was going to last that's true you know who knows some people didn't want to fly places i don't know if they're in the same city or whatever but it is oh yeah new york and jersey jersey in new york he said she said yeah well make sure you listen to the holding court podcast on the black effect i heart radio podcast network with ebony k william. There is not a more informative, culturally competent podcast out there in regards to legal issues.

So check it out. And don't Real Housewives of New York start tonight? I think it's tonight. Yeah, I'm excited for that. Yeah. I'm excited for that. I'll be watching because of Ebony and Leah. So that is your rumor report.

All right. Now we got front page news next. What are we talking about? Man, and this is a heartbreaking story. And hopefully y'all, I don't know if this is even considered a happy ending, but imagine working for free for over 10 years. We'll tell you who this happened to. And now he's finally getting some money back.

All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Peace to the planet. Charlemagne the God here.

Let's get some front page news where we start yee well let's start in south carolina a man john christopher smith he's a black man from south carolina he was enslaved by his boss who was white and he was enslaved for

over 10 years and so if you guys remember story, we discussed this before and they had ruled that Edwards had to do 10 years in prison. They ruled this back in November of 2019. He pleaded guilty to one count of forced labor for coercing an African-American man with an intellectual disability to work extensive hours at a restaurant for no pay. And this was from 2009 to 2014. And now he's going to get some restitution too, which is really great. The South Carolina man that was forced to work, John Christopher Smith,

is now going to get $546,000. Yeah, salute to John Smith. Drop on the clues bombs for him. I hate how they keep saying enslaved though. I keep seeing that headline. I hate that. Well, he was working without, yeah, he was working without pay.

Yeah, but he's not a slave. I hate the word enslaved. Like, yes, he was working without pay. Yeah, but he's not a slave. I hate the word enslaved. Yes, he was getting treated terribly, but enslaved? It was forced labor. He took advantage of his intellectual disability. At one point, he took some hot tongs and burned him with them because he didn't restock the buffet with fried chicken in time. And he also punched him, beat him with kitchen pans.

He left him physically and psychologically scarred and he was scared what would happen to him if he tried to escape. He said, I wanted to get out of there a long time ago, but I didn't have nobody I could go to. I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't see none of my family. So he was being kidnapped basically. How did he finally get out? Like, how did he finally decide to leave

when somebody see it? An employee's relative alerted authorities of the abuse in 2014. And that's when the Department of Social Services removed Smith from the restaurant that year. What was Smith? And according to Abdullah Mustafa, who's the president of the local chapter of the NAACP, he said, we are talking about enslavement here.

What was the guy charged with? I don't like that word, enslavement. I think that we do a disservice to our ancestors when we say that. But what was the guy charged with? Forced labor. Okay. So he didn't pay any amounts, no minimum wage even, no compensation at all. So, yes, he's going to 10 years in prison.

So what would you call you? So what do you call it? You just call it kidnapping? Kidnapping doesn't mean that you have to work for free. Kidnapping, forced labor. Yeah, he he was kidnapped he was assaulted over and over he wasn't intellectually right to to make his own decision so he did kidnap he was physically harmed he was beaten he was beat that's assault yeah i just don't like comparing things to slavery i just know all Now, Wednesday, a woman who didn't know she was pregnant gave birth on a flight to Hawaii. So Lavinia Munga was flying from Salt Lake City to Honolulu on April 28th for a vacation when she gave birth to her son.

He arrived early at just 29 weeks. But luckily, there was a doctor from Hawaii and three ICU nurses that were also on board that seven-hour Delta flight to help deliver that baby. She was lucky. How many months was she? She said she was 29 weeks. The baby was 29 weeks. She didn't know she was pregnant. Wow. How much is 29 weeks? I graduated in high school. That's like seven months. Seven months? And how you don't know

you're pregnant? She might have shown small. She might have been really small. Like, yeah, when she gets pregnant, you really hardly see that she's pregnant. And the first child we had was only four pounds. You didn't notice your period wasn't coming for seven months? Well, some people still get their periods. Some people still bleed, yeah. I mean, it's definitely happened before.

These people have gone to the bathroom and then gave birth and didn't know they were pregnant. It's definitely happened. And some people have crazy periods. Like you might have a period now and you don't have another period for four months. Like you hear that a lot. Seven months is a long time to not feel something kicking in your stomach.

Well, fortunately, like we said, there are all these nurses and a doctor on board. All right. Now, the three main suspects accused of founding and maintaining a dark web child abuse image site with 400,000 members has been taken down in a global police sting. German police have arrested four members of a gang. They're saying it's the world's biggest child abuse image websites. And so thank God it was a police operation involving regional and federal German officers. They raided seven addresses across Germany and arrested those three men who were accused of operating Boys Town, is what it's called, a platform with indecent images and video of children.

Yikes. Who goes, that's just disgusting. Like, what type of people are, the fact that there was almost half a million members on this site is disgusting. But that is your front page news. You about to see what type of people go to that place? Pedophiles.

Perverts. Sick, twisted individuals. Geesh. All right. All right, sick, twisted individuals. Geesh. All right. All right. Well, that is. Who's up, like, it's just disgusting. Your front page news.

Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. During rumors, we were talking about Ebony K. Williams, and she was doing Wendy, and this is what she said. You know what? This quarantine, I think, like a lot of couples, Wendy, it made us tell the truth about our relationship. How long were you with him before quarantine? Almost four years. I'll tell you what happened.

He actually did not quarantine with me. He has three children, two of which are young adults. And he chose to quarantine in New Jersey with his semi-adult children. And for me, listen, I'm not a parent yet. So I'm not, I get that they're number one. Right. But I need to be number one, Wendy.

He's a lovely man. Just wasn't for me. You know, he's older. Didn't really want a new baby and all that stuff. I want, I want that stuff. All right. Well, let's ask. 800-585-1051.

Fellas, pandemic hits. Do you quarantine with your fiance? Or do you quarantine with your kids? And ladies, if your man doesn't quarantine with you, is it over? Is it a wrap? Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051.'s the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you just joined us we were talking about something ebony k williams said with

wendy williams let's take a listen. You know what? This quarantine, I think, like a lot of couples, Wendy, it made us tell the truth about our relationship. How long were you with him before quarantine? Almost four years. I'll tell you what happened. He actually did not quarantine with me. He has three children, two of which are young adults, and he chose to quarantine

in New Jersey with his semi-adult children. And for me, listen, I'm not a parent yet. So I'm not, I get that they're number one, but I need to be number one, Wendy. He's a lovely man. Just wasn't for me. You know, he's older. Didn't really want a new baby and all that stuff. I want, I want that stuff. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Are you quarantining with your kids or your fiance? And ladies, if your man quarantined with his kids and not you for months at a time, what would you do? All right.

Now, Yee, let's start with you. Now, if your man had a couple of kids and decided he was quarantining with his kids and not you, that was your fiance. You've been together for a while. What would you do in that situation? Man, that's a big if because my man doesn't have that issue. So I can't. It depends. I think it would depend on how old the children are too.

Like are your kids grown? Can they handle things themselves? I would be okay with him quarantining for a while, but at some point I would be like, okay, now let's see each other after maybe like three months, four months. Okay. Charlamagne, what you doing? I don't know the full situation,

so I'm only going off what Ebony said on Wendy. So I'll take it out of that story and just say, ideally, you know, we would all quarantine together, especially if you're my fiance. But if I had to choose, if I had to choose, it would definitely be the kids. You know, none of us knew what COVID was. We didn't know if it was the end of the world. We didn't know how dire the situation was. I would absolutely positively, you know, want to be with my kids in a situation like that. If I was forced to choose, like I said, ideally, all of us would be together because you are my fiance and I love you. You're my family, too. But if I had to choose, of course, I'm choosing my kids. Yeah. And I would say selfishly, I wouldn't want to quarantine with somebody else's kids like if they had to do homeschooling.

And I still got to work every day because Ebbony was working this whole time still too so imagine like the house is kind of noisy i don't know how big you know what is their house isn't that big and now the kids are doing things in different rooms going to school and i'm trying to work i'd rather be by myself yeah i'm with you i'm quarantining with the kids i mean pandemic here we didn't know what it was we thought it was going to take everybody's life away so we were trying to all be safe. I mean, I ain't leaving my kids. I ain't bailing on my family. That is a good point that you just said. I mean, Ebony got a whole life.

You know what I'm saying? Ebony is a whole entity unto herself. So she may not have been able to put herself in that position where she could quarantine with that family. It made more sense for her maybe to be by herself. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Jessica. How are you? Hey, Jess, how you doing this morning? Good, good. Now, your man did this to you? Yeah, so

he's a truck driver, and he refused to come home. He just wanted to keep working, and so what happened was he came home to visit, and he contracted COVID from one of us, so there's that. Oh, so he didn't come back. Once he got COVID in that house, he stayed away, huh? No, no, no. He was forced to stay on land. Oh, okay, okay. Right. Well, guess what?

I hate to sound selfish, but I thank your man for his service. Them truck drivers was definitely essential. And they kept things moving during the pandemic. So salute to all the truck drivers out there. That's the truth. Hello, who's this? Kenyatta. Hey, Keny, who's this? Kenyatta. Hey, Kenyatta, good morning.

Kenyatta, guess what? Ray Cheney! I'm white. Wow. No way. You're a liar. No way. I am not okay if I have a man and he's quarantining with his baby mama.

I don't have any kids, but I just feel like, yeah, that's not okay. What were you doing the rest of the time? Anything can happen to the kids any time of year, so go be with her. That's what a pandemic. If y'all were quarantined for that many months, y'all would sleep together. So go be with her. Now, I didn't hear Ebony say that. Was he quarantining with the baby mama and the kids? I didn hear her say that either i mean that is a good point if they're

young kids adult kids and one was younger so you i mean you gotta think that yes it's probably his ex there as well i feel like ebony would have said that though but i feel like going back and forth from one house to the other some mothers or fathers would be like i don't want you leaving and going out and then coming back and bringing covid and then the kids get it because that happens too like they go back and forth between the parents houses and as a responsible parent you can't go outside of that bubble yeah because even during the pandemic my assistant stayed with us that whole time because we were scared we didn't know what was happening we didn't want anybody in and out the house so we wanted to make sure that you know our house was clean and safe.

So, yeah, we didn't let people in and out our house either. But I get that. Yeah, I don't know if he was quarantining with the baby mama, though. I don't want to just throw that out there. But, yes, that would be wild if he was quarantining with the baby mama and the other kids and just leaving your fiance alone. Nah. All right. Well, 800-585-1051.

Ebony K. Williams was talking to Wendy Williams. She said that her and her man broke up. She said during the pandemic, you know, he chose to quarantine with his kids and not her. And she had a problem with it. So we're asking, what are your thoughts? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Ebony K. Williams. Her and her fiance broke up during the pandemic. She said during the pandemic, her man, well, let's just hear what she said. She was talking to Wendy Williams. You know what? This quarantine, I think like a lot of couples, Wendy, it made us tell the truth about our relationship. How long were you with him before quarantine?

Almost four years. I'll tell you what happened. He actually did not quarantine with me. He has three children, two of which are young adults, and he chose to quarantine in New Jersey with his semi-adult children. And for me, listen, I'm not a parent yet, so I'm not... I get that they're number one. Right. But I need to be number one, Wendy. He's a lovely man. Just wasn't for me, you know? He's older, didn't really want a new baby and all that stuff.

I want that stuff. So we're asking 805585-1051. What would you do? Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? DJ MD Andrew Nishaw made the guy. Peace, King. Julius, what up, brother? Good morning to y'all.

Good morning to y'all. First of all, I just want to say that woman is a fiancé and she did not become number one until those vows were made. So this man already had kids. Those kids are number one. And in those times where they're unknown, nobody knows what's going on,

them kids are number one. I want to be with my kids too. Okay. Yeah, I mean, listen, even after the vows are made, though, they're still your kids. They're still your kids. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Hello, who's this?

Chanel. Hey, Chanel. Good morning. Good morning, Andy. Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Uncle Tyler. Morning. Peace, peace, peace.

How are you? Now, your man says he's quarantining with his kids and not you. What you doing? Nah, he got to go. Because if he's not quarantining with me, that means he's quarantining with another woman. You're not going to use your kids as a youth. Ooh, so you don't even trust him. But what if you're talking to him every day, though,

like FaceTime and every day, and he really is home with his kids? Listen, girl, I'm going to say in the time, in this pandemic, though, you're not going to just have random women coming over and you with your kids in the house. That is true. Hello, who's this? This is Darryl. Darryl, what's up, man?

What's going on? Pandemic hits. You quarantining with your kids, your fiance. What you doing? I'm quarantining with my kids, bro. Yeah, you know, I don't know why any woman would want to put themselves in that situation. When it comes to power rankings, it's impossible to come before

the kids, especially when they're a certain age. That's my flesh and blood. I'm just speaking from experience. You're going to end up having to follow anyway with your lady and each other's face all morning, all day. That's my flesh and blood. I'm just speaking from experience. You're going to end up having to follow anyway with your lady hands. You're in each other's face all morning, all day. That's automatic. Yeah, like I said, the ideal situation would be to have your fiancé, you know, and the kids all together.

But if not, and I got to choose, I'm definitely choosing my kids. But y'all keep adding this other variable of the baby mama being over there too. I don't know if that's the case. It makes sense if you say it because if they had two kids that's young adult, one that's younger than that, who the kids with? The kids ain't just living there by themselves. They might go to college in Jersey. We don't know.

There are parents who they had their kids going back and forth, but only between each other's houses. And in that case, a lot of times the parents would be like, you're not allowed to go anywhere and bring anything back into the house with the kids. Yeah, I left my daughter from college. We ain't nobody coming in and out of our house. Hello, who's this? Hi, Jessica.

Hey, Jessica, good morning. Good morning. I feel that I wouldn't want to be with a guy who looks like a kid first, number one. Word. Yeah, like, I mean, there's no reason for him not to look like a kid first. I don't care what age it is we didn't know what was going on the pandemic was crazy you don't know what's going on if he has his ex-wife there or if his ex-wife is visiting but that mother comes first you got to respect that

okay this is what i love about black people just people in general we added a whole other variable to the story and we don't even We don't even know if it exists. You know what I'm saying? I thought it was a simple conversation about, would you quarantine with your kids or quarantine with your fiance? Now y'all done added a whole other woman into the equation. This man is shacked up with another woman and his kids at the same time. We don't even know if that's the situation.

They was at a hotel. Lord have mercy. The baby mama, him and the baby mama done reconciled and got back together and realized that they are in love with each other during the pandemic lord have mercy they had to sleep on the same bed but they slept on different sides all that lord have mercy what's the moral of the story guys the moral of the story is like i said if an ideal situation it would be the fiance and the kids but if not i'm definitely choosing my kids like it that's tough bro like it

it's tough to even think that he's going to put his kids before you. And as one of the women called when they said, you know, as one of the women said when they called, I wouldn't trust a man who didn't put his kids before any woman. Right. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee. Well, since we're talking about breakups, let's talk about Drake allegedly destroying an eight-year relationship. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,

gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

20, 18, and 13. 20, 18, and 13. Okay. I would still want to be with my kids 20, 18, and 13. Yeah, especially because it was a pandemic. Because it was COVID.

We didn't know what that was. Right. You know what I mean? We didn't know what to expect. We didn't know what was going to happen in the world. Yes, I think

you would want to be with your kids in a situation. Ideal situation, all of y'all together. But if I got to choose, I'm going with the kids. Alright. Now, did y'all see that Diddy changed his middle name officially? To Love. Yep, I did see that. He bended that. Did you guys, it's on his license

now, so he posted it. Now, did you guys like your names growing up um no my middle name is larry and the only reason i didn't like my first name lenard is because people would always say leonard because they would always think it was a misspelling but it's not a misspelling my name is leonard l-e-n-a-r-d let him know it's leonard but they would always say leonard and so i got tired of correcting teachers. So I was just like, man, just call me Larry, man. Yeah, my name was a little too long to fit on the Scantron

when you have to take the standardized test. My name never fit, so they always call me Rashoop, because the N never fit. Rashoop. Rashoop. It sounds like a sneeze. Bless you. And the way my mom spelled it, R-A-A capital S-H-A-U-N was just always difficult to explain to people. Two A's? Yeah, two A's and capital S. Roshanna-A capital S-H-A-U-N was just always difficult to explain to people. Two A's?

Yeah, two A's and capital S. Roshanna. That's crazy. Not Roshanna. Why would they name you Roshanna, bro? It's not Roshanna. It's Roshan. That's wild. R-A-A-S-H-A-U-N. My mom wanted it to be different, so she did two A's and a capital S. Well, she achieved that. She achieved that. I don't know anybody else. R-A-A capital S-H-A-U-N.

I know some Roshans. Not spelled like this. Not spelled like this. Not spelled like that. I mean, that's because y'all fake bougie. That's why when people say their name is... We fake bougie, Lennard. That's why when people say their name is Val Johnson. Remember the dude from Family Matters? I think he died, God bless the dead.

Old people love screaming our letters. Ay. All right. Let's way to God. We are the Breakfast Club. Old people love screaming our letters. Ay. Ay. Ay. All right. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Drake. Drake.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor, rumor. On the Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Drake is being accused of being a homewrecker. Now, this guy, Jamie's son, who's a singer, was engaged to his girlfriend, who's also a singer, Naomi Sharon. They had an eight year relationship until allegedly she got flewed out and he was there, too.

Her fiance was there, too. And that was for Drake certified lover boy album recording sessions. Apparently, Drake wanted to work with her. So the couple went out there to meet and they started recording her vocals for the album. And he now has posted, imagine having the most beautiful, supportive and faithful relationship eight years long with an engagement and wedding planned.

A beautiful woman on your side is ride or die. Then this major opportunity comes in a world star calls your fiance to sign a record deal flies you both over and then out of nowhere all that trust is vanished with knives in your back and in your heart he said i am no longer with the person people think i'm together with i'm no longer with the eight years i thought i was together with i am no longer with the engagement i thought i was together with i've've got to suck if Drake smashes your chick. Now you've got to delete all Drake's music out your playlist. That's a lot of music, bro. That's a decade of music, a decade of features.

You said they were married or just? No, engaged. They've been together for eight years. We can't blame Drake, though. It's not Drake's fault. It's not Drake's fault at all. We can't blame Drake. He told you he's a sniper.

What you supposed to do? It's not Drake's fault. And the not Drake's fault at all. You can't blame Drake. He told you he's a sniper. What you supposed to do? It's not Drake's fault. And the crazy thing is, to me, it's like, okay, you've been with this guy for eight years. You go fly out, go to work with Drake. It ain't like that's gonna be your new man. You know what I mean? That's like a fling or whatever it is. And we don't know if it's true or not, by the way.

It's all alleged. It is all alleged. What if she did it is all alleged what if she what if she did it for them what if she did what if she did that for them like what are you talking what if she did it for them what if she did it put herself in a position like that movie with demi moore yeah there you go there you go like took it like took the l for the for i mean that's not really an l it's not l it's not took the d oh you would. I mean, that's not really an L. It's not an L. It's not an L. Took the D. Oh, you would do it?

I would do it. I don't have to. I don't know this woman's situation. I don't know this young lady's situation. Level up, level up. Nah, I mean, no. No, you can't do that. But I mean, we're saying allegedly because it is allegedly.

Correct. The young man put it out there. He did. I mean, Drake hasn't responded. He might have a whole nother story. Why would he? And sometimes people jump to conclusions. Like if you see a text message and you're like, oh, you slept with him.

You don't know. And if Drake had to respond to every guy whose girl he smashed, he'd be here all day. Right. His album would be delayed. Oh, okay. I think it is. guy whose girl he smashed maybe all day right his album would be delayed oh okay all right now clipper star kawaii leonard went on instagram live and you know he never does that and he has uh his upcoming culture jam project so he also shared some music from that as well

so he said it's emerging hip-hop and basketball together and it's going to drop later this year let me find out excited for that actually i am number one me and kawaii linda share the same born day so he's a cancer and i always appreciate cancers and their artistic abilities but the fact that kawaii does not express himself often music might be his expression we might really find out who kawaii Leonard is through his music. I am absolutely intrigued. Really? Yes. His song is going to be out this Friday, by the way. The song with

Youngboy and Rod Wave. Oh, he rapping? I haven't heard it. So I guess we'll see on Friday. Kawhi Leonard doing music? I didn't see that one coming. That wasn't one I had lined up on my 2021 chart. I didn't see that one either. I't one I had lined up on my 2021 chart I didn't see that one either I'm here

for it I want to hear it alright now Cat Williams did an Instagram live interview with Fat Joe and amongst the things that he talked about was whether or not drugs enhances his funny I can't enjoy it as much as regular people because the whole time I'm thinking

how the f*** did they think of that? What kind of he was on to think of some like that? The misconception is that there are drugs that can help you do your job. No, there isn't. There aren't drugs that help you memorize, to be creative, to come up with something that somebody didn't already say,

to figure out the funny thing in something tragic those are not the side effects of drugs those are the side effects of brilliance yeah i i agree with cat and i commend anybody who can think on drugs because i can't when i'm on drugs i think about nothing i'm just what about marijuana that's all the only drug i take that's the only drug i'm hoping i'm thinking about nothing except for what I want to eat. That's it. All right. In addition, he talks about his famous perm that's not going anywhere.

I'm only the greatest comedian living because I have more female fans than any comedian on the globe. A perm is an homage to them anyway. They know what that is. They let me in the business thinking that maybe I was soft out there. You understand? But it was a misconception. So even as the pimp comedian, you have to understand the brilliance in the fact that he's told no pimp jokes. So they downplay me because they must.

Because the guy that you're saying is crazy and maybe a crackhead has outworked you every second that he has been a peer of yours. Okay. In addition to that, he talks about Richard Pryor. My inspiration has never stopped. So I'm as inspired by the guys I'm watching on TikTok as I am inspired by a Richard Pryor or a George Carlin. Richard Pryor really was a d*** sucking crackhead because he said he was, and yet he is our king. Yo, Cat, you gotta stop. In his autobiography, he tells you who he slept with, what he did, that's what made him the GOAT,

is because he did not hide the things that were bad in his life, the things that you wouldn't tell anybody about. He told that. Kat is correct again. And nobody ever judges you when you live your truth. I mean, they might, but it doesn't matter because it's your truth. When you live your truth, nobody can use your truth against you. That's what Richard Pryor

did very well. Yes, I remember reading Richard Pryor's book and being like, he did what? And just the fact that he was so honest about it, because most people would never put that in a book. Yeah, if I'm correct, he did what? And just the fact that he was so honest about it, because most people would never put that in a book. Yeah, if I'm correct, he was with a transgender, right? Trans woman.

Trans woman, yeah. And then he said she could just stay for the weekend. That's right. When he got down there, there was a little something extra. He just went with it. I read his book, too. That's what I read. The same thing. He said it just like that he said it

something to that effect it was some comedic effect in there okay and then it was kind of like well you're here so let's have a good weekend let's go

alright well that is your rumor report I guess I'm queer coast is clear alright I bet you forgot to do the tuck and fold is what he said.

I ain't playing with y'all today. Who are you giving your donkey to, man? We need a guy named Francis. What's this guy's name? Francis Gitt to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. They say America's not a racist country. I can't tell.

We'll discuss more after the hour. All right. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our audible pick of the hour. All right. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is Brooklyn North,

This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, May 4th, goes to a Lancaster County, South Carolina volunteer fire chief named Francis Butch Gint. Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy on this one. I really said to myself, I'm going to attempt to do donkey of the day this week and not talk about race once. I mean, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and our vice president Kamala Harris said America is not a racist country. So I figured it would be pretty easy to do that. Right. I mean, since our black elected officials say America is not a racist country, then I must be reaching every day looking for stories of white folks being racist. Because according to Senator Scott and Madam VP Harris, America is not a racist country. Right. Well, guess what? Just because you believe you can fly doesn't mean you can. OK, I don't care who says America is not a racist country.

I don't care what position they are in. I don't care how much money they have. It's just a white devil damn lie. OK, I think that by repeating this lie over and over, they are trying to create what is known as the illusion of truth effect. You know, that whole repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. No, that's a law of propaganda that came from a Nazi. So don't let anyone keep peeing on your head and telling you it's Mike's hard lemonade because it's not OK. This is a racist country always has been. And unless we make some radical systemic changes, always will be. See, I'm not a delusional person who thinks they can change the hearts of people. No, no, no, not at all.

I would rather focus on, you know, racist legislation, racist systems, holding people accountable for their racism professionally and personally, civil and criminal. I want to weed out racism and bigotry at its root because that's what America spelled with three K's was founded on. And that's what we need to get rid of. Case in point, Francis Butch Gant. Now, remember, I told you he's a volunteer fire chief. Well, he resigned recently. Why did he resign? Because of a post he put on Facebook. I do not know why racists who hold corporate jobs,

who are elected officials, think they are only sending these messages to their closest friends. We all can see you. And in this case, Francis Gantt had a message for the police. Let's go to WBTV CBS 3 for the report, please. A 42-year veteran of the Volunteer Fire Department, Chief Francis Ghent, wrote a racially charged post saying police should stop responding to calls in black neighborhoods

because the people there would eventually, quote, he wrote, kill each other, and the, quote, fake news wouldn't have a story. He has since deleted that Facebook post. I sincerely apologize. I don't want to stir up unrest in our community. I want us to be together. I want us to heal. I guess it was racially insensitive. I did not mean it that way. Gantz says he was lashing out in frustration at the national news media and the way he feels cable news portrays the police. And now everybody's trying to rip them apart and make

sure that they're trying to disband them and put their lives in jeopardy. Gantz says he wrote a letter of apology to the city council and is planning a meeting with leaders in the black community soon. I love my community. I love my people and I'd do anything for any of them and I didn't mean this to hurt them. Gantz tells me that if the city council asks him to step down, he completely understands and will comply immediately. He also has told me that he has officially sworn off social media. Listen how the news reported that story. Something blatantly racist called racially insensitive.

She said some say is violent. Some he literally said he just wants to kill. He wants us to kill each other okay it's killing not violent okay francis we don't need you giving the police any more reasons not to protect and serve us okay stop responding to black neighborhoods they will eventually kill each other as if them responding to black neighborhoods doesn't often lead to them killing us i'm glad he resigned and that's one reason I'm glad social media exists, because it makes it very hard to hide who you are when you really feel strongly about something like this

guy Francis did. It's hard not to say something, no matter how hard they try to tuck their racism, they will eventually reveal it in a Facebook post. And that's what we need. We need to know who's who. If we don't know who's who, we can't root out the evil. When we know who's who if we don't know who's who we can't root out the evil when we know who's who we can stomp out all the evil but just remember kids even though this volunteer firefighter francis gint is clearly racist america is not a racist country please the next person who interviewed senator tim scott or vp kamala har, asked them for me. If America is not a racist country, what do we call this? Please let Kathy Griffin give Francis Gant

the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. I just want to know what you call it. If America is not a racist country, what do you call it?

Mm-mm. A racist country? A country where people do racist things. A country, what do you call it? That's all. A racist country. A country where people do racist things. A country where people do racist things. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, when we come back, we have comedian Michael Che joining us.

From Saturday Night Live. He's got a special, no, he's got a TV show coming on HBO Max. A series. Yeah. And we're going to talk to him next. That damn Michael Che. That's right. So don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Well,

why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

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

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. Michael Che, welcome. What's up, bro? How you feeling, man? How's everything? Bless black and highly favored, King. How are you? Everything is good, man. What's up, bro? How you feeling, man? How's everything? Bless black and highly favored, King.

How are you? Everything is good, man. I'm excited. Thank you for having me. Now, hold on. Are you in New York? Yeah, I'm in Manhattan. So why couldn't you come to the studio?

Oh, because I had to take like four tests or something like that. And I was like, I'd rather just do it here. Four tests? You got to take one test. You take one rapid test. Maybe it was explaining me uh poorly damn i wish you could be in studio man you got your uh your hbo max comedy series that damn michael chay coming out may 6th yeah man i'm excited this is coming out this thursday it's uh

it's kind of crazy i can't wait for you guys to see it what makes it so crazy you know you work on snf for long enough you know it's a makes it so crazy? You know, you work with us enough for long enough. You know, it's a lot of network standards and things that we could do on that show that we couldn't do at SNL. So it's kind of fun. Now, Michael, tell me what I'm missing about Elon Musk, man. What makes him so controversial? Because I saw on page six it said the cast won't be forced to appear with Elon Musk. What makes him so controversial that the cast wouldn't even want to stand next to Musk. I'm like, what makes him so controversial

that the cast wouldn't even want to stand next to him? What am I missing? I don't know. I think white people just don't like their billionaires for some reason. It's weird because we love our billionaires. I mean, if Oprah and Tyler Perry was coming, we'd be all excited about it.

But whatever reason, I don't know. I think it's a little embarrassing when they realize how much wealth they actually have. But, you know, it's the richest man in the world. I mean, of course I want to meet him. Yeah, I don't understand it. I'm like, well, what has Elon done? I'm looking for the comments.

I'm looking for things he may have done. I don't see it. Why? I don't get it. It's kind of strange to me, to be honest. He's a polarizing guy, man, when you have that much. But I think that's what makes the show exciting, honestly. It's like he's a polarizing guy man it's uh you know when you have that much but i think that's what makes the show exciting honestly it's like he's been on other shows before i don't know why snl specifically i think it's a good thing i think it means people still care about

the show in some way at least because they wouldn't care if they wouldn't know if they didn't care you know so uh i think people still kind of take ownership of even who's booked on the show because the show is still relevant after 46 seasons, which is insane to me. I mean, I wish I hope people care about what I'm doing. Forty six years into me doing it, you know, that's right. Is comedy too sensitive now? Is things too sensitive? Oh, no, I think it's perfect. I love it. I love that. No, you don't. I love it. It means people ain't gonna want to

do it as much, man. It's great. It's perfect for me. You know, there's a reason why y'all do what y'all do and y'all show is what it is because you're willing to do what a lot of people aren't willing to do. You're willing to take the lumps and you're willing to say what you say is gonna have power and impact

no matter what. I like that idea. I like that. That's that's the case, because if that wasn't the case, then anybody would be trying this. And then, you know, what would be so cool about me doing it? And that's a good ass point. So it's like because to get involved in something like comedy or radio or anywhere where you expressing your voice and your opinion, it's got to be worth the risk for you. Yeah, man. That's what makes it exciting.

That's why people want to see you. That's why people want to hear what you want to say. That's why doing the show, doing the breakfast stuff, people want to hear what you're going to say on that show because they know that that show is going to come correct. So for me, I love when it's sensitive. I love when everybody's sensitive about it because they know that I don't care

and it makes business better for me. Now, I also was reading about how Elon Musk was crowdsourcing. He hit his followers up on Twitter and asked for some, he called them skit, but they're sketches, sketch ideas. Did that offend you? No, man. I think it's great. I hope he does some of them, man.

It makes my job easy. I don't got to write as much. Perfect. Are you writing anything for Elon? Hell yeah. I'm trying to write. I'm getting so much done. I want to just give him so many ideas, man.

It's fun. It's exciting. Working with the richest man in the world. The richest man in the world? Yeah. That is baffling. Yeah. I promise you I was just so confused because I was like, well, what?

I really wanted to know what Elon's original sin was that everybody got so mad that he was hosting SNL. I think that's a great get for SNL. Yeah, I really don't know either. I mean, I'm sure somebody knows. I'm sure it's not nothing, but we'll see. It's cool. It's polarized.

I like when a show kind of has that edge. What's the goal for a black man at SNL now? Because, you know, there was the Chris Rocks and the Eddie Murphys, you know, who were there for short stints. But then Keenan kind of changed the game by being there forever. Like, what is Michael Che want to do? I don't know, man. I mean, I've been there like seven years now, which blows my mind.

It doesn't feel like it. But I mean, to me, I like it. You get to summer. You still get enough off time to be able to do other things. You know, when I first started as a writer, I was like the only black writer there. I was the only one. It was Keenan and Jay on the cast and then just me and so now you got since i've been there there's been leslie there's been chris red there's been sam jade has been you know so many different black

people so many different but gary richardson so there's so many different black voices now where stuff wouldn't have worked when i first got there because nobody in the room knew what we was talking about so now when there's six seven because nobody in the room knew what we was talking about. So now when there's six, seven black people in the room, we could kind of have guests like Chappelle and we could have guests like, you know, Esau, we could have guests that we probably wouldn't have had before. So there were rumors that you was going to leave SNL

because of this series. You're going to wait for it to be successful first before you bounce out? I don't think anybody leaves SNL. You still see Maya Rudolph doing skits, man. You still see, you know, Alec Baldwin's been there for 20 years. He's hosted more than anybody else.

I don't think you ever really leave SNL. You know, it's just more like, I guess the workload changes the more you have to do outside of the show. All right, we got more with Michael Che. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, we got more with Michael Che. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Michael Che. Charlamagne? So what's the premise of that damn Michael Che? That's a good question, man. It's really just, it's a sketch show.

It started out as just a sketch show. And it kind of built organically where we would do these kind of tie-ins and these uh a loose narrative to theme the sketches together to make it different from snl to make it different from any other sketch that we've seen before so we're really just trying to make what we wanted to watch you know and a lot of the topics is the stuff that we talk about the way we would approach stand-up comedy a lot of the same subject matter, but, you know, just in sketch form. So, you know, we got a lot of, you know, crazy guests. We got Amari Hardwick.

We got Matthew Mann. We got Jeffrey Owens on it, who's hilarious. We got Ellen Clegg on it. We got a lot of just fun people that we wanted to work with anyway. And it's pretty cool. You must have got some great attorneys to be able to get you a carve-out to do another sketch show. Yeah, it does. Oh, man, it's ill. You know, have got some great attorneys to be able to get you a carve out to do another sketch show. Yeah,

nah, it's ill, man, it's ill. I've been kind of lucky. For real, I've been kind of lucky. I can't front,

I have people complain about, you know, their experiences on network or their experiences at the show, man,

I really can't complain. Sketch is tough too, man, because, you know, especially when you're black because the bar is in living color,

the bar is Chappelle show, you know, especially when you're black, because the bar is in Living Color. The bar is Chappelle Show. You know, sketch can be very hit or miss. We have a whole episode just about that. Just talking about, you know, following your heroes, following the goats. I mean, I was raised on Living Color. I was raised on Partners in Crime. You know, same as everybody else.

So, you know, you really just want to, like I said, you really just want to do the show that you want to see. You know, you really just want to, like I said, you really just want to do the show that you want to see. You know, you really just want to, because that's the only way it's going to stay true. And, you know, people, I think people will like it. It's so crazy that you look

at it and live in color and be like, there's no way in hell a live and cover look could live right now with all the things. It could. You think so?

It could, man. Yeah, it could, man. Look, I'm telling you, what people are saying is not quite reality. It means they can't do it. But it truly can. You see it.

How many times have you seen somebody on TikTok or somebody on Instagram do something wild, flagrant, and it's got 7 million views, 100 million, or whatever it is. People still want that content. People still want that edgy stuff. They still want to laugh at it. It's just a lot of people are afraid to do it, and that's good for us. But that's the problem with the networks, right? Because your point is very valid.

The problem with the networks is if y'all busy watering things down and y'all busy playing it safe, the people will just go where they can get that stuff, which is the YouTube, which is the social media. They don't got to sit around and watch this watered down, woke TV. You're absolutely correct. To me, that's why it's so cool when people are like, oh man, who's hosting

us now? He shouldn't be doing that. It's like, wow, you still care about what's going on on the network, even though you have all this entertainment out there in the world. You have all these different outlets and people still care about what we're doing. That's a testament to that show, you know. So it's all good to me because there's room for everybody.

It's only 24 hours in a day. So you've got to, at some point, narrow down what you want to watch and find a way to get to it. And you got a bunch of the cast members of SNL on your show, too, right? That Dan Michael Che? Yeah, we got Heidi on there. We got Cecily. We got Kenan and Chris doing some voice on a cartoon. It's crazy, man.

There's a lot of fun stuff and surprises in there. What's the sketches you did for your show that y'all presented in the SNL room, but SNL said it was too edgy? Oh, man, nothing, actually. There was nothing on this show. We did the show during the summer, but there's most of this. I would say about 85% of the stuff on this show we definitely can't do i mean we gotta we gotta sketch about uh we got a lot of wild stuff on sketch about what tell us now tell us now you gotta sketch about

what no we got we got a lot of wild stuff man we got it's it's fun it's put it this way it's literally when you watch it you're gonna be like oh I see what he's saying. It's directly to a black experience that maybe SNL wouldn't even be comfortable putting on TV. Because I still think people, when they see an SNL sketch, they still think it's like some white dude, you know, in their study thinking about how they see black people. You know, because, you know because you know the show's historically a white show i guess you would say so even stuff that we would do that we think is funny people would be uncomfortable with it because they don't know that it's us writing it but they don't know that it's us just kind of talking directly to our audience but that's the thing about being on a variety show is that all that i could cut through where you could put on

a sketch where uh out of the 10 sketches, one sketch you're like, I don't get it. And another group was like, this is perfect. You know what I mean? This is the one we like. You know, people come up to me all the time and they tell me a different thing that's the best sketch and we need to do 10 more sketches like it.

And they're all different. So that's, you know, something for everybody on that show. But this show is Target. Is it hard to find a comedic approach, you know, for topics like racial profiling or police brutality or do you even go down that road i don't think it's i don't think it's hard at all man i think is i think to me that's the most fun to me the the the lightning the lightning in the bottle is that's when you catch the light in the bottle that's when you catch that that

track with it where that energy is because people have strong feelings about it. So when you mention it, they know exactly how they feel about it. It's raw. So to me, that's the best. That's the easiest. It's harder to make comedy about stuff I don't care about. Is it a limited series or is it going to be multiple seasons?

What is it going to be? I don't know, man. I want to see what it does. We're dropping six episodes on Thursday and, you know, we'll see what it is. It took so long to do these six because of COVID, because it has no schedule. You know, like I said, we wrote it in the summer. So a lot of the stuff, you know, we hope it's still fresh. We hope nobody touched it. It's kind of crazy that no one has, you know, it's kind of crazy that this stuff still holds up. And it's still kind of exciting. So, yeah, we'll see.

I don't know. Maybe we'll do some more this summer. All right. Well, Michael Che, we want you in studio, man. Man, I want to come to studio. I'll do something else. You're right here in New York. We right in Tribeca.

Pull up. Get the anal swab. And let's do it. Hey, man, hopefully in like two or three weeks it won't even be that way. It's looking like they about to open everything up. It's a July 1, right? Yeah, yeah. Charlemagne gets the anal swab

every day. That's why he's so excited about it. Envy gets the anal swab and then he does the nose swab right after with the same Q-tip. But we need you up here, brother. Hey man, thank you for having me, for real. Yes, sir.

Michael Chase, I ain't f***ing with y'all with that. Ain't no swab, man. That damn Michael Chase. Make sure you check it out this Thursday. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, brother. It's about time.

What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, during an interview with Wallo from Where's Wallo Berman was talking about how much money that he makes annually from the masters of the cash money records artists and former artists as well. And the biggest wire that he's received.

So it starts off with him talking about the biggest wire. What's the biggest wire you ever received from music at one time? Maybe like 400. But I done got this shit like three, four, five times, man. I've been around this shit. Like, real getting real bags. My first big one was like, I always got the 10, 20, 30, 40s. But we went to getting that shit.

Hopping up to 250, 350, 400. But we've been getting them for a minute. Talk to my guy, Wallo, man. Him and Gilly do not take their foot off the gas. I love what those kings are doing. So wait a minute. They said he got checks, wires for 300, 400 million, a couple of tons. Mm-hmm.

All right. In addition, he talks about how much they make a year on Masters. How do you make money off the masters? If it has a value, if it don't have a value, just sitting on some shit that's dead, but it's still your shit, you know, that's understandable. But our shit have value. We license the music. I just started letting people sample my shit. Yeah, it's a gang of ways you make money with your masters. You know, we generate 20, 30 million dollars a year just on our masters yeah i remember reading uh i believe in forbes that cash money has generated like 1.8 billion dollars in gross revenue since

1998 so i don't know if birdman capping i doubt it i don't see the reason i don't see the reason he would have to cap but i do know if you generated that kind of money it should never be any artist on your label just crammed about some people not only only that, I just know there was a time, didn't they foreclose on a home or something that he had in Miami that was Scott Storch's home or something like that? I don't know. Yeah, but sometimes a foreclosure might mean

that it was a situation that you just wanted to get out of it because the house isn't worth as much as what is left that you have to pay on it. So there's all kinds of reasons why people let that happen. I'm going to be honest. That sounded like some hate, bro. Me? Yeah.

No, no, I'm just asking. That sounded like some left field hate for no reason. No, I'm just asking because if you make those amount of checks and things are getting foreclosed and you're having problems with your artists, and I know Birdman, I'm cool with him, but I just always think, where do we go wrong with our financial? Like, do we not know how we invest, and do we just spend money frivolously, or are accountants or lawyers stealing our money?

Like, it don't make sense. So I always try to count somebody's money to see what they do. Oh, so you're a pocket. You be counting people's pockets. Yeah, because I don't want to make the same. No, I'm with you. I do, too. The same things that they do wrong, I don't want to do wrong.

But, yeah, I don't think, I don't know nothing about the foreclosure but yeah if you generated that kind of money it should never be any artist on your label disgruntled about some people ever all right now tiffany haddish did an interview on e-news daily pop and she was talking about adopting you know she also was once in foster care and now she's taking parenting classes here's what she said in parenting classes now to adopt i'm looking at you know five and up really like seven i want them to be able to know how to use the restroom on their own and talk i want them to know that i put in the work and i wanted them i don't want to pay nobody to carry my baby neither because then i have to go through a process of giving myself injections and all that stuff when i was

21 i was really hard up with money, and I gave up a bunch of eggs. So who knows? I might got some kids out here in the streets. Tiffany will make an amazing mother. She's a great person, and she's great with kids. I agree. And she's been through that foster care system, so she knows.

She knows the love a foster child needs. All right. Now, Mike Tyson, he has an upcoming ABC News series that's all about him. And it's called Mike Tyson, The Knockout. And here is a piece of that trailer. When you think about Mike Tyson in the ring, he was unbeatable. But outside the ring... The only person that defeated him was him.

Robin, does he hit you? He shakes, he pushes, he swings. His life started to spiral out of control. It's a tragic narrative. The obsession remains. It seems that he is unstoppable. It seems that he is forgiven for his crimes. Sheesh.

That'll be interesting. Why wouldn't he be forgiven for his crimes? I mean, he paid the debt to society, right? Isn't that the whole point? I think the way she was looking at it was that it wasn't stopping. I don't know. That's what I took from it. I mean, either way, he's forgiven by God. It doesn't matter what humans think of him.

I don't understand why we act like people can't evolve from their past. Like, how old is Mike Tyson now? 50-something. And they say if a man at 50 that thinks the same way that he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life, right? Mike... But I think this is old footage, no? Like from, I don't know if that's something new

that was said, but it's a two-part primetime event. It has archival footage and previously unaired interviews with Mike Tyson himself. So it could have been something that somebody said previously. I don't know that that's something that they're saying now. So that's not from 2021?

Yeah. This is like a docuseries so it's old footage and things like that. So you can watch that. It premieres on May 25th and the second installment will be on June 1st on ABC. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow.
